Guan Jiyu, who was lying in bed due to serious injuries, had just woken up when he heard a commotion outside the door, and then saw his door being kicked open.
"Guan Jiyu, now you know how to act cowardly!" The visitor came in a menacing tone.
As expected, it was Jiang Yingnian who came back in a hurry.
Looking at each other, Guan Jiyu saw Jiang Yingnian's pale face, with only one pair of horribly scarlet eyes. That young face was full of exhaustion and resentment, and had already sprouted a lot of stubble. But it had not been seen for a year.
, when I saw him again, he was in such a situation.
Jiang Yingnian looked at her fiercely as if looking at a huge enemy.
"Repay my elder brother's life!" He was like an angry beast, every word seemed aggressive. Standing next to him, Han Xu, who had a fairly good relationship with Guan Jiyu in the past, could not say anything to reconcile him at this moment.
He tried to persuade his master to calm down, but he could only remain silent.
Guan Jiyu's face turned pale, and he got out of bed silently and walked up to him. After a while, he only managed to say one sentence: "If my life can be exchanged for the eldest son's, I will not hesitate for a moment."
At this moment she didn't know what to say, it seemed she could only say this.
"Your life? How much is your life worth?" Jiang Yingnian did not accept this sentence, but was even more irritated. He said disdainfully: "None of your ten lives are worthy of being compared with my elder brother."
After hearing this, she knew that she would not be able to say another word.
Jiang Yingnian's voice was already crying. All his anger was brought back to its original state at this moment. He looked at Guan Jiyu sadly, holding back his tears, and said: "You said you would protect him with your life.
Guan Jiyu, why now? Why do you break your promise?"
Believe what you say.
These four words hit her heart like a hammer. Even if he gave her a few hard slaps, she would at least feel better. But Jiang Yingnian's expression, with just a few words, made her feel a little better.
Send her back to hell.
This was the only time in these years that she and Jiang Yingnian had some resonance.
Jiang Yingnian's pain when she lost her limbs was equivalent to a heart-breaking injury for her.
On the way back to Nanqin from Beizhong, she was almost in a coma. Occasionally the bumps on the road caused the pain of the wound to wake her up, but it only took a moment.
She seemed to have had a long, long dream.
Everything in the dream was beyond her control. She was so powerless that she watched Jiang Qing fall from the arrow. Her ears were filled with confusion. She just watched the person she respected the most fall. He was usually tall and tall.
For a moment, it seemed that his body could no longer support the majesty. All the chaos and shouts around him exploded wantonly. Before he could say anything, he fell heavily into the mud.
Jiang Qing always liked to be clean, and Beizhong was much colder than Nanqin. He was still wearing the fox fur cloak he wore when she first met him, and the white fur was now splattered with mud spots.
How she wanted to help him up and brush away the dirt for him...
As Jiang Qing fell to the ground, Guan Jiyu could no longer hear any sounds around her. Her hands and feet seemed to be no longer hers. There was a sudden dull pain in her shoulders, and she fell down and lost consciousness.
How good would it be to just keep sleeping like this? Just keep sleeping like this, she doesn't want to wake up.
The carriage sent her back from the northern military camp jolted her so much that she woke up for a moment as she approached Nanqin, shrinking back and refusing to open her eyes.
The tears couldn't stop flowing.
Guan Jiyu felt that the soul of this body was dead, and all they sent back was her empty skin.
There is absolutely no way back for her in this world.
Regarding that question, Guan Jiyu really couldn't answer Jiang Yingnian. Why did she break her promise?
The promises she made from the bottom of her heart in the past seemed to be too light now.
She said she would protect the eldest son with her life.
But can the "sure" in the promise be fulfilled? Guan Jiyu began to doubt herself for the first time. She thought too highly of herself, she thought she was confident, and she was regarded as Jiang Qing's "pride" in the past - that
Equipped with extraordinary kung fu, she represented Qingziying and repeatedly won the first place in various competitions...
All the glory about her now turned into sharp thorns that were hard to look at, piercing her heart.
How should she explain? Should she say to Jiang Yingnian, "I fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain"? She should say, "There are enemy troops invading the camp where the head of the Beizhongdu family who is traveling with me is sleeping. The eldest son ordered me to go first."
Go help”?
Ridiculous... too ridiculous. Why didn't she think of the reason that seems so ridiculous now?
Even if there are thousands of excuses, she, Guan Jiyu, is Jiang Qing's personal guard! There is no big reason why she should not leave Jiang Qing alone in danger.
"I'm sorry." Guan Jiyu's heart was filled with despair, "The eldest son is no longer here, and I really have no reason to be in this world."
She suddenly picked up the dagger and sword on the table and tried to kill herself, but Han Xu knocked her to the ground.
"Jiyu! Don't do anything stupid!" Han Xu urged.
Jiang Yingnian's face turned pale for a moment.
"Do you think it's over when you die?" Jiang Yingnian said bitterly: "It's not a pity for you to die, but the Northern Guyi Army who killed my eldest brother, are you waiting for me to take revenge?!"
Not a single word in these words was polite, but Guan Jiyu sounded somewhat forgiving.
He finally returned to his original self. He was willful and stubborn, and when he was unable to do anything, he would definitely find a way to confidently find helpers to achieve his goals.
But this time it’s not about being “righteous”, it’s what she should do.
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but you have to come with me to take revenge before you can die."
Jiang Yingnian looked arrogant. He was extremely tall and looked down at her in a condescending manner.
Guan Jiyu's face was expressionless. Even if she had to raise her head to look at him, she had no intention of looking up to him. Jiang Qing has always been the backbone of the family, but now that he is gone, the second son, Jiang Xian, is frail and sick, and he must not let go of his responsibilities as the head of the family.
On the shoulders of the second young master.
Only Jiang Yingnian... She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yingnian again.
She has learned a lot about this young master from Jiang Mansion over the years.
Guan Jiyu naturally understood in her heart that avenging Jiang Qing was the top priority, but what should Jiang Mansion do in the future? How should she deal with herself? She had no choice.
She was a sharp sword of the Jiang family in life, but in death, she will be a piece of scrap metal of the Jiang family.
Jiang Qing treated her so kindly and rationally before his death, and she had to at least see the Guyi Army dead with her own eyes.
But when she thought that from now on, her freedom would temporarily belong to Jiang Yingnian, Guan Jiyu couldn't help but frown.
Han Xu's voice brought her thoughts back, and he said to Jiang Yingnian: "Sir, you still need to go and see the capital city in person. Mrs. Du, who was traveling with her at that time, also unfortunately passed away in the chaos."
Jiang Yingnian nodded and said: "I will go there immediately." He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Guying in the north... If I don't avenge this, my surname is not Jiang!"
"Mrs. Du... was also brutally killed by Guyi's army? Third Young Master, can I go to the capital together?" After hearing the news, Guan Jiyu felt a faint pain in his heart.
Jiang Yingnian sneered and said, "What? After hearing about your former master, can't you stand it anymore? My eldest brother really raised a good dog!"
Han Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, thoughtfully.
However, Guan Jiyu had no reaction to such insulting words.
Jiang Yingnian became even more angry when he saw her being so submissive. He couldn't help but said angrily: "You are just a dog that is not well fed. It is extremely cold in the north, and I can't stop you from grabbing someone."
Visiting the old master?”
Guan Jiyu felt disappointed when his request was rejected.
"If you don't have time to worry about others, it's better to take care of yourself first. Although your life is worthless, don't forget whose food you are eating now and who you are working for? If it weren't for you, my eldest brother would
Nor..."
"Forget it, Han Xu, let's go."
Jiang Yingnian's words came to her lips and she swallowed them. Naturally, he was dissatisfied with her, kicked the stool next to her hard, and walked out the door.
Old owner...
Guan Jiyu knew that Jiang Yingnian used this word with bad intentions. He obviously had no personal grudges with the Beizhong family Dufu, but if Guan Jiyu was associated with Dufu, he would definitely create a
There is a strange, dead air that is neither yin nor yang.
He mocked her past and mocked the government for not wanting her, yet she acted like a loyal and humble slave.
Guan Jiyu lay back on the bed and began to think of every detail of these years. To be fair, Du Yuanqiao gave her a life-saving meal, but Jiang Qing opened the skylight of her life and gave her the first ray of light in her life.
.
Guan Jiyu never blamed Du Yuanqiao in her heart, and was even grateful for his kindness. She understood the rules in the capital, and her young age was not a reason. Du Yuanqiao was a person who only looked at results.
She had been ill for a long time at that time. It wasn't that Du Yuanqiao didn't give her enough time, but that she didn't live up to her expectations.
No one would do good deeds for no reason, and the capital was not a "soup shed" that could permanently support them. Among that group of children, she and Zhan Feng were the only ones with the best qualifications, but the capital only needed a night whistle for personal protection.
Survival of the fittest.
A powerless and helpless person like her has no choice.
