Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 102: End of the Play

The bodyguards dragged all of them down. The opera costumes from those bright actors were peeled off. Unable to move a step, they were paralyzed on the ground, cutting extremely sorry figures as they were towed away. Jin Man Tang, whose name was famous for a while, instantly turned into prisoners.

What awaited them was an ending even more tragic than this 《Jian Ge Wen Ling》.

Jiang Li watched Little Peach's rear view.

Such a delicate and charming young opera singer. She, as a female, couldn't help taking pity, but Ji Heng did not seem to be moved in the slightest.

Jiang Li turned around and looked at Ji Heng.

In the somber black and white courtyard, his red clothes were especially prominent and garish. The broken and disorderly stage no longer had the mellow music heard just now. There's only the blood and swords left scattered on the ground, a reminder that a fight had just occurred here. The young man shook his fan lightly, his appearance romantic, the cold-heartedness he showed just now could not be seen at all.

His mind was like steel, but his face was full of tenderness. Jiang Li had never seen such a person. Remaining calm, speaking and laughing while killing.

"Why does Miss Jiang second look at me like this?" He asked while smiling.

"The play just now was quite brilliant," Jiang Li said: "I truly admire the duke."

Ji Heng closed his fan and said: "I don't act in a play."

"But," Jiang Li said: "the duke did not enter the play, therefore the duke won."

Ji Heng was too clear-headed, Jiang Li could see that since long ago. His heart distinguished everything very clearly. He was dressed in bright red clothes, but his heart was black and white like the courtyard before her eyes. He was distinctly clear on what he saw. As a result, when Little Peach casted amorous glances at him, when the opera tunes aroused the sympathy of the audiences, he held a smile in the corner of his lips, but his heart was full of ridicule.

Just like he had known from earlier that Jin Man Tang had followed and came to Xiangyang with the excuse of fawning on him, when in fact, it was to assassinate him. He knew about this play for a long time, thus he could prepare earlier, but he waited for this moment when Jin Man Tang sang a complete drama.

He just wanted to see the play.

Jiang Li thought, perhaps she, the Jiang family and the Ye family are merely a play in Ji Heng's eyes. The reason why he is paying attention is due to be bit of interest. As for how engrossed he is, it is just a play, why waste so much mental and physical energy? Anyway it's not real.

Ji Heng said: "Second miss seems to be very touched?"

Jiang Li smiled: "Just feeling that the things in the world are impermanent."

"Is Miss Jiang second satisfied with this play?"

"Don't dare to be dissatisfied." Jiang Li laughed.

"Don't say it as if I'm very scary," the corner of Ji Heng's lips was raised. He lowered his voice ambiguously, "just now, when second miss was faced with danger, weren't you so scared that you drilled into my embrace?"

Jiang Li nearly choked.

Then, when it was the time between life and death, if she didn't find a shield, she would really feel wronged in case she was mistakenly killed under a sword. So of course she wanted Ji Heng to block in front. The words exported by Ji Heng at this moment while he looked at her sideways intentionally with interest made the action she made just now seem to imply a different meaning.
