I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

A group of people rushed to the once prestigious Jiang family mansion without stopping.Now, just like the Xiangxue Pavilion, the ruins and ruins, the gate of the mansion is closed, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, deserted like a deserted island.In the past, hundreds of people washed Jiang Mansion with blood. It seems that there are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts floating here, trying to drag all trespassers into the nether hell.

Thinking of the cruel family destruction in the past, Yu Tai couldn't help shivering when he was blown by the cold wind.

The house that was tragically destroyed, the royal family and nobles avoided it for fear. Even though the house was huge and comparable in scale to the prince's mansion, it was sadly abandoned and put on hold until now.

Yu Tai bravely entered the gate of the mansion, opened the way for Gu Jinzhi in front, stopped and walked, and broke out in a cold sweat from fright at the slightest disturbance.On the contrary, Gu Jinzhi was focused on moving forward, and had no fear of this kind of mansion that had been destroyed before.The Fubingmen who followed Gu Jinzhi also rushed in and divided into several teams to search the front and back yards.

"Little Li'er!" Gu Jinzhi yelled, but no one responded.He quickened his pace along the veranda, passed through the hanging flower door, and walked around to the long-dried water pavilion.Suddenly, a blue shadow flashed across the covered bridge.The blood in Gu Jinzhi's whole body boiled, he confirmed that he was right, and chased after him in surprise: "Little Li'er!"

Gu Jinzhi ran in a hurry, leaving the nervous Yu Tai far behind.Following the blue shadow from the front yard to the inner yard, Gu Jinzhi was startled when he passed through the hanging flower gate, staring fixedly at the blue figure standing in the distance.

Gu Jinzhi felt joy and pain in his heart.

That person was Jiang Li.

He was wearing clothes of the same fabric as the one picked up by the Fucheng—the lapel of lake blue, but his body was stained with blood, especially on the left shoulder.He stood sideways under the dead plum tree, in the snow.

Blood was dripping from his white fingertips into the snow, dyeing the white snow into a shocking red snow drop by drop.His face was frighteningly pale, and the black hair on his temples was soaked by the lake water, clinging to his cheeks, making him look extremely haggard.He didn't say a word, and stared blankly ahead in a daze, as if he didn't notice anyone approaching.

Gu Jinzhi's heart was pinched, and with every drop of blood, his heart throbbed with pain.He wanted to go over to see where Jiang Li was hurt, but he had a premonition that he couldn't rush over.He stood at the hanging flower gate, stared at the people in the courtyard, and called softly: "Little Li'er?"

Jiang Li's body trembled, and he turned his head slowly, facing Gu Jinzhi's concerned eyes.At that moment, Jiang Li smiled.

It was a smile that Gu Jinzhi had never seen before. It came from the heart, bright but unassuming, warm as jade, bright and moving.That smile is clear and beautiful, the sun, the moon and the stars are dimmed by the light, the wind and the moon, and everything in the world is eclipsed.

"The plum blossoms are blooming very well this year." He turned his eyes and said, looking at the forest of plum blossoms that had already withered and died.

Gu Jinzhi's heart skipped a beat: "Little, little Li'er?"

Jiang Li looked back, looked at Gu Jinzhi with piercing eyes, and smiled again: "Mother, come and see."

Gu Jinzhi: "..."

After wandering around and finally finding Gu Jinzhi, Yutai didn't wait to be surprised, when he saw Jiang Li with a strange expression, the back of his spine straightened: "Your Highness, what's wrong with Mr. Jiang?"

Gu Jinzhi didn't answer Yu Tai's question, but walked towards Jiang Li: "Little Li'er, it's my king, do you still know me?"

Yu Tai was frightened for a while: "Your Highness, be careful, Mr. Jiang is out of his mind."

Gu Jinzhi cautiously approached, and saw the half of the smile on Jiang Li's face faded, and he said seriously: "I heard from the housekeeper that there are distinguished guests here today?"

"Little Li'er, you see this king clearly." Gu Jinzhi was careful everywhere, for fear that his rash advance would alarm Jiang Li and cause irreparable consequences.

Jiang Li's eyes were lowered, and his expression was gloomy: "The child stays in the back house all day and can't go out. Could it be that he can't even see the guests who come to visit? Mother said that the guests are extremely honorable. Since I am an elder, I, as a junior, should pay homage to him. Xunzi Said: Courtesy is the ultimate in humanity. Even if you and your father say that I have been sick for a long time and my body is weak, but etiquette must be respected, right? "

Gu Jinzhi listened in a daze, but Yu Tai felt horrified: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Jiang Li." Gu Jinzhi walked up to Jiang Li, and he solemnly called him by name: "Jiang Junge."

Jiang Li, who had a gentle face, was suddenly taken aback. When he looked up again, the fear in his eyes flashed away, and then replaced by endless sadness and pain.Gu Jinzhi's heart was in pain. He couldn't see Jiang Li's expression, and was about to speak, but Jiang Li suddenly bent his knees, and fell to his knees. Gu Jinzhi's face changed drastically in fright, and he pretended to help.

"It's the child's fault." Jiang Li's breathing was rapid, his face was full of fear and guilt, he insisted on kneeling in the cold snow, with heartbreaking tears shining in his eyes: "It's me who is willful, it's me who doesn't care. Listening to my father's teachings, I'm playing with my child's temper. If I don't lose my temper and run away from home, if I can stay at home, maybe, maybe you and your mother... and the lives of more than a hundred people in Jiang's family They won't die. It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Gu Jinzhi knelt down and comforted him repeatedly: "Little Li'er, this is not your fault. If you were in the mansion at that time, you might not have escaped death."

"Father, everything is blamed on me. You asked me to practice martial arts to protect my family, but I... I failed your expectations, father and mother, all the people in the house died. I didn't protect anyone, I couldn't save anyone .”

Gu Jinzhi was heartbroken for a while, looking at the bright red blood on Jiang Li's body, he wanted to examine the wound but dared not touch it lightly: "Little Li'er, don't be like this..."

"Father, you wish me to stay away from strife and killing, and wish my pure heart will last forever. But I..." Jiang Li stretched out her hands tremblingly: "I have killed countless people. My hands have already been stained with blood, and I have failed your expectations. "

The young man's thin body shivered in the cold wind: "Father, I am the only one left alone in this vast world. I endured to survive, faced hatred alone, and dealt with conspiracy, killing, blood and swords every day. I feel...so helpless, It’s so cruel. Every time I dream back at midnight, the memories of my youth are like a knife in my heart. I know I can’t lose, and I’m always on the alert, because once I miss, the hatred on my shoulders will have nowhere to repay, and I can’t Losing...Even if my muscles are cramp and my bones are shattered, and my heart is pierced by thousands of swords, I have to persevere, and I have to go through it alone."

Gu Jinzhi's face was pale, and he bit his lower lip tightly, almost oozing blood. He hugged Jiang Li, holding the heartbroken person tightly in his arms: "Little Li'er, who said you are alone? With this king here, this king will always be by your side! As long as you want, this king can do anything for you."

Jiang Li in his arms suddenly struggled, he pushed Gu Jinzhi away forcefully, took a few steps back, his face was pale, and his eyes were fierce: "Tell me, why did you slaughter me all over the house!"

Yu Tai was terrified: "Your Highness, is Mr. Jiang crazy?"

"I have investigated, and the Jiang family has no grievances or enmities with you. You ordered the entire Zhuhui to kill all of the Jiang family. Are you only out of personal grievances? What is your relationship with my father!" With the pain in his chest, his right hand condensed into a palm blade, and slashed at Gu Jinzhi's neck.

Yu Tai was so frightened on the spot that he screamed: "Young Master Jiang, don't do it!" He ran over at the same time as his entourage and guard, caught Jiang Li's knife with his elbow, and was immediately forced back by Jiang Li's domineering and ruthless internal strength After a few steps, the whole arm went numb.When he stabilized his body, his face can be described as shocking and shocking.

He subconsciously protected his elbow. If Jiang Li hadn't suffered internal injuries and was unconscious at this moment, his arm might be useless with that slap.

Yu Tai didn't care about the pain, fearing that Jiang Li would make another move, he rushed forward before he could catch his breath, but was stopped by Gu Jinzhi beside him: "You don't want to hurt little Li'er."

"..." Yu Tai clutched his sore, painful and numb elbow.

Who hurt whom?

"Little Li'er." Gu Jinzhi boldly took a step forward, with warm tenderness in his eyes, looking at Jiang Li who was in a daze, with a haggard face and blood-stained clothes in front of him.He forced himself to curl his lips into a gentle smile, and his tone was as soft as a handful of velvet: "Little Li'er, come home with me."

go home?

Jiang Li's heart trembled, and his stern eyes suddenly became bewildered.

Where is the house?Where is home, he has no home, no place to go back to, no one waiting for him to go back.

If you feel displaced and helpless, then this king can allow you to settle down.From now on, this will be your home. When you feel tired outside, feel free to come back to the palace, feel free to tell this king.

Jiang Li's heart was tightly grasped by invisible hands, his slack pupils suddenly froze, he stared blankly at the person in front of him, and shouted in shock: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Gu Jinzhi was taken aback for a moment, before he felt the joy of being recognized, Jiang Li suddenly clutched his chest tightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
