The cold wind whistled outside the house.
Jiang Pengji had changed into a clean and neat outfit. The God Slaying Sword hung on her waist, her expression as calm as usual.
"The snow outside is heavy. Why don't you put on an extra coat, my lord?"
Xu Ke spoke with familiarity.
"The weather is cold, but the heart is cold. What's the difference between wearing one more coat and one less coat?" Jiang Pengji took half a step past him and tilted her head. "Lead the way. I hope it's not too far. My body is as strong as a bear. I can take off two more coats. You, on the other hand, should keep warm in your old age. "
Xu Ke smiled and bent down to pick up the lantern. He slowly led the way in front.
The cold wind blew the flying snow into their hair. The flying snow was slightly thicker. From afar, it looked like white hair.
"I suddenly hope that the snow will be heavier." Jiang Pengji and Xu Ke maintained a distance of about one meter. The person in front of them carried the lantern and walked slowly in the snow. There was only the sound of the two of them stepping on the snow, breathing, and the sound of the wind. The seemingly noisy night scene of winter snow gave people a different kind of silence. "In this case, if something really happens to me, I'll be considered to have lived a long life."
Xu Ke did not answer. His back was still straight, but his fingers that held the lantern trembled slightly.
She kept following Xu Ke's guidance. He led her farther and farther away. The surrounding scenery also became lonely.
Jiang Pengji said, "Speaking of which, Xiaoyu, do you remember how long we've known each other?"
Xu Ke did not answer. Jiang Pengji continued, "I remember it was not long after the Flower Festival when I was 12."
"How can I not remember? It's an unforgettable day in my life."
Jiang Pengji counted with her fingers. "I don't usually pay attention to it. Now that I think about it, I'll be 30 in two months."
To be honest, other than the group of salted fish in the streaming room, the person she had known for the longest time in this life was actually Xu Ke.
She had known the salted fish in the streaming room for 17 years and eight months. She had also known Xu Ke for 17 years and eight months. They were master and servant.
Jiang Pengji thought that time passed very slowly. When she turned around, she saw that everyone had changed from teenagers to young adults. They were rushing to their thirties and forties.
Based on the average age of this era, more than half of a lifetime had passed.
Xu Ke asked her. "Indeed. In another two months and thirteen days, it will be the lord's 30th birthday."
The ancient people celebrated their birthdays in a big way, such as their thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth birthdays.
Jiang Pengji said regretfully, "The 30th birthday is of great significance. It's a pity that it's not a good year. It's destined that we won't be able to hold a grand celebration this year."
She wanted to hold a good party, but there were a thousand things waiting to be done everywhere. Money was needed everywhere, and it was really not suitable to waste it.
Xu Ke held onto the lamp and said, "My Lord has always been frugal and doesn't like extravagance and waste. I'm afraid you won't be willing to hold a grand birthday celebration."
He had been by Jiang Pengji's side for a total of seventeen birthdays. Every year, she dealt with it with a night of longevity noodles.
During those three years in Langya County, he was a little more extravagant. Other than eating a bowl of longevity noodles at home, he would also go out to a restaurant to buy a table of food and wine.
Jiang Pengji smiled. "Xiaoyu knows me best."
Every time she said that she wanted to have a good birthday, she would always fail for one reason or another. Everything would be simple.
To put it bluntly, he was still used to being simple.
The two of them chatted as they walked. After walking for an hour, they finally saw the flickering candlelight in the distance.
Jiang Pengji placed her hand in front of her eyes. "Tsk, this place is really remote."
Xu Ke said, "After all, it's something that can't be seen in the light. Does my lord still expect to do it openly and honorably?"
Jiang Pengji was silent for a moment.
"What you said makes sense, but won't this place be too harsh for my three babies at home?"
The corner of Xu Ke's mouth twitched. He said calmly, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. It even has the earthly dragon charcoal and fire. How can it freeze them?"
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "That's true. It can't afford to pay for them if they freeze."
When they were only a hundred meters away from the field, Jiang Pengji suddenly said, "Xiaoyu …"
"Hmm?"
"I've always done things with a clear conscience, but only you … I've always owed you. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Jiang Pengji stopped in her tracks. Xu Ke glanced at the field behind Jiang Pengji. His expression was a little absent-minded and disappointed. "Listen to the truth? The truth is … if my lord comes out of this place, I won't resent you. If it's not you who comes out, don't blame me for holding a grudge against you for the rest of my life. "
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure."
When Qiguan Rang said that he hoped to see the day she ascended to the throne, Salted Fish said that he wanted to watch the golden age with her. She even made a verbal promise that they would drink and chat merrily … Now Xu Ke said that he would blame her if she couldn't come out … Every time this happened, she felt that they were not only little princesses but also masters.
Xu Ke said, "My lord has always been confident and conceited. Why are you so timid now?"
Jiang Pengji pinched her chin and said, "Maybe it's because I'm old. After all, I'm a middle-aged man approaching 30."
Xu Ke chuckled. I'll believe your nonsense.
Jiang Pengji waved at Xu Ke and went to the field without looking back.
Xu Ke looked at the entrance of the field. The corner of his lips held a cold smile. He stood alone in the snow.
He didn't know if it was an old friend who had accompanied him for 17 years and eight months, or a stranger in the skin of an old friend.
"Thinking about it, it's really sad …"
The so-called "god" wantonly manipulated people's lives. He gave as he pleased and took away as he pleased. Mortals were just dolls to be manipulated.
From the "god"'s point of view, mortals who had no ability to resist could only choose to be silent in order to protect themselves.
Little did they know that there would come a day when mortals would bare their fangs.
"I hope the person who comes out is you, my lord."
Xu Ke raised his hand and caressed the dagger hidden in his sleeve. His expression was unreadable and gloomy.
At the same time, Jiang Pengji pushed open the door to the main courtyard. She was surprised to find familiar faces inside.
"Why are you all gathered here for a meeting?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and flicked the snow off her shoulders.
The First Prince, who had been sobbing silently, saw the familiar faces. His big eyes lit up.
"Mother!"
Jiang Pengji smiled. "Wow … I haven't seen you in a few months. Lian's pronunciation is so clear."
There were several iron cages in the main hall. She saw her daughter leaning on the iron bars and looking at her pitifully.
"Mother, hug!"
Her Highness Lian reached out for a hug. His Highness Yan, who was in another cage, rolled his eyes and gave Jiang Pengji a look.
Finish the battle quickly. Don't waste time.
At that moment, the people in the other three big cages woke up.
"I … Ouch … It hurts. Where is this … Sister?"
It was Liu Zhao's voice.
"Shut up. Don't be noisy."
It was Liu She's voice.
Wei Ci sat in his cell and looked at Jiang Pengji. He seemed to be sleepwalking.
Beiyuan Wanzhou was a thousand miles away. Was he hallucinating?
Liu She, Liu Zhao, and Wei Ci.
Jiang Lian, Jiang Yan, the listless and sleepy Feng You, and the panda girl who was tightly hugged by Jiang Yan.
And …
Xun Mei stood in the middle and confronted Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji said, "Don't you know how to greet your old master?"
Xun Mei's expression was wooden and her eyes were dull. She looked like a puppet that could move.
Jiang Pengji said, "You hid it well enough. You used the opportunity of marrying Xiaoyu to clear your name."
Xun Mei finally moved. She spoke in an electronic voice. "This is just a coincidence. It's the maid's fault for thinking she's smart. You're also stupid enough to hand the opportunity to me."
"What do you mean?"
She wouldn't admit that she was stupid.
"Xun Mei" raised her hand and pointed at herself. "This maid was just a chess piece that someone set up."
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I know that the streaming system of the woman whose name I don't know is a part of you. Xun Mei and Taxue were her chess pieces at first. Taxue went down the dark path, and Xun Mei took the opportunity to jump out of the swamp. "
"Xun Mei" said calmly, "Mortals always think that they resist fate and arrangements, but in fact, they just fall into a bigger trap."
Jiang Pengji said, "Xun Mei didn't get rid of you?"
"Of course not. She thought she got rid of me. From the beginning to the end, she was under my control."
Jiang Pengji was silent.
"And you, thinking you're smart, actually married a little maid to Xu Ke, and even entrusted Xu Ke with an important task."
Jiang Pengji's expression didn't change. She didn't seem surprised by the situation at all.
"What did you do to Xu Ke?"
"Xun Mei" laughed, but the electronic voice sounded weird.
"Nothing. I just let him understand what 'a wise man submits to circumstances' means. You boast that you can see through people's hearts, but you don't know that Xu Ke has already prepared a backup plan. No matter if you or I get out of here alive today, Xu Ke will make the one who gets out his master. As long as Xu Ke doesn't change his stance, your trusted subordinates can't do anything about it. Jiang Pengji, you spent almost 18 years to make a wedding dress for me. How does it feel? This is the first debt that I'll collect from the Jiang family! "
Jiang Pengji said, "It doesn't feel good. Just take the farm if you want it. You make it sound like I'm poor."
"Xun Mei"'s smile froze for a moment. "It's good that you can accept it."
After saying that, she took out a dagger and lifted His Highness, who was hugging the panda tightly, out of the iron prison.
Jiang Pengji: "…"
"Since you don't value it, then give up your body. Otherwise, these people will lose their lives. Especially these twins, you gave birth to them. Their skin is so tender, I only need to make a light cut on their necks, and they will die. "
Wei Ci's face turned pale when he heard that. "How dare you hurt His Highness?"
"Xun Mei" rolled her eyes at Wei Ci. "Don't worry, it will be your turn."
Jiang Pengji pouted. "You're getting more and more depraved. You can't win in a direct fight, but you've learned to play dirty tricks."
"Xun Mei" said, "As long as I can win, I can tolerate any means."
Jiang Pengji said, "What should I do?"
"Xun Mei" pointed at the gloves on the ground. "Here, just put this on."
Jiang Pengji picked it up and looked at it. "What is this?"
"Xun Mei" said, "It's a separation of the physical body and the spiritual body. That's how Liu Xi died."
Liu She and Liu Zhao's expressions changed drastically.
Jiang Pengji asked, "What if I don't do it?"
"Then I can only grab their spiritual bodies one by one in front of you, including your important ministers and close friends. Jiang Pengji, I've been forced to a dead end. I'm capable of anything. If I really die, I'll drag someone down with me. "
Jiang Pengji sighed. "Sky Brain, you're so depraved that it makes my heart ache."
The former Sky Brain of the Federation had escaped for two thousand years, and now it was still slicing itself into pieces like cutting steak.
Now it was still using such a shameless method. It was so depraved that it made one's heart ache.
