Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 129 Injured

Jiang Yin and Li Ji stood face to face, the moonlight shone into the room through the window, giving it a hazy beauty.

In this situation, a man and a woman alone should have some ambiguity. But no matter how Li Ji felt, Jiang Yin's heart was indeed not moved at all.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Li Ji appeared here for no apparent reason is frightening and suspicious.

The two were silent, but the noise just now had already woken up Xiao Luo who was sleeping on the couch in the outer room.

"My wife." Xiao Luo called softly. As soon as she turned in, she saw Li Ji, who was wearing a nightgown, standing in front of her wife.

She was startled and was about to scream but immediately covered her mouth and quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin was defeated by Li Ji's gaze, and then he raised his hand and patted Xiao Luo's shoulder, whispering: "Go to the outer room and guard. Tell me if there is any situation. Don't let anyone in."

She smelled blood, and in the moonlight she saw a few drops of suspicious liquid under Li Ji's feet. She suspected that Li Ji was injured.

Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment, but under Jiang Yin's urging, she reluctantly returned to the outer room to guard the door.

Although Li Ji and the others knew each other, there were differences between men and women, and it was inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room.

Now it seems that she can only be more vigilant and come in to protect her wife immediately if something goes wrong.

When Xiao Luo went out of the room, looking back every few steps, Jiang Yin frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

Li Ji was slightly stunned, then raised his mouth and nodded, "Yes, I am injured. The wound is on my shoulder. Miss Jiang, do you have any medicine for wounds?"

"Yes, you can sit down and change before you leave." Jiang Yin sighed, took out the golden wound medicine that he had not given out before and handed it to him, "Come to think of it, this golden wound medicine was given by you."

It was given to her by Li Ji when she was injured in the assassination in Chashan. It worked really well. She carried it with her in case of emergency.

"That's great, you didn't use it." Li Ji sat down on the chair next to the tea table, unbuttoned his clothes and said, "Miss Jiang, do you want to watch me change the medicine?"

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Yin with a hint of sarcasm.

Jiang Yin's face turned red when he looked at her, and she quickly turned her back.

She opened her mouth and said dumbly, "Hurry up."

This guy is really something. How come he has become like this now?

Seeing this, Li Ji did not tease her. He chuckled and began to apply the medicine to himself seriously.

For a moment, even the air began to stagnate.

Jiang Yin felt uncomfortable, and after a while, he asked, "Why are you here, and how do you know I live here?"

She thought there was nothing wrong with her outfit, and she didn't know how Li Ji found out exactly which room she was staying in.

Li Ji knows it, so, do others know it too?

Jiang Yin was a little worried about this.

Li Ji paused for a moment, then continued to apply the medicine as if nothing had happened, saying casually, "Of course I know. I saw you enter this inn at noon, so I paid attention to you."

Jiang Yin was puzzled and asked, "But I am a woman dressed as a man, how do you know it is me?"

She really began to doubt whether there were any flaws in her disguise as a man.

Li Ji chuckled and said, "I would recognize you even if you turned into ash, let alone you just changed your clothes."

He looked at Jiang Yin's back, with a hint of fondness in his eyes. He had to admit that Jiang Yin was special in his heart.

He didn't know when it started, but he didn't hate this feeling. On the contrary, Jiang Yin seemed to be somewhat resistant to him.

After being in contact for so long, he still hasn't figured out where this resistance comes from.

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "Then try to see if you can recognize Hui as me some other day."

I can recognize him even if he turns into ashes. Do you think he has the ability to reach the sky?

However, before she could think a few words in her mind, she was suddenly pulled around by Li Ji and forced to look at him directly.

Jiang Yin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and frowned, "What are you doing!"

She glanced at his bare arms inadvertently, then looked away hurriedly as if she was burned.

However, Li Ji did not let her go. He turned her head to face him and said seriously, "You will not turn into ashes, never. Don't say such things again in the future."

For some reason, whenever he thought of Jiang Yin turning into ashes, his heart ached, as if Jiang Yin had really left him.

"Ah?" Jiang Yin blinked, not understanding what he was fussing about.

But she still compromised tactfully and said, "Okay, I won't say such things again. Go apply the medicine first, the wound is bleeding again."

Only now did she realize that Li Ji's injury was quite serious this time. It looked like there was a bloody hole, and blood was constantly oozing out.

"It's okay, just a minor injury." After getting a satisfactory answer, Li Ji sat back and continued to apply medicine to himself.

Jiang Yin followed and asked curiously, "Who hurt you? Why does it look like it was hurt by a needle?"

Since I had been forced to see his exposed arms just now, it didn't matter if I looked at them now.

Besides, hasn’t she seen Li Ji in his previous life?

Ahem, she looked embarrassed and glanced uncomfortably towards the outside. Xiao Luo didn't move. It seemed that their movements were indeed small and did not attract Xiao Luo's attention.

It’s a good thing she didn’t notice, otherwise she wouldn’t know where to put her face.

However, if Li Ji's wound was really caused by the awl, then he must have been injured by the person who killed her parents.

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "It was indeed a cone. He was injured in the posthouse."

His expression slightly straightened, and he continued, "You also know that man. He is the murderer of your parents."

Whatever Jiang Yin could find out, he could naturally find out too.

This time he was chasing the suspect and happened to come across the incident at the post house. With new and old grudges added up, he took action.

Unfortunately, the other party was not a pushover either. He was caught off guard and fell into the trap, and was injured.

But the other party was not in a good condition either. His meridians were injured and it was hard to say whether he would be able to fight in the future.

"You beat him half to death?" Jiang Yin suddenly became excited, but still tried to restrain himself, "Do you think he will die?"

If she didn't know, she would have wanted to send someone to take advantage of the chaos to stab him a few more times. This would probably be the closest she could get to revenge.

Li Ji's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Don't even think about it. You can't take advantage of the situation now, you'll just end up taking the blame.

We have a common enemy, and I will help you avenge your grievance."

In fact, those people had no mortal hatred against him, so he didn't need to kill them all.

But Jiang Yin had a mortal feud with them, so in order to nip the danger in the bud, he might as well kill them.

Jiang Yin said regretfully: "It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity. However, I will avenge myself, so I won't trouble you anymore."

In her previous life, Li Ji never avenged her, so who knows what will happen to him in this life.

It would be better for her to take revenge herself so as not to owe anyone a favor.

She was just talking just now. The best time to kill has passed.

Now that the assassins have retreated, if she goes there now and is discovered, even the previous incident will be blamed on her.
