Just stay together for a few more moments, and she will leave as soon as the sun rises. I believe everything will be fine.
Jiang Mingzhi's eyelashes were filled with tears, and she nodded with a smile.
But in the middle of the night, a group of men in black broke in.
The guards Jiang Mingzhi brought from Kyoto immediately started fighting with the group.
But these people are obviously people who have been living on the edge of a knife for years. Every move they make is fatal and there is no possibility of leaving anyone alive.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Mingzhi urged Zhou Suijin and Zhou Shiqing to leave first.
But who would have thought that a man in black avoided the guards' entanglement and stabbed Zhou Yihuai.
In a flash, Zhou Suijin was shot by an arrow and fell to the ground.
…
In an assassination attempt, Zhou Suijin was killed and Jiang Mingzhi's three guards were also killed.
The Zhou family moved to another place overnight.
But Jiang Mingzhi knew very well that the killer could show up so quickly, it must not be because of their arrival today.
It is obvious that the border is no longer safe.
The most dangerous place is actually the safest.
Jiang Mingzhi persuaded everyone in the Zhou family to go to the capital.
"The court is currently in turmoil. The emperor is seriously ill, the princes are eyeing him covetously, and various forces are fighting each other. This is a good time to fish in troubled waters."
Jiang Mingzhi analyzed the pros and cons, "The overall situation is still uncertain. King Hui will not allow anyone to become a stumbling block on his path to success."
At that time, many members of the Zhou family were killed or injured, but the family of General Zhou, the most core member of the Zhou family, disappeared as the carriage fell off the cliff.
As the saying goes, if you want to see the person alive, you must find the body. King Hui was suspicious by nature and would never give up searching for the Zhou family easily.
Even if it is a mistake, no one will be let off.
Now, Jiang Mingzhi just used the excuse of going out of Beijing to seek medical treatment and packaged Zhou Yihuai's family as traveling doctors and brought them back to Beijing. This was a natural thing to do.
But the journey back to Beijing was not smooth. Along the way, Jiang Mingzhi and his group were constantly hunted down, and Jiang Mingzhi keenly discovered that these people did not seem to be from the same group.
It was already May, and the sun was getting hotter. Because of Zhou Suijin's death, Zhou Yihuai and Xu were both depressed. Zhou Shiqing was so frightened that he had nightmares every day and would look for his sister as soon as he woke up.
Jiang Mingzhi witnessed her younger sister, who used to be as soft and sweet as a little cotton ball and would call her sister, die in front of her. She fell down covered in blood. She seemed to have returned to the day when she witnessed the execution of the entire Zhou family.
That day, with that kind of sun and that kind of mood, she had thought that after so many years, the grief would be diluted by time. But when she witnessed the tragedy of the tragic death of her loved ones happening again, Jiang Mingzhi's heart was still filled with deep grief and regret.
She would also keep asking herself, if she let go of everything, pretended nothing had happened, and didn't disturb the lives of her parents, brothers and sisters... would Sui Jin not die?
She kept falling into regret and self-blame, but she could never get the answer she wanted.
The pursuit did not stop at all because of the suffering of Jiang Mingzhi and his group, but instead became more and more intense.
On this day, Jiang Mingzhi and his group were chased into the mountains. Seeing that they might be caught at any time, Zhou Yihuai finally lost his patience and personally told Jiang Mingzhi a secret that he had been hiding until now.
"So, this is the truth behind why I've been hunted ever since I came to the border?"
Jiang Mingzhi was a little dazed as he watched his father take out a palm-sized piece of blood-written letter from the illegible red gold ring.
Therefore, my father has always held the evidence that King Hui framed him, but the Zhou family has already been destroyed, so... my father has actually made his choice long ago. He does not want to step into the turbulent palace again to seek justice for the deceased.
It was not until today that Jiang Mingzhi suddenly realized that after experiencing life and death, what his father wanted was just to keep this peaceful and happy life. No fame and fortune, no innocence or quagmire, could compare to the family happiness that was within his reach.
So, she was wrong.
"Mingzhi girl, this is what King Hui has been wanting to find the most. I wanted to swallow all this dirty water and pretend nothing happened, living in anonymity with your aunt and two children. Being alive is more important than anything else. But now Jin'er has been implicated and killed by me. If this continues, I don't know who will die next."
Zhou Yihuai raised his eyes with tears in them.
He knew better than anyone how serious the current situation was, and now it was time to make a decision.
"Mingzhi girl, the Zhou family's blood feud has nothing to do with you. It's already a great honor for you to lend a helping hand. Now, your uncle will shoulder his own responsibilities. I only ask that you do your uncle one last favor."
Having said this, Zhou Yihuai turned around and glanced at Xu who was coaxing Zhou Shiqing, with deep reluctance in his eyes.
"Help uncle and save your aunt and Shi Qing's lives. Leave the rest to uncle!"
At that moment, an inextricable sadness surged in her heart. Her father's determination and the affection that she no longer dared to express made her heart ache.
She also blamed her father for preferring to linger on rather than seek revenge, but she didn't know that her father's love was silent but deafening. He was willing to risk his own life and fight to the death to save his wife and children.
Jiang Mingzhi lowered his eyelids, raised them again, and made a decision.
