Chapter 445: The Scheming Brother-in-law vs. the Unmarried Sister-in-law (29)



Xiao Heng's body suddenly tensed up. He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li in shock, his breathing stagnating.

"Ali, you..."

"Aren't we going to Honghu Temple? Let's go. My Qinggong skills are not that good."

Jiang Li thought that Xiao Heng was going to use his Qinggong skills to take her to Honghu Temple, so she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her little face against his chest.

Looking at the head on his chest, Xiao Heng's Adam's apple moved slightly. The hands hanging at his sides slowly raised up, and when they were about to embrace Jiang Li's back, they hung in mid-air.

His selfishness made him and Jiang Li hug each other tightly, but his reason told him that he couldn't do that now.

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the little head in front of him, with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably until Jiang Li looked up in confusion, then he hastily retracted his mouth.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Seeing Xiao Heng standing still, Jiang Li looked up at him.

Xiao Heng coughed twice and said, "Right away."

After saying that, he hooked his index finger to his mouth and whistled, and soon the sound of horse hooves was heard from the front.

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white horse galloping towards them and finally stopped in front of them.

“What a beautiful horse!”

The next moment Jiang Li let go of Xiao Heng, walked to the white horse, raised her hand and stroked its head.

"Ali, be careful!"

Xiao Heng was about to remind him, but the scene in front of him made him stunned.

The originally unruly white horse lowered its head when Jiang Li stretched out her hand, rubbed it against her palm, and let her stroke it.

"So good." Jiang Li smiled and turned to look at Xiao Heng: "Ah Heng, where did you get this horse?"

"Your Majesty gave it to me as a reward. My brother saw that I liked it and gave it to me. This horse has a fierce temper. It took me several days to tame it. I didn't expect it to be so docile in front of Ali."

Jiang Li rubbed the whiskers on the horse's head and looked ahead. "Is this the only horse?"

"I rode this horse back from Kyoto and left it at someone else's place. It's the only one I have, so Ali has to ride with me."

It was true that the white horse was the one Xiao Heng rode from Kyoto, and it was also true that he had fostered it with someone else. However, the place where he fostered it was a stable, where there were many horses. The reason why he only called the white horse was simply because he wanted to share one with Jiang Li.

"Okay, okay, no need to feel wronged. If it weren't for Ah Heng, I wouldn't be able to see the plum blossoms! Let's go!"

Jiang Li turned over and sat on the horse's back, lowered her eyes to look at Xiao Heng, and stretched out her hand to him.

Looking at the jade hand in front of him, Xiao Heng's heart began to pound. He swallowed, raised his hand to hold Jiang Li's hand, and wrapped it tightly in his palm.

He spun around and climbed onto the horse's back, sitting behind Jiang Li.

At this moment, the originally obedient white horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed. Seeing this, Xiao Heng hurriedly grabbed the reins with both hands and held Jiang Li tightly in his arms.

Jiang Li's body tilted backwards uncontrollably, and finally her back was pressed tightly against Xiao Heng's chest.

The white horse seemed to have achieved its goal and put its hooves on the ground obediently.

In an instant, the only thing lingering in front of my nose was the subtle fragrance of Jiang Li's hair.

Xiao Heng curled his lips and folded his arms calmly: "This horse is unruly and often has twitches. Ah Li, you better sit tight."

Jiang Li leaned tightly against Xiao Heng's chest, touched the horse's head, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"Hold on tight, let's go."

"drive!"

Xiao Heng clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the next moment the white horse leaped out.

A white horse was galloping in the silent bamboo forest, with two figures, one blue and one purple, sitting on the horse's back. The purple robe wrapped the blue skirt tightly, sticking closely to each other.

“So many people?”

Jiang Li was quite shocked after seeing the scene.

"Ali, you don't know that the highly respected Master Hui En of Honghu Temple has returned from his travels. He will give lectures at Honghu Temple in the next few days. Many people come here to admire his reputation. In addition, there is a plum forest in Honghu Temple. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom in winter, the temple is packed with pilgrims."

"Master Huien?"

Jiang Li was surprised when she heard the familiar name. Her jade pendant was given to her by Master Huien, and she didn't know if it was from the same person.

"Ari also knows Master Huien?"

"My grandmother has some acquaintance with Master Huien, but I don't know if they are the same person."

"It's simple. You will be able to see Master Huien after the Chenshi lecture begins. Then, Ali will know whether Master Huien of Honghu Temple is the person you know."

Jiang Li nodded: "Let's go to Merlin first."

Xiao Heng tied the horse aside, followed Jiang Li into Honghu Temple, and headed straight for Meilin.

As soon as I arrived at the plum forest, I heard laughter coming from the front. Looking around, I saw plum blossoms on the white trees blooming, white as snow, pink as clouds, and red as gems. It was like a pink and white ocean floating in the spring, sparkling, dazzling and intoxicating.

Some of the petals are slightly open, like a shy girl who is hesitant to speak, while others are open unrestrainedly, like a hearty boy laughing heartily.

Jiang Li looked at the wonder in front of her with shining eyes, "Ah Heng, it's so beautiful here."

She walked into the woods with her skirt lifted, stopped in front of a plum tree, raised her head and gently sniffed the clusters of blooming flowers in front of her.

The girl is surrounded by a sea of ​​plum blossoms, her eyes sparkling with stars, a smile gently rippling on her lips, and her two dimples, one deep and one shallow, gently gathering the moonlight, making it impossible to look away.

Xiao Heng just stood there looking at her quietly, but he had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him.

In his opinion, no matter how beautiful the plum blossoms are, they are not half as pretty as a young girl.

From the moment she appeared in his sight, his eyes could no longer accommodate anything else. All he could see and his heart was the girl's pretty and gorgeous face, and her bright and enchanting laughter.

"Ah Heng, come here quickly."

Jiang Li waved her hand, Xiao Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked towards her, and ran towards his whole world without hesitation.

The two of them wandered around Merlin for nearly an hour before leaving. Xiao Heng brought Jiang Li to the Bodhi tree.

"I heard that this tree is very effective. Do you want to make a wish and give it a try, Ali?"

Xiao Heng glanced at the wish tablets hanging on the tree branches, then turned to look at Jiang Li beside him.

Jiang Li also looked at him and smiled: "Yes!"

The two came to the table with the wish tablet hanging on it, pulled down a wish tablet from the shelf, picked up the brush beside it and wrote down their wishes.

While paying attention to Jiang Li's movements, Xiao Heng covered the wish monument with his hand and wrote the two people's names on it.

After he finished writing, he straightened up pretending to be calm and hid the wish monument behind him, "I've finished writing."

Jiang Li blew on the ink on the wish monument and stood up. "I've also written it. What did you write?"

Xiao Heng said seriously, "If you speak out your wish, it won't work. Come, I'll help you hang it up."

Jiang Li handed him the wish tablet in her hand with a half-believing and half-doubting look. The next moment, Xiao Heng flew to the highest branch of the Bodhi tree and hung their wish tablets on it.

"Alright." He clapped his hands and looked at the two highest wish tablets with satisfaction, "Let's start making wishes."

Jiang Li clasped her hands together, raised them to her nose, closed her eyes and began to make a wish.

Xiao Heng followed her movements, closed his eyes and silently recited the two people's names. After reciting, he quietly narrowed his right eye and glanced at Jiang Li beside him...
