Chapter 500 Meeting
"Miss Jiang Si!" An irregular panting sound came from behind.

The girl's stiff body moved, turned her head, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Ji Chongyan hugged the girl in his arms tightly. He looked at the girl in front of him, knowing that he was showing his emotions at this moment, but right now he felt a blunt pain in his chest. The moment he saw the girl stretching out her hand to support the city wall, his heart felt like a sudden Being held tightly by someone, it seems that the girl will jump over the city wall and fall down the city gate in the next moment.That moment was almost instinctive, he stepped forward and hugged her violently, trying to stop her from jumping off.

The city gate is not high, but it is enough for a person who wants to die.

The girl's usually aura-filled eyes were full of daze and daze, as if she was entangled in some nightmare, trapped in it and unable to extricate herself.

"Don't get so close!" The panting voice from behind was filled with anxiety, "It's dangerous."

Ji Chongyan didn't know what he was talking about, and what he said at this moment was completely instinctive.

The girl blinked her eyes, the dazedness and daze in her eyes receded, and she regained her usual aura.

She lowered her eyes to look at herself who was tightly held in his arms at this time, and then raised her hand to look at it, as if recalling what she had just done.

After a long pause, the girl looked at him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my son, I'm just curious."

Of course, this sentence does not have any convincing force. The girl paused, and she didn't mind teasing herself at all: "I can't get over it now, so don't worry!"

Although this statement is suspected of being self-deprecating, it is also true.

If you want to cross over with one hand, you can do it in your previous life, but with your body shape in this life, you really can't do it with one hand.

So, this is probably considered...the benefits of being fat?Jiang Shaoyan thought.

He made fun of the girl with a smile on his face, but Ji Chongyan behind him didn't show any smile on his face. He looked at her without moving his gaze away for a moment, but fixedly looked at her and said, "I can hug you even when you are so heavy. !"

Facing those bright eyes, Jiang Shaoyan paused for a moment, lowered her eyelids again, looked over the city wall and looked down at the overgrown weeds below, after a moment's pause, she spoke in a soft voice: "My lord, I regret my life very much, I won't do it." Stupid!"

The events of the previous life have passed, and now it is Da Zhou, not Da Jing, and she is not the same Miss Jiang who just muddled through and faced the world with a playful attitude in her previous life.She is now Jiang Shaoyan, Miss Jiang Si of the Fourth House of Dongping Bofu.

Jiang Shaoyan took a deep breath, stood up, and didn't let go of her hug behind her for a moment, but she let go the next moment.

The emotions on Ji Chongyan's face had faded at this time, he walked to the girl, followed her gaze to look at the weeds growing under the city wall, paused, and said: "That Miss Jiang was in the The city gate that jumped down here..."

Jiang Shaoyan let out a "hmm", of course no one knew what happened better than her.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chongyan paused for a moment, and said again: "In the past 20 years, this place has been inaccessible, but many people have jumped from here to the city gate and died one after another..."

Jiang Shaoyan: "..."

I don't know why, but when I said this, I always felt that things became weird and strange.

Ji Chongyan took a look at her, and said again: "A wandering Taoist priest said that Miss Jiang died with regret, so he pestered passers-by to jump the city gate with her."

Jiang Shaoyan: "..." Don't talk nonsense!She really didn't!That wandering Taoist priest is probably a liar.

As Ji Chongyan said, he squatted down and picked up a piece of faded paper money with round holes at his feet, and showed it to Jiang Shaoyan: "There are a lot of wandering Taoist priests and masters who do it here, but there are still people who come here to jump into the city. Door."

Jiang Shaoyan: "..." She really didn't do it.

Ji Chongyan held the paper money with round holes and said again: "Miss Jiang Si, you are like that just now... I am really scared."

Fear?Are you afraid that she will be entangled by Miss Jiang and jump over the city gate?

Jiang Shaoyan did not expect that Ms. Jiang, who has been in her life for a lifetime, would add such a big "contribution" to the supernatural and mysterious novels in the market.

"I didn't want to jump the city gate." Although she didn't hope that a few words could explain the matter, Jiang Shaoyan still tried to explain, "Then Miss Jiang didn't ask me to jump the city gate, I just want to see."

Ji Chongyan said "Yes", and faced the girl who was eager to explain seriously, he paused for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What I said just now was just a joke, and the theory of ghosts and gods is nonsense."

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: Ji Chongyan rarely joked with her like this, she just took it seriously.

However, it is not necessarily true that these rumors are jokes, because they were not compiled by Ji Chongyan himself.

"Miss Jiang's rumors of pestering people to jump the city gate are indeed rumors, but Lin Yan checked those who jumped the city gate, and they all had the idea of ​​committing suicide before they came to Yongding Gate." Ji Chongyan settled his expression and explained. "Some of them were guarded by family members or they ran out to commit suicide because they were afraid of scaring their families. But suicide is nothing more than jumping into rivers, cliffs and buildings, jumping into rivers... There are patrolling soldiers on both sides of the moat, not to mention jumping into rivers, then Getting close is also a difficult task. Jumping off a cliff... most of the time you can't even find a dead body, even those who commit suicide don't like to have no bones left. If you seek death on the attic of your own house, there may be rumors of a 'ghost house' in the future, so Yongding Gate, which is unattended and rarely visited by people, has become the best choice."

Therefore, it was not Miss Jiang who was pestering people to jump the city gate, but the Yongding Gate, which was unattended and guarded, and was chosen as a place to commit suicide.

It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Shaoyan smiled, and said lightly: "That's good!"

Even though Ms. Jiang was already in her previous life, she didn't want to be the evil ghost haunting people to death in the supernatural and mysterious stories.

After going up and down the Yongding City Gate, the two fed horses had already walked down the city gate to look for them.

Jiang Shaoyan got into the carriage and opened the curtain to show Ji Chongyan the way.

"Go straight along the official road here at Yongdingmen, and turn left at the end of the river..."

Ji Chongyan responded, raised his whip and drove the carriage to follow her direction.

There were several turns and turns, all of which were small roads, and almost no pedestrians were encountered along the way. When I finally came out from a small path next to a study, the Furong Garden was already close at hand.

Looking at the Furong Garden that was close at hand, Ji Chongyan turned his head to look at Jiang Shaoyan in the carriage: "Speaking of which, I also grew up in the capital, but when it comes to my familiarity with the alleyways of the capital, I am really a real person compared to Miss Jiang Si." Humbled."

The Fourth Miss Jiang behind him...or it can be said that the Fourth Miss Jiang he likes is definitely not the Fourth Miss Jiang before.He can be sure of that.

At first, he thought that this Fourth Miss Jiang was just a person whose appearance was similar to the original Fourth Miss Jiang... But this guess was quickly overturned.

It is not an easy task to replace the original Fourth Miss Jiang, not to mention her face, but her figure, as soon as she appears, people will immediately remember her.If a person with the same figure as Miss Jiang Si appeared around Miss Jiang Si, even a maid like Xiangli who didn't think too much would think it strange.

Miss Jiang Si herself does not have the favorable conditions to be replaced.

And people like Xiangli and Xiaowu almost grew up with Miss Jiang Si since they were young. Even though Xiangli doesn't think much about it, she should be familiar with her own lady's body, such as birthmarks and moles on her body. Something that can be identified is easy to find something wrong, but looking at Xiangli's appearance, it seems that she has never noticed anything wrong.

As a result, a weird but explainable conjecture came to mind.

This body still belongs to Miss Jiang Si.

Since it is Miss Jiang Si, why is it completely different from the previous one?Ji Chongyan quickly thought of a guess: twin soul disease.

This kind of double-soul syndrome may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but because he has been friends with people in Dali Temple these years, he has also heard of the symptoms of double-soul disease. Symptoms seem to be able to explain it.

The original talented Miss Jiang Si who liked to compose poems but was innocent because of Ji Chonghuan's incident had disappeared. He heard that Miss Jiang Si tried to commit suicide when she was expelled from Beijing last year.According to the cases he had seen in Dali Temple, some of the weaker "souls" of those with double soul disease would die due to drastic changes, such as falling off a cliff or committing suicide.

Miss Jiang Si's performance really perfectly matched this explanation.

The naive Fourth Miss Jiang who liked to compose poems and lyrics died, and the remaining Fourth Miss Jiang was the one he liked with "extraordinary temperament and resolute character".

This explanation could still be explained until he returned to Chang'an, and he always thought so.

But... After returning to Chang'an, he was a little uncertain again.

Although her temperament is completely different from that frail and talented girl in front of her, the two souls share a body, and the titles of father and father in front of Jiang's house can still be explained, because she is not used to it.But to know the alleyways of the capital so well, one must often walk around the capital to do so.

It is said that Miss Jiang Si's body rarely goes out because of her low self-esteem due to her unusual body shape. If so, how can she know so much about the alleyways of the capital?If you go out secretly at night... Ji Chongyan doesn't think that a weak woman who doesn't understand martial arts will go out secretly at night by herself, and she can also take small paths.Even if Fourth Miss Jiang boldly left as a true artist, her figure would definitely be seen by others.

Just a little thought about these questions will reveal that they are contradictory and unreasonable.

Jiang Shaoyan glanced at the thoughtful Ji Chongyan and didn't say anything: Too many words are too many mistakes. She knows what Ji Chongyan meant. Ji Chongyan is not as big-hearted as Xiangli, and his actions will definitely arouse his suspicion.

But if she really wants to be the original owner following the original owner's principle of "rarely going out" and "naive and ignorant of world affairs", many things she has to do will be too restrained.

The explanation of twin soul disease can explain most of the situation, but she is not prepared to explain the details that still make Ji Chongyan suspicious. If it is impossible, he can use going out at night as a prevarication. He will doubt it, but there will be no concrete evidence.

Jiang Shaoyan doesn't mind his suspicion either, most of the things she will do next should not have much overlap with him.

It was really not surprising to get the explanation that the girl sneaked out at night, Ji Chongyan didn't ask any more questions, but just drove the carriage to the open space at the entrance of Furong Garden.

Today, the king of Huaishan County held a banquet, and the people who came and went were either rich or expensive.Now the banquet is already in the middle of the banquet, and the guests, as well as the master of the Ministry of Industry who came to find fault, have already arrived, and it is said that no one will come.

Standing at the gate of the Furong Garden in case of unexpected guests, the steward of the county prince's mansion saw an inconspicuous carriage approaching from a distance, and immediately frowned and led the two of them to the middle of the road to block the carriage.

"Today, the Furong Garden is taken over by the Huaishan County King. The carriages on the way to the end are full, and there is no place to stop. You can find another place..."

Before he finished speaking, the deliberately lowered bamboo hat was lifted up, and a picture-like face suddenly appeared in sight.

This face is really unforgettable... The officer in charge of the county prince's mansion immediately changed his face, and recognized the person: "Senior Ji!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said, "I'm going to report to the county prince now!"

"It's me!" Ji Chongyan nodded, and said with the bamboo hat that didn't match his temperament, "There's no need to report, I just want to find someone."

The steward of the county prince's mansion immediately said "oh" when he heard the words, and leaned over respectfully and asked, "Who is the prince looking for?"

"Uncle Dongping Jiang Zhao," Ji Chongyan said, "he works in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Today, many adults in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry heard that they have come to Furong Garden. Go in and find Uncle Dongping Jiang Zhao and tell him that Miss Jiang Si has something urgent. Wait for him outside!"

When he spoke, the curtain of the carriage behind him moved slightly. Although the steward of the county palace knew to keep his eyes open, he couldn't help being curious.

There should be someone in the carriage behind Shizi Ji, and I don't know who has such a big face that he can make this noble nephew of the emperor drive the carriage and become a "driver".

Now hearing "Miss Jiang Si", the steward of the county palace couldn't help but be puzzled: Well, who is Miss Jiang Si?What is the relationship with Bo Jiangzhao of Dongping?Among the dignitaries surnamed Jiang in the capital, Uncle Dongping is the biggest, but let alone Miss Jiang Si, even Uncle Dongping's father doesn't have that much face!
It's just that although he was curious in his heart, the steward of the county palace still left in response.

Uncle Dongping, Jiang Zhao, held down a few guests during the banquet to ask questions with several officials from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. The steward walked over, thinking that he would have to explain. Name to remind Uncle Dongping or something...

But none of these imaginary things happened. Upon hearing the name of "Miss Jiang Si", Uncle Dongping was both surprised and delighted: "My Ayan is back? Why didn't she say anything to my father when she came back?"

The steward of the county prince's mansion let out an "oh" in his heart, and he finally knew who this Fourth Miss Jiang was. It wasn't Uncle Dongping's father, on the contrary, Uncle Dongping was her father.

But no matter who the father is, the name "Miss Jiang Si" is obviously very useful. As soon as he said it, Uncle Dong Ping didn't need him to remind him, and immediately told a few colleagues around him to ask someone to help him sue him, saying "His family Yan" is back.

Facing Uncle Dong Ping with a happy face, several adults in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry seemed to take it for granted, and immediately waved him to go back to see "his Ayan".

Nothing could stop Uncle Dongping who was "anxious to see a girl", the steward of the county palace trotted all the way out of the Furong Garden behind Jiang Zhao, and saw Uncle Dongping rushing towards the carriage.

"Ayan!"

With a sound of "Ayan", the curtain of the car was lifted, and the "Miss Jiang Si", who had been curious for a long time by the steward of the county prince's mansion, finally revealed her true face.

　The dungeon of Chang'an and the dungeon of Jiangnan Dao are quite different. Jiangnan Dao is just an introduction, and many things will be completely resolved in the dungeon of Chang'an.

　　After all, it begins in Chang'an and ends in Chang'an!
