The king of Qin ruled for ten years.
The setting sun was like fresh blood that was slowly flowing out of a wound. Bit by bit, it dyed the vast sky blurry and treacherous. It was like the setting sun of Puyang in the past, swallowing the land under it and silencing the breath of life on the ground.
As the afterglow scattered down, the originally warm yellow color also appeared bleak and desolate. Liji's snow-white dress fluttered in the wind. She kept her head down, her eyes fixed on the lonely tombstone in front of her. This lone tomb was the resting place of her grandfather, but there was no remains of Gongsun Yu in it. This was built after she and Jing Ke settled down on Mount Tai.
What was placed in the tomb was only infinite sustenance and reminiscence.
Gongsun Yu was the beginning of Jing Ke and Li Ji's memories. Li Ji's childhood was different from that of ordinary children. She had the care of her parents and the company of her brothers and sisters.
She spent most of her childhood quietly accompanying her grandfather Gongsun Yu. The young Li Ji had silently imagined her father, who was as powerful and brave as her grandfather, and her mother, who was kind and gentle, which she rarely saw on her grandfather's face. The vague images gradually became clear in her mind. Although Gongsun Yu had always been protective of her, after years of being a commander on the battlefield, he had developed a natural habit. Even when he faced Li Ji, he could not help but have a little more dignity. This made Li Ji feel a little regretful. And Jing Ke, the senior brother who was similar to her in many ways, appeared in her quiet life at the right time, making her dull life have a different voice and unexpectedly lively.
Li Ji knew that her grandfather felt the same way. Jing Ke's appearance made their lives even better. She still remembered that when her grandfather had carefully entrusted her to Jing Ke, his grandfather had not said a word. He had only looked at Jing Ke deeply. She found that his silent expression revealed complete trust and pride.
At this moment, without her grandfather's company, she and Jing Ke knew how to cherish the days they spent together. Every minute and second was so precious. Although neither of them had said it out loud, they were very clear that they were irreplaceable and inseparable.
Jing Ke was not only her grandfather's greatest comfort in his life, but he would also be her support in the future. No matter how things would develop in the future, at least that was what Lizzie thought at the moment.
Linzi, the capital of Qi State.
In the grand hall of the Qi Palace, the fifty-year-old King Qi sat high on his throne, his deeply furrowed brows faintly revealing a restless anxiety. His deliberately straight and upright body intertwined to form an absurd and comical air of a king.
A middle-aged man in emissary attire was standing in the main hall. He was arrogant and exuded a fearless air. He was the emissary sent by the King of Qin. With Qin Wang's domineering order, his attitude did not seem ridiculous or funny at all.
If Qin Wangzheng wanted something, he had to get it. People said that he was like a devil.
Kings were divided into many types. Demon Kings belonged to one type of king, and they were much more powerful than Human Kings. A king called " Demon King " might not necessarily be a demon. It was very likely that he was a person. This was what made people really afraid. How could a perfectly fine person be regarded as a demon? Presumably, he was far more terrifying than anyone could imagine. People respected, feared, and flattered the King of Qin more than a demon, because humans and demons were two different worlds. The chaotic world was the world of humans. The King of Qin was a human, and the world of humans belonged to the King of Qin.
"The king has ordered that there must be no delay!" The emissary left a simple and powerful sentence, then swaggered away as if there was no one else around, just like the arrogant " style of a king."
The Demon King's demonic claws were so unbridled in this chaotic world.
Although Li Ji lived in seclusion with Jing Ke, she still attracted the attention of countless people when she was occasionally seen. Now, her beauty had spread far and wide in Qilu and shocked the world. She was a fairy in the mortal world that all the kings and marquises fought to get. The king of Qin, who considered himself the king of the world, was no exception.
The King of Qin wanted to capture Li Ji and had sent an envoy here to ask for it. If the King of Qi did not comply, the King of Qin would use this as an excuse. With a single order, the army would instantly press down on the border and topple the Kingdom of Qi.
The current situation of Qi Country could be said to be deep in suffering. The King of Qi knew that the Qi Kingdom's current weak strength was no match for the Qin Kingdom's growing army. Faced with this kind of bullying, King Qi, although also known as a king, could not resist the overbearing power of this devil king. In the end, he could only become a pitiful worm under the Demon Claw, humbly begging the Demon Claw for nutrients every day in order to survive.
King Qi had only one choice. He gave the order and asked for Li Ji with a large sum of money.
This " only " choice was undoubtedly a satisfactory thing for the Demon King of Chaos. To Qi Country, luck was a temporary strategy to protect the country. To Jing Ke and Li Ji, it was definitely a life and death disaster.
Jing Ke saw the notices posted everywhere. He did not hide it from Li Ji." There are posters everywhere in Qi looking for you.”
"Oh?" Li Ji said lightly. Is that so?" "You don't have to be afraid," Jing Ke said gently. I will do my best to protect you." The voice was gentle but powerful.
Lizzie smiled gently, showing her trust in him to repay his promise.
On this day, Jing Ke and Chang Chang strolled home together with Li Ji after finishing their sword practice by the river.
From afar, through the purple morning glory curtain on the fence, they saw the Qi soldiers who were searching and destroying the small courtyard.
The shiny weapons and the noisy noise scared the chickens and ducks they raised. Five or six soldiers gathered in their huts, stabbing and jumping around with weapons. At the door, a soldier was shouting at a middle-aged man with a sallow face,"You said that Li Ji is here. Where is she?”The man's face twisted as he said in a sorrowful voice,""They really live here. I don't dare to lie to you!”
A few soldiers in the room turned the entire ground upside down before coming out to report,""There's no one in the room, only some soft clothes.”
The informant was still begging with a bitter face," Official, I saw it with my own eyes, so I dare to report it…" The soldier waved his hand and pushed him out."If you can't find him, forget about the three hundred gold taels reward, you might lose your dog life!”Then, he waved his hand and ordered,"Search the surroundings for me. Don't let go of anyone suspicious!"”
Jing Ke did not hesitate. He pulled Li Ji and said,""Hurry up and leave!" He turned around and ran towards the riverbank.
Li Ji was tightly held by Jing Ke as they walked quickly in the grass. A sorrowful sound of the wind sounded in her ears. She followed Jing Ke's hurried footsteps without making a sound. Her hand was held tightly in that wide palm. Suddenly, she had an illusion, as if they were forced to temporarily escape Puyang four years ago, but when they turned around, they could never see the way back. The sudden illusion made her feel extremely uneasy. She was so scared, afraid that one day she would not be able to hold this hand, afraid that this strong and powerful hand would suddenly let go of her. Jing Ke seemed to be able to sense the uneasiness in her heart. He didn't say anything, but held her hand even tighter, hoping to pass on more warm feelings to her through his warm hand. It was as if this grip controlled their fate and gave Li Ji a safe promise, so that her heart would no longer be so uneasy.
The two of them were so close to each other. Their bodies were so close, and their hearts were even more so.
The tighter you hold on to something, the more afraid you are of losing it. The fear of losing it is because you know that you will lose it eventually.
On the shore, Jing Ke pulled out a simple wooden boat from the deep thatch and paddled up the Zishui River. Li Ji couldn't help but look back. The thatch where she had watched Jing Ke practice his swordsmanship every day was gradually gone. Their little cottage had long disappeared. The noise of the soldiers searching for them swept toward the shore like a wave...
On the steep mountain road, a middle-aged couple from the countryside with ordinary looks were hurrying west. After this dangerous road, it was the border of Zhao. There was a group of soldiers in front of them, about twenty to thirty of them, all of them holding halberds and laughing loudly.
The leading officer was tall and burly with a rough appearance. He turned around and said to the two officers behind him in a rough voice,"There are countless beauties in the world, but the King of Qin wants to find some Li Ji. The King has limited it to half a month.”
The couple from the countryside brushed past the soldiers. The last two young soldiers stared at their hands. One of them whispered," Strange, a country bumpkin actually has such fair and tender hands…" As he spoke, one of them actually walked over and reached out to touch the woman. The woman quickly pulled her hand back into her sleeve, but the soldier had already closed in on her.
The woman gritted her teeth and looked uneasy. The husband suddenly coughed as if he had choked on a mouthful of phlegm. He spat at the soldier who had extended his hand. The soldier was so disgusted that he quickly retracted his hand and dodged to the side. Suddenly, a hand reached for the woman's waist, slid down to her butt, and pinched her hard. A crisp and shy scream rang out.
This time, the entire troop of soldiers stopped and turned around. The officer with the surname Gao had already turned around and walked over. The young officer who had pinched the woman was still frightened. He stammered to the officer who was walking over,"She…I didn't expect this country bumpkin to have such a sharp and tender voice…"
The leader with the surname Gao stared at the woman like an eagle and suddenly shouted,"No! This person is in disguise!" He grabbed the woman's hair!
This country couple was Jing Ke and Li Ji in disguise.
Jing Ke saw that he had been seen through, so he grew taller and his eyes shone brightly. He raised his right hand and struck out with his palm. The body of the leader with the surname Gao immediately fell back like a ruined wall in the face of a storm, crushing the two soldiers behind him.
At that moment, everyone rushed over with their swords in hand. Before the leader surnamed Gao could get up, he had already shouted,"Catch him! All of you f * cking go, catch them!”Instantly, the narrow mountain path was filled with the light of swords and sabers. Seven to eight swords attacked the two of them at the same time, surrounding them.
At this point, Jing Ke and Li Ji had no choice but to draw out their hidden short swords and fight with the Qi soldiers.
How could that group of soldiers be Jing Ke's match? After a few moves, several of them had already been cut down. However, the mountain path was narrow. Although Jing Ke's swordsmanship was high, he could not break out of the encirclement for a while. The Qi army had many people, and as they charged forward, they separated Jing Ke and Li Ji and started to fight.
The leader surnamed Gao was not skilled in martial arts, but his eyes were not shallow. He could tell that Jing Ke's swordsmanship was first-class, while Li Ji's was just so-so. He shouted,"Everyone, greet that woman. Let's take her down first."
The soldiers shouted and attacked Li Ji.
After a while, Li Ji's breathing became rapid and she was overwhelmed. At this moment, a long sword came straight at her face. Li Ji turned her head slightly and felt a chill on her cheek. The sword's tip had just brushed past her cheek. Li Ji was shocked. She blocked the sword with one hand and touched her face with the other. It turned out that the sword had only scratched the human skin mask. Li Ji simply tore off the human skin mask, revealing her stunning face.
A thin and small Qi Bing was actually a little dazed by the sight. He shouted loudly,"Such a beauty! She might be the Liji that the king wanted!”When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all attacked with all their might.
Li Ji was caught in a tough battle. How could she fight against the fierce Qi soldiers? She retreated as she fought. Seeing that she had retreated to the side of the mountain road, the situation was precarious.
Jing Ke saw that Li Ji was in a dangerous situation. He immediately shook his short sword, and the sword aura was strong. He used the move of " Breaking Mountain and Breaking Cauldron ", and then the next move was like pear blossoms falling down rain. The sword was like a flower, stabbing at the vital points of the Qi soldiers surrounding him.
The Qi soldiers were struck by the sword and fell. Because King Qi's generous reward was in front of them, the soldiers behind them did not retreat. A few men relied on their brute strength to try to take Li Ji's credit, so they all attacked Li Ji fiercely.
After a short while, Li Ji's hands were already weak. Seeing that a Qi soldier was about to hit her with a halberd, Jing Ke leaped up and turned around in the air. His short sword flew out of his hand and hit the halberd. Ding! The halberd was sent flying. At the same time, Jing Ke lowered his body and landed on the ground. He turned around and kicked away the other two Qi soldiers. Then, he caught the short sword.
Li Ji was stunned by this scene. Jing Ke shouted,""Junior Sister, let's go!" He grabbed her small waist and used his lightness skill to quickly fly into the depths of the forest.
The Qi soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The sky was filled with chaotic clouds and torrential rain. The torrential rain had dampened the Qi soldiers 'enthusiasm for meritorious service, giving Jing Ke and Li Ji an excellent opportunity to escape.
Li Ji was held in Jing Ke's arms. She felt that her brother's arms were so strong and his embrace was so warm. Her heart was beating fast. The wind was blowing in his ears, and his body was wet from the rain. In the heavy rain, Li Ji's figure became more and more charming. Jing Ke could not help but feel his heart surging with emotions. Li Ji could smell a strong male scent, which made her face blush. She was confused and embarrassed. She was afraid that Jing Ke would find out, so she buried her head in his arms, hoping that this journey would never end. She only wished to stop at this moment and live forever.
The raindrops were dense, as if they were beating on their hearts.
Jing Ke finally stopped at the entrance of a cave. He panted slightly and said,""Li Ji, let's go into the cave and rest for a while before leaving!”Lizzie looked around and found that there were straw mats and firewood in the cave. Perhaps it was for the convenience of hunters in the mountains to avoid the wind and rain.
The dangerous situation just now had vanished, and the sudden intimate contact between their bodies made the man and woman unable to look at each other directly.
Liji covered her voluptuous breasts with both hands and gently bit her cherry lips."Senior Brother, this cave is dark and scary. I want you to carry me in.”
"You're already a big girl, yet you're still so timid?" Jing Ke laughed. Alright, then you rest here for a while. I'll go find some wild animals to satisfy my hunger.”
Jing Ke stepped into the cave. It was pitch black. He was about to put Li Ji on the straw mat, but Li Ji's delicate hand was wrapped around his neck. With the dim light coming in through the hole, he could vaguely see Li Ji's beautiful face as red as fire. She asked in a soft and urgent voice,"Shixiong, if you hadn't saved her, Liji would have died. Do you…do you like Liji?"
Although Jing Ke had lived with Li Ji for a long time and were very close to her, when he saw his junior sister looking at him so affectionately, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He quickly put Li Ji down, but Li Ji refused to let him go. Her wrists were still wrapped around Jing Ke's neck.
Jing Ke felt his muscular body pressed against Li Ji's curvy and beautiful body. Through the cold and wet clothes, he could feel the warm breath coming from Li Ji's chest. He could not help but say nervously,""Li Ji…I'm sure you know how my senior brother feels about you…It's just that we haven't taken our revenge yet…"
Li Ji gently covered Jing Ke's lips with her hand, not allowing him to continue speaking. She bowed slightly and smiled at Jing Ke. Her smile was as brilliant as spring flowers, dazzling people.
Jing Ke couldn't help but look down. Li Ji opened her red lips slightly to welcome him. Jing Ke was overwhelmed with emotions at this moment. He could not help but kiss her cherry lips that were as red as flower petals, her smooth and beautiful forehead, and her delicate and straight nose…
Li Ji quietly stared at Jing Ke. After so many years of facing away from her, he finally had the courage to look at her. She was inexplicably excited.
It turned out that love would not be forgotten or dispelled because of deliberate neglect. Instead, it became more intense and bone-deep.
The sky gradually brightened. The east was white, and the sky was filled with multicolored light.
On the mountain path, Jing Ke and Li Ji held hands and smiled at each other. What was different was that Jing Ke's smile was filled with affection. Li Ji's smile was filled with shyness.
Although the journey of escape was difficult and painful, it was full of joy and affection for Jing Ke and Li Ji. Because in this world, no matter what they faced, as long as two people could be together, there was heaven everywhere.
The raindrops were dense, as if they were beating on their hearts.
Jing Ke finally stopped at the entrance of a cave. He panted slightly and said,""Li Ji, let's go into the cave and rest for a while before leaving!”Lizzie looked around and found that there were straw mats and firewood in the cave. Perhaps it was for the convenience of hunters in the mountains to avoid the wind and rain.

Although Jing Ke had lived with Li Ji for a long time and were very close to her, when he saw his junior sister looking at him so affectionately, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He quickly put Li Ji down, but Li Ji refused to let him go. Her wrists were still wrapped around Jing Ke's neck.
Jing Ke felt his muscular body pressed against Li Ji's curvy and beautiful body. Through the cold and wet clothes, he could feel the warm breath coming from Li Ji's chest.

Jing Ke couldn't help but look down. Li Ji opened her red lips slightly to welcome him. Jing Ke was overwhelmed with emotions at this moment. He could not help but kiss her cherry lips that were as red as flower petals, her smooth and beautiful forehead, and her delicate and straight nose…
Jing Ke wasn't a man of wood and stone, but he could feel how easy Li Ji was and even feel the desire in his body. Sometimes, he would practice his sword day and night, desperately training his body just to suppress and dispel the lust that he did not dare to face.
At this moment, they finally faced the intense feelings in each other's hearts calmly. Jing Ke, however, only gently kissed Li Ji's face and did not dare to act rashly.
Her body was stiff as if it was bound by thousands of shackles.
In Li Ji's heart, the thought of revenge was never as important as her life with Jing Ke. She had long been in love with Jing Ke. She had only imagined this situation in her dreams at midnight. She did not expect it to come unexpectedly in this quiet cave.
Her heart was beating wildly, but her will was firm. Under Jing Ke's gentle kiss, she gently took off the clothes that separated her and Jing Ke, and hugged him tightly.
Jing Ke's heart shook, and his body trembled slightly. At the same time, he felt the wonderful touch of Li Ji's warm and soft breasts on his chest. His will told him to leave, and his body involuntarily hugged Li Ji and fell on the straw mat.
For the first time in his life, he realized that he was not only Gongsun Yu's disciple and Li Ji's senior brother, but also a man.
A man with feelings and desires.
He realized that his desire for Lizzie was no less than his determination to avenge her.
He was at a loss. He subconsciously groped for Li Ji's gentle body and gave in.
Li Ji was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, as if she was in a dream. However, she did not hesitate, because this dream had been woven for a long time, and she was also familiar with it. How many times had she dreamed of this day? Yes, she wanted to give everything that she had treasured for eighteen years, the most precious thing for a young girl, to this man who had gone through thick and thin with her.
It was at that moment that the fear of the unknown made her throw away her young girl's reservedness and shyness. She took the initiative to express to Jing Ke how much she was willing to become one with him and be his wife.
Jing Ke's reaction proved his love for her. The great happiness that she had been waiting for had suddenly arrived. For a moment, she was intoxicated and slightly at a loss. She handed everything over to Jing Ke…
In her confusion, Lizzie felt a trace of pain. The tearing pain made her let out a short and low cry.
"Ah!"
Jing Ke held Li Ji in his arms lovingly. Li Ji had never thought that this rough-looking Senior Brother was so affectionate and delicate. She snuggled in Jing Ke's warm embrace. She was so happy that tears streamed down her face because she had finally become Jing Ke's woman.
Jing Ke looked at Li Ji and found that her body, which should have been unfamiliar, was so familiar. Li Ji, who had been polite to him all these years and did not even dare to look at him, had already described him thousands of times in his heart and left a deep impression on him.
Li Ji quietly stared at Jing Ke. After so many years of facing away from her, he finally had the courage to look at her. She was inexplicably excited.
It turned out that love would not be forgotten or dispelled because of deliberate neglect. Instead, it became more intense and bone-deep.
The sky gradually brightened. The east was white, and the sky was filled with multicolored light.
On the mountain path, Jing Ke and Li Ji held hands and smiled at each other. What was different was that Jing Ke's smile was filled with affection. Li Ji's smile was filled with shyness.
Although the journey of escape was difficult and painful, it was full of joy and affection for Jing Ke and Li Ji. Because in this world, no matter what they faced, as long as two people could be together, there was heaven everywhere.
