Chapter 13: A Beauty That Could Destroy a Country
"You…" Jing Ke looked at Ji Ru Changfeng in shock. The sword in his hand had fallen to the snow.
Ji Ruchangfeng coughed out a mouthful of dirty blood slightly. He reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth. He smiled faintly and said,"I really can't find a reason to kill a righteous hero who saves lives and heals the wounded.”
"But why are you doing this?”Jing Ke's face was full of melancholy, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Ji Ru Changfeng shook his head slightly and explained,""Brother Jing Ke, you don't have to feel guilty. If you don't do this, I'm afraid I'll have some trouble, and I hate these troubles. Great Qin's spies are spread throughout the seven kingdoms, and I've accepted the mission to assassinate you. As such, it's either you die or I live. However, if I'm injured by you,"
As he said that, Ji Ru Changfeng could not help but reveal a smile that made one think deeply.
"You mean…" Jing Ke suddenly understood. He laughed and said," Brother Changfeng, you've deceived me so hard. You've made me misunderstand you. I'm really too ashamed to face anyone."”
"Hehe, Brother Jing Ke, don't act like a little girl. Only when I'm injured can I hide from Great Qin's eyes and ears, so I won't have any trouble.”Ji Ruchangfeng looked at the guilty Jing Ke and could not help but comfort him.
"Brother Changfeng, I have a question. Is it convenient?”Jing Ke hesitated for a while and finally asked Ji Ru Changfeng.
Ji Ruchangfeng looked at Jing Ke in surprise and nodded slightly.""Brother Jing Ke, if you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know.”
"It's like this. I'm just a little curious as to why Brother Eternal Wind didn't seem to be seriously injured after taking my Five Steps Kill.”As Jing Ke spoke, he looked at Ji Ruchangfeng's abdomen with confusion.
Ji Ruchangfeng naturally couldn't tell Jing Ke that his body was invulnerable to weapons and poisons. He could only pretend to smile bitterly and say,""I've cultivated a body refining technique and have already reached the stage where it's difficult for knives and spears to penetrate. Although I didn't suffer any injuries on the outside after taking Brother Jing Ke's attack, my inner strength was injured.”
"I see. I'm really sorry. Brother Changfeng, why don't I help you dissolve the inner strength in your body? It will take you at least two days to clear it yourself, but with my help, it will probably take less than a day to resolve the internal problem.”Jing Ke felt a little ashamed, so he volunteered to help Ji Ruchang Feng remove his inner strength.
When Ji Ruchangfeng heard Jing Ke's words, he was a little gratified, but he still shook his head and refused."Brother Jing Ke, you still have important matters to attend to. If you don't go to the State of Qin, I'm afraid that Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu will be killed."
"This…" Jing Ke patted his head and thought that he was too muddle-headed. However, looking at Ji Ru Changfeng, his expression was a little uncertain and it was difficult for him to make up his mind.
Ji Ruchangfeng didn't want Jing Ke to be embarrassed, so he suggested,""Brother Jing Ke, why don't you go to the State of Qin first? I know my own injuries. It's fine with me. It's just spending a little more time.”
After Jing Ke heard Ji Ru Changfeng's words, his expression became even more ashamed. He could not help but bow deeply and said,""Brother Changfeng, I'm not as good as you. I'll never forget this kindness!”
Ji Ruchangfeng accepted Jing Ke's gift impolitely and said,""Brother Jing Ke, take care on this trip. I hope we can meet again to drink and sing.”
"Alright, thanks for Brother Changfeng's good words, farewell!”
Ji Ruchangfeng watched Jing Ke's back until it was far away.
"Pfft." Ji Ruchangfeng coughed out a mouthful of pus and blood when he saw Jing Ke walk away. He smiled bitterly and said,""Looks like I have to find a place to heal my injuries. This place is less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Yan Country, Ji City. I don't know if I can reach it in my current condition.”
-------------
The distance of a hundred miles was only a quarter of an hour (fifteen minutes) for Ji Ruchang Feng at his peak. However, he had suffered internal injuries now, and the true qi in his body was in a mess. Not only did his speed decrease significantly, but he was also constantly injured by Jing Ke's sword qi in his body.
While he was still in a state of lingering fear, his body suddenly trembled and his body was empty. Ji Ruchang Feng's heart had finished screaming, and his entire tiger body involuntarily fell to the ground heavily. He only felt a shock beside his ear. Under the impact of his internal injuries and the ground, his internal organs seemed to have twisted in a circle. His vision went black, and he fainted.
After an unknown period of time, Ji Ruchangfeng gradually regained consciousness. Then, he felt pain all over his body and slowly opened his eyes.
The candlelight in the room was green, and the furnishings were exquisite and dazzling. There were bamboo slips of poetry, books, and classics. There were many bamboo and jade utensils on the table, all of which were ancient musical instruments. A large mountain ink painting hung on the wall. A bronze mirror was placed in front of the south corner window. There was also a bright moon 'jade' comb and rouge 'flower' powder. It seemed to be a boudoir of a 'woman'.
Ji Ruchangfeng smelled the faint fragrance of orchid flowers in the room. Then, he lifted the light red silk blanket to the side and sat up. He realized that his head and the side of his small leg were wrapped in bandages, and he was in pain.
He gently lifted his injured right leg and examined it carefully. It turned out to be only a slight fracture. He couldn't help but praise himself for his good luck and let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he vaguely heard the melodious sound of the zither. It was elegant and quiet, and the artistic conception was beautiful. It mixed with the moonlight and returned to the quiet valley.
The melody was smooth and gentle, like the flowing water in the mountains between the waterfalls, the wild geese falling on the sand in the desert, and the fresh white snow in the spring. The melody was not limited by any known music or cliché, but it was almost like the spiritual qi in the world poured into the strings, producing a divine melody.
Ji Ruchangfeng often played the piano, violin, and drums in his previous life, but he had never played in an ancient music workshop. He had only read some records about this in archaeological books.
In terms of aesthetics, the zither music could be summarized as thirteen images: Male, sudden, urgent, bright, charming, strange, wide, cut, clear, light, harmonious, calm, slow, music thought can be summarized as happy, affectionate, lofty, spacious, art, sage, immortal seven categories.
Cai Yong of the Han Dynasty wrote in his book, Qin Cao: Since ancient times, the zither has been used as an instrument to symbolize morality. It is used to cultivate one's 'nature' and change customs, thus [connecting the virtues of the gods and combining the harmony of heaven and earth.]
Ji Ru Changfeng was attracted by the zither music and was curious. He helped the 'Chuang' to stand up and limped out of the bamboo house. He looked into the distance and saw a 'female' dressed in a plain white dress sitting gracefully under the bamboo pavilion under the moonlight. Her smooth and snow-white hands danced on the zither like a pair of beautiful white butterflies.
A gentle breeze blew her white dress and her long white hair fluttered in the wind. She was like a fairy, elegant and refined.
Ji Ruchangfeng took a few steps forward and looked at her from the side. The beautiful woman had beautiful contours and skin that was as fair as jade. Her bright eyes looked beautiful under her slender eyebrows that were curved like willow leaves. When her red lips opened, her pear nests naturally appeared on her cheeks, and her long and beautiful neck was even more seductive.
Ji Ruchangfeng's mind went blank. He could not believe that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. She was quiet and elegant, as elegant as a fairy in the sky. He could not help but think of a poem and blurted out,"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. A glance can topple a city, and a second glance can topple a country. Don't you know that it can topple a country and a city? It's hard to find a beauty again."
