After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 229

Gu Ying's body suddenly tensed, her fingertips curled, and she lowered her long lashes.

Jiang Yin thought he had grasped her, moved closer again, wanting to take her into his arms, "Ying—"

Gu Ying raised her eyes, in a flash, neatly raised the dagger, taking advantage of his unwariness, and sent the blade into his body again.

There was a shallow, indifferent smile at the corner of her mouth, "What happened in the previous life of A Du is not important. What's important is that I want you to die. This life, I will protect A Du myself."

Jiang Yin laughed self-deprecatingly, "You protect him? How do you protect him?"

Gu Ying sneered coldly, "Do you think only you can seize the advantage?"

Jiang Yin knew what she was going to say, smiled lightly, "You are in the inner courtyard, everything you know came from my mouth. Ying, aren't you too naive? On February 28, 1623, there was an avalanche at Banmapo, and an earthquake occurred in Yueyang in early March. As for the epidemics that followed... "

Gu Ying's face changed. "What!"

Did she remember the wrong dates?

Jiang Yin pulled his mouth wide, laughing wildly, "After all, it had to be reported to the imperial court, at that time all the dates were after our discussion. The death toll from the natural disasters was more than ten times what you imagined."

Gu Ying shivered all over, angrily said, "Jiang Yin! Do you know that those were all human lives! You could have saved them!"

Jiang Yin smiled arrogantly, "Just some ants, why should I save them? Letting Zhao Changdu and the Qilin Army be buried in Yueyang is the greatest benevolence I can give him."

Gu Ying was furious, and slapped him hard.

"Slap!"

Gu Ying gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes filled with surging hatred, "If anything happens to him, I won't let you die in peace!"

The smile at the corner of Jiang Yin's mouth faded a little, looking at Gu Ying's exquisitely beautiful face against the light, his throat choked with bitter like gentian.

Gu Ying mercilessly pulled out the dagger again.

Blood spurted in front of her eyes, but she didn't even blink.

Just as she was about to stab the dagger into Jiang Yin's heart, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared and stopped her action.

The newcomer had extremely high martial arts skills, his figure was like smoke, instantly snatched away her dagger, and instead held it against her neck.

A strong murderous aura came face-to-face.

Jiang Yin, who was lying on the ground, called out hoarsely, "Han Lin! Stop!"

Han Lin?

Gu Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she soon let it go, after all, Jiang Yin had reincarnated, and it was normal for him to find his loyal servant Han Lin prematurely.

In Han Lin's moment of stunnedness, Gu Ying had already retreated from under his hand.

After reincarnation, she had been diligent in practicing martial arts, and under the teaching of the crown prince, her skills had improved a lot. Although she was no match for Han Lin's superb martial arts, it was still very easy for her to retreat from him completely unharmed.

She didn't linger, snatched back the dagger, turned and jumped onto the wall, and after a few leaps she left.

Jiang Yin lay on the ground, panting quickly for a while, covering the wound on his palm.

The big snow fluttered on his face, snowflakes clung to his thick long lashes, and his feelings of being close to death made his eyes dull.

He was full of sorrow, raised his eyes, looked blankly at her neat departing figure, and had countless thousands of words in his eyes but didn't know how to articulate them properly.

Ying, do you know that the one I always loved is you?

He didn't say this.

He just sneered self-deprecatingly, "I brought this on myself, I don't deserve to live."

After saying that, everything went dark before his eyes and he finally passed out.

......

On the other side.

Gu Ying returned to the bustling main street, with still wet blood staining her head.

Her footsteps faltered for a few steps as she thought of what Jiang Yin said, and her fingers holding the dagger trembled.

Her face was pale, her lips trembling.

After walking on the street in a daze for a while, many people saw the blood stains on her and talked about her while trying to avoid her as much as possible.

Not far away there was someone who had set up a ring toss game, 10 cents to toss 10 times.

The stone slab covered with felt cloth was placed with many cute little animals such as chickens, ducks and rabbits. The boss was a petite and cute girl with a brilliant smile. Her voice was as crisp and pleasing as pearls colliding when she talked.

"Come on and play, everyone! If you get 10 rings on target, you can get today's mystery grand prize!"

"Little girl, what exactly is the mystery grand prize? Give us a hint!"

"No, I'll naturally tell everyone when someone gets it!"

A huge redwood box stood at the side of the street, and no one knew what was inside.

Out of curiosity, a large group of people crowded noisily around it, surrounding the person playing ring toss game at the center.

The wind and snow were too strong, and it was extremely cold. The cold wave slapped people's faces like knives, stinging people's cheeks.

Gu Ying narrowed her eyes and looked ahead with difficulty.

The splendid and gorgeous lanterns shone as bright as daylight, illuminating the rows of people.

She saw Gu Shuang and Fu Xunzhi happily trying hard there for a little white rabbit.

Suddenly, the rabbit in the ring suddenly jumped out chaotically for some reason.

Once it got out of control, the other little animals followed suit.

It was a small business with little profit to begin with. Those little animals were perhaps the little girl's wealth for the entire year. The little girl was suddenly panicked and pleaded, "Please help me catch them! Thank you all!"

Gu Shuang was also anxious and pulled Fu Xunzhi's sleeve, "Xunzhi, hurry up and help the boss catch that rabbit! Hurry!"

Fu Xunzhi naturally agreed to her request and immediately rolled up his sleeves to catch the rabbit.

In the chaotic and noisy scene, Fu Xunzhi, holding the fidgety little white rabbit, accidentally bumped into the little girl holding the hen.

They held their foreheads, looking at each other in confusion, but also as if reunited after a long separation, smiling at each other.

The surroundings seemed to suddenly slow down tens of times. All the people and lanterns turned into a silent background.

As if pushing away the clouds and mist, Gu Ying could now clearly see the little girl's face.

Her face was like a silver plate, her lips slightly plump, her eyes were as black and bright as grapes, shimmering with cleverness.

It was her!

Shang Jiao!

Fu Xuzhi's wife in his previous life, the daughter of that ordinary merchant!

Gu Ying's breath hitched, it felt like a stone had suddenly dropped to the bottom of her heart.

How could they meet at this time!

Originally the two would have no intersection?

She suddenly thought of Jiang Yin who inexplicably appeared on the street today...

It was him... all was manipulated behind the scenes by him!

He knew too well what she wanted to get, so he deliberately shattered and destroyed them one by one.

He wanted her to continue to suffer, to still lose everything she wanted, he wanted her to collapse again, fall into the abyss again?

How could there be such a ridiculous thing in this world?

Why was the fate so unfair?

Gu Ying felt like laughing for a moment, then she felt five flavors mixed in her heart the next moment. Her consciousness seemed to be pulled away and she was extremely sad. Coupled with anger to the extreme, her stomach churned again.
