Chapter 32: The Capture of the Assassins
The bright moon hung high, looking at the entire Dihao Continent with an unchanged attitude for ten thousand years, and the two figures rushed towards the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing one after the other, among which the fat figure seemed to be a little faster, holding a long sword full of golden aura in his right hand, chasing a black figure not far ahead. From time to time, Yu Chi Zhongming raised his sword and knocked away the short black dagger shot by the black shadow, the black dagger was as fast as lightning, as if it had been integrated into this black night, and it was impossible to distinguish it with ordinary eyes, but Yu Chi Zhongming could accurately knock every black dagger shot out of the black shadow away, and even his body shape was not affected in any way. The black shadow sneaked into a dense forest, and Yu Chi Zhongming followed him into it, but he didn't find the trace of the black shadow, Yu Chi Zhongming raised his perception to the limit, and carefully probed the place where the black shadow might be lurking.
A quarter of an hour passed, but Yu Chi Zhongming still did not find the hiding place of the black shadow, only heard the sound of a large group of people riding rapidly outside, Yu Chi Zhongming walked out of the dense forest, but did not relax the slightest vigilance, still paid attention to the abnormal movements in the dense forest, and came to the outside of the dense forest, but it was the forbidden soldiers who followed the special mark left by Yu Chi Zhongming to pursue here. The leader turned over and got off his mount, and came to Yu Chi Zhongming's side to wait for dispatch, and Wei Chi Zhongming then ordered the commander of the forbidden army to let him surround the dense forest first, and then enter the dense forest to conduct a carpet search, and everyone obeyed the order to go.
Wei Chi Zhongming didn't dare to relax his vigilance for a moment, there were no clues at all in the past few days, and he was finally discovered by himself today, and the traces at this moment could not be easily let go no matter what, and he called the commander and asked, "What is the situation in the Jia Mansion?"
The commander saluted and replied: "Commander, Lord Jia was stabbed to death in the study, and there is the body of a child at the door of the study, both of them were killed in one blow, and the same wound of the official who was stabbed to death a few days ago is a short black dagger in the center of the eyebrow. β
Wei Chi Zhongming frowned and asked, "Who is that child?" The commander replied: "It has been ascertained that it is Jia Quanyu, the only son of Lord Jia, and we heard the slight cry of the child, which should have been made by this child, but for some reason it became the target of the assassins." β
Wei Chi Zhongming listened to the commander of the thousand years after talking about the situation at the scene, frowned and thought about it and guessed: "It should be that after this assassin succeeded, he happened to be inadvertently broken by this kid, I was afraid that the kid would alarm the forbidden army patrol team, and I was afraid that it would be too late to retreat, so I simply killed him, but I was still shouted out by the kid, although it was slight, it was also our luck, and we happened to pass by." β
The commander nodded, looking at the distribution of corpses at the scene, this is the only reasonable explanation, the son went to find his father late at night, it was a common thing, but he didn't expect that both father and son died. Listening to Lieutenant Chi Zhongming's order to remove the soldiers who were guarding the siege, the rest of the people went into the dense forest to search for the assassin, and for a while the lights in the dense forest were bright, as bright as day, but still no trace of the assassin was found.
Suddenly, a famous soldier rushed to report: "Commander, one of our soldiers has been knocked unconscious. Yu Chi Zhongming hurriedly rushed to the place that the soldier said, the commander had arrived here before him, and was checking the soldier, only to see that the soldier was only wearing an underwear, and the outer armor had been removed, the breath was weak, and there was no injury on his body, Yu Chi Zhongming saw this situation, guessing that the assassin had disguised himself as his own person, blended into it and left this dense forest, at this time, the soldiers guarding outside the forest had a warning sound, Yu Chi Zhongming immediately rushed over, and saw that several soldiers outside the forest guarding the direction of the mountain also fell into a coma, and saw that the fainted posture and the last look on his face were caught off guardγ Those unconscious soldiers were made some simple concealment and camouflage, and Wei Chi Zhongming saw that these soldiers were just unconscious, and couldn't help but be a little curious about whether this assassin really took money to kill people. Calculating the time, it seemed that it had been some time since the Assassin had left. But Wei Chi Zhongming still didn't plan to give up, observed the surrounding terrain, looked at the direction of Longshou Ridge, thought for a while, and led all the soldiers straight to the direction of Longshou Ridge.
At the foot of Longshouling Mountain, Fengluo Manor was quiet, and a black shadow climbed over the wall and entered, it was the assassin that Yu Chi Zhongming was pursuing. After the assassin landed, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, the courtyard was extremely empty, and some strange-shaped equipment was placed in the courtyard, and there was a room opposite with lights on, and there was a faint sound of a childish reading, and carefully discerned what the voice was reading...... Therefore, the three armies can win the spirit, and the general can win the heart. It's so vigorous and vigorous, and the day is lazy ......" The assassin slapped Wei Chi Zhongming, although he avoided the vital place, but the golden sharp aura still invaded the body, plus just stood out from the siege, it was already impossible to suppress the violent aura that invaded the body, and he urgently needed to find a safe place to recuperate, the assassin's ears moved, and he heard the sound of a large group of people approaching, and then the knock on the door sounded, the assassin secretly thought that the imperial city forbidden army did not go straight to this remote and secluded mountain villa, it seems that the identity of the people who live here is extraordinary. I only heard the dead fat man who had been chasing him tonight respectfully asked, "Has Her Royal Highness the eldest princess rested?" Before the servant who opened the door could speak, a female voice came into the assassin's ears, and he only heard: "Fat man, why are you bringing so many people here this big night?"
Wei Chi Zhongming looked embarrassed but helpless, he could only hint with his eyes that Zhao Qin'er should not call him a nickname, after all, there were still many subordinates, then Zhao Qin'er looked at the forbidden soldiers who were holding the staff with open fire, called Yu Chi Zhongming aside and asked, "What happened, is it worth making such a big move?" Yu Chi Zhongming recounted the events that happened in Kyoto in the past half a month to Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Qin'er only heard that an assassin was coming here, and he might have sneaked into the manor, and he couldn't care about Yu Chi Zhongming anymore, like a gust of wind passing by, he instantly appeared in Jiang Chen's courtyard, let go of his consciousness, and carefully perceived it, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and the place where the assassin had stayed just now was already empty.
Zhao Qin'er was still not at ease and pushed Jiang Chen's room open, Jiang Chen was sitting at the desk reading the book "The Way of Performing Soldiers", and saw his mother pushing the door in, a little curious that his mother came to his room so late, and was about to ask his mother why she came, but she heard her mother suddenly shout: "Come out." Before Jiang Chen could react, a black shadow had already attacked him, Zhao Qin'er's body was a little faster, and before the black shadow attacked Jiang Chen, it had already appeared in front of Jiang Chen, the purple gold aura instantly covered his body, his hands danced like lightning, and the purple-gold aura gushed out from his fingers, with a finger of the illusion that Zhao Qin'er had built in an instant, pointing at the eyebrows of the black shadow. The man in black raised a narrow dagger and pointed a finger at Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Qin'er was not afraid at all, that finger met the dagger with a cold light with an indomitable momentum, and when the dagger was about to be touched, the purple-gold aura seemed to break through the constraints of space and went straight into the assassin's eyebrows, the assassin's eyes were still surprised, but it was too late to make any changes, his body suddenly froze, and he still maintained the movement of the dagger stabbing forward. Seeing that his eyes had turned blood-red, and his body was struggling violently, as if he wanted to get rid of something, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but sigh that this assassin's willpower was so amazing, but she was more confident in herself.
All this happened between lightning and flint, when Wei Chi Zhongming arrived, the assassin had been subdued by Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Qin'er pulled off the assassin's mask, and looked at the assassin's face carefully, there was no characteristic, ordinary, if walking on the road, no one would notice the existence of this kind of person. I also observed the dagger held by the assassin, the shape was like a crescent moon, the whole body was black, and there was a trace of poison between the flickering of cold light, and the black aura attached to this dagger was actually poisonous. Zhao Qin'er didn't know what to think, and looked at Yu Chi Zhongming who rushed over, Yu Chi Zhongming had already guessed what she was going to ask, nodded, and gave him a positive answer.
Yu Chi Zhongming stepped forward, stretched out two fingers attached to the golden aura, and as fast as lightning, it was blocked by various key points on the assassin's body, and then knocked the assassin who was still trapped in the illusion unconscious, beckoned the soldiers to tie him up with a spirit rope, and took him out of the manor, and instructed them to return to the city secretly immediately, interrogate them overnight, and ask how many assassins the Dark Moon Tower had sent this time. As for how to force these things to be asked, Wei Chi Zhongming is not very good, the Criminal Department has full-time inquiring personnel, and the methods are even more bizarre, I believe that this assassin will be pried open even if he is a stubborn iron.
Zhao Qin'er saw that Yu Chi Zhongming was going to take someone away, and originally didn't want to care about these things, but after all, now that this assassin was taken away from him, if someone was really secretly manipulating all this as Yu Chi Zhongming speculated, that person would definitely notice this manor, and he should have made some preparations earlier. Thinking about this, General Wei Chi Zhong Ming stopped and said seriously: "Wei Chi, if anything happens during the interrogation, you must inform me as soon as possible." Wei Chi Zhongming agreed without any hesitation, and left Fengluo Villa with everyone.
Zhao Qin'er looked at the departing Imperial City Forbidden Army, looked around, and couldn't help but think that this manor was secluded and elegant, pleasant to live in, but the news was too closed, such a big event happened in Kyoto, and he didn't even hear half of the news, but this sense of powerlessness was something Zhao Qin'er didn't want. The world is complicated, and it is so simple to suddenly get out of it.
Zhao Qin'er returned to the courtyard where Jiang Chen lived, when such a thing happened, Jiang Chen's face was quite calm, seeing his mother go and return, he was very curious about the black-clothed man he had just captured, and asked Zhao Qin'er: "Mother, who was that person just now? Why did he hide in my room?" Zhao Qin'er thought that Jiang Chen would come into contact with these things sooner or later, so she told him the identity of that person and what had happened in the city of Feng'an recently, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Jia Quanyu had also been killed, although the child and him and Yue Wujing, The three of them were a little conflicted, and Jiang Chen suddenly heard the news of Jia Quanyu's death, and he didn't feel happy, and he was a little sad.
Zhao Qin'er comforted Jiang Chen a few words, told him to rest early, then exited Jiang Chen's room, returned to his room, and thought about who was stirring up the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms of Jiu Nao Prefecture, from the fundamental vested interests, only the Meng Yuan Clan in Da Ting Prefecture would become the profiteer, could this be the precursor of the Meng Yuan Clan's intention to attack Jiu Nao Prefecture on a large scale? Could it be that they have completely unified Da Ting Prefecture?
