211: What to Target (1)
Nalan Jinxiu held her breath and condensed, feeling that what these two people were looking for must be very important to them, and it must not be a good thing, otherwise they would not choose to come to find it at this time.
"I really don't know, it's just here. β
"Then why not? Do you know that if you lose these things, it will be a disaster. β
"What then?"
"Go back first. The man was just about to go out when he saw the candy on the case, and then he began to look around vigilantly.
"Let's go!"
The man looking for something didn't know what he was doing and reached out and pulled his arm. The man didn't say anything, pulled out a bright knife, and walked straight to the place where Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye were hiding.
The knife must have been extremely sharp, and the blade was illuminated by the moonlight, shining brightly, which was quite dazzling. Nalan Jinxiu felt that this person must have martial arts, and was a little scared for a while, so he hid in Ji Hongye's arms.
Ji Hongye's expression was calm, and he reached out and patted her back gently, with obvious intention of comfort. Nalan Jinxiu really admires the third brother from the bottom of her heart, and she can change at any time without being surprised. Didn't he see that the man came with a knife?
Of course, Ji Hongye saw that the person came with a knife, and of course he had a sense of crisis, but he knew better in his heart that Ji Xiaobai was guarding beside him, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of. And what these two men were looking for was in his hands, and he came prepared.
And when the man swung his sword at them, he was thrown to the ground. The other person saw that his companion was attacked, and he also brought a knife over, but unfortunately as soon as he swung it twice, he was beaten with two punches.
Nalan Jinxiu saw clearly that Ji Xiaobai had sneaked in at some point. He was dressed in a black night suit, which could easily have disappeared into the night, and if he hadn't just appeared on his own, no one would have noticed it. She felt very uncomfortable at the thought that he was hiding in the shadows, knowing everything that was going on in the house.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Ji Hongye walked over and lit the candle, the room suddenly brightened, he looked at the two people who couldn't find where his knife was kicked, and said lightly.
"You...... You're the one who took it away!" the man who was looking for it came back to his senses and realized that he had been calculated.
"Yes. β
"Give it back to me!" snapped the man.
Ji Hongye chuckled, his tone was as calm as ever, and he couldn't hear any waves: "Give it back to you?" Do you think it's possible?" he said as he spoke, he took out a token-like thing from his sleeve and held it in his hand, his eyes became dark.
As soon as Nalan Jinxiu touched the third brother's eyes, he knew that he was angry at this time. Sure enough, his voice was a little colder: "We have only left Chiyang City not long ago, and you have made a move, are you a little too anxious?"
The two men looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.
"I recognize your waist card, among the seven tribes of Northern Yan, the only one who has this waist card is the Jina Department. Because they believe in witchcraft, they have skulls engraved on their waist plates. β
"Now that you know who we are, you might as well give us back the waist card. β
"Give it back to you?" Ji Hongye snorted lightly, "I don't know what means you used to get this waist card, but now you want to keep it for yourself?"
The two men were visibly shocked by his words, they thought they were hiding well, and they didn't know how they were discovered. You must know that low-level painters like them, if their identities are exposed, there is only one way to die.
Nalan Jinxiu suddenly thought of Blood Yama, who was a dazzling woman. And it is said that the painted skins raised in the mansion of the eldest princess of Nanchu are all women, which means that the two tall men in front of her are actually women?
As if to confirm the thoughts in her heart, Ji Xiaobai strode over, and pulled hard at the back of the heads of the two people, peeling off a bunch of things. There was a wig, a cheek, and a shirt, and then the two big men were made, two women in slim night clothes.
"Say, what is your purpose in following us along the way?" asked Ji Hongye.
The two of them glanced at each other, took advantage of the unpreparedness, and moved to the window in an extremely strange way, pushed open the window, and made a gesture to escape. Who knew that there were people waiting for them outside the window, Ye Bing held the window lattice with both hands, and gave the two painted skins a kick, without showing mercy at all because they were women.
Ye Bing was obviously ruthless, and the two painted skins fell to the ground and vomited blood. They looked at Ye Bing with gloomy eyes, and just as their mouths were about to move, Ji Xiaobai and Ye Bing clamped their chins and took out poison from behind their teeth.
"Every time I hide here, I don't know how to change places, I really don't know whether to call you stupid or brainless. Ye Bing put away the two poisons, pulled out a piece of rope from his sleeve, and twisted the arms of the two women behind his back and wrapped them together.
"Let the Commander Zuo carefully interrogate them, ask them how to contact their accomplices, I want to know the purpose of their trip. Before you spit out, you must not let people die. β
After Ji Hongye finished instructing, he reached out and took Nalan Jinxiu's hand and left. He didn't want to waste time on them now, but he also knew that the paints must have an important mission. He vaguely felt that they should be eyeing his things, but he was sure that they must not be like the Northern Yan people, who came for the dowry. Nanchu is extremely wealthy, and there are countless treasures in the eldest princess's mansion, if she makes a move, she must have a greater purpose.
What was Nan Chu staring at him? He was puzzled, and glanced sideways at the girl who was following him, feeling a little relieved. No matter what Bei Yan and Nan Chu were calculating, as long as he didn't move her, he wouldn't panic. Thinking of this, he frowned again, what if they were really targeting her?
This thought was only for a moment, and it was quickly dispelled by him. Now although she has the name of the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu, but in the end it is only an empty name, even if outsiders want to worry about it, they should also worry about Xu Jinji, and they will definitely not hit Ah Jin with their ideas. It would be better now, lest he have to worry too much about her.
"Did the third brother already know before he took me to make candy?" asked Nalan Jinxiu sideways.
"I guess it's going to be a day or two. β
"Are they looking for that waist card?"
"Hmm. β
"If it's an extremely important thing, why don't they take it with them, but hide it in the kitchen?"
"It's because it's important that you can't wear it on your body, for fear of being discovered. As you can see, they don't have anything else to do but change their skins. β
Nalan Jinxiu felt that their disguise technique was already very powerful, and they could turn themselves into another person in an instant, but when they said it in the mouth of the third brother, it seemed like a little trick. To be honest, she felt that it was indeed not easy for the third brother to like her, and there were really few things that could be seen by him.
"What do you want?" Ji Hongye glanced at her lightly, this girl looked at him directly, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her head.
"I'm thinking about the two painted skins just now, aren't they really all the way with the person who drugged us?"
"It's not. Ji Hongye replied firmly.
Nalan Jinxiu thought, the third brother said no, no, no! She didn't need to ask so much, anyway, she couldn't figure out the relationship between them, and even if she asked, it would be more troublesome for herself. So she asked a very sincere sentence: "Third brother, I forgot to bring the candy out, let's go back and get it." β
Ji Hongye was waiting for her next and was going to give her an answer, but she didn't expect this girl to suddenly change the conversation, and she still wanted sugar. He was a little helpless, he really didn't know what she was putting in her head, wasn't it much more important to figure out the situation than a few pieces of sugar?
Seeing that he had no intention of going back, Nalan Jinxiu pulled his sleeve and whispered, "This is the first time you have made something for me." β
When Ji Hongye heard her words, his eyes softened, and he had to lead her back. By the time they arrived at the kitchen, the sugar on the case had long been gone, and they thought it had been looted by Ji Xiaobai and Ye Bing. Nalan Jinxiu looked at the empty table and was helpless: "Didn't you say that men don't like to eat sweets? Why are the two of them so special?"
"It should be Ji Xiaobai. Ji Hongye said lightly, Ji Xiaobai has been like this since he was a child, he has long hands and feet, good martial arts, likes sweets, and is not smart.
The corners of Nalan Jinxiu's mouth twitched, she couldn't do anything about the innocent and naΓ―ve Ji Xiaobai, so she had to complain in a low voice: "There's nothing he doesn't like to eat, I'll clean him up when I return to Jinling." β
Ji Hongye smiled, reached out and patted the top of her head, doting: "Okay, it's all up to you." β
Nalan Jinxiu's eyes were shining, she nodded happily, and said with a smile: "That third brother has to talk and can't bluff people, but after he goes back, everything will follow me." β
After they go back, they will get married, and she will be his wife, even if she doesn't guarantee it, he will probably follow her! Ji Hongye's heart was so soft that he couldn't speak, he lowered his head and pecked her somewhat cold cheek, and said softly: "Naturally, speaking counts." β
Nalan Jinxiu stretched out her hand to cover her cheeks, and said angrily: "You can't always kiss me, it's not good to be seen." β
"Don't be afraid, no one will see. β
"Why didn't you have it, Ji Xiaobai was near the kitchen just now, and you still ......" Nalan Jinxiu couldn't go on halfway through his words, which was weird and embarrassing.
Ji Hongye couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her appearance, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, what he shouldn't see, he won't look at it." β
Nalan Jinxiu felt that the third brother was a little self-deceived, and couldn't help but debunk him: "If he doesn't watch it, how can he know what to watch and what not to watch?"
