Time goes back to last night.

In the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Ji Zheng used secret words to sort out the information collected during this time.

If you are proficient in this secret language, you can know that it is densely written with various key points of Xining City, the four city gates, as well as the deployment of the defending army, the generals defending the city, and the number of sergeants, etc.

There is even a secret passage from the Moxi Grassland across Helan Mountain, a secret passage out of Xining City, and how to contact various secret agents in Xining Mansion.

After finishing writing, Ji took a deep breath, summoned the secret guard he was carrying with him, and said to her with a solemn face: "This letter is a very urgent report, it must be delivered to the hands of the Great Khan by hand, and there must be no accident on the way." Even if the entire Dark Guard is sacrificed, it can't afford to lose, understand? ”

Dark Sixteen put his right hand into a fist on his chest, bowed his head and knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, although rest assured, even if the Secret Guard is wiped out, it will be successfully delivered to the Great Khan." ”

Ji was silent for a while, and said resolutely: "If something can't be done, I'd rather destroy it than fall into the hands of others, understand?" ”

"Whoa!"

Ji Yi waved his sleeves and said quietly: "Get up, sixteen." You've been in the shadows for five years, right? ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, five years, three months and eight days."

Ji smiled: "You remember quite clearly, after this mission is completed, you will break away from the secret guard and become a personal guard for the palace." This palace promised your sister Dark Nine to let you come out of the shadows. ”

"Sister?" Dark Sixteen was stunned, and then immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for your grace." ”

Ji Dao: "Go down, pay attention to safety on the road, take away all the secret guards, this mission cannot be lost." ”

Dark Sixteen worried: "Your Royal Highness Princess, then ...... by your side"

Ji raised his hand to stop her next words, and said without a beak: "Do what Bengong wants." In addition to the secret guards, there are other people in the dark department in Xining, and if there is really an emergency, there is no need to worry about no one in the palace. ”

Dark Sixteen gritted his teeth and said, "Subordinates obey!" "Finished, kowtowed to Ji a few times, put the secret letter sealed with wax pills into the back of the private parts, and hid in the dark.

Ji Mu sent Dark Sixteen away, and a look of hope flashed in his eyes, "This day is finally coming." ”

……

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the weather is getting colder.

A gust of wind blew through the courtyard of the Warm Incense Pavilion, and the leaves rustled.

Ji was suddenly awakened from his sleep, his right hand quickly touched under the pillow, pulled out a dagger with cold light, and listened attentively to the movement from the roof.

"Meow ......"

A wild cat let out a low meow and walked away on the roof tiles.

Ji breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a wild cat. Just as he was about to put the dagger back under his pillow, he suddenly heard an inaudible sound from an object hitting the window.

Once, twice, three times......

Ji's face suddenly became very solemn, this is the secret guard sending a signal to himself. But she clearly remembered that tonight, she asked Dark Sixteen to take all the secret guards away.

Does anyone dare to disobey his orders? Ji's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

She tiptoed to the window, gently opened the corner of the window, and saw a figure flash around the corner of the alley opposite. It was nearly four o'clock, and the streets outside were quiet and not a single pedestrian passed.

If it weren't for the faint moonlight in the sky and the bright lights on the second floor of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion all night, Ji would not have been able to find that figure.

Ji poked his head out of the window and looked left and right in the corridor, and found that no one had walked by, and no girls had gotten up at night. She returned to the bedside and found a night robe to change from the bottom of the closet.

Xin cautiously avoided the courtyard of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Ji lifted a breath, and with a light tiptoe, he deftly flipped out of a dim and secluded wall that the light could not reach.

Then, following the direction she remembered, she found the corner where the figure was hiding.

With just one glance, Ji was stunned, and after seeing the ragged, haggard, and injured woman in front of her, she held her shoulder tightly, "Dark Jiu, why do you dress like this?" Also, didn't you go to Chang'an with the pro-envoy group, why did you return to Xining, and what happened? ”

When Dark Nine saw Ji, his face showed joy, but his tone was very weak: "Your Royal Highness the princess, it's great to see you for the last time." ”

As soon as the words fell, his body fell limply to the ground.

Ji Xin was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his finger to poke between her nose, and saw that she was still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Dark Jiu, don't talk about it first, I'll take you to find a place to deal with the wound first." ”

In order to facilitate contact with the people in the dark department, Ji quietly bought a courtyard near the Nuan Xiang Pavilion as a contact point for the dark department.

At this time, the secret guards stationed in the secret department in the contact point had already asked Ji Quan to send out to escort the secret report back to Dadu, so the courtyard was extremely quiet.

Entering the secret room in the courtyard, Ji lit the oil lamp on the wall inside the secret room, making the dark room brighter.

Ji found the wound medicine on the cabinet in the secret room, gave it to Dark Jiu, and helped her change into a clean set of clothes again, and when she saw that she was awake, he asked, "What happened?" ”

In an instant, Dark Jiu's eyes turned red, and his voice choked up: "Your Royal Highness Princess, our envoy group was robbed and killed by unknown people on the road, except for me and the leader of Daru Huachi, who escaped by luck, the others were all wiped out. ”

Although Ji didn't know what was going on, just seeing that Dark Jiuyi was injured, he could guess something about it. It's just that I didn't expect the result to be so serious, and only two people escaped from the entire peace envoy group.

She asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who did it?" How do you know it's all gone? Also, did the officials accompanying Xia Guo have an accident? ”

Dark Nine took a breath and calmed down slightly, "It's a group of black-clothed masked people, their martial arts are very strong, the one who leads them has at least first-class strength, their martial arts are very mixed, it seems that the stunts of the four countries of the mainland can be seen." ”

"As for why the whole army was destroyed, because when they first rushed into the garrison of the envoys, they killed people on sight, and they did not spare even the miscellaneous workers at the post station. The first to die was the official of the Xia Guoli Department, and if it weren't for Lord Daru Huachi's desperate rescue, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen His Highness now. ”

Ji Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept thinking in his heart, "Dark Nine, if you come like this, the two of you may not be able to run away." Unless they release the water, I guess they will let you go. ”

"This ......," Dark Nine hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness Princess, if you really analyze it like this, it seems to make some sense, because when facing his subordinates and Daru Huachi, the leader of that group of assassins has never attacked us. ”

Ji Ruo thought for a moment: "If the martial arts of the people who come here are very mixed like you, then it is clear that they are not from one sect, and they are very likely to come from a mixed force, such as blood drops!" ”

"Drops of blood?" Dark Nine looked at Ji with a shocked face and said incredulously.
