Chapter 177: Night Exploration Courtyard
Xiao Jin finally followed the two of them to find out the Zhenguo Mansion together at night, because Xiaohua and Ji Ruhuan didn't know the location of the Four Princes' Courtyard.
Only near the courtyard, Xiao Jin was driven back to the Zhenguo Mansion by his own young lady, Qiu's mother and they were still on the way back, Ji Ruhuan had no trustworthy people around him, and he had to find someone in the house to sit and watch, but no one could find a clue.
The two of them observed around the courtyard, and it was really as Xiao Jin said, the guards were tight, but if they wanted to take advantage of the night to get in, it was not difficult for Ji Ruhuan, as long as they didn't meet particularly powerful masters.
Xiaohua is not as light as Ji Ruhuan, so it is still Xiaohua who is outside to let out the wind, and Ji Ruhuan sneaks into the other courtyard at night.
At this time, there were lights burning everywhere in the courtyard, but it was not easy to find someone, Ji Ruhuan observed, and simply went to the heavily guarded place, and when he saw a group of subordinates passing by with trays, Ji Ruhuan quietly followed.
It really made Ji Ruhuan find the right place.
At this time, it was still early, hiding in the dark and watching the guards who came and went, as well as the brightly lit courtyard, Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, it was really not easy to sneak over at this time.
Ji Ruhuan waited in the dark for a long time, thinking that maybe she could pretend to be a subordinate and blend in, but she never found a chance, but from time to time she heard faint music and hearty laughter from inside.
After guarding outside for a long time, I saw that the fourth prince actually came out of the inside with two people and went to the other side.
There were fewer guards over there, and the light was a lot darker, Ji Ruhuan hurriedly touched it, watched the three of them enter a room, and estimated that it should be a study, and the guards who followed behind were all guarding the door.
Looking at this situation, there must be something important to discuss, how could Ji Ruhuan be willing to miss it, and planned the route in his mind while observing, so he took out the eagle claws and climbed onto the roof.
"Ahh
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, one of the guards exclaimed, and the other guards instantly surrounded him, asking vigilantly.
The exclamated guard touched his leg behind him and looked at his colleague next to him, "Why are you kicking me?"
The guard on the side replied inexplicably, "When did I kick you?" I think you're dozing off and stupid, aren't you?"
At this time, the voice of the fourth prince came from the house, "What's the matter?"
The leading guard glared at the two of them and responded, "Your Highness, it's okay." ”
After that, he looked at the two guards and whispered, "If you dare to doze off when you are on duty, be careful of your heads, and tighten my skin a little." ”
However, Ji Ruhuan had already taken advantage of the chaos at this moment and was already lying on the roof of the study.
Quietly moved the bricks and tiles of the roof, and moved a gap enough for her to look down, Ji Ruhuan lay on the roof and stopped moving, so as not to alarm the guards outside.
Observing the situation in the room through the gap, as Ji Ruhuan expected, it was really a study, and the three people sitting in the study at this time, two of them Ji Ruhuan knew, it was the fourth prince and her uncle, but it was another person, Ji Ruhuan didn't know.
Hearing that there was no movement outside, I heard the man Ji Ruhuan didn't know speak, "His Royal Highness couldn't ask for a family matter, but the Wu family was ruined by himself, and now I'm afraid that even my intestines are repentant." ”
seemed to have stepped on the sore spot of the four princes, and the four princes all took off their gentle and elegant disguises, and responded with a gloomy face, "Now I still mention this, let's talk about the purpose of seeing Xiao Marquis Chen see Ji Ruhuan." ”
Hearing Ji Yihong's response, "Weichen heard that Ji Ruhuan has long been interested in Chen Xiaohouye, and he also beat people on the street for Chen Xiaohouye, if Chen Xiaohou really has that meaning, will the two of them?"
Another man responded, "If you find Ji Ruhuan at this time, you really can't say, if you let the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion marry the Ji family, it will be too unfavorable for us." ”
The fourth prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I have an idea?"
"Oh, what is your Highness's solution?"
The Fourth Emperor looked at Ji Yihong and said, "This matter still needs the cooperation of Lord Ji." ”
Ji Yihong responded, "Although His Highness speaks, Wei Chen will do his best." ”
The fourth prince said, "This method is not too difficult, as long as Lord Ji can find a way to make Ji Ruhuan become my person, if the Marquis of Zhongyi wants to kiss again, he can naturally only end up without a problem." ”
Ji Yihong said in surprise, "I'm afraid this will annoy my second brother, if he knows, will it be worth the loss?"
The fourth prince sneered, "We only need to temporarily destroy the marriage between the two families, as for whether it will annoy General Ji, hmph, then he also has a chance to annoy us, a letter has come from the north, they will soon make a move, when the time comes, your good second brother and those two nephews will stay in the north forever, leaving behind a group of old and weak women and children, this town and country mansion, not ......"
The four princes were talking proudly, and suddenly heard the roof clatter, and the three people in the house were shocked, and the four princes scolded loudly, "Who is it?"
The other shouted outside, "Quick, there's an Assassin, there's an Assassin on the roof." ”
Ji Ruhuan, who was originally eavesdropping on the roof, secretly scolded herself in her heart, she also heard the words of the fourth prince, and she was so shocked that she accidentally made a sound.
Ji Ruhuan didn't care about being exposed at this time, got up and ran on the roof to find the direction to leave the courtyard.
But there is no shortage of masters around the four princes, and there are many capable people among the guards, and when they heard the sound of assassins in the house, the guards outside had already gathered here.
"Quick, the Assassin is over there. ”
"Stop, stop. ”
The courtyard was brightly lit for a while, and many masters had already flown on the roof, blocking Ji Ruhuan's way, Ji Ruhuan had to pull out the soft sword at her waist and fight with the guards who blocked her way.
The fourth prince was guarded in the middle by a group of guards, looked at the black-clothed man with a silver mask in the room, and said coldly, "Catch him for the main hall, don't let him run away." ”
On the side, Ji Yihong looked at a group of guards surrounding the man in black, and he couldn't help the man in black, so he said to the four princes on the side worriedly, "Your Highness, let's avoid it first, who knows if this person has any accomplices." ”
The fourth prince stared at the person on the roof tightly at this time, and said to Ji Yihong on the side, "Why do I think that person's figure is a little familiar?"
Another man in the room asked in surprise, "Your Highness knows that person, it seems to be a woman." ”
The fourth prince stared at the man in black for a while, and finally shook his head, thinking that he was not a demonic barrier, with this person's skills, how could it be her?
Thinking like this, the fourth prince's face became a little gloomy, and he said to a thin man who was protecting him, "You go, you must take people down for me." ”
