Chapter 40: The Stabbing
Rong Yanqi did not return to the palace directly, but also went to the military department to discuss countermeasures, and did not ride to the palace until night.
The capital has been curfew at night, no one is on the streets, and now the appearance of cruel killers has made people in the capital panic, and they have to find someone to accompany them when they go to the thatched house at night.
He thinks about something on horseback, and the speed is not fast, so to speak, leisurely.
He has been at the border for more than three years, and he has long regarded it as his second home.
Now in the capital, he is restricted everywhere, and he can't adapt to it at first.
The most important thing is that there is an extra woman by his side, a woman who makes him hate it so much!
"Ah......h
The woman's screams instantly reminded him of the frequent murders in the capital.
Without the slightest hesitation, the body jumped from the horse's back, jumped onto the roof, and ran towards the source of the sound.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed a street, and suddenly found a black-clothed and masked afterimage on the roof not far away, his eyes were cold, his speed suddenly increased, and he quickly caught up with the other party.
Stretching out his right hand, he grabbed the masked man's shoulder. The masked man leaned back, unloading his strength. He stretched out his left hand again and grabbed the other man's shoulder, but the other person's body spun and slid like a loach.
Rong Yanqi has been an idle prince in the capital for a period of time, and he has not done anything with anyone for a long time. Suddenly meeting a master aroused his desire to challenge, and his movements became more complex and fast.
The masked man's eyes were slightly cold, he felt great danger, and he was always in a state of defense and evasion, always looking for an opportunity to escape.
"If you are captured, this king will leave you with all your corpses." Rong Yanqi discovered the masked man's intentions and stopped the other party from leaving.
When the masked man heard his words, his movements first froze, and then the pace also increased, and the two sides fought equally.
This sound naturally alarmed the people in the official mansion, and Zhang Yucheng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, heard that there was a suspect haunted, where could he still sleep, put on his clothes and rushed to the location with a group of people.
Only got the emperor's appointment today, Zhang Yucheng didn't dare to slack off, and if he caught the murderer one day, his official hat might be worn one day less, and it was not impossible to make the emperor unhappy and be demoted to a remote area.
"Lord Zhang, look at the roof over there, there seem to be two people fighting."
Zhang Yucheng raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw two people on the roof in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Quick, one of the two may be the murderer, and he must be caught." ”
A group of people hurriedly ran in the direction where Rong Yanqi was, and this movement attracted the attention of the masked man.
The masked man knew that if he continued to be entangled like this, he would definitely not end well, and he desperately wanted to escape.
"Want to escape? You don't have a chance anymore, so just grab it. Rong Yanqi said, and the attack in his hand did not stop.
"Heh......" The masked man snorted softly and narrowed his eyes.
Rong Yanqi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his kung fu is very high, and ordinary people can't help him at all. Even within the military department, there are only a few people who can defeat him. It was only a matter of time before the masked man was caught.
"Seventh Prince, it's not so easy to catch me!" The masked man chuckled.
"Do you know this king?" Rong Yanqi frowned, which shows that the identity of this killer may not be simple.
His moves became faster, trying to tear off the veil of the masked man.
Just as he was about to succeed, the move of the person in front of him suddenly changed greatly, and his attack slipped away in an instant.
A simple action is nothing in the eyes of others, but as a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, he has a clear distinction between many kung fu, and each school has its own characteristics.
To his surprise, the person who had slipped out of his hand just now was exactly the same as a familiar person.
"Who the hell are you?" Rong Yanqi was taken aback, and his movements also stalled because of the shock.
The masked man squinted, and in an instant he spotted the flaw, and a hidden weapon in his hand shot to his shoulder.
Rong Yanqi came back to his senses and wanted to chase after him, but found that a heart-piercing pain hit his shoulder blade, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept flowing down. The most important thing is that the body also stagnated at this moment, and the surroundings became extremely stiff.
Poisonous!
The darts are poisoned!
Rong Yanqi's body was shaky, if he continued like this, he was going to roll off the roof, he held back his last breath, jumped off the roof, and almost couldn't stabilize his body when he fell to the ground.
A group of people led by Zhang Yucheng finally arrived and immediately surrounded him in the middle, "Bold traitor, dare to kill innocents, go back to Dali Temple with this official now." Come on, take them down for me. ”
Rong Yanqi raised his head with difficulty, his face showed a hint of paleness, "Zhang Yucheng, you don't know this king anymore!" ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Yucheng immediately stepped forward, and after a closer look, he found that it was Rong Yanqi, and he was immediately shocked, "Seventh Prince, how could it be you?" Weichen didn't see clearly that it was the Seventh Prince, and asked the Seventh Prince to forgive him. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the subordinates around him, signaling them to stay away.
"Go and see if there is any living mouth in the alley." Rong Yanqi half-squatted on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, yes, did you hear that, go to the alley and see what is going on." Zhang Yucheng immediately ordered to go out, worried: "Seventh Prince, what's wrong with you?" Are you alright? ”
Rong Yanqi wanted to insist any longer, but his body didn't listen to him at all, "This king has been hit by a hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon is poisonous." Hurry up and help the king to return to his house. ”
When Zhang Yucheng heard this, his eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, go find a sedan chair to send the seventh prince back to the house." The prince is poisoned, go to the doctor to detoxify the prince. ”
Some small soldiers came up to help Rong Yanqi up, Zhang Yucheng glanced at his face, and his face suddenly changed greatly. I saw that Rong Yanqi's face was dark, and his originally handsome face was even more gloomy at the moment, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
This is indeed a sign of poisoning, and it is very serious.
At this moment, the little soldier who went to investigate in the alley ran out, his face as pale as paper: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Zhang, a female corpse was found in the alley, her eyes and heart and liver were gouged out, and she was out of breath." ”
Rong Yanqi frowned tightly, thinking of the familiar moves he saw the other party just now, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and he suddenly fainted.
Zhang Yucheng was shocked, "Did the doctor find it?" ”
If the prince has something, he will not only be relegated to a remote area, but he may not be able to protect his head!
