Chapter 697: The Prefect Strikes
It could be seen that Ji Yanning was guarding against himself, and the prefect of Yingzhou continued: "His Royal Highness King Xuan and the princess are delicate and noble, and it is not good to sleep in the open in this barren mountain. ”
Ji Yanning could see the insistence of the prefect of Yingzhou, and there was a hint of fierce light in his eyes, it seemed that this person was really a thief.
It seems that Jing Yuan has a deep influence on these disciples, and even does such a thing as beating the prince's idea.
Before Ji Yanning could speak, Rong Che had already walked to her side and said, "Then change the route to the town to affect the time, this is not far from Wei'an County, just go there." ”
The prefect of Yingzhou saw that Rong Che had already spoken, and his tone was incomprehensible, so he lowered his head and answered yes.
The fire in the post house was very big, but fortunately it was cold at night, and there was not much wind, but it did not spread, but it was controlled little by little, but the post house could no longer live in people.
The people of the caravan were handed over to the prefect of Yingzhou to deal with, after all, it was a matter on his territory, and the people of the Xuanwang Mansion could not continue to walk with this group of people.
These people are similar to those mountain bandits, they have received money from others, they just want to find trouble in the Xuan Wangfu, and they don't know who is behind it, probably because they are afraid of being interrogated, so it is best not to let them know.
It's just some ants, and Ji Yanning doesn't care about it yet.
The people of the caravan looked at the fate of the lady and the maid, and knew that these people were hard bones and could not gnaw at all.
Rong Che let everyone rest in place for a night and set off on the road again.
Sometimes they will sleep in the wilderness when they are in a hurry, which is prepared for them in advance, but they are not worried.
It's just that the face of the prefect of Yingzhou is not very good.
The Wei'an County that Rong Che is going to is a person with a strong temperament in the local county, although it is within the jurisdiction of his state and county, he is not a person who is easy to handle.
It is no wonder that Rong Che chose to go to Wei'an County.
Bai Zhifu sneered and said, "Then the lower official asked people to accompany His Highness to go together." ”
Ji Yanning glanced at him, and a silver needle fell from the fingertips under his sleeve, and while he was not paying attention, it stabbed directly into his shoulder.
"Shhhh
Bai Zhifu felt a sudden pain in his shoulder, he reached out and touched it directly, only to find that he had been pierced with half a silver needle.
His gaze looked at Ji Yanning: "What do you mean, princess?"
Ji Yanning said with an innocent face: "What is the prefect talking about?"
In such a dark sky, ordinary people can't see her movements.
But this Bai Zhifu knew that it was Ji Yanning who shot it when he saw the silver needle, and it seemed that he had a certain understanding of her.
Bai Zhifu's face was dark, he took off the silver needle, and said, "Is the princess afraid that the lower officials have bad intentions?"
Ji Yanning said: "It's not clear whether the prefect has bad intentions or not, but it's always good to keep an eye when you go out." By the way, looking at the age of Bai Zhifu, the parents should be alive, right? How many children do you have?"
Bai Zhifu's face was a little darker.
Ji Yanning's words couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted his family to blackmail him.
Bai Zhifu gritted his teeth and said: "Princess Lao asked, but the family affairs of the lower officials really don't need to be mentioned to the princess." ”
Ji Yan Ningpi didn't smile: "Oh, since the prefect of Bai doesn't want to mention it, it doesn't matter, the prefect of Bai has always cared about his family, so he has to be even more cautious in his words and deeds, I heard that the prefect of Guzhou not long ago was not because he offended people, and the whole family was wiped out, which was extremely tragic." ”
Bai Zhifu didn't answer, lowered his head, and his eyes flashed slightly.
King Xuan said that the news of the attack on Yingzhou Cheng had been transmitted back to Chang'an, and it was useless for him to send people to intercept the news now.
If they had another accident in their own realm, he would definitely be to blame, and if King Xuan and Ji Yanning's people were eyeing him, it was very likely that they would kill the whole family to vent their anger as she said.
These people are really despicable and shameless.
Rong Che said: "Bai Zhifu should go back to investigate this case, otherwise this king will report to Dali Temple and let Dali Temple send a messenger to investigate the case." ”
"The lower officials will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Bai Zhifu lowered his eyes and replied.
After saying this, Bai Zhifu retreated, escorted the caravan back, and continued to investigate the cause of the fire in the post house.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Ziyu was a little indignant and said, "This prefect is not a good person at first glance. ”
Ji Yanning sneered: "But he should feel that he is a good person." ”
If it is really Jing Yuan's instructions, I am afraid that he will enlighten the people under him well and use it for himself.
What Jing Yuan is good at is not attacking the heart?
Ziyu said: "We have to walk for another six days before we can leave Yingzhou, and now that we have encountered such a thing, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to leave." ”
"They came prepared, they were waiting for us for a long time. Ji Yanning said, "You can't hide, you can only fight for favorable conditions for us." ”
Rong Che asked, "You poisoned him just now?"
Ji Yanning nodded and said, "It's just that he is drowsy and sleepy, and ordinary doctors can't cure him." ”
Rong Che raised his eyebrows, this poison is not bad.
If you want to get to Xuanzhou, it's not so easy.
Ji Yanning originally thought that she would get revenge, and there would naturally be fewer people against her, at least because of her identity, she didn't dare to deal with herself blatantly.
But she still thought too much.
After resting for a night, when the sky was just dawning, I found that there seemed to be an ambush around.
Ji Yanning always got up early, and saw the flying eagle and autumn carp reporting to Rong Che.
Rong Che frowned slightly, and his face was a little cold.
She stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Rong Che asked Feiying to go down to make arrangements, turned his head and said to Ji Yanning: "The person surnamed Bai is going to break the jar and fall, he has to kill me, I let people mix in the caravan yesterday, knowing that they have been ambushed on the road." ”
Ji Yanning rubbed his head: "Which tendon is wrong in this Yingzhou prefect?"
Do you have to get along with them?
It doesn't matter if you want to be tough, but I'm afraid that if you encounter this kind of death, you have to drag others to die together, as if you don't care about it.
Rong Che said: "I heard the secret guard say that the prefect of Yingzhou was raised by Jing Yuan at the beginning, and he has a deep affection for Jing Yuan, like a relative, I don't know who told him behind his back that Jing Yuan was killed by me, so he will chase us like a mad dog." ”
After listening to Rong Che's explanation, Ji Yanning finally figured out the key.
It turned out that it was because he thought that they caused Jingyuan's death and wanted revenge.
Tsk, it seems that the prefect of Yingzhou is out, and there are still people behind him who are pushing for this matter.
"Where did he get this news from?" asked Ji Yanning.
They wanted to kill Jing Yuan, but it wasn't that before they could do it, Jing Yuan himself died in the fire, saying that they killed Jing Yuan, which is biased.
Rong Che shook his head and said, "For the time being, I can't find out who revealed the news to him." ”
"That's it, let's solve the Yingzhou prefect first. Ji Yanning said, "What an elm head." ”
The people in the team of the Xuan Wangfu gradually woke up, but before they could pack their luggage, a lot of people suddenly rushed out of the woods.
In the morning, when the guards were relatively weak, not to mention that there were still many people packing up their things, and suddenly someone rushed over, and everyone was a little surprised.
Among those people, the first to rush was none other than the people of yesterday's caravan.
Ji Yanning picked up the bow and arrow, put the quiver on his shoulder, then pulled out five arrows, took the arrow and pulled the bow in one go, his eyes were coldly aimed at the people who rushed over, his expression was dazed, and he released the arrow in his hand, only to hear a whistling sound, and then the five people who rushed in front of him were all in unison, and there was no sound.
Those five people were pierced through the throat by Ji Yanning's arrow, and they fell to the ground instantly, making the people who followed behind stunned.
Before I could see it clearly, these five people died, which was too terrifying.
It's just that before they came back to their senses, Ji Yanning took five more sharp arrows, his eyes were fierce, and five people fell back at once.
After her body recovered, her archery skills improved a lot, and at such a distance, she was the most suitable for using arrows.
When facing death, people are always afraid, not to mention facing such a powerful disparity, so those who originally planned to rush forward were a little hesitant, and many people silently wanted to hide back.
After all, Ji Yanning's archery technique is too accurate.
No one knows which five people will die next.
Ji Yanning pulled out the arrow again, and those people started to hide directly, but it was useless to hide again, but she would not show mercy to her subordinates.
These people want to take their lives for money, and she has no reason to be soft.
Zisheng and Ziluo, who were standing behind them, saw Ji Yanning shooting arrows and killing people for the first time, and they couldn't say anything in surprise.
The first time they saw such a cold princess, they were shocked, and she alone had already killed most of the people in the caravan, and the rest fled in all directions, not knowing where to hide.
put away the bow and arrows, handed it to Ziyu next to him, and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm a lot unfamiliar." ”
Ziyu said: "The princess is already very powerful. ”
The guards went after those who were left to flee in all directions.
In addition to the caravan people, there were mountain bandits and soldiers behind.
They rushed over together, as if these people in the Xuan Wangfu were the most vicious villains.
The guards of the Xuan Palace's Mansion naturally did not sit still, and directly stepped forward and blended into the fight.
Ji Yanning took a few maids to the back.
After all, the maids she brought with her didn't know martial arts, and if they got too close, they would be affected.
"Miss Ji......"
When Ji Yanning walked back, he suddenly heard someone shouting at him.
She fixed her eyes and saw a person standing not far away.
It's Shen Qingyi.
He was dressed in white, but it was covered with wrinkles and dust, and it looked like it had taken a lot of effort to get here.
When he saw Ji Yanning, his dark eyes suddenly lit up.
