Chapter 42: Hunting in the Back Mountain
At this time, they should have already broken into the Taoist temple with people, as long as they took them to the front door.
But looking at the dozen or so guards coming in their direction, Ji Yanning gritted his teeth and said, "You take them out to meet the officers and soldiers, and I'll go and lure those people away!"
Ji Jiu led the way in front, so naturally she couldn't hear Ji Yanning's words, she said this to Rong Che.
Rong Che frowned: "You are a girl's family, how can you lure them away? ”
Ji Yanning said: "There are a lot of them, and their martial arts are not low, they are not so easy to deal with. They still need several girls now, so naturally they won't kill me, so you take care of them more. ”
As she spoke, she ran out in the other direction, without giving Rong Che a chance to speak again.
Rong Che just wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped, looked at the gaze that had been looking at him, and looked directly at Hua Duyan: "Since they obey you so much, you have to ensure that they go out safely, the officers and soldiers are already at the door at this time, just go and find them." ”
Hua Duyan had already listened to their conversation, and just now he had misunderstood that they had almost missed the time to escape, but now he nodded knowingly.
Rong Che followed in the direction of Ji Yanning without looking back.
A team of guards patrolling the Taoist temple heard the movement and hurriedly walked in the direction of the source of the sound, but before they could get out of the corridor, a woman's figure flashed in front of them, and they were hurriedly running in the direction of the rockery.
"A woman has run out! Go and chase it!" said the guard who took the lead in patrolling and chased in the direction of Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning's running is not fast, but it is difficult to catch her on this twist and turn.
Several guards scattered to intercept her from different paths, and a crowd surrounded her.
"There are still people who dare to run out, it seems that the lesson I received last time is not enough!" The guard who took the lead snorted coldly, staring at Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning looked at these people who surrounded her, and scolded: "Don't come here!"
These guards didn't seem to take her seriously, and they stepped forward to capture her, but Ji Yanning held a dagger in his hand, and they didn't step forward immediately.
Ji Yanning said: "You have arrested a lot of women, even if you let me go, my parents are old, and I am the only child, if something happens to me, how can they live?"
She spoke miserably, and her face was full of sadness.
Seeing such a great beauty showing such weakness in front of them, two guards were embarrassed.
Some people don't buy it: "Let you go, we won't end well!"
Ji Yanning said: "What are you going to do with arresting so many people? Don't you have sisters and daughters at home? If they encounter such a thing, what should you do? Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"
"That's a lot of nonsense......" The man who took the lead was impatient.
He was about to step forward and grab Ji Yanning, when suddenly a figure flashed next to him, he subconsciously pulled out his knife, turned his head and saw that he didn't find anything.
Rong Che hugged Ji Yanning's waist and jumped onto the roof on the side.
He took Ji Yanning in the direction of the back mountain, but he didn't expect that before he got off the roof, two people jumped forward and blocked his way.
Rong Che subconsciously dodged and slapped one of them on the chest.
The moonlight illuminated the night brightly, and the man was obviously surprised when he saw Rong Che's face, but because he was injured, he could only take a few steps back, and his companion drew his sword and went to Ji Yanning to slash at it.
Rong Che quickly hugged her tighter, turned sideways and changed positions with Ji Yanning, but a cut was made on his arm's forehead, and the blood instantly stained his arm red, he could only find an opportunity to jump off the roof, and then took Ji Yanning over the wall and escaped from the Taoist temple.
"Oh no! all the women in the secret room are gone!" said one of the guards in a hurry.
A wounded Taoist priest ran back from the other direction and shouted at them: "My lord, there are many officers and soldiers outside, saying that they have come to track down some fugitives, but those women rushed out like crazy, and now they are protected by those officers and soldiers." ”
"How did they find out here?" asked one of the Kimwuweis, dissatisfied.
The other said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, since they dare to come, then they are all wiped out, how many soldiers can there be in a county government!"
"Go after the two people who just fled. Their leader spoke.
Others were puzzled: "Why?"
"If he doesn't die, we have to die. A strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, "He is King Xuan." ”
"It was King Xuan who took away the woman just now? Boss, you read that right?"
"How could King Xuan be here?"
The others were surprised, if it was really King Xuan, what they were doing here was only known to Chang'an.
Their old way: "King Xuan must die." Those women don't care about it for now, go and show me the back mountain!"
Rong Che naturally knew that his identity was exposed, and when he saw that Jin Wuwei's surprised expression, he knew that person knew him.
Ji Jiu took the girls to meet with the officers and soldiers of the county government, and turned back to find his own young lady, only to find that Ji Yanning had not come out at all.
"Where's my eldest lady!" Ji Jiu anxiously asked the woman behind him, "It's the girl who rescued you with me just now, where did she go?"
The woman cried excitedly when she saw the officers and soldiers, and she was so frightened that she could still notice where Ji Yanning went.
Ji Jiu anxiously searched in the crowd a few times but didn't find the figure of the eldest lady, so he hurriedly asked the people behind.
Hua Duyan said, "We were almost found just now, and she went to lure the guards away. ”
Ji Jiu said angrily: "How can you let her go! The eldest lady doesn't know martial arts!"
Hua Duyan was speechless for a while, the situation was urgent, Ji Yanning said to leave, what could she do?
When the head catcher heard his words, he also frowned.
He said: "It's better to send some people to send these women back, and the rest go in to save Miss Ji." ”
If it weren't for Ji Yanning, they wouldn't have been able to find out where the women were hiding, and they wouldn't have been able to solve this disappearance case.
The head catcher sent a part of the officers and soldiers to escort these women back to the county seat, and the rest of the people went in with the Ji family's guards to save Ji Yanning.
"I'll go in with you, I'm more familiar than you in the Taoist temple. Hua Duyan said.
The head catcher said: "Miss Hua, you should go back with them first, and you can't let you go back to the tiger's wolf's den." ”
Hua lowered his eyes and did not refute.
Ji Jiu and the head catcher rushed into the Taoist temple again with people, only to find that there was no one else in it except for the two Taoist priests.
Those Jin Wuwei and the men they brought with them did not know where they had gone.
Ji Jiu, who was angry, beat the Taoist priest badly and forced them to find out where they went, and then everyone rushed in the direction of the back mountain.
The clouds in the sky obscured the moon, and the earth, which had been bright, suddenly darkened.
Rong Che's arm was injured, and he grabbed Ji Yanning's wrist and ran forward in the back mountain.
"Ahh
Rong Che paused and looked back at Ji Yanning: "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Yanning shook off his hand: "My feet are broken, don't run." ”
Rong Che said: "They will chase after them soon." ”
Ji Yanning said: "They should be chasing the officers and soldiers who took away the girls! How could they come to chase us?"
Rong Che didn't explain, just squatted down: "I'll carry you." ”
Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che's back, hesitated, and did not move.
Rong Che turned his head to look at her and said, "If you want to get out of here quickly, don't be hypocritical." ”
Ji Yanning bit his lip and could only climb on his back.
Rong Che carried her on his back and continued to walk forward, his night vision was very strong, so his pace did not slow down.
Ji Yanning leaned on his back, feeling a little awkward, but she didn't dare to move, she could only choose to believe the person in front of her now.
Suddenly feeling something sticky on her hand, she reached out to look at it and exclaimed, "Your arm hurts!"
"Nothing. Rong Che said.
Ji Yanning then remembered that he had helped him block a sword when he was on the roof just now.
She lowered her eyes and whispered a thank you.
Rong Che smiled at the corner of his eyes and did not answer.
The two of them walked in the night, and the surroundings seemed very quiet.
Ji Yanning broke the silence again: "Are you really the official who came to investigate the disappearance?"
Rong Che asked rhetorically, "Isn't it like that?"
"Do you have someone to bring when you come out?" asked Ji Yanning.
Rong Che said: "On the way." ”
Ji Yanning frowned, obviously feeling a little unbelievable about his answer, anyone who listens to this answer will doubt it, right? But he is a very strange person, and she doesn't want to dwell too much on it.
Just as they were still walking forward, there was a lot of movement behind them, and someone should have caught up.
"Search carefully, make sure to find the two of them!
When Ji Yanning heard this, he was a little surprised: "How could they catch up?"
It seems unreasonable that those women don't chase them, but so many people come to chase them.
Ji Yanning thought about it carefully, and she speculated, "They know you?"
Rong Che said: "You are so smart, can you think about how to get rid of them first." ”
The two of them, one wounded and the other broken, were to die if they were to be overtaken.
"You find a direction against the wind, I have poison on me. Ji Yanning said calmly.
The wind was a little cool at night, and that wind should be enough for the powder to be sprinkled on them.
After hearing this, Rong Che ran to the mountain on the left.
"They're over there!" Someone suddenly saw them, shouted, and then led the men in the direction they ran.
Rong Che found a vantage point, and then jumped onto the trunk of a large tree.
Ji Yanning took out the medicine bag from his sleeve and scattered it in the direction of the wind.
