Chapter 696: Set a trap
Ji Yanning glanced back at the post house, the fire had already raged, and many people planned to use water to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too big, and there was only one well around, which was not enough at all.
The people who lived in the inn ran out one after another, most of them still clinging to their luggage, but some of them couldn't take care of it.
It's been a mess, and many people don't seem to be able to find their previous team anymore.
Ji Yanning stood beside Rong Che, watching the sudden fire engulf the post house little by little, and his face sank terribly.
Seeing that there were more and more people escaping, and the people were getting more and more crowded, Ji Yanning didn't see Ziyu Zisheng and them.
Knowing that Ji Yanning was worried about the maid, Rong Che said, "Don't worry, I have arranged guards to protect them, don't worry too much." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, at this time, it was already the best help for her to stay away.
She didn't expect that the prefect of Yingzhou himself was still in this post house, and this post house was actually on fire.
But I really want to go out of my way to deal with them.
It's already evening, and the autumn night always comes very early, but I'm afraid that after a while, it won't be so peaceful.
Rong Che was about to take Ji Yanning to the open space not far from the post house to settle down, but suddenly two women came over.
The two women Ji Yanning recognized, they were Mrs. Fang and the maid she brought in the caravan.
"This lady, please help my wife. The maid stepped forward and said to Ji Yanning, "My wife has been slightly injured, and she can't find anyone from our caravan, can we stay with you first?"
Ji Yanning frowned and said, "Being with us will only be more dangerous." ”
Mrs. Fang's eyes were looking at Ji Yanning, she glanced at Rong Che again, bit her lip and said, "Now I can't find the people from our caravan, I can only follow you first, if I see them later, I will disturb you, and please take us in first." ”
Now that the post house is on fire, all the people who originally lived in the post house have escaped, and there is a lot of chaos, and the two weak women are supporting each other, looking really embarrassed.
But Ji Yanning didn't want to be with them, but raised his chin and pointed to the team with female dependents not far away, and said, "You can be with them." ”
Mrs. Fang and the maid were stunned.
didn't expect that he was already like this, Ji Yanning still didn't relax at all, and didn't want them to approach at all.
When Mrs. Fang heard Ji Yanning say this, her face was also a little embarrassed.
The maid was even more unscrupulous: "Our lady is already injured, how can you do this?"
Rong Che's tone was cold: "What does your injury have to do with us?"
To put it mildly, even if they are dead, for these people, they are just strangers, who stipulates that Ji Yanning has to accept them if they are injured?
Mrs. Fang and the maid glanced at each other and lowered their heads stupidly.
Mrs. Fang looked at Ji Yanning and said, "I don't know where our caravan offended you, it seems that you didn't treat us from the beginning, if we have done something wrong, please be sure to tell us truthfully, and we will change it." ”
Ji Yanning said coldly: "No, I just don't like others to move forward." ”
Mrs. Fang's face turned blue and white for a while, and she could only take the maid to the side and follow the team of the female dependents.
It's just that I don't know how they talked about it, and the team didn't accept them.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed to be out of control.
But fortunately, the people in the Xuan Wangfu have basically escaped.
The prefect of Yingzhou was taking the officers and soldiers to fight the fire, with a serious face.
Although the sky was dark, the fire was shining brightly.
Ji Yanning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jinhe say that Ziyu and the other maids had been brought out safely.
She was about to go up to see what was going on, when she suddenly heard a woman shouting nearby.
Because everyone moved out, the fire in the post house was too big, so they all rested in a forest not far from the post house.
"Grab something!
Ji Yanning looked back and saw that it was the two women in the caravan just now, they still hadn't found their caravan, and they were still being robbed of their baggage by others.
The maid dragged the burden to death, refusing to let go, and the burden of life and death was pretending to be her own life, and then shouting to attract the attention of others.
The closest to them is Ji Yanning's group.
Ji Yanning frowned, didn't make a move, and didn't ask his subordinates to help.
Then the maid was kicked directly by the thief, snatched the burden, and ran away.
The kick of the maid was not light, and she fell to the ground and cried.
Mrs. Fang stepped forward and hugged the maid, and the two of them were really desolate.
The scene just now was also seen by other people not far away, and a woman said: "What's the use of taking so many guards, watching others being robbed and being indifferent, what kind of good person can you be." ”
"It's just that it's really hard-hearted. ”
Ji Yanning didn't intend to pay attention to it, but continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, the maid rushed over directly and hugged Ji Yanning's thigh.
"It's all you!" the maid said loudly, "why don't you save ...... when you die?"
Before the maid could finish speaking, Ji Yanning had already pulled out a long sword from the guard beside him and put it directly against the maid's neck.
Ji Yanning looked down at this maid condescendingly, her eyes were cold and terrifying, and her eyes were particularly dazzling in the firelight of the night, because there were too many things in them that others could not see.
"What, want to die?" Ji Yanning's tone was as cold as ice, and the sword in her hand was against the maid's neck, marking a faint mark of blood.
The maid could feel the pain in her neck, as well as the coldness in Ji Yanning's eyes, she knew that the woman in front of her was really angry, as long as Ji Yanning moved lightly, her little life would be gone.
When the people not far away saw this scene just now, they couldn't help but close their mouths.
Such a person is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke.
Ji Yanning glanced at the lady Fang, and then raised his hand and stabbed the maid on the thigh with a sword.
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, the sharp tip of the sword was stained with bright red blood, and the maid screamed in pain.
"If you hit me again, don't blame me for being rude. Ji Yanning said lightly.
There was a chill behind Mrs. Fang and the maid, and looking at Ji Yanning, they didn't dare to move for a while.
Ji Yanning handed the sword in his hand to the guards beside him, and then walked forward without looking back.
Mrs. Fang opened her mouth to stop her, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, we didn't mean it, we just wanted to eat, we were really forced to be helpless." ”
She chased after her, as if she was explaining to Ji Yanning.
But when she was about to chase after Ji Yanning, she suddenly took out a sharp dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it towards Ji Yanning's body.
Now there is only one guard by Ji Yanning's side, which is really the best time to start.
As long as Ji Yanning is held hostage, everything is not a problem.
However, just as she was about to catch up, Ji Yanning suddenly turned around and flew out of her sleeve with two silver needles, which pierced directly into her eyes.
"Ahh
Mrs. Fang's eyes were stabbed, and she fell directly to the ground, her eyes were in pain, and she covered her eyes with her hands and rolled on the ground and screamed.
Ji Yanning looked at this scene and said expressionlessly: "This night is so dark, it is the same whether your eyes are used for you or not, you are already blind anyway." ”
The maid looked at Mrs. Fang like this, and was surprised that even the pain in her leg seemed to have been reduced a lot, and Ji Yanning was already very kind to her just now.
Thinking of this, the maid's heart shuddered.
Ziyu and Zisheng Ziluo quickly rushed over, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the princess was fine.
It's just that just when everyone was relaxing, there was a sudden commotion in the night.
Ji Yanning narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Yingzhou prefect not far away, and found that the person was also looking at him.
Seeing Ji Yanning looking at him, he suddenly smiled, and came in the direction of them, stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan see Princess Xuan." ”
Ji Yanning didn't answer, she was now wearing the maid's clothes, but she was still seen by him.
The prefect of Yingzhou glanced at Mrs. Fang, who was still rolling on the ground and screaming, and said, "What's going on?"
"Intended to murder the princess. The guard beside Ji Yanning said.
When the prefect of Yingzhou heard this reason, he suddenly laughed and said, "That is indeed deserved." ”
Ji Yanning kept a distance from him, raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, and said, "What, the prefect also wants to feel it?"
The princess laughed. The prefect of Yingzhou said, "Xiaguan just wants the prince and the princess to change places to rest, there is some distance in the city, but you can go to a nearby town in half an hour, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated by the lower officials, and the prince and the princess are invited to go to the town to rest first." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Something happened one after another, this princess doesn't think that the prefect can find out the truth, if you can't find out, won't we be able to leave all the time?"
"Naturally don't dare, if the princess wants to leave, the lower officials naturally have no right to stay. The prefect of Yingzhou said, "It's just that the cases that should be investigated still need to be investigated." ”
Ji Yanning sneered and said, "The prefect has this leisure, let's clean up the mountain bandits first." ”
The prefect of Yingzhou said: "Don't worry, these are all in the consideration of the lower officials, in addition to suppressing bandits, the investigation cannot be left behind." ”
Knowing that the prefect of Yingzhou had set a trap, Ji Yanning naturally wouldn't jump in stupidly, and said: "You don't need the prefect's kindness, you just need to find out the case as soon as possible, and we still need to hurry." ”
She simply rejected the offer to go to town to rest.
