On the morning of the second day, Yuan Wu prepared the carriage early, and Ji Yanning took a few guards out of the city in the name of going out of the city to play.

Steward Ke didn't think much about it, the eldest lady has been here for a few days, her whereabouts are uncertain, and he is not easy to restrain her, after all, Ji Yanning is the owner of Baochang Ji, who can control her?

The carriage traveled for more than an hour before it came to the foot of a quiet hill.

Because the road conditions were not good, it was difficult for the carriage to travel, so Ji Yanning only took three guards and went directly up the mountain.

It was a cloudy day, and there was no sunshine in sight, and the cold wind was gusting, especially in the mountains and forests.

However, Ji Yanning was wearing a cyan short jacket today, and a dark blue robe, which could withstand a lot of cold winds, she followed Yuan Wu and walked slowly forward from the path, and when she walked to about two quarters of an hour, she had already seen a lot of lonely graves.

Yuan Wu explained: "Miss, my subordinates have already checked that there are three villages near this mountain, which are arranged in three different directions of this mountain, so if someone dies in the three villages on weekdays or finds any nameless bones nearby, they will be buried in this mountain." Therefore, this mountain is called the Tomb Mountain, some of the graves have tombstones, some are lonely, and except for their own relatives, probably no one knows when they were buried here. ”

Jinhe, who was on the side, listened and said, "It's like a mass grave." ”

Ji Yanning said indifferently: "It's much better than a mass grave, at least some of them can know their identities and can be ruled out." ”

Seeing her like this, Jinhe felt that there were graves everywhere, and he asked, "Miss, you didn't come here to find these lonely graves, did you?"

Ji Yanning didn't speak, but when he saw the lonely grave without a tombstone, he still walked around to see if he felt it.

Jinhe knew he had guessed correctly.

Ji Yanning never said the purpose of her coming to Laizhou, and she can only trust Yuan Wu, as for the other guards, she only needs to follow orders.

But after searching for more than an hour, I still found nothing, and I almost searched the entire lonely grave on the mountain.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and a little sweat appeared on Ji Yanning's forehead.

"It's not an option. Jinhe said that they had come from the morning, and now it was already afternoon, and if it continued like this, perhaps the evening might not be as the eldest lady wanted.

Yuan Wu found a clean stone and asked Ji Yanning to sit down and rest.

Ji Yanning took the water handed over by another guard, took a sip, and was silently thinking about whether there was any other way.

Yuan Wu said: "That's pretty much all there is to the lonely grave on this mountain. ”

The green branch just said that it was near this mountain, not necessarily this tomb mountain.

Ji Yanning said: "In addition to this mountain, is there anything else missing nearby?"

Yuan Wu said: "The subordinates will investigate again." ”

Ji Yanning said: "That's it, let's go down the mountain first." ”

The group walked in the direction of the bottom of the mountain without finding anything, but when they reached the place where the carriage was at the foot of the mountain, they found an acquaintance.

Ji Yanning didn't expect Rong Ruyu to be here.

Rong Fangyu saw her coming down the mountain, stepped forward and said, "The girl is really here, I saw your guard here, I felt familiar, and I thought that the girl should be here." ”

Ji Yanning stepped forward and saluted Rong Fangyu, raised his eyes and asked, "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince here?"

Rong Fangyu said: "It's just to pay tribute to relatives and friends." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Your Highness's relatives and friends, buried here?"

"Yes, could it be that the same is true for girls?" Rong Fangyu was surprised when she saw her guard.

Ji Yanning smiled bitterly and said, "The little girl originally wanted to come over to pay tribute to her relatives and friends, but unfortunately there are many lonely graves in this mountain, and she couldn't find her burial place as she wished. ”

Rong Fangyu saw the look of loss in her eyes and said, "That's really a pity." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Since His Royal Highness's relatives and friends are buried here, I don't know that the little girl should pay respects." ”

When Rong Fangyu heard her words, his expression was slightly stunned, and he fell silent inexplicably.

"I forgot to introduce it to the prince, the little woman is from Jiangzhou, surnamed Ji, her name is Ji Yanning, and she is a businessman. Ji Yanning said, "Today, I came to look for the tombs of relatives and friends, but I didn't get my wish, thinking that I was also a deceased relative and friend, so I made this request. ”

When Rong Fangyu heard her name, he felt very familiar, he thought about it, but remembered who the woman in front of him was.

He said: "It turned out to be the owner of Bao Chang Ji, and I still heard of Miss Ji's name. ”

In the previous Jiangzhou case, Baochang Ji's reputation was famous, and the Ji family sisters and brothers became the richest businessmen in Jiangnan, even in the Lijun Wangfu in Laizhou.

It's just that I didn't expect this Ji family to have something to do with the Xuan Wangfu.

Rong Fangyu said: "It's just a relative and friend who doesn't matter much, and I don't need Miss Ji to worship." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, if it didn't matter much, why would he, a prince of a county, come to this barren mountain and wilderness in person?

She guessed that maybe it was Lou Kite's tomb, or maybe Rong Fangyu still remembered her biological mother.

"Miss, something seems to be wrong around you. Yuan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in Ji Yanning's ear.

Ji Yanning frowned slightly, and suddenly saw an arrow coming in the direction of Rong Fangyu.

"Be careful!" Ji Yanning subconsciously shouted, stepped forward and pushed Rong Fangyu away!

A sharp arrow passed through the hair, and it almost hit Ji Yanning!

Two people fell to the ground.

"There are assassins!"

Rong Fangyu's guards immediately reacted and drew their swords to surround Rong Fangyu.

"Whoosh-"

Several arrows were fired in succession from the nearby forest, all of them coming in their direction, all with strong crossbows, in order to kill them all.

Rong Fangyu immediately helped Ji Yanning up and hid behind the carriage, avoiding those arrows.

Two of his guards had been wounded by arrows.

Rong Fangyu came out today, only bringing four guards, and Ji Yanning only brought five people.

Yuan Wu drew his sword to block the sharp arrows that came frequently, and after a while, the rain of arrows finally stopped.

More than thirty masked killers emerged from the dense forest.

Ji Yanning's eyes sank, looked at Rong Fangyu, and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness has a lot of enemies. ”

Rong Fangyu naturally saw that these killers were coming for him, but Ji Yanning had already been involved, so they would not be able to let go of anyone present.

He said, "I'm sorry to implicate you." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ji Yanning said and climbed into the carriage lightly, and took out her bow and arrow from the gap on the side of the carriage.

"Kill! don't leave a single mouth alive!" shouted the killer leader!

More than thirty assassins with swords in their hands rushed in their direction, with great momentum.

Ji Yanning took out five arrows, put them on the string, his eyes lit up, and then let go! I saw five sharp arrows roaring straight towards them!

"Uh-"

An arrow pierced the throat, and five people fell to the ground at the same time!

The killer and Rong Fangyu were both slightly stunned, Ji Yanning had already put on five sharp arrows again, and the speed was faster than just now!

This time the arrows went out again!The Assassins were alarmed, this time with preparation, three of them dodged her arrows, while the other two died with an arrow through their throats!

Yuan Wu and Jinhe glanced at each other, then raised their swords and stabbed them into the assassin's chest, and then drew their knives and wiped out the neck of the other!

Ji Yanning took out his bow and arrows and continued to shoot at the assassins who were fighting, and it didn't take long for the original more than thirty assassins to be left with only a dozen or so people left, and they all suffered a lot of injuries.

Yuan Wu and Jinhe were also more or less slightly injured.

Seeing that Yuan Wu and Jinhe were so difficult, some assassin targets only looked at Rong Fangyu, and then slashed in the direction of him and Ji Yanning with their swords.

Rong Fangyu's eyes were slightly cold, and then he fought with the assassin empty-handed, and the other assassin immediately raised his sword and stabbed at him!

Their mission was to kill Rong Fangyu.

In such a scuffle, Ji Yanning could only throw the bow and arrow aside, and then pulled out the silver needle and shot it into the assassin's eye!

"Ahh

Seeing that the mission had failed, the mortally wounded Assassin leader shouted, "Withdraw!"

The remaining Assassins fled in all directions, into the dense forest.

Without Ji Yanning's order, Yuan Wu and Jinhe did not rush to catch the mouth.

There was a terrible situation on the ground, and there were many corpses lying on the ground.

The assassin who had been shot in the eye was just about to get up, and a sharp sword was already attached to his neck.

But before the guards could ask questions, the assassin suddenly swallowed the poison, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and died directly, and the last living mouth was gone.

"Miss, are you okay?" asked Yuan Wu.

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "Are you injured?"

Yuan Wudao: "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way." ”

Ji Yanning turned his head to look at Rong Fangyu and said, "Your Royal Highness, if you go out in the future, you should be careful, and it will be safer to bring a few more guards." ”

Rong Fangyu bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you Miss Ji for helping, I will pay attention next time." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Although they ran away, they will kill a horse gun if they can't keep it, let's go back to the city together." ”

Rong Fangyu nodded, and it could only be like this.

Glancing at the corpse on the ground, his eyes were slightly heavy, but he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart.

Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the prince knows who sent these assassins?"

Rong Fangyu glanced at Ji Yanning, for some reason, he knew that Ji Yanning was not a simple person, but he inexplicably felt a sense of kindness.

He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Oh?" Ji Yanning said, "I think it might be someone close to you." ”

Rong Fangyu was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
