Chapter 373: Coming as promised

Ji Yanning glanced sideways, and then returned to his room.

She changed into a black outfit, tied her hair up, and tucked two daggers into her boots.

Yuan Wu knocked softly on the door outside.

Ji Yanning said: "Come in." ”

Yuan Wu walked in lightly and reported: "Miss, everything is ready, the letter has been sent to King Lijun, and it should soon appear in the place we agreed." ”

Ji Yanning's face was expressionless, and he said, "Leave one person to watch Lou Kite closely, and the others will go with me." ”

"Yes. Yuan Wu bowed his head and immediately went down to make arrangements.

When Ji Yanning walked out of the room, Lou Kite's room had already gone out of the candle, and he should have fallen asleep.

She walked out lightly, and then rode out of the inn with Yuan Wu and them.

The night was a little late, and there were still small servants guarding the counter in the inn, and there were actually very few new guests at this hour, so the little ones were lying on their stomachs, and they didn't even notice that Ji Yanning walked out.

It was a little dark in the room, and when she heard the movement outside, Lou Kite opened her eyes.

Her sense of hearing has always been much more sensitive than ordinary people, and some wind and grass can't escape her senses, so when she was in the yard, it was easy to spot those who entered and exited the yard, so she could also avoid people she didn't want to see.

She felt that Ji Yanning was a little strange today, and it seemed that she had been hiding something from herself, and now when she went out, she was afraid that she had already calculated it.

You don't have to guess to know that Rong Wu should have come to a nearby place.

Lou Kite's eyes became deep, she lifted the quilt, curled her hair into her hat, and then opened the door of the guest room.

"Lou girl. One of the guards at the door reached out to stop her.

Lou Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "What about Ji Yanning?"

"The eldest lady has already fallen asleep, if Miss Lou wants to see her, wait for the eldest lady to wake up tomorrow morning. "Guard.

Lou Yuan said: "Don't think I don't know, Ji Yanning has already left." ”

The guard's face did not change and did not answer.

"Get out of the way. Lou Yuan said sharply.

The guard said: "Miss Lou, forgive me, the task is to ensure your safety, it is late at night, it is better not to go out." ”

Lou Yuan said impatiently: "I'm going to find Ji Yanning." ”

The guard said, "No. ”

Lou Kite's eyes looked at the guards and sneered: "If I want to leave, you can't stop me." ”

The guards were unmoved, and still stood in front of the guest room where Lou Kite was, without moving or giving way.

Lou Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so she waved her sleeves and sprinkled a burst of medicinal powder.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and was about to cover his mouth and nose, only to feel a little dizzy in his head.

Lou Kite grabbed the guard, dragged him into the guest room, and threw him to the ground with a backhand push.

The guard only felt dizzy, and wanted to get up but didn't have any strength, so he watched Lou Kite leave the guest room.

Lou Kite hurriedly walked down the lobby, saw that the little maid was still sleeping, and then slipped out of the inn and went to the stable.

She rode out of town.

There was only a bright moon hanging in the sky, which sprinkled the moonlight on the ground and illuminated the dark night.

It also allowed her to see the road clearly, and the horse ride all the way was unimpeded.

However, at this time, Rong Wu had already arrived at the agreed place, which was in a sparsely populated forest.

He also held a letter in his hand, which said that if he wanted to see Lou Kite, he needed to come in person.

It's just that he's been waiting for an hour, and he still hasn't seen anyone nearby.

"The King of the County. One of the guards said, "We've been waiting for more than an hour, is it true that this letter is not true, or are we in the wrong place?"

Rong Wu was a little tired, because he had been on the road for a short time and had received this letter again, whether it was true or not, he couldn't let go of this clue.

He said, "Wait a little longer." ”

When the guards heard his order, they could only continue to wait, but if they continued on such a cold day, they were afraid that they would be frostbitten.

According to the agreement in his heart, he only brought five guards, but in fact, this is only on the surface, and hundreds of other guards are secretly ambushing, so even if someone wants to plot against him, he is naturally not afraid.

In the silence of the night, Rong Wu seemed to hear a lot of horses' hooves, he leaned slightly on the ground and listened, there were about thirty horses.

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly there was a sound piercing the air in the silence of the night, and something was coming in their direction.

Rong Wu frowned and said, "Be careful!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously hid in the big tree on the side, and a sharp arrow went straight into the big tree, with great force.

"Ahh

After a few screams, Rong Wu realized that four of his guards had died, all of them with an arrow through his throat!

Rong Wu's eyes widened, and before he could react, he heard the piercing arrow in his ears again, and this time he reacted quickly and hid directly behind the tree!

And the last guard of his own fell to the ground with an arrow, and another arrow pierced his throat!

Rong Wu's eyes sank.

"Protect the king!" The guards who were lying in ambush on the hill next to them saw this situation and immediately drew their swords and stepped forward.

The guards who suddenly rushed out surrounded Rong Wu and protected him in the middle, while the others patrolled in the direction where the arrow had fired.

Against the light, they saw a group of people on horseback, facing them.

The group of people were all dressed in black and wore scarves, and their faces could not be seen, but the leader was holding a bow and arrow, and his body was very thin, like the figure of a woman.

She was the only one with a bow in her possession, and she was the one who shot the arrow.

Rong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the black-clothed people in front of him, but he didn't find any shadow of Lou Kite.

The guards around him all drew their swords.

Two or three hundred people, trying to deal with these people, already have a lot of advantages in numbers.

Rong Wu opened his mouth and said, "I have come here as agreed, what about the person you are talking about?"

Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said: "According to the agreement, the king of the county is really a noble person who forgets things, I said that I only brought five people, and you hundreds of people came over, which is also called according to the agreement?"

Her voice was very thin, and when she heard it, she knew that it was a young girl, but Rong Wu was a little surprised.

"I just want to see people now!" Rong Wu said to her.

Ji Yanning said coldly: "You didn't follow the agreement, why should I abide by it? So, Lou Kite, you can't see it." ”

Rong Wu's face sank, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"You're looking for death!" he said angrily.

Ji Yanning said: "Looking for death, it's obviously you!"

Her position was on the high slope, looking down at Rong Wu condescendingly, and when she said this, her tone was full of disdain and disgust.
