Chapter 62: Followers
Cheng Xiaoxiao was taken aback, how could she have thought that Ji Erlan had such a ability, she held the long whip tightly in her hand, but she didn't dare to make a move. Seeing that the guards were put down by Ji Erlan one by one, he subconsciously stepped back: "Ji Erlan, don't mess around, I am the daughter of the Cheng family, and you are just the daughter of a six-rank official, do you dare to kill me?" β
"Really?" Ji Erlan pierced the last man in black and turned to look at Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Do you really think I don't dare?" β
"Ji Erlan, you kill me, you Ji family, no one wants to live!"
Ji Erlan approached step by step, and the coldness in her voice could almost freeze three feet: "Oh? What if I don't kill you and scratch your face? β
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, watching the bone knife in Ji Erlan's hand gradually approaching, and the arrogant posture of the past collapsed in an instant: "You are crazy!" β
"You shouted and killed me mercilessly, I just wanted to leave a trace on you and call me crazy?" Ji Erlan looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao's expression of embarrassment and fear, and squinted her eyes with great enjoyment.
"You dare?!"
"Of course I dare." Ji Erlan looked at her contemptuously, wiped the blood stains of the bone knife in his hand on Cheng Xiaoxiao's delicate cheeks, and said with a smile: "Didn't you already hear my words?" β
"You ......" Cheng Xiaoxiao's face turned blue and white for a while, and she couldn't wait to bite Ji Erlan's neck and tear her to pieces, but unfortunately, it was herself who was controlled by others at this time! She was afraid that if she moved, the blade would cut a scar on her face.
"You know you're scared?" Ji Erlan gently moved the bone knife, and the slender blade shone with cold light, reflecting in her pupils full of play. "Since you know that you are afraid, I will ask, you answer, honestly and clearly, and I will let you go."
"You're going to talk the talk!" Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyelashes kept trembling, and she looked at the knife on her face, and when she saw Ji Erlan nodding, she asked, "You...... What do you want to know? β
"Do you know what I'm doing here?"
"I saw you in Fanlou today, and I vaguely heard you talking about the Liu family, so I asked people to go to Ji Tianjiao and ask about your whereabouts, and the girl next to her said that you were not in the house in the afternoon, and I don't know where you went. I guess you want to meddle in this, so you're going to ambush you here. β
"Ambush me?" Ji Erlan smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, "You want to kill me so much?" β
"I didn't really want to kill you!" Cheng Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and said aggrievedly: "I just want to catch you and teach you a lesson!" The last time I caught a rat and bit you, I didn't know that the plague would have such serious consequences......"
Ji Erlan sneered: "Miss Cheng is really naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world. I won't talk about the previous things again. You didn't know that you were being used this time? β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Although you know that I may meddle in the affairs of the Liu Mansion, and you guess that I may go to save Li Chaosheng, how did you know that Li Chaosheng was locked up near here, so you came here to ambush me?"
"Yes......" Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned, thought for a while and said: "It's when I was in women's school today, Yuan Rui listened to the maid next to Yan Lingtian unintentionally say ......"
"Unintentionally? Are you sure? Ji Erlan said: "I'm afraid she has long noticed that my eldest brother wants to be nosy, so she investigated the affairs of the Liu family in advance, and deliberately revealed the news to you, wanting to use you to stir up the situation and deal with me." β
"How so? You have nothing to do with her......" Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned. In her heart, people who have had a holiday with her are naturally crushed everywhere, and if it's none of her business, she doesn't bother to take a look.
Ji Erlan smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Cheng is still a person who loves and hates clearly. β
"Hmph, that's nature." Cheng Xiaoxiao's willow eyebrows frowned, and suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that she is for the king??" You mean, she wants to borrow my hand against you because she hates you? β
Ji Erlan smiled again: "It seems that Miss Cheng is not stupid. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and then she gritted her teeth and said: "I poured well water with Yan Ling and didn't violate the river water, she actually used me!" β
Cheng Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of the Wang family, and no one will disobey her if she wants anything since she was a child, and even thinks that as long as your identity is lower than her, you can kill at will. Ji Erlan said: "Miss Cheng thinks so, but there are many implications between the four major clans, is it true that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and each one is okay?" It is common to use each other to suppress each other. Miss Cheng is so well protected at home that she doesn't even understand this, no wonder she is being used. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao said angrily: "I will give Yan Ling a good look!" β
Ji Erlan took the bone knife away from her face, feeling that Cheng Xiaoxiao was just a spoiled young lady of the family. said: "I advise Miss Cheng, just assume that today's incident has not happened, you are not Yan Lingtian's opponent." β
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that the cold blade was finally taken away, she covered her face, and was bored for a long time before she said: "You killed so many of my guards, let's settle it, I won't trouble you again in the future." β
Ji Erlan smiled, noncommittal. "I'm leaving, Miss Cheng is so self-conscious......" Before she finished speaking, she felt the sound of Jin Ming coming with a strong wind on her side, she grabbed Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly, rolled on the spot, and dodged the hidden weapon.
Ji Erlan took a deep breath and held the bone knife across his chest, but there was no movement around.
Cheng Xiaoxiao got up from the ground, her face turned pale with fright, and she looked at the two hidden weapons stuck in the wall tiles in a daze. "Poisonous?"
There was a faint blue light flashing on the hidden weapon, a dagger, and a flying star.
Ji Erlan nodded: "The other party missed a blow and left quickly, obviously afraid of revealing his identity." Yan Lingtian was unwilling after all, not only was she exposed in front of herself today, but she also watched King Du protect her, and it was indeed her style of doing things to kill a horse gun.
Ji Erlan's skills have not yet recovered, although she practices hard every day and never slackens, but in the end, the time is still short, and the strength of this body is still too far from her peak. At this time, against the enemy, she relied on experience and skill to win, and she had no strength at all. If Yan Lingtian was fully prepared, she might not be so lucky.
Cheng Xiaoxiao stood stupidly for a while, still unbelievable, other people's advice is never as true as she has seen with her own eyes, she really realizes that she is delicate and willful at this moment, and she is too far behind those cruel and vicious people. "Could it really be Yan Lingtian? How dare she? How dare she kill me! β
"Now can you be sure I didn't lie to you? As long as it is hidden, who knows that it is her hand. There is nothing to talk about whether you dare to kill or not. She pointed to the two different killing weapons and said: "The other party's intentions are obvious, if you and I die here today, others can probably say that we have already had a conflict and killed each other to death." β
Today is really a wave of unsettled waves, and Ji Erlan is not iron-clad, and he feels tired......
Cheng Xiaoxiao saw that Ji Erlan turned around to leave, and hurriedly stopped her, and her always arrogant and unreasonable look was a little twisted at this moment: "Thank you for saving me...... I'm always looking for trouble for you, and you can ignore your past ......."
Ji Erlan waved her hand to show that it didn't matter, but Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped her again: "...... Well, can you send me back...... I, I'm scared ......"
Ji Erlan couldn't cry or laugh: "Miss Cheng, I still have something." β
"Or I'll go with you!" Cheng Xiaoxiao had completely lost confidence in her little kung fu at this time, she was afraid that Ji Erlan would be reluctant, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I definitely won't talk about it with others, and I'm with you, we are accomplices, and you're not afraid that I will leak this thing because you did it, aren't you?" β
Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows and said, "This is not a good thing. Besides, the assassin just now may not have retreated, but is still waiting in the shadows to make a move, if you follow me, I may not be able to help you out of danger at that time. β
"But, I'm going back alone, what if someone wants to kill me and blame you?" Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that Ji Erlan was extremely reliable at this time, and promised repeatedly: "Moreover, maybe I can help you too, that Lord Liu is just a royal envoy, or a deputy, he doesn't dare to offend my father!" You let it go, and if something happens, I'm not going to sit idly by. β
"I didn't go to Liu's house to shout and kill, and I don't need you to suppress people with power. If you want to follow, just follow, but say in advance, don't get me into trouble, be obedient. β
Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly: "I'll follow you, absolutely nothing superfluous!" β
Ji Erlan was speechless, Cheng Xiaoxiao, a weasel who has never been well-intentioned, was actually domesticated?
At this moment, in the Duwang Mansion, Lei Ze had his back straight, and he stood without squinting for more than an hour, waiting for the master's question with a panicked expression.
After another cup of tea, Yang Zhen finally put aside the things in his hand and looked up at him: "You don't have anything to explain?" β
Lei Ze saw the sweat on his head and said, "My subordinates are sincere and loyal to their masters...... Heaven and earth can be seen, and the sun and moon can be ......"
"Alright." Yang Zhen snorted lightly, looked at him and said bluntly: "The last time this king went to worship his mother, he noticed the strangeness between you and Ji Erlan, she seems to be very familiar with you, do you have something to hide from me?" β
"Huh?" Razor sweated even more fiercely, and stammered, "Subordinate...... How dare subordinates deceive their masters......"
"Humph!" Yang Zhen's face froze: "Don't dare? So what are you doing now? This king has given you opportunities again and again, and you still don't know what is wrong, in this case, from now on, you don't have to serve in front of this king! β
"Lord Wang!" Lei Ze hurriedly knelt down: "My subordinates have never done anything to be sorry for the prince." No matter what the subordinates do, it is for the sake of the prince......"
"Oh? Then tell the king, what have you done for the king? β
Lei Ze had a bitter gourd face, muttering in his heart that it was all caused by Miss Ji, and said: "My subordinates are thinking about the prince's heirs and reputation......
Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows and kicked Lei Ze: "This king doesn't even have a backyard, how can it be related to the heir?" Not to mention fame? β
