Things are going in an unknown direction.

originally wanted Chu Jinshi and Ji Junyao to sleep a little longer, after all, Chu Jinshi didn't sleep all night last night, and he, as a subordinate, was not unreasonable, Ji Junyao had an accident, so they could only listen to Chu Jinshi's words.

But now, I have to wake up Chu Jinshi.

"Your Highness." Shang appeared on the side of the bed, looking at the two people who were still hugging each other, Ji Junyao's complexion was much better, but it was Chu Jinshi,

Even if you lower your head, you can see the exhaustion on Chu Jinshi's face.

Chu Jinshi moved his head, and his brows, which were also tightly furrowed in his sleep, tightened a few more points.

Shang called again, Chu Jinshi slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of impatience in his obsidian eyes, moved his sore shoulders, carefully pulled his arm out from under Ji Junyao's head, and after half-squinting his eyes and trying to see who the person standing in front of him was, Chu Jinshi said in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?" ”

"Two of the people who went out to investigate came back." Shang paused for a moment, and after making sure that Chu Jinshi was completely awake, he said, "One is dead, one is crazy, and the other two have not come back yet." ”

"One is dead? A crazy? Chu Jinshi was slightly shocked, not to mention what they encountered in the back mountain, just these secret guards of Ji Junyao, one by one martial arts is not under him, overnight, one died a crazy one, and two life and death are uncertain, what kind of people are hidden in the back mountain?

Chu Jinshi tucked the quilt for Ji Junyao, and walked out before saying, "People are there, take me over to have a look." ”

First took Chu Jinshi to the place where he was sealed, his body was still seen in the street, everyone knew that people who died like this were usually highly poisonous, so no one dared to step forward easily, Chu Jinshi was stopped by Shang when he went to check: "Your Highness, the corpse is highly poisonous, don't get too close." ”

Chu Jinshi nodded slightly in response, walked to a distance half a step away from the corpse and stopped, a foul smell made Chu Jinshi frown, this smell was also smelled at the bottom of the mountain yesterday, but because it took a long time to be run by the river, the smell was not very strong, and looking at his death, it was not much different from the corpses seen at the bottom of the mountain.

It turned out to be poisoned too.

The scars on his body, large and small, would prove that he had fought before he died, but now it seems that he had failed and died the same way as the villagers.

It can be said that he is the closest to the truth, but often, the closer he gets, the more dangerous he becomes.

"Where's the other one?"

Shang Gang wanted to answer, but the crazy person who was running around in the village happened to run back from nowhere at this time, and he was running towards Chu Jinshi like crazy.

He was also scarred, he should have had a fight, this is the second person to get close to the truth, and he got out by luck.

But it's crazy.

"Ahh Come on! ....”

"Catching up! Snake! ”

He was still shouting those two words in his mouth, and when Chu Jinshi wanted to step forward and point at his acupoint, he remembered what Shang said to him, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Chu Jinshi stabbed a stone on the ground, clamped it between his hands, and threw the stone out at the right time.

To Chu Jinshi's surprise, the stone hit his acupuncture point accurately, but he only paused, and then continued to run forward stupidly.

It doesn't work?!

What kind of poison is so domineering, I can't even perceive the acupuncture points.

Chu Jinshi immediately ordered, "Catch him quickly, remember not to touch him with your hands!" ”

The three secret guards appeared at the same time, and one of them grabbed a rope and began to wrap it, taking the person down.

The man struggled in the rope like a caged beast in pain, and roared with a hideous face, "Let go of me!" Come on! ”

Chu Jinshi asked him in a deep voice, "What did you meet?!" Why run?! ”

"Run! Yes! Ghosts! There are snakes! ”

"What the hell! What a snake! Chu Jinshi shouted and asked, "What did you see on the back mountain?!" ”

"Don't ask..."The man seemed to calm down a little, his eyes gradually became frightened, he didn't know where he was looking, he drooped out of his mouth, and said in horror: "I don't know... I do not know... They're dead.... They're all dead! ”

"A ghost that I came across somewhere in the back mountain!" Pretend to be a ghost! Chu Jinshi never believed in any ghosts and gods, only said! When they see a ghost, it means that someone did it on purpose!

"Where...," she seemed to think hard, "yes! Right! In its belly! ”

Chu Jinshi was about to die, "Where is it, where is the back mountain!" ”

"In... Belch! Suddenly, the arrow silently pierced into his heart.

And that's just what happened in a split second!

Even Chu Jinshi didn't react!

"Not good! Pursue! "Shang pulls out his feet and chases.

Chu Jinshi quickly looked in the direction where the dark arrow was shot, and saw a figure quickly flashing behind the tree, accompanied by a strange whistle, Chu Jinshi instantly sensed that something was wrong, "You guys stop!" I'm going to chase! You protect the county lord. ”

Without waiting for the three secret guards to speak, Chu Jinshi had already flown in after him.

The man in black in front seemed to be waiting for him intentionally, but the speed was maintained at a speed that Chu Jin couldn't catch up, and the corners of Chu Jin's mouth hooked lightly when he followed behind him, and he didn't chase with all his might, he knew that the person in front of him was leading him to a place.

There is a dead end in front of you, the magnificent waterfall hangs on the cliff in front, the sound of the water plays a thin splash and a cool wind, the further you go, the more you feel the air is getting brighter and brighter, with a slight humidity and sweetness, I didn't know that there would be such a good scenery between such poor mountains and remote areas.

The man stopped in front of the waterfall in front of him, and stood with his hands in his hands, indifferent.

Chu Jinshi caught up, stood side by side with him, and said, "This is indeed a good place to talk. ”

"If the poetry is right, this kind of scenery is more suitable." The man turned, raised his hand and removed the black mask from his face, "But we're not. ”

He looks very ordinary, and he can be forgotten at a glance in the street, although he is very ordinary, but his eyes are shrewd, Chu Jinshi hugged his fists and said politely: "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

"Yizhou." He answered honestly.

Yizhou?

Even on the rivers and lakes, Chu Jinshi has never heard of this name, is he not a person in the rivers and lakes?

As if he knew what Chu Jinshi was thinking, Yi Zhou said: "If you don't know me, you should be, we stretched out of the darkness, and the people who generally know our names are dead." ”

"But I'm alive, and I'm honored." Chu Jinshi felt that this incident became more and more interesting, "Why did you assassinate Ji Junyao?" Or are you targeting his brother? ”

Yi Zhou said with a smile: "Your Highness is a smart person, and I also know that Ji Rufei is now attracting forces from all sides, and Prince Chu and your faction are one of the ones who can confront him." ”

"One?" Chu Jinshi chuckled: "You can see the pattern of Southern Chu clearly, I am more and more curious, you, what kind of person and what kind of organization are you." ”

"Has Your Highness ever heard of the Six-Star Flower?"

"Six-star flowers? A six-star flower order that can mobilize the forces of the three parties? "I didn't expect it to be involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, this Ji Rufei is really the right thing in the rivers and lakes, and there is his shadow everywhere.

"Not bad." Yi Zhou took out a palm-sized token from his arms and handed it to Chu Jinshi: "This is the double star token in the six-star flower, and the remaining two tokens..."

"In Ji Rufei's hands?" Chu Jinshi didn't wait for him to finish speaking.

"Yes, the remaining single stars and three stars are in Ji Rufei's hands."

Next, it is not difficult to guess, Ji Rufei, Ji Rufei, your ambition is really not ordinary.

This six-star flower order has always been a proof of agreement with the rivers and lakes, and the three tokens are engraved with the patterns of one star, two stars, and three stars, which represent the three forces in the rivers and lakes of Southern Chu.

The tripartite forces represented by Pingnan Tianhai Sect, Ba Xingwu Tiange, and Qidu Jile Castle will elect the best of the tripartite power balance every five years, and get three six-star flowers to dominate the rivers and lakes, that is to say, as long as all three pieces are collected, the rivers and lakes will be under the leadership of Ji Rufei.

And now, Ji Rufei already has two pieces.

Chu Jinshi asked, "I don't know which of the three forces Your Excellency represents. ”

"Wutian Pavilion."

The most mysterious party among the three forces, but he didn't expect it to be a killer organization, "So you want to force Ji Rufei to show his flaws by kidnapping Ji Junyao so that he can get the other two pieces in his hands?" ”

Chu Jinshi said: "Your method is not very glorious. ”

Yi Zhou smiled bitterly: "Now the forces in the rivers and lakes are the only ones left for us to support hard, and if we want to fight with Ji Rufei in the open, there is only a dead end." ”

"I'm afraid it's reluctant to find me."

"We can now say that we are a grasshopper on a rope, there is hope for cooperation, I know the purpose of your trip, and it is not easy to win over Meng Qi." Yi Zhou's eyes were extremely serious when he looked at Chu Jin: "Otherwise, Southern Chu will change the dynasty, and the rivers and lakes will no longer be rivers and lakes." ”

"I'm more curious about why I killed that person just now." Finally, there were some clues, but they were interrupted by this person, and they were still a little angry when they imagined Chu Jin.

Yi Zhou threw a small porcelain bottle from Chu Jinshi and said: "It's not a good thing to like Ji Rufei's sister last year, it is easy to affect your judgment, this is a medicine to restrain the toxins in her body, you still let Ji Rufei's people go to the drudgery of going into the mountains to find someone, and you will die in vain if you go." “

Listening to his meaning, he seems to know what happened in the back mountain.

Chu Jinshi immediately asked, "Do you know about the back mountain?" ”

Yi Zhou spread his hands helplessly: "I know, there are some people hiding in the mountain, it seems that they are arresting some villagers to make some medicines, I also want to investigate clearly, but I have lost a lot of people, and now I have to withdraw if I am about to fight against Ji." ”

"How? Cooperation? ”

"Of course." Chu Jinshi raised the corners of his mouth, this transaction is not a loss, everyone just takes what they need, "But I have one condition." ”

"What conditions."

"In this fight, don't hurt innocent people."

Yi Zhou chuckled: "Is Your Highness telling me that you are not allowed to hurt Ji Junyao?" ”

He didn't say that, Chu Jinshi frowned, and looked at Yi Zhou very unhappily, but he didn't refute it, as if he had seen through his heart, but he didn't want to admit it: "Farewell." ”
