Chapter 218: Silent Death
Jing Yan was able to speak well, and soon told them a few of the plans to repair the emperor's tomb on the second day.
After that, the migrant workers who were in charge of various affairs were arranged to start working, and Jing Yan and Yan Jinxi inspected the imperial tomb.
Jing Yan walked in front and looked around.
Yan Jinxi followed behind him and did not speak.
"It seems that someone is pretending to be a female ghost, so why don't I hand over this errand to you, how about it?" Jing Yan's words broke the silence between the two.
"This ...... No, I'm cowardly, you call someone else for this kind of errand. Yan Jinxi quickly began to excuse himself.
This Jing Yan, I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, she was the one who pretended to be a female ghost yesterday, so how can she check it.
"Yan Jinxi, you are so cowardly." Jing Yan's flawless face was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
Yan Jinxi: "......"
She wanted to argue with this arrogant national teacher, but thinking of the words in Li Jue Yang Xin's mouth last night, Jing Yan was the noble man of their Fu family, and it was he who saved the life of his father's general.
If you haven't repaid the favor, how can you always argue with him?
Jing Yan saw that she had finally quieted down, and his eyes were full of a sense of accomplishment, and he quietly admired her like this.
She wore a tight-fitting dress today, and her upper body was no longer as unobstructed as before.
Oh, this woman, what a cute.
It is undeniable that Jing Yan is becoming more and more interested in her.
Yan Jinxi realized that Jing Yan was staring at herself again.
This Jing Yan really had to take inches, she didn't ask him anything, but walked to the front by herself and didn't look back at him.
Hey, the little girl actually lost her temper. Jing Yan followed......
……
On the evening of this day, the night was as cool as water, and the bright moonlight seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of white yarn on the ground, and Yan Jinxi fell asleep with his clothes early.
I don't know how long I slept, Yan Jinxi had a nightmare, and then woke up from his sleep and shouted: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai......"
But I haven't been able to hear Xiaobai's response for a long time.
Yan Jinxi's first reaction at that time was that something had happened. In the middle of the night, there was no one to see...... Sure enough, as she thought, this little white really has a secret on him.
She put on her own clothes and walked outside. There were only officers and soldiers patrolling outside, and there was no Xiaobai.
Yan Jinxi took a few steps forward, and then found two white shadows behind a large tree.
One is thin and slender, the other is tall and straight.
When she approached, she found that the man was the national teacher Jing Yan, and the woman was her maid Xiaobai.
She knew martial arts, so she kept her voice down to keep them from discovering herself.
How did the two of them end up here? Could it be that the national teacher fell in love with her personal maid, so it was just right, and he just took the opportunity to give Xiaobai to the national teacher.
First, she can repay the kindness of the national teacher, and second, she can also solve the eyeliner that the national teacher planted by her side.
It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, why not.
But the next conversation between the two shocked Yan Jinxi-
"Xiaobai, you have been extra careful these days, protect the safety of your young lady, you can't take it lightly just because you are in the imperial tomb, the Yan family's eyeliner seems to have sneaked into the imperial tomb." Jing Yan explained them one by one.
"Yes, don't worry, my lord, I will protect Miss Jinxi's safety."
"Your martial arts are extremely high, I am naturally relieved, but don't be careless, I have always suspected that the people of the Yan family are hiding among these migrant workers."
……
What the? Xiaobai was actually placed by Jing Yan's side to protect her, instead of spying on her. She is not related to him, why does Jing Yan want to protect herself?
This was her biggest question. The Yan family and the National Teacher's Mansion have always been at odds with each other, and their political views are not in harmony, so Jing Yan really has no reason to help her.
She even suspected that she had misheard......
Or rather, it was a dream, she pinched her arm, there was a pain, it was not a dream.
No wonder Xiaobai often praises this Jing Yan in front of him, Jing Yan is the master behind Xiaobai's scenes.
At this, Yan Jinxi was a little dazed. In order not to be discovered by the two of them, she hid behind the tree and did not leave.
It wasn't until both of them went back that Yan Jinxi returned to his room lightly.
Since Xiaobai didn't mean to plot against her, she could relax her vigilance a little later.
Officers and soldiers on patrol were panting outside, shouting:
"Oh no, no, the national teacher......"
She didn't continue to rest, put on a coat and walked out, and when she went out, Jing Yan was already outside.
"Master Guoshi, there are people h......aunting the newly renovated imperial mausoleum," the officers and soldiers reported the situation to Jing Yanyu, and the faces of the officers and soldiers were full of fear.
Jing Yan said, although he said that he was calm and light, he could still make people shudder: "If you bewitch the people again, your national teacher will drag you out and behead you, how can there be any haunting?" ”
"Yes, the villain doesn't dare to say it anymore." The officer's face was full of fear.
It was the first time Yan Jinxi had seen this Jing Yan's ruthless side, and sure enough, this person was very methodical.
The national teacher Jing Yan led everyone to the haunted place that the officers and soldiers said, and when the group went, they saw a "female ghost" dressed in white between several mausoleums, and her voice was particularly complaining.
"A few of you come forward and catch this person, and whoever catches him will offer a reward of 100 taels of gold." Jing Yan ordered like this.
"Yes......"
Several officers and soldiers of the Imperial Tomb stepped forward and prepared to arrest the woman in white. Unexpectedly, the woman in white was light, and several people still didn't catch her after exhausting their strength.
"Yunyun, you go, don't do things by my side if you can't catch it." At this time, Jing Yan glanced at Yun Yun, the personal guard beside him, and ordered.
"Yes." As he spoke, Yun rushed to the front, his figure as fast as lightning, so he quickly subdued the woman in white.
Yun escorted the woman in white to Jing Yan, only to find that she had committed suicide by taking poison.
Before he died, he also left a sentence, Jing Yan, Yan Jinxi can't die well.
Yan Jinxi looked at the woman's face, her face was full of grievances, and she really didn't know what this person had experienced before.
"Yunyun, you will inquire about the origin of this woman." Jing Yan coldly ordered.
On the way back, Yan Jinxi kept thinking about the words of the woman in white, was it just to curse herself when she mixed into the imperial tomb so aggressively? At that moment, Yan Jinxi was a little sad......
"Yan Jinxi, don't pay attention to these people." Jing Yan took the initiative to come up and say to her, with a rare gentleness in his tone, "As an official in the Chu State, it is inevitable that you will offend some people, such as me, people often come to assassinate me, so what, just accompany them to frolic for a while." ”
Jing Yan is still so light and light, whether this man is too detached or unfathomable.
She couldn't see him clearly, just like in her previous life, she couldn't see Shen Luo clearly.
"You're right." Yan Jinxi replied to him.
………
"Master Guoshi, something happened again." An officer and soldier guarding the imperial tomb came to report to the front.
"What?" Jing Yan was still calm.
"The migrant workers who repaired the emperor's mausoleum were clamoring to leave, saying that this place was not peaceful, and that every once in a while they were haunted, and that their lives mattered." The officers and men on patrol trembled and reported the situation, for fear that some uncertain national teachers would be angry with them.
"Okay, I'll come now." The national teacher had just walked a few steps, saw Yan Jinxi behind him, and said, "You and I go with me to see the situation." ”
"No, Xiaobai and I are here to relax, it's enough for you to deal with the situation." Yan Jinxi couldn't raise her interest at all, and looked listless.
The national teacher Jing Yan couldn't resist her, so she had to go.
For a while, only she and Xiaobai were left here.
"Xiaobai, who do you say I offended? The woman in white came for me. Yan Jinxi asked.
"Miss is kind-hearted, she definitely didn't offend anyone, there should be some misunderstanding." The maid Xiaobai comforted her softly.
Oh, that's true. No matter who she is, as long as she can't help but trouble her, then she will play with them to the end.
In this life, she will no longer live like a fool like in her previous life, without any city, and will be played around.
"Who is it?" Sharp, she sensed someone behind her.
When I looked closely, she was surrounded by people in black, all of whom were extremely strong, and each of them was holding a long sword in their hands, which glowed white in the light of the bright moon, which was particularly terrifying......
"You don't care who I am, you can ask Hades these questions." The leader of the men in black was especially arrogant.
The group of men in black began to laugh at her:
"Haha, it's really interesting, I can't help myself."
……
At this time, Yan Jinxi understood that this was actually the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and deliberately lured Jing Yan away in order to better deal with her.
Oh, what a sinister ploy.
"Miss, you quickly find a way to leave, and Xiaobai will deal with them here." Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaobai shouted.
"No, deal with them together."
Yan Jinxi said and began to face these men in black...... In her previous life, she was the daughter of the General's Mansion and was quite proficient in martial arts, but now after being reborn, fortunately, she brought this martial arts to Yan Jinxi's body.
It's just that these men in black are menacing, and they are not idle people one by one.
Yan Jinxi and Xiaobai dealt with these black-clothed people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaobai whistled, which was the signal that she had contacted the National Teacher's Mansion.
Seeing that he was gradually defeated, Yan Jinxi's short knives fell into the hands of the enemy, Xiaobai was really strong in martial arts, but he was outnumbered, and the woman's own strength was small, Xiaobai was also at a disadvantage.
……
"Big brother, the explanation above is to let her die quietly."
"Yes, let's kill her as soon as possible, and we'll be done with the mission."
The boss of the gang walked towards her with a knife and was about to put the dagger to her neck.
It's not that she's afraid of death, it's that she can't die at all, and she was finally reborn in a lifetime, how could she be assassinated for no reason before the Fu family's revenge was avenged!
