Ji Chongguang waved half of the wide sleeves of his robe, the sleeves were automatic without wind, and the air flow that his eyes could not see surged towards the figure falling from the sky in mid-air, and with the other hand, he grabbed Chu Ning's wrist and pulled it back, blocking her whole person behind her.

Chu Ning originally thought that the killer who assassinated Ji Chongguang on the street in Lindu in Eastern Qi was already very powerful, but it was not until this time that he knew that there were many killers like him in the Jin Kingdom. Those figures that appeared out of thin air were blocked by Ji Chongguang, and their footsteps were paused, but they soon continued to surround them.

In the wide-open palace window, a woman in an ochre-red dress poked her head out and looked at the not very bright courtyard as if she were watching a bustle. The jeweled ornament that fell from her head glittered in the light of the lamp, and beside her, stood a young prince of the royal family, and a man who looked like a courtier bowed slightly. The man happened to be standing in the backlight, his face falling in the shadows, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Chu Ning hid behind Ji Chongguang and estimated the situation, the prince of the royal family should be Mrs. Li's son Ji Qi, as for the other one, if you guess correctly, it must be someone sent by the Xun family.

Ji Chongguang took the time to say to Chu Ning: "Xun's killer is famous all over the world, isn't the cowhide blown out of plain water, do you see it?" ”

This arrogant questioning tone, you don't have to think about it to know, it must be Ji Chongguang himself.

Chu Ning nodded, and then remembered that he was engrossed in dealing with the killers who gathered around, and he couldn't see it when he nodded, so he said in a small voice: "I'm not blind again, I see it." ”

When the two faced each other, there were few normal conversations, as if they were screaming and scrambling to choke each other to death. Ji Chongguang raised his hand and waved a semicircle in the air with his sleeves, and asked again: "Then do you think you can run away?" When the sleeve fell, the white feather arrow crackled and fell to the ground, and then disappeared again.

Chu Ning was about to reply, "What can't be", and as soon as the word "have" came out of his throat, a killer had already leaned towards the inside, raised the scimitar in his hand, and slashed at the two of them. Ji Chongguang picked up Chu Ning's waist, and swung a few steps backwards under his feet, just dodging it.

The killer made up for it with an expressionless face, and halfway through the movement, he stopped, and suddenly threw out a chain with a hook on the hilt, like the tail of a scorpion, towards Ji Chongguang's throat bone.

The killer looked a little wooden, but he didn't expect the killing action to be smooth and cunning. Chu Ning closed his mouth in amusement, not to trouble Ji Chongguang.

Ji Chongguang dodged sideways again, and the killer's scimitar swung up again, pointing at Ji Chongguang's eyebrows, and when he was about to chop down, he paused again.

Chu Ning had never seen such a killing, as if she was constantly changing her mind every step of the way, if she knew that this was the Xun Clan's recent assassin Wuji, she would not feel strange. Xun's "Six Nothings" have not changed for a long time before, and Wuji became famous in a battle when he entered the "Six Nothings", not to assassinate outsiders, but to kill the assassin who betrayed Xun with his own hands.

At this moment, Wuji's scimitar suddenly changed direction and slashed straight down towards the center of Chu Ning's head.

Wuji's movements were not extremely fast among the Assassins, and even seemed to be slower and slower due to those pauses in the middle of the process. But every time he hit a critical hit, he grasped the timing just right, so that people could clearly see through his intentions, but it was still not so easy to avoid.

Chu Ning was stopped by Ji Chongguang, and there was no way to avoid this knife, and behind Ji Chongguang, two more assassins had already surrounded him, so that he had no time to distract. Ji Chongguang raised one hand, hugged Chu Ning Heng in front of him, and stepped back again, avoiding Wuji's fierce knife, but there was no way to avoid the two people behind him, and the sound of the blade piercing the flesh and blood was very real in the night.

In the brightly lit palace, Mrs. Li was enjoying this hunting scene, I don't know if she also heard the faint sound of hitting, she suddenly let out a chuckle: "Ji Chongguang, when you ran away, I thought you would have some memory, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you would go back to the net." I've been open to you for so many years, and now you're rushing in by yourself, and I'm sorry for your filial piety if I don't kill you. ”

Mrs. Li is nominally Ji Chongguang's mother-in-law, and when she talks like this, she also deliberately embarrass him.

Chu Ning felt that Ji Chongguang's body suddenly tensed, and it was obvious that Mrs. Li's words pierced his hidden pain. She doesn't know much about Ji Chongguang's past, and she can't even compare to the girls in the Dongqi Lindu who secretly think about Ji Chongguang.

In Ji Chongguang's thoughts, only the people he cares about are worthy of his language contacts, and he doesn't even bother to say anything back to Mrs. Li. Pierced by the sharp blade conjured by the spell, the wound was not big at first, but the magic remnants in the wound were still working, and the wound would be pulled deeper and deeper, and the blood would not stop flowing, and it could not heal.

The assassins are getting closer and closer, and the Xun clan has put all the family resources on Mrs. Li's mother and son, and the personnel sent this time are also top-notch.

Ji Chongguang's face was solemn, and he suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl, like a lone wolf in the night, the howling sound carried the overflowing spell, and the bell under the eaves also rang.

After the long roar, a layer of flowing mist gradually rose in the courtyard of the palace, which had a clear line of sight. At first, only dew began to condense on the blade, but gradually, the fog grew larger and larger, obscuring almost everyone's view. The fog had the effect of slowing down and making people move heavily, and the assassins, who had been like ghosts, gradually became unable to distinguish their direction in the thicker and thicker fog.

Mrs. Li's face changed suddenly, and she turned her head and asked the people around her, "What's going on?" Didn't the detective report say that he had no time to practice all these years, and that his magic had not made any progress? ”

The person standing beside Mrs. Li replied without humility or arrogance: "Madam, the investigation report does say so, but the latest investigation report was already four days ago. The magic is mysterious, whether he has obtained any special treasures in these four days, or whether he has improved by leaps and bounds, that is something that no one can guarantee. ”

Mrs. Li was so angry by this reply that it was neither soft nor hard, but she still had to rely on the Xun family now, and she couldn't tear her face, so she had to endure this breath: "At the festival, the news of the king's death will be announced, and Qi'er's accession to the throne will not allow any variables." ”

The man's attitude was respectful and polite, but the words he said were still neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty understands what Madame means, just do your best." ”

He raised his right hand and put one of the rings on his thumb to his lips and blew gently. The Assassins, scattered in the fog, regained clear orders, and while still unable to see their directions, continued to track in the direction they could perceive.

Under the cover of the fog, Ji Chongguang left the palace with Chu Ning all the way. He used to have a bad eye, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when he couldn't see anything clearly, it became a clear advantage.

Once he was in a safe place, he let go of his hand and clasped one palm to his eyes.

Chu Ning intuitively felt that he seemed to have ruined Ji Chongguang's original plan tonight, thinking that he still did not give up on himself at the critical moment, and even the wounds on his body were still bleeding at this time, so he wanted to come forward to take a look for him.

As soon as his footsteps moved, he heard Ji Chongguang's sharp scolding: "What else do you want to do?" ”

Chu Ning was stunned, and his footsteps naturally stopped.

Ji Chongguang's words didn't stop: "I don't understand, what are you going to do when you go to the palace tonight?" I could have killed Mrs. Leigh or her son tonight, but with you in the way, I couldn't have returned. ”

"I'm sorry......" Chu Ning responded, feeling very uncomfortable, having such thoughts is completely different from listening to others reprimanding him like this.

Ji Chongguang paused for a moment, and his tone became indifferent again: "In the past in Eastern Qi, probably I did show some special interest in you, maybe this gave you a misunderstanding and made you think that I was a little unusual to you. That's just because I heard about my mother from other people, and I thought that you are a mother and daughter, probably with similar temperaments, and maybe you are also an open and casual girl, and you don't have to bear any responsibility afterwards. My days in Dongqi are too long, and I look a little boring, and I just need such a person to have a pastime. ”

Chu Ning's eyes widened, this was the first time she had heard a long explanation from Ji Chongguang's mouth, he was always silent before, and he didn't like to talk much. But in this case, it is too hurtful, she is just a person waiting to return to her country for revenge, a pastime when she is bored.

"You accompanied the worries to marry to the Jin Kingdom, I thought you had already been accepted by Jing Huan, so I would tease you, that day I realized that you were still a virgin, and I was very remorseful afterwards," Ji Chongguang continued, "It's just that things have been done, and they can't be reversed, so it's better to wait for me to take the throne in the future, and then use money to make up for you, how about it?" ”

A big tear poured out of Chu Ning's eyes, people who don't talk much on weekdays know best how to use words as knives, where it hurts the most. How could she be pestering him......

"No, I said it a long time ago, just if nothing happened." Chu Ning's voice was as dry as a clump of withered grass in the cold wind. After saying a word, she felt that she could no longer maintain it, so she continued to stay in front of Ji Chongguang like a normal person, turned around and ran.

Behind her, Ji Chongguang replied in a low voice: "That's good." Red blood spilled from between his fingers, falling to the ground drop by drop.

He lowered his hand, blood still flowing from his blood-red eyes, staining his chest and clothes. Those assassins had already caught up again, and he didn't look at it, he waved his sleeves back, and the fierce murderous aura directly twisted the people who rushed to the front into pieces.
