Chapter 41: Black and White
Jiang Yichen, who was carrying Ji Ying on his back, didn't expect that these black-clothed killers were bold enough to dare to continue killing people during the day, and they were so close to the capital.
Jiang Yichen shook his shoulders vigorously a few times, but Ji Ying did not wake up. Jiang Yichen put her under the tree, but she still didn't wake up. Jiang Yichen sighed helplessly: "Ji Ying, you pig - it's okay." ”
Jiang Yichen stood in front of Ji Ying and pulled out his long sword against these gangsters who were careless of human life and fearless.
This time, the number of killers has been significantly reduced, but the number of people is well arranged. Fortunately, not long after the fight began, Dong Jiu didn't know where to come out of nowhere to help, reducing the burden on Jiang Yichen.
"Sleeping Buddha" Ji Ying finally woke up in the noisy shouting of killing. She looked around blankly, thinking she was dreaming. When the killer's big knife flew over and was caught by Jiang Yichen, Ji Ying realized that this was not a dream, and the sound of weapons colliding shook her headache. She hurriedly stood up, picked up a steel knife on the ground, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and under the wing protection of Jiang Yichen and Dong Jiu, she clinged to the big tree, nervously watching the battle situation in front of her.
Suddenly, dozens of masked men in white clothes and white robes, armed with various weapons, rushed over from all directions. There was a momentary pause in the fight because these people joined. Neither side knew who these men in white were.
The white-clothed leader, wearing a butterfly-shaped mask, who stood on the dirt slope in the distance, shouted "kill", and all the white-clothed people scuffled with the black-clothed people. Jiang Yichen and Dong Jiu didn't know why, and for the sake of prudence, they surrounded Ji Ying and treated everyone in front of them vigilantly.
Ji Ying said quietly: "Little prince, is this the guard you arranged?" Dress up for something special. I've never seen a swaggering guard dressed in white. ”
Jiang Yichen slashed in front of him: "I haven't seen it either." ”
"Huh?"
"It's not my person."
"Huh? So who sent this? ”
"I don't know."
Ji Ying is blinded, looking at the combat effectiveness of these people in white, it is obviously above the people in black, and there are many people, it won't be "just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den", right?
The battle ended quickly. Most of the people in black were killed, and some people who wanted to escape, there were also many people in white who chased them. Thinking about the reincarnation of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. The man in white didn't seem to be interested in Jiang Yichen and them, so he hugged his fist and withdrew from the woods with a "whew".
The leader of the white-clothed men on the dirt slope did not leave immediately. He performed a light feat, and jumped in front of the three people. Because he covered his face, he couldn't see his appearance, only a sword pinned to his waist, and a jade sword spike like a drop of water hung on the hilt.
The three of them saluted together, and Jiang Yichen asked: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname, Jiang will try his best to repay the grace of saving his life in the future." ”
The man returned the salute, handed a token-like thing to Jiang Yichen, and said, "In the lower districts, the rivers and lakes are scattered, and they don't dare to bother King Xiaohuai. We started tracking down the killers last night and got the nameplate from one of their leaders. Perhaps it will provide clues for your follow-up. ”
"Thank you!" Since the other party is unwilling to reveal his true identity, Jiang Yichen will not force it, because he feels that there will be many opportunities to meet this person in the future.
The man in white turned to Ji Ying, squinting, as if looking for some answer: "Your Excellency is the new champion Ji Yingji?" ”
Ji Ying was dressed upright, cleared his throat, tried to show more masculinity, and arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to use the word 'adult', under Ji Ying." ”
The man in white looked at it for a long time, silent, and finally said "There will be a period later", which was regarded as farewell, and then disappeared into the dense forest.
Jiang Yichen asked Ji Ying: "It seems that this person is coming for you." Think about it, where have you ever seen this dress? ”
Ji Ying thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen it." ”
Ji Ying naturally hadn't seen it, because this white-clothed leader was the one who hid in the plantain garden when Ji Ying revisited the Ji family's old house.
It's finally safe. Ji Ying asked Jiang Yichen: "What nameplate did that person give you just now?" ”
Jiang Yichen opened his hand and showed a polished old nameplate, with the word "Han" engraved on the front and the word "shadow" engraved on the back, and a red tassel falling under the nameplate.
Ji Ying fiddled with it a few times, touched the tassel and said, "Look at this tassel, is it very familiar?" Like the one we picked up in the Han Zhanghou Mansion? ”
Jiang Yichen looked at it for a moment and said, "It's really like it." ”
"Do you recognize this nameplate?"
"I don't recognize it, but I guess someone does. You can rest assured about this, wrap it up on me. ”
Xiao Huaiwang has great powers, and Ji Ying is of course relieved. She looked at the corpses on the ground and was very frightened, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "This place is too terrifying, let's hurry into the city." ”
Jiang Yichen intervened and asked Ji Ying: "You look like this, how do you plan to enter the city?" ”
"I ...... I don't know. Do you have an idea? ”
"Will you ride a horse with me?"
"Nope! I don't want to ride a horse! "Ji Ying is afraid to ride a horse.
"Wait," Dong Jiu, who had been silent, interrupted them, pointed at Ji Ying and asked, "I've long wondered, how did Ji Ying become like this?" Resemble...... Like a girl. ”
Jiang Yichen sneered, patted Dong Jiu's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Jiu, we can't say anything about this night. You can understand that Ji Ying had bad luck and fell into a small pool, and then became a girl. ”
Although Dong Jiu was dull and silent, he was by no means stupid, he looked at Ji Ying's embarrassed expression, and probably guessed some reasons, but he couldn't believe it. He said, "The carriage we used last night is still there, so why don't you take the carriage back to Lord Ji." ”
"It's okay, hehe, it's okay."
"There is one thing I almost forgot to tell Master Ji," Dong Jiu said, "When Brother Duanmu was fighting with those people last night, he felt that the other party's moves were very similar to the people who chased him a year ago, so he called the brother of the dart game, followed the clues, and probably had to stay outside for a few more days, and let my little prince take care of you when he left." He can't wait for you, let me talk to you. ”
"Let me take care of it?" Jiang Yichen pointed to his nose and protested, "Why did you leave it to me again?" Did he go through my consent? ”
Dong Jiu said: "I took the initiative to apply for you for the errand of taking care of Lord Ji. The so-called capable people work hard, so don't shirk it. ”
Ji Yingle accepted Dong Jiu's kindness: "Okay, thank you Brother Xiaojiu." I wonder if my brother Duanmu is injured? ”
"It seems like there's a minor injury to the arm."
"It's fine. What about nomadic wilds? ”
"It's only a minor injury, it's not in the way, and I'm already home."
"Thank you for informing me."
Jiang Yichen sent Ji Ying to the car and sent it to the city gate, and was cleverly sending someone to pick it up, so he asked Ji Ying to follow the person back.
Seeing Ji Ying go back, Jiang Yichen asked Dong Jiu: "Along the way, what's wrong with the nomadic field?" ”
"Nothing out of the ordinary. The killers didn't seem to want to let him go, and we were attacked very violently. I can't understand this number of roads. Dong Jiu replied with a twisted eyebrow.
"Who is this nomadic field?"
"Do you want to torture?"
"Don't touch him yet. Although this person behaved strangely, he had no intention of harming Ji Ying, otherwise with his understanding of this matter, he would not have stopped Ji Ying from taking risks at all, let alone following. Moreover, although he has a vague background in the court, he is still very influential in the rivers and lakes, and we can't make enemies, nor can we startle snakes. ”
"So what now?"
"Well, I'll go to the saint first. With so many people dead, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will definitely investigate, and His Majesty will definitely know. You send two men to spy on the nomadic and see who he will be in contact with in the next two days, remember, don't interfere. ”
"Good!" Dong Jiu is neat, and he has to do things.
"Wait!" Jiang Yichen called Dong Jiu.
"What else?"
Jiang Yichen said: "You help me bring a few words to Ji Ying." He whispered a few words in Dong Jiu's ear.
Dong Jiu's face was a little unnatural, and he asked, "Is it appropriate for you to be like this?" Are you sure you're taking care of people? ”
Jiang Yichen looked like a decent man and a gentleman: "I'm doing this for her good." Go, go! ”
Early the next morning, Ji Ying, who had slept for a while, woke up and received a thunderbolt on a sunny day: Dong Jiu passed Jiang Yichen's words, saying that Duanmu Lingfeng had been absent recently, and asked her to follow Jiang Yichen to learn martial arts from today.
When will it end?
Look at Jiang Yichen's mood.
Learn! Military!
