Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodbye, Senior Brother
The quicksand had come to Gai Nie's side, and saw a horse, no one in the saddle, but a cloth bag was still tied to it.
Gagnie stood on top of the thick branches, clinging to the trunk, slowing his breath and hiding his murderous aura. He could feel the murderous aura of the quicksand people standing below, and the aura of the five people who were also hiding by the other branches.
Wei Zhuang slowly approached the horses, and reached out to stroke the brown horses, which were very well-behaved, not barking or making trouble. Wei Zhuang opened the cloth bag on the saddle and took out one of the bracelets inside.
"It is! Agarwood bracelet! Ning Shuang could see at a glance that this important thing belonged to the Ghost Valley, "This string should be Brother Nie's." ”
Wei Zhuang still didn't move, and Gai Nie was a little worried about whether he really couldn't escape the confrontation with Xiao Zhuang this time. He raised his eyes and saw the white feathers floating in front of him. His pupils widened slightly, then returned to normal, and he held his breath as the white feathers drifted gently and finally landed smoothly on the branches.
Gai Nie knew that Bai Feng had already suspected that there was someone in the tree, so he used this trick to detect. The white feather is very light, and the slightest breath and murderous aura will cause it to deviate from its previous position, and thus land where it should not be.
Bai Feng, who was standing on the ground, looked around, then smiled easily and looked towards Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at his men, and then nodded.
"Huh!"
Bai Feng appeared in front of a tree branch and smiled at the Assassin of the Net, who was still looking cautiously backwards, and the man saw the ghostly smile in his peripheral vision, and then his throat was slitted by a sharp blade.
The chained sword slowly climbed up the other trunk, piercing the heart before the netted assassin could unleash his sword.
"Hey!" Ning Shuang shouted to the assassin below, and the assassin looked up, but there was movement in his ears, "You're still not suitable to be an assassin." He looked down and saw a twig stuck in his chest.
The screams of their companions in the distance made the faces of the two remaining Assassins pale, and they glanced at each other, preparing to flee. They jumped from branch to branch, and they were about to hide in the darkness that they couldn't see, but they saw a man walk out of there. It turned out to be their boss, Zhao Gao.
"Your Excellency......" The two quickly knelt on the ground.
There was a "poof", and an Assassin fell to the ground. The other did not dare to raise his head, they knew that they were not in a good position, and they did not dare to quibble.
"My lord, spare your life." He looked up tremblingly, but saw an invisible face hidden under his hood.
"Ah!!h
The quicksand crowd looked into the darkness in response, and there was movement behind them.
"Drive!" Gai Nie had fled from here, riding away on Wei Zhuang's horse, "Ride! ”
"Lord Wei Zhuang......" Chi Lian and Bai Feng wanted to set off to catch up, so they asked Wei Zhuang.
"No need." Wei Zhuang stretched out his hand and took out one of the remaining items from the cloth pocket left by Gai Nie, which was a piece of bamboo. There are four words written on it: Xiaozhuang, thank you.
Wei Zhuang grabbed it in his hand and grabbed it hard, and the bamboo pieces turned into crumbs and scattered everywhere with the wind.
Goodbye, brother.
There were still two days before the envoy of Yan State came to visit, and as Ying Zheng expected, Gai Nie returned to Xianyang Palace as scheduled.
"Gagnie, what did you find?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the Yan Kingdom this time is named Jing Ke, and with him is his entourage Qin Wuyang."
"Jing Ke...... Is there anything special about this person? Ying Zheng heard Li Si talk about this person, but he deliberately asked again.
"He is a person that Prince Yan Dan trusts extremely much," Gai Nie said truthfully, "According to rumors, he has good martial arts. ”
Ying Zheng's two thick eyebrows were locked, and he looked thoughtful.
"Is he good with his martial arts?"
Gai Nie raised his eyes to look at Ying Zheng's serious expression, and then said, "The minister doesn't know. ”
"The widow thinks it's enough for you to be guarded."
"The ministers will do their best to ......"
"Very good, what is Qin Wuyang?"
"Just a teenager, but he killed people when he was twelve."
"Okay, the widow knows, Gai Nie, you go down first and have a good rest."
"Yes."
Ying Zheng watched Gai Nie exit the main hall and leave Xianyang Palace, and then Li Si met him.
"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng found that Li Si had a melancholy look.
"Back to Your Majesty, all the five assassins of the Netting Organization sent by the minister have been killed."
"What?" Ying Zheng's black eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he said, "Who killed it?" ”
"Quicksand."
"Wei Zhuang dares to go against the widow?"
"Your Majesty, he didn't dare to oppose you, but you forgot that quicksand and nets are mortal enemies."
Ying Zheng raised his sharp thick eyebrows and said three words: "Ji Wuye." ”
"Back then, Ji Wuye's subordinates controlled two dark forces, one was the Night Killer Group, and the other was the net. Quicksand has been wrestling with it, and then Ji Wuye died, and the net was returned to Great Qin, but this deep feud continues. ”
"The Luo Wang assassin was killed by Wei Zhuang, they should all be not far from Gai Nie, could it be that the two of them in Guigu have met again?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's very possible."
"Do you think Wei Zhuang will help Gai Nie get out?"
"The minister thinks it's very unlikely," replied Lees.
"It's small, but it's possible."
"The minister is worried about ......"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and showed a very cold smile.
"Whether Ganie is loyal to me or not, we will find out in two days."
"But, Your Majesty......"
Li Si's words were interrupted by Yingzheng again.
"I'm the one with the sword, what are you afraid of? The widow has his own way. ”
Ying Zheng got up and left the palace, leaving Li Si standing alone in the palace.
Gai Nie returned to his room, closed his eyes and recuperated, the resolute look that Jing Ke had left him in his mind.
He saw Jing Ke, but he didn't say anything. In the heavy snow, Gai Nie walked calmly towards Jing Ke's side, and when Jing Ke hurriedly walked by his side, he gave him a meaningful look.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
Ganie felt that at that time, he could no longer hide his sorrows, and let the flying snow drown him.
"It's snowing again," Xiao Han stood in the library of Xiao Shengxian Village, looked at the heavy snow outside the house, and shook his head, "This year, Brother Nie won't build a snowman for me." ”
The door of the library pavilion opened, and Fu Nian, who was dressed in a black robe, entered the building with the wind and snow, and raised his eyes to see Xiao Han standing tall.
"Xiaohan?" He called softly.
"What's wrong with my husband?"
"I'm going to be away for a few days." Fu Nian said to Xiao Han, who jumped directly from a high place.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Han felt very confused.
"Inside the palace." Fu Nian whispered in her ear.
Xiao Han knew that the secret of Qi was likely to be passed on to Fu Nian.
"Be careful, husband." Xiao Han said with concern.
"Okay."
Fu Nian nodded and stepped out of the library, leaving behind that black back.
