Chapter Forty-Six: The Trap

Li Yunji and his entourage found a decent inn in Zhongling City to settle in.

Ten people came at once, but the innkeeper was so happy that he hurriedly came up to greet him enthusiastically, just like seeing the God of Wealth.

Due to the shortage of housing, except for Li Yunji, who lives in a single room, everyone else spends the night alive.

After a few days of long-distance travel, everyone was so tired that they didn't have time to eat a bite of dinner, so they all stayed and went to sleep.

Li Yunji blew out the candle early, lay on the big bed in the guest room, and fell asleep after a short time.

Maybe Li Yunji, who was too tired and didn't usually snore, actually snored from the room today.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the night, and the pale moonlight sprinkled on Zhongling City, covering the whole city with a layer of mysterious color.

The night is dark and the wind is high, everything is silent, and on the rows of houses in Zhongling City, a dark figure is crawling on the roof of the inn where Li Yunji is staying.

And below him is Li Yunji's room.

The man in black peeled aside a few green tiles, revealing a hole that was just the right size for his figure.

Then he jumped and fell vertically from the roof.

The movement was so small that it barely made a sound when it landed.

The man in black pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slowly moved towards the bed.

Through a thin layer of gauze, Li Yunji's location can be vaguely seen.

The man in black walked more and more slowly, more and more carefully.

Finally got close to the bed, and Li Yunji on the bed was already within his attack range.

Suddenly, the man in black looked at him, and a strong killing intent gushed out.

Then he raised his right hand holding the dagger and stabbed the bed almost with all his might!

But the soft touch told him that the stab was empty!

The eyes of the man in black changed from fierce just now to panic!

Just as he was about to reach out and lift the quilt on the bed, a cold object hit the back of his head.

Then, a bright light lit up behind him.

"I've been waiting for a long time, sir."

It's Li Yunji's voice!

At this time, he was standing behind the man in black, holding a fire hammer against his head!

And beside Li Yunji, Jiang Kui was holding a candle and leaning towards the man in black.

It turned out that Li Yunji hadn't closed his eyes just now, and that snoring sound also came from Jiang Kui's mouth!

The man in black who fell into the trap was shocked into a cold sweat, but his eyes were still resolute.

Suddenly, the man in black aimed the dagger at his neck and stabbed himself with lightning speed, trying to finish himself.

But Jiang Kui is not a vegetarian, and at the last moment, he grabbed the wrist of the man in black and swiped it hard, and the dagger was knocked to the ground.

Then another signature move, a knife slashed the man in black unconscious.

"Not bad! Jiang Kui, when will you teach me this skill? Jiang Kui's smooth movements surprised even Li Yunji.

Jiang Kui pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle, if you promise to be my master, I will teach you this skill!" ”

Li Yunji's surprised face instantly fell, and he pursed his mouth and said, "Then forget it." ”

With that, he pulled the fire gun back into his waist.

Jiang Kui, who was rejected again, sighed, and then took out a hemp rope from his arms and tied up the man in black very quickly.

Li Yunji didn't have the time to drink tea, and the man in black was firmly tied to the stool by Jiang Kui.

The movements are so smooth, the tying is fancy, people dare not look at it directly...

Seeing this, Li Yunji almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Artist..."

Li Yunji moved a stool, sat opposite the man in black, tore off the mask on his face, and splashed him up with the remaining half pot of tea.

The man in black endured the discomfort on the back of his neck, slowly opened his eyes, and after discovering his situation, he did not struggle, but behaved very indifferently.

Li Yunji didn't seem surprised, stood up and said slowly: "I know, you won't say anything I ask." ”

The man in black glanced at Li Yunji and turned his face away.

Li Yunji was not angry, and said with a light smile: "You assassins are really interesting, you think about suicide before the mission is completed, I don't want to kill you, why can't you think about it?" ”

The man in black still didn't react, just snorted coldly.

Li Yunji walked around to the back of the man in black, lowered his body slightly, and said quite jokingly: "Not only will I not kill you, but I will let you go back." ”

The black-clothed man's pupils trembled slightly, and he was quite surprised, and said in his heart: "What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?" ”

Li Yunji walked around to the man in black again, and unhurriedly took out an iron ring from his arms.

It was the iron ring that was taken from the knives dropped by the group of men in black during the last assassination.

"I don't think you're unfamiliar with this hoop, right?"

The man in black frowned, judging from his expression, he must have known.

Li Yunji put the iron ring into the chest of the man in black, and the moment he opened the collar, a black cloud-like embroidery appeared in Li Yunji's field of vision.

Li Yunji pretended not to see it, and said eloquently: "Go back and tell your master, don't always do something like stealing chickens and dogs, my master, I will expose his conspiracies little by little!" ”

After speaking, Li Yunji glanced at Jiang Kui and motioned for him to untie the rope.

Jiang Kui had an order, although he had doubts, but he still slashed down with a sword, and the rope was scattered.

The man in black stood up in embarrassment, glared at Li Yunji viciously, and then jumped to the roof again.

"Help me fix the roof! Feed! Feed! Li Yunji looked at the hole in the roof and yelled.

Who would bother with such a ridiculous request?

With a few strange sounds of stepping on the tiles, the man in black quickly disappeared into the night.

"Is there any quality?!" Li Yunji let out a long sigh and looked helpless.

Jiang Kui also looked at the hole in the roof, and asked Li Yunji with a puzzled expression: "Uncle, why did you let him go?!" ”

Li Yunji glanced at him and said perfunctorily: "With your IQ, it is difficult for me to explain it to you." ”

In fact, Li Yunji realized that someone was following him from the beginning of his journey to the capital.

The reason why he didn't make a noise was because he wanted to catch turtles in an urn.

The reason why the man in black didn't start along the way was because Jiang Kui and Qin Xi'er had been by Li Yunji's side.

When he checked into the inn just now, Li Yunji specially chose to live in a room alone.

And more than once emphasized that he wanted to live in the room on the far right.

The purpose is to confuse the man in black and create an illusion that he can do it.

Li Yunji knew that these assassins were outlaws like Chen Ce, and if their actions failed, they would most likely commit suicide.

In order to keep a living, Li Yunji quietly called Jiang Kui over.

As for why he didn't kill the man in black, it wasn't exactly because he wanted him to go back and pass on a message.

Spreading the word is secondary, and Li Yunji's real purpose is not to make trouble.

To be more precise, he didn't want to involve Qin Xi'er as well.

Because Li Yunji vaguely felt that Xu Changan was plotting a big thing.

"Uncle, how did you know there were assassins?"

Jiang Kui reacted, Li Yunji mysteriously called him over, and specially ordered him to come over quietly after King Jin and He Ming were asleep, which was indeed a little strange.

"Intuition." Li Yunji prevaricated, and then said thoughtfully: "Jiang Kui, don't tell anyone about this matter." ”

Looking at Li Yunji's rare serious look, Jiang Kui nodded solemnly.

After solving the assassin's matter, a strong sense of fatigue swept through Li Yunji's brain.

drove Jiang Kui away, Li Yunji collapsed on the bed, and after a short time, he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was noon on the second day.

Li Yunji, who had slept well, looked much better than when he was running around a few days ago.

It's just that he slept for so long, and he didn't eat dinner last night, Li Yunji was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back at this time.

Everyone had already gathered in the main hall on the first floor and ordered a lot of good dishes.

Li Yunji, who was late, couldn't care about eating at this time, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to devour.

"Uncle, not really." Jiang Kui looked at Li Yunji, who was stuffed into his mouth, and frowned.

The expressions of the rest of the people were also the same as Jiang Kui.

"Hiccup~" Li Yunji hiccuped fiercely, took a sip of hot soup, and said with a disdainful face: "Are you hungry for two meals?" ”

Jiang Kui was silent, you know, early this morning, he ate a full twenty buns one by one.

The appearance of the reincarnation of a starving ghost is as good as Li Yunji's.

After eating and drinking, Li Yunji hiccuped contentedly.

Then he glanced at the messy table, and sighed lightly: "The food in Zhongling City is not a little worse than that of the capital." ”

Su Ling echoed: "That's it, it's too far away." ”

"It's not all because Brother Li invented so many delicious foods and picked our mouths!" Su Changqing said with a smile.

“…”

Just as everyone was discussing the differences in food between the two cities, Li Yunji smelled a glimmer of business opportunity.

If you open a branch of Liuxian Pavilion here, you will be able to quickly occupy the market.

And then concoct the same method and deploy the "Falcon" to Zhongling City by joining, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?!

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Yunji's mouth unconsciously rose.

After eating and drinking, everyone can't wait to go out into the streets.

Su Ling became a tour guide and talked endlessly along the way, introducing the architecture of Zhongling City and telling her experience in Zhongling City.

"I bought calligraphy and paintings in this store!"

"I've eaten roast lamb at this shop!"

……

Etcetera.

Some people listen with relish, while others are thoughtful and don't say a word.

The former is Qin Xi'er and Jiang Kui, and the latter is a group of Fengchao.

Li Yunji sensed the emotions of several people, slowed down and walked side by side with He Ming.

"Why is Brother He so sad?"

He Ming glanced at Li Yunji and said with a wry smile: "It seems that if I want to catch up with Nanyang, I am still far away..."

Li Yunji was stunned.

From the moment they entered Zhongling City, not only He Ming, but even the four girls who liked to make noise on weekdays became extremely silent.

Especially when I saw the female students everywhere in Zhongling City, I was even more envious.

It's right to think about it, in the Fengchao, the status of women was low, except for the rich daughters who had the opportunity to enter private schools to study, ordinary women could only teach each other and do some housework.

Now when I see the female students in Zhongling City, I can't help but feel envious.

Thinking of this, Li Yunji made a bold decision in his heart.

Li Yunji stopped Su Ling in front of him and asked with a serious face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, are there any special requirements for studying at Taihu Academy?" ”
