Chapter 166: Watching from the Wall
After some temptation, Jin Kai still felt that Li Yi was not the mysterious person. With the end of Jin Kai's test of Li Yi, his heart became more and more anxious, and at the same time, the anger in his chest became more and more intense.
A frustration that he had never felt before made Jin Kai unbearable. He didn't expect that in just three days, the two sons of Yue Guo were killed in Anzhou Prefecture, and they have not been able to find the murderer in Anzhou Prefecture so far.
Seeing that many of the guests at the birthday banquet were already drowsy and drowsy, and the birthday banquet was about to end, Jin Kai could only hope that the city guard camp could assist the guards of the prince of Yue to catch the female assassin.
However, at the beginning of the birthday banquet, all the guests also signed their names when they left Mobao to write the word "birthday", which also left the possibility for the next follow-up.
Soon, the moon to the Zhongtian birthday banquet also entered the stage of the host's affection and drinking, and he was drunk tonight.
Although on the surface, Anzhou Jiedu made Shi Fangkai and Jin Kai smile and be enthusiastic, but the hearts of the two were different.
"Luhua, did they catch the female assassin?" Jin Kai was already a little dizzy at this time, but he still asked the steward who poured the wine for him in a low voice.
Although he had been controlling the speed at which he was drinking, there were too many guests toasting him and Shi Fangzheng today.
All he could hope now was that the men on the other side of the city guard camp would be able to catch the female assassin as soon as possible. If he could catch the female Assassin before the end of the birthday feast, he would be able to find the man through the female Assassin.
Although the servants of the prince of Yue Guo swore that the woman was an assassin, Jin Kai was always suspicious of this.
In his opinion, it takes a lot of strength to be able to pinch the neck of an adult man at once, and it is very difficult for a woman to achieve this level even if she is strong in martial arts.
So he always thought that the mysterious man was more suspicious than the female assassin.
"Back to the city lord, there is no news from the city guard camp, it seems that he has been caught." The steward whispered in Jin Kai's ear.
Jin Kai sighed helplessly and shook his head slightly.
"Looks like we don't expect to catch that mysterious man tonight."
"Tell me to go down, and after the banquet is over, send someone to keep an eye on the four people marked on my note." Jin Kai said and quietly took out the list that the steward had given him just now from his sleeve.
Although he had already tested the four people, including Li Yi, he still asked to send someone to keep an eye on these four people.
This is not because Jin Kai is still suspicious of these four people, but because Jin Kai is extremely cautious.
"It's the lord of the castle." Immediately, the steward went down to prepare the men according to Jin Kai's instructions.
"Senior brother, it seems that the Golden City Lord is afraid that he has found some clues, and we are being focused on by him." At this time, Mu Junhe walked up to Li Yi, who was squatting by the wall and pretending to vomit, and whispered.
Although Jin Kai's voice with the steward just now was very small, Mu Junhe still noticed that there was a slight movement of their lips.
And he also saw Jin Kai stuff something into the steward's hand. Then the steward hurried to the backyard, and then he noticed that there were suddenly several more figures in the doorway of the backyard.
And one of these figures always set his eyes on Li Yi who was squatting by the wall.
"I didn't think that such a simple trick could fool the Golden City Lord at the beginning, but he didn't dare to do anything without evidence, as long as we left Anzhou City tomorrow, even if he finally knew the truth, it would be useless." Li Yi squatted on the ground and whispered while pretending to vomit.
"Just now I found Yang Ping's figure at a table near the main table, so it seems that Yang Ping really has a great relationship with the Anzhou Jiedu Envoy." Mu Junhe reminded in a low voice.
"Originally, although I guessed that Yang Ping had some relationship with the Anzhou Jiedu Envoy, I didn't expect that this relationship was far beyond my imagination, so we really can't leave with Yang Ping tomorrow, otherwise it will be easy for something to happen." To say that the most surprising thing for Li Yi tonight is Yang Ping, according to the arrangement of the birthday banquet, the closer the relationship with Anzhou Jiedu, the closer the person sits, the closer to the main table.
And the table where Yang Ping was sitting was next to the main table, so it seemed that the relationship between Yang Ping and Shi Fangzheng was indeed very close.
"I see that many people have begun to leave one after another, so why don't we leave early!" Mu Junhe pretended to help Li Yi get up.
"No, let's wait until the birthday banquet is over, when there are many people, even if someone follows us, we won't get too close." Li Yi is not in a hurry to leave, in his opinion, if he leaves early now, it is likely to increase Jin Kai's suspicion of himself.
"I could have killed the man who was following us halfway through, and we're leaving tomorrow anyway." Mu Junhe didn't want to be so troublesome, in his opinion, he could kill a few stalking servants quietly, and he could do it without anyone knowing.
"Although we are leaving, we may not have the opportunity to go to Anzhou in the future, so there is no need to do things too desperately." Li Yi considered that the Dayu Dynasty was likely to fall into war in the future, and they would most likely need to contact Anzhou to buy weapons in the future, so he thought that Mu Junhe's proposal was a bit inappropriate.
"In that case, I'll listen to you!" Mu Junhe also felt that what his junior brother said was very reasonable.
Soon the birthday banquet finally ended with Shi Fangzheng's thanks, and as soon as the birthday banquet ended, Mu Junhe helped Li Yi and followed the crowd out.
When they had just left the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, someone followed behind them. Originally, when Li Yi was still thinking about how to get rid of these little tails, he suddenly discovered that there was a very special existence among these people celebrating his birthday.
This person is wearing a purple robe, a purple golden lotus crown, and a dust-whisk, he is really a Purple Cloud Daoist of the Tianyi faction. And beside him, there was also a Taoist holding a long sword, this person was a pure and scattered person who had fought with his senior brother and was known as the Daomen Sword Immortal.
"Senior brother, look at the quiet and scattered people over there?" Li Yi pointed to the Taoist holding the long sword and asked Mu Junhe.
Mu Junhe looked in the direction of Li Yi's finger, and sure enough, he found the Ziyun Dao people and the Qingjing Sanren.
"It's that shameless shaft!" As soon as he saw the pure and scattered people, Mu Junhe couldn't help but start gritting his teeth.
Mu Junhe has always been angry about the previous incident of the pure and scattered people deceiving his lightning strike jujube wood scabbard.
But it was true that he had cut off his scabbard at the beginning, and it was reasonable for him to ask for his scabbard.
But if Qingjing Sanren had said that he liked his sword scabbard, he might not have compensated him for the scabbard.
But afterwards, Mu Junhe thought about it carefully and realized that from the beginning, Qingjing Sanren had taken a fancy to his sword scabbard.
And when he cut off his scabbard, it was also deliberately done by the Qingjing Sanren. He was ready to snatch his sword scabbard from the beginning, and even later he admitted defeat on purpose.
But in this regard, although Mu Junhe gritted his teeth with hatred, he was not good at asking for the thunder strike jujube scabbard again, after all, if he hadn't cut off his scabbard at the beginning, he still had a reason to go back, and now he really doesn't take advantage of the reason.
So he can only be dumb and can't say that he has bitterness when he eats coptis chinensis. Looking at Mu Junhe's gritted teeth, Li Yi suddenly smiled slightly.
"Senior brother, last time you were put in a scabbard by that pure and scattered person, and he tricked him into striking the jujube wood scabbard, why don't we put him together today?" Mu Junyi couldn't help but show an interested look on his face when he heard Li Yi say this.
"Senior brother, what are your plans?"
"Since we are following the little tail, it is inconvenient for us to do it, why don't we let this quiet person solve it for us?" The corners of Li Yi's mouth showed an evil smile.
Mu Junyi suddenly danced when he heard this. thought that if I could let the shameless person of the pure and scattered people suffer a dark loss, it could be regarded as a revenge for the bird who was deceived that day.
So Mu Junhe immediately nodded.
"Senior brother, I listen to you." Then Li Yi and Mu Junhe turned around and followed towards the Qingjing Sanren.
Although they have always followed the pure and scattered people, they have always kept a distance from them. And behind them, the guards of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion who were sent by Jin Kai to follow them also kept a distance from Li Yi and them.
Because Jin Kai knew that Mu Junhe's sword saint was very good, in order not to startle the snake, Jin Kai deliberately sent the three people with the strongest martial arts in the Jiedu Mansion to follow Li Yi.
And Jin Kai also specially told them that they must keep an appropriate distance from Li Yi and them. Soon the three waves began to walk down the street.
When he walked out of the confines of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Li Yi immediately extinguished the lantern in his hand, so the surroundings of him and Mu Junhe immediately fell into darkness.
Although there was moonlight in the sky, the guards of the mansion could only see them roughly in the back.
And the task of these guards this time is to follow Li Yi, so they didn't shoot lanterns. So the three groups of people who lined up in a line only the Ziyun Dao people and the Qingjing Sanren who were at the front of the line were carrying lanterns.
Li Yi and Mu Junhe, who were in the back, followed the light of the lantern in front of them.
"Senior brother, there seems to be someone behind us." When turning an alley, the Ziyun Dao people noticed that someone was following behind, so he opened his mouth to remind the quiet and dispersed people.
"Senior brother, don't turn around and pretend that you don't know anything, let's continue to walk along this alley." Qing Jing Sanren was still holding his sword, looking unaware.
But in fact, he knew from the beginning that there were people behind him, but he was not sure how many people were behind him.
He was worried that these people were plotting against him, and if there were too many people on the other side, in an open field, these people would probably hurt his senior brother.
Although his senior brother Ziyun Daoren is a candidate for the next head of the Tianyi faction, and he is proficient in various Daozang scriptures, divination and medicine, and everything about astronomy and geography, he does not understand martial arts at all.
This is also the reason why he came to Anzhou to celebrate Shi Fangzheng's birthday and accompanied him. Therefore, the pure scattered people must only act against those who are plotting against those who are plotting against them on the premise of ensuring the safety of their senior brother Ziyun Dao people.
And in the alley is the right place. Li Yi saw that they were quiet and scattered, and they turned into an alley, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said happily.
"Senior brother, it seems that tonight's pure and scattered people are bound to suffer." As he spoke, he quickly followed the alley, and Mu Junhe also followed quickly.
As soon as he walked into the alley, Li Yi immediately stepped towards the wall of the alley, and when he stepped in mid-air, his body was pushed against the other wall by the force of the rebound, Li Yi kicked his legs again, and his body ejected again.
In this way, Li Yi jumped back and forth between the two walls, and soon went up to the roof. And Mu Junhe saw this, and he also flew up and kicked several times on the wall, and the whole person flew up like a goshawk.
When he reached the top, he reached the edge of the eaves of the roof with one hand. Then, with a single hand, he flew up his body again, and in an instant he reached the roof.
After they landed on the roof, the three masters of the Jiedu Mansion turned into the alley.
By this time the alley was empty.
"Big brother, it's not good, we lost people!" One of the guards said with some panic.
"Don't panic, there is a fire in the alley on the right side of the front, it should be the light from the lanterns of those people in the front." The guard who took the lead waved his hand to stop his brother's steps.
"I saw just now that the two guys we were following have been sneaking behind the group in front of them, maybe they are trying to do wrong, as long as we follow the firelight, we should be able to find those two." The man in charge added.
"Big brother is right." Another guard of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion said with a flattering expression.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up and don't lose it, this time the Jiedu envoy and the city lord have given us a death order." With that, the three of them chased after the firelight towards the alley on the right.
And Li Yi and Mu Junhe, who were standing on the roof, had quietly come to the other side of the roof at this time.
At this time, they found that the Ziyun Dao people were raising the lanterns and continuing to walk forward, while the Qingjing Sanren had quietly climbed onto the roof at this time, staring intently at the alley below.
"I didn't expect this pure and loose person to be stupid!" Li Yi looked at the clean scattered people lying on the roof with a smile on his face.
"That guy is a treacherous and slippery person, how can such a shameless person be called a disciple of the Daomen, it is simply insulting to the Daomen Sanqing." Mu Junhe said with disdain.
"Senior brother, you are optimistic, let him be as cunning as a fox, and I will let him suffer this loss today." Li Yi carefully pinched a piece from the corner of a tile and grabbed it in his hand.
When the three people turned to the alley where the Ziyun Dao people were, Li Yi pinched the tile in his hand and threw it at the heads of the three people.
He aimed very accurately and with great force. The corner of the tile struck the leader like a bolt of lightning.
"Oops! There is an ambush! As soon as the leader entered this alley, he found that there was only a figure of the Purple Cloud Dao person in the alley, and all the others were nowhere to be seen.
He was still wondering where the others had gone, when he felt a sudden pain in his head.
He immediately realized that he had been ambushed. Seeing that their eldest brother was being attacked by someone, the remaining two immediately drew their long swords and then raised their heads and began to look around for the person who attacked them.
When they looked up, they found the quiet scattered man lying on the roof with his head poked out.
"The person who sneaked up on the roof was on the roof." With that, they flew towards the roof where the Silent Scattered Man was, and climbed towards it.
