Inner City, Qi House

Qi Ji, who kept copying calligraphy and painting, felt that his wrist was weak and weak, and the brush in his hand fell on the rice paper with a click, blurring a piece of ink.

He let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ao Changshen who was drinking fragrant tea unhurriedly, Qi Ji's eyes showed helplessness and determination, in the past ten years, he has stepped step by step to the position of the squire of the military department, and he is only two steps away from the supreme position in his eyes, there is still hope in this life!

As a superior person, he has no shortage of determination and courage.

Stand up straight and meet the eyes of Ao Changshen, who has a sense over there.

Ao Changshen and Qi Ji have never had any contact with each other on weekdays, and today's sudden visit to the door has made him very puzzled, and the former's open and honest communication has caused turmoil in his heart.

Ao Changshen not only told the fact that Qi Ji was a traitor of the Northern Barbarians, but also said that behind the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Qi Ji was manipulating the layout.

It was also at this time that Qi Ji found that he had found the invisible pair of black hands.

But it's definitely not Ao Changshen in front of him, Ao Changshen is just a pawn of others, just like that, it still makes Qi Ji feel dry tongue and numb, how strong the master of the black hand behind him should be! In order to make a right deputy imperial history become his pawn.

"Lord Qi has thought it through?" Ao Changshen still looked unhurried, with indifference and a hint of confidence. It was as if he knew that what he had put forward would be obtained.

Qi Ji was silent, thinking back to the conditions that Ao Changshen had put forward to him before, and what he could give him.

Let's talk about what Qi Ji can get first, Ao Changshen got straight to the point and directly told the fact that he was a Northern Barbarian, but as long as Qi Ji can promise Ao Changshen a trivial matter, then this secret will not be known by outsiders.

At the same time, the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor will also come to an end here in Jian Fangliang, Qi Ji does not have to think about leaving the imperial capital, he can continue to be his military department attendant, and even one day in the future, he will sit in the high position of the military department.

Compared with what Qi Ji can obtain, he thinks that what he needs to pay seems to be a little unworthy of the other party's cost.

Because Ao Changshen only needed to meet and meet with the Northern Barbarians who were in contact with Qi Ji.

It's a small thing, for the usual.

At present, this matter is not so simple, Qi Ji subconsciously magnified this matter, and there is a feeling of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

In fact, how can a veteran officialdom of his rank easily trust others, let alone be confused by immediate interests.

If Ao Changshen and Beiban get in touch, the two sides reach an agreement, and turn around and kick him, then he really has no way to go to heaven and no way to go down.

But if he doesn't be this liaison, Ao Changshen only needs to leak his collusion with the Northern Barbarians, and he may not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Although Emperor Xuyang is not as murderous as his father, Qi Ji believes that this emperor will never be soft, let alone stay overnight.

Therefore, for Qi Ji, he has only one choice.

But he is thinking about how to fight for his highest interests in this situation!

As for the fact that he can continue to be a squire in the military department, and the future of the military department is promising, he doesn't believe it.

Although it was a little longing and imagination, reason immediately pulled him back to reality.

"Lord Ao!" After being silent for nearly an hour, Qi Ji finally spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse because of his dry throat:

"The old man can act as this guide for Lord Ao, but the current situation is that the Northern Barbarian Elder is estimated to have left the city, and if he wants to see him, he needs to go out of the city!"

Qi Jisheng waited for this hour to ensure that the Northern Barbarian Elder Bilegg had enough time to leave the city. Qi Ji believed that with the wisdom of that wise man, he would definitely be able to get out of the city safely.

And as long as he takes Ao Changshen out of the city together, then his safety will be guaranteed.

Ao Changshen nodded and happily agreed, so happy that Qi Ji was surprised.

Immediately after, Ao Changshen continued: "I know Lord Qi's concerns, but has Lord Qi ever thought that once I have contact with the Northern Barbarians. Lord Qi can also use this as a threat, maybe we can coexist peacefully. Lord Qi, don't think I'm lying, if Lord Qi is still not at ease, I can even leave a letter with the Northern Barbarians and hand it to Lord Qi as a handle to handle me! ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ji only felt like a person who was about to die of thirst, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, heavy black clouds floated overhead, and a cool breeze penetrated through the cracks in his robe.

At this moment, he faltered.

"Otherwise, I'll give Lord Qi another hour to think?" Ao Changshen said with a smile.

Qi Ji was just about to answer, but there was a servant of the Qi Mansion outside, Qi Ji glanced at the latter, his face changed slightly, and then immediately covered his expression, said sorry to Ao Changshen, and left the room.

Ao Changshen didn't care, just stood up, came to Qi Jigang's Mobao, and measured it carefully.

Qi Ji came to the front hall, and at this time there was a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman in the front hall, and when Qi Ji saw the latter, he immediately stepped forward quickly.

Qi Ji said impatiently: "How is it?" ”

The middle-aged businessman pressed his hands and signaled Qi Ji not to worry, and then slowly spoke: "The elder has left the city safely, and General Buhe has killed Jian Fangliang, tonight our people will gather at the mansion to pick you up and leave, and leave the city early tomorrow morning!" ”

Qi Ji's face showed joy, and then he suddenly thought of Ao Changshen, hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I want to take someone away!" ”

The middle-aged merchant knew that Qi Ji meant to bring one more outsider, but he didn't care about it, he just said: "You can take as many people as you want, the elders just let us cover you to leave, we are all warriors who leave our souls in the grassland, and we have long looked down on life and death." But the more you bring one person, the more danger there is, so you can think about these things yourself! ”

After that, the middle-aged businessman who had completed the task left directly, and Qi Ji looked at the other party's back with complicated eyes.

Back in the backyard, after entering the room, Ao Changshen's voice sounded, Qi Ji suddenly froze in place, and a layer of fine cold sweat oozed from his back.

"Jian Fangliang should be dead, but the person is dead, the evidence is still there, the Northern Barbarians are the Northern Barbarians, and the words of the Barbarians are extremely accurate, even if it is the so-called wise man among the Northern Barbarians, it is nothing more than that!"

"What did you say!" Qi Ji was like a wounded tiger, staring at Ao Changshen. 、

Ao Changshen just looked at Qi Ji's Mobao with a smile, and said lightly: "The word is a good word, but I am a little impatient, and I can't show it, it's a pity!" ”

Qi Ji took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and simply smoothed out his emotions, this bit of qi cultivation kung fu cannot be cultivated in more than ten years of strong winds and waves.

Wufu's cultivation has a rank, and Wenchen's cultivation also has a rank, and Qi Ji is at least a master of Dacheng Realm compared to Wenchen.

"Lord Ao, I hope to solve Qi's doubts, what do you mean?"

Qi Ji, who calmed down, immediately recalled what was wrong, how could Ao Changshen know what he said when he went to the front hall, at that time, he and the merchant disguised by the Northern Barbarian spies were only two people in the same room to spy on the inside, and there was no one else!

Moreover, he only heard about the Northern Barbarian warrior Bu and going to destroy Jian Fangliang from Elder Bilege not long ago, and the implementation of the operation is estimated to be within one or two hours, Ao Changshen has been sitting here, how did he know that the person was dead, and the evidence was still there!

Qi Ji has a refreshed understanding of Ao Changshen and the energy behind him.

Ao Changshen put his hands behind his back, looked at Qi Ji with a smile and said, "Lord Qi, cooperate with me." First, you don't have a choice, and secondly, you can't get used to the Northern Barbarian Grassland, and besides, you can steal a life by yourself, a family by stealing a life, but you can't steal a life by a family. ”

Ao Changshen's words made Qi Ji stunned, indeed, if he chooses to leave the imperial capital, his family can indeed live, his only son is in Hanzhong, he only needs a fast horse to let him hide and abscond, with the strategy of the Northern Barbarians, it is not difficult for them to escape into the Northern Barbarians.

But his clan could not do it, and his affairs were exposed, and the clan would inevitably suffer the wrath of the emperor.

A hundred years later, how did he face his ancestors and ancestors?

He was forced to go on the thief ship of the Northern Barbarians, because of his own son.

Qi Ji's only son Qi Yankun killed someone nearly 20 years ago, Qi Ji, who was the head of the military department at the time, sent Qi Yankun north to join the army in order to cover up the facts, but was accidentally captured by the Beiban Wanggu department, who confided that his father was the head of the military department under severe torture, and then there was contact between Qi Ji and the Beiban.

In the same year, Qi Ji leaked the defense map for the life of his only son, resulting in Tuoba Yunhan being ambushed. Afterwards, Beiban took this as a threat, and he has been secretly trading arms with Qi Ji, and has corrupted a large number of middle and low-level officials, and most of them are his protégés, Jian Fangliang is one of them.

Once Qi Ji's matter is revealed, just the leakage of the border map back then will be enough for him to destroy the nine clans.

It is also because of this that he has been cooperating with the Northern Barbarians, because he can't be exposed, no matter what.

And now, things have come to the point of life and death, Qi Ji can only think about his family's affairs, as for the family...

He chose to forget temporarily, but if there was a choice that would allow him to keep his clan alive, he would definitely make a choice.

"I just want to get in touch with the Northern Barbarians, after all, the Northern Barbarians don't dare to enter the customs, and even if they do, most of them are small characters." Ao Changshen added: "I replaced you to get in touch with the Northern Barbarians, and you escaped from the hands of the Northern Barbarians, not the best of both worlds." Unless, Lord Qi wants to tell me, you are willing to be in the company of the Northern Barbarians. ”

Qi Ji shook his head and said, "Of course I won't be willing!" ”

At the same time, Qi Ji was also thinking about what was the purpose of Ao Changshen getting in touch with the Beiban, the one behind him must have an extremely powerful force, and the connection between such an existence and the Beiban must be very big.

If you can become one of the other people, then the future...

How big is the brain hole of a soldier squire, just look at Qi Ji, he has even pre-performed in his mind the big man behind Ao Changshen Taishan Fengzen, and he jumped to whitewash himself and became a fair and honest military department secretary, bathing in the sun.

Complicated thoughts flashed by, Qi Ji came back to his senses, and he had a faint plan in his heart, but he said with a hesitant look on his face: "What Lord Ao just said... Evidence? ”

Ao Changshen smiled and said: "It seems that Lord Qi has already made a decision, don't worry, of course the evidence is destroyed." Lord Qi will go out to play tomorrow, and when you return to the imperial capital, you will still be the right attendant of the military department under the two of you. ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned! Qi Ji slandered.

——

West Chang'an Avenue is a main street between Cheap Square and Chengping Square, the street is open, and four horse-drawn carriages can be paralleled, and you can reach Chengtianmen along West Chang'an Avenue all the way to the east.

Yuan Dongxiang, Liu Xin and a group of Dongchang fans traveled all the way, among which Wang Zhangban was carrying a big burden, which was full of things that Liu Xin found from the corpse of Jian Fangliang's family.

If Jian Fangliang hid the evidence, it should be in these burdens.

Lost some items that obviously didn't hide clues, and the rest were in the baggage that Wang Zhangban was carrying.

There is still a moment away from the imperial city, Yuan Dongxiang and Liu Xin are in front of the team, Yuan Dongxiang is still expressionless and indifferent, and Liu Xin is face is slightly happy, and today, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has finally come to a critical moment.

Suddenly, Yuan Dongxiang stopped suddenly, Liu Xin was caught off guard and continued to take a few steps forward, looking back at Yuan Dongxiang in confusion, and the fans behind him collided one by one, but the next moment they quickly dispersed.

This is the effect achieved under the training of Yuan Dongxiang, if it was before Yuan Dongxiang did not serve as a thousand households in Dongchang, this group of Dongchang fans is on par with ordinary Jinyi captains.

They are all the kind of beings who show off their might in the face of the people, and you are on top of you in the face of real fierce people.

Yuan Dongxiang and a group of others had already frightened the people on the street to avoid it, and this sudden action shocked many timid people, who were like frightened rabbits and fled in all directions.

Standing in place for a moment, Yuan Dongxiang suddenly looked at the roof of the building on the side of the street, Liu Xin followed his gaze, only to see a vague figure flashing by, and the next moment there was the whistling sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air, and the sound of the bowstring being released immediately after.

Yuan Dongxiang immediately drew his knife, and when he fought with Buhe before, he didn't have a suitable weapon. Later, he asked a fan for his saber, and at this time he had a knife in his hand, and Yuan Dongxiang's power was even better than before.

Liu Xin felt Yuan Dongxiang's qi at close range, the latter's internal force was as thick as a mountain, a knife out, like a flying swallow fluttering, it was not a straight or arc knife line, but messy and fluttering!

Bite!

A feather arrow is not a crossbow arrow, but an absolute forbidden item in the imperial capital, a bow and arrow!

Yuan Dongxiang jumped and came to the two Dongchang fans, his eyes locked on the direction where the bow and arrow were fired.

At this time, Yuan Dongxiang's face was pale, and his body inadvertently protected the front of the people behind him.

Liu Xin's face also changed, just because of the target of that feather arrow!

When he entered Jian Fangliang's back house, he checked everyone's corpses, and unexpectedly found that one of them was not dead, and judging from this person's appearance, this person was Jian Fangliang.

Although he had a crossbow bolt in his chest, Jian Fangliang did still have breathing and a pulse.

At that time, Liu Xin made a decision to let a fan take off the clothes of the East Factory and drape it on Jian Fangliang's body, supported by another powerful fan, and then a group of East Factory fans walked out cheering, and no one would notice that there was a person mixed in it.

originally thought it was a safe way, but it was recognized at this moment, and it may have been seen through earlier!

Liu Xin didn't make a move, Yuan Dongxiang should be a cultivator of the Zhongpin Dacheng Realm, in the imperial capital, he can be regarded as a top master, with him, he should be able to deal with all the problems.

After a few breaths, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air was heard again, and this time, there were several crossbow arrows, shot from the other side.

The speed of the feather arrow is extremely fast, which is not something that ordinary people can do, except for Yuan Dongxiang and Liu Xin, the rest of the Dongchang fans, including Wang Zhangban, did not see the traces of the feather arrow, but only heard a sharp sound of breaking the air.

The sword light in front of Yuan Dongxiang rose again, a messy and elegant knife light flashed, the feather arrow was knocked away again, and the crossbow arrow on the other side hit the two fans, Liu Xin swung two, but he couldn't swing them all.

And at this moment, a flash of fire flashed in the corner of Liu Xin's eyes, and when Liu Xin turned his head, he only heard Wang Zhangban exclaim.

Rumble!

The burden behind Wang Zhangban suddenly ignited, and a rocket appeared at some point, shot at the baggage, and then exploded in an instant!

Liu Xin rushed forward, and with a knife, the package was cut off and scattered, and Wang Zhangban pounced forward, rolling with the momentum, but did not extinguish the fire.

"Kerose!" Yuan Dongxiang frowned and whispered.

Liu Xinyan immediately said to a few fans: "Cover Wang Zhangban's body with clothes and suppress the fire!" ”

A few fans immediately did so, and Wang Zhangban screamed in pain, but fortunately, the fire was quickly extinguished.

Liu Xin and Yuan Dongxiang's eyes met, and then fell on several fires on the street.

"Silent Arrow!" Yuan Dongxiang said calmly: "The cost is extremely expensive, not military, more like some killers!" ”

Speaking of killers, Liu Xin subconsciously thought of the Dog Slaughter Sect, the Dog Slaughter Sect that Gui Wanqiu contacted, the female killer known as the rabbit.

The strength of that female killer is definitely also a Dacheng realm!

The female warriors of the Dacheng Realm are relatively rare, and they are full-time killers, which makes Liu Xin, who had only heard of the Dog Slaughter Sect before, have a huge curiosity.

Yuan Dongxiang was still standing in front of the two fans, and the attack did not continue, as if the killer knew that in front of Yuan Dongxiang, he could no longer kill people, so after destroying the evidence, he quietly left.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Dongxiang signaled to continue his journey, so a group of Dongchang fans gathered around and cautiously rushed to the imperial city. Soon, the Dongchang side seemed to have received the news, and a large group of Dongchang soldiers poured out, wrapping the three layers of the original Dongxiangli in the outer three layers inside.

Yuan Dongxiang immediately showed a deep sense of discomfort, as soon as there were many people, the team would be chaotic, this sense of chaos made him extremely uncomfortable, if it wasn't for the protection of Jian Fangliang, he would have scolded him a long time ago.

——

Some hidden corner of the inner city

Rabbit: "You're really useless, that Dongchang Qianhu is effortless to block your arrows!" ”

Monkey: "You try?" I'm afraid I'll die if I try! ”

Rabbit: "What kind of wit do you give the old lady!" ”

Monkey: "I mean, Yuan Dongxiang is a middle-grade Dacheng realm, and I am not his opponent in the first place." ”

After a pause, the monkey said: "Besides, the boss asked us to keep Jian Fangliang's life, otherwise I will solve him with a silent arrow in the first stroke." It's you, who was easily discovered by Yuan Dongxiang, and you can't do light work! ”

Rabbit: "Die, die, old lady, this is deliberately to attract his attention!" ”

Monkey: "By the way, did the boss get the people you followed?" ”

Rabbit: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in fact, the boss pays attention to that person, I have seen it last night, and he looks quite handsome!" ”

Monkey: "Don't be a nymphomaniac when you see a handsome young man, the boss's instructions!" ”

Rabbit: "Don't worry, I'll find out, and I won't miss the boss's good deeds!" ”

Monkey: "I always feel like you're slandering the boss, but I don't have proof!" ”

Rabbit: "Huh! ”
