Chapter 22: Absconding from the city
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused here?" Xiao Jian shouted.
was directly stunned by Xiao Jian's drink to Wei Ji, who is the one holding the dagger now?
Wei Ji shook his head and said, "What do you mean?" How dare you speak to Princess Ben like this, and don't want to live anymore? ”
"If you want to kill, you will kill, no need to say much, don't kill or not kill for a while, I am tired of listening." Xiao Jian stiffened his neck instead, and the tip of the knife suddenly pierced under the skin, and blood dripped down the dagger to the ground.
Seeing Xiao Jian's lifeless posture, Wei Ji softened his heart and simply took the dagger back, but the dagger in his hand kept a distance of half a meter from Xiao Jian, so that she could react and assassinate at any time.
Xiao Jian nodded with satisfaction when he saw Wei Ji's reaction to retracting the dagger, and continued, "You are also a princess of a country, and you can't figure out such a simple question?" Shortly after your father's death, he gave the throne to your eldest brother, and your second brother intended to snatch the throne, and when he learned that your eldest brother was going to inherit the throne, he was resentful, so he arranged for people to assassinate him, and your eldest brother chose to flee overnight to save his wife and children. ”
"You are talking nonsense, how is this possible? What about my mother, my second brother said that my mother was taken away by my eldest brother, what do you say about this? Wei Ji didn't believe Xiao Jian's words and continued to ask.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? If you don't want to go, who can have the ability to take her away quietly? Xiao Jian said helplessly.
With a "ding", the dagger in Wei Ji's hand fell to the ground.
"Are all the rumors true? Is it really my second brother who wants to kill my eldest brother for his own selfish desires? Just for the throne of this Wei State? Wei Ji panicked and sat down on the round stool opposite Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian didn't speak again, she was waiting for Wei Ji to wake up, it turned out that she had heard all this, but she never believed that his second brother would treat his eldest brother like this for the throne of Wei.
In this way, time passed minute by minute, Wei Ji slowly walked out of the confusion, his eyes became extremely bright, and he suddenly pulled Xiao Jian's cuffs and said, "Take me away!" Take me with you and get out of here! ”
"Okay, my princess of Wei, you use your brain to think about it, it's all like this now, it's difficult for a bird to fly, let alone bring such a big figure as you!" Xiao Jian pinched his sweat and said.
"What then? I don't want to stay here for a moment, I want to get out of this place! Hearing that Xiao Jian would not take her out of the city, Wei Ji stomped her feet anxiously.
"The best thing to do now is for you to stay here and pretend that nothing happened, and we'll find a chance to pick you up when the time comes!"
"You can't even get out now, let alone pick me up in the future." Wei Ji shook his head.
"Give me a moment and let me think about how to escape."
After a while, Xiao Jian slapped his head and shouted, "There you have!" ”
"What's there? What's up? Wei Ji asked with a blank expression.
"I know how to get out!"
"Tell me about it, talk about it quickly!" Wei Ji said anxiously.
"After I took Brother Cat to hide after a while, you went outside the door and called out to the assassins, and then told them that you had wounded the assassins, and that they had fled in the direction of the palace of King Wei. In the end, we left two guards, and after killing them, we can change into their clothes and blend into the city guards, and we will take care of the rest. Xiao Jian finished the plan and looked at Wei Ji's reaction.
"Okay, just do as you say. Call the fool downstairs! Wei Ji said.
Xiao Jian hurriedly went downstairs and dragged Brother Cat upstairs, and the two hid together in a wooden wardrobe on the second floor.
At this time, Wei Ji had already walked downstairs and shouted, "There are assassins, there are assassins!" Come on! ”
As soon as the voice fell, about 20 of the prince's guards of King Wei ran from the shadows outside the princess building, and Wei Ji's heart sank, "What a quick reaction speed, I'm afraid that the second brother has already begun to suspect me, so he has already arranged for them to wait here, right?" ”
"Princess!" A personal guard who led the team ran to the front and saluted.
"What do you eat? Didn't you see an Assassin coming in just now? Princess Wei Ji shouted.
"It's dereliction of duty, and the crime deserves death!" Suddenly, the 20 guards fell to their knees.
"Get up, it's important to catch the assassins, these two assassins have been injured by me, they are fleeing in the direction of the Wei King's bedroom, leave two people for me, and the rest hurry up to chase, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions."
When the captain of the personal guard who led the team heard the opportunity to make meritorious service, his eyes instantly lit up, and then shouted to the left and right, "Leave two people to protect the princess, and the rest of the personnel will come with me!" ”
Before the words fell, the captain had already accelerated towards the Wei King's dormitory with the remaining personnel.
"You two come in and close the door!" Wei Ji ordered the two guards and turned around and entered the small building.
As soon as the two guards closed the door after entering the door, Wei Ji raised the knife in his hand, only to see two knife lights flashing, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
"It's time to come down!" Wei Ji said.
Listening to the sound of "all through", Xiao Jian and Brother Mao had already arrived downstairs, and Brother Mao gasped when he saw the knife on the necks of the two guards, although there were traces of dagger piercing on the necks of the two guards, because the speed of the dagger was extremely fast, so that there was no trace of blood flowing out of the wound.
"What a quick skill!" Xiao Jian said in surprise.
"Humph! Do you think this princess's self-defense is something that ordinary people can withstand? Wei Ji said triumphantly, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and change your clothes!" ”
Xiao Jian nodded, and then changed into the clothes of the two guards with Brother Mao.
"Princess, let's say goodbye, take care!" Xiao Jian clasped his fists and saluted.
"Well, you must remember to come and see me!" Wei Ji instructed.
After the two nodded, they turned around and walked out of the small building, disappearing into the night.
Xiao Jian took the cat brother in the direction he came, looking for the marks he had made before, and finally after passing through the labyrinthine harem road, he successfully reached the wall of the harem garden.
"Brother Cat, this is it, what time is it?" Xiao Jian asked.
"It's almost ugly!" Brother Mao looked up at the moon in the sky and said.
"Okay, we don't have much time left, let's hurry up and set off to the meeting point!" After Xiao Jian finished speaking, he motioned to Brother Mao to take a look, and there were garrison soldiers outside the palace courtyard wall.
Brother Cat jumped up, looked left and right, and said, "Safety! ”
Then Xiao Jian jumped and followed Brother Mao to the outside of the palace wall.
"Stop! Who is coming? At this time, the fire outside the palace wall street exploded, and two teams of city defense soldiers poured towards Xiao Jian and them from the streets on the left and right.
