Chapter 64 Ambush
Chapter 64 Ambush
Yu Lie stopped in his tracks, spotted an empty alley and jumped down. After Jing Zhao landed beside him, the two discussed it and decided to detour to Jiangfu to find an opportunity.
"Jiang Feiyang is from the Jiang family. Although he has his own small house, he spends most of his time wandering around Jiang Baili. He only returns to his home at night when he goes to bed, and sometimes he doesn't even return, so he just stays here," Yu Lie explained. road.
"Then do we still have a chance? We have to go back to school before dinner today." Jing Zhao was a little worried.
"Before I left, I specially left a note for Jiang Baili, reminding him to be careful about his head. The news of Zhou Huai's murder should spread to Jiang's residence immediately. It will depend on whether they are afraid to hide at home or I will rush out to find the murderer."
"Then wait a little longer." Jing Zhao nodded, and then cried again, "I'm going back to school soon...I haven't played enough yet."
Yu Lie rolled his eyes at him, then knocked him on the forehead, "You're still playing, since such a big incident happened last night, it's better to stay in the academy."
Jing Zhao smirked, "Don't say it, I really miss Brother Daqi."
Yu Lie was speechless, and pushed him a bit, "Go, go back, go find your brother Da Qi."
"Oh, come on, I just love being with you." Jing Zhao smiled foolishly, and sure enough, he could be tricked by teasing Yu Lie like this.
The two of them hid in the haystack and fought for a while. Seeing a few people coming out of Jiangfu, they stretched their heads and closed the gate.
"Yes, there's no need to wait." Yulie said, "Go back and find the Ten Elders to issue a mission to kill Jiang Feiyang."
He got up and patted his body, and went back with Jing Zhao.
Liu Zhiyu was making his tea in the courtyard, looking very comfortable, probably he had already dealt with Jiang Baili's matter.When I saw them, I immediately asked, "Did you get it?"
Jing Zhao raised his arms proudly, "Of course, I solved Zhou Huai myself. But after the people in Jiangfu got the news, they couldn't leave the door behind closed doors. Jiang Feiyang's life will keep him for a few more days."
"Get another small weapon from the arsenal, and take self-defense with you." Liu Zhiyu smiled, doting on this apprentice very much.
Yu Lie poured tea for himself and Jing Zhao, and said, "Ten Elders, we are going back soon, Jiang Feiyang asks you to send a mission, we must succeed with one hit, to prevent future troubles."
After Jing Zhao picked up the teacup and drank the tea, he was about to drag them to the armory.There are not many weapons there, and they are all good ones selected from the new weapons that come in every time, and the quality is good, so they are put together as spare weapons for the masters.
"Oh—that's amazing, so many new ones!" Jing Zhao opened the door and immediately began to examine it carefully.
"The small weapons that can be hidden close to the body are all here." Liu Zhiyu led them to a cabinet, pulled out the drawer, and weapons such as darts and silver needles were neatly placed inside.
Jing Zhao took a look and took out a uniquely shaped throwing knife, "I think this handle is good, the handle curve is suitable for me, and this kind of blade design will cause a lot of wounds and lacerations, and accelerate the death of the enemy."
After he finished speaking, he handed the flying knife to Yu Lie to show him, Liu Zhiyu glanced at him, "It's really good, take it."
Yu Lie returned the knife to Jing Zhao, "Be careful and put it away, don't accidentally hurt yourself because of this thing."
"Will I be so stupid?" Jing Zhao angrily threatened Yu Lie while playing with the flying knife.
When you're done, when you return to Chixiao again, it's like another world here.
What happened on Pofeng's side was like the dark side under the blue sky and white sun. The students in Chixiaoli, who would have thought of the murder case that happened in the imperial city in the past two days and the sinister activities behind it.
The moment they walked into the school, both of them seemed to have changed their skin, becoming a normal soldier.
Within a few days, the news of Zhou Huai's death came in, which inevitably aroused the public's hesitation.
After the beginning of spring, Zhao Xiuliang became more and more fond of taking everyone to practical lessons, and there is no age difference between him and everyone.Therefore, they played very enthusiastically with each other, and sometimes assigned tasks all over the mountains and plains when they got excited.
On this day, Qin Yuetu convened a morning meeting and informed that His Majesty would leave the palace to go hunting in the mountains in ten days, and Chi Xiao's recruits were called in, just in time to test the results of the past few months.
In order to prove Chi Xiao's excellence in front of His Majesty, the teachers and students worked very hard.In the afternoon, Zhao Xiuliang released everyone up the mountain again with drums and gongs.
Fortunately, Fengqing City is located in a place with many mountains and forests, so it is not far to go up the mountain to play.This time, Zhao Xiuliang asked everyone to disperse on their own, and used hunting as the class content.
Yu Lie and Jing Zhao, in order to avoid robbing prey with others in crowded places and getting into disputes, ran all the way for a long distance before starting to look for prey.
They fell silent and took aim.Jing Zhao looked at a dirty rabbit in the distance, curled up into a ball, its ears twitching like it was eating.
"Why don't you kill it." Jing Zhao hesitated, suddenly feeling a little pitiful for the rabbit.
"...The people you killed before are probably going to be angry."
Jing Zhao snorted a little, and at the same time loosened his finger, the arrow flew away without a trace.Yu Lie turned his head and saw that the gray rabbit had been hit and died.
"Not bad." Yulie praised.
Yu Lie also shot a few birds down, and they were playing while walking, when suddenly Yu Lie grabbed Jing Zhao.
"Not quite right ahead." The sharpness of his senses made him alert.
Although Jing Zhao's cultivation level is not enough, he can't hear the movement that Yu Lie can hear most of the time, but at this time, he also walks lightly, walking behind Yu Lie, keeping vigilance.
When they got closer, they saw about 30 to [-] people in front of them, wearing coarse and torn clothes, but they moved extremely lightly and cautiously, not knowing what to do.
They had no choice but to follow. This matter was definitely not easy.
"Brother, we have been following for a long time, why are they still walking?" Jing Zhao's patience was about to be worn out.
"Wait a minute, would a normal person gather two or thirty people and go up the mountain to play?"
"We're not."
"...These people look very thieves, they don't look like members of the regular army."
Just as they were talking, the group of people stopped. They were standing on the largest road up the mountain, which was also the main road.
Jing Zhao said, "Could it be that they want to rob people who go up the mountain here?"
"I can't tell. But they are robbing, why do they have to walk around the mountain road first, and then come back to ambush?"
"Maybe they are cautious, they have to check the terrain before ambush."
The crowd in the distance lowered their figures, and it was not clear what they were doing from the perspective of Yu Lie and Jing Zhao.
After a while, I saw people leaving from the road down the mountain.
Yu Lie and Jing Zhao glanced at each other, and saw the doubts on each other's faces.
"Go and have a look." Yulie said.
After walking a little closer, Jing Zhao suddenly shouted, "Look! This kind of line!"
Yu Lie squatted down and lightly touched the thin thread tied between the tree trunks with his hand, he naturally knew this.It is specially used for ambushes, extremely fine silver wire, killing people invisible.
Yu Lie stretched out his hand and grabbed Jing Zhao who wanted to pass through the thin thread, "Don't go, let's go back."
"Oh."
He didn't know what these people were doing with the traps, maybe they weren't trying to catch them, he was sure they hadn't been found.Furthermore, I don't know how many traps are ahead, so there is no need to take this risk.
After returning to the camp, I saw that everyone had returned and had a great harvest.On the other hand, looking at the pitiful little rabbit and bird in the hands of the two of them, they were a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xiuliang saw them all the way, "Hey! Jing Zhao! Yu Lie! What's going on with you two!"
When he called out, the others all turned to look at them, and burst out laughing.
"Oh, little general Zhao, save some face!" Because of Jing Zhao's young age, everyone usually gave way to him, and Zhao Xiuliang never made things difficult for him.
Zhao Xiuliang waved at them, "Come here! Come back to the team, I have something to say."
He went on to say, "The mountain will be closed tomorrow, let's change this course to a group competition! I know that your weapon class is also a competition, so in my class, you will compete as a team."
"Huh? I just love playing in the mountains! Don't compete!"
"Did you go up to play!!"
The students immediately complained to Zhao Xiuliang, there was a loud quarrel, and the two sides started arguing with each other.
Yu Lie raised his hand speechlessly and said, "Why did you close the mountain?"
When the others heard it, they also asked: "Yes, why?"
Zhao Xiuliang asked everyone to calm down, "I told you people, you forgot what you just said in the morning. Naturally, it is because His Majesty went hunting in the palace, and no one is allowed to go up the mountain in our area."
Yu Lie's eyebrows twitched, and he had a bold guess in his heart.
Only four days later, news came back from outside that Jiang Feiyang had been assassinated.
This incident caused Jiang Baili to stay behind closed doors, and did not go to the early court, and he seemed to have been severely injured.Yu Lie heaved a sigh of relief, after he was dealt with, Nan Jiyang's side should also restrain themselves, and since then they have been able to calm down for a long time.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Nan Jiyang left the palace. Except for a few of Chi Xiao's students who stayed behind to guard, almost all of them ran to the gate of Fengqing City to wait for Nan Jiyang's team.
Nan Jiyang's holy sedan chair stopped in front of the city gate, he got out of the sedan chair, and then changed horses to ride.Yu Lie looked around, but Jiang Baili, who usually followed Sheng Jia, did not appear.General Fan Fuming took his place, and Qin Yuetu, as Fan Fuming's deputy, also walked behind Nan Jiyang to protect his safety.
There were not many ministers accompanying him, but Yu Lie felt a little strange about Chi Kun's appearance.
You must know that such hunting activities are generally not attended by civil servants. People like Chikun who ride horses and have to be led by others can only watch others play when they arrive at the hunting ground, which is boring for themselves.
Chi Xiao's students were all walking in front of and on both sides of Nan Jiyang. Jing Zhao quietly turned his head and glanced at the carriage that was still following in the procession, a little curious: "Since His Majesty is already riding a horse, why does that sedan chair still follow?"
Yuan Qi walked beside him and said: "There are still imperial concubines sitting in the sedan chair."
