The two men stared at Ji Xingzhi intently, not because they were greedy for money, but because they wanted to prevent Ji Xingzhi from escaping, so they kept staring at Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi looked up at the two of them and continued, "My identity is not simple. If my family knew I was missing, they would definitely search for me vigorously, causing a sensation in the city. Sooner or later, they would find me here."
However, the two men didn't even frown and continued to stare at Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi was helpless and muttered, "If you don't believe it, forget it."
Then, Ji Xingzhi lay on the haystack with a helpless look on his face, looking like he was dozing with his eyes closed, but his mind was already full of thoughts.
These people are definitely not ordinary people. Even two ordinary soldiers and generals are not tempted by profit. They are not simple...
After about an hour, two men came to the woodshed and replaced the two men who were originally guarding Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi opened her eyes slightly. The door of the woodshed was not closed. Ji Xingzhi looked outside. The sun was setting in the west and it was getting dark. If the middle-aged man was not ready to come, she would have to find a way to get away. It would not be a good idea to stay here all the time.
Ji Xingzhi waited for a while, and everything was quiet as usual. She sighed slowly. It seemed that she had to go back and ask Wu Fang to investigate. She was afraid that something might go wrong if they couldn't find her in the palace and she didn't go back for a long time.
After making a secret decision, Ji Xingzhi sat up calmly, and moved his hands that were tied behind his back flexibly. Just as the rope loosened a little, the two men guarding the door suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground almost at the same time.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned and looked up, only to see a hazy green figure walking towards him against the light, his clothes fluttering, his black hair moving without wind, and his whole body exuding an aura that kept people at a distance. His face could not be seen clearly because he was facing away from the light, but the only person in the Five States who could wear green clothes so elegantly and refinedly was Xiao Moyan.
Xiao Moyan walked over slowly, squatted down, reached out to untie the rope for Ji Xingzhi, with no emotion on his face.
Ji Xingzhi suddenly came back to her senses at this moment, looked up at Xiao Moyan, and asked in confusion: "Uncle? Why are you here?"
Xiao Moyan helped Ji Xingzhi up and said calmly, "Just passing by."
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. It was obviously a perfunctory response. Just passing by? This road is probably a bit far. The Regent Palace is located in the south of the city, and this is in the north of the city. You worry about her, so you worry about her. How dishonest...
Suddenly, Ji Xingzhi's brows tightened, as if he had thought of something, and his face froze for a moment: "Uncle, you sent someone to follow me?"
Otherwise, how could the emperor's uncle, who rarely goes out, suddenly appear here?
Xiao Moyan paused for a moment, then took Ji Xingzhi's hand and walked out of the woodshed. As he walked, he replied, "Let's go back. We shouldn't stay here for long."
Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan silently and said nothing more.
As the two of them walked into the yard, Xiao Moyan suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
Ji Xingzhi looked around in confusion, but didn't see any ambush. So he asked in confusion, "Uncle Emperor? Aren't you leaving?"
Xiao Moyan let go of Ji Xingzhi's hand and whispered, "It's too late."
Before Ji Xingzhi could ask, there were suddenly several sounds of breaking through the air, and several masked men in black appeared on the ground. There were nine of them in total, all of whom looked injured, with the same jade token hanging around their waists.
Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi's face suddenly changed. Regardless of Xiao Moyan's presence, he stepped forward to help one of the men in black up and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The man in black lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "Master, we were originally guarding this place in secret to protect your safety, but somehow, we were ambushed. We finally managed to escape, pretending to leave, and then turned back when they were chasing us."
"Is it the group of people who arrested me?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
The man in black nodded slightly: "Yes."
After getting confirmation, Ji Xingzhi had to re-examine the group of suspicious people.
