Chapter 153 Girl
Fang Ze was startled, and then he was sure that the girl in front of him was not a monster, she just had an extraordinary background. Since she knew Huo Zian, she must be an accomplice of the fake Li King.
His heart moved, he lowered his eyes and said: "Lord Huo is one of our leaders, he has another secret mission."
He was sure of what he said, but Jin Sui's intuition told her that he was lying! If he said he didn't know Huo Zian, or didn't know Huo Zian's mission, she would be skeptical.
But he immediately replied that Huo Zian had a secret mission, and Jin Sui suspected that this was a plot to sow discord.
If you think about it, no one would betray their companions right away.
Huo Zian said that he encountered another group of assassins sent by Prince Yu and their identities were exposed. It seems that these are the people.
She sneered, pulled out the knife again, aimed it at his other big toe, and cut it off as he screamed and begged.
"I told you, don't play tricks on me! I don't have that much time to talk nonsense with you!"
"Now, answer me again, what is Huo Zian's mission?"
Fang Ze was sweating profusely, veins on his temples bulged, his teeth were almost broken, and countless curse words rolled out of his throat, but he didn't dare to curse out loud.
I watched helplessly as my two toes turned into two pieces of rotten meat.
"Huo Zian betrayed the prince, stole the secret letter, and disappeared."
Jin Sui raised an eyebrow: "Secret letter? What did it say?"
Fang Ze gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a small rider, I have no right to know."
Jin Sui believed what he said, and she asked again: "Who is the secret letter for? You must know this, right?"
"General Manager Wu."
Seeing Jin Sui's puzzled expression, he added, "It was Eunuch Wu who went to the border town to announce the decree."
Jin Sui suddenly realized that Huo Zian had stolen the secret letter that Prince Yu was going to give to Eunuch Wu. He wanted to talk to Gu Changxiao alone that day, and they must have been talking about the secret letter.
He shook his head. This had nothing to do with him anymore. The most important thing now was: "Are the people you are chasing an old man and a child?"
Fang Ze nodded and shook his head: "There was also a young man with excellent skills. That young man killed several of our brothers. If it weren't for him, we would have captured the relatives of the fake Li King long ago."
Jin Sui lowered her eyes and thought deeply. After a moment's thought, she identified the person. It was definitely Liu Yun! It seemed that the person who killed the wolf that night was also Liu Yun. He saved Grandpa and Jin An. Jin Sui didn't want to doubt the purpose behind it. Judging from the result alone, Liu Yun was trustworthy.
She thought of the blood on Jin'an's handkerchief and asked, "Which of the three was injured?"
"That young man, he was carrying the child on his back and holding the old man, he was too slow and got stabbed several times."
He added sarcastically, "Haha, if we can't find them tonight, we'll find three frozen corpses tomorrow!"
Jinsui looked at him as if he were a dead man. Just based on this sentence, you will soon go to hell.
"Your mission is to catch the fake Li King, but where is the real Li King?"
Fang Ze shivered, not knowing whether it was due to the cold or excessive blood loss. “The leader said that the Zhenli King will die soon without the intervention of King Yu.”
If Jin Sui hadn't checked Gu Changxiao's pulse, she would have thought he had a terminal illness! She couldn't figure out Prince Yu's train of thought. Why did you catch a fake like me? Well, originally you only had Gu Changxiao as your enemy, and I didn't want to get involved in your royal family's fight for the throne.
Now, you have one more enemy! Even if it's for revenge for the rickshaw boy, I can't let this go! He died when he was my substitute, that is, he died for me, I owe him a life.
Jin Sui finally asked him, "Are you sure those three people escaped to this area?"
Fang Ze nodded: "Sure, the blood trail stops here, they can't get far."
Jin Sui stood up and said, "Very good! You can go find your brother now."
Fang Ze was stunned. Looking for my brother? Does that mean you want me to leave and find someone else?
Then he saw the super-strong girl in front of him picking up the long sword that belonged to his brother.
So, that’s what it means…
Jin Sui piled the two bodies together and simply covered them with weeds. She didn't know how many men in black were there in the area, and it was impossible for her to keep Fang Ze alive.
Fang Ze is different from Huo Zian. She has neither the time nor the desire to instigate rebellion.
She put the two knives into the space. The moon had risen above her head. She took out a flashlight and walked deeper into the woods.
It was a cold night and the temperature dropped suddenly. Her heart began to lift. Fang Ze's words were harsh, but they were true. On such a cold night in the wilderness, one would freeze to death.
Especially Liuyun was seriously injured and lost too much blood.
When he walked to a stone, Jinsui found something familiar, surrounded by several small stones and with a fallen branch in the middle.
Isn't this what Grandpa used to tell fortunes and explore the way? Jin Sui's eyes twitched slightly. In such a dangerous environment, Grandpa didn't forget to tell fortunes! When the three of them were escaping before, Grandpa did the same thing. The wolves were chasing them from behind, and he threw a branch to calculate the direction.
But it was such a coincidence that although it was dangerous every time, I managed to escape successfully.
Jinsui looked in the direction of the branch and saw a dangerous slope. If one had poor eyesight, one would fall down.
But under such a steep slope, it is easy to find natural hiding places.
Jin Sui's heartbeat quickened. She approached the landslide cautiously, shining her flashlight on it, and whispered, "Jin An, Grandpa."
Just as she was supporting herself on a pile of grass, a sword tip suddenly shot out from the bottom to the top and almost stabbed her hand.
She was not surprised but delighted, her voice gradually getting louder: "Jin'an! Grandpa!"
Jin'an's crying voice came from below: "Sister."
Jin Sui also choked up, "It's me, come up quickly."
She lay on the ground, pulling at the dry grass under the slope. The first person to be pulled up was Jin'an. The little guy was holding a sword, and his face was full of vigilance, just like a cow cat trying hard to protect its companions.
After confirming that it was really her sister, she suddenly let go of her hand and hugged Jinan, saying, "Sister, Brother Liuyun is dying."
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "Don't panic, I will save him."
She was about to jump down the slope when she heard Grandpa say, "Don't come down, Sui Sui. I'll push Liu Yun up, and you and Jin An will pull from above."
Liuyun was almost dead, without any consciousness at all. His whole body was limp, allowing the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to drag him back to the ground from the hole like pushing an object.
Grandpa Ling was so tired that he almost couldn't climb up, so Jinsui and Jinan worked together to pull Grandpa up.
Looking at Liuyun's situation again, it is indeed very dangerous. Let's put it this way, if they really freeze in the wilderness for a night, Grandpa Ling and Jin'an have a 50% chance of surviving, but Liuyun is 100% certain to die.
He had lost too much blood, and one of the stab wounds would have pierced his heart if it had gone three inches higher.
Grandpa Ling had already bandaged him with the medicine he brought with him, and Jinsui fed him a few more medicines from the space.
He whispered, "The most important thing right now is to find a safe place for him to recover."
Jinan choked up and said, "Brother Liuyun was seriously injured in order to protect me and Grandpa. If he had escaped on his own, he would have escaped long ago."
Jin Sui knew what the boy was worried about, and said with a sigh, "I won't ignore him."
This was because he was worried that he would be so angry with Gu Changxiao that he would abandon Liuyun and leave him alone.
Grandpa Ling sat on the ground and panted, exhaling clouds of white mist: "Let's leave this damn place first. There is a village not far ahead. Let's give some more money and go there to stay. If we sleep outdoors tonight, Brother Liuyun will die."
Jin Sui asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, how many people were chasing you at that time?"
"There must be at least a dozen!"
Jin Sui was shocked. She had just killed two people...
Just as this thought came to mind, I heard hurried footsteps coming from the woods, as well as suppressed joy: "Found it! Quick, they are here."
Grandpa Ling's first reaction was to continue hiding in the deep pit at the bottom of the slope, but he was already a step too late. The two leading men in black had already jumped towards them with knives in hand.
Jin Sui reacted very quickly, raised his crossbow, and fired a round of fish oil firearm.
A loud bang was like thunder, sending the two men in the lead flying. The flames ignited the dry grass in the woods, forming a wall of fire between the four people and the men in black.
Jin Sui held up Liu Yun and said to Jin An, "Hold Grandpa's hand and go!"
But she underestimated the capabilities of the men in black. They were not as afraid of firearms as the Tartars. Soon several of them went around to the other side and rushed over.
If you get too close and fire the fish oil firearm, the area where you are will also be infected with fire.
Jinsui switched to an anesthetic needle and only shot down one person, but the other man's knife was already approaching.
At the critical moment, Grandpa Ling and Jin'an both rushed over and tried to stand in front of her.
With a "puff" sound, an arrow shot out from behind the few people and hit the chest of the black-clothed man who was rushing over.
Jinsui, Grandpa Ling and Jinan all looked back at the same time and saw a group of people rushing over from a distance. Their goal was clear, which was to kill the man in black in the woods.
Jinsui tried hard to identify under the faint moonlight and firelight that this group of people were not soldiers from the border town.
She knew every soldier in the border town, including the newly recruited soldiers.
She faintly heard someone among the visitors ask, "Where is the King of Li?"
Someone else answered: "Not here, both Taoists are here."
Before Jin Sui could figure out what this meant, he heard someone give the order: "Take them all back!"
She was suddenly startled. Although this unknown team saved them from Prince Yu's men, they didn't sound like good people!
I am a fake Li Wang, but I have become a hot commodity. Why are you trying to rob me? She wanted to rob the horse. If she robbed the horse, the four of them would have a chance to escape. If they fell into the hands of unknown people, who knew what they would face.
It was obvious that Grandpa Ling was planning the same thing. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and they both looked at the horse closest to them.
Jin Sui had just loaded the anesthetic needle onto the crossbow when he suddenly heard Jin An anxiously say, "Sister, be careful!"
She turned her head and before she could see what was going on, she saw a hand with a knife rushing towards her neck with gust of wind. Her vision went black in an instant and she fell down.
He really hunted geese all day and got his eyes pecked by geese. In the past, he used this secret trick to deal with others. Not long ago, he even killed two men in black.
She didn't expect it would be her turn so soon. Before she fell, she saw several people surrounding her, Grandpa Ling, Jin'an, and Liuyun.
The last thought that flashed through my mind was that it looked like they would not be killed. This was good. If they survived, they would have a chance to start over.
But am I destined to be caught forever? From the time I traveled through time until now, I have either been on the run or on the way to being caught...
Soon, Jinsui completely lost consciousness.
After the fight in the woods ended, the group ignored the escaped man in black. Their mission was to rescue King Li and his entourage, not to wipe out the root of the problem.
They carried the four people on their horses and soon arrived at the inn where Jinsui had stayed before. Unlike where she stayed last night, the inn was booked by someone tonight.
Except for two postmen, no outsiders came in or out.
After sending the four people to the wing room, a middle-aged man came in anxiously:
"Have you found the Li King? The one who died in the land temple was not the Li King at all... not Taoist Xiao Ji."
"Housekeeper, we followed the clues and only found these four people. The old Taoist priest and the little Taoist boy are here. The seriously injured one is the Li King's guard. The other one is this girl whose origin is unknown.
We didn’t find Taoist Xiao Ji.”
The housekeeper said anxiously, "Keep looking! The master is still waiting for a letter! Taoist priest Xiao Ji is very smart, he must be hiding somewhere."
As he spoke, he walked forward and took a look at the four people on the bunk bed: Taoist Ji, the little Taoist boy named Jin'an, and the young man whose name he didn't know. He had seen him once in the border town. He had a cold face and was as dumb as a mute.
This girl is really good-looking, she looks familiar! No...
The butler strode forward, carefully reached out his hand, and tried to pull the skin on the edge of the girl's forehead. He soon confirmed the fact that there was no disguise.
A bold idea came to his mind, and he took a few steps back in shock. His face suddenly changed. Impossible! This is impossible! He looked at the girl's chest, and quickly turned his face away, not looking at anything inappropriate.
"Go find a nanny to change this girl's clothes."
The main purpose was to confirm, was this really a girl? Based on what the fake Li Wang did in the border town, and his understanding of Taoist Xiao Ji, and his unruly and unrestrained personality, it was not impossible for him to disguise himself as a woman to escape.
The nanny brought her here quickly. The housekeeper was used to being cautious, so regardless of whether the "girl" in front of her was a boy or a girl, she first carried her to another room and then closed the door for the nanny to see.
When the nanny asked her to confirm the gender, she frowned and pinched a fly to death. The housekeeper was middle-aged, so how could she be so confused?
Is this a man or a woman? Do they need her to look at him? Look at that palm-sized white face and black hair. Even the eunuchs in the palace who were castrated at a young age could not look this handsome!
But she still obeyed the order and went in, closed the doors and windows, and took off the girl's clothes layer by layer. When only two jackets were left, she was sure.
"It's a girl!"
The butler hissed, nearly tearing out a few strands of his beard, and walked around in circles in the corridor: "Impossible! How could this happen?"
Then he asked Mammy, "Are you sure?"
The nanny rolled her eyes and said, "I am in my 60s and 70s and I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman!"
You think they all look like you! The butler took off his hat and fanned himself. He felt very hot. There really was a girl lying inside. This completely broke his decades-long cognition.
Watching the cold wind blowing the treetops, the nanny became more and more certain that the housekeeper was young and had a bad brain. It was so cold that it was hot enough to fan the wind! "Housekeeper, if you keep turning, I'm going to feel dizzy. What's wrong with the girl inside? She doesn't eat people."
The housekeeper was so anxious that his face turned pale: "It's more terrifying than eating people! Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you. Go find a set of clean clothes for the girl to change into."
He also ordered the guards: "Hurry up and prepare the carriage, make it warm, and send the man to the master overnight."
The guard asked hurriedly: "What about the other three people?"
"Old and young, injured, send them to Plum Blossom Villa to be taken care of. Send someone to erase all traces in the woods. Make sure no one finds them."
