Chapter 70 He is the murderer of your mother

Jiang Jiu had no idea when Lu Yunyang came in?

Just like a gust of wind, Lu Yunyang appeared beside her and snatched her away from Zhao Li's hands in an instant.

Then he slapped Zhao Li, but fortunately Zhao Li reacted quickly and blocked the attack, and the two of them separated in an instant.

There were some cracks on the wall at the back door, and a branch had broken off from a tree not far away.

"What are you doing? He is still injured." Jiang Jiu pushed Lu Yunyang away angrily and ran directly to Zhao Li.

In front of the two people, he ripped off Zhao Li's clothes, touched his chest, and only put his clothes back on after seeing that there was no blood seeping out.

He turned around and protected Zhao Li behind him, glaring at Lu Yunyang and angrily scolding him.

"What are you doing? You're so reckless."

Lu Yunyang was completely stunned, and for a moment he felt anger rising in his heart. His peach blossom eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the man behind Jiang Jiu with a glare as sharp as a knife.

"Who are you?"

Before Zhao Li could answer, Jiang Jiu answered first: "He was just a passerby who was injured and fainted in front of the temple. I happened to save him."

Lu Yunyang narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and said, "He's just a passerby, why are you so nervous?"

Jiang Jiu glanced around with clear eyes. Although her martial arts skills were not very high, she could tell from her intuition that the surroundings were full of experts. As long as Zhao Li dared to harm Lu Yunyang, they could kill him with one move.

"I'm not nervous, I just don't want you to slander people."

Lu Yunyang took two steps forward slowly: "Come here."

His already noble temperament became even more arrogant at this moment, and he exuded an indescribable majesty.

Just when Jiang Jiu was about to step back, suddenly, her arm was pulled back forcefully, and she felt a chill on her slender neck.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her."

Zhao Li kidnapped Jiang Jiu.

Now even Jiang Jiu was panicked. He opened his mouth, but couldn't even shout for help. He looked at Lu Yunyang helplessly and annoyed.

But she noticed that there was indifference in Lu Yunyang's stern eyes, and a sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips: "She saved you, and you want to kill her? Good, very good, you are really a hero."

However, Zhao Li ignored Lu Yunyang and forced Jiang Jiu to go back to the recuperation room with him. As soon as he entered the room, he bolted the door tightly.

"What are you doing? He doesn't know you, why are you doing this?"

After Jiang Jiu was free, he immediately rushed to the door and wanted to leave.

Zhao Li stood directly behind him, looking at Jiang Jiu with complicated eyes, and suddenly asked: "Don't you know his true identity yet?"

Jiang Jiu was slightly stunned. Who is his real identity? Lu Yunyang?

The puzzled look made Zhao Li think that Jiang Jiu was still kept in the dark.

"He is the current emperor's younger brother, the ninth prince, Prince Qi, Zhao Zhuoxi."

It turns out that his real name is Zhao Zhuoxi, which sounds like a very sunny and bright name, and is similar to the word Yunyang.

But she already knew the identity of the Ninth Prince.

Who is this man in front of her? She doesn't know anything about him.

Who knew Zhao Li added: "It was also him who schemed to kill your mother and forced you, the daughter of a prime minister, to wander around."

What? Jiang Jiu felt that his brain was suddenly not enough.

My mind went blank.

"Who are you? How do you know all this?"

This man has been so mysterious from the beginning, but Jiang Jiu was skeptical about what he said based on his intuition.

Zhao Li was unwilling to reveal his identity and just explained: "Don't worry about who I am. Anyway, I won't hurt you."

Jiang Jiu looked the man in front of him up and down, took a few steps back and remained alert.

"I don't believe you. Even if you want to slander someone, you need evidence. Without evidence, I won't believe anything you say."

Zhao Li snorted coldly: "I didn't slander him. When you arrive in the capital and meet your father, you will know the truth. To tell you the truth, the reason why he didn't kill you now is just because you hold the secret of Yiye Guzhou in your hands."

Jiang Jiu took out the sharp dagger from his boots and held it in front of him.

"I am the successor of Yiyeguzhou, but I have already disbanded Yiyeguzhou, and the secret has long been made public. Now I am no longer of much use to him. You are trying to provoke my trust in him just for money. Just tell me the amount and I will give it to you."

I thought I was rescuing someone, but I ended up being kidnapped.

Zhao Li lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I did it for money? What a joke, Miss Jiu, you are right, for so many years, I have always been by your side, protecting you, watching you grow up, watching you do everything, is it just for money?"

Jiang Jiu actually always felt that there was a pair of eyes beside him and thought it was an illusion, but he didn't expect it to be real.

"You've been following me all this time? Who are you?"

Seeing that Jiang Jiu was too vigilant, Zhao Li took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Have you seen this jade pendant? Your mother gave it to me before she died. She would have someone deposit 100 taels of silver into my bank account every month."

Jiang Jiu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. To be honest, this jade pendant was very familiar.

As for the rest, Jiang Jiu still said the same thing: without evidence, she didn't believe a word of it.

"So, it was my mother who hired you as my bodyguard? But you never showed up in all these years?"

Zhao Li laughed contemptuously: "How could there be no one? You were kidnapped, wasn't it me who saved you?"

Jiang Jiu finally matched the person in his memory: "It turned out to be you."

Zhao Li nodded: "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe your mother."

"I believe you." Jiang Jiu answered decisively, "But how did you get the injuries? Also, besides being my bodyguard, don't you have any other identity?"

Zhao Li smiled bitterly: "As expected, you are getting smarter and smarter. You can't hide anything. In addition to protecting you, I am also a killer. Cang Jiu, do you know this organization?"

"I am one of the killers. As long as there is a mission issued, every killer in the organization can take it. Each time, you can get 50 taels of silver to more than 200 taels."

Jiang Jiu asked in confusion: "Doesn't my mother give you 100 taels every month? Logically, you don't need money, so why do you want to be a killer to make money?"

Zhao Li sighed: "It's because I still have a sick mother. My father died early, and she lived alone with me. Her age has damaged her health. I need to make money to treat her illness and buy medicine. If it weren't for those expensive herbs, she would have passed away long ago."

After hearing this, Jiang Jiu almost gave up his vigilance towards Zhao Li, and a sense of sympathy rose in his heart.

"You are really a filial child. Generally speaking, people who are kind and filial in their hearts are not bad people."

Zhao Li added: "The Ninth Prince killed your mother and wanted to steal your money. Now that you are of no use to him, there is no guarantee that he will not want to kill you."

"Come with me. I will take you to the capital to look for your father. With him here, even the emperor will not make things difficult for you."
