Ji Mingshuang sighed: "Why is Lao Liu coming back so soon?"
Ji Yunxi sighed, "Didn't Sixth Brother say that he hadn't found the Poison Lady yet? Why is he back now?"
"Soon?" Ji Mingxi looked at the brother and sister strangely. "Mingyan, I remember, has been away from home for almost three months. What? Don't you miss Mingyan? I haven't seen him for several months. I miss him a little."
Ji Mingshuang & Ji Yunxi: "..."
The aftereffects of the news Ji Mingxi brought were somewhat serious.
So much so that several hours later, Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingshuang were still discussing this matter while sitting in the carriage.
Ji Mingshuang said seriously, "Old Qin invited me to Yuzhou, and I was still considering it. But now I think Yuzhou is great, with beautiful scenery, and it would be a pity not to go."
Ji Yunxi reached out and grabbed her brother's sleeve, her eyes moving: "Seventh brother, my marriage is not yet arranged, you can't leave, you have to give me some advice."
Ji Mingshuang loosened her fingers little by little and said with a chuckle, "Will you listen to me when you decide? I'd better go to Yuzhou to relax."
Ji Yunxi: "New Year is coming soon, it's a day for reunion."
Ji Mingshuang: "Big brother said that as long as our hearts are together, it doesn't matter where we are."
Ji Yunxi didn't say anything else.
It was already midnight outside, the night was deep and quiet, with only the howling of the cold winter wind.
The wind blew the curtains like white sails on the sea, as if they would be blown down in the next moment.
She looked through the curtains at the endless darkness outside.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Ji Yunxi got off the carriage first, followed by Ji Mingshuang.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he realized something was wrong: "Why did you bring me here?"
Chapter 12 Meeting Gift
The place where the carriage stopped was the Wu family in Xinchangfang.
On a winter night, there was no one on the street, only the cold wind.
Lanterns were hung in front of every house nearby, the dim lights faintly illuminating everything around.
The door of the Wu family in front of him was closed, there was not even a lantern, and he was plunged into complete darkness.
A gust of cold wind swept past again, blowing Ji Yunxi's long hair fluttering.
She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes and held onto the heater. As she spoke, white mist rose in the dim light.
Ji Yunxi lied casually: "The eldest son fell into the water a few days ago, and I was worried. I happened to be passing by, so I thought I would take a look first. It won't be too late to do anything after that."
Ji Mingshuang looked at Ji Yunxi's face.
Her beautiful face was expressionless and calm, and her tone was the same as usual.
She didn't seem worried at all.
But she kept saying that she was worried.
There is a strange contradiction.
Ji Mingshuang: "Sometimes I really don't understand. Do you really like Wu Wei'an? Or Yang Weitian?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I really like Master Wu recently."
As for Yang Weitian, from the moment he broke off the engagement, who he was had nothing to do with her anymore.
The door was locked and the two couldn't get in.
I knocked on the door for a while, but no one came to open it.
Ji Ming leaned to one side with his arms folded across his chest, looking calm and composed: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Seventh Brother." Ji Yunxi said helplessly, "Please help me."
"No." Ji Mingshuang held a leaf from who knows where in his mouth, "You came to see your lover, and you expect your brother to help you pry the door open?"
Ji Yunxi didn't say anything else, just stared at Ji Mingshuang with her eyes without blinking.
Ji Mingshuang pretended to ignore him.
But after a while, he surrendered: "Alright, alright, I'll pry it open, okay?"
Ji Yunxi smiled, her eyebrows raised: "Thank you, Brother Qi."
Ji Mingshuang walked over, raised his hand slightly and pushed, and the heavy door creaked open.
Some tiny noises that were originally blocked by the door and the night suddenly came.
It was the sound of swords clashing.
Ji Mingshuang, who had a nonchalant look on his face, suddenly looked at Ji Yunxi.
Without further hesitation, the two of them headed towards the direction of the sound.
As soon as they arrived at the side yard, they found seven or eight men in black holding swords surrounding Wu Weian's door.
At the door, Wanxiang stood there guarding it, her face as cold as ice, not even a whit of retreat.
Behind him, Wu Weian huddled there with a pale face, trembling all over.
Seeing the two people suddenly appear in the yard, the men in black looked at each other and accelerated their attack.
Wanxiang countered the attacks, but it was already a bit strenuous.
Ji Mingshuang subconsciously put his sister behind him and asked, "Why is Wanxiang here?"
Ji Yunxi didn't seem to have expected to see this scene, her face pale. "I was afraid those noble family members would come and make things difficult for him, so I asked Wanxiang to protect him. I didn't expect it, Seventh Brother, what do these people want to do?"
Ji Mingshuang didn't rush forward immediately, but instead carefully observed the moves of those people: "They are killers. Ji San, be careful and hide."
"I know, don't worry, Seventh Brother." Ji Yunxi took a few steps back and found a bush to hide herself.
Seeing this, Ji Mingshuang drew out the soft sword from his waist. The frosty silver light flashed in the night, and he appeared behind the man in black, working together with Wanxiang.
Ji Mingshuang has been traveling around the world since he was a child, fighting alone. He encountered many opportunities along the way and developed excellent martial arts skills.
Wanxiang is not bad either. Ji Mingshuang would often exchange ideas with Wanxiang and give her some advice.
For a moment, the two men gained the upper hand and forced the men in black to retreat step by step.
The men in black were even more ruthless, and every move was intended to kill.
Seeing this, Ji Mingshuang no longer cared too much and his sword was filled with murderous intent.
Swords and knives have no mercy, and soon several bodies were found in the yard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men in black flashed and ran away.
Ji Mingshuang asked Wanxiang to stay and immediately chased after her.
He really couldn't imagine how such a small Wu family could attract so many killers.
