Happy little peasants

Chapter 502 The Red Mark

Zhang Hui guessed that it was Xie Zhuo who had just dealt the fatal blow to the man in black, and now that the man in black is dead, Xie Zhuo has not appeared. He looked around and shouted: "Uncle Master, is it you?"

Ji Yuan heard Zhang Hui calling "Uncle Master" and guessed that the person who just helped secretly was Xie Zhuo. He followed Zhang Hui and looked around, waiting for Xie Zhuo to show up.

After Zhang Hui yelled a few times, Xie Zhuo still didn't see Xie Zhuo come out. After a while, Xie Zhuo’s old and childish voice came from the air: "Don’t shout, I don’t like to see Chang Tong’s salted fish face. Go too!"

Then there was silence around, and it seemed that Xie Zhuo had really left.

Zhang Hui smiled helplessly, and sighed in his heart: "Uncle Master has a weird temper. The last time Mr. Xu went to the food to take me back to the mountain, Uncle Master didn't wait to see Mr. Xu. He was very particular about letting him show up and meet someone. ."

Seeing that Xie Zhuo refused to show up, Ji Yuan squatted down next to Chang Tong and inspected the body with Chang Tong.

Chang Tong rummaged through this person but didn't find any clues. He said to Ji Yuan: "His Royal Highness, these two assassins were prepared to die. They didn't carry anything that could reveal their identities. I also took a look at the people who are both of them the same."

Ji Yuan said, "Yes, they are ready to die. The person who makes the sword knows that if you can't beat you, you will still be drawn away, just to let his companions come and take my life."

Hearing Ji Yuan's remarks, Chang Tong pointed out the mistake he had just made, and he knelt on the ground in fright: "Your Highness, forgive me, it was just the careless man."

Ji Yuan helped Changtong up and comforted: "Senior brother does not listen to people's advice, but in Lushan you are my senior brother. Without your kneeling me, get up quickly."

Zhang Hui looked at him and sighed that Ji Yuan did have a king's mind. Because of Chang Tong's mistake, Ji Yuan almost lost his life. Ji Yuan pointed out Chang Tong's mistake, but still respected Chang Tong as a senior, instead of prince. To blame him for his identity.

Chang Tong stood up with a look of shame, seeing Ji Yuan's face a little pale and frowning from time to time, as if he was suffering from physical pain, he asked, "How is your highness's injuries, do you want to go back to Lushan for healing?"

"It can stand it. I have made an appointment with the people from the capital to meet today. I can't delay it." Ji Yuan replied.

There is an unwritten rule between the Qi State Court and Lushan, that is, Lushan does not recognize the rules and customs of the court, Lushan does not welcome the army to Lushan, and everyone who goes to Lushan shall be treated as civilians regardless of their official title. The guard sent by the capital to pick up Ji Yuan met him in Lushan, the nearest city to Lushan.

Ji Yuan glanced at the black-clothed assassin, and then said: "It seems that the other party knows that I can't do my best in the period of broken mirror..."

"Your Highness!"

Before Ji Yuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Zhou. Chang Zhou frowned at Ji Yuan, then turned his face to look at Zhang Hui, indicating that Ji Yuan's words could not be heard by outsiders.

Ji Yuan smiled relievedly, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm all my own now, there's nothing to say about it. This time the other party planned very well. If it weren't for Zhang Hui's wit, I might have died here. "

Changtong lowered his head again ashamed when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness's blessing to turn the crisis into safety is the blessing of His Highness, and the Caomin dare not take credit." Zhang Huidao.

Ji Yuan patted Zhang Hui's shoulder and looked at him appreciatively: "Although you don't have much effort on your body, you are not chaotic and able to adapt to changes. I admire him."

At this time, Li Ya, the big disciple of the Zhigongyuan, brought more than a dozen people with him.He got off his horse, saw the man in black lying on one side, and looked at Ah Si who was so scared that he hadn't recovered. After guessing what had just happened, he bowed to Ji Yuan and asked anxiously. Said: "How is your Highness's injuries?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and signaled that his injury was OK.

Li Ya went on to say: "A disciple on the way told the courtyard that His Highness had a fight with people, and Cao Min immediately brought people over. There has never been anyone daring to act recklessly on the people of Lushan. Your Highness, go down the mountain."

Ji Yuan waved his hand: "No, just have Brother Chang here."

"The Caomin took the assassin back and immediately investigated the matter." Li Ya said, and looked at Zhang Hui. "This Junior Brother Zhang witnessed the whole thing, so let me go back and cooperate with our investigation."

Ji Yuan nodded and walked to Zhang Hui: "Brother Zhang, don't pass this time. I will arrange for someone to inquire about your father. You can rest assured. When I come back, let's go horse riding and drinking in Luyang City, haha !"

Zhang Hui said goodbye to Ji Yuan. On the way back to Lushan, he kept thinking about what had just happened. He always felt that Ji Yuan was not easy, and he felt that he would be in touch with this person in the days of Lushan.

Li Ya took the bodies of the two assassins to Zhigongyuan, and after repelling the unrelated personnel, asked the two disciples to remove the assassins’ clothes, to see if there were any special marks on the two people, because their faces were already After being damaged, it is no longer possible to distinguish the original appearance.

Li Ya and Zhang Hui stood beside the assassin's corpse. While helping to check the corpse, they talked about the whole process of assassinating Ji Yuan.

Before long, someone shouted outside: "Brother Li, Mr. Xu is here."

Li Ya hurried to open the door, greeted Xu Gui in, and told Li Ya about what happened.

Xu Gui heard Li Ya say that the murderer was like a disciple from Lushan, his face immediately became unsightly, and coldly said: "Who said that he must be Lushan disciple? Don't say so deadly!"

"Senior Brother Changtong and His Highness Seven both said that these two people are like Lushan's Kung Fu Roads, one Jian Sect and the other Qi Sect." Li Ya continued.

Xu Gui saw that Li Ya was so sure that he couldn't argue for a while, so he only glanced at Li Ya unhappily.

Zhang Hui looked at him and felt that Xu Gui was not happy because Li Ya said something wrong, but because he didn't want the two killers to come from Lushan.

Xu Gui told the two Zhigengyuan disciples who were examining the corpse to retreat and walk straight to the older assassin. He bends slightly, his eyes fixed on the assassin's hand.

Zhang Hui thought Xu Gui had seen something, so he walked over to Xu Gui.

He saw a red mark on the assassin's wrist. The mark was even in color, there were no blood spots, and the edges were clear.When he was about to tell his findings, the mark suddenly became bloody, as if someone had cut off the mark invisibly.

He blinked vigorously, suspecting that his dazzle was wrong.He squatted down next to the killer. From the corner of his eye, he just saw Xu Gui's fingers retracting backwards. The gesture was a bit weird. It didn't seem to hang naturally, but with strength, like someone who just passed the work. Look like.
