Ling'er heard the rustling of leaves behind her and couldn't help but look back.
The sight startled her. The bag of food she placed on the dry well was missing! And there was no one in the woods!
Is there a ghost? Ling'er was shocked. She lifted up her skirt and wanted to run outside of Miao Siyuan.
But the moment she turned around, she saw Xu Jun appearing quietly at the entrance of Miao Siyuan.
Ling'er was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah!"
"What are you yelling about? Have you seen a ghost?" Xu Jun stopped him anxiously, almost stepping forward to cover Ling'er's mouth. He originally wanted to come over secretly to inquire about the situation of Miao Siyuan, but Ling'er's exclamation might provoke Ji Cangyu.
Ling'er blinked innocently. She might have really seen a ghost, but even if she saw a ghost, she didn't see Xu Jun as scary.
Seeing Ling'er's face turned pale with fright, Qi Yang felt filled with self-blame. He was the one who frightened Ling'er first.
Qi Yang wanted to take Ling'er into his arms and comfort her, but at this time, he absolutely couldn't show up. He couldn't alert the enemy, and Ji Cangyu might be on his way.
Qi Yang looked in the direction of Miaoyi Yuan, and sure enough he saw Ji Cangyu rushing there in a hurry.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Jun asked angrily.
"I...I'm here to fetch water." Ling'er explained hesitantly. She glanced at the dry well in the forest and thought: "Fortunately, the bag of food disappeared suddenly, otherwise it would have been difficult to tell the lie."
Xu Jun noticed the change in Ling'er's gaze and turned to look at Ku Jing.
"I didn't expect that there was no water in that well." Ling'er quickly explained, fearing that Xu Jun would become suspicious. Then she turned around and walked back to the well where there was water, pretending to draw water.
"Isn't there a well in your Miaoyu Courtyard? Why do you come here to fetch water?" Xu Jun frowned.
Ling'er had just thought about how to answer when she saw Ji Cangyu climbing over the wall and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"It's nothing! I heard something going on in Miao Si Courtyard, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to scare Ling'er," Xu Jun explained.
Ji Cangyu looked at Linger again.
Ling'er just used the words she just thought of: "I want to water the herbs in Miaoshangyuan, so I will come here to get water." She said and shook the bucket in her hand.
Ji Cangyu nodded.
"Who knew that Brother Jun would suddenly appear behind me quietly?" Ling'er said, pretending to be aggrieved.
"Jun'er, you are so serious! You didn't make any movement while walking, which scared Ling'er." Ji Cangyu scolded.
"Didn't I notice something moving in the Miaosi Courtyard and thought an assassin had sneaked in? Isn't it wrong to tread lightly?" Xu Jun hurriedly defended himself.
"That's not right!" Ji Cangyu said with a sullen face, "If you notice anything unusual, you should come to dad as soon as possible! How can you go and check it yourself?"
"I know, kid." Xu Jun could only admit his mistake in a low voice.
Ji Cangyu sighed and said, "Jun'er go back and rest! Ling'er also goes to work!" After saying that, Ji Cangyu walked towards the house.
Seeing that the opportunity to investigate was lost in vain, Xu Jun glared at Ling'er complainingly and turned back to Miaozhuyuan.
Although Ling'er could no longer deliver food to the imprisoned people, she didn't feel any regret. She also guessed Xu Jun's purpose of secretly coming to Miao Siyuan. It was more important than anything else to prevent Xu Jun from finding the location of the secret dungeon. As for delivering food, we can only do it tomorrow.
Ling'er put down the barrel and left Miao Siyuan. Before she left, she took another look at the forest, but she still couldn't figure out how the bag of food disappeared.
---
The moon was covered by layers of dark clouds, and the sky was much darker than usual.
Ji Cangyu sent the children back to their respective courtyards and returned to Miaosi Courtyard.
Ling'er just said that she felt uneasy and worried that something big would happen tonight.
In fact, Ji Cangyu also felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but think of the dream last night, the dream in which Bi'er warned him to be careful.
But what did Bi'er ask him to be careful about? Ji Cangyu looked up at the night sky in confusion, but there was still no moonlight.
Suddenly, an extremely subtle sound came from Ji Cangyu's ears. He instinctively dodged, which actually allowed him to avoid the silent sword that penetrated his chest!
Ji Cangyu was shocked and angry. When did this guy lurk in Miaosi Courtyard? I didn't even notice it at all!
Ji Cangyu quickly rushed forward and exchanged several blows with the black-clothed masked assassin.
The masked assassin in black is Qi Yang.
At this time, Qi Yang was dressed in black and wielding a soft sword with his left hand. The white bandage originally wrapped on his right hand was now covered by a black cloth belt.
Ji Cangyu thought that the other party was Mrs. Piao Piao's man, so he attacked very harshly.
Qi Yang had no choice but to use his real skills to deal with it.
Although Qi Yang has healed his internal injuries, his internal strength has not yet returned to its peak state. But he couldn't wait any longer, because Ji Cangyu also lost internal strength due to excessive blood loss. He wanted to give it a try while Ji Cangyu's internal strength was not fully restored.
Originally, Qi Yang's internal strength was far inferior to Ji Cangyu's, so he had to use tricks to win. Therefore, it is not that important to Qi Yang whether he has fully recovered his internal strength.
Familiar moves, familiar duel, Ji Cangyu recognized the identity of the person at once. It turned out to be the assassin who had been assassinating him all these years!
Ji Cangyu was shocked and stepped aside. Then he carefully looked at the person's figure. Who could he be if he wasn't the assassin? The gloomy sky at this time prevented Ji Cangyu from paying attention to the other party's figure at the first time, and only subconsciously concluded that he was the killer sent by Mrs. Piao Piao.
Ji Cangyu shouted in shock: "It's you! You're not dead?"
Only then did Qi Yang remember that in Ji Cangyu's eyes, with this status, he should have been buried at the bottom of the cliff forever. And this was also the excuse he found for why he never assassinated Ji Cangyu again.
Many things happened in these days, and Qi Yang gradually put this matter behind him.
But what if he remembers it? The master urged him to take action in the letter, but he had no choice but to take action.
And as long as he fights against Ji Cangyu, his identity will inevitably be exposed. In front of a master like Ji Cangyu, he could only use his true skills.
Qi Yang did not answer Ji Cangyu, but raised his sword and attacked again.
Ji Cangyu obviously slowed down his offensive and focused on defense.
In fact, Ji Cangyu was relieved when he learned that the other party was not dead, and he no longer had to feel guilty about that incident from now on. But when he saw that the other party was silent and unwilling to pay attention to him, he was a little angry and said coldly: "Why don't you say anything? Tell me how you didn't fall to death after falling from such a high cliff!"
Qi Yang ignored Ji Cangyu and focused all his attention on the fight.
He didn't understand why Ji Cangyu suddenly weakened his offensive. But even so, he couldn't do anything to Ji Cangyu, because Ji Cangyu's defense was almost watertight.
Originally, Ji Cangyu's martial arts cultivation level was above him. If he wanted to win by chance, he could only rely on his agile body skills. However, at this time, his movement was restricted by his injured right hand and right arm.
Qi Yang was anxious, how could he win over Ji Cangyu?
