"Junior sister, come with me!"
Zhang Li said hello to Hong Xiao, and the two of them bent down and leaned against the wall and walked towards the other side of the Buddha statue.
"Brother, there is a group of people coming outside. I am afraid that the people who come here are evil. While they are still confronting each other, there is still a chance. Why don't you come with us!!"
Jia Qi slowly opened his eyes. He already knew what was going on outside, but he guessed that these people were not here to find him.
Firstly, his whereabouts cannot be controlled by those people. Secondly, the people who can make enemies with him will not be this kind of people even if they really send people to kill him. If we say that the bodyguards in the ruined temple are more possible.
Lurking around him, waiting for opportunities to poison him, or act secretly. And the assassination would never be done openly. In fact, it is wrong to say that. To assassinate under the cover of night cannot be regarded as aboveboard.
The two groups of people in front of the temple must have bumped into each other by chance. And one of them, that is, the pair of people dressed in dark green clothing, he knew that the people he got rid of outside the capital were all dressed in this way.
They are the Emperor's people.
Jia Qi thought about it but didn't refuse. Those people were not good people. Even if they guessed that he was here, it would be difficult to guarantee that the other party would not take action.
Especially myself like this...
Although his injuries have recovered somewhat, they are not much better. This time the injury does not seem to be as easy as he imagined.
However, he had a feeling that he would achieve a breakthrough in his realm after recovering from his injuries.
Now his mind is not to take action if he can. It is not worth it to make the injury that has finally improved again worsen for these trivial things in front of him.
And he contacted Xueying using a secret method. Although he has not found any trace of them yet, according to his estimation, they should be here soon.
"What are your plans??"
Jia Qi coughed slightly and stood up slowly, holding on to the stone Buddha beside him.
Hong Xiao hurriedly came over in a few steps, intending to help him. Seeing that Jia Xi did not refuse, she blushed slightly, but she did not stop, but took the opportunity to support Jia Xi's arm.
Zhang Li was overjoyed when he heard that Jia Qi didn't refuse. In fact, he didn't realize how useful he was to Jia Qi right now. Even though he had a distinguished status, he was now a group of killers who tied their heads to their belts and killed people. , once they hid in the mountains, what else could the forces behind them do to them?
However, his target is not Jia Qi himself, but the big eagle at the entrance of the ruined temple. The fact that the white eagle can bring him a little pressure shows that it is not a simple thing. Coupled with its huge size, if It can take action and attract most of those two groups of people.
When they only have to deal with a small group of people, the pressure will be much less and the chance of escape will be great.
Although this is the truth, you can't say it like that. They are all old people, and Zhang Li naturally knows how to say it.
"This young man, Zhang Li, is an escort from Fuwei Escort Agency! This time we were traveling south from Zhili, Hebei Province. To be honest, a customer asked us to escort something to Jinling. We went around in circles for more than a month. Got here.
"This time, we may have caused trouble for you. If the people outside are trying to get our idea, I'm afraid they are all gangsters who lick blood with their swords and kill people without batting an eye. Now, even if we catch you without mercy, I'm afraid the other party won't go around. We have to pass, and in order to keep it secret, little brother, you may not be spared!"
"Right now, it seems to me that my brother is also injured. Young people go out to explore the world. Lao Zhang has also seen this kind of thing. Those people may not be coming towards us..."
At this point, Zhang Li's tone paused. If he was not coming towards them, he was coming towards Jia Qi. They would be the ones who would be affected by Chi Yu.
After all, Jia Qi looked like he was seriously injured. He must have been fighting with others before. It was very likely that those people were here to eliminate the root cause.
Jia Qi glanced at Zhang Li, and he could naturally hear the other person's words.
Who were those people coming towards in the first place?
He still knew it in his heart, but the people under Emperor Taikang had probably guessed his existence. Now, it was hard to say who he was coming for.
Zhang Zhang was glanced at by Jia Qi, and the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, his pupils shrank violently, his scalp was numb, and he subconsciously took a step back.
What kind of look is that? He has been in the world for many years and has seen many people of all kinds, including county magistrates sitting in court, prefects in charge of a state, soldiers stationed in various states, and even There are some noble people who live there to nourish themselves, and those people naturally exude nobility all over their bodies.
But there has never been anyone with a gaze like the young man in front of him. That gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
And it is different from the eyes of those noble people. It is not that arrogant, but a kind of domineering and self-centered hegemony. It is different from the majesty brought by rights, but an inner...
At this moment, Zhang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Maybe they shouldn't have messed with this young man, or even said they shouldn't have entered this ruined temple.
His eyes flickered twice, and he began to wonder, where was the young man in front of him injured, who was his opponent, and who was his true identity? ?
Almost instantly, these thoughts crossed his mind.
However, the light on Jia Qi's side was very weak. Hong Pin did not see Zhang Li's actions, nor did the people at Fuwei Escort on the opposite side. Only Jia Chu and Zhang Li knew about it.
"Your plan!"
Jia Qi frowned when he saw that the other party suddenly became silent.
Zhang Li sighed in his heart. When he said those words before, he originally wanted to take more initiative, but now he hesitated.
The forces behind the other party may be far beyond his imagination. If those people are held accountable, all the forces that appeared here today may be held accountable.
But now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, Zhang Zhang could only bite the bullet and speak out his thoughts.
Finally, Zhang Li added another sentence.
"Our Fuwei Escort Agency has an excellent reputation in the world, and we will not do things that are untrue to our word. You can rest assured, young master, that as long as we are alive, we will definitely protect your safety. The red pin is the disciple of our escort agency. My daughter, if the young master is worried, I can let the red pin stay with the young master, what do you think?"
Hong Xiao was stunned when she heard Zhang Li's words. Zhang Li had never said such words to her before.
She was just about to retort loudly. After all, she was disgusted with this method of taking herself as a hostage, and the hostage was still herself.
But then she looked at the young man next to her. She saw a stranger like jade, a man like no other in the world, and he was talking about Jia Qi. She had been in the world for many years, and she had met a lot of people, but she was like Jia Qi. Never seen it.
So she endured it again. To be honest, she didn't feel disgusted when she was around him.
Of course, if the other party is not an eye-catching man like Jia Qi, maybe the little princess of Fuwei Escort Agency will go crazy.
After Jia Qi heard Zhang Li's arrangement, he was quite surprised. He was so generous. Facing a stranger he didn't know, he actually put all his junior sisters on top.
Jia Qi may not have expected Zhang Li's previous inner activities. Of course, even if he knew about it, he might not be interested. However, the other party did intend to cooperate.
He has already checked the people outside. The men in black hats only have swords and crossbows on their bodies. Dabai can deal with them, but those people under Emperor Taikang's hands have a small tube coming out of each person's back, and there is a small tube inside. Several objects the size of glass balls were filled with cotton in the small compartments.
He guessed what it was—a thunderbolt.
This was the most fundamental reason why he didn't reject Zhang Li's suggestion at the beginning. Once the other party used this kind of thing, he would be too passive.
Finally, Jia Qi nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's suggestion. When Zhang Li saw Jia Qi nodding, he felt relieved. At this time, Jia Qi's side was their only way to survive.
Follow
Hou Zhangli glanced at Hongxiao, then turned around and slid back close to the side of the Buddhist altar. Then he waved to the escorts from Fuwei Escort Agency and made arrangements.
Outside the ruined temple, two groups of people confronting each other reached a deal at this time.
The leader of the group in dark green clothes was silent for a moment and said: "We want one person, a young man. We don't care about the others!"
The leader of the man in black hat frowned when he heard what the other party said. What did the other party mean? ?
Who knows if there are any young men in the temple? Most of the people in the Fuwei Escort Agency are men. If they just randomly pull out one and say he is the one they want, wouldn’t they be doing nothing? !
"Your Excellency, are you kidding us? There are probably many people here who can be called young masters!"
The man in black hat said in a gloomy tone.
When the man in dark green clothes opposite heard this, he was not angry at all. The person they were talking about was none other than Jia Qi. From the mysterious big eagle, they had already determined that Jia Qi was probably inside.
Although it wasn't clear why Jia Qi was here, they couldn't just sit idly by.
They had already received the news about Jia Qi's trip to Jiangnan. If not, they still couldn't conclude that the person in the temple was Jia Qi.
They knew the other party's methods. They wanted to prevent these people from disturbing Jia Xi. Firstly, it was for their own good. Secondly, they speculated that Jia Xi would appear here. Perhaps Jia Xi had other plans and could not destroy Jia Xi's Plan.
As for Jia Qi's injury, they were unaware of it. If they knew that Jia Qi was seriously injured at this time, they might have made another plan.
The leader of the group of people that Jia Qi killed outside the capital last time was the brother of the group in front of him. He remembered that in his heart.
As a shadow guard, he knows that revenge is not urgent. The official world is full of dust. High-rise buildings built this year may collapse next year. He has the patience to wait. At the moment, Jia Qi is in the limelight, even the emperor Everyone has to give Jia Qi face. If he looks for trouble at this time, he will hit an egg against a rock.
And this time, it was also the other party's little thought that was the reason why they did not execute the man in black in the bamboo hat in front of them on the spot, but let them in.
"You'll know who I'm talking about once you get in!!"
On the official road, a group of about 150 or 60 people walked towards the ruined temple. In the middle of their group, there was a young man cursing, saying something about a bullshit leader, an eggless person, a waste, etc. wait.
There were two carriages beside him, both covered with thick quilts. It was unknown what they were, but there were no torches nearby. There were only people following the carriages, which seemed a bit mysterious.
