"This person, this person..."
Being stared at by Fengtiansi's knife-wielding man, the usually fearless head catcher could not help but stutter now.
Seeing that the other party couldn't explain the reason, Ji Xiaowan took the initiative to speak: "This person's name is Xie Xinmin. He was originally the apprentice of Zhou Buyue, the Tongtian stick. Later, he was wanted for committing murder and stealing goods because he wanted to make money."
Hearing this, Jiang Wuji raised his eyebrows, never expecting that this guy was really related to Zhou Buyue.
But as apprentices, this guy is completely incomparable to Yang Tai. As expected, the thing that can affect one's life is nature.
Ji Xiaowan squatted down and took a closer look at the sword wound on the corpse's chest.
When I was young, all the trivial matters were over.
The official was driven outside the restaurant by Jiang Wuji and started guarding and scolding him, while he took the female thief back to the guest room.
"Hiss~"
"You know it hurts now? Why did you go earlier?"
The female thief who was giving Jiang Wuji a massage was not angry, but her heart tightened again after seeing the bruises on Jiang Wuji's back.
Jiang Wuji: "I can't help it. People come to my door. Is it a blessing or a curse? I can't avoid it."
Ji Xiaowan paused with her hands, then continued to knead the Baihua ointment.
"Zizzizi..."
"Do you know why that guy killed you?"
"Know."
"you know?"
Jiang Wuji sighed softly and said, "I will escort the Queen Mother to Jiangzhou. The Queen Mother wants to watch a shadow puppet show, so I will come over in advance to take care of it."
"I never thought that your bestie would kill the Queen Mother, oh, that mysterious heroine..."
"Bah! What kind of heroine? Her name is Murong Wanfeng."
"Oh...how did you end up hooking up with someone from the Red Lotus Sect?"
"What kind of hookup! I have been playing with her since I was a child. Huh? Do you even know about this? But she is the wife of the leader of the Red Lotus Sect."
The leader’s wife? wife? Hiss...Jiang Wuji was energized. He never expected that Mysterious Woman would have such a powerful background.
"Stop talking about my business, talk about yours. If they want to kill the Queen Mother, just let them kill her. Why do you care so much?"
"How can the Queen Mother kill just as she says..."
Jiang Wuji turned over on his own and asked the female thief to help him press the front, and then briefly talked about what happened between him and Murong Wanfeng.
"Xie Xinmin pretended to be Yang Tai and invited a fight. It should be Chen Shengshi's plan."
"If I guessed correctly, they were afraid of alerting the enemy and deliberately used Zhou Buyue as an excuse. In this way, whether the assassination attempt tonight is successful or not, it is my personal grudge and has nothing to do with the Queen Mother."
"It's a pity that he died, otherwise he would have asked for something."
While rubbing it, Ji Xiaowan glanced at the villain warily: "Just now I pierced his heart with my sword, but he was still able to fight back before death. It's probably because of the venom of snakes and scorpions."
"Snake and scorpion poison?" Jiang Wuji frowned, and some information about snake and scorpion poison popped into his mind.
"Is that the one who executed the Princess of the East China Sea on the spot and made the Overlord take the bow, Guo Wu?"
"???" Ji Xiaowan showed a disgusted expression: "What kind of on-the-spot execution... Well, after all, this is the person."
Ji Xiaowan briefly recounted the news she had received from Murong Wanfeng, and Jiang Wuji couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that King Dongding is really rebellious. Even the thieves chased by Donghai have become his disciples. I don't know how many eagle dogs he has raised."
From ancient times to the present, rebellion is not a temporary initiative. With foresight and foresight, one must raise a tiger and a dragon.
I don’t know if Fat Tou Feng and Fat Tou Yu knew about this... Jiang Wuji sighed inwardly, and even came up with the idea of returning to Beijing directly to make a report.
Although Fengtiansi built a "green channel" at the post station, the rebellion was a big deal and he couldn't rest assured if he didn't do it himself.
"Right now, we still have to protect the Queen Mother first..."
"The Queen Mother?"
Hearing Jiang Wuji's muttering, Ji Xiaowan suddenly became unhappy and grasped it with her little hands to exert force.
"No, no, no, no! Spare your life, Heroine! As a knife wielder, it is my duty to protect the Queen Mother!"
Seeing Ji Xiaowan in a broken posture, Jiang Wuji quickly begged for mercy.
"Hmph." Ji Xiaowan puffed out her cheeks, pinched her lifeline and threatened: "As a eunuch, you can't protect the Queen Mother? I don't know about your colorful intestines?"
"???"
Jiang Wuji: "Don't talk nonsense, that is the Queen Mother."
Ji Xiaowan: "But she is not very old, and she has been single in the palace for a long time, so she may not know... Haha."
You know too much... Jiang Wuji lay there for a long time, thinking about adjusting his posture, but accidentally moved up and down.
"?!"
Ji Xiaowan retracted her little hand like an electric shock, her peach blossom eyes widened to their maximum size.
"What are you doing?!"
"I...well, it was unexpected. Let's not talk about it..."
It's quite comfortable... Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose and changed the subject: "Although Xie Xinmin failed to succeed tonight, the people behind the scenes may not be willing to give up. Just now I saw that among the people in the yamen, there was only a second-rate person, and the rest were all third-rate. Enter the stream, just in case..."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Perhaps because she felt that she could only travel through the clouds, Ji Xiaowan added after a pause: "Murong Wanfeng is also nearby. If they send someone over again, she will help."
"Madam of the leader?"
"Yes, hey, don't think too bad of the Red Lotus Sect. Many things are caused by black water, and they have also suffered countless disasters."
Hearing this, although Jiang Wuji was surprised, he could figure it out after thinking about it carefully.
Murong Wanfeng, as the leader's wife, should deal with the rebels against her, but the Red Lotus Sect did not want to see the lives of people in ruins.
In other words, the Red Lotus Sect did not want King Dongding and his group to succeed in their rebellion.
So even if we break up, it doesn’t matter...
After the soft wind palm ended, Jiang Wuji sat up, Ji Xiaowan bent down to clean up, and the full moon swayed in the mountains and rivers.
"Wan'er."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Aren't you in a hurry to return to Jiangzhou? Why..."
After packing her things, Ji Xiaowan pushed the black hair on her forehead behind her ears and gave a rough summary of what happened along the way.
Just as they were talking, the two sat down together one behind the other.
The bright moonlight shines through the window, covering most of the guest room, and the night wind lifts the curtains, fluttering like water.
"Uh! You! You..."
Jiang Wuji hugged her and said warmly, "I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much that I just want to give you a hug."
Ji Xiaowan originally wanted to struggle, but after leaving the capital, why didn't she?
The shadow of the little thief flashed through his mind frequently, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, and he couldn't control it at all.
"Well, then let's give it a hug..."
"Um."
The unique fragrance wrapped around the tip of their noses, and paired with the moonlight like silver gauze, the two of them couldn't help but feel excited.
"Wan'er, where will you go after arriving in Jiangzhou?"
"It should be Xiaoxiang Tower."
"Then when I send the Queen Mother to Jiangzhou, I will go to Xiaoxiang Tower to find you."
"You are busy with your business, I won't run away..."
"I've never been to Jiangzhou, why don't you show me around?"
"Of course, you, um...you, your hands..."
"Don't be afraid, I'll just leave it alone and don't move it."
"Um...you, don't twist..."
