Those present are all top secret guards, so don't be too familiar with things like collecting information.
"Let me just say, no matter how powerful the people who guard Master Ji are, they still need to eat. If we find their food source, we will definitely get some information."
Su Ningxin said with some pride. The moon was already high in the sky, and Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan were walking side by side on the way back to Luojiao Courtyard.
Chu Jihan looked at Su Ningxin's look and smiled, and said cooperatively, "Madam is indeed amazing."
Chu Jihan, who grew up among the secret guards, rarely smiled sincerely like this without any grudges. It was as if all the smiles in his life were reserved for Su Ningxin, but Chu Jihan felt very special when she was next to him. Satisfied.
Moreover, Chu Jihan also found that he had fewer and fewer opportunities to listen to Su Ningxin's inner thoughts now, because Su Ningxin no longer kept everything in her heart like when they first met.
Just like now, Su Ningxin was praising herself proudly in her heart, but in front of Chu Jihan, she also said, "Come and praise me."
He felt as if he was getting closer to Su Ningxin, not in terms of distance or status, but in terms of distance between hearts.
Chu Jihan was looking at Su Ningxin with soft and satisfied eyes, but he saw that Su Ningxin's eyes gradually became serious, and finally stopped.
"What's going on?" Su Ningxin said with a frown.
After hearing Su Ningxin's words, Chu Jihan also looked away from her and looked around because he smelled a faint smell of blood. Such a faint smell might be easily ignored by ordinary people. , but for these secret guards who lick blood from the knife edge, they are indeed very sensitive.
Chu Jihan looked at the ground and reminded, "The blood stains on the ground have been cleared."
Su Ningxin looked at the ground as she was told, then immediately raised her head and looked at Chu Jihan. The two people immediately understood each other's meaning.
Obviously, there are only two possibilities for such carefully cleaned blood stains to appear in their remote alley that is difficult to be discovered.
One is that those people came to the door and were killed by Gu Mingxi or Mu Zhiyun who came back early, and then the blood stains were cleaned up to avoid leaking their whereabouts. If this is the case, it means that their residence has been exposed, and they must have been killed. Changed place.
Another possibility is the worst news. These bloodstains belong to their side, and the bloodstains were cleaned up by those people who were lying in ambush in the yard waiting to invite you to the urn.
Regarding this kind of thing, Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin would definitely not take any chances. They were immediately on full alert, and then did not go through the main entrance, but went around to another house next door to the yard.
At this time, everyone in that family had gone to bed. They walked quietly through their yard, and then quietly poked their heads out of the wall to check the situation in the yard.
After all, if there is an ambush, attention will definitely be on the other side of the gate. Such behavior cannot completely avoid detection, but at least the risk can be reduced a little.
Even if they can only reduce the risk a little, Su Ningxin and the others will definitely do it because of their cautious character, because when they really encounter danger, maybe this insignificant gap can save their lives.
Chu Jihan used his Qinggong skills and almost silently grabbed the wall with his hands and hung himself on the wall. Then he slowly poked his head out and looked into the yard.
"???"
As soon as Chu Jihan stuck his head out, his eyes met with Chu Luoye who was looking at him from the wall.
Chu Luoye sat on the stone bench with her legs crossed and said, "I guessed that you would come back from here, so I waited for you here. Otherwise, I would let you sneak into the yard and shoot two poisonous needles at the people in the house. That’s a big joke.”
Chu Jihan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chu Luoye, which at least proved that the worst case did not happen.
But think about it, this can be said to be the strongest power of the secret guard in the hands of the emperor. If it is so easy to be killed, the emperor has to consider the possibility of being assassinated to death for no apparent reason.
Chu Jihan used his arms to fly past Gao Qiang and landed in front of Chu Luoye. Seeing this, Su Ningxin naturally followed.
"What happened?" Chu Jihan looked at Chu Luoye and asked.
It can be seen from Chu Luoye's attitude that the yard is still safe, but something must have happened.
"You will know after you go in and take a look." Chu Luoye pointed at the main room with his chin and said,
Su Ningxin frowned. After entering the yard, she smelled a stronger smell of blood, and she didn't seem to hide it.
Chu Luoye led them into the house. Su Ningxin saw Shen Zhao lying on the bed at a glance. Gu Mingxi was treating his wounds, and Mu Zhiyun was helping beside him.
After Chu Luoye's explanation, they learned that it was Mu Zhiyun and Shen Zhao who discovered that the killers under surveillance were changing shifts during their investigation, and then they wanted to secretly follow them to find out who they were.
They thought they were doing it silently, but in fact they had been discovered by the killers, who deliberately pretended to be unaware in order to lure them into taking the bait.
By the time Shen Zhao and Mu Zhiyun realized something was wrong, they were already surrounded. Fortunately, both of them were not weak in martial arts and came back alive. However, Shen Zhao's injury was a bit serious, and the opponent's weapon was quenched with poison.
However, they were able to gain something by risking their lives this time. They found out that those who monitored Master Ji seemed to be killers in the world, and their martial arts were top-notch. They might be able to deal with them on the killer list rumored in the world. identity of.
"The two of them are busy treating injuries, and you are just doing nothing?" Chu Jihan looked at Chu Luoye and asked critically.
He is not worried about Shen Zhao's condition now. He is still very confident in Gu Mingxi's medical skills. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most powerful doctor in the capital. With her here, he doesn't have to worry.
If Gu Mingxi couldn't be cured, then he wouldn't have to worry. Shen Zhao was dead and could prepare his funeral arrangements.
Chu Luoye shrugged, "My medical skills are not as good as theirs. I just made trouble in the past. Look at how cooperative they are now."
"Look at the current environment with a strong smell of blood, you might as well boil some hot water." Chu Jihan said.
"You think you're delivering a baby, and you have to boil hot water." Chu Luoye rolled his eyes fiercely.
Mu Zhiyun, who had been busy, breathed a long sigh of relief, "The bleeding finally stopped."
This is when Gu Mingxi said, "Don't be too happy. There is no cure for the poison yet. If the poison cannot be detoxified, he may not survive tomorrow morning."
Su Ning became anxious after hearing Gu Mingxi's words, "What kind of poison is it? Do you have a way to undo it?"
