After the ghost-faced man jumped downstairs, he saw that his men on the first floor were completely suppressed and beaten by the opponent, so he immediately sent out a message to retreat.
If it were the entire Jingsha Pavilion, just these secret guards under Chu Jihan would definitely not be enough, so Chu Jihan thought of asking the army to cooperate to contain the Jingshao Pavilion killer.
However, this operation of Jingsha Pavilion obviously did not go out in full force, but this part was almost as strong as theirs.
If the two sides continued to fight, it would be a dead end, so the ghost-faced man immediately ordered a retreat after confirming that he could not get the box back. He did not want all his men to die here.
This is Da Qi's territory, and the other party can send people continuously, but they, Jingsha Pavilion, are going deep alone, and there is no way to replenish fresh blood, so even exchanging one life for another is not cost-effective for them.
Chu Jihan breathed a sigh of relief at the Ghost-Faced Man's order. He didn't want to change things like this. After all, these were Shen Zhao's men. If a trip to Yangzhou ended up here, he wouldn't be able to ask Shen Zhao for help. Account.
Even if it is his own men, he will not change their lives like this. After all, they have feelings. Even if the secret guards are not afraid of death, there is no reason to die.
As long as the emperor did not directly order a task that must be completed regardless of life or death, no one would want to try to die if they could survive at other times.
"Wow, it looks so strange." Su Ningxin opened the box and exclaimed as she looked at the strange-shaped ornaments inside.
Chu Jihan also went over to take a look. He could only say that it was slightly similar to the picture the imperial envoy showed them, and the specific appearance was even stranger than the picture.
It’s not that this is fake, but that the imperial envoy’s painting was based on the descriptions of people in the world who had seen it. After all, those people in the world couldn’t draw, so it’s normal for there to be differences between the actual thing and the painting.
Su Ning didn't even think about it. She was originally accustomed to realistic sketches, but after time travel, she began to accept the destruction of the freehand brushwork of ancient paintings. She thought that the paintings were almost the same. What did she pursue to be exactly the same
Su Ningxin took out the ornament and looked around, but she didn't see anything special about it. The only special thing was that it was extremely ugly.
Chu Jihan still had follow-up matters to deal with, so he naturally would not study this ornament with Su Ningxin. After explaining a few words to Su Ningxin, he went downstairs to see the situation of the secret guards.
By the time Su Ningxin lost interest in packing up the ornaments and went downstairs, the downstairs had almost been cleaned up. All the injured had been sent for treatment. The secret guards had disappeared. The people cleaning up the scene now were all from the martial arts school. Musha.
When Chu Jihan heard the voice upstairs, he looked back at Su Ningxin and said with a smile, "I'm lucky, two killers from Jingsha Pavilion were left behind. One was seriously injured and was sent for treatment, and the other has been sent to prison. I guess I will be interrogated with the imperial envoy soon, do you want you to get up?"
"Of course, I am very curious about Jingsha Pavilion. If I have the opportunity to see what is hidden behind this sect, I will not miss it." Su Ningxin raised her head and said.
Then she suddenly remembered that she was standing upstairs and Chu Jihan was standing downstairs. This angle was said to look ugly, and she immediately lowered her head.
Thinking of the gym leader whose arm was cut off, Su Ningxin asked, "Why would the martial arts leader put this in the martial arts gym?" Su Ningxin shook the box in her hand as she spoke.
When she said this, everyone in the martial arts hall looked at Su Ningxin, their eyes falling on the box, but they immediately turned back to do their own things, pretending not to see anything.
They knew that it was something from the martial arts school and might be very valuable, but they didn't have the guts to let Su Ningxin put it down.
Firstly, it was because Su Ningxin and his team were too powerful and they did not dare to offend him. Secondly, because the owner of the East-West Museum had broken an arm and several apprentices were disabled. They did not know if they insisted on keeping this person. In the martial arts hall, would they all die quietly on a dark and windy night
Chu Jihan ignored the people around him, looked at Su Ningxin and explained, "The martial arts leader and the master of this martial arts school are brothers. Before the martial arts leader was exterminated, he secretly kept this in the martial arts gym. As for why the martial arts leader did this, we can only find out by interrogating the two killers."
"We just want to ask together." Su Ningxin said as she walked down the stairs.
After dealing with the matter here, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan went back to have dinner with the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy did not hold back and let the officers and soldiers seal the city gate and did not let the killer escape.
However, those killers did not seem to have a particularly strong will to escape Yangzhou. Only a few people wanted to escape from Yangzhou.
After eating, the three of them went to the cell where the killer was imprisoned. Killers in the world are very perseverant and usually don't reveal any information. However, the Xiyan secret guards are not vegetarians either. During the meal, they let He spoke.
The three of them went to the cell to ask him for some information, but there was not much useful information, because this killer was just the most common low-level killer in Jingsha Pavilion, otherwise he would not have been caught by the secret guards so easily. For the pavilion master and the protector He had no idea about that level of contact.
From the killer's description, several people knew why Jingsha Pavilion wanted to exterminate the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Jingsha Pavilion has been tracing the whereabouts of Fang Jian Silk since three months ago. Fang Jian Silk is the name of that strange ornament, which is a token symbolizing the king of Southern Xinjiang. It was not until a month ago that Jing Sala Pavilion discovered that it was under the leadership of the Wulin Alliance. in hands.
At the beginning, Jingsha Pavilion did not want to go to war, but wanted to find the leader of the martial arts alliance to spend a lot of money to buy Xiangjian silk. However, after the leader of the martial arts alliance realized that this was very important, he sat down and raised the price. He no longer wanted money, but wanted to join the court. official.
It happened that the master of Jingshao Pavilion knew an important secret of the imperial court, so he exchanged this secret for Fang Jian Silk.
The killer didn't know what the secret was. He only knew that the secret was very important. It involved a wealthy family in the court, and he could ask that wealthy family to help arrange an official position.
Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan both knew that the secret should be the relationship between Master Ji and the Queen Mother, but they didn't have any strange expressions and no one could tell anything was wrong.
Although this secret was important, Fang Jiansi was more important to Nanjiang, so the Pavilion Master exchanged it without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, the martial arts leader felt that the Jingshao Pavilion was easy to control, so he forged a Fang Jian silk to the pavilion leader. The pavilion leader was also a famous figure in the world. How could he swallow his anger after being teased like this, so he cooperated with Master Ling Ji to kill him. The family of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
