The few people closest to Ye Jiu were unable to dodge, and their bodies were contaminated by the gunpowder in the ball, and they were immediately burned into flames. The most miserable one among them was Ye Jiu. His whole body was distorted by the fire, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, "Master, I am loyal to you!"
This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his voice became hoarse and unpleasant. The next moment, he was speechless and fell straight to the ground.
This gunpowder is mixed with poison, and it is what the people in Tianmen use to kill their enemies when they reach the end of the road. And it also contains Tianmen's special contact pattern. Once the signal is sent, it means everyone is killed.
The person who had been protecting Shen Jingci was also affected. After a period of twitching, he could no longer move.
Seeing that four or five of these elites died in an instant, Shen Jingci felt a great pain in her heart. But this feeling of physical pain was not as shocking as the scene in front of him. Seeing so many people burned to death in front of him, those among them wanted to move out of the instinct of survival, and stretched out a pair of hands with fire, but And died unwillingly.
This scene made Shen Jingci's face turn pale with fright, but she couldn't even move.
There was someone in the room who was more skilled in martial arts and managed to avoid the poison, and immediately took Shen Jingci out who was trembling with fear.
After breathing the fresh air in the night sky, Shen Jingci's complexion became a little better, and she looked at the room with hatred, "Who are they, and why are they like this..."
Shen Jingci didn't know what words to use to describe these people. How could there be such a fool in this world who could risk his own life!
The old man from before was also a little confused at this moment. When he looked at Shen Jingci, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Miss, although I have been in seclusion for a long time, I have seen that kind of thing just now. This pill is called Liuhuo. , is a unique thing among Tianmen. But this Tianmen has always been mysterious, how did you become enemies with them? "
Hearing this, Shen Jingci looked a little worried. Tianmen, why is it Tianmen again? !
The previous martial arts competition was Tianmen, and it was Tianmen who came to track her today!
When she thought of this, Shen Jingci suddenly had an epiphany, stamped her feet and said, "It turns out to be him!"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she followed Xiao Junhan into the palace. At that time, she went to pay a special visit to Doctor Wen in the palace. The miracle doctor kept talking for a long time, confusing her, and then gave her a bottle of pills, saying that they could cure the poison on her body, but the medicine was a bit unpalatable.
After Shen Jingci took it back, in order to cure her illness, even though the medicine smelled terrible, she had to hold her nose and drink it. Who knew that after a few days, I had almost finished taking the medicine, but the pain was still getting worse.
Later, Shen Jingci became suspicious and asked a doctor to check the ingredients of the medicine for her. But the result she didn't want to know made Shen Jingci tremble with anger and smashed the bottle on the spot.
It turned out that the medicine in the bottle was nothing else at all, but a dry pill mixed with the feces of several animals! The so-called Divine Doctor Wen didn't even bother to pretend, but any doctor could see the ingredients inside!
And what happened today made Shen Jingci understand even more. Divine Doctor Wen is simply the Tianmen Sect Master Wen Ruyu in disguise! I'm afraid that the first time I doubted him, he was already being set up by the other party!
Seeing the ugly look on Shen Jingci's face, the old man hesitated and said, "Miss, the people of Tianmen always seek revenge. We killed six of them today, and I'm afraid there will be a big disaster in the future."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just a Tianmen? Is it possible that I can defeat the court?" She made up her mind, killing gods when gods block her, and killing ghosts when ghosts block her!
Seeing her insistence on going her own way, the old man sighed secretly and said, "Yes. Miss, the wind is getting strong. Let's go back. I will take you to see our other brothers."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci's face turned dark again and said, "Okay."
Although Shen Jingci feels sorry for the people who lost their lives tonight, but after all, they are already dead, so naturally the living are more important. After all, something that has no use value, no matter how powerful it once was, is now just a pile of waste.
If the old man knew what Shen Jingci was really thinking, he would have been so angry that one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
This night was destined not to be peaceful, and Xie Ruzhuo, who was far away in the hunting ground, spent an unbearable time in a half-dream and half-awake state.
When she woke up early in the morning, Xie Ruzhuo's head felt a little swollen. She had a dream all night last night. In the dream, she couldn't distinguish reality from her past life. The past events made her unable to avoid and escape.
Suddenly Hong Rui walked in from the outside, with a solemn look on her face and said, "Miss, something happened."
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo's face suddenly changed. He stopped combing his hair and asked, "But what's the news about Tianmen?"
Hong Rui nodded and said, "The Tianmen branch sent an urgent report overnight, and the six Yejiu people are loyal."
There is a signal bomb hidden in the flowing fire that Yejiu lit last night, which can fly into the air instantly, and the mark formed can only be understood by people in Tianmen. After the Tianmen sub-rudder got Xin'er, he immediately came to deliver the letter to Xie Ruzhuo.
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo slammed the ivory comb in her hand on the table, and her crisp voice mixed with her gritted teeth, "What a Shen Jingci, I really underestimated her!"
It was because I was too careless. I thought that the people I sent out this time were elites who could equal one to ten, so I was relieved. But he still underestimated Shen Jingci's cunningness! Ye Jiu and the others are all assassins. Although they are good at hiding and evading, when it comes to their underhanded tactics, they are still no match for Shen Jingci.
Xie Ruzhuo hated herself so much when she thought of this. She straightened up, walked back and forth in the room, stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Hongrui, go and deliver a message for me, just say -"
But before she could say anything, she saw Xiao Junxi hurried in with a solemn look on her face.
Xiao Junxi now knew about the relationship between Hongrui and Laogui, so she only glanced at her, but did not shy away from her. She directly said to Xie Ruzhuo, "There is news in the capital, and Xiao Junyi can't help it anymore."
With just one sentence, Xie Ruzhuo swallowed back what he wanted to say and said in shock, "He made a move so quickly?"
Xiao Junxi nodded and said, "It's not clear right now, but my secret guard sent an urgent letter, saying that on the fifth day of our departure, Xiao Junyi ordered someone to change the people in the capital's defense."
To change the city defense, we need to start from the inside out.
Xie Ruzhuo also thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but put her forehead on her head and sighed, "What a troubled time." After saying that, she didn't wait for Xiao Junxi to ask, and said with some sadness and anger, "Ye Jiu and the others were also killed by Shen Jingci. No one will survive!"
Before leaving, Ye Jiu had a bright and sunny face, but who would have thought that the people she sent out would die in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Junxi was obviously much calmer than Xie Ruzhuo. He just frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's okay for people in the capital to send messages, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out. It's just that the people at the helm can't move. What if Xiao Jun Yi wants to besiege the city, and the person who shares the helm can still be used."
Now that Xiao Junyi dared to change the city defense of the capital, he might not have thought of coming to surround the hunting ground and catch them all in one fell swoop!
Xie Ruzhuo said with some dejection, "I know, so the Tianmen people can't be used at the moment. Ye Jiu and the others can only take revenge when the time is right!" At this point, she said with a gloomy face, "Shen Jingci, I won’t let her go!”
The hatred between them has involved too many people, and now it has become a never-ending situation.
Xiao Junxi stood beside her silently, holding her cold hand. Although she said nothing, she also gave her strength invisibly.
Xie Ruzhuo felt a little tired, so he leaned on Xiao Junxi's shoulder and murmured in a low voice, "Husband, am I useless?"
When she was vulnerable, she loved to call Xiao Junxi husband. The husband is the wife's guide, and the husband is the heaven. As long as her heaven is there, she has nothing to fear.
Xiao Junxi connected with her and said two words softly, "I'm here."
Hong Rui had already withdrawn with a wink, leaving only two people in the room. Although the room was quiet, it gradually became softer.
After breakfast, it was time for the first day of hunting.
Emperor Jing first said some encouraging words as usual, and then said at the end, "Today's rules are still the same, and whoever can come out on top will be rewarded heavily!" After saying that, he looked at Xie Ruzhuo teasingly and said, "If you like it, My good sons, there is no need to keep my promise, you can make it today!"
As soon as he said this, someone immediately laughed kindly. Xie Ruzhuo's face turned red, and the hand in his sleeve secretly pinched Xiao Junxi.
In last year's hunt, wasn't it Xie Ruzhuo who took the lead and then used Emperor Jing's promise to ask for her marriage to Xiao Junxi
This matter was already somewhat romantic, but when it came out of Emperor Jing's mouth, it became a legend.
Xiao Junxi looked at his little wife with a smile. It was rare to see such a shy expression on her, but it made him fall in love so much.
When Emperor Jing waved the flag in his hand, the horses under the ministers and young men rushed out like arrows from the string.
Suddenly, the sun was covered with smoke and shouts.
Emperor Jing looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes. He suddenly became proud, waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm here to compete with you too!"
Concubine Ye Guifei said with a worried smile, "Your Majesty, please be careful."
Emperor Jing laughed loudly, got on his horse, and said with great pride, "When I was young, I was on the battlefield. What kind of battles have I never seen? Although I am old now, I am not unable to mount a horse or lift a bow! My beloved, please wait. , let me hunt you a piece of fox skin and make a big army of you!"
Hearing this, Concubine Ye smiled shyly and said softly, "I am waiting for you, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Emperor Jing laughed again and rode away.
But as soon as Emperor Jing left, the smile in Concubine Ye's eyes turned into worry. Xiao Junxi knew what she was thinking, so she walked forward holding Xie Ruzhuo's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will follow your father."
Concubine Ye nodded and said, "Good boy, you should be careful."
It wasn't until Xiao Junxi followed that Xie Ruzhuo helped Concubine Ye enter the tent and sit down. Palace attendants had already brought fruits, vegetables and other items and were waiting on them.
Concubine Ye patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "You haven't seen your parents for a while, right? Stop staying with me here and go see them."
Xie Ruzhuo chuckled and said, "It's okay, my wife will stay with you here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Xinning looking in with a furtive look on her face. When she saw Xie Ruzhuo, she walked in hurriedly and said, "Sister-in-law of the emperor—"
But before she could finish her words, she saw Concubine Ye looking at her with confusion.
Xiao Xinning immediately stopped talking and said with a smile, "Greetings to my mother and concubine."
