"The husband of the eldest princess of Xinyang is Jiang Qianfan, the former Dingyuan Marquis. The prince Jiang Qianfan supported at that time was not the current majesty, but the then crown prince. If Jiang Qianfan hadn't fallen into the enemy's trap during the crusade against the Tatars, he would have died with 30,000 people. Jiang Jiajun died in Northern Xinjiang together, and it's hard to say who is sitting on the throne now." Tian Jia said something that could be regarded as treason in an understatement.
"But, before Brother Jiang was appointed as the Jinyi Guard for thousands of households, doesn't it mean that the Jinyi Guards are all people whom the emperor trusts and loves the most?"
"What is love? It's clearly surveillance. You can only rest assured if you put it under your nose. If love is true, will the emperor send Jiang Yunguang to every difficult case he encounters? Will he not care when Jiang Yunguang is attacked by a group of people? Ci, let the situation develop?"
"What you said makes sense." Ye Wuji drank a whole bottle of wine unknowingly, and Tianjia took out another bottle and handed it to her. At first, there was a trace of blush on her face, but later on The more he drank, the paler his face became and his eyes became brighter, with no trace of drunkenness at all.
Ye Wuji drank one bottle after another, drinking five bottles of wine in total. Tian Jia was shocked by her drinking capacity. When he drank the sixth pot, Ye Wuji had just finished a glass of wine when he suddenly held the wine glass and stared straight at Tianjia, his eyes unblinking. Tianjia felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "Ye Wuji, are you drunk?"
"I'm not drunk!" Ye Wuji said one word at a time, speaking sonorously and forcefully. As soon as she finished speaking, she fell down on the table, still holding the wine glass in her hand. Not long after, Tianjia heard her breathing become soft and long, and she actually fell asleep.
"Ye Wuji. Ye Wuji!" Tianjia called her several times and pushed her, but Ye Wuji showed no signs of waking up.
Tianjia stood up, took out a bundle of beef tendon ropes from under the bed, and tied Ye Wuji tightly.
"Don't blame me. I'm not here to kill you, but I'm here to steal you." Tianjia murmured, "This order is worth three thousand taels of gold. Even if I am held accountable by Master Ye afterwards, I I admit it too!”
Tian Jia put Ye Wuji into a sack, carried her up to the city wall, and left the city in the dead of night. Tianjia's horse was tied to a willow tree by the moat, and it was still waiting there quietly for its owner to arrive. Tianjia wanted to take Ye Wuji to the capital overnight and hand him over to his employer before Wei Lan and Yao Pei discovered it.
However, things didn't go as planned. Tianjia rode his horse and ran into Yao Pei and Wei Lan before they had gone half a mile. Tianjia lowered his head and led the horse past Wei Lan. When he saw that he could escape smoothly, Yao Pei suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
As soon as Yao Pei opened his mouth, the guards around him all stared at Tianjia. Each of them put their hands on the handle of the knife, ready to take someone immediately at Yao Pei's order.
"Sir." Tian Jia hunched over his shoulders and coughed twice, his voice becoming weak and pale, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Who are you?" Yao Pei asked, "Why are you wandering outside the city wall in the middle of the night? Tell me, are you with the Guhui Cult demons?"
"What Guhui Sect?" Tianjia pressed down the bamboo hat on his head, "Sir, I came from out of town. I was planning to enter the city today. Unexpectedly, I miscalculated the time and arrived. It’s already too late.”
"Where is your road guide?" Yao Pei asked, "Take out the road guide and let me take a look. You can follow us into the city."
"Thank you so much!" Tianjia bent down and put his hand into his arms, but what he took out was not a road guide, but a tube of rainstorm pear blossom needles.
"Be careful!" Wei Lan hugged Yao Pei from behind, flipping and moving to avoid the hundreds of poison-quenching thin needles that shot out.
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle was the first hidden weapon. Even if Wei Lan reacted quickly enough, there were still more than a dozen fine needles aimed at Yao Pei's chest. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Wei Lan put his arm across Yao Pei's body, waved his sleeve, and all the fine needles were drawn into his sleeve. This "world in one's sleeves" martial arts is not a matter of learning from Xie Hanyi, but the origin of the Wei family's learning.
Tianjia was not eager to fight, he shot out the rainstorm pear blossom needle and then took advantage of the chaos to mount his horse and escape. Yao Pei and Wei Lan were among a group of more than ten people. Except for the two of them, everyone else was pricked by pear needles in the heavy rain, and even the horses were not spared.
Qu Jinfeng and the captured poisoner were both hit by poisonous needles. Yao Pei said to Wei Lan, "You detoxify them and I'll chase them!"
Without the horse, he could only rely on light kung fu to catch up. Yao Pei's kung fu was not outstanding among Xie Hanyi's disciples. In fact, Wei Lan was better than him in kung fu, and he was not good at light kung fu either. Stone City was originally located in the mountains. It didn't take long for Tianjia to abandon his horse and walk. As soon as he burrowed into the forest, Yao Pei could no longer find him.
As the prefect of a state, Yao Pei could not chase a thief desperately. After he chased him for a while, Tianjia was nowhere to be found, so Yao Pei had to turn back.
After returning to Stone City, even though he caught the poisoner and interrogated the person behind the scenes, there was no joy on Yao Pei's face. If he knew that it was Ye Wuji who was kidnapped by Tianjia, he would definitely pursue him even if he didn't need the position of magistrate. This is great, the master entrusted the junior sister to them, but they had someone kidnapped her right before their eyes. How are they going to explain to their master now
