Fu Zixian subconsciously took half a step forward, hiding Wen Yantong behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."
Two men looked Fu Zixian up and down, and one of them asked, "Are you from the Fu family?"
Fu Zixian's face was full of solemnity, frost was drawn between his brows, he changed from the previous shy and kind, and suddenly became sharp.
Another said, "It's better to take them back."
"No, we came out this time to rob the Fifth Prince." Apparently, the two had a disagreement.
"You are crazy! The fifth prince is now with Chi Jingxi and a few guards with strong martial arts skills. If you don't want to die, just go!"
"If the fifth prince is not taken away, we may be severely punished for this unauthorized action."
"The son of the Fu family is the same!"
The two actually quarreled in front of them, Wen Yantong looked at them silently, secretly hoping that the one who wanted to capture the Fifth Prince would win the quarrel.
It's a pity that the person who wanted to arrest Cheng Xin was quickly persuaded and planned to take Fu Zixian back.
When the two came forward together, Fu Zixian twitched his sleeves, and the short blade in his hand suddenly slashed the cold broken shadow in the air, and quickly fought with the two of them. Wen Yantong hurriedly backed away, fearing that he would be hurt.
In a situation like this, it was natural to find a way to notify Chi Jingxi and the others who were still up there. She secretly wondered whether her voice could pass through, and whether she would survive before Chi Jingxi and the others came down.
The two masked people were obviously not weak in skills, but they didn't expect that Fu Zixian, who seemed weak in writing, could move his hands very neatly. When he took it lightly at first, the three of them fell into a stalemate.
But Wen Yantong didn't want Fu Zixian to continue fighting with them, not to mention that the flanking attack of the two men made it difficult for Fu Zixian to cope, and there were still archers hidden in the distance. The two obviously wanted to capture Fu Zixian alive, and they didn't hurt him at first, but if such a stalemate angered the two of them, it's not sure whether they would hurt Fu Zixian or not.
Fortunately, one of them felt that the situation was not good if he continued to fight, so he stopped and said harshly to Fu Zi, "If you are resisting with a knife, I will ask the archers in the distance to shoot arrows and kill your friend!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Wen Yantong.
Wen Yantong immediately raised his hands again and offered to Fu Zi, "Brother, save my life!"
Fu Zixian took a look at her, panting slightly, his mind turned rapidly in an instant, he quickly made a calculation, raised his hand and threw the dagger on the ground.
Wen Yantong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had already guessed the identities of these people. Combining with Jiang Ling who appeared before and their fear of Chi Jingxi, it is not difficult to guess that these may be the Jiang family's private soldiers left behind, or in other words, a group of people specially trained by the Jiang family.
He is an accomplice to the group hidden under the ground of Nian'an Temple.
They knew that Chi Jingxi had killed many people underground at that time, so they were very afraid of Chi Jingxi's kung fu. In addition, the two of them ran out secretly without telling the organization. The purpose was not to kill people, but to hijack one and go back.
Their initial target was Cheng Xin, but they were spotted by Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian by mistake, so they changed their minds and planned to bring Fu Zixian back.
After Fu Zixian lost the knife, his hands were tied up by the ropes taken out by the two people. Wen Yantong was also strung on one of the ropes. The two were pulled away from the mountain like this, and went to another uncultivated place. It took a long time to walk on the small mountain road with potholes.
Wen Yantong was a little tired from walking, and only halfway through the walk, he slowly tried to talk to the two masked figures, "Brothers, don't you find any loopholes in your plan?"
The two ignored it, as if they didn't hear Wen Yantong's voice at all.
Wen Yantong turned his head and glanced at Fu Zixian, seeing that he also looked puzzled, so he said, "You guys came out this time to capture the fifth prince back, but just now you are very afraid of the young master and the hidden guards around them, so take Didn't you think that if you want to catch the fifth prince, you have to face those hidden guards?"
Wen Yantong's words made the two of them look at each other, but they still ignored it.
She paused for a while, and then she was a little bit unwilling, "Could it be..."
"Shut up." Someone finally couldn't help it, and said in a vicious voice, "We have our own plan, so you don't need to talk too much."
Wen Yantong immediately smiled flatteringly, "Yes, yes, of course the two big brothers have their own ideas, but I am too stupid and too short-sighted."
Seeing her like this, both of them relaxed their vigilance somewhat, and asked, "Who are you?"
It was an ordinary question, but Wen Yantong acted as if he was deliberately flattering him, and quickly replied earnestly, "I am a student of Songhai Academy, do you two elder brothers know about Songhai Academy? We have many famous songs in Chaoge His descendants are all studying in it, like the fifth and seventh princes, the young prince, the general Mu’s family, and the Jiang family’s are all among them…”
After hearing this, they looked at each other again, and one of them asked seemingly unintentionally, "Do you know them all?"
"Of course." Wen Yantong said.
Later, no one asked Wen Yantong anything, and she also felt that saying these things was enough, so she kept her mouth shut and walked with strength.
When the sun was high in the sky, Wen Yantong saw a dilapidated village appearing in front of him, surrounded by people wearing masks. Seeing the two people pulling people back, someone greeted them immediately. up.
After being stopped, both of them took out their badges and reported their identities, "Xiaoman, Liqiu."
Several people looked at the badges before letting them go, but someone rushed over immediately, and was furious when they saw Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian, "How dare you act without authorization?!"
Wen Yantong was startled by the roar, and stood with Fu Zixian, quietly looking at these strangers with masks on their faces.
"Why are you so angry? Didn't I bring someone back?" Xiaoman said with a sneer.
"You took away thirty people from the April 1st team, and ten came back! If you don't obey the order and break the rules, I will report to Master Chun, and you will be punished!" the man said viciously.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Man said, "I came back this time and arrested Prime Minister Fu's son. The exchange is definitely worth it."
Several people looked at Fu Zixian for an instant, and then fell silent at the same time, only one said, "Whether it's worth it or not that you broke the rules, let Master Chun make a final decision."
Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian were separated.
She was imprisoned in a house deep in the village. The house was very narrow, a bit like a firewood house, with only a small window at a high place, the sunlight came in slightly, and the whole room was a little dark.
There was nothing in the room, it was empty. Wen Yantong was exhausted after walking for a long time, and he didn't care whether the ground was dry or not, so he sat down and rubbed his feet immediately.
She guessed something from what she saw just now. Everyone here is wearing a mask, which means that they don't know each other at all, and they all rely on their waist cards to prove their identities. I don't know if it was set up for safety reasons. this rule.
They have distinct ranks. There are about four leaders, which should be spring, summer, autumn and winter. The second leader is the twenty-four solar terms. Xiaoman and Liqiu just now are one of them. The remaining soldiers are about one day in each month. .
I just don't know if this arrangement represents everyone, or just a part of Jiang Jiabing.
Wen Yantong was thinking, when suddenly there was a knocking sound on the wall beside him, although it was light, it was still very obvious in the quiet room.
She looked suspiciously, and after waiting for a while, the knocking sound sounded again, she immediately followed the sound and knocked too.
There was a response from the other side, and Shu Er pushed out a stone brick in the corner, revealing a hole the size of a palm.
"Is anyone over there?" the voice came cautiously.
Wen Yantong frowned and approached, lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?"
"Wen Yantong?" The man recognized her voice, and hurriedly said, "Wen Yantong, is that you!"
She was a little puzzled, "You know me?"
"It's me," the man said, "Jiang Ling."
Wen Yantong was shocked, and couldn't turn his head for a while, "Jiang Ling? You are not locked up in the palace, why did you appear here?"
She leaned over to take a look, and found that Jiang Ling's entire face was squeezed against the edge of the hole, half of his eyes were exposed to look at her, and he said anxiously, "I, I was arrested, just last night, why did you come here What about the Fifth Prince? They were also arrested?!"
Wen Yantong said, "You step back, you don't have to talk with your face against the wall."
Jiang Ling backed away when she heard that, seeing that she didn't answer, she became impatient, "Say it quickly!"
Wen Yantong thought to himself that this is a juncture, how can I answer what you ask, so he said forcefully, "Why should I tell you?"
If it was normal, the eldest young master Jiang Ling would have blown his hair when he heard this tone, but now the sharp edges and corners on his body have been smoothed, so he can only speak softly, "I am also concerned about the fifth prince and the others, just tell me Bar… "
"You've been locked up here yourself, why are you worried about other people?" Wen Yantong sneered.
Seeing that Jiang Ling was here, she knew that her previous guess was correct. They were all Jiang Jiabing here. The reason they rescued Jiang Ling was because he might be the last Jiang family.
But the reason for being locked up here is unknown.
Jiang Ling turned around anxiously, as if holding back his words and dared not speak to Wen Yantong, but kept saying, "I'm not a bad person, and I have no intention of treason."
Wen Yantong sat down on the side and ignored it.
In fact, she knew that Jiang Ling really had no intention of treason, and she even knew that Jiang Ling was carrying a huge scapegoat, and he was just cannon fodder. But she still remembered that Jiang Rong used her as a target at that time. If Chi Jingxi hadn't rescued her by accident, she might have been injured by Jiang Rong's arrow.
So she simply sat aside and ignored Jiang Ling's words.
Jiang Ling was in a hurry, talking to Wen Yantong many times, saying all the good things, but still getting no response. Occasionally, the silver mask came in to bring water and food, and he stopped for a while.
The sunlight outside the house gradually weakened, and the inside of the house became dark. The silver mask did not intend to light Wen Yantong's room, so when night fell, her vision was very blurred, and only the faint light from outside could barely see clearly. thing.
Jiang Ling tossed and tossed for a long time, was so tired that he fell asleep, Wen Yantong was still sitting by the wall, feeling uncomfortable all over, and wanted to wait until he was too sleepy to sleep again.
I don't know what is going on with Chi Jingxi and the others now, whether to send someone to look for them, or to go down the mountain and report the matter to the higher authorities. I don't know if Mu Yang's words were given or not. I wanted to say happy birthday to him at first, but I didn't expect to be locked in this small dark room as soon as I turned around.
Just as Wen Yantong was thinking, there was a slight noise outside the door, and then the lock was unlocked, and the door was pushed open a crack.
Her somewhat hazy consciousness instantly came to life, and she stared at the door nervously, even breathing lightly.
Although there was a person walking in, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand. After entering the door, he closed the door behind his back and held it with the door bolt.
She gulped, her heart beating wildly, her scalp numb with fear.
What did this man want to do when he came in in the middle of the night
She leaned against the corner, followed the man with her eyes in the dimness, and saw that he seemed to have come to the wall, and then she didn't know what she was groping for, and there was a rustling sound.
Not long after, the man stood up again, this time walking towards Wen Yantong's direction.
Wen Yantong hurriedly huddled her body into a ball to minimize her sense of presence, but the man still walked over accurately, bent over and grabbed her arm.
In an instant, her hairs sprang up, and she subconsciously slapped the back of the man's hand violently, with ten percent force, and made a crisp sound.
It woke up Jiang Ling who was sleeping next door.
