Begonia walked freely and freely.

Fan Xian looked back naturally and casually, patted his butt, put his hands behind his hands, and Shi Shiran walked back along the mountain road covered with wet moss.

The two talked a lot and hid a lot from each other.

Watching Fan Xian leave, Haitang looked thoughtful and took out several golden copper pins from his sleeves.

These were found from the blasted pits, and the sharp ends had been somewhat deformed by the impact. The blood stains on several of them were obviously the most fatal attacks.

Haitang had never fought against Zhou Ji, and no one in the entire Nanqing had ever had direct contact with him. She only knew that he was famous at the Prince Jing's Poetry Club, for provoking the ninth-grade swordsman Xie Bi'an on the spot, and then preventing the assassination on Niulan Street.

Killed the eighth-grade master Cheng Jushu with one move.

Now it seems that what this person is best at may not be swordsmanship, but the crossbow in the box.

A crossbow that fires sharp copper pins and is extremely powerful!

The warhead touches lightly and makes a soft sound.

Haitang turned around and jumped over the shoal, disappearing into the jungle.

........

the other side.

Zhou Ji didn't know that his reputation had spread to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he already had a very appropriate bandit name.

‘Sword Coffin Zhou Silence’.

At this time, he was carrying his sword box all the way south, rushing towards Xinyang day and night.

After these days of recuperation, his ankle was no longer seriously injured, and most of the previously overdrawn internal strength had recovered, so the journey was not too slow. He could arrive outside Xinyang City before the news of Yan Xiaoyi's death reached Xinyang.

In the distance, a slightly dilapidated city is located on the bank of the Xinshui River. There is traffic, chickens and dogs hear each other, and paddy fields are scattered in a patchwork manner. Mountains and forests in the distance rise one after another. A wide avenue extends deep into the mountains and forests. Looking faintly, it seems that

There is a cluster of pine trees and several floors of pavilions.

Zhou Ji looked away and thought to himself.

With Barrett's power, he could shoot wherever he hit, and with a body like Li Yunrui's, even Lin Shou, the corpse stitcher at Qiushou Execution Ground, wouldn't be able to do it, let alone leaving a whole corpse.

Pulling out a silver-gray pistol from his sleeve, Zhou Ji took out the magazine and glanced at it, then closed it again with a snap, then crouched and moved towards the princess's mansion.

Since Li Yunrui dismissed almost all the palace maids and eunuchs when she left the capital, those who followed her to Xinyang were all close associates, and one of her personal maids was in the eighth rank.

Zhou Ji checked out the surroundings of the mansion beforehand, and through the scope he saw a woman with skin as fair as cream, walking out of the room, elegant and dignified.

Zhou Ji didn't know Li Yunrui, but he could recognize him.

Since being expelled from the capital, Li Yunrui has been living in seclusion in the mansion. He just looks at the somewhat deserted flower beds and grass in the courtyard every day, as if he is missing the past events.

Perhaps the chill in late autumn was too biting, but Li Yunrui seemed to feel a bit cold between his brows while standing in the courtyard.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time for Yan Xiaoyi to succeed, right?" Li Yunrui looked towards the distant mountains and murmured.

Looking up at the blue sky, a small bright light suddenly flashed through the distant mountain forest. Li Yunrui subconsciously wanted to squint, and then a crisp sound broke the tranquility deep in the jungle, like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Through the mountains and forests.

In an instant, countless birds were frightened.

Li Yunrui felt her face heat up, and then a thick blood filled her surroundings. When she touched it lightly with her fingertips, the scarlet and sticky blood made her heart tremble, and an extremely bad premonition emerged in her mind.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look and saw that the maid beside him had already flown out upside down, and her whole body was cut into two parts at the waist.

"Ah~!!"

No matter how vicious your heart is, you can't offset your instinct of fear.

Li Yunrui had never seen such a tragic death before. He screamed and his legs became a little weak.

Who is it? Who wants to kill me?

Individual figures flashed through his mind, including Shen Zhen, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Fan Xian, Chen Pingping, and... Emperor Qing.

Finally, all the figures gathered in one place, and a somewhat unfamiliar figure floated from the treetops in the distance, carrying a sword box on his back, showing murderous intent.

"Are you...Zhou Ji?"

For some reason, Li Yunrui felt relieved. She didn't know the young man in front of her, but she knew that he was not from Emperor Qing.

Just this is enough.

enough.

Zhou Ji glanced at the pieces of flesh and blood on the ground, and couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling helpless but unable to bear it.

Everyone else in the mansion has been targeted by him, but Li Yunrui's personal maid, whose eighth-level strength is more secure with Barrett.

"No need to wait, no one will come to save you." Zhou Ji sighed softly, walked up and closed the maid's eyes, turned back to Li Yunrui, and said in a deep voice: "After all, she is Fan Xian's mother-in-law, I want Leave your whole body intact."

The fear came from the unknown. When Li Yunrui saw that the person coming was Zhou Ji, he gradually began to regain his composure.

"Did Fan Xian ask you to come?" Li Yunrui snorted coldly and sneered: "You're just showing off!"

"Killing you has nothing to do with him." Zhou Ji sighed softly and said quietly: "Just because you shouldn't have sent Yan Xiaoyi to the border to intercept and kill Fan Xian, he shouldn't have shot me coldly. If I had hesitated at that time For a moment, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

'One farewell and two widths, never see each other again.'

The figure with her skirt swaying slightly and her arms outstretched came to mind again.

A trace of annoyance and resentment flashed in his eyes.

"I killed you out of pure anger." Zhou Ji flipped his wrist and took out a silver-gray iron weapon. The strange shape and black round tube made Li Yunrui's heart tighten, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Gunfire rang out.

Li Yunrui's eyes widened, and something seemed to have opened a blood hole as thick as a finger in the middle of his eyebrows. Through the hole, he could even see the withered grass and a pool of blood behind him.

Zhou Ji looked at Li Yunrui, who was lying in a pool of blood, with neither sadness nor happiness in his eyes.

...........

On the mission side.

After Fan Xian found someone to build a simple trestle on the spot, he led the envoy across the river and through the forest, and officially entered the territory of Northern Qi.

Wudu River is not far from Qishiling, and there is a remote town on the upper reaches of the river. Because it is at the border of Qing Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty, there are military posts stationed on both sides, so small conflicts are naturally inevitable.

Fan Xian knew that the residents in the town did not feel close to his delegation, so he did not stay here. Instead, he went north along the gradually smoothing official road. He walked along the way for several days and finally saw a pass. At the end of sight.

The horses were lined up, the door was wide open, and the garrison on the city wall was patrolling back and forth in three steps.
