The person whose face mask was knocked off had very white skin, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, gray-brown eyes, and blond hair. He was essentially different from the Huns.
Ji Jie had studied the race and distribution of people in the world before traveling. The person in front of him should belong to the Caucasian race among white people. The Caucasians of this era were mostly distributed in Central Asian countries such as Yuezhi and Wusun.
They are also known as the people of the Western Regions. During the Han Dynasty, the Yuezhi and other small countries in the Western Regions joined forces with the Han people to fight against the Huns. As for now, that was a hundred years later. At this time, the relationship between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu was very good, and the relationship between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu was still very good. It hasn't reached the point of breaking up.
Therefore, these three killers were most likely invited by the Huns.
"People from the Yuezhi!" Rouyue also saw the clues. The Xiongnu and the Yuezhi bordered each other. They had sent envoys to pay homage to her father many times before, so she knew them quite well.
No wonder Ji Jie had never seen the martial arts they used. The scimitar was a difficult weapon for the Central Plains people to use, but it was extremely flexible in their hands.
Now that their identities have been exposed, the other two people have no need to hide anymore. They pulled off their headscarves together, and the leader said viciously: "What can you do if you know who we are? You still have to die!"
"You are the most talkative killer I have ever seen!" Ji Jie said in a disdainful tone: "You will also be the most talkative person who will die by my sword!"
The three of them continued to fight fiercely. Ji Jie successfully forced one person back and was about to kill him when the other person arrived in time to neutralize his fierce attack. Rouyue and her opponent were evenly matched, and the Immortal Binding Suo could no longer take advantage of it. Cheap.
It can be seen that the three of them are not only powerful in individual combat, but also good at combined attacks. Let’s talk about the two who fought with Ji Jie. If they hadn’t cooperated well, they would have died by his sword long ago. Every time they encountered a killing move , they can always resolve it smoothly.
…
In the big tent of Wuli Shanyu, a masked man in black stood in front of him and said in a slightly feminine voice: "My master asked me to bring a message to the Shanyu. He spent a lot of money to invite three people from the Western Regions. A killer, carrying out the mission of assassinating Ji Jie."
Wuli Shanyu was overjoyed and stood up and said: "If the Prime Minister takes action himself, Ji Jie will definitely die in the desert! By the way, when will the killer start taking action?"
The man laughed twice and replied: "At this moment!"
"Great!" Wu Li Shanyu nodded and said: "With the death of Ji Jie, the coalition forces are leaderless. Without the help of the people from the Central Plains, how big of a stir can that girl Rou Yue make! To be honest, Ji Jie is my biggest trouble!"
"You can rest assured, Da Chanyu, your troubles will be solved soon! Also, my master said that more new weapons will be shipped in the future, so you should prepare gold. You will have as many weapons as you have. …”
The two chatted for a while, and then the man in black walked out of the big tent, stopped in a dark corner for a moment, reached out and lifted up his mask, revealing a face from the Central Plains.
…
Ji Jie had fought with the killers no less than sixty times, but he still couldn't take them down. It seemed that he couldn't do anything without a strange move. He hid his left hand behind his back and summoned a fine steel hand crossbow from the Sumeru Ring with a thought. .
Pretending to be invincible, he took two steps back, and two killers rushed over.
"Whoosh!" A crossbow arrow that was more than a foot long was shot out for no reason. A killer was unable to dodge and was nailed into his right shoulder by the crossbow arrow.
The injured killer screamed and reached out to hold the arrow shaft to pull it out, but failed because the arrow shot was too deep and stuck in the bone.
Ji Jie said in his heart that it was a pity that he couldn't kill that guy with one arrow. If he wanted to sneak attack again, it would not be that easy. He could only target the man who fought with Rou Yue, although he had suffered the same loss. , but never expected that he would be attacked by Ji Jie.
It was still a hand crossbow. This time Ji Jie calmly took aim before shooting the crossbow arrow, unlike the time before when he raised his hand and fired.
"Whoosh...poof..."
The crossbow arrow entered from the back of the head and came out from the forehead. Not only the person who was hit by the arrow, but Rou Yue was also shocked, and just watched helplessly as he slowly fell to the ground.
"Ji Jie, you actually used despicable means to kill my brother!" The leader of the man in black was furious.
Grandma, do you still need to talk about moral principles? Besides, have you talked about it?
Now it became two to two. Rou Yue's opponent had an arrow stuck in his arrow, and his mobility was greatly reduced. He was forced to retreat continuously. Ji Jie also succeeded one after another. The left arm and right leg of the leader were separated. He was struck by an arrow and his blood flowed freely.
The originally foolproof assassination operation developed to such a point. The killers did not expect that they originally wanted to sneak into the camp to take action, but found that the target person had walked out on his own. They were very excited at the time.
Rou Yue handed over the rope to bind the immortals. The seemingly shabby "rope" seemed to have gained life in an instant. It flew out and flexibly spun around the opponent's body for several times. The next second, he was tied into a rice dumpling. I couldn't move my whole body.
Pulling the rope gently, the man fell to the ground obediently.
Ji Jie was so happy that he placed a sword on his opponent's leg. When he leaned forward, a short sword appeared in his left hand and slashed his throat.
"Ahem..."
The main artery in the neck was severed, and blood flowed like a torrent, even if the gods came, it would be difficult to save him.
In this way, three of the top ten killers in Yuezhi were killed and one was injured in a quarter of an hour. The injured one was even taken prisoner.
"Yue'er, are you not injured?" Ji Jie asked with concern.
"No, I'm very good!" Rou Yue pursed her lips towards the man on the ground and said, "What should I do with him? Did he cut him with a sword?"
Ji Jie came over with a smile, knelt down and patted the man on the face, and said, "Give you a chance to tell me who is behind the scenes, and I will spare your life!"
The man looked at him with vicious eyes and said, "Aren't you not interested? Why bother asking now!"
"You're really ignorant!" Ji Jie slapped him in the face and said, "I gave you a way out with good intentions, but you didn't know how to cherish it. I'll help you!"
"Don't..." The guy came out with a tray: "I don't know who sold you your life, but I know it was definitely not the Huns, but you Central Plains people..."
Ji Jie frowned. Judging from the man's expression, it didn't look like he was lying.
"Zhongyuan people, you are really good at making things up!" Rou Yue put the sword on his neck.
"I'm telling the truth! Only our leader knows who he is, but he's already dead!" He glanced at the body of the "talkative" killer and said, "The price is 30,000 taels of gold. Ji Jie’s head, if I can kill Princess Rouyue by the way, I’ll get an additional three thousand taels!”
Rou Yue was furious. Ji Jie's head was worth 30,000 taels, while hers was only 3,000 taels. The difference was too big. My aunt was worse than him, so how could she make so many mistakes?
Ji Jie's furrowed brows unfurled, and he quickly thrust out the long sword in his hand, cutting off all the killer's limbs, and then screamed like a slaughtered pig.
Finally, he slapped his Tianling Cap and the killer fainted.
"He is already a cripple!" Ji Jie stood up and said to Rou Yue: "When he wakes up, he will become an idiot. Let's go. It seems that danger is always with you and me. It's better to be careful!"
Rou Yue nodded, took the initiative to hold Ji Jie's arm, and the two of them walked toward the camp.
