Ji Jie returned to Yingdu and first met with Sima Xueran and Chen Yao to learn more about the development of the intelligence department and commercial organizations in the days since he left, and then went to the Chu Palace to meet Yan Hou.
With the recognition and help of the Chu royal family, the two women's work progressed quickly and was very effective.
It became Ji Jie's habit to stand in front of Li Yan's palace and straighten his appearance. After doing this, he said loudly toward the inside: "Ji Jie, Lord Zhaowen, pays his respects to Empress Yan!"
"You Prime Minister, please come in!" Two beautiful palace maids opened the door with smiles.
Ji Jie was slightly startled, thinking that every time he came here, Li Yan was the only one. Why were there two maids today?
However, these two palace maids are quite beautiful and can compete with Chen Yao and others.
"Damn it, you're finally back!" Li Yan walked up to him without any scruples, hugged his arm, and walked in together.
"There's someone!" Ji Jie reminded in a low voice. He subjectively thought that Li Yan was excited because he hadn't seen him for several days!
"It doesn't matter, they two are my confidants!" Li Yan said with a smile: "They are loyal to me and will never mention a word about me to outsiders!"
"Really?" Ji Jie couldn't help but look back at the two ladies. The two palace ladies had the same blush on their faces!
Wait! Why are you so red-cheeked? Ji Jie can read everything from their expressions on how girls are embracing their spring!
"It's not convenient today!" Li Yan explained the mystery with one word, blowing hot air into Ji Jie's ear and said: "So I asked these two to accompany you. They are both untouched girls. You can do your best in a while. Be lighter, okay?"
Wow!
The thunder is rolling! Ji Jie never thought that such a thing would happen, a woman introducing herself to a woman!
There was a hint of mystery in Li Yan's smile. She was afraid that after Ji Jie left, she would forget all about what happened here, and that she was afraid that her weight in his heart was not important enough.
If it’s not heavy enough for one person, add two more!
Ji Jie quickly thought of this. As for Li Yan's small-mindedness, he felt that he could just be well aware of it and there was no need to point it out.
The two palace ladies, one named Xiao Xi and the other named Xiaorou, Li Yan introduced the three of them and left with a smile.
…
Recalling the previous erotic scene, Ji Jie boarded the carriage with satisfaction, and the three Xiong brothers accompanied him back to his home.
"Your Majesty, what have I been talking about with you?" Xiong Bianhan asked with a smile.
"Ask what you should ask, but don't ask what you shouldn't!" Xiong Kui gave him a surprise.
"That's right!" Xiong Ba said in an ambiguous tone: "When you go up to see Yan Hou, there must be something important to discuss. Why are you so worried about this!"
"I understand, just don't ask anymore!" Xiong Bi looked aggrieved.
The streets today are a little deserted, perhaps because of the gloomy weather. This also makes Ji Jie, who is accustomed to the dry climate in the north, feel very unhappy. It looks like it will rain soon.
"Get home before it rains, hurry up!" Ji Jie said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The coachman made a crack of his whip, and the speed immediately increased a lot.
When passing through a crossroads, a carriage suddenly rushed out from another road. Ji Jie's driver subconsciously tightened the reins, but he still collided with the car.
"Is your Majesty okay?" the three brothers asked with concern.
Before Ji Jie had time to speak, dozens of feather arrows were shot from the doors and windows on both sides of the street.
"Be careful, there's an ambush!" Ji Jie shouted, and then quickly ran out of the car, throwing six thunderbolts at the six doors and windows where cold arrows were fired.
The three brothers reacted very quickly. They immediately pulled out the giant ax on their backs and knocked down the arrows aimed at them one by one. The coachman did not know martial arts and was instantly turned into a hedgehog.
"Boom boom boom..."
An explosion sounded, and a dozen assassins hiding behind doors and windows were blown out.
"Use thunderbolts to kill these bastards who are firing cold arrows!" Ji Jie gave the order. The three brothers took out their shields and fired their thunderbolts at the hidden assassins.
A black figure appeared on the roof in the distance. He was Song Yang, the killer sent by Lu Buwei.
Songyang had done in-depth research on Ji Jie and knew clearly that it would be difficult to complete the assassination mission with his own abilities. After thinking about it, he formulated a plan to fish in troubled waters and arranged thirty-six equipment and hardware in the shops on both sides of the street. The crossbow assassin first launched an indiscriminate attack on the carriage and guards, and then hid further away to accurately assassinate Ji Jie.
Taking out a powerful crossbow specially designed for the Qin army, Song Yang took out a crossbow arrow from the arrow kettle behind his back with a blue-light arrow. It was obvious that the arrow had been tempered with poison.
Songyang calmly fired his bow and arrow and aimed at Ji Jie's back.
"Ji Jie, you are dead. If I take your life, who dares to look down on me!" Song Yang gritted his teeth and pulled the crossbow, and the crossbow arrows shot straight towards Ji Jie.
Ji Jie was already a master of seeing in all directions and hearing in all directions. When Songyang's crossbow arrow was shot, he heard it very clearly. He suddenly fell backward and reached out his right hand to stabilize the poisonous arrow. of catching.
His left hand was not idle either, and he threw a thunderbolt in the direction where Song Yang was hiding.
Songyang was dumbfounded at first. This was so perverted. He could actually catch the crossbow arrows shot from behind with his hands! No, something seemed to be flying towards him. Oh my god, it was a thunderbolt!
Songyang quickly slid down the ridge of the roof, and thunderbolts exploded in the air.
Several shrapnel were nailed into Songyang's waist and right leg. He fell down from the house in an awkward posture, limping one leg and ran southward. He had hidden a horse there in advance, and the retreat route had been arranged long ago. .
"You guys clean up the remnants of the enemy here, I'll go after the mastermind!" Ji Jie dropped these words, started Qinggong and chased after him.
Song Yang had just untied the reins from the hitching post, and before he could get on his horse, Ji Jie was already standing in front of him, blocking his way.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Ji Jie asked coldly.
Songyang knew that his chances of escape were slim, so he threw away the reins, pulled out the sharp knife hanging from his waist, and said: "Use people's money to eliminate disasters, why bother asking other questions!"
"You are covering up for your master even when you are about to die!" Ji Jie threw the crossbow arrow on the ground and said: "This is the polished crossbow arrow of the regular army of Qin State. I know you are from Qin even if you don't tell me. I am in Qin State." You don’t have many enemies, your master is Lu Buwei!”
Although Songyang didn't speak, Ji Jie still got the result from the change in his expression when he heard the three words "Lu Buwei". It turned out to be this old guy who never died.
"Come on!" Song Yang rushed forward.
It has to be said that if Songyang was not injured, Ji Jie would have to take at least twenty moves to subdue him. I can only believe that he has no chance now!
"Shua..."
Song Yang only felt a flash of sword light in front of him, and his neck felt cold. Then his whole body became inoperable, and then he fell to the ground, blood spurting out from his severed throat.
Looking at Ji Jie again, he stood aside with a calm expression and a long sword in his hand.
