In the dead of night, Ji Jie appeared in the Nanshan Sect's territory dressed in night clothes. He found a small pool of coagulated blood in front of a house, and judged that the assassin was indeed hiding here.
The house was empty, so Ji Jie carefully opened the door, got in, and started looking for clues.
Except for a dusty table and a shelf by the wall, the huge room was empty. A bare vase on the shelf caught his attention. Unless someone moved it often, how could it be covered with dust?
No!
Ji Jie reached out and touched the vase, took a deep breath and slowly turned it. When the vase was turned in a circle, a gap automatically appeared on the opposite wall, allowing one person to enter or exit.
"It turns out to be a secret room!"
Coming in, there was first a narrow passage, which was damp and dark. Ji Jie held his breath to prevent the poisonous gas from being sprayed out at any time. He stepped very lightly every time to avoid triggering mechanical traps. He walked through a passage of more than ten meters for several minutes.
At the end of the passage is a ninety-degree turn, and then there is the secret room inside.
The light was on in the secret room. Ji Jie pricked up his ears and heard this conversation coming from inside:
Damn, I was so unlucky. I was about to succeed, but was destroyed by a kid with an arrow. Fortunately, I was smart enough to dodge quickly, otherwise I would have died on the spot!
Okay, stop talking, I have to give you some medicine! But you, second brother, were really lucky. If you missed it even an inch, it would have hit your heart. This crossbow arrow was so powerful that it almost penetrated you.
My body needs peace of mind to recuperate. It will be ready in less than a month. By the way, who shot the cold arrow?
Brother, I saw clearly the appearance of the archer. He is a young man of about twenty years old. If my estimate is correct, he is Zhao Wenjun Ji Jie, the helper invited by Sima Xueran, the eldest daughter of Beiyuan faction.
Ji Jie? Killed Ji Jie, the third child. This kid ruined our good things again. Find an opportunity to kill him. Otherwise, we will not get the remaining money smoothly. Since the day our Can Wolf Group was established
, I have never suffered such a big loss. My reputation must not be ruined in the hands of this kid.
From the analysis of the dialogue, it can be concluded that these two guys are the first and second boss of the Can Wolf Group. Ji Jie can definitely jump out and take them down. Although they are two people, one of them is injured and their strength is naturally greatly reduced.
, but he did not do so because there were only two of them. Even if they were caught, it would only be two assassins. The elders of the Nanshan Sect would never admit that he had invited them, and they would probably bite back.
Tuke, the first leader of the Can Wolf Group, and Sa Xuji, the second leader, are not inferior to Ji Jie in their skills. The reason why Sa Xuyu fell into his hands was because he was too confident at the time and thought he was about to succeed. Who would have thought
He fought his way out of the way and finally found his way.
Quietly withdrawing from the passage, Ji Jie restored the entrance and left.
Early the next morning, Ji Jie told Sima Xueran exactly what he had learned last night.
"It's really the Nanshan sect's fault!" Sima Xueran gritted his teeth and said, "I never expected that the two sects would join forces, but our side would be deceitful. Brother Jie, thank you for your hard work!"
Ah? Brother Jie?
It was the first time that Sima Xueran called Ji Jie such a name. Seeing him stunned on the spot, her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she muttered in a low voice: "Why, you don't like me calling you that, why did Xue Ling call you Jie?"
You promised so readily when I became my brother!"
"I like it, of course I do!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I just didn't expect the cold sister Xueran to be like this. Haha, from now on, you call me Brother Jie and I call you Sister Ran, how about it?"
"Sister Ran? Let's forget it. I have goosebumps all over my body!"
"No!"
After breakfast, Sima Mu took his son Sima Tianming, Sima Heng took Sima Xueran and Ji Jie, and the five of them appeared together at the Nanshan Sect's territory, blocking the gate to see their elders.
Sima Jing, the elder of the Nanshan sect, was a shrewd and capable man who acted resolutely and unscrupulously. He was nicknamed Sima King of Hell. In the Qin State, he hooked up with Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei. The Nanshan sect developed rapidly with the support of the Qin State.
In less than a year, the intelligence network of the Qin State was unified, and he could always report what happened to Lu Buwei as soon as possible, which increased his political leverage.
Sima Jing has a horse-like face, with deep wrinkles indicating that he is a scheming person. His triangular eyes are pointed toward the sky and his nose is pointed towards the sky. This kind of honor does not dare to be flattered, but with such a face, he is highly regarded in the Qin State.
.
Sima Jing didn't want to see them at first, but because these people blocked the door and refused to leave, he had no choice but to invite them in.
"Haha, what are you doing with these two elders coming to my place? Sit down quickly and serve me some good tea!" Sima Jing's face was full of enthusiasm, but everyone could see that the hypocrisy in it far outweighed the enthusiasm.
Sima Heng and Sima Mu got straight to the point. Sima Jing's expression changed slightly, and his horse face became longer.
"Of course family reunification is what I have always wanted, but it's just inappropriate for you two to pin your hopes on me, right?" Sima Jing smiled sinisterly and said, "If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't stand by coldly, but
The key is that I’m not good at it, but I still have some self-awareness!”
"Since Elder Nanshan is unwilling to contribute," Sima Xueran said mercilessly, "then please don't do any malicious damage, okay?"
Sima Jing still had a smile on his face, pretending not to understand and asked: "Eldest niece, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what I mean!" Ji Jie stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and then pointed to his little finger and said: "Someone asked for help, secretly, and the purpose... of course is not to do good things. Elder Nanshan is a smart man, I think
you understand me!"
Sima Jing's expression changed. Of course he understood the meaning of a little finger. It was the symbol of the Can Wolf Group. His brain was running rapidly. Could it be that he had asked the Can Wolf Group to assassinate Sima Tianming? It was impossible. He failed.
It will never be fake or exposed.
But how could they know these things? Sima Jing's heart began to beat, and his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in front of him. Except for Ji Jie's mysterious face, the others' expressions were quite normal, which meant that there was nothing wrong with it.
exposed.
"Haha, I decided to do my best to help!" Sima Jing's attitude made a 180-degree turn. He stood up and said passionately: "It is our responsibility to unify the Sima family. Please do your best."
Don’t worry, on the day of the meeting, I will definitely follow your lead, and no matter what opinions you put forward, I will spare no effort to support you!"
"Okay, it's settled!" Sima Heng stretched out his hand, and Sima Mu also stretched out his hand.
"Bang bang!" Sima Jing high-fived the two of them, saying he would never go back on his word.
Ji Jie didn't show any excitement at all. He knew that Sima Jing had no choice but to compromise. Once things took a turn for the better, he would immediately deny what he had said.
