It was late at night, but Wang Ji, the head of the treasury department, couldn't sleep. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but that he couldn't sleep at all. He had something on his mind, and it was very heavy. The heavy worries made his chest feel tight, even though he couldn't sleep.
He had been lying on the camp bed early, but his eyes had never been closed, or even blinked very rarely, he just stared aimlessly at the top of the warehouse that was vaguely visible in the moonlight.
It shouldn’t be, it really shouldn’t be! As soon as Wang Ji thought of what he had done a few days ago, he felt a wave of regret in his heart. He regretted that he should not have done something treacherous just for the sake of some vain promise, but it was already done.
He had done it, and it was too late to regret it now. Wang Ji only hoped that God could bless him to survive the current situation. Maybe, it can only be said that there might be a glimmer of hope.
Don’t say it! You can’t say it even to death. As long as you don’t say it, no one will be able to get real evidence. Wang Ji thought about it over and over for a long time. In addition to constantly encouraging himself in his heart, there was actually no other way.
In this current situation, the entire arsenal has been surrounded by the Yulin Legion, and there is no information from inside and outside. In addition to cheering himself up, Wang Ji can only wait for the judgment of fate.
"Who, who is there?" Just as Wang Ji was lost in thought, he suddenly heard some noises outside the half-opened window, and asked in a low voice.
Silence, a complete silence, no one answered Wang Ji's question, but Wang Ji did not feel at ease because of this, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the window, and his hands were groping around on the bed, trying to
I found a weapon that fit my hand, but Wang Ji was destined to be disappointed. Without him, since the Yulin Army blocked the arsenal, all the weapons of more than a thousand officials of the Ministry of War, including Li Youling, the Minister of War, have been confiscated.
Once it was clear, Wang Ji had no choice but to hold the bamboo pillow in his hand and guard it cautiously.
"Master Wang, it's me." After a long time, a deep voice came in from the window. As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Wang Ji's guarded heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he jumped out of bed in a hurry and walked quickly to the window.
, while walking, he lowered his voice desperately and said: "You are finally here, hurry up..." Before Wang Ji could finish his words, a bright light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes and was heading toward his neck, and cold hairs suddenly stood up.
Got up.
Life and death are important matters to everyone. Even a dead soldier will definitely have a little hope when facing death. What's more, Wang Ji is not a person who regards death as home. Faced with the pressure of death, Wang Ji
His nerves were about to collapse. He didn't want to die, especially he didn't want to die now. He was unwilling to do so, but facing the sword light that was about to kill him, he didn't dare to resist at all, because he knew the person's martial arts skills very well.
How scary it was, not to mention that he only had a pillow in his hand at this moment. Even if he had a knife in his hand, he couldn't block the incoming knife, so he could only retreat and jump back with all his strength, hoping to avoid this inevitable blow.
A killing knife.
Wang Ji's own martial arts is also very good. At this time, when he jumped back with all his strength, his speed was astonishing. However, in the blink of an eye, he had already jumped to the edge of the bed. Unfortunately, he was faster, and the opponent was even faster. Before Wang Ji could stand,
Stabilizing his body, the light of the sword was already approaching him like a shadow, and the sharp light of the sword reflected Wang Ji's desperate face in an extremely green color.
It's over! At this time, Wang Ji's old strength has gone, and new strength has not yet emerged. He can't avoid this fatal knife. In desperation, he can only close his eyes and wait for death to come. However, Wang Ji did not wait until he was hit by the knife.
I felt so much pain that I didn't hear the thumping sound when the knife entered my body. Instead, I heard a gentle clanking sound. When I opened my eyes in confusion, I saw two black figures hovering in the room.
Wrapped around, there were streaks of sword light, and the sword light was criss-crossing in all directions, but it did not damage any household items in the room. Even the swords and swords of both sides rarely touched each other head-on. Even if they did, it would be instantaneous.
Retreat, the two sides were going back and forth, the fight was lively, but the noise was so small that it could be ignored. If Wang Ji hadn't nearly been killed by a knife just now, he would have suspected that he was in a dream.
Fast, it was too fast. The two sides fought fast, spinning like a whirlwind in the small room. Even though Wang Ji was also quite skilled in martial arts, he was already dizzy at this time, let alone intervene.
, even his eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the two black figures. Just when his head was dizzy, he suddenly heard a muffled groan, and one of the two figures suddenly staggered, dodged to the side, and then quietly walked away.
The broken window flashed out, and within a few ups and downs, it rolled into the darkness and disappeared.
"Who are you?" Wang Ji was frightened, but he didn't dare to shout loudly. Without him, with his skills, he could definitely kill Wang Ji with one blow before he shouted for help.
He didn't want to die, so he didn't dare to shout for help, or even move his body, but he couldn't help but ask.
The man in black didn't answer Wang Ji's question at all. He raised his hand and a black shadow flew out and accurately hit Wang Ji's neck. However, after hearing Wang Ji's muffled groan, the man in black fell to the ground.
The man walked forward slowly, lifted up Wang Ji's huge body with one hand, and threw it on his shoulder like a torn sack. In a flash, he also jumped out of the broken window, and just before Yue
Sexia waved his hand, but saw a dozen figures flashing out from various dark corners of the warehouse. After gesturing to each other, they disappeared into the darkness separately.
Cold! Wang Ji felt a chill in his head and suddenly woke up from his coma. He jumped up quickly, but suddenly found that he was in a secret room without knowing when, except for a table directly in front of him.
Outside a dim oil lamp, the surroundings were dark and it was difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of a lot of breathing all around.
"Who are you? You dare to kidnap an official of the imperial court, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?" Wang Ji ignored the fact that his head and face were wet with cold water, pointed at a masked man sitting on a chair beside the table, and asked loudly
, but although the words were said in a righteous manner, they could not conceal the weakness in his heart.
"Well said, haha, if you had the king's law in your eyes, how could you end up in such a situation? Hum, you are already here, there is no need to have any more delusions. If I ask a question, you'd better answer it, otherwise
, Hehe..." The masked man sitting on the chair sneered and said something full of threats.
"I don't know anything." Wang Ji knew that he had what the other party wanted, and his life was temporarily safe. However, if he told the truth, he was afraid that the other party would kill him and silence him, so he simply put on an appearance of not being afraid of death, so as not to worry about death.
The momentum is weakened.
"Oh? Haha..." The masked man burst out laughing wildly. The sound was so loud that it made Wang Ji's eardrums hurt. When the laughter finally stopped, Venus was already rising in front of Wang Ji's eyes.
In my heart, I was extremely afraid of the martial arts of the masked man.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" the masked man asked sadly.
"Not afraid!" Wang Ji answered quickly, but his trembling voice gave him away.
"Well, that's going to be difficult. I originally planned to give you a way out, but it seems like there's no need for it. It would be too lonely for you to go to hell alone. I'm going to send your little one to accompany you.
Okay." The masked man seemed to be muttering to himself, which frightened Wang Ji so much that the sweat on his head couldn't stop dripping.
"You, what do you want to know?" Wang Ji asked with a trembling voice.
"What do you know?" the masked man asked without answering.
The matter was so important that Wang Ji did not dare to pour out everything he knew immediately. He glanced at the masked man and said hesitantly: "I know a lot of things. What can you give me in exchange?"
"Exchange? Hehe." The masked man sneered and did not answer. He waved his hand and a voice rang out in the darkness: "Wang Ji, whose real name is Wang Kai, was born in the early years of Wude. His native place is Zhengzhou. He was a Shaolin monk when he was young.
He became a monk, returned to secular life in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and joined the army in the eighth year of Zhenguan. Because of his outstanding martial arts, he had made military exploits. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, he was promoted to the right of the East Palace and led the army. He was immediately transferred to the Ministry of War and served as the director of the arsenal. He has one wife and one concubine.
There are two sons, one daughter, and an old mother living in the house. They live in Yanyu Lane, West Street. Their total assets are about 10,000 yuan. Their origins are unknown and they are probably obtained from bribes."
"You, you..." When Wang Ji heard that all his old friends were brought out, he suddenly became anxious. After stammering for a while, he shouted loudly: "Don't go too far, I am not the official.
So easy to bully."
"Oh, what a strong tone. Mr. Wang is still waiting for the prince to come to save you. Hey, I'm afraid that the prince wants to kill you before it's too late. Well, by the way, the one who comes to kill you tonight is the prince's master Zhang Shizheng.
Really? Ha, it seems that Mr. Wang’s reinforcements are not for the prince, but I am looking forward to it. Say it, I will spare your life.” The masked man said mockingly.
Reinforcements? Naturally, there will be no reinforcements. Apart from the masked man with unknown origins in front of him, let alone the prince, there is another backer who is even more eager to silence him. Wang Ji knows this very well.
However, facing the last glimmer of hope, Wang Ji had to be cautious and cautious. His eyes turned rapidly. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "How can you ensure the safety of me and my family?"
The masked man did not say anything, but just waved his hand. After a moment, a lantern flashed out from outside the door, and several men and women walked in escorted by a group of men in black. Wang Ji recognized those people at a glance.
The young man in his family was in agitated mood and was about to rush forward, but he didn't expect that his body tightened and he was lifted up into the air. Even though Wang Ji was very skilled, he didn't even have the strength to resist at all.
He couldn't even say anything, and could only watch helplessly as the whole family was being escorted away crying again.
"Now, you can say it." The masked man released his big hand that was holding Wang Ji's neck, sat back down calmly, and said with a sneer.
"It's okay, but I want to know who you are?" Wang Ji reluctantly looked at the direction in which Jia Xiao was leaving and said bitterly.
The masked man did not hesitate. He raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing his true face in Lushan. That face immediately made Wang Ji tremble with fear... dd
