Catching Monsters

Chapter 252: So there’s nothing to talk about?
Sword God Qi Xin had a blank expression on his face as he slowly said, "Even your men admit that the one who attacked Wanyan Yushan was your sworn brother, not to mention that he was the Khan's most valued son."

"He is still my Qi Xinyi disciple."

Tuoba Anyi's heart sank. Qi Xinyi was not a Hu person. It was said that his ancestors were captured slaves. When he was young, he was bought by the Wanyan family.

Unexpectedly, this person has such an amazing talent in swordsmanship that he has cultivated such a shocking top-level swordsmanship. The fact that the Wanyan family has been able to develop into such a powerful force in recent years is also largely related to Qi Xinyi.

There are many masters in this world, but few people can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of soldiers as in the story.

Qi Xinyi is the one who can do this.

Before the Wanyan tribe wanted to annex and attack other tribes, they would all take action, each man with a sword, and head to the location of the other leader.

Kill all the core members of the other family one by one.

Then the Wanyan tribe could easily annex the other side.

Qi Xinyi was furious at the moment, and many people would die. He said in a cold voice: "You said these two have nothing to do with you. Once you catch them, I will know the truth."

"What are the origins of these two people?"

Tuoba Anyi took a deep breath and said slowly: "The man's name is Jiang Yun, a captain of the Jinyiwei, and he has a close relationship with the Xu family of the Zhenguogong Mansion..."

"As for that woman, I don't know."

……

The next morning, Linglong's magic power had almost recovered, and her complexion was much rosier.

Jiang Yun came back with two meat patties and a pot of milk that he bought on the street and put them on the table.

"Hurry up and eat something. Last night, the streets were full of Hu soldiers patrolling and searching for people." Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we have to leave Jinqu City as soon as possible."

"This attack failed to kill Wanyan Yushan. It has already alerted the enemy. I'm afraid we can't kill him."

Linglong picked up the meat pie, took a bite, frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I'll go see Pan Nangui first to see if he has any plans..."

Just as they were talking, the wooden door of the yard outside the house was suddenly kicked open.

More than a dozen Hu soldiers came outside the door, knocking on the wooden door, and shouting in a language that Jiang Yun could not understand.

Linglong knew some of the Hu language, so she winked at Jiang Yun and said, "You are here with bad intentions."

The Hu soldiers in Jinqu City received an order to capture all male and female slaves between the ages of 20 and 25.

According to feedback from nearby Hu residents, two unfamiliar southerners have recently been living in this house.

Naturally they came quickly.

Soon, the door opened.

It was Linglong who opened the door. She had a smile on her face and said nothing. Suddenly she drew her sword and attacked.

The Hu soldier walking in the front had a long blood mark on his neck. He opened his eyes wide, covered his neck, and soon fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

When the other Hu soldiers saw this, they shouted loudly, drew their swords and attacked Linglong.

Linglong was agile and her swordsmanship was extremely fast. In a flash, more than a dozen Hu soldiers were killed and fell to the ground.

Linglong shook off the blood stains on her sword and saw many barbarians on the street looking over here. She turned around and shouted to Jiang Yun, "Jiang Yun, go!"

Jiang Yun hurried out of the house and fled the place with Linglong.

Although Pan Nangui's Chinese medicine shop was on this street, the two did not dare to go directly to his shop.

Instead, he made sure that no one was following him before entering the Chinese medicine shop through the back door.

Inside the Chinese medicine shop, Pan Nangui sat in front of the counter with an unnatural expression on his face. He had been doing business in Jinqu City for many years and had a well-informed news network. Of course, he knew that someone had attacked Wanyan Yushan yesterday.

I also guessed that it was Jiang Yun and Linglong who took action. The only pity was that they failed to take Wanyan Yushan's life.

Hearing some noise in the backyard, he quickly got up and rushed to the backyard.

"You two, didn't I tell you two to think of a way to take action when Wanyan Yushan goes out hunting?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Pan Nangui accused him helplessly. Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Plans cannot keep up with changes..."

"The atmosphere was perfect yesterday..."

Jiang Yun knew very well that the decision to attack Wanyan Yushan yesterday was definitely the right one.

The only pity is that it didn't succeed.

There was no better time than yesterday.

Pan Nangui heard this and did not dwell on this issue too much. He said in a deep voice: "Jinqu City is now under martial law, and heavy troops are being deployed everywhere to guard it. It is not easy to leave the city..."

Jiang Yun said: "This city wall is not very high. With Miss Linglong and I's skills, it will be easy for us to get out."

Pan Nangui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate the methods of the Hu people. They are not stupid. There are sentinels everywhere on the city wall."

"You really can't find it if you leave the city."

"But the area within a hundred miles of Jinqu City is all endless grassland. As long as they find out that you two have escaped, the Wanyan family will quickly send experts on fast horses to chase you down."

"How can you escape so easily?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yun realized the seriousness of the problem and calmed down: "But the soldiers in Jinqu City have already discovered our whereabouts. We can't hide for long if they are searching."

It would be easy if it was in the capital of Zhou State.

But in Jinqu City, the two of them looked like southern slaves, and it was not easy for them to hide. Pan Nangui walked back and forth, with an anxious look on his forehead. Finally, he said, "Well, you guys wait in my herbal medicine shop for a while."

"I'll try to see if I can bribe the guards at the city gate so that you two can sneak out of the city."

Linglong said, "That's not right. We are being pursued by the police. If you try to bribe someone and send them out of the city at this critical moment, I'm afraid we will be discovered soon."

Linglong said: "We will wait until tonight, kill the Hu sentinels, and then leave the city quickly."

Hearing this, Pan Nangui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange four fast horses for you to ride ten miles south."

Jiang Yun and Linglong hid in a secret attic above the inn. There was only a small window in the attic through which they could see what was happening on the street outside.

It was quite stuffy in here, with many medicinal herbs placed inside. It wasn't very spacious, so the two of them could only squeeze by the small window.

Leaning against the wall, looking at the street scenery outside the window, Linglong's eyes were a little tired, and she said helplessly: "I thought the dog emperor summoned me back to the capital because he had figured it out and wanted me to come back to enjoy my life, alas."

She couldn't help but shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "If it were the princes under his knees, I'm afraid he would not be willing to let them come to Beihu to carry out such a dangerous mission."

"Why did he let my daughter kill for him?"

Jiang Yun was sitting next to her, listening to Linglong's words. He asked in surprise, "Master, are you a princess? Are you His Majesty's daughter?"

Although Jiang Yun knew that she was from the royal family, he didn't expect that she was Xiao Yuzheng's daughter.

Linglong leaned against the window, the sun shining on her face, and said slowly, "I hope not."

Speaking of this, Linglong looked at Jiang Yun with interest and said calmly, "Protector Jiang, I didn't expect that you are a two-faced person. You are lurking in the Red Lotus Sect as an undercover agent, right?"

Jiang Yun said awkwardly: "Master, aren't you the biggest undercover..."

"Then I don't care. I don't blame you for being an undercover agent. You have to tell me where all these strange Taoist skills of yours came from." Linglong narrowed her eyes and stared at Jiang Yun curiously: "It's not certain whether we can leave this place safely. It's not nice of you to keep hiding it from me."

"I……"

"Hey, Master, look at the street."

Linglong: "Don't change the subject."

"No, look."

Jiang Yun pointed to the street and saw Huyan Yaner walking alone slowly towards the Chinese medicine shop.

As soon as Hu Yanyan entered the shop, Pan Nangui at the counter greeted her with a smile: "Sir, are you selling medicinal herbs, or would you like to get some Chinese medicine to take home?"

"The herbs in this shop are all secret recipes of our southerners that have been used for thousands of years. They are effective for all kinds of diseases."

Hu Yanyan smiled and said, "I want to see two people. My people saw with their own eyes that they entered the backyard of your Chinese medicine shop."

Pan Nangui's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "You are joking, sir. I am the only one in this shop..."

"If you don't let me see them, I will go and inform the Wanyan family. With the experts in the Wanyan family, there is absolutely no way they can leave here alive."

"If they want to get out alive, they can only get help from me."

"I don't have any other thoughts, otherwise I wouldn't have come here alone."

As she spoke, Huyan Yaner elegantly sat down on a chair and said, "Go, call them both over."

Pan Nangui frowned and after thinking it over again and again, he raised his hand and bowed, then hurried to the bottom of the attic and told Jiang Yun and Linglong what had happened.

After listening, Jiang Yun thought for a while and said slowly: "Go down and meet her."

After coming down, Pan Nangui first closed the door of the herbal medicine shop.

After Jiang Yun and Linglong appeared, Hu Yanyan'er smiled and said, "You two, I said I wanted to make friends with you, but unfortunately something unexpected happened yesterday."

Linglong said vigilantly: "Huyan Yan'er, just say what you want to say."

"I can help you leave Jinqu City." Hu Yanyan said with a smile: "I believe you know very well that Jinqu City has been under martial law. It is definitely not an easy task to leave."

Linglong asked directly: "What are the conditions?"

She didn't believe that Huyan Yan'er would be so kind as to offend the Wanyan family without asking for anything in return.

"I told you that I want to make friends with you two. As friends, I need you two to do me a small favor before you leave Golden Melody City."

"Help me kill Xu Dingwu."

"Xu Dingwu also betrayed your Zhou Dynasty. You Zhou Dynasty must want to get rid of him, right?"

Hearing Hu Yanyan'er's words, Jiang Yun and Linglong were both shocked and surprised.

Huyan Yaner wants to kill Xu Dingwu?

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "Miss Yan'er, you must have misunderstood. You probably don't know that I have an engagement with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion?"

"When Xu Suwen and I get married, Xu Dingwu will be my father-in-law. Killing your own father-in-law is unacceptable anywhere."

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Huyan Yan'er's eyes were indeed filled with astonishment.

She really didn't know Jiang Yun's background well enough, but she came to him because she saw the good skills they showed yesterday.

After all, these two people were spies sent by the Zhou Kingdom. It would be reasonable to kill Xu Dingwu together, and it would not implicate himself.

It's much more convenient than having your own men do it.

Hu Yanyan asked calmly, "So there's nothing to talk about?"
