[03 Crime City Dangerous]
Ji Ping and the other three, heading south to Que City to meet the prince.
Qicheng is in the southwest direction, west of Que'er Lake, at the junction of grasslands and forests. Quecheng is not a city, at most it is a cargo distribution center, aquatic products from the south and fur horses from the west, and trade with local wheat, rice, silkworm and tea.
Different races of people travel through, with many merchants and numerous people. The army is mixed in, very complicated.
Ji Ping and the other two arrived outside the gate of the Prince's Army. After a moment of notification, Ji Yan went out to greet her.
"Second brother has worked hard all the way!"
"Why did your highness come to greet him personally? I dare not, don't you?" Ji Ping quickly bowed his hands to bow. Everyone was kind, and the group came to the big tent.
"Brother is a rough man. He only likes to lead troops to fight, not to stay in the holy city." Ji Yan complained to Ji Pingyitong.
"The father is obsessed with elixirs and does not hear of the war. This time I sent you to get medicine again, completely ignoring your comfort." Ji Yan took a sip of wine.
"I'm fine, you can go out and have a walk, it's also a happy and joyful life." Ji Ping replied with a smile.
Ji Yan glanced at Ji Ping and said disdainfully: "It's true. If you leave, aren't you afraid of any changes in the Holy City?"
Ji Ping knew very well that his prince's brother loved to think about military affairs. The king was very dissatisfied with him, but he was the eldest son, and he was not a child.
Ji Ping is 17 years old, both civil and military, meticulous, and always cautious, otherwise he would be slacking off. This time I went out to look for medicine, and I also volunteered to stay away from the political whirlpool.
Ji Yan stepped back and approached and handed Ji Ping a key and a six-point dart . He whispered to Ji Ping: "This key was brought to you by a chief of the Southern Tribe a few days ago, saying it will be of great use in the future."
Also, Ji Yan looked at the tent door and whispered: "Someone used this dart to assassinate the night of the night, but the person didn't catch it, and the dart was not poisonous, but the sign on this dart was very strange."
Ji Ping looked at this very ordinary six-pointed dart. There was a round hole in the middle of the dart, and six diamond-shaped dart blades arranged at the same angle. It was very sharp. Between the round holes and the dart blades, strange symbols were carved, like the totem of a certain race, and they had never seen them before.
Ji Yan continued: "This is what happened last night. You should have lived in that big tent, but you escaped because you were one day late." "It seems that someone is targeting you, so you should be very careful later."
"Thank you for your reminder," Ji Ping was puzzled and thought for a long time but didn't know who would assassinate him. It seems that there is a mysterious force staring at them in the dark. Ji Ping wrapped these two things in Dingxi and put them in his arms.
The dinner was hosted by the Crown Prince Ji Yan, and all the civil officials and generals in the camp were present, and Huo Yushan also attended the event with Ji Ping. The black-clothed messenger was not in front of him, it seemed that he had a mission.
laughter and joy in the tent, the prince Ji Yan sat on the west east, Ji Ping was on the side, and also sat on the west east, Huo Yushan sat on the south. The other generals sat in turn according to their positions.
Ji Yan picked up the wine glass "First of all, welcome the second prince to work hard, come to Quecheng to see me, please drink this cup full of food." "Welcome the Second Young Master" Ji Yan and Ji Ping drank it all with the soldiers.
Ji Ping thanked the prince's brother for the hospitality and conveyed the king's concern for the prince and the soldiers. Because Ji Ping's real mission is still a confidential operation, he travels openly by traveling around and experiencing the people's sentiments.
After a while, plates of mutton were brought up, and pots of fine wine were brought out. Suddenly, the meat was filled with fragrance in the tent, and the wine was fragrant. There is a table, a plate, and a pot in front of each person. Everyone took the knife and ate the mutton with their own food, and feasted in the wine.
The servant continued to serve mutton soup and pancakes , as well as blanched small vegetables , which is made of meat and vegetables, and is full of color, fragrance and taste.
Ji Ping was not thinking about fine wine and delicacies. While drinking wine, he was thinking about the darts. He glanced at Prince Ji Yan and felt that Ji Yan had forgotten this, just caring about drinking and eating meat with the soldiers.
The banquet lasted not much, and everyone could stop it immediately and drink until the time was right. Ji Yan greeted Ji Ping and said mysteriously: "Second brother, don't stop, leave the city immediately."
After saying that, he hugged and surrounded him, he left the banquet tent and went straight to rest, not looking at Ji Ping at all.
Ji Ping shivered, sobered up with sweat and wine, greeted Huo Yushan, and rushed to the back mountain of Quecheng.
Just as he passed through a forest, he suddenly rushed straight to Ji Ping's back. Ji Ping keenly caught a faint sound, and immediately turned to the side, clamped the dart with two fingers, "Six points again". Ji Ping frowned. Before he could think about it, several men in gray had already rushed to the front of him and stabbed him with sharp swords.
Ji Ping dodged left and right, drew out his short sword, and entangled with the man in gray. Huo Yushan was also besieged, five against one. Huo Yushan used a stick as a stick, and defeated the nearest one in just three moves. The other four surrounded Huo Yushan and gradually led him away from Ji Ping.
Huo Yushan could see clearly, but these people were very skilled in martial arts and could not solve it for a while. He was anxious, but he could not do anything about it.
The man in gray who besieged Ji Ping was obviously higher than those who besieged Huo Yushan. It seems that he was going to kill Ji Ping.
Ji Ping was not panicked, and he thrust his left and right with a short sword. His body was light and like a dance. He did not lose his disadvantage for more than a dozen rounds. However, the two of them were entangled with the man in gray and could not win or get out.
At this moment, the black-clothed messenger arrived. As soon as a ray of light flashed through the scabbard, the two men in gray fell down immediately, and they didn't understand how he made the sword even if they died.
The leader in gray saw that the other party had a helper, and whistled, and suddenly disappeared. He retreated so quickly that even the fallen corpse disappeared.
The black envoy told Ji Ping that it was the prince's order passed down by Pang Wu, deputy general of the Crown Army. He asked him to bring enough supplies, stare in the southwest of the city, and respond to Ji Ping.
Just as I heard a fight by the Queer River, I rushed over according to the sound. Ji Ping didn't have time to think about the relationship between these people, and he didn't think about who the man in gray was. He took the horse led by the messenger in black, flew onto the horse, and ran eastward around the south bank of Qu'er Lake.
