Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 72

Ziqiu couldn't understand, so he asked Ji Wuyan, what does the prince mean by this?
I heard that even Lu Jiangjiang, who was benevolent in saving his life, never visited her, and Miss Lily from Fengchenju didn't have any letters, but she only sent this one to her.

Ji Wuyan frowned and smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said with a deep coldness, "Probably, at certain moments, he felt that I was very much like his...old friend."

Whether it's suspicion or interest, in short, the current self can be regarded as half of the prey in Li Yuqi's eyes.

Ji Wuyan walked slowly to the window, and looked at the moonlight pouring down like silver, she slightly raised her face, her face without a veil was bathed in the moonlight, like the best white jade, half flaws could not be seen.

She murmured softly, "My heart... is very comforting." The lingering sound scattered into the wind, like an ancient sigh.

……

Under the same moonlight.

In the dense forest outside the city, several black figures quickly passed by, and stopped at the door of a hunter's hut in the dense forest.There are often such huts in dense forests for hunters to rest for a while, and store some non-perishable food and medicinal materials for healing trauma, and few people come and go on weekdays.

The head of the man covered his face with a red scarf, and the exposed upper half of his face was stitched together like ugly withered bark, and he could still see poorly crafted stitches, slanting across the bridge of his nose. His eyes were slender, and his left eye was intact. , but the pupil of the right eye was frighteningly pale.

Such a person, even under the blue sky and daylight, would feel terrifying, not to mention the sound of birds chirping from nowhere in the dense forest at night...

Even the subordinates who had seen this face too many times lowered their heads.No one knows what the other half of the face covered by the red scarf looks like...

"If you can't catch a woman and child, you told me that the other party acted meticulously, that she lived in the doctor's house, and she lived in seclusion on weekdays, so it was difficult to start. Well, I should let you catch a weakling. Weak girl..." The man's voice was low, but unexpectedly pleasant, his gaze coldly glanced at the subordinates who lowered their heads, "How long has it been? Say it yourself, how long has it been? Have you caught anyone?"

"That girl is like a loach...you said you wanted to catch her alive..." one of the subordinates defended in a low voice.

"It's true...it's weird, and it's too familiar with the streets and alleys in the city, and it disappeared after turning around..."

"There is also the Ji family, which is also weird. It looks like a maze at night... It doesn't look big, but I can't find the place no matter what, evil door!"

One complained, and the rest echoed, and suddenly opened up the conversation. At first, the person listened patiently, but gradually he couldn't understand, "Wait, what Ji's family? Why did another Ji's family pop up?"

"That girl from the Shen family is now living in Ji Wuyan's house in the eastern suburbs, just the luthier who doesn't show up in Fengchenju."

The man's slender eyes narrowed dangerously, and his speech slowed down, "You mean... a girl, a luthier, you can't handle it? You are evil... I think you are evil! A lot of men, Kong A man with strong arms, he might not be able to deal with two little girls! He is really powerful, he still has the face to live, and he still has the face to stand here and complain to me..."

"I'm here today to tell you that the Lord has lost his temper. It's me! I pleaded for you and allowed you to live until now, but if you still can't manage it, let alone you, even I... have to die!"

The man looked down at his subordinates who knelt down instantly when he heard the words, and asked sharply, "Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" The sound resounded through the night sky in unison, waking up the birds sleeping in the trees, fluttering their wings and flying away. The wind blew and the leaves rustled, and calm soon returned.

The man looked down, and in his pale pupils, he could vaguely see the brown and blue pupils moving in the direction of his gaze. After a while, he turned and left without saying a word.

The kneeling subordinates counted the footsteps until they could no longer hear them, and then let out a sudden breath, and got up from the ground one after another, slapping their chests, shaking their legs, "I'm so scared to death..."

"Hey, tell me, what's the matter with the head's face?"

Someone at the side immediately scolded, "You're new here? Don't die, dare to talk like this behind your back? You're gone, why should you go? Didn't you hear that, if you can't catch that little girl again, what's wrong with you?" Let us eat the bitter fruit!"

"Speaking of which, Ji's house is really evil. Last time I wandered around in it all night, not to mention the door of the girl from the Shen family, I couldn't even find the door! But at dawn, I turned around suddenly. , and found that I was at the foot of the wall at all... Are you saying it’s evil? Anyway, I don’t want to go to Ji’s house, whoever you like to go to!”

"Re, really so evil?" This situation is really a bit intrusive, and the dense forest at the moment makes people get goosebumps even more, "Xiao Wu, didn't you go there a few days ago and didn't find anything wrong? "

The one called Xiao Wu smiled mischievously, "I, I was knocked unconscious not long after I entered, and when I woke up, it was already daylight...so..."

He rubbed his head and didn't continue, but everyone understood - to put it bluntly, it was the other party's mercy that saved his life.

This Ji family is really evil.This is the unanimous opinion of all present.

"Anyway, the head of the family just wants us to catch the girl of the Shen family. Let's avoid that evil place. Don't annoy her and get us done quietly..."

"That's the truth. Let's go... It's getting late, go back to sleep early, and think about how to act tomorrow."

"It's back..."

In the dense forest, the sound of scattered footsteps gradually faded away, and the surroundings returned to silence, except for the occasional murmur of a bird in sleep.

The moonlight is quiet and serene.

But two people came out from behind the tree, and one of them asked curiously, "The Ji family...is it really so evil?"

The other person had a face with Chinese characters, and his unsmiling look seemed a bit rigid. He was obviously not such a gossip, so he shook his head and didn't speak.

The other party asked again, "Master seems to be interested in the Ji family these days, shall we... want to report?"

The other party didn't speak, turned and left with his hands behind his back.When he turned around, the silvery white color around his waist flashed away.

As if he was used to his taciturnity, the man was not in a hurry, followed a few steps, and muttered to himself, "That house was given to the master by His Majesty, tell me, could there be some problems in the first place? How can a little girl have such supernatural powers... Why don't you ask the master? What do you think?... Hey, Xi'an, wait for me!"

The man called Xi'an still didn't react at all, he only quickened his pace, and after a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Shut up!"
