Ji Tang

Chapter 1044 Assassination
On the second day, Ji Run got up early and went to the palace to go on duty.He is the captain of the Jinwu Guards, and there are captains, generals, and generals above him.The general is Duan Zhigan, the younger brother of the emperor's confidant Duan Zhixuan. He is the Jinwu Guard Left Guard General and leads three thousand elite Jinwu Guard Left Guards to guard the safety of the palace.

Ji Run was working as an errand under Duan Zhigan. He had been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. Duan Zhigan had long disliked him and complained to the emperor many times. However, the emperor always called him over and scolded him afterwards. That's it, don't be too obvious about your favoritism.

Although Duan Zhigan was not as good at leading troops as his brother Duan Zhixuan, his resourcefulness was not as good as that of his nephew Duan Zan.But he was strict with himself, loyal, and extremely strict in running the army.When he met someone as undisciplined as Ji Run, he would have punished him and told him to get out of Jinwu Guard.

But the emperor didn't allow it. He also said that this boy was young and should be given more opportunities. Duan Zhigan was even more angry and almost ran away.In addition, there are many generals in the army who care deeply about this boy, and sometimes they even turn a blind eye.

As for the reason, he also knew that it was simply that this boy's father was Ji Song, the Duke of Xi.

Of course he had met Ji Song, and they had fought together. There was nothing to say about fighting, and he admired him.But even though he has done so much credit, he doesn’t have to be so lazy.

This guy is quite good. He asks for leave every now and then and is very lazy.Apart from the fact that there were no problems in training and he trained his soldiers well, he couldn't stand anything else.

This kid went home on leave a few days ago, and it's been almost half a month.I thought I would never come again, but who thought I would come this early in the morning.Heck, it's strange that he came earlier than me.

"Meet the captain!"

Seeing Duan Zhigan coming, Ji Run quickly greeted him.

"Uh! Get up!"

Seeing that this kid was presentable and not lazy at all, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, and suddenly he was confused. He didn't know what kind of medicine this kid was selling in his gourd.

But now that he's back, he can't ignore it.Mr. Hao was fighting outside, so he had to keep an eye on this kid to make sure he didn't cause any trouble.

"Well, stand aside and wait until the others arrive!"

"promise!"

There must be a point in the army. Anyone who fails to do so will be dealt with according to military law. No one dares not to take it seriously!

After waiting for less than half a quarter of an hour, someone walked into the check-in room. Ji Run also knew the person who came. He was either a noble or a rookie in the army. Anyway, no one was simple.Seeing that the time was coming, Duan Zhigan also lit the incense.This incense can only burn for a quarter of an hour. If it is not there by then, you will be beaten with a military stick.

"Meet the Captain!"

Finally, when the incense burned out for the last moment, Zhang Wei felt it.

"Stand to your position!"

Zhang Wei did not dare to neglect and quickly stepped aside.He habitually looked left and right, and suddenly he looked to the left as if he had seen a ghost.

"What are Captain Zhang looking at?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Wei to reply, he showed a rare smile and said: "This captain is very happy today. In the past, our captain finally came earlier, and he came earlier than this captain."

"Well, it deserves praise!"

"Ji Run!"

In everyone's disbelieving eyes, Ji Run stood up awkwardly, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Ji Run is here!"

"Well, today is a good day. I hope you can continue to do so in the future and don't let me down, Captain!"

"Captain, don't worry. My subordinate was ignorant before. Yesterday, he was scolded by my ancestor. Now he has woken up in time."

He looked around and said sincerely: "Run has caused a lot of trouble to everyone before. I apologize here. I also ask all colleagues to forgive me for the sake of my youth and ignorance."

"I'll be the host later. Let's find a restaurant and make amends to you right then and there!"

Everyone was stunned, and someone actually said stupidly: "Seriously?"

"Of course, a real man will stick to his words every time he spits on them!"

After he finished, he said to Duan Zhigan: "I would also like to ask the captain to give me a favor. How about we go together?"

Duan Zhigan was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work. You guys can go, I won't go."

"But I'm warning you, don't drink too much and miss tomorrow's event, or see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go ahead and do what you have to do!"

"promise!"

When everyone came out and Ji Run and everyone were in a better place, everyone happily went on duty.Although Ji Run often asked for leave during this period, causing confusion on their duty.It would be a lie to say that he is not angry, but who wants to have a good father?It's good to be able to apologize to them now.Whoever can do things around the emperor is not a human being?They are familiar with borrowing donkeys from Poxia.

"Hey, let me tell you, what's wrong with you? How come you're like a different person?"

Zhang Wei has become familiar with this kid during this time. He is calm if you say he is, and he does everything in an orderly manner.But you are just lazy and ask for leave every now and then. Do you think being on duty with the emperor is just playing house?If you want to do it, do it, but if it's not relevant, just do it?
If others dare to do this, they will be kicked out of the army.If you do anything wrong, you will lose your future, but this guy is completely fine. Do you think he is angry?

"It's harmful, don't mention it. It's embarrassing to say it. I was scolded by my ancestor yesterday and almost made a move. You also know what kind of temper my grandma is. I have never seen her lose such a temper in my whole life. I was so angry yesterday. I was so scared, my mother said, if I dare to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, she will break my legs without my ancestors taking action."

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Wei gave him a sympathetic look and said, "You were pretty good, but my father really beat him. Last time my brother got into trouble, he was beaten half to death."

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, and they felt like they were in the same boat!

On this day, Ji Run led people to patrol outside the emperor's palace.Maybe it was what happened yesterday that really frightened him. Today he was so honest that he didn't even dare to go to the toilet for too long.

But patrolling is too boring, and he can't be lazy. Now he just hopes that the time will come soon so that he can go home and rest!

"See Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, when they saw the person coming, everyone quickly saluted.

Li Shimin just nodded at first and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw Ji Run was also in the team.Thinking of the news from Chen Shou today, I immediately wanted to tease this kid.

"Ahem. Ji Run stays and continues to patrol the other doors!"

"promise!"

Looking at everyone's secretly envious glances, Ji Run wanted to cry but had no tears!

"What's your expression, kid? I'm so unpopular with you? Isn't it just that I kicked you yesterday? What's more? Your father is the one who kicked me, and you're not happy anymore?"

Li Shimin fiddled with Ji Run's dejected head and said angrily.

"How dare you, you are the elder. I can only bear it!"

It was okay if Ji Run didn't say anything, but after saying it, Li Shimin laughed angrily.

"You kid, you only care about eating and not fighting. It doesn't matter, so go away. Do you really think I care about you? You won't come tomorrow!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Ji Run was shocked.He quickly went up and said, "No, my mother will beat me to death if you let me go back!"

"Hmph, what do you want me to do?"

"Then I won't leave. Instead of going back and being beaten to death, I'd rather be beaten by you. I'm such an adult, and if I'm chased and beaten by my mother all day long, I won't be able to see anyone anymore."

Li Shimin felt happy in his heart, but his face remained calm as he said, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ji Run opened her mouth, but was too stunned to say anything. "Did you make your grandma angry?"

"How do you know?"

He felt like he had seen a ghost. How did the emperor know about this?
"Hmph, what happened in Chang'an City has not been hidden from me. I just didn't expect that such a gentle person would get so angry?"

"You are quite capable, kid."

But then he gloated: "Your father is such a filial man. If he knows that you have made your mother so angry, I will see how he will deal with you when he comes back."

"No way, my father never hits me."

Ji Run said cheerfully.

"That's when you haven't seen your father get angry. I heard my old man say it back then. Your grandma was almost bullied by bandits. When your father found out, guess what?"

Cheng Chusi, who was following the emperor, said.

"what happened?"

"What's wrong? Go to Heifeng Mountain in the Qinling Mountains and have a look. The bandit village that once held a hundred and eighty people is still barren of grass. The graves of those people are now only three feet high. No one dares to collect their corpses now!"

"How is it possible? Why don't I know?"

Brother Ji Run shuddered, imagining that a village of [-] people was wiped out overnight. Even if he had been training on the battlefield for three years, he still couldn't believe it.In fact, my father never got angry in front of them, and he was always smiling.

"Do you understand now? A truly ruthless person will never show his emotions outside. You have never seen your father's ruthlessness on the battlefield. At the beginning, Goguryeo's 3 troops besieged your father's [-] people. But he was stunned. Your father scared the opponent's general and ran away. He even achieved a record of one man blocking five barbarians, which shocked the world!"

Ji Run was dumbfounded. Are you sure this is my father and not someone else?
"Then why don't I know?"

Ji Run said stupidly.

"You!"

Li Shimin was a little helpless. He was usually very smart, so why did he become stupid now?

"Go away, why do you want to go? I feel upset just looking at you now!"

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to this kid and turned around and left with everyone.

When he didn't get an answer, he could only return to the team. He dismissed everyone's inquiries about what the emperor had said to him with an irritated look. He didn't hurried to the restaurant until the time for duty came.

There is no reason to break the promise if you have already promised it. He had already sent someone to the housekeeper to prepare it in advance.The place to eat is not a big restaurant, just a nice-looking place.

"Run is here to apologize to you all today. Let's eat and drink well. Don't save it for me!"

After saying that, everyone laughed, but it was really rude.Everyone here doesn't know that the Ji family has never been short of money. It's hard to come across an opportunity this time. If I don't kill him once, I won't be able to bear the pain that I and others have suffered these days!
"Uncle Zheng, look out for me and don't let anything happen!"

Lao Zheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, eldest son, I promise to make them feel at home!"

In fact, going to Pingkangfang would definitely be extremely satisfying for these big bosses, but if he dared to go today, the uncle of the prince would be in a dilemma of life and death without his mother having to say anything.

Now that we are about to get married, how dare we go to a brothel?It would be an advantage for him if he didn't break a leg.

By the time the banquet was over, everyone was almost done drinking.I have to be on duty tomorrow, so I don’t dare to drink too much.After delaying the matter, Captain Duan and He would not spare them just because they drank too much.

It was the end of Haishi at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets.However, they are Jinwu Guards. As long as those Wuhou find out their identities, they will not embarrass them too much.

It was late at night, and when he walked to an alley, he frowned.The butler beside him whispered: "Find a place to hide later, be careful!"

After saying that, he ignored Uncle Zheng's horrified eyes and slowly retreated outside.

swoosh~
A sound broke through the air, which was the sound of a strong bow.With a serious look on her face, Ji Run pushed Uncle Zheng into a blind corner, but he didn't retreat but rushed forward.

"Who dares to assassinate our captain? Come out!"

Fortunately, he was a military commander, so he didn't go home after he was off duty, so he always kept his weapons with him.Use the horizontal sword to block the arrows, causing the opponent to do useless work.

"kill!"

Seeing that the arrows were useless, the opponent dropped his bow and arrows, drew out his scimitar and rushed towards Ji Run without hesitation.

But they obviously looked down upon Ji Run. Although this kid was bold, his ability was not something he could boast about.His martial arts skills are also inherited from Ji Song, and his battlefield skills are even more outstanding among the younger generation!

"Pfft!"

With a slash of the knife, the opponent's eyes slowly lost their look of disbelief.

In such a short period of time, three people were killed by Ji Run.And there was such a big movement here, of course the patrolling Marquis Wu also heard it, and there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

The assassins looked at each other and invariably distanced themselves from Ji Run. Some even braved death to stop Ji Run, while others hurriedly retreated.

Missing a single hit and escaping thousands of miles away is really the essence of a killer!
"Captain Ji, are you okay?"

Wu Hou chased him and expressed concern.

"Nothing, those people went that way!"

Ji Run pointed in a direction, and Wu Hou did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led people to chase him in that direction.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Uncle Zheng hurriedly ran over to see if Ji Run had any injuries, but Ji Run stopped him!

"It's nothing, it's all the blood of the enemy."

"Don't let the old lady and mother know about this after we go back. Grandma is old and can't be stimulated anymore."

"but"

Uncle Zheng hesitated.

"It's nothing, but instead of making the family uneasy, it's better for us to investigate ourselves. Why bother, I probably know who these people are."

"I just didn't expect them to be so decisive and so fast!"

"who is it?"

Old Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

He was lucky today. If something happened to the eldest son, how would he explain it to his wife?Therefore, these people must die. Do you really think that I, Ji, are made of clay?

"Big cannibal!"

"It's them?"

Lao Zheng was shocked!
Although his status in the Ji family was not high back then, he still knew about the sudden appearance of the cannibals.But after so many years, we met him again, and he was still planning to assassinate the eldest son?
