Jiaochu

Chapter 460 The mantis stalks the cicada
In the evening, Yan Fei was making final arrangements, and He Li was doing the same. On the basis of the original plan, another task was added to get rid of He Shun.

The playboy was sitting in the room, playing chess with himself, his eyes playful, showing a calmness like a cat teasing a mouse.

After Yan Fei finished explaining to Long Yingwei, the night got a little dark. Seeing that the lights were still on in Ye Lingxi's room, he walked over and knocked on the door. After a while, Ye Lingxi came over and opened the door. He asked her if she couldn't sleep, and she nodded. The two of them walked in the yard, and the moon emerged from the clouds. The bright moonlight was as quiet as water blooms. The two stopped and looked at the bright moon.

"Brother Yan, if one day, I am no longer me..." Yan Fei turned his head, looked at the eyes staring at the moonlight, smiled suddenly, raised his hand and patted her on the head, Ye Lingxi turned his head, Seeing the smile at the corner of his mouth, he pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you laughing?" Yan Fei asked, "Is the princess thinking about this every day in her head?" He bent down and whispered in her ear. She said in a loud voice, "Princess, you have time to think about this, why not think about when to marry me." Her face turned red, she said duplicity, "Who wants to marry you," and ran back to the house like a whirlwind.

After saying that, Yan Fei also blushed a little and walked around the yard for two more times before returning to the house.

The outcome will be decided tomorrow.

The next morning, a team of guards escorted the two assassins to Caishikou for questioning. When they passed a fork in the road, four masked men flew down from the roof. They were agile and highly skilled in martial arts. Those guards were no match for them. They could kill them with less than a stick of incense. In the blink of an eye, one of the guards was injured and escaped.

The two masked men shot out a hidden weapon and broke the chains locked on the two prison cars in front and behind them. When they went to save people, the people inside suddenly showed their daggers. The two masked men seemed to have expected it and ducked sideways. The backhand was a knife, and the person inside fell down before getting out of the prison car. Two faces emerged from behind the messy hair. They were not the two Long Shadow Guards, but two of He Li's men in disguise.

When the four masked men were about to leave, a hail of arrows struck them. Boss Lei led dozens of officers and soldiers to surround the four men. He smiled and asked the four men to surrender quickly. He could consider letting the four men live. A masked man released a flare, and Boss Lei felt a thump in his heart. He had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the next moment he became the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind him.

The sound of rapid and powerful footsteps was accompanied by the sound of armor clashing. Seeing the middle-aged general at the head, Lei Boss was so frightened that the flesh on his face trembled three times, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Take it!"

The middle-aged general gave the order with thunderous force, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and there was a deep coldness in his eyes. He was so frightened that Mr. Lei trembled all over. He had no momentum to fight. He, the leader, was useless. Naturally, the officers and soldiers did not have the courage to fight head-on, so they put down their weapons one after another and surrendered.

Two soldiers grabbed Mr. Lei and came to see the middle-aged general. When he was swept away by the other's intimidating cold eyes, Mr. Lei's face trembled with fright, "General Ji... you... are you still alive?"

The other party was He Guang's most capable subordinate Ji Chang. Half a month ago, He Li came to the military camp in the suburbs with good wine and meat to reward the soldiers. He deliberately arrived at the camp at dark and invited Ji Chang to the camp alone on the pretext of admiring the moon. Drinking and chatting on a hillside outside. The wine was drugged by He Li, and he himself took the antidote in advance.

When the jar of wine was drunk to the bottom, Ji Chang was too drunk to open his eyes. He Li took the opportunity to kill him. Unexpectedly, Ji Chang still had a trace of consciousness and saw through He Li's trick. He suddenly sobered up by five or six minutes. , asked He Li why he wanted to kill him, He Li pretended to admit his mistake, took advantage of Ji Chang's unpreparedness, stabbed Ji Chang in the stomach, and immediately pushed Ji Chang down the hillside, leaving two men behind to deal with the body, and he went back first.

Afterwards, two of his men came back and reported to him that they had thrown the body into a pool with stones tied around it so that no one would find it. He Li thought he had nothing to worry about, but he didn't know that Ji Chang was still alive when he was thrown into the pool. As soon as the two men left, Ji Chang was rescued.

"Even if I become a ghost, I will have to come back to settle the score with you!" Ji Chang grabbed Boss Lei by the collar and lifted him up from the ground with one hand, "Tell me, where is the general now?"

Boss Lei quickly begged for mercy, and the smile on his face was really uglier than crying. "The old general has always been in the house, and the second young master has been taken good care of." As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Lei was thrown out of the three rooms with an ouch. Mi Yuan hit the wall with a thud, grinning in pain.

Ji Chang asked people to tie up Boss Lei and his officers and soldiers and take them away, and rushed to He Mansion with the rest.

On the other side, He Li personally led a team of troops to escort the two Longying Guards to Caishikou. He looked like he was sure of victory, but he didn't know that he was already a turtle in the urn and could not escape.

As soon as the two men escorted the two Long Shadow Guards off the prison car, two cold arrows were fired. The two men threw themselves to the ground. The next moment, dozens of archers appeared on the surrounding roofs, surrounding He Li. live. Such a sudden change caught He Li off guard. He clapped his hands, but there was no response. He clapped his hands again, but no one came out.

"Brother, it's useless. Your people are no longer here." He Shun came over from behind him. He Li turned around and glanced at He Shun's face in surprise and resentment, then fell on the fox mask. His face became distorted because of extreme hatred, "It's you, you betrayed me!"

Hua Gongzi said: "I never said that I was the Second Young Master's person, so there is no talk of betrayal. It was the Second Young Master who misunderstood."

"You!" He Li's teeth itched with hatred, and his eyes glanced at Yan Fei and landed on Ye Lingxi's face, "Who are you?" Yan Fei stepped forward to block his cold sight and said, "You can't escape. If it falls, let’s catch it without any effort.”

He Li sneered twice, and his eyes returned to the fox mask. "Brother Hua, you went back on your words and stabbed me in the back. Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Li suddenly widened his eyes in horror, and suddenly laughed wildly. His eyes were blood red, and he shouted "Kill you, kill you, kill you..." as if he was crazy. His expression suddenly froze, and he fell straight to the ground. , motionless.

He Shun immediately rushed over to try to save the person, but the person was already out of breath, with a weird and scary smile on his face.

Ye Lingxi glanced at the stiff smiling face, and another face flashed in his mind, with the same weird and scary smile, but that face was whiter, and it was Xiao Qianzi's face. She turned her head and glanced at the fox mask, and she was already eighty-nine percent sure she knew who he was, but she didn't know exactly how he killed these two people, but her intuition told her that this method Very mysterious and dangerous.

When Hua Gongzi looked over, Ye Lingxi had already withdrawn his gaze. He walked up to He Li, bent down, took away a token from He Li's waist, then walked back and handed it to Ye Lingxi.

"Princess, don't you want a token? I'll keep my word." The corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of fun.

"No need, young master, keep it for yourself." Ye Lingxi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pinched the token with his hand and threw it away. The playboy took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands and said, "It's useless to keep things you don't need."

Yan Fei stretched out his hand to block Ye Lingxi behind him and asked, "Where is Mr. Hua from?"

"The play is over, when does the princess plan to go back?" The playboy was still wiping his hands, deliberately ignoring Yan Fei's words.

At this time, He Shun came over. Although he had won, there was no joy on his face, and his brows were sad, "Thank you three for your help. I'm afraid I can't entertain guests now. I have arranged the accommodation for you three. Please let the three of you go back and rest first.”

Hua Gongzi said his condolences and left first.

Ye Lingxi wanted to go to the He Mansion, and He Shun asked two of his men to take her and Yan Fei to the Mansion.
