Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

There is no need for Qin Ji to issue orders anymore, the dragon guards knew what they were going to do, they walked quickly into the alley, and after making sure that they would not disturb His Majesty...

"Hurry up! You go that way! Old Chang, you chase from the top of the building! Hurry up!"

When saying this, the faces of these follower dragon guards were full of excitement.

They walked through the alleys with unimaginable dexterity, so much so that they even forgot who organized this operation.

Chapter 30 Captured

Xia Yuxiao didn't know what was happening where she couldn't see.

In fact, Qin Ji this time was indeed a big gamble.

Rather than letting those guys attack from the dark like this, it is better to let Xia Yuxiao stand in the open, while he and the dragon guards are in the dark, forcing the other party to come to the open.

Facts have proved that such an approach is still effective. These "assassins" are obviously a little impatient because of the tight defense these days. Their combat literacy is so high, and they must be sure to win when they face the death order from their superiors. confidence.

The task was not completed, but they were the most anxious.

At this time, Qin Ji asked Xia Yuxiao and President Song to stand up together. From a certain point of view, this was the bait used to catch those assassins.He wants the other party and the mastermind behind the other party to fully reveal themselves. Only by knowing everything about the other party can he completely take the initiative.

Of course, this can only be regarded as the best result. In addition, doing so can also bring a "guaranteed benefit".He's pretty sure at least that benefit can be realized.

It doesn't matter that he got into the alley and lost his target for a moment. He is indeed not familiar with the situation here, but it doesn't mean that the dragon guards don't understand.

In fact, in order to ensure that the recent protection work is carried out safely, the dragon guards have carried out detailed inspections of the entire urban area.Under the leadership of Chief Envoy Song, they basically have a little understanding of most streets and alleys.

Therefore, although it is a bit troublesome to chase, everyone's speed has not been dropped too much.

"From that avenue, turn left on the opposite side and go through the second fence gate, there is a shortcut there!"

A follower of the dragon guard said to his companions, when those companions got the news, they immediately rushed over to climb over the fence door, and then took a shortcut to intercept it.

Not long after, Qin Ji heard the sound of fighting coming from a dead end not far away.

Listening to the roars of the dragon guards, it is estimated that the other party resisted fiercely.

Qin Ji immediately rushed over to help them. Obviously, it was not easy for the dragon guards to face these well-trained killers. When the two people surrounded resisted, everyone swarmed up and carried out a righteous group fight. solved the problem.

"Report to the captain, two of them have been caught!"

The dragon guards tied these two people tightly to avoid any mistakes, and one of the dragon guards was stabbed severely in the arm, bleeding profusely.

Fortunately, it was just a trauma, and the wound looked scary, but it couldn't hurt his life.

"His grandma, these two people are too ruthless, they stabbed the knife without saying a word."

Sui Longwei, who was stabbed, was being pinned by his colleagues to bandage the wound. The pain from the wound made him vibrate when he spoke.

He was the first to catch up with these two people. Originally, he didn't want to be violent directly, but asked them to follow him. After hearing his words, the two people also stopped and walked towards him.

He thought the matter was settled, but he was about to ask his colleagues to escort these two people to the Taiwei's side, but the two suddenly jumped up and stabbed him with a knife, while they were still meditating, as if they were brewing some kind of spell .

Therefore, he could only evade the attacks of the two while calling his teammates, but in the end he was defeated.These two guys' moves are directly aimed at killing people.

"Thank you." Qin Ji looked at his wound, and then said, "Take this little money, take good care of your wounds, and don't leave any hidden dangers. It's really hard to find people like Sui Longwei these days."

"Thank you, Captain."

Looking at the five gold coins in his hand, the dragon guard's eyes lit up.

Although the salary of Suilongwei is not low, the benefits are also very good, and there are often rewards, but this time the reward of five gold coins is not a small amount. You know, for a family of three, one gold coin can make This family has been living comfortably for a whole month.

"It's for your recovery. Don't ignore the wound just to save money. Don't blame me if you get kicked out of Suilongwei if you don't recover well." Qin Ji hurriedly reminded him.

"Don't worry, Taiwei, absolutely not! Are we going to escort these two people back to the palace? Will we have to interrogate them later?"

The injured Follower Dragon Guard asked.

Qin Ji looked at the two assassins who were tightly tied up. They all looked like Visi people without any decorations on their chests, and Qin Ji didn't see any symbols of the church on these guys.It seems that for the assassination mission, they didn't wear these decorations at all.

But Qin Ji could still recognize them as the executioners of the church at a glance.

After all, the iconic short sword has just been pulled from the arm of the previous dragon guard, which is a typical church standard equipment.

They have thick calluses on the inside of their middle and index fingers.This is because the daggers they use have another way of using them, which is to use them with a fist between two fingers.

This method is used with the church's boxing method. Compared with simply holding a sword hilt, it has more changes and is more difficult to defend.

Basically, if you meet such a guy in the West with calluses on the inside of his two fingers and a short sword, there is at least a [-]% probability that he is a member of the church.

"Take it back. You should be very clear about the interrogation process. Ask where they came from, who asked them to come, what they want to do, and then ask them about their next plan."

"Will they talk? I don't think they are easy to deal with."

A follower of the dragon guard next to them asked while adding an additional iron chain on the two people.

"Of course it's difficult to deal with. I even think that your interrogation is likely to be a white trial. This group of people is absolutely loyal in their beliefs, and they will hardly reveal any information."

"Then what do we do?"

"What should I do??" Qin Ji looked at him with a half-smile, "You don't think I can really find a way to pry something out of the mouths of a bunch of fanatics, right? Even if I pry it out, definitely not Pry it out the way you usually do."

There is a way to deal with fanatics. Anyway, he felt that there was a high probability that the gang of dragon guards would not be able to get any useful news.

"Then what's the use of us being caught?" Sui Longwei expressed his confusion.

"Catching living people is not just for intelligence," Qin Ji waved his hand casually, "Forget it, forget it, this is not the scope of your consideration, you conduct normal interrogation, tell me if you have any unexpected gains, or you think telling the chief envoy is more important. Well, you can tell Chief Envoy Song. I will deal with it later."

"Taiwei, what else do you have to do? Everyone has been caught..."

"I want to protect His Majesty."

Qin Ji said these words.

He didn't take the opportunity to get close to His Majesty, he just wanted to keep His Majesty safe.Although two of them have been caught, the Dragon Guards will set aside almost half of them to detain people (the two executioners are simply two combat machines), so that the defense around Xia Yuxiao will be loosened .

He has to make it up.

Chapter 31 Meeting

Xia Yuxiao, who was shopping, was sitting in the ice shop, tasting the ice cream inside.

Whether in Great Xia or the current Weixi Empire, freezing points are actually rare in summer.Although people have more or less the technology of making ice and storing ice, ice is still a scarce resource in summer. It is precisely because of this that the prices of cold drinks and ice cream in Weixi Empire's ice shop are not cheap.

Facing the dazzling array of freezing points, Xia Yuxiao chose the orange sorbet that seemed to be the least likely to overturn, while Mr. Song, who was next to her, seemed a little bolder. She ordered a glass of fruit wine with ice cubes.

This is because she still has to serve as a guard, otherwise, according to her thinking, she still wants to order a glass of spirits.

At this moment, Qin Ji opened the door and walked into the ice shop.

The shop is full of people. As one of the few ice shops in Wittnang, there are often customers here. Even if the price of the ice point is relatively high, there are some rich people and some people who want to try something new.

When Qin Ji entered, Xia Yuxiao looked up at him, then continued to eat her ice cream with her head down.

He went straight to Xia Yuxiao's desk and stood there.

"Don't be polite, sit down."

She didn't even glance at Qin Ji.

"Yes."

Qin Ji sat down, nodded to Chief Envoy Song who was drinking next to him, and said, "Your Majesty, I am worried, so I followed here."

"It's done?"

Xia Yuxiao ate the last spoonful of ice cream, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked calmly.

"I don't know what His Majesty said?"

Qin Ji asked suspiciously.

Xia Yuxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her head, and looked at this courtier she was already very familiar with. The cup containing the ice cream was still slightly chilly, radiating a hint of coolness.

"You know what I'm talking about. Or, do you think bullying the king is fun?"

She looked at Qin Ji coldly.The hand that was holding the cup was also placed on the table, tapping lightly.

"The minister did not lie to His Majesty."

"If you didn't tell me to go out and only bring President Song with me, then I might have believed it," Xia Yuxiao said, pointing to the outside, "tell me, how many are ours outside the store now?" people?"

"...only four."

Qin Ji said.

At this time, it is better not to hold on casually.Judging from Xia Yuxiao's attitude, she seemed to be blaming herself, but she was not really angry. Rather than saying that she was blaming her now, it might be better to say that she was creating an aura—an aura that put him in a weak position.

This shows that she actually admitted that she did so.

"How's the result?"

"Two of them were captured alive, and they have already been taken to the palace to be released." Qin Ji replied.

"Do you know, Qin Ji," Xia Yuxiao put the cup in front of her aside, no emotion could be seen on her face, "Sometimes, I actually don't object to your style of doing things, on the contrary, some Things will only work best if you do them. But I also want you to be clear: I am not a pawn in your hand, and I am willing to cooperate with you, but that doesn't mean you can say nothing to me, you know?"

"Your Majesty, keep this in mind."

Qin Ji immediately said with a very humble look.

Seeing his appearance, and Mr. Song's expression of not knowing what happened beside him, Xia Yuxiao eased her tone a bit: "Okay, I can understand the reason why you did this, special period , special treatment. What are you going to do next?"

"The minister is asking other people to interrogate these two people to see if they can get any information from them."

"I find it difficult," Xia Yuxiao tilted her head, and in the direction she was looking, there was a cross symbolizing the Holy Lord, "Qin Ji, I walked all the way from the palace to this side just now, you know I saw what?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"I saw faith, deeply devout faith."

she said with a sneer.

"I saw that almost everyone's home is decorated with decorations that symbolize the Holy Church, and those people even greet each other on the street with church etiquette." Xia Yuxiao was thoughtful, "Fei The great emperor announced to me that the Weixi Empire is the most freed from the influence of the church among the many church countries in the West. However, even in such a country, the belief in the Holy Bishop has still reached this level."

"Qin Ji, do you think those who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs would give us the information we want so easily?"

"I don't need to ask them to reveal the information," Qin Ji added, "as long as two of them are on our side, then the church will probably have to weigh it carefully."

This is a very simple reason.

Qin Ji captured the two executioners of the church. Although the executioners were the most devout group in the church according to the church's propaganda, I am afraid that the church itself would not easily believe that the two executioners could completely believe in their beliefs and keep their mouths shut.
