Chapter 1460 Eventful Autumn
The seven or eight months of the 14th year of Emperor Phoenix may be destined to be a troublesome year.
Mo Hua dealt with the Mo family's civil strife in Mo City. Ji Huangyu, who arrived at the border one earlier than Princess Chu Ning's army, completed the task according to the plan. After successfully taking the life of the other leader as soon as he took action, he ordered someone to hand the news to Chu Ning.
When Chu Ning arrived at the border, he began to accept the power of dispatching troops, rectify the troops, and began to formulate a plan to send troops to conquer wars.
Ji Huangyu's mission is to use the beauty trick. After completing the task, he can return to the imperial capital. Before going back, he couldn't wait to write a letter for Xuanyin Guard to send it back to the imperial capital to Jiurao, which was quite meaningful to seek credit and reward.
However, he probably didn't expect that Xuan Yin Guard had just left with the letter for a long time before he was assassinated and even Xuan Yin Guard who was secretly protecting him could not detect the danger in advance.
This trip, Jiurao also sent four Xuanyin Guards to him.
The number of hidden guards in Xuanyin Palace that has reached the qualification to leave the hall every year is limited, and the hidden guards are powerful. They are all versatile masters who are almost all-round. In normal times, no matter whether they protect their safety or leave them beside them to run errands and kill people, the four Xuanyin Guards are enough.
Moreover, Ji Huangyu's own strength cannot be underestimated.
But most of the assassinations encountered on the road this time were dead soldiers, and more than a hundred people were dispatched - this is a number that cannot be underestimated.
This group of dead soldiers' martial arts skills are also treacherous and unpredictable. When more than a hundred people attacked at the same time, even the Xuan Yin Guards who had been tempered through thousands of times could not be distracted and had to deal with it with concentration.
The guards who left the hall were very quick and could kill them with one move. However, these more than a hundred dead soldiers were not cabbages, but were all masters who had been trained like them.
At that time, Ji Huangyu fought with them, and Xuan Yinwei was only concerned about killing people. When nearly half of the dead soldiers were destroyed, he suddenly heard the order to "retreat", and the people quickly evacuated.
Then, Ji Huangyu disappeared, leaving only a corpse without any marks on the ground.
In addition to the hidden guards who sent the letter back in advance, the remaining three people rushed towards the direction of the evacuation of the dead soldiers, but soon lost their traces.
"No clue was found?" Jiebao arrived almost at the same time as the missing news. Jiurao frowned and looked at the two hidden guards in front of him, "The other two are still checking Ji Huangyu's whereabouts?"
"Yes." The hidden guard who rushed back to report the news lowered his head, "Before his subordinates came back, they had not found Yu Hengjun's whereabouts."
Jiurao stared at the letter in her hand. The beautiful and elegant pen tip was written by Ji Huangyu's handwriting. She thought about the words of Yinwei just now, and knew in her heart that Ji Huangyu could easily be plotted against. It was not that he and Xuanyinwei were incompetent, but that the people who plotted against him behind the scenes were careful and cautious in planning and prepared well.
More than a hundred dead soldiers were dispatched just to deal with him. Not to mention Ji Huangyu, even if he had the skills of Tianshu, he might not be able to guarantee that he would not be captured.
Someone who can mobilize so much and have a reason to do so...
"Transfer my order and ask the great teachers to select a few more people. You go to the southern Xinjiang area to investigate secretly and always pay attention to the movements of the southern Xinjiang court." Jiurao ordered lightly, "After finding out the news, if you make sure that Ji Huangyu is not in danger, you don't have to rescue him, just wait and see what happens."
