Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 31 Unexpected Situation

The sky was pale, and there were already busy vendors coming and going on the slightly damp and cold street.

It was not just Fang Jie and Xia Chaochen who were teleported here, but after stopping several passers-by to ask questions, they realized that this was a city only a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

It is indeed a coincidence.But thinking carefully about Fourth Master Cui's plan to allow his descendants to develop in the imperial city, it seems reasonable to place the teleportation array here.

This place is not far from the imperial city, so the two of them didn't stay too long, so they bought two horses and rode on the official road one by one.

Speeding all the way, in just three hours, the tall city walls of the imperial city appeared in sight.

"Finally home..." Fang Jie smiled emotionally, exchanged glances with Xia Chaochen, and subconsciously touched the so-called treasure Yu Ruyi in his bosom.

However, less than ten miles forward, a black figure suddenly appeared in the woods beside the official road.

The horses that Fang Jie and Xia Chaochen were sitting on were startled, so they had to rein in the reins, and while comforting them, they focused on the tiger standing in the middle of the road.

However, the person who seemed to be a bandit to the two of them suddenly knelt down on one knee, folded his fists and lowered his head, and said, "Master!" It was a young girl's voice.

It was only then that Fang Jie noticed that the clothes this person was wearing seemed to be the unique clothes of his twenty killers, and he asked him to take out his waist card to confirm, and at the same time recognized the eyes exposed by the black cloth mask, so he went with Xia Chaochen He got off his horse and asked, "Why did you appear here?"

"Back to the young master, something happened in the imperial city." The girl killer replied a little out of breath.

"An accident?" Fang Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously connected it with Li Mang's sudden attack. He already knew something was wrong, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"

The girl killer took a deep breath and said: "The second prince launched a coup last night, controlled the entire imperial city, and completely blocked the news."

"What?" Xia Chaochen and Fang Jie's expressions changed suddenly.

"I was ordered by the coach of Megatron Haiwei to go out of the city to find a field training venue. Last night, I happened to meet a friend who was in the same organization. He told me that he and the entire organization had received the news of the coup in advance and moved outside the city. Temporary escape, and reminded me to be careful, so I returned overnight, lurking outside the imperial city for one night, confirmed that the news was correct, but I couldn't enter the city for a while, and finally had no choice but to go north to find the young master. I thought we met on the road." The killer girl continued.

Xia Chaochen hurriedly asked: "That is to say, Mrs. Madam, Megatron and the others are still trapped in the imperial city?"

A flash of remorse flashed in the killer girl's eyes, and she nodded.

Xia Chaochen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Fang Jie.

But to his surprise, the current Fang Jie did not act impulsively in anger, but was calmer than him.

Of course, this is just the surface.Fang Jie is naturally extremely concerned about the safety of his parents, but years of experience have taught him that the biggest taboo in the face of emergencies is impulsiveness.Now, he was thinking, and his mind was quite clear, and he quickly figured out the ins and outs.

"No wonder Fourth Master Cui stayed out of the matter. This person probably already knew about it, and made up his mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The coup d'etat of the second prince must be operated by Prince Zhan behind the scenes. And Li Mang's actions are also certain. It was because Li Qingyang was rescued in advance that he was so confident. But the treasure was clearly not in the hands of Lord Zhan, so why did he launch a coup in a hurry now? Could it be because he won over the second prince and no longer needed the treasure? History really happened Change, the coup is ahead of time..." Fang Jie thought to himself.

After roughly understanding the problem, he raised his head and smiled at Xia Chaochen, who was watching him cautiously, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."

"That's good." Xia Chaochen nodded, and said again: "You don't have to worry too much. After all, the master is the richest man in the Jin country and holds the lifeblood of the country's economy. No matter who owns the power and finally comes to power, he dare not easily hurt his."

"It's true, but my parents' comfort is in someone else's hands, so I don't feel at ease no matter what." Fang Jie shook his head and said.

Xia Chaochen nodded in agreement, and said: "In this case, we will spread the news as soon as possible and tell the troops stationed nearby."

"No." Fang Jie shook his head, "It's hard to say who the troops in the vicinity are loyal to. Even the troops farther away, they have allegiance to whoever they used to be in the past. The instability of the regime will bring about great changes. We can't see through people's hearts. , I naturally don't know who will come to 'King Qin' and who will rebel, if the news is spread easily, the situation will become more complicated and chaotic, and in that case, the comfort of my parents will be even more threatened."

After being told this, Xia Chaochen realized how stupid his proposal was, and his heart trembled violently. He didn't dare to come up with any random ideas, so he completely put his heart and soul on Fang Jie, and asked, "Since this method is not possible?" Okay, so do you have any better ideas?"

"Yes." Fang Jie took a deep breath, looked at Xia Chaochen and said, "Sneak into the imperial city and save people!"

Xia Chaochen was taken aback, and asked almost subconsciously: "How to save?"

Fang Jie thought for a while, then looked at the girl who brought the news, and asked, "You said before that the Shadow Killer Legion got the news of the coup in advance, and they all moved out of the city for temporary shelter?"

The killer girl said: "Yes."

"En." Fang Node nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl was taken aback for a moment, but she also replied: "Master, my name is Xue Ji."

"En." Fang Jie looked at him with a smile, and said, "Xue Ji, I will give you a task now."

The girl immediately knelt down on one knee, "Master, please tell me."

Fang Jie said: "I want you to find the Shadow Killer Legion now, find out where they are stationed, and then come back here and tell me."

The girl said: "Yes", then got up abruptly, and got into the jungle in a flash.

After hearing these words, Xia Chaochen immediately understood Fang Jie's intentions, and said, "You want to hire the shadow killer army to help?"

Fang Jun nodded, "Since the Shadow Killer Legion has been transferred, it must be the transfer of the entire branch. With their help, we have enough strength to make things happen."

"Having said that..." Xia Chaochen expressed his concern, and said: "Since the Shadow Killer Legion knew the news in advance and transferred it, it must not want to be involved in this political change, how can we convince them?" They shot to help us?"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "That depends on my eloquence."

Afterwards, the two tied the horse to the uncle in the jungle, walked to a small river, drank water and rested, and waited for news from Xue Ji.

More than an hour passed like this.When Xue Ji appeared again, she brought good news.

"Thirty miles away?" After listening to Fang Jie, he stood up and said, "Okay, let me meet this shadow killer army."

Immediately, the two were in the light, and the other was in the dark, all the way through the mountains and dense forests, and after an hour, they came to a ridge.

Just when they set foot here, a warning came from the dense forest on the other side of the ridge: "Private territory, please leave quickly."

Fang Jie stopped in his tracks and said loudly: "At Xiajie, I'm here to ask the person in charge of the Shadow Killer Legion's branch in the Jin Kingdom to discuss something important."

There was no more warning in the jungle, but a black shadow flashed, and on the trunk of a big tree at the far edge of the jungle, a man with a scarred face in black appeared, and said in a condescending tone: "Fang Festival? Fang Yuanshan’s son, right? I know you, because I trained those twenty killers of yours.”

"So that's how it is." Fang Jie said with a smile, "May I ask what this senior is called?"

The scarred face snorted coldly, but said: "This is where we are stationed, outsiders are not welcome, no matter who you are, leave quickly."

Fang Jie still smiled and said: "Senior, I have something important to ask, please let me know."

"I said, leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude." Scar said expressionlessly.At the same time, he stretched his hands to his waist.

Seeing this, Xia Chaochen frowned, and took a step to stand in front of Fang Jie.

However, at this moment, on the barren grassland between the two opposing sides, there were ripples in the air, and a tall, thin middle-aged man came out unexpectedly.

"Leader!" A figure with a scarred face flashed and appeared next to this person, lowering his hands in salute.

Fang Jie and Xia Chaochen looked at each other, deeply shocked by the ability of this space mage to travel through space with a flesh and blood body, and at the same time secretly said, "A master of the three realms of heaven and man!"

I saw that the middle-aged man slowly set his eyes on Fang Jie, and the corners of his mouth, which was always smiling, were pulled up a little, and he asked, "Are you Fang Jie?"

"Yes." Fang Jie stepped forward, clasped his fists and said.

The middle-aged man nodded lightly, paused for about two seconds, and then asked again: "Just came back from Jianchuan Road?"

Fang Jie was startled, and couldn't help admiring this person's information, he hurriedly said: "Your junior has indeed just returned, and heard about what happened in the imperial city on the way, but like you, he doesn't want to get involved in it, he just wants to rest assured that his parents are safe, and I am alone and weak, so I came here to ask my seniors for help, to see if I can lend me some manpower so that I can sneak into the city and rescue my parents, and after that, I will definitely pay ten times the market price."

The scarred face sneered disdainfully, but he didn't dare to interrupt indiscriminately.On the contrary, the middle-aged man slowly raised his hands, which are whiter than a woman's, patted lightly but forcefully, and said at the same time: "Even if it's just an idea, it's really impressive. admire."

Fang Jie hurriedly said: "I also ask the seniors to help me."

The middle-aged man paused for another three seconds before speaking unhurriedly, "I, and the people under me, have never participated in political battles. I have every reason to refuse your request. But, once Firstly, you are just saving people, secondly, because of your filial piety, I might make an exception for you."

Fang Jie was overjoyed.The scarred face was shocked, forgetting whether it was appropriate, and blurted out, "Boss, how can this be?!"

But the middle-aged man slowly moved his gaze, glanced at it lightly, and when the man's face turned pale, he said lightly: "Fang Jie, after the matter is completed, according to what you said, ten times the reward must be given I, in addition, I want you to promise me a condition, what do you think?"

"Dare to ask senior what is the condition?" Fang Jie asked.

But the middle-aged man asked back: "If you are allowed to commit suicide in front of me after it is done, would you be willing?"

Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "If this is absolutely necessary, if it can save my parents, I am willing."

"Okay!" The middle-aged man spoke quickly this time, "You're not even afraid of a request like death, so what conditions do you have that you can't accept?"

Fang Jie thought about it, so he nodded and said, "I promise."
