(The results of the new book are very important, the votes cannot be stopped, please support, Wubi thanks.)
At the same time, in the depths of the forest outside Kyoto, a mysterious man in a black robe and a strange mask has gradually been cornered.
It’s ridiculous to say that he originally received the order to track down Zhou Ji and test the opponent’s details as much as possible, but halfway through the chase, he suddenly changed from a hunter to a prey
While tossing and turning, no matter how he dodged, he could feel an extreme danger aiming at his forehead. His keen intuition that life and death were on the line made him escape in the mountains and forests for a full two hours.
Seeing a rocky cliff in front of him, the tense man in black finally gave up resistance, turned around, and stopped walking.
"Run, why don't you run?"
The place is surrounded by walls on three sides. Zhou Ji's voice came from the woods, but it echoed here.
The man in black smiled wryly in his heart, and didn't even give him a chance to listen to the voice to identify his position. This person's strength is truly unfathomable.
"Young Master Zhou, I have no malicious intentions." The man in black felt the sense of crisis between his brows was still there, and continued to explain: "I am the shadow of the director of the sixth division of the Appraisal Institute, and I came to look for you by the order of the dean."
Speaking of this, a glint of darkness flashed in the shadow's eyes. He boasted that the shadow he took was mysterious, and he followed suit like a shadow, but now his shadow was stepped on by his opponent, and he couldn't even control his own life and death.
Is a ninth-rank archer? Or Grand Master?
Shadow had seen the ninth-grade archer in the palace, and his extremely dangerous intuition told him that Zhou Ji was far more terrifying than Yan Xiaoyi.
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, and moved the muzzle of the gun away from the shadow's eyebrows.
"Where is your dean? I can go see him."
The voice fell, and the one who fell silent turned into a shadow instead.
Catching Zhou Ji and bringing him to the dean and being threatened by Zhou Ji to see the dean are two different concepts.
The sense of crisis between the eyebrows gradually disappeared, and Zhou Ji's voice came again.
"Don't worry, I have no conflict of interest with him, and it won't be against him." Zhou Ji dismantled Barrett and put it into the sword case, adding, "The location is the gazebo where you ambushed the black knight."
Shadow's eyes froze for a moment, but there was a hint of suddenness.
Also, this person is so good at tracking and anti-tracking, how can he not know that there is an ambush by the black knight?
Now it seems that he had just bid farewell to Fan Xian, so he had already anticipated this moment, right?
Shadow thought for a moment, and decided to report the truth to the dean, and let him take care of whether he sees or doesn't see him in the end.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ji took the lead to return to the gazebo. Fan Xian and Wang Qinian had already returned to the capital. Only footprints and a lonely gazebo remained on the empty wilderness.
Zhou Ji was not in a hurry, he knew that Chen Pingping would definitely come back to see him.
It was getting dark, Zhou Ji yawned and sat up from the fence, stretched his waist, and looked into the distance.
Didn't take out the binoculars, and didn't need the binoculars, the trembling gravel on the ground had already clearly informed that a large group of people was coming here.
"It seems that Chen Pingping is indeed not in the capital." Zhou Ji sat down again, glanced at the layout around the gazebo, and thought, "That's right, Emperor Qing and Fan Jian wanted to call Fan Xian back to the capital to get married, so how could they keep Chen Pingping behind?" What about in Kyoto?"
Hundreds of black riders stopped outside the wilderness, and a carriage wrapped in iron spikes like a prison stopped in front of the gazebo. The door opened, and there were a few light coughs from the dark and deep carriage.
The shadow stretched out the auxiliary road and pushed Chen Pingping into the gazebo, and took a few steps back, but did not go far.
Chen Pingping waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. Although the shadow was unwilling, she still chose to obey, and retreated a few steps to ensure that she could protect the dean in the shortest possible time and could not hear the chat between the two in the gazebo.
"Zhou Ji."
The two began to look at each other as soon as they met. Although they didn't speak, it was the temptation of their eyes.
After a long silence, it was Chen Pingping who finally spoke first, with a calm and indifferent expression that made it impossible to see what was going on in his mind, "Do you know that this place is surrounded by black knights, as long as I give an order, even if you repair Why can't you avoid the black horse's iron hooves even if you have reached the ninth rank?"
Zhou Ji smiled, ignoring Chen Pingping's head start, and he didn't have time to deal with Chen Pingping here.
As he said to Shadow, he and Chen Pingping have no conflict of interest, and he doesn't care about the other party's threats.
"Dean Chen doesn't need to test me, I'm not your enemy, and I'm not interested in being your enemy." Zhou Ji waved his hand and said, "Fan Xian regards me as a best friend and confidant, at least in terms of helping Fan Xian, I and you position is the same.”
"Oh? What's my position?" Chen Pingping had a cold smile on her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was a murderous intent.
"He is Ye Qingmei's son, and you are Ye Qingmei's licking fan. The guilt and longing for her these years have become your demons and the motivation to live." Zhou Ji didn't shy away, and said directly Breaking through the scar buried in Chen Pingping's heart, she sprinkled salt on it, "You have already found out the real culprit behind Ye Qingmei's murder, right? Or you have already found out a long time ago."
Chen Pingping couldn't hold back her sullen expression anymore, she looked at Zhou Ji inexplicably in horror, her palms subconsciously retracted into her sleeves, and she moved away from her legs to support the handle of the wheelchair.
"Stop! Don't move!" Zhou Ji was paying attention to Chen Pingping's reaction the whole time, and naturally saw the other party's "confused" movements. At the same time as he shouted anxiously, the stone in his palm was also thrown out, hitting Chen Pingping's shoulder.
At her peak, Chen Pingping's strength was definitely at the top of the ninth rank, but since her legs were crippled, her dark wounds have not healed for many years, and her cultivation base has been exhausted for many years. With her inconvenient movements and Zhou Ji's sneak attack, she couldn't dodge the stones for a while , Half of the body suddenly became numb and weak.
"Listen to what I have to say!" Zhou Ji gave Chen Pingping a white look, waved his hand to signal the shadow who wanted to approach to leave, and under Chen Pingping's gloomy expression, continued, "It has nothing to do with me if you want to take revenge on Emperor Qing. I don't want to be tricked by you, so I'll take this opportunity today to make things clear."
Zhou Ji straightened his expression, leaned over to meet Chen Pingping's eyes, and his alienated eyes showed a kind of indescribable loneliness, "Don't mess with me."
After speaking, he straightened up and looked at Chen Pingping quietly.
Chen Pingping even saw a trace of Ye Qingmei in Zhou Ji's eyes, which was very similar to but completely different from the Ye Qingmei he met back then.
Similar to being cold and lonely, but different to being alienated from the world.
"What's your relationship with her?"
After a long silence, Chen Pingping spoke again, and there was no cover of scheming in her voice, but only trembling expectations from nervousness.
"She is a bright moon that illuminates the night, and I am a shooting star that passed by unintentionally." Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed: "It is similar but different."
