The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Jiang Peipei turned around and walked back, quickly giving Ji Xiang's instructions.

It may seem like they are trimming the team casually, but in fact, everyone is already on high alert.

At this time, Ouyang Qingfeng and Li Weiwei came back together.

"Princess, you are ours, Li Da and the others." Guard Li reported back.

"Go and tell them to stay put. No matter what happens here, tell them not to move!"

Guard Li was startled, "Princess..."

"Pass it over as I say."

Seeing Ji Xiang's serious expression, Ouyang Qingfeng couldn't help but listen attentively, "It's okay, it's just a dozen kids. I'll take people to clean them up later."

He signaled Guard Li to do as Ji Xiang said.

Guard Li had no choice but to hit his horse and head forward again.

As soon as Guard Li left, Ouyang Qingfeng looked towards the dense bushes on the hillside and said, "My hands and feet have been trapped for more than ten years. It's time for me to take some exercise."

As he spoke, the man jumped off his horse and flew towards the bushes halfway up the mountain.

"Keep alive!" Jixiang reminded quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, arrows flew down like raindrops.

Everyone immediately raised the shields and various iron objects they had prepared to cover themselves. All they heard was a clanging sound, but not a single scream.

Grandma Yu and Erya held a huge iron umbrella together and looked at the arrows falling to the ground one after another. They were so impressed by Ji Xiang that they fell to the ground.

"Princess, why did you think of using this to ward off arrows?" Nanny Yu was curious.

Ji Xiang smiled and said in his heart, can I tell you that I went to the Lu family's blacksmith shop to make this specially?

In order to prevent herself from encountering this situation on the road, she went to the Lu family blacksmith shop, which specialized in making ironware for the royal family.

Knowing that Jixiang was a member of Prince Ning, the head of the Lu family didn't ask any questions and just tried to fight according to the pattern drawn by Ji Xiang. However, the current umbrella was made after nine attempts by the head of the Lu family.

Although it is not as smooth, smooth, thin and beautiful as modern stainless steel, Jixiang is satisfied enough with the current effect.

Sitting behind the umbrella, watching Ouyang Qingfeng throw out the men in black from behind the bushes one by one like chopping vegetables, Ji Xiang felt extremely happy.

By the time Jiang Renhe, Jiang Peipei, Li Shiwei and others gathered around Jixiang, Ouyang Qingfeng had already cleaned up all the people on the hillside and came to Jixiang carrying one who was still breathing.

"Apprentice, here you go, you can have a good talk with him."

With that said, he threw the person at Jixiang's feet.

Ji Xiang motioned to Guard Li to look at the arm of the man in black.

Guard Li stepped forward and cut open the sleeves of the man in black with his sword, and found that there were no butterfly tattoos on either arm.

Guard Li shook his head at Jixiang.

"Who sent you here?" Jiang Peipei put her long sword against the neck of the man in black and asked.

The man in black turned his head to one side stubbornly, not wanting to say anything.

"What a loyal slave!" Jiang Peipei looked at Jixiang, "Cousin, what should I do with him?"

Ji Xiang walked up to the man in black and pulled off the mask from his face.

"Does anyone know him?"

Guard Li looked at it carefully and shook his head, "It doesn't look like someone from the palace."

"Let me take a look." Jiang Renhe, still in elegant attire, looked at the man carefully for a while.

"The man with the iron gate?"

The man was startled, and then quickly lowered his head, not wanting anyone to notice anything.

But his subtle expression had long been seen by Ji Xiang.

"What kind of organization is Iron Gate?" Ji Xiang looked at Jiang Renhe.

"An assassination gang in the world that specializes in killing people."

"Haha, an organization that specializes in killing people is so useless. It was taken care of by the senior alone!" Jiang Peipei looked at Ouyang Qingfeng and was about to ask, but she seemed to know who this person was.

"Senior is really powerful, one person is worth a hundred!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Qingfeng felt a little proud and raised his head high.

"Who sent you to ambush us, and who did they ask you to kill?" Ji Xiang asked, looking at the man in front of him.

The man still lowered his head and said nothing.

"If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude!" She pressed her sword against the man's neck.

Ji Xiang signaled Jiang Peipei not to be too anxious, "Let me ask."

Ji Xiang knelt down and touched the man's head with his hand, and the man raised his head in surprise.

"what are you going to do?!"

"Who sent you here?!" Ji Xiang asked calmly.

"No one, no one..." Suddenly the man's eyes became a little distracted, and his voice immediately became crisp and cheerful, "We were just ordered to kill a girl named Ji Xiang, and the rest of the matter is not clear."

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Renhe asked hurriedly, "Who ordered you?!"

"Our gang leader, Boss Tie!"

"name!"

"I don't know, I only know that we all call him Iron Boss!"

"how old?"

"More than thirty."

"where are you now?"

"I was in the capital the day before yesterday. I don't know where he is now. Our boss's whereabouts are unpredictable and he may be in a different place every day."

"Who did he meet in the capital?"

The man shook his head, "We are only responsible for completing the task, we don't know any of this anymore."

Jiang Renhe looked at Jixiang and motioned for her to continue asking.

"When you were in the capital, where did you live and how many people were there in total?" Jixiang asked next.

"We..." Before the man could finish his words, he was suddenly hit in the throat by a dart and could no longer make a sound!

"Who is it?" Jiang Renhe and Jiang Peipei ran in the direction of the dart in unison.

Ouyang Qingfeng and Li Weiwei quickly protected Ji Xiang behind them and looked around cautiously.

But there was no more ripples around.

The man fell to the ground.

Jixiang quickly checked and found that the person was no longer breathing.

The dagger is poisonous!

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Jiang Renhe and Jiang Peipei were chasing them, and saw that Jiang Renhe and Jiang Peipei found nothing.

Jiang Peipei turned around and shook her head.

"Guard Li, check this iron door immediately."

"Yes," Guard Li responded, signaling Ouyang Qingfeng to protect the princess, then he got on his horse and ran towards the way he came.

Erya and Nanny Yu had just come out from under the iron umbrella at this time.

"Miss, these people are different from the people we met when we came here."

Jixiang was stunned and asked, "Why is it different?"

Erya frowned, "These people are all blacksmiths."

Everyone was a little confused.

"Erya, how do you know they are all blacksmiths?"

Erya came to the man's side carefully and said, "Miss, you can look at his hands."

Jixiang grabbed the man's hand, turned it over and looked at it. Sure enough, there were thick calluses, which were obviously caused by holding the stick hard for many years.

However, it is not certain that this is the person who swung the hammer.

"These thick calluses may also be caused by farm work." Ouyang Qingfeng said.

"No, my father has forged iron before, and his hands are like this. Moreover, he always smells of rust."

Now Jixiang understood, Erya was sure that these people were blacksmiths, mainly because of the smell of these people.

Yes, there is indeed a rusty smell on the man's body. Although it is not strong, you can really smell it if you smell it carefully.

Ouyang Qingfeng quickly walked towards the men in black who were thrown to death by him and smelled them one by one. They all smelled like rust.

"Are these people related to the blacksmith shop?!" Jixiang frowned.

During the time of the real and fake Tiger Brand, the old man of the Lu family and the old man of the Men family who specialized in making ironware for the royal family disappeared. Are these people still related to them?

Jixiang suddenly felt that his trip south was going to be really uneventful.
