After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The carriage soon arrived at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Jiang Ci Jin came out to greet him.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Ci Jin knelt in greeting.

"No need to be polite. Yuyao is not feeling well and has gone back first, so I will send the county lady back."

In front of Jiang Ci Jin, Xiao Yujing didn't dare to call her "Li'er" presumptuously.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Yujing nodded and looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Let's go back."

Jiang Ruoli got off the carriage, looking back every few steps.

His eyes were full of questions.

Is it really okay?

Fuping wouldn't let anything slip, right?

Xiao Yujing smiled at her gently, indicating that she was fine.

Jiang Ruoli felt relieved and followed Jiang Ci Jin into the house.

"Okay, stop looking. Are you so reluctant to let go?" Jiang Ci Jin joked.

Jiang Ruoli came back to her senses.

"Third brother, what are you talking about!"

"But Third Brother, I ate a really big melon tonight, you won't believe it!"

"What melon?" Jiang Ci Jin wondered.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the front hall.

When Jiang Ruoli saw that all the Jiang family members were there, she told them everything that happened on the houseboat that night.

However, the fact that Princess Yuyao called him "Xiaoguan" was omitted, and it was only said that they met Marquis Boyuan's family.

After saying that, Jiang Ruoli secretly glanced at Fuping and found that he was still standing there with an expressionless face.

It seems that Eunuch Wu has already reminded him.

Jiang Ruoli was completely relieved.

Hearing that Jiang Ruoli was almost stabbed by Shen Miaoqing, Mrs. Jiang nervously pulled her up and looked left and right.

After confirming that Jiang Ruoli was not hurt, Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but complain.

"This daughter of the Shen family is really... I'm going to settle accounts with them!"

"Don't worry, mother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already detained Shen Miaoqing." Jiang Ruoli consoled.

"That won't do either. She must be severely punished. I will go to see the Queen tomorrow."

Duke Jiang nodded and agreed very much.

"This Marquis Boyuan actually dared to let someone else's son impersonate the crown prince. This is already a crime of deceiving the emperor. Tomorrow my father will severely report him in the court!"

Jiang Cijin also threatened to beat Shen Sijie up.

Looking at the family who wanted to "avenge" her, Jiang Ruoli felt moved again.

Although they are all paper people in the book.

But in her heart, she couldn't let go of this family anymore...

After returning to the room, Jiang Ruoli had not yet recovered from her surging emotions when she saw Fuguo's indescribable expression.

"Fuguo, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ruoli asked puzzledly.

Why do you look constipated?

“Miss… do you feel anything…” Fuguo stammered.

"What does it feel like?"

Fu Guo's heart was made up.

"I feel that the Crown Prince's eyes are looking at Miss in a very unusual way!"

Jiang Ruoli's heart skipped a beat.

"Why... unusual?"

"Just, that look..." Fuguo said worriedly, "That look, it feels like he wants to eat the young lady, I'm scared just looking at it!"

what?

Have it?

Jiang Ruoli was shocked.

No way...

"Miss, I am always very scared every time I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We won't offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?!" Fuguo was very frightened.

Jiang Ruoli began to think.

Could it be that he was unhappy because he got into trouble today when he went out with Princess Yuyao?

No wonder he asked me to stay away from the princess today. It turned out that he was worried that I would lead the princess astray.

It's just a small official position, but you're so angry about it.

Tsk, you’re so petty.

It’s better to stay away from him in the future.

Jiang Ruoli made a silent decision in her heart.

Xiao Yujing didn't know that a little maid secretly "stabbed" him in the back where he had never noticed...

At this time, the streets of Kyoto are dim.

It's late at night and everything is silent.

A sound of orderly footsteps came from a distance.

Jiang Ci'an brought a group of people to the dark alley.

He just received news that the Beixin Kingdom spy who appeared in Kyoto a few days ago appeared again tonight.

He rushed over with his men, but was told by his subordinates that the spy had been lost.

Jiang Ci'an was annoyed.

This Beixin Kingdom spy has appeared in Kyoto twice, and he escaped both times.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard the sound of weapons clashing coming from the alley ahead.

"Let's go! Go over there!"

Jiang Ci'an ran over quickly.

When he arrived, he saw a man in night clothes lying on the ground.

Another black figure quickly flew onto the roof.

"Who is it! Stop!"

The subordinates around him were about to chase after him, but Jiang Ci'an stopped them with his hand.

"Forget it, you can't catch up with him."

Jiang Ci'an watched the figure quickly disappear into the darkness.

This man's martial arts skills are very strong.

Jiang Ci'an withdrew his gaze and looked at the man lying on the ground.

I reached out to touch the man's neck, but I could no longer feel any pulse.

And into his weak hands, someone stuffed a small gardenia.

The strong smell of blood overwhelmed the fragrance of gardenia.

Jiang Ci'an and his subordinates checked the wounds on the body.

There were not many wounds on his body, only one obvious fatal wound on the neck, with blood gushing out. It was obvious that he was killed by a sword.

The subordinates pulled the mask off the man's face.

I saw a word "Xin" tattooed on the man's face.

"General, it's a spy from the Northern Xin Kingdom!"

Jiang Ci'an frowned.

"Search."

The subordinates received the order and searched the spy's body.

"General, I found this!"

The subordinate handed a folded note to Jiang Ci'an.

Jiang Ci'an opened the note.

There is only one character "寅" written on it.

寅？

Yin hour?

Which day is the Yin hour?

Jiang Ci'an stared at the note closely.

"Go check which store sells this paper." Jiang Ci'an ordered.

There are strict grade standards for the use of Dacheng paper. This paper feels very rough, but it looks like the paper that ordinary people would use.

"Yes, General."

Jiang Ci'an looked at the corpse in front of him and reached out to take the gardenia from his hand.

Gardenias are pure white, and their fragrance becomes stronger when you get closer.

Only one small petal was stained with a drop of red blood.

This gardenia is different from other gardenias.

The center of its flower is blue.

The subordinates looked at the gardenia in Jiang Ci'an's hand.

"This is...Xuanying Sect?!" the subordinates said in surprise.

Xuanying Sect, the largest shadow sect in the world.

They are not subject to the control of any country or state and have formed their own faction in the world.

The Xuanying Sect is entrenched in the westernmost Xuanhuang Mountain all year round. The mountain is surrounded by fog all year round and outsiders cannot enter at all. Those gangs who want to provoke them have died at the first step up the mountain.

The Xuanying Sect does not do good things, it only kills people.

If you have an enemy that you cannot kill, you can come to the foot of Xuanhuang Mountain and bring a commission to hire someone.

But Xuanyingmen does not accept all orders. If you want them to take action, two conditions must be met.

First, the employer must provide enough money.

There is no specific amount of money, the only requirement is that it must be all the employer's property.

As long as you are willing to give up all your wealth, even if you are just an ordinary citizen, Xuanyingmen will go thousands of miles to help you kill people.

Second, the reason for killing must be interesting.

Whether it is interesting or not depends on the mood of the host on that day.

Even so, there are still many dignitaries who travel thousands of miles to hire killers from Xuanyingmen.

As for the Xuanying Sect, they never consider who is right or wrong. They just follow whoever pays first.

Therefore, people often say that the fog surrounding Xuanhuang Mountain is the wronged souls of those innocent people killed by the Xuanying Sect.

Every time after killing someone, the Xuanying Sect would place a gardenia with a blue center in the dead person's hand.

Some people say that all the people in Xuanying Sect are women.

Some people also say that the people of Xuanying Sect are androgynous and are not normal people.

But no one has ever actually seen anyone from the Xuanying Sect.

Even those who died could only smell the rich scent of gardenia before they died.

Jiang Ci'an clenched the gardenia in his hand and looked in the direction where the man had just left.

Who would hire the Xuanying Sect to assassinate the Beixin Kingdom's spies?

Could it be that besides Dacheng, other countries have also taken action?

There was a dark look in Jiang Ci'an's eyes.
