accomplice

After he finished speaking, he tore off his entire face.

After this terrifying and strange face was peeled off, what was revealed was a pale and shriveled face.

High nose, thin lips, long pointed chin.

His slender and narrow eyes were fixed on Zuo Ji, shining with a cunning light.

Combined with this appearance and his unique figure, the whole one looks like an old monster.

"Master Zuo Ji, Lu Hui is here to pick you up."

He stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Li Xi walked in front of Zuo Ji and blocked him, saying: "If he was willing to help you, he would not have escaped with Zuo Ya in the first place."

This person ignored Li Xi at all.

Taking a few steps closer to them, he respectfully said to Zuo Ji: "Young Master Zuo Ji, Your Highness misses you, let me pick you up."

Your Highness?

Zuo Ya?

Who are they?

Zuo Ji was very puzzled, looked at Lu Hui, then at Li Xi, very at a loss.

"Is it because I didn't speak clearly enough, or do you not understand human speech at all?" Li Xi stared at Lu Hui and said, "He will not help you kill people, even if your Highness loves him so much, he will not see you." It must be able to withstand the 20 years of sibling love."

what?

Murder? !

Zuo Ji was surprised.

At the end, when he thought about it, he was taken aback again.

Did he hear something wrong just now?

He pointed at Li Xi, and finally asked him in a low voice: "That... who loves Ta (her/him) deeply... which Ta (she/him) is it?"

"You." Li Xi glanced at him lightly and said.

"Huh?!" Zuo Ji's jaw almost fell to the ground, he took a step back, shocked: "Isn't it?"

What kind of Highness is he having an affair with? !

Then he couldn't leave with this person.

If they meet each other, who knows what he will do to him!

He subconsciously hid behind Li Xi.

Seeing his reaction, Li Xi smiled slightly, only to hear Lu Hui say: "It's really fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, isn't our goal all Zuo Ya?"

As soon as he said that, the man's hand suddenly reached out.

Li Xi made a note of four or two strokes of a thousand catties, pushed his hand away, turned around quickly and kicked him.

The man shrank back, shifted shape and shadow, took advantage of the loophole, and stretched out his hand to grab Zuo Ji's shoulder. Zuo Ji was startled and took two steps back, just bumped into a stall selling bowls and chopsticks, and quickly grabbed the stall. chopsticks towards him.

He didn't expect Zuo Ji to resist, he grabbed Zuo Ji's attacking right hand, Zuo Ji's left hand quickly grabbed the chopsticks and stabbed him in the face, he countered, Zuo Ji loosened the strength on his right wrist, and immediately turned his wrist down Stabbing his arm, he was stunned, Zuo Ji swiped the chopsticks with his left hand, and a red mark immediately appeared on his neck.

He was angry, with murderous look in his eyes.

Li Xi came up to assist, but missed on the top of his knee, but immediately kicked him in the ribs and kicked him away.

Zuo Ji stared at the man in front of him in shock.

I saw that he pressed his right hand on the rib kicked by Li Xi, stood up staggeringly again, wiped the neck injured by Zuo Ji, and stared at Li Xi bitterly. The strength of one kick was too heavy, and the injury was not light.

Li Xi still wanted to go forward, but the man gave a cold smile and "whoosh" disappeared.

Li Xi looked around vigilantly, and relaxed after making sure that this person had really left.

"You broke the agreement between us." Li Xi turned around and said to Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji hadn't fully recovered from the fright.

Finally, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked Li Xi, "Who is that Highness?"

"Wouldn't it be strange for you to ask that?" Li Xi asked him back: "Can I know him better than you?"

"Me? No, I..."

"It seems that you guessed wrong."

Mo Jia suddenly appeared and interrupted Zuo Ji's words.

Zuo Ji turned his head in panic, Mo Jia glanced at him, and said to Li Xi, "The four men in black were not sent by him."

Li Xi smiled lightly, still noncommittal.

Seeing him like this, Mo Jia frowned slightly. At the end, seeing Zuo Ji staring at him, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What's your size!" Zuo Ji was dissatisfied and angrily said, "You've been here all this time, why didn't you help just now?"

"I didn't shoot because I wanted to see if he would kill you."

Hearing this, Zuo Ji opened his eyes and said "Oh!" He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him up.

Seeing him like this, Mo Jia thought it was funny: "Besides, our third master can handle an opponent like this with one hand, right?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xi. After hearing this, Li Xi also looked at him with cold and complicated eyes.

Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere became quite delicate, Zuo Ji observed the words and expressions, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go, stop discussing here, let's go back and talk if there is anything else, if we continue to stay here, I'm going to be scared to death."

Neither of them had a problem.

Zuo Ji quietly touched the blue gauze stuffed on his body.

Okay, still there.

He secretly tightened his grip.

Back in the mansion, Li Xi plunged into the study again.

Zuo Ji returned to the room, first swayed around with his hands behind his back, looked left and right, made sure it was safe, and then took out the blue gauze to continue researching.

There is no embroidery or embroidered characters on it.

But these scratches don't look natural and worn out, they look man-made, what's the meaning, Zuo Ji looked at it again and again, unable to figure it out.

What the man said today couldn't be more clear.

Everyone is looking for a person's whereabouts.

And only he knows where that person is.

He probably guessed why he committed suicide.

If there is no other reason, then this person died to protect that Zuo Ya.

but……

"It's not right, it's not going to die."

He thought about it deeply and found it illogical.

Because, the big deal is to leave.

Although the world is as big as the emperor's land, but in this era, there is no internet, no photos, no mobile phones, and no credit card records.

The point is, Zuo Ya hid very successfully.

If he stays with Zuo Ya all the time and doesn't come out to hang around, where is his life in danger?

Could it be that he ran out again because he was thinking about that highness?

Silly!

Zuo Ji immediately made such an evaluation.

Forget it, he felt thirsty, he wanted to drink water, got up with a "swoosh", and bumped into something with a "bang" on his back.

This person did not know when he came in, and stood behind him silently, and was bumped into by him suddenly, the stew pot on the tray in her hand shook, she quickly freed her hand to hold the stew pot, the soup in the stew pot spilled Some came out and wet her cuffs.

Zuo Ji was really taken aback by her.

I was plotted against by someone today, and I still haven't let go of my heart. This person in front of me simply added fuel to the fire. He was frightened and furious: "What's the matter with you?"

"Slave, damn it." The woman hastily bowed her head to salute him: "Slave didn't bump into you on purpose."

In Zuo Ji's eyes, it was not a question of who bumped into whom at all, but that she was standing behind him so silently, it was too scary.

Zuo Ji complained and glanced at her.

At the end, I suddenly felt that this person was unfamiliar, as if I had never seen him in the mansion.

I wanted to ask, but then I thought about it again, since I've been here for two days, it's normal if I haven't seen her before. He signaled that he was fine, and wanted to bypass her, but she blocked the way.

He was surprised: "What?"

"This is what the third master ordered to prepare for you, and this servant brought it to you."

"Li Xi?" Zuo Ji was suspicious, pointing at the stew pot: "This?"

"Yes." She replied.

Zuo Ji is a foodie.

There is nothing you don't want to see when you see something to eat.

Glancing at her suspiciously, he opened it and sniffed it, it seemed to be very fragrant.

Li Xi entertained him with delicious food again, so he was naturally elated.

"what happened?"

Zuo Ji was about to take the tray when he suddenly heard Mo Jia's voice.

Zuo Ji raised his head, and Mo Jia stepped in, smelling the aroma of the soup: "Why are you eating again before it's time for dinner?"

"Leave me alone."

Zuo Ji said: "Li Xi knew that I was frightened, so he asked someone to bring the stew to make up for me."

Mo Jia smiled: "I've never seen you love food so much before."

Zuo Ji picked up the spoon, picked up the stew pot and turned around, suddenly realized that what Mo Jia said was wrong.

How does he feel...

He wanted to turn around and ask, but Mo Jia had already disappeared.

before?

As if he knew him well before.

Without thinking too much, Zuo Ji sent the woman away.

Putting the stew pot on the table, he opened it carefully, smelling the strong aroma of the broth, his heart immediately soared.

He took a spoon to look through what was inside, wanted to drink the soup first, but the stew pot was a little hot, he held it up carefully, blew on the hot air, and was about to drink it, when suddenly someone swept it over with his hand, the stew pot fell to the ground and shattered, and he drank it I was empty and stayed on the spot.

"Did you not drink?" Li Xi, the culprit who swept away the stew pot, grabbed him. After asking nervously, seeing that he didn't respond, he said again: "Did you not drink?"

Zuo Ji looked at the mess on the ground, then looked at Li Xi, and at the end, he broke away from his hand and pointed angrily: "You..."

Seeing him like this, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end, Li Xi asked Mo Jia who followed in and squatted next to the debris: "How is it?"

After checking, Mo Jia replied, "You guessed it right, it is indeed poisonous."

what? !

Zuo Ji couldn't believe it.

Mo Jia said to him, "It's a good thing you didn't drink, and it's also a good thing I asked the third master too much, but he never asked anyone to bring you anything."

Knowing that he is greedy, so you use food to catch him? !

Zuo Ji suddenly realized, and was terrified.

"I didn't expect it to sneak into me."

Unusually, Li Xi's eyes were full of hostility: "Send an order to seal off the whole mansion, and all foreign servants come to the yard to see me!"

The servant outside the door folded his hands and took the order to go out.

Soon, many people gathered by the lotus pond in the yard.

There are not many foreign servants in the mansion, more than twenty.

There are fewer women, just five or six.

Zuo Ji looked back and forth, with his hands behind his back, circling around them again and again, but he didn't recognize them.

"Have you found it?" Li Xi asked.

He shook his head.

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the woman's appearance at that time.

The other party kept his head down, and his clothes were similar to those in front of him, so he just glanced at them and didn't take it seriously.

He turned to Mo Jia and asked, "Didn't you see her too?"

"She turned her back to me at the time, and I didn't see her face. In terms of height and shape, these people are about the same."

Zuo Ji frowned when he heard that, and asked Li Xi: "Don't you know how many servants your family employs? Don't you recognize the ones who sneaked in?"

"The nurses in Qinnanxuan are all our own people, and they are all arranged by Li's residence." Li Xi said: "The others are taken care of by themselves, so I need to ask where they are."

Right.

There is no need for Li Xi to look over all the temporary helpers like this.

Zuo Ji nodded.

He suddenly thought of something, and said to these people: "Stretch out your hands."

Everyone stood in a row and did the same.

He stepped forward and looked at the cuffs of these people one by one, and found that one of the women's cuffs had a slight oil stain, and immediately raised his eyes: "It's you!"

Her eyes sharpened, and she stretched out her hand to pinch Zuo Ji's throat.

Zuo Ji flashed nimbly, Mo Jia made a tacit attack, pinched her pulse, twisted her arm back and tripped her to the ground.

Kneeling on her waist and pressing her hands on her cervical spine, the movements were done in one go, Mo Jia said, "Man."

"Male?" Zuo Ji ran over to have a look, it really was.

The other party is still young, and it is just right to pretend to be an adult young woman with her current height and frame.

This person is not wordy, just gritted his teeth.

Startled, Mo Jia reached out to pinch his mouth, but it was too late, and the man stopped moving after black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Mo Jia got angry, let go of his hands and got up, and asked Li Xi: "How is it now?"

Li Xi shook his head: "Everyone is dead, it's useless."

Mo Jia also felt very sorry.

It is a rare opportunity to come to their door to solve their doubts.

Quite annoyed, he saw Zuo Ji beside him keeping his head down and waving at him constantly, he frowned and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"

Zuo Ji couldn't tell what happened to him.

Suddenly, dizzy, tongue tied, unable to speak.

Feeling that the scenery in front of him was twisting and twisting, his body softened and was supported by Li Xi in time.

Mo Jia was also frightened to see him like this.

"Didn't you say you didn't drink that soup just now?"

Li Xi asked him nervously, he wanted to explain that he really didn't drink, but he couldn't even respond with such a simple answer.

Feeling a hot stream rushing up his throat, he spit out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow", the blood kept pouring out, he covered his mouth and knelt there, the red and black blood seeped out from between his fingers , his eyes gradually dimmed, and the last thing he saw was Li Xi's panicked face...
