Keng!!
The blade fell on his chest, and there was only a thin layer of flesh and blood between the sword tip. When the impact still made him fly in mid-air, he landed on a tree branch. The arm-thick tree branch broke, and he held on to the upper part.
The branch flipped through the air and landed on the branch. Holding his chest injured by the sword energy, he raised his sword and pointed it at Ming Jin, who was rushing behind him not far away.
She retreated not because she couldn't kill him, but because the skinner below was aiming his crossbow at her.
The flying poisonous needle was just a short distance away from her head, but after Mingjin avoided the poisonous needle, the hidden weapon in her cuff also shot out the shuttle needle.
Peipei groaned, and immediately forced out the poisonous needle, but the poison had already entered his body.
"Xie Mingjin, I will remember the hurt I received today."
"Retreat!" The second senior brother gave the order, and the two of them quickly dodged into the forest.
Ming Jin knew better than to pursue the bad guys. After all, in order to avoid the Overwatch Council's eyes and ears, she came alone today and her people were not nearby.
But...she was a little unwilling.
After standing on the tree and thinking for a moment, Wang Jiu looked back to see a few afterimages. After landing, she picked up Lin Shu's skin with the tip of her sword and took a closer look at his head.
Guangling Valley is good at changing shapes. Such a method can not only be achieved with a human skin mask, there must be a secret technique.
Ming Jin looked carefully and found that there was a strange indentation behind the ear of the skinny head. She rubbed the remaining marks on the indentation with her fingers.
Slightly herbal secret flavor.
"Is this the secret art of disguise?" Ming Jin glanced at the bloody skin and heard the scent of wild beasts in the forest. He turned over the clothes with his sword and found a token inside.
The token of Guangling Valley?
However, it is different from the Guanglinggu disciple's token traced by previous spies, with different patterns.
It’s different because it’s the upper-level manager’s token?
He stroked the material of the token with his fingertips.
Thin, made of iron, but the tempering process is unusual, ancient, and very delicate.
Ming Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his feet a little bit.
An hour later, she met Tuoze at Jiangan Pier outside the capital.
"According to this pattern, it seems that from the events of the Blood Refining Sect and the Jiaocheng Arms Shop, the leader of a cult like Guangling Valley is not limited to the martial arts world. He should be involved in the smelting of ordnance. In recent years, the Great Wilderness' attacks have become more frequent.
The style of ordnance is very similar to that of Zhao State. The Dahuang mines are far inferior to Zhao State, and the weapons are inferior. It has been suppressed by Zhao State for hundreds of years. Now that we are counterattacking, there must be help from internal thieves... In addition to Guijia Mountain and
Outside the Jiaocheng Ordnance Shop, go and find out which area in Zhao State has the largest flow of blacksmiths, especially the craftsmen who understand this ancient gilding craft. Search for them secretly and do not expose them."
Tuo Ze agreed and accepted Ming Jin's rubbings, but saw that Ming Jin immediately showed no sign of leaving.
Because I didn’t let my subordinates arrange the itinerary.
"Is your lord about to enter the city?" He saw that she kept looking in the direction of the capital.
Ming Jin came back to his senses and said: "The capital city is no better than outside. There are many experts and many eyes and ears. Now that I enter, many people will take action."
After thinking about it, she wrote a secret letter and handed it to him, "Arrange for people around Mingdai to give this letter to her."
She gave Tuoze a deep look, and Tuoze understood.
——————
On a single day, a maid in the courtyard of Mingdai, the third room of Xie Zhai in the capital, received a secret letter. However, she did not give it to Mingdai, but to a boy from the outside. This boy went out for purchase, but passed through
A vendor in the market delivered the secret letter.
In less than an hour, this secret letter was in someone's hands.
At this time, this man was at Fengya Songlou, a famous gathering place for talented people in the capital.
In the room in the building, slender fingers with clear joints used a special secret method to open the sealed letter commonly used by aristocratic families. After taking out the letter inside, he read it for a while and smiled.
"I really love my sister so much. To be so detailed and cautious, I think Xie Mingjin has been poaching her for eight years."
The confidant on the side lowered his head and said: "This matter is extremely secret. The maid we inserted into Xie Mingjin's army hastily sent it. We still need your instructions, the Lord, to decide whether to give this letter to Xie Mingdai."
"Of course I will send it, but I have to give her another letter."
Then, this person actually copied another secret letter with almost the same handwriting, but the content of this secret letter was changed - telling Xie Mingdai that she had confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the village curtain, so that she could feel relieved.
Mi Xin returned the same way, but they didn't know that someone was watching from a distant pavilion.
Wearing a mask, Ming Jin leaned against the railing and watched the messenger leave. He was not in a hurry to stop him, but just glanced at the pavilion.
"Su Shenzhi." She whispered.
Then, the secret letter returned to Ming Dai's hands, and it was already night.
Ming Dai opened the secret letter in front of the maid. After reading it, she looked slightly relieved and said, "He is indeed fine. Thank you for your hard work. Go down and receive the reward."
"This slave was sent by the master to help the third girl. I dare not say that it is hard."
"She has her rules, and I have mine. It's okay, just go ahead."
"Thank you Miss San."
After the maid left, Ming Dai raised her eyebrows, and another personal maid next to her took out another secret letter.
"She said she was not sure whether Zhuang Kuan was real or not, but she told me to stay vigilant and control my interactions with him, especially not to contact him privately. But the person behind the scenes asked me to make sure that he was fine. Does that mean Zhuang Kuan really has a problem?
The problem? They are connected."
Although she really liked Zhuang Kuan, Ming Dai trusted Ming Jin more, and she didn't believe anyone until Ming Jin gave her a definite reply.
Especially since Funakami Mingjin was so cautious that time, and when Mingrong learned about the situation later when she returned to the capital, she reminded her again, how could Mingdai dare to act based on love.
This is the education that the Xie family girls have received since childhood.
Always maintain a high degree of trust in your own family.
There are all evil ways out there.
"The Lord's order has not come yet. The third girl has not seen this secret letter. Don't worry about it. This test is just to confirm that the man named Su is indeed paying attention to your affairs. Please be cautious.
.”
The people Ming Jin actually sent to Ming Dai were not only highly skilled in martial arts, rich in experience, but also very alert and cautious. Ming Dai could feel it after just one or two encounters with her.
It has to be said that a person who has been trained by the Shaozong since childhood is very similar to the head of the family in one aspect - her uncle can single-handedly create an absolutely loyal secret guard, and his daughter can also single-handedly create a powerful private soldier of her own.
Maybe the direct descendants of the Xie family have had this ability since they were young.
How could such a Xie family have problems? Generally speaking, as long as there are no problems within themselves, the Xie family will be fine.
Mingdai was both proud and emotional, but she still burned both letters.
It's not finished burning yet.
Another letter from Ming Jin arrived.
Ming Dai opened it and was surprised.
Because it said - Su Shenzhi knew that this maid had been seen through, and deliberately sent such a secret letter, but there was no need to try to figure out the meaning of his letter. She would make her own judgment and act as before, but there was one thing she had to control.
Contact with the Su family.
Mingdai burned the letter and looked out the window at the bright moon.
Su Shenzhi.
