Chapter 618 Carrier Pigeon
He was able to serve the Zhenbei Hou for so many years, and he could accompany the prince to Sui City and had his own tricks. He was alert as if he was the first to jump out of the carriage when it was hit on the street yesterday, and rode his follower's horse back to the Marquis' mansion first.
Later, I heard that there were bandits nearby that hurt the people and alarmed the government office. Zhou Jin made a special trip to the government office to inquire, and the answers he got were consistent with what he heard outside, but nothing unexpected happened.
Zhou Jin dared not make a conclusion whether this was an accident or intentional one, or even for the prince.
Zhou Jin has not been in and out with Chen Boyuan now. The prince is on duty, so he has his own business to do. Since he was hit that day, Zhou Jin has been a shrinking quail and stays in the mansion to plan.
At this moment, a "guzzling" sound came to the window. Zhou Jin, wearing a gray robe, hurriedly walked over, untied the iron ring from the pigeon's feet, took out a ball of paper from it, and a smile burst out from the corner of his mouth after seeing the contents on it. Finally, there was progress!
He would return the prayer and let it go. The pigeon flapped its wings and flew out not long. A hidden arrow pierced the sky and pierced the pigeon's body.
With a "thump", the carrier pigeon fell to the ground fiercely, and a black shadow quickly took it away, leaving only a pool of blood stains on the ground!
The reply message tied to the feet was taken off immediately. After seeing the contents on it, the paper ball was burned and no longer existed.
Zhou Jin was in a good mood. Chen Boyuan did not come back at night, and he did not wait for the little master in the mansion. He quietly left the Marquis' Mansion with a seven-member guard. If someone saw it, he would definitely question why the housekeeper in the mansion asked his personal guard to escort him personally?
It was late at night and everyone was quiet. Zhou Jin and seven people quickly left the main street and walked west of Sui City. When they beat the people, they saw that the carriage without any badges galloped on the sparsely populated streets. In a short while, they disappeared into their eyes.
Zhou Jin sat cross-legged in the carriage until the carriage drove into an alley. After getting off the carriage, he saw two red lanterns hanging at the door of the remote courtyard. He felt a little relieved and quickly stepped forward to pat the door.
This is his secret code with the guards of Zhenbei Prefecture. If two red lanterns are just hanging one, there will be something different in the house. Don’t go forward!
It was seen that the situation was as usual, and Zhou Jin came forward as usual, and when knocking on the door, three long, two short, two long, heavy as long, and light as short.
The knocking sound of the door outside the door fell, and a response came from inside. The difference was that it was two shorts, two longs and three shorts. When the response was correct, Zhou Jin felt even more relaxed. As soon as the door opened, he immediately got into the gap and saw that Lao Deng was coming to greet him.
Old Deng had to join Zhenbei Hou earlier than him, and was about the same age as him. He was a little older when he went to fight to kill the enemy. After being assigned to the personal guard, he was taking out for Zhenbei Hou and his son. When he saw him coming, Old Deng said in a hoarse voice: "Get in and talk."
Zhou Jin had the highest status among them, so he immediately walked forward and Old Deng and went over. If Zhou Jin turned around, he would definitely see a bloodline flowing out of Old Deng's palm, and blood was falling into the ground along the wound.
Zhou Jin walked into the hall with candlelight. As soon as he stepped in, he slammed behind him. The door had been closed from outside. At this moment, he was about to turn around. A low voice sounded: "Zhou Jin, a man of the earth?"
The sound sounded very strange. The first half sounded a very confident tone. The second half sounded like a question, but it was a strong sense of sarcasm. When Zhou Jin smelled the strong bloody smell in the hall, he raised his heart and looked over the sound.
The corpses were lying on the ground in the huge hall, and the blood on the ground had dried up. A team of men in black stood in the shadow of the corner with sharp blades in their hands, and their bodies were almost integrated with the shadow!
The man sitting among these people was not powerful, and half of the mask made people feel frightened. Zhou Jin would be stunned if he didn't know that the base had been settled. He was calculating his own result, and when he thought of Lao Deng just now, his heart was slightly cold.
"It doesn't matter Zhou Jin, it doesn't matter if Zhou Jin is rebelling from Fusheng Pavilion and surrendering to Zhenbei Hou. Zhenbei Hou wants to find a mine." The man wearing a mask seemed to be talking to himself, but his tone was inexplicably determined, and he could not deny it at all.
"When seeking the jade seal of the previous dynasty and using mines to support the army, Zhenbei Hou's mind became more and more wild." The man's eyes stared at Zhou Jin like an eagle and a falcon: "What chips are you holding to make Zhenbei Hou trust you so much?"
Zhou Jin was about to speak, and a sharp light from the candlelight stroked his neck. Before he could open his mouth, there was a bloodline between his neck. After the skin was opened, the blood did not flow across the body, but just overflowed slightly.
A knife was very skillful, not a throat-breaking, it was just a small hit, but the fear that came over that moment was real. Zhou Jin could feel the soreness and weakness of his legs, and the fear was getting heavier and heavier in this closed space!
With a whoosh, the knife in the man in black had returned to the sheath, and the man in masked voice sounded softly: "The next knife will be more than that. Whether you are Zhou Jin or Zhou Jin, you will only have this chance to tell the truth."
Zhou Jin's breathing was about to stop. The pigeons and pigeons were released by Lao Deng. I guess this place had fallen by then. The other party explored and destroyed one of their strongholds in such a short time.
He wanted to make a look of his expression but was powerless. Everything went too smoothly after they arrived in Sui City. Even the matter of the eldest prince was done, and the prince stayed in Sui City smoothly. Their secret actions only encountered iron plates once.
That was the old ministers of the previous dynasty, but now another iron plate has appeared.
"There is another person outside, and you can only have one living mouth between you and that person." After the masked man said lightly, he waved his hand. When the blade came, Zhou Jin blurted out: "Stay someone under the knife!"
The masked man sang: "Then leave one."
After the words came, Lao Deng's scream came from the courtyard outside. Zhou Jin could clearly hear it, his throat was dry and he must have been gone!
Choosing one of two is just a matter of moment, and life and death are also determined in this moment!
Zhou Jin was sweating heavily on his back, and the man in the mask suddenly stood up and walked up to him. He did not hold any blades in his hands, but the mask was shining with a cold light. A pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts was enough to make people's hearts: "The right choice."
"Who are you... Why do you know that I am from Fusheng Pavilion?" In order to cover up your identity, Zhou Jin changed his name to a word: "I am the Marquis of Zhenbei. If I die, they will not be kind..."
