Chapter 27： , the first New Year’s Eve is extraordinary

"Brother, as you expected, many killers disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked into the city. I guarded the door and arrested no less than twenty suspicious people. Fifteen of them had the same kind of tattoos on their arms." Ji Linfeng said with excitement.

“Also, I saw that the third prince has been sitting on the second floor of Zuixiang Tower these past few days.”

“Did I find you?” Ji Yushu’s eyebrows were filled with worry.

Ji Linfeng poured himself a glass of water. After drinking it in a big gulp, he chuckled and said, "I'm doing a routine inspection, so what if I see it? Three days ago, the news was released to strengthen security control in the city in order to fear that something would go wrong in the city. "

“Brother, we have almost caught the assassin. Do you think the third prince will give up the operation?”

Ji Yushu lowered his eyes and said in silence for a moment: "Probably not. It has been two years since the last assassination. If I were me, I would not stop because of the change in the number of people. Maybe the number of killers is beyond our imagination."

“Also, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the third prince, these people were released afterwards.”

Ji Linfeng nodded. For this night, he had not slept for two days. Thinking that he had caught those assassins, he felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Sure enough, after confessing to his elder brother, he felt that he was much more useful.

I have to admit that my eldest brother is much smarter than him.

Ji Yushu signaled Ji Linfeng to push him towards Wutong Courtyard.

When the two of them arrived, the dinner was being served.

It was just an ordinary family banquet, and the table was not as rich as the full moon banquet. In addition to the main table, there are five tables of servants and nursing staff.

Mrs. Ji lowered her eyes and glanced at the girl in her arms. She seemed to be too worried, her little brows were furrowed tightly, as if her toes were nervous.

【Today is New Year's Eve, why is my heart so unsettled? 】

I always feel like something terrible is going to happen tonight.

The plot has collapsed several times, and this feeling really makes her feel panicked.

At this time, the third prince was already waiting at Zuixiang Tower. When the prince appeared, he would break the cup in his hand and signal the lantern shopkeeper to do it. 】

After hearing this, Ji Linfeng instantly realized that the third prince only threw the cup after seeing the prince. As long as he stopped the prince halfway, he would probably be fine.

In addition, he has already arrested a dozen people, so he probably doesn’t have much help except the shopkeeper.

Ji Linfeng thought happily, and the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

【There were more assassins this time than the time when I assassinated my elder brother two years ago, a total of forty people. 】

"Pfft" Ji Linfeng couldn't take a sip of the wine and choked and it flowed out of his nose.

【Oh, look at how stupid the second brother is. He is so old and still looks like a boy. 】

Ji Linfeng is about to cry but has no tears. In the heart of my little sister, is he so unbearable?

Ji Yushu seemed to have no intention of scolding him: "How old are you, and you are still so impetuous?"

Jihou Ye also reprimanded him: "Imit your brother, be calm and restrained." After that, he even kicked him.

Ji Linfeng was very aggrieved. In his opinion, his father liked to kick him, and he would kick him every time he didn't like him. It's just that the birth of his little sister recently gave him some face.

Mrs. Ji smoothed things over with a smile: "Okay, okay. Feng'er may be too happy and a little anxious."

Ji Linfeng smiled and put a piece of chicken into Mrs. Ji's bowl. Said: "My mother still loves me the most."

That deliberately soft movement was so funny. When he saw Lord Ji trying to lift his foot again, Ji Linfeng quickly took a step back. He was not afraid of death and even made a face at his father.

Ji Yushu ate his meal elegantly. Seeing this, he felt helpless and funny.

"You are sixteen, and you are still acting like this. I need to find you a wife to take good care of you." She didn't dare to mention the eldest son's marriage. Can the second son still run away?

【Ah, I suddenly remembered, tonight is the second brother's love affair? Speaking of which, that woman was the second brother's destined wife, and she was too kind to him. Unfortunately, life is also miserable. In the end, something happened to the Ji family, and they didn't even want a divorce letter, preferring to suffer the consequences. 】

Ji Linfeng:

Ji Houye, who originally didn't want Ji Linfeng to go out, heard that he was destined to do so, so he had to drive him out even if he was stabbed outside.

As soon as Mr. Ji finished his thoughts, he saw Ji Linfeng put down his chopsticks and said to Mrs. Ji with a smile: "Mom, the child is full. Now follow my elder brother to the shop to help."

After saying that, he pushed Ji Yushu and went out.

It was rare that Lord Ji did not scold him as disrespectful as before and said with concern: "Come back soon."

Ji Linfeng was startled, pursed his lips, and then replied: "Yes."

The shop is on another street, still some distance from Qingtian Street where the accident occurred. This is also the reason why Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji feel relieved to go out. 【Why is the second brother so buzzing? Could it be that his father suddenly cared about him and was moved? 】

The little sister is talking nonsense and telling the truth.

Ji Linfeng suddenly smiled again after walking far away, and heard Ji Yushu say: "Actually, dad has always cared about you, but he was not good at expressing it. Now, dad is changing. You can see it from his attitude towards mom."

“I know big brother, dad just hates me for being useless.” In fact, he still cares about him in his heart, he can feel it.

Ji Linfeng pushed Ji Yushu out, while Ji Hua fell asleep in Mrs. Ji's arms.

She would like to go out, but unfortunately her strength does not allow it.

Soon after the two left, Lord Ji nodded to Mrs. Ji and left. At the same time, he called away Yin Zheng and several other subordinates.

At the same time, Prince Xian’s Mansion.

"Father, Queen, the child has eaten enough and is going to bed." Bei Hengjin put down the bowl and chopsticks, yawned, and looked sleepy.

 King Xian and Princess Xian were a little surprised: "Aren't you going to Qingtian Street to guess the lanterns with your brother tonight?"

"I'm not going, I'm very sleepy tonight. It's not interesting to guess the lanterns every year." Bei Hengjin waved his hand and said with a mature look.

Princess Xian looked at her son helplessly. He has grown so big, so he only went there once last year, okay?

“Okay, you go to sleep.”

With the approval, Bei Hengjin jumped off the chair and walked to his yard accompanied by the maid.

The maid waited until the lights in the room went out before leaving.

Qingtian Street.

It was crowded and lively, with deafening firecrackers coming from time to time, each sound carrying a festive atmosphere.

Hunter stalls, lantern stalls, wine shops, candy man stalls, etc. Every stall was crowded with people watching the fun. There were constant cheers and applause.

Since the surrender of the North and the South, it has been such a grand event every year.

Ji Houye and others were standing at the street entrance in casual clothes. The grand scene not far away made several people’s eyes wet.

"General, this is all your credit. Without the general's wisdom and prowess, how could we have such an unprecedented grand occasion." Yin Zheng stood beside Lord Ji, feeling quite proud.

Ji Houye has not heard the word "general" for many years. When he heard it again, he felt as if he was still fighting on the battlefield.

"Yin Zheng, you are wrong. This is not my credit, but the credit of thousands of soldiers, whether they are dead or alive, they all contribute. Remember, as a general, the country should be the first Your duty is to have a country first and then a family.”

“I understand.” The four people behind him spoke together.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lord Ji saw the figure of Prince Bei Hengmo coming out of the palace. There were actually King Xian and Princess Xian accompanying them. In addition to these three people, there was another person following the prince. This person was covered in a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly. He was probably the prince's escort.

"Master Hou, do you want to take action?" Yin Zheng's slightly worried voice sounded.

Ji Houye was a little hesitant. He thought the prince was traveling alone, but he didn't expect there were four people. If you do it, you will be caught soon. After all, both the prince and the wise king have great skills.

But if the prince is not stopped, a stampede is likely to occur.

When Ji Houye was thinking about how to stop the prince, he caught a glimpse of four skinny beggars in the alley not far away. They were men, women, old and young, and they formed a family.

Ji Hou Ye glanced at the envoy Yin Zheng beside him. The latter understood instantly, and disappeared in a flash.

After a while, Yin Zheng came back and said in a low voice: "Master Marquis, it's done."

“Well done, we’ll protect you in secret.”

“Yes.” A group of four people hid in the darkness.

For fear of arousing each other's alertness, the four of them hid a little away. So I can't hear the conversation here.

“Brother Wen, the people of Shengyu have already lived and worked in peace and contentment. Look, there isn’t even a beggar on the street. It can be seen that”

"Please kindhearted people give me some food. We have been hungry for several days." Before the wise king finished speaking, four skinny beggars suddenly came out and knelt down at his feet.

Looking at the four beggars who suddenly appeared, the wise king was speechless. What did he say just now, and he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye?

The prince's first reaction was to draw his sword to protect the man in black behind him. (End of chapter)
