Chapter 5444: No Good Death
Capital City.
Fires were blazing into the sky. On both sides of a street, two groups of people were standing, each with their hands filled with fire certificates.
Residents living on both sides of the street were hiding in their homes, and no one dared to show up.
On a night like this, two armies suddenly appeared on the streets. The residents of the capital were not afraid. Many people still remember the chaos that happened in the capital many years ago, with bloodshed and corpses everywhere. , they don’t want their family to become a pile of corpses lying on the ground.
"Ji Lianyin, have you made arrangements?" The speaker was a young man, riding on a black horse, with long hair and slightly raised eyes, rough and smart. He was the talker of the Li family. , Li Qingyan is of the same generation as Li Qingyuan, both are from the "green" generation.
"You are fine, how can I not be fine?" Ji Lianyin sneered.
Ji Lianyin has a thin figure and sunken cheeks, but this is not because he is malnourished, but because he is born like this. He is older than Li Qingyan.
"Li Qingyan, your personal guard is very special. You are a woman and you are wearing a black veil. Did you bring your concubine here?" Ji Lianyin continued to mock.
"It's none of your business what I do? You're not qualified enough to take care of your Ji family's affairs." Li Qingyan waved the long whip in his hand and snorted coldly.
"Okay, you two, stop arguing. This operation requires the sincere cooperation of the Li family and the Ji family. If you want to argue, let's talk about it after today."
At this moment, the person speaking was a woman, in her thirties. She was in her early teens, wearing a light blue robe, and looked ordinary. But after what she said, Li Qingyan and Ji Lianyin fell silent.
After a while, Li Qingyan approached the woman on horseback and said, "Master Cao, what are the specific arrangements for us? Are you waiting here all the time?"
Cao Zhiyan looked back. Li Qingyan, she was not used to Li Qingyan being too close, but she had no other expression, she just frowned unnoticeably.
"Don't worry, instructions will come soon." Cao Zhiyan said.
Li Qingyan took two steps back and deliberately glanced at Cao Zhiyan. The woman on horseback following him did not speak, but followed closely, only missing a horse's head.
No one on either side spoke, and they fell into silence.
After waiting for a while, a bird flew quickly from the sky and landed on Cao Zhiyan's arm.
Cao Zhiyan took a paper tube from the bird's paw and took out a note from it.
“The Lord has instructed us to rush to the palace now!” Cao Zhiyan’s face showed joy.
"Okay, let's set off!"
Li Qingyan waved the whip in his hand.
"Let's go, it's our turn to play." Ji Lianyin narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a weird smile.
The two gave orders, and the troops of the Li family and the Ji family, who had been waiting quietly behind them, began to move forward slowly. This time they went to the palace to do big things, even if they were Li Qingyan and Ji Lianyin. He has seen so much that he can't help but breathe heavier, and he holds the horse rope tightly with his palms.
After walking for a while, we saw that we were getting closer and closer to the palace.
At this moment, Li Qingyan suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward. Instead, he shouted towards Cao Zhiyan.
"Master Cao, do you think there is something wrong with our horse?"
"What's wrong with your horse?" Cao Zhiyan also stopped and turned the horse's head, Looking towards Li Qingyan.
"Master Cao, look at this horse. It's sweating all over and its legs are trembling. What's going on..."
"This horse is my beloved horse. Ah, I have been raising him for three years and I have feelings for him. I heard that Mr. Cao’s horse-reading skills are unparalleled in the world. Can you give me a look?" Li Qingyan got off his horse and looked at Cao Zhiyan expectantly and pleadingly.
Cao Zhiyan frowned, but she never expected that such a change would happen at a critical moment.
However, taking a look at a horse is not an excessive request. She managed the horses in Fengtai and had already reached a very high level in the art of looking at horses.
Li Qingyan said that she was unparalleled in the art of horse-drawing. This was obviously an exaggeration, but she just loved hearing it.
“Just take a look.”
Cao Zhiyan got off his horse and walked towards Li Qingyan.
Walking to the side, she stretched out her palm and pressed it on the black horse. Sure enough, there were big beads of sweat on her palm. There was really something wrong with this horse.
"It may be a stomachache. What did you feed it before setting off?" Cao Zhiyan glanced sideways at Li Qingyan and asked.
"I don't know, Meng Niang, come here. What did you feed the black horse when you went out?" Li Qingyan waved to the masked woman sitting on the horse behind him.
The masked woman didn’t say anything, she just dismounted and walked over.
When he got close to Li Qingyan, something unexpected happened suddenly.
The masked woman's figure was like an electric light, and a dark red dagger in her hand had pierced Cao Zhiyan's body at an extremely fast speed.
"You, you!"
Cao Zhiyan cooed twice and only had time to say two words before he fell to the ground, black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
This dagger is actually soaked in poison!
"Li Qingyan, what do you want to do?" Ji Lianyin, who was not far away, was shocked and angry. He never expected such a change. How could such a thing happen?
Cao Zhiyan was assassinated in front of him. What should I do?
“Kill!”
Li Qingyan only shouted, then turned around and rushed towards Ji Lianyin. Because the distance was close, Ji Lianyin was in a dazed state again, and was immediately separated by Li Qingyan and the man. A masked woman approached.
The masked woman used a sword. The sword flashed like a dragon, flashing out a streak of light in the dark night.
Li Qingyan was using a long spear, which shot out like the wind and struck Ji Lianyin quickly.
“Save me!”
Ji Lianyin seemed to see death waving towards him. In this hurry, he had no way to deal with it.
We can only wait for the confidants behind him to come and save him. Logically speaking, the distance is not too far, and we should be able to rescue him in time.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his confidants were all slaughtered one by one by his cousin Ji Lianqi.
And in just such a delay, Li Qingyan's spear and the masked woman's sword both pierced his body.
“Why?” He spit out a mouthful of blood foam and shouted.
"Cousin, don't blame me, I only blame you for blocking my way. Only if you die can the Ji family have a chance for me to succeed!" Ji Lianqi held a long knife dripping with blood in his hand, with a sinister smile on his lips. Looking at Ji Lianyin.
"Ji Lianqi, you must die a good death!" Ji Lianyin spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted in grief and anger.
"What are you waiting for?" Li Qingyan glanced at Ji Lianqi and asked.
Ji Lianqi urged his horse forward, swung his knife, and chopped off Ji Lianyin's head.
