Chapter 523: Snatching People at Midnight
Looking intently at the bottom, Jiang Youzhen spotted a black figure speeding towards the City God Temple.
Soon, the shadow stopped on the roof. Because he could see at night, Jiang Youzhen clearly saw a masked shadow picking up a tile and looking down. He lay on the roof without moving for a long time before he moved.
Jiang Youzhen saw the other party take out a bamboo tube hidden weapon with a blow needle and put it to his mouth. Just when she was about to raise her hidden sword to stop the other party, a figure flew over from the distance.
The man in black on the roof was very alert. He turned around and found that there was also a masked man.
The masked man who had just flown in didn't seem to expect that the man in black would discover him so quickly. The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
However, two breaths later, the man in black ignored him and turned around to continue blowing the needle. Jiang Youzhen could not tolerate him hurting innocent people, so he raised his hidden sword and shot him in the face.
The arrow was so ruthless that the man in black groaned and quickly covered his mouth. Jiang Youzhen found that his hands were shaking, which showed that he was in pain.
This person must be the assassin who had previously killed the princes. Jiang Youzhen believed that even if he didn't kill him, he probably wouldn't be able to get any secrets out of such a person.
But one has to give everything a try, and handing the person over to the Third Prince can be considered a meritorious service on her part.
The masked man who arrived later noticed something strange and immediately looked around.
Jiang Youzhen quickly swooped down from the tree branch like a roc spreading its wings. The man in black and the masked man immediately became alert.
Jiang Yi, who was lying below, was a light sleeper. When he heard some movement above, he picked up his sword and rushed out.
Jiang Youzhen didn't give anyone a chance to react, he drew his sword and rushed towards the man in black. The man in black also reacted very quickly, even though his mouth hurt terribly, he still fought back quickly, and his moves were fierce.
The masked man was confused for a moment. He thought for a while and simply stood aside to watch the fun.
"Hurry, catch the guy!" Jiang Yi had received Jiang Youzhen's order before he came, but when they saw the two men in black fighting each other, they were confused and didn't know which one was the assassin.
Originally Jiang Youzhen could have spoken out, but now there was another party whose power he didn't know, so he naturally couldn't speak and could only do it himself.
Fortunately, his internal strength was strong, and the opponent was defeated in just a few moves. Even though the opponent's moves were sharp and tricky, Jiang Youzhen's internal strength was too strong.
What does it mean to defeat ten skills with one force? This is it. The opponent retreated dozens of steps after just one palm strike from Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen rarely had the opportunity to practice martial arts except for fighting with the martial arts master who taught the young people. She originally wanted to take this man down quickly, but then she thought, since this was a rare opportunity, she might as well practice her moves.
Therefore, the masked man next to him saw a strange scene. Obviously, the thin man in black had strong internal strength and should have taken down the opponent long ago. But he dodged left and right, suppressed his internal strength, and fought with the opponent, as if he was practicing his moves on the opponent.
The masked man was speechless. He had previously thought that this thin man in black must be some kind of hermit and quite old, but now the other party acted like a naughty old man, and it seemed as if he was playing a trick on him.
Jiang Yi and his companions, holding their swords, didn't know which side to help for a moment, but after observing for a long time, they were also attracted by the fight and just focused on watching the moves.
After three rounds, Jiang Youzhen lost his patience. These elite warriors were nothing more than this.
Well! She was going to end this battle.
With one palm push, she shattered the opponent's leg bone. The man in black stumbled and fell to the ground. At this time, his body was covered with sword wounds of various sizes. His chest was in great pain, and he vomited blood. The black veil covering his face changed color.
The next moment, he fainted from the pain.
So weak? Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Youzhen, and there was an eerie silence at the scene.
Jiang Youzhen grabbed the man in black and was about to leave, but was intercepted by the remaining two parties.
"Wait! You can't take that person away."
The first person to intercept was Jiang Yi, who brought two disciples of the Jiang generation to block Jiang Youzhen.
"That's right! This man is a serious criminal of the court, you can't take him away."
Jiang Youzhen smiled secretly when he heard the familiar voice.
It turns out it's you, the second one. Even if you lower your voice, I can still recognize your voice.
But wasn't the Second Prince under house arrest? Why was he still secretly investigating the assassin?
Jiang Youzhen felt that he was wasting his time and energy, but this matter also concerned his life, so he probably couldn't sit still, right?
Ignoring them, Jiang Youzhen picked up the unconscious man in black and flew to the treetops. Before they could react, he disappeared from their sight.
"What are you still standing there for? Chase him!" The second prince gnashed his teeth in anger. He had finally found a clue, but when he chased him here, he was intercepted.
The second prince also used his lightness skills to catch up. Jiang Yi and the others rolled their eyes and asked, "Are we very familiar with you?"
"Why does this guy talk as if we are his people?" Despite his complaints, Jiang Yi still followed with the other two.
Jiang Youzhen's martial arts skills were already good, and with the help of his deep internal strength, even if he was carrying a person, he was as fast as an arrow, flying across the rooftops.
She did not return to her own house, but flew towards a luxurious five-story mansion in the north city.
"Your Highness! We checked about half of the residents today, but found nothing. Maybe the assassins have already left the city. After all, when they evacuated, the prefect had not brought people here, and there was no time to notify the military headquarters to seal off the entire city."
The Third Prince rubbed his brows and asked, "How is the Fourth Prince doing today? Is there any action?"
For him, finding the assassin is important, but not falling behind the fourth brother is more important.
This is a good opportunity to show off in front of his father. He has just been reprimanded by his father, so he must make a contribution.
"Reporting to His Highness, the Fourth Prince is currently checking the merchants passing by. Especially the caravans coming from far away, which are most likely to hide many people."
The Third Prince snorted coldly, "The Fourth Prince is indeed smart, he just likes to pick up good jobs. Household registration checks are time-consuming and tedious, and he is just checking the caravans, isn't it much easier than this palace?"
But there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to lose the bet with the fourth brother?
"There is no movement in the Second Prince's mansion today, right?" The Third Prince thought of the Second Prince. He knew this second brother a little. Even though he was confined by his father, he was definitely unwilling to accept it.
"According to the detectives from the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince was in a bad mood after returning home. He got drunk early in the morning and woke up in the evening.
Later, he felt bored and found a troupe to perform an opera. In the end, he hugged a beautiful woman and went to the inner courtyard. He has not come out until now. "
The one who replied was Commander Chen Jianshu, a man who was deeply trusted by the Fourth Prince and was capable of handling matters.
"Don't take it lightly. The second brother is no simple matter. Have someone keep a close eye on him and don't let him ruin our plans."
