Chapter 203 A fish slipped through the net
The moonlight was thin, but it was enough to illuminate the cold light flashing from the sharp blades of those purple-clad killers.

"Humph, there is an ambush as expected." As soon as Zhao Ji landed on the ground, he immediately realized that there was an ambush.

He snorted coldly, but did not stop. Instead, he used the force in the air and shuttled between the killers like a ghost. The sword flashed like lightning, and every swing was accompanied by the fall of the enemy.

In just a few breaths, several purple-clad killers were all killed.

However, the man in black took advantage of this gap and slipped into the house.

The moment he entered the room, the door slammed shut with a bang. It seemed that there was some mechanism or trap.

Zhao Ji stood in the yard, holding a long sword across his chest. A few strands of undried red blood were still hanging on the tip of the sword, dripping slowly.

After hesitating for a moment, he did not chase after him immediately because he clearly felt that there was more than one person in the room.

So, Zhao Ji lowered his head, glanced at the bodies of the purple-clothed men lying on the ground, and he had a plan in mind.

He suddenly kicked one of the corpses, like a football, and kicked it hard towards the seemingly ordinary wooden door.

The corpse carried such powerful force that it instantly smashed the wooden door into pieces, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Suddenly, a burst of white smoke gushed out from the wooden door, and then many hidden weapons were fired from all directions, poisoning the corpse again.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ji moved slightly, quickly retreated to a safe distance, and waited for the smoke to dissipate.

When the smoke finally dissipated, he slowly took a step and walked into the house.

The moment he stepped into the room, the air seemed to freeze. Then, a loud shout like thunder exploded from above his head, causing dust to rise all around him.

An assassin dressed exactly like the man in black suddenly jumped out from a great height, the long knife in his hand flashing with a cold light, pointing directly at Zhao Ji's vital points.

However, Zhao had already seen the opportunity before he moved.

His eyes were as fast as lightning, staring straight ahead without even raising his head. Relying solely on his senses, his sword had transformed into a silver lightning bolt, piercing the black-clothed man's chest accurately from bottom to top.

A look of disbelief and astonishment flashed across the black-clothed man's eyes, and then a stream of blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. The long knife in his hand fell weakly to the ground with a crisp sound.

As Zhao Ji retracted his sword, the body of the man in black fell heavily to the ground from mid-air, raising a cloud of dust.

He leaned over and removed the black scarf that covered the man's face, revealing a rather ugly face. Then, looking at his height and skills, he did not seem to be the man he had just been chasing.

Then, his gaze turned to the other side of the room, where a window was open and the night wind was blowing through the hall. It was obvious that the real owner had escaped from here.

However, Zhao Ji did not show any frustration. He had already recognized the identity of the man in black. It was the fake Di Chun.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was safe and sound, Shen Tao quickly jumped off his horse, clasped his fists in salute, and said with a guilty look on his face: "General, I am late and frightened you."

Zhao Ji smiled indifferently and waved his hand gently, indicating that it was okay.

Then, he turned his gaze to the courtyard not far away and instructed Shen Tao: "Go search and see if there is anything valuable."

"Yes, follow me." Shen Tao waved his hand and left with a large group of soldiers.

Zhao Ji mounted Shen Tao's horse and headed towards the Pingzhou prison.

A moment later, before Zhao Ji returned to the prison, Li Yuanfang had already arrived and was in control of the situation.

Li Yuanfang and his men had taken away the weapons of the soldiers under Deputy General Sha and put them under control. "Chengyuan, are you okay?" Li Yuanfang rode up to them from a distance.

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "It's okay, just a few minions, I just let that guy escape."

The two men dismounted together. Li Yuanfang didn't care at all and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have caught a fish that slipped through the net."

"Oh? What do you mean by a fish that slipped through the net?" Zhao Ji was quite puzzled and didn't understand what Li Yuanfang meant.

"It's Song Wuji," Li Yuanfang waved behind him and shouted, "Bring him up!"

Then, two Qianniu Guards pushed Song Wuji to Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang explained: "Before the archer released his arrow, this guy secretly used another person to block himself and luckily survived. Then he hid in the pile of dead bodies and pretended to be dead. The Qianniu Guards just cleaned up the bodies and pulled him out."

Song Wuji knelt on the ground, his face full of the desire to survive: "General Zhao, I heard everything you said just now, I am willing to confess. I will tell you everything I know. Please leave me a way to live!"

When Zhao Ji saw this, his face suddenly turned grim. At that time, his attention was completely on Su Honghui, and he really didn't notice that this guy had survived.

In the original drama, Li Yuanfang flew to block the arrow for his brother Li Kaigu, but this guy used his brother to block the arrow for himself.

"If you want to live, then you have to see if what you say is valuable enough." Zhao Ji said coldly.

When Song Wuji heard this, he became extremely anxious and immediately began to tell the truth.

And in the dark corner, all of this fell into the eyes of a black shadow, it was Ruyan.

The timeline goes back to the moment when Zhao Ji persuaded Deputy General Sha to surrender. The speaker had his own intention and the listener had his own intention, but they didn't know that there was another listener besides the listener.

These words also fell into Ruyan's ears. She had also been hiding nearby a long time ago.

Now that Song Wuji is about to betray the organization's secrets, Ruyan should take action and silence Song Wuji just like Shadow silenced Deputy General Sha.

But Ruyan's heart was now a mess. Her eyes were fixed on Li Yuanfang, and Zhao Ji's words seemed to echo in her ears.

"Just think about how cold-blooded and ruthless the master behind you is... Is such an organization worth working for?"

Ruyan's breathing became rapid and unstable. She stared at Li Yuanfang's determined figure. Her heart seemed to be touched by some force, and fragments of memory flashed in her mind.

Finally, she made a decision, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around resolutely and disappeared quietly into the night.

Zhao Ji seemed to have caught some subtle signs. He turned his head involuntarily to look in the direction where Ruyan left, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chengyuan, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, pointed to an imperceptible corner in the darkness, and said, "I felt like there was some movement over there just now."

Li Yuanfang immediately jumped to the direction Zhao Ji pointed, checked left and right, shook his head and said, "No one is there."

Zhao Ji also followed, looked around, and found nothing, so he said helplessly: "Maybe I was wrong."

"Forget it. Now is not the time to dwell on these things." Li Yuanfang retracted his gaze and said firmly, "Since Song Wuji is willing to speak, we should take him to see the adults immediately to avoid any more troubles."

"Well, things have come to a conclusion now." Zhao Ji nodded.
