Chapter 211 Caught
Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and three others left the inn and went straight to Jili Khan's tent.

On a street corner not far away, several figures were looming, all dressed as masked foreigners, looking extremely mysterious.

"Follow them!" The leader lowered his voice but gave orders in fluent Chinese.

He waved his arm, and the rest of the people followed Di Renjie and his party silently like shadows.

After a while, Li Lang, Yang Fang, Ren Kuo and others appeared in two groups and quickly chased in the direction of Di Renjie.

In another dark alley, Xiaomei hid her body with her hands folded across her chest.

She quietly watched the waves of people coming out of the street, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

At this time, a subordinate quietly approached and asked in a low voice: "Snake Head, not one is missing, the Qianniu Guards brought by Di Renjie are all out! Should we follow?"

Xiaomei's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "You guys go and see what they are going to do. Leave a few people and continue to guard here with me."

The subordinates quickly agreed, and several snake spirit killers followed Li Lang and his men.

After a while, Zhang Huan changed into the clothes of an innkeeper and emerged from a high wall of the inn.

After looking around to see if there was anyone watching him outside the wall, he jumped out...
-
In front of the main gate of Jili Khan's tent was a long side street, the opposite side of which was crowded with shops and many small stalls, bustling with people.

After inquiring along the way for quite some time, they finally found the yamen. Li Yuanfang took the tiger-head flying eagle ring and went to negotiate with the guards of the yamen.

Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and Ruyan found a grocery store, asked for some water to drink and take a rest.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of this grocery store is quite strong, only slightly shorter than Di Renjie.

Zhao Ji looked around the surrounding scenery and said with emotion: "The scenery of the Turks is really different from that of the Central Plains. There are so many miscellaneous shops around the tent of the Khan of a country."

Di Renjie picked up the tea bowl, shook his head and said with a smile: "How can the Stone Kingdom be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang? Although Jili Khan is the king of a country, his majesty and palace are certainly not comparable to those of the emperor."

Zhao Ji was still looking around and found that several figures in the west noticed his gaze and tried to hide themselves, but ended up being exposed.

"Sir, what I mean is that there are all kinds of people here, and there are many eyes watching us!" Zhao Ji whispered to Di Renjie.

Ruyan was shocked when she heard this, and looked around quickly, as if she also wanted to find those spies.

Upon seeing this, Di Renjie secretly winked at Zhao Ji and Ruyan, and Zhao Ji immediately understood.

Before Ruyan could react, Di Renjie and Zhao Ji had already stood up and walked into the grocery store, so she had to hurry up and follow them.

Li Yuanfang handed the ring to the captain of Jili Khan's guard and turned back to the grocery store where Di Renjie was.

Soon, four people, three men and one woman, ran out of the grocery store, wearing the clothes of Di Renjie and Zhao Ji.

As soon as these people went out, they turned their backs to the Snake Spirit subordinates who were following them and ran desperately in the opposite direction.

Suddenly, a hurried neighing of horses was heard at the end of the street. A team of horsemen came galloping and caught up with the four people in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Jing, the leader, whistled, and a large net fell from the sky amidst the dust and smoke, trapping the four people in the net.

Xiao Jing shouted sternly again, and the cavalry quickly changed direction. The four men, along with the huge net, were dragged by the war horses and galloped away. In a flash, they disappeared at the corner of the street and lost their trace.
-
At this moment, Jili Khan was sitting in his tent, staring at the map on the wall for a long time.

After a moment, he sighed heavily and turned around slowly, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. The captain of the guard walked in quickly and shouted respectfully: "Khan!"

Jili Khan raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed across his brows: "What's the matter?"

The captain of the guard handed over a small cloth bag in his hand: "There is someone outside the tent holding the Khan's ring and asking to see the Khan!"

Jili Khan took the cloth bag and untied it with trembling fingertips. It was indeed the tiger-head flying eagle ring.

His eyes widened instantly, his shock evident in his words.

"Where is he?" Jili Khan's voice trembled with excitement. The chief guard replied, "He is waiting outside the tent."

Jili Khan immediately stood up and said resolutely: "Let's go!"

Jili Khan personally led the team to meet them, but the front of the gate was empty and Di Renjie and others were nowhere to be seen.

Jili was stunned and turned to question the guard beside him: "Where is the person? Why is he gone?"

The guard looked confused: "He was indeed here just now!"

I asked the guard on duty: "Have you seen where he went?"

The guard on duty said, "After you went in, I saw that man walk into the grocery store opposite and call out three more people from the store. The four of them ran west together. Just now a cavalry came from the east, and after the cavalry passed by, the few people disappeared."

Jili Khan was horrified when he heard this: "Horse troops? Where did the horse troops come from?"

The guard said, "I don't know either. There were probably more than a dozen horses, and after they passed by, the three men disappeared!"

He immediately ordered the captain of the guards who was standing by: "Quickly gather a team of men and give chase with all your strength. Make sure to rescue those three people!"

The captain of the guards responded loudly and ran down.

Jili Khan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and took out the red cloth wrapped around the ring from his arms.

His hand suddenly stopped: there was a line of small characters written on the back of the red cloth!
At this time, Zhao Ji, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan had already climbed over the wall from the backyard of the grocery store and took another route back to the inn.

"Sir, now most of the pursuers have been led away. This is a good opportunity to meet Jili Khan." Zhao Ji said as he walked, seeming a little unwilling.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said confidently, "Don't worry, let's go back to the inn first. Yuan Fang left our address to Jili Khan, so we can wait for him to send someone to protect us in the tent. It will be safe."

Zhao Ji looked somewhat helpless, shook his head, and had to follow Di Renjie.

Several people hurried back to the inn. The door of the inn was open and there was no sound from inside.

"Boss, boss!" Zhao Ji walked in first, shouting loudly.

Li Yuanfang, Di Renjie and Ruyan followed in.

"Boss! Where is the person?" Zhao Ji shouted many times, but no one answered.

There was a stool placed in an inconspicuous place in the corridor. When Zhao Ji saw the stool, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was a secret signal.

He shouted again: "Zhang Huan? Zhang Huan!"

Li Yuanfang suddenly pulled out his chain knife and warned in a low voice: "Something is wrong!"

Zhao Ji also drew his sword, alerted his surroundings, and said in a low voice: "Sir, you and Ruyan stay outside first, Yuanfang and I will go in and take a look!"

As they spoke, Li Yuanfang and Zhao Ji each held a sword and walked silently towards Zhang Huan and their room.

The two opened each room one by one, but there was no one inside.

Li Yuanfang and Zhao Ji hurriedly ran outside and shouted, "Sir, Zhang Huan and Li Lang are gone!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang both stopped.

Li Yuanfang looked extremely ugly, he could not believe the scene in front of him: Ruyan was holding a dagger, across Di Renjie's neck, holding him hostage and slowly walked in.

Li Yuanfang's lips trembled slightly, and his shock was evident in his words.

He closed his eyes and said tremblingly: "It's really you!"
