Chapter 214 Happy Reunion

Seeing Li Yuanfang and Xiaomei being affectionate, Xiao Qingfang broke down for the third time: "Xiaomei, you come on too, kill Di Renjie first!"

Although she was angry, Xiao Qingfang still knew what was important and what was not.

Xiaomei glanced at Zhao Ji lightly after hearing this, with a sly look in her eyes, as if they were communicating silently.

Zhao Ji also smiled faintly, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of Di Renjie: "Sir, they are coming for you."

"It's okay." Di Renjie trusted Zhao Ji very much. He recalled the scene in the earthen kiln.

Xiaomei's attack came in an instant, and the two scimitars danced like flowers, stabbing at the vital points all over Zhao Jishun's body.

Zhao Ji put one hand behind his back, holding a short dagger, and calmly parried the attack without panicking or retreating a single step.

They have been practicing martial arts together since they were young, and their understanding of each other is deep in their bones. They know every subtle movement and every breathing rhythm of each other.

Attack and defense, every move and every response have been repeated hundreds and thousands of times, just like a choreographed dance in advance.

Because the two of them were familiar with each other and had a great understanding of each other, they were not worried about hurting each other, so their movements were extremely fast.

In the eyes of Xiao Qingfang and Di Renjie, there were only a bunch of afterimages entangled together, and then the sounds of weapons clashing and clanging, which was extremely dangerous.

In the middle of the room, facing the endless siege of the Snake Spirit Killer, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan fought side by side. Their cooperation was seamless, making it difficult for those killers to find a chance of winning even though they were numerous. Almost no one could survive a single move from them.

Xiao Qingfang was becoming more and more frightened as she watched from the outside. Xiaomei had failed to get what she wanted, and she was already thinking of backing out.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from outside the Hanyi Hall, like the beat of a death drum.

Xiao Qingfang's expression changed, and he sent the guards around him forward, shouting, "All of you, come on!"

Then the most elite guards around Xiao Qingfang also rushed towards Li Yuanfang and Ruyan.

However, Xiao Qingfang took advantage of the chaos to quietly evacuate and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xiaomei also heard the sound of horse hooves and quickly flew away, while Zhao Ji remained with Di Renjie.

As the leader retreated, the morale of the remaining killers plummeted and they scattered like birds and beasts, no longer wanting to fight.

Li Yuanfang quickly cleared the battlefield, and just as he was about to chase the fleeing Xiaomei, Ruyan grabbed his clothes.

"Yuanfang, don't!" Ruyan looked at Li Yuanfang with a hint of pleading.

Li Yuanfang looked at Ruyan in surprise, and was stunned for a moment, and failed to chase after her in time.

At this time, the shouts of the Turks were finally heard outside the house. Zhang Huan, led by Jili Khan's guards, surrounded the scattered Snake Spirit killers.

Jili Khan, surrounded by his guards, ran into the courtyard at high speed, looking around anxiously, calling out anxiously, "Where is Di Gong? Has anyone seen Di Gong?"

In the room, Di Renjie heard Jili Khan's shout, and hurried out, responding loudly: "Your Majesty, I'm here!"

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan also heard the sound and hurried to chase Di Renjie out.

Zhao Ji stopped the two with a smile: "The overall situation has been decided now, you two should stop worrying about everything and have a good chat now."

Having said that, Zhao Ji actually ran out and closed the door before leaving.

Outside the door, Ji Li had already met Di Renjie. He stepped forward, held Di Renjie's hand, and called out emotionally, "Di Gong!"

Di Renjie hurriedly saluted.

Jili Khan quickly supported him and said, "Di Gong, there is no need to be so polite."

Di Renjie's voice trembled with excitement: "After so many years, I am fortunate to see His Majesty the Khan again!"

Jili Khan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay!" Zhao Ji came late and walked up to the two of them: "Your Majesty Khan, are you okay?"

When Jili Khan saw Zhao Ji again, he was in a good mood: "Oh, General Zhao! You are here too. Is General Li here too?"

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this and replied, "General Li has some personal matters to attend to. He will come to see the Khan later."

As the three men were talking, the battle was nearing its end. The remaining snake spirits and monkey killers all laid down their weapons and surrendered, and were escorted out of the yard by the Turkic guards.

The captain of Jili Khan's guards and Zhang Huan came to report: "Khan, Di Gong, all the snake killers have been eliminated."

Di Renjie asked quickly, "Where is Xiao Qingfang? She is a female bandit leader in her thirties, wearing a white robe, and accompanied by a younger female assassin!"

Zhang Huan was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems there is no such person."

Zhao Ji was not surprised, and said in a deep voice: "There should be a secret passage or something like that here. Xiao Qingfang and his men escaped through the secret passage!"

Upon hearing this, Jili Khan immediately ordered: "Search! Dig three feet deep to find the secret passage!"

The captain of the guard quickly agreed and led the guard to search Han Yi Hall.

While the guards were searching, Zhao Ji asked Jili Khan, "Your Majesty, how have you investigated the eagle division that attacked our army in Xi territory?"

Jili Khan frowned and said, "I have searched all over the country for this matter and found nothing. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "That is absolutely impossible. The troops that fought against the Turkish Eagle Division were my own troops. I can't possibly be wrong."

"Besides, when my lord and I rushed to the Stone Kingdom, we specifically inquired about it. The general who led the Eagle Division near the border between the Turks and the Xi people was named Harile."

Jili Khan gasped: "Hariel?! But I sent General Daleha to investigate him, and everything turned out to be normal. Daleha would not lie to me!"

Di Renjie asked a question: "Your Majesty, what is the relationship between this Harile and your son Mochuo?"

Jili Khan understood a little after hearing this: "Mochu? Harile's sister married Mochu! Hiss, is it really Mochu?"

Di Renjie added: "Khan, you know that this Hanyi Hall under our feet is the base camp of the rebels who instigated the Khitan rebellion. And this base camp is said to be funded by His Highness Mochuo."

Jili Khan thought about everything that happened before and now he is almost 90% convinced: "Yes, I know about this."

"Is the great general Daleha you mentioned here? Can you please see him?" Zhao Ji asked again indirectly.

Jili Khan had completely understood what was going on. He turned around and ordered the guards, "Return to the tent immediately and bring the patrol captain who came back from the Harile Eagle Division the day before yesterday!"

The messenger left immediately.

Jili Khan's words were incoherent. Di Renjie was about to ask more questions when he heard Zhang Huan's call.

"Sir, sir, look who we found!" Zhang Huan ran over excitedly.

Di Renjie was startled and turned around, only to see Zhang Huan running out of the side room supporting someone.

This man had a full beard, a dark complexion, tears in his eyes, and he threw himself into Di Renjie's arms: "Master, Master!"

Di Renjie was surprised and delighted, and called out loudly: "Di Chun!"

Di Chun fell to his knees and cried out, "It's me, I am Di Chun, Master!"

Di Renjie sighed and helped him up: "Good boy, you have been wronged!"

Zhang Huan reported again: "Sir, we found Di Chun in the secret passage. The secret passage led to a forest. We chased him out but didn't catch Xiao Qingfang."
