Bu Ji followed Master Jingyun and walked, and just when he looked up, he found himself at Donghua Gate.

"you......."

"I'll take you back."

Li Ji turned around and said earnestly.

There was a dim light in his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

The capital city is not safe, so letting her stay in the palace is the best option.

"I didn't say I wanted to go back."

Bu Ji looked at the time. It was still early before the palace gates were closed, so she would definitely be caught by the guards if she went back.

She had to go back when the guards at the palace gate were replaced. At this time, the guards were thinking about where to go for a drink and where to have fun, and would not pay attention to the palace people coming in and out.

She said she was a palace maid of the Yikun Palace, so she could naturally enter.

"You have to go back. The identities of the group of men in black have not been determined yet. They only kidnapped you. Who do you think they are targeting?"

Li Ji's low voice was above her head. Even without looking up, Bu Ji could feel the burning gaze.

"Maybe we kidnapped the wrong person?"

"There were many young ladies and girls beside Wuwanghai at that time. We were about the same size..."

Bu Ji's eyes were evasive. She didn't even dare to look directly into Master Jingyun's eyes. She lowered her head and clenched her hands subconsciously.

She didn't dare to say that those men in black had the symbol of the Blood Tiger Cult on them, for fear that Master Jingyun would think she was troublesome and would never meet her again.

"They all died, including the pregnant woman."

"The only one who was taken away alive was you."

Li Ji had already talked to the general in the city. Judging from how the officers and soldiers handled the riot scene, the group of men in black had only one goal. They created chaos in an attempt to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers and take the opportunity to kidnap Bu Ji.

As to where they were taken abducted, it is unknown.

This is also why Li Ji was so anxious to send her back.

"I......"

"I have never offended anyone, let alone the Blood Tiger Cult."

Bu Ji stammered and said that she firmly believed that the group of men in black had captured the wrong person, but the facts forced her to believe that the person the Blood Tiger Cult wanted was her.

"Blood Tiger Cult?"

Li Ji frowned, suddenly grabbed her wrist, and his expression became nervous.

Bu Ji nodded and had to tell him everything he had seen.

"Among them was a man in black. I saw a tiger logo embroidered on the waist of his clothes."

"The storybook says that it is the totem of the Blood Tiger Cult and belongs to the mysterious Deadpool."

"But my impression of the Blood Tiger Sect is only from the storybook. Before this, I have never offended this sect."

Bu Ji pursed his lips, thinking over and over, and had no intention of telling Young Master Jing Yun in front of him about the entanglements in his palace.

She didn't believe that Cui Lihua had any connection with the Blood Tiger Cult. If so, she wouldn't have used such brainless methods to murder her once or twice.

Pushing her into the water, slandering her to the Queen Mother, and putting incompatible substances in her medicine, these methods are really too crude and low-level.

If Cui Lihua had any connection with the Blood Tiger Cult, the cult could simply send an assassin to kill her directly, without anyone knowing. Wouldn't that be more efficient?

Cui Lihua is not someone who likes trouble. She is efficient in everything she does. She is ruthless to herself and even more ruthless to others.

Maybe it had something to do with her years of experience as a closed-door trainee. She was almost about to debut, but accidentally traveled to this place. Anyone would be indignant.

Li Ji responded, relaxed his brows, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in his deep eyes.

"I know you don't know them."

"Now they know you."

If the previous emperor had not passed away suddenly, the Blood Tiger Cult would not have existed in this world. One of Li Ji's purposes in borrowing the identity of Master Jingyun was to eradicate the evil cult in the martial arts world.

Two of the three evil cults were destroyed within a year. When it came to the third one, Master Jingyun did not take action, but disappeared from the world.

At that time, there were many uninformed people in the martial arts world who said that Master Jingyun was the leader of the Blood Tiger Sect and that he destroyed the other two sects just to strengthen the power of his own sect.

However, the Blood Tiger Cult soon posted a bounty list, with the new emperor at the first place and the missing Young Master Jingyun at the second place.

In this way, the rumors are self-defeating.

Although Master Jingyun has disappeared, he has always been mentioned in the mouths of storytellers, in the pens of writers, and in the songs of street children.

Bu Ji became worried and his face turned pale instantly.

"What can we do?"

"I don't want to die yet..."

"It's a good thing that the person we met this time was you. If it was someone else, even Prince Yelu, he would not be a match for the Blood Tiger Cult."

As she was talking, a bamboo joint suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Li Ji took the bamboo joint, handed it to her, and said expressionlessly.

"Take it, and when you are in danger, blow it and I will hear it."

Bu Ji took the bamboo joint and looked at it carefully before realizing that it was a whistle with several small holes on it.

"How is that possible? You don't have clairvoyance and clairaudience, so how can you rush over to save me immediately?"

"I don't know what you mean by clairvoyance and hearing, but if I say I can do it, then I can do it."

Bu Ji looked at him doubtfully, but seeing that he looked serious, he nodded.

"Ok, I trust you."

She carefully put the bamboo joints into her belt, thinking that she would string them together with a rope when she got back and then hang it around her neck.

It's easy to lose it no matter where you put it, so it's safest to hang it on your body.

Fortunately, this bamboo joint is not long, only as big as the little finger, so it will not be uncomfortable to wear.

As soon as the two finished talking, the haystack next to them suddenly moved. Bu Ji was startled and reached out to grab Li Ji's arm and hid behind him.

She is simply a psychological trauma.

She knew that the ancients killed people for fun, and there would be assassins or bandits appearing from time to time, but she never thought that she would encounter one.

Now that it has happened once, it has left a psychological trauma.

She would get extremely scared whenever she heard any strange noises around her.

Li Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the haystack seriously, half of his body blocking Bu Ji behind him.

The haystack was not high, and only a small person could hide inside it.

Sure enough, a boy who looked like a child came out from inside. He was wearing blacksmith's clothes and there was dust on his face. He looked dark and healthy.

"elder sister!"

He shouted at Bu Ji, extremely excited.

Bu Ji took a step forward, looked at his face, his eyes lit up, and said.

"It's you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your hair and clothes have changed."

"It looks like he's gained weight and height."

The last time the boy stole her purse, he was thin and small, with dirty hair that reached his neck, and his bangs covered half of his face. Seeing him now, it was hard to recognize him.
