A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 62 Silver Masked Man

"There's an assassin." Qiqi picked up a plate and knocked the arrow away.

The secret guards all stood up and surrounded the prince. Yun Jizi stood up and flew in the direction of the archer, and the leader of the secret guards followed him.

Zhou Jingze pulled Qiqi over to protect him. The secret guard went over to pick up the arrow and handed it to the prince.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze noticed the arrow and thought it looked so familiar. "Brother Jingze, it's the guy from the hunting ground. It's him again. We must catch him," Qiqi said bitterly.

Qiqi asked the shopkeeper to take everyone back to their rooms and not to come out if they heard any noise. The shopkeeper asked the little guys to hide because they were the ones he had just recruited and had just started martial arts training.

The shopkeeper stood beside Qiqi, on guard. If someone attacked the masters, he would be responsible. He had to protect them.

Yun Jizi and the leader of the secret guards returned. "We didn't catch him. He ran too fast."

The head of the secret guards and the shopkeeper knelt down to apologize, and Qiqi quickly helped them up.

"This matter is not your fault. Get up quickly." The leader of the secret guards looked at the prince. The prince also waved his hand for him to get up.

The secret guards quickly dispersed around Fuxiangju. The shopkeeper also went up to the attic and stood there, monitoring the surroundings. They were too happy today. They forgot their duties. This kind of thing will never happen again. The shopkeeper secretly swore.

Zhou Jingze took out the arrow and showed it to his master. Yun Jizi also recognized the arrow.

"It seems we should first catch the man wearing the silver mask to prevent him from causing trouble." Yun Jizi said.

"Master, the leader of the secret guards has arranged people to patrol the surrounding area and will report if they find any trace of him." Zhou Jingze replied.

"Master, this person is coming for Brother Jingze. I hope no innocent people will be hurt." Qiqi said

"Qiqi. This person's Qinggong is very advanced, comparable to Jingze. He is also very good at archery, but I don't know how good his martial arts are. We must be careful." Yun Jizi said.

The secret guard delivered a letter, and a man wearing a silver mask headed towards the capital.

Qiqi and his two disciples boarded a carriage and set off in pursuit of the capital. As they passed a forest, a secret guard reported that a man in a silver mask was fighting with two other men.

Qiqi, her master, and Jingze got off the carriage and used their lightness skills to fly in the direction the secret guard had indicated.

At this time, the sound of a signal flare was heard in the air. It was Qiqi sending it to Wei Wushuang and his sister.

"Hurry, Master, Brother Jingze, and the Wei Wushuang brothers and sisters are ahead, let's go over there quickly." Qiqi said quickly

Wei Wushuang and Wei Wuliang, two siblings from Haicheng, were fighting a man wearing a silver mask. Their martial arts skills were so good that they evenly matched the masked man.

Wei Wushuang and Wei Wuliang had bid farewell to Qiqi in Haicheng and headed north, searching for the man wearing the silver mask. They visited many towns but encountered no trace. They arrived in Zoucheng and heard about the missing girl, so they too searched for her. That day, they learned that the Crown Prince and Princess Qiqi had solved the case. They were delighted.

They also walked north all the way to Liancheng. Tomorrow was the New Year. They found a hotel to stay in. The brother and sister also wanted to have a good New Year's Eve dinner. They also saw someone setting off fireworks. When they arrived at the fireworks, they saw that it was the owner of Qiqilou and Zhou Jingze who set off the fireworks. The brother and sister stood aside to protect them.

The secret guards were probably stunned by the fireworks and did not notice the brother and sister.

The brother and sister also saw that Qiqi and his companions had set up three tables of food. The secret guards also ate together, so they did not go back and stayed outside their Fuxiang Residence. When the arrows came, they went in the direction of the archers.

The brother and sister chased after him, while the man in the silver mask ran in front. After chasing for a whole day and a whole night, they finally caught up with him in the woods.

The silver-masked man shot the brother and sister with a series of arrows, forcing them to dodge. The silver-masked man, no longer running, drew his broadsword and slashed at the two. Wei Wushuang blocked with his sword, while Wei Wuliang slashed at the masked man with his sword. The masked man kicked the back of the sword, but Wei Wuliang's strike missed.

Wei Wushuang swung his sword at the masked man's face. The masked man dodged. Wei Wuliang slashed at the masked man's shoulder. The masked man blocked it with his knife. Then he kicked Wei Wuliang, sending him two meters back.

"Brother!" Wei Wushuang screamed. He blocked his brother's path with his sword. Wei Wuliang leaped to his feet. The three of them engaged in battle again. Wei Wushuang stabbed the masked man with his sword and then launched a flying kick. The masked man stumbled and nearly fell. Wei Wuliang slashed a layer of skin off his shoulder. The masked man grimaced in pain.

The masked man became ruthless and started dancing with his sword quickly.

"Sister, be careful."

"Brother, you too. The masked man got angry after being beaten by us and he wanted to escape." Wei Wushuang said to his brother.

"Brother, send out a flare to see if the host is nearby," Wei Wushuang said.

Wei Wuliang took out a flare and released it, and the flare exploded in the air.

Qiqi and Jingze both drew their swords and joined the fray. Soon, the masked man was stabbed in the right chest by Zhou Jingze, and the sword fell to the ground. Qiqi dodged and hit the masked man's acupuncture point, rendering him motionless. Qiqi took out a poison pill and stuffed it into the masked man's mouth. Instantly, the masked man grimaced in pain, unable to move.

Qiqi said bitterly, "This is the interest from the arrow you shot at Brother Jingze's enclosure."

Wei Wushuang and Wei Wuliang came over to greet him. "Meet the host."

"Hello, Sister Wei. Thank you for catching the masked man this time. Brother Wuliang, you are injured. Here are the trauma medicines and a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine. Take them." After Qiqi finished speaking, she handed the things to Wei Wushuang.

"Thank you, host." Wei Wushuang said as he took the things.

"Sister Wei, this is a token. I, Qiqi, keep my word, and I will accept it from you two. Take this token and go to the capital to find Xie Lei, the owner of the Hidden Sect. He will make arrangements for you. He should be at the Jiang family in the capital now. Brother Wuliang, you should recover from your injuries. You can go now."

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious. My brother and I will set off for the capital now." Wei Wuliang said.

"Thank you for taking us in." Wei Wushuang and Wei Wuliang said goodbye to Qiqi and the others and rushed to the capital.

The secret guard brought the man with the silver mask over, and Qiqi interrogated him personally.

"What's your name, where are you from, and why did you shoot Zhou Jingze with an arrow? Tell the truth," Qiqi asked.

The masked man gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Qiqi looked at it and said, "You don't say it, right? I wonder if you can bear this pill? It will itch you to death."

Qiqi took an itching medicine and gave it to the secret guard, who took it and stuffed it into the masked man's mouth.

After a while, the masked man felt itchy and uncomfortable. Qiqi pressed his acupuncture points. The masked man rolled on the ground because of the itch and scratched his body with his hands.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Give me the antidote, I'm itching like crazy!" the masked man shouted. Qiqi threw him a pill, and the masked man took it and the itching stopped.

"I'm from Shunqing. The Prime Minister sent me here to create conflict within the Great Zhou Kingdom and assassinate the old emperor and the crown prince. I can't even remember my own name. I often wear a mask, and they call me the Masked Man in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"In the hunting ground of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it was you who shot the prince with an arrow, right?" Qiqi asked.
