Chapter 114 Interrogation
It was still dark and the river water was as black as ink.

Chen Ji's head emerged from the water, breathing heavily. The cold touch seemed to penetrate through his skin, into the gaps between his bones, and into his marrow.

The soaked clothes stuck to the body, unable to retain any warmth.

Chen Ji looked around the water, trying to find the trace of Manager Yuan in the waves, but was suddenly attracted by the scenery above his head.

Meteors flew across the river, dragging long comet tails, like a meteor shower rarely seen in several years, gorgeous, brilliant and glorious.

With the bowstring fully drawn, the meteor flew across a distance of a hundred steps, and more than twenty elephant armor guards on the bridge did not even have the chance to fight back and were pierced one by one.

A tattooed man on the bridge hid on the other side of the carriage, avoiding the shooting stars, and took out a copper whistle from his waist and blew it.

Dense groups of Elephant Armor Guards heard the whistle and poured out of the alley, rushing towards Mudan Bridge like a brown torrent.

The tattooed man roared: "Catch the golden pig and cover the second master's departure! It's just a Pegasus, I don't believe he can fire hundreds of arrows in a row!"

But just as he finished his words, he heard the sound of iron hooves in the distance.

The iron hooves came from afar, as if a huge battle formation was breaking through the ice.

Chen Ji turned his head suddenly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat standing quietly on the eaves of a pavilion in the distance.

The opponent was like a black falcon, holding a black flag in the flickering firelight, pointing at the Peony Arch Bridge in the distance!

On the flag, the two big words "Jie Fan" were embroidered in gold thread!

It was Lin Chaoqing. Tianma also transferred the Jiefanwei from Mengjin camp!

Chen Ji stared at the golden pig on the bridge, and the other party was bending down to avoid jumping, and finally took the opportunity to jump into the water. It seemed that he could not kill the golden pig today. Although Liu Mingxian had a huge layout, the Silijian seemed to be better at breaking the situation.

The overall situation has been decided.

But Chen Ji hasn't finished what he has to do tonight.

At this time, the sound of water waves came from not far away. I saw Manager Yuan swimming hard towards the west, stirring up the water.

The traces are added carefully, neither too close nor too far away.

Shopkeeper Yuan turned around, gave him a cold look, and swam even faster.

The two men were walking one in front and one behind, with flames rising into the sky and shouts of killing behind them, while here the only sound was the splashing of water. The flames were reflected on the black surface of the river, as if even the icy water of the Luo River was ignited with cold flames.

Chen Ji swam and shouted, "Don't run away. You have a penetrating wound on your leg. Where can you escape to?"

Shopkeeper Yuan sneered but did not answer.

Chen Ji continued to shout: "Cooperate with my Secret Service and I may spare your life!"

Shopkeeper Yuan still didn't answer, but just swam towards the shore.

Chen Ji swam hard for a few times to catch up, but Manager Yuan suddenly turned around and kicked him on the head.

Amid the undercurrent, Chen Ji was kicked to the bottom of the river, with his mouth and nose immersed in the cold water. If it were not for the resistance in the water, he would probably have fainted instantly.

He shook his head, kicked his legs hard on the riverbed, and gritted his teeth to follow again.

Shopkeeper Yuan looked back and felt that there was a lone wolf following him, which seemed to want to drag him to death in the deserted wilderness.

After a moment, he limped on the pebbles and slowly waded ashore.

Shopkeeper Yuan looked down at the wound and saw a thumb-thick blood hole on the thigh that was still bleeding, soaking the pants purple.

Just as he lowered his head, he heard a whistling sound of breaking wind. He tilted his head slightly, and a flying stone brushed his ear and fell on the distant mudflat.

Shopkeeper Yuan looked back and saw Chen Ji standing in waist-deep water. He bent down and picked up a few pebbles from the water, holding them in his hands and throwing them over one by one. He laughed angrily: "Who the hell are you? You dare to chase me after picking up a few pebbles? The Secret Service only pays you a few taels of silver a month. Why are you playing with me?"

Chen Ji didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Yuan wanted to lower his head and tear off the hem of his clothes to wrap around the wound to stop the bleeding. If he didn't stop the bleeding, he wouldn't be able to escape far.

However, just as he lowered his head, he heard the sound of stones breaking through the wind again.

Shopkeeper Yuan dodged easily and pretended to go back into the river to kill Chen Ji first, but just as he moved, Chen Ji waded back into the river.

He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing: "You think you can delay time?"

After that, Manager Yuan simply stopped paying attention to Chen Ji, not even avoiding the flying pebbles, and focused on bandaging the wound. A pebble thrown by an ordinary person would not cause any serious damage even if it hit him.

next moment.

A thud.

A huge stone hit Manager Yuan on the forehead, causing his eyes to go black and he staggered several steps to the right.

He looked with wide eyes, and saw Chen Ji struggling to pick up a stone as big as a head from the river.

The young man in the river had a blue face, pale lips, and was trembling with cold all over, as cold and hard as the pebbles at the bottom of the Luo River.

"Are you done yet?" Shopkeeper Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Don't bother me anymore. I'll give you more money than you can spend in your lifetime. It's much better than working for the Secret Service."

Chen Ji sneered: "You can talk about it after you survive tonight."

At this time, someone not far away said with a smile: "Do you look down on the salary of my Secret Service Department? Can your Military Intelligence Department give more? Excuse me, is this person in front of us a military intelligence department official? We have been looking for you for a long time."

Shopkeeper Yuan turned around suddenly and saw the golden pig had arrived without him noticing, his clothes still dripping with water, and he was wading slowly onto the shore from the river.

In the middle of the river, on a small black-sailed boat, an old man in a straw raincoat was holding a long oar and riding a white-robed Pegasus slowly approaching.

Pegasus stood on the bow without moving, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, as if as long as he was there, the river would not be able to produce any huge waves.

Shopkeeper Yuan wanted to escape to the river bank, but just as he turned around, he saw a man squatting on the river bank behind him, staring at him with a smile.

The man, wearing a bright brown collar and a large placket, stood up and walked down the river bank to the mudflat.

His robe was embroidered with dozens of brightly colored wild pheasants. His face was fair and beardless, and his hair was neat and shiny, just like a female actor on stage.

Dream chicken.

Shopkeeper Yuan said in a fierce voice: "The three zodiac animals have appeared, and even the three Pegasus have appeared. It can be said that a large number of troops have been mobilized. But you didn't go to catch Liu Mingxian, but all came to play with me?"

Jin Zhu laughed and said, "Since the Minister wants the Liu family to die, there is no reason for him to live. Liu Mingxian is just a small character. The Liu family's roots are in Yuzhou. Where can he run to? Don't struggle, just surrender."

Manager Yuan did not answer, but turned around and rushed towards Chen Ji, intending to take the thief away with him before he died.

But when he turned around, he found that Chen Ji seemed to have anticipated his intention and had returned to the river early.

The next moment, a meteor flew from the center of the river and pierced through Manager Yuan's other good leg.

Golden Pig walked up with a smile, turned Manager Yuan over and pressed him to the ground.

He pulled out a small knife from his sleeve, cut off a lock of Shopkeeper Yuan's hair and handed it over: "Mengji, interrogate him right here. And the kid in the river, interrogate him here as well."

Golden Pig squatted on the ground, turned his head to look at the traces in the river, and said slowly and quietly: "I can only feel at ease after I have tried him."
