The sigh of Captain Ding echoed in the hall. He did not want to see this situation, but the order from Zhoufu was not something that a local captain like him could contend with.
Yang Ji remained silent, but there was a fire burning in his heart.
"He who helps himself, God will help him." He had worked hard enough, but his qualification for recommendation was still deprived. When the House of Virtue was impeached before, he still had the power to resist. But this time there was no room for resistance.
Such a superior existence as "King Taiyuan" can no longer even be seen. There is no way to refute any of his orders.
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Yang Xuanlan, I have already made enough concessions to you mother and son, but you still keep pushing each other step by step. One day I will make you pay the price."
Yang Ji said with hatred in his heart.
"actually……"
Captain Ding pondered for a moment, feeling a little unbearable. Even he felt that fate seemed too unfair to this young man:
"Actually, there is still a chance. King Taiyuan means that your conduct is controversial and you are not worthy of special recommendation by the court. But if you have performed major meritorious services, even the court cannot turn a deaf ear and recommend you. It's just...
Time is running out, only ten days left."
Ten days is the last time of Yang Ji's one-month internship, and it is also a very special time.
Only meritorious service during this period of time will reward Yang Ji with the qualification to enter the sect. After this period of time, even if he has made great contributions to the court, he will only receive other rewards.
Yang Ji remained silent. Even Ding Duwei himself knew that these words were just better than nothing by An Wei, let alone him.
Not to mention where he went to "make great contributions" and ask the court to make an exception for him. The last ten days alone were a threshold that he could not cross.
What can you do in ten days?
"Sir, if there is nothing else, the student has resigned."
Yang Jidao.
"Go ahead."
Captain Ding waved his hand, looked at Yang Ji's back, and sighed deeply in his heart. He almost saw the fall of another genius.
The fate of life often takes an inadvertent turn, and the recommendation qualification is cancelled. It does not seem to be so fatal. Yang Ji can still work hard on his own, but he is wasting some time.
However, many young geniuses have wasted their talents due to various failures, and ended up mediocre and unknown.
Success is not just about having good talent, it also requires the right time, right location, and all kinds of cooperation between people!
Yang Ji's mind was confused. He didn't even know how he left the Duwei Mansion. When he woke up again, there was already a bustling street under his feet, with people all around him. Looking up, he could see a towering building standing in front of him.
not far away.
"Dilong Restaurant", seeing the iconic building in Pingchuan City. Yang Ji suddenly realized that he had already made an appointment with Wang Xian and the others to meet at the Dilong Restaurant today. Although his mind was confused, he still remembered this in his heart.
Something happened, so I came here unknowingly.
"Let's go and take a look."
Yang Ji sighed in his heart, gathered his mood, and walked towards Dilong Restaurant. In any case, he
"You bastard! You cut off my body and don't want to sell it for money. How can such a thing happen?"
Just when he was passing by a few butcher shops, he suddenly heard a loud roar. I don't know if someone asked him the price. After cutting it off, he suddenly didn't want to buy it, or he didn't bring enough money. In short, the butcher roared angrily and weighed a piece of meat.
The butcher's knife jumped over from the table with a swish.
The man had never seen this kind of driving before. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, he yelled "killer" and ran away. The crowd around him suddenly became confused.
"Five grains, one hundred grains for life", this kind of thing is not surprising in Pingchuan City, it happens from time to time. Yang Ji didn't pay attention. Seeing the chaos in the crowd, he ran over here. He subconsciously moved to the side.
"boom!"
A huge force came, and at that moment Yang Ji felt as if he had hit a heavy iron mountain, his body staggered, and then he stopped.
"Apologise."
Yang Ji subconsciously said something. Then he saw clearly that the other person was an extremely tall-boned businessman, wearing a colorful robe, walking quickly among the crowd with his head lowered.
The strong wind blew through his sleeves, vaguely revealing three green flames on his wrists. Seeing those flames, Yang Ji's pupils shrank sharply.
"This is... he is from the Tianyin Sect!"
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind, and his heart was pounding wildly.
This is not the first time Yang Ji has seen such a strange symbol. The last time was in the mountains outside Jin'an City. The Bone Master of the Tianyin Sect who was digging graves and stealing bones had such a flame tattooed on his wrist.
, but there is only one flame on his wrist.
"Three green flames... This person's status in the Tianyin Sect is probably much higher than that of the Bone Master."
Yang Ji's heart was pounding wildly.
Big boss, this is definitely a big boss!
The imperial court is going around to conquer the Green Forest Man, but the more dangerous cult member is actually in Pingchuan City, and he is also a big boss.
Yang Ji's blood suddenly surged upwards, and he felt like his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry.
He remembered that he mentioned the Tianyin Sect to Lu Ling last time and asked her to tell the court, but the court never saw any news. Now it seems that they have not found any useful evidence.
The imperial court searched everywhere for traces of the cult, but they didn't know that the leader of the cult had sneaked into the city right under their noses. This has to be said to be a great irony.
"call!"
Among the crowd, tall merchants in colorful robes walked in a hurry, as if they had not heard Yang Ji's words, and moved forward without any reaction, as if Yang Ji bumped into someone else.
Such frictions and collisions are rare and common anywhere in the world. Neither the merchant nor anyone else cared about it. Only Yang Ji remembered this person.
"Follow up!"
Seeing that the other party was about to disappear, Yang Ji's heart moved and he followed him without hesitation. A big leader of the Tianyin Sect appeared in Pingchuan City. There was no more exciting news than this.
In the dark, Captain Ding's words in the hall suddenly echoed in his ears. Yang Ji did not take this remark seriously at first, but now, his heart suddenly became lively.
"The imperial court has always had a strict attitude towards suppressing cults, and will show no mercy once discovered. Pingchuan County has been peaceful for many years, and the imperial court does not even believe that cults exist. As long as the leader of the Tianyin Sect is caught and the existence of the cult is proven, he will definitely be punished.
Pingchuan County caused a huge sensation."
Things were going on in Yang Ji's mind.
It is definitely not easy to make great achievements in the remaining ten days, but the leader of the Tianyin Sect gave him a glimmer of hope. As long as this was done, even if King Taiyuan objected, the court would
The rules are there, and it is impossible not to recommend him to join the sect.
The crowd was bustling, which provided Yang Ji with great convenience. It was not easy to notice someone following him among so many people.
Leaving the butcher shop, Yang Ji followed this "middle-aged man" around the streets and alleys. After several twists and turns, he crossed almost half of Pingchuan City and finally entered an inn.
"Shopkeeper, stay at the hotel."
After Yang Ji saw the room he entered, he took out five taels of silver and checked into the inn. The other party seemed very cautious. All the rooms on the left and right were rented, so Yang Ji could only choose to stay opposite him.
"This person is too strong. He is definitely above the fourth level of martial arts. He has condensed the Furnace of Blood. It is very possible for him to reach the fifth level of martial arts."
Yang Ji thought of the situation just now and thought to himself.
An accidental collision in front of the butcher shop made Yang Ji feel as if he had hit a heavy iron mountain. You must know that Yang Ji has now reached the third level of martial arts and condensed two incarnations of the Five Ghosts.
The opponent's strength is obviously far superior to his!
"It's not too early to act rashly. Moreover, the people of the Tianyin Sect are best at hiding their identities. If they only rely on those three green flames, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the trust of the captain and the others."
Yang Ji thought secretly in his heart.
A cultist is either a "cultist" or a "cultist" if you call him a "cultist". There must be conclusive evidence. Otherwise, once the other party denies it, and Yang Ji does not have enough evidence, it will cause dissatisfaction with the court. It will also attract
The pursuit of the cult.
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, a big cult leader must have some agenda when he appears here. We must find out their purpose, or at least grasp their whereabouts."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
There had been no movement on the opposite side since the door was closed, and it looked like the most ordinary businessman. However, Yang Ji knew that it was definitely not like this.
He was not in a hurry and ordered a few meat dishes in the room. Then he opened two slits in the door and paid close attention to the movement on the other side through these two slits.
Sure enough, after noon, various "businessmen" began to enter the room opposite one after another. It looked like businessmen from all over the world were meeting to discuss business.
"As expected, there are still many people from the Tianyin Sect in Pingchuan City."
Yang Ji was secretly heartbroken. Although these people were well disguised, their high-spirited and majestic steps still unconsciously revealed the walking habits of warriors. Obviously they were not ordinary "businessmen."
As these "traders" entered, the defenses on the second floor of the inn became noticeably tighter, and they began to go door to door to investigate who lived in other nearby rooms.
Two of them, who were obviously guards, came towards his room.
"not good!"
Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his body to the ground. The snake swooped out and jumped six or seven feet away. Just before these people appeared, he quietly opened the window, jumped out, and hung under the window.
The whole process was done in one go and without any sound.
"Dong dong dong!"
Almost at the same time, a knock on the door sounded outside: "Is anyone there?"
There was another knock on the door, but after no reply, the door suddenly opened with a creak, and a piercing murderous aura covered the room like frost.
"Not here!"
"She must have gone out."
The two of them looked around and found nothing suspicious, then quietly exited the room.
Whoosh!
When these people exited the room, Yang Ji rolled back into the room like a carp splashing water.
"These people are so defensive, they are definitely not ordinary people."
Yang Ji secretly thought.
If it was originally just based on the green flames on his wrists that he could infer that the other person was a member of the cult, then Yang Ji could now be absolutely certain that these people were definitely members of the Tianyin Sect.
