Sitting on the stairs beside the corridor and at the stone table next to it were a group of stout men wearing gray cloth. Their skin color was sallow or dark, and some of them had scars on their faces. They looked a little ferocious. They were holding big cakes or cakes in their hands.
Water bag, chatting loudly while eating.
"It's getting harder and harder for escorts in the northwest to leave. I'm afraid I'll die on the road one day."
"Hey, Lao Yu, you are a top-notch mid-term player. You are almost in the late-stage stage. Does anyone dare to rob your bodyguard?"
"Don't talk about Lao Yu's bodyguards. My bodyguards were almost robbed. The government doesn't care about those sons of bitches!"
"How to control it? If an official dares to meddle in other people's business, he or she will basically not be able to save his life."
"I don't want to go to the northwest these days. I'll tell the owner soon that I'm going to the south. It's okay if I pay less. I don't want to live to make money and lose my life to spend it!"
"..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"There is indeed some chaos in the northwest, but I have also received news that the court will send people to rectify it during these days, so you don't have to worry too much."
Seeing Ye Xiao coming, everyone said in unison: "I've met the head of the family."
Ye Xiao waved his hand casually, indicating for them to continue eating, and turned to Tang Ji and said, "Brother Tang, please forgive me, they all just came back from escorting."
Tang Ji shook his head and said that he didn't care. He had heard about what happened in the northwest. It was all caused by some evil guys in the world. Yesterday, he heard gossip from Li Yu. It was said that this time the Seven-Star Officials of the Star Division were sent
Five people came out, including Su Ling, and there were countless first-rate and second-rate masters. It seemed that Emperor Ning was really angry.
Ye Xiao led Tang Ji and the others to the backyard and said casually: "Twenty years ago, no one would have dared to make such a mistake."
Tang Ji asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because there was King Beicheng in the Northwest at that time, and Jiang Zhan, the general who ruled the country, both of them reached their peak. They were feared by the entire world at that time. Jiang Zhan single-handedly slaughtered the notorious people in the Northwest at that time day and night.
The famous twelve thieves, since then, the entire northwest has been completely peaceful!" After Ye Xiao explained, he sighed, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, things are different now."
Hearing this, Tang Ji trembled all over, and Jiang Ran was also startled and stopped.
Ye Xiao noticed something strange about the two of them: "What's wrong?"
Tang Ji chuckled lightly and adjusted his expression. The level of martial arts in Jianghu must be the Master level, which is the highest. However, the Master level is also subdivided into master, grandmaster and peak. This was the first time he heard that King Beicheng and Jiang Zhan had reached such a high level.
He held Jiang Ran's hand and asked curiously: "Lao Xiao, weren't you just born twenty years ago? How do you know these things?"
"These are what my father told me when I was a child." Ye Xiao explained casually.
Tang Ji nodded slightly, turned his eyes, and asked: "But, I heard that King Beicheng and Jiang Zhan were both beheaded in the northwest. With their peak strength, why didn't they run away?"
"I don't know. It stands to reason that peak-level masters can come and go freely in an army of ten thousand people, but they did all die on the guillotine. What's even more suspicious is that everyone who knew what happened back then has been dealt with. However, my father said
However, King Beicheng was a vassal who was very close to the people. When news of his rebellion came out from the northwest, the people didn't believe it. They didn't know what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind it." Ye Xiao said as he walked.
Jiang Ran's beautiful eyes wrinkled slightly, she hugged Tang Ji's arm tightly and bit her pink lips lightly with her white teeth.
Tang Ji exhaled, feeling that this matter was getting more and more troublesome!
"Brother Tang, are you interested in things in the northwest?" Ye Xiao turned his head and asked casually.
Tang Ji shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile: "I'm more interested in things in the world."
Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded: "I have heard these stories since I was a child, and then I became obsessed with martial arts. Unfortunately, I am not talented enough. Even if I study hard and practice hard, it is probably difficult to reach the master level in this life. Alas!
"
Tang Ji patted Jiang Ran's arm twice, put his thoughts aside temporarily, and continued to reply: "You are more cheerful and energetic than last time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao asked, "That's it?"
"Is there more?" Tang Ji looked at him, suddenly thought of something, and added: "The skin color is also much whiter!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "There will be a banquet in the mansion tonight. We won't go home until we get drunk."
Tang Ji raised his brows slightly and replied: "I'm afraid that won't work. I only have one day off to rest, and I have to go back in the afternoon. Otherwise, I won't be able to make it to the morning meeting tomorrow, and the court won't bother me."
After hearing what he said, Ye Xiao felt a little pity, and then said: "Okay, let's go and see the land I chose for you now, and have two more drinks at noon!"
