Ji Yuenian opened the door and quietly looked at the familiar furnishings in the study. He was silent for a long time. He picked up the ancient book that Ji Bugui had read from the desk and put it into the white jade ring, then turned and walked out.
.
"My lord, the carriage is ready and can set off at any time."
Ji Bugui had now changed into a luxurious satin robe. He stood respectfully outside Ji Yuenian's study and spoke carefully.
Ji Yuenian nodded slightly and said, "You are willing to take a big risk this time to help me suppress Ji Luoyan, Ji Hong and others, which is very good."
"The eldest son is serious," Ji Bugui said with a smile, "it was the eldest son who planned the strategy first, Ji Bugui didn't dare to take the credit."
As soon as he said these words, a luxurious carriage made of gold and jade slowly drove in from the outer mansion and stopped in front of the side hall.
Due to Ji Yuenian's special instructions, Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe and others did not come to see them off. Now there are only a dozen or so people in front of this side hall.
One of the Ji family guards stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage for Ji Yuenian, while the other knelt on the ground under the carriage for him to step on.
Ji Yuenian got on the carriage and said, "Let's go."
The coachman was a young man about eleven or twelve years old. At this moment, he heard Ji Yuenian speak and responded in a crisp voice: "Yes, young master!"
Ji Bugui stood there, quietly looking at the carriage gradually receding on the official road of Anyang City, with a complicated expression.
It wasn't until the carriage left the Anyang City Gate that he turned around and walked into the side hall.
…
There are eight prefectural cities in the inner city. Anyang City is located in the northwest corner, and Taoist Hexuan's Heyun Temple is located in Tunyun City due east.
It was already the beginning of the Mao period, and the brilliant golden morning glow spread across the sky, so magnificent that it dispersed all the remaining gloom.
Ji Yuenian stopped practicing, opened his eyes slightly in the carriage, and said softly: "Although you are young, you are so skillful in driving the carriage, quickly and steadily, which is very good."
The young man's voice was a little shrill, and he did not turn around, but simply responded: "Eldest Young Master, I have been working as a coachman in Luoxue Pavilion for four years since I was eight years old. I am the best at driving carriages inside and outside the Ji family.
people."
There was a hint of contentment in his tone.
"May I have your name?"
"My eldest son, I come from a collateral bloodline, and my name is Ji Buyu."
Ji Yueliang nodded lightly and said, "No wonder Ji Bugui arranged for you to drive. You are indeed very smart."
Ji Buyu's tone gradually became lower, with a hint of sadness in it: "I was originally driving for the wife of the family, and obeyed the orders of Luoxue Pavilion. The former wife died tragically, and I was transferred by the current master to serve the eldest son."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived under the majestic gate of Tunyun City.
Several green-robed city guards walked over, looked at the luxurious carriage carefully, and looked a little respectful unconsciously.
One of them said respectfully: "I wonder which inner city you are from?"
Ji Buyu slowly stopped the carriage, looked at the person who spoke with big black and white eyes, and said: "Anyang Ji's family."
The city guards looked more and more respectful, and they all got out of the way, leading the carriage towards the city gate which was more than ten feet wide.
Tunyun City is different from the other inner cities. It is the place where Heyun Temple is located. There are many descendants and disciples of Taoist Hexuan in this city. Most of the people within the territory of Taichu Ancient City have aroused their hearts.
The people of fire are all in Tunyun City.
The city was a little deserted, and there were only a few pedestrians and carriages on the official road. Ji Buyu drove the carriage straight towards Heyun Temple in the center of the city.
"Luoxue Pavilion, if I remember correctly, is it the attic where Xu Lian'er is?"
Ji Yueliang spoke loudly.
Ji Buyu's eyes dimmed and he said, "Your Majesty, yes."
After a moment of silence, he plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice: "My eldest son, I want to know what crime the wife of the house has committed?"
"Xu Lian'er?" Ji Yuenian did not get angry, but shook his head gently, "She is not guilty."
Ji Buyu's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously crying: "The wife of the house treats people very well, she is never as harsh and cold as other people in the main lineage, and she is extremely caring to me. My eldest son, if she really has no intention of doing anything,
Why did he die brutally despite his sin?"
When Xu Lian'er was slapped to death by the third elder the night before, Ji Buyu was still in a village outside Anyang Mansion and did not know the specific situation.
Although he is a descendant of the Ji family, he belongs to the group of people with the thinnest blood. There is no mansion or house in Anyang City, so he can only live in the Mafu Town outside Anyang City with dozens of other horsemen and their families.
At the end of Yin Shi, he would get up early and go to Anyang Fucheng to wait for orders.
Xu Lian'er once bought him a small house within the fourth room of the main line, but Ji Buyu still returned to Mafu Town every night to accompany his parents and never lived in Anyang Fucheng.
After a long while, Ji Buyu couldn't hear the answer from the person behind him, and he didn't dare to ask again. He just thought about Xu Lian'er's kindness to him, and his eyes gradually became moist.
"Stop," a cold and solemn voice came to my ears, and a young man in black robe who had entered the early stage of Xuan Dynasty walked over and looked at the carriage, "Who is coming?"
We have arrived outside Heyun Temple.
Just as Ji Buyu was about to speak, the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted up, and Ji Yuenian got out of the carriage directly.
"Ji family Ji Yue Nian."
The young man in black robe was startled for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Ji. I have also heard about Mr. Ji's return from the Qingluan Mountains. It is really surprising."
He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ji Yuenian vaguely saw his thoughts and said: "Fellow Taoist is wondering why the person who came is not Ji Quexue?"
The young man in black robe nodded and said: "Yes, the Ji family in Anyang has produced a genius of the sixth level of the Heart Fire sequence, which shocked the entire ancient city of Taichu. I thought the person coming from the Ji family would be Ji Quexue."
After a pause, he said again: "Let's go, I will take you into the temple."
Ji Yuenian nodded and followed the black-robed young man into the outer gate of Heyun Temple.
Ji Buyu got on the carriage alone and was breathing in to warm his hands when an extremely surprising voice came from behind him: "Cousin!"
Two carriages stopped next to Ji's carriage one after another. A handsome young man in a moon-white robe got out of the carriage and walked directly towards Ji Buyu's place.
Ji Buyu rummaged for a while before finally remembering who this person was.
Ji Yuenian is the close cousin of Zhao Xiaoyun, the second son of the Zhao family, who has reached the upper realm of Xuan.
Zhao Xiaoyun stopped and realized that there was no one in the carriage, so he turned to Ji Buyu and asked, "Is the person here the eldest son Ji Yuenian?"
Ji Buyu nodded: "Yes."
Zhao Xiaoyun showed a trace of joy on his face and said to himself: "The Zhao family is very close to Anyang City where the Ji family is located. I have just received the news from the Ji family. Not only is my cousin safe and sound when he returns this time, but he has also brought all the children together."
