Chapter 833 Burning agarwood and boiling morning dew
"There's someone here!"
"Bring it up!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle, many warriors gathered around the cellar with solemn expressions.
The two warriors who had just pushed the stone slab away jumped down from the cellar and surrounded Ji Yuenian. One of them looked up and down and said to Ji Yuenian: "Who are you and why are you hiding in the cellar?"
Under the gazes of many warriors, Ji Yuenian walked out of the cellar along the earth steps with a branch and crutch, looked around with an incomprehensible expression, and said: "Of course I have nowhere to go, so I sleep here."
The leading warrior looked at the shabby white robe Ji Yuenian was wearing, and saw several hideous scars on his face, as well as the branch crutch supporting his left leg. He subconsciously relaxed a little and said: "
It turned out to be a lame beggar who wandered here, and I thought I had caught the real culprit who murdered the Imperial City's martial artist."
From the perspective of these warriors, Ji Yuenian not only had no martial arts aura, but was also a cripple with no strength to bind a chicken. He could never be the person who killed two imperial city warriors in succession.
"Let's go look over there."
Following the order from the leading warrior, these people all dispersed and left the small courtyard in a matter of seconds.
However, the leader of the warriors did not leave, but looked at Ji Yuenian carefully again, looking at his pale face covered with scars under his messy black hair, and said: "Let me ask you, how long have you been wandering here?
"
Ji Yueliang said in a loud voice: "It's been about dozens of days."
The leader of the warriors said: "In these days, have you ever seen two warriors dressed similarly to me?"
Ji Yuenian pointed to the river bank several hundred feet away and said, "I saw it. Those two people rode across the bridge and quietly turned into ashes of grass and trees, and were blown away by the wind."
"It turns out you are not just a beggar, you are also a crazy fool!"
The warrior leader spat on the ground, turned around and left.
With a smile on his face, Ji Yuenian walked out of the courtyard of the wooden house with a branch and a cane. He took a brief look at the direction, walked up the official road, and walked towards the location of Yungu Imperial City.
At the right time, a soft breeze blew across his face, blowing up his dark hair that fell to his fair forehead.
The closer you get to Yungu Imperial City, the more and more farmland grows on both sides of the official road, and the villages and towns become even denser. Pedestrians and carriages pass by from time to time, and everywhere you look, there are people.
"Little brother, I see that your breath is weak and your steps are sloppy. This is a sign of insufficient blood. But are you starving?"
An old but powerful voice reached his ears. Ji Yuenian stopped and looked sideways. An old man in black riding a maroon horse was looking at him steadily. In front of him, there was another man holding the reins.
The boy stood respectfully.
With some effort, Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly but did not speak as he leaned on the tree branch and crutches with his left hand.
The old man in black turned over and got off his horse. He was very agile. He walked up to Ji Yuenian and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you don't mind it, would you like to go with me to the wine shop in front to have a few drinks. I'll pay for the wine."
Come pay.”
Ji Yuenian didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when the old man in black turned over and dismounted, he caught a glimpse of the token worn by the old man's waist.
Imperial City Secretary.
The Yungu Imperial City Division has two chief ministers, who lead more than 300 master warriors in the Imperial City Division. Their status is extremely high. They only obey the orders of the Jiang family and cannot easily leave the Yungu Imperial City.
"Then let's go," Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment and responded softly, "But you'd better not call me my little brother again. By then, your lifespan will have been lost in vain. It's yours."
suffering."
The old man in black raised his eyebrows with a somewhat surprised expression. He looked at Ji Yuenian again and again and said, "I am seventy-nine years old, why can't I call you little brother?"
Ji Yuenian shook his head and stopped talking. Instead, he walked straight towards the wine shop in front of him, leaning on a tree branch and crutches.
"Have a good time leading the horse and take good care of my thousand-mile precious colt."
The old man in black gave instructions to the young man, then walked a few steps quickly, followed Ji Yuenian, and said with a smile, "Brother... Your Excellency, please wait for me."
Ji Yuenian had inconvenient legs and feet and walked slowly. When he saw him chasing after him, he said, "If you have something to do, just tell yourself. There is no need to beat around the bush like this."
The old man in black pointed to the wine shop not far away and said, "I'll find a quiet place to sit down. I'll wait until the food and drinks are served, and then I'll talk slowly."
Ji Yuenian raised his head, looked at the huge shadow of Yungu Imperial City hidden in the clouds, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wine shop.
Elegant room.
"I think your blood is weak, so you'd better eat something first."
With a smile on his face, the old man in black looked at the steaming delicious dishes on the table. He picked up the wine cup and drank a glass of wine. "I haven't been here in more than ten years. I never thought that
This wine shop's 'Jiyun Niang' is still as good as it was back then, with a strong taste and a sweet taste, and the taste has not changed at all."
Ji Yuenian held wooden chopsticks and picked up a piece of fragrant beef stew and put it into his mouth. His eyes were a little strange and he said softly: "I haven't tasted a dish like this for a long time."
Hearing this, the old man in black thought that he could not afford such meat on weekdays, and his smile became more obvious, saying: "Your Excellency, you can eat as much as you want. Although I am not a rich man, I can still pay for it with a little money for food and drinks."
I can afford it.”
After about a while of burning the incense, Ji Yuenian put down the wooden chopsticks, took the silk towel and wiped it clean, and said: "The high-ranking and powerful Minister of the Imperial City actually came to the edge of the country where Ding Xishao lived.
, I don’t know what exactly you are planning to do?”
The old man in black was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that his identity had been discovered by him, but he quickly adjusted his expression, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said: "Your Excellency, you really have good taste, so I will speak frankly.
"
Having said this, he put down the wine cup in his hand and looked more solemn, "In the past few days, when the imperial city's warriors were searching for key criminals, they accidentally found a unique snake beast monster. This monster is different from the ordinary monster.
Monsters are very different. According to the information gathered by the warriors, this monster is full of treasures."
After a pause, the old man in black looked steadily at Ji Yuenian and continued, "A villager came to report that he had seen this snake monster walking with a young man in white robe from a distance.
There are several scars on the face, and he is leaning on a tree branch and a cane, which makes it very inconvenient for him to move around."
Ji Yuenian's eyes were inexplicable and he said softly: "Do you want to take advantage of this monster?"
The old man in black said solemnly: "To be honest, my granddaughter is suffering from a terminal illness and is in urgent need of the snake gallbladder from the mountain monster. It is for this reason that I suppressed all news about this snake monster and personally
We rushed over with our elite direct descendants, and we must capture him as quickly as possible."
Ji Yuenian said: "Since you have found the whereabouts of this monster, why do you come to ask me?"
The old man in black glanced at him and said: "Although I don't know why you can walk with monsters, in this Immortal Cherry Valley, although it is not common for people to know each other, there are many records. Since you
Being so familiar with it, it may be possible to know more or less its weaknesses, so I came to ask you."
Ji Yuenian smiled slightly and said: "No matter what the reason is, don't go looking for trouble with it. It seems that these warriors you brought are not enough to give it blood food as a tooth-beating sacrifice."
After saying this, he stood up straight away and left the wine shop with a branch and crutch.
The old man in black gritted his teeth slightly as he looked at Ji Yuenian's leaving figure.
A warrior from the imperial city quietly entered the private room and said respectfully: "Secretary."
The face of the old man in black turned cold and he said: "Take two elite warriors and follow this person. If he makes the slightest move, report to me at any time."
"Yes, Secretary!"
The warrior responded, then seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked, "The plan to hunt down the black snake monster..."
The old man in black snorted coldly and said: "Everything is going according to the original plan! I don't believe that a small monster, even if it has some mutations, can still defeat more than fifty elite warriors!?"
