Chapter 394 Pirates~~Holy~!
Zhou Ji has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, why doesn't he know this?
Pressing down with their palms, the bandits who were originally vicious all showed pain and ferocity, their knees bent forward and they knelt down in a blink of an eye.
"What about now? Do you remember anything?" Zhou Ji looked as usual, with his sleeves behind his back,
The strong wind dissipated suddenly, and the kneeling bandits collapsed to the ground as if they were falling apart, wailing one after another, the bandit leader realized that he had hit the iron plate, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Hero, please forgive me. The little one has eyes but can't see Mount Tai, Hero, please forgive me~"
"I'm asking you, do you remember anything?" Zhou Ji looked down at the bandit leader and wrote lightly.
"I think about it, little one thinks about it."
The calmer Zhou Ji's expression became, the more terrified the bandit leader felt, and he stammered, "There was indeed a gangster named Meng here before, and just two months ago, the old **** of Qingyang captured a teenage boy. The little girl, and then the men surnamed Meng went to the door to ask for someone, but none of them came out."
"Little Queer?" Xu Fengnian frowned slightly, and asked in surprise, "Why did the people from Qingyang Temple arrest that girl?"
The bandit leader looked up at Zhou Ji tentatively, and said hesitantly: "I heard that the old gods in Qingyang are good at collecting yin and nourishing yang, maybe they have taken a fancy to it?"
Xu Fengnian's heart tightened suddenly, suppressing the surging anger, he said in a deep voice, "How long have you been caught?"
"It was less than two months before we came here." Hearing the change in Xu Fengnian's tone, the bandit leader said anxiously.
Two months. Xu Fengnian didn't dare to think about what would happen in two months.
But everyone present felt that the eldest son who was called Beiliang's No. 1 dandy had murderous intentions for the first time.
Zhou Ji smiled lightly, patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder and sat back in his original position, playing with the pheasant roasting on the fire.
Xu Fengnian nodded slightly at Zhou Ji, walked towards the bandit leader with a face as heavy as water, raised his hand to touch Xiudong's knife handle and said, "How many people have you killed?"
"Never killed, we are all bitter people, and we were all forced to do this." The bandit leader subconsciously denied, and his voice became smaller and smaller after speaking, his eyes wandered from side to side, and he secretly glanced at Xu Fengnian and Zhou Ji's reactions from time to time.
Putting his palm down from the handle of the knife, Xu Fengnian took a deep breath, calmed his mind and said, "Grandpa Wei, there is a small **** not far to the south, and there is a village after passing the mountain nest. Please help me take a look."
The bandit leader sat down slumped, knowing that disaster was imminent.
Xu Fengnian looked at the bandits in front of him, suddenly felt a little dull, got up and walked outside.
Qingniao couldn't stop worrying, and followed all the way, and in a blink of an eye, only Zhou Ji, Li Chungang, and Jiang Niyu Youwei were left in the room.
Lv Qiantang was on guard in the front yard, while Shu Shuo was guarding the bandits in the backyard.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with the sound of firewood burning, and the young fish Wei picked up her half-burned wooden stick from the bonfire, lifted it up and waved it a few times, and the burnt lump cracked into ashes. ~ fell to the ground with a bang, almost burning the corner of her skirt.
Yu Youwei stomped her feet in a panic, and the last half was also thrown into the fire due to a miss, showing a regretful and annoyed expression.
Seeing Yuyouwei dancing around the fire, Zhou Ji laughed dumbly. Jiang Ni, who was helping Xu Fengnian make the bedding, also heard Yuyouwei's exclamation, turned around and glanced, feeling a little helpless.
"Haven't you planned to give up yet?" Zhou Ji put down his pen and ink, couldn't help laughing and said, "Although the 'Lv Qiantang' in the courtyard was a scholar before, the Chixia Sword he wears is a strange sword that can burn blood. If you want to knock him out, relying on that piece of wood you picked up is useless."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ji would directly tell her escape plan in front of other people.
Yu Youwei glanced at Li Chungang subconsciously, and quickly made a silent gesture to Zhou Ji.
"Don't worry about it." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "He can hear you clearly in the courtyard during the day, so you can't hide it."
Yu Youwei remembered that he could hear the conversation between Xu Fengnian and Ning Emei through the rain curtain and the carriage that day, and couldn't help but panic, and took a few steps closer, and said anxiously: "Master Sword God, can you please help us keep it a secret? Tell the fourth or fifth person about this?"
Li Chungang held the tip of the pen in his mouth, scratching his head and thinking about what to write. When he heard Yu Youwei's request, he pulled down the pen and said, "This is about the two of you. What does it have to do with the old man? But in the old man's opinion, the girl Jiang Ni doesn't want to leave." Bar."
"You talk too much!" Jiang Ni glared at Li Chungang in embarrassment, and said falteringly: "I just think that the two of us can't escape the hunting of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry alone. It's futile."
Li Chungang originally wanted to persuade Jiang Ni to learn martial arts from him again, but he dismissed the idea of persuading him when he glanced at the pen and ink in his hand, and turned his eyes to Zhou Ji, this kid must have the same idea.
The night is getting darker, the sky is clear and the moon is bright.
Xu Fengnian came back alone, with firm footsteps and a sense of determination in his heart.
Zhou Ji sat on a stone in the courtyard, raised his hand to capture the surrounding evening dew, dripping on Si Teng's stretched buds.
Xu Fengnian stopped behind Zhou Ji. He didn't come forward until he saw the dew hovering in the air and fell to the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Old Zhou, I plan to go to Mount Qingcheng tomorrow. Will you help me?"
"Is it to avenge the old Mengtou and the others and seek justice?" Zhou Ji asked back.
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said in silence for a moment: "Two months, maybe everything is too late, but what if the person is still alive? I want to try."
"Mount Qingcheng is the gateway for Liyang to enter and exit Beiliang. I heard that Wu Lingsu, the head teacher of the Qingyang Sect, was given the title by the late emperor to monitor Beiliang. Now your father is running for your hereditary replacement, and hastily clashed with the Qingyang Sect. Conflict, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Zhou Ji said with a faint expression.
"I've thought about it." Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "This time around Qingcheng Mountain, I planned to avoid the Qingyang faction, but I promised that Xiao Que'er will come back to find her Qingyang, so I must break through!"
The corner of Zhou Ji's mouth curled up slightly, once again seeing the shadow of Fan Xian from Xu Fengnian.
If Zhou Ji on Niulan Street hadn’t arrived in time to kill Cheng Jushu that day, Teng Zijing might not have just had his arm removed.
But he believed that if Cheng Jushu really killed Teng Zijing, even if the Fan Xian he knew made the world upside down, knowing that Lin Gong was Wan'er's elder brother, he would kill Lin Gong to pay for Teng Zijing's life.
The same is true for Xu Fengnian in front of him.
Xu Fengnian knows better than anyone the consequences of trespassing on the mountain, but he still has to do it, even if it will add a few twists and tribulations to the process of Beiliang's hereditary succession, he will not hesitate.
Xu Fengnian's eyes dimmed, he looked away in disappointment, and forced a smile: "I'm being reckless, I shouldn't involve you in the dispute between Beiliang and the Liyang royal family for my own private affairs."
"It's really reckless."
Zhou Ji shook his head and smiled: "As the saying goes, make a plan before moving. All the news we know is from the hearsay of the bandit leader. When you were in the house, you knew to send people to the stockade to investigate first. Now you are facing Qingyang. Pai, why did you become impulsive?"
Xu Fengnian heard the inexplicable meaning in Zhou Ji's tone, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration but he couldn't figure it out, and said anxiously: "What do you mean?"
"Sneak into the Qingyang faction tonight to find out the location, learn the truth before deciding whether to go to the mountain."
Zhou Ji stood with a flowerpot in his hand, the bright moonlight fell on his shoulders, his hair swayed gently with the dinner, a faint smile hung on his handsome face, a confident and calm temperament came from the inside out, which surprised Xu Fengnian .
"What the **** did you do before?"
"Pirate~~Holy~~~!"
The deliberately dragged long sound echoed in mid-air.
Jiang Ni looked out of the window inadvertently, the moon was in the sky, and there seemed to be two familiar figures floating through the moon, but one of them was tucked in his elbow, looking like he was throwing around in a mess, a little embarrassed.
"Stop~stop~! Put me down, I'm dizzy."
In a shaded area of Mount Qingcheng, Xu Fengnian got up from the ground on all fours, held on to the tree trunk next to him and retched twice, without the slightest excitement of just flying into the sky, turned around to look at Zhou Ji, and said with a bitter face: "I knew it earlier." Just change to another position."
"You will get dizzy even more if you stand on your shoulders." Zhou Ji leaned against the mountain wall with a flowerpot in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "When you can fly by yourself in the future, just get used to it."
"You want to teach me to fly in the sky?" Xu Fengnian stopped vomiting immediately, and a smile finally appeared on his originally bitter face.
"Yukong, you are out of luck. I will write you the Qionghua sect's fencing technique, and then you can use it yourself to fend off the sword." Zhou Ji smiled and turned to look at Qingyang in the distant mountains among the clouds. The Taoist said with a smile: "The business is important right now, let's sneak into the Qingyang sect first."
Xu Fengnian calmed down, and his expression returned to seriousness.
Since being tricked into learning martial arts by Zhou Jixuan, Xu Fengnian has never stopped practicing light kung fu. Coupled with the blessing of Wang Chonglou's Da Huang Ting Qi, the level of light kung fu alone has surpassed that of Zhou Ji when he was in the Legend of Soul Through Martial Arts.
The two changed into night clothes, covered their faces with black cloths, bypassed the side door one after the other, sneaked in from the back mountain vegetable garden, and walked through the kitchen to the inner courtyard of the Qingyang School.
Xu Fengnian followed behind Zhou Ji, seeing him dodging the night patrol disciples with ease, as if returning to his own home, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Have you been here before?"
"No." Zhou Ji swept around with his spiritual sense and led Xu Fengnian into the courtyard on the other side. He happened to see a Taoist nun in her forties hurrying out of the room of the temple master Wu Lingsu. There are some differences, and the gentle and virtuous temperament is also somewhat different.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly. This person has a special status, so maybe he can find out something.
Just when he was about to ask Xu Fengnian to follow, he saw Xu Fengnian blankly staring at the man with unbelievable light in his eyes.
"aunt."
Although Zhao Yutai's strength is not at the first rank, he is not a mediocre person either. When he sensed that someone was watching him, he suddenly turned his head to look at the wall, "Who is it!"
The bamboo shadow swayed with the wind, and there was no one at the foot of the wall.
Zhou Ji carried Xu Fengnian to the kitchen by his collar, and asked curiously, "Do you know that person?"
"My mother is from the Wu family in Jianzhong. She is the sword crown of the previous generation. Every generation of the Wu family has an exclusive sword attendant who grew up with the sword crown. Although my aunt is my mother's exclusive sword attendant, the two are close Like a sister, so I called her aunt since I was a child, and she has always loved me very much."
Xu Fengnian explained Zhao Yutai's identity to Zhou Ji, and he became even more confused, "Then why is she here? She came out of Wu Lingsu's room?"
"It's useless to guess, just ask her and you'll know." Zhou Ji subconsciously reached out to grab Xu Fengnian's collar, but saw him take two steps back embarrassingly to avoid it.
On the other side, Zhao Yutai wrapped the secret letter in his hand around the pigeon's leg, put it back in the pigeon coop, and when he turned to return to the room, he suddenly saw a young man in night clothes with no mask coming from behind the arch.
Zhao Yutai was startled, subconsciously wanted to draw the sword, but heard a familiar "aunt" from the opponent's mouth, Zhao Yutai took advantage of the moonlight to see the opponent's appearance, the sword fell to the ground, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
"Fengnian. Is that you? Fengnian" Zhao Yutai's footsteps were slow, and then he walked faster and faster. Xu Fengnian heard his aunt's voice again, his nose was inexplicably sour, and he went forward to help her wipe the tears on her face. With a bit of choking, he said, "Auntie, don't cry~"
"Not crying, but happy." Zhao Yutai looked at Xu Fengnian intently, but couldn't stop crying.
Xu Fengnian comforted Zhao Yutai for a while, and asked: "After my mother died, my aunt disappeared. Could it be that she was imprisoned here by Wu Lingsu?"
Zhao Yutai wiped away tears, shook his head and said, "That's not true, he is your uncle."
"Uncle." Xu Fengnian widened his eyes, feeling confused.
"It's hard to explain for a while, by the way, how did you come here? And you are wearing such a costume?" Zhao Yutai asked Xu Fengnian why he went up the mountain.
Xu Fengnian told Zhao Yutai how he heard that Xiao Que'er was captured by Wu Lingsu and Lao Mengtou's gang went up to the mountain to kill dignitaries.
Only then did Zhao Yutai suddenly understand, and smiled: "That's not the case. It's a little late today, and Xiao Que'er should have already fallen asleep. I'll ask someone to make a room for you. You can rest here for a night, and wait until tomorrow morning." I'll call her to see you again."
Xu Fengnian naturally has 100% trust in Zhao Yutai, but he still has a somewhat skeptical attitude towards Wu Lingsu, whom he has never met.
Seeing Xu Fengnian's hesitation, Zhao Yutai couldn't laugh or cry, so he dragged him back to the courtyard, woke Wu Lingsu up, and asked him to explain to Xu Fengnian himself.
Unexpectedly, the Qingyang faction was actually the shadow son arranged by Xu Xiao in the Liyang Dynasty, Xu Fengnian couldn't help being a little stunned.
Now Xiao Que'er is worshiping under Zhao Yutai's door, and Lao Mengtou and his group are also secretly sent back to Beiliang, where they settle down and buy their own land.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, in order to avoid being suspected of the relationship between Beiliang and the Qingyang faction, Wu Lingsu and Xu Fengnian made an appointment to have a fight by breaking into the mountain gate after dawn to perform a play for the Liyang royal family, so they sent him After being sent to the Houshan Vegetable Garden, Wu Lingsu sighed softly as he watched Xu Fengnian disappear into the depths of the night, with a complex look flashing in his eyes.
