Chapter 70: The Storm Rises

Ji Buyun took the wine glass and glanced at Nan Wan'er, he thought that she would tell him how to drink this floor, but he didn't expect Nan Wan'er to hold his arm, look at him with big eyes full of curiosity, and didn't say a word.

He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this mind full of intrigue and intrigue was the rhythm of the princess who wanted to pull him down the pit together.

He hurriedly looked at Qian Seventeen, the unobtrusive Prince of the Wind God Temple was happily pulling Ao Xian and the Lei Zhen brothers of the Thunder God Temple at the moment, and he didn't even look at him.

Holding the pillar of wine that went straight up to the roof, Ji Buyun looked around at the crowd of onlookers, these people's eyes were full of anticipation, the Praetorian Guard colleagues were looking forward to seeing his profound spells with their own eyes, and the cultivators were looking forward to this legendary dragon man being so young, and they wanted to know how far he had practiced.

Yunni smiled at him and said: "It seems that Ji Gongzi not only has an extraordinary spiritual background, but also the amount of alcohol must be extraordinary, there is enough wine on this floor to have a jar, if I am allowed to drink, I must be drunk to death." ”

These words woke up Ji Buyun, Nan Wan'er must have used a spell to impose some kind of restriction, so that a circular aura prohibition was formed above the wine glass, thus restraining the wine, if you want to drink, you only need to use the aura to control the speed and angle of the wine falling from above.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, the aura spread all over his body, and then used his divine sense to guide the aura in his hand holding the wine glass up the wine pillar, and a thin wine line fell from the top of the wine pillar, and it fell right into his mouth impartially.

After the trip to the Chaos Domain, Ji Buyun's aura and divine sense ability increased greatly, and after a simple exploration, he immediately mastered the trick of using divine sense and aura to control the wine line.

Now he could perfectly control the speed and volume of the wine line, and the crystal clear liquor fell straight down the roof, and he drank the wine in one gulp, without spilling even half a drop.

At the end of the drink, he held the wine glass flat with his hand, and the wine line fell up into his mouth like a fountain, looking extremely chic and freehand.

It's not about drinking, it's about showing off your skills.

When the wine line fell from a high place, the onlookers were afraid of disturbing Ji Buyun, so they could only praise each other with their eyes and gestures, but now it fell to a low place, and everyone applauded instantly.

Ji Buyun drank nearly a jar of wine in the wine column, and his face did not change.

Tu Qiling said with a smile: "I don't know the level of Ji Gongzi's aura as a layman, but this amount of wine makes the little sister breathtaking, admiring and admiring." ”

Nan Wan'er said, "Little brother, is it enough to drink? If you don't drink well, people can bring you another floor." ”

Ji Buyun glanced at her and ignored her, Nan Wan'er didn't care, still smiling and holding his arm.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Nan Wan'er and Ji Buyun poured wine and drank wine one by one, and the level of cultivation that they inadvertently showed, many cultivators were never ahead of themselves, and the arrogance that was vaguely hidden in their bones suddenly came to naught.

What they didn't know was that Nan Wan'er had a lot of tricks, but not much real kung fu; Ji Buyun had an aura and knew very few spells.

Qian 17 and Ao Xian came over at this time, the two of them raised their wine glasses, and Qi 17 opened their mouths to Ji Buyun and said: "Brother Ji's cultivation is really advancing thousands of miles every day, admire and admire, junior brother and Commander Ao toast you with a glass." ”

Ji Buyun glanced at him, and said in his heart: You just came here now, what did you do just now?

Still, he raised his glass and had a drink with the two of them.

The wine was drunk until midnight, Ji Buyun observed it carefully, although the cultivators were slightly drunk, their eyes were bright, and the Praetorian Guard officers, including Xitu, were all drunk and hazy.

After Ji Buyun arranged for someone to send these drunks back, he turned his head and saw that Qian Qiqi and the cultivators were standing neatly in front of the Central Plains Pavilion and waiting for him, he hurriedly asked Qi Qiqi to take them back to rest, and he also wanted to send Tu Qiling back.

Qian Qiqi exchanged a few polite words with him, and left with the cultivators, and the two brothers Jiuxing and Jiuyin of Wanlong Island and the two sisters Yunni and Yunshang of Phantom Sky Island said that they would stay with him in everything.

Ji Buyun and Nan Wan'er took them to the front of the Prairie Pavilion, and after simplifying their farewells, they watched the Riding Ling leave the hall before leaving.

On the way back, Nan Wan'er looked at the Yun sisters and whispered to Ji Buyun, "Little brother, how are you going to settle them tonight?"

Ji Buyun understood that she was not worried about these two beauties by her side, besides, the barracks of the priest's court were all men, and it was indeed inconvenient for the two women to live there.

He deliberately said in a loud voice: "Wan'er, is it okay to trouble you?"

Nan Wan'er smiled coquettishly: "What's the trouble, little brother, what are you polite to others?"

Ji Buyun said: "The barracks are all men, and it is not very convenient for the two sisters of Phantom Sky Island to live, please take the two of you to the priest's house to rest for one night, okay?"

Nan Wan'er said: "No problem, no problem, little brother, wrap it up on others." ”

Ji Buyun turned his head to the two sisters and said, "I'm really sorry, I wronged the two of you." ”

Yunni said lightly: "Ji Gongzi has a heart, our sisters were ordered by the family teacher to serve Ji Gongzi, and they can live there." ”

Ji Buyun was startled, just now the two sisters said that they were here to protect Ji Buyun, but now they have changed it to serve, he doesn't have the courage to let such two beauties serve him.

Hurriedly said: "I still have something I want to ask the two of you to help with." ”

Yun Ni said: "Ji Gongzi and our sisters don't have to be polite, just tell us if you have something." ”

Ji Buyun roughly said the last time the Tibetan Sword Palace invaded the priest's courtyard, in fact, there is no need for Ji Buyun to say this, it has been widely known in various cultivation places in the East China Sea, Bingyi destroyed the Tibetan Sword Palace in anger, and Ying Qingyi snatched the three swords of law and will, everyone knows that there are these two people standing behind Ji Buyun, this is an existence that cannot be provoked.

Ji Buyun finally said: "I have two brothers from Wanlong Island here to help, and I also have a little self-protection ability, so I dare to ask the two of you to help me protect the High Priest, she is me." ”

Nan Wan'er said: "She is your eldest wife, and she is your little wife, do the two sisters understand?"

Ji Buyun said in his heart: Then there is your place, and there is a queen, how can there be a little wife who openly digs a pit in front of the public to let her husband jump?

Yunni said softly: "I will follow the orders of Master Ji." ”

Yunshang, who had never spoken, said at this time: "Ji Gongzi's cultivation far surpasses that of our sisters, the family teacher sent us, mainly to take care of Ji Gongzi's diet and daily life, Ji Gongzi says what our sisters will listen to, we can win Ji Gongzi's trust and support Gongzi's future wife, our sisters are honored." ”

Ji Buyun remembered Nan Wan'er's sentence: Little brother, why do people always think that Ying Qingyi found you two beautiful guards, is it ulterior motives?

Faintly believing that Ying Qingyi took great pains to send him two beauties after arranging two cultivation dragons from Wanlong Island as guards, it was probably to disgust the high priest and repay the sorrow of being scared at the beginning.

He sighed in his heart: Women, they can't be provoked, even the stupid Ying Qingyi has now learned to play tricks.

He glanced at Nan Wan'er, this prescient princess happened to be looking at him too.

At night, her big eyes were bright.

When she arrived at the barracks of the Priest's Courtyard, after seeing Nan Wan'er take the Yun sisters and the maid into the gate of the Priest's Courtyard, Ji Buyun returned to the barracks and instructed Anya to take the two brothers from Wanlong Island to the room where the brothers Ji Meng and Ji Fan lived to rest.

After he returned to his room, he originally wanted to contact the high priest with his divine sense, but after a little groaning, he felt that the time was too late, and it was estimated that the high priest had already rested, so he hesitated for a while and forgot it.

What he didn't know was that the High Priest was also struggling with whether to use his divine sense to communicate with him at the moment, and it was for the same reason that she gave up.

After routine cultivation, Ji Buyun silently recited the Qi Control Technique, while secretly proud of his cultivation speed.

Early the next morning, as soon as Ji Buyun got up, Xitu rushed in with an anxious face, and he brought Ji Buyun a news that shocked him greatly, the six tribal elders of the An tribe who were called to attend the plenary meeting of the Senate were all assassinated in Zhongxiu Pass, two hundred miles away from Haotian City, including the accompanying guards and domestic servants.

Anya, who was accompanying her, heard the bad news of the family, her face was full of grief, her body shook, and she almost fell to the ground.

Ji Buyun hurriedly supported him and persuaded him not to be sad first, and to listen to how the commander-in-chief planned to deal with this matter.

The An tribe has been deprived of the right to enter the standing army and the Senate for more than twenty years, as a hardcore ally of the Buyun clan, Lord Buyun has been actively mediating every year, striving to return the An clan to the power center of the highlanders, originally this Senate meeting was the most promising to achieve the goal, but I didn't expect this to happen.

Xitu said: "After the five rulers got the news in the early morning, the five lords were extremely angry, and called me to the Senate early in the morning, ordering me to investigate the matter immediately, and make sure to find out. ”

Situ rubbed his temples as he spoke, apparently not fully awake from yesterday's wine.

Ji Buyun said: "Does the commander-in-chief plan to let me investigate this matter?"

Situ shook his head and said: "Brother, you are the most suitable candidate, but you and the High Priest are about to get married, no matter how important this matter is, it is not as important as your marriage, my brother still understands this truth, and I will never cause you trouble at this time, I want Commander Qian to be responsible for investigating this matter." ”

Situ is telling the truth, the plenary session of the Senate is about to open, and on the first day of the opening, the five people in power will announce their marriage, this is acting in accordance with the oracle of Haotian, and no one can change it, Situ must dare to send Ji Buyun out on business at this time, without the high priest to speak, the five people will immediately dismiss him.

Ji Buyun nodded, there is indeed no more suitable person than Qian Seventeen, the investigation itself has a certain risk, with Qi Seventeen's cultivation, ordinary assassins cannot threaten him at all, in addition, he and the new cultivators are very familiar, it is more convenient to command them.

While the two were talking, Qi Seventeen hurriedly walked in with the two brothers of the Thunder God Temple at the call of Xitu.

Xitu briefly briefed him on the situation and said, "Commander Xuan, I want to send you to investigate this matter, what do you think?" ”

Xuan XVII, an official fan, was obviously very interested in taking on such a heavy responsibility, and he said to Xitu with great interest: "Thank you for the trust of the commander-in-chief, I will definitely do my best to complete this matter." ”

Xitu said: "I plan to send a squadron of Praetorian Guards to investigate with you, the Captain Anda of the Praetorian Guard and the guard Anya commanded by Ji are both from the An family, let them go with you, these new brothers can take whoever you want to watch and arrange." ”

Qian Seventeen said: "Qi Yue and Qi Ling are now assisting Ao Commander in training the rune weapon array every day, and they are inseparable at all, and the six brothers of the three shrines of thunder, rain, and electricity have a lot of contact with me when they practice, and I plan to take them there." ”

Situ said: "No problem, I have arranged for the Praetorian Guard headquarters to prepare horses and silver for you, in addition, with the special approval of the five-person government, you have the right to arrest any suspect below the patriarch at any time, without any instructions, if someone resists arrest, you have the right to act arbitrarily, and you can stay alive at will, this is the first time that the highlanders have granted such privileges to the Praetorian Guard in the past five years in power, you must use it well, and you can arrange someone to go through a formality later." ”

He also said: "The silver can be spent casually, you don't need to give it to me, as long as you investigate this matter clearly, you can spend as much as you want." ”

At this time, a guard came in and reported that the Priest of Woyue was waiting at the gate of the barracks.

Xitu glanced at Ji Buyun and said, "It seems that the High Priest has learned about this." ”

Ji Buyun nodded and said, "I guess so, Brother Qian, you arrange someone to go through the formalities first, and I'll go see what the High Priest has to say." ”

Xitu said: "Go quickly, Commander and I are waiting for you here." ”

Ji Buyun came out to see Wo Yue, and as expected, the high priest summoned him.

He followed Woyue to the Pink Palace, where the High Priest, Nan Wan'er, Shouri, Xianyu, Zhangjiu, and Jinghu Priest were all there, and several people were discussing something.

Seeing Ji Buyun coming in, the high priest beckoned Ji Buyun to sit beside her.

After Ji Buyun sat down, she asked Ji Buyun, "You already know about the assassination of the elder of the An clan, right?"

Ji Buyun said: "I know, the commander-in-chief of Xitu has decided to send Qi Seventeen to bring people to investigate this matter. ”

The high priest nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, this matter was done by a cultivator, and it is most appropriate for him to go, I came to you for something else." ”

She gestured to the priest of the watch.

The priest of the sun watcher said, "Master Ji, please see these two lists. ”

She pushed two lists in front of Ji Buyun, one with the names of five people and the other with the names of seven people.

The owners of these names are all big names such as patriarchs, and the first two names on the list of seven people are the names of two adults.

Although Ji Buyun already felt that the five consuls and the priesthood might be tempted to get rid of some people with ulterior motives, what he didn't expect was that the people to be eliminated would include top figures like adults.

He looked at the high priest in amazement.

The high priest's face was calm, and his slightly hoarse voice revealed endless majesty: "There are people in the highlanders who are plotting to cause chaos, these two lists are drawn up by the two lords in the five-person government after a detailed investigation, they are afraid of long nights and dreams, and they want to get rid of these people immediately without going through normal channels, these five people are the opinions of Lord Buyun, and these seven people are the opinions of Lord Ne and the priests of Jinghu." ”

She pointed to the list of five and continued, "There is now conclusive evidence that these five are directly related to the Assassins who appeared in the Senate. ”

Ji Buyun said: "What about the opinions of adults?"

The high priest said: "I want to investigate clearly through normal channels, I don't want to do it secretly, it may backfire, if these people have more party, it will definitely provoke changes." ”

Jinghu said: "My lord, time is not waiting for me, my opinion is to do it immediately, otherwise it will be a troubled tiger." ”

The priests who kept the sun, offered jade, and held the wine nodded together, "Agreed." ”

Ji Buyun glanced at the high priest and said softly, "Duo'er, do you remember the queen's lesson three hundred years ago?"

The queen was devoted to cultivation and inexperienced, so she did not take the initiative into her own hands and was at the mercy of the Senate, and ended up being deposed by the Senate.

The high priest said, "I understand, do you agree to do it immediately?"

Ji Buyun said: "Yes, let them toss, I can't say how many things will be tossed." ”

He had already thought very clearly, at this time, he had to share the worries of the high priest, and he had to do it if he didn't want to, which was his unshirkable responsibility as her man.

The high priest groaned for a while, and said: "Secretly attack, you must do not leave a trace, they want the Ji brothers to make a move, I don't agree." ”

Ji Buyun knew that she was afraid that if the matter was revealed, she would be involved, obviously Nan Wan'er hadn't told her about last night's incident, and said with a smile: "I don't agree either." ”

Nan Wan'er followed with a smile: "People don't agree either. ”

Bingxue Clever Grand Priest Sima Shang understood and said with a smile: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Nan Wan'er described to them in detail the statement of the first shock of the Thunder God Temple to Ji Buyun last night and Ji Buyun's ideological struggle, and finally said: "People persuade the little brother, you must be ruthless at this time, you can't hesitate, you will suffer from chaos if you continue to make decisions." ”

The high priest smiled: "Wan'er, you are not only persuading Ji Buyun with this sentence, but also persuading me, right?"

Nan Wan'er said: "Sister, people don't want to persuade you, you must know better than me in your own heart that you must use thunder means at this time." ”

The high priest waved his hand at Nan Wan'er, looked around at everyone, and then said solemnly: "I have thought clearly, as the high priest of the highlanders, I am trusted by all the highlanders to fulfill the responsibility of serving Haotian on their behalf, the highlanders are all my clansmen, and I will never order the murder of the clansmen in the name of the priest's house. ”

After speaking, she smiled meaningfully at Ji Buyun, Ji Buyun smiled at her knowingly, stood up and said, "Follow the orders of the high priest." ”

The corners of Nan Wan'er's mouth quietly curled upward, and then she lowered her head without revealing a trace, and fiddled with her fingers intently.

Jinghu and the others still wanted to argue, but the high priest waved his hand and said, "This matter is not subject to objection, hold the wine, keep the sun, and trouble the two of you to send Ji Buyun on my behalf." ”

After speaking, she got up and left directly with Nan Wan'er, leaving the four priests and Ji Buyun.

Jinghu said to Ji Buyun: "Ji Gongzi?"

Ji Buyun pretended to be sorry and said: "The High Priest has decided to do so, and I have no choice, it seems that you can only find a few more people to discuss with the five people in power, but it really can't be done, in the name of the five people in power, it is not through the High Priest." ”

The four priests finally understood something, and their eyes lit up.
