Chapter 8 The Great Hall of the Ji Family
The sixth child followed the instructions of the eldest young master, led the two children to the steward's room, specially picked out two excellent clothes for them to change into, and then led them to walk far, far away before arriving at the main courtyard of the Ji Mansion, where there is a large hall, magnificent like a palace, just outside the main gate of the Yongdao Square is afraid that there are a hundred zhang square.
Every twenty paces, a waiter stands with a flag raised, and the ground is sprinkled with bluestone, so clean that it doesn't feel dirty when you lick it.
At this time, there were more than twenty people standing at the door, all of them were young people, dressed in short clothes, all of them had arrogant faces, obviously all of them had good skills, and there was a circular mark on the cyan gown, on which was a silver long sword. There were a few family members of the Ji Mansion next to them staring at them nervously, as if the other party was going to go up and pounce on them if they made a move.
The sixth man stepped forward and said a few words to the family, and a man ran into the main hall.
At this time, there were only four people sitting in the main hall, and the huge hall seemed extremely empty. Sitting high in the center was an old man dressed in white, who looked mighty, but his eyes were dull, and he was as drowsy as a prosthetic eye.
At the bottom sat a man, his head bowed. On the left-hand side of the guest seat, there were also two people sitting, an old man with a white beard and chest closed his eyes and his head up, as if asleep, and there was a young man beside him, with blazing eyes, staring at the old man in white upright, as if waiting for some answer.
At this moment, the master first stepped heavily on the 'Echo Stone' at the door, and a magnificent sound was heard, reminding everyone that he had something to report. The old man in white frowned, turned his face to the door and said, "There are distinguished guests here, who is messing around outside the door?" â
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Master Qiqi, the sixth young master brought two children, saying that the family members of the distinguished guests were lost, and they are now waiting outside the door." â
The old man in white glanced at the two guests below, then waved his hand and said, "Since it is a family member of a distinguished guest, please come in." â
The two guests were stunned, they didn't bring any family members, although there were a lot of people brought, but they were all some disciples who were ready to go down the mountain to experience, this time they came to Ji Mansion to take advantage of the relationship in Ji Lao's military camp, and asked him to arrange a few disciples to go in.
The young man stood up and tried to explain, but was suddenly stopped by the white-bearded old man. He also opened his eyes curiously, wanting to see what his 'family' looked like, and he also glanced at the old man in white sitting on the high seat, and he couldn't find anything abnormal in his eyes.
After receiving the order, the subordinates hurried out and brought in the sixth young master and the two children from time to time.
Tiansin looked around curiously, pretending to be an ignorant child, looking very excited, but in fact, he had no bottom in his heart, and he was a little drumming, the reason why he wanted to make up this nonsense was actually to see what the situation was in this Ji Mansion in another capacity, after all, he firmly believed in the people who knew his identity...... There may really be no one in the Ji Mansion.
The white-bearded old man looked at the Heavenly Sin from a distance, and found that it was a child with a big fart, which also made him wonder in his heart, he suspected that this was something designed by Ji Fu, as for the purpose...... He couldn't figure it out either.
And the young man did not have a city like the old man, and when he saw that it was two children walking in, he frowned and said, "You say this is our family? But why have I never met them? â
The old man in white raised his dazed eyelids and said, "Oh? Yes, but they were found in the Inner House, right? â
The latter sentence was said to the sixth young master, and the sixth hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I have seen grandpa, I have seen the third uncle, and I have seen all the distinguished guests." These two children were indeed lost in the inner house, and they were met by us halfway, which explained the situation, which brought about the recognition of the distinguished guests, and the Ji Mansion is indeed a little big, and it is normal for a few people to get lost. â
The young man was startled, his brows trembled a few times, and he secretly said 'not good' in his heart. In such a situation, why is it so like that his party arranged this big child to be a secret agent, and he was caught exploring the situation in Jifu? And the old man above just now did express that he hoped that their Heavenly Sword Sect would contribute a force to join the Ji Mansion...... A gate valve family wants to get the help of the birth sect, and it is self-evident what to do, and these two children ...... Is it a trick set by the other party to force himself to submit to the Heavenly Sword Sect?
'Humph! How could my dignified Heavenly Sword Sect be restrained by others?! â
Of course, Tiansin didn't know that his 'whim' would make everyone think so deeply, and even a little paranoid, at this time, he could only take one step at a time, shaking his head and constantly looking inside the hall, and at the same time carefully observing everyone's faces. As he was observing, he suddenly saw the middle-aged man sitting with his head bowed in the next position, just by seeing his side face, Tiansin immediately recognized it, this person was a mysterious man who had a two-sided relationship with him and helped him solve the siege!
'Third uncle? Just now this sixth child is indeed called that, so it seems...... The mute was his man, and sure enough, he sent it to feed him, and it seems that the woman before him was also his man, but...... Why did he help me like that? â
Heavenly Sin couldn't help muttering in his heart, and then deliberately amplified his voice to attract the other party's attention, and the other party really looked up at him, but as if he didn't know him, he only glanced at him and looked away.
The eyes of the whole audience were focused on the body of the Heavenly Sin, but there was only one exception, that was the white-bearded old man, his gaze was a little strange, first confused, then stunned, and finally full of surprise.
The white-bearded old man is Elder Guo of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he is regarded as the chief deacon of the Heavenly Sword Sect to the outside world, and he is also regarded as the 'person who has entered the world', so he is very clear about some news, for example, he can clearly feel the complex psychology of everyone now, and these thoughts are not groundless, nor is everyone too sensitive, but ...... Because of a rumor.
It is rumored that in the Ji Mansion, there is a treasure, which is thirty years ago, that is, twenty years after the era of the goddess, the 'demon fire' fell from the sky, breaking the heavenly array composed of millions of soldiers in the East Fence Country, 700,000 soldiers suffered when the demon fire came, and the East Fence Country General Xing Ji Wutian found a thing in the place where the demon fire fell, but it was not reported to the imperial court, but secretly brought home and hidden. Now, thirty years later, there are countless forces that want to get their hands on that thing, but few people know what it is.
Some say it's a divine stone, some say it's a sculpture, some say it's a heaven-shattering sword, some say it's a peerless power...... There are different opinions, which makes this thing more and more bizarre and mysterious, so more people want to get it.
So...... It was originally a taboo to enter the inner mansion of the Ji Mansion privately.
At this time, the white-bearded old man could assert that that treasure was definitely a sword, a huge and matchless, cold light restrained, and powerful peerless weapon! The reason for this conclusion is because he has 'seen it with his own eyes', right in front of him, a pink and lovely little girl, on his shoulder, the most delicate and gorgeous, the most awe-inspiring, and the giant sword that he has seen in his life!
Xiao Jian felt his 'hot' gaze, he was very uncomfortable, pouted and walked to the side of Heavenly Sin, and whispered: "Hey, look at that old man, always staring at me, weird and disgusting......"
The voice was very low, but the people present except for the sixth child, there were no ordinary people, and they could hear it clearly. The white-bearded old man was slightly stunned, and then his face turned red, a guy who claims to be a righteous gentleman will definitely not be able to stand the 'on-the-spot testimony' of such a cute little girl.
The young man next to him...... To be honest, he wanted to laugh, but after all, Elder Guo was a popular person in the door, and even his father's current door master was polite and ...... He couldn't laugh, but he couldn't hold back the discomfort, so he stood up abruptly and scolded loudly: "Rude junior, what are you talking about?!" â
Xiao Jian didn't care, and directly contradicted: "What? I'll just say I'll just say, just let you see, can you still say it? Hum! It's not ashamed that people who have grown so much beard still stare at me as a pretty little girl! â
After saying that, he made a grimace, and then ran directly behind Heavenly Sin to hide.
She is so cute, everyone knows that she should be angry at this time, but she really can't give birth, and the young man is also helpless, and suddenly he has an idea, and he turns the target to the body of Heavenly Sin.
"Is it you kid who said that you are a family member of our Heavenly Sword Sect? Who instructed you, and what is your purpose?! â
There's really no way to answer the heavenly sin, and now you can't say that you are the heir of the Ji family who is not treated well or even as the heir of the zĂ i, and then come out to mess around, right? And what he wanted to see, he had now seen it, and the information he wanted to get was all known to him without anyone knowing.
So he straightened up indifferently at this time, raised his head, and quietly looked at the old man who was also looking at him on the high seat, the two looked at each other, but no one let him, as if he was competing to see who blinked first would lose.
The impasse is waiting for someone to break it.
But it was Elder Guo who stood up first, left his seat very rudely, ran directly to the little sword, stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at the giant sword on her shoulder and asked, "This baby...... Is it yours? â
