Chapter 9: Returning Home

"Stinky, still hard-mouthed. Look at the hardness of your mouth or the hardness of my whip. With that, a jailer slammed a woman hard.

At this time, the woman's clothes were in tatters, her hair was messy, there were still blood marks on her face, and the corners of her mouth were still dripping blood.

His face was pale and he looked weak, yes, this was the Yiren who was captured that day.

At this time, the Yiren no longer have the same fierceness as they used to be.

"Hmph, dog mongrel, I'm phew." Iren spat out a mouthful of phlegm in the jailer's face.

"You still dare to spit on me, I think you are impatient." The jailer said fiercely, and whipped it again.

Yiren was in unbearable pain and fainted.

"My lord, this man has fainted," the jailer said with his fists clenched at the man who walked in.

"You go down first," said a man in his forties, dressed in a black brocade robe, who had a sinister smile on his face, dark blue, as if he had been poisoned.

This person who is called an adult is a doctor of the court, who holds the power of the army, and his sister is the princess of the king of the court.

When this person reached the age of thirty, he became the left general of Chaoge, and once led a large army to the north, defeating thousands of troops of the northern barbarians with dozens of shadow troops, and was respected as the left god of war.

He is Zuo Yan, a name that trembles up and down the song, and a person who makes the people cheer.

Zuo Yan's sister Zuo Wu entered the harem after her brother became famous in the first battle, became the concubine of the king of songs, and indulged in singing and dancing with the king of songs every day.

Since then, the king of the court has ignored the government and politics, bought drunk every night, made a mess in the court, and colluded with officials to oppress the loyal and good.

Among them, the Left Alliance, headed by Zuo Yan, controls the government and government, and everyone in the court is in danger.

"The mouth is quite strict, but it's useless to be strict, when I find your child, I'll see what else you can do." Zuo Yan smiled sinisterly.

With that, he walked out slowly.

"You, wake her up, and continue to flog and serve." Zuo Yan said.

"Yes, sir," the jailer said, bowing and bending.

After a while, I heard a heart-rending roar coming from inside the cell.

"My lord, this person is the apprentice of Jing Tian, the holder of the Jianghu Order. After Jing Tian's death, only she knew the whereabouts of Jianghu Ling. A man next to him said.

"Elder Gu, you have done a good job this time, as long as your Supreme Alliance and my Left Alliance join forces, our goal of dominating the world is just around the corner. When the time comes, you will be the hero, and I will hand over the entire rivers and lakes to you to manage. Zuo Yan said.

This Gu Lao is the right protector of the Supreme Alliance, and the power in his hands is second only to the leader of the alliance, Jiang Shan, and he is a ruthless master, and it was his idea to assassinate Jing Tian in the first place.

"Master Xie, cooperating with adults will definitely be successful," Gu Lao said with a pat on the back.

"Hahaha, let's go," Zuo Yan laughed and left the prison, followed by Gu Lao, leaving one after another.

Early the next morning, Ji Zhan packed his luggage, pushed open the door of Xiao Zhukan's room, and saw the sleeping Xiao Zhukan and his second sister-in-law, and gently closed the door, for fear of waking up the two of them.

After leaving the main hall, Ji Zhan turned around and glanced at the main hall behind him.

Silently walked down the mountain.

The cold wind gusted, and Ji Zhan, who was blowing, couldn't help but yawn, and his snot flowed out.

"It seems that it's still cold on the mountain," Ji Zhan said weakly.

It's still a long way to go home, and I just walked down from the mountain, so I can't help but feel a little anxious. Ji Zhan comforted himself.

After about two hours, Ji Zhan came to the bottom of the mountain, and looked at the barren and grassless nearby, only to know that he had gone in the wrong direction.

I want to turn around and go back, but it feels like a waste of time to climb the mountain again.

At this time, Ji Zhan found that there was a figure in the woods in the distance, so Ji Zhan immediately ran up.

An old man was seen holding a flock of sheep, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, a straw hat on his head, and a coarse linen shirt.

But he moves vigorously, and he doesn't look like an elderly person at all.

"Old man," Ji Zhan called forward.

The old man watched Ji Zhan walk towards him, smiled at Ji Zhan and nodded.

"Young man, what is the old man to do?" The old man asked.

"Old man, I want to ask where this is?" Ji Zhan asked.

"This is the place where the tribe mountain tribe has lived for generations." The old man said excitedly.

Tribal mountain tribes? How come I've never heard of it,

"Old man, which country does this belong to?" Ji Zhan asked patiently.

"It's an independent tribe, it doesn't belong to any country, it's the border of several neighboring countries."

"Like Nanzhan Kingdom, as well as Dashang Kingdom, Jiang Kingdom, Dongsheng Kingdom and Aolai Country, we are in the area where these countries meet." The old man said with a smile. The beard is gray and moves with the wind.

So many countries at the junction? So why didn't the tribe divide into these countries? Ji Zhan wondered, no matter so much for now, finding the way home is the most important. Presumably, the Iraqi have been waiting at home for a long time.

"Old man, in which direction is the Great Shang Country?" Ji Zhan asked.

"Northeast," the old man replied.

"Thank you, old man," Ji Zhan said excitedly.

Turn around and run to the northeast.

"Young man, now that there are heavy guards from the Shang State over there, not even a fly can fly out now." The old man added.

"Why is that? I've been to Aolai Country before, and I've never heard of a situation where there are heavy guards and still won't let me. Ji Zhan said.

"Now it's different from the past, now the big merchant country is leviing taxes on us, and we have to pay tribute, we oppose it, so we will send troops to suppress us, and now the two armies are facing each other, and the merchants and travelers in the past can't go out." The old man said wistfully.

After listening to what the old man said, Ji Zhan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was in the tribe and mountain clan, but all he heard were rumors that some big businessmen were bad, and he didn't think it was true when he heard Mo and other gossip earlier, and he also felt that because he was from other countries, he would squeeze big businessmen.

But now, I have some complaints about what the king of songs has done.

But I don't pay much attention to the affairs of the country, I just want to take care of the people I love.

I can't get out now, so I can only rest here and see if the national contradictions are resolved before leaving.

"Old man, is there an inn here?" asked Ji Zhan.

"Young man, if it's still early today, you see there is a small cabin over there, I live alone, you can go and rest, just stay here with me for the next two days, it's too chaotic outside, it's not safe." The old man replied.

"What's so embarrassing about that," Ji Zhan denied.

"It's okay, you should be a companion with the old man, and when you are released over there, you can just go." The old man said with a smile.

Seeing that the old man was so enthusiastic, Ji Zhan couldn't shirk it, and smiled and nodded at the old man.

"Thank you, old man," Ji Zhan said.

After that, he walked towards the cabin, and when he entered the cabin, Ji Zhan saw that the room was very simple, only a bed and a table were placed, and he was suddenly very sad.

I think this old man is too pitiful, there is only a flock of sheep left in the house besides the old man, and only this flock of sheep and the old man are companions. Spend a few more days with the old man, and you can repay the old man's kindness. Ji Zhan sighed.

After walking for such a long time, I was indeed a little tired, and I fell asleep while lying on the old man's bed.

In the dream, Yiren, he and his children, the three of them snuggled together and were very happy.

However, it didn't take long for this dream to wake up, and the reason was that it was too cold.

It's autumn and winter yet, why is it so deserted?

Is it because I am still struggling with not being able to go home early?

Ji Zhan was surprised.

There was nothing he could do about this situation, and after thinking about it for a long time, Ji Zhan's heart gradually became calm.

"Since you can't go home early, let's stay in peace for a few days," Ji Zhan said to himself.

Suddenly, Ji Zhan saw that the light yarn falling on the bed was an exercise given to him by the Taoist in Tsing Yi.

I have nothing to do now, so I might as well practice according to this exercise and see how it goes.

Ji Zhan had practiced some unpopular martial arts before, and now he looked at it seriously and felt very shocked.

[Heaven Breaking Divine Palm] is divided into nine styles in total, and each style is divided into nine levels, and only after the ninth level is broken through is it a great achievement, and it can be even more difficult to enter the next type of cultivation.

Cultivators must strengthen their internal forces and meridians in order to control the Heaven Breaking Divine Palm, if one condition is not met, they will explode and die because they cannot support its powerful power.

Ji Zhan looked at this exercise, and felt that it was so difficult, if he was not careful, he would die, in that case, what should Yiren and his son do, he can't take such a risk now.

Ji Zhan sighed when he thought about it.

Slowly turned it over and saw the Kyushu sword formation behind it.

Ji Zhan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately, the Kyushu Sword Formation is not so difficult, and with the blessing of external forces, it can be operated, but the power is much weaker. "I heard the Taoist of Tsing Yi say, the world is not peaceful now, it seems that something big will happen soon, and I have to arm myself for the sake of Yiren and my son,"

Ji Zhan walked outside the door with his bronze sword statue, and waved it in a blink of an eye, and Ji Zhan, who came down several times, felt that he couldn't grasp the point. Although it has a certain amount of power, every time it comes to the final blow, my heart aches faintly. I don't know why.

Ji Zhan sat on the ground, holding his chest, rubbing hard, breathing heavily, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.

Unconsciously, an afternoon passed, the sun was setting in the west, and the old people and sheep in the distance were daring to come, forming a very beautiful picture against the backdrop of the sunset.

Even Ji Zhan watched it.

After the old man has locked up all the sheep. Ji Zhan watched the old man say a few words to the sheep and touched the sheep's head.

This made Ji Zhan very surprised.

Could it be that the uncle is talking to the sheep?

"Young man, you haven't eaten yet, I'll make it for you." The old man said.

"Uncle, don't be so anxious, were you talking to the sheep just now?" Ji Zhan asked puzzled.

"Yes, young man, I have been herding sheep since I was a child, and I have been thinking about how to communicate with them, but I can't, and then I learned it by accident, if you want to learn it, I can teach you." The old man said enthusiastically.

"No need, old man, let's talk about it after we finish eating, I'll cook," Ji Zhan said, and ran in.

The old man looked at Ji Zhan and felt full of joy, because this young man was too similar to his son.

But helplessly, his son is dead, even in the image.

The old man shook his head and walked inside.
