Chapter Ninety-One: The Undeniable
Jian Shenyue was discovered by Jian Yu when he withdrew from the other courtyard, but because of the relationship between the same sect and the order of the Great Elder, he had to take care of Yun Ruowu in the other courtyard, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity for other tribes to attack.
Although the lights in the room had been extinguished, Jian Yu closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the wooden couch. At this moment, when he heard something strange in the courtyard outside the door, he guessed that Jian Shenyue had returned, and he whispered softly in the room.
Jian Mingyue stood at the door of the room and replied softly, "Senior Brother Yu, you haven't rested yet?" ”
"Where have you been so late?" Jian Yu asked with concern, although he knew that Jian Mingyue had been accompanying Yun Ruowu to play in Dragon City for the past few days, but traveling alone at night did cause him to have doubts, this fellow junior disciple had something to hide from him.
Jian Mingyue scratched her head and said with a wicked smile, "Senior Brother Yu, I went to a thatched house, but I didn't expect to wake you up." Of course, he didn't expect that before he turned out of the imperial city, Jian Yu noticed it when he just left the courtyard, and it was impossible for him to hide this senior brother from his casual nonsense.
"Going to the hut?" Jian Yu's unbelieving voice came from inside the room.
Jian Mingyue thought that Senior Brother had just been woken up by herself, so she continued to lie, "Yes, Senior Brother. ”
"Alright, you can rest early, too. Tomorrow morning, I will return to Qianren Peak with me. "Sword Feather didn't intend to expose Sword Styx's lies. During the day, he had already received a message from Du Pingye, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and immediately escorted Yun Ruowu to the eastern border.
"Huh?" Jian Shenyue originally planned to take the opportunity to explore Xuanlong Temple when Yun Ruowu and Zhang Jiuji went out to play together during the day. Now it's okay, Senior Brother Jian Yu's words to return to the East Tomorrow have disrupted his plans. "Does Elder Du know?" Sword Styx asked, still holding on to the last bit of fantasy.
As soon as the words were asked, Jian Mingyue regretted it, with his understanding of his cautious senior brother, if it wasn't for the Great Elder's orders, how could he act rashly.
Jian Yu suddenly jumped up from the wooden couch, stood quietly in the room, looked straight at Jian Mingyue at the door, and said softly, "Okay, the hour is not early, you go to rest quickly." ”
"Yes, brother. You also rest early. Jian Shenyue turned and left the door, and walked quickly back to his room.
In the early morning of the next day, Longcheng was still as prosperous and lively as ever, and the streets were not affected by yesterday's Molong fireworks, and there were only a lot of officials from the Longcheng government on the streets.
In the courtyard of the Vientiane tribe of Linze Palace, Yun Ruowu, Jian Yu, and Jian Mingyue began to pack up after breakfast.
Jian Mingyue gave Yun Ruowu a few pieces of clothes that he carried, plus some rewards from Emperor Ming sent by Gonggong Du, Yun Ruowu packed up two or three burdens, and Jian Yu was just a few regular clothes of the sect that were changed and washed on weekdays.
"Senior Brother Yu, why don't you see Elder Du?" Yun Ruowu put down his burden on the stone bench under the pine tree in the courtyard, looked left and right, and never found Du Pingye's figure, which was completely different from the previous two days, even if Du Pingye didn't come to take a look, he would send someone to ask about the situation in the courtyard.
Jian Yu picked up his burden with his sword in his right hand and put it on his shoulder, walked out of the room, and replied as he walked, "The Great Elder has gone to the Ministry of Officials, and the elders and deacons of various tribes are drawing up a list in the Ministry of Officials today. ”
Although Jian Yu didn't say it explicitly, Yun Ruowu also knew in his heart that this list was the eight tribes going to Tianyun Mountain to investigate the matter of Yuntian Sect together, but he, a disciple of the real Yuntian Sect, wanted to sneak away at this time.
"Don't think about it, everyone will definitely help you find out the real culprit and avenge Yuntian Sect." Jian Mingyue looked at Yun Ruowu, who had a sad face, and said with relief.
"Is it appropriate for us to sneak away like this?" Although Yun Ruowu was a little self-reproachful, he couldn't attend the meeting of the Ministry of Officials to draw up the list, but when he held the Baiyun Sword in his right hand, he remembered the tragic situation on Tianyun Mountain and Dongshan that night.
"Didn't we go secretly, didn't we already report to the emperor? He doesn't object, what else will anyone else say? ”。 Jian Shenyue was afraid that Yun Ruowu would be cranky, so he sat on the side, and then said, "Elder Du arranged this way to prevent those who are hiding in the shadows from waiting for an opportunity to attack you. ”
"Start?" Yun Ruowu's face changed suddenly, and he remembered the begonia tree in the mountain behind the imperial city that night. The whole person began to tremble, he turned his head to look at the soft-eyed Sword Styx Moon, and said nervously, "Senior Brother Styx Moon, will I be affected by following you!" ”
"This ......" Jian Yu put the burden on the carriage, turned to look at Yun Ruowu, and recalled those two words "Lian Lian", it was his reply to the master a few days ago, if Yun Ruowu went to the Remnant Sword Tower, it would inevitably attract the attention of the group of people who slaughtered Yun Tianzong.
"How so?" Jian Shenyue waved his hand, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and then comforted Yun Ruowudao, "Don't forget that the Vientiane tribe is the largest tribe in the eastern realm, and there are fifty thousand tribal guards in the territory alone, not to mention the seven major gates. ”
Hearing that the sword and the moon were meeting made Yun Ruowu feel at ease, and his mouth was like a river, and the big words continued. Jian Yu, who was standing under the stone arch, tapped lightly on the carriage, "Are you still finished?" If you don't leave, you can just sleep in the wilderness. ”
"Got it, Senior Brother Yu." Yun Ruowu and Jian Shenyue helped each other to get up from the stone bench and came to the carriage with their baggage.
"Put your stuff away, and we're leaving." After Jian Yu saw the two of them get into the car, he whispered to the Vientiane clan guards behind him, "Out of the Imperial City Gate, go directly to Beifang, go straight to Jinding Mountain out of Beicheng." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Yu." The guards next to the frame said respectfully.
In order to get rid of the covetousness of the clan gatekeepers, Jian Yu chose the most difficult mountain path, and according to the usual route, they had to pass through the Jinding Wasteland and drive into the wasteland from the southern grassland. But it passed through the territory of the two major tribes of Feihe and Blood Lion, even if it was the fiefdom of the relatives of the royal family of the Li clan.
In order to reduce the resistance to return to the eastern realm, Jian Yu chose to go out of the north gate of Dragon City, directly over the Jinding Mountain Range, and after crossing the mountains, he could directly reach the eastern realm, where the disciples of the Remnant Sword Tower had already come to pick him up.
The frame slowly drove out of the gate of the Xiyuan Palace of Linze Palace, and the guards of the palace guard saw that it was the frame of the Vientiane tribe and did not block it, so they let it go directly.
Although it is the Vientiane tribe among the eight tribes, it is also a vassal territory of the imperial dynasty, and the forbidden army can still search it appropriately on the grounds of protecting the imperial city. But if the chief administrator of the inner court confessed early in the morning, even if any of them were blinded by lard, they would not dare to step forward to stop them.
Yun Ruowu sat at the frame window, gently lifted the curtain of the window, and glanced back at the towering Longque Temple and the magnificent city wall not far away.
"Senior Brother Stygian Moon, will you come here again in the future?" Yun Ruowu looked at the white marble road that the ruts had crossed, and asked in a low voice.
"What are you doing back here?" Jian Mingyue's right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the matter of going to Xuanlong Temple had to be stopped.
