The sky was full of snow and frost, and the Northern Demon Plains in autumn returned to its former appearance. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The sea in the distance was dark and gloomy, and the cold and damp sea breeze was wrapped in fragments of ice ballast, spreading layers of crystal white on the earth.
In sight, several tall ships sailed through the early morning fog towards Fort Sorge, waking up the quiet docks.
After the big ship docked, the laborers on the wharf, dressed in thick cotton clothes, came to load and unload the goods happily, and the wharf of Fort Rest became crowded and noisy, and the ground was trampled on spots and muddy.
The red-faced old Gide changed his usual leisure, and hurriedly walked into the gate of the resting fort with his retinue escort.
Five years ago, a coup d'Γ©tat occurred in the Rus Empire, the Habs family was implicated, and it quickly declined, and the business empire created by one hand collapsed in an instant, and the Autumn Moon Chamber of Commerce was also divided by rivals. When the old Gide heard the news, he didn't dare to return to China, so he weighed it again and again, and finally chose to take refuge in the Northern Demon Yuan and became a steward of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, responsible for part of the trade between the Northern Demon Yuan and the outside world. Of course, his secret mission is to travel back and forth between the two places to transmit information for the Alliance.
At first, he was also worried that his defection to the Northern Demon Plains would attract the retaliation of the Rus Empire, and whoever thought that the entire Moya forces, big and small, did not seem to want to involve this behemoth far away from the war in the war. And because he was worried that someone would frame the blame, the alliance chamber of commerce would make the local managers nervous everywhere they went, and they almost arranged for someone to protect Lao Jide every step of the way, which made him very proud in his heart.
Compared to the noise outside, the rest of the castle was very quiet, and the people who came here to conduct business deliberately kept a low profile, and they all knew the rules of the owner.
Gid asked his retinue to wait downstairs, walked up to the second floor, turned right in the hall, and walked inside. Then, he explained his intention to the guards, and after obtaining permission, he was led to Ji Tieyi's office.
After the ceremony, he was brought into the room by Ji Tieyi's guards.
The room was large in size, and the interior was simply furnished and deserted, with some decorative swords hanging on the walls on both sides, a dozen cold armor bodies on the ground, and some tall closet bookshelves with books and items. On the ground near the window was a thick woolen blanket, on which was placed a large and comfortable seat, a small table, where to sit, just in time to overlook the snowy world of the Northern Demon Plain.
On the innermost platform, there is a simple and atmospheric wooden carved table, which Jide recognizes as the finest paulownia wood material, which is full of letters and documents from all over the world.
Hearing the sound of slowly approaching footsteps, she glanced up, her gaze was deep and bright, as if it had penetrated into people's hearts, and Gid's heart was excited, but there was a natural smile on her face.
He stopped lightly and saluted Ji Tieyi. For some reason, every time he saw Ji Tieyi, Gide couldn't say how nervous he was, although the other party was only in his early 20s, the contradictory temperament of handsome and demonic coexistence, as well as his unique voice, always gave people a mysterious and unique sense of majesty, making everyone standing in front of her feel nervous for no reason.
"Mr. Gide, what is the matter with me?" Ji Tieyi lowered her head and asked as she wrote, her voice still low and powerful, perhaps noticing Gide's nervousness, and her tone was not as stiff as usual.
"My lord, when I went back this time, I received a message from Beiyan from a gray sparrow!"
"Oh, what's the news?" The quill in Ji Tieyi's hand rustled. The Grey Sparrow Bounty Regiment was sent back to Moya by Sang Baihua three years ago, responsible for setting up the alliance's intelligence network, the original leader Li Yuanru was replaced by Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan was thoughtful and powerful, he broke through the seventh level three years ago and became an eighth-level swordsman. The gray sparrows who returned to Moya, except for Mei Dongli and Ah Ye, are all new members, some are from Dark Feather, some are from the four major families, in short, some people are rich, and now they have developed into Moya's fifth-ranked bounty group.
"There is a strange young man in the city of Ask, who may have something to do with the missing Nanda." Gide replied respectfully.
The rustling of writing stopped, and the silence in the room was terrible, and then a trill full of surprise suddenly sounded:
"What do you say? You repeat? β
"Ahem, there is a strange young man in the city of Qianshi, who is somewhat similar to the missing Nanda, but, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Ji Tieyi threw away the pen in his hand with a snap, stood up suddenly, and strode in front of Jide, but suddenly found that his body was trembling slightly.
"You sit down first and speak slowly!" Ji Tieyi tried his best to make his voice calm and soft.
"According to the gray sparrow, that young man's name is Jiang Du, he is a fisherman, I heard that he was fished out of the river five years ago, he seems to be a little silly, but he is born with divine power, martial arts, and unique martial arts, in this year's Beiyan recruit competition, he won the title of the king of soldiers, and he is quite influential among the Beiyan military and civilians!"
"He joined the army?" Ji Tieyi raised his eyebrows, and then showed a hint of curiosity:
"What does it mean that the martial arts are unique?"
"I heard that he didn't use a weapon in the competition, either with a fist or a slap!" Gide had a strange expression, and replied that a slap can also bring a champion, and it is estimated that he has heard of it for the first time.
"Slap in the face?" Ji Tieyi suddenly remembered the scene that happened in the Iron Cloak Castle, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, like an ice flower blooming, and Ji De was dumbfounded.
Ji Tieyi didn't care about Jide's expression, and said leisurely:
"What do you mean by just?"
Jide has a lot of experience, and when he saw Ji Tieyi's abnormal gaffe several times, he didn't understand her thoughts, so he hurriedly replied:
"Yes, that's right, this Jiang Du is very different from Nanda's appearance, and I heard that he doesn't remember anything from the past at all. So ......"
"How different is the appearance?" Ji Tieyi didn't quite understand what Old Gide meant.
"Yes, according to the gray sparrow, this ginger is 1.9 meters tall and has dark skin, which does not resemble Nanda-sama in the slightest."
"Oh." Ji Tieyi looked a little disappointed, and said lightly: "Well, I know about this matter, Mr. Gide has been running all the way, and he has worked hard, so let's go down and rest first!" β
"My lord, then I'll take my leave!" Seeing that Ji Tieyi was uneasy, Jide hurriedly said goodbye.
After Gide left, Ji Tieyi sat on the window seat, frowning, looking out the window in contemplation, and the two maids saw her appearance, looked at each other, covered their mouths and chuckled.
Suddenly, Ji Tieyi, who had been silent for a long time, changed his face and exclaimed:
"It's him!" (To be continued.) )
