Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Storm and Storm
The East Courtyard of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
"The eldest prince, the surname Ji is too arrogant, it's hard to say whether he is really from Jijiazhuang, even if it is true, the eldest prince came to visit in person, you look at the attitude of that kid, he doesn't take the eldest prince seriously. Liu Xian looked indignant, looked at An Shaojie who was half lying on the soft collapse and said.
An Shaojie sat up suddenly, pointed at Liu Xian and scolded, "You are still the commander of the city guards sponsored by me, and you can't even hold your breath for this little thing!"
"Aren't I afraid that you will be wronged, son!" Liu Xian's face was full of grievances.
"Hmph, who can make me feel wronged in Aoki City except for my father!"
"Then, what should that kid do, just let him collude with the little boy?" Liu Xian was puzzled.
"If he is really from Jijiazhuang, then it will be easy to do, An Shaowen must have touched a nose of ashes, how could someone with such a big force take a fancy to our small Aoki City. If he is fake, then it is better to find a way to expose the conspiracy between him and An Shaowen, and my father will help me deal with him. We don't need to spend a single soldier, we just have to wait. An Shaowen said with a sneer.
"So how can you prove that he is true or false?"
"Don't worry, I already have a way!"
Early in the morning, Jiang Hua, who had finished meditating and practicing, had just walked to the lobby of the inn when he saw An Shaowen sitting at the door steadily, and when he saw him appear, An Shaowen hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Jiang Hua's good impression of An Shaowen has deepened a little, he is in a high position, but he knows how to be considerate of others, he did not take the initiative to disturb himself but chose to wait, good quality.
An Shaowen didn't know that his reverence was regarded as a good quality of treating people, in fact, Jiang Hua himself didn't turn a corner, he still didn't understand the status of his identity in the eyes of others, but An Shaowen was indeed a second-generation official with pure conduct, and Jiang Hua didn't see the wrong person.
An Shaowen led Jiang Hua around the streets and alleys of Aoki City, he was actually the first time to be a tour guide, Jiang Hua's preferences were not clear to him, and Jiang Hua only said that he walked casually, and there was no purpose, the two walked and chatted for a morning and traveled around most of Aoki City.
At An Shaowen's suggestion, Jiang Hua accepted the gift from An Shaojie, two plates of golden beans, two plates of jade ornaments, and a robe made of fine brocade. Jiang Hua handed over all the herbs on his body to An Shaowen and asked him to help him send them to An Shaojie, saying that he would exchange the herbs for some entanglement, and the two would not owe each other.
"It seems that this world also has gold in circulation, and the value of things is not much like the earth. Carrying a burden full of gold and jade, Jiang Hua did not have the satisfaction of a rich man, in this world, wealth can no longer touch his originally poor heart, only his own strength is his highest pursuit now.
"Brother Hua, do you still remember the situation in Wutuo Mountain at that time?" In the box on the top floor of a restaurant, An Shaowen and Jiang Hua were chatting while eating.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Hua was puzzled.
"It's the anomaly of those bandits, and Ma San. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Jiang Hua was also a little curious.
"On that day, I used a strategy with Dongsheng to go up the mountain, Ma San was slapped by me and flew away, who knew that after a bell sounded, Ma San seemed to have changed as a person, his cultivation increased sharply, and he became not afraid of pain, so I escaped down the mountain and was rescued by you. There are also those ordinary bandits, all of whom have strange expressions, like puppets without thoughts, only with the instinct to kill. An Shaowen recalled.
"As soon as you say this, it seems to be the case, I feel that Ma San is not quite right, the cultivation does not match his body style, and the wooden brain was seriously injured by my palm, there must be a problem. Jiang Hua also felt that the situation at that time was not quite right.
"These situations remind me of some things, Brother Hua, you are from a big force and are well-informed, listen to my analysis. ”
Jiang Hua's old face turned red, and he was almost ashamed to get under the table, but now he couldn't reveal his true identity, so he could only stand up.
"Tell me about it. ”
"That's what the people of Aoki City have passed on by word of mouth, probably more than three hundred years ago, a large number of disappearances suddenly began to appear in Aoki City, and the city lord at that time tried his best to investigate but had no clue, and the entire city was panicked. It is also said that Aoki Castle is lucky, an unknown monk master passed by Aoki Castle, learned of this and personally cast a spell to pursue the truth, and found that all the missing people died in a secret cave thousands of miles away from the city. This monk master destroyed the cave with a wave of his sleeves, and shocked out a half-human, half-ghost evil cultivator, the monk's predecessor made a flying sword and fought with the evil cultivator for three days, and finally beheaded the evil cultivator under the sword. When that evil cultivator was holding a bell and fighting with that senior, I later heard that senior tell me that that evil cultivator was an outcast of the "ghost gate" who used evil exercises to capture the souls of the dead and practice evil skills, and that bell was a magic weapon that could capture people's souls and control people who cultivated below themselves. The missing people in Aoki City were all controlled by the evil cultivators who infiltrated secretly and left on their own. So, since then, Aoki Castle has had a rule of not welcoming monks of unknown origin, and my father has followed this old rule since he entered Aoki Castle. ”
An Shaowen told Jiang Hua everything he knew in one go.
"Are you suspicious that another evil cultivator has appeared and controlled the bandits in Wutuo Mountain?" Jiang Hua asked.
"I'm not sure, so the stakes are so high, I only mentioned it to my father, and I can't talk nonsense about things that have no evidence, because if the people know about them, they will cause riots. An Shaowen said with some concern.
"You did the right thing, you do ask for proof before you can be sure, but I can't do anything, although I am from Jijiazhuang, I am just an ordinary disciple, I have not heard of such things, and I can't help you verify it. Jiang Hua said without blushing and without a beat.
"I can only wait and say it first, I hope my guess is wrong!" An Shaowen said helplessly.
"Or, in a little while, you and I will go and investigate again to see what is going on. Jiang Hua saw that An Shaowen was worried, and he was impulsive, and opened his mouth to say something that made him regret it a little.
"Really, that's the best, Brother Hua, I want to thank you for the people of Aoki City!" An Shaowen was very excited.
"Of course, it is the duty of cultivators like us to eliminate demons, so I don't need to thank you anymore!" Jiang Hua rushed the ducks to the shelves, and he still had righteous words in his mouth, but he regretted it again and again in his heart, he really had nothing to do.
An Shaowen, who was very excited, pulled Jiang Hua away, saying that he wanted to introduce Jiang Hua to his father immediately, and before he could go downstairs, Dongsheng's figure appeared at the staircase, and Dongsheng brought news that the city lord invited Jiang Hua to enter the mansion, and tonight he was going to set up a banquet to entertain the monks from Jijiazhuang.
"It must be An Shaojie who reported your father first, it's okay, I want to see what tricks An Shaojie wants to play, Brother Hua will join me in the house for the banquet tonight!" An Shaowen said to Jiang Hua.
"Since the city lord invited, I can only obey my fate, so I'll see you at night!" After speaking, Jiang Hua said goodbye and left.
"Dongsheng, you help me analyze and analyze, what tricks will An Shaojie play?" An Shaowen didn't like these intrigues, and didn't want to use his brains to think about it, so he would recruit the smart and clever Dongsheng to be his strategist by chance.
"Childe, I think it's nothing more than looking for someone to test Mr. Ji's strength to see if he is true or not. ”
"Hehe, if that's the case, then it's his An Shaojie's own hardship, Brother Hua's strength, hum, I'm going to see An Shaojie's bitter gourd face tonight!haha!"
The dinner party in the Castle Lord's Mansion was not yet ready, and a shocking piece of news had spread wildly in Aoki City.
The Valley of the Divine Flame seized the family heirloom of the Aoki Castle Ki Family Medical Hall by insidious means. In just one sentence, it spread rapidly like a virus, and soon spread throughout the city, the Valley of Divine Flames, treasures, can only be used as after-dinner conversations, when the Valley of Divine Flames is associated with the word treasure, and the word seizure is also used, people with a heart immediately understand that this is earth-shattering news.
The East Courtyard of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
"Go and get Mu Yan for me immediately!" An Shaojie ordered Liu Xian with a gloomy face.
Lack of moon building top floor attic.
"What do you think?"
"Watch what ......happens," a soft, pleasant female voice replied in a lazy tone.
A private residence in Aoki Castle.
"Which bastard spread the rumor, immediately send someone to investigate, and then send a secret letter back to the valley, explain the situation, and ask the valley owner to send a few elders out of the mountain, I think something big is going to happen. ”
"Yes!"
A piece of news has affected how many forces in the open and in the dark, and for a while, the undercurrent of Aoki City was surging, and countless secret letters spread out of Aoki City through various channels and were transmitted in all directions.
The heart of the turbulent storm, the city lord's mansion, is a busy and festive atmosphere, the city lord is going to hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to entertain distinguished guests, and the protagonist of the stirring storm is also the distinguished guest invited by the city lord, our Jiang Hua master, but at this time he is sitting leisurely in the room meditating and cultivating, waiting for the night to fall.
