Chapter 11: A Woman's Careful Thoughts (Seeking to Follow-up)
At the entrance of a mansion in Xinzheng, Zhang Ji met with a jeweler who had previously traded gold, silver and jade, and took over the title deed of the mansion from him.
It's a small mansion, but it's worth a thousand dollars.
And this mansion does not have any luxurious furniture and decoration, not even a single servant, even if it is located in the royal capital Xinzheng, the usual price will not exceed three hundred gold.
However, there is a reason why it is expensive.
The reason why this house dares to sell for a thousand gold is because of its superior geographical location.
Because this mansion is located near the royal palace.
Xinzheng is the safest place in South Korea, and the vicinity of the royal palace is the safest place in Xinzheng, not to mention the forbidden army stationed, and the city defense army often patrols the vicinity, so it is normal for the price to be more expensive.
Originally, a mansion in this kind of location was definitely not qualified for Zhang Ji to buy, but who let the original owner of this mansion be Han Wangan's third brother An Pingjun.
Due to the increasing expenses of the house, An Pingjun himself spent a high price to buy rare treasures such as keel, ice silkworm, and Tianshan Snow Lotus to make dragon bone eight treasures soup in order to prolong his life, which led to less and less money in the treasury, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, and conspired with his younger brother Longquanjun to steal a full 30,000 taels of military salary.
It's a pity that with the help of Wei Zhuang and Zinu, Han Fei saw through the plan of the two, and An Pingjun and Longquanjun were assassinated by Ji Wuye's "Nightfall" in the name of ghost soldiers because they lost their use value.
After the death of the two, Han Wangan remembered the old relationship, but only took back the fief and confiscated the property, but did not recover the mansions that originally belonged to the two.
In order to make ends meet, An Pingjun's family had to start selling the houses left behind by An Pingjun. Originally, the sale of just a few mansions was enough to maintain a normal livelihood, but An Pingjun's family could not change their habit of spending lavishly when An Pingjun was alive, and gradually even the mansion near the palace was entrusted to the tooth shop for sale, and Zhang Ji entrusted the jeweler to buy it.
After settling this house, Zhang Ji took Flame Lingji to visit the market in Xinzheng.
On the way here, Flame Spirit Ji mentioned this Xinzheng City more than once.
According to her, she wanted to see how prosperous the capital of the Koreans who destroyed Baiyue was, but at this moment she was not at all interested in coming.
Flame Lingji, dressed in fiery red light armor, walked absentmindedly on the streets of Xinzheng with her hands behind her back.
Different from the barren and dilapidated rest of South Korea, Xinzheng, as the capital of a country, naturally has a prosperous atmosphere as a national capital. There was an endless stream of pedestrians, street vendors and pawns were hawking, and the people had heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Most of the people who can live in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, will not be poor people who can't afford to eat, after all, this high housing price alone can kill countless people.
Zhang Ji glanced at Flame Lingji, who was like an angry little daughter-in-law, and the jade foot wrapped in a pair of black boots kicked a small pebble one by one, even through a veil, Zhang Ji could feel Flame Lingji's small emotions.
Also, when she first came to Xinzheng, she met Bai Yifei, who was like a natural enemy, and because of someone's poor driving skills, she was in a bad state and was slightly inferior in gladiatorial fighting.
Well, at least Flame Spirit Ji herself thinks it's just a little inferior because she's not in the state.
Zhang Ji was embarrassed to break her illusion directly, just now when he used his internal force to disperse Bai Yifei's cold air, he roughly sensed the realm around Bai Yifei's body.
The icy cold air and restrained aura isolated his perception, but combined with the strength of the original Bai Yifei to easily single-handedly take on the Baiyue Five, at least he has the strength of the first-class realm.
It's just that Zhang Ji really doesn't understand why Bai Yifei has that wonderful connection with Flame Spirit Ji, just like a small animal's induction to a predator.
Could it be that in addition to the Baiyue treasure, what else does Flame Spirit Ji have on her body that attracts Bai Yifei?
Flame Spirit Ji didn't say, and he didn't ask.
After a few days of getting along, his relationship with Flame Spirit Ji was delicate.
Flame Spirit Ji no longer had the same strong vigilance against him as she did at the beginning, but she was willing to stay by Zhang Ji's side honestly, in addition to the shock of the startling salamander, she still wanted to find out the whereabouts of Tianze from Zhang Ji's mouth.
As for Zhang Ji, it is true that he is the body of the Flame Spirit Queen, but he will not use strength. He also knew that Flame Spirit Ji stayed by his side because he had his own careful thoughts, but he didn't break it.
For example, the special marks of Baiyue left by Flame Lingji along the way in the past few days, and for example, she used the excuse of being in a bad mood, but in fact, she went to see those witches of Baiyue...... These machines are all clear.
……
Xinzheng Chengxi
The slender fiery red figure of the flame spirit Ji shuttled through the alleys, there were no luxurious wine shops on the streets of the east of the city, no dazzling goods, no luxurious cars and horses, and no wealthy nobles in brocade and jade clothes.
Most first-time visitors to Xinzheng would never have imagined that the scene of Xinzheng, the royal capital of South Korea, has two completely different extremes.
Lu Lane in the west of the city is a place where the cloth cloth people live, there is only a vegetable market and basically only sell staple foods, and not many merchants are willing to set up shop here, they do not think they can make a few bucks from these cloth people.
In the remote and gloomy alley, Flame Spirit Ji stopped running, her mouth opened slightly and exhaled turbidity, calming her heart rate increased by running, adjusting her breathing, and a pair of light blue beautiful eyes swept to another shadow.
There was not even a single figure in this remote alley, only the dull chirping of some unknown bird, accompanied by the bleak cold wind, like a bitter whimper, telling the others a deep grievance.
Suddenly, a faint milky white mist drifted into the alley from outside the alley, and this remote alley was shrouded in a blur.
A tiny piece of paper slowly fell from the sky, and the silent cold wind swayed, knocking the paper to the ground. As the pieces of paper landed, more and more pieces of paper appeared in the blink of an eye, and they were densely sprinkled in the dark night with overwhelming momentum, and a rain of pieces of paper fell.
If any people saw this strange scene, they would definitely be so frightened that they would ask Taoist disciples to exorcise evil spirits.
A pair of cyan eyes emerged from the white mist, and then a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the rain of paper.
Jingle bells!
Jingle bells!
Jingle bells!
The crisp copper bell sounded in his ears, and the tall figure appeared in front of Flame Spirit Ji.
At that time, a tall man in a wide hat held a copper rod with a copper bell hanging from it, and the high spread covered his face, revealing only thin purple lips.
Lips curled slightly, smiling.
It's just that the smile is full of silver evil energy, and people are panicked when they see it.
"Long time without ......"
Rumble!
A brilliant flash of fire interrupted the man's words, and the spark exploded, burning all the pieces of paper scattered in the sky and lying quietly on the ground, and also illuminating the feminine face.
Flame Spirit Ji leaned against the wall of Lu Alley, playing with the wooden hairpin in her hand that burned with flames.
"Little Hidden Witch, my sister hates men pretending to be ghosts in front of her sister the most, pretending to be profound."
Flame Spirit Ji raised her chin slightly, glanced at the face under the hood, seemed to remember some annoying guy, and said viciously.
Exorcist: "......"
As the head of the Baiyue Hidden Witch, he also has his own arrogance, if someone else does this to him, the exorcist will definitely summon the corpse puppet to kill him first, and then use the exorcism technique to control him, so that he can experience what it means to be dead and unrestful.
But who let Flame Spirit Ji take care of himself when he was a child?
"What about so many witches in Baiyue? Why did you come to the one? ”
The sound of inhaling and exhaling came from under the hood.
"The others didn't dare to leave Baiyue, only me, the Peerless Ghost and the Hundred Poison King came. The size of the unequaled ghost is too large and eye-catching, and it is not suitable for blending into Xinzheng City in broad daylight. The Hundred Poison King has no ability to protect himself except for poison, and it is not suitable for him to come, so I can only come by myself. ”
The exorcist sighed, but the murderous intent in his cyan eyes revealed his anger.
Once upon a time, the number of witches under Tianze's command was also extremely large, but with the fall of Baiyue and the defeat of Tianze, they all became wanted murderers by Chu and Han, and they could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests of Baiyue and dare not show up, for fear of being hunted by the masters of the two countries.
If it weren't for Flame Spirit Ji telling them the whereabouts of Tianze, even the Wushuang Ghost wouldn't have bothered to leave Baiyue, let alone the Exorcist and the Hundred Poison King.
"Does he really have the whereabouts of his master?"
"A man who can have such a deep understanding of the secrets of the past is likely to have the whereabouts of his master." Flame Spirit Ji played with the wooden hairpin in her hand and said casually.
The cyan light in the exorcist's eyes brightened a little, for so many years, they, the witches of Baiyue, had been searching for Tianze's whereabouts.
Baiyue's sorcerers have a special connection with each other, they can sense each other's location, and Tianze is the controller of this connection, he can clearly grasp the position and state of other sorcerers, and other sorcerers can only sense each other, but not Tianze's location.
The only thing they can be sure of is that Tianze is not dead, and he is tenaciously alive.
The exorcist pressed the brim of the hood: "It's better for me to kill him, turn him into a zombie, and use the exorcism technique to ask the whereabouts of the master from his mouth!" ”
There was excitement and murderous intent in the feminine voice of the indistinguishable male and female, and the exorcist thought that Flame Lingji would echo his thoughts, but found that Flame Lingji glanced at him with disdain, and his gaze mixed with a hint of pity was like looking at a fool.
"Little Hidden Witch, do you think you can beat me?"
The exorcist thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't beat it." ”
Flame Spirit Ji's flame naturally restrains his own zombies, and his cultivation is also higher than himself, so he is naturally not Flame Spirit Ji's opponent.
Taking a deep breath, Flame Spirit Ji recalled the murderous aura and chill of that night, and her body still couldn't help but tremble slightly: "I'm not his opponent. ”
The exorcist thought that Flame Lingji was talking about Zhang Ji, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say that he could call the Wushuang Ghost and the Hundred Poison King to have a righteous group fight, but Flame Lingji turned around and walked towards the exit of Lu Alley.
"Continue to stay on the outskirts of Xinzheng with the Peerless Ghost and the Hundred Poison King, and don't enter the city without news from me." Flame Spirit Ji's words paused, and then continued, "There are too many opponents in the city that we can't handle, even if it's the four of us combined......"
She left without finishing, a wry smile on her lips to finish the passage in her place.
