Yao Yi was alone in the room, the Ji family was not a very pleasant place, in addition to being an unfamiliar environmental framework, it also contained many things that disgusted her, so when the room was allocated, she hid in the room alone early, seeking peace in her heart, but the feeling of pressure in her heart not only did not reduce, but became more and more serious, her heart was sealed again, and the air around her became heavy and viscous, as if she was about to suffocate.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and replaced the turbid air in her body with more turbid air, she really hated this place.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, Yao Yi didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, and everything outside the door was no different from what was inside the house. As long as it is in the house, the moonlight will be very dazzling, and even the wind will be as cold as the wind.

It seems that the people outside also felt Yao Yi's negative emotions and stopped the action of investigating here.

Yao Yi was very happy in her heart, and there was still a little disappointment.

How could there be disappointment, she asked herself with some annoyance, hadn't she been deceived enough?

Suddenly, the door shook twice, pulling Yao Yi's thoughts back, and it was someone outside knocking on the door again.

But after only two clicks, there was no movement, and Yao Yi mocked herself: "Look, the people outside are really playing with you." ”

Although she said this, there was no sadness or resentment in her heart, because it should be so, it was so.

Zhang Xingwen outside the door hung his hand in the air, unable to fall for a long time, he was still a little timid, what if he went back and was ridiculed by the two junior brothers? Hasn't it always been like this?

He turned around and looked at the night sky, which was his favorite place. The moonlight was bright tonight, suppressing the light of the stars, but he knew that the stars were still there, but they were only hindered by the moonlight, and they could not show their brilliance. Even the light of the sun could not stop them from revealing themselves, and no matter how powerful the oppression was, it could only force them, not make them submit.

In fact, what can you do without Yao Yi, it was originally an agreement between boys, and she was not mentioned anything. So why call her?

Because of responsibility? Because everyone is a whole? He asked himself, and the answer was not like this. Zhang Xingwen just thinks that how can a person as beautiful as Yao Yi not experience this wonderful world.

It would be a pity if I didn't go. If he didn't invite, it would make him regret it.

He knew that the monk could still sense the situation outside even when he was resting, so this time he gave up knocking on the door, which was more important than meaningful.

"Senior sister, the room is too stuffy, let's go to the river to see the beautiful scenery."

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to be the most penetrating weapon in the world, piercing the almost frozen air beside Yao Yi, sending a truly soft light forward.

"Well, I'm suffocating in the house."

Yao Yi said in a nasal voice, but in the end it all turned into happiness and joy. She rushed out of bed and opened the door with all her strength, looking at the boy who was a little shy in the moonlight, his eyes were still shining even in the bright moonlight, and they were as beautiful as the stars in the sky.

She asked with a sudden smile; "What is it that deserves to invite me, better than the stars in the sky?"

The girl in front of her was smiling like a flower, her eyes were bent into crescents, flashing with light, Zhang Xingwen couldn't help but blurt out, "Because there are things in this world that are as beautiful as the starry sky." ”

Ji Wenyi and You Ziji walked out of the flowers at the right time, startled the young boys and girls, and asked, "You have been hiding here?" ”

Ji Wenyi was a little embarrassed, what could he say in front of Yao Yi, it was too much. But I heard You Ziji reply: "Senior Brother Ji said that Senior Uncle Hao borrowed a spiritual treasure from him, which is very powerful, and he wants to show it to me." ”

These words immediately aroused the interest of the two, "Master Hao's spiritual treasure? ”

Ji Wenyi immediately took out the canopy and said, "This is the uncle who is afraid that it will be dangerous for me to come out alone, so he gave it to me to save my life, it is very tight." ”

Zhang Xingwen glanced at it and handed it to Yao Yi, saying, "Hao Shibo's works are all superb, with this magic weapon, we don't need to worry about safety when we go out to play." ”

Ji Wenyi said: "This Jianping City is good, as long as the master of the Moon Gazing Realm ignores it, how can any danger threaten us?" ”

Among the four, only Ji Wenyi didn't know that the Governor's Mansion had hidden an army in the city, and You Ziji explained it to him before he understood.

Ji Wenyi hurriedly said: "Thanks to this magic weapon, otherwise I would have taken you out so blindly, in case of danger, it would be troublesome." ”

Zhang Xingwen said: "Then let's inform Senior Uncle Hao and the fourth senior brother before we go out." ”

Yao Yi said: "No need, our movements can't escape the fourth senior brother's divine sense, I'm afraid Senior Brother Ji has already told the fourth senior brother when he came in, right?" ”

Ji Wenyi nodded, "I did say it, and the fourth senior brother did not object. ”

Yao Yi raised the canopy again, attracting the attention of the three junior brothers, "Besides, although this spiritual treasure is mysterious, it is not strange, Senior Uncle Hao will not do such a superficial thing, there must be a wonderful use to make the fourth senior brother feel that he can protect us." ”

Ji Wenyi said: "In that case, what are we waiting for, let's set off." ”

Knowing that there was still an army in the city that didn't know what purpose, he should immediately go to the previous plan of Edgeworth's flight, but walked to the riverside on foot, and then followed the river to the shallows in the middle of the river.

……

In the Bright Moon Villa, General Tie stood in front of the door and waited until Ming Gongling had dealt with everything before entering the house. He knelt directly on one knee and said, "The last general has a heavy burden and has not done things." ”

Ming Gongling glanced at him, "Such a big thing, why did you come to report it now?" Lutzer taught you, what did he tell you? ”

General Tie saw that Lord Changshi was really as Lu Ce said, he was not angry, and his heart was much more relaxed, so he said: "Mr. Lu said that he didn't think he could succeed, but he just sent people to strengthen his momentum, so that those who are biased towards us in the Ji family still have a sustenance. ”

Ming Gongling smiled: "I can understand it, I can have his helper a lot easier." ”

"Mr. Lu is resourceful and a rare right-hand man for adults."

Ming Gongling made no secret of his love for Lu Ce, "He will soon become my son-in-law of the Ming family." ”

General Tie was stunned for a moment, but no matter what he thought in his heart, envy or jealousy, he didn't dare to show it, so he could only continue to praise with his own words of praise.

"Lu Ce is a rare talent, and my subordinates congratulate Lord Changshi."

Ming Gongling saw through what he was thinking at a glance, so he knocked and said, "I know what you think in your heart, but you want to hide these thoughts in your heart, Lu Ze's success is because of his ability." And you, General Tie, your ability can't immediately make me favor you, you have to always see your position, and if you want to become a person of the Ming family in the future, it is not completely without opportunities. ”

General Tie immediately expressed his loyalty, "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup for your lordship." ”

Ming Gongling refuted: "I don't need you to go to the sea of fire, follow the Ming family, there is absolutely only benefit." ”

General Tie said: "Although his subordinates are rough people, they also have official positions, and they know that they are doing things for Lord Changshi, so they are naturally people of Lord Changshi." In the future, if Lord Changshi wants me to become a member of the Ming family, his subordinates will serve the adults as members of the Ming family. If you don't want your subordinates to become the Ming family, your subordinates will still serve as adults. ”

Ming Gongling looked General Tie up and down carefully, he never thought that the leader of Lingwei, who had always been under his nose, would have such thoughts, was he acting too obviously?

"You're bold, but you're very good."

"Thank you, Lord for complimenting."

"Alright, you go down."

General Tie hurriedly got up and retreated, but suddenly heard the guard behind him report it, he took the letter in the guard's hand in his hand, and asked, "What happened?" ”

The guard said: "Ji Longlin and Ji Wenhong of the Ji family want to meet Lord Changshi. ”

"Ji Jia? Who wrote this letter? ”

"It was written by Ji Wenhong, and he wanted the Iron Commander to deliver it to Lord Changshi, saying that everything was explained clearly in it."

General Tie immediately felt that something big had happened, and hurriedly came to the door, raising his hand to slam the door, just when he heard the voice of Ming Gongling inside, "I heard all your words, bring things in." ”

General Tie returned to the house at this time, and he wanted to present the letter, but he thought that if there was a problem with the letter, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the adults, so he opened the envelope directly, checked it and handed it over.

Ming Gongling did not comment on General Tie's behavior, which had always been his imperial means, and he seemed to be unfathomable.

He looked at the letter carefully, his brows narrowing more and more, "General Tie, you saw Ji Zibai when you went to Ji's house?" ”

"I haven't seen it."

No matter how slow General Tie's thinking is, he knows what is happening, the old master of the Ji family is out of the mountain, so wouldn't he have to respond to Lord Changshi's account?

Ming Gongling slapped the paper on the table and said viciously: "This old guy is a white wolf with empty gloves, and he regards all the hard work that my Ming family has put into it as the interests of their family." ”

General Tie said: "As soon as the lord gives an order, his subordinates will bring troops to arrest him!" ”

Of course, General Tie knew that this was impossible, but his attitude must be shown.

Ming Gongling gradually suppressed his anger, and then asked, "What about the Mountain Sect?" What do they mean? ”

General Tie immediately said: "The Virtuous Daoist is also very strong, but his subordinates forced it out. ”

Ming Gongling closed his eyes and said after a long time: "It's my problem, although I have foreseen the tough attitude of the Mountain Sect, Ji Zibai directly surprised me. I didn't expect him to be in seclusion for so long, and he could still control the Ji family. ”

General Tie asked, "My lord, what about those people who plan the family?" ”

Ming Gongling rubbed his forehead and said, "Although they are useless now, after all, they were cultivated by my Ming family, even if they are used as benchmarks, they must always be raised, so let's find a place in the villa and settle down." ”

General Tie was ordered to leave, but Ming Gongling was not idle, he drafted a letter on the spot, and reported the situation here to the head of the family, which focused on Ji Longlin and Ji Wenhong, and asked to bring more money and grain over and use the money of the Ming family to support them.

……

Although Ji Longlin and Ji Wenhong entered the door of Mingyue Villa with a group of cronies, they did not go deep and were ordered to wait here. The armor soldiers who are all around him are fully armed, and they don't look like ordinary people's families. Thinking of Ming Gongling's official identity and the position of General Tie, it is basically certain that these armor soldiers are the elite of the army.

Although the people below were full of complaints, they were very puzzled why Ming Gongling wanted to stop them, but Ji Longlin and Ji Wenhong only felt very happy and satisfied.

The two teams of people added up to seventy or eighty people, and these people were directly put into the courtyard by the guards, which is enough to show that Ming Gongling's attitude towards them is not mean, but the situation is special and prone to hidden dangers.

Ji Wenhong saw that Ji Longlin was still a little irritable, and hurriedly explained: "Fourth Uncle don't worry, I have already prepared some money in advance, which is enough for us to spend for a while." ”

"That's not a long-term solution, if you can't do anything in the Ming family, sooner or later it will be over."

The actual situation that Ji Longlin said was that Ji Wenhong, who had a well-planned plan, was also very worried, "From the first day of cooperation with Ming Changshi, I was ready to be kicked out of the Ji family, but I didn't expect that the fourth uncle you are the same as me, and now there is no internal response in the Ji family, and the future days can be imagined." ”

Seeing Ji Wenhong complaining like this, Ji Longlin had nothing to say, and he didn't expect the old man's eyes to be so poisonous, obviously he didn't show any flaws. But, after thinking about it, I always feel that something is wrong, didn't someone betray him?

Ji Longlin asked tentatively: "I think you must be angry with me in your heart, if it weren't for this matter, the eldest brother would still be the head of the family, and it would be a sure thing for you to become the head of the family, how could you have no basis like now." ”

Ji Wenhong said: "When I wanted to persuade the fourth uncle, didn't I know the risks involved, so it was better to agree the same." The so-called No. 1 merchant in Longzhou, after all, is still a businessman, and what I ask for is no longer this. Ming Changshi is a person from the Governor's Mansion, if we can succeed, it can be regarded as having a relationship with Tianfu, and our status is not the same. ”

Ji Longlin smiled knowingly when he heard this, which was also his heart. If it's just the Ming family, it's not worth them to catch up, and the real value is actually Ming Gongling. The history of a governor can be regarded as an extremely powerful big man, and the resources he can control are naturally extremely large.

In other words, the Ming family with a long history is a strong Ming family. At this time, the long history has not been changed for twenty consecutive years, what does this prove? It is enough to prove that the Ming family no longer has someone who can be compared with Ming Gongling to take over the position of Changshi, or that the energy of Ming Gongling is enough to allow him to always hold the position of this Changshi, a position that is more prestigious than that of the head of the Ming family.

Ji Longlin said: "If we can wait for the Ming family to change the sky, we will have the ability to rise again." ”

Ji Wenhong hurriedly said: "The fourth uncle is conservative, where does it take so long." ”

"Could it be that you have a plan?"

Ji Wenhong said with a smile: "It's not a good idea, it's just that I recently heard that Ming Gongling is entertaining many merchants, and it is nothing more than the need to unite them." Although our uncle and nephew were kicked out of the house, but after all, the reputation of the past is still there, and there is the support of Ming Changshi, we can definitely become a model for Ming Changshi's subordinates, if we can take the opportunity to gather all the merchants together and help Ming Changshi complete the goal, he will definitely treat us differently and help us recapture the Ji family. ”

Ji Longlin listened to Ji Wenhong's words and felt intuitive, but when he heard the words "recapture the Ji family", he was a little stunned.

"The old man's methods are powerful, why should we take back the Ji family, I'm afraid we will have to suffer another loss."

Ji Wenhong said: "Fourth uncle, let's relax, if grandpa can really solve it before, he doesn't have to pretend to retreat." When the time comes, there is Ming Changshi urging behind him, and he will definitely be caught. ”

"I hope so."

When the two saw a soldier in the distance, who seemed to have ordered them to let them go, they hurriedly stopped talking and began to organize their subordinates.

……

Ji Wenyi and the others walked along the road to the gate of Ji's house, and for this reason they also specially found a servant, otherwise they would get lost inside.

Zhang Xingwen complained: "Senior brother, your home is like a maze, how inconvenient it is to go out on weekdays." ”

Ji Wenyi said: "There are more than a dozen families living here, and if there are no roads separated by these roads, it will definitely cause conflicts." Now if you have nothing to do, you don't need to go to another house to meet. ”

Yao Yi said: "If you want to come to such a big yard, not everyone can walk around. ”

"Senior sister is right, it seems that she understands this environment very well."

Yao Yi didn't seem to want to mention this matter and kept silent, so Zhang Xingwen had no choice but to pick it up and ask, "Aren't they all family members, the rules are still so strict." ”

Ji Wenyi said: "Senior brother may not have experienced it, I don't know the trouble of managing when there are many people, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to control, if there is no rule, maybe something will happen." ”

A few people chatted while passing through the gate, and there was no need to find the way, so they walked straight forward, and after half a mile, they came to a shoal, in front of which is the Mio River, one of the nine rivers in Longzhou, the two banks are quite far apart, and ordinary people can only vaguely see the opposite shoreline.

You Ziji had never seen such a wide river, so he became excited and took the lead in running to the shallows to study it carefully.

Although he crossed the Liangjiang River by boat, he was in a hurry at that time and did not stay on the shore too long, because he still felt very fresh.

Unlike the Liangjiang River, although they pass through the city, the Mio River is much smoother, a little farther away, almost no water flow, and with the rise and fall of the water level, there are also many aquatic creatures left on the shore.

His sudden appearance alarmed the crabs that had climbed ashore, and they immediately scattered in all directions, some retreating into the water, some burying themselves in the sand, and some returning to the crevices near the reef. You Ziji leaned his head over curiously, only opened one eye and looked inside, but saw a huge pincer open its mouth and poked it directly, startling him.

The three people in the distance all laughed when they saw his appearance, and Yao Yi shouted: "Little junior brother, we are going to cross the river, and we won't care about you if we don't come back." ”

You Ziji left here without hesitation and ran in the direction of the three of them, that is, the riverside is already so interesting, if he goes to the surface of the river, I am afraid he will not be disappointed.

The three of them flew with their edges, all supporting You Ziji, cooperating with each other to form a formation, and the speed was a little faster than usual.

Naturally, the so-called center of the river is not to fly to the center of the Mio, but to find a sandbar in the middle of the river that has been hit by the current, and after the evolution of the last few hundred years, it has become a defensive island in the middle of the lake for nearly a mile for people to rest.

Of course, this refers to the practitioner.

By tea time, the four of them could already see the rudiments of the sandbar, and they immediately hurried to it. But I saw the grass on the sandbar, the scenery was beautiful, although it was sand, it was very porcelain. It's just that this place has been deep into the Mio River, and it seems that the distance seems to have gone out of the city, and there are mountains on both sides, and even the villages are inhabited.

Zhang Xingwen asked Ji Wenyi with some curiosity, "In such a remote place, where did you see someone catching fish when you were a child?" ”

Ji Wenyi said with a smile: "Catching fish is near the shore, at most four or five meters ahead, although I am young and have not cultivated, I can see clearly." I've only heard of this sandbar, but I've never been here. Today, I am fortunate enough not to miss it, and besides, there are big fish on the shore, and there must be bigger fish in the middle of this river. ”

You Ziji asked: "The sandbar here is so big, isn't it the same as the shore, the water is so shallow, where will there be big fish?" ”

His words seemed to remind Ji Wenyi, "That's not good, let's go ahead and see." He was about to discuss his future actions, but found that there was no one in front of him.

I only heard a voice from the reeds that were taller than a person, "Senior brother, don't be entangled, the scenery here is also good, it's enough for us to play." ”

You Ziji also chimed in: "There is a puddle here, and there are a lot of fish in it, so you don't need to look for it from afar." ”

Ji Wenyi became interested when he heard this, and he went straight to You Ziji, "Where is it?" ”

You Ziji pointed forward, "That's it, but this fish looks a little weird." ”

But I saw that he was carrying a black fish with the thickness of an arm, and the difference between fish and fish was that it seemed to have four limbs on its body, but it was very short, and it could not be found if it was not carefully observed.

Yao Yi and Zhang Xingwen also rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they saw this strange fish, they were all stunned, and Yao Yi asked directly: "Senior Brother Ji, the fish in the Mio River won't all be like this, right?" ”

Ji Wenyi denied repeatedly, "The fresh fish in Jianping City is still caught from the river, but I have never seen such a species." ”

Yao Yi said: "Are they becoming essences? ”

Zhang Xingwen glanced at it and said, "There are no traces of real going out and cultivation on its body, so it shouldn't be a spirit." ”

You Ziji said: "Let's go to the river and see other fish." ”

With that, he directly used the wind support technique, controlling a wisp of river wind to pass along the edge of the river water, he flew up and stepped on it, confirmed the location of a fish through his vision, and reached out to fish it up.

Yao Yi and Zhang Xingwen in the distance saw his figure for the first time, and couldn't help but praise: "Senior brother is so capable!" ”
