Since Ji Huo let Ji Qingli live three years ago, Ji Qingli has settled in Fufeng City.

And Jiang Tai, the Nanshu merchant who had been delivering medicine to Ji Qingli back then, was rescued by Ji Qingli when the incident occurred in the east window, and then Jiang Tai didn't dare to go, so he had to find Ji Qingli's side.

Jiang Tai and Ji Qingli changed their names and surnames to settle down in Fufeng City, and opened a grocery store as a livelihood, which can be regarded as escaping the world and hiding from the old age.

Later, Li Xuanzhang, the emperor of Southern Shu, also sent people to find Ji Qingli's whereabouts, but there was no news, and all the dark chess pieces buried in the Great Qian's court were also pulled out by Emperor Qian.

And Ji Qingli can be regarded as an abandoned son of the two countries, a son of treachery and treason, and a son of abandoned and useless.

It is precisely because of this that Ji Qingli has lived a relaxed time for three years, and he doesn't have to live a precarious life.

Jiang Tai went to the market to buy food every day, and today he bought two fresh and bouncing big carps from the market in the east of Fufeng City.

"Boss Ji, how about eating braised carp at noon today?" Jiang Tai smiled and carried the fish to Ji Qingli.

Ji Qingli, who was looking at the door, seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, until Jiang Tai called for the second time before he came back to his senses and said: "That's good, it's not easy in this winter, let's have a drink to warm up today." ”

"Alas!" Jiang Tai, who was about to go to the kitchen in the back, stopped again and said: "Boss Ji, I see that there are a lot of outsiders in the city these days, but they don't look like businessmen, I don't know what they do." ”

"Oh, how do you see it?" Ji Qingli was a little surprised and didn't make a sound, just now he was still thinking about how to tell Jiang Tai, but he didn't expect Jiang Tai to notice it.

"I think I, Jiang Tai, used to follow you to get intelligence news, and I still have this bit of vision. Jiang Tai straightened his chest with a little pride.

Ji Qingli smiled slightly: "That's right, then have you noticed that there are more eyeliner around our house?"

"Boss Ji, true or false. Jiang Tai, who was frightened by Ji Qingli, immediately became nervous, and cautiously looked out of the door.

"Don't be nervous, it's coming at me, it's none of your business. I was going to tell you that, but you just asked. Ji Qingli waved his hand, signaling Jiang Taimo to panic.

"Is it from Shu that came at you?" was so frightened that the fish in Jiang Tai's hand almost fell.

Ji Qingli shook his head and said: "That's not it, looking at the number of body paths, it should be the person of the Shadow Dragon Guard beside Emperor Qian, and it may have arrived a few days earlier." But they've always been secretive, and I've only recently found out. ”

"Didn't you already let go of Boss Ji back then, why did you come to the door again now? Boss Ji, you have also worked hard for Daqian for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, although we are the spies of Dashu, but we have not yet acted and have been put to the nest!" "If Li Xuanzhang, the emperor of Shu, sent someone to find Jiang Tai here, he would not be too surprised, but it is difficult to say that he is still an eagle dog of the Daqian court.

Ji Qingli sighed and said, "What you think is too simple, it's different." It was Ji Huo who spared my life three years ago, not Emperor Qian. And now if I want my life, it should be Emperor Qian, and the rest of the people are probably also acting according to orders. I just don't know if the person who came this time is the new director of the Department of Justice, or my old friend Ji Huo. However, judging by the fact that Shadow Dragon Guard has not been moving for a long time, it should be that the person in charge has not yet arrived, and Shadow Dragon Guard may only be responsible for whereabouts reconnaissance and spying on news. ”

"Boss Ji, then let's run away quickly, while there is still a chance. Jiang Tai hurriedly closed the front and back doors, put the fish on the table and whispered.

Ji Qingli shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I was tired of escaping three years ago, otherwise do you think Ji Huo can catch me? ”

Jiang Tai saw Ji Qingli's indifferent appearance and said: "Back then, Boss Ji, you should have fled to Dashu, it will be fine, with your power, the emperor will definitely be reused again." ”

Ji Qingli smiled sadly and said, "Jiang Tai, you think things too simply. You don't know the methods of Emperor Li Xuanzhang, but I know it very well. If I had recklessly returned to Shu back then, I would have been useless if I failed in action, I would have been a waste chess, and there was only one way out. Do you think Li Xuanzhang cares about the life or death of our people? Heh! On the outside, he seems to be a great master of the Liangyi Realm, but in Li Xuanzhang's eyes, he is just a useful big worm. ”

"That'...... Then you can't sit here and wait for death, why bother with ants stealing life. Jiang Tai was anxious and didn't know what to do, what he was most afraid of was that Ji Qingli was already dead and refused to run for his life.

"I already knew that this day would come, and where I could escape, I would have picked up a life three years ago. I'm tired, but I hope that Ji Huo will come here this time and see me off for the last time. ”

"This ...... Alas...... Boss Ji, just listen to my advice! With your Liangyi realm cultivation in this troubled era, Daqian and Dashu can't stay, we can still go to Xiyueshu and Northern Wei, if we can't do it, we can still occupy the mountain and become the king, why bother to be trapped here!" Jiang Tai, who was anxious, scratched his ears and cheeks for a while.

"No, I've made up my mind. It's Jiang Tai, you don't have to be implicated with me, I thought of your friendship when the East Window incident happened, so I asked you to hide, so as not to be cleared out by Daqian and Dashu. Now these people's target is me, and I will definitely not embarrass you again. Leaving in a hurry today may attract attention, but tomorrow you pack up a little and secretly flee outside the gate, and don't come back. "Ji Qingli is very determined, he has no intention of running again, although the rivers and lakes are big, but it is not a way to escape all the time.

Hearing Ji Qingli's words, Jiang Tai couldn't help but be moved, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to escape alone, "This ...... How can this be done, Jiang Tai, the life-saving grace of Ji Boss back then, is unforgettable, how can he abandon Ji Boss and run away alone. ”

"I did it back then, you don't have to remember it. Listen to me, don't stay here any longer, it won't do you any good, don't learn from those brainless foolish blood and give your life in vain. Ji Qingli said bitterly.

It's rare, Jiang Tai knows about Entubao, but he doesn't need to.

Jiang Tai couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help crying in a low voice: "Boss Ji, if you don't leave, I, Jiang Tai, won't leave, this life is saved by you, and I don't want it anymore." ”

"Jiang Tai, why are you so stupid at a critical time, you don't have the slightest cultivation, staying here, you will only become a burden to me, do you really think that it is so easy for them to kill me? You also said that the ants are still stealing life, but if there is a glimmer of life, I will still be killed, but if you are here, if they use you to blackmail me, then you will cut off my glimmer of life!"

Jiang Tai heard what Ji Qingli said, which was also quite reasonable, and Ji Boss also said that he would not give up a glimmer of life, and after thinking about it again, he finally nodded in agreement, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Okay, Boss Ji, since you say so, I, Jiang Tai, listen to you." ”

Ji Qingli smiled and patted Jiang Tai's shoulder: "Well, good." Your boss and I haven't fallen to the point of waiting for death, go, braise the fish, let's have a good drink at noon today, remember to fry it in oil before getting out of the pot, so that it is crispy and delicious. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Tai nodded heavily.

......

Since Ji Huo received the imperial order of Emperor Qian, he quickly whipped out of the west gate of the capital, went all the way to the northwest, and went straight to Fufeng City, the westernmost part of Bingzhou.

Along the way, I traveled under the stars and nights, slept in the open air, and finally arrived in Fufeng City in a short time.

This side of Fufeng City is also called Fufeng Pass, which was originally a small pass in and out of the Western Regions.

Fufeng City also has towering walls and battlements, as well as arrow towers, several horse faces used to place heavy giant crossbows, and the urn city is also majestic.

However, compared with Xiguan, it is naturally beyond reach and incomparable.

Therefore, the Western Regions to the west of Fufeng City are also called Guanwai, since the Western Regions were unified into the territory of the Great Cadres, a Xiguan was built in the west of the Western Regions by the mountain, and the Yueshu Kingdom was kept out, and Fufeng Pass gradually faded out of people's field of vision.

However, having said that, the armament of Fufeng City has never been abandoned, and there have always been 30,000 defenders stationed here, which can be regarded as the second line of defense in the entire western frontier of the Great Qian.

Even if the Xiguan suddenly collapsed and broke the defense, but with the buffer outside the Western Regions Pass, Fufeng City could still get a large team of people and horses from Bingzhou and Yanzhou in a short period of time.

Fufeng City is also the most prosperous city in the western part of the Great Qian, the trade here is developed, and the people from the Western Regions and the inland of the Great Qian come here to trade, such as tea bricks, silk, porcelain, cattle, horses, raising and so on.

Ji Huo couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked at this once familiar city, it was here that he took Ji Qingli's life three years ago with the answer he wanted.

Six years ago, all the way from the capital of Daqian to chase Ji Qing to the outside of the pass, the first three years were nothing more than a game of cats and rats.

The two hid and hid, killing and killing, and in the end Ji Qingli was tired of escaping, so they dubbed it with Activation in Fufeng City, but unfortunately Ji Qingli was still defeated by Ji Huo in the end.

The past is vivid, who knew that when I came here now, it would be the same, to take Qingli's life.

In fact, on the way here, Ji Huo has always wondered why Emperor Qiandi didn't pursue this matter three years ago, even if Emperor Qiandi let his Shadow Dragon Guard kill Ji Qingli.

Now that three years have passed, he suddenly ordered himself to kill Ji Qingli, which is a little unreasonable, but Ji Huo can't figure out why.

And back then, Ji Qing left Ji Qingli alive, and Emperor Qiandi actually knew it.

When Ji Huo returned to Beijing three years ago to resume his life, he did not hide it, and told Emperor Qiandi all the situation in 1510.

To Ji Huo's surprise, Emperor Qiandi did not shout and kill or reprimand, blame and punish himself as he expected, which made Ji Huo feel very surprised.

Ji Huo's brain was a little confused for a while, and he couldn't turn around.

Ji Huo carried a knife wrapped in coarse cloth on his back, leading the horse to walk on the bustling street, thinking that he hoped that Ji Qingli was no longer here, after all, he was once the best partner, and Ji Huo really couldn't do it, even if Ji Qingli was a spy for Nanshu.

Of course, Ji Huo knew that it would be difficult for Ji Qing to leave the house, since Emperor Qiandi sent him for the second time, it had already explained a lot of things.

Moreover, this also shows from the side that Emperor Qian must have mastered Ji Qingli's whereabouts, otherwise he would not have sent himself without accurate information.

Maybe the Shadow Dragon Guard at this time had already locked Ji Qingli's whereabouts.

Forget it, I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to waste my brain anymore, why bother mediocre people to disturb themselves, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

These days, it has been raining and blowing all the way, gnawing on dry food, and my stomach is not only without oil and water, but also very uncomfortable.

I still want to find an inn to fill my stomach, take a shower and sleep well.

In this way, Ji Huo entered an inn called Che Ma Ting, asked for an upper room and some wine and food, and stayed in it.
