Chapter 16: Those Who Will Eventually Meet
On Wudang Mountain, Xiao Yansheng asked when he knew that Ji Jiu was about to go to the rivers and lakes, "Do you know how Jiang Yun goes?"
"This ...... You can always ask for directions. ”
Xiao Yansheng lifted his forehead and sighed, walked into the house, and took out a scroll of detailed geographical maps of the southern country drawn on brown paper.
"Take it as a gift for you when you first entered the rivers and lakes. ”
Ji Jiu did not refuse, and said after accepting it happily, "Daoist Xiao, Master specially instructed me to let me talk to you, remember to help take care of the flower garden." ”
"Got it, got it. That guy is going to trouble me, rinse!"
Shuchen has already grown from a confused little path back then to a handsome young man now, he first saluted Ji Jiu and then asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
"Hurry up and go to the uncle next door to borrow money and borrow three taels of silver. Xiao Yansheng waved his hand, and he had the courage of three thousand taels.
"Gotcha. Shuchen didn't feel embarrassed for a long time, and went briskly.
"Yes, it is worthy of my apprentice who has understanding. Xiao Yansheng nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Jiu smirked and thought, "Where is this Wudang Mountain, if you let the uninformed see it, you will think that this is a nest of old men." ”
Shuchen went out for a while and came back, holding two taels of silver in his hand, handing it to Ji Jiu and saying, "In a while, Master will allow me to go down the mountain, and I'll see you in the rivers and lakes then?"
Ji Jiu smiled heartily, "Then you have to see you in the rivers and lakes." ”
The young man held the silver in his hand and went down the mountain, not forgetting to wave like a master and apprentice halfway through.
Xiao Yansheng responded with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, the rivers and lakes are waiting for you to go through." ”
Wudang Mountain is located in Jiangnan Road, so the distance with Jiangyun is not far, the boy is not happy to stop all the way, more than ten days to a place called Tonglu County, where the flowers are blooming, everyone on the street one after another can be called extremely lively.
Ji Jiu looked at everything around curiously, there was a Qinglou Chu Pavilion on the side of the street, and the sound of warblers and swallows beside the railing on the second floor hooked his soul, which made Ji Jiu a little embarrassed and wanted to escape from here quickly.
He ran into a restaurant as if fleeing for his life, ordered some dishes at random and drank a cup of tea, the tea that was just about to enter suddenly fluctuated, Ji Jiu subconsciously held the hilt of the sword and unsheathed it to block the sword on the left, and the diner on the right quickly got up and slapped a palm on Ji Jiu's chest.
Everything happened too fast, after all, it was the raw melon and egg who had just entered the rivers and lakes where did he react, Ji Jiu, who had been slapped hard, coughed up blood violently, and rushed out of the restaurant to the roof of the house.
When Ji Jiu fled for his life, a man wearing a big hat in the far corner picked up the knife on the table and quietly disappeared into the panicked crowd.
didn't have time to think about who sent someone to kill him, so Ji Jiu fell into the embarrassment of a dozen and four, although the cultivation of the four people was not as good as Ji Jiu's, they were ruthless in their shots, and they cooperated tacitly.
Ji Jiu was invincible with one punch, and soon there were many large and small wounds on his body, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his sword to resist, and finally when he was facing a person approaching step by step, he seized the opportunity and suddenly his sword qi became stronger, and a sword directly cut off the man's arm.
Ji Jiu didn't have time to watch this bloody scene, his body reversed to block the sneak attack from behind, and kicked the left and right people away with a single kick The sword with killing intent pressed the person holding the knife in front of him.
"Crush me!"
The sword fell with sword energy, and there was a great tendency for the sword to break through ten thousand jun.
The knife in the man's hand was chopped alive, and Ji Jiu Lisuo was a sword in his chest, and then kicked him off the roof, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
So that there are only two people left.
The two knew that the assassination had failed, and they were both beheaded and killed by a neat knife when they decided to run.
Ji Jiu covered his chest with his right hand, and raised his sword with his left hand to confront the strange man in front of him.
"Who are you scaring about, let me down!" The voice sounded young, Ji Jiu pondered it and still felt that something was wrong and said, "Who knows if you are in the same group as them?"
"You're stupid in the head, if I'm with them, why should I help you kill them?" The man's voice gradually became a little angry, what is he, there is no reward for doing good deeds?
"What if you kill the two of them to deceive me into trust, what if all this is a game you set up?" Although he is new to the rivers and lakes, Ji Jiu is also too smart, but smart people have always thought a lot.
"How can you believe me, the people from the government are coming, and if you don't run, you will be imprisoned. ”
Ji Jiu glanced at the street, dusty, indeed a government official.
"Who the hell are you, tell me. ”
The man took off his hat and revealed the face of a young man, although he was not handsome, he was also elegant, but there was a long scar on the left side of his face, which added a bit of ferocity.
"Bad guy, Yun Fan. It seemed that he was afraid that Ji Jiu would not believe it, so he took out a carved gluttonous wooden card and said, "This is a special waist card made by bad people, and the patterns on it are impossible to imitate, now you always believe me, right?"
Ji Jiu was still hesitating, but Yun Fan came over and grabbed his hand and ran, startling him a lot.
"Eh, you're ......"
"What nonsense, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Ji Jiu only felt that he had followed him for a long time, and after running in and out of the alley a few times in front of a broken wooden door, Yun Fan pushed open the door and took him in.
Before closing the door, he also probed left and right to confirm that no one was able to close the door with confidence.
"I've already introduced me, now it's time to tell me who you are, right?" Yun Fan leaned against the wooden door, panting and looking at this young man who was not like a newcomer in the rivers and lakes.
Ji Jiu fell into contemplation and meditated, ignoring Yun Fan's words.
Who wants to kill himself, he has been practicing martial arts in Qingshan Town for ten years, and he has never offended anyone. And most of the people in the small Qingshan Town are simple people, where can there be such a vicious person as a killer?
"Yun Fan, you're a bad person, right?"
"I said, big brother, you are still suspicious of me now, of course I am a real bad person. ”
"Since you are a bad person, why did you want to run away with me when the government officials arrived just now?"
Yun Fan looked at Ji Jiu with interest, and said truthfully, "Because there are still people spying on you, you have to get rid of him first." ”
Ji Jiu gasped heavily, got up and said, "My name is Ji Jiu, a sword immortal dyed disciple. ”
"You are the apprentice of the Sword Immortal?"
"Exactly. ”
Yun Fan thought for a moment and said, "No assassin in the world dares to kill the person we want to protect under our noses, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless it's the Northern Kingdom Jinyi Guard, let's talk about it, how did you provoke them?"
Ji Jiu's mind was stunned, the three words Jin Yiwei were really strange and familiar, and he always felt strange in his heart when he heard it today.
"It's also possible that it's not Jinyiwei, but we have to find enough evidence first. ”
Yun Fan nodded helplessly, "It seems that I am going to go to the government office tonight." ”
