Chapter 316: White Clothes Draw Sword

"This son, you forgot to bring your wine. The old shopkeeper who was originally standing at the counter in Dong Kee Wine Store saw the young man in white hurriedly running to the door with a wine jug after walking out of the wine shop, and shouted at the strange young man who didn't seem to look back.

"Shopkeeper, these two pots of Xinghua Village will be placed here for you first. The young man in white waved his hand with his back to him and said.

"What's going on. The old shopkeeper looked at the flask in his hand and said helplessly.

The man in white walked alone on this spacious ancient street, and his already jade-like face had actually begun to gloom as soon as he stepped out of the door of Dong Ji Liquor Shop.

So now he is as cold as frost and frost and snow.

I simply didn't know that today, this ancient street that was very lively in the past contains pedestrians, otherwise his face is enough to make passers-by look sideways.

And the reason why the man in white is like this is only because he heard the old shopkeeper mention the Hongluan cavalry army in Dong Ji Wine Shop.

If the elder brother named Zeng Niu was indeed in the Red Luan Camp and had died, then he was sure that he was not the life-hungry deserters of the Overseers.

On that day, when he returned to the Great Wall of Lishan from Wuyu, he saved Huang Ting, the commander of the Hongluan Cavalry, by mistake.

Although he didn't have time to carefully clean up the battlefield at that time because of the pursuit of Gore and the others, he already knew the tragedy of this battle of being outnumbered by the enemy and chasing each other at a glance.

On the way back to catch up with Gore to regain the enemy, he looked down from the sky above the canopy, and all he saw were the war horses that had collapsed on the ground and could no longer stand up, as well as the halberds that passed by, leaving behind several soldiers who were bloodied and lifeless.

And most of them are soldiers of the Hongluan Battalion of the Great Wall in red armor.

In this brief battle, in order to transmit the news of the eastward march of Hangu Bingzhen back to the Great Wall of Lishan, hundreds of Hongluan soldiers were killed in battle, and then Hongluan, who was the commander of Hongluan but was indeed a woman, was killed.

If he hadn't been able to arrive in time, I'm afraid that this female general would never be seen again on the head of the Great Wall.

Hongluan's soldiers don't want any military merit rewards, but they can't be talked about behind their backs.

If this kind of gossip really spreads from the Overseer's construction from the city, it will not only chill the hearts of the living Hongluan soldiers, but also the souls of the dead heroes under the cold iron clothes of the horse-leather shroud will not be able to rest under the Nine Springs.

Ji Ge, who was dressed in a white robe, walked on the road like this, his eyes were gloomy, and a cold glow flashed at the bottom of his eyes.

If it weren't for his decision to retrieve the agarwood after he walked out of the void rift, if it weren't for the fact that he saw Dong Ji Wine Shop decide to make two pots of Xinghua Village to "honor" the endless old-timers in the city, wouldn't it have made those Hongluan soldiers who died on the battlefield suffer grievances.

In fact, Zeng Niu's brother himself met the deputy commander of the Hongluan military camp at the corner of the city, and the merchant said with a sad expression that he was chased by the Wu Clan's cavalry battalion, and a young soldier surnamed Zeng on his right side was trampled into meat paste by the Wu Clan's war horse in order to protect him, the deputy commander, and finally fell from the back of the war horse because of exhaustion.

Ji Ge still remembers that when the merchant mentioned this, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.

If that soldier surnamed Zeng was Zeng Niu's brother, then how could he be a deserter!

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Ge's right foot slammed on the ground, and his figure rose into the air and turned into a streamer of light, and swept towards the northwest corner of the town.

At the beginning, he didn't save the Hongluan soldier who died tragically in the chase battle, and now he wants to save the life of the young man named Zeng Niu.

At the very least, I have to tell him the truth.

Gather troops in the town.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The black-clothed man who was the head of the wolf stood outside the study with a respectful expression, not daring to disturb the purity of the people in the room.

The entire City Lord's Mansion and even the entire Gathering Soldier Town can make him such a monk who is willing to deal with himself in the Five Turns of the Floating Slaughter Realm, except for the City Lord Lin Langtian, he will never be able to find a single one.

"The lord said you could come in. The door of the study was gently opened from the inside, and a handsome-looking scholar in Tsing Yi stood in front of the door and said in a childish voice.

The black-clothed wolf head snorted softly, probably because of "love the house and the black", the wolf head who was ruthless and resolute and hidden in the darkness outside smiled after seeing the scholar who was following the city lord, and walked into the study.

"My subordinates meet your lordship. The wolf head bowed on one knee and looked at the figure behind the table, and said in a deep voice.

"Are you so anxious to see me as a minister?" Lin Langtian, who was dressed in a spacious black robe, sat on the chair, holding an ancient book in his hand, raised his eyes and asked lightly.

"If you go back to your lordship, it is. The wolf's head replied.

Hearing this answer, Lin Langtian stood up suddenly, and the ancient scroll in his hand was also slapped on the table, "Where is he now?!"

According to the report from the people below, Chen Ge seemed to appear on the street out of thin air, but according to his subordinates, he should have squeezed out of a crack in the void somewhere. The wolf head shared his thoughts with Lin Langtian and said: "Ever since he appeared on the street, he has been walking towards the northwest of the city, and he once entered the wine shop when he passed by a wine shop called Dong Kee, but when he came out, he was still empty-handed. ”

Then he continued to walk towards the northwest corner of the city, but the speed was much faster than before, and finally he chose to break through the air. ”

"It seems that he intended that black sword agarwood. Lin Langtian nodded slightly when he heard this, and said.

He didn't think there was anything on the northwest corner that would attract him, and he knew what had happened there before, and the latter had almost lost his life there.

However, now King Qin Guang, one of the ten halls of the Ghost Clan, is dead and can't die anymore, so the only thing that can be worth his visit there now is the black sword that was left there.

"Speaking of that black sword, there is one more thing to be done. After much thought, the wolf head decided to tell the city lord about this seemingly innocuous matter.

"You'd better get up and speak first. Hearing that Chen Ge was fine, Lin Langtian's mood was much better, at least the boulder in his heart had fallen.

"Thank you, city lord. The wolf head stood up and arched his hand.

"Say it. Lin Langtian turned the yellowed scroll on the table and said lightly.

In fact, as long as he knows that Chen Ge is fine, he can ignore other things, but since the people below want to talk about it and it happens that he is in a good mood, it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

"Today a man went to the northwest corner of the city to pull out the black sword. The wolf head said truthfully.

"Oh? Lin Langtian closed the ancient scroll on the table, and looked up at the black-clothed wolf after a light sigh

First, there was a bit of similarity in his eyes.

Of course, the City Lord's Mansion didn't make a rule prohibiting the monk from drawing his sword, but it had been a long time since the monk of the Futu Realm had tried his best and didn't pull out the black sword.

As for the northwest corner, it has also become one of the few Range Rovers in the town of Troop Town.

"What realm is it this time? It can't be a strong person who returns to the second realm, right?" Lin Langtian asked jokingly.

"Nope. The wolf head also noticed the emotional changes between the city lord's words, but he didn't dare to go beyond the rules too much, just smiled and continued: "It's not the monks on the mountain, but the ordinary people in the alleys of the market. ”

"The subordinates have checked before, this person is innocent, and what is even more coincidental is that he is a buddy of Dong Ji Wine Shop. ”

"What?" Lin Langtian asked.

"It's the Dong Ji wine shop that Chen Ge entered before. The black-clothed wolf took a deep breath and said.

Lin Langtian squinted his eyes and looked out the window when he heard this, how could there be such a coincidence.

It's as if it was arranged, but if someone really laid it out, who is the person who fell into the game? And who is the purpose of this game of chess?

Is it the city lord's mansion or the Zhenfu Division's mansion? Or the Lishan Great Wall? Or is it the song of the ministers who are now in the sky on the city?

"Does the city lord have doubts about this matter?" the wolf head looked at Lin Langtian, who frowned slightly, and asked softly.

"Check. Lin Lang, who was interrupted by the wolf's head, said loudly: "Check it out for me again, and you must find out Zeng Niu's life experience!"

"Subordinates understand!" the black-clothed wolf nodded heavily and arched his hand.

Because of Lin Langtian's simple words, the town of the army, which had been quiet because of Ji Ge's appearance, became treacherous and surging again.

Northwest corner.

Zeng Niu, who held the hilt of the sword with both hands, gasped for breath, he had never felt so tired as today in more than 20 years of his life, and when he was tired, there was a heart-rending pain coming from his hands.

After all, ten fingers are connected to the heart, but what do he and his brother say.

How could his brother, whom he has always respected, be a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he still remembers that he sent his brother to Zhenfu Sifu Yaqian brother, he pointed to the vaguely visible city and said with a smile, "A good man should take Wu Hook to collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures."

Then the elder brother patted him on the shoulder again and said, "If yes, I mean that if something happens to me, then the responsibility of inheriting the lineage of our old Zeng family will fall on you, and you kid should grasp it tightly." ”

After speaking, he gently hammered Zeng Niu's chest.

At that time, Zeng Niu scolded his brother twice for saying such unlucky words, but he didn't expect his brother to say a word and die on the battlefield.

It's just that how could his brother, whom he has always respected, be the deserter coward in the Overseer's stoma, he doesn't believe it, he must change his brother's innocence.

So he must pull out this black sword in his hand.

But he was so tired, even if he tried all his strength, the black sword that was deeply inserted into the ground still didn't move.

At this time, Zeng Niu, who was in a trance because of exhaustion, remembered the millstone at home when he was a child, and at that time, he couldn't move the millstone even if he clenched his teeth and used the strength to feed, but his brother was able to move the hundred-pound millstone seemingly easily.

It was because of this brother that he chose to join the army.

If my brother is here, I will definitely be able to pull it out. Zeng Niu thought silently in his heart.

"But brother, he will never come back. Zeng Niu has now forgotten the sentence that his brother told him when he was a child, "Men don't flick when they have tears", he bit his lip, which was already bloodless, and cried silently.

He still couldn't pull out the black sword after all, he let go of his hands and looked at the canopy above his head for the last time, and his body fell backwards.

"I'm sorry, brother. Zeng Niu muttered in a hoarse voice.

"Look, I'll just say that this kid is asking for his own trouble. The strong man who had been watching the excitement from a distance laughed jokingly when he saw the young man named Zeng Niu falling backwards because of his lack of strength.

"In my opinion, it is better for people like this to die, so that the world is much cleaner. Someone in the crowd said maliciously.

"No, no, no, if there is no such person, what will we do for fun?"

The onlookers laughed and laughed after seeing this scene, and said different things, but no one would worry about whether a young man of the human race who had nothing to do with him and was an ordinary man with no cultivation would live or die.

They just saw a good show worth having fun with today.

As for whether this man named Zeng Niu would lose his strength and die, and why he wanted to pull out the black sword, they would not ask deeply.

In the crowd, only the old man who first recognized Zeng Niu had been staring at the thin back, and when he saw that Zeng Niu was about to fall to the ground, his expression was grim and he couldn't care about everyone's laughter and was about to support Zeng Niu.

It's just that he didn't expect that someone was already one step ahead of him in this matter.

And the man did not come from behind him, but from heaven.

"Bang!"

Everyone only saw a white streamer descending from the sky, and the majestic earth fell on the northwest corner of the city, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

"Another one?!" said the crowd who saw the scene.

"Or is it that someone finally can't stand it anymore and decides to give him a ride?"

"Zheng!"

They were answered by a clear sword roar like a dragon's roar coming from the smoke and dust.

The old monk of the Infant Realm, who had wanted to come forward to take a look, stopped and looked at the cloud of smoke and dust that obscured his vision with a strange expression.

"Hmph! The big man of the Heavenly Aspect Realm snorted coldly after seeing the person hiding in the smoke and dust to eat and refuse to show up, and the spiritual power in his body gushed out majestically, and then a spiritual power training was wrapped in the momentum of wind and thunder and smashed into the smoke and dust.

"Boom!" the spiritual power was submerged in the smoke and dust, and then there was a sound like thunder.

Then a stirred spiritual wave swept around with the cloud of smoke and dust as the center, and finally the smoke and dust completely dissipated, and two vaguely visible figures fell in everyone's sight.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"How is this possible? Am I hallucinating?"

"How dare he do this? Isn't he afraid of being hunted down by the strong men of the blessed land?"

"Why him, why is he?"

"The town of the army, which has finally been peaceful, is not peaceful again. ”

The reason it will

There are all these voices of discussion because of the scene they have seen.

A handsome and handsome man dressed in white supported Zeng Niu, who was almost unconscious, with his left hand, and held the sword with his right hand, even if it was a martial artist of the Quenched Five-Story Building, the monks of the Futu Realm were not able to shake the black sword agarwood in the slightest.

"Thank you. Zeng Niu, who was in a trance, raised his head with great difficulty, his lips twitched, and said gratefully to him.

If it hadn't been for the man next to him who came in time and supported himself with one hand behind his back, he would have fallen to the ground now, and life and death would not have been awake for the time being.

"It's just a gesture. Ji Ge said lightly and quietly.

Zeng Niu pursed his lips and was silent when he heard this, but his gaze fell on the black agarwood on the sword body.

It seems that this sword is called agarwood. Zeng Niu thought to himself.

He still remembered that the young man beside him was holding himself on the hilt of the sword that was already covered with blood as he held himself on the ground with one hand just now.

Then I saw him lift it up slightly, and the agarwood that had not been pulled out at all by his strength was so easily pulled out by him and held it in his hand.

"Know what you're thinking. Ji Ge raised his eyes to look at the people with different expressions in the distance, and said softly, "Even if I lend you this agarwood, do you think it will prove that your brother is not a deserter?"

Zeng Niu's face was full of surprise when he heard these words, "How do you know this?"

There should be no third person who knows about this matter except for the shopkeeper in the wine store that day, even his biological father and stepmother themselves did not dare to tell it.

"I went to Dong Kee Wine Shop, and the old shopkeeper was a person who couldn't hold back his words, and I also bought two pots of Xinghua Village there. Ji Ge explained.

"And I can vouch for my life, your brother could never be a deserter, he died a very heroic death. Although he didn't want to uncover the scars in Zeng Niu's heart again, Ji Ge still insisted on saying.

Just as he decided when he came, Zeng Niu had to know the truth.

"Have you seen my brother?" Zeng Niu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyes bloomed, and he grabbed Ji Ge's left hand and asked.

Ji Ge didn't know what he said, just like Zeng Niu saw a straw on the ground before he was dying, he would definitely grasp it in his hands, and he had to grasp it in his hands.

Ji Ge shook his head, feeling the force coming from his left hand, "By the time I got there, he was already dead." ”

So you don't have to prove anything to somebody, because that's what it is. Ji Ge turned his head to look at Zeng Niu, whose blood had dried up at the corner of his mouth, and said in a warm voice.

"If you have to get the truth, if you can hold on, I... I can take you away from being made by the Overseers. Ji Ge only thought for a moment when he said this before he spoke.

"Who are you?" Zeng Niu asked tentatively under the pressure of dizziness in his mind.

"Me?" Ji Ge laughed to himself, "It's just a passer-by who owes your shopkeeper two pots of wine." ”

Hearing this answer, which was not actually an answer, Zeng Niu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and grinned.

"Did you see it, he actually pulled out the agarwood and held it in his hand!" The crowd watching from a distance seemed to finally accept the fact in front of them, and shouted in surprise.

In fact, many of these people tried to draw their swords at the beginning, but in the end, they ended up with a lot of laughter, so after a long time, when they heard again that someone wanted to draw a sword, they rushed to see the excitement.

As a result, the first thing they saw was an ordinary man who did not have the slightest spiritual power to cultivate, which made them feel surprised and extremely satisfied, satisfied to be able to see the people of the mountain who were like clowns jumping off the beam to bring humiliation on themselves in front of their group of cultivators.

But when they were about to leave the scene, the actions of the later ones were true, and they were shocked beyond measure.

"How is this possible?!" said the burly man of the Heavenly Realm in surprise.

Although his spiritual power training just now was offset by his sword qi in the smoke and dust, he was as careful as he could still perceive the wisps of spiritual power realm that belonged to the infant realm from the "clues".

This means that the white-clothed young man in front of him, who pulled out the black sword easily and effortlessly, is actually just a monk in the infant realm.

That's why he couldn't figure it out.

"Who the hell are you?"

Someone in the boiling crowd finally thought of asking such a sentence in the air.

"Just a passerby. Ji Ge carried the agarwood on his shoulder, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said.

Being able to save Zeng Niu in time is indeed a happy thing in his opinion.

Although he was not able to save his brother above the bare ground at that time.

"Why don't you take a break first?" Ji Ge asked, turning his head.

Zeng Niu nodded and said in a low voice, "I hope you can keep your promise." ”

He didn't know who he was, but he had just said he was going to take him to oversee the army.

He remembers, and he can't go back.

"Don't worry, it won't be delayed for too long. Ji Ge said with a smile.

Zeng Niu nodded, and then was helped by Ji Ge to sit on the edge of the city wall, he leaned against the city wall, pretending to be relaxed, "Childe don't worry about me." ”

Ji Ge hummed softly, and then turned his back to Zeng Niu and faced everyone.

"What's the matter? are you going to let me go?" Ji Ge asked as he walked, carrying the agarwood on his shoulder.

The people in front of him still didn't seem to disperse at this time, and blocked the road to death, which Zeng Niu could see that he Ji Ge could naturally see.

"Brother, do you know where this black sword in your hand comes from?" or the burly man standing in front of the crowd was the first to speak and ask rhetorically.

"Listening to this tone, are you trying to scare me?" Ji Ge asked with a sneer.

"I just want to tell you that the puppet is innocent and guilty, the black sword in your hand is called Agarwood, and it is the sword of Ji Qingyun, the lord of the blessed land of Qingyin, so even if you can pull it out now, you won't be able to keep it, maybe it will lead to death. The burly man of the Heavenly Realm said angrily.

"So?" Ji Ge raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll give it to you, do you want it?"

After saying that, Ji Ge made a gesture and threw the agarwood out.

This move frightened the strong man who had a strong back on his back and hurriedly took two steps back.

"It's a chance you don't use. ”

Ji Singer held the agarwood, pointed the tip of the sword straight at the people in front of him, and said with a stupid laugh.
