Chapter 33 Murder, North
Xiao Er led Ji Feng to the shopkeeper's house, and then closed the door and left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough guests often mention the shopkeeper from Yecheng, Ji Feng saw him for the first time, and after seeing it, he was slightly surprised by Ji Feng.
Yecheng is not far from Xueyin City in the north, the weather is cold, the people are good at drinking, and they are many bold people, but the shopkeeper of this Muyang Building looks a little wooden, the grade is not big, and there are some frost marks on his face, which adds a bit of sadness to him.
"Are you Ji Feng?" shopkeeper Zhang didn't seem to be jealous of the rumors that he was a demon.
"Yes. ā
"I am familiar with your master Xiao Yi, this time someone from Yecheng, he asked someone to bring you a letter, let me pass it on to you, I still wanted to go to you, but you came to the door yourself, which saved me some effort.
By the way, your master Xiao Yi also asked me to help you as much as possible, if you have something, although you can try it with me, it may not be possible, but try to help. ā
When the shopkeeper Zhang spoke, he was not wooden at all, but his words were sincere, and he was a person worthy of trust when he heard it. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked to the cabinet at the head of the bed, took out a delicate small wooden box, and did not shy away from Ji Feng, so he hit the wooden box with a key, Ji Feng glanced at it, there were a lot of jewels in the wooden box, and the shopkeeper Zhang only took a letter from it.
The shopkeeper handed the letter to Ji Feng and admonished:
"This letter burned after reading it in my room, and this letter is really important. After speaking, the shopkeeper walked out of the room, and even the small wooden box was not locked, which showed his trust in Ji Feng, or Xiao Yi.
Ji Feng took the letter and glanced at it, it was just an ordinary envelope, but this letter seemed to be a little heavy, the letter was sealed with fire paint, and the fire paint was not damaged in the slightest, no wonder the shopkeeper Zhang said that this letter was important.
Opening the envelope, Ji Feng took a look, in addition to a piece of stationery, there was a thin piece of almost transparent paper, Ji Feng took it out and looked at it, and was immediately startled.
This transparent piece of paper is much heavier than expected, and there is a sharp feeling when touching this fiery red paper, as if you are stroking the blade of a knife, this is actually a thin piece of iron! But such a thin piece of iron as a cicada's wings, Ji Feng is unheard of, not to mention that this piece of iron is actually a brilliant red.
Looking at the iron sheet carefully, there is only a cursive 'Hua' character, this Chinese character seems to come casually, but it seems to be deliberately carved, between the heart and the heart, Ji Feng's attainment in calligraphy is not deep, and he can't tell the good from the bad, but this word gives people a feeling of ease.
Under the word 'Hua' are three dazzling clusters of fire, Ji Feng was almost so shocked that he wanted to throw down this iron piece, because at first glance these three clusters of fire are not very unusual, but carefully identify, the fire on this iron sheet seems to be alive, and it is still burning, endlessly, as if someone has hidden the fire in this iron piece for life.
Ji Feng stretched out his hand and gently touched the fire, the fire flinched slightly, but in an instant, a more violent fire erupted, and a faint purple spark suddenly gushed out on top of the original yellow and red fire, this spark was so faint that it was almost impossible to see, but this cluster of fire was more vital than the previous three fires, and Ji Feng could even feel the anger of the cluster of fire, the anger after being offended.
The moment he saw this piece of iron, Ji Feng remembered the five Flaming Nation people he met in Guanghua City what they were looking for, although the five people were unclear, but Ji Feng could barely hear that they were looking for a very thin piece of iron, the more Ji Feng thought about it, the more he felt that this thin piece of iron was what the Fire Nation people were looking for.
Ji Feng suppressed the doubts in his heart, picked up the letter paper and looked at it, there were only a few strokes on the letterhead,
"Ji Feng, I haven't seen you for two years, I really miss the days of Guanghua City as a teacher, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in the future, take care of yourself, learning swords is not a day's work, you must practice diligently.
You must have lived a peaceful life in the past two years, and peace also has the benefits of peace, I didn't want to disturb you, but there is something I have to tell you.
I got an iron scroll of the Fire Nation by chance, if you go to the extreme north of Izumo Province with this iron scroll, you may have the opportunity to join the Donghua Gate, but this opportunity is not like the competition in the famous sword gate, there is no way back, once you enter this extreme northern land, you will die for a lifetime, and you will not even be sure to save your life as a teacher.
I've been getting this Volcane for some time, and I've been unsure whether to send it to you, until the gates of the Far North are about to open, because there are some things I can't decide for you.
I really miss the days of Guanghua City, and I want to live well. ā
After Ji Feng read the letter, his face did not change, but his heart was like a surging wave.
Master Xiao Yi is not dead!
Ji Feng originally had a lot to ask Xiao Yi, wondering if Immortal Master Ling Yuanqing was killed by Xiao Yi, and wondering why Xiao Yi didn't return, but now he found that knowing that Master Xiao Yi was still alive, this was enough.
Ji Feng looked at the Fire Flame National Iron Coupon in his hand, his heart was hot, Xiao Yi knew that he wanted to go to Donghua Gate very much, but he was worried that he might die in the extreme north, but Master Xiao Yi didn't know why he wanted to go to Donghua Gate, it was not a quest for immortals, but there might be news of his parents and grandfather there.
Therefore, in this extreme northern, Ji Feng has to go, not to mention nine deaths and one life, that is, ten deaths and no life, Ji Feng also wants to break into it!
Ji Feng walked to the long table in the shopkeeper's house, there was a pot of sandalwood lit on the wooden table, Ji Feng lit the letter with incense, received the fire country iron roll into his arms, and walked out of the shopkeeper's room.
When the shopkeeper saw Ji Feng coming out, he didn't ask, but Ji Feng spoke first:
"Shopkeeper, I have something to bother you. ā
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ā
"Do you know how to get to the Far North?"
"The land of the extreme north, even north than Xueyin City, there are not many people there, and the most famous 'howling wolf rider' in Xueyin City does not dare to enter easily, if you want to go, you must be careful. Although the shopkeeper was surprised why Ji Feng wanted to go to such an inaccessible place, he didn't ask, only the road was far away, and he needed to be careful.
"Guanghua City is far from the far north, the road is not thousands of miles, it is really difficult to go alone, but I have a few friends, they travel between Yecheng and Guanghua City all the year round, Yecheng and Xueyin City are not far away, if you follow them, there is a response on the road. ā
"That's the best thing to do, I don't know when I'm going. ā
"Coincidentally, they have been resting for a few days since they came back from Yecheng, and their next trip will leave early tomorrow morning, if you want to go, I will say hello to them tonight." ā
If you want to go tomorrow, it is really a bit hasty, Ji Feng has not yet said hello to Uncle Dong and Aunt, after thinking for a while, Ji Feng still made up his mind to leave for Yecheng tomorrow.
"Shopkeeper, but can you do me another favor, I went this time, I don't know when I will be back, but there are still old people at home, can I borrow some money, but I don't know when I can pay it back." ā
"Money is a trivial matter, is three gold baht enough?"
The shopkeeper Zhang is unequivocal when he talks about money, three gold baht is not a small amount of money, and he can take out ten gold baht at will, that is because he is a great family in the capital, but the shopkeeper takes out three gold baht, which is almost half a year's profit of this Muyang restaurant, and I am afraid that the thrifty uncle and aunt Dong will not be able to use it up for a lifetime.
Ji Feng bowed to Shopkeeper Zhang, and Shopkeeper Zhang was busy supporting Ji Feng,
"You are Xiao Yi's apprentice, and you are also half of my nephew, when I escaped from Yecheng and survived, it was all your master Xiao Yi who helped. Later, he didn't let me help, at most he drank some Yecheng 'Aoki Yaki' in my restaurant, and now he said, let me help you, even if it is to repay his favor, you say that my life is not worth three gold baht!" Although the shopkeeper Zhang is honest, when he speaks, he is arrogant.
Ji Feng stopped talking, he couldn't say the words of gratitude, and the kindness was only remembered in his heart. Ji Feng and Shopkeeper Zhang walked down the restaurant together, and as soon as they arrived downstairs, they heard Shopkeeper Zhang shouting:
"Boss Cao, come over quickly, I want you to do me a favor. ā
"Here, here, shopkeeper Zhang can easily not ask for help! Today's 'Aoki Yaki' has to be invited by you. ā
"Please, I'm invited! The guests who came to my Muyang Restaurant today will give each person a pot of 'Aoki Yaki' for free. ā
"Okay!"
When Ji Feng heard the sound, a strong man with a scruffy beard and a middle-aged uncle came to the restaurant together, and was stopped by the shopkeeper Zhang before he could sit down.
Ji Feng recognized these two people at a glance, he had been in a coma in the restaurant for five days, and when he woke up, he went downstairs and heard these two people talking about the famous sword gate competition, but two years have passed, and they have not changed much, but they have changed a lot.
"Ji Feng, this is what I said about Boss Cao, who often goes to Yecheng to work, you follow him this time, but it is a lot more convenient, why don't you come to get to know him. Shopkeeper Zhang pointed to Boss Cao and said to Ji Feng.
"Boss Cao, my nephew is going to Xueyin City, can you give him a ride and take him to Yecheng?"
"What big deal am I talking about, don't talk about one person, I'll bring you ten people, or your nephew, I think you're much more handsome. "Mr. Cao is bold and straightforward, and his speech is even more straightforward.
"In Xia Cao Mucai, your uncle is Cao Boss, Cao Boss calls me so, you can call me Uncle Cao! Yecheng, I will go before dawn tomorrow, the weather is hot during the day, I can't rush much, if you also go with you, you have to take care of it first. ā
"Yes. ā
"Your nephew is like a little daughter-in-law, she doesn't like to talk. Boss Cao laughed.
"Go, you drink. "Shopkeeper Zhang is not angry.
"Ji Feng, come and get the money with me, but are you in a hurry to get home now?"
Ji Feng thought about it, he walked from here to Tangqian Village for two hours, and it was faster to run, but the time to say goodbye to his uncle and aunt was a little tight.
"Why don't you rent a horse and get a lot faster?"
"Rent a horse, come to my house and pull one, nephew, walk now, when I walk, there is not much in the house, just horses." Cao Mucai hadn't sat down yet, and when he heard Shopkeeper Zhang's words, he stood up again and said to Ji Feng.
"Who is your nephew, and he has come to take advantage of it. The shopkeeper scolded on his lips, "Ji Feng, you go to his house and pick a good horse, anyway, you can use it for the road, and I will pay you the horse money." ā
Cao Mucai didn't drink the free 'Aoki Grill' anymore, and turned around and walked out of the Muyang Restaurant with Ji Feng.
Along the way, Ji Feng can be regarded as the eloquence of Cao Mucai, he can pull anything from the south and the north, after all, he walks all the year round and has seen a lot of things, and later when he talks about his horse, he even talks about it for a long time, Ji Feng didn't talk about it all the way, and he can also talk about it himself.
However, after seeing the horse in Cao Mucai's house, Ji Feng realized that Cao Mucai did not say anything big. The house in Cao Mucai's house is not big, the stable is much more spacious than the room, there are dozens of tall horses, their fur is shiny, their spirit is good, and they are fed with good forage.
Cao Moucai picked a big black horse from the stable, patted the black horse's neck and said, "This horse is a good horse at the foot of Baicong Mountain, so I will give it to you." ā
Ji Feng knew that there were good horses on Baicong Mountain, among which the best horse was called Hei Li, there was one in the family of Baili Guichen, and Xu Lao used it to pull the carriage, which was really insulting to Hei Li's prestige, Cao Moucai's horse, although it was not as good as Hei Li, but it was also a rare good horse.
Ji Feng glanced at the black horse, then turned over and jumped on the horse's back, the black horse snorted heavily in his nose, as if he wanted to break free, at this time Ji Feng's legs holding the horse's belly and the hand holding the horse's back suddenly exerted force, and the force exploded in an instant, tightly clamping the black horse, such a domineering force, the black horse couldn't move, only neighed, and then quieted down.
"Chasing the shadow is easy to disobey, it took me three months to tame it, and as soon as you sat on it, it was in civilian clothes, I really want to give it two punches, eat so much grass from me for nothing. Well, I'll give you this shadow chase in the future. ā
Chasing Ying stretched out his tongue and licked it on Cao Moucai's face, as if he wanted to comfort Cao Moucai, Cao Moucai waved his hand, and Chasing Ying stopped.
"Thank you. Ji Feng clamped the horse's belly between his legs, waved his hand at the horse's buttocks, and chased the shadow and rushed out quickly.
In Tangqian Village, Ji Feng knelt in front of Uncle Dong and his aunt, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Uncle Dong and his aunt's nurturing grace, Ji Feng had nothing to repay, this time he went to the far north, life and death were uncertain, Ji Feng could only plan for the worst.
Ji Feng gave all the three gold baht to his uncle, and with this money, even if he died in the far north, the old man could enjoy his old age with this money.
Uncle Dong sat in front of the hall and didn't say a word, there were tears in the corners of his aunt's eyes, although Ji Feng only said that he had news from his parents and went to the north to look for it, but it was really unimaginable for the two old people who had only been to Guanghua City at the farthest, the north was not as good as Guanghua City, there was a difficulty in going home, and I didn't know when I would return from this trip.
The aunt instructed a lot of instructions, I wanted to make some food, but I was really in a hurry, and the other instructions were also non-stop, and when the words were finished, it was already midnight, Ji Feng had to set off tomorrow morning, so he persuaded his uncle and aunt to rest early, and he rode back to chase the shadow.
Although the uncle and aunt are asleep, but the long night is long, and the relatives travel far away, who can sleep?
No one can sleep, and no one should be asleep!
Ji Feng rode back to the city, and when he arrived at Guanghua City, the night was almost dawn, and Cao Mucai should also set off at this time, Ji Feng didn't go to find the convoy immediately, because he still had one more thing to do.
He's going to kill two more people!
Ji Feng hid his horse in the bushes outside the gate of Guanghua City, and he slowly sneaked into Guanghua City, and as soon as he entered the city, Ji Feng hurried to the Thorn Shi Mansion.
There are many lieutenants in the Assassin's Mansion, and the guards are quite tight, but these lieutenants can't stop Ji Feng. Ji Feng's biggest study in the past two years is the swordsmanship that Xiao Yi taught him. The more you study, the more you understand the essence of this sword technique, which is the real method of assassination!
The Shadow Thorn Five Strikes, the skills of the best assassins in Yecheng, the top killing techniques, and assassination methods are unsurpassed. When Xiao Yi and Zhang Linyuan were fighting, they attacked head-on, and with Zhang Linyuan's superb sword skills, they couldn't escape, if they were killed secretly, who else could escape Xiao Yi's sword.
Although Ji Feng's skills are much inferior to Xiao Yi, his opponent is not a figure like Zhang Linyuan. Sneaking into the Assassin's Mansion, Ji Feng is familiar with the road, this is not the first time he has come to the Assassin's Mansion, in the past two years, Ji Feng has been here several times, and he has already found out the Assassin's Mansion.
This trip to the north, life and death are unpredictable, and it is time to make a decision!
Ji Feng took out the 'blood drink' and slowly sneaked into Guan Yuansheng's room, Guan Yuansheng had been practicing in the Famous Sword Sect for five years, and he had finished his practice half a year ago and stayed at home. Ji Feng walked briskly on the floor, but there was no sound, if you could see Ji Feng's feet, you would find that the muscles on Ji Feng's legs were sometimes tense and sometimes soothing, as if breathing was as natural.
Five steps before stepping into the bed, Ji Feng jumped up suddenly, this leap was still silent, drinking blood and piercing Guan Yuansheng's heart, Ji Feng's body blood was not hot, but cold, Ji Feng was the first time to kill, but it seemed to be engraved in the bone marrow familiarly, Guan Yuansheng opened his eyes for two years, and seemed to be in disbelief, Ji Feng only looked at him coldly.
Guan Yuansheng felt a little familiar with Ji Feng's eyes, he had seen such a look in Ji Feng's eyes twice, it seemed that something was about to jump out, it would definitely be something that shocked the world, and now it has begun to escape......
This sword is for yourself.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Feng sneaked into the room of Thorn Shi Guan Cao, and with a wave of the dragon tooth, he slashed through Thorn Shi Guan Cao's throat, and Guan Cao died in his sleep.
This knife is for a hundred miles to return to dust.
After assassinating these two people, the sky was about to dawn, Ji Feng hurriedly sneaked out of the city, rode chasing shadows, and chased Cao Moucai towards the northbound road.
