Ji Qianyun lay on a tiger-skin armchair, stretched out a finger and pressed his temples. In his opinion, Amihan's death was indeed caused by himself, but Amihan had a high prestige in the hearts of the Bo people, almost surpassing him. If he were around, His Highness, the Bo clan, would be useless.
But what can we do if we get rid of Amihan? The situation in the southwest has not improved. The Black Bone Clan, the Zada Clan, and the Anchuan Clan were crushed by the Ming Army in an instant. If they couldn't come up with a good idea, they would be afraid of Shangfeng's wrath, and they would be in a worrying situation. He shuddered when he thought about the torture in the religion. I originally hoped to take over Sichuan in one fell swoop with the power of the Forty-Eight Villages, so that I could become a local emperor.
However, Forty-Eight Village was so vulnerable. The forces he cultivated are now only the Deyilou lineage. Although there are other tribes in the southwest, it may not be easy for him to fight against the Ming army. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Ji Qianyun, Ji Qianyun, your surname is Ji, but you don't have a plan in mind right now. It's really ridiculous."
While he was deep in thought, a woman's voice came from outside the house. Ji Qianyun asked: "Who is outside the house?" The woman said: "It's my slave Duojie." Ji Qianyun thought to himself: "Why is this girl here with me if she doesn't serve the saint well?"
Duojie received permission and pushed the door open. She knelt down first, hooked her right hand on her left shoulder and said respectfully: "Duojie, please see your Majesty." Ji Qianyun sat up and smiled and said: "Everyone else calls me Your Highness, why do you? My king?"
Duojie never raised her head but said quietly: "My ancestor of the Bo tribe has been dead for many years, how can the throne be vacant? Before, we didn't know that the prince was still alive, but now that we know, we should regard him as the king of the Bo. Over the years, the high priest Being arbitrary and authoritative, the people of the Bo people are afraid and dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Now that the high priest is dead, I think His Highness should be crowned king as soon as possible, so that we, the people of the Bo people, can have new hope."
Ji Qianyun listened to what she said and it was very agreeable. He walked up to her, held up her chin with one hand, and took a closer look. He thought to himself: "This little girl is quite pretty." Then she thought again: "Someone must have taught her these words. Forgive her how a humble maid could say them." Then she said with a straight face: " Say, who taught you these words?”
Duojie blinked and said with a smile: "Back to your Majesty, no one taught me, it was Duojie who wanted to say it herself." Ji Qianyun said: "What is your purpose in saying these words to me?" Duojie said: " The king may not know that the high priest hid something secretly and did not give it to the king, which caused the power of the forty-eight villages that the king had worked so hard to cultivate to collapse."
Ji Qianyun released his chin, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He turned his back, clenched his fists and said, "Are you talking about the Heavenly Demon Drum?" Duojie nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Mingjian, your servant said so. It's exactly this." Ji Qianyun turned his head and said, "You could have hidden this matter, so why did you tell me about it?"
Duojie said: "Your Majesty may not know the life experience of this slave. I am the granddaughter of Prince Xian of the Bo people. Instead of treating me favorably, Amihan made me a little maid. I have been ignored since I was a child.
Hate him so much. The slave has one more thing to tell the king. Ji Qianyun said: "What's the matter?" Duojie said: "Please, Your Majesty, do not marry the saint." "
Ji Qianyun turned around, walked slowly to the chair and lay down. He smiled with his hands and said, "I think you are crazy. No matter what, Amihan is the priest of our Bo tribe and has great prestige." Gao, his granddaughter is a saint, why do you want me not to marry her?" Duojie bit her lips, and said loudly with a fiery light in her eyes: "She is not a Bo at all."
This statement surprised Ji Qianyun. He smiled and said, "Go on." Duojie said, "She is Han, and her name is Feng Miaoqing. I heard that she is still a fugitive. Does your Majesty want to marry a fugitive?"
Ji Qianyun heard that Feng Miaoqing was very familiar, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and he said to himself: "By the way, the people I sent to rob the prison that day, among the prisoners they brought back, there was one missing person. This woman is Feng Yuchun's granddaughter. It seems that her name is Feng Miaoqing." He moved his gaze to Duojie's face, narrowed his eyes and said, "You cheap maid, what do you want to say?"
Duojie said: "I, the Bo tribe, have noble blood, and the Han people are all low-breeds. Duojie hopes that the king will make me queen, and I am willing to hand over the demon drum to help the king unify the country." After hearing this, Ji Qianyun became concerned. He laughed loudly, then stood up to help Duojie up, hugged her waist, and said softly: "You are the granddaughter of King Xian, with pure blood. I will naturally marry you. Where is the magic drum that day?"
Duojie stretched out her hand to hold his mouth and said softly: "When the day when the king and I get married, I will offer the devil drum." Ji Qianyun thought to himself: "Okay, you are actually playing tricks with me." He With a wicked smile on his lips, he picked up Duojie and walked to the bed.
Duojie's chest rose and fell, with a faint blush on her face. She whispered, "Your Majesty, who are you?" Ji Qianyun smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing for you and me." After saying that, he put down the curtain and put on his clothes. Throw it on that armchair.
Xiao Yunfan was dressed in a green shirt, carrying a long sword on his back and riding a fast horse to the outside of the watchtower where An was guarding. When the patrol guard on the watchtower saw the stranger coming, he shouted loudly: "Who is here?" Xiao Yunfan reined in the horse's reins and raised his hands and said, "Tell Ji Qianyun that Xiao Yunfan is here to pay a visit." The patrol guard said: "You are here. Wait here."
Ji Qianyun was looking at a map of the southwest in front of a desk when his subordinates came to report to Xiao Yunfan for an audience. After hearing this, he was full of suspicion and thought to himself: "What is the plan of this guy Xiao Yunfan here? Could it be that he wants to persuade me on behalf of the Ming army." Hua Siniang next to Ji Qianyun said: "Your Majesty, last time we burned us He is Deyilou. Since he has come to your door, it is better to capture this man alive."
Ji Qianyun lowered his head and muttered: "Xiao Yunfan is full of tricks. If he comes here alone, he must be confident. Pass the order and let the scouts investigate, and there will be Ming troops following." Hua Siniang took the order and hurried out. Ji Qianyun stood up and walked slowly towards the door.
Not long after, he appeared on the watchtower with his hands behind his back. Xiao Yunfan said: "Your Majesty, don't you want Xiao's head? Why don't you dare to ask for it now that I'm here?" Ji Qianyun looked at him and said, "Since you are here, if I stay behind closed doors, there will be some trouble. That's not the way to treat guests." As he said this, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to lower the suspension bridge.
Xiao Yunfan got off his horse and led the horse onto the suspension bridge. As soon as Xiao Yunfan walked into the gate, the suspension bridge behind him was pulled up. A dozen guards held up their spears to block his retreat. The guard on the tower raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at him. Ji Qianyun said: "Xiao Yunfan, you are a talented person. I admire you very much. Unfortunately, there is a problem with you that I don't like."
Xiao Yunfan looked at the opponent's array and laughed and said: "Please tell me, what is wrong with Xiao that makes you dislike me?" Ji Qianyun said lightly: "You just like to be smart." Xiao Yunfan said: "No. Dare. Speaking of being smart, Xiao is nothing compared to Your Excellency."
Ji Qianyun sneered: "As long as I give the order, I guarantee that you will soon become a sieve." Xiao Yunfan stroked the mane on the horse's neck and said with a smile: "Your Excellency did not take action, which means you do not intend to kill me. Otherwise, you will Why talk more." Ji Qianyun said: "I just said that you really like to be smart. Let me ask you, what is your intention here?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "I'm here to give you a death-free token." Ji Qianyun said curiously: "That's the case, then take out the token and show it to me." Xiao Yunfan said: "Xiao is this free-for-all. Death token, it’s a pity that Your Excellency didn’t give the order just now, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.”
Ji Qianyun put his hands on the arrow stack and said: "You said you are a token of immunity from death. Why should I believe you?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Your Excellency also said that I am a talent that can be created. As for my identity, I want to be I can't tell you in front of so many people. You should know this thing." Xiao Yunfan took out a token from his arms and threw it at a guard.
After taking the token, the guard climbed up the stairs to the watchtower and presented the token to Ji Qianyun with both hands. Ji Qianyun glanced at the token and asked downstairs: "Where did you get this token?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Venerable Wuxiang has accepted me as a closed disciple, and this token was given by him. For me."
It turned out that Luo Jiutian had been carrying this token with him since he and Xiao Yunfan worked together to kill Master Wuxiang that day. It was only then that this token came in use. Ji Qianyun recognized that the handwriting and patterns on the token were the symbols of the Ghost Sect. The material used to cast the token is rare meteorite. From these points of view, it is absolutely impossible to fake it.
In addition, when Xiao Yunfan said the four words "Wuxian Zun", Ji Qianyun couldn't help but not believe it. He immediately ordered his men to put away their bows and arrows, and went downstairs to greet him personally. He turned sideways and said to his subordinates: "I haven't raised Uncle Xiao's horse yet." Then he bowed respectfully to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, don't blame me, it's just that we are facing a formidable enemy. Ji has to be careful."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Mr. Ji, we don't know each other even before fighting. I have a few words that I'm afraid I can't tell you personally here." Ji Qianyun understood, stretched out a hand and said: "Brother Xiao, please Come with me."
The two came to a secret room. The floor of the secret room was covered with thick animal skins, and fine wine and dishes were placed on the stone table. Ji Qianyun stepped back and said: "I don't know when Brother Xiao became the disciple of Master Wuxiang?" Xiao Yunfan drank a glass of wine and said: "A few months ago, my master came to Chishui to help kill me. But he After playing against me, I developed a love for talents.
He also said that as long as I abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will forget the past. The leader will also excuse me, but there is one thing I have to remember. I cannot easily mention my relationship with him to others. Today, Brother Ji, you ordered people to aim their bows and arrows at me. Only out of necessity did Xiao take out the token given by his master to identify himself to you. "
Ji Qianyun said with a smile: "It was Ji who was wrong before, Brother Xiao. However, Ji still has a question and I want to ask Brother Xiao for advice." Xiao Yunfan looked at him and smiled and said: "Brother Ji, please tell me." Ji Qianyun said: "Just now What is the death-free token you are talking about?"
Xiao Yunfan said seriously: "Master asked me to assist Brother Ji to complete the great cause of our religion. I had to stay undercover next to Li Yingxiang, but Brother Ji did not discuss things with Xiao, which is why we are in today's situation. I said the death-free token The first thing is that I am here to help Brother Ji repel the Ming army. As long as Brother Ji stabilizes the situation in the southwest, Master can also intercede for you. As long as Master opens his mouth, I think this matter will be much easier. "
Ji Qianyun said with a worried face: "Brother Xiao, now that the Ming army has gathered a large army and will attack in less than three days, do you have a good plan to deal with it?" Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "That's natural, think about it, if Xiao doesn't have a good plan , how could he risk his own life to help you?" Ji Qianyun's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, what good idea does Brother Xiao have?"
Xiao Yunfan said slowly: "I have been undercover in Li Yingxiang's army for a long time, and I know the military situation of the Ming army very well. They came from far away to conquer, and there is no enough food and grass. As long as we send a team of people to burn Li Yingxiang's granary, then his army will not be able to survive." Fight and retreat.”
Ji Qianyun said happily: "This is indeed a good strategy. Tomorrow, the leader of the Mahu Miluo tribe will be with his cousin An Xing, Bai Lu from the Papaya tribe, Yang Jiuzha, the robber from Leigongpo, and me. As for the alliance, let’s arrange this together.”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Okay, but it's best for Brother Ji to take them under your command, so that we can do things with twice the result with half the effort." Ji Qianyun nodded and said: "Brother Xiao doesn't know, Ji has been infected with Chi You's blood The refining was successful." Xiao Yunfan thought to himself: "Oops, if that's the case, I won't be able to deal with Prince Duan."
Ji Qianyun said proudly: "This blood of Chi You is a sacred object of our Bo tribe. Ordinary people can prolong their lives if they take it. But if we martial arts practitioners take it, our martial arts will be greatly enhanced." Xiao Yunfan raised his wine glass and touched it with him. He said at once: "Congratulations to you then." Ji Qianyun said mysteriously: "Brother Xiao, please don't report to His Holiness that I took Chi You's blood."
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "That's natural." Ji Qianyun said: "Brother Xiao doesn't know that Chi You's blood is divided into the blood of the master and the blood of his ministers. I just need to quietly mix my blood into the cups of the four leaders, Then they will obey me obediently."
Xiao Yunfan was shocked and thought to himself: "It seems that the method of refining blood that Divine Doctor Yun said that day was not a lie. Now that Ji Qianyun's skill has increased dramatically, I'm afraid I am no match for him." He glanced at Ji Qianyun and then looked at him again. Looking at his wine glass, he frowned and asked, "Brother Ji, there won't be your blood in the wine I drink, right?"
Ji Qianyun pointed at him and smiled: "How can I have the courage? Brother Xiao is really good at joking." Xiao Yunfan picked up a piece of venison and put it into his mouth. Ji Qianyun said: "Brother Xiao, please stay a few more days. After we defeat the Ming army, please stay and attend my wedding banquet."
Xiao Yunfan said curiously: "Brother Ji is getting married. Oh, what a coincidence. Xiao came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Please forgive me." Ji Qianyun laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, whatever you said, you can do whatever you want." It's a big honor for Ji. You've already given me a big gift. As long as we defeat the Ming army, the leader will be very happy, and the reward will be yours and mine."
Xiao Yunfan lowered his head and thought deeply, thinking: "Is it possible that Ji Qianyun married Miss Feng in this wedding?" His face changed slightly, he glanced at Ji Qianyun and asked, "Then which girl is so lucky?" Ji Qianyun hesitated. He said with a beard: "Originally, I planned to marry a saint from my Bo tribe, but this saint is a Han."
Xiao Yunfan felt relieved and said: "Han people, do you think you are Han or Bo when you choose a woman?" Ji Qianyun said: "Brother Xiao must also know this Han woman." Xiao Yunfan pretended not to know: "I know her?" Ji Qianyun said Qian Yun said: "This Han woman is Feng Yuchun's granddaughter, her name is Feng Miaoqing." Xiao Yunfan slapped his forehead and said: "When you say that, I have some impression of the Feng family prisoner who was rescued from prison that day."
Seeing Xiao Yunfan's calm tone, Ji Qianyun asked immediately: "Brother Xiao, is it because you have feelings for this woman that you took the risk to rob the prison?" Xiao Yunfan's eyes met his, and he knew that Ji Qianyun was testing him. Then he smiled and said: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. What I saved was the young man of the Feng family. Feng Yuchun has a close relationship with my master, so I came to rescue him."
Ji Qianyun said: "Oh, that's it, this girl is quite pretty. Why don't we let her accompany Brother Xiao tonight." Xiao Yunfan said: "This can't be done." Ji Qianyun showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. Said: "Brother Xiao risked his life to save her. Shouldn't she agree to it? Brother Xiao, don't worry, leave this matter to me."
