Ji Yangyu sat up with difficulty and looked at the man in confusion. The man understood the confusion in Ji Yangyu's eyes, pointed to the water bag on the ground and nodded.
Ji Yangyu hesitated for a moment, but the man in front of him exuded a sense of friendliness, which made people unable to be wary.
'Gudong - Gudong - Gudong -'
Ji Yanghe lifted up his water bag and took a big sip. The extremely cool mountain spring water flowed down his throat and into his stomach. The taste was actually more refreshing than the sweetest wine in the world! But in the blink of an eye, most of the bag full of mountain spring water was gone, and the feeling of dryness in the mouth disappeared instantly.
Ji Yangyu wiped his chapped lips, then tightened the plug, stood up and politely handed the water bag back to the man in blue, saying: "Thank you!"
The man in blue smiled even brighter and said, "You're welcome!"
"Dare I ask brother..."
The first thing Ji Yang felt when he regained consciousness was a sense of confusion. There are often ferocious beasts and venomous snakes on the main peak of Qianniu Mountain. Most people would not appear here, but the person in front of him stood in front of him with a calm expression. Although he felt it from this person. There was no fluctuation of the breath of heaven and earth, but Ji Yang concluded that this person was by no means an ordinary person, and the way this person looked at him... always had a familiar flavor, as if he had been looked at like this before. I stared at it, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
Seeing Ji Yang and asking about it, the man in blue suddenly showed a hint of sadness and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just here to remember an old friend."
Old friend? Ji Yangyu was even more confused. He had lived in Qianniu Mountain for so many years. Are there any other residents in this deep mountain and old forest?
Just when Ji Yangyu was a little confused, he heard the man in blue say again: "Just to meet Mr. Ji for a while."
This person actually recognized himself! ? Ji Yangyu suddenly became vigilant. When the man saw this, he quickly explained: "I have heard about Mr. Ji's name for a long time, and I wish I could see him. But if I see you today, it's a lifetime wish!"
The man bowed down with his hands in hand, his tone and posture were extremely polite and pious. When the man straightened up again and their eyes met, Ji Yangyu suddenly understood why this gaze gave him a familiar feeling - this gaze I had seen it from Jiang Changming's eyes back then. Both of them were so hot, like burning torches, but Jiang Changming's was full of jealousy, like the fierce fire in the dog days of summer, while this person's was On the contrary, his eyes were full of appreciation, as if the flames in the sky were warm.
Facing such a man, Ji Yanghe felt a little more curious in his heart, and what the man said next completely convinced Ji Yanghe that this person was by no means an ordinary person. Just listen to the man in blue say——
"It's just a pity that I couldn't witness Mr. Ji's rebirth."
Ji Yang and Da were surprised. Not only did this person hide the breath of heaven and earth in his body, but he also saw that he had failed to break through the realm just now. He really hid it deeply!
"Did you, brother, see the process of my cultivation just now?"
The man in blue nodded, and seemed unwilling to hide anything when facing Ji Yang and him, and said sincerely: "I came here twelve hours ago. I wanted to say hello to Mr. Ji, but at that time Mr. Ji I have started trying to break through the situation, so I didn’t show up to disturb.”
Ji Yang and Yi Jing, twelve o'clock? Has this person been with you all day? Didn't you notice it at all? If he has evil intentions, then...
Ji Yang and Qiang suppressed the shock in their hearts and asked bluntly: "Brother, are you an 'enemy' or a 'friend'?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Yangyu regretted it, because it only took a little analysis to deny this possibility - since this person knew that he was trying to break through, it meant that he knew that he was in the most vulnerable state, He did not choose to hurt himself, but instead silently guarded him for twelve hours, including driving away the tiger for him just now, so naturally this person would not be an 'enemy'.
"What about 'enemy'? What about 'friend'?"
The man in blue smiled faintly. He didn't seem to care much about this. Then he sighed softly. Instead, he seemed to feel sorry for Ji Yang and the wasting of all previous efforts due to the sudden danger at the last moment. He said, "It's just that Mr. Ji has already touched it." At the threshold of Tianshu Realm, it is really a pity to fall short even if you don’t want to.”
Ji Yangyu said indifferently: "If you fall short, you are not capable enough, so it is not a pity."
The man in blue shook his head and said, "Although Mr. Ji is very knowledgeable and talented, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about breaking the Ji and entering the Hub, right?"
The man in blue is right. After all, there are only a few Tianshu Grandmasters in the world, and those who have experienced this are very rare. Ji Yangyu had asked about this before when his husband was still alive, but his answer only had four words - a narrow escape from death. As for other things, he didn't say much more.
Seeing what Ji Yang and Tao Mian said, the man in blue said: "I have guarded the gate three times for the same person. Three times, my life was hanging by a thread, and all three times... I failed..."
one person? three times? Total failure? Ji Yangyu was a little shocked.
"If you want to find this threshold, you don't go looking for it, but it comes to you." Recalling the experience of guarding the gate for others three times, the man in blue still seemed to be frightened, saying: "Maybe you can find it between life and death. But how many people can survive this difficulty?"
You don't go looking for it, but it comes to you? It seems that it is a pity that this opportunity has passed. However, although Ji Yangyu felt regretful, he did not get entangled in it. He calmed down a little, cupped his hands and said: "I can't repay the kindness of half a drink. If you don't dislike it, please step aside and wait for me to do it for you myself." A few side dishes to express my gratitude——"
After hearing this, the man in blue laughed dumbly and said, "Mr. Ji...does he still have cooking skills?"
Ji Yangyu then smiled and said confidently: "I know a thing or two."
"Oh? Hahaha -" the man laughed loudly.
Ji Yang smiled and said, "How about it? Brother, are you willing to give me a favor?"
I thought that the man in blue would readily agree, but unexpectedly he waved his hand and said: "Now that my wish is over, I won't come to disturb you anymore. I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave—"
After saying that, without waiting for Ji Yanghe to open his mouth to persuade him to stay, he turned around and disappeared into the jungle, leaving Ji Yanghe alone standing there in a daze.
…
The man in blue came all the way from Qianniu Mountain, and it was already afternoon when he returned to the Lu family compound.
The man walked all the way to the small courtyard in the north. This was originally where Lu Xiu lived, but in order to show his sincerity, he had given it up for the Wang brothers to live there.
The man in blue pushed the door open. Upon seeing this, brothers Wang Qing and Wang Yuan quickly dropped the official documents in their hands, walked straight out of the house and came to the man, and said respectfully: "General Han!"
The man in blue is none other than General Han Duduzi Han Si of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
He was the one who led the troops in Luodu this time. After the situation in Luodu was under control, he disguised himself as a servant and took the opportunity of visiting New Tang Dynasty to come to Chang'an again. After arriving in Chang'an, Han Si went to pay homage to Wen Junchen's tomb without even taking a break. After laying three sticks of incense for Wen Junchen, he went to Qianniu Mountain, whereupon he had the encounter with Ji Yang that he had earlier. .
Han Si - the son of General Han Dudu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was named Han Si because he was born in Si time.
Han Si was born and raised in Zhangzhong. Although he has been serving under Han Danzhong, everyone in the Northern Wei army knew that sooner or later he would take over the command from his father. As we all know, Han Shan relied most on his "Five White Horse Generals" in his military operations, and among these five generals, the one that made his opponents shudder the most was the "Trapped Camp" led by Han Si! Its name is taken from the word "charge into battle". It is called a battalion of thousands of cavalry. They are all elite soldiers wearing strong armor and holding hooks. When faced with the enemy's spear formation defense, these strong and sharp cavalry will Rushing to the forefront and tearing a hole in the enemy's army, this battalion is known as "Death and No Life". Since Han Si took over this battalion, he has been unfavorable in the past battles, making all enemies frightened. If things go on like this, Han Si is in the army. His status has gradually become one person below ten thousand people.
Facing the great gift from the two Wang brothers, Han Si returned the favor and said, "Han's trip this time has caused a lot of trouble to the two adults. I hope you will bear with me——"
Wang Qing quickly waved his hand and said: "General Han, our status as a great Wei depends entirely on the Prime Minister and the general and his son. We are lucky to be able to come, go, eat and live with the general!"
Han Si shook his head, then smiled and said: "Speaking of 'food', since we are here in Chang'an, why don't we go to the best restaurant in Chang'an? It's not a waste of time."
Wang Yuan and his brother looked at each other and said, "Being respectful is not as good as obeying your orders, so why don't we... be rude?"
With a burst of laughter, everyone went back to their houses and changed into casual clothes, preparing to go out and experience this ancient capital.
…
Han Si was wandering aimlessly on the street. Perhaps it was because he had lived in the military camp for a long time, or because he had fulfilled one or two wishes. Now that he was in the busy city, he felt a little inexplicably relaxed, and he interacted with the people around him from time to time. He was talking and laughing, but where was the majestic and solemn look of the past?
Everyone's nervousness gradually relaxed, and they were no longer as restrained as going out. They thought that Han Si was a decisive and unsmiling general like his father, but after getting along with him all the way, they discovered that Han Si was actually like this after taking off his military uniform. He is easy-going, not only chatting and laughing with everyone, but also constantly introducing various things about Chang'an to everyone. He is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and everyone praises him.
As the group of people walked, Wang Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Everyone looked up and saw Mr. Xiao Wang standing in front of a shop selling rouge and gouache, reluctant to move, with a trace of indifference on his face. Sorry.
Wang Qing looked at his brother and then into the shop. He couldn't help but laugh. He walked up to Han Si and said, "General, this brother of mine can let go of everything, but he can't let go of his wife. My sister-in-law happens to be a person who loves beauty, so every time she goes out, her brother-in-law will bring something back for her, either some earrings, hairpins, or some rouge and gouache, right? He must be thinking about buying something for her now. Take his precious wife back home."
