The next day. April 26, morning. There was light rain last night, but today the sky cleared up and the sun rose brightly.
The main hall on the right wing of the seven-story building is the Meridian Division Hall. It has carved railings and jade, a red lacquered bronze door, two rows of guards, and the door opens inward.
At the bottom of more than ten steps is a small school ground at the entrance of the Meridian Department, with ancient trees on both sides. Going down the steps in front of the door, there were two people standing.
Baiyun, the commander of the seventh floor, was dressed in white, with long hair hanging down his chest, standing tall and floating; beside her was a maid with a straight back and a steady breath, holding an oil-paper umbrella for her to shade her from the sun.
"Da Siming, Third Siming is sorting out the news found in the past few days. Let the slave family take you to the meeting hall first." A woman in green came quickly, hurriedly walked down the steps, walked to Bai Yun, and committed herself to Bai Yun. He gave a blessing and greeted with a smile.
The woman in green is none other than Gao Meng, the chief steward of the Meridian Department. Baiyun smiled slightly,
"Don't go in, let her come directly here."
"Yes, please wait a moment for Chief Siming. The slave family will go and notify Third Siming immediately." Gao Meng hurriedly bowed and retreated, and hurried to Meridian Pavilion.
Not long after. Zhao Mingyun, the third commander on the seventh floor, rushed out, jumped down the steps and worshiped in front of Baiyun.
Da Siming was standing at the foot of the steps. She went to see a Siming from the Meridian Department. How could he be qualified to stand on it?
"I've seen Da Siming." Zhao Mingyun knelt down on one knee and saluted with clasped fists. Bai Yun's face still looked like a smile but not a smile, looking gentle and humble.
"The poster asked you to place the reward order for only seven days. It's already the fifth day. Is there any news about Ji Ruge? Tell me." Zhao Mingyun replied: "Go back to Commander, on the second day, according to the News came from the Sixth Division that Lan Sha and Zi Yi met a middle-aged man who might know Ji Ruge in Langzhou, but they lost him. I have ordered people to do their best to find this man's whereabouts. Furthermore, my subordinates Ji Ruge's identity has been found out: Ji Ruge, the official assassin in our building, comes out every three years. In the year he comes out, he must be the first in the ranking of assassins in the building. As for the few years he has been hidden, he has never taken on any tasks. His ranking It still won't fall, because the missions he accepted have the highest bounties, and the cumulative bounty amount is far higher than the second place. As of last year, he has ranked first for nine consecutive years. The subsequent rankings often change, but his first place has not changed. Yes. His common name is Xiao Yu. He has three apprentices. Two of them are the two old men who raised him. One is called Yuan Gu. He was once a nominal assassin in our building, ranked 372nd, and has martial arts skills. It is a set of incomplete swordsmanship. The other one is called Li Changgeng, a wandering old man. It is said that he has some connection with the Kunlun Sect of Kunlun Mountain, which had a great change many years ago. Ji Ruge's strange Qinggong was taught by this old man. , I heard from Lan Sha that his Qing Kung was strange, unexpected, and extremely powerful. Shuxia guessed that it was a kind of Qing Kung that was lost to the Kunlun sect. As for his last disciple, he was one of the Four Great Masters in the World from Dui Yi Valley in Mount Lu. He is crazy about playing chess, and his martial arts secrets include "Tian Yuan Four Sons Sword Technique" and "Liu Yun Flicking Finger Sanshou Kung Fu", and his internal skills are famous for "Sitting and Watching Kung Fu". The first two are reflected in Ji Ruge. As for internal skills, according to Lan Sha recalled that this person's internal strength was extremely high, and it was not like a state that could be achieved by practicing "Sitting and Watching Kung Fu" for a year. His subordinates had already found out that this person was a good friend of Li Luo, the second daughter of Li Bai of the Li Sect in Lushan. Luokong Shan Wuji Taoist The third disciple, Poinsettia Qin Shuang, is also a good friend. Except for Li Changgeng and Yuan Gu who have left the customs, the others are all in the Central Plains. Including Duyi Valley in Moyun Mountain; Dinghu Mountain where Li Zong is located and the Duan family in Fuzhou where Li Luo is located; Qin Shuang Our people were keeping track of Ji Ruge at the boundary of Luokong Shangua, but no trace of Ji Ruge was found. Lansha and Ziyi chased them all night, but found nothing. There were also reward orders and Jianghu pursuit orders for heavy rewards. , this person seems to have disappeared and has never been found. Please punish me, Chief Commander!" After hearing this, Bai Yun still had a smile on his face. He just paused briefly and then asked: "Are you sure he is still in the pass?" Zhao Mingyun clicked. He nodded: "All the beggars in the world are for my use. There are my people in all the fortresses. When the spies came to report, there was no such person." After hearing this, Bai Yun said: "Can you become a member of our building?" The number one assassin on the ranking list has been hidden for many years. It is a coincidence that he is known as Xiao Yu. I can't find this person's whereabouts. No wonder you. I'm afraid Feng Yi doesn't even know that his disciple is the famous 'Ji Ruge' in the world. Okay. Haha, then add the reward to the Jianghu pursuit order, list it out, and call on all assassins. Not only will the reward for the task be ten times, but an additional 300,000 taels of silver will be added as an additional reward for hunting down Ji Ruge. Instead, we will pursue Ji Ruge indefinitely."
"Yes, I will obey the order." Zhao Mingyun replied with fists in hand.
"Okay, let's go back now. No need to send it off. Remember, if there is still no news about Ji Ruge in two days, you and Lan Sha will have to deduct half a year's salary." Bai Yun's face is still so shallow After saying that with a smile that was like a firework in the world, she led the waiter holding the umbrella and turned around and left. After walking about ten feet, she remembered something again, so she turned to Zhao Mingyun and said again: "By the way, a People can't disappear for no reason, maybe they are disguised. You might as well go to the Fourth Department of Magic and ask Yu Chun. Isn't she proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements Bagua, and disguise? Ask her, Maybe it will be helpful for you to find out about Ji Ruge." Bai Yun hadn't gone far yet, so Zhao Mingyun naturally didn't dare to get up.
"I will obey the commander's orders!" After hearing Bai Yun's words, Zhao Mingyun bowed slightly and said,
"Farewell to the Commander-in-Chief." Zhao Mingyun suddenly realized after being reminded by Bai Yun that she had forgotten that there are also people who can disguise themselves as magicians!
He thought to himself: Maybe this time Ji Ruge was disguised and was wandering around under the eyes of the Meridian Department spies, but they turned a blind eye!
But we now have a direction to search for. As a powerful person under one person on the seventh floor, Da Si Ming's vision is really formidable!
After seeing off the chief minister, Zhao Mingyun immediately ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, led Gao Meng and several servants, and hurried to the fourth department, the Shu Department.
......at the same time. Liangzhou, Weiyang County, Kangsu Town. Changlou Restaurant. Xiao Yu slept comfortably all night. The first thing she did when she got up was to change her body and face. After a simple wash, she went downstairs and grabbed two steamed buns in the dining room before setting off.
Dressing like a rich scholar, he was able to satisfy his dandy's addiction to sightseeing, eating, drinking and having fun.
In addition to relieving victims of disasters all over the world, the money I earned on the seventh floor over the years was too much to spend. With the folding fan in hand and the sword hanging on his waist, he was still a handsome young man from a wealthy family, but there was something wrong in his stomach. A few ounces of ink, or else you can recite a poem and sing a tune, and have a leisurely trip.
She originally wanted to mind her own business and expose Ruan Qingchou's ugly face, but now was a critical period. After thinking about it, Xiao Yu decided that it would be better to have more things to do than less things, so she simply left early and went around, out of sight and out of mind.
He raised his hand and threw out nearly five pieces of broken silver. The waiter holding the horse on one side took it, smiled broadly, and thanked him quickly, shouting
"Dear guest, go slowly, distinguished guest, go slowly!!" I thought happily that I met a rich young man again, how nice it is!
Xiaoyu reined up his horse and left the stables of Changlou Restaurant and continued on his way. Another half day passed. Noon on April 26th.
The sun is shining brightly. After riding for half a day in the light rain, it was very hot. When we passed the border creek of Weiyang County, we were ready to find a shade to rest.
