Yuhang City, beside the Qinhuai River.
The rows of sailboats are moored quietly on the water. Compared with the hustle and bustle at night, they are particularly quiet.
The second floor of a building with colorful flags.
In the room, Miss Xiang Ning's jade body lay across the room, lying lazily on the brocade couch. Because the temperature was still high, her two white python-like long legs were pressed against the silk quilt.
There was only a dark green bellyband hanging on his upper body. At this time, Shi Shiran yawned and stood up.
Yuzu stepped on the knitted carpet on the floor, walked straight to the dressing mirror at the table and sat down with her buttocks twisted. She grabbed the dark green hairpin and tied up her messy hair.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the small hall door outside the curtain, and then the sound of the door being pushed.
"Zhu'er, please put your breakfast on the coffee table. I'll eat it later." Xiang Ning looked in the mirror and was tracing her eyebrows and hair with a piece of charcoal.
The next second, from the bronze mirror in front of him, he saw that the person who opened the bead curtain behind him was not the maid, but a man with a strange appearance.
"Ah——" Xiang Ning's beauty turned pale, she stood up hastily, covered her eyes with her hands, and said angrily:
"The business is out of business. Who are you? How dare you break into the building without permission? Someone is here..."
"No need to act." Ji Ping'an's expression was calm. His eyes only glanced at her graceful figure and then moved away. There was no trace of covetousness or greed at all.
When Xiang Ning heard the familiar voice, her delicate face was startled and she said:
"It's you?"
As an Anzi of the demon clan, she has a very strong memory.
React immediately:
The person in front of him was disguised. He was the mysterious and powerful man who had disguised himself as "Mr. Sun" last time and came here to find out the information about "Cursed Killing Sanren".
And as her screams came out, there was no movement outside, which proved this.
Xiang Ning put on a smile and no longer covered it up. She twisted her white figure and showed it wantonly:
"Your Excellency has not been here for a long time. I thought you left after destroying the Banyue Villa."
Ji Ping'an ignored the other party's gestures and said:
"There's no need to test it. What happened at Banyue Villa last time was indeed my fault. To be honest, it was all thanks to the information you provided."
Xiang Ning felt aggrieved and cried:
"It's obvious that your Excellency is demanding it by force, how dare the slave family disobey."
Ji Pingan said curiously:
"You didn't leave but stayed here, which somewhat surprises me. Could it be that you can't bear to part with this piece of meat?"
Xiang Ning smiled sweetly, twisted her white and dazzling waist, and said:
"Your Excellency is not a member of the imperial court, and you have not shouted to kill the slave family. Presumably, you are not that pedantic person who conquers monsters, so why bother to escape? On the contrary, the slave family is looking forward to your return these days, so as to make connections. ...Hehe, we are in this business, so it’s always good to get to know more people.”
It's about combining some people... Ji Ping'an chuckled.
He could probably guess the reason why this demon clan dark boy didn't change his identity, and he didn't point out the reason, saying:
"I came here this time to ask you to find someone."
"Listen here, slave." Xiang Ning cooperated very well.
Ji Ping'an talked about what happened in Mud Bottle Lane last night and said:
"This matter must be within the eyes of your demon clan."
How to find Fang Shijie?
Because of the rebirth, the method of astrology and divination is ineffective. One has to seek help from the government and find it through "investigation", but this is not only too slow, but also difficult to see the light of the matter.
Fortunately, Ji Ping'an caught a glimpse of a black cat in the starlight review screen.
Xiang Ning blinked her big eyes and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when Ji Ping'an stared at her with cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she said:
"I did hear something... To be precise, the Nu family was originally eyeing Yi Jingzhai, but they just happened to happen upon this incident."
Staring at Yi Jingzhai? Ji Ping'an thought about it for a moment and was not surprised.
After all, he, "Li Anping", has no longer kept a low profile in his repeated contacts with the Pei family and even the government office, and it is normal for him to come into the sight of the demon clan.
"Continue." Ji Ping'an said.
Xiang Ning did not say a word, but smiled as brightly as a flower. She was wrapped in a gust of fragrant wind and passed by Ji Ping'an. She took a sip of cold tea and then said:
"That little fat man was captured out of the city by a group of people. He left early in the morning and hid in a caravan. If we chase him, we should be able to catch him in time. But... all the stinky men in this city know that if you leave from the slave's house, you have to pay a certain amount of money. Money, you asked for information twice, but you were so stingy..."
In short, four big words:
Prostitution is prohibited!
Ji Ping'an smiled half-heartedly: "What if I force it?"
Xiang Ning twisted her hips and sat down helplessly, saying:
"Then I, a weak woman, have nothing to do."
Ji Ping'an was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Then what do you want?"
Xiang Ning smiled foolishly and said, "I don't dare to be greedy for more. I just want to know which force you belong to."
After a pause, she tentatively said:
"It's not the imperial court. Is it one of the five major sects? Or is it the resurgent Four Saints? Or... the human world?"
When she said this, she stared at the strange man without blinking, as if she wanted to catch a glimpse of the subtle changes in his expression.
But she was disappointed.
Ji Ping'an's expression did not change at all, but thoughts were swirling in his heart:
Yaozu Anzi was curious about his identity and was not surprised. Several speculations are reasonable. After all, there are only a handful of forces with the strength and motivation to investigate the "Reborn Person" incident.
But some situations were also exposed, namely:
Although the Yao clan has placed spies in Yuhang, the information they have is not detailed.
At least, they don’t know about the whole chain of events surrounding the “Cursed Killing of Sanren” and the Four Holy Sects, or even the “Mage’s Broken Body”.
Therefore, she was unable to determine whether Ji Ping'an belonged to this sect.
However, it was the last name she spoke that attracted more attention.
"In the human world?" Ji Ping'an asked calmly, without hiding his curiosity and unfamiliarity with the name:
"what is that?"
Seeing that he didn't look fake, Xiang Ning was a little suspicious, but she still explained:
"There is a new organization in the Jiangnan area. It is very mysterious. Like you, it is also very interested in abnormal events in various places... Well, the slave family's knowledge is very limited, so I don't know the details."
The same purpose as yourself?
New organization?
Ji Ping'an's heart moved, he secretly wrote down the name, shook his head and said coldly:
"What if I don't answer?"
Xiang Ning sat down next to the coffee table, opened the drawer, took out a wooden box, and unscrewed it.
Digging out the loquat paste with your fingers, spreading your legs and wiping it evenly as if no one else was watching, and hummed:
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. The kidnapped little fat man walked out along the east city gate. Such a big caravan is easy to find..."
As he spoke, the wind blew through the room, and the bead curtains shook.
She raised her head and found that the mysterious man had disappeared.
"Why are you so impatient..."
She muttered, only to hear movement on the ship again, with thoughts and curiosity in her eyes:
"Mud Bottle Alley...Yijingzhai..."
On the other side, Ji Ping'an used water escape to speed along the Qinhuai River, and with a "pop", he burst out of a canal outside the east city gate.
Then he flipped his palm over and took out the simple and square six-pointed astrolabe to astrologically predict his "destiny" for the next period of time.
When it comes to reborn people, be careful and you won’t make a big mistake.
"Huh?"
The next second, Ji Ping'an let out a light sigh, thoughtfully, and immediately identified the direction, put away the compass, and walked quickly away.
…
…
"What's the fuss about?"
Fang Shijie shouted a few words, footsteps approached, the thick car curtain was opened, and the sun poured in.
Outside the iron cage, a man with a flat nose and dark skin was revealed. He was dressed as a caravan guard, with sharp eyes and a fierce temperament.
Staring at Fang Shijie with a bad expression.
The first-generation God Emperor was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and said:
"Who are you? Human trafficking, violating the laws of Dazhou..."
The black-faced guard seemed to smile and said with interest:
"You are Muboxiang, the only son of the Fang family, that's right."
Fang Shijie hesitated and said, "Do you believe me when I say I'm not the one?"
The black-faced guard said haha and lowered the curtain.
Fang Shijie grasped the iron cage railing with his two small hands and said urgently:
"Wait... is there some misunderstanding? You may have arrested the wrong person."
The God-Emperor was keenly aware that this was definitely not a simple kidnapping case. The other party was basically here for him.
"That's right," the guard said calmly:
"Don't think about escaping, and don't waste your energy. Come back with us, someone will interrogate you."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain, and the carriage became dark again. Only the carriage was still moving, and the carriage was undulating. It was certain that it was on a relatively bumpy road.
Fang Shijie knelt down in it in a daze, then suddenly let go of his hands and leaned back in the corner of the iron cage, his face solemn.
In his mind, several key words in the other party's words flashed back, as well as the calluses on his hands that could only be caused by holding weapons all year round.
"The people who arrested me were the Zhou army?" His heart sank.
There are three reasons to support this judgment.
First: This person has an obvious military aura - different from ordinary guards and warriors, the temperament of a soldier born in the army is unique. It may be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but for the God-Emperor who has led troops and fought in battles all his life, it is too much. obvious.
Second: It was probably morning at this time. Judging from the sunlight, the convoy had left Yuhang and headed east. Combined with the words "go back" and "interrogation" in the mouth of the guard, it was very likely that it was heading to the military mansion.
Third: it’s motivation.
"Could it be that the things I was tossing around in the city finally attracted the attention of the court? Well, if there are more than one 'ancient people' like me who have reborn in the world, then the one who is sitting on the dragon throne now, my useless Future generations will definitely be aware of it... It is not difficult to understand why we sent troops to conduct a secret search."
"Well, speaking of which, last time, soldiers arrested the fortune-teller tenant next door and put him back...perhaps because of the investigation."
Fang Shijie's heart sank.
Strong uneasiness welled up in his heart: This was not the script he had envisioned!
"Bang bang bang!" After thinking about it, he rushed out again, stuck his hand out from the gap in the cage, and smashed the car.
"What are you making a fuss about again?"
The black-faced guard opened the curtain for the second time, his tone full of impatience.
Fang Shijie stared at him with a serious expression:
"Do you know who I am?"
The soldiers guarding Qiao Zhuangcheng's caravan were stunned for a moment, frowned and said:
"What do you want to say?"
He was a little irritable and thought this child was a little weird.
Fang Shijie's expression was gloomy, and his demeanor suddenly changed. He looked down at the soldiers and said:
"I am the first generation God Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have buried a military treasure house in Yuhang, which contains countless treasures. But now I am trapped in this childish body and it is difficult to escape. Now as long as you quietly rescue me and escort me to Yin Yang Academy. Wait. When I regain my true appearance, return to the divine capital, and take back the throne, I will definitely make you the Great Eastern Divine General and take charge of military and political power..."
The black-faced soldier looked confused and immediately sneered:
"There's no point in pretending to be stupid. If you don't want to be whipped, just calm down for me!"
As he said that, he raised his fist, pretending to fight. Seeing the little fat man sitting back in fright, he couldn't help laughing and lowered the car curtain again.
At this time, someone came over from the front of the motorcade and exchanged substitutions: "The captain calls you."
The black-faced soldier hurriedly walked over, arrived at the front of the caravan, and looked at the officer posing as the guard captain:
"Boss, what's going on?"
The captain asked: "What is that kid doing?"
The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty consisted of five men in a team.
After the failure of a large group of troops led by Sun Xianzu of the Dadong Military Mansion and being imprisoned, they were broken into pieces in order to avoid attracting the attention of other forces.
Searching and kidnapping suspected "reborn persons" everywhere. Of course, these low-level officers are not qualified to know such secrets and simply follow orders.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just pretending to be dumbfounded. I seem to be scared." He said nonchalantly.
The corps commander nodded and warned:
"Don't talk too much to the target. Just keep silent. Be cautious."
The black-faced soldier hesitated and said:
"Captain. It's not like this for a child. I've also checked it out. Not to mention practicing. At this age, it's impossible to even master martial arts. Could it be that the wrong person has been arrested..."
The captain shook his head and said:
"This is not something you and I should think about, go ahead."
…
In order to keep a low profile, the group of people mingled with the caravan, so the speed was naturally not fast. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. At noon, the caravan stopped at the roadside to cook.
Fang Shijie was not qualified to get out of the car and could only sit helplessly in the cage.
Through testing, he was basically sure that these lower-level soldiers did not know their identity.
At this time, he tried his best to think of various escape plans, but they were all ruthlessly crushed by the body of a seven-year-old child.
The first-generation God Emperor laughed miserably and closed his eyes, feeling sad in his heart.
Outside the carriage, the black-faced soldier responsible for close guarding ate in a hurry and felt the urge to urinate.
Seeing that the convoy was parked in place, he took a step forward and hurriedly entered the dense forest on one side.
After draining the water, he shook his head vigorously, and when he turned around, he saw a black shadow fiercely coming towards him.
"boom!"
Ji Ping'an casually knocked the soldier unconscious, glanced at the motorcade in the distance, then looked at the urine on the soldier's clothes, and frowned slightly.
After a brief thought, he forced out the "golden Gu" hidden in his arm, and then with a flick of his finger, he drove a transparent Gu into the soldier's body.
The next second.
The soldier woke up slowly and subconsciously wanted to shout, but he only saw Ji Ping'an smile slightly and control the other's consciousness.
Ji Ping'an asked: "Who sent you? What is your purpose?"
Bold, how can you be a monster... The black-faced soldier was conscious and wanted to curse, but he was horrified to find that he opened his mouth and replied:
"I am affiliated with the Dadong Military Mansion, and I will accompany the team to arrest suspicious people..."
Then, he explained how he was going to investigate in Yuhang City, learned about Fang Shijie's special characteristics, and prepared to arrest him, but the other party happened to bump into him.
Ji Pingan was speechless for a while:
"Okay, go back to the team and wait for an opportunity to bring people over to see me."
You think so... The soldier resisted in his heart, but under the influence of the Gu, he seemed to have split into another personality. He tied his trousers in compliance and returned to the convoy.
His eyes were rolling around, a little anxious.
The caravan was crowded with people, and there was another soldier guarding nearby. He didn't know how to start.
I don't even know what Ji Ping'an meant by "waiting for opportunities".
Just when there was nothing to do, the convoy started and started on the road again. At this moment, the horses in front of the caravan suddenly neighed and screamed, showing extreme uneasiness.
The sergeant's ears perked up as he held his saber, and he heard the sound of a bow coming from the forest ahead.
"Buzz!"
An arrow made of bamboo, covered with a faint fluorescent light, came through the wind, whipping up strong winds and swaying the trees.
As a practicing martial artist, the captain drew his sword out of its sheath and chopped the mountains and rivers with all his strength. The tip of the sword breathed air and roared:
"Enemy attack!"
The faces of the warriors in the team suddenly changed, and they stepped forward one after another. One of them said to the black-faced warrior:
"You keep your target, I'll go take a look."
"good!"
He answered subconsciously, and then watched the caravan in chaos, with a large group of guards driving the cars skillfully and forming a circle with the carriages as a formation to resist foreign enemies.
He suddenly grabbed the key from his waist, opened the curtain, and in the confused eyes of the first generation God Emperor, opened the iron lock, pulled the little child out, and lowered his voice:
"Don't make any noise, I'll take you away."
Fang Shijie was stunned and overjoyed, wondering if the tentative deception before had really worked?
Busy nodded vigorously, covered his mouth, and let the black-faced soldier hold him under his arm.
In the chaos, they escaped using the cover of a carriage.
Following the Gu insect's induction of the "Golden Gu", he ran wildly along the dense forest.
No... don't... Captain... the prisoner ran away... The black-faced soldier's "body consciousness" struggled wildly, but he could only watch as he successfully robbed the prison.
After running a few hundred meters, he tried his best to control his body to slow down, turned his head and glanced back, and saw a powerful sword light rising from the ground in the distance, engulfing the entire caravan like a devastation.
"..." The black-faced warrior was stunned for a moment, turned his head decisively, and urged frantically:
Run, run!
I was shocked, not knowing what kind of incident I was involved in.
…
On the ninth day after returning home, I was urged to get married every day, and my condition was extremely bad. Kavin...
