Inside Yandang Pass.
After the guard Song Wenfeng was exposed and taken away by Lu Ping, the deputy general Yao Mi naturally became the commander of Yandang Pass. At this time, he was sitting in front of the surviving spy. The interrogation had been going on for a while, but he found nothing. The physical condition of these two people also became worse and worse. The doctor on standby came up to remind him. Song Wenfeng waved his hand helplessly, signaling the doctor to come forward for treatment, while he himself paced around the stone house impatiently.
"Sir." The doctor stepped forward to check the status of the two men, and then quickly returned to Yao Mi. "I suggest you do some treatment first, and it would be better to let them rest for some time before interrogating them."
"Oh?" Yao Mi raised his eyes and looked at the two half-dead people. Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly remembered something and his eyes became sharp, staring straight at the doctor.
"What's your name?" Yao Mi suddenly asked.
"Wu Dian." The doctor replied.
"Thank you, Doctor Wu." The sharpness in Yao Mi's eyes quickly subsided, as if everything was just unintentional.
"Sir, walk slowly."
Yao Mi left the stone house with the doctor's compliments. The cronies guarding the door immediately came to greet him. Yao Mi didn't say anything, just winked towards the room.
Someone who could become his close confidant would naturally be able to understand Yao Mi's intentions. Without showing any doubts, he nodded immediately and did not follow Yao Mi away. Instead, he continued to guard outside the stone house silently.
Yao Mi was walking inside the pass, and soon another subordinate came to him.
"How about customization?" Yao Mi asked immediately when he saw the person coming.
"There's nothing wrong with customization." There was an expression of disbelief on the visitor's face.
"How?" Yao Mi was surprised. Lu Ping flew into the customs and bumped into at least three customizations. In the end, the customizations had no effect. He must have destroyed them randomly. However, according to reports from his subordinates, the customizations were actually safe and sound.
"Customization is not activated?" Yao Mi thought about it and it seemed that this was the only possibility.
"It was launched..." the subordinate said with certainty, "but it was not damaged."
"So you're saying that he broke in and touched the customization, but he didn't use any means to destroy it. He just broke in as if nothing happened?" Yao Mi said.
"That seems to be it." said the subordinate.
"This, this... check it again!" Yao Mi insisted that there was something wrong with the customization.
"I've checked it three times. I even tried it myself." The subordinate said, rolling up the sleeve of his left arm to show Yao Mi. He could see the web-like burns on his forearm, which were obviously branded just now. This is indeed the injury caused by Yandang turning off a certain mechanism in the protection customization. Obviously, like Yao Mi, this subordinate deeply suspected that there was something wrong with the customization, so he tried it in the flesh. But now it seems that the problem is not customization, but road leveling. That young man had some tricks they didn't know, which made their customization useless.
"Fortunately, he is not an enemy." Yao Mi said, and suddenly thought of something, "Where is the girl he left behind?"
"Isn't that there?" His subordinate pointed towards the gate. Yao Mi looked up and saw Su Tang standing on the wall of the gate in the wind, looking in the direction of the gate, as if waiting for Lu Ping's return.
"Isn't she seriously injured and needs more rest? Why did she run away?" Yao Mi said.
"This girl is also extraordinary. Her speed of recovery is amazing." said the subordinate.
"Who are these people?" Yao Mi muttered to himself. A child of an aristocratic family like him would instinctively pay attention to, and even make friends with, extraordinary people. While muttering, he also stepped towards closing the door, and soon he came directly to Su Tang's side.
"Girl, you should rest more." Yao Mi said as he approached.
Su Tang looked at him and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't fight, you just rest."
Yao Mi was stunned. This kind of words is very similar to the pretentious and stupid words used by some dandies in Dongdu, but they don't want to say it from the mouth of such a girl. Thinking of his subordinates talking about her amazing resilience, Yao Mi knew that this was not a lie.
"Close more customization. The girl is not familiar with it, so be more careful." Yao Mi turned to customization.
"I won't move." Su Tang said.
"Sir!!" Suddenly, a subordinate rushed over.
The communication between Zhengjue and Su Tang went smoothly, and Yao Mi, who might be able to find out something from her, was a little annoyed when he was interrupted, and glared angrily: "What are you shouting for?"
"Someone is coming!" the subordinate shouted.
"Who?" Yao Mi's expression immediately tightened. If they were from the academy or the empire, their subordinates wouldn't have to look so fussy.
"Yes...yes..." When the words came to his mouth, this servant's tongue began to get knotted, and he was unable to say a name.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense, but please come and see for yourself." The subordinate finally said.
"Is it Lu Ping?" Su Tang asked at this time.
"No." The person shook his head.
Yao Mi didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly walked towards the closed observation deck. Su Tang followed him quietly. Yao Mi noticed but did not stop him.
On the observation deck, the cultivators stationed here are all strong Chong Zhi Po. There is also a crystal mirror set up on the stage, so what you can see is extremely far away. Yao Mi heard a lot of noise on the stage. It seemed that everyone was talking, and he couldn't hear what was being said for a while. After he arrived, everyone immediately became quiet, and the person who was lying on the lens quickly gave up his position.
Yao Mi looked around at the crowd with some suspicion. Their expressions seemed to be more excited.
Who is coming?
Yao Mi didn't ask any more questions, and moved closer to the crystal mirror to look at it. The angle of the crystal mirror was adjusted just right, and at a glance he saw several people walking towards Yandang Pass on the cliff. Their clothes were similar in color, and they were divided into three teams intentionally or unintentionally. And at the front of them, there was another person with a high bun on his head and a blue and white mandarin skirt. From the looks of it, he looked like the rocks and cold snow of this far north. It was extremely incongruous, but it was the most popular appearance among girls in the prosperous Eastern Capital. In her arms, she was holding a sea-blue pipa.
Yao Mi was stunned for a moment, and fully understood why these subordinates were in a strange state. Because this woman who was walking in the front and seemed so out of place with everything around her was an out-and-out big shot.
Her name is Zhaoyinchu. Before she became famous, she was just a singing girl who could be seen in the many hook bars in Dongdu Huaxiang. But after she became famous, this flowery alley in Dongdu called Tianshui Hutong suddenly became a heroic place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Goulan restaurant where she was located was renamed Zhaoyin Fang, and became as if it were a Los Angeles city in the northwest. general existence.
Among the six powerful people in the world, Zhaoyinchu is the least mysterious one.
Too many ordinary people in Dongdu have seen her when they wandered around the Flower Street, and even Yipinfangze.
And among the six powerful people, she is the most sudden one. It seemed that overnight, this ordinary singing girl who was not even an oiran suddenly became a powerful person, the best in the world.
Even she may not be able to adapt quickly to this sudden change. Zhaoyinchu, who has become one of the six strongest men, seems to have no desire to change. But everyone she knew had changed, and everyone became very sensible. The Goulan area where it was located quietly became her property, and even the land deed that the original proprietress had coveted for a long time but never got was actually transferred to her through the inn.
Many people have disappeared from the East since then. This was all their own initiative. Zhaoyinchu seemed to have done nothing or wanted to do anything from beginning to end. She didn't even come up with the new name Zhaoyinfang on her own initiative. Instead, she called it out unknowingly, and then she acquiesced.
But Zhaoyinfang's property and even the land title are actually insignificant things. This is the Eastern Capital, the center of power of the Qingfeng Empire. How can the ripples caused by the appearance of such a big shot be measurable in material terms? For a time, many even legendary figures appeared here one after another.
However, to this day, Zhaoyinfang is still open for business, and Zhaoyinchu is still one of the singing girls. Even the most ordinary people, as long as they come to Zhaoyinfang, will have the opportunity to hear the music she plays. As for taking it a step further... no one knows if it's possible. After all, after that day, too many people didn't even dare to think about it.
Yao Mi came from a big family. Not only had he met Zhaoyinchu and listened to her music, he even knew that all the aristocratic families, big families, and even the Qingfeng Empire who tried to win over and please this powerful man did not get satisfactory results in the end. Let it go.
No one knows what Zhaoyinchu is thinking or wants.
But at this moment, this big man who was the top of the continent and whom no one could understand suddenly appeared here, heading towards the Yandang Pass guarded by Yao Mi.
Yao Mi couldn't care less about being surprised. It was his duty to guard the gates. Facing such a big shot, he had to panic and show respect for the first time.
