Chapter 40 2 Difficulty!
Chapter 40 Dilemma! (Please read on)
In front of the gate of Zhennan Prefecture.
Qin Muye looked at Bai Yuji in the carriage with some resentment: "Are you really going to leave me alone at home?"
"No way, who made you a patient?"
Bai Yuji smiled at him and said, "Take good care of yourself at home. When you are well, I will accompany you wherever you want to go!"
Qin Muye waved his hands speechlessly: "Come on, you only know how to make empty promises. Go back to sleep. Come back early."
"have a good rest!"
Bai Yuji gave a few more instructions and then lowered the curtains.
The moment the curtains were lowered, the smile on her face slowly dimmed and disappeared like fireworks after blooming, leaving only the loneliness of the night sky.
I felt lost for a moment.
She sighed softly: "Let's go!"
Afterwards, the carriage headed towards the camp headed by Qin Yanying.
At the gate of Zhennan Mansion.
Qin Muye looked at the carriage going away, and his eyes became serious.
These days, he always felt that Bai Yuji's mood was a little off.
But I couldn't tell what was wrong.
The only thing that is certain is that when Bai Yuzhi met the remnants of Nanzhao that night, they must have discussed some plans, and it was this plan that raised the quality of Qin Yanying's fate.
However, although the fate grade has improved, the annotations have not changed much.
This is a bit confusing.
Moreover, this plan might not only target Qin Yanying, he might also be involved in it. However, he could not take his own fate into consideration, which made him even more annoyed.
but.
His intuition told him that there might be some major changes during this trip to Anjin.
Honestly.
He was a little angry.
To this world, he is an outsider, but that doesn't mean he has no sense of identity.
Putting aside other members of the Qin family, he at least recognized Qin Yanying as his aunt.
He knew that Qin Yanying had participated in the war to destroy Nanzhao, so he could understand why Bai Yuji had bad intentions towards her.
But these days, Qin Yanying treats Bai Yuji like her daughter.
Personally, he still can't accept it.
Qin Muye shook his head and returned to his room.
Lie down.
Close your eyes.
Soon I sensed another body.
next moment.
In a certain inn.
A figure sat up from the bed.
This is a tall man, wrapped up tightly with only his stern face showing.
He stood up and stood in front of the mirror for a while, looking at his eyes that were a mixture of gemstones and metallic luster in his eye sockets, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he put on his hat and went out.
This is Qin Muye’s masterpiece these days.
Although his physical body is weak, it does not affect the strength of the puppet at all.
All the materials were above the passing line, and the puppetry skills were nearly perfect, plus he had fifth-grade spiritual cultivation, and the spirit core of combat skills that had been recorded through the Gongshu family connections.
This puppet can easily exert strength above the fourth rank.
After leaving the inn, he went straight out of the city, following the imperial guards led by Qin Yanying not too far away.
Taking advantage of the early morning light, we walked towards Anjin County.
The sight passed through the dense crowd.
The backs of Qin Yanying and Bai Yuji can be seen from a distance.
Qin Yanying rode the Lingxi dragon horse that had been with her for many years, and Bai Yuji rode the white horse bought at the official market. The two of them talked and laughed, and their relationship seemed extremely close.
It's just that they are too far apart and there is too much noise in between.
Qin Muye couldn't hear what they were saying.
……
Anjin County is very lively today.
As the closest of the three prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of Kyoto, Anjin accommodates a large number of non-core officials and wealthy families in Kyoto.
More spare money is naturally conducive to the development of business, making Anjin County no less prosperous than Kyoto, and the atmosphere is also more comfortable.
Every year on the tenth day of the tenth month, a seven-day temple fair is held here to commemorate the ancestors of each family who followed Taizu in founding the country.
The time of the temple fair is close to the triennial imperial examination for all races, so this year's temple fair is particularly lively.
Qin Yanying pointed at the city gate and said, "Yuji, go in and take a look by yourself. We are mainly patrolling the south city wall, so we won't go in."
Bai Yuji looked into the city gate, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems to be more crowded inside than in Kyoto. If we go in, we will just look at people. Why don't we go outside the city? It seems to be quite lively outside the city as well."
Qin Yanying thought about it and realized that although Anjin City was lively, there was actually no essential difference between it and Kyoto.
However, outside the city wall, there are many traveling merchants who cannot find stalls in the city, which is quite a different experience.
but.
She glanced at the purse on Bai Yuji's waist and said, "If you just visit the stalls outside the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to spend your money!"
Bai Yuji smiled and said, "There's nothing good to buy in the city."
Qin Yanying straightened his chest and glanced at his brothers behind him: "See? This is a good girl who lives a peaceful life. Look at the behavior of you guys, fighting for the favor of those women who only think about money every day. Wouldn't it be better to use this energy to practice hard to break through the sixth level?"
Everyone was scolded so much that they shrank their necks.
One of them said with a smile: "Isn't this because we don't have the luck of the young general? If we can meet a sensible woman like the young lady, even if she is not very pretty, we brothers will beg for our lives!" "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Who says it isn't?"
"The young lady was obtained by the young general's good deeds. How could we be so lucky?"
Qin Yanying folded his arms and leaned back tactically, obviously enjoying the words.
Who doesn’t like others praising their children?
Bai Yuji didn't know what to say, so he just smiled awkwardly. Then he dismounted from the horse with Qin Yanying and patrolled the road beside the city wall.
There are special people to check the city gates.
They are responsible for checking for suspicious people in the neighborhood.
Especially on both sides of the Anjin River.
This river runs through the entire Anjin County and is the commercial artery of Anjin. There are underwater checkpoints at the entrance to the city to check passing ships, but there are people with ill intentions who dive in. Therefore, extra imperial guards will be dispatched during critical periods to patrol the upper and lower reaches of the Anjin River.
The embankments on both sides of the Anjin River are important patrol areas.
While patrolling, many imperial guards were looking towards the manor in the distance with eyes full of envy.
Qin Yanying glanced at them and cursed, "Stop looking! Practice hard, break through the fifth rank, and become a thousand-man commander. Then you can buy a house here when you are old."
Then, he pulled Bai Yuji's sleeve and whispered, "Yuji! Old man Chen Sui is planning to buy a house here. If you and Muye want to live by the river to change your mood, you can come over anytime."
"My uncle lives here?"
"With his salary, he can't afford a house in Kyoto, so he can only buy one here. He often brings me here during his days off..."
Qin Yanying realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject: "It's the building those guys were eyeing just now. Let's go quickly so that he doesn't find us. Otherwise, he will definitely come after us and it will be very annoying."
"Ok!"
Bai Yuji nodded and became nervous.
The planned place is coming soon.
Right at the riverbank.
The Yali has a dragon's head and a tiger's body. It is a ferocious beast that has existed since ancient times. Its strength is at the peak of the great demon level, half a step away from being a demon king. It is roughly between a third-grade grandmaster and a second-grade martial god of the human race.
Because of its complex bloodline, Yali's fertility has always been weak, and it is currently known that it only has three sons.
The youngest son was a human named Hu Huan, born to him and a viper monster, whose true form was a silver-ringed tiger python.
Although Hu Huan's cultivation limit was not high due to his mother's lowly bloodline, and he only managed to break through to the fourth level when he became an adult, he was still loved by Yayu because of his young age.
After Hu Huan grew up, he fell in love with a snake demon. Although the snake demon's bloodline was lower, Yali did not stop him.
On the third night, the snake demon shed its skin. Because the silver-ringed tiger python's bloodline was too strong in yang energy, it needed to choose a place in the shade of a river to shed its skin.
After the molting, they took the snake away and did some cleanup work.
But for those masters who are sensitive to smells or have outstanding spiritual perception, this cleanup method is not foolproof.
obviously.
Bai Yuji, a genius among Gu practitioners, is very sensitive to smells.
But she felt a chill on her back. Li Runyue was nominally under house arrest, but he was able to collect such detailed information. Not only did he arrange accommodation for Hu Huan and his wife, he could even calculate that they would shed their skin by the river.
and so……
Do I really want to lure Qin Yanying over there?
If I do this, Qin Yanying will definitely go to jail. After Qin Muye finds out, will he never forgive me?
But if he didn't do it, the boys and girls and pregnant women would already be in Hu Huan's mansion.
If Qin Yanying didn't go, these poor people would die.
If you want to save Qin Yanying and those poor people at the same time, the best way is to turn around and inform Chen Shu immediately. With his identity as the commander of the Jinyiwei, there will be no problem as long as he can stop Qin Yanying.
But if that happens, the plan will fail.
How can I be worthy of the remnants of Nanzhao?
A faint sweet and fishy smell penetrated into the nose.
Bai Yuji was in a state of confusion.
"Yuji?"
"what?"
"What are you doing standing there? Why are you so distracted?"
"Auntie, I..."
Bai Yuji was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Who would have expected it at this time.
Qin Yanying's face suddenly changed, and he quickly jumped off the river bank and ran towards the riverbed.
Upon seeing this, the imperial guards quickly followed.
Qin Yanying picked up a handful of soil, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and his voice suddenly became shrill: "Great demon bloodline, descendant of Yayu!"
Bai Yuji: “???”
The centurion's face turned pale with anger: "Coach, didn't Hu Huan report that he would arrive in ten days? How come he arrived earlier?"
Qin Yanying cursed, "This beast's wife is pregnant. Pregnant snake demons love to eat young boys and girls! Brothers, find her for me!"
Say it.
He immediately signaled the team of a hundred people to disperse and divide into ten teams to cross the river.
Bai Yuji was startled: "Aunt, you can smell this? Did you make a mistake?"
Qin Yanying's face was gloomy: "I have seen Yayu and beaten Hu Huan, so my intuition can't be wrong! Yuji, this is not within our authority, but human life is at stake. Let's go save them first, and you go find Chen Sui immediately!"
"Auntie, please don't..."
"Go!"
Qin Yanying jumped onto the Lingxi Dragon Horse and flew straight into the air.
Bai Yuji: “!!!”
