after the villain

17.

When Ji Wuming and Yan Jingyu were rushing out of the city, Lin Yuezhi was exchanging information with Guan Duhong—or Gong Yi.

Guan Duhong was indeed as he said, he was a scholar at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and he was indeed an orphan with bad luck. Converting money and studying with the class teacher for several years.

He doesn't have a solid foundation, and his other knowledge is mediocre, only his daughter's family's make-up skills and ventriloquism are excellent.Later, due to various reasons, he was transferred to Anyang City, and Lin Yuezhi used the high monthly silver income for his own use and became a spy.

When the evil palace had an accident, Guanduhong had only stayed in the mansion in the outskirts of Anyang for six months, and Lin Yuezhi would not have reused him so soon if it wasn't for the shortage of manpower.

Fortunately, Guan Duhong is really easy to use.

"There are some clues about the people who fought with Chi Luochan in Huaiyang City. There are two people, one is the mad Taoist Li Yang, and the other is the evil monk Mo Gutong."

Lin Yuezhi was stunned when he heard these two names, and then sneered, "A rebel from the head of Tianxuanmen, and a bandit from Shaolin who killed his master and betrayed the temple, these two people got together because of their sympathy."

Seeing how much she hated traitors, Guan Duhong swallowed their detailed information, and said instead, "Lord Ji Man and Yan Jingyu left the city, heading towards Surabaya, by land."

Lin Yuezhi flicked through the message note in her hand, and nodded her chin unsurprisingly, "Well, it should be chasing Luo Chan."

Guan Duhong was surprised, "Miss Jiman is still seriously injured, I'm afraid she won't be the opponent to scold Luo Chan."

"What are you afraid of, Chi Luochan is just a sick cat now."

The evil palace can have its own news channel, and the Nether Cult naturally has one too.

Chi Luochan didn't see Ji Wuming's body, so she must have assumed that he was still alive. From Qingzhou to Yanzhou, she walked very low-key all the way, obviously trying to hide her whereabouts, but suddenly went crazy and killed so many people, and did nothing but seriously injured he thinks.

Taking advantage of her illness to kill her, this opportunity is rare, if you don't do it now, when will you wait?Lin Yue was delighted to see Luo Chan being unlucky.

Seeing her happy, Guan Duhong asked tentatively, "Aren't you worried, sir?"

"So what if I'm worried about my body now? If I go with it, I'll be holding back." Lin Yuezhi said so, but after all, she was angry and muttered unwillingly for a while, "It can make Chi Luochan seriously injured, no matter what method is used, Those two traitors have some real skills."

Seeing this, Guan Duhong immediately spit out the news he had swallowed earlier, "Li Yang has been in Yanzhou for a year since he was expelled from Tianxuanmen, and he often lives in Huaiyang, Surabaya, and Linyi in the name of Tianxuanmen. Walking through the three cities, I can earn a little money by doing ordinary people’s work of exorcising ghosts and fortune-telling, but I never take business from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and I am quite famous in Yanzhou.”

Lin Yuezhi laughed, "He dared to bluff and deceive under the banner of the teacher's school even after being expelled from the school."

Tianxuan Gate is located at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou, and there is a hilltop between Taishan School and Taishan School of Wuyue Sword School. One is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Prefecture Ji Nancheng, and the other belongs to Yaoyue City on the border of the two neighboring states.

Although Yaoyue and Linyi are separated by two cities, they are both in Yanzhou, so there will always be some news that will reach Tianxuanmen.

Li Yang is really daring.Lin Yuezhi asked again, "What happened to Mogutong?"

Guan Duhong: "He was chased by the master and fled to the southern border. He was invited to Huaiyang City, and he hit it off with Li Yang."

……

When Lin Yuezhi returned to the inn, it was already dark. The old man packed his bags and sat downstairs with a sullen and strange face.

When he saw Lin Yuezhi coming in, he immediately stood up, "Let's go."

Lin Yuezhi flicked up her clothes and sat down rudely, poured herself a cup of tea casually, and said, "The gate of the city has already been closed, you can't leave even if you want to, you'd better go up to sleep and recharge your batteries. "

The words are divided into two parts.

Here, Ji Wuming and the two drove all night, and finally arrived at the mass grave when it was still dark. It was a barren mountain and wild forest, and wild wolves were howling.

Ji Wuming checked the corpses in the lower mass grave, and found that there were a few extra fresh corpses, which were obviously the people nearby. Looking at the traces of the car shafts on the mud, they all went down.

"It seems to be in Yangjia Village." Ji Wuming said.

The mass grave is between Huaiyang City and Yangjia Village, even if you rush on the road, you will arrive at least in the afternoon. Since you have already confirmed where the person is, there is no need to rush at this time.

"Take a break and eat something. You don't need to look for anything, just eat dry food." Ji Wuming knew that Yan Jingyu carried fire pockets and dry food with him.

Yan Jingyu led the two horses to the puddle and tied them up, saying: "I'll go get some firewood."

There is nothing else in this barren mountain and wild forest, but I don’t worry about firewood. There are dead tree leaves and branches everywhere, and it can be used for a long time by just picking it up.

Ji Wuming didn't stop him, and nodded, "Yeah."

Ji Wuming went to the puddle and patted the horse's neck, adjusted the reins, suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the empty bag on the saddle, reached out his hand, and took out a half bag of unfinished pancakes.

——This was given to him by Yan Jingyuwen in the early morning of the day he entered the city.

This pancake is a kind of pancake. It is big, long-lasting, and easy to fill your stomach. It is especially suitable for making dry food and taking it with you on the road. However, the taste is not as good as the usual pancake, and you can even choke on it.

Ji Wuming ate a few mouthfuls and was really choked up. There was a shortage of supplies in the north, and he didn't have the habit of wasting food, so he put it away and stuffed it in his pouch.

Unexpectedly, it became a surprise.

Ji Wuming couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. It happened that Yan Jingyu came back with firewood in his arms. He took out the half-eaten cake from the bag and shook it in front of Yan Jingyu's eyes.

"Do you remember what this is?"

Yan Jingyu quickly set up the firewood, took out the fire pocket and looked at him suspiciously.

Ji Wuming reminded, "Before we were in a hurry to enter the city, you stuffed me with dry food."

Yan Jingyu was taken aback, "You didn't eat?"

After he finished speaking, his expression was still the same, but his eyes showed a bit of grievance and frustration inexplicably. He looked at him blankly and asked, "Is it not delicious?"

Ji Wuming couldn't help but burst out laughing, his peach blossom eyes sparkled with ripples, reflecting a person's figure, as if with a lot of affection.

He stretched out his hand to touch Yan Jingyu's head, and said with a smile, "The taste of this cake is mediocre, even if it is stir-fried, it will be too hard to choke. I'm just teasing you, why do you take it seriously?"

Yan Jingyu stared blankly at those beautiful eyes that were shining with spring light, and looked at her own reflection inside, blushing inexplicably.

He hurriedly lowered his head and blew on the fire, using dead leaves as a guide to light the firewood.

"Dry food will be softer when it is baked on the fire." He said, using two branches to set up a simple shelf on the fire, put all the dry food in the bag on it, and said, "This bag is not much dry food. You can just give it to me if you don’t like it, I have steamed buns in my bag.”

Hearing this, Ji Wuming went to get it, and sure enough, he took out the steamed buns wrapped in oil paper from the bag, and it seemed that he had bought them not long ago.

"Go shopping in the morning?" The only time they weren't together was during that time.

Yan Jingyu nodded, "I heard that the noodle shop is good."

"Then why don't you buy steamed stuffed buns? There are also stuffings." Ji Wuming directly took out two big steamed buns and put them on the fire next to the hummus, and said casually, "One for each person, and the rest will be eaten next meal."

Yan Jingyu had no objection to his arrangement, but it was because his question was a little embarrassing.

He tightened his hands, and answered honestly, "Steamed buns cost two cents, and pork stuffed buns cost two cents each. In winter, cabbage stuffing is the most expensive, so you can only buy two for five cents."

He paused and choked out two words, "Too expensive."

Ji Wuming, who has never paid for things by himself: "..."

It seemed like a reason to be sad, but somehow he wanted to laugh.

Palace Master Ji covered her lips with her hand, covering the curve of her lips that could not be suppressed, "The old man has so much money, why don't you ask him for it?"

"His money was collected from the patients who entered the valley, including me." When Yan Jingyu said the last three words, the corners of Yan Jingyu's mouth curled down, and the tails of his eyes drooped.

"……"puff.

Ji Wuming pressed the corner of his mouth hard to keep himself from laughing out loud.

The young man in Tsing Yi who was sitting by the fire looked ferocious and gloomy on the surface, his dark eyes were reflected by the fire, and his murderous intent was almost gushing out, but in fact it was the child who complained and became more and more wronged.

So cute.

Ji Wuming frowned, cleared his throat, and said with an obvious smile, "You're already nineteen, and you always have money with you when you go out. When Lin Yuezhi catches up, I'll let her go I'll give you a share from my private bank."

Although the evil palace is located in the remote Yunshan Endless Cliff, it is not poor. Ji Wuming has fields, houses, shops, and properties in his hands. Most of the properties in the major urban areas of Qingzhou have the shadow of the evil palace.When Ji Yuan, the younger uncle of the previous palace lord Ji Wuming, was in office, he oppressed the peasants severely. He not only demanded "safety tax" from the shops in the city, but also pretended to be sand bandits and robbed the caravan passing through Qingzhou... what he did , the furthest south of the Five Ridges has heard.

With Ji Yuan's own power, the Xieyang Palace, which was originally a neutral sect, directly became an evil palace that everyone would punish.

When Ji Wuming was at his worst, he was living in southern Xinjiang. He was indeed penniless at that time.At the same time, all the congregants who had a good personal relationship with Ji Zhenghan were suppressed more or less. Lin Yuezhi and Jiang Qi were light-hearted. Although their powers were not weakened, they still kept one by their side and threw the other to the Central Plains. Let them Can't spare.

But Ji Wuming happened to meet Bai Weiyu who adopted an orphan at that time.

After Ji Wuming took office, he abolished the "safety tax" and re-revised religious rules and severely punished those who violated the rules, restraining them from turning from bandits to knights. Originally, some people complained that the income of the teaching had shrunk after he succeeded to the throne, so Ji Wuming simply approached him directly. Chi Luochan came to "make up".

Every year, Xie Gong gets more than ten thousand taels of money from the Nether Sect. For so many years, Ji Wuming lived in Yunshan in seclusion, and his private treasury has already been filled up.

So, although Ji Wuming had ups and downs in his life, he never worried about money.

In this way, Yan Jingyu's pocket money was finalized, and the two of them planned to drive overnight after they were full.

Suddenly, the night wind was rustling, amidst wild wolves howling at the moon, there were two shadows standing on the top of the tomb, the broken voices in the wind were like Sanskrit and Taoism, like ghosts weeping.

Yan Jingyu directly flicked out the dagger, killing intent overflowed from his tense face.

Ji Wuming squinted his eyes and sneered, "Who is playing tricks here!"
