after the villain

08.

Manxianglou had a banquet today, and the famous Mr. Han was invited to come to give a lecture. The honored guest ordered "Siege of Endless Cliff" - this is a recent book. Adaptation of Assaulting the Endless Cliff.Mr. Han has said it several times, and every time he won applause from the whole house.

The master kept close to the distinguished guests for fear of neglecting them, and warned Mr. Han several times. Mr. Han had a lot of experience in this event and was full of confidence. Glance out.

The sound of Mr. Han's gavel did not change the guest's mind, instead he heard the honored guest on the second floor ask "Why is it so noisy", so he opened the window and looked across.

Opposite Manxianglou is the water side, the name does not sound decent, but it is the largest inn in Anyang City.

A strange carriage stopped in front of the water, and five people came down one by one, an old man, a thin boy, a young man in blue, a knight in white, and finally a tall woman wrapped in a cloak, with a calm expression , but has the posture of heaven and man, and people can't move away after seeing it.

The leader Ji Wuming is used to it, and being stared at is a common thing, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but suddenly felt a strange sight, and turned his head sharply.

I saw the window of the private room on the second floor of the opposite restaurant was wide open, and a young man with blond hair and blue eyes was lying on the window looking at them thoughtfully. wine cup.

The young man has profound facial features, a strong body color, blood chalcedony earrings, colorful agate stones strung on his chest, jade ring fingers and bead strings in his hands... so flamboyant, one looks like a foreigner.

Ji Wuming had a good or bad sense of the Mobei people except the Nether Sect, he ignored the young man's overtures, and passed his gaze with a flat expression.

Instead, Yan Jingyu blocked that line of sight calmly, raised her eyes and stared.

"Hey, she's really vicious." The young man was taken aback, and saw a few people entering the inn, then rubbed his chin and laughed again, "That woman is so sharp, she should be a martial artist, and she looks so stunning... Lin I'm afraid Yinyin's title as the number one beauty in martial arts will not be kept."

There are three or four people in the private room, they are all fierce and strong men, but they all stand with their heads bowed, and no one responds to him.

The young man pursed his lips, said "boring", and closed the window again.

Downstairs, Mr. Han patted the gavel. He was talking about the arrival of the Bamen and Eleven School in Yunshan. The young man was fascinated by it. He shook his wine glass with his eyes closed and heard the door "squeak" open and close before opening his eyes again.

The confidant who came in showed half a ferocious face under the cloak, knelt on one knee, and said in a hoarse voice, "Young master, I still haven't got Ji Wuming's portrait."

The young Lang was startled, and said in surprise, "Is there really no one?"

"Ji Wuming seldom goes in and out of Endless Cliff, and he wears a mask all the year round. The only ones who know his appearance are probably only two of his confidantes. The right protector Jiang Qi has been missing since a month ago, and there are rumors that she is dead, and the left protector Lin Yue He was haunted near Yunshan [-] days ago, collided with the group of people besieging Endless Cliff, was seriously injured and escaped, and now he doesn’t know where he is hiding, only that he is still in Qingzhou.”

After the confidant finished speaking, he took out two scrolls from his pocket and presented them, "But the subordinates got the portraits of Ji Zhenghan and Ji Yuan."

Ji Zhenghan was the first lord of the evil palace and Ji Wuming's biological father, and Ji Yuan was the uncle who was killed by Ji Wuming.

The young man smashed his wine glass with an ugly face, and scolded, "What's the use of making two portraits of dead people, useless things, get out!"

The conversation was divided into two parts, the young man lost his temper on one side, and the people who stayed in the water side on the other side left after eating.

Nangong Sheng went to Weiyu Tower to inquire about the news of Nether Sect, Yan Guitian went to the inn with the written family letter, the old man asked the inn's waiter to go shopping, and Ji Wuming planned to go to Xie Gong's stronghold in Anyang City.

The evil palace can develop and grow, making the world's martial arts panic. Naturally, it is impossible to hide on the Endless Cliff. It's just that manpower and material resources are exhausted. Ji Wuming's forces are compressed in Qingzhou and even the surrounding areas. After leaving Yanzhou, there is nothing left.

Yan Jingyu saw that he was going out, so she followed.

Ji Wuming thought for a while, but didn't stop him, and took him to the outskirts of Anyang City.

The outskirts of Anyang City rely on water, and there are deviations from the style and appearance of the city. The people of Dazhou and Dacheng here intermarried, and the folk customs are simple and fierce.Ji Wuming walked all the way in, bypassing the lake, and it became more and more prosperous and noisy. It seemed that when he reached the market, he entered a secluded alley, and there was a rather large courtyard ahead.

The carved beams and painted buildings in this courtyard are rich and noble, but towering trees protrude from the courtyard, there is no gatehouse and no noise, it looks like no one lives there.

Ji Wuming stepped forward to hold the door knocker, and slammed it six times.

After six rings, a towering old man's voice came from inside: "The courtyard is vacant, and only the old servant is guarding it. If the distinguished guests are looking for someone, go to the city."

Ji Wuming suppressed his voice, "It's getting late, I'm acquainted with the owner of this house, please open the door and let me stay overnight."

The old man asked, "Who are you?"

Ji Wuming replied: "The mountain reflects the setting sun and the sky catches the water, and there is no one in the setting sun palace."

Old man: "Sir, push the door and come in."

Ji Wuming pushed the door open and entered, only to see a man dressed as a scholar in the courtyard, how can there be any old man.

The scholar looked at the two people who came in, raised his brows, with a half-smile on his face, and said in the old man's voice, "Two people staying overnight?"

"One person." Ji Wuming said.

The scholar asked again, "Who is staying overnight?"

"I."

The scholar nodded, turned around and walked in.

Ji Wuming asked Yan Jingyu to stay in the courtyard, "You don't have a certificate, don't act rashly, wait here, someone will bring refreshments later, if you are bored, you can also ask them for some booklets to read. Kill time."

Yan Jingyu tilted her head, but asked, "I let them compete with me, is that okay?"

Ji Wuming raised his eyebrows, "Of course you can. You can do whatever you want, even if you want to watch operas and listen to music, and someone will perform for you and sing for you. You just need to stay in this yard and don't run around That's it."

Yan Jingyu nodded, expressing that she understood.

Ji Wuming followed the scholar through the promenade and rockery, turned left and right into the lobby, and then revealed the token that was hidden close to him - this token is dark red, carved with fine lines, and the mountains and waterfalls can be seen faintly Noisy, slightly sideways, the shadows are connected together, which is exactly the word "sunset".

The Xieyang Token can only be owned by the congregants who can enter the endless cliff level. It is a pattern specially designed by Ji Wuming for the master of Tianxuanmen. It contains a lot of secret information and is not easy to imitate.

Ji Wuming's piece is unique, there are mysterious pictures and texts that can prove his identity as the leader, but not many people know about it, and the scholar who is in charge of supporting him is not among them.

Although the scholar was surprised when there was another powerful woman in the palace, but in the end he was only a little higher than the ordinary congregation, and he didn't get in touch with too many big people.

It was his own people who came, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly put away the hidden weapon in his sleeve, and knelt down to salute.

"Guan Duhong has met your lord."

Ji Wuming flicked his sleeves and sat on the seat, said in a deep voice, "Let Lin Yuezhi come to see me."

A moment later, a woman came in a hurry. She was petite and well-shaped, a typical Jiangnan person. Her brows were full of depression, her complexion was bad, and she looked like she was still recovering from a serious illness.

Seeing Ji Wuming's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Aman—!"

She wanted to go forward, but she touched the wound on her body, her complexion suddenly changed due to the pain, and her waist and abdomen were bleeding.

The scholar helped her to sit down, but Lin Yuezhi looked at Ji Wuming and said with relief, "It's fine if you have nothing to do."

Ji Wuming's face was already gloomy, and after he screened off the others, he asked, "How did you get injured?"

"I heard that Endless Cliff was besieged. I guessed that the emptiness in the palace would not last for a few days, so I brought some people back and met people from the Five Sacred Sect at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. After a great battle, I was the only one injured and escaped."

Lin Yuezhi showed guilt, and pleaded guilty, "This subordinate is incompetent."

Ji Wuming had expected that Lin Yuezhi would return when he received the news, and he had also expected this result. Hearing this, he still closed his eyes.

After a while, he asked, "How is the Nether Cult going?"

Lin Yuezhi cheered up and replied: "The Nether Sect is hunting down the traitor, and the traitor seems to have stolen the Great Cheng Kingdom Seal after killing the second prince. Chi Luochan hunted it down personally, and once stayed in a valley a thousand feet away from Yunshan Mountain. She has profound internal strength, and my subordinates dare not let people get too close, she left Qingzhou three days ago and went straight to Yanzhou."

"To Yanzhou?" He guessed that the patient released from Tianji Valley should be the traitor Chi Luochan was looking for.

Ji Wuming pondered.

"After Chi Luochan left, the subordinates went to investigate, and there was only ruins left." Lin Yuezhi remembered something, and said, "By the way, before the subordinates left, they saw Yan Guitian. It seems that Nangong Sheng and Nangong also went to that valley."

Ji Wuming nodded.

Lin Yuezhi was not surprised to see him. She should have known it earlier. She hesitated for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions. Luo Yuanyi seems to be in the city."

Chi Luo Yuan Yi is the only son of Chi Luo Chan, the young master of the Nether Sect.

Ji Wuming narrowed his eyes and laughed, "That's really a coincidence."

The Nether Slaves are dead soldiers raised by the Nether Sect. Those people were all refined by Chi Luochan with the Blood Demon Technique, and their tongues were pulled out. They are tall but a little stupid, so they are easy to recognize.

However, Chi Luo Yuanyi's daring to make the Nether Slaves make a big splash must be because they are behind-the-scenes, or they are confident that they will not be found.

After explaining the matter of the Nether Sect, Ji Wuming saw that the sky was getting late, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "Have you heard of... Tianji Valley?"

Lin Yuezhi looked puzzled, "This subordinate has never heard of it."

"A thousand zhang away from Yunshan Mountain is a valley called Tianji Valley. There are only two people in the valley. The owner of the valley is an old man with disabled legs and feet. He is good at mechanics, medicine and poison. He also dabbles in Qimen Dunjia."

Lin Yuezhi frowned more and more, and said bluntly, "How can there be no name in Jianghu in such a place? And how did it hide it from my eyes and ears in Qingzhou?"

"I also want to know." Ji Wuming glanced at her, his voice was low, "After I fell off the cliff, I spent more than a month recuperating in that valley. It was not until a few days ago that Chi Luochan led the Nether Cult to besiege that I left the valley."

Lin Yuezhi looked at him in shock, and immediately said, "Send someone to investigate immediately."

"Well, be careful."

Ji Wuming spoke lightly, turned and left.

Yan Jingyu sparred with the scholar who summoned Guan Duhong in the courtyard. He was empty-handed and distractedly focused on the corridor, but he forced Guan Duhong, who was holding a sword in his sleeve, to back and forth, showing his weakness.

Yan Jingyu caught a glimpse of Ji Wuming turning out from the long corridor from the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped holding his hand, and turned to approach, a grabbing hand, Guan Duhong dodged it, and he grabbed his wrist and twisted it, he thought it was not good, Immediately got up, the sword in the sleeve had been held by the young man in Tsing Yi on his shoulder.

Guan Duhong panted heavily, seeing the two people who came out one after the other, his face showed annoyance, but he readily admitted defeat.

This time he uttered a normal youthful voice, but no one cared.

Yan Jingyu threw back the sword in his sleeve to him, and walked up to Ji Wuming in a few steps.

Inexplicably, Ji Wuming felt that he was like a well-bred wolf, so he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head, and smiled, "I'm going back."

Yan Jingyu touched the top of her head in a daze, her cheeks blushed belatedly.

It took a while to answer in a low voice, and followed with her head buried.
