Lu Zhi entered the village with everyone. Not long after, a servant from the village came to report that the banquet was ready. The hero Ji Yun immediately stood up and invited everyone to join the banquet.

Although Lu Zhi didn't want to have a banquet and just wanted to get the news about the Emei Sect from him as soon as possible, he was willing to let the guests do as he pleased, and the host was so hospitable that he couldn't help but spoil the scenery.

During the banquet, Lu Zhi only tasted the food briefly, and then found a way to ask about news about the Emei Sect.

"Master Ji Yun, you Zhuangzi and the Emei Sect are neighbors, and the news of the attack on the Emei Sect was originally sent from you, Master Ji. I don't know the many inside stories involved. Master Ji, do you know?"

When Ji Yun heard this, he suppressed the smile on his face, put down his wine glass and said, "Young Master Lu, to be honest, Ji doesn't know much about the Emei Sect."

"In fact, I didn't know about the attack on the Emei sect at first. I only found out about the attack on the Emei sect when I sent a man up the mountain to deliver goods to the Emei heroines in a grain and oil store owned by Xiazhuangzi.

"

Lu Zhi glanced at Ji Yun: "So that's it?"

Lu Zhi was noncommittal about Ji Yun's statement.

As far as he knew, Ji Yun was a local powerhouse, and his properties existed in several surrounding counties.

He is involved in industries such as inns, grain shops, and car dealerships, and even some gray businesses such as casinos and brothels seem to have some secret relationship with him.

If such a well-informed local snake said that he had no knowledge of the situation of the Emei Sect, Lu Zhi would really not believe it.

After the banquet, Lu Zhi gained nothing and did not get any useful information from Ji Yun.

After returning to the guest room, Lu Zhi had been secretly thinking about Ji Yun. According to Song Yuanqiao, Ji Yun was generous and generous, but he was a bit scheming. Back then, he had deliberately tried to please and befriend them more than once.

Wu-Tang Clan.

And he was extremely enthusiastic about the Emei Sect who was right next to him. Over the years, most of the food and clothing expenses for the Emei Sect on the mountain were entrusted to him.

Even his first deceased wife was a heroine who was born in Emei. She had a close relationship with the Emei sect, but this time she was so lax about matters in Emei. Is there any problem in this?

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Ji Yun's somewhat strange reaction had already made Lu Zhi secretly vigilant and cautious.

"Wuji, Qingshu." Lu Zhi said, "Gather the junior brothers, we are leaving now."

"Ah?" Song Qingshu, who had already made half of the bed, turned his head in surprise and said, "But it's getting dark now. If we leave now, won't we have to sleep in the wilderness?"

"

Lu Zhi said: "Let's just sleep in the wilderness. Are we still afraid of this?"

"On the contrary, that hero Ji Yun always makes me feel that something is wrong. Just in case, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Anyway, I can't get any useful information from him. Staying here is just a waste of time.

That’s all.”

Song Qingshu and the others didn't feel there was anything wrong. The hero Ji Yun even held a banquet to entertain the Wudang and others. Isn't this quite warm and hospitable?

However, Lu Zhi had already spoken, so they could only pack their bags again and prepare to hit the road.

On the other side, Ji Yun, who heard that Lu Zhi and the others were leaving, immediately rushed over.

"You young Wudang heroes? But why did Ji fail to take good care of you? Why are you leaving now?"

Lu Zhi cupped his hands at him and said, "Master Ji, you are too polite. This time I was ordered to go down the mountain to rescue Comrade Emei. Time is really urgent and I dare not delay. I have let down Master Ji's kindness. Please forgive me."

"After this happens, I will definitely visit your village again to apologize to Master Ji."

"This, this" Ji Yun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Then, Master Ji, I'll say goodbye."

Lu Zhi didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left with all the Wudang disciples.

"Please wait!" Na Ji Yun stepped forward in a few steps.

"You young heroes are leaving to rescue Comrade Emei. Ji cannot force you to stay, but please stay for another quarter of an hour. Rong Ji will prepare some dry food for you and leave.

With Quan Ji’s friendship.”

Lu Zhi took a deep look at Ji Yun. Now he was 70% sure that there must be something wrong with Ji Yun.

"No need, Master Ji, take care."

Lu Zhi was too lazy to continue being polite to him, turned around and left with Zhang Wuji and the others.

It wasn't until they left that Ji Yun's expression suddenly turned ugly: "This damn boy is so shameless!"

The old housekeeper who had been standing humbly behind him suddenly straightened up and said coldly to Ji Yun: "Ji Yun, you'd better give an explanation for this matter.

Come."

Ji Yun's expression changed for a while, and finally he said gloomily: "I did mess up this matter, but as you can see, it's not my fault that Lu Qingzhi was so cautious."

"Hmph! You can save these words and explain them to the princess later. Don't forget, the lives of your family are in our hands!"

Ji Yun: ""

Mr. Lu, the lives of my entire family depend on you. I hope you understand what I mean.

Just as Lu Zhi thought, Ji Yun had such a close relationship with the Emei Sect, how could the Yuan Ting turn a blind eye to him in the first place?

Long before Lu Zhi and the others arrived, Ji Yun had already been controlled by Yuan Ting's people. The whole family was controlled by Yuan Ting, leaving only him alone to act as bait in the hope that he could be used as bait.

The reinforcements from the Emei faction were attracted and ambushed.

But the development of the matter finally deviated from the script designed by Yuan Ting, and Ji Yun was obviously not so cooperative.

Because he knew that even if he fully cooperated with Yuan Ting's actions and helped frame those martial arts people who came to rescue him, it would be difficult to save his life as a Zhuangzi man afterwards.

That's why he deliberately made some strange moves to make Lu Zhi suspicious and make things deviate from the direction of the script designed by Yuan Ting.

Then, it depends on whether Lu Zhi can understand the profound meaning of his actions just now.

"Come with me." The housekeeper said coldly, "We have to report this matter to the princess and let her make a decision!"

Ji Yun took a deep breath: "Let's go."

He didn't know if he could save his life if he went there. Ji Yun had no idea about meeting the princess.

That woman was only as old as his daughter, but she was extremely scheming. At that time, she didn't even have a chance to react, and all the people in the village had fallen into her hands.

Therefore, Ji Yun knew very well that his little move would probably not be hidden from the princess. Now he could only see whether he was still valuable in her eyes.

Ji Yun followed the housekeeper into the inner courtyard of the harem and paid a visit to the princess.
