As soon as Zhu Jia caught Jing Zhou's gaze, his body sank, as if he was being shackled. His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said "No," and Jing Zhou's gaze had been withdrawn. The family is confused.
The Zhu family's thoughts were turning over and over again, constantly considering countermeasures, hoping to avoid trouble. The young man in purple in front of him was like a mist. Even though he had experienced many hardships, he had never met such a person before, so he couldn't help but call him the Zhu family. A sense of crisis arose in my heart.
Suddenly, the words of Situ Wanli were heard in the Zhu family. A few years ago, Tian Mi had just taken the seat of the head of Kuei Hall, and he led a group of farm disciples to find a young man in purple. But this time, it was quite strange. More than a hundred people left carrying knives and swords, and in the end only Tian Mi came back.
Situ Wanli felt it was strange, so he went to the scene to check it out in person. However, no matter whether it was in the forest or on the roadside, except for balls of grass that had been trampled down, there were no traces of anything at the scene. The more than a hundred farm disciples seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"This man is also dressed in purple. Could he be the man Tian Mi was looking for a place for?"
The more the Zhu family thought about it, the more uneasy they became.
Liu Ji stepped forward and said, "My lord, what's wrong with this? My eldest brother and I are businessmen with honours."
Bai Tu said: "Sir, these people, well, are indeed businessmen. The general has already asked someone to check them."
Jingzhou smiled and said, "How did you check it?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ji and the Zhu family became tense immediately, and Liu Ji's right hand had secretly touched a dagger behind his back.
"Subordinate, subordinate, um, um..." Bai Tu said "um" several times in succession, but did not say one, two, three, four, five. Instead, the deputy general next to him said: "Sir, General Bai Tu ordered his subordinates to search him."
Jingzhou asked: "Have you found anything?"
The deputy general hesitated and said: "Subordinate... I found two money bags."
In just a short while, the deputy general's back was wet, and his legs could not help but tremble. For some reason, every time he wanted to lie, a voice in his heart kept warning him, even if he even bent his tongue involuntarily. . He originally wanted to say that he found a money bag, but in the end, it turned out to be two money bags.
Fortunately, he lowered his head and thought that no one would notice anything strange about him, so he felt a lot more at ease.
Jingzhou smiled and said, "It seems like you brothers are really businessmen in every sense of the word."
Hearing this, whether it was the Zhu family, Liu Ji or Bai Tu, the lieutenants all breathed out involuntarily.
At this time, the soldier had already come from behind with the ceremony.
"My mother, you are so big!"
Liu Ji exclaimed and looked up. Only Dianqing and Dianqing were taller than the two of them combined. Standing in front of him, he was like a huge boulder, blocking out even the sun.
Bai Tu said flatteringly: "Sir, I don't know how to handle this ceremony?"
Jingzhou glanced at Dianqing, waved his right hand, and several crisp sounds were heard in succession. The chains originally wrapped around Dianqing's body broke off one by one and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the Imperial Master didn't seem to hear what he said, Bai Tu felt embarrassed, wilted his head, and took two steps back.
"What do you want me to do?"
Dianqing's ears twitched slightly and he raised his head slightly. At this time, Zhu Jia and Liu Jicai saw his face. He had a tall nose and a big mouth. His resolute face was marked with white patterns, and his eyes were covered with red cloth.
"He...you...you are blind!"
Liu Ji shouted and pointed at the ceremony with an incredibly evil look on his face.
The Zhu family pulled Liu Ji's sleeve, and Liu Jicai said: "Senior Dianqing, I'm sorry, I don't have much thought, I just say whatever comes to my mind."
There was no change in Dianqing's face, and he said calmly: "I am blind to begin with, you don't have to blame yourself."
The voice was low, but not loud, not like the volume a big man should have.
Dianqing turned his head to Jingzhou again and asked again: "What do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, the Zhu family and Liu Ji pricked up their ears and listened attentively, wanting to hear why the young man in purple wanted to save the ceremony.
Jingzhou smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Dianqing said: "I only have a handful of strength."
Jing Zhou said: "It's just that you don't even have the strength now. Bai Tu, give him some food and wine!"
Bai Tu cursed at the back: "You bastards, what are you doing standing there in such a daze? You didn't hear what the Imperial Master said?"
Under Bai Tu's fierce gaze, several soldiers, together with the lieutenant, took out a few pieces of dried meat from their arms. Bai Tu took the dried meat, took off the wine bag from his horse, and handed it to Jianqing.
Liu Ji leaned into the Zhu family's ear and whispered: "Brother, why do you think he saved Dianqing? With such a big official, there should be no shortage of people under his command."
Zhu Jiadao: "Brother Liu Ji, I want to know too~"
It's just this question that the Zhu family and Liu Ji didn't get an answer to, even after the celebration was over.
There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own place of residence.
Taoists live in Taiyi Mountain, Yin and Yang live in Lishan Mountain, Confucian families live in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Mohists live in Guancheng, and farmers live in Daze Mountain.
In Daze Mountain, with the Shen Nong Statue Six Xian Tomb as the center, the six farm halls are located around it. To the east are Kuei Hall and Shennong Hall, to the north is Lieshan Hall, to the northwest is Chiyou Hall, to the west is Gonggong Hall, and in the south are Si
Moon Hall.
To the east of Daze Mountain, a stream runs along a road with lush greenery on both sides. More than ten horses are slowly approaching from a distance. Behind the horses is a giant man with an unusually tall stature.
This group of people is none other than Jing Zhou, the Zhu family, and Liu Ji.
After rescuing Dianqing from Bai Tu that day, Jing Zhou quietly revealed the identity of the Zhu family, which led to today's trip.
"Sir, uh, this is Mr. Jing, what kind of bird is that big bird of yours? I, Liu Ji, have never heard of a bird that can grow so big!" I have been used to calling the word "adult" for the past two days, and suddenly changed it to "sir."
Mr. Jing, Liu Ji was a little uncomfortable with it.
Jing Zhou lay on the back of the horse, gently raised his right hand to block the sunlight that hit his eyes, and said with a smile: "Didn't you see clearly that day?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Ji shook his head hurriedly and said: "I was so frightened by you that day that I didn't have the energy to take another look."
Liu Ji smiled "hehe", stretched his body to the side, got close to Jingzhou's ear, and said: "Mr. Jing, is your bird a male or a female? Are there any eggs left?"
Jingzhou laughed softly and asked: "Palace Master Zhu, does your Shennong Hall want to do a business deal with me and buy a bird egg?"
Zhu Jiadao: "Well, it's not impossible. If Mr. Jing has bird eggs, I, Shennongtang, will go bankrupt and I will buy one."
Jing Zhou spread his hands and said with a smile: "What a pity, no!"
Liu Jidu muttered: "So that big bird is male? It's such a pity. What a good bird, but it can't lay eggs!"
The further east you go, the terrain gets higher and the trees on the roadside get taller and taller. Gradually, a tree shade appears above the path, blocking out the scorching sun.
A stream of water rushed down from above, and the sound of the water brought up a cloud of water vapor, which made people feel much cooler. Liu Ji stretched his waist, then took a deep breath, and sighed: "It's considered a return to China."
It’s your own territory, it’s so damn comfortable!”
Jing Zhou stood up from his horse and said, "Palace Master Zhu, the scenery here is quite nice, I wonder if it has a name?"
Zhu Jiadao: "Hey, Mr. Jing asked well. Places with extraordinary scenery naturally have names. This place is called Vernal Equinox Stream!"
Liu Jidao: "Mr. Jing, what's wrong with this name?"
Jingzhou shook his head, "There's nothing wrong, I just suddenly thought of a sentence in the military book."
Liu Ji scratched his messy hair and said, "There is something else in the military book about whether the Spring Equinox can be achieved? Mr. Jing, tell me quickly so that I, Liu Ji, can learn more about it."
Jing Zhou laughed and said: "How come there is something in the military book about the Vernal Equinox Stream? That sentence says that those who do not know the mountains, forests, dangers, and obstacles cannot march; those who do not use rural leaders cannot gain the advantage of the terrain."
It was in this Vernal Equinox Stream that Han Xing used his troops to bury tens of thousands of Wang Li's troops. Jingzhou became interested and looked back and forth at the Vernal Equinox Stream twice.
"My mother, this is so-and-so, it makes my head hurt when I hear it." Liu Ji shouted and immediately lost the intention to listen.
Jing Zhou said: "Vernal Equinox Stream, this place is named after the twenty-four solar terms, and I think there are several other place names nearby that are also related to the twenty-four solar terms."
Liu Ji didn't know anything else, but he was familiar with this place name, and said hurriedly: "Not bad, not bad, in addition to Vernal Equinox Stream, there are also Mangzhong Gang, Jingzhe Slope, Bailuyan, Autumn Equinox Ridge..."
Bang bang, bang bang, in the blink of an eye Liu Ji named twenty-three places in one breath, and the one he said was called "嘘".
Zhu Jiadao: "Hahaha, these names were given by the ancestors of the farmers to commemorate Lord Shennong, so that future generations will not forget the achievements of Lord Shennong."
"When we reach the Vernal Equinox Stream, we will reach Shennong Hall further ahead. It has been a bumpy ride these past few days, but today I can finally have a good rest."
Having said this, the Zhu family turned around and looked back again, only to see Dianqing walking with great strides, following the horses. They couldn't help but secretly said a pity. Fortunately, this trip did not return without success. At least they got to know this person.
A mysterious young man.
When he saw Jing Zhou falling from the sky for the first time that day, even he, an old man in the world, felt a turmoil in his heart. At first, Jing Zhou was extremely vigilant. In the past two days, he thought about it repeatedly on the road before he realized that he was too cautious.
There was no conflict between the Qin State and the peasant family at this time, and they and their group had no trouble at all. How could they make enemies for no reason?
The group of people walked for more than ten miles, and gradually the roadside changed from giant trees covering the sky to rows of green bamboos.
Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a lake, and there is a row of small courtyards built next to the lake. There are only clumps of fragrant grass and flowers in the courtyard, which are really beautiful and endearing.
Liu Jim jumped off the horse and said, "I'm back now. If I make it two days' journey again, my whole body will fall apart!"
The mask on Zhu Jia's face suddenly changed to white, and he said with a smile: "Brother Liu Ji, go ask someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and let's greet Mr. Jing properly."
Liu Ji patted his chest, "Don't worry, brother, I'm good at this!"
