After noon, magpies chirp.
There were already twelve people standing in Yuchi Feng's yard, including Guo De and his brother Guo Gang's team of ten.
But today, these elite soldiers gathered in the yard but they did not have the heroic spirit as they did in the past when they went into battle. Instead, they were laughing and joking, carrying food bags in their hands. The atmosphere was relaxed, as if they were going to a social gathering or a blind date with some young lady.
Seeing that everyone was talking and laughing without any military discipline, Yuchi Feng shouted: "What are you doing?! What are you holding in your hands?"
"General! It's beef!"
"What is this?!" Yuchi Feng grabbed a package and opened it, and it was really beef.
The soldiers laughed secretly.
"Sir." Guo De was holding two pots of wine in his hands. "There are no monsters in the mountains. These are just the common people who got scared by the shaking branches and the whistling wind. The military discipline is strict on weekdays, and the brothers rarely go out for outings. It's a rare opportunity to go on a business trip like this, so let's go to the mountains and relax."
This is really not a serious job!
"You think I'm going on a picnic!" Lord Yuchi Feng shouted immediately, "Put your things down!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers put the beef down with a little grievance, and stood up straight again. There was no joking expression on their faces, only the solemn demeanor of a soldier.
Yuchi Feng looked at everyone unhappily, "Even if there are no monsters, we still have to go and see the falling fire! If there are any remaining heavenly stones, they must be brought back and cannot be taken away by ordinary people. This thing is priceless and can be called a national treasure. It must belong to the court. Do you understand? You are a bunch of uneducated people. Don't you have ears when I tell you to read more books?"
When the soldiers heard that the Heavenly Stone was priceless and could be called a national treasure, they all stood in awe.
Yuchi Feng glared at everyone in anger, then turned around and shouted, "Hey! You've been lying on my roof all night, and for such a small matter, Lord Wang sent an expert to monitor me?!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately tensed up, and they lost all their previous leisure. They perked up and stared closely at the direction where Yuchi Feng was shouting.
Suddenly, a black head popped out from the dark roof.
"Swish, swish, swish!" A bunch of shining knives were revealed, like ferocious beasts showing their sharp fangs.
Lin Tingjun shook his head, feeling unhappy because he didn't get enough sleep.
He stood up and leaped down. His body was swift and his black clothes fluttered. When he landed, the sunlight fell on him, revealing the dark black dragon pattern on his sleeves.
"The Imperial Palace!" Yuchi Feng cried out in surprise.
Immediately, Guo De and Guo Gang were also surprised and asked their soldiers to put away their swords.
In the Qian Dynasty, people paid particular attention to the color of clothes they wore, and the patterns on their bodies were divided into different classes.
For example, the common people were not allowed to use the dragon pattern, even a general like Yuchi Feng who defended the city. However, there was a department that could embroider a dragon pattern in the same color as the clothes on their sleeves, but if you look closely, you can see that the dragon has no claws, and the claws are covered with cloud patterns.
This department is the Imperial Palace. Only the secret agents with high status in the Imperial Palace can wear the Dark Dragon uniform.
"You were not sent by Fatty Wang?" Fatty Wang let it slip when Yuchi Feng was not careful. After saying it, he felt regretful in his heart, blaming himself for always speaking his mind.
Lin Tingjun had a blank expression on his face. He looked at everyone with a tired look on his face, pulled out a card from his waist and placed it in front of Yuchi Feng.
Yuchi Feng took a closer look and saw that the token was very well made. The texture looked like black mahogany, and there was a circle of dragon patterns around it. The fact that the imperial court could use dragon patterns showed how important their position was in the court! In the center of the dragon pattern, there were two large black and gold characters engraved: Nine Gates!
Yuchi Feng was secretly surprised and clasped his hands together: "May I ask your name, brother?"
Lin Tingjun put the badge back and looked at Yuchi Feng with dim eyes: "I'm too lazy to talk."
"What's your attitude? You think Da Nei is so great?" Guo De's brother Guo Gang had a bad temper and he yelled at him immediately.
Yuchi Feng immediately raised his hand to stop his brother from talking, and smiled at Lin Tingjun: "Okay, then may I ask why this brother who is too lazy to tell me spent the night on my roof?" Although Yuchi Feng also has a bad temper, he is also brave and resourceful, not stupid. If it does not touch the bottom line, no one in the court wants to offend the inner court.
Lin Tingjun looked at Yuchi Feng indifferently for a moment, turned around and said, "Let's go!" After saying that, he took the lead and strode away.
"Pfft." Guo De laughed out loud, "This palace is interesting, hiss... Sir, there are only eight gates in the capital, when did this ninth gate appear?"
Yuchi Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't know that this ninth gate is extremely mysterious and very few people know about it. Because they specialize in investigating..."
"What?" The two brothers Guo De and Guo Gang asked in unison.
Yuchi Feng's expression became solemn: "Difficult and complicated cases, strange powers... chaotic gods!"
After hearing this, brothers Guo De and Guo Gang were surprised.
Yuchi Feng looked ahead intently, thinking that he must have been attracted by the Liuhuo Mountain Monster. He was also amazed at the speed at which the Nine Gates intercepted the news.
Outside the camp gate, the horses are ready.
Yuchi Feng and his men mounted their horses together, looking very heroic.
Lin Tingjun stood up and jumped, actually sitting backwards on the horse.
Guo De laughed again when he saw it: "It's strange that Da Nei can't ride a horse."
As soon as Guo Deyi finished speaking, Lin Tingjun actually lay on his back on the horse's back, with one foot wrapped around the stirrup and the other foot placed across the horse's back, looking extremely relaxed.
Guo Gang looked at Lin Tingjun with a smile: "Hey, don't bother to talk, aren't you afraid of falling off the horse if you ride like this?"
Lin Tingjun put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and uttered only two words from his thin lips: "Lead the way."
"Tsk." Guo Gang already couldn't stand the pretentious Lin Tingjun.
Yuchi Feng only took a look, whipped his horse, and gave the order: "Move on!"
"Pah, pah, pah." A pair of horsemen came out of the barracks in an orderly manner, lined up in a line and galloped through the woods.
The sun shines brightly over the two villages in Pingshan.
The villagers of Nancun gathered around to watch Lian Youyou and left in disappointment. Soon, the news that Lian Youyou was a silly girl spread quickly.
In the fields and in the teahouse at the entrance of the village, the silly girl Lian Youyou has become the hottest topic of conversation today.
"Tell me, what sin did Mr. He's family commit? Their son is a fool, and the one they picked up is also a fool."
"Hey~~~ I think this is a blessing. Which girl in the village would be willing to marry his idiot? Now it's good, I got a wife for free."
"Yes, yes, God is very fair. A silly girl and a silly man, they are a match made in heaven."
"Ha ha ha ha-"
"Stop laughing, everyone. I heard that Liu the Hunter from Beicun died in the mountains!"
"What? Liu the Hunter? The Liu Qiang who's the tyrant of Beicun?"
Everyone immediately gathered together, acting furtively, creating a spooky atmosphere. (To be continued)
