Although the golden-armored warrior could not fly, he could run and jump very fast. Led by the little paper crane, he bypassed Du Kui Peak and turned into a faint golden light, crossing mountains and rivers on the ground.
Seeing that it had avoided Du Kuifeng, the little paper crane called out to Jin Yi a few times, then flew into the sky and turned into a faint white light and headed straight for Nanjun City, intending to go ahead and report the news to Ji Yuan.
Over in Kuinan County City, a small banquet was being held in a side hall of the Li Mansion. As the young master of the Li Mansion, Li Feng had the authority to hold a banquet himself, but it was naturally impossible for him to occupy the main dining hall, so he could only use a side hall of the guest hall.
Li Feng also had no intention of disturbing the elders in the family, so he entertained Zuo Wuji and Ji Yuan himself and asked the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious wine and food. It was already dark and it was time for the banquet to begin.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Zuo, I have asked someone to prepare a lot of good wine. We won't go home until we are drunk today!"
Li Feng was standing on a chair, holding a wine jug and shouting excitedly, but Ji Yuan snatched the jug away.
"What kind of wine is this kid drinking?"
"Hehehe, of course I don't drink it. I'll drink the sour plum soup. You guys drink it! Hurry up and ask the kitchen to serve the food—"
The servant on the side heard Li Feng's instructions and nodded in response.
"Yes, Master."
The servant hurried to the kitchen and met the old lady of the Li Mansion who was walking slowly towards him supported by her maid. He stood aside waiting for the old lady to pass by, but the old lady walked up to him.
"What is Feng'er doing tonight?"
"Uh, Madam, the young master is entertaining guests."
The old lady looked at the lights in the side hall.
"Guest? Do you know anything?"
"Yes, there are only two of them, both staying at the Nichen Temple. One of them is unknown to me, and the other has been teaching me some boxing and kicking moves recently."
"But is there a plan, Mr.?"
The servant shook his head.
"No, I recognize Mr. Ji as well. He is very different from the two people who came this time."
The old lady frowned immediately.
"You're just fooling around all day and you're not even serious about it. You're trying to learn some martial arts from some frivolous person. I'm going to go take a look!"
The servant was in a dilemma. He wanted to dissuade him but didn't dare to. He could only ask indirectly.
"Uh... Madam, do you still want to serve the dishes from the kitchen?"
"You go and tell them to serve the dishes. I'm just going to take a look and say a few words at most. Feng'er is also a member of my Li family. We still have to keep our word. If we cancel the banquet for no reason, how will others see us?"
"yes!"
The servant thought about it and decided to go and inform the kitchen first. The old lady was slow, so the servant relied on his fast running speed and after notifying the kitchen, he took a detour and ran back to the side hall to inform Li Feng.
"What? Grandma is coming over?"
"Yes, by the way, Master, please don't tell them that I came back to tell you, I'm leaving now..."
After the servant reported the news, he hurried away. Li Feng didn't care about it and still said to Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji with a smile.
"It's okay. I guess grandma just came to say hello."
As Zuo Wuji was speaking, Madam Li had arrived outside and the servant who was guarding the door opened it and came in.
"Master, the old lady is here."
Li Feng went out obediently, and when he saw his grandmother coming, he took the initiative to bow and greet her.
"Feng'er has met grandma!"
After the ceremony, Li Feng immediately ran to the old lady and held her other hand. Although it was more symbolic than practical, it still made Mrs. Li smile.
"I heard you were hosting a banquet, so I came to see if there were many guests."
"Not many, not many, just two."
Li Feng pointed to the side hall. Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji did not leave their seats, but stood up and bowed towards the door as a greeting to Old Madam Li.
Old Madam Li looked at Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji. Ji Yuan was okay, as she was not recognizable and did not look wealthy, but at least he was dressed neatly. Zuo Wuji had a casual and unrestrained feeling, his clothes were made of leather and velvet, his face had an untidy stubble, and he looked a little unkempt, a typical gangster.
"You two are guests. Eat and drink well tonight. Before you leave, each of you can ask the steward for five taels of silver."
After the old lady finished speaking to Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji, she turned to Li Feng.
"Although you are still young, a descendant of the Li family cannot live in idleness all day long. Your father sent a letter back from the capital a few days ago, saying that he has found a good teacher for you and will take you to the capital soon."
After the old lady said this, she turned her head to look into the side hall, then slowly left. Li Feng quickly grabbed his grandmother.
"Grandma, but I don't want to go to the capital..."
"Don't be silly..."
Old Madam Li came close to Li Feng and whispered.
"You don't know who your father found a teacher for you. Your father's letter said that there are immortals helping our dynasty now. Your teacher is also an immortal in the mountains. He heard that you were pregnant for three years before you were born, and he was very interested in you. He agreed to take you as his disciple. You must cherish your life!"
"I don't want to, I'm not going!"
"No fooling around!"
Old Madam Li glared at Zuo Wuji, then turned back to look at Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji before slowly leaving.
Inside the house, Ji Yuan had already frowned. Although he did not expect that Li Feng's affairs would remain secret in the court forever, he still left a message beforehand, and the state teacher, monk Mo Yun, also agreed to this matter. Unexpectedly, Li Ping was so eager to find an immortal master for Li Feng.
Zuo Wuji on the side smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Ji, are we considered to be disliked by the old lady?"
Ji Yuan had already sat down, picked up the wine glass and shook his head.
"Although I am not a famous person in her eyes, you are definitely the only one she dislikes. After all, you look like a nobody."
Li Feng returned to the side hall in a depressed mood. At this time, the dishes from the kitchen were served one after another, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.
"Mr. Ji, I don't want to go to the capital, and I don't want to worship any immortal as my master."
"Well, there will be a way. Let's eat first."
Ji Yuan glanced at Zuo Wuji, said a word of comfort to Li Feng, and started to eat. However, it was obvious that he did not have the chance to enjoy this meal very much, because not long after that, he heard a faint cry of a crane in the sky.
"Hey, you guys eat. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Well, Mr. Zuo, I'll give you my share of the reward."
"Ah? Mr. Ji, am I that kind of person?"
"Then do you want it?"
"want!"
Ji Yuan smiled. Although Yan Fei had the highest martial arts skills among Zuo Wuji's four masters, his personality was more like Lu Chengfeng now.
Ji Yuan touched Li Feng’s head and left under the other’s reluctant look.
The little paper crane just came to report the news first, and Jin Yi was still on the way. Ji Yuan directly flew on the wind and traveled with the little paper crane. Finally, he saw a faint golden light in the sky above a wilderness three hundred miles away. It was the flying Jin Yi.
Ji Yuan fell from the sky, and Jin Yi gradually slowed down, and finally came to Ji Yuan carrying the mountain dog wrapped in the yellow ribbon.
"Your Majesty!"
"Well, put him down."
Jin Yi took the order and grabbed the ribbon and shook it. The mountain dog inside flew up a dozen feet and then fell to the ground with a bang, feeling dizzy.
"Uh... who is it? I am a trusted confidant of King Du. Who captured me?"
Ji Yuan walked to the mountain dog that was shaking its head and said lightly.
"Your king is quite smart and is good at thinking things over. By the way, who did he ask you to tell?"
"Tell who? What's the matter? I don't quite understand what you are talking about, Immortal..."
Shan Gou was no longer dizzy, but he knew that he had been captured by an immortal. Unlike Zuo Wuji when he saw him before, although Ji Yuan still did not reveal any aura, the other party was definitely an immortal master. After all, the mighty general in golden helmet and armor was standing next to him.
"Okay, there's no need to be afraid. Let's go to the Dukui Peak together."
Ji Yuan waved his sleeves and the mountain dog was directly put into his sleeves. Then he took a step forward and flew into the sky. With another wave of his hand, Jin Yi had turned back into the Hercules Talisman and flew into the sky and returned to his hand.
Ji Yuan had a feeling that the person that King Du wanted to reveal the information to seemed to be related to those guys who stood on the opposite side of him.
