During the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Sun Ji had been busy with public affairs for the past two days. He was so busy that he had lost his head and was completely focused on trying to capture the Overlord Flower, Qin Yue'er.
Rumor had it that she had been found at the base of Mount Jiao. That afternoon, when they were fighting at the Immortal Assembling Pavilion, Fu Lin Pavilion had been looking for Qin Yue-er everywhere in Zhenjiang.
With the combination of these two factors, Sun Ji had his doubts. He had reason to believe that Qin Yue'er had indeed appeared. If not, Han Juanyun would not have led a large group of people to Zhenjiang city for no reason at all. He still remembered the look of helplessness when he teased him. Wasn't he also saying that he had returned with a dejected face? However, he was too excited to pursue the matter. It was no wonder that the other party took the initiative to provoke him. Now that he thought about it, he understood that he had a clear understanding of the situation.
Besides, he had his own reasons for letting Han Congan's pigeon go. His subordinate, Geng Zhong, had warned him early in the morning and had been dismissed by him. Why did he have to do that? Qin Yue'er was the most important matter. Now, Young Master Hong was so anxious that he was about to rush to the roof to tear down the roof. If he didn't deal with this earlier, no one would be able to take the consequences. As a result, he turned a deaf ear to Han Li and allowed him to know where to stay.
He also thought that the other party would definitely not let this go easily. When the sky collapses, there would naturally be a tall man supporting them. Didn't they still have that powerful Aurora Sword at home? Didn't that fellow always have his eyes set on the top and be unruly? Wasn't he always on the verge of death? Then let them see who was more powerful. He still looked favorably upon Han Congan's strength. That steel rod was so smooth and smooth, while he himself didn't gain the slightest bit of advantage over Han Congan. If he was able to make Zhao Jiannan look like he had been humiliated, even thinking about it would make him a little excited.
When he returned, he could pat the young man on the shoulder and instruct him on how to be disobedient and meddle in other people's business. It's good now that he was taught a lesson. As a person, you must keep a low profile. If you have nothing to do, you shouldn't put on airs and stand out. This martial arts world is very deep, you still need to learn from your big brother Sun for a few more years. Don't worry, as long as you lower your head and call me big brother, what can I not teach you? You know that I, Sun Ji, am always warm-hearted and helpful.
Speaking of which, although Sun Ji and Zhao Jiannan were serving in the famous hall for a long time, they also had a grudge with each other.
He still remembered three years ago, this Zhao Jiannan had appeared out of nowhere from that trash's corner. He was reputed to be the last disciple of the Sword Emperor Xiao Yi. When the martial arts families heard this, they immediately went out to recruit this swordsman, regardless of the cost.
For some unknown reason, this Zhao Jiannan did not join and instead went to Ji Nanda to fight. All the way through the five trials and six victories, all the way until the name changed and everyone was shocked. As for him, he was happy to meet the sharp Zhao Jiannan in the midst of his responsibilities.
He would never forget that one moment when he was about to succeed and cut down Zhao Jiannan with his saber, his figure moved. He flipped forcefully in the air with an almost unbelievable force, and that Aurora Sword, which was flying with him like a shadow, shot out like lightning, breaking through his attack with a single sword strike. At that time, the entire audience was in an uproar.
This was the greatest humiliation he had ever felt in his life, such as being stuck in his throat. However, what he did not expect was that this Zhao Jiannan had still joined in and seized all of his grandeur and elegance.
Last year, in the face of the Jin'ling Fortune Pavilion's calamity, he had received an order to display his divine might. A single sword had pierced through his heart, causing him to heavily injure 'Dao Ba' Chu Kuang. In front of everyone's eyes, the martial arts world's people who were being praised for this matter were all praising the reputation of the young hero, Jian Fengliu. They were now able to faintly suppress the momentum of these old martial arts world's people.
This was not a good sign. People in the martial arts world were chasing after fame and survival. After such a long time, who would still remember that I was happy with my saber, Sun Ji. Therefore, this was his masterpiece of pride. Since Zhao Jiannan was so awesome, then I will definitely let you suffer a loss today.
The next afternoon, Sun Ji arrived at the base of Mount Jiao to meet Liu Wenbai, the deacon of the Flowing Wind Pavilion. He was a thin man with a white beard and a pair of shiny, large eyes. He didn't expect that the other party would be so nimble that they had already ordered someone to clean up the crime scene and bring the corpse back to be disposed of. He greeted him with a smile and asked about the case. Unexpectedly, the other party ignored him coldly and left after a few cold snorts.
Sun Ji looked at the man's thin silhouette as it disappeared into the distance, and silently cursed in his heart. What are you being so awesome for? If you saw how I was going to deal with you in the Ji Nan Mansion, I guarantee that you would call me big brother just in case you saw me and even call me big brother Sun, right now I don't have the time to care about you. You're not giving me any face, just you wait.
He sent someone to inspect the crime scene to see if they found anything. Not long later, someone came over to report what had happened. He immediately got up and walked over to the place to check the situation.
He saw a few people squatting in the bushes and pointing at something. They were discussing something. When they saw Sun Ji walking over, they quickly greeted him and said, "Big brother, quickly take a look." A person pointed at a lump of black stuff on the ground and said, "Big brother, look at this horse manure. It's very likely that this was left behind by Qin Yue'er's Ferghana Horse. "
Sun Ji squatted down to take a closer look. It was a pile of horse dung that still emitted a strange smell. He dipped his finger into the dregs and squeezed it. He confirmed it and said, "Yes, it is indeed horse dung. It is highly likely that Qin Yue'er is nearby. Quickly go out and walk around the mountain. If there is any movement, report it immediately. " Their men immediately moved and circled around the mountain.
Da Mingtang had been on the move all afternoon and did not stop until the sun had set. However, he still found nothing. Qin Yue'er had really hidden herself too deeply, and her whereabouts were still unknown. When Sun Ji saw that it was already late, his heart sank and he called for his brothers to withdraw and return to their homes. The sharp sword hanging above his head was like a maggot attached to a bone. It was very disturbing, and he didn't dare to relax even a bit.
By the time they had rushed back to the Wang Family Courtyard, night had already fallen and it was pitch black. As they walked through the door, they did not see many people greeting them. The look they saw on his face was not the least bit awkward, which was quite depressing. Sun Jianji was surprised in his heart. He was just about to call someone to ask what had happened in the past two days. That Zhao Jiannan couldn't have sent people to beat him to death, right? Why didn't he hear such important news?
At this time, a disciple of the Great Hall walked up to him. He was actually invited by a trusted aide of the Military Department's Heavenly King, Xiong Aokun, to ask him a question.
When he walked into the study, he only saw Lord Xiong glaring at him menacingly. His long white beard and hair were exceptionally dazzling under the illumination of the lamplight. A few years had passed by without anyone noticing, and even Xiong Aokun, who had always been conceited and unassuming, was now in his fifties. The only thing that didn't change was the sharp killing intent that exuded from his body. His eyes were like daggers that coldly pierced Sun Ji's body.
Sun Ji's eyes were cold as he glanced at the other before lowering his head and bowing respectfully, "Lord Xiong, your subordinate has been tracking down Qin Yue'er's whereabouts these past two days." Afraid that he would miss out on Young Noble Hong's big plans, he had been running around for miles today. However, I was too busy to do anything about it. I just wonder, why did you summon me? "
"Qin Yue'er!" So you haven't found her. I want the result! Can you tell me how long we have to stay in Zhenjiang? The day before yesterday, the Oriental from the Fortune Pavilion came to our door to urge us to end this matter as soon as possible. At this rate, we don't have to wait until the new year. Guard Sun, you've really put us on the defensive! I'm very anxious! " After Xiong Aokun finished speaking, he slammed the table to show his warning, shocking Sun Ji to the point that his heart skipped a beat.
Their patience was limited. It would be best if Sun Ji could give them an answer in a few days. You should know Young Master Hong's temper as well. If he were to be unhappy, the result would be hard to say. He didn't need to remind Sun Ji of these words. He believed that Sun Ji wasn't an idiot.
Sun Ji lowered his head, took a step forward, and said, "Your subordinate won't dare to be negligent at all. If anything happens, come back and report to me." It was said that Qin Yue'er had appeared at the base of Mount Jiao and killed three of the Tao family members. When we got there, Liu Wenbai from the Flowing Wind Pavilion went ahead and brought the evidence back. However, we've discovered horse manure on the ground. It is very possible that it was left behind by Qin Yue'er's Ferghana Horse. "
"Fortune Pavilion's Liu Wubai?" You're not acting recklessly, are you? Also, what exactly happened the day before yesterday? Why did you clash with that Senior Han? " Xiong Aokun changed the subject, directly asking.
Sun Ji was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously said, "That Han Zaiming spoke rudely to our famous hall and provoked us. He completely didn't put our famous hall in his eyes. I, Sun Ji, am not a coward that fears life and is afraid of death.
Of course, there was no way Xiong Aokun would punish him for such a small matter, not to mention that Han Juren was truly too arrogant and unbridled.
He shouted, "I don't care what grudge you have with him. I hope that you can settle down and not cause any more trouble these days. Furthermore, we have already reached an agreement with Dongfang Yin. We will work together to capture Qin Yue-er and withdraw our troops to the Ji Nan Palace. Qin Yue'er is the most important thing. Don't ruin Young Master Hong's marriage or else you will have to bear the consequences. You can go down first. "
Sun Ji didn't have any more words to say as he quickly retreated. Halfway there, he coincidentally bumped into Zhao Jiannan. Seeing that his handsome brow was unharmed, he exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, Zhao Jiannan, are you alright?"
When Zhao Jiannan heard this, he was confused and looked at him doubtfully. "What's the matter?"
Sun Ji could not understand it no matter how much he thought about it. His face was stiff, but he wasn't stupid enough to admit it. He laughed and turned to leave.
When he looked back, he would ask the people around him what was the situation. When he met that arrogant Han Juren, how could he not spit blood? There must be something odd about it, and I want to know more about it. When he found out that it was Tong Meng, he thought to himself, "No wonder. It was all thanks to you, Zhao Jiannan."
Immediately after learning of what happened, Zhao Jiannan defeated Han Congan with a single sword strike. He was shocked in his heart like raging waves, and exclaimed, "What did you say? Again, Zhao Jiannan defeated Han Congan with just one sword strike? "That's impossible!"
