Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 355 Never drink with you again?
Although the overall strength of the five major cultivation families in the Eastern Continent is not strong, they are not under the control of the Great Zhou Empire. After all, there are two behemoths in the Eastern Continent, Yunjianzong and Tingchao Linggu.

Among the five major families, except for the head of the Rui family who broke through the Formless Realm, there is no other master. The Great Zhou Empire has been preparing for a long time to subdue them.

Now Ji Qingyun is in full charge.

The Taoism of the Formless Middle Realm is enough to run across the Kunlun Realm.

Even if Chao Linggu doesn't care about world affairs, Yunjianzong will not let him be safe in Donglu.

So Nian Zhiling not only asked Chi Jing to invite Ji Qingyun, but also sent Jiang Shen'er, the commander of Shurawei, to assist her. She is now attacking the Formless Middle Realm.

These two can be said to be the new celebrities of the Great Zhou Empire, their status is second only to a few generals.

Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er took the lead to go to the East Continent, and the masters of the Qinglong Army and Shura Guard were ready to go, following closely behind.

Lianyung City is located in the northeast of Donglu, adjacent to the East China Sea.

The air in the city is filled with a fishy smell of the sea. Outsiders are not used to it for a while, but the people who have lived here for a long time have long been used to it.

Lianyun City is just an ordinary seaside town, but it is famous because of the existence of the Wen family.

The Wen family is one of the five major families.

Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er were dressed in casual clothes and stayed in the restaurant closest to Wen's compound. The window was just facing the gate of Wen's house.

One is leisurely, the other is more leisurely, and it doesn't seem like there is a task at all.

After Jiang Shen'er drank two glasses of wine, he casually glanced at the gate of Wen's house and said, "Go straight in, or break in?"

Ji Qingyun shook his head helplessly and said, "Although you are a general, you are still a woman. Can you not be so rude?"

What responded to him was a cold gaze. Although Jiang Shen'er was slightly lower than him, her momentum had the upper hand.

"What do you think we should do?" After a period of silence, Jiang Shen'er spoke again.

Ji Qingyun finished a glass of wine, stared at the bottomed wine glass, thought for a while, and said, "Go to the prefect's mansion first. That guy was granted the title by His Majesty, so he should be able to help."

Hearing this, Jiang Shen'er thought of someone, and his eyes immediately turned cold.

……

……

For the cities that belonged to the territory of the Great Zhou Empire, the prefect's mansion would generally be set up, while other cities would have their own city lord's mansion, or the city lord's mansion would be established with the support of the Da Zongmen.

Back then, the City Lord's Mansion of Lianyun City was set up by a practitioner named Xiao Keqiu. He was originally a native of Lianyun City, and he became the City Lord after being supported.

An imperial edict came from the empress, and Xiao Keqiu accepted it. He naturally became the prefect of Lianyun. In theory, Lianyun City should be under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but due to some special reasons, this city still has some peculiarities.

Like the Wen family.

This family is not attached to any force, whether it is the Yunjian Sect or the Great Zhou Empire, they have not been able to make it submit, but they still maintain a very high status.

In the hall of the high-rise building of the Prefecture, Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er met Xiao Keqiu.

A middle-aged man like a white-faced scholar hides a very deep city under his calm appearance.

"The two generals came to Lianyun City, and I was far away from welcoming you. Please don't blame..."

Xiao Keqiu started a series of official greetings, including salutes, greetings, etc., without missing anything.

Ji Qingyun listened quietly.

Jiang Shen'er frowned, slightly displeased.

After a long time, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Ji Qingyun said: "The two of us want to know about the Wen family's situation."

There was some strangeness in Xiao Keqiu's eyes, and he said: "The Wen family has always been stable in the world, and there is nothing unusual about it, why did the general suddenly ask about this?"

A cold gaze came over, and Jiang Shen'er stared at him and said, "Just say what you want, why are there so many nonsense?"

Xiao Keqiu's face froze, and the chill in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Ji Qingyun was silent for a while, then said: "Master Xiao, let's talk about it."

Xiao Keqiu lightly shook his fist in his sleeve, and after a while, he began to talk about the current situation of the Wen family and some development history.

Everything is the same as the stage of the family's development and the current situation, there is no difference.

After Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er listened quietly, they looked at each other, but they didn't find anything to do.

Xiao Keqiu took a deep look at the two of them, and said, "I've finished what I need to say, do the two generals have any other questions?"

Ji Qingyun said: "I hope Mr. Xiao will not reveal the whereabouts of the two of us."

Xiao Keqiu smiled and said, "That's natural."

……

……

Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er did not leave, but hid themselves outside the prefect's mansion.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with him?"

Ji Qingyun looked at the angry Jiang Shen'er and asked cautiously.

Jiang Shen'er said: "I didn't believe him in the first place. I didn't believe him when His Majesty appointed him as the prefect of Lianyun, but Your Majesty insisted on doing so."

Ji Qingyun's face changed slightly, then he shook his head helplessly, and said: "You and I can guess what His Majesty is thinking."

Jiang Shen'er immediately said: "What do you think is the reason why the Wen family has been able to be stable for so long under the double attack of Da Zhou and Yun Jianzong?"

Ji Qingyun was silent for a while, and said, "Could it be that there is another backer? Listen to Chaoling Valley?"

Jiang Shen'er did not answer, but asked again: "When Xiao Keqiu established his own city lord's palace, the Wen family who was also in Lianyung City did not raise any objections. Why?"

Ji Qingyun was slightly surprised: "Could it be that the Wen family and Xiao Keqiu are related? Or has an agreement been reached?"

Jiang Shen'er nodded slightly, looking in the direction of the prefect's mansion, her eyes became colder and colder.

Ji Qingyun suddenly asked: "What did Xiao Keqiu do before becoming the city lord?"

Jiang Shen'er said: "A butcher."

This butcher is not that butcher.

Ji Qingyun glanced at Jiang Shen'er's side face, and asked again: "You knew each other before?"

Jiang Shen'er was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I almost killed him back then."

Ji Qingyun said: "Because of what?"

Jiang Shen'er said, "The smell of blood is too heavy."

Ji Qingyun murmured softly: "You look like a scholar, I can't tell..."

Jiang Shen'er suddenly said: "He has come out."

……

……

Xiao Keqiu left the back door of the Prefect's Mansion and walked into the long street. He quickly melted into the sea of ​​people. The direction he went to was the Wen family in the north of the city.

"what should we do?"

On a rooftop of the Wen family, Ji Qingyun glanced across the huge house and asked Jiang Shen'er, who was a little unnatural at the side.

Jiang Shen'er said: "Do you often stand on other people's roofs?"

Ji Qingyun was startled, turned his eyes to other places, and said innocently: "It's my first time too, so what should we do first?"

Jiang Shen'er gave him a cold look, and said, "I'm just assisting, not a military adviser."

Ji Qingyun pursed his lips in embarrassment, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go see the young lady who lives in the Wen family first?"

Jiang Shen'er was startled, and said, "Who?"

Ji Qingyun said helplessly: "Xue Ru's former little wife."

……

……

Wen Shiyu, a child of the Wen family, is neither the eldest son nor the elder, the niece of the patriarch, married to Xue Mansion in Chaotian City when she was young, and became the sixth wife of Xue Ru, Minister of Rites.

A few years ago, when Xue Ru died, Xue Shiyu was kicked out by the Xue family.

When she returned to the Wen family, she was not welcomed by the family. If she hadn't had the surname Wen, she would have been expelled long ago.

A widowed daughter, how dare she have the face to go home?

In a desolate and remote house, Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er saw the woman sitting alone in the courtyard.

Despite the catastrophe and the miserable environment, Wen Shiyu still maintained a gentle and generous attitude.

When she saw the two people falling from the sky, she was a little surprised, but not shocked, until they revealed their identities, she finally had an idea.

"He sent the two generals here?" Wen Shiyu asked directly.

Ji Qingyun was startled, glanced at Jiang Shen'er who was also puzzled, and said, "Who is he?"

Wen Shiyu said: "I don't know, but he said that someone will help me become the head of the Wen family."

"Homeowner?"

Both Ji Qingyun and Jiang Shen'er were stunned. How could a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken become the head of a family of cultivation?

Wen Shiyu still said calmly: "The family is withered, and it really needs to be rectified."

Ji Qingyun said: "What else did he say?"

Wen Shiyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "He said that if General Ji doesn't help, he will never drink with you again."

Ji Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then slammed the stone table and cursed angrily, "You bastard!"

Jiang Shen'er asked, "Who?"

Ji Qingyun stabilized his mind, let out a long breath and said, "Tang Ge."
