Since the emperor set a date for their departure, he was destined not to let them rest comfortably for too long.

Therefore, in the afternoon of the second day, the supplies negotiated by the two parties in the royal hall had already been packed and sent to Qi Mansion.

Of course, what was sent to Qi Mansion was not only supplies, but also a word from the emperor.

——"Let's go as soon as possible after you get the things."

Leng Ji and Yin Yuanxiao knew that the emperor attached great importance to this matter, so they didn't have much objection, they just nodded to the messengers and told them that they knew it.

In fact, Leng Ji and Yin Yuan Xiao really didn't intend to stay here for too long.

The longer they stay in Qi Mansion, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

The emperor is suspicious, so it is impossible for them to stay here for a long time, so no matter what, they need to leave as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble.

Before their power is established, they still need to keep a low profile.

So in the afternoon, after the two of them tidied up, they quickly set off with their things.

Of course, before leaving, Leng Ji went to several longevity material stores and bought a lot of talisman paper for drawing talismans.

When the emperor heard the news that they were about to leave, he even went here specially to see them off in person, which seemed to give them great face, but in fact, it served as a warning.

"Be careful when you're away from home." Qi Jiucang watched his grandson who had just returned not long ago was about to leave here. Although he felt a little bit reluctant, he also understood that a big man has his ambitions everywhere, and it is impossible for him to keep his grandson for the rest of his life. stay around.

So he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Leng Ji knew what Qi Jiucang meant, and also understood his worry and reluctance for him, but because the emperor was standing not far away, he finally just leaned forward and whispered, "Don't worry, old man, I I'll be back, don't worry too much, wait for me to pick you up then."

Qi Jiucang nodded, then turned his attention to Yin Yuanxiao, and said in an inexplicable tone, "You are away from home, take good care of him."

"Okay." Yin Yuanxiao understood what Qi Jiucang meant, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he touched Leng Ji's head affectionately, "Don't worry."

Only then did Qi Jiucang nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the two of them, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

Leng Ji pouted, "Yeah."

The emperor was standing not far away watching, so even though it was parting time, it was not suitable to say too much.

Leng Ji, Qi Jiucang and the others knew this clearly, so they didn't show too much reluctance to arouse the emperor's suspicion, but just nodded to each other.

Leng Ji turned around and walked to the carriage, quickly walked into the carriage and sat down, then lifted the curtain of the carriage, made a rather subtle mouth shape, "Old man, be careful of the emperor."

Qi Jiucang nodded.

What I want to express has been expressed, and neither of the two parties is a person with ink marks. After seeing Qi Jiucang nodding, Leng Ji felt relieved and left in the carriage with peace of mind.

The carriage was arranged by the Qi Mansion. Although the imperial family's carriage was faster, it hindered their next actions. Therefore, they firmly rejected the emperor's plan to arrange a carriage for them at the very beginning.

Leng Ji opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside, "How much do you know about that place?"

Yin Yuanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "That place is indeed an extremely dangerous place as others have said."

"Have you been there?" Leng Ji lowered the curtain of the carriage and looked at him with interest.

"No." Yin Yuanxiao shook his head, "These are internal news from the mercenary union, more or less true."

Leng Ji nodded, "How dangerous is it?"

"I don't know." Yin Yuanxiao didn't say anything else this time.

He just knew that place was dangerous, but after all, he had never been there, and he didn't have a more intuitive understanding of the situation in that place. At this moment, when Leng Ji asked him, he naturally wouldn't say much.

Leng Ji knew what he meant, and didn't ask any more questions at the moment.

The extremely vicious place is very far away from the imperial capital. According to their current speed, it may take ten and a half months to reach it.

For such a situation, Leng Ji is not in a hurry, on the contrary, he is happy and at ease.

The longer they can get to that place, the more specific they will be able to understand some special circumstances of that place.

This is undoubtedly very beneficial to them.

The night gradually came with the swaying of the carriage.

For convenience, Leng Ji and Yin Yuanxiao found a small inn in a nearby small town to live in.

It's still the two of us living in the same room. After all, we've been used to each other for so long, so we don't have any intention of changing it.

Yi Cui floated in mid-air, seeing these two people lying on the same bed very naturally, for some reason, a strange excitement rose in her heart.

Oh, she thought, she needs to go out and find a place to cool down, Yi Cui thought so, blushing and floated out of the room.

The outside of the house is very quiet. There are very few people coming and going in this small town on weekdays, so there are very few people living in the inn, so it is quieter at night.

But quiet sometimes does not mean safe.

On this night, something bad happened outside the inn—someone died.

In fact, it is not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen in this world, but it is more noticeable if it happens in such a small town.

The town is very small, and because it is on the way to the most vicious place, there are very few people coming and going.

The awakening level of magical power in this small town is generally relatively low. There has only been one magician in hundreds of years, and the others are ordinary people.

It was the first time in this small town that a person died for no reason like this in decades.

Therefore, this incident also attracted the attention of most people in the town.

Leng Ji didn't know the news until the next morning. He had a good night's rest and was not disturbed by anyone, so he slept deeply.

......

"I heard that someone died."

"That's not it, it's scary, and I don't know who did it."

"Yeah, yeah, it's scary, it's been too long since something like this happened here."

......

There was a lot of whispering in the inn, and when Leng Ji came out to eat, he heard the shopkeeper chatting with a few waiters.

"Dead?" Leng Ji turned his head and asked in surprise.

Yi Cui nodded quickly in mid-air, her expression seemed a little strange, "That's right, it's not far from this inn."

"That's strange, why don't I feel anything?" Leng Ji touched his chin.

He chose this inn as a place to live at that time because he considered that the vicinity of this inn was relatively clean.

The cleanliness here does not only refer to the environment and service attitude, but also the feng shui around and the degree of dead air.

According to his observation, there shouldn't be any dead people here at all, but it happened, which is very abnormal.

"Forget it, maybe I was wrong." Leng Ji didn't dwell on this matter for too long.

Anyway, he just stayed here for one night, and he was about to set off again, so he didn't mean to meddle in his own business.

However, right after he said this, Yi Cui said hesitantly, "But Your Majesty, I think this matter is a bit strange."

"Huh?" Leng Ji narrowed his eyes.

Although Yi Cui was just a little girl who had never seen the world before, but now that she has become his ghost slave, she has seen a lot of the world, and now she would say that this matter is a bit strange...

Haha, interesting.

Leng Ji raised his chin slightly and raised his head, signaling Yi Cui to speak.

Seeing that Leng Ji didn't mean to blame her for talking too much, Yi Cui quickly said, "The thing is like this, last night I felt a little bored, so I went out for a stroll."

In fact, Yi Cui has done many times to go shopping in the middle of the night, and Leng Ji also knows it.

But when he went out for a stroll last night, he encountered a strange thing.

"I just wanted to look around, and then I saw a woman in a strange dress walking into the corner of this inn." Yi Cui said, "That woman is very beautiful, but her eyes are dull, she looks like It's sleepwalking."

"And then right around the corner, she killed herself."

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Yi Cui discovered that after the woman committed suicide, she was already dead, but she couldn't see her soul, as if her soul was sucked away by something.

"No soul?" Hearing this, Leng Ji couldn't help frowning, "Are you sure you read it right?"

"That's right, just in case, I went up to make sure." Yi Cui said.

"Where's your body?" Yin Yuanxiao, who had been sitting beside Leng Ji without speaking, suddenly asked.

After getting along for such a long time, in order to facilitate communication, Leng Ji gave Yin Yuanxiao a special kind of talisman. With this kind of talisman, he can see Yi Cui's figure within a certain range and hear her speak.

Of course, this special situation is only limited to Yi Cui.

"No, I read everything, but I didn't find any soul." Yi Cui said, "I don't think this matter is that simple."

Leng Ji squinted his eyes, if Yi Cui hadn't lied to him, this was the first time he knew of this situation.

——It seems interesting.

Leng Ji thought, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes.
