after the villain

09.

Two people came, but three people left.

After Guan Duhong said a few words to Lin Yuezhi in secret, Lin Yuezhi changed into clothes that were easy to move around, with a terrifying meteor hammer pinned to his waist, and left with Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming saw that she was worried about him, and he didn't expose it.

On the way, Ji Wuming caught a glimpse of Yan Jingyu's lips pursed tightly, his brows and eyes were deep, and he stretched out his hand to hold his forehead from time to time, thinking that he was thinking about something, so he took the initiative to say, "If you want to ask, I may answer one or two."

The deep voice fell into his ears, and Yan Jingyu suddenly came back to his senses. When he saw Ji Wuming's face, he remembered the touch of the opponent's hand on his head just now, and his face suddenly turned red.

She was obviously shy and embarrassed, but there was a murderous look in her dark eyes for no reason.

Lin Yuezhi was the first to wake up, her back tensed, her hand had already touched the chain of the meteor hammer, and she flew out when there was any movement, smashing the enemy's head.

Yan Jingyu keenly caught Lin Yuezhi's movements, the redness on her cheeks faded instantly, her lips and eyes drooped tightly, showing a bit of bewilderment.

Ji Wuming has been with him for many days, although he can't figure out all his emotions thoroughly, he can still see one or two points. He immediately gestured to Lin Yuezhi with his hands behind his back, and then asked Yan Jingyu, "I really don't think so?" Want to ask me?"

Yan Jingyu answered honestly: "Yes."

Ever since he knew Ji Wuming's identity, he had doubts about the evil palace, but usually Ji Wuming didn't mention it, and he didn't ask.

"Oh? Let's talk about it." Ji Wuming signaled.

He originally thought that Yan Jingyu would ask some secrets, and he was thinking about it in his heart, but he saw the young man in blue pursed his lips, and asked him, "Why do you call yourself Xieyang Palace?"

Ji Wuming was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the question on his face did not seem to be fake, he couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yuezhi didn't expect him to ask this, so he relaxed a little, covered his aching abdominal wound and said, "It's the Xieyang Palace!"

Yan Jingyu was even more puzzled.

Ji Wuming bent his lips to explain his confusion, "The word setting sun is taken from the poem 'The mountains reflect the setting sun and the sky catches the water', which originally described the wonderful scenery of the setting sun reflecting the waterfall on the endless cliff."

He paused, and continued with a calm expression, "The name of the evil palace was really spread after my uncle took office, and he is also proud of it, so the world only knows the evil palace but not the Xieyang palace."

Ji Wuming didn't want to mention Ji Yuan much, and Lin Yuezhi seemed to despise the old palace lord, and said sarcastically, "His actions are indeed evil, but it's just a burden—"

Before she finished speaking, the two quickly stopped the topic.

Yan Jingyu asked a few more innocuous questions, mostly about the grievances between the Nether Sect and the evil palace.

Lin Yuezhi will answer these questions on her behalf. Under Ji Wuming's instruction, she also revealed that Chi Luo Yuanyi was in Anyang City, pretending to be worried, "Now I and Ah Man are both injured. With those self-proclaimed upright people and Chi Luo Yuanyi watching over them, I'm afraid they don't have much chance of winning."

Yan Jingyu listened carefully, looked at the two of them with their eyebrows fixed in thought, and suddenly affirmed, "You are very close, she calls you Ah Man."

Yan Jingyu could tell that Lin Yuezhi called "Aman" in a very familiar tone.

"Ah?" The conversation suddenly changed sharply, but Lin Yuezhi didn't react.

Yan Jingyu stared at Ji Wuming, staring at Ji Wuming with inexplicable guilt, coughed and explained, "I was called Ah Man when I was young, and she learned from my father, so she can be regarded as my senior sister."

He paused for a moment, then laughed again, "Don't look at her like this, but she is actually more than a year older than me, born in the same year as Jiang Qi."

Everyone knows that Jiang Qi, the left guardian of the evil palace, is good at wielding large swords. She is a strong man with a thick back and a beard. Delicate and soft, with pretty eyebrows and eyes, he looks harmless to humans and animals, and is charming. The weapon is a pair of meteor hammers.

When the two travel together, they look like father and daughter.

However, Jiang Qi joined the sect much later than Lin Yuezhi. When the evil palace was established, Lin Yuezhi was the congregation.

Being exposed suddenly, Lin Yuezhi raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Ji Man!"

Yan Jingyu stared in shock at the woman who couldn't tell she was nearly forty years old, and after a while he murmured four words: "...so amazing."

Lin Yuezhi's pretty face turned cold, and she gave him a look, "Shut up! I'm eighteen!"

"...Oh." Yan Jingyu looked away awkwardly, not daring to ask any more questions.

All the way back to the water side, it happened that Nangong Sheng and Yan Guitian also came back separately, talking in front of a luxurious carriage.

"I had never heard of this sect before, and I didn't know that it had something to do with the evil palace, and I didn't know why they were searching for Ji Wuming's portraits everywhere." Nangong Cheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I heard that the followers of the Nether Sect flocked to Central Plains, I don’t know what to do.”

Yan Guitian said seriously, "No matter what you do, there are always clues."

"That's right." Nangong Cheng nodded, his face still cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking while stroking the horse's mane.

Ji Wuming squinted his eyes, and Lin Yuezhi didn't look good either.

Yan Guitian was the first to see the three of them, and greeted Yan Jingyu with a smile, "Little brother, you went out with Miss Ahman, I blamed me for searching everywhere and missing you, so I waited for you here."

Yan Jingyu stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is there something you want from me?"

Yan Guitian happily said: "I went to the post station to send a letter. A few days ago, my family also sent a letter. One of them was written to you by my father. I will bring it to you."

Yan Jingyu couldn't hide his surprise, he really didn't expect Yan Nanxing to write him a letter, but he didn't feel that Yan Nanxing would say anything good in the letter, but seeing Yan Guitian's face full of joy, he still followed in silence. He went to get the letter.

Nangong Sheng unfolded the folding fan, and he was holding a handsome and suave young man. Looking at the extra person behind Ji Wuming, his appearance almost picked his liking.

Seeing the weapon on his waist again, he inquired as he liked, "This heroine looks very familiar, Xiaosheng Nangong Sheng lives in Suzhou, Jiangnan, do you know the name of a heroine?"

Before Lin Yuezhi came, she already knew from Guan Duhong that Ji Wuming entered the city together with Yannan Tiannangongcheng. Seeing this, she was secretly surprised, paying attention to the relationship between Yan Guitian and the young man in Tsing Yi. Sheng doesn't like to strike up a conversation.

Her appearance and temper were completely opposite, and she even spat out, "Young Master Nangong has said this to countless girls, the ones who look familiar are probably going to go from Jiangnan to Qingzhou! Greasy tongue!"

"Get out of the way, don't block the way of me and Ah Man."

But one day and one night, the two girls didn't like to see him. Nangong Cheng, who had always been invincible, touched his nose in embarrassment, and silently turned sideways to make way.

Because they had to buy some to fill their bags, they stayed in Anyang City for a few more days.

The old man bought a lot on the first day, Xiaoer ran back and forth seven or eight times before moving all the things back, and directly stuffed the luxury carriage that Nangong Sheng bought tightly.In the middle of the night, a businessman from Mobei also brought two tall horses, one black and one white looking lean, but when asked about the price, it was much more expensive than Nangong Cheng's carriage.

I don't know where he got those silver taels.

After the old man bought it, he held a few boxes of medicinal materials overnight and borrowed a kitchen on the water side. He stayed there for several days and nights. Finally, the medicinal materials were bottomed out, and he took out a few porcelain bottles. What.

"You'll know if you try it yourself?" The old man urged with a strange smile.

Ji Wuming had a hunch that it was poison, and he and Yan Jingyu shot at almost the same time, and grabbed Lin Yuezhi who wanted to touch it—the old man encouraged them to touch it, if they were really poisoned, he might not necessarily help solve it.

Also curious was Nangong Sheng, he had asked Yan Guitian about this unknown senior, Yan Guitian didn't know much, he only said that the old man had saved Yan Nanxing's life.

"Father told me that seniors have three rules: don't cure unless it's a strange poison; don't treat it unless it's near death; don't cure it unless it's difficult." Yan Guitian said.

Nangong Cheng thought that the old man was a doctor with excellent medical skills, and was about to test it out, so he went forward.

There are eight porcelain vases on the table, and the old man motioned him to choose randomly, Nangong Sheng stretched his hand to the middle.

"The first one on the left," Yan Jingyu said suddenly, "Choose that one."

The old man let out a dissatisfied "ah".

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yan." Nangong Cheng picked up the bottle, poured out a pill from inside and swallowed it.

Afterwards, he looked at his palms and touched his face again, but nothing happened.

The old man put away all the medicine bottles and hummed, "Look at it in two hours, just wait!"

At that time, Nangong Sheng didn't take it seriously, and smiled gracefully.

Ji Wuming asked Yan Jingyu, "Do you know what's inside?"

Yan Jingyu shook her head, "I don't know."

Lin Yuezhi: "Then you let him choose the one on the left?"

Yan Jingyu said: "The more the old man cherishes, the closer he will be to himself. I just saw that the first bottle on the left is the farthest away, so it shouldn't kill anyone."

He had already tacitly agreed that the old man's system was all poison, and Lin Yuezhi felt lucky.

The horse the old man bought was named for Ji Wuming and Yan Jingyu. One of the two original horses was used to pull the carriage. Nangong Sheng volunteered to be Lin Yuezhi's coachman, but Lin Yuezhi also wanted to ride a horse.

"Anyang is not too close to Huaiyang. If we set off at this time, we will arrive at noon tomorrow." Nangong Sheng said with a concerned face, "Riding a horse is hard, Miss Lin should take a carriage."

"Just change when you're tired." Lin Yuezhi rolled his eyes at him, and Nangong Cheng regretted giving up.

Businessmen from the two countries in Anyang City came and went frequently, and the team moving out of the city was slow, so they listened to the chats in the surrounding teahouses.

"Have you heard? Mr. Han offended a distinguished guest by telling stories in Manxianglou a few days ago. He was beaten so badly that he still can't get out of bed."

"The "Siege of Endless Cliff" I enjoyed listening to, and I don't know why the guest is not satisfied."

"It seems to be... that Ji Wuming was portrayed as too incompetent."

"Hey! It's a new thing that there are still people in the world who support the big devil!" A group of people in the tea shop laughed together.

Someone lowered his voice and pointed to the crowd leaving the city: "Shhh! Keep your voice down, the distinguished guest hasn't gone far yet."

Manxianglou is directly opposite to Shuifang, and Ji Wuming naturally heard what was said in the building for a few days. , was still persuaded by Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming didn't care how others arranged himself, but he didn't expect that someone would jump out to defend him.

What a novelty.

He drove his horse out of the city and looked at the crowd scattered in front of him. It was obviously impossible to find someone with a few words.

Ji Wuming withdrew his gaze and kept this matter in his mind for the time being.

And he didn't expect that in a few days, he would meet this "honored guest".
