Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 203 Meeting (Part )

"Gu Jingnian." The three-year-old boy actually knew Gu Jingnian and said, "He can sense whether the person we are looking for is in Lianxi Mountain."

Long Minzhi said: "If you think so, then he is not here. Because he has not sensed it, at least not in Lianzhou City."

The three-year-old was stunned and said, "How can I believe you?"

Then, he held his chin in his hand and thought, "It seems too far away. Is he deep in Lianxi Mountain?"

Eavesdropping on their conversation, Gu Jingnian realized that he had been watched by the Cage People the entire time, and even in Yong State he had not completely escaped their sight.

Was it the spies they planted in Yong State who secretly passed the information, or was it someone around him who leaked the news?
Long Minzhi knew it so clearly, it must be the latter. Was it Pei Nian? Miao Chunniang? Or even Feng Niang?
Gu Jingnian thought about this and thought of another possibility. Could it be that Long Minzhi had seen that he was here and deliberately tested him with words?

"Mr. Long," Yin Kuo said, "We only communicated through letters before, but today I finally get to meet him in person."

Long Minzhi smiled faintly.

Yin Kuo said, "I can understand the creation of the world thanks to Mr. Long. I should thank him in person."

This time, Long Minzhi was too lazy to even smile. She just nodded slightly as a response.

In the past, Yin Kuo held great power, and it was worth her effort to guide him onto the path of refining and make use of him. Now that Yin Kuo has fallen into this state, he is not even worth her second glance.

According to the original plan, she didn't have to come all the way here, and Gu Beiming and Yin Kuo would work together to take advantage of the power of the Yong court to handle the matter. Unfortunately, complications arose, Gu Beiming rebelled and couldn't come, and although Yin Kuo came, he had become a clown.

Seeing how fickle people were, Yin Kuo sneered in his heart, although he didn't show it on his face. He thought to himself that this Rui man thought he had lost his power and was of no use to him, but he had no idea of the strength of the Dayong Kingdom.

Soon, moonlight shone through the clouds.

Suddenly, there was another figure sitting on a seat.

He was a handsome and majestic man in his forties, dressed in a luxurious white robe. He sat there with a graceful demeanor and raised his glass to drink, which fit in perfectly with the scene at the banquet.

But if you look closely, you will find that the man is holding a golden cup with crystal clear wine in it, and the porcelain cup on the low table is still there, containing the red wine prepared by the Tiansheng Army, but he has not picked it up.

This person not only brought his own cup, but also reached down and picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. However, the chopsticks and dish on the low table remained untouched.

The one who came was Shen Jichi.

Or it could be said to be the shadow of Shen Jichi.

"Marquis Wuding."

Long Minzhi and the three-year-old child took Shen Jichi very seriously and greeted him.

Shen Jichi nodded, looked around, saw Yin Kuo, and smiled slightly, "Emperor Yong has troubled to come here in person. It seems that there is no one in Yong State."

It is obvious that the powerful people on the seats are all from Rui.

This is why Yin Kuo had to devote himself to alchemy. Over the past few decades, the Rui Kingdom used alchemy to drain the Yue Kingdom, and a group of masters loyal to Emperor Rui emerged. Coupled with their powerful intelligence capabilities, these masters are almost omnipresent and can take the initiative in many matters.

On the other hand, Yin Yuhe and Yin Jinggeng, father and son, did not send even one person, which showed their incompetence. He, an old man who had been driven off the throne, had to worry about it.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yin Kuo refused to admit defeat. He carefully touched his beard that was easily torn off and said, "Although Yong State does not have a strong man like Mr. Shen who draws strength from other countries, Yong State is full of talents and its overall strength is no less than that of Rui State."

"Really?" Shen Jichi asked casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen figures appeared outside the camp.

The leader was a plain-looking man who walked up to Shen Jichi, bowed, and said, "I am Zhong Wei, the Northern Yamen of Kaiping Division, and I am honored to meet Marquis Wuding."

"Ah."

Zhong Wei then brought his men to stand behind Shen Jichi. It was obvious that each of these people was extremely powerful.

Their appearance was like a rebuttal to Yin Kuo's recent wild words.

Gu Jingnian noticed that among the people brought by Zhong Wei, there was a figure who did not fit in with them.

He was a very sloppy and rough man, with long greasy hair hanging on his head, and a pair of sharp eyes looking around.

Gu Jingnian quickly recognized him. It was the Fox Bayi who recognized him in disguise in Jingyuan County. He liked to capture wanted criminals for the government and collect rewards. He didn't expect that he would run to Ruiguo. He didn't know whether he was still being hunted by the government.

Although Gu Jingnian's disguise was more sophisticated today, he was still afraid of being recognized by Hu Bayi, so he quietly took two steps behind Guan Tianze.

Afterwards, he continued to observe the people brought by Zhong Wei and recognized two familiar people.

One was an ugly man whose body could stretch very long, and the other was a tall and thin young man who killed Gu Caiwei and Xing'er in front of him.

Murderous intent overflowed from Gu Jingnian's eyes. He lowered his head and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Marquis Wuding." Zhong Wei reported: "The Yong court has sent another team, which is in the valley, led by Gu Jingnian."

Long Minzhi had mentioned this matter just now, but Zhong Wei's emphasis was different when he repeated it. He added: "These are all the manpower that Yong Ting has in the valley." With these words, his contempt for Yong State was evident.

However, just as Zhong Wei finished speaking, a voice suddenly sneered, "It's too early to say that."

Everyone turned around and saw more than ten people walking over. The man in the lead looked righteous and had a long three-strand beard. It was Qu Jizhi.

The one who had just ridiculed Zhong Wei was not Qu Jizhi, but a huge fat man behind him.

Unlike Qu Jizhi's modesty, the fat man seemed extremely arrogant. He held his head high and said, "Who said that Yong State has no people? Take that back!"

What was rare was that although he raised his head high, his neck was still layered and not exposed.

Shen Jichi ignored him, but raised the wine glass in his hand and toasted Qu Ji from a distance.

Qu Jizhi nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Yin Kuo. Although his expression did not change, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. After a slight hesitation, he politely said, "Grand Emperor."

Yin Kuo did not have the experience of going to Yongjing to find Qu Jizhi to protect the emperor and being killed by Gu Jingnian in the end. He still had the impression that Qu Jizhi was a loyal minister.

So, with encouragement in his eyes, he asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Qu?"

"I am following your majesty's orders to understand the root cause of the severe drought in the southwest and to learn that there are spies from other countries here, so I came here."

Qu Jizhi did not flatter but directly brought out Yin Yuhe's intention, which made Yin Kuo a little embarrassed.

This was also a well-intentioned reminder, hoping that Yin Kuo would not continue to be stubborn. Unfortunately, Yin Kuo did not understand Qu Jizhi's intentions, and the eager expectation in his eyes did not fade.

At this point, the originally empty banquet was now full of guests.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard.

"Haha, everyone is here. Thank you all for giving Ren some face."

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man holding the reins and leading a carriage.

This middle-aged man was tall and slender, dressed in red, with his long hair loose and untied, and a somewhat evil expression on his face.

He led the carriage into the camp as if no one was around, moved the carriage stool and put it in place, lifted the curtain, and said, "Miss Hu, we're here, please come in."

"Thank you, Grandmaster Ren."

"It is an honor for Ren to be able to take Miss Hu here."

During the conversation, a beautiful figure came out of the car.

It was a young girl, holding a guqin, with her head slightly lowered, and she got off the carriage carefully.

Just this one action can make people feel her grace and elegance.

Although Gu Jingnian had seen many beautiful women, none of them was more ladylike than her.

The evil middle-aged man in red waved his sleeves gracefully, and the bonfire in the camp suddenly lit up, lighting up the banquet room as if it were daytime, and even giving people a dazzling feeling.

Then he personally led the beautiful lady to her seat, looked around at everyone, and spoke in a loud voice.

"I'm afraid some of you don't recognize Miss Hu. Let me introduce you. Yan State has a master called Xiu Yi Zhizhi, who is known as the 'internal minister'. He is in charge of the internal affairs. Miss Hu, this is Lord Shen Jichi, the Marquis of Wuding of Rui State. Although he is only a shadow, he is an unparalleled master. This is Mr. Long Minzhilong, the owner of the cage. And this one, don't look at him like a three-year-old child, he is actually over a hundred years old, Mr. Meng Shaoweng, Mr. Meng Lao..."

They are introduced not based on their official positions, but on their abilities.

Mi Sheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and whispered to Guan Tianze: "It's Hu Jingnan, I heard that he is the most trusted person of the Queen of Yan State, and he is so young."

"Yan people?" Guan Tianze suddenly thought of something and replied: "Then this Mr. Ren, could it be that he is from Yu country..."

"I guess so, Yu State Master, Ren Shuangfei."

As they spoke, both the father-in-law and the son-in-law looked much more serious.

Gu Jingnian didn't know these people very well. Standing behind them and listening, he just felt that these people were quite unruly and didn't seem to be the powerful people in other countries.

He walked forward, looked at Mi Sheng, and said, "You sit there, where should I sit?"

Mi Sheng's expression changed for a moment, and after a moment, he laughed and said, "Please take a seat, Mr. Ren."

This rough man was also a man of flexibility and adaptability. After saying that, he took Guan Tianze and Gu Jingnian down obediently.

"Since today's game is Ren's, I won't be polite."

Ren Shuangfei immediately sat down with his hands on the low table, leaning sideways, looking a little lazy.

He picked up the wine glass and played with it, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. Everyone is here for a simple reason, either for the vision of Lian Xishan or for the firebird. As for me, I can tell you what happened."
