This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 244
The cold wind blows on people's faces like a knife across their faces.

The capital and outside the city are already overcrowded.

Countless people looked at the long queue in front of them with excitement in their eyes.

There's a war.

The people can naturally see it.

The recent news of the siege of Hangzhou has already spread like wildfire, and the people all know that this battle will start sooner or later.

But who will take charge is anyone's guess.

Today, the identity of the coach finally unveiled its mysterious veil.

Ji Xuan was dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall horse. His expression was indifferent, and he reined in with one arm. The silver spear on the winning hook was as sharp as it was 20 years ago.

The cold winter wind is nothing more than that.

Everyone watched quietly as Ji Xuan led the army to leave slowly.

Jianhong stood on the city wall, wearing a dragon robe as the cold wind gradually rose.

Looking at the scene of Ji Xuan leaving.

There was inexplicable complexity in his eyes.

"Brother Ji."

"Looking forward to returning in triumph."

Jianhong murmured, with an inexplicable emotion in his voice.

It seems to have a feeling.

At this time, Ji Xuan reined in his horse and turned around, looking at Jianhong on top of the city.

Due to the distance, Jianhong could not clearly see the expression on Ji Xuan's face, but he could vaguely feel that Ji Xuan looked back at the city with a smile on his face.

No one in the civil and military circles of the court dared to say anything at this time.

Everyone looked at the back of Ji Xuan leading his army away.

Although many noble people in the Qing Dynasty looked down on Ji Xuan, they did not deal with Ji Xuan very much in name.

But no one was dissatisfied with Ji Xuan's ability to lead an army to quell the rebellion at this time.

……

Hangzhou is already close to the capital.

If a normal person drove a horse, the journey would only take about five days.

When an army marches, the words "soldiers are more valuable and faster" are no joke.

Ji Xuan naturally knew how to march.

He also knew that the war was already tense, so he didn't let the army take much rest at all on the way.

Moreover, it was originally an official army, and the supplies for the soldiers were much better than those of Yeluzi.

All counties along the way had to make offerings to the army.

However, Ji Xuan's requirements were not high. Every time he passed through a county, it was enough to feed the three armies. There was no extra time to find other things, so the marching speed was naturally faster.

"Ji Gong, just a hundred miles ahead is Hangzhou."

Gongyang dared to look at Ji Xuan at night, respectfully left the tent, and hung a mink coat on Ji Xuan's body.

Ji Xuan didn't answer Gong Yang's words, he just frowned slightly and looked ahead.

The warrior's intuition told him that if he wanted to go ahead, he might have to pay some price.

Some physical toll.

"Oh, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Only then did Ji Xuan realize that Gongyang Gan had just reminded him.

He smiled softly, shook his head carelessly, and turned back to his tent.

……

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the guard in front of him.

His brows were furrowed like the Chinese character Sichuan.

"I can't leave this yard?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked again in an uncertain voice.

"Yes."

The guard looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly:
"His Royal Highness King Yu has told us that we must take good care of the safety of the mission."

"..."

Hearing the guard's answer, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were like daggers:

"Aren't you just putting me under house arrest in the name of taking care of your safety?"

"Lu Fengpei, please don't embarrass me."

The guard didn't say much, just looked at Lu Yuanzhi.

After a while.

Lu Yuanzhi was defeated.

Oh shit.

One of the palace guards was actually a fourth-grade warrior.

A high-quality warrior was taken by King Yu to watch over himself and others...

This was something Lu Yuanzhi could never have imagined.

Everyone can see that a war is coming.

Lu Yuanzhi was a little irritable.

Damn it, I need to get out!

Grass.

"Okay, you are ruthless."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the guard in front of him who wanted to draw his sword at the slightest disagreement.

Okay, let's play like this, right?

Okay, if you don’t go out, you won’t go out.

Lu Yuanzhi returned to his residence angrily.

After returning to his residence, he slammed the door hard.

In the blink of an eye, the expression on Lu Yuanzhi's face changed. The anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by deep solemnity.

Consistent with what I guessed.

The mission has been controlled by King Yu.

Because in the huge city of Hangzhou, there was only one envoy who was not from King Yu.

Everything else is already under King Yu's control.

……

Prince Yu's Mansion, in another courtyard.

King Yu was sitting upright on his chair.

He quietly tasted the fine tea leaves offered to him.

The fragrance of tea is refreshing.

"Your Highness, Ji Xuan has arrived at the Luo River, less than a hundred miles away from Hangzhou."

On one side, a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe sat respectfully opposite King Yu.

He sat upright, with an inexplicable meaning in his tone.

When King Yu heard the news, there was no expression on his face, he just nodded calmly.

"almost."

"Yes."

The middle-aged scribe trembled slightly when he heard King Yu's voice.

"Is that Daomen boy ready?"

King Yu seemed to be thinking of something. After taking a sip of tea, he asked the middle-aged scribe calmly.

"Your Highness, he is already at the center of the formation and is ready to launch the formation at any time."

"Oh."

King Yu nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, Your Highness, the people in the mission are now being watched by General Wang Ping... How should they deal with them?"

The middle-aged scribe asked respectfully to King Yu as if he thought of something.

"them……"

A trace of trance flashed in King Yu's eyes, and then he said:
"My imperial sister must not be allowed to receive the news at this time. After the war, I will personally explain to her. As for the people in the mission... we will wait until the dust has settled."

What to do with the people in the mission then will not be their own business.

For some things, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

"Yes……"

The middle-aged scribe nodded respectfully.

"Go ahead and tell Zeng Wen that Ji Xuan is coming and ask him to be prepared so that he doesn't get dispersed by Ji Xuan's army at the first sight."

The corner of King Yu's mouth curled up into a slight smile.

"Yes."

The middle-aged scribe stood up respectfully and left.

Watching the middle-aged scribe leave.

The smile on King Yu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference.

"Come out."

After saying this, a figure gradually emerged from the shadows.

This figure was covered in dark clothes, blending into the shadows so that no one could detect his presence.

"King Yu, that person's intention is very clear. This time he did it more neatly."

The voice was hoarse and I couldn't make out the specific sound.

"Oh."

King Yu nodded lightly: "I, the King, can do things with peace of mind."

"If there is anything I can use, just tell me."

I still couldn't tell the person's voice, not even whether he was male, female, old or young.

"of course."

King Yu chuckled lightly and said, "But if something happens, it probably won't be needed."

"That's the best."

"........."

Looking at Luohe lying in front of him.

There was an inexplicable meaning in Ji Xuan's eyes.

After crossing Luohe, we reached the boundary of Hangzhou.

"The scouts are reporting that there are rebels fifty miles ahead."

Gong Yang dared to look at Ji Xuan respectfully.

"Ah."

Ji Xuan nodded lightly.Looking at Luo Shui in front of him, he said: "Instruct the three armies to hurry up and cross the river."

"Yes."

……

"Little friend Lu, you want me to stop the army from crossing the river??"

In the ring, Master Hongyun's voice was full of disbelief.

"Correct."

Lu Yuanzhi solemnly said to Hongyun: "Quickly, even if the army has already crossed the river, we must stop Ji Gong, the commander of Pei Yinlang, and we must not let him cross the river."

"What? You have to give me a reason, right?"

Hong Yun was dumbfounded.

"I suspect that this time I went for Mr. Ji!"

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was unusually heavy.

grandma's.

Although he didn’t know how powerful the Xiwu Formation was, Lu Yuanzhi knew that within the scripture space, the top combat power of Dayong at that time, Ji Xuan, Wei Wuhou, and the dean of Qinghe Academy, the three of them actually followed A little girl from the demon tribe fought evenly...

So this risk cannot be taken at all.

"Then what reason should I use?"

If there is no reason, can Ji Xuan listen to himself?
Old Taoist Hongyun was speechless by Lu Yuanzhi's whimsical idea.

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a while:

"This matter is just my guess, and the information I know is actually consistent with Ji Gong. Even Ji Gong may know more than me. You can just say it tentatively. If Ji Gong insists on crossing the river, , then choose to believe him.”

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that the success rate of his asking Old Dao Hongyun to stop Ji Gong was almost pitiful.

But you can't just sit still and wait for death.

Must give them all a try.

"That's it."

A trace of trance flashed across Hongyun's face after hearing this.

What Lu Xiaoyou said is right. Some things are decided by human beings and just follow fate.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at it calmly and hung up the phone.

His eyes looked into the distance with vicissitudes of life.

Damn, there’s only so much I can do.

As for whether Ji Gong will listen or not...

Then it has nothing to do with myself.

Because I am not sure whether my guess is correct or not.

……

Hongyun Laodao had already started to leave when he received the news from Lu Yuanzhi.

The skill of shrinking to an inch was used by the veteran at this time like a machine gun.

The frequency of exchanges between the legs is so frequent that it is hard to see clearly.

……

Ji Xuan looked at the army crossing the river in front of him calmly.

The army crossed the river in an orderly manner under his control.

The wind blew his somewhat white hair, unable to take away any thoughts.

"Ji Gong, it's getting late. It won't be until tomorrow at the latest after crossing the river. Let's go to the tent and rest first."

Gongyang dared to stand beside Ji Xuan and persuaded him.

The army crossing the river was originally a very mammoth project.

Some small rivers can be crossed as soon as they are told, but the Luohe River...

It is the largest long river in Dayong.

Crossing the river with ten thousand troops... is also quite a cumbersome matter.

"Ah."

After hearing Gong Yanggan's words, Ji Xuan nodded calmly, glanced into the distance, and said nothing.

……

At midnight, the army finally crossed the Luohe River.

Ji Xuan walked out of the tent.

There was a look of relief in his eyes.

"Get ready, we have to cross the river too."

There was a hint of exhaustion in Ji Xuan's voice.

"Yes."

The ram dared to receive the order and immediately started to run forward and backward to get busy.

The boat gradually rowed over from the other side of the river.

The moment Ji Xuan's left foot stepped on the boat.

A voice came over

"Wait a minute, Marshal Ji, I have something to say!"

A familiar voice reached Ji Xuan's ears.

Ji Xuan was startled. He turned around and looked at the old man standing in front of him.

"alert!!!"

Gong Yang dared to look at the sudden appearance of the old man, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Ji Xuan's escort directly pulled out their swords and pointed them at Lao Dao.

Especially Gong Yang dared to stare at Lao Dao. As long as Lao Dao dared to take another step forward, he guaranteed that his knife would be much faster than Lao Dao.

……

"Master Ji..."

The old Taoist looked at the dozens of knives surrounding him and smiled bitterly.

"Put away the knife."

Ji Xuan dared to say something to Gongyang.

"Yes."

Gong Yang dared never disobey, and would not even doubt Ji Xuan's words.

Immediately ordered people to put away all the knives.

"What? Why did you stop me?"

Ji Xuan looked at the old Taoist Hongyun in front of him calmly.

The corner of the old Taoist's mouth twitched slightly and said:

"Lu Fengpei asked the old man to come."

"Ok?"

Hearing this news, Ji Xuan's brows were already furrowed.

He looked at the old man in front of him and asked calmly: "Can you contact him?"

The old man didn't intend to hide anything, so he told Ji Xuan about the ring.

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to show Ji Xuan.

"Oh."

Ji Xuan nodded suddenly.

"What's going on, tell me."

Ji Xuan looked at the old man in front of him.

"Master Ji should know something about this martial arts formation, right?"

The old Taoist looked at Ji Xuan worriedly.

"nature."

Ji Xuan nodded calmly.

"Lu Fengpei is worried about what's going on here in Hangzhou, and he may be here because of you."

……

As soon as the old Taoist said this, Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at the old Taoist with a half-smile:

"Do you know that just these words of yours can convict you of a great crime of disrespect?"

"Uh……"

The corner of the veteran's mouth twitched slightly.

What does this have to do with Taoism?
"The old Taoist can't understand what Ji Gong said."

"Haha, it's all official shit, so don't mention it."

Ji Xuan chuckled, not caring about what the old man just said.

"Master Ji, it's better not to cross the river."

The old Taoist looked at Ji Xuan solemnly.

Ji Xuan chuckled and shook his head:
"Do you know anything?"

"what?"

The old Taoist looked at Ji Xuan in confusion.

"It's nothing."

Ji Xuan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't mention it.

He smiled and said: "If you have no time to care about me, I might as well look for your Holy Son more."

After finishing speaking, he continued to shake his head and said: "I won't tell you anymore, I am going to cross the river."

After saying that, Ji Xuan turned around with a smile and walked towards the boat.

"Does Mr. Ji know that if he goes away... his life will be in danger?"

The old man opened his mouth and finally said it.

Ji Xuan just chuckled.

"What does that have to do with my role in countering rebellion?"

After saying that, he ignored the old man again, got on the boat by himself, and ordered the people to cross the river quickly...

The old Taoist looked at Ji Xuan's back.

Sigh lightly.

"Ugh."

…………

"What?? Still crossing the river??"

After Lu Yuanzhi heard what the old man said, his eyes widened and he looked at the ring on his middle finger in disbelief.

Then he glanced at the door of the room with a guilty conscience. After finding no suspicious person, he lowered his voice and said:

"Didn't you say it was me who said it??"

"Of course Pindao said it, and just after saying that it was you who said this, Mr. Ji immediately got on the boat and crossed the river and left..."
