Chapter 30: Deciphering the Ghosts
The eastern region is bordered by the East China Sea and is divided between it and the Central Plains by the Taihao Mountains. It has many hilly landforms, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
When the Great Zhou unified the world, Emperor Taizu went through a lot of hardships to find a strange man who was good at taming sea beasts. He marched from the sea and avoided the natural trench of Taihao Mountain, and then he broke through the eastern territory guarded by the Xu family.
In order to seize the time, Wu Jun and others took a shortcut to cross the Taihao Mountains and then bypassed Donglai Mountains, and then arrived in the Eastern Region.
It was almost noon, and everyone stopped, took out the prey they had caught in the mountains, and started burying the stove to cook.
Wu Jun treated the bloodthirsty bull hunted by Qin Yue'er, then burned the charcoal with Phoenix True Fire, took out the copper pot, and gathered with Princess Changping and others to simmer the beef.
Without her mother fighting for food, Qin Yue'er was in a good mood and even looked much better. She was humming a song while eating hot pot and looking happy.
"A little girl who eats beef can eat a basket of food at a time. What should I do if I can't eat enough? Let's have a basket of food..."
While eating hot pot and singing, a thunder suddenly sounded thunder on the ground, and a fierce man's voice sounded on the mountain: "Robbery!"
Qin Yue'er's body trembled, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "No, someone is here to grab our hot pot!"
Changping glanced at her and complained: "Who will come to steal your hot pot? Are you a starving ghost reincarnated as a bandit..."
Before he finished speaking, the voice rang out again: "Everyone will listen to me! Leave all the food and drinks, I will spare you all the time!"
Changping glared at his almond eyes in surprise: "It's really a bandit who reincarnated from a starving ghost..."
At this time, a fat man in filthy clothes walked out of the mountain road, followed by a group of ragged young girls, swallowing their saliva and staring at the food on the ground with green eyes.
Wu Jun glanced at the Xia Kui beside him, then looked at the more than twenty masters in the third and fourth realms in front of him, and couldn't help but show a strange expression: "Uncle, someone is robbing us."
Xia Kui said with a sigh: "I haven't met a bandit for many years. The bandits who robbed me before were good. Before they died, they gave me silver and treasures. Even the money for building a house was paid by them."
Wu Jun glanced at Xiakui with contempt: "Uncle, if you rob, you will say that you robbed, it will be a mess."
Xia Kui said with a serious expression: "It was really what they gave me voluntarily. They said that as long as I let them go, I would give me all the money I have accumulated over the years. After I promised them, I fulfilled my promise as promised and let one of their horses go."
“…”
Wu Jun's eyes twitched: "Uncle, you... are really a promise. I think they must be very moved before they die."
When Xia Kui recalled the past, the fat man had already led the man to the front, holding a wooden stick, and looked at Wu Jun and others with a fierce look.
Wu Jun raised his face and looked at the fat man, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Boss Xu?"
The fat man trembled and looked at Wu Jun carefully. Seeing that he didn't seem to know him, he couldn't help but frown: "Who are you?"
Wu Jun coughed dryly: "I came from the capital. Boss Xu from Zuixianlou, who doesn't know him in the capital!"
Xu Chang, the boss of the Zuixian Tower, is so familiar with him. When he played the fortune teller before, he fooled him... Cough cough, he also wrote a hexagram for Xu Chang. The hexagram is a golden scale, but it is not a thing in the pond. When the wind and clouds change, the dragon...
It is very rare for people like Xu Chang to be generous, so Wu Jun has a deep impression of him. Even though he is now in a dirt, he is still recognized by Wu Jun.
Seeing that Wu Jun really knew him, Xu Chang was not nervous, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a silver note from his arms and said, "Sell us some food. The children behind me have not eaten for several days."
Wu Jun took the silver note and asked curiously: "Isn't Donglai Pass ahead? You are so rich, won't you go to the city to buy food?"
Xu Chang sat down with pain and sighed, "If I want to be able to enter the city, how could I fall to this point? I don't know which evil spirit came up with a bad idea. I set up a question at the checkpoint, and I won't let it enter the city if I don't answer correctly."
Wu Jun said in surprise: "There is such a strange thing? Even you can't answer it. Are those questions difficult?"
Xu Chang nodded, then shook his head again: "It's not difficult to say it's hard, I'm asking about what happened in the Eastern Region recently. But I've been in the capital for a whole year. I know what the name of the third concubine who the elder married is the first to be!"
"Well……"
Wu Jun froze slightly, looked at Changping with him, and vaguely felt that it was coming for them.
After a moment of silence, Wu Jun changed the subject and looked at a group of voracious teenage girls beside him, and asked, "What are these children doing?"
Xu Chang looked at the beef, looked at the children who were sweating all over the head, and smiled and said, "When I was in the capital before, I met a master, and I was lucky enough to let that master tell me a fortune.
The master said that Fengyun was the turning point in my life. The next day I met a child with the word Yun in his name. I didn’t know what happened at that time. Suddenly, I was blessed to my heart. I took in a group of miserable children along the way and named them Fengyun one by one!"
Wu Jun: "…"
This Boss Xu... is so fucking a genius!
When the wind was in chaos, a girl carrying a bag walked down from the mountain road with a dejected look on her face, turning a blind eye to Wu Jun and others, with a feeling of undispersed depression on her face.
Wu Jun recognized her with sharp eyes and greeted: "Niece! Yanran's virtuous niece!"
Xu Yanran stopped and turned to look. When she saw that it was Wu Jun, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Why are you here?"
Wu Jun smiled and said, "Is it just the New Year? I'll go out and have a casual walk. But you, you have been in the army for three years and haven't been home. You have finally come back and don't stay at home and why are you running out again?"
Xu Yanran sighed and said, "After leaving Zhennan Army, I went back to the master's sect first, and studied the formations you gave with my master. After I had thoroughly disassembled and understood, I wanted to go home, but I found that I could not go back."
Wu Jun was surprised and said, "Aren't you a direct subordinate of the Xu family? They won't even let you go?"
Xu Yanran nodded depressedly and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't let me know which bastard was asking the question, let me know who was doing it badly. I've peeled off his skin!"
Wu Jun pretended to be careless and said, "Oh? What's the question they asked you?"
Xu Yanran took a deep breath and said, "They asked me what age was Xu Yanran weaned!"
Wu Jun said with a strange look: "Hmm? You can't even answer your own affairs?"
