Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 861
Chapter 861 Walk Alone
Across from the Frost Smoke Green Lake was a short mountain. This short mountain was made by man, and all of it was made of the most abundant Lunar Surging Stones in Bai Family’s Holy City.
One had to know that the city wall constructed by Yue Yingshi was a very important factor for Bai Family’s Holy City to defend against this siege of ferocious beasts for such a long time. From this, it could be seen that the Yue Ying Stone was not something that could be easily destroyed.
But just now, Jiang Feng gently waved his hand.
The entire mountain had exploded into powder. Even Jiang Feng couldn’t believe that it was made by him.
Jiang Feng stood there in a daze. Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, and Bai Wentian rushed over when they heard the noise.
The four nervously asked, “Lord, are you alright?”
“Lord?”
After the four of them called Jiang Feng a few times, Jiang Feng finally reacted. He turned around to look at Bai Wentian and the others, his face still filled with shock.
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, “Oh … I’m fine, I’m fine.”
“Lord, what happened just now is …”
Bai Wentian asked Jiang Feng cautiously. He had more or less guessed that this short mountain was probably destroyed because of Jiang Feng.
This was probably true. After all, this place was the Bai Clan’s Sacred Palace, and there were three Sacred realms guarding it. Who could sneak in and destroy this short mountain without any business, and not injure Jiang Feng? The most likely answer was Jiang Feng himself.
Jiang Feng looked at his hands. Actually, he did not know what realm he had become.
Jiang Feng didn’t want to say anything else, so he changed the topic to Bai Wentian, “Old Master, what are you looking for me for?”
“Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot if the country lord didn’t mention it.” What a smart person Bai Wentian was. The moment he saw Jiang Feng change the topic, he immediately understood that Jiang Feng was unwilling to talk about the destruction of the short mountain.
Bai Wentian said, “This subordinate came to find the country lord to discuss the matter of the Heavenly Core Millet with the country lord.”
Within the jurisdiction of Bai Family’s Holy City, there were two imperial cities and four imperial cities, all of which were in desperate need of Heavenly Core Millet. We sent people to other cities in Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain to purchase the Heavenly Core Millet. We discovered that the Heavenly Core Millet in the other cities is under the control of the royal clan and their clan relatives.
“They deliberately bid up the price of the Heavenly Core Millet, asking for three thousand Primordial Chaos Crystal Coins a jin.”
Jiang Feng nodded after hearing what Bai Wentian had said. He did not feel that there was anything to be surprised about. If he was a Heavenly Yi Imperial Clan, he would not only bid up the price of the Heavenly Core Millet, he would probably bid up the prices of all the materials needed by Bai Family’s Holy City.
Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, “We will try our best to solve this kind of commercial matter by commercial means. We have only just returned to Bai Family’s Holy City. Before we have a firm foothold, we should try our best not to clash head-on with the Tianyi Imperial Clan.”
“Yes, that’s what I think. However, I still have to ask the country lord for help in finding a solution to this matter.”
“Leave this matter to me. Please call Ning Xuan over. I’ll tell you the details of how to deal with this matter.”
“Yes!”
Jiang Feng was waiting for Bai Ningxuan in the back garden of the Bai Clan Sacred Palace. Not long after, Bai Ningxuan arrived.
When Bai Ningxuan saw Jiang Feng, he immediately asked, “Young Marshal, I heard that you destroyed a rockery made of Lunar Surging Stone with one palm just now? Why did you suddenly become so powerful? Did you break through? What realm is it now?”
“You asked so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?”
Jiang Feng glanced at his right hand and said, “Actually, I don’t know what realm I am at. I feel that I should be stronger than before. Let’s talk about it when we have a chance.”
“Alright, I called you here to discuss business with you. Have you heard about Tian Xin Su from Old Master Bai?”
“Yes, I heard. What are you going to do?”
Bai Ningxuan asked Jiang Feng with killing intent. Obviously, he was very angry about the other cities in Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain deliberately raising the price of the Heavenly Core Millet. If Jiang Feng asked him to bring people to snatch the Heavenly Core Millet now, Bai Ningxuan would probably raise her hands and feet in agreement.
Jiang Feng shook his head and patted Bai Ningxuan on the shoulder. “You don’t need to be so impatient. Not everything can be solved by fighting and killing. We’ll try our best to avoid conflict and settle the matter in a roundabout way.”
“A roundabout solution? How? They want to sell the Heavenly Core Millet to us at such a high price. Obviously, they don’t want to sell it to us.”
“Ho ho.” Jiang Feng smiled. “You said it yourself. They don’t want to sell it to us. But that doesn’t mean they don’t do business, right? Isn’t it a waste for them to keep so many Heavenly Core Millets? Let’s go find our acquaintances and see if we can secretly buy some from them.”
“An acquaintance?” For a moment, Bai Ningxuan did not think that she had any acquaintances outside the jurisdiction of Bai Family’s Holy City.
Jiang Feng reminded Bai Ningxuan, “Didn’t Jin Ze and Jian Yun come from the royal family?”
“Oh! Right, right. Shao Jianyun is the eldest grandson of the Shao Imperial Clan. I saved his life under the claws of the Black-crowned Dragon Beast. I’ll go find him.”
“Alright, then I’ll go find Jin Ze. Jin Ze also came about the matter with Tiger Samurai Island last time. If Jin Ze can help, I believe he won’t refuse.”
“Alright, then we’ll split up into two groups and look for them separately.”
Bai Ningxuan and Jiang Feng made up their minds without any delay. They immediately told Bai Wentian and the others and left the city.
Jiang Feng and Bai Ningxuan came out of Bai Family’s Holy City alone this time. Xuanyuan Chengde and A’er were worried about following Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng refused one by one.
After Jiang Feng and Bai Ningxuan went on the road together, they parted ways at the three forks of the Purple Bamboo Slope.
Jiang Feng rode a Nether Blood Battle Horse in the direction of Jiahai Imperial City, while Bai Ningxuan went to Ya Ling Imperial City alone.
The two of them were both hiding their identities, so there was no need to worry about any dangers.
Ever since he returned to Primordial world, Jiang Feng had followed a few people wherever he went. This time, he was on his way alone, and he felt that it was quite new.
As he was walking, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered the days when he had gone down Zhongnan Mountain to look for Han Chuxue in Hangzhou.
Incidentally, Jiang Feng also remembered the first snow, Xiao Yun, and the others.
Jiang Feng suddenly heard a song.
The singer was obviously a woman, but the singer sounded rather heroic. It was clearly a female voice, but it sang a kind of free and easy feeling in Jianghu with a sword.
Jiang Feng looked towards the direction where the voice came from with great interest. He saw a nine-man team riding a purple-tempered dragon steed towards him.
There were seven men and two women among the nine. The girl who sang was riding the Purple-tempered Dragon Foal at the front of the line. Although she was dressed as a daughter, she gave off a feeling of being straightforward and capable. At a glance, she was someone who often walked in Jianghu.
Jiang Feng paused for a moment before the nine-man troop came up very close to him.
The leading girl clasped a fist at Jiang Feng and greeted him with a smile, “Hello, little brother. We are disciples of the Guang Xia Sect. My name is Si Ruxue. May I ask who you are?”
“My name is Jiang Feng. I have no sect or sect. I’m just an ordinary person.”
“Oh, Brother Jiang.”
Si Ruxue wasn’t beautiful, but with her outgoing personality and a hearty smile, it was very easy for her to win the favor of others.
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded. Then, he took the initiative to ask, “May I know where everyone is going?”
“We are going to the Sword Sound Sect of Zeyu Imperial City to participate in Senior Mo Xiaofeng’s Sword Concealment Ceremony. Where is Brother Jiang going? If it’s on the way, why don’t we go together?”
“I happened to be on the same path to Jiahai Imperial City. If you don’t mind …”
Jiang Feng originally wanted to leave alone, but hearing Si Ruxue’s words, he really had the idea of accompanying them.
However, halfway through Jiang Feng’s words, the remaining young girl in Si Ruxue’s group said with a disdainful expression, “It doesn’t matter if you come with us, but don’t blame me for not reminding you.” “Don’t expect us to help you if you encounter any trouble along the way. Our Guang Xia Sect is also considered a famous sect, so we won’t casually work as bodyguards for others.”
“Junior Sister!” Si Ruxue turned around and glared at the young girl, who curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
A man who was riding with Si Ruxue smiled and said, “Senior Sister, although Junior Sister is straightforward, there is still a reason. We have never known each other before, so it would be inconvenient for us to rashly form a companion, so …”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Jiang Feng directly hugged Si Ruxue with a smile. Then, he placed his legs on the belly of the Underworld Blood Battle Horse. The Underworld Blood Battle Horse immediately let go of its hooves and galloped wildly.
The speed of the Underworld Blood Battle Horse was naturally not something that the Purple-tempered Dragon Horse could compare to. It didn’t take long for Jiang Feng to dump Si Ruxue and the others after he sprinted wildly.
Si Ruxue’s junior sister snorted coldly as she watched Jiang Feng’s disappearing figure. “What’s there to be so arrogant about riding a Nether Blood Battle Horse? It’s too rude for my senior brother to leave before he finished speaking. Fortunately, he didn’t walk with such a person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what he would do.”
Si Ruxue turned around and looked at her junior sister. She sighed and shook her head without saying anything else.
Jiang Feng’s Underworld Blood Battle Horse ran very fast. At dusk, Jiang Feng arrived at Yangze County.
Yangze County was not far from Jiahai Imperial City. If Jiang Feng traveled overnight, he should be able to enter Yangze County at dusk the next day.
However, Jiang Feng was not in a hurry to get to Jiahai Imperial City, so he first went to Yangze County to find an inn to stay in.
Yangze County wasn’t big, there were only four or five inns in the county.
Jiang Feng chose this inn called “Looking forward to customers”. According to the waiter in the inn, it was the best inn in the county.
After Jiang Feng checked into the inn, he first washed up, then after resting for a while, he went down to the inn lobby to order some food and wine.
Just as the dishes that Jiang Feng ordered were served, the purple-tempered dragon steed’s cry rang out at the entrance of the inn.
Jiang Feng’s ears twitched slightly, and he immediately knew that these people were Si Ruxue and the others.
