The sun was setting, and the golden afterglow illuminated the entire world.
Zhao Jin sat cross-legged on the bed. His internal strength circulated along his meridians, and a warm aura began to circulate throughout his body. Compared to in Jia Zhou City, his internal strength was now more than twice as large. After all, ten days of effort was not in vain. He practiced on time and did not dare to delay at all.。
"Hmm?" After circulating his cultivation for nine times, Zhao Jin suddenly sensed the movement, and the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile.
"Come in, stop hiding. Since you deliberately made a noise, why are you pretending to be a gentleman?”Zhao Jin suddenly opened his deep black and white eyes. His pupils that were as bright as the starry sky bloomed with brilliance. His voice could not be considered magnetic, but it was filled with yin and yang. Every word and pause was grasped just right, and there was a hint of majesty out of nowhere.
There was a slight noise from the rubble, and then a person suddenly jumped in through the window.
The person was wearing constable clothes with blue flowing sleeves and red patterns on the sides. He had a square face and clear contours. Who else could it be but the constable from Jiazhou City, Chenpi?
"I say, you've been chasing me all the way here. Do you think it's interesting to get injured every now and then? Do you really think you're Gray Wolf? Every time you're injured, you leave behind a message saying that you'll be back? And then, he didn't give up one after another?”Zhao Jin stopped his cultivation and stood up. He patted his pleated clothes and said with a smile.
Speaking of which, after Chen Pi was defeated by Dong Bai that night, he appeared again a day later. He claimed that he wanted to capture the two of them, but he was defeated after more than fifty rounds of blood sacrifice. Before he left, he said," I will definitely return!"”
Two days later, the lively Chen Pi appeared again, but he was severely injured by Li Zhao's 30 moves and left.
This repeated, just like Zhuge Qin and Meng Huo. He was captured and released again. Now, he had already been seriously injured five times and left. If he were to be captured and released two more times, he would really become Zhuge Qin and Meng Huo.
" I've said it before. I'm here for nothing but justice," Chen Pi said in a deep voice.
"Alright, I'll make an exception today and discuss with you. Justice? What kind of justice do you stand for?"
"A country has its laws, and a family has its rules. With this foundation, human nature is justice!”
"You mean that you must capture Brother Dong and me and pay for the life of your so-called Second Young Master Li? Is this the justice of the country? If I remember correctly, you are no longer a constable!”Zhao Jin said with a smile.
"This has nothing to do with constables!"
"Is this your so-called national law and human justice?”
"No!"
" My mother is fifty-six years old this year. She has never had a comfortable life in her life. In order for me to work in the yamen, her family's background has been exposed. But now that I have been stripped of my name by the yamen, my salary is gone," Chen Pi said in a serious tone. His expression did not change, as if he was impartial and would not change.
"Just because of this, you're willing to chase me for a thousand miles?”Zhao Jin asked.
"Almost."
"What do you mean by 'almost'?"
"It's almost the same. It can also be understood as lacking a little something else."
After interacting with him for so many days, this was the first time Zhao Jin had the urge to strangle this guy. He could either buy a piece of tofu and smash this bastard to death. Even squeezing toothpaste shouldn't be done like this. Most importantly, the toothpaste that was squeezed out was filled with countless small bubbles. It wasn't pure toothpaste at all, and it was especially difficult to speak.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
" Come in!" Zhao Jin shouted.
Then, Zhong Ling and Li Zhao walked in. When they saw Chen Pi in the room, they did not show any surprise. Instead, Zhong Ling looked at Chen Pi with a smile and said,"Ah, Brother Chen, you're here to capture Brother Dong and Brother Zhao again? But why hadn't he made a move this time? Hehe!"
As expected of Zhong Ling, who only wanted the world to be in chaos, Chen Pi actually laughed.
Li Zhao walked to Zhao Jin's side, lowered his head, and whispered a few words before standing upright at the side. Zhao Jin frowned at first, then raised his head to look at Chen Pi. He secretly revealed a strange smile in his heart.
"Chenpi, it seems like your plan to capture Brother Dong and me today has gone awry. Brother Dong has gone out. In order to prevent you from missing, how about we do a business deal? I guarantee that you'll only make a profit and not lose anything. How about it?”As Zhao Jin spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom. It was a total of ten taels of silver.
"I won't trade with you!" Chen Pi said.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse." Zhao Jin took out another ten taels of silver and placed twenty taels of silver on the table."This is just a deposit. After our deal is over, I can give you another big gift. What do you think? Yes, I've thought about it. You have to know that this transaction is equivalent to ten years of your silver. I think with this money, you can go home and let your mother live a well-fed life.”
" I have my own principles. You can ask that Dong guy to come back quickly. I want to fight with him for another 300 rounds," Chen Pi said righteously, his eyes unmoving.
Zhao Jin smiled faintly and waved his hand. Li Zhao understood what he meant and took out another silver ingot. Thirty taels of silver were placed on the table. This was definitely a huge amount of wealth for a commoner.
"I will never sell my soul for money!”Chen Pi said.
Zhao Jin remained silent. With a wave of his hand, Li Zhao took out another silver ingot. It was forty taels of silver!
"I…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Jin took out another silver ingot from Li Zhao. It was fifty taels. This time, I, who was a dried orange peel, paused. After a long time, he continued,"I told you, money can't move my heart. I'm definitely not that kind of person. Just give up. Justice can't be tarnished.。”
"Brother Chen, this is fifty taels. You are very greedy.”Zhong Ling said sweetly.
"Don't think of me as a greedy person. I'm a very, very righteous person. But if I don't go to hell, who will? Alright, I promise you. But this is just a deposit. After we're done, you'll have to give me a copy. What is it? I've already said it before. I won't do anything that goes against the morals of the martial world. I won't do anything that will endanger my life!”Chen Pi saw that Zhao Jin had Li Zhao take out another silver ingot and swallowed his words. Then, he changed the topic.
Zhao Jin smiled faintly and said," Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that someone came downstairs to cause trouble. I don't want to pay attention to them. Help me beat them back. How about it?" It won't harm your life…If your life is in danger, you can leave immediately…Of course, it would be best if you can lure them away from us for the next two days."
"Really?"
"Really!"
After saying that, Chen Pi put the silver into his pocket and strode downstairs. Li Zhao and Zhong Ling looked at each other and said,"Young Master, this…"
Downstairs.
Blood Sacrifice, Xue Cang, Luo Yun, and Luo Hai looked warily at the nearly twenty Emei Sect disciples. An old nun with a wrinkled face was sitting on an armchair with a sword in her hand. Jing Xuan and Zhi Ruo were standing to the side. Ding Minjun, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, was hiding behind them, glaring fiercely at Xue Cang and the other three.
Chen Pi glanced downstairs and jumped into the hall. He looked at the Emei Sect members and said,"Are you the ones who came to find trouble?"
Xue Cang and the others were stunned. They looked at Chen Pi. Why was it this kid? Did he come to help from his tone?
"Impudent!" "Who are you?" Jing Yi shouted. How dare you be so disrespectful to my master!"
"Who I am is none of your business. However, I was entrusted by someone. Today, I have already accepted all of your grudges.”Chen Pi crossed his arms in front of his chest and held the yamen's saber in his hand. He looked at them with an extraordinary aura, as if he did not put them in his eyes at all.
