The ninth princess of the Plentiful Treasures Kingdom, the Buyi people, was known as Wu Chijin's number one fan. Her admiration and admiration for Wu Chijin was known to all. This time, she had followed her brother, Young Lord Youyan, to the Crescent Country to attend the Dharma Birth Ceremony. However, they had encountered a series of unexpected incidents. Young Lord Youyan was concerned about the safety of the Buyi people. Regardless of her resolute opposition, before he entered the Crescent Country, he had the master of the Buyi people, who was also the accompanying guard, She Tu, forcefully escort her back to the Plentiful Treasures Kingdom.
Although the people of Buyi were extremely unwilling, she didn't dare to go against Young Lord Yan's request in front of her most respected elder brother. She could only return to the Plenti-Treasure Kingdom unwillingly.
However, not long after she returned to the country, she heard that the Crescent Country had summoned all the other countries in the mountains to send troops to fight against the Black Mountain Seal. Other than urging the Plenty of Treasures Country to send troops to help, the Buyi people also asked their father, the King of Kun Quan, to lead the army. After leaving the Crescent Country for a few days, they returned to the foot of the Crescent Mountain.
At this moment, the Buyi people were fighting with people in the tea house of King Baishou City. It turned out that she had heard someone in the teahouse describing the death of Yue Qingqiu. Everyone was very interested in this sensitive topic, but there was no effective source of information. Therefore, there was no basis for identifying the rumors circulating in the streets. They could only rely on hearsay.
Although the Buyi people were inevitably a little willful, they were still well-read and dignified princesses of a country. They had the necessary upbringing and bearing. If this vivid scene was only limited to the death of Yue Qingqiu, it would not have caused the Buyi people to lose control and attack in public. It was mainly because they heard someone slandering Wu Chijin that they were completely enraged.
The reason for this was because a handsome young man in the teahouse asked the middle-aged man at the same table," Brother, do you think that this Yue Qingqiu, as the master of the Sky-raising Pavilion in the Crescent Country, could not even escape?”
The middle-aged man replied," You don't know this. There are thousands of blue-clothed soldiers hidden in the Black Mountain Seal. Behind them are the White-Spirit Carriage, Midnight Song, and Asura Manor. Pavilion Master Le fought against the demons alone and killed countless demons. She killed so many enemies that she couldn't even raise her hand. That was when she exhausted all her strength.”
"Aren't you making things up? How did you know about what happened in the Black Mountain Seal?”The young man questioned him nonchalantly.
"You might not know this, but once Le Qingqiu died, the Blue Clothed Army carried his corpse to the Crescent Country to demonstrate their might. Otherwise, who would have known that Le Qingqiu was dead? My friend is the coroner of the Crescent Country. He heard the whole process from the Blue Cloak Army. How could I not know?”The middle-aged man said proudly.
"You're making things up. Even if it was the blue-clothed army who said it, how could they say that Le Qingqiu had single-handedly defeated 3,000 soldiers of the blue-clothed army? Wasn't this just smearing their own faces?”The young man asked doubtfully.
"That was my friend who said it proudly. One must know that they had spent a lot of effort to kill Yue Qingqiu. Although my friend didn't make the first contribution, he still received a lot of rewards. Moreover, the higher they praised Yue Qingqiu, the more they were praising themselves. It was not embarrassing. More importantly, with Yue Qingqiu's death, the Crescent Country no longer had anyone to lead the army to war. How could the Blue Troop not be proud?”The skinny middle-aged man vividly recounted the story as if he had heard it himself.
"How can I? Who didn't know that the real leader of the Crescent Country was Wu Chijin? Or else, there was still the number one expert of the Crescent Country, Nian Yongjun. How could there be no one to lead the army?”The young man continued to ask.
"It's fine if you say that this year is Yongjun, but that Wu Chijin is just a villain fishing for fame. If he was so capable, would this situation be like this now? Not to mention his half-baked martial arts. Let me tell you, even I have the confidence to defeat him. How can such a person suppress the 5,000 Crescent Army? As for Nian Yongjun, he was good at martial arts. Everyone in the Mountain Country agreed with this. However, because of his good martial arts, he was the only one left in the Crescent Country. What was even more tragic was that he had become the private bodyguard of the welfare student of the country's ruler. The welfare student pinned him on his pants all day long. How could he dare to let him leave and lead the army?”When the middle-aged man said this, everyone laughed awkwardly. It turned out that this song had already attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse.
One of the Bai Zu warriors asked,"Aren't there many experts in the Crescent Moon Country?" How did she get Nian Yongjun to be a welfare student's bodyguard?”
"Three months ago, there were indeed many experts, but those experts were all in the Crescent Army. Now, they are not all in the Longevity Country. They can't go back even if they want to. The entire Crescent Country is empty now. Tell me, can this welfare student not dominate him?”The middle-aged man was right. The welfare student had indeed asked Le Qingqiu to bring out all the experts. At this moment, other than the civil officials, there were only the old, weak, women, and children left in the Crescent Country.
Another warrior from Jiuquan asked,"Didn't I hear that Fu Lisheng appointed Deputy General Du Jing to take charge of the military?"”
"That's just a rumor. Du Jing has been squatting in the country of Baishou like you and me for the past three months. He can't even kowtow to the welfare students. How can the welfare students appoint him? This was most likely because Du Jing was afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken, so he helped the self-promoted official and then let people spread the news.”The first half of the middle-aged skinny man's words were true, but the second half seemed to be killing people.
The warrior from Jiuquan asked,"Didn't they say that Wu Chijin would come to Baishou Country on the 15th to convey the message that the welfare student would be promoted to the Lord of Qingtian Pavilion?"”
"So there really are people who believe this? Even Yue Qingqiu had died tragically in the Black Mountain Seal. How could Wu Chijin, whose martial arts skills were far inferior to Yue Qingqiu's, come out and pass down the order? If Wu Chijin could come out, then the 5,000 Crescent Army would definitely be able to enter as well. Therefore, this was also a rumor.
Although Wu Chijin was a little clever, he had relied on his identity as the beloved disciple of Spirit Snake Mountain Master to sit on the position of the Pavilion Master of the Shu Li Pavilion. Then, he used his power to deal with some miscellaneous matters in the various countries of the myriad mountains. If it was a tough dish like the confrontation between two armies, it was probably not his turn. Think about it, these past few decades have been peaceful for the countries in the mountains. He was just hiding in the peaceful times to fish for fame.”The middle-aged skinny man was addicted to blackening the dark red gold. The more he spoke, the more he became addicted to it. He said it twice in a row to fish for fame.
All the countries in the mountains had been praising the legends of Wu Chijin for decades. When had they ever heard such fresh and interesting criticism? Therefore, everyone was adding fuel to the fire, making sarcastic remarks and teasing.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky. A long whip lashed out from the black shadow and struck the table in front of the middle-aged skinny man with a thunderous force. In an instant, the table was cleanly split into two halves, giving the surrounding crowd a huge fright.
" How dare you rat! Where did you come up with these lies? Pavilion Master Wu isn't someone you can talk to. If you say another word, this whip won't be on the table, but on your head.”This black shadow that descended from the sky was a Buyi person. She was originally sitting in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse. As she listened to this middle-aged skinny man, she became more and more uncertain. In the end, she could not hold back her temper.
When everyone saw that this shocking whip was actually from the hands of a beautiful woman, they naturally whispered to each other and discussed non-stop. The middle-aged skinny man took a breath and pointed at the Buyi people. Then tell me, what is the truth? Was Wu Chijin kicked out by welfare students? Had Wu Chijin been hiding during this period of time? If he really had the ability, would he be able to kill Le Qingqiu? Letting the Crescent Army wander around here for three months? To let hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the allied army blindly speculate? Let me gossip here? After settling so many things, he could only hide and wait for the limelight to subside before coming out to play.
Let me tell you, everything I say is reasonable and well-founded. It's all told to me by people who know the truth. Otherwise, if I dared to speak nonsense in this place, those thousands of Crescent Army soldiers would definitely strike me to death!!”
The Buyi people became even more furious when they heard this. The long whip in their hands was like a storm as they swung it at the middle-aged skinny man. Although the Buyi people looked like delicate beauties, they did not hesitate when they attacked. This round of fierce attacks forced the middle-aged skinny man to roll and crawl under the table. There was almost no way for him to escape.
Just as the Buyi people's long whip was about to hit the middle-aged man's head, the young man who had been talking to the middle-aged man at the beginning grabbed the whip and said,"Where did this shrew come from? She attacked without reason. Are you the only one who knows martial arts?"”
When the attendants behind the Buyi people saw that someone was attacking the princess, they immediately pointed their swords at the young man from all directions to force him to let go. Who knew that the young man would hold a long whip in one hand and a teacup in the other to deflect the sharp swords pointed at him from all directions.
The Buyi man saw that the whip was being held by the young man and was anxious to get rid of his grip. He used his inner strength to shake off the young man's hand. Who knew that the young man's grip was so strong that the Buyi man's strength made him rise into the air and pounce towards the young man. At this moment, if he did not abandon the whip in time, his body would hit the young man.
At this moment, the Buyi woman's long whip suddenly broke in the middle. She lost control for a moment and was thrown towards the private room on the second floor. However, she returned to her original position. Although the young man had lost the strong pulling force of the long whip, he did not move at all. He continued to use his teacup to fiddle with the sharp sword that was still circling around him.
Everyone looked upstairs and saw an old man asking if the Buyi people were alright. It turned out that the old man was She Tu. Since the King of the Abundant Treasures Nation could not stop the Buyi people, he had to ask She Tu to follow and protect them.
She Cha whispered to the Buyi man,"I've met an expert. This person's martial arts is far better than mine. Don't compete with him."”
Then, he said to the few guards who were still struggling,"You can all retreat."”
Seeing this, the young man smiled at She Tu and said,"Old sir, discipline your granddaughter well. She's so rude and reckless. I'm afraid she'll suffer a great loss in the future."”
Then he said to the middle-aged man,"Brother, let's change places to talk, lest you get beaten up again. I'm not happy listening to you."”
It turned out that the middle-aged skinny man and the young man were disguised by the dark red gold and Liang Feng. In order to achieve what Luo Xiaoyuan said, he decided to destroy Wu Chijin's personality and make him a lonely ghost that everyone despised. At the same time, he would make the countries in the mountains give up on the military alliance and make the 5,000-strong Crescent Army truly a lone army. In this way, Wu Chijin and the 5,000-strong Crescent Army would become delicious food in the eyes of the enemy.
After leaving the teahouse, Wu Chijin's next destination was the restaurant. From now until midnight, he could still go to a few places to slander him. He had to make good use of this time and push himself to the forefront of the storm. Tonight, he would be despised by tens of thousands of people in a public place and push himself to the end of his rope.
Wealthy Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the country of Longevity. This was Wu Chijin's main focus today. However, he had already taken the best position to ensure that Wu Chijin and Liang Feng could attract the attention of the entire restaurant as soon as they opened their mouths.
The biggest difference between the Wealthy Restaurant and the tea house was that the guests of the former were all high-ranking generals of the Myriad Mountain Coalition Army, while the customers of the latter were ordinary soldiers. Therefore, Wu Chijin specially prepared a script for these generals who could reach the heavens.
Wu Chijin and Liang Feng walked into the restaurant and sat down. Then, they shouted for the restaurant owner to quickly hand over the food and wine. They kept shouting that if they didn't make it in time for tonight's event, they would come back and tear down the restaurant. The shop owner was already used to these evil rich people. There was no urgent matter. They just wanted to be quick and threaten the shop owner to serve them well. They already knew how to deal with these people.
The shop owner went up with a smile and said,"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Where did you come from?"”
Wu Chijin didn't even look at the shopkeeper and said arrogantly,"Are you the one who asked about my identity?" Hurry up and bring the wine and dishes."
The shop owner still smiled and said,"Of course, I don't dare to ask, I don't dare to ask." Is this lord going to welcome the Master of the Golden Crow Pavilion tonight? Look at all the customers in our restaurant. Everyone is going to welcome Pavilion Master Wu tonight.”
The innkeeper thought that the biggest event in the entire country of Longevity today was to welcome Wu Chijin of the Crescent Country in the middle of the night. Everyone in the restaurant had the same goal, so he wanted to use this to dampen his spirit and stop being arrogant.
When Wu Chijin heard the shopkeeper's reply, he was extremely happy. This gave him a good opening to slander him. He said,"Welcome Wu Chijin?" Let me tell you, they are here to welcome Wu Chijin, I am here to punish Wu Chijin. So many things had happened in the Crescent Country. Where had this guy gone to hide? The welfare student was furious at him. If he wasn't cousins with the welfare student, he would have killed him long ago. A few days ago, the welfare student begged me to go to the Crescent Country to discuss important matters. When he heard that Wu Chijin was coming to the Hundred Lives Country on the 15th of February to swindle, he urgently asked me to come over to punish him.”
Wu Chijin's shout attracted the attention of all the guests in the restaurant, but the difference was that no one in the restaurant took his words seriously. Everyone knew that no one had a way to enter the Black Mountain Seal, but this person said that he had gone to the Crescent Country a few days ago to discuss important matters. Today, he had rushed down the mountain to pass down the order to punish Wu Chijin. Since it was so easy to go up and down the mountain, did the 170,000 allied troops gather here to hold a celebration banquet? Not to mention the welfare student, who was a cautious person. Why would he find such a noisy person to pass on the order?
At this time, a deputy general of the Kun Peng Kingdom opened his mouth and asked,"What's the name of this gentleman?" I'm Ji Yunpeng, the deputy general of the Kun Peng Kingdom. You just said that you just came down from the Crescent Country. I want to ask you about something.”
"Mian Gui, surname Hei. What do you want to ask?" Wu Chijin changed his surname to Black and prepared to make a good self-deprecation.
"It's like this. Our country's young master, Prince Xingyue, has stayed in the Crescent Country for a long time. I wonder if Mr. Black has seen him in the Crescent Country? What's the situation now?" Although Ji Yunpeng knew that this skinny man was full of lies, he still wanted to test his mouth. Perhaps he might be able to get some information about the young master.
"It's the Star-Moon Prince. Coincidentally, I was at the same table as the Star-Moon Prince at the dinner party last night. We even chatted for quite some time.”Wu Chijin deliberately played to his liking and wanted to use this to gain his trust, so he continued," He's doing very well in the Crescent Country. I don't know where he heard that I'm proficient in divination, so he insisted on asking me for advice. I saw that his attitude was sincere, so I casually gave him a few pointers.”
This sentence made Ji Yunpeng's heart skip a beat. It turned out that Prince Starmoon was indeed keen on divination some time ago. Other than the few people close to him, no one else knew anything about this matter. Now that he heard this person say it, it seemed a little credible, so he continued to ask,"May I ask Mr. Black again, how is my country's young master?"”
"What's wrong with teenagers? They eat well and sleep well. It's just that they're so young, so why are they so afraid of the cold? Even for a meal, he had to wear a tight fur coat like an old man. However, his alcohol tolerance isn't bad. He can keep up with all of them and isn't inferior to me at all.”
Ji Yunpeng listened to him describe the characteristics of Prince Xingyue and believed him even more. He tried to go further and said,"From what you said just now, you can enter and leave the Crescent Country at will. I believe that the Black Mountain Seal can't trap you. I would like to ask you to lead me through the Black Mountain Seal and welcome Prince Xingyue down the mountain. The Kun Peng Kingdom is willing to pay any price."”
"What about you? It didn't work. " Your kung fu is too weak. Even if you enter, you won't be able to hide from the thousands of blue-clothed soldiers inside, let alone the seal. I can't protect you. Look at how powerful Yue Qingqiu's kung fu is. He was able to enter the seal of the Black Mountain, but he couldn't hide from the blue-clothed soldiers inside.
Let me put it this way. With my martial arts, I can barely enter and leave the Black Mountain Seal. I definitely can't bring anyone along. If you help me pass on the message, I might be able to give it a try.”Wu Chijin was bluffing.
"That's fine too. I wonder how to pass it on?" Ji Yunpeng asked.
"You're really interesting. Isn't passing on a message just telling me what you want to pass on, and I'll pass on your words to the person you want to pass on?”Wu Chijin was deliberately trying to bait Ji Yunpeng.
"That's right, that's right. I misspoke. What I want to ask is, what is the price for Mr. Black to help pass on the message?”Ji Yunpeng thought to himself that money could make the world go round, especially for people like these who had greasy mouths. Most of them were people who liked to make money by using the words of gods and ghosts. As long as they were willing to spend money, there was nothing that could not be done.
Wu Chijin deliberately widened his eyes and stared at Ji Yunpeng, saying,"The price?" What was the price for passing on a message? Who do you think I am? Even the welfare student of the Crescent Moon Country treated me as a guest of honor, and you actually want to talk about the price with me? Forget it. If you have something to say, pass it on yourself. Don't embarrass me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chijin continued to chat with Liang Feng without turning his head." Let me tell you again. Not only were the welfare students unhappy with Wu Chijin, but Yongjun was also very dissatisfied with him. Yongjun was not only one of the three Pavilion Masters, but he was also the number one expert in the Crescent Country. How could he not be comparable to Wu Chijin? Why should he let Wu Chijin steal the limelight in all the countries in the mountains?”
"Brother Black, you really don't have to say that. Everyone knows Wu Chijin's schemes and methods. Who hasn't experienced it in the countries of the mountains? As for how high Yongjun's martial arts were that year, has anyone fought with him? It's just what people say, right?" Liang Feng followed Wu Chijin's words.
" Wu Chijin, don't forget that the position of the Shuli Pavilion Master was given to him by the old king of the Crescent Country. Now, it's given to him by a welfare student. Most of the countries in the mountains respect him because of his status. If he didn't have this status, he would have to call me Teacher Hei when he sees me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I'll pass down the welfare student's order in front of him. See if Wu Chijin dares to reply to me with half a sentence.”The more Wu Chijin spoke, the more serious it became, and the more the guests listened, the more interested they became.
At this moment, a protocol official from the Leng Chuan Country walked over and asked,"Mr. Hei, I'm Zhou Tonghai from the Leng Chuan Country." He wanted to ask if Wu Chijin's appearance in Baishou Country tonight was not instructed by the welfare students? If it wasn't for the welfare student's suggestion, how could Wu Chijin let Du Jing take over as the pavilion master of the Towering Sky Pavilion in the Crescent Country? What could Du Jing use to command the 170,000-man alliance army?”
When Wu Chijin heard Zhou Tonghai's words, he slammed the table in front of him hard. He stood up and said loudly," Brother, you've hit the nail on the head. The welfare student is furious because he didn't say anything. What right does Wu Chijin have to make the decision to come to Baishou Country and pass down the royal order?" Was Wu Chijin rebelling? That's why the welfare student specially asked me to punish Wu Chijin on his behalf.”
When the welfare student suspected that Wu Chijin was going to rebel, everyone in the restaurant boiled over. The welfare student didn't have a single soldier at the moment. If Wu Chijin shouted from the top, it was possible that the 5,000 Crescent Army would obey him.
Zhou Tonghai continued to ask,"Mr. Hei, in that case, you want to talk about Wu Chijin's crime today. Is it the crime of deceiving the emperor and betraying the country?"”
Wu Chijin looked into Zhou Tonghai's eyes, and his mind quickly recalled all the things that had happened in the Lengchuan Country and his past impression of Zhou Tonghai. He had a rough idea of what to do with him, and then he said," I have to see Wu Chijin personally before deciding how to punish him. I can't tell you." Anyway, I'm just afraid that he won't come. Once he comes, he will know my methods.”
Following that, everyone continued to ask questions one after another. Wu Chijin continued to slander himself, instantly causing the entire restaurant to fall into a chaotic situation of rumors and rumors flying together, truth and illusion reconciling.
At this moment, Buyi, who was hiding behind the wall of the restaurant, was trembling with anger. Although her master, She Tu, had stopped her from continuing to pester him, the Buyi people would not let go of someone who had maliciously hurt Wu Chijin. Thus, they secretly sent people to continue following him and immediately reported back to him once they had any information.
Who would have thought that after following him, he would discover that not only did this fellow keep slandering Wu Chijin, but his words were also inconsistent. If he had not heard it in two places, he would have found it hard to believe that these two statements came from the same person.
Although the way of speaking was different, no matter which way it was said, it was unbearable for the Buyi people. Seeing that the fellow was very popular in the restaurant, everyone was even more interested in such gossip. Not only did they compete to whisper to each other, but they also constantly added oil and vinegar. If this continued, Wu Chijin would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The Buyi people immediately calculated how to shut this guy's mouth. She sent people to dispatch soldiers and horses to block the front and back of the restaurant. They were waiting for the guy to change places to spread rumors. When there was no one around, they immediately took action to clean up.
As expected, not long after, the group of people who spread the rumors got up and prepared to leave. The Buyi people immediately used their eyes to instruct their subordinates to follow. As soon as they were alone, they would immediately go up and give them a good beating.
