It's time to go out for three days. Ji Jiu counted the days and felt a little hard to bear. There was a solemn coldness in the atmosphere, which was daunting. This coldness came out from nowhere, and the servants didn't know when it appeared. However, the whole mansion was cautious and did not even dare to sneeze.

As the days were coming, Ji Jiu no longer wandered around idlely, stayed in the study all day, and even the meals were sent by the servants.

The servant who walked in with the food box found that the master had nothing to do in the house. The master sitting in front of the desk held the book in his hand, and when he put the food down, the book did not turn a page. The master was in a daze. After getting this information, the servant carefully left, he ran away.

Although being dazed is not a big deal, everyone will be dazed and wandering around, it always feels particularly strange to happen to their master.

You should know that is Ji Jiu. A person who makes quick decisions and never hesitates, even if he thinks something, is limited to thinking. His face is not moving, but his eyes are bright. Now, this person is in a daze. Although he is reading a book, his eyes are dull and without any focus.

Even if he came in and quit, he didn't know.

The servant thought that the atmosphere in the mansion has been solemn in recent days, which may have caused the master to daze. Although he was curious, he did not dare to inquire about the specific matter, and he did not even dare to talk to others about the strange situation he had just discovered. The official family has the rules of the official family, which were not determined by anyone, but were naturally formed. No matter who tried to destroy it, the final outcome would be cruel.

Ji Jiu was indeed in a daze.

He held the book and sat in front of the desk for three hours. The pages had not been turned, and he had been pinned in his hand, and even the wind outside the window could not turn it. His face showed a kind of calmness and confusion.

This confusion and dullness were quickly broken.

Shen Jue rushed in quickly, ran into his study without any hello, and said to him: "Dad, I'm going to leave for a few days and go do something."

Ji Jiu recovered from his senses, moved his eyes to his face, and said with a sleepwalking expression: "Oh."

Shen Jue got the consent and was about to leave, but was called again.

Turning his face again, Ji Jiu who was sleepwalking was already missing as if he was flying. In front of him was the general with a gleam in his eyes, saying, "I'll set off tomorrow, but you're leaving now. Is the matter serious?" He didn't ask him anything, but just asked how serious he was. This person always spoke in one sentence.

Shen Jue replied: "I don't know if it's serious or not, but I can't let it go and take a look."

Ji Jiu still didn't ask much, just said, "How many days can I get back?"

"At least five days." Shen Jue estimated the journey and said, "Maybe it's ten days and half a month."

Ji Jiu calculated the speed of the troops' march and quickly said, "No matter how many days, I will go to the border town to meet. If you arrive early, you will wait. If you arrive late, I will leave someone to send you a message and come and find it yourself."

Shen Jue said "Yes", Ji Jiu said, "You go."

Shen Jue is gone.

At this time, Ji Jiu saw that the food on the table was cold and had no appetite. Now he didn't want to eat it. He just drank a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach. The wine was swam and spread rapidly in his hungry body. After a while, he felt warm and dizzy. Anyway, there was no one in the house. He took off his clothes, fell on the couch, and felt lazy all over his body. He closed his eyes and pulled his hairpin, dripping his long hair off. He casually put the hairpin aside and put the hairpin on his body, pulled the quilt on his body, and then fell asleep.

When I slept until my dream, I suddenly remembered that Chen Jue had no relatives or friends, and suddenly wanted to leave. The only reason was that something happened to Yi Mo.

This thought flashed in his mind, and Ji Jiu suddenly woke up from his dream, sat up, his heart pounding like a drum.

After lying on the table and filling a pot of cold tea, Ji Jiu calmed down and sat on the stool and thought, what did you have to do with me?

After waiting for a while, I thought, the thousand-year-old demon, Taoist monk, said that he could not kill him, so what would happen?

This thought disappeared in just a change of mind. He is a secular person and has a deep understanding of human nature. Thinking that people still have severity and strife, how can there be peace between monsters? If a person cannot kill it, his kind may not be able to kill him. What if he meets a monster who has been practicing for thousands of years? Thinking of this, Ji Jiu suddenly thought, why was he so stupid before, just thinking about finding Taoist monks to surrender him, why didn’t he fight against monsters with monsters? Maybe he would really surrender him.

Ji Jiu snorted and shook his head. Since he met this monster, his world has been completely subverted, and now such absurd thoughts have emerged. Don’t you know that a monster is so difficult to deal with. When you look for another one, he thinks that life is not messy enough? Besides, how can you meet a monster that has been practicing for thousands of years? Do you think it is a wild dog on the street and can you see it everywhere?

Ji Jiu rubbed his forehead, but his heart became upset. He didn't do anything to practice well and insisted on coming to him. Isn't it good to be able to become an immortal in the future? So what if it is a couple in his previous life? That person dies, and he dies, and unless he is resurrected, that person cannot exist again. Even if he is reincarnated, how could he be exactly the same as the disabled and lonely person since childhood? That is impossible. Ji Jiu thought.

Ji Jiu thought very clearly that his previous life was his previous life. He could ignore his reputation, not avoid ethical principles, and do whatever he wanted. In fact, what if he is a monster? So what if he is a man? Ji Jiu didn't care. He looked at it from the perspective of the sidelines, but he admired it very much, and felt that he was a hero of the times.

However, that does not mean that he must live like that in this life. He cannot live like that.

He had no choice anymore. In twenty-seven years, his road went from countless forks to this road today, and only this road was left to walk. The corner alleys that still existed when he was a teenager were left far behind by him. It was impossible for him to turn around and go on another road. Because there was no way out. He could only walk forward, climb mountains and wade straight forward, walk to the peak, and then jump off. This was his only way.

Besides, Yi Mo is Shen Qingxuan's vassal. Not Ji Jiu's.

He has a wife, a child, and a daughter. He is still young and innocent. When he dies, the only person who can claim to be a dying person is his wife, Ji Liu.

That was the woman he married to. He carried a sedan chair with hydrangea tassels and welcomed into the house. They worshiped the world, knelt down to their ancestors, and recorded them in the genealogy. In the genealogy, Ji Jiu's name was only Ji Liu, not the blank, nor the name of that person. This is a fact that there is no way to change.

Ji Jiu rubbed his forehead again, feeling the pain there was.

On the night of the second day, he led his troops to travel. Ji Jiu jumped on the horse and took the lead out of the city. When he left the city gate, he looked back and breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, without much sorrow of separation.

The Imperial City is a place full of spies and thorns. The cruelty and viciousness here are far beyond the honest life and death of the battlefield. He does not need to worry about the family affairs, everything is good, no matter whether he is there or not. As long as the emperor is willing to exist in the Ji family, even if he dies, the family will continue to operate as usual. Sadness is another matter.

The battlefield made his sentiment become weaker and weaker, and it was not an exaggeration to call him ruthless. Ji Jiu had already discovered this, but he didn't take it seriously.

He will do what he should do. Home is the place where he should protect him. He will protect him. It is enough to do his duty.

His life gradually took shape in the already planned box. The closer he was to the end, the more sharp the lines, the more concise the brushwork, showing a fierce and fierce spirit. And those tender lines were deeply hidden in his intentional or unintentionality. They hid in a place he was not very willing to find.

Bonding is a weakness. Perhaps the least needed generals on the battlefield are weaknesses.

For example, for so many years, the emperor took his family as his hostage and detained it in the royal city, and did not allow his family to accompany the army.

Ji Jiu kept his family calmly.

Because only by cutting off all concerns can he die calmly.

Only when he dies can his family be truly safe. No matter where he lives, it is safe.

Ji Jiu raised his whip and whipped it lightly. The horse under him who had been with him for many years neighed and immediately ran, carrying the general who could finally run, quickly disappeared into the night with the joy of finally being able to run.

The horse team behind also followed, galloping. Under the cover of night, the men who were going to investigate in foreign lands disappeared behind the city gate like the wind.

After leaving the imperial city, he ran until dawn. Ji Jiushi stopped, and changed his clothes in the village he had prepared before, pretended to be a traveler, and carried the horses on cargo, and ordered five hundred people to be divided into five teams to go to the border town from different routes. He did not want to appear too suddenly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the spies.

He was prepared for these things and quickly took care of everything and ordered people to disperse them.

He rushed to the border for another half a month. The two teams who arrived first had already received his instructions before. After entering the city, they spread out everywhere and sold goods everywhere, which was no different from ordinary business trips.

When Ji Jiu's team came, they also dispersed. Ji Jiu, who had only five people around him, met Shen Jue in the city.

Shen Jue was carrying a large wooden box. The huge wooden box was twisted into two ropes with cloth on both sides, and tied it firmly to his shoulders. When Ji Jiu saw him, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "What kind of goods is this young master? Maybe let me see?"

Shen Jue was stunned, subconsciously covering the box with his backhand, instinctively showing a defensive and protective posture. An obvious rejection.

Ji Jiu was stunned. After all, this was the first time Shen Jue showed this expression to his words, and immediately felt strange.

But nothing appeared on his face, and he still smiled faintly, saying, "It seems that the young master is very precious. If there is priceless goods, he can't afford it, so he can bother me." He said that, bowed his hand and took the horse away.

Although he didn't say anything, Shen Jue felt a little unhappy. He untied the box behind him and hugged him. After holding him steadily, Shen Jue murmured: "He is not a product, why should I estimate the price for you?" Because his father was unhappy, Shen Jue followed Ji Jiu's caravan with a little frustration and walked slowly.

In the evening, Ji Jiu called him to have a meal. Seeing that the man brought the box again and placed it on a stool beside him, he didn't relax his guarding of the box even more curious.

There were many people who were curious about him, all of whom were soldiers who took this mission with Ji Jiu. Because Shen Jue was Ji Jiu's guard, the officer was older than them, so it was difficult to speak casually. He just couldn't help but glance at the corners of his eyes. His eyes were mysterious and occasionally whispered. His posture was actually normal, but in Shen Jue's eyes, he was sneaky.

Finally, when someone tried to reach out to touch the box, Chen Jue's displeasure burst out. He slapped the chopsticks on the table and said coldly: "If you touch me, I will chop your hand, believe it or not?"

What he said was really fierce and had a three-point arrogant aura. The sergeant who made the move was also angry and immediately replied: "How about touching it? Is it broken?"

Chen Jue lowered his face, "If you are not afraid of death, just touch it."

The words were so exciting that they could no longer say anything. The man stretched out his hand and was about to touch it. Chen Jue grabbed his hand and tightened it tightly. The "crackling" sound of his knuckles immediately sounded in the room. The man hurriedly shouted to Ji Jiu: "Sir!"

At this time, Ji Jiu kept eating with her head down, as if she had seen nothing. Until the man called for help, he raised his face and asked, "Call me?"

The man was sweating coldly on his forehead, and Chen Jue also looked at him, but did not let go. The rest of the soldiers also looked at Ji Jiu.

Ji Jiu put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, then said lightly: "Is there an adult here?" he asked.

His tone was extremely gentle, as if he was murmur from the innocent person involved in the incident, but his eyes were cold, sweeping towards the two of them like a blade, and the sword was bleeding.

Chen Jue immediately let go of his hand, as if he had practiced many times, bent his knees down, raised his head and said loudly, "I am rude, please punish me."

His transformation was too fast, and the sergeant with dislocated wrist bone was stunned. After meeting Ji Jiu's sight last time, he shivered and knelt down.

Ji Jiu looked at them for a while, picked up the dishes again, took a few more bites, and then said, "Don't move if you are not taught by your parents? If you are not allowed to do anything, you should be punished if you are not allowed." He also said, "In the army, no matter how big the matter is, you are all brothers in the robe. How can you fight? If you encounter an enemy in the future, the only one who can save you is your companions. Don't think that if you are powerful, you can hurt others. You can only hurt yourself."

Ji Jiu said: "Did you understand?"

The two people kneeling on one knee agreed at the same time: "I understand."

Ji Jiu said, "Check the bones and eat."

Chen Jue took the dislocated bones for the man, sat back, and honestly lowered his head to continue eating. The rest of the people became honest and did not look at the wooden box. The meal was very quiet.

Ji Jiu was very satisfied.

After dinner, Ji Jiu finished his work and called Chen Jue in. Chen Jue, who was guarding the door, came in with a box on his back and asked, "What's the matter with General?"

Ji Jiu said: "Open that thing."

Chen Jue said without thinking: "No!"

Ji Jiu said: "No matter what kind of goods it is, I can be sure that the caravan can protect it at present. If you carry it on your back every day, you can only attract sight and covet it. Or you can turn it on and let me see it. Unless I am sure it cannot be placed on the hunchback and escorted with the goods, you will tie it to the hunchback tomorrow."

Chen Jue hesitated for a long time before saying, "Dad, this is really not a product."

Ji Jiu said "Oh" and said, "It's not a living person."

"Dad, you must have guessed it," Chen Jue looked bitter, "Anyway, he is not a living person."

Ji Jiu didn't know what he thought of, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said to himself: "I guessed it, but I guessed it wrong."

As he said this, he walked over, untied the rope buckle on Chen Jue's back with his own hands, and carried the big wooden box to the table. He took it by himself. Even though Chen Jue hesitated, he still compromised. He obediently watched the box being placed on the table, and then watched his father take a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suddenly opened it...

Chen Jue also held his breath at the same time and looked at Ji Jiu's face carefully. Ji Jiu slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and looked at the wooden box with a large black snake as thick as a bowl in the box, lying in it, with his head hanging down and his eyes closed.

Ji Jiu closed her eyes again fiercely.

Chen Jue was frightened by his actions and hurriedly wanted to cover the box and no longer let him see it. He just said he was shocked. While he was busy, he heard the man's voice tremblingly ask him: "Is he dead?"

Chen Jue was stunned, "Ah?"

Ji Jiu said: "How did you die?"
