Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 12 Wrong Door?
Luo Sigong sat on the stone bench outside the Longde Hall, silently watching the interior.
At this time, Ji Xiang was helping the brocade-clad guards in green and blue uniforms to reset their dislocated shoulders.
"Lord Zhenfu Shi, are we just waiting here? Until when?"
A Jinyi Wei approached Luo Sigong to inquire, with a very embarrassed expression. Ji Xiang's wave of his hand had just blocked everyone outside. Fortunately, they were fully armed, and in this Forbidden City, the only place where spells could be cast was this Longde Hall.
"Wait! Did you all write down what he just said?"
Luo Sigong's expression was very unsightly. At this moment, recalling the incident of Ji Xiang blocking the blade of his saber, he felt chills all over his body, and a sense of fear arose in his heart. This handsome young man in front of him was not old, but he possessed such great strength. Truly, one cannot judge a cultivator by appearances.
However, when they came earlier, they had clearly confirmed the Longde Hall Daoist's ability. He should only be at the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment stage. In fact, cultivators in the first two realms do not have much difference in physical constitution from ordinary people. After all, they are only in the initial stages of cultivation.
Luo Sigong believed that his own skills were not small. After all, he was a military scholar in the imperial examinations, but he was frightened by this little Daoist's one action. It was too embarrassing, and at the same time, it made him unable to understand.
"We have all written down what you just said."
The Jinyi Wei next to him reported to Luo Sigong.
Luo Sigong nodded, and at this point, his expression was slightly better:
"Very good, we will wait here. If no gods come to kill him, we will truthfully report back tomorrow! At that time, he will be charged with attacking the Jinyi Wei and spouting demonic nonsense, claiming that the palace is on fire, and he will be taken to the Northern Prison for punishment!"
"So what if it's Wudang? Can't there be evil people in the royal Daoist temple? Hmph! This kid is a living monster!"
"Let him be arrogant tonight. No one has ever been so rampant in front of the Jinyi Wei."
Luo Sigong said these words like a resentful woman, while some of the surrounding Jinyi Wei silently thought that there were many arrogant people. Speaking of the matter of the jiatie (imperial warrant) just now, wasn't Gao Gong so arrogant back then?
If bluffing or posturing cannot scare people, then the one who will be embarrassed is myself.
Therefore, the Jinyi Wei are not scary. What is scary is the Jinyi Wei who come with a jiatie, that is really deadly.
While saying these resentful words, Luo Sigong also remembered a sentence that Ji Xiang had just said. Especially after the confrontation just now, he now felt that Ji Xiang's sentence was the only valuable one among so much nonsense.
The Southern Prison is, after all, made up of mortals. Even if it can restrain the Northern Prison, so what? When encountering these Daoists, truly people with magic power, the methods of the Southern Prison are not very useful. Ji Xiang had not even used magic power just now, and only relied on strength to suppress him. He wondered, even if there were means to restrain the position of gods, if one's strength was not as good as others, and the other party punched him without using magic power, could he resist?
Moreover, the scope of the Southern Prison's control is too narrow, and it does not help much for his future promotion.
Entering the Northern Prison is a necessary channel for continued advancement.
At this moment, Luo Sigong secretly set a goal for himself: to enter the Northern Prison and become a god, and to have dispatched missions. This is what the Jinyi Wei should do, and it is the only way to rise to the highest position.
After all, he didn't have a beloved sister who was an imperial concubine who could help him ascend to a high position in one step, promoting him to the rank of Second Grade.
The more Luo Sigong thought about Zheng Guotai, the good-for-nothing, ordering him around, the angrier he became. He, a dignified military scholar and a Jinyi Wei who had inherited his position for generations, had to be bossed around by such a good-for-nothing, doing nothing but dirty and tiring work, and without getting any benefits!
"Lord Luo Zhenfu?"
Hearing the call, Luo Sigong turned his head and saw Ji Xiang waving at him.
After reattaching the bones for those Jinyi Wei in green uniforms, Ji Xiang saw that Luo Sigong in the courtyard had not left, and seemed to be thinking of something aggrieved. The face of the man in his thirties was twisted like the statue of a Ming King.
"What else does the Daoist Priest need?"
Luo Sigong frowned. He felt uncomfortable all over when he saw Ji Xiang now. Ji Xiang then asked very seriously:
"Did you send someone out to patrol the things I just said?"
"Things? What things?"
"Didn't I say that there might be a great flood in the palace tonight?"
"Nonsense!"
Luo Sigong was very annoyed, feeling that Ji Xiang was purely teasing him, and warned:
"Daoist Priest, don't talk nonsense anymore. We have all remembered clearly what you said. Let me tell you, if there is no fire tonight, then you can wait for the jiaties from the Northern Prison tomorrow!"
"I'm not in a hurry, but I know that you will soon enter the prison."
Luo Sigong snorted heavily, and Ji Xiang said:
"I've said so much, but you just don't believe me. Look at my incense burner... is there anything special about it?"
Luo Sigong stretched his neck, saw the corner of the incense burner, still frowning, without a trace of good temper: "What's so special about the incense burner? Are you going to say that the fire came out of the incense burner?"
He was originally saying it in anger, but he didn't expect Ji Xiang to give a thumbs up immediately:
"Aiya! You guessed right! To tell you the truth, I just killed an incense monster this morning, and that thing came out of this incense burner."
"There really is a problem in the Forbidden City!"
Luo Sigong stood up angrily, his eyes widened: "You still say it! You are still talking nonsense! You...you demonic Daoist!"
If I couldn't beat you, I would have pinned you to the ground and given you an old punch!
If I didn't have the jiatie, I would have gone out to shake people and called people from the Northern Prison to come out of the imperial city overnight and rush into the Forbidden City to deal with you!
Luo Sigong pointed at Ji Xiang, his fingers were shaking, and finally his chest heaved violently with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said loudly to the Jinyi Wei centurion next to him: "Record it, record it all for me!"
"Tomorrow morning, I will make sure he doesn't die well! This Daoist is spreading rumors to mislead the public and slandering the court!"
The Jinyi Wei centurion next to him meticulously recorded everything Ji Xiang had just said. Ji Xiang was also quite helpless, thinking whether this person was going through menopause, so after searching his memory, he said to Luo Sigong:
"Lord Zhenfu Shi, when people reach the age of thirty, they often get angry, which is caused by not being able to control the fire in the body. Under this circumstance, people's emotions will be a little out of control..."
"If you want to learn how to control your anger, I can teach you..."
Luo Sigong was extremely angry: "Daoist Priest, please give me..."
The word "gun (滾, get out)" was about to be spoken.
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded from the ground, and the courtyard door of the Longde Hall exploded with two bangs. The wood burned into a raging fire. Luo Sigong turned his head with wide eyes, only to see a figure gradually walking out of the fire door!
The Jinyi Wei all took up their weapons. The sound of swords being drawn and red sticks hitting the ground was incessant!
Luo Sigong was stunned, and Ji Xiang saw the main character coming over so arrogantly, then raised his head to look at the sky. Su Dan Novel Network
The stars in the night sky did not move at all. As expected, the national prestige was blind.
"Lord Zhenfu Shi, the god who is going to kill me has come. If you want to learn how to control your anger, I will teach you later!"
"Help me resist for a while first!"
Ji Xiang hurriedly entered the Longde Hall to get his magical artifacts, leaving only Luo Sigong standing at the door in a daze.
The fire person, who had manifested from the raging fire, was slightly stunned when he saw so many Jinyi Wei in the courtyard of the Longde Hall. He then turned his head slightly to look at the gate, which had been completely burned by the raging fire.
Did I go to the wrong door?
That's not right, how could there be so many people in the Longde Hall?
