Chapter 16 The Eight Gentlemen
Thinking of this, Ji Boyi's face suddenly turned ugly. If something happened to Ji Borou, Ji Changchang would never give him a good look.
"Where's my little sister, how is she?"
Fortunately, Cheng Fu's answer reassured him a little.
"A Song sent me a souvenir from the lady, saying that I have something to do today and I'm afraid I'll be back later."
"Let's go back."
Feeling that things were getting more and more complicated, Ji Game also cheered up his spirits at this time. Now that Lieshan was seriously injured, he had to step up and clean up the mess.
Cheng Fu didn't come alone. Knowing that Ji Boyi was injured, he asked a clerk to drive a carriage. Ji Boyi didn't delay much and got up immediately. The longer his injury was delayed, the more serious it became.
The carriage kept bumping along the way. After Cheng Fu took Ji Boyi's pulse, he never relaxed his brows. He pressed Ji Boyi's chest with his right hand and injected a gentle and mellow energy into the two suppressing channels.
The sinister cold air. At the same time, Ji Game's own true energy was also blocked in his Dantian.
"Master Yi, the old man is now using his Changchun Qi to block the two cold air. However, the properties of this cold air are weird. In a short period of time, it has merged with part of the young master's own blood and Qi. It cannot be driven away by conventional means. Now
Only this method can prevent it from growing."
Feeling that his meridians were empty and his whole body was weak, Ji Boyi smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"I understand, Uncle Cheng, you are an expert in the apricot forest. This is definitely the best way to do this to me. I believe you."
After hearing Ji Boyi's words, Cheng Fu frowned even more tightly, and a slight sigh came from the carriage.
Although he did not say the following words, with Ji Yi's intelligence, he must have thought of it. If he had not found a way to expel the cold air before his infuriating blockade expired, then he would have to waste his power and merge with the cold air.
Cut off part of the qi, blood and true qi to save a life.
In Chixian Shenzhou, although the status of aristocratic families and civilians is very different, among aristocratic families, they have to constantly compete for status, resources and rights. The basis for the competition is their own force and intelligence.
In the final analysis, strength is still the most important thing in this world. As long as you are strong enough, even if you are an idiot, someone will treat you like an uncle. But if you don’t have martial arts, even if you are extremely intelligent, you will only be able to do things for others for the rest of your life.
The material to start with. With Ji Yi's pride, how could he give up his skills? If he really did this, then he would really have no status in the Ji family, and he might not even be as good as a commoner.
With Cheng Fu's face full of sorrow, Ji Boyi came to the Ji family's base camp in Jiangdu City.
The Ji family's property in Jiangdu City is divided into two parts, the pharmacy and the medical center and the weapons ore. Originally, these two parts were managed by Cheng Fu and Hou Lu respectively, but since Lieshan came, the two of them have been idle.
"Junchen Pavilion" is the main store of the drugstore, which means "the king and his ministers complement each other". It is one of the largest drugstores in the entire Jiangdu City. When you step out of the carriage, you will see the three-story landmark building, Ji Boyi and Cheng Fu.
Without disturbing anyone, he entered through the back door.
Behind the "Junchen Pavilion" is a clean and spacious courtyard, where nearly half of the Ji family's people in Jiangdu City live.
"Master Yi, you are here."
Although Ji Boyi didn't come often, everyone present knew him as the nominal leader, and no one dared to criticize him. Even Lieshan's subordinates reluctantly saluted him.
"Take me to see Butler Lie."
After Ji Boyi finished speaking, Cheng Fu led the way. In the largest room in the center, he saw Lieshan. He saw that Lieshan, who was originally high-spirited and full of red eyes, was now pale and withered, looking like he was terminally ill.
.
"Uncle Cheng, how is Butler Lie's injury? When will he wake up?"
After listening to Ji Boyi's caring question, a strange color flashed in Cheng Fu's eyes, and he answered honestly: "Butler Lie lost too much blood, lacked energy and blood in his body, and half of the bones in his body were shattered.
He has lost all his energy and can only rely on his own perseverance to wake up."
"Hey, who is so cruel?"
After Ji Boyi heard this, he had a look of hatred on his face and slapped the table next to him. But he forgot that he couldn't use his true energy now. He couldn't smash the table to show his resentment. Instead, he slapped it with a loud sound.
Later, I felt severe pain in my hand bones.
However, when it comes to acting to win people's hearts, Ji Boyi is very good at it. He immediately affected his own injuries and spit out a mouthful of blood to show that it was not easy for him.
"Master Yi, don't be angry. You were ambushed today and your injuries are serious. If you don't take a good rest, you may become ill."
Cheng Fu cooperated very anxiously, and Ji Boyi couldn't help but admire him in his heart. After a textbook conversation and acting, Lieshan's men's favorability towards the young master Ji Boyi immediately rose from "hostile" to "still good".
"can" level.
"Steward Lie must be avenged. Uncle Cheng, send all the people below to find out the news. Let me find out what happened to Steward Lie today?"
Lieshan was in a coma. Now of course Ji Boyi was in charge of the Ji family. He issued orders and no one disobeyed them. Even Lieshan's subordinates accepted the orders happily. They were the ones who wanted to avenge Lieshan the most.
"By the way, Uncle Cheng, bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I will write a letter to my father in person, telling him about the situation here and asking him for instructions on what to do next."
Considering that there must be Ji Changchang's eyeliner below, Ji Boyi put on a complete show. He kept his posture extremely low, and Lieshan's serious injury made his plan take a big step forward in an instant, but the foundation was unstable.
, it takes more time to consolidate, and all of this requires Ji Changchang's acquiescence, or at least no objection.
After Ji Boyi told the matter, he asked Cheng Fu to send a message to Hou Lu who had left Jiangdu City, asking him to rush back at full speed. Even Lieshan was injured, and Ji Boyi felt that the power around him was not enough. Cheng Fu alone
One person, when the other person comes, it’s really not enough to see.
In this way, Ji Game cleaned up the mess left after Lieshan was seriously injured in this courtyard. In just one afternoon, everyone was convinced by the grace and talent he displayed.
The news that Lieshan, the chief steward of the Ji family in Jiangdu City, was seriously injured and unconscious could not be concealed at all. Many people were waiting to see the joke. If possible, they would annex the Ji family's property in Jiangdu City.
However, under the auspices of Ji Boyi, the two shops "Junchen Pavilion" and "Tianshi Pu" did not panic at all. In the evening, when some people were preparing to test, Hou Lu came back.
In the past, when Lieshan didn't come, Cheng Fu and Hou Lu were able to suppress the situation. Naturally, it's not that bad now, but it's just back to the past.
But during the Youshi period, Ji Game was inevitably a little anxious because Ji Borou hadn't come back yet.
"Master Yi, we found her. The lady is at the Magpie Bridge with a man."
At this time, a middle-aged man, sweating profusely, walked in and reported to Ji Boyi. After listening, both Cheng Fu and Hou Lu looked a little ugly. A girl didn't go home at night.
, and it was with a strange man. If word spread, the reputation would definitely not be good.
"Let's go, I want to see who this man is, how he can charm this little girl so much."
Although Ji Boyi spoke in a calm tone, everyone could hear the anger contained in it. Considering safety issues, both Cheng Fu and Hou Lu followed him. Following Lieshan's example, they did not dare to let Ji Boyi go.
Going out alone.
Magpie Bridge is a very famous scenic spot in Jiangdu City. A tributary of the Qinghe River runs through Jiangdu City. There are countless bridges on it. Magpie Bridge is the most famous among them. On both sides of the bridge, it is the favorite place for literati to gather.
There are shops selling music, chess, calligraphy and painting, pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The most famous one is the poetry couplets between the scholars and ladies.
By the time Ji Boyi arrived, the sky had completely darkened, but on both sides of the Magpie Bridge, countless lanterns were lit, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime. Looking up, I saw a full moon hanging high in the dim sky.
The soft and quiet moonlight fell, making Ji Game suddenly realize.
"It turns out today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
He sighed in his heart and unknowingly stirred up his thoughts. But just when Cheng Fu was worried, Ji Boyi had already put away his distracting thoughts. At his position, he no longer had time to spend money on such things.
For his own sake, or for the interests of the team that stands with him, he must keep moving forward and climbing to the top.
Among them, Ji Borou is an absolutely indispensable bargaining chip for him.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, countless scholars, talented people and beauties met at Magpie Bridge today, hooking up with each other openly. At least Ji Boyi took a glance and saw many people from Beidou Star Academy flirting with some good-looking women with playful smiles.
On the river, countless lanterns flowed continuously with the water, and lonely men and women waited for the arrival of the lanterns on the bank one after another.
On the stone bridge in the middle that connects the two sides, there are exquisite lanterns hanging one after another. A young man wearing a green shirt stood on it, picked up a lantern, and read out the riddle on it aloud.
"This is Miss Qin Fanghua's lantern. It's a crossword puzzle. Please listen carefully."
After Mr. Qingshan finished speaking, everyone present was a little shocked. Qin Fanghua's famous name Ji Game had also been heard of, and she was also a famous beauty in Jiangdu City.
"The question is very simple, it is three words, Eight Gentlemen. Friends who know it, please speak it out loud. If the answer is correct, this lantern will be yours."
