Beside the bonfire, the wine jar is empty.

The two jars of wine that Yunji took out were very powerful. Although they were not spiritual wines, they were much more precious than ordinary fine wines.

After all, it was the kind of wine drunk by a foundation-building cultivator like Xu Aogu, which was rare for ordinary people to see.

When I was slightly tipsy, someone sang songs from my hometown.

The mercenaries sang in harmony one after another, their voices loud and clear, and they sang a little tune with a desolate flavor like a war song.

Yun Ji tasted the wine and listened silently.

He could hear that there was a deep sense of unwillingness in the singing.

"The fierce generals removed their armor and the fierce soldiers returned to their fields. Now Jiyun can still defend the territory." Yun Ji said softly.

"Boundary...Does Jiyun still have a boundary?" Granny Yu said sadly.

Ever since the king of the country killed the Yu family, in the eyes of Granny Yu, Jiyun has become a place of absurdity, ignorance and chaos with no boundaries.

"As long as the general is here, Dongshan City will be there, Dongshan City will be there, and Jiyun Dongjiang will still be there."

Lao He's thoughts flew to the battlefield. His big calloused hands held the handle of the knife fiercely and said: "The barbarians have been harassing the border all year round. The small villages and towns in Jiyun's eastern border have been slaughtered by them. It is said that it is the work of horse bandits.

, in fact, we all know that it was the grassland people who did it, but it doesn’t matter, Dongshan City is the gateway to Eastern Xinjiang, if the city is not destroyed, Jiyun’s east gate will always be strong."

Dongshan City has a dangerous terrain and is located between two mountains. It is the gateway to the east of Jiyun Kingdom and is connected to the grassland.

Ten miles away from Dongshan City is Dongmenguan.

The border gate built in the steep part of the valley is stationed with Jiyun Kingdom's most skilled border troops, led by veteran general Fan Hu, who uses a single pass to keep the grassland people away from the mountains and seas.

"My home is in Dongshan City." Lao He stared at the bonfire with his eyes and said numbly: "A martial artist like me has little status in Jiyun. Even though I am a Qi practitioner, I am still looked down upon by the dignitaries...

"

Disabled people cannot serve as officials. This is Jiyun's rule.

Honorable nobles need to have a decent appearance, be full of knowledge, chant the ideals of the sages, and write articles that can govern the world. As for the strength of their military training, no one cares.

It can even be said that many powerful people are deliberately alienating warriors and even practitioners. Military officers are classified as a separate yamen, rather than a group that keeps pace with civil servants.

Governing the country with culture is the way of governing the country by the Lord Jiyun.

There is a reason that is unknown but everyone knows, the Yu family was wiped out.

The Yu family was founded by martial arts. The first head of the family assisted the late emperor in conquering a huge empire, and became the number one practicing family in Jiyun.

But such a powerful family was wiped out by the emperor's butcher knife.

The Yu family's mistakes have become a guiding light for later generations. In Jiyun, practicing martial arts is far inferior to studying literature.

"Dongshan City is okay. It's guarded by an old general. Xirong City is a place of chaos. It's said to be the border gate of the Western Frontier. I'm afraid it has already become the territory of the Fire Worshipers!"

A long-faced mercenary said angrily: "We send a large amount of food and grass to Xirong every year, but how come we never see people from Xirong leaving to visit their relatives? Rumor has it that the dog-headed army of the Fire Worshiping Kingdom has emptied the city of Xirong, and now the only people living there are

A bunch of evil dogs from the Fire Worshiping Kingdom! Thanks to the Jiyun Royal Family, they still send food and gifts every year. How is this different from paying tribute? A group of royal family who deceive themselves and others, and their great country will be defeated sooner or later!"

Mentioning Jiyun's two major border passes, the mercenaries sighed, wishing they could pick up their swords and go into battle again to join the army in killing them.

There is nothing left for revenge, but there is no place to use it.

"It is said that the Fire Nation is good at raising evil dogs and worshiping the God of Fire. I wonder if they eat roasted dog meat. It smells so good..." Ma Dao held a roasted wild dog leg in his hand and ate it.

He was sitting by the fire, but the strange thing was that many people never noticed him. Along the way, it seemed as if he was not there at all in the team.

"I heard that the prince of the Fire Nation, Fu Dou, raised a fire-eating beast into his body. He wouldn't roast it himself and eat it. Isn't that fire-eating beast just a wild dog with will-o'-the-wisps on its teeth?" Yunji joked.

"My boss is right, Prince Fu Dou will definitely not eat himself. He is the best Qi practitioner in the world." Ma Dao chuckled.

"He can't do it. A guy who is neither a human nor a dog can be regarded as the best kobold in the world and the best qigong practitioner in the world. Aren't you?" Yunji tilted his head and looked at the saber with a smile.

"My boss is really good at joking. Hehe, I am not the best qi practitioner in the world. I can't even be ranked as the best follower in the world." Sabao said with a smile.

"Feng Yuanliang's storage bag is on you. Do you need me to help you verify your identity?" Yun Ji said meaningfully: "Sword Demon."

With a word about the sword demon, the campfire became silent.

The mercenaries were shocked and confused, wondering whether Boss Yun was joking or whether the unscrupulous horse bandit was really the rumored sword demon.

Ma Dao's sneer gradually solidified. He lowered his head and took two bites of the dog leg, talking to himself.

"How can you tell? I should have no flaws..."

"It's that bamboo leaf. It turns out you set the fire in the inn..."

"No, I used iron wires and bamboo leaves to clear my meridians before I fully recovered my cultivation. It only took one night, and you were out looking for sheep that night and didn't come back until early in the morning. You couldn't have discovered my cultivation in the middle of the night."

"It should be Zhu San. He made rude remarks and claimed that anyone who stole bamboo leaves would die. Naturally, I had to send him away. You should have seen the clues from this..."

"I know, it must be the moment when Feng Yuanliang was stabbed. You discovered the clues with your extraordinary eyesight, identified the blade body with the wind of the blade, and then used the body of the blade to identify the owner of the blade. I have to say that your powers of observation are far beyond ordinary people.

, actually always remember my knife."

"There is another possibility. You deliberately didn't take action after the Ice Talisman froze Hanba, and lured me to use the sword, and caught my figure in the wind and sand. You haven't used your hands for many years, and you can hardly use the sword anymore. Your skills are not as good as in previous years.

.”

"But I have to thank you. Without that spiritual stone, there would be no more sword demons in the world, hehe, hehehehe."

The aura of the saber changed completely at this time. He was no longer the street gangster with a sneer on his face, but a murderous gangster. When he smiled, the scars on his face twisted, like sharp knives that came to life.

After Ma Dao finished speaking, Yunji said very sincerely: "You're welcome, the spirit stone is not given away in vain, your life is mine, and I will use you as a specimen for the strongest foundation building."

Gulu, Lao He's Adam's apple on the side rolled, his forehead was already sweating, and he was always ready to take action.

In Lao He's opinion, Yunji is in extreme danger at this time!

If Ma Dao is really the sword demon, Lao He doesn't even have a 10% chance of saving his boss, Yun Ji.

The power and terror of the sword demon are like a nightmare among Qi practitioners, and they cannot be shaken off.

"My life is not easy to take." Sabao's eyes were serious.

"You said you are willing to be a pawn, but you have to be honest. Honesty will prevail in the world." Yun Ji said seriously.

Saber smiled.

Smiling very happily.

He grabbed the dog's leg and bit it hard, and said: "If you want me to be a pawn, unless your knife is faster than mine, I haven't said when you found out my identity, whether it was when Feng Yuanliang died, or...

When I killed Hanba, or maybe it was a moment that I didn't notice."

Yunji was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "You are overthinking. Since the first time we met in Sha Town, I have known that you are the top Qi practitioner."

"Impossible!" Sabao threw the dog's leg to the ground and narrowed his eyes: "You and I have never met, how can you tell that I am a top qi practitioner?"

Yunji said helplessly: "Of course it's the evil spirit. Your evil spirit is so strong that it's so strong. The evil spirits in the whole Sha Town combined are not as heavy as your evil spirit. Your Brother Dao is not the top master, who is?"
