Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 267: Debt collector
After the two outsiders left, Longzi and Longnu talked about some things without any scruples.
As the goddess of the Tongtian River, Dragon Girl is also responsible for some things. Normally, Ji Yuan hides in her home and practices, and no one dares to disturb her. Now that she has come out this time, she naturally has to report some situations.
"Uncle Ji, we have previously mobilized a small number of aquatic species from the sea and followed some of the waterways near the sea in Yunzhou into some swampy areas to explore."
"What did you find?"
Ji Yuan asked, and Long Zi answered first.
"Most of the water tribe don't pay much attention to things on the shore, and there are no special reports for the time being. However, a local river **** told us that the waterway was blocked by corpses for ten days, and tens of thousands of people died."
Ji Yuan was startled and looked at Long Zi to ask.
"What's going on?"
"It was not evil, but a military confrontation. The two sides fought fiercely by the river. One side was halfway across and attacked, and the defeated suffered heavy casualties."
Ji Yuan frowned. The wars in the world have never stopped. Even Dazhen had fought with one of the bordering countries a few years ago. There were almost constant minor frictions at the border, not to mention Yun The continent is so big.
"Is it Tianbao Kingdom?"
"No, it's in a place called Daegu."
Ji Yuan said "Oh" and didn't make another sound. He just rowed the oar. Although the frequency was not fast, the force of each stroke was like sweeping a piece of water behind the boat. It seemed powerful and sinking, so the speed of the boat was Flying away, this process does not use magic power or mobilize the surrounding aura, it is just the use of strength and skills.
The boat was temporarily quiet. Longnu sat on the wooden bench in the cabin, resting her hands and knees with her eyes closed, while Longzi sat casually on the side of the stern of the boat.
"Don't you have anything to do with yourself?"
Seeing that they seemed to want to follow them, Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, I really don't have anything to do. My sister is a river god, she has a lot of things to do."
When Ying Ruoli heard what her brother said, she couldn't help it and quickly defended herself.
"I'm fine too. The Water God is not a city god, so how can he be in charge of things all day long?"
"Uncle Ji, what are you going to do in Gyeonggi Prefecture this time? There are no ghosts in the entire Gyeonggi Prefecture now, let alone evil spirits."
Ji Yuan looked at Ying Feng and spoke truthfully.
"Two reasons, one is to collect debts, and the other is that the old emperor Dazhen is about to be exhausted. Let's see how the Dazhen dynasty will determine its own national destiny."
"Debt collection?"
Long Zi and Long Nu were both curious. Is there anyone in Gyeonggi Prefecture who dares to owe Uncle Ji a debt?
"Uncle Ji, who owes you a debt? My father is asleep. If you want to ask for the jar of ambergris that he lost to you in a bet last time, you should go underwater, and he doesn't I plan to default on my debt..."
"Of course not Mr. Ying, he is a mortal."
Ji Yuan explained with a smile.
Dragon Son and Dragon Girl were even more curious. A mortal could be so strong that he owed Uncle Ji a debt. No matter how he owed it, this person had to see it.
. . .
Two days later in the evening, half of the setting sun had fallen beyond the horizon. On Xining Avenue in Gyeonggi Prefecture, Ji Yuan and Long Zi and Long Nu were walking on this street.
In order to prevent Dragon Girl's appearance from causing trouble, both Long Zi and Dragon Girl covered up their appearance. From their clothes to their looks, they were above average.
"Uncle Ji, I heard that you have a registered apprentice under the Yin Division in Gyeonggi Prefecture?"
Long Zi Ying Feng suddenly asked, causing Ji Yuan, who was walking in front, to pause and turn to look at him. He saw Long Zi smiling and Long Nu looking at her nose and nose. Guankou obviously wanted to know.
"Where did you know this kind of thing?"
Even at the last land and water conference in Gyeonggi Prefecture, the white deer in the underworld was not clear, and no ghost or **** would go to the ghost city in the underworld to inform the white deer.
"Hey, is that true? Uncle Ji, your disciple has been secretly in love with a mortal for decades. She thought she hid well, but you must have known about the whole process, right? Otherwise, how could she be so good? You come out when your luck is being robbed!”
"Ahem, brother, it's a mount."
"Hey, it's almost there!"
Long Zi forgot about it. He didn’t expect that Long Nu would actually gossip one day. Ji Yuan simply ignored them. After all, he couldn’t elaborate on the matter.
The Xiao Mansion is actually also on Yongning Street, but fate has calculated that the Xiao family master is not in the mansion at the moment, but in a restaurant on Xining Avenue with Zhen Hongxiu.
When Ji Yuan and Long Zi and Long Nu approached the restaurant, they actually saw an acquaintance.
Si Tianjian Zhengyan Changzheng supported a drunken short-bearded man, and they came out of the restaurant together. The man was still yelling that he wanted to continue drinking.
Yan Chang was thin but not too weak. He carried the man's arm on his shoulder and helped him out.
It was already dark now, but there were not many people coming and going around the restaurant.
"Brother Yan...Brother Yan, go to my house, let's keep drinking, keep drinking..."
"Go, go, go, Mr. Yu is very happy with this. He always said that he will stay with you until the end. Hey, hey, watch your steps."
The drunkard laughed and laughed.
"Hahahaha...it is fate that I can meet Mr. Yan here. Today I will take out the aged golden jade wine that I have collected..."
"Master Yu, you're welcome!"
As Yan Chang was walking while supporting someone, he accidentally looked up and saw Ji Yuan not far away, his expression obviously stunned.
"Mr. Ji?"
Yan Chang rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed not an illusion.
"Sir Yan, are you okay?"
"Mr. Ji, it's really you! Yan, Yan has met Mr. Ji and the two of you."
Yan Chang dragged others to bow reluctantly. Although he looked happy, he was not too excited.
"Ah? Why don't you leave? Are you home? Take a walk, go drink..."
Ji Yuan nodded toward Yan Chang and looked at the person being supported by Yan Chang. He also had official aura and was probably not a commoner.
"This gentleman seems to be very depressed?"
Yan Chang smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Ji, what do you think is the most difficult job in the world?"
"Can this be ranked in any order?"
Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Yan Chang didn't show off, he pointed at the people beside him and said.
"The most difficult job in the world is to be the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture."
In the two major Zhili prefectures of Dazhen, the highest official is not called the prefect like in other places, but is called the prefect, which is one rank higher than the prefect, and is the same as the ordinary prefect, from the fourth rank.
Dragon Son and Dragon Girl don't know much about human affairs, maybe they haven't come back to their senses yet, but Ji Yuan understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but look at the drunk man.
The emperor is in charge of the government office. If a special case comes up, it may involve some high-ranking officials or relatives of the emperor. It is indeed difficult to handle.
"Master Yan, please help yourself. If Ji has anything to do, he will leave first."
Ji Yuan didn't pay much attention to anything, just cupped his hands and left with the two people behind him.
Yan Chang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to stop Ji Yuan.
Nowadays, Emperor Yuande's energy in searching for immortality and medicine has been greatly reduced. To put it bluntly, Yan Chang even doesn't want the old emperor to find a real master.
Based on the current situation in Kyoto, if Yan Chang worked too hard to find immortals, Emperor Yuande might not be dead yet, and Yan Chang himself might be in danger first.
Moreover, the immortal's actions are beyond the control of a mortal. It is impossible for him to stop shouting whenever he wants.
Ji Yuan and others soon arrived at the door of the restaurant, while Ying Feng was still looking at Yan Chang and Gyeonggi Fuyin who were walking away.
"Uncle Ji, this Qin Tianjian is quite free and easy. He didn't bother you. He should know that you are an immortal."
"Hey, yes, you are more knowledgeable than your highness Ying."
Hearing Ji Yuan's teasing, Long Zi felt a little embarrassed, while Long Nu covered her mouth and snickered.
Ji Yuan said no more and led the two of them into the restaurant one after another.
"Hey, I have three guests here. Have you booked a table in this building?"
I originally thought of going to the private room on the second floor. After hearing what the waiter said, Ji Yuan immediately changed his mind.
"Ordered..."
Ji Yuan raised his head and looked somewhere upstairs.
"It's in the private room in the northeast corner of your upstairs room."
"Huh?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment.
"Uh, sir, are you mistaken? There is already someone in the private room."
Ji Yuan walked into the restaurant and shook his head with a smile.
"That's right, that's right. It was Mr. Xiao who made the decision. He got there first and we are guests."
"Oh oh oh~~ I understand, I understand, sir, you told me earlier, I will take you up!"
"Okay, thank you."
Ji Yuan followed the waiter towards the stairs. Long Zi and Long Nu looked at each other and hurried to follow.
In the private room in the northeast corner of the second floor, Xiao Ling and the woman he admired were toasting and drinking together. There were two tables in the room, one with food and wine, one with the four treasures of the study and one with a recently finished painting. .
While the mood was high, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Master Xiao, your guest has arrived."
Xiao Ling put down the cup and looked at the beauty next to him in confusion.
"Who is it?"
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Ji Yuan walked in, arching his hands towards Xiao Ling and Duan Muwan.
"It's me, Mr. Xiao, hello, Miss Duan!"
Xiao Ling didn't know Ji Yuan at all. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but was obviously shocked when he heard Ji Yuan's words.
One of the hands of the woman next to her also grasped Xiao Ling's clothes under the table, but her face was calm and generous, and she spoke first before Xiao Ling.
"I'm afraid I made a mistake, sir. The little girl's surname is Lu."
Seeing this situation, the waiter outside realized that he might have done something wrong. He was about to speak when he saw the woman behind the visitor reaching out to fan herself in front of her eyes. Looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, her mind became confused. After a moment, he walked downstairs.
Ji Yuan ignored what was happening behind him and walked into the room. Long Zi and Long Nu also came in and closed the door. The latter was even slightly on the door frame, and a faint magical light flashed across the room.
Xiao Ling remained silent and squinted at the three strangers who came. He could see that these three people did not know martial arts and he could kill them with one hand.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Ling asked coldly, and there were already three broken pieces of silver in his hands under the table.
"Uncle Ji, is he the person who owes you a debt? It's interesting, there are really two..."
Mortal!
Ying Feng seemed particularly curious. Before entering the capital, he worked hard and learned some things from Ji Yuan. He was also shocked to learn that the fox demon had tricked his Uncle Ji and escaped unscathed.
"Absurd! When did Xiao owe you a debt?"
