Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 66: Killing Intentions

The next morning, roosters crowed.

Jiang Yue's daily routine has become fixed. He wakes up with the crowing of a rooster, feeds the hawks and dogs, and obtains four points of life essence.

[Life Essence: 56]

The distance to 100 points was getting closer and closer. Thanks to Jiang Yue's understanding of breath holding, he was able to hit the wild deer.

The meat of wild deer provides more life essence, and the amount of meat provided by each wild deer is much larger than that of musk deer.

After packing up his hunting gear, Jiang Yue was just about to go hunting when Xiaotian started barking wildly at the door, followed by the sound of banging on it.

Jiang Yue frowned and opened the door, only to find that the person who came was Sun Yayi in official uniform, so he stood sideways to block the gap in the door to prevent Sun Yayi from seeing the situation in the yard.

Xiaotian doesn't care. Although he is a fierce dog, his price is not that high. But it's different for Xuntian. The price of a handsome goshawk that has been trained starts at one hundred taels of silver.

Money can tempt people, Jiang Yue has to be on guard.

Not only that, Jiang Yue also felt a dangerous aura from Sun Yayi, just like when he faced Gao Guaizi who had the killing Black Tiger Knife.

There is no doubt that Sun Yayi is capable and even stronger than him.

"Ejiro."

Sun Yayi grinned and said kindly, "Don't get excited. I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

Jiang Yue frowned slightly.

"Didn't your village capture a kidnapper alive? That kidnapper later escaped from prison. I'm worried that he would find someone to take revenge on you. I want to ask about the situation. Have any bandits come here recently?"

The servant Sun had a smiling face.

Jiang Yue knew that this guy was usually like this. He would move forward when he needed people and move backward when he didn't. He had a very ugly face.

"No bandits have come."

Jiang Yue shook his head.

"You've really never been here?"

Sun Yayi frowned and said comfortingly: "If the three clan elders in your village don't let you speak, you don't have to be afraid, just tell me, I will support you."

“I’ve never been here.”

Jiang Yue shook his head and slammed the door.

"spit--"

The servant Sun spat on the Jiangyue Gate and looked around the Funiu Village with suspicion. When he saw the hunters getting up in the morning, he would go up to them from time to time to say hello and ask about the bandits, but they all had their own excuses.

As for the answers given by the hunters in Funiu Village, they all said that no bandits had ever come, and the houses were burned down due to a flood, and all the members of the Wang family were burned to death.

"Damn it, Wang Wumei is dead, where is the Yue family jade pendant?"

Sun Yayi stood at the entrance of the village and murmured, "Did the Black Wind Village come and burn the house, or did these unruly people fight among themselves and kill all the Wang family members?"

After thinking about it carefully, Sun Yayi felt that the latter was the most likely possibility.

If Black Wind Village had come, no one in Funiu Village would have survived. How could these unruly people resist the vicious bandits? Impossible.

That is, the Wang family was wiped out by the other two families, and their houses were burned down.

"Damn it! Where's the jade pendant?"

The servant Sun cursed again.

As the bandit suppression campaign is imminent, people from all ethnic groups will gather in Qingyang Town.

The Yue family has been searching for the branch of the clan from that time. Anyone with information can collect the reward directly from the Luo family.

If he had the Yue family jade pendant, he might be able to establish a relationship with the Yue family, and get promoted and make a fortune. Isn't it better than being a poor yamen runner in Qingyang Town, a place with not much money?

Originally, he wanted to snatch the jade pendant directly, but Wang Wumei insisted on giving it to him after the matter was accomplished. At the end of the year, officials were ordered to inspect all counties, and Sun Yayi did not want to cause trouble at this critical moment, so he endured it.

As a result, after several days, there was no movement in Funiu Village. Instead, all the Wang family members died, and the jade pendant disappeared. That's why Sun Yayi came to Funiu Village to get some information and see what was going on.

"This group of unruly people, fighting among themselves when they can't afford to eat, are really bastards."

"The Wang family's wealth should have been confiscated and given to me, but it was stolen by these unruly people."

"And the jade pendant"

The servant Sun cursed for a while and then left angrily.

He knew that the jade pendant was definitely still in Funiu Village, but he had to think of some way to find it.

Jiang Yue stood quietly on the roof of his house, watching Sun Yat-sen's every move clearly.

Although he couldn't hear what was being said, Jiang Yue had excellent eyesight and could clearly see the mouth shapes of Sun Yat-sen and the villagers. He roughly knew what Sun Yat-sen was asking and how the villagers were answering.

However, Jiang Yue didn't know what Sun Yat-sen was secretly analyzing when he was cursing at the entrance of the village, because he couldn't see his mouth shape clearly at that time.

"That is to say, Officer Sun did know about the riot by the bandits, and it was Officer Sun who really let the kidnapper go."

"As for coming here to gather information now and trying to find out whether the bandits have come, it shows that his relationship with the bandits is average, and the possibility of him leaking the information is very small."

Jiang Yue felt that his reasoning was correct.

For a tiny bit of profit and a woman's body, Sun Yat-sen released the kidnapper. If the sky patrol had not discovered something unusual that day, all the villagers in Funiu Village would have been brutally killed by the bandits, and Silang and his grandfather would have died as well.

Sun Yayi, you deserve to be killed!

Jiang Yue already had murderous intent in his heart, and decided to wait until he became stronger, then come up with a plan to kill Sun Yayi with one blow.

With Wang Xiao’s lesson, Jiang Yue will not make the same mistake again. He must eliminate the trouble once and for all if he takes action.

Jiang Yue watched Sun Yat-sen walk away from the village entrance and his figure gradually disappeared. Then he let Xuntian spread his wings and fly high to see if the big beast in the bandit camp was still there.

After receiving the response from Xuntian, Jiang Yue took Shi Lei's letter and took Xiaotian into the mountains, following the mountain road to Qing County.

A man and a dog walked in the mountains and forests, picking herbs as they traveled. After more than an hour, they finally arrived at Qingniu Ridge.

The ancient county town gate stands tall and majestic, built with huge stones, showing its vicissitudes of life and weight.

The city gate was deep and dark, with flags flying on the tower.

In order to prevent anyone from coveting him, Jiang Yue asked Xiaotian to wait at Qingniuling.

Just like last time, perhaps because it was the end of the year and the inspectors were inspecting the counties, Jiang Yue did not need to pay any miscellaneous silver such as city wall donations to enter the city. He had a smooth journey and went straight to the Qing County Qimen General Store.

The guy is still the same guy. After meeting Jiang Yue twice, he already knows Jiang Yue.

In particular, Hu Yunlong had also instructed that if Jiang Yue came, he had to report to Hu Yunlong directly.

Before Jiang Yue entered the door, the idle waiter saw Jiang Yue and hurried to greet him.

"Hey, you're here again. Please wait here for a moment while we go talk to Lord Hu."

The waiter poured Jiang Yue a cup of tea, motioned Jiang Yue to sit aside and wait, and went to the backyard to report.

After a while, Hu Yunlong came in from the back door of the shop. When he saw Jiang Yue, he was overjoyed.

His pupils sparkled with gold as he carefully looked at Jiang Yue. Finally, he laughed and praised, "Erlang, you are really good! You have already tempered your entire body of flesh and blood. You are making rapid progress, rapid progress!"

"Mr. Hu, you are overpraising me."

Jiang Yue quickly put down the teacup and stood up.

"Let's go in and talk."

Hu Yunlong smiled, led Jiang Yue into the backyard of the store, entered a small house with simple and quaint furnishings, and motioned Jiang Yue to sit down.

"Erlang, what are you doing here this time?"

Hu Yunlong was very curious: "Is there something wrong with your practice of the Tiger Stance? I feel that with your talent, you should have understood the charm of the Tiger Stance, but when I saw you walking just now, you didn't have the charm. Erlang, stand in the Tiger Stance for me to see."

Just as Jiang Yue was about to take out Shi Lei's letter, he heard Hu Yunlong asking him to stand in the stance, so he simply stood in the Tiger Stance.
