Xiaoqi and Su Ying were both confused when they saw this scene.

How come this lazy guy was just lying there and suddenly he's flying a sword? Xiaoqi, did you give him too many sweet potatoes today?

Immediately afterwards, the Haoyu Sword emitted a crisp humming sound, and the aura emanating from the sword body caused the air to distort.

After more than ten breaths, a tiny red fragment slowly rose from the well behind the house and stuck to the body of the Haoyu Sword.

The Haoyu Sword flew back into Gu Jiu's hand. Gu Jiu touched it as if he was touching Xiao Hui and Xiao Qi, to express his affirmation.

He looked at the red fragment the size of a fingernail in his palm and raised his brows slightly.

This broken sword fragment is quite special. Do you still want to run away?

Chapter 5 Money Matters

The broken sword fragments found by Gu Jiu can naturally be used to find the murderer.

After a practitioner reaches the fifth realm, he can begin to nurture his natal object, and then establish a connection between the natal object and his sea of ​​consciousness, thereby completing the means of controlling the object.

However, it takes an extremely long period of time to fully nurture this natal sword, at least ten years and at most several decades. Therefore, once the natal sword recognizes its master, it is impossible to change it. This is also the reason why the natal sword often represents the identity of the cultivator.

Not everyone is born with a sword body like Gu Jiu, who can quickly establish connections with many swords.

In this world, practitioners must be devoted and loyal to their natal objects, but Gu Jiu is different. He can be very "flirtatious".

His act of controlling a thousand swords alone in King You's tomb could be described as building a harem.

Now that we have the fragment, all that remains is to confirm the identity of the fragment's owner.

Although Su Ying loves reading, most of the books she read are books of sages that cultivate righteousness. She is not good at encyclopedic knowledge such as who uses what flying sword, so this matter can only be handed over to others.

The fragments were quickly sent out, their destination being Amaterasu Sect.

In the Amaterasu sect, they have a good friend - Wang Feixi, who "loves practicing".

It didn't take long for the fragments and information about them to be delivered.

"Xiao Jiujiu, you're finally back!"

This was the first sentence in the letter brought by Wang Feixi, and there was a heart shape at the end. Even though it was just a piece of paper, Su Ying and Xiao Qi could feel the evil passion of this woman.

Gu Jiu also felt it, so he paused for a moment and then looked at the next sentence.

"This sword fragment is made of blood-veined steel using the 'Yuexi Ancient Casting Method.' According to my elders, only Baxue Liu Pavilion controls the 'Yuexi Ancient Casting Method.' There is no other family in the world that can do this.

The production of this blood-veined steel is also extremely small. I heard that two pounds and four cents of it appeared in the north ten years ago, and it was eventually obtained by Ba Xue Liu Pavilion. Therefore, the owner of this broken sword fragment should be an elder of Ba Xue Liu Pavilion.

By the way, why do you have this fragment? If anything involves Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, you must be careful and not impulsive. I will come back to discuss it with you after I finish my work here. Remember to wait for me!

After reading the contents of the letter, Gu Jiu placed it on the table.

He looked at the ruined land on the other side of the cliff and sighed, "It's confirmed."

When Xiao Qi saw the contents of the letter, his face turned pale and he said, "So it was the people from Ba Xue Liu Pavilion who wanted to kill me."

Then she remembered something and said hurriedly, "Oh, the Baxue Liu Pavilion has a large number of people and is very powerful. We can't afford to offend them."

Gu Jiu turned around and asked doubtfully: "Can't afford to offend???"

Seeing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. I know you're very powerful, but Ba Xue Liu Pavilion is really not to be trifled with. Besides, didn't Sister Fei Xi say in her letter that we should wait for her to discuss it together? We should just listen to her. After all, she...she has a lot of money."

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you waiting for? Ba Xue Liu Pavilion wants to kill you, and you're afraid you can't afford to offend him? Senior Sister, just listen to me this time, damn him!"

Xiao Qi asked, "What the hell?"

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Of course. 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' is the rule of our academy. Don't you know that?"

Su Ying was also confused at this time and asked, "When did our academy have this rule?"

Gu Jiu lay down, drank a sip of tea, and said, "I just added it. You two pack up, we will leave in two days."

Su Ying and Xiao Qi looked at each other, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing.

Because Gu Jiu lying there was really domineering.

Is this what it means for the domineering Xiaojiu to fall in love with me?

For some reason, this sentence popped up in Su Ying and Xiao Qi's minds. Then they looked at each other, and went about their own business happily.

You have to know that in this world, men are always considered beautiful for being gentle and virtuous, while domineering often belongs to women.

Su Ying and Xiao Qi didn't expect that a man could be so charming when he was domineering, which made them very moved.

Yes, even the little kid Xiaoqi was moved.

But when they calmed down, they still felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

Su Ying knew how powerful Gu Jiu was. He was a character that even the Imperial Master could beat away. However, Baxue Liu Pavilion was not a wilderness, and there was more than one Liu Wan in the pavilion.

Over the past few hundred years, Ba Xue Liu Pavilion has always been the number one in the north. No one dares to compete with it. Naturally, its foundation is terrifyingly deep.

If Gu Jiu insisted on looking for trouble, he would not only fail to gain the advantage of terrain, but would also soon fall into the situation of a lion fighting a pack of wolves.

You know, on the grassland, although the lion is the king, he still has to avoid wolves.

The Ba Xue Liu Pavilion is undoubtedly a den of wolves, and Gu Jiu is going to poke the wolf in the den.

The next day, Su Ying and Xiao Qi were already packing up.

Su Ying decided to persuade Gu Jiu again today. If it didn't work, she would try to persuade him again on the way. But before she could say anything, Qingliu Academy welcomed a rare guest.

Old Wu from Xinghua Town.

As regular customers of Lao Wu's braised meat shop, Gu Jiu and his friends are naturally familiar with Lao Wu.

Others thought that Gu Jiu and the others were like gods and did not dare to bother them easily, but Lao Wu could talk to them from time to time and do some of their business. He had become a big shot in Xinghua Town.

With the three customers including Gu Jiu, some of the people who used to be troublemakers, those who wanted protection, and those who bought on credit were all gone. After all, Qingliu Academy was becoming more and more famous in the north.

Especially when the news of what Gu Jiu did in Duanshui Fort reached the ears of these people, even though they were skeptical, they were full of awe for Gu Jiu and the other two.

In their eyes, Lao Wu was one of the rare people in town who could talk to Gu Jiu and the others, so they naturally didn't dare to act recklessly again.

However, it was rare for Lao Wu to come for a visit, so Gu Jiu and the other two still found it a little bit interesting.

The weather is nice today, with the sun shining brightly, but Lao Wu doesn't look well.

The first time he saw Gu Jiu and the others, Lao Wu fell to his knees with a thud, which scared Gu Jiu and the others.

Xiao Qi immediately helped Lao Wu up and said, "Boss Wu, what happened to you?"

Old Wu's face turned pale. He said, "Three Immortal Masters, something's happened in this town. Can you please save us? Yesterday, a group of soldiers arrived and said they want to conscript all of us, regardless of gender. If they do this, this beautiful town will be wiped out."

At this time, Xiao Qi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did these soldiers come from? If you all leave, where will we eat?"

Lao Wu said hurriedly, "That's right. I didn't want to disturb the three young immortal masters, but I thought that although you three are just neighbors in the town, we can't help but regard you as our supporters. So after some discussion, they asked me to trouble the three young immortal masters. The general in charge said that everyone must leave tonight."

Gu Jiu sat there and said, "It's not easy to help with this."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi's eyes widened and he said, "Why is it difficult to help? We are neighbors, even if..."

"It's about money."

Before Xiao Qi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Jiu's three words.

Chapter 6 I'm Not a Devil

As soon as Gu Jiu said this, the whole place fell silent, and no one could figure out what he was thinking.

At this time, Gu Jiu stood up, patted Lao Wu on the shoulder, and said, "Lao Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but your service is really average. Every time I eat, I'm exhausted from running back and forth. Can't you do takeout?"

"Takeout?" Lao Wu looked confused and asked doubtfully.

Gu Jiu said: "From now on, we can send messages by carrier pigeon. You can bring the food over. I won't go to town anymore. I'm too lazy to run."

"Yes, yes, of course!" Old Wu, who understood what "takeout" was, couldn't help but answer quickly.

Gu Jiu looked at the other person's honest face and said, "We are neighbors, so of course we have to help you, but our academy doesn't work for nothing."

At this time, Su Ying couldn't help but said, "Xiao Jiu, are we the kind of people who need that little money?"

Gu Jiu said: "Talking about money hurts feelings, not talking about it hurts even more. Old Wu, after this matter is settled, your family can't pay for errands when delivering food in the future, and the same goes for other families in town."

Lao Wu opened his eyes wide and said quickly, "Yes, yes! Of course!"

"Okay, our academy will help you with this. We will go with you later to see whose army this is that is conscripting men like this in front of my Qingliu Academy." After saying that, Gu Jiu couldn't help but lie down again.

After hearing this answer, Lao Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had thought Gu Jiu's offer would bankrupt her family, no, their town. But in the end, it was just an extra errand, right? And there was business to be had along the way. What was wrong with that?

……

Outside Xinghua Town, a team of about 500 soldiers was stationed there.

They were wearing silver armor, with cold swords hanging on their waists and long spears on their backs. Their equipment looked very sophisticated.

Most of these female soldiers have relatively smooth skin, unlike the local people in the north whose skin is rough due to wind and sun. This is enough to prove that they are not native soldiers from the north.

The leading female general was tall, with big breasts and a perky butt. Her hair was tied into a big ponytail. She rode on a big black horse and looked particularly imposing.

There was no expression on her face as she looked at the townspeople who had sad faces and some of them had already started wiping their tears and packing their things.

She knew why the people above were collecting taxes from these townspeople and felt that it was a bit unfair, but she did not raise any objections.

The big man in the cloud wants to do this, and all she can do is complete the task.

Not long after, the female general saw four people and a donkey coming from outside the town, one of whom was the shop owner she had met in the town before.

She waved her hand and female soldiers gathered around her.

One of the female lieutenants looked at Lao Wu and said coldly, "Who allowed you to leave the town without permission?"

In fact, the entire town was guarded by these soldiers. The reason why Lao Wu was able to come out to find Gu Jiu and the others was because these soldiers turned a blind eye.

In areas where women are being recruited, if any civilian escapes without permission, it is a serious crime.

At this time, Xiao Qi stood up and said, "I let him out."

The female deputy general looked at Xiao Qi. Although she knew who he was from his appearance and attire, she still asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Qi put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest and raised his head, saying, "Zhong Qi from Qingliu Academy! Xinghua Town is our territory. What gives you the right to recruit people from here?"

At this time, the female general rode over and said, "Humph! When did Xinghua Town become the jurisdiction of your Qingliu Academy? Why is there no record of this in the classics?"

In fact, because of Gu Jiu, Qingliu Academy became more and more famous and achieved good results in the Beixue Ming Festival, but Xinghua Town was really not under their jurisdiction.

The female general paused and continued, "Let's take a step back. Even if it were your responsibility, your sect is only responsible for regional security. When will you get involved in the imperial court's conscription?"

Gu Jiu, lying on Xiao Hui's back, chuckled and said, "The imperial court, which imperial court? The one under Jing Ru or the one under Wu Mei?"

The female general's face turned cold, and she shouted, "How dare you! How dare you address His Majesty by his name?"

At this time, Gu Jiu sat up and said, "I know you are coming for us. Tell me, how can we let these townspeople go?"

"This is an order from the military. There is absolutely no possibility of changing it." The female general said coldly.

Gu Jiu yawned and said, "Change it. If you don't, I'll kill you all. No need to talk nonsense. Damn it, I haven't even had my nap yet."

After hearing these words, the sound of cold swords being unsheathed suddenly rang out.

The female deputy general's chest trembled as she angrily asked, "Are you from Qingliu Academy planning a rebellion?"

In the north, the imperial court was not strong, and it could even be said that it felt a little aggrieved.

However, this kind of frustration usually happens when the sects don't pay any attention to them, or simply deal with the matter for the sake of the court's resources. However, Gu Jiu's direct disobedience and even threatening to kill people is the first time in decades.

After all, no one had dared to say such things for a long time after the empress used the Black Armor Army to force the southern sects to obey.

During the period when the empress's rule was not yet stable, there were indeed people who said these words, but they are all dead, and the grass on their graves is so tall that no one knows how tall it is.

Facing the other party's questioning, Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "If this is rebellion, then let's do it."

He said this lightly, as if rebellion was as easy as eating and sleeping.

Before everyone could react to this sentence, Gu Jiu had already gotten off the donkey.

No one saw how he came down. They just glanced and saw Gu Jiu standing in front of the female deputy general.

The female deputy general was so frightened that she was sweating all over her forehead, but she didn't dare to stab with the sword in her hand.

After all, Gu Jiu's reputation was too terrible, and she didn't have the courage to kill him.

The people under her didn't know what the mission was, but she did.
