Chapter 139: I feel itchy if I don’t clean up after three days.
The Tenth Master was stunned by this question, his face turned red but he couldn't utter a word.
Jiu Ye put his hands into his sleeves and stamped his feet twice: "Let's go, what are you still waiting here for? Do you really want to freeze to death?"
The Tenth Master frowned and pulled him back: "Come on, Ninth Brother, since we're here, why don't we let him in and take a look?"
Jiu Ye was being pulled, and for a moment he couldn't break free. He could only sigh and say, "Do you have any weapons with you?"
Master Shi searched his body and then shook his head.
Jiu Ye also spread his hands and said: "I didn't bring any either. The wall is so high, and we can't climb up without a hook. Forget it, just hurry back."
The Tenth Master frowned deeply: "Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother can go up, why can't we? Let's give it a try."
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes: "Your fourth brother has brought weapons!"
The Tenth Master clenched his fists, his face full of fighting spirit: "If we can get up without any external aid, doesn't that mean we are stronger than Fourth Brother? Let's give it a try."
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "You really did everything you could to defeat your fourth brother!"
Unfortunately, before he could say a word, he was dragged by the Tenth Master to the foot of the city wall.
Looking at the two masters who were trying to fly up, Buyu behind him swallowed hard and looked at Buyan beside him: "Brother, should we report this to the master quickly?"
Bu Yan said nonchalantly, "What's the rush?"
Buyu frowned deeply: "The master said that he entered the city secretly and asked the two of us to keep an eye on it. He also didn't want others to know. And then he was discovered by the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master. How can I not be anxious?"
Buyan raised his eyebrows again: "Do you think these two gentlemen can fly up?"
Bu Yu: "Even if I can't fly up, I know that the master has entered the city. What if the master's affairs are discovered? What should I do?"
He knocked on the silent head and said, "Master, it's not like you've done anything wrong. Don't worry, Master knows what's going on. If we enter the city, we might alert the enemy, so just stay here and support us."
Bu Yan looked towards the city with some worry, wondering how his master was doing.
The memorial submitted by the prefect of Jinyang said that more than half of the houses collapsed in this snow disaster and the surplus grain in Jinyang was no longer enough, so he requested the court to allocate grain as soon as possible.
If it is as serious as the prefect said, why don’t the people in Jinyang City go out?
Bu Yan had experienced snowstorms in previous years. If a family didn't have food stored, they would definitely go out to find food. Even though it snowed heavily, there were still rivers and forests outside the city. Surely some brave villagers would go out to fish near the water, or catch pheasants and rabbits in the woods.
The carriages and horses were stationed not far outside the city, but not a single resident saw them. It was really strange.
I hope everything goes well for the master.
How could the Fourth Master not guess what Bu Yan could guess? Now he has sneaked into the prefect's mansion with warm wine.
"Huh? There's no one here?" Wen Jiu walked around the house in surprise, and pointed at the charcoal fire: "It looks like they just left not long ago. This mansion hasn't been looted." The homes of several wealthy families that she and the Fourth Master passed by just now had been robbed so badly that not even a steamed bun was left.
It was clear that Jinyang City had indeed suffered a great disaster. There might even be civil unrest, but where had all these people gone?
I remember that there were scenes of widespread wailing in the memory fragments. How come the whole city is deserted?
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "No need to worry. We'll know tomorrow. I want to see what's behind this."
Wen Jiu: "Master, where do you think these people are going? What do they have to do at this time?"
The Fourth Master shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid there is a highly respected person controlling everything. I can't figure it out for now."
"Master, you have to be careful, especially this Jinyang prefect."
The Fourth Master suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Jiu: "What do you mean?"
Wen Jiu: "Look, all the food, clothing and utensils in his house are still there. Although it looks poor, it is much better than the other robbed houses. Maybe he planned all this."
The memory fragment said that the Fourth Master lost the food because the Fourth Master gave the food to him.
After hearing this, the Fourth Master patted Wenjiu's head and said, "Okay, I understand."
Wen Jiu didn't say anything more. As long as the Fourth Master kept this matter in mind, it would be fine. With precautions, there are probably very few people in the world who can hurt Emperor Star.
If the food and fodder hadn't been lost, the Fourth Master wouldn't have gone through so much hardship to retrieve it, nor would he have embarked on the cruel journey back to the capital alone. This way, his dark side might not have changed.
The mission to stop him from turning evil is only half successful. Thinking of the ten years of life as a reward for the mission, Wen Jiu couldn't help but feel happy.
"What are you laughing at? Let's go." The Fourth Master took her hand and walked towards the gate.
"Wait." Wen Jiu suddenly stopped, then took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped away all the footprints they had just walked on. Then he exhaled and said, "Let's go."
The Fourth Master couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wen Jiu: "You seem to be very familiar with this place."
He choked on his warm wine. "It's not about being familiar with the road, it's about being careful and cautious."
The Fourth Master smiled softly without commenting. As expected of her, her eloquence always leaves people speechless.
When coming out of Jinyang City, the Fourth Master did not return with the warm wine, but instead jumped out from the relatively shorter city gate.
As soon as I left the city, I saw two figures from afar, who seemed to be trying hard to jump onto the city gate and the city wall.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Why do these two people look more and more familiar?"
The Fourth Master narrowed his narrow eyes and said, "If I don't deal with you for three days, you'll feel itchy."
Wen Jiu: "...Master, let's forget it. Boys at this age are just a little naughty..."
Every time this master beat someone up, Wenjiu would make a delicious meal as compensation. Now, it seems that the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master really enjoy being beaten, and they get more and more excited the more they beat.
Yesterday, the Tenth Master came over and told her, "My kung fu has improved a lot after being beaten by Fourth Brother all this time."
At that time, the Third Master and the Ninth Master looked at the Tenth Master as if he were a fool. Who would have known that during dinner, these men would come over one by one to get beaten.
"What?" The Fourth Master suddenly looked at Wen Jiu coldly: "You don't want to see me beat them? Is it because you can't bear to see them, or are they reluctant to see me?"
Warming the wine: "..."
"Speak." The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and approached, his expression becoming increasingly unsightly.
"Beat him!" Wen Jiu immediately said with a serious face: "Beat him hard, until his face is bruised and black."
