Chapter 168 Round Buttocks with Tail
In the bright and beautiful autumn season, in the chief courtyard between the inner and outer courtyards.
Manager Qin told Ji You that the barbarians sent an envoy to the demon tribe and received a warm reception from the demon tribe.
In his description, he also quoted words like grand banquets and singing and dancing, which highlighted the fact that the demons were not actually averse to the barbarians, and also indirectly demonstrated that the human race was now in danger.
At this time, Ji You frowned slightly.
The immortal cultivator was sitting in the deep mountains and was not well-informed. This was indeed the first time he heard about this matter. He never thought that after a thousand years of internal troubles, the human race began to encounter external threats one after another.
After this preparation, Manager Qin poured him a cup of tea, showing his concern, and then got down to business.
The real topic was that Daxia was preparing to send an envoy to the Snow Region to meet the Demon Emperor. This journey would pass through the Northern Plains and the Snow Region, so he was needed to escort them.
At the same time, it was also stated that Ji You was not the only one participating in this mission, and there were also people sent by the seven major immortal sects accompanying him.
It is said that there are as many as sixteen people in the Rongdao realm and several in the Yingtian realm. All of them are powerful people who have been in seclusion for many years and came out specifically for this matter. At the same time, there are also powerful people in the Wujiang realm accompanying them.
The implication is that this trip is very safe.
In addition, Chief Qin even used the description that there are many beautiful women in the demon tribe, with very round buttocks, and even tails on their buttocks, which increased the appeal of this trip.
Ji You was listening very seriously, and the atmosphere of communication was solemn and formal, until the sentence "there is a tail above the round buttocks" came out, he couldn't help but frowning slightly.
"Who told Boss Qin that I like women with round buttocks?"
"Isn't that what everyone in the outer courtyard said? They also said that you once led the way for a junior sister with a very round buttocks. You were warm and hospitable, which quite showed the style of a student in the inner courtyard of our Tianshu Academy."
Ji You sat on the chair, staring at Manager Qin for a long time, his eyes deep and calm.
All the safety mentioned at the beginning is generally unsafe, and using the round buttocks of the demon women as an additional attraction further illustrates this point.
The atmosphere in the room began to gradually become tense until Manager Qin placed a stack of huge silver bills and an inventory list of three thousand Snow Demon Stones on the table.
Ji You glanced at the banknotes on the table and asked, "Give so much?"
"Yes, this trip is all the way north, the journey is long, and it's a foreign country, so it's reasonable to give more."
Manager Qin spoke in a gentle tone and began to wait for the other party's decision.
In his opinion, there are only two possible outcomes in the next moment.
Take it. This journey north is a life-threatening one.
If he doesn't take it, although he will inevitably be targeted by the noble families as he is alone, he may still have a glimmer of hope.
Ji You thought for a long time, reached out and picked up the banknote, and suddenly smiled brightly: "Thank you for your patronage, boss."
Qin Rong was silent for a while, and finally smiled politely: "Go back and make good preparations, wait for the official document from the Sixianjian, and then set off."
"Okay, come find me next time if something like this happens."
"Uh, sure."
Ji You put the banknotes and deposit certificates into his arms, then walked out of the office.
At this time, Lang Hetong put the teacup in his hand on the table and watched his figure walking from the main building of the Deanery towards the gate.
He had actually been here the entire time, but because his duties did not involve dispatching disciples, he had never interrupted.
It was not until Ji You left that he could not help but speak: "I thought that even with gold and spirit stones, it would take some effort to convince him."
Qin Rong sighed: "Maybe this is what it means to be obsessed with money."
Lang and Tongyong scraped off the tea foam with a covered bowl: "In fact, Ji You has always been smart, but I don't know why, when it comes to money, it seems that he has lost his brain. I thought this was a good thing."
“That’s why it’s called a weakness…”
After drinking the tea, Lang Hetong said, "Who is the one sent by our inner courtyard on this trip?"
Qin Rong came back to his senses: "Elder Ge from Yingtian Realm, as well as Shi Junhao, a disciple of Changsheng Hall, and Xiao Hanyan, a disciple of Buchen Hall, if they return safely, these two should be the direct disciples of the hall."
“No wonder they were willing to go.”
"Compared with these two people who aspire to be the direct disciples of the Immortal Palace, Ji You, who works for money, seems too stupid and cheap."
Qin Rong whispered with a faint sigh.
The position of a disciple directly taught by the Inner Court Immortal Palace represents a major step closer to the orthodox tradition. If the head master decides to ascend to heaven one day, the current palace master's disciple will be the next palace master of the Heavenly Academy.
The master of a hall in the Heavenly Academy is so proud of himself that his words are enforced.
In front of this, the gold and white things that Ji You coveted really seemed particularly cheap.
After noon, the autumn days become mild.
At this time, the Heavenly Academy's edict was still flickering in the sky, emitting thousands of golden lights, piercing through the clouds and spreading in all directions.
The three major immortal sects in the south also had convoys rushing to Shengjing one after another, making the prosperous Shengjing city even more lively and congested.
Countless cultivators with powerful auras moved into Chunchi Garden, with arrogant expressions and eyes that cared nothing else, as if they were looking down on the human world and disdainfully viewing the world.
So there was no need to fan the flames too much, and news about the three major ethnic groups: humans, barbarians, and demons began to spread like wildfire.
The barbarian envoys were warmly received by the demon tribe, which made countless people nervous.
"The Snow Region is in the northwest of the Northern Plains. The environment is complex and dangerous, with wild beasts rampant, and the chance of encountering barbarians is also very high, so the ones sent this time are all masters above the Rong Dao realm, because the barbarian soldiers are naturally strong and sturdy, and only such masters can go deep into it."
On the corridor on the west side of the Bishui Lake in the outer courtyard, Lou Siyi looked solemn as she explained to Lu Qingqiu and several other sisters.
Their family has always been engaged in the cultivation of spiritual seedlings and immortal medicines. They also have a breeding ground on the northern plains, slightly to the east of the inner side of Hantie Pass.
Because she had been exposed to it since childhood, she knew the situation in Beiyuan best.
Sun Qiaozhi heard the voice and asked, "What is a wild beast?"
"Except for humans who have true spirits in their bodies since birth, there are barbarians and monsters who are born without spiritual intelligence. Those people are called beasts. Because of their savage nature, they are sometimes more dangerous than those with spiritual intelligence. Even those in the Rong Dao realm find it difficult to deal with them."
After hearing this, Lu Qingqiu looked towards the inner courtyard and said, "Beiyuan is only for those who have reached the Rong Dao realm. But Ji You is on the escort list."
Sun Qiaozhi turned to look at him and said, "It is said that the Heavenly Academy gave him ten thousand taels of gold and three thousand Snow Region Demon Stones, and he gladly accepted it."
"He has always been like this. I am not that surprised. Someone said before that if you want to lure him away and kill him, you just need to throw silver along the way..."
"Is this a joke?"
"It should be a joke, but this joke also proves how greedy Ji You is."
Sun Qiaozhi pursed her red lips and said, "You can be greedy for money, but you don't have to throw away your life."
Lu Qingqiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Maybe he doesn't know that Beiyuan and Xueyu are so dangerous."
At this time, He Lingxiu was in the deepest part of the Zizhu Zen Temple in the inner courtyard, which was also the place where spiritual energy and Taoism evolved most magnificently. In between his meditation, he heard several candidates for the hall master around him discussing this matter.
With their identities, they were actually able to realize that Ji You's appearance on the list was the result of a joint conspiracy.
But he didn't expect that such a clumsy plan would work so well for him.
The other two protagonists in this incident, Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan, are also here.
They all have reached the upper realm of Rong Dao, and are confident that they can escape unscathed even if they cross the Northern Plains into the Snow Region. Moreover, their reward is a place in the Hall Master's personal circle.
As for the fact that the Office of Management only spent some money to buy Ji You's life, they, who were used to being indifferent and as cold as immortals, couldn't help laughing.
He Lingxiu withdrew her gaze from them, looked into the distance at the sky, and finally shook her head slightly.
Escorting the delegation is different from going to Lingjian Mountain.
Going to Lingjian Mountain to ask for advice would only bring risks of failure and humiliation, but facing the barbarians would be a matter of life and death, so she would not go, and her uncle would not let him go either. This was the difference.
Therefore, on this trip, apart from Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan who went there with the intention of succeeding the throne, only someone like Ji You who knew nothing would be willing to die for money.
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps sounded from the mountain path, and He Lingxiu couldn't help but turn around to look.
Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshuzheng walked towards the inner courtyard immortal residence with serious expressions.
At this time, Ji You had returned from the Office of the Chief Minister for a long time. He was checking the banknotes at the table when he saw his senior brothers and sisters coming in a hurry and slapping the stone table.
"Junior brother!"
Ji You looked up at them and said, "Yes, I made a little fortune, but you can only treat us after I come back."
Ban Yangshu sat down on the stone bench, but he was not in a joking mood: "I think it is very necessary to tell you how dangerous Beiyuan and Xueyu are!"
Wen Zhengxin also frowned: "Junior brother, this is different from going to Lingjian Mountain. You will really die."
Then the two of them talked at once about what they knew about the situation outside the Great Wall, whether it was true or false, whether it came from information or hearsay, they just told it all at once.
For example, when an innate elixir came out in Beiyuan, it attracted many parties to scramble for it, and no one in the Tongxuan realm could survive.
For example, the unintelligent beasts were extremely powerful, bloodthirsty and cruel, which were things that Master Qin had never mentioned.
"Junior Brother Ji, you have already established a family in Fengzhou. There are plenty of opportunities to make money. Why are you so anxious?"
Wen Zhengxin nodded and took over Ban Yangshu's words: "Yes, maybe you don't want to exploit the people, but you can also rob the immortal manor, so you don't have to risk your life for the money."
Ji You looked at them for a while, and finally bowed forward: "Thank you, senior brothers and sisters, for telling me."
The two looked at each other and thought, does this make sense?
But at this moment, there was another knock on the door, and a disciple from the Head Office handed over a note, causing the two to temporarily stop persuading each other.
The note came from Kuang Cheng, asking him to have a chat.
"Brother and sister, I have to go down the mountain for a while. I will be back soon. I will listen to your continued conversation when I come back."
"What happened?"
"The reason why I was sent to escort the diplomatic corps was because Dou Yuankong wanted to stir up trouble. The reason might be because he had a grudge against a good friend of mine. I was afraid that he would be in trouble after I left, so I had to go and make some arrangements."
Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu looked at each other and realized that after saying so much, they still hadn't given up the idea of trying to get him to make the money.
He was actually still thinking about how to arrange for his good friend after leaving Beijing, so he was immediately arrested and taken to the outer courtyard to find Cao Jinsong.
Anyway, he hasn't left yet, so his good friend is fine for the time being.
The most important thing now is to dissuade him from making this money-grubbing decision so that everyone can be safe.
Afterwards, many people gathered in Cao Jinsong's yard. In addition to Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu, there were Bai Rulong, the two sisters of the Lu family, Sun Qiaozhi and others.
They were attracted here because they saw Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu bringing him here.
At this moment in the courtyard, Cao Jinsong, Wen Zhengxin, and Ban Yangshu all looked more serious than each other.
"Traitor!"
"?"
Cao Jinsong's beard flew in anger: "Do you know that your life is extremely valuable?"
Ji You walked over to sit on the stone bench and poured himself a cup of tea: "I only know that my time is very valuable."
"Isn't it the same? You have established a noble family and are the lord of Fengzhou, but why are you still easily lured by someone with money? Do you have any ambition at all?"
"With so much money in front of me, how can I not be tempted?"
Cao Jinsong snorted angrily: "That depends on the situation. Don't you understand how dangerous it is to escort an envoy to the demon tribe? If it were me, I wouldn't be tempted even if you gave me half of the Tianshu Academy."
Ji You took out the stack of banknotes from his arms and asked, "Did you move?"
Cao Jinsong's eyes widened: "Fuck, so many?!"
Ban Yangshu immediately poked Cao Jinsong when he heard this, and Cao immediately became serious: "Some money is easy to make, but some money is not easy to make."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ji You took a deep breath and put his hands on his knees. "I went to the Director's Office this morning. Qin Rong told me about the matter. He also said that the demon tribe is good in every way and that the beauties in the demon tribe all have plump buttocks."
Hearing this, Bai Rulong held his breath instantly.
On the day the freshman was admitted to the hospital, his purse was robbed and his vitality was severely damaged. He has not recovered until now.
Ji You then said, "Then he said that if I went, he would give me ten thousand taels of gold, plus three thousand Snow Region Demon Stones, and put them naked in front of me."
"So you agreed to go?"
"They didn't think it through. This was my fate."
Ji You dipped his hand in some tea and drew three connected territories on the table: "Look, Yunzhou is connected to the northern border, and my Fengzhou is on their east side."
Cao Jinsong frowned instantly, while Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu were slightly startled, as if they had realized something: "No, no, no, Hantie Pass is actually closer to Yunzhou. Even if it is breached, it will be Yunzhou that will suffer the impact instead of Fengzhou. Moreover, if that moment really comes, the seven great immortal sects will not sit idly by."
Ji You shook his head: "No, the closest one is not Yunzhou, because in the hearts of immortal cultivators, Fengzhou is closer."
"?"
"If the negotiations fail, the demons and barbarians will unite, and Hantie Pass will not last more than three days. Then... the enemy will enter the southern part of the northern border, and the human race will begin to panic. The immortal cultivators will decide to join the war. Between Yunzhou and Fengzhou, they will most likely choose to use the entire Fengzhou as a battlefield and set up numerous ambushes."
"Because there are many noble families in Yunzhou and spiritual mines are everywhere, the human race is unwilling to give it up, and Fengzhou is just a barren land with no end in sight, so even if it is lost, it will not have much impact."
"Of course, they won't inform the people of this news in advance. On the one hand, they don't care whether they live or die, and on the other hand, doing so will easily alert the enemy."
"Fengzhou is great. There are no aristocratic families or immortal sects here. It's simply a natural burial ground."
As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, and then looked at each other, realizing that if the demon tribe really formed an alliance with the barbarians, then everything would be as Ji You had guessed.
The disciples in the inner and outer courts said that he was stupid, greedy, and didn't know how dangerous the North Plains and the Snow Region were.
But what he saw was always greater danger.
Ji You looked at them and said, "Then Old Qiu died, Master Chen died, and those children died too. Everyone died, and I am the only one alive. There is another group of people who are even more unlucky. They were not originally in Fengzhou, but they escaped here because of my tax reduction and exemption. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a sinkhole."
Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan were stunned: "But even if you go, you can't do anything."
"There really is nothing we can do, but we can send a message back in advance so that those who need to escape can escape, or kneel down and beg the demon tribe, that's all."
Ban Yangshu raised his head: "Things may not be so bad."
Ji You looked at him and said, "But if the demon tribe didn't have this idea, why would they welcome the barbarian envoys so warmly?"
Hearing this, Ban Yangshu fell silent.
The fact is just as Ji You said, the two tribes of barbarians and monsters, who had never had any contact with each other before, started to have contact at this juncture, and their intentions are naturally self-evident.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
Ji You refilled the teacup with tea: "After hearing about this, many people always think that the money is too little, or it is not worth it, and say that it is worth going only if you are given a personal teaching. But my first thought is what about those people I know?"
"I just got a new home, and I haven't even started to live."
"People are actually afraid of death. When I was cultivating in Yuyang County, I was afraid of being discovered, so I covered the windows with black curtains every night. But this world is so rotten, so every time I get impulsive, I feel that there is nothing worth lingering on. I always have the idea of not caring about life and death, and just fighting if I don't accept it."
"Before something happens, there are still many things that can be done in the Tongxuan realm. It's a lucky thing that after something happens, it's just a disaster that can't be stopped."
"That night in Yuyang County, I also had two choices: to ask Fang Ruoyao for help or to break through on my own, but I have always been accustomed to keeping the direction of things in my own hands."
Ji You looked at them and said, "Then again, even if I don't go this time, will I go when a fight really breaks out in Fengzhou? Or can I still hide in Tianshuyuan and continue to cultivate in peace and tranquility?"
Wen Zhengxin was silent for a long time, then he raised his head and whispered, "You will definitely go to the war."
[The seven major immortal sects closed their mountain gates and activated the great protective formation. The young master of the immortal sect was originally cultivating and breaking through the realm, but one day, he suddenly came down the mountain to face the demons.]
[The sheep boy had his head chopped off, the old lady had her heart dug out, and Xiu Xiu was nailed to the wall.]
[She was a farmer's daughter, she was just average looking, rustic, not fairy-like.]
[Nailed to the city wall, like dry grass, swaying in the wind.]
【run……】
[Xiu Xiu was not dead yet. When she saw him, her last words were, "Run..."]
[Later, the young master of the Immortal Sect did not ascend to heaven, but died on the top of the city with wounds all over his body, and his body still stood stubbornly. ]
At this moment, her mind was filled with the story of that night in Qiling.
Because so much time had passed, the story had been forgotten, but now it is extremely clear.
Lu Qingqiu looked at Bai Rulong strangely at this time and found that he was gritting his teeth and muttering "Xiuxiu" with tears in his eyes, but he didn't know who Xiuxiu was.
But before he could ask, Ji You's voice rang in his ears again.
"If we face this disaster now, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we delay any further, we will surely die."
"Because if the demon tribe does not form an alliance with the barbarians, the risk of this trip will be much smaller. I am confident that I can escape back. If the demon tribe forms an alliance with the barbarians, I will definitely go to defend the city, so there is no difference."
"Actually, I've said so much just for my Dao heart. If anything goes wrong, I'll flee to Hantie Pass and join the army. I believe the Zhenbei Army will welcome someone like me who is at the Tongxuan realm."
"There are always two outcomes. It just depends on how people choose."
Cao Jinsong sighed at this time: "The attitude of the demon tribe now is indeed difficult to predict."
Ji You looked at the tea that was gradually drying up, and turned to look at Bai Rulong: "Immortal Rulong Emperor, I heard that the women of the demon tribe have round buttocks and tails, and they wobble when they walk. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"
Bai Rulong held his breath instantly, his eyes gleaming with light: "Is this true? Can I go and see?"
"Of course, if You can go, you can go too!"
"It's on fire, I'm going back to pack my bags now!"
Ji You looked at Cao Jinsong and said, "Look, even the Immortal Emperor Rulong is willing to risk his life for his buttocks. Isn't this something to be grieved about?"
Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu held their breath: "Bai Rulong, are you really not afraid of death?"
Bai Rulong frowned: "It's not like I will definitely die. If there is any danger, I will just frown and protect Brother Ji. But if I don't go, my Tao heart will not be clear..."
"Your Taoism is really low..."
At this moment, Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan couldn't help but turn their heads and subconsciously glanced at their buttocks.
Afterwards, Ji You got up and left Cao Jinsong's yard, then went down the mountain to Chunhua Lane.
Kuang Cheng was sitting in his room at this time, staring at the map of Kyushu hanging on the wall in a daze. There was no light in the room, so it seemed a little dark.
The matter of sending an envoy to the Snow Region Demon Tribe was handled by the Sixianjian, so he actually knew about this matter this morning, and he also looked at the list today.
The Pro-Immortal Faction had been in contact with the demon clan's envoys recently, and combined with what happened last night, he could probably guess what was going on.
However, whether it is Dou Yuankong or any other aristocratic family targeting him, it is not the most important thing at the moment.
"What are you looking at so seriously?"
Kuang Cheng turned around when he heard the voice, then stood up and said, "I have already asked the Supervisor for permission. I will go north with you, but I cannot leave Hantie Pass, so I can only wait at the top of the city."
Ji You looked at him for a long time: "I thought you were trying to persuade me earnestly not to be greedy for that little bit of money."
"That's not Brother Ji's real weakness."
"Don't think you understand me very well. That is indeed my weakness."
Kuang Cheng opened the box on the table, took out a dagger and handed it to Ji You: "I bought this on the street for five taels of silver."
Ji You took it and took a look: "Give it to me for protection?"
"No, this is for me. If Brother Ji is really in danger, I will die with Brother Ji inside the pass and accompany him on the road to the underworld."
"It's better not to. I'm afraid Wei Rui will dig up my grave."
Ji You rolled up his sleeves and said, "But it would be better if you go to the northern border and wait for me. At least Dou Yuankong won't be able to target you in the capital."
Kuang Cheng put the dagger into his waist and said, "It's a pity that I am just a mortal and cannot go with Brother Ji."
"It's not a good thing, why rush for it."
Ji You looked down at the table and found two books, one was "Ten Thousand Mountains" and the other was "Snowy Plains", which were placed on the right side of the dagger box.
These two books are about the customs and features of the barbarians and demons, and are said to have been recorded by a knight who risked his life.
"Are you looking at the information about the barbarians and the demons?"
Kuang Cheng nodded: "I looked at it for a long time, picked and chose, and sorted out all the information you might need."
Ji You lifted up his robe and sat on the futon: "Don't tell me, I really have something I want to ask you."
"Brother Ji, please feel free to speak."
"The demon tribe... are there really women with round buttocks and tails?"
"?"
