Chapter 13 Su Daji

Yang Jian communicated with the magic eye: "Look at what kind of ghost that woman is inside. I was trapped in my inner demon just now and almost couldn't get out."

"92, 60, 94"

The demon eye between the eyebrows opened a crack briefly, and then reported a bunch of strange numbers.

Yang Jian didn't know what it was at first, but when he came to his senses he cursed in his heart.

Devil Eye: "Do you really think I'm the Eye of Breaking Delusion? I gave myself a name, the Killing Devil Eye, isn't it cool!"

Yang Jian was just about to reprimand him.

I noticed that the faint fragrance coming from the carriage suddenly became stronger.

He looked back and was suddenly stunned.

The veiled woman got down from the carriage with the help of her maid.

Walking straight towards Yang Jian.

The veiled woman has only a pair of eyes exposed, her eyebrows are like distant mountains and her eyes are full of spring waves.

Just by looking at her eyes, you can tell that she is a peerless beauty.

The journey was bumpy and rugged.

Yang Jian immediately felt that what the Demon Eye said was true.

But no matter how beautiful Su Daji was, anyone who touched her would die, and he had no intention of dealing with her at all.

"Why is Master Yang unwilling to have a meal with my daughter? My daughter is not a demon, so why should you avoid her like a snake or scorpion?"

Yang Jian looked at his nose with his eyes and closed his eyes and focused his heart, pretending not to hear anything and looking around.

"Where's the cat? Oh no, my cat is lost."

He pretended to be anxious and was about to escape.

But I felt someone grabbing my arm.

"Where do you want to go? Don't you see our young lady is asking you a question?"

The maid who had invited Yang Jian earlier grabbed Yang Jian's arm and questioned him, while saying to the servant beside him: "Go and get his cat back."

Yang Jian had no choice but to turn around and said: "I am of low status and dare not disturb the young lady."

"Hmm~"

Su Daji suddenly giggled, and even though she was covered by a veil, she still stroked her cheek with her bare hands, trying to hide her rude smile.

The white and tender palms have slender fingers, like natural white jade, with cardamom red dotted on the fingertips.

Yang Jian glanced at it casually.

Hmm~ I didn’t see it clearly, let me take another look.

Then he couldn't help but keep glancing at her. He thought he finally saw what a peerless beauty looked like. Even if she only showed a pair of hands, it was enough to make people have dirty thoughts.

Su Daji raised her hand, and Yang Jian couldn't help but look into her eyes.

She stared at Yang Jian intently and continued the previous topic: "Some people are noble because of their distinguished family background. Some people may not have a distinguished family background, but their handsome face makes people feel that their family background is insignificant."

"you are right!"

Yang Jian agreed with Su Daji's statement.

"I wonder how you know my daughter's name? I have been staying at home. If she was worried about her father getting hurt before, she would not have gone out this time."

"Guess!"

"Then you and I are really in tune with each other. I wonder what else you can guess~"

Yang Jian's heart was filled with alarm, but he smiled without saying anything.

The servants spread silk between the two of them, placed exquisite bronze tableware and food in front of them, filtered impurities from the wine with a strainer, and then poured wine from the jug.

Su Daji was a little surprised by Yang Jian's reaction. She frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. Yang Jian didn't notice.

She took the lead in picking up the wine glass: "The road ahead is dangerous, but with Master Yang here, I feel at ease. I will drink first as a sign of respect, and I hope Master Yang will take good care of me."

Yang Jian originally wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the food made him salivate. He hadn't eaten good food in more than ten years, and his Adam's apple kept moving as he swallowed his saliva.

Thinking that a meal was no big deal, he stopped refusing and drank the wine in one gulp.

The two of them sat opposite each other and ate, and both the host and the guest were very happy for a while.

"Hey~"

Zheng Lun sat on the fire-eyed golden-eyed beast, looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman chatting excitedly, and sighed.

"General, please have some porridge."

A soldier at the side handed over a bowl of thick porridge.

Zheng Lun took it and his purple face was reflected in the bowl. He shook his head and said, "Ah~". "Young Master Yang, don't be obsessed with beauty. You will know that life is short. Only by seeking the truth and becoming an immortal can you enjoy the happiness of having many wives. Someone like me would not be obsessed with beauty. I miss you~"

Zheng Lun looked at Yang Jian, who was full of vigor and vitality and came back with Hei Ye in his arms, and reminded him.

"I wonder if Senior Brother has become an immortal?"

Yang Jian asked casually, just in time to confirm his current level of physical strength.

Zheng Lun's originally purple face suddenly turned black, as if two white lights would burst out of his nostrils in the next second. He said unhappily: "No, it's just the realm of refining spirit and returning to emptiness."

At the end, he added: "In less than ten years, I will definitely become an immortal."

Yang Jian was really confused when he saw Zheng Lun's intense reaction.

Then he thought that his current state had reached the stage of refining qi and transforming spirit, generating magical power.

He was only one realm lower than Zheng Lun, but because he didn't know any magic, he was chased and beaten by Zheng Lun.

In the end, he had to rely on the physical enhancement power brought by the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art to deal with it.

The only way to win is to use up the opponent's energy and win in hand-to-hand combat.

So he asked curiously, "Brother Zheng, where can I learn magic?"

"Didn't Senior Shen Gongbao teach you? He is a top disciple of Yuxu Palace, one of the best in the world, with numerous magic skills~"

Zheng Lun had a confused look on his face, but he was like a chatterbox and couldn't stop talking, and he had to be interrupted by Yang Jian.

"Master only taught me the cultivation method. As for magic, he had to go back to the mountain before I could teach him any more."

While Yang Jian said this, he was thinking in his heart, you damn Shen Gongbao, I'm so unlucky to have met you.

He didn't dare say these words out loud, because the Hei Ye in his arms was not just a decoration.

Zheng Lun waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The one leading the army this time is Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of Shang Dynasty. His background is remarkable~"

He started a long speech again, mostly about how he was an outstanding disciple of the third generation of Jiejiao, whose mount was the mythical beast Black Qilin, and he held two golden whips in his hands, and that he studied under one of the most powerful masters in the world, the Golden Spirit Mother~~.

Finally, he got to the point: "As long as you kill the enemies well and gain the appreciation of Master Wen, you can have any magical powers you want!"

After saying this, he patted the Fire Eyes Golden Eyes Beast sitting on it and said, "This is the reward from Grand Master Wen for my previous bravery in killing the enemy."

Yang Jian nodded half-believingly. The way Zheng Lun talked so eloquently made it hard not to suspect that he was just making empty promises. He was already feeding you with empty promises before anything was even started.

The grain team is stationed here and will not move forward until tomorrow morning.

Yang Jian endured Zheng Lun's bombardment until midnight.

Zheng Lun just talked a lot and went to bed feeling unsatisfied.

Yang Jian was no longer sleepy after hearing what he said, and could only stare at the familiar yet unfamiliar stars above his head.

What Zheng Lun just said was not entirely nonsense.

Yang Jian learned some very important information. The town where he had stayed before was isolated from the outside world, and the highest-ranking official who knew about it was Jizhou Hou Su Hu.

As for who the current monarch of the Shang Dynasty was, as well as important information such as major events in the world, he knew nothing about it.

The current monarch of the Shang Dynasty is Emperor Yi, who is in his prime.

The heir was Weizi Qi, which means the crown prince in later generations.

The future King Zhou, or the third son of Emperor Yi, Zishou had not yet succeeded to the throne.

This means that there is still some time before the great catastrophe of Conferred Gods.

He still has a chance to continue developing.

As for the reason why the princes' army besieged the northern barbarians, it was because all the princes or barbarians who paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty were deprived of the right to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and could only offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

Every year they would pay tribute of thousands or tens of thousands of young and strong men to serve as human sacrifices to Chaoge, and together they would offer sacrifices to heaven and earth during the great sacrifices of the human race.

No one knows what's wrong with the northern barbarians this year. The human sacrifices that were supposed to be offered as tribute have not arrived yet, and the great human sacrifice is approaching.

If the barbarians are unwilling to provide these human sacrifices, then we will have to ask more from the seventy-two princes in the northern border.

But young and strong manpower is always valuable, and whoever contributes more will be weakened.

If that prince becomes weak, it’s hard to say whether he will still have his head next year.

Therefore, these 72 princes nominated the largest prince in the north, Yuan Futong, Marquis of Beihai, and sent him to Chaoge to petition, expressing their willingness to gather an alliance to conquer the northern barbarians.

Emperor Yi sent Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to lead the army of 72 princes to expedition to the northern barbarians.

But why did Su Daji appear now?

Yang Jian looked at the carriage that Su Daji was riding in with confusion.

Is there any conspiracy behind this?
Suddenly, a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a pitch-black hole in which nothing could be seen.

Yang Jian quickly turned his head and turned over, pretending to be asleep.
