The First Sword

Chapter 26 Sentinel

Yan Ji suddenly fell silent, stood in the hut, bowed his head and said no words, and gradually loosened his clenched fist.

In the cabin, it was extremely quiet, and only the breathing of the two men could be heard.

For a long time, Xiao Yi broke his silence: "It's very late now. You go back first, otherwise it will make people suspicious."

Yan Ji nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first. Take care of yourself."

After he turned around, he also heard Xiao Yi say, "You should also take care. You must be careful and don't be reckless."

Yan Ji said "um" and left the room.

The next day, the morning sun rose eastward.

Yan Ji listened to the sound of the morning gathering, hurriedly got up and dressed and washed. Du Xing, who was slowly dressed, saw that Yan Ji's eyes were full of blood and looked energetic. He asked, "Xiaoyan, why didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yan Ji smiled indifferently and said, "I don't know why I woke up in the middle of the night, and then I couldn't sleep anymore."

Du Xing grinned and said, "That's because you have too many worries! I often look at you with a lot of worries. It's good to think less about annoying things. Relax.

Yan Ji smiled and nodded to Du Xing.

On this day, Yan Ji began to accept the position of villa patrol. Ying Longtang, senior disciples should spend most of their time practicing Taoism. Those affairs of carrying water, chopping firewood, patrolling and defense are naturally undertaken by these new disciples.

Yan Ji was assigned the position of "patrol", led by a senior disciple, to patrol back and forth at various checkpoints and fortresses in Yinglong Villa. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Yan Ji. He can use patrols to find out the checkpoint route inside Yinglong Villa.

Yan Ji was led by a disciple of Ying Longtang named "Zhao Yi" to inspect various levels. He is quite familiar with this person. The news that Master Guangyi Zhenren was imprisoned in Yinglong Villa was learned from this population.

Taking advantage of the patrol, Yan Ji saw the whole scene of Yinglong Villa for the first time.

In the villa, there are clear springs and stars; rockeries and stone forests are scattered among the pools; the avenues are paved with bluestone slabs, and the paths are covered with slippery pebbles, criscrossed.

Between the rockery and stone forests, there are green pines and cypresses. The pavilions for people to live are either built on an island in the middle of the lake or on a rockery, connecting the bluestone road with small bridges and stone steps.

The construction style of the whole villa is like a Jiangnan garden with small bridges and flowing water.

It seems that the person who built Yinglong Villa was also quite elegant and likes mountains and rivers.

When they came to a stone arch bridge across the lake, Zhao Yi and Yan Ji faintly heard a few sonophony piano sounds. When they got closer, they could hear that the piano sound was very elegant and touching. The tone was soft, and the wind tone in the song seemed to have the meaning of mountains and flowing water.

Hearing the sound of the piano, Yan Ji couldn't help but remember the past when he learned to play the piano with his master in the Qingzhu Cave in Bagong Mountain. Now, after he learned to play the piano, he hasn't practiced for two or three years. I'm afraid a skill has long been strange, and it's not as good as before.

He is eager to revenge, and Yan Ji has no intention to practice these tedious skills, so that the four skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are unfamiliar.

In the small building in the heart of the lake, there is a pink pine woman sitting calmly and concentratessing on the piano. Her eyes are bright, her eyebrows and nose are trimmed, and there is a pear vortex on her cheeks. She is really beautiful and unparalleled, like the graceful beauty of a woman in the south of the Yangtze River.

Next to the pink woman who stroked Qin, there was also a girl in blue, dressed in a green shirt as a tight dress, revealing her beautiful and plump figure lines. This green-shirted girl is about 17 or 18 years old, with a round goose egg face, dark eyes, white and red cheeks, and a lively breath of youth.

When Zhao Yi saw the two women, his eyes immediately glowed, slowed down his pace, and stared at the two beautiful women.

He did not forget to introduce to Yan Ji: "The one in pink is Su Hui, and Yang Zhong, the head of the hall, is her uncle; the one in blue clothes, Luo Bing, is the sister of Luo Changjian, the deputy head of the hall."

Yan Ji thought about it in his mind. It seems that most of the deputy head Luo Changjian is the man surnamed Luo who attacked Qixuanmen.

In the middle of the lake, Su Hui and Luo Bing found two men looking at them from afar. Luo Bing glanced at Su Hui, who was dedicated to stroking the piano, and smiled, "Su Damei's beauty is really charming! Every time a patrol disciple passes by, he has to look at you a few times. As long as it is a man, he will be fascinated by you.

Su Hui's face turned red and slightly shy. The movements in her hands suddenly stopped and said angrly, "You damn girl can talk nonsense!"

Luo Bing looked at Su Hui's face blushing slightly and couldn't help but feel funny and joked, "Ha! Is the beauty still blushing? I'm going to catch those two guys now. Let's see if they are handsome. Let's choose one to be a lover.

After saying that, her figure turned into a blue light and flew quickly towards the stone arch bridge where Yan Ji and Zhao Yi were located.

Zhao Yi stopped listening to the sound of the piano and immediately found that it was not good. It seemed that most of them had noticed that someone was looking at them. At that moment, they immediately winced at Yan Ji and wanted to leave quickly.

Luo Bing's figure appeared behind Yan Zhao and the others like a ghost. One hand quickly subdued Zhao Yi and grabbed the clothes on his back. The other hand was reaching out to Yan Ji, but Yan Ji quickly took a step back and dodged.

Luo Bing did not doubt Yan Ji's skills and identity. He just regarded him as his quick reaction and smiled at him and said, "You guys reacted quite quickly!" With that, he left Zhao Yi and wanted to subdue Yan Ji, intending to take Yan Ji and Zhao Yi to the small building in the center of the lake together.

Yan Ji didn't know why the blue-shirted woman suddenly flew to him and fought with him, thinking that the woman had found her true identity and wanted to be captured.

He was about to sacrifice the rainbow sword to resist, but he was suddenly stopped in front of him by Zhao Yi and begged Luo Bing, "Miss Luo has a lot. Let us go. We are not to offend your beauty. We are just attracted by the beautiful sound of the piano, so we listened carefully for a while."

Luo Bing clearly wrote the word "I don't believe" on his face, and said with a smile, "You lie to me!" I don't believe that you men don't covet Su Hui's beauty.

At this point, Yan Ji knew that the woman did not find his identity, but blamed herself for blaspheming her beautiful face and wanted to teach her a lesson.

The bottom of Yan Ji's ups and downs finally fell quietly. It turned out to be just a false alarm.

When Zhao Yi saw that Luo Bing didn't believe it, he hurriedly argued, "No! We are really attracted by the sound of the piano. I'm telling the truth.

Luo Bing still didn't believe his words. He immediately rubbed his fists and said with a smile, "Are you telling the truth? Do you want me to punch you twice before you tell the truth? Do you covet Su Hui's beauty? If so, I will take you to let Sister Su Hui see if she can accept you.

Zhao Yi knew very well that Su Hui, a young lady with status and status, could not look at him as an ordinary disciple. Most of them would be ridiculed and waved to Luo Bing repeatedly, "No, no..."

Luo Bing took a step forward, raised her pink fist and smiled, "Yes or not?"

When Yan Ji saw this woman forcing others to ask others so much, she was quite bored and couldn't help saying, "They said there was none. Why didn't you forgive the questioning? Do you think men are all perss? Or do you think you are really good-looking?"

Luo Bing was electrocuted, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She muttered, "Am I ugly? No wonder big brother doesn't talk to me. She frowned, but she didn't want to believe that she was ugly. She asked Yan Ji, "Do you... mean I'm ugly?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, pressed Yan Ji with a pretty face and asked tightly, "Am I really ugly?" Tell me, am I good-looking?" Her face was not without anger, but showed a trace of sadness and inferiority.

Yan Ji has never been questioned like this by a young woman, but her pretty face kept leaning in front of her. She couldn't wait to put her face on her face and smell her faint body fragrance, but she looked in a trance, at a loss, and hesitated: "You...uh...you are very..."

Zhao Yi, behind Luo Bing, couldn't answer Yan Ji's doubts for a long time, and was so anxious that he sweated. Don't say that this young lady is beautiful. Even if she really looks better than Dong Shi, she should follow the principle of "flattery and praise", and never offend them.

Zhao Yi suddenly came up with a way and quickly said the mouth shape of the four words "Quickly say it's good".

Yan Ji immediately understood and said to Luo Bing, "You are very beautiful."

After listening to this, Luo Bing lowered his head slightly shyly and raised the corners of his mouth with joy.

Zhao Yi took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly said, "My subordinates still have official business, so it's inconvenient to stay." Then he pulled Yan Ji away quickly.

After going far away, Zhao Yi's ups and downs eased and sighed to Yan Ji, "Brother! I really admire you. How dare you talk to that young lady like this? She is the sister of the vice-in-law. She can't afford to offend her.

Yan Ji is not deeply involved in the world, and he is not as smooth as Zhao Yi. He said "Oh" as if he was taught, "Next time I'd better go around them."

Zhao Yi took a long breath and nodded, "I'm going to walk around them. Su Hui is still a delicate and delicate beauty, but Luo Bing..." He suddenly swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed twice and said, "No more, patrol quickly."

Although the position of patrol does not consume physical strength, the patrol time is quite long. It is not until late at night that you can end the inspection and go back to your room to rest.

Just after Hai, Zhao Yi felt sleepy, yawned, and said to Yan Ji, "You walk slowly along the route first. I'll find a thatch for convenience and catch up with it immediately."

Yan Ji did not know Zhao Yi's real intention. The position of patrol is relatively simple and easy. As long as the enemy invades the villa, these patrols will not be guilty of dereliction of duty.

Since the establishment of Yinglong Villa, it has never encountered the danger of the enemy's attack on the mountain. It has been peaceful all year round. For so long, some patrols began to hide in the dark to rest and be lazy after nightfall.

Yan Ji walked alone on the road, crossed a mahogany bridge on the lake, and entered a garden. The grass fragrance in this garden was overflowing, quiet and secluded, and the curved paths were all paved with pebbles.

There is a pavilion not far from the pebble path. There is a dark yellow light under the pavilion, but the sequoia girl who often looks at Yanji behind her can see her sitting at the stone table of the pavilion with a white lantern, with a dark puppy lying on the table.

The sequoia girl held the two front paws of the little black dog in both hands and whispered to it what was on her mind.

How lonely is a person? How lonely do you want to be? Only then will you tell a dog what's on your mind?

Is it when you can't even find someone who can talk?
