Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 823 – 4. Moving (Thank you to the Alliance Master of the Night of Mystery)

Chapter 823: 4. Moving (Thank you to the Alliance Master of the Night of Mystery)

Ding, ding, ding…

The sound of the twelve tin rings hitting the monk staff faded away.

The ascetic monk wore a smile on his face and walked away with his feet shackled.

Although he had lost an arm, and the pain was extremely intense, he was still in pain.

But no matter how painful it was,

How could it compare to the joy of obtaining this epiphany?

If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

“All dharma is empty and silent. Bodhi is motionless. Since there is no illusion, why is the heart uneasy?”

He chuckled. After he walked far away, he turned around and bowed three times.

At the same time, he also gave up on the idea of entering the house to see what the person looked like.

From the outside, he could sense that the person in the room was no different from an ordinary person. There was no fluctuation of energy.

However, after listening to a scripture and being severely reprimanded by that person, how could he not understand?

The person in the room should be a hermit expert, so he wouldn’t enter or peep.

At this moment, he was in seclusion. The 20 years of chaos in the world of mortals could be drawn to a full stop.

Autumn rain drizzles,

The cold wind blew through the streets and alleys, thousands of windows and hundreds of holes, making sounds that sounded like whimpers or hisses.

This was just a small town, a town on the edge of a country.

In this town, even Rank-5 martial artists who had just cultivated True Qi could already take up the position of Grand Inspector or become the commander of a hundred people to guard the town and defend against mountain bandits.

However, mountain bandits appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and there were even bandits who occasionally fled from other countries.

If the bandits were ferocious, it was very likely that they would bring about unpredictable consequences. It was even possible that they would be massacred in towns and villages.

However, every country had a tacit understanding in the aspect of catching thieves. They would also share information with each other, so it was rare for a country to have no experts to catch a big thief.

As for those who were labeled as bandits, they were usually the generals or kings of the bandits. Usually, as long as the bandits arrived, the various countries would send experts to block them or jointly attack them.

There was a limit to the number of patrols, but there were many martial artists in the pugilistic world or among the people. Therefore, the local government had the power to assign missions.

These missions were usually exploration, reconnaissance, or cooperation or assistance.

As for the reward, there was a base number, and then it would be increased or decreased according to the effect.

Other than the government, all the major factions and even private individuals could carry out this kind of “assignment” method.

However, if a private party wanted to issue a mission, they would need the government, a large force, or a reputable person to guarantee it.

What Miao Miao did was to assist the government in capturing thieves and earn remuneration.

And this was obviously a dangerous thing to do, because…Since you took the government’s money, you have to show off. Otherwise, if you keep cowering, the government won’t let you take on missions next time.

Pa ~~~

In the rain, there was a soft sound of the wooden fence opening and then closing.

Immediately after, a black shadow quickly walked across the courtyard and arrived under the eaves that only stretched out three to four inches.

He shook off the rainwater on his body, then hung his bamboo hat and gray rainproof cloak on the old yellow wooden wall.

Then, he didn’t enter the house. Instead, he sat in front of the threshold and took off two boots with his left hand. He poured out all the rainwater in the boots and shook them before putting them back on.

The figure’s right hand was always holding the sword hilt at her waist. No matter what she did, her right hand would always be able to pull out the sword at the fastest speed.

After doing all this, she heaved a sigh of relief and pushed open the door.”I’m back.”

The room was dark and there were no candles.

However, she was already used to it. Didn’t candles cost money?

Why would he light candles when he had nothing to do?

Unless she had obtained some important information or cultivation technique, she would be unable to endure it anymore. Only then would she lavishly light a candle and look at it at night. After all, she would have to go out during the day.

Missions were never completed in one go.

The government also tended to hire stable folk martial artists to do things, so missions came one after another and rarely ended.

To a certain extent, she was already equivalent to a patrol officer without any organization.

However, she soon saw the light in the corner.

Xia Ji was squatting beside the small stove to boil water.

He threw firewood into the iron stove, and the kettle on the stove had already begun to make gurgling sounds, like fish spitting bubbles.

A gentle voice was heard.

“You’re all wet. Take a shower.”

Miao Miao smiled, but it was just a smile. She was genuinely happy to see her only family member, but she was too tired. She was so tired that not only did she not want to talk, she did not even want to smile.

Her entire body exuded a terrifying chill, especially when she grabbed the sword. The chill was even stronger, making people understand that she had killed many people and was not to be trifled with.

However, the coldness of winter was like a sharp blade that had been sheathed when it entered the room.

Rustling sounds rang out in the darkness.

Miao Miao carefully took out two pieces of sesame seed cakes and a fist-sized oil-paper bag and placed them on the table. She said, “”The bread and meat are cold. Leave some hot water. Don’t pour it all into the wooden bucket.”

Xia Ji responded.

Miao Miao sat on the left side of the only hand-made wooden bench. She opened the oil paper bag and revealed some meat inside. Immediately, a faint fragrance of meat spread.

She gulped, but did not start eating. Instead, she took out the upside-down porcelain bowls and put a piece of salt into each bowl. The salt in the right bowl was obviously bigger.

Then, he poured some sesame oil.

At this moment, the water had already boiled.

Xia Ji poured the boiling water into a bowl to wash away the salt and oil before putting the kettle aside. He sat on the right side of the bench and urged, “” Hurry up and eat. Go take a shower after you’re done. Even martial artists will get cold. ”

Miao Miao only replied with an ” mm ” before taking a sesame seed cake and quickly eating it.

As she ate, she pushed the oilpaper bag toward Xia Ji. ” This meat is considered a trophy for the celebration. I want to buy some more usually. It’s expensive. ” You eat it. ”

Xia Ji looked at the girl on his left with the help of the dim light. He could vaguely recognize that this girl looked like Lu Miaomiao from his previous life.

However…

In this life, she was called Su Yuan, and he was called Su Mo.

When he knew this, he suddenly understood why Nine-Tailed Fox wanted to establish the Su family and not other families.

She missed herself.

While Xia Ji was still in a daze, Miao Miao had finished her meal. She quickly ran to the small cubicle on the west side with a water bottle and poured some cold water from the water tank outside the door into a wooden bucket before starting to heat up the water.

Soon, the curtain was closed.

The sound of clothes being undressed could be heard in the darkness.

The water rippled. If a fish entered the water, it would make a clear sound of breaking water, followed by a “Hua Hua” sound.

It was the girl behind the curtain wiping her body with hot water.

” Sis, let’s move, ” Xia Ji suddenly said. ” We need to change our names after we move. We can’t call them Su Yuan and Su Mo anymore. ”

“Hmm?”

A questioning voice sounded.

” We have a big enemy, ” Xia Ji said. ” He knows our names and where we live. If we don’t leave now, something bad will happen. ”

“You mean the royal family of the Crimson Wind Nation?”

The Crimson Wind Nation was a small kingdom that had destroyed the siblings ‘country. However, a long time had passed, and the Crimson Wind Nation had no intention of pursuing the siblings.

After all, there were many countries these days. It was common for dynasties to change. There were even countries that would perish after only one or two months.

“It’s not the Crimson Wind Nation,” Xia Ji said.

” So, there’s a letter from a thief threatening us? ”

“Not really.”

“What’s that?”
