Chapter 345: Little Junior Sister Sweating
Lin Jue glanced at the medical officers, secretaries, etiquette officers and translators and simply ignored them.
After glancing at the weak envoy lying on the bed, he walked straight to the stove, looked at the medicine in the pot, picked up some of the residue, crushed it and smelled it, then sat down again and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Tsk..."
The tea has a complex flavor, with butter and saltiness.
Lin Jue took a sip, then put down the cup and chatted with the envoy like a friend: "What do you think is the chance of a war between Dajiang and Dazu?"
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then sighed and replied:
"If you ask me, war is almost inevitable. It is just a matter of time. This is not something we can decide, nor can it be decided by my king, nor even by Dazu. It is decided by the North and the Central Plains together."
"Your Excellency means..." Lin Jue smiled and looked at him, "Do you still want to blame Da Jiang for his weakness?"
"It's not strange, but it has been like this since ancient times. When the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will definitely send troops to the north. Once the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, the northern countries will not hold back." Zheng Shi was so weak that he seemed to lack the strength to open his eyes, so he simply closed his eyes. "This kind of thing cannot be explained in a few words, let alone solved. Otherwise, the Central Plains Dynasty had so many saints and emperors, and there were so many emperors and Buddhas in the sky, and the war would have been stopped long ago! But everyone wants to stop the war, but no one can do it."
"..."
Lin Jue frowned and recalled the words of the two immortals who saw through the mortal world on Tiandu Peak.
Even gods have their own frustrations.
Today, Jiang is facing internal and external troubles, people are worried about monsters, and even the gods are fighting each other. I am afraid that it will not last many years.
The envoy paused for a moment and continued:
"We came here this time only to test the strength of Dajiang, to see how many brave men, how many extraordinary people, and how many wise and treacherous officials there are. The real person knows this, the emperor of Dajiang knows it, and the knowledgeable people in the court and the public can also see it."
"I have already said that I will not kill you. Why do you have to say such words to beg for your life?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back alive, cough cough..."
"Maybe. But if you have such courage and magnanimity, you will definitely be a wise minister of Dazu and a great threat to Dajiang if you go back." Lin Jue said this but shook his head, "It depends on your luck."
That’s all for today.
There was no need to explain it too clearly. It was just an exchange of attitudes. The deaths of these people were also an explanation to him. Lin Jue stood up, stepped over the corpses upstairs, and prepared to leave.
Then the Dazu envoy heard a cough:
"Ahem, if I go back, I will report the truth. My king is wise and knows that Dajiang still has capable warriors. There will be a few more years of peace. You spared my life today. What I can tell you is that as long as Dajiang does not cause internal strife and does not continue to become weaker and more absurd, my king will not easily send troops. But if Dajiang is in strife, let alone killing me, even if you kill my king, there is no way to stop the war."
"My name is Lin Jue. I want to inform you that none of those mage warriors survived today. If you want revenge, you can come find me again."
"Cough cough!!"
I was coughing violently.
The Taoist went straight downstairs.
Several medical officers, secretaries, painters, etiquette masters, and translators finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two men were talking calmly just now, as if they were having an ordinary chat, but in fact, during this process, the several envoys who had just committed suicide were still twitching on the ground and even bleeding. The conversation was taking place in such a scene, and the envoy and the man seemed not to see it, but they could not ignore it.
Even because of this, this apparently ordinary conversation seemed to have an extremely strong pressure that made them breathless.
It seemed as if they shouldn't have been involved in such a scene.
"The envoy! That person..."
The envoy was still coughing violently, and he knew what they meant without having to listen to them.
The court of Dajiang was weak and incompetent, but outside the court there were still many capable and brave people.
"Ahem... I can't go back! Hurry up and bring me paper and pen to help me up. If I die on the road, the letter must be delivered to the king personally..."
Someone immediately came over with a pen and paper.
……
After Lin Jue went out, he also sighed.
Since ancient times, there have been many demons in troubled times. A chaotic world is also a shortcut for demons and ghosts to practice. If the world is in chaos and the people are in great disaster, I don’t know how many demons and ghosts will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
Breaking up and reuniting, fighting again and again, this cycle has happened countless times over the past few hundred years. I wonder how the celestial beings above the nine heavens and the ancient immortals in the mountains, who have longevity, think about this.
I don't know how they can take it so lightly.
The two people in Yishan seemed to have become indifferent.
Anyway, Lin Jue can't let it go for the time being.
Because he has not yet transcended the secular world, his old friends and relatives are still alive and will be troubled by the great disaster that will happen to the world.
Take it easy, he hasn't seen it yet.
He led the fox through the streets and alleys and returned to the yard.
It seemed that it didn't take long before the corpses in the yard were cleared away. The police and officials from the yamen stood there holding torches, their eyes and mouths wide open. The scene before them was beyond their understanding and beyond their authority to handle, so they were all at a loss.
When it comes to things, they are naturally indisputable.
This is the property of Juxian Mansion, where Master Lin lives. Juxian Mansion and the highly respected Tianshi Fan and Lord Pan in the capital also live here. In the middle of the night, almost all the Dazu magicians and warriors came here, bringing magic tools and weapons. The sound of fighting was heard in at least two streets, and everyone knew what was going on. But once diplomacy is involved, it is no small matter.
Even the simplest things can become extremely complicated.
When they saw Lin Jue coming back, some people looked at him as if they had seen a savior.
"Thank you."
Lin Jue first thanked Wan Xinrong and the others, then walked up to the stunned magistrate and said, "The magistrate can send someone to Dazu Pavilion to ask the envoy of Dazu. I have already talked to him. He is a very smart man. He has explained to me. The magistrate can get the answer from him."
“Oh… yes, yes…”
The magistrate finally came to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in response.
He immediately called the county lieutenant and selected several constables to go to Dazu Pavilion to ask the envoy what was going on.
But with just one word from Master Lin, he was no longer worried.
But Lin Jue ignored him and went straight back to the house.
The junior sister was just a thug and didn't like dealing with people, so she sat quietly on the cushion in the quiet room, avoiding the worries outside. When she saw him come in, she took out a pile of magical instruments from under the table, placed them all on the table, and pushed them towards Lin Jue.
Under the light, it was dazzling.
"Brother, this is the magic weapon I saw them use. I hid it and did not hand it over to the government. Brother, what do you think we should do?" said the younger sister.
"If Junior Sister wants anything, take it."
“There is no one suitable for me.”
"Then keep it."
Lin Jue lowered his head and looked carefully——
There was a silver pot, I remember it could blow out charming mist, which was somewhat similar to the bell of my junior sister. However, the fox could also spit out this charming mist, so the degree of overlap was very high.
There was a scimitar, and I remember it could produce flames, but it wasn't very powerful, but it could cure evil spirits.
Lin Jue picked it up and took a look at it, testing its sharpness. It seemed that the charm of the scimitar was only in the flame. From the perspective of the scimitar itself, it could only be regarded as a good knife made by an ordinary good craftsman, not to the point of being able to cut through iron like mud.
This type of weapon is generally an ordinary weapon, but after being used by some people with great cultivation, it has become extraordinary with a touch of magic.
There is a handful of bone beads, I don't know what they are used for.
There is an umbrella that can block flying sword spells, which is quite useful.
"It just so happens that we have to go back to Yishan later. I wonder if the senior brother has accepted any disciples. If so, how many disciples he has accepted? We can't go back empty-handed. Then we can say that we sent them off together."
"right!"
The junior sister immediately understood.
Then I broke out in a cold sweat.
She remembers clearly—
When she and her senior brother first met the Second Uncle, the Second Uncle gave them a paper donkey, which they have been using until now. Later, when they met the other uncles, although they did not give them any treasures, it was because their master had passed away and they were in a hurry to go out and were also busy with the funeral, so they only gave them some advice.
And what the Second Uncle gave them was obviously not only a paper donkey, but also a tradition, a teaching by example.
Their uncle treated them like this back then, so how could they go empty-handed if they met their nephew?
The little sister recalled the scene when she met her nephew, but because she had not prepared in advance, she could not take out anything...
If there was only one nephew, she could still give him the whisk with reluctance. If there were two nephews, even though she had developed feelings for the Soul-Bewitching Bell, which could only be used when fighting alone, she could still give it up with reluctance. At most, she would be secretly heartbroken for half a month after returning. But if there were three nephews, she would absolutely not be able to give away the beloved sword in her hand. Wouldn't she be so ashamed by then?
so far so good……
Brother is really thoughtful!
In just a short while, the little sister found that her back was wet with cold sweat, and she was even more tired than the fight just now.
"Nothing to do tonight. There may be some trivial matters tomorrow, but I don't think there will be too many." Lin Jue said, "Go and have a rest."
"it is good!"
The junior sister stood up and went out.
Lin Jue stood outside for a while and then returned to his room.
The next day, there were indeed some trivial matters.
But as expected, the envoy was smart. He knew that Lin Jue came last night to demand an explanation and results. The dead envoy was the explanation, and today's words were the results.
The magistrate of Wan'an County came in person and told Lin Jue that the chief envoy had already explained that he was seriously ill, and the other envoys were blinded by their own interests and bewitched the Dazu Master and the Warriors to steal and rob Lin Jue's swallow egg incense at night. Now the Master and the Warriors are all dead, and the envoys who planned it are also dead, which not only gave an explanation to the Dajiang court, but also saved Lin Jue's trouble and saved his own life.
There is always an explanation for this kind of thing, and no one will pursue it openly.
