Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 798 Autumn Wind
On the Mountain Sea Continent, the coolness of the sky is just an autumn wind.

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness, don't forget to add clothes when it's cold.

As the weather gets cooler day by day, many changes have taken place in Nanchu Danyang City.Some changes are good, and some changes are good or bad.

"I didn't expect that it has been a month since the end of the primary ceremony." Sitting in the Qing'an courtyard, Ji Jiashu drank chrysanthemum wine opposite Ji Qingyuan, put down the wine glass in his hand and looked around the somewhat bleak courtyard, and said with emotion.

"Indeed, it passed quickly," Ji Qingyuan said, "many practitioners from the north have already left for Southern Chu."

Soochow is located in the southeast of the Shanhai Continent, and it takes about a month's drive from Southern Chu, Former Qin, Middle Tang and Three Kingdoms.The distance between the Later Liao Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty was far away. Practitioners from these two countries who wanted to participate in the middle-level ceremonies and watch the battle basically did not return to their home countries, but went directly from Southern Chu.

"I heard that the date for the Intermediate Ceremony has been fixed," Ji Qingyuan looked at his younger brother across the table and asked seemingly casually.

He is not qualified to participate, let alone obtain such information.

"It's settled," Ji Jiashu said, looking at his brother opposite, "The opening ceremony is scheduled for the tenth day of November."

Today is the ninth day of October.

Hearing this, Ji Qingyuan paused his hand holding the wine glass, "Has your departure date been fixed yet?"

"Well," Ji Jiashu nodded, "it will be tomorrow."

"No wonder you came to drink with me today," Ji Qingyuan raised the wine glass that had stopped in mid-air for a while to his lips.

The wine in the glass is a bit bitter.

"Didn't I come here often these days?" Ji Jiashu smiled when he heard this, thinking that he was about to leave the mansion, he looked around the courtyard around him.

On the ground under the tree at the corner of the west courtyard, some blood can still be seen.

This was left when the woman operated on the man in the hospital that day.

After that, many things happened in the Qing'an Courtyard, and it was because of this that he felt that this month passed so quickly.

Smelling the aroma of chrysanthemums in the wine glass, Ji Jiashu took a deep breath,

Compared with other practitioners who were recharging their energy in Danyang City, everyone in Qing'an Academy still had a thrilling month, and he also formed a new habit because of this.

Ji Jiashu looked at his elder brother who was holding a scroll in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

These days, the biggest change that happened to him was that he started to visit Qing'an Yuan every day.His older brother also began to allow him in.

Thinking of this, Ji Jiashu's expression was a little subtle.

I don't know if this change is good or bad for them.

But anyway they started to get along like a pair of normal brothers.At first, they were a little cautious, but after facing a certain situation at the same time, the two suddenly had a tacit understanding, even if they were sitting opposite each other, they could do their own thing.

"You come here often," Ji Qingyuan looked away from the scroll, and looked at his younger brother who held a wine glass in one hand and twisted a sword in the other, "but you didn't come to see me."

It's just that the person he was looking for was not there, so this person waited with him in the yard for 20 days.

Hearing what his brother said, Ji Jiashu smiled, and looked across the east courtyard to a closed room in the west courtyard, "Has she run away again?"

"Yeah, I was still looking at the map in the morning, but just a quarter of an hour before you came, the breath disappeared."

Looking at the setting sun sinking inch by inch from the sky, the light in the courtyard dimmed. Ji Qingyuan closed the scroll, looked at Ji Jiashu and spoke helplessly.

"Maps..." Ji Jiashu's eyes paused slightly when he heard the words, and he looked at Ji Qingyuan and asked, "Brother, your maps... Has she finished reading all of them?"

Ji Qingyuan nodded when he heard the words, "Not only did I finish reading, but I also drew more than [-] pictures."

The young man couldn't hide his shock when he heard the words. After all, there were twelve volumes of maps and geographical records that Ji Qingyuan brought her that day. Ordinary people couldn't finish reading them even in three months, but she actually read them all?
Ji Jiashu still remembers that just over 20 days ago, on the day when Lou Xiaolou woke up for the first time after being seriously injured, Qing'an Hospital also received the big news that the former Queen of Qin was pregnant.

Originally, he was still worried about how Ying Baoyue would face this news of great significance to the former Qin royal family, but he did not expect that the girl walked out of the room, and the first thing she did was to borrow something from Ji Qingyuan.

The people in the yard looked at her aggressive appearance and thought she was going to borrow something, but they didn't expect that Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Qingyuan and said seriously.

"Qingyuan, I want to borrow all the maps and geographies around the Three Realms of Qin, Chu and Wu."

On the Shanhai Continent, the former Qin, Southern, Chu, Eastern and Wu kingdoms border each other.The terrain of the three countries themselves is not complicated, but the terrain at the junction of the three countries is very complicated.

Desperate places like Yunmengze Lancanghai Cloud and Mist Forest are all located at the junction of these three countries.

Ji Jiashu could probably guess what Ying Baoyue wanted these maps for.However, if ordinary practitioners want to find out the way to Soochow, they can directly check the official road map.

After Emperor Qin Taizu established the Qin Empire, he implemented the system of vehicles with the same track and books with the same text, built a large number of official roads, and mapped them into books.This policy can be said to be a descendant of Heze. Even though the Qin Empire is gone now, the official roads are still preserved, and every family has a map of the official roads, so it is very convenient to travel and search.

But what Ying Baoyue asked Ji Qingyuan was not the official road map, but all the maps and geographical records of the border area of ​​the Three Kingdoms.

Ji Jiashu's first reaction was...can she finish watching?
You must know that there are not many things in Ji Qingyuan's yard, but there are many books.

Although their father didn't allow Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange to go out since they were young, they didn't treat them harshly in terms of food and clothing. As long as they asked for something, someone would buy it for them and send it to Qing'an Yuan.

And Ji Jiashu knew from an early age that his big brother didn't like luxury, and his biggest hobby was buying books.And because he couldn't go out to choose books in person, Ji Qingyuan basically asked his servants to transport them one by one when he bought books.As much as the bookstore releases, Ji Er will bring him back as much as possible.

Because he was not allowed to practice, Ji Qingyuan has been immersed in books since he was a child.I don't know if he rarely has the opportunity to go out. Among the books brought back by his servants, Ji Qingyuan loves to collect maps and geography. It can be said that he has traveled all over the mountains and seas in the books.

The maps and geography that Ji Jiashu saw his elder brother when he was a child filled eighteen large book boxes, which is amazing.Although what Ying Baoyue wanted was only from the border area of ​​the Three Kingdoms, he believed that the quantity would not be small.

Sure enough, Ji Qingyuan was stunned when he heard Ying Baoyue's words, but obediently took the boy to his study, and brought out a large box in a quarter of an hour, which contained twelve volumes of books.

What made Ji Jiashu even more unexpected was that Ying Baoyue was not frightened by the volume of these books, but took all the albums as they were ordered.After ordering Guili and Guichen to take good care of Lou Xiaolou, she carried the bookcase into Ji Ange's study, and did not come out of it for three days and three nights.

Ji Jiashu was worried that she would lose her mind and pass out in the study after reading the map, so she came to the Qing'an Academy every day to report, sitting in the yard drinking tea and practicing sword arts.

Of course he was not alone, he had several tea friends.

But soon he discovered that the girl was doing more than just looking at a map in the house.

That incident started on the fourth day.

That day, while drinking tea, Ji Jiashu suddenly found that... the girl in the room had disappeared.

"It's getting dark again today," Ji Jiashu looked at Ji San and Ji Ange's maids who were busy lighting lamps in the yard after the sun set, and sighed slightly, "Zhaohua should have caught it, right?"

"It should be almost there. I found it in time, and Mr. Zhaohua traveled so fast," Ji Qingyuan looked at a map spread out on the table with the help of a lit lantern.A small red flower was drawn with a cinnabar brush on a wilderness ridge to the west of the above.

This unique brushwork can tell who painted it at a glance.

"Today there is only the last road left, Xihe, and she should give up," Ji Qingyuan sighed as he looked at the little red flower.

"Give up?" Ji Jiashu heard the words and looked at the last quarter moon rising in the sky.

In a sense, that girl was the most irrelevant cultivator he had ever seen.

……

……

At this time, thirty miles west of Danyang City, under a mountain named Xihe, there were also people looking up at the rising moon.

The moonlight is beautiful, but the girl slowly moved her gaze down, only to see the moonlight shining on a bronze mask, emitting a faint light.

Ying Baoyue withdrew her gaze and looked at the man in Tsing Yi who stood in her way.

"Finished the road scouting?"

Standing in front of her, Li Ji looked at her with dark eyes in the mask and said, "Go back."

　Laughed by the division of labor of these people.

　　Guess how many times Baoyue was blocked.

　　In fact, it's not that she is not capable enough, but that this group of people has cooperated as a team.The inside story is that Ji Qingyuan looked for a book to guess where she was running, Ji Jiashu blocked the gate, and Li Ji, who had the highest level, went out to find someone.
