Great Zhou Tianzi

The situation in the north was changing, and the Sima family in the hinterland of the grassland had a problem. Sima Xueran received a message from her family, asking her to go back as soon as possible.

At this moment, both Zhaocheng and Tuolongguan are inseparable from Sima Xueran. At the beginning, Ji Jie didn't think why his teacher, Guiguzi, would send such a junior sister to help. It is so simple to kill the enemy head-on, she has the management ability that ordinary people don't have, and has a huge family intelligence network as the backing, so she is a rare good helper.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid I really have to go back!" Sima Xueran did not deliberately hide it, and said, "The issue of the succession of the next head of the Sima family has not been resolved for a long time, and several factions are secretly fighting. A new height, as the eldest daughter of one of the factions, I cannot stay out of it!"

This is troublesome. Although a large number of low-level officials have been trained during this period of time, all affairs are handled in an orderly manner, but without Sima Xueran as the coordinator, it is still unknown whether there will be problems.

"How long will it take?" Ji Jie was very concerned.

"It's hard to say, if it goes well, it will take a month!" Sima Xueran was uncertain, and said, "Maybe it won't be resolved in three to five months. The matter has been dragged on until now, like a person who has been ill for a long time. If you say it will be cured, it will be cured!"

Within the Sima family, there are three sects and nine sects. The three families have their own ghosts, and they all want to fundamentally control the family power. Over the years, they have fought openly and secretly, and more than once. The internal friction is very serious, which has played a great role in the development of the family. bad influence.

According to the news from within the Sima family, the elders of the three sects decided to use a series of methods to select the most powerful faction as the head of the family and revive the family.

"I don't know how many years I've heard this. Everyone talks about revitalizing the family, but in the end it's all for their own benefit!" Sima Xueran said helplessly, "If it weren't for the huge internal conflicts these years, the Sima family would have died. After completing the great cause of making a comeback, how can it become more and more declining, and now there are fewer and fewer people who know about the Sima family."

"Then do you want to be the head of this family?" Ji Jie asked the crux of the problem.

Sima Xueran nodded. The reason why she was sent to Guigu by her family to worship Guiguzi as her teacher was to cultivate her abilities, hoping that after she finished her studies, she could unify the Sima family.

"Okay, I'll go back with you!" Ji Jie made a decision.

"Are you going back with me?" Sima Xueran stared at him with wide eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said, "I had to leave here because something happened, and there will be no chaos if you stay in Zhaocheng. If you leave again, What else should I do?"

Ji Jie smiled and said his plan. He felt that if Sima Xueran wanted to successfully sit on the position of Patriarch, he would definitely encounter resistance from all sides. The conspiracy within the family, and in this case, it is difficult for a person to maintain the calmness he deserves, and cannot calmly deal with what is happening in front of him.

Ji Jie is an outsider, and his appearance will cause two possibilities. First, he will get more attention, so that Sima Xueran's attention will be correspondingly reduced; second, if he is not noticed, he will be able to Help her solve many troubles secretly.

After listening to Ji Jie's explanation, Sima Xueran frowned slightly, and said to himself: "What you said makes sense, it's just..."

"Don't talk about anything else!" Ji Jie didn't give her a chance to refute, and said directly: "That's it! You have helped me so much, of course I will help you too. Besides, the Sima family is in your hands. I only have advantages and no disadvantages, let's prepare quickly and leave at any time!"

"Since senior brother said so, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse again!" Sima Xueran got up and saluted, "Little sister thanked senior brother!"

The defense of Zhaocheng was handed over to Ji Xueling. One thousand elite cavalry were transferred from Zhao Ling to patrol around the city day and night, and another thousand infantry troops were transferred from Ji Jian to supplement the city defense force. The city defense was impregnable.

On the third day, Ji Jie and Sima Xueran went north through the north gate of Zhaocheng. There were not many people accompanying them, only the three Xiong brothers and a carriage.

Although Ji Jie and Sima Xueran have been partners for several months, the relationship between the two has not changed. The main reason is that during this period of time, things are busy and there is no time to take care of other things. In addition, Ji Xueling, a jealous person, stares at Ji Jie all day long. , he just wanted to do something, but he had no chance.

The two rode their horses and walked in front, and the three Xiong brothers followed behind guarding the carriage. The cart was loaded with supplies needed for the journey, and there were also some gifts for visiting Sima family members.

Perhaps due to the influence of the environment, Sima Xueran's mood is very different from before. Ji Jie has felt it since the moment she stepped out of Zhaocheng. She looked up at the white clouds in the sky and said in a very smooth mood: "Senior brother , according to our speed, we will be able to reach Sima City Walled City in four days!"

"Hehe, Junior Sister, I didn't expect you to have such a cute side!" Ji Jie rode on the horse with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "I always thought you were a cold girl!"

"Is there?" Sima Xueran's small mouth was slightly raised, and she gave him a charming look.

It's really incredible, Ji Jie took a deep breath, thinking that such a beautiful girl has dangled in front of me for several months, and I am so unmoved. ,hey-hey!

Seeing that Ji Jie's expression became more and more abnormal, Sima Xueran reached out and shook his hand in front of him, then shouted: "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything, hehe!" Ji Jie laughed dryly, and found a high-sounding reason for himself: "It would be better for me to appear in front of your family in some capacity, without attracting attention or suspicion!"

"Really?" Sima Xueran's sensitivity was no less than Ji Xueling's. Men always felt ashamed in front of smart girls, and Ji Jie felt this way right now.

The northern grasslands are endless, where you can ride your horse and gallop as much as you want. In order to reach the destination earlier, they did not miss the beautiful scenery and moved at the fastest speed.

Turning to a basin, the sky gradually dimmed. Ji Jie decided to camp here tonight. Roughly calculated, the mileage traveled today was more than two hundred miles. If he didn't bring a car, he would have traveled farther.

Just as the tent was set up, there was a loud sound of fighting. Ji Jie and Sima Xueran stood up at the same time and listened.

"Your Majesty, it's on the west side!" Xiong Kui was the one with the most developed hearing among the three brothers, and he immediately judged the direction of the sound.

"The three of you stay here to protect the carriage, Xue Ran, let's go over and see what happened!" Ji Jie ordered.

After speaking, the two mounted their horses, and the three brothers stayed where they were.
