This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 426 Goodbye, Mr. Ji
Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were filled with a smile:
"Don't feel any psychological pressure. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Even if the Faceless Demon King comes in person, I will be the one to resist him. Don't worry."

"Yes!"

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, the generals in the tent finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get ready."

After Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he disappeared into the tent.

Leaving behind a bunch of generals secretly criticizing.

……

After leaving the tent, Lu Yuanzhi faced the moonlight and felt the cool mountain breeze, with a strong sense of urgency in his heart.

I haven't seen Mr. Ji for a long time.

He looked towards the top of the mountain with a longing look in his eyes, wishing he could teleport to Ji Gong's side right away.

However, he also knew that it was not convenient to expose his demon king body at this time, so he had to rely on his own feet and walk step by step.

He didn't know when the Demon King would come, so he didn't dare to fly for fear of exposing himself.

I could only walk up the mountain step by step, miserable.

But with such a huge Wangyou Mountain, where would Lord Ji and Marquis Weiwu be?

As Lu Yuanzhi walked, a confused look appeared on his face.

At this time he remembered the benefits of Taoist spiritual consciousness.

If there is a Taoist spiritual consciousness, he only needs to expand his spiritual consciousness and scan to know their exact location.

As a warrior, what use does it have other than stronger muscles and a smarter brain?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi felt a little numb.

But there was no other way, he could only search the surroundings inch by inch with his eyes and five senses.

Fortunately, although the five senses of a third-grade warrior are not as powerful as the Taoist's spiritual consciousness, any slight movement is enough for him to analyze.

When they reached the hillside, Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He smelled Ji-gong’s scent.

Smelling the lingering scent in the forest, a smile appeared in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Ji has been here during this period of time. Now that we have a clue, it will be easy. Lu Yuanzhi followed the clues in the forest and headed towards the top of the mountain little by little.

"Ok?"

Halfway through the journey, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked towards the forest.

On the surface, there was no trace of anything in the forest, but Lu Yuanzhi could sense that someone was there! And it was a high-level warrior of the fourth rank.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi no longer hesitated and appeared in the dense forest in a flash.

"who are you?"

A sword-wielding figure frowned at Lu Yuanzhi. He was dressed in white and had a delicate face. He looked to be about 28 or 29 years old. When he saw Lu Yuanzhi suddenly appear, a look of realization flashed across his face. Then he looked at Lu Yuanzhi tentatively and asked:
"Commander Lu?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's heart moved slightly. Could it be that this person is...

Ye Qinglian.

The one who called me the commander must be someone among Pei Yinlang, and this person is a fourth-rank Yun Pei, and I have never met him before, so there can only be one person.

Ye Qinglian was placed on the map by Ji Gong in his early years. Since he came to Beijing, he has never seen this person.

"Ye Yunpei?"

Lu Yuanzhi also asked.

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Ye Qinglian finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away the long sword in his hand, put on a smile on his face and saluted:

"I've heard that Commander Lu has extraordinary talent in martial arts. Now I see that it's true. Hello, Commander Lu."

"Not worthy of it."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled modestly, came to Ye Qinglian, and said solemnly with a serious expression:
"As long as Lord Ji is still alive, this commander belongs to Lord Ji. You can just call me deputy commander."

"hehe."

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Ye Qinglian's eyebrows flashed with surprise, and then she smiled and said:

"It's too long and hard to pronounce. How about calling each other by our courtesy names?"

Lu Yuanzhi laughed:
"My cousin's name is also fine, I don't know Brother Ye?"

"Just call me Changqing."

There was a touch of carefreeness in Ye Qinglian's eyes. He looked into Lu Yuanzhi's eyes and asked:

"Yixing came here to look for Lord Ji, right?"

"Well, the Faceless Demon King is about to invade, and I'm here to discuss it with Lord Ji."

Lu Yuanzhi's expression became serious, and his tone was also low:
"I hope Brother Changqing can take me to see him as soon as possible."

"Oh?"

Ye Qinglian's face also became serious:
"There is no time to lose. Follow me now."

Having said that, he turned around and disappeared into the denser forest. Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi followed him closely.

Feeling Ye Qinglian's speed, Lu Yuanzhi smiled secretly in his heart.

No matter what moves a fourth-grade warrior makes, in the eyes of a third-grade warrior, they are all full of flaws. Ye Qinglian's speed can be said to be the fastest among the fourth-grade warriors. He has never seen anyone with a body movement like Ye Qinglian, who is as graceful as a startled swan and as fast as a swimming dragon...

But in front of his third-rank self, he was like a child playing, showing off his figure.

But this is understandable. After all, although those movements are meaningless jumps in his eyes, they are as slippery as loaches in the eyes of other fourth-grade warriors.

If Ye Qinglian hadn't been needed to lead the way, Lu Yuanzhi would probably have run to the horizon long ago.

While walking, the two of them could still chat for a while.

"Also, you just said that the Demon King is coming in person again?"

There was a solemn look on Ye Qinglian's face.

"again?"

Lu Yuanzhi quickly caught the unusual word, and asked with a slight pause:
"Has he been here before?"

"Yes, he brought 10,000 troops here before. Lord Ji thought he was going to do something, so he went to the mountains and forests to investigate personally."

When Ye Qinglian said this, a playful smile appeared on his face and he continued:
"However, when the Demon King saw that his 10,000-strong army was instantly defeated by your Mandarin Duck Army, he turned back. But he didn't expect that just a few days later, he would send another 100,000 demon army to come..."

There is no need to say what happened next. The 100,000 demon soldiers were slaughtered in droves under the might of the Mandarin Duck Army.

"hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi broke out in a cold sweat. He had never expected that the 10,000 demon soldiers he had spied on a few days ago were actually led by the Demon King himself...

If the Demon King knew that there were Lord Ji and Marquis Weiwu on the mountain...

hiss……

Lu Yuanzhi secretly felt lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, the Demon King did not go deeper, otherwise, the history of Dayong would probably have been rewritten.

Lu Yuanzhi himself could not imagine how many rounds he could have fought with the demon king without the help of the great formation in the mountains...

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi lost interest in talking and just followed Ye Qinglian obediently, continuing to head towards the top of the mountain.

After walking for less than a moment, Ye Qinglian stopped and the corners of her clothes fluttered as the wind stopped.

"Are we there yet?" Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi stopped and looked at the woods in front of him. Even though he had smelled that familiar scent, he still felt a little hesitant.

"We're here. Do you want me to go and inform them for you?"

There was a smile on Ye Qinglian's face.

"Need not."

Lu Yuanzhi swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, slowly came to the front of Ye Qinglian, and bowed deeply to the dense forest:
"Your subordinate Lu Yuanzhi requests to see Lord Ji."

Hearing this voice full of complex emotions, the smile on Ye Qinglian's face froze slightly, and then she looked at Lu Yuanzhi's back in front of her again.

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was not loud, but it was guaranteed to be heard by the people in the forest.

In the forest.

Ji Xuan's hand that was pouring wine suddenly stopped, a suspicious look appeared on his face, and after moving his ears, he looked out of the woods blankly.

"What's wrong?" Weiwu Hou, who was drinking tea on the side, looked at Ji Xuan's actions and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"I seemed to hear Lu Yuanzhi's voice." Ji Xuan looked outside the forest uncertainly.

"Him?" Marquis Weiwu sneered.
"I think you are crazy about holding your grandson. Why is he not in Xuzhou City to defend the city at this time? Is it possible that the Demon King is here to attack the mountain?"

"Uh……"

When Ji Xuan heard this, the suspicion on his face not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger. He stared at Lin Wai and said:
"It's definitely his voice. Even though I'm not at my peak anymore, I can't be mistaken about the voice."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Weiwu Hou's face. He could naturally tell that Ji Xuan had no need to joke with him at this time. He said solemnly:
"Could it be that the Demon King is really coming to attack?"

"I don't know, go check it out!"

As he spoke, Ji Xuan had already stood up, holding the wine jug, and walked quickly out of the woods.

Seeing his actions, Weiwu Hou also stood up, and without saying anything, followed Ji Xuan and went outside.

"Ok?"

Hai Wuyang, who was sleeping on the stone slab, woke up slowly at this time. He looked at the two people's backs as they left, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head indifferently, turned over, and fell asleep again.

Listening to the footsteps slowly coming from the forest, Lu Yuanzhi became more and more excited.

He stared at the forest.

Until a familiar figure slowly appeared.

The moment he saw this figure, Lu Yuanzhi was struck by lightning. His eyes became dull and he stared at the figure intently.

Old, white hair, cloudy eyes, staggering...

This... is Ji Gong? !
A look of disbelief flashed through Lu Yuanzhi's mind.

"Mr. Ji..." Lu Yuanzhi's lips began to tremble. As a third-rank warrior, he could even control the desires in his heart, any desire.

But at this moment, I couldn't control the tears welling up in my eyes.

When had he ever seen Ji Gong like this?
I still remember the first time I met him, Mr. Ji had such a gentle, yet intimidating aura.

What's going on today...

"hehe."

Ji Xuan saw Lu Yuanzhi's performance, and his face still showed a gentle smile as usual. He came in front of Lu Yuanzhi and looked him up and down. The gentle smile on his face seemed to have never changed:

"Good boy, you've lost weight."

A simple sentence, a familiar tone, a familiar voice.

But to Lu Yuanzhi, it sounded like the strongest tear gas bomb in the world. His voice was hoarse and trembling:

"Mr. Ji, you are... old."

He couldn't imagine how Mr. Ji became like this after not seeing him for less than a year.

"hehe."

Hearing this, Mr. Ji smiled unchanged, reached out and patted Lu Yuanzhi on the shoulder, speaking gently and elegantly:
"Wouldn't a person who never ages be a goblin?"

Lu Yuanzhi pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he felt that it would be futile to say anything at this moment.

"Come in and have some tea."

Ji Xuan looked at Lu Yuanzhi with great emotion in his heart. He did not expect that it was just a casual move he made at the beginning, but today he has become a war god who can stand alone in Dayong.

Is it the younger generation that is to be feared? No, it is the successors who will come after us.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Ji Xuan's thin back, quickly stepped forward, and gently supported Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan pulled his arm out of his arms and scolded with a smile:
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. I am not old yet!"

"Then I should help you too."

Lu Yuanzhi hurried forward, pressed Ji Xuan's arm into his own hand, and said in a very respectful voice:
"You helped me before, now it's my turn to help you."

This was a beautifully said thing, and Ji Xuan found it extremely useful. He took the time to glance at Marquis Weiwu.

At this time, the mighty Hou Wu Zhaoyun was like a clown spying on other people's happiness. He stood there silently without saying a word.

Ji Xuan's mouth curled up unconsciously. One of his hands was supported by Lu Yuanzhi, and the other hand stroked the beard on his chin:
"If you want to help me, go ahead. I can't control you anyway."

"hehe."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he did not respond, but just smiled indifferently and continued to seriously support Ji Xuan and walk towards the forest.

This heartwarming scene made Weiwu Hou feel sad.

Ye Qinglian sighed when she saw this.

……

"Still asleep?"

After everyone arrived in the forest, Lu Yuanzhi saw Hai Wuyang sleeping on the stone slab.

"Haha, the energy consumed by the Confucian and Taoist self-examination breakthrough is very great, so it's normal to feel that."

Ji Xuan sat on the stone bench with the help of Lu Yuanzhi. After smiling nonchalantly, he poured a bowl of tea for Lu Yuanzhi:

"I just found this tea randomly in Wangyou Mountain. It's not as good as the one I have stored in the government office. I will make it for you when we get back to the government office."

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi felt mixed emotions.

When had Mr. Ji ever spoken to me like this in the past?
Every time I give you whatever you want, why do you pick it?
This time when I saw him...he always gave me the feeling of an old elder.

"Everything tastes good. I'm not particular about this stuff."

Lu Yuanzhi responded with a smile, but he felt a little annoyed when he heard the sound of Hai Wuyang sleeping, so he picked up a piece of tea leaf and flicked his finger in the direction of Hai Wuyang.

"Snapped!"

"Hi~"

Hai Wuyang, who was sleeping soundly, covered his face and took a breath of cold air. He sat up suddenly and glared at the mighty Hou in the forest:
"I told you I've already accepted the dean as my master, so stop trying to persuade me! No matter how you bully me, I won't be a slave to someone else!"

"Stinky boy, it's not me, it's your brother!"

Marquis Weiwu was already in a bad mood, and after being misunderstood by Hai Wuyang, his mood became even worse. He wanted to curse as he said this.

"Uh?"

Hai Wuyang was stunned after hearing this, and then he cast his gaze on Lu Yuanzhi who was sitting on the stone bench.

"Brother?? What are you doing here?"

When Hai Wuyang saw Lu Yuan, he was at a loss at first, then his expression suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with incomparable solemnity:
"The Demon King has attacked the mountain???"
