Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 204: Lord Naoki
Ji Tang led more than 20 people into the city to stroll around. The city was not big, but it had a population of tens of thousands. Although people's livelihood was poor, there was no shortage of rare things that everyone had not seen. Mu Qing'er and Sister Xu were walking in front, and everyone just followed their interest and walked around.
After they entered the city, they crossed the street and continued forward. There was a bamboo forest on the side of the road. Compared with other simple wooden houses, this place was even more extraordinary. Seeing the birds singing and the flowers blooming inside, and the mist rising, Mu Qing'er and her sister suddenly felt bright in front of them. Following the white low wall on the side of the road, they wanted to go in and see what was going on.
Everyone followed the two sisters to a door. Unexpectedly, there were soldiers on duty here. These soldiers were all wearing bamboo armor, holding long swords, and their shapes were strange.
Ordinary people could not get close to this place. Seeing that Mu Qing'er and her sister were as beautiful as fairies, these soldiers did not dare to stop them. They let the two of them walk into the garden covered by trees with curiosity.
Ji Tang and the others naturally followed in, but when the soldiers saw the beauty going away, they showed their fierceness and wanted to arrest Ji Tang and his party to punish them.
At this time, in a house in the manor, two old men were talking with a dark and rough man in his forties or fifties.
"Respectable great witches, our Naoki family has generously invited you to come. The rise of the Naoki family still requires the two great witches to worry about it!"
The dark and rough man, wearing iron armor, knelt on the ground and bowed to the two old men.
The two old men had chicken skin and white hair, but they were covered tightly in the hot weather. The colorful strips of cloth on their bodies were very strange. One of the old men, with a proud look, nodded slightly, twisted his white beard and said: "Your Excellency's kindness is due to us, and we will do our best to repay it!"
Like the real protectors of the Shang Kingdom, the great witches have a high status in Fusu. They are proficient in witchcraft, medicine, divination, etc. Because they were respected by the royal family and worshiped by the people, they were rampant in Fusu Township. Every noble who wanted to revitalize the family and become a real big family in the country could not do without the support of these wizards. Therefore, these people were also respected as great wizards.
"Respected great wizard, I have two treasures here, please appreciate them."
The black and rough man took out two small things from the brocade bag on his body. His black beard smoked his face, but he could not hide the greed and cunning in his eyes. These two things were in the hands of a foreigner from the distant sea. His subordinates coveted his property and killed him to rob. The gold and silver items that ordinary people knew were all collected, but these two small things that could not be seen were hidden by the foreigner. It was a pity to throw them away, so he asked the knowledgeable great wizard to identify them.
If the great wizard could not see the preciousness of this thing, the black and rough man would just throw it away. It was just his greedy nature that made him know that the personal items would not be so simple, but he was afraid that the great wizard would cheat him of the treasure.
Just when the black and sturdy man was hesitant, someone came to report that there was a noise in front of the manor. He had no choice but to put the two things into the brocade bag, put it in his arms, and walked out of the bamboo house with the two great witches. This is the place where Zhimu Ri and his wives and concubines bathed and had sex. Ordinary people dared not approach. Who is so bold now?
Who knew that not far from the bamboo house, he saw two soft figures lingering in front of the flowers. The beauty who came to the door made the man lustful.
When Ji Tang was arguing with the other party, he saw three people coming out.
"Who are the distinguished guests! I am the lord of this city. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"
The leader was a black-haired man with a sturdy body like a pig, in his thirties or forties, with a heavy beard and tiger eyes. He was rarely covered with a layer of iron armor, with a fierce face and extraordinary momentum. This man was the lord of the big city, named Zhimu Ri, and Zhimu was a big surname, that is, a noble in the big city. Behind him followed two old men with chicken skin and white hair, who were respected as great witches by the people in the city. They were feared by everyone, but also respected as gods.
These two great witches were guests of the city lord Naoki's family. They were said to be masters in Fusu. They were invited by Naoki Hi to help his Naoki family become the most noble family on Ying Island.
When the soldiers saw the three people, they bowed to the ground and saluted, and then reported everything that had just happened. Naoki Hi was not interested in what his soldiers said, and his eyes were fixed on Mu Qing'er and her sister.
The beauty had jade-like skin, slender waist, and fairy-like appearance. Looking at the beauty's frown and smile, Naoki Hi frowned, swallowed his saliva secretly, retracted his lustful eyes, and nodded to the two great witches behind him.
Afterwards, Ji Tang and others exchanged a few words with the city lord, and then walked into the yard under the leadership of the two great witches.
The courtyard was very large, and it was built around the mountain. The mountain was lush with green grass and trees, and the flowers were lush and the scenery was quiet. The people who were used to the sea breeze and waves were full of praise for the beautiful scenery in front of them. I didn't expect that the city lord would have such a quiet and elegant place. After admiring it, everyone lingered in it and had a lot of fun.
The two great witches deliberately flattered and led everyone to the back of a graceful house, which turned out to be a natural clear spring. The spring water was warm, the mist was rising, and the surrounding rocks and trees were shaded. In addition, the sound of water was gurgling, as if it was a fairyland on earth.
Mu Qing'er and her sister smiled when they heard that they could bathe here. The daughters had suffered enough from the waves at sea, so how could they bear the temptation in front of them.
As if they had expected it, after the city lord left, the two great witches arranged for everyone to take a bath.
The two girls walked into a graceful house with great interest, and saw orchids blooming in the bamboo house, sandalwood curling, and quiet and deserted everywhere. Mu Qing'er ran to the spring outside the bamboo house and wanted to undress, but she saw a man with black hair sitting in the water.
Shocked, Mu Qing'er drew her dagger before she could undress, and shouted angrily with shameful eyes, "Who are you?"
Senior Sister Xu heard the sound and hurried over to see. She immediately cried out and covered her face to avoid it. But Mu Qing'er refused to give in. How could a girl who was insulted like this face herself in the future?
Even the children of the rivers and lakes, who were generous by nature, also knew the ethical norms of men and women not to touch each other. But Mu Qing'er was not young, but she had a stubborn character who refused to suffer any loss.
The man in the water had lustful eyes and waved at Mu Qing'er, saying: "I am the Lord of Zhimu Ri, a big family in Wangcheng! Serve me well and don't disgrace your status in the Heavenly Dynasty." As he said that, he slowly stood up, without a strand of clothes, and showed off the black hair on his chest.
"Ah——!"
Mu Qing'er had never seen such things before. She screamed in shame and anger. She couldn't believe that there were such beastly people in this world. She felt furious, her eyes were red, tears were swirling, and she was about to swing her short sword to kill the beast in front of her, but suddenly she felt dizzy, and her whole body was weak, and she collapsed to the ground. When Senior Sister Xu was about to help Mu Qing'er escape from here, she also fell down.
The city lord walked up to the pool with water stains all over his body, looking at the beauty on the ground with greed. When he was about to reach out his hand, the wall of the bamboo house "banged" and a big hole appeared. When Ji Tang rolled out of it, he chopped the black pig with a surprised face with the long sword in his hand.
Naoki Ri saw that the beauty was in his hands, but suddenly something strange happened. This man was short and stout, but also flexible. Seeing that the situation was not good, he jumped back and jumped into the pool to avoid Ji Tang's long sword.
Ji Tang fell to the ground and staggered to stand up, but his face was flushed and he was panting. He and his male disciples, under the hospitality of the two great witches, did not relax their vigilance in the face of the hot springs.
As the saying goes, if you are too attentive, you are either a traitor or a thief. As the second elder brother, Ji Tang has more responsibilities and should be more careful than his junior brothers. While greeting the two great witches, he quietly hinted to Yu Zixian to hide aside and patrol.
Who knew that Yu Zixian had just left the bamboo house not far away, Ji Tang and others felt dizzy, and the two great witches had disappeared. He knew that he had been tricked, so he hurriedly told his disciples to put on their clothes and practice their skills to relieve the poison in their bodies. In the midst of his busy schedule, he suddenly heard screams from next door.
Yu Zixian had just walked a short distance when he saw a team of soldiers surrounding him. He knew that something was wrong and hurried back to warn, but he saw that all his brothers were weak and powerless. He was shocked and wanted to go forward to rescue them.
Ji Tang was anxious, afraid that Yu Zixian would be attacked again, so he ordered him to leave and report first, otherwise, they would be trapped here and it would be over.
Yu Zixian felt that the situation was critical, and rushed out with his long sword.
The screams from next door were familiar to him. Ji Tang was afraid that his junior sister would have an accident, so he didn't care about much and broke through the wall directly, just in time to see the city lord trying to molest Mu Qing'er.
In shock and anger, but helpless and dizzy, Ji Tang lost the strength in his hands, and let the black-haired pig-like city lord escape.
Seeing that the two junior sisters were unconscious, Ji Tang felt guilty. It was because he was not vigilant enough that he was attacked. Now he could only risk his life to protect his junior sisters, otherwise, he, Ji Tang, would never redeem himself.
There were a few more "bangs", and Luo Rong and the remaining brothers and sisters pierced a few more big holes in the bamboo house and gathered together. Some disciples with weaker skills could not hold on and had fainted.
The city lord Zhimu Ri, unable to restrain his lust, ran out in a rage, gathered a group of bamboo-armored soldiers, and surrounded everyone. The two great witches were also surprised to see that so many disciples had not fallen down after they succeeded in secretly poisoning. The two followed the soldiers and were about to enter the house to capture everyone.
As soon as the bamboo-armored soldiers ran into the house, they were knocked to the ground by Luo Rong, who was guarding the door, with a sword, which frightened Zhimu Ri and the two great witches and made them retreat hurriedly.
Zhimu Ri asked the two great witches angrily why these people from the Celestial Empire were still so fierce after being poisoned. The great witch comforted him with a pleasant face, saying that these people from the Celestial Empire should be martial artists, so the effect of the medicine would be slower. However, within half an hour at most, these people would not be able to hold on, and the beauty would not be able to escape either.
In order to gain benefits from the Zhimu family, the two great witches did not hesitate to satisfy Zhimu Ri's lust and secretly poisoned these guests from the Celestial Empire. In their opinion, it was no big deal for Shangguo to kill a few people and leave two beauties to please Zhimu Ri in a faraway place.
There were more than a dozen big families on Ying Island. If they could support the city lord Zhimu Ri to dominate Ying Island, it would be a good thing to gain both fame and fortune. Therefore, the two great witches spared no effort to plot against the disciples of Tianlong Sect, and took the beauties as gifts to offer to Zhimu Ri in order to obtain greater rewards in the future.
However, these visitors from the Celestial Empire were difficult to deal with, and they did not surrender even after being poisoned. Zhimu Ri and the two great witches, with a team of bamboo armor soldiers, calculated the time, just waiting for Ji Tang and others to fall.
