Records of Demons in the Republic of China

Chapter 36

Jiu Yi grinned grimly, and then strode towards the threshold: "Very good! I ran for dozens of miles and only ate a pig's tail and three packs of dim sum. I'm hungry now. If you take good care of me Now, I will give you a few more words, so that you can prepare early so that you can live for a few more years." After saying this, he raised his hand without looking back: "Brigade Commander Wu, you come too. "

Wu Xiuzhai was startled, and then followed Jiuyi with small steps. When he was walking through the gate to the yard, a guard guarding the gate suddenly struck out and pinched him on the buttocks.Wu Xiuzhai was startled, and when he turned his head to look, he found that this gentleman was the rogue guard who wanted to make friends with him just now.Holding his buttocks and taking a quick step, he turned his head and said angrily in a low voice: "Stinky bastard! Get out of here! Don't look at my face like a crown of jade and think of your mother's evil intentions. I am a clean and decent man. If you continue to mess around, I can call someone!"

After the words fell, he didn't dare to wait for the guard's reply, and hurriedly followed Jiuyi and Marshal Bai to the front.The Marshal's Mansion looks majestic on the outside, but inside it is also a deep courtyard and winding roads, it is really like a maze.He was walking behind when he heard Marshal Bai suddenly asked softly: "Qingqi... is he alright?"

Jiu Yi squinted at him, knowing that Marshal Bai always had a smile and passionate words, so he was not surprised: "Qing Qi is very good, but I am tired of living in the cave, so I want to come out to see the sun. "

Marshal Bai turned his face away, and looked at Jiuyi thoughtfully: "See you in the sky?"

Jiu Yi lazily twisted his neck and waist: "My clothes are really uncomfortable."

Marshal Bai smiled, and then ordered to the attendant beside him: "Go, wait for Buddha to take a hot bath!"

Jiuyi once again enjoyed the large Western-style bathtub filled with hot water.

He sat cross-legged in the bathtub naked, holding the head of the four-legged snake in one hand, and poured hot water for him to bathe with the other.The four-legged snake was almost killed by him, but because he knew that he was kind to him, and for Jiuyi who had never had any kindness, such kindness was very rare, so he held back with staring eyes. Without saying a word, when Jiuyi let go, he immediately crawled to the edge of the bathtub shaking his head and wagging his tail, panting with his mouth wide open.

Wu Xiuzhai stood by the bathtub and begged softly, "Jiuyi, tell me quickly, what happened to Master Haoyue?"

Jiuyi stood up from the big bathtub with a "crash", lifted a long wet leg, stepped out of the bathtub and stepped on the ground.Hastily wiped off the water droplets on his body with a towel, he shook off a heavy satin monk robe, and put the monk robe on his body.

Then he fastened the monk's robe loosely, and he stretched out his hand, letting the four-legged snake climb up his arm and onto his shoulder.Taking a break from his busy schedule, he snapped his fingers at Wu Xiuzhai. He kicked off the hem of the soft monk robe, and walked towards the bathroom door with his soft-soled slippers: "Follow me!"

Wu Xiuzhai swallowed, because he didn't dare to stalk him and ask more questions, so he turned around on the spot, chased him and trotted away.

In a bright and quiet small warm room, Jiu Yi and Marshal Bai sat facing each other across a table of wine and food, while Wu Xiuzhai huddled alone in a small chair in the corner, like an auditor in a school.Jiuyi didn't want to be waited on, so he picked up a big spoon and drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup, then let out a long breath of air, and burped at Marshal Bai who was opposite him.The four-legged snake hid in Jiuyi's arms, only showing its head vigilantly, for fear that Marshal Bai would drug Jiuyi again during the dinner.

At this time, Jiuyi opened his mouth, and apart from mentioning his miserable situation at that time, he truthfully narrated what Lu Qingqi did, said, thought, and what happened in the cave.When the narration was over, he looked up at Marshal Bai, and smiled: "How is it? Bai Xiaokun, how do you feel now?"

Marshal Bai looked down at the pot of hot soup in the middle of the table, and remained speechless and expressionless for a while.It wasn't until the heat of the hot soup gradually dissipated that he opened his mouth lightly and calmly: "Qingqi has always been ambitious, and it's reasonable for him to want to make a career out of it."

The four-legged snake saw that Marshal Bai was not in a hurry or annoyed, which was not his proper attitude, so he wanted to fan the flames, but before he could open his mouth, Jiu Yi seemed to have a heart-to-heart with him, and had already raised his hand to push him back into his arms: "You probably don't believe me, thinking that I escaped by chance, and this trip is a special trip to sow discord, with the intention of revenge."

Marshal Bai immediately shook his head, got up and picked up the jug himself, and filled Jiuyi with a cup of hot wine: "Buddha, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just—"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiuyi suddenly stood up.He opened his five fingers and held the wine glass downwards. He raised his eyes and smiled at Marshal Bai, then he flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back: "Marshal, I have something to do suddenly, and I'm leaving now."

Marshal Bai also stood up: "Things? Why is it so urgent that you want to leave as soon as you say?"

Jiu Yi looked away, and glanced obliquely out of the window: "I have eaten and clothed, and my body has regained strength, so I decided to go back to the mountain and hang Lu Qingqi up from the cave. I just heard what the commander-in-chief said. The poor monk felt something in his heart, and suddenly remembered that I had great ambitions in the past. Lu Qingqi and I joined forces, and we should join hands to do a great cause. We could even rescue that dog—— Haoyue, right? Isn't it a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone? Compared with such a big cause, what's the current gourmet food and clothing?"

At this point, he twisted his thick eyebrows, raised his hand and beat his chest with a painful expression: "Thinking about it, I feel so strong, I can't wait any longer! Commander, farewell!"

After saying this, he turned his head and was about to leave, but just after taking a few steps, he suddenly felt his wrist tighten, and when he looked back, it was Marshal Bai who followed closely and grabbed his wrist: "Lord Buddha, wait a minute! "

Marshal Bai raised his slick head and stared at Jiuyi eagerly: "Are you really Qingqi's opponent?"

Jiuyi spread his hands together: "If I wasn't his opponent, I would have become a donkey dung by now!"

Marshal Bai let go of Jiuyi, and frowned slightly: "Buddha, if you have something to say, don't insult him!"

"But he is a donkey! I almost let him kick him to death!"

Marshal Bai turned to the window and sighed: "Buddha, it's because you don't understand Qingqi."

"I don't have the time to get to know a donkey!"

Marshal Bai suddenly turned his head: "Don't insult Qingqi!"

Jiuyi stretched out his hand to the door: "Since you like your Qingqi so much, then I'll go now and bring that donkey back to you!"
