Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1909 Sound
Shanhaiguan City, Shanhaiju.

Ji Jiashu was reading a book in the room, and when he noticed the light from the leaves outside the window, his hands trembled, and he tried his best not to drop the book to the ground.

After Ying Baoyue lost contact last night, he moved the table to the window, and he could touch the branches outside the window as soon as he reached out.

He and Li Ji just sat at the table last night, staring at the whirling pagoda tree outside the window.

Although they both knew that with Ying Baoyue's prudence, they should not try to contact again, but they still just sat there all night.

But the leaves did not light up again last night.

It's getting dark tonight, and there's still an hour before dawn.Ji Jiashu thought it was another night of waiting in vain, but just before the cock crowed, the voice of Ying Baoyue rang in his ears.

"Embrace the moon!"

Ji Jiashu suddenly reached out and grabbed the leaves outside the window, breathing quickly, "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Ying Baoyue said softly, closing her eyes.Is it so touching to hear someone's voice from thousands of miles away?
After going through all kinds of things during the day, and hearing Ji Jiashu's voice again, she felt a sense of a world away.

"What the hell happened to you last night?"

Ji Jiashu restrained his tone as much as possible and asked, "Is everything settled?"

"Well, it's all settled," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "The person I met last night was not a practitioner, and I didn't encounter any danger."

"That's good."

Ji Jiashu's heart, which had been hanging for a day, finally let go.

"then you……"

Now that he was in contact again, he could finally ask the questions he hadn't asked before, but before he could ask, Ying Baoyue's voice came from the other end.

"Jia Shu, listen carefully, I am currently in the White Wolf King's Court."

"White Wolf Royal Court?"

Ji Jiashu's pupils shrank slightly, and he clenched the pages of the book in his hand.

He has been trying to fill in the water, soil, culture and customs of Xirong these days, and the most detailed map of Xirong that can be bought in Shanhaiguan City is spread out on the desk.Although compared with the map of the Central Plains, it is far from exhaustive, but no matter how rough the map of Xirong is, there must be no missing place.

That is the White Wolf Royal Court.

Ji Jiashu's eyes stopped on the map on the case, "Are you in the capital of Xirong now?"

capital?

Ying Baoyue smiled, "You can say that."

Ji Jiashu carefully observed the location on the map, and estimated the distance from Shanhaiguan to the White Wolf King's Court.

His books these days are not for nothing. Ji Jiashu knows very well that the maps on the desert and grassland are like waste paper, and it is easy for people to lose their way. If there is no Xirong guide to lead the way, they will probably be blinded once they cross the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

"Baoyue, are you in danger over there? How long can you last?"

Ji Jiashu picked up the pen and asked while writing a simple rescue plan on the map.

How long will it last?

Ying Baoyue could probably guess what Ji Jiashu and the others wanted to do. She closed her eyes and stared at the tree trunk in front of her.

"Jiashu, listen to me, don't come to me yet."

Ji Jiashu's hand holding the pen stopped in mid-air, and a drop of ink smudged on the paper.

She told them not to come?

"Jiashu, I'm currently hiding in the White Wolf King's Court as Chunyu Yeyan's maidservant, and I'm not in any danger for the time being."

Sensing the silence on the other side, Ying Baoyue said softly, "The situation here is very complicated. It won't be too late for you to come back after I figure out the situation first."

This is true, but is she really safe now?
At this time, Ji Jiashu finally realized belatedly what Ying Baoyue had just said, "Chunyuye's Yan clan? Is he married?"

If Ji Jiashu remembers correctly, the Yan family in Xirong refers to the regular wife.

"Although the wedding has not yet been officially held, it will be soon," Ying Baoyue said, "His wife is a nice person, so she won't hurt me for the time being."

But that was also Chunyu Ye's wife.

Ji Jiashu's gaze sank, "Baoyue, you haven't met Chunyuye again, have you?"

According to the rules of the Central Plains, unmarried couples should avoid seeing each other before they get married, but I don't know if it is the same in Xirong.

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, "Well, I haven't seen you again."

"Really?" Ji Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, so Ying Baoyue should be safe before Chunyuye officially gets married.

"Then when will Chunyu Ye hold the wedding?"

Ying Baoyue recalled what Ah Man said this morning, "If I heard correctly, it will be fourteen days later."

"So fast?"

Ji Jiashu became nervous. He had a premonition that these fourteen days might be the deadline for them to rescue Ying Baoyue.

"Then Baoyue, when will you be able to investigate the matter over there?" He asked eagerly.

"It will take a few more days," Ying Baoyue said, "If you need to come over, I will contact you again. If you don't get my contact, you must not leave."

In this way, even if she did not come back from the monastery, Ji Jiashu and the others would not rashly rush to Xirong.

"I understand."

Ji Jiashu heard the seriousness in Ying Baoyue's words, nodded and said, "But Baoyue, you must also remember that you must not be brave. If you encounter any accidents, you must tell us, remember?"

"You know what? I..."

Ji Jiashu paused, "Everyone is worried about you."

"Well, thank you."

A warm feeling surged in Ying Baoyue's heart.

Looking at the glowing tree trunk in front of her, she hesitated and asked, "By the way, Jiashu, where's Li Ji?"

She heard Li Ji's voice when she contacted her yesterday, but she didn't hear her today.

"Zhaohua?"

Ji Jiashu's fingers pinching the leaves became stiff for a moment.

He said softly, "Zhaohua went out to Liuyun Tower this morning and hasn't come back yet."

"Liuyun Building?"

Ying Baoyue was startled, what does Li Ji have to do with Liuyun Tower?Why did Wan Liuyun want to see him?
"Do you have anything to say to him?"

Ji Jiashu closed his eyes and said calmly, "I can convey it to him."

"I……"

Ying Baoyue hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about."

The most important thing she had just told Ji Jiashu, and Ji Jiashu would naturally convey it to everyone here, she had nothing to explain.

"Really? Then..."

Ji Jiashu was about to say something when there was a sudden noise outside the door.

He turned his head and saw the person standing outside the door startled.

"Huh, huh."

Big beads of sweat slid down the man's mask, and Li Ji was standing outside the door holding the door frame, his chest heaving slightly, panting heavily.

This was the first time Ji Jiashu heard Li Ji panting like this.

The aura of a heavenly cultivator is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and Li Ji seems to have engraved the word "steady" on his body, and he does not panic when doing anything.

But the man standing by the door at this time can only be described as messy.

Looking at Li Ji's appearance, Ji Jiashu could imagine how this man ran all the way back from the next door.

"Zhaohua, what are you?"

Li Ji stepped across the threshold, staring at the leaf in Ji Jiashu's hand.

"I heard the voice of hugging the moon in Liuyun Tower, it seems that it is not my illusion."
