Big Bodhi - Chapter 20-2

Chapter 20: The One Who Doesn’t Know Woe to Himself (2/2)

Before his words left from his mouth, Zhao Lun came after him from afar and shouted urgently, “Commander Ji Bugui, if you leave at this moment, what about the rotation at the western side of the Great City Gate?”

Ji Bugui glanced sideways at Zhao Lun, his eyes slightly cold, then he turned back around and whispered in a somewhat embarrassed voice towards Ji Yue Nian, “Eldest Prince, I will deal with some chores first and come back later.”

“Let’s go.” Ji Yue Nian nodded slightly, but did not stop, but continued walking slowly towards the front.

Although the ancient city of Tai Chu is called a city, it is actually a vast territory surrounded by eight long walls. Dozens of prosperous towns and villages stand in the outer city. Although the most majestic and majestic central inner city is only It is only a few tens of miles away, but it is the true core of the ancient city of Taichu.

The Yanggu Spiritual Fields, the blue grass flowers, the red spirit fruits, the Xuan Xiang rice …… are planted on both sides of the wide official road, stretching endlessly. There are many mortal people who take care of the spiritual fields, not daring to let up for a moment, which is the basis for their survival in the ancient city of Tai Chu.

Regardless of the type of fruit they grow, these mortals can only keep 20% of the money each year, while the remaining 80% is paid to the inner city as a spiritual tax to support the several cultivation families that run Tai Chu Old City.

The seeds of these spiritual fields and fruits were distributed to the 19 ancient cities by the Tai Chu Ancient Sect many years ago, and are not of high quality, but are extremely productive and suitable for cultivation by the lay people. Even if only 20% of the seeds are left, they are still enough to feed the mortals, and there is even a lot left over to exchange for silver money.

After all, 99% of the beings in the ancient city of Tai Chu are ordinary mortals who have never lit their hearts on fire, so it is impossible for them to have precious yuan stones to trade with, like a few cultivation families.

A Yuanshi is a jade stone that is rich in heaven and earth energy, and from which all races can draw pure heaven and earth energy…

The sky and earth are so vast and endless that new veins of Yuan Shi emerge almost every moment, so Yuan Shi has gradually become something that can be traded between beings who can cultivate, and it has almost never changed.

“Do you know who that man was just now? How dare you shout here?”

Ji Bugui’s face was incomparably gloomy as he looked coldly at Zhao Lun in front of him.

At this moment, several black-armoured city guards, who had already discovered some clues, hurriedly greeted Ji Bugui and mounted their horses separately, racing towards the inner city at a great distance.

The return of the Ji family’s grand duke in one piece would be a sensation in the inner city!

Zhao Lun also seemed to have realized that his action of calling out to Ji Bugui was a bit foolish and stammered, “Ji Bugui …… Commander, I didn’t …… mean anything else, I just……”

“You are just looking for death!” Ji Bugui drew out his long sword with his backhand and fiercely chopped towards Zhao Lun’s wrist!

With a flash of cold light, Zhao Lun’s left hand fell in response to the sound.

A large stream of blood spurted out, Zhao Lun let out a miserable scream, his right hand clutching the broken wrist of his left hand, kneeling on the ground and wailing in pain.

“Dog, how dare you delay me from pleasing the Grand Duke, you’re lucky that I didn’t kill you with a single sword!” Ji Bugui spat fiercely towards the top of Zhao Lun’s head and turned his head towards the remaining black-armoured city guards who had not left and ordered in a cold voice, “Those who are going to report have already gone, so you few stay at the western gate and do not leave!”

These few men took a glance at Zhao Lun’s miserable state and all said with trepidation, “Yes, Commander Ji Bugui.”

Ji Bugui gave a cold snort, and did not even ride his horse, but turned around and quickly chased after Ji Yue Nian, who was on the official road in the distance.

Although the recruitment of the Black Armoured City Guards was extremely harsh, after all, the majority of them were mortal martial artists from the outer cities.

This was one of them, Zhao Lun.

Although Ji Bugui was only a minor commander, he was backed by the Ji family, a cultivation family in the inner city, and his status was much higher than Zhao Lun’s.
