In Weixin, there was a new Q&A for the readers. In the future, he would answer some questions from the readers. Lao Huo's Weixin Signal: Lao Huo 13141, which was the pinyin of "Lao Huo" plus the number 13141.
In the afternoon, Fang Yun met Yun He. He learned that the Yun family and Nie family had each sent a Jinshi, two Juren, five Xiucai, and a private army of a hundred soldiers.
The Yun family's Jinshi was Yun Dan, whom Fang Yun had met at the restaurant. The Nie family's Jinshi was Nie Cheng, who was on good terms with Yun Ao.
This was the Yun family's business, so Fang Yun did not say much. He would leave for Axe Mountain the next day.
As long as he could get half of the Dragon Grain Rice and Blood Jade, everything would be fine.
On the morning of the 14th of November, Fang Yun woke up early. After washing up, he went to the main hall.
Fang Yun was wearing a white Hanlin uniform and black cloth shoes. He stepped through a door and looked up at the sky.
The time in the Bloodlight Ancient Land was calculated according to the time in Saint Origin World. There was no day or night in the Bloodlight Ancient Land. The sky was covered by blood-red clouds and a faint blood mist. It was never bright, but it was not too dark either.
When he was far away from the main hall, Fang Yun could hear the low and disorderly voices of people talking.
He turned and saw dozens of scholars standing in the courtyard in front of the main hall. There were Jinshi, Juren, Xiucai, and Tong students.
Seeing Fang Yun enter, many of the low-ranking scholars hurriedly cupped their hands.
"Good morning, Cousin Yun Fang!"
"Good morning, Brother Yun!"
"Good morning, Jinshi!"
Fang Yun cupped his hands in greeting and walked towards the main hall without further formalities.
The main hall was empty. After greeting each other, Fang Yun stood at the door with the other Jinshi.
Fang Yun rarely participated in social activities. He spent most of his time studying. Now, he was standing alone in the crowd. He looked around but did not see anyone familiar. He suddenly felt lonely.
"I wonder how Yuhuan is doing in Saint Origin World. I wonder if Ao Huang has successfully become a Dragon King. I wonder how the Duke of Jianmei is doing. Yan Yukong and the others are probably studying at Notre-Dame … "
As Fang Yun thought about it, he suddenly froze. Then, he gently shook his head. In the past, he would not have been so sentimental. Only now did he understand the true feelings of some poems. Only outsiders could understand the bone-deep loneliness.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festive season makes me miss my family even more.
Now, even if it wasn't a festive season, he would still feel lonely. It would definitely be even more difficult to endure.
Fang Yun suddenly thought of something. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be spending the new year in the Bloodmang Ancient Land.
The Spring Festival was only a month and a half away.
"Sigh …" Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh softly. Only now did he realize that he seemed to be a little miserable recently.
"Cousin Yunfang."
Fang Yun turned his head towards the source of the voice and saw a young High Scholar walking towards him with a smile on his face. His expression was one of awkwardness and worry, as if he didn't know where to place his hands.
Fang Yun remembered this person, Yun Jieying of the second branch.
The previous head of the Yun family had four sons, so they were divided into four branches. The eldest and third sons were both very promising. One was a Grand Scholar while the other was a High Scholar, so the first and third branches were very powerful. However, the second and fourth sons were only High Scholars. They were almost invisible in the family. Moreover, they were old and couldn't move freely. Recently, they had not appeared in the Western Expedition.
Only Yun Jieying of the second branch had appeared, and he had brought ten private soldiers with him.
In the Bloodmang Ancient Land, as long as one became an Elementary Scholar, they would be able to recruit private soldiers. As an Elementary Scholar without a private army, he would not be taken seriously.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Oh, it's Jieying."
Yun Jieying saw that Fang Yun had addressed him intimately and was both happy and excited. He said, "Cousin, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. I'll eat with everyone before we leave, "Fang Yun said.
"Cousin, you're so easy-going. Oh, I heard that your Armored Ox carriage was personally prepared by the head of the family. If you don't mind, you can travel with our carriage. Hehe, your scholarly rank is high, and you've experienced real battles. It's safe to stay with you. "Yun Jieying was somewhat embarrassed.
Fang Yun carefully looked at this slightly shy youth. His complexion was rosier than normal people's, his eyes were clear and transparent, his lips were slightly thick, and there were a few freckles on his face. He looked very honest.
Fang Yun had some understanding of the fourth branch of the Yun family. The second branch had a good relationship with the first branch, but did not get along well with the third branch. Yun Jieying's relationship with Yun Jie was not bad, but he had some conflicts with Yun Ao. Rather than saying that Yun Jieying was inviting him, it was more like he was seeking protection.
Seeing that Fang Yun did not immediately reply, Yun Jieying hurriedly said, "Cousin, you came from outside, and there are many things that are inconvenient for you. I have ten private soldiers with me, and they are all my own people. Although the head of the family gave you fifty private soldiers, they are all soldiers. They are useful in battle, but not in other situations. Don't you think so? "
Fang Yun had heard that this Yun Jieying was quite dull, but he suddenly became eloquent today. It was very likely that it was his parents' idea.
Fang Yun's gaze softened, and he asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Yun Jie."
Hearing Yun Jie's name, Yun Jieying's expression immediately changed. A trace of mist appeared in his eyes, but quickly disappeared. He nodded heavily and said, "Big brother treated me very well, so my father didn't want me to go. But I took the initiative to go and avenge big brother!"
"You're so young. Perhaps you haven't participated in the Demon Hunt before?"
"I … I'm ashamed to say this. When I was an elementary scholar, I fought with the demon soldiers in the practice field. I also participated in the battle, but I didn't personally participate. My parents were always afraid that something would happen to me, and said that they would only allow me to hunt demons after I became a High Scholar. I only became a High Scholar last year, so I haven't participated in the Demon Hunt yet. "Yun Jieying honestly replied.
"Hmm, that's good. I only recently came to the frontline city. Although I'm with Yun Jie, I don't even remember the roads clearly. With you around, it'll be much more convenient for me." Fang Yun deliberately said this.
The scholars who became Grand Scholars in the Blood Mang Ancient Land were also good at arguing, but they were weaker in other aspects. Only Grand Scholars could have a photographic memory.
"That's good! Thank you, cousin! "Yun Jieying smiled happily.
"Then stand behind me." Fang Yun dao.
"Yes!" Yun Jieying walked behind Fang Yun with incomparable seriousness.
After a while, the head of the Yun family, Yun He, appeared with an old Grand Scholar beside him. Fang Yun recognized this person. He was a friend of Yun He's for many years, and his name was Kang Xingzhi. This person had a fiery temper, and like Yun He, was also a respectable old man.
Since everything was ready, Yun He did not nag. After a few words, he invited everyone to eat.
Yun He purposely called all the Grand Scholars to his side.
Yun He, Kang Xingzhi, Yun Ao, Fang Yun, Yun Dan, and Nie Cheng sat together. A total of six people formed the highest level of the Demon Hunter Team.
After the meal, everyone left the Yun family and arrived at the west gate of Juyun City.
Outside the west gate stood a total of two thousand armored soldiers. Half of them were the private soldiers of the scholars, and the other half were the private soldiers of the Yun family of Chang Le. They were equivalent to the private soldiers of the head of the family, Yun He.
At the west gate, there was also a Han Lin and a few dozen scholars.
The Blood Mang Ancient Land had its own rules. When the Demon Hunter Team went on an expedition to the west, the scholars with higher positions in the city would write a poem to strengthen everyone's strength and boost their morale.
After Han Lin finished writing the poem, Chang Wu, everyone's body grew bigger. Their strength, endurance, and other physical aspects improved significantly.
After that, all the scholars either got on armored ox carts or rode on dragon horses. The ordinary soldiers walked and left Juyun City, heading towards Axe Mountain.
