Jiang Cheng had already rolled his eyes fiercely, not because of anything else, but because he really understood the terrifying power of the frost poison. The ecstasy of ice and fire that he faced in his sea of consciousness, he didn't want to experience it a second time in his life.
With a muffled snort, Jiang Cheng coughed twice and asked the shivering young master in a gloomy tone, "What's your name?"
"Hui … Hui …" The young master spoke with a shivering feeling. Jiang Cheng suddenly became angry and said fiercely, "Is your surname Hui? Can't you be more straightforward? "
The young master clenched his teeth, "My surname is Hui." In fact, this young master didn't have the surname Hui at all. The reason why he repeatedly struggled with the word Hui was because he wanted to say something like "Senior Hui" or something. However, how could Jiang Cheng know that he had so many twists and turns? He straightforwardly thought that this guy's surname was Hui, but this young master couldn't refute him. He also didn't want this super ruthless person in front of him to lose his patience, so he simply arranged the surname Hui on himself.
Jiang Cheng also didn't want to argue with him about his surname, so he said sternly, "From now on, you are my man, is that okay?"
Young master Hui nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "Got it, you don't have to say so much. I know what to do very well. I will send you intelligence once a week, and then if there is urgent intelligence, I will send it in advance. I will seriously and meticulously execute your orders, and I guarantee that I will not go to the west if you don't let me go to the east."
Jiang Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction, "Anyway, it's up to you. Your life is your own. You must remember this clearly. Don't do anything wrong to yourself, or I will be very sad."
Young master Hui didn't even have the courage to curse in his heart. This old demon was someone he had contacted a long time ago. Now that he was killed by this ruthless person in front of him in one move, how could a trash like him resist? As long as he had a life to eat, it would be fine.
As he thought of this, he nodded his head in cold sweat.
"Do I still need to worry about the intelligence network?" Jiang Cheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something. When he was about to walk out, he suddenly turned back and asked faintly.
No need, no need, I have manpower and funds here, just wait for the intelligence network to come into play. Young master Hui smiled flatteringly and said, "Let's leave it at that for now.
Jiang Cheng nodded and turned to leave with Miss Yue.
This person was definitely very reliable. Miss Yue smiled and said, "He doesn't have much ambition, no cultivation, and he cherishes his life very much. He would never do such a betrayal."
Unfortunately, he was useless. Jiang Cheng sighed faintly and said, "Anyway, let's leave it at that for now. Although the processing of intelligence is still a problem, we don't need this information very much now."
Sitting in the carriage that Young master Hui had personally arranged, Jiang Cheng and Miss Yue arrived at the Imperial City.
It had to be said that the Imperial City, as the core of the Yun Dynasty, was quite imposing. The city walls and the floor were all made of green bricks, thick but not lacking in spirit. The pedestrians on the streets were all dressed decently and had smiles on their faces. From time to time, they could even see heavily armed city guards passing by on the streets. The hawkers were also hawking their wares in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "This is indeed the Imperial City, it's really different from those small cities below."
"I came to the Imperial City once when I was very young. At that time, my favorite food was the tanghulu in the Imperial City. I wonder if I can buy it now." A look of reminiscence appeared on Miss Yue's face. When she turned around, she realized that Jiang Cheng had already disappeared. She was momentarily stunned and felt a little angry in her heart. She hadn't even finished speaking and this fellow had already slipped away. Wasn't this a great disrespect to her?
Within a few seconds, Jiang Cheng had already returned with a stick of bright red tanghulu. He directly handed it to Miss Yue and said, "Hmm, I bought the tanghulu that you wanted. Try it and see if it still tastes familiar."
Miss Yue was stunned again, and then she stared blankly at the big boy in front of her. Although the smile on his face was somewhat frivolous and even had a faint demonic charm, at this moment, his seemingly ordinary face seemed especially amiable and moving.
Is there something on my face? When Jiang Cheng saw that the girl was staring at him unblinkingly, he was immediately puzzled. He touched his face and said, "I remember that I washed my face this morning."
Miss Yue blushed and lowered her head to look at the tanghulu in her hand. The bright red tanghulu and the golden sugar dregs complemented each other beautifully. Together with the sweet and sour taste, it was indeed very appetizing.
Taking a small bite, Miss Yue's face immediately broke into a smile of extreme enjoyment. Jiang Cheng looked at her face, which could be considered an outstanding beauty, and said absentmindedly, "Not bad, not as bad as I thought."
"Not as bad as you thought?" Miss Yue, who was gorging herself, heard this sentence and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?
I'm saying that you're not that bad. " Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, we have to report."
Report? Miss Yue was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, we still have to participate in the selection." However, at this moment, she did not feel any resistance at all. Perhaps it was because Jiang Cheng's appearance had added something else to her heart, but in the face of an unknown future, the little girl actually did not feel the slightest bit of panic and confusion.
After eating the tanghulu, the two of them went directly to the inn where the participants of the selection were arranged. The place was deserted, but still orderly.
May I ask if you are here to participate in the selection? The waiter noticed the two of them and hurriedly went up to greet them.
"Hmm, is this the place?" Miss Yue asked softly with a gentle smile.
The waiter was immediately dazed by the bright and beautiful girl in front of him. However, he still had his professional ethics, so he hurriedly shook his head and then nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place. However, after the two of you have checked in, you can't rush, because the other participants of the selection have not arrived yet."
"Of course." Miss Yue nodded, then took the room card from the waiter and went directly upstairs. Jiang Cheng did not follow her up, but asked curiously, "Do you know what happened in Black Wind Mountain?"
Black Wind Mountain? The waiter had a blank look on his face. Isn't it just the nearby mountain? What happened?
Jiang Cheng was immediately speechless, "All the girls who participated in the selection died there, and you didn't even receive any news?"
The teapot in the waiter's hand immediately shattered on the ground, and his face turned green and pale. The strange cultivation that he had been suppressing suddenly burst out, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Was it done by those bandits?"
"I am here to escort my Miss to participate in the selection. If I did not have a bit of cultivation, I am afraid that Miss Yue would also have been killed. Although we managed to clear out the bandits on the other side, those young girls …" At this point, Jiang Cheng's face also revealed an incomparably regretful expression.
"Oh? What is your cultivation now? " The waiter did not hide his identity at this time, and said with a smile, "I am the commander of the Nine Cities Military Department, surnamed Wang, named Chenglong."
Wang Chenglong could naturally see that although he could not see through the cultivation of this young man in front of him, no matter what, this was not a simple person. Wang Chenglong immediately put on a more amiable and approachable attitude. If it was in normal times, such a young man with no family background would probably not even look him in the eye.
"My surname is Jiang, and my name is a single character, Cheng. As for my cultivation, I am not very clear about this." Jiang Cheng put on a very pure smile, and even said with some fear.
Wang Chenglong carefully observed, but still found nothing. He smiled faintly and said, "Little brother, your cultivation is not bad, but even I can't see through you. It is really strange."
"Brother Wang, then do you think that all the people who participated in this selection are dead?" Jiang Cheng said with some worry, "Then how can the selection continue?"
Wang Chenglong looked at him with a somewhat strange expression, "Don't you know, the candidates for the peace marriage have already been decided, the so-called selection is just a pretense."
"What?" Jiang Cheng was immediately dumbfounded. Since this candidate had already been decided, then wouldn't all his arrangements be useless?
"That's right, the confirmed candidate is your family's Miss." Wang Chenglong saw his expression, and immediately said with a smile, "Other people's families are afraid of being chosen, but you actually have that kind of expression after hearing my fake news. I really don't understand what you are thinking."
"I have to talk to my family's master about this." Jiang Cheng put on an expression of extreme admiration, and then said in a solemn tone, "Old Master said, since someone must make a sacrifice, why don't we, the Yue Clan, make a sacrifice, using the happiness of a woman in exchange for the peace of the Northern Borderline. This can be considered as not letting the Lord's kindness to the Yue Clan go in vain."
