"Hey, fatty, don’t fly so fast! Wait for ! Let finish!
Uh, where was I? Anyway, later I tied that governnt official’s kid up and brought him back, and the arrest officer gave a hard ti! He said I only got into Six Gates through connections and that I should just sit quietly in Right Supervision, and not cause them any more trouble! Hey! I didn’t agree with that at all!
I said if I really wanted to sit idle, I could just stay in the military town watching the gate. If I wanted fa and wealth, any position in Xun Country would still be serving the court, so why would I co all the way to Jiangdu?
A true man aims far and wide! Make the world your ho! Roam the land! Just like our ancestors, planting the banner of Immortal Venerable all over! With all my skills, how could I stay cooped up beneath others, wasting away and waiting to die in a hole?
So, boss, please give sothing to do! When I’m idle, I really feel itchy all over! Like bugs biting and claws scratching inside! When I see sothing like bandits seizing won, my foot just kicks out involuntarily! I can’t help it!
Finally, the boss was just so annoyed, he said, Liu Lang! The court thanks you for your loyalty, the Minister of Justice thanks you for your dedication, and I thank you for your efforts! Since you’re so free, there’s a tough task for you now, don’t know if you dare take it.
I said dare, dare, dare! Boss, rest assured! The tougher, the better! The bigger, the better! As long as there’s work to do! The more, the rrier! Just pile it on !
So, I was sent to Li Country to survey land."
Chen Xuantian couldn’t believe it, this Yang Yunzhao was simply a rare character, chattering all the way. And...
"Survey land? Survey what land? What, too many refugees fleeing south, and the court wants to redistribute the land?
God, are you out of your mind! Taking on such a deadly task? And coming to this godforsaken place in Li Country crawling with demons and bandits to survey land? You’re seeking death!
At the very least, sothing this big should be led by the Grand Tutor Mansion and the Minister of Justice, with a special imperial envoy stationed in the area, not left for a low-ranking constable like you to handle alone! This is clearly that governnt official’s dad bribing the arrest officer to get rid of you!"
Yang Yunzhao ca up smiling, throwing an arm around his shoulder,
"Ha, fatty! You’re very sharp! I knew fatties are particularly sensitive. Also, I tested your abilities, it’s clear you’re a clever and brave fatty! Perfect partner material!"
Chen Xuantian was utterly repulsed,
"Partner my ass! You just go survey your land! Why drag into this? Did I provoke you?"
Yang Yunzhao grinned, pointed at his eyes, and lowered his voice,
"Let tell you a secret, don’t tell anyone, I can see ghosts."
Chen Xuantian glanced at him sideways, also lowered his voice and said,
"Do you often share these secrets that you’re not supposed to tell anyone with strangers?"
Yang Yunzhao punched him,
"Don’t interrupt! Listen to ! I was born with Yin Yang Eyes! Able to see things ordinary people can’t see!"
Chen Xuantian’s eyes sharpened,
"Oh? What did you see on ?"
Yang Yunzhao was pleased to see his interest, patting Chen Xuantian on the shoulder,
"I saw a lot of fat."
"Damn, I’ll flatten you!"
"Hey, don’t rush, let finish! Actually, it all started when I was a kid watching the gate at ho!"
"How young?"
"About six, why?"
"Six, and your family had you watch the gate? You an they just put you at the door to play in the dirt?"
"Stop interrupting! Anyway, I was just sitting at the gate when suddenly a blind man walked out and said a bunch of weird things to . But I was too young to rember what he said. Until I saw you, then I rembered!"
Chen Xuantian raised an eyebrow, watching Yang Yunzhao puffing his chest with a ’wanna know what he said, ask quickly’ look, pondered, then asked,
"What did that gate look like?"
Yang Yunzhao was stunned, not expecting this question, and was a bit taken aback,
"I can’t tell you that."
Chen Xuantian silently calculated for a mont, giving him a look,
"How old are you now?"
Yang Yunzhao, dissatisfied,
"You want to know when it happened, right? About twenty years ago. If I hadn’t t you, I’d have thought it was a dream."
"Twenty years ago, Luofeng Yang Family..."
Chen Xuantian counted on his fingers, suddenly firing off questions,
"What did the blind man look like? How blind was he? Were his eyes gray or hollow? Do you rember his height and appearance? When he stepped through the gate, did he lead with the left foot or right foot? How did he walk, with a limp or smoothly? How were his hands positioned, crossed over his chest or tucked in his sleeves? How many hands did he have? Could you see his fingers? If unclear, can you walk for to show?"
"Wait, wait!"
Yang Yunzhao heard it,
"You too know that blind guy?"
Chen Xuantian chuckled, flicking his sleeves,
"Whether I know him is hard to say, but he clearly knows . But this kind of mountain folks’ mysterious act, I’ve seen it many tis, nothing strange about it. Just say it, what’s he want you to find for."
Yang Yunzhao replied honestly,
"Nothing much, he said if I et you, I could make a friend."
Chen Xuantian chuckled coldly,
"Make a friend? Haha, I guess he wants to take you under my wing, share so benefits, and maybe help you through a disaster, save your life, right."
Hearing this, Yang Yunzhao shook his head, sighed, patting Chen Xuantian’s shoulder,
"Fatty, don’t overthink it, I, as an upright man, wouldn’t drag others down.
