Chapter 17 A Chopstick
The core members of the North Pole Heaven, especially the North Pole Heaven Lord Xuanwu, have always been very confident that the North Pole Heaven is the Black Pole Heaven that is not moving as a mountain and hard to know as yin.
But the people at the bottom obviously don’t think so, especially now, in order to ensure their own safety, the core has directly and unilaterally cut off all channels for upward reporting, completely like letting the people below die, they all feel that they are the earth dragons that can only crawl around in the soil forever.
Except for a better name, it is actually not as good as a cucumber.
After all, no matter what, the grasshoppers can still enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. Unlike them, they can only crawl in the soil forever. Once they see the light of day, what awaits them is to be caught as bait, or fall into the mouths of chickens, ducks and geese.
However, as the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
Although the core layer of the Arctic Heaven cut off all upward channels as an aspect, leaving the lower Arctic Heavenly Staff completely in a state of chaos with no heads, after more than ten days passed, when it was confirmed that the people above had indeed abandoned themselves, the remaining strongholds that had not yet been captured by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen were much closer than in the past.
Since the people above are unreliable, they can only rely on themselves and start saving themselves.
Of course, sometimes, this kind of closer connection than the past often does not bring good results. For example, many strongholds that were not originally discovered by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Liushemen were unfortunately exposed because they were implicated by those captured strongholds.
But even so, the remaining strongholds are only more careful when passing messages and meeting each other, and selecting an ordinary location separately as a communication place to avoid being known by others to the address and appearance of the stronghold. They are not so scared that they never dare to move again because they are involved in the stronghold.
Being caught may indeed be a frustrating and fearful thing, but closing yourself and hudging into a confined space can only bring a sense of uneasiness. The feeling of waiting for the guillotine to fall like a judged prisoner is no better than being caught after being exposed.
Therefore, the day after Kang Jinlong tried to approach the stronghold named "Wufu", he was turned away. All the personnel in the stronghold named Wufu disappeared overnight, the news spread among the many Arctic sky strongholds in the city.
It can be imagined that the people of the North Pole Tianmen who escaped from the "Wu Mansion" stronghold, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. While successfully finding a place to take them in, they also spread the news like a large net.
And the reactions of the strongholders to this news were also different.
Most people think that they are unable to protect themselves now, and it is better to have less than more things! It is best to treat it as if they don’t know this and don’t know Kang Jinlong, so that the matter can be dissipated.
Anyway, Kang Jinlong is not their North Pole Heaven. No matter what the final result is, how much does it have to do with them? Even if the communication channel with the above is restored later, the people above will not blame them if they know the news.
After all, it’s not that we don’t want to leave Kang Jinlong behind. We really don’t dare to take the initiative without the instructions from you “big brothers”.
Another small number of people believe that Kang Jinlong, who was wandering alone in the capital, was a big threat to them.
This can be seen from the fact that the other party was able to find the stronghold that transformed into the "Wu Mansion" and came to the door with confidence, and asked to take it in.
Although the East Jitian and the North Jitian are thousands of miles apart and are not too familiar with each other, they are all under the big hat of Tianyan Sect. In particular, Kang Jinlong was originally one of the seven star masters in the East Jitian who was second only to the Lord Qinglong. Who knows how much confidential information he knows?
Now he has not been discovered by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushumen people. If he is accidentally caught by one of the three major yamen, he may become an extremely dangerous existence for them.
Therefore, these people think it is best to find this uncertain risk factor and clean it up in time.
Of course, the city is full of Jinyiwei, Liushemen Constable and Dongchang Manzi. It is too dangerous to do it. Therefore, it is best to deceive Kang Jinlong into the stronghold when he comes to the door again next time, either use poison, mechanism, or besiege until death, so as to completely solve this threat.
There are still a small group of people from the North Pole Tianmen who are extremely rare, and they believe that this Kang Jinlong can be used.
After all, no matter what, Kang Jinlong is one of the seven star masters with very high status in Dongji Tiantian. Even though Dongji Tian has been completely wiped out by the court, their status is finally there. They can use this Kang Jinlong to find a way to restore the communication channels with the above again.
Although the three groups of people had a very different number of people, the communication channels with the upper level of the Arctic were blocked at this moment. The city was full of Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi and Liushenmen Constables, and they could not communicate smoothly with each other. In fact, the advantage of the number of people could not have much effect.
The attitude of each stronghold towards Kang Jinlong is entirely based on the thoughts of most people in this stronghold, and more importantly, the thoughts of the leaders of each stronghold.
Each fights.
This is the most appropriate word used to describe them nowadays.
Among the various strongholds, they completely gave up the idea of persuading others, and they were completely gambled on the luck of Kang Jinlong.
Let’s see which stronghold Kang Jinlong would go to and how the stronghold he went to treat him.
If you are lucky, you just happened to run into the smallest number of people. If you hope to use Kang Jinlong to open up the stronghold of communication channels with the upper level, you will definitely treat it as a treasure in your hands.
If you are not lucky, you will hit the hands of those strongholds who think that his existence is a huge threat. What is left for him is either a glass of poisonous wine or a sword, and you will die with your eyes open.
Of course, in more cases, it should be that he was rejected as if he went to the "Wu Mansion".
No, I should have pretended not to know him at all and drove him away with a bad attitude.
But what all the strongholds did not expect was that after three days in a row, Kang Jinlong still did not appear. If it weren't for the escape of the Northern Sky Gate people from the Martial Palace, who had escaped, they were in various strongholds at this moment and had sweared that they had not lie, they were afraid that these strongholds would have regarded this news as a joke.
But when she was sure that this was not a joke, Kang Jinlong had not had this situation for three days, but it inevitably made the leaders of various strongholds feel uneasy.
If Kang Jinlong left the capital after being rejected by the "Wufu" stronghold and found another place to join him, it would be fine. If Kang Jinlong, who had disappeared for three days, was caught by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang or Six Gates, and was being tortured at this moment, wouldn't their previous worries become a terrifying reality?!
...
While sitting up and down the strongholds in the Arctic sky, while using extremely limited useful power to carefully investigate the situation, Kang Jinlong, who was "thinking" by dozens of people in these strongholds, was looking forward to his eyes and locked his eyes tightly on the stall about ten steps away from him. The white steamed buns that were emitting white steam, and could smell the aroma of flour just by looking at.
Since that day he failed to try to get into the "Wu Mansion" stronghold, Bai Shier came to order him to suspend all actions the next day, waiting for instructions, three days have passed, and he has only been hungry for three days.
At first, he felt that the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers.
This time, in order to get involved in the Arctic strongholds, I pretended to be a refugee, so I should have food and drink. Even if I am worried about being discovered, I have to give him a few steamed buns so that he can at least have enough food.
But after three days in a row, he hadn't even seen a hair, let alone steamed buns.
Bai Shier seemed to have completely forgotten him, and he never appeared once every three days.
In three days, he only ate two bowls of porridge that were given to the rich, and the familiar taste of hunger came to him again.
And today, he finally couldn't stand the taste of hunger, so he decided to "return to his old career" and snatch a few steamed buns to suppress his stomach that kept making wailing sounds.
However, just as he made up his mind and started to take steps under his feet, a slender black shadow suddenly passed by his eyes, which scared him.
The steps he had just taken were quickly taken back, and at the same time he looked around vigilantly, preparing to turn around and run away when he saw that the situation was wrong.
Although the chief officials of the three major yamen, the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang and Liushemen, participated in this plan and provided great help. But the people under them, especially the Lishi, the lieutenant, the Crown Prince and the Constable who inspected the city all day, had no idea of his existence.
Therefore, he cannot reveal his identity.
Fortunately, after a rough glance around, he did not notice anything unusual. He completely let go of his heart, and then he had the time to look down at the slender shadow that scared him before.
Lying on the ground was a chopstick.
xxxx!
Kang Jinlong, who saw the true nature, couldn't help but curse in his heart. At the same time, he quickly bent down to pick up the chopsticks and was about to turn around and rush towards the restaurant next to him.
During the time when he came to the capital as a vagrant beggar, he learned a lot of "survival skills".
The most common ones are those restaurants and restaurants that "bump into the car" through excuses.
If their requests are not excessive, these restaurants and restaurants will also be used to taking out leftovers from the kitchen to send them off and let them go.
And this time, the other party "takes the initiative" to deliver the handle (chopped sticks) to him. If he doesn't take the opportunity to ask for more food, wouldn't it be a waste of his "good intention".
But just as he turned around and wanted to rush to the restaurant next to him to ask the shopkeeper for an explanation, his body seemed to have been suddenly imposed on his body, and he was stunned in place, and the expression on his face became obscure and difficult to understand.
Then, he saw that he was already straightening his back, holding the chopstick, and preparing to walk over to the shopkeeper of the restaurant. The guy was very good at striking him. He flipped his wrist and grabbed the chopsticks between his middle finger and ring finger, and pressed them against his wrist, causing the chopsticks to disappear from sight.
His originally straight waist bent down again and returned to his previous appearance.
Then, he turned around again to face the stall that he had already chosen. When he approached five steps, his body suddenly rushed out, like a hunting leopard. During his breathing, he ran to the cage in front of the stall in a burst of exclamation. When the vendor just lifted the cage and brought steamed buns to the customer, he was shocked and then looked at him with angry eyes. Before the vendor covered the cage, he stretched and shrank his hands, and used the chopstick hidden in his hand to insert two steamed buns like a fish, and ran away from the distance.
After he had already taken two steps with the steamed buns, he closed the cage as fast as possible, but still failed to stop Kang Jinlong's vendor. He finally blushed, shouted loudly, and chased him towards Kang Jinlong's back as he escaped.
Unfortunately, he was not as fast as Kang Jinlong, and he started two steps later than Kang Jinlong. He was slower and slower. After chasing for nearly twenty steps, he could only breathe and stand in place. While watching Kang Jinlong's back "free and farther away from him", he greeted Kang Jinlong's family and his family, even the eighteen generations of ancestors.
Just now, above the chopsticks, on the second floor of the restaurant, a young man in a gorgeous silk robe was watching this farce like others. Although he did not make a quiet voice like most people on the street outside, a small curve was pulled out of the corner of his mouth, and his eyes followed Kang Jinlong's running figure until his back disappeared around the corner.
"Waiter, check out!"
When he heard a very ordinary "checkout" sound from downstairs, the small curve that pulled out of the corner of his mouth immediately turned into a very bright smile, so that his eyes narrowed into a line because of this smile. He picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it all, and then reached out and pulled out a chopstick from the chopstick cage on the table.
...
"call!"
After escaping the vendor who was chasing behind him at a speed of half a minute faster than when Bai Shier was discovered and was caught, Kang Jinlongqing, who had two steamed buns inserted, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the vendor was chasing him very hard and still couldn't even touch his shadow, as a second-rate master, he didn't spend too much effort at all.
However, he would definitely fill the steamed bun in his mouth as soon as possible after snatching the steamed bun and escaping it, but this time he did not do so.
On the contrary, he seemed to be disgusted with the steamed buns that blocked the original appearance of the chopsticks, quickly took off the two steamed buns from the chopsticks, holding one in his hand, holding one in his mouth, and staring at the chopsticks in his hand firmly.
"Bai, Bei, go!"
On the chopsticks in all directions, there are three sides with a rough word engraved on each.
If others see it, they will naturally be confused, but Kang Jinlong understands the meaning of it as soon as he sees it:
Bai Twelve.
People with the North Pole.
