Chapter 82 Join (1)
Although, Zhao Zimu was adorned in the brown brocade uniform of the Prefecture of Arrest, but the familiar figure, the cold and out of this earth aura and the face that she used often to deal with her few disciples, made Ye Yiqiu recognize her at first sight even if the light was dim.
Along Ye Yiqiu were several soldiers from the Ye family. They were also people that Zhao Zimu had saved. Their eyes flashed with excitement at seeing her.
Zhao Zimu stepped forward to help him up. A faint joy flashed in her eyes. She looked at him and asked, “How have you been?”
Although not much care from the master to the disciple could be seen, Ye Yiqiu still nodded excitedly. Then, he talked about his current situation in Yanping City.
Ye Yiqiu had been for more than a half year in Yanping City. After listening to Zhao Zimu’s instructions, he arrived at the northwest. He used the relationship of the people of his father’s generation to join the army and became a military officer of defense. The people from his family also entered different troops and began to attack and kill the enemy at the frontier to render a meritorious service and get higher in the ranks.
Also, these people possessed impressive strength by themselves. In a short time, they gradually revealed themselves. Although, because of the short time, they were mixed in the low-ranked soldiers, but even among these low-ranked soldiers, they took charge of functions that couldn’t be neglected. Ye Yiqiu was already a soldier in charge of hundred people. It was a rare thing to be able to be promoted from a low-ranked soldier who could only obey orders to a soldier in charge of hundred people.
Besides, Ye Yiqiu had also participated in the defense of Sha City and Li City. It could be said that he was able to show his presence in the army so quickly, was accomplished because of his own great effort. This wasn’t an overstatement at all.
After learning about Ye Yiqiu’s situation over the past six months, Zhao Zimu couldn’t help but sigh. This was still far from what she wants to achieve, but the current situation kept forcing her to move forward.
She wanted to protect Lin Qing, but she still has too few chips in her hand. After pondering about it, she wanted to find out the situation of the Xiongnu from Ye Yiqiu. However, she found out that the several people had been standing and talking for a long time, and Ye Yiqiu was looking at her dryly. His eyes were aggrieved and strange.
Ye Yiqiu really couldn’t understand why they didn’t go into the room to talk. The room was just behind Zhao Zimu and the light in the room was on.
To be honest, they had been standing outside for so long. Shouldn’t they find a place to sit down? Moreover, their mouths were already dry from talking, but master didn’t have the meaning to find a place for them to sit and drink a cup of water. Ye Yiqiu was really puzzled. Could it be that his master like this kind of way of chatting? Or was it that the room behind her wasn’t the room she stayed in?
Looking at Zhao Zimu’s current clothes, her identity was obviously the subordinate of someone. Ye Yiqiu couldn’t help but guess. Could it be that she is really one of Jiu Qiansui’s people?
The guard of the Prefecture of Arrest?
Ye Yiqiu couldn’t help but suspect because from his understanding of so many years and with his master’s indifferent temperament, he really didn’t know what could impress his master to let her serve him.
Just as Ye Yiqiu was pondering about it, the room behind Zhao Zimu suddenly opened. From inside came out a tall man wearing one layer of clothes.
After glancing once at them, that person said in low voice, “Come in.”
Zhao Zimu touched her nose and then said to him, “No need. I will finish right away.” Having said that, she turned her gaze to Ye Yiqiu and said, “It’s too early today. Go back first. If there are any problems in the future, I will look for you again.”
As she spoke, she walked in the direction of the entrance of the room. Ye Yiqiu stared blankly like that at his master’s back. He was a bit stunned. He had always felt that something was wrong. After the two people at the entrance went inside and closed the door, did Ye Yiqiu came out of daze. The relationship between these two people seemed a bit different.
Was it because of him that master let them stand outside for an hour? If it was like that, what was the relationship between them? Could he be the master of his master?
Ye Yiqiu was a bit stupefied. He somewhat couldn’t accept this fact because he felt that with his master’s temperament, she should be placed high above in a temple and be worshipped. He couldn’t imagine how such a person would be stained with the mundane world. He had always felt that she was someone profane.
Wasn’t the action of master this time a bit inappropriate? Looking at her appearance of now, she should be Jiu Qiansui’s subordinate. If on the way to the army, she still brought grand master with her, would she be punished by Jiu Qiansui?
Ye Yiqiu had immediately woken up from the shock of having a grand master. He really wanted to go in the room and remind Zhao Zimu, but they had already closed the door. Was it inappropriate for him to go in?
Ye Yiqiu left full of entanglement. The reason why he didn’t suspect that the grandmaster Zhao Zimu got for him was also a guard of the Prefecture of Arrest was because that person’s physique was not of someone who had been practicing martial arts all year long. So, he suspected that Zhao Zimu brought that person in secret.
Because only a person brought in secretly wouldn’t have much background.
Because it was so dangerous in Yanping City, it was impossible that one didn’t have the skill to protect oneself. Because of his master’s character, Ye Yiqiu felt that she could do this kind of thing. That was why he suspected that this person was brough secretly by Zhao Zimu.
As for Lin Qing, he had long been excluded by Ye Yiqiu because everyone knew what kind of person Lin Qing was. So, Ye Yiqiu would never think of him.
