The barbarians were going to attack the State of Feng Yun again. It was just a rumor, but it was just an empty rumor. The accident in Tiger City had killed and injured a lot of people.
After all, everything that had happened more than ten years ago was still fresh in their minds. Many of the older generation who had experienced the fires of war were still alive.
Rumors about the 'invasion' of the barbarians had spread throughout the entire northern region. Everyone felt a 'storm was brewing' above their heads. Many people started moving their homes. They were afraid that the war would start again and they would be reduced to cannon fodder under the hooves of the barbarians.
The people were in a state of chaos, and once their minds were in a state of chaos, there were thugs who wanted to take advantage of this chaos and attack from all directions. The originally peaceful northern border was now filled with ma.s.sive scale burns and looting.
There were local thugs and rascals leading the crowd, robbing and murdering officials in the local government, as well as rogue bandits, occupying the mountains as the king, and gathering the forest and mountains.
After hearing all this, Xiang Yun could not help but furrow his brows, worry in his eyes.
The situation in Qin Feng City was already very complicated. He had not expected that the northern region would be so chaotic. Xiang Yun had no idea that the barbarians had invaded, so he asked after some thought.
Mistress Jade nodded in deep agreement, but she sighed again, "Actually, it wasn't that serious in the beginning. After all, with the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the side king's deterrence, the citizens are still confident."
"The thing that really made the Northern Territory chaotic was the news that came from Dragon City almost a month ago. I heard that King Jian was seriously injured when he attacked South Island and Yutang. I wonder if he is still alive now. Once he falls, who else can defend against the Berserkers, the situation in the Northern Territory will go out of control in an instant."
The news of his father's serious injuries had been the fuse that ignited all this. In the past, how could the northern border possibly be thrown into chaos with the King Shoulder in the northwest? Now that the rumors of the barbarians' invasion had spread, everyone was in great danger as they fled. No wonder these cities were so deserted.
Seeing Xiang Yun's dark and uncertain expression, Mistress Jade knew that Xiang Yun was on his way to the cold fortress. She thought that Xiang Yun was a little afraid, so she comforted him softly.
Hearing this, Xiang Yun retracted his thoughts and calmed the emotions in his heart. He then looked curiously at Madam Jade, "Lady Boss, since the northern border is already so unstable, why are you opening a shop here?"
Madam Yu smiled bitterly and said with sadness in her eyes, "I was born and bred. I've lived here with my late husband since I was young, and I only have this kind of inn. As a woman, where else could I go other than to stay? Isn't going there being bullied?"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened and she looked like she was about to cry. She looked both pitiful and touching at the same time.
"Madam Jade, don't be sad. This so-called 'when a boat arrives at a bridge, it will naturally come to an end'. The suffering must come eventually." Xiang Yun comforted her.
Hearing this, Madam Yu's moist, slightly red eyes stared straight at Xiang Yun.
"Although you are right, I am a woman. I am weak and weak, so how can I bring a boat to the sh.o.r.e? Madam Jade only hopes that I can find someone to rely on and entrust my life to."
The two of them were already closer to each other. Madam Jade leaned towards Xiang Yun, looking back and forth. When she looked back into his eyes, she spoke such profound words that the air around them immediately turned dubious.
Xiang Yun looked at the charming and alluring Lady Boss in front of him, his heart already understanding her intentions. His face revealed a pitiful expression as he pretended he did not know what was going on as he picked up the cup of wine and toasted the Lady Boss.
"In that case, I also wish the Lady Boss to find one as soon as possible and to be able to entrust her to me for the rest of her life."
After saying that, Xiang Yun raised his head, about to drink the cup of wine.
Xiang Yun moved, knowing that the Lady Boss's fox tail was about to be revealed. His face pretended to be unaware as he revealed a look of surprise, "Boss, what are you doing?"
"Customer, why don't you accept this servant?"
Without waiting for a response, Madam Jade twisted her body and wrapped herself around Xiang Yun, her burning hot body sticking directly onto Xiang Yun's.
Hearing this, however, Madam Jade ignored him. She placed her arms around Xiang Yun's waist, her fingertips stroking Xiang Yun's back as she said, "Sir, I'm so cold. Quickly, hug me tight!"
"No, this isn't appropriate. I already have a wife and concubine, I'm afraid I can't accept your good intentions." Xiang Yun was still sitting upright as before, his body as unmoving as a mountain.
As he said this, Xiang Yun's body suddenly trembled. He could only feel that behind him, Jade Mother's ten fingers were pressing down on his ten acupoints. At the same time, there was a faint wave of energy violently fluctuating within her body!
"Lady Boss, since you're willing to fast for your deceased husband, don't you need to stop using the color of your skin?"
"Hehe, esteemed guest, you must be joking. When he died, the one he loved the most was me, so he definitely wants me to find a husband as soon as possible. Besides, when he died, he was lonely and pitiful, so he definitely wants to find someone to talk to with him!"
"Hehe, your little mouth is really pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, after tonight, I will not be able to speak anymore. In the end, I would like to ask you a question, I don't know what the name of this guest is, and in the future, I will also offer you a fragrant gift!"
Madam Jade slowly raised her head and looked at Xiang Yun with a coquettish smile. At this moment, there was a hint of a happy smile on her lips. If it weren't for the conversation between the two of them, just from their expressions, one could tell that they were truly a pair of lovebirds.
Hearing this, Xiang Yun lightly shook his head, revealing a disappointed expression, "The Lady Boss is really a stingy person. My value is actually worth your sweet fragrance?"
"Hiss!"
"Storage ring!"
Mistress Jade was stunned for a long time before she slowly raised her head. The seductive look in her eyes had turned into greed!
"This guest is indeed a generous guest. To think that you even have a storage ring. Yumei's love for you is not in vain!"
"Hehe, Lady Boss, I never said that I would give you this treasure, did I?" Xiang Yun laughed involuntarily.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle this."
"Hmm?"
Xiang Yun's eyes narrowed. He hadn't thought that this Yu Niang was actually a Cloud Warrior with a strong cultivation. At this moment, the technique she was using was strange and inexplicable, as if she wanted to devour the blood essence and Yun Li in her body!
Hearing this, Xiang Yun also laughed, "Hehe, evil secret arts huh? I've never seen it before and still want to try it out!"
"Hmm?" This time it was Yu Niang's turn to be shocked. Xiang Yun's current reaction was definitely not one of a person caught up in a scam shop who was on the verge of death. Xiang Yun's reaction was truly fearless.
