Chapter 212: Shangguan Jin

Wind Chaser has no confidence in breaking the formation this time and plans to rescue his senior apprentice brother, who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and military formations. According to his master, he arrived in the State of Wei many years ago and went into hiding.
This person has a peculiar personality, doesn't like lively environments, and never welcomes any visitors. It's impossible to even enter his residence.
If we can manage to invite him this time, it will significantly expedite our progress.
Kou Tongtong also wanted to meet this mysterious person and followed Zhui Feng to come to Yinshan.
This name was changed by Zhui Feng's senior martial brother later on. Shunming has already died, and whoever enters Yinshan is a dead end.
This person used to be a brother with the same master as Zui Feng. The two of them learned different martial arts. The master learned swordsmanship, while this person learned the art of trickery and escape.
Later, this old man met a girl he admired. The girl worked as a maid in a wealthy household. He intended to buy her freedom and elope with her, but the girl was forcibly taken by her master.
Old man came to argue in a fit of anger, but being without any martial arts skills, he was beaten half-dead by the evil slave and thrown into a mountain stream.
Fortunately, he was saved by a tree growing halfway up the mountain and survived. Later on, he lived among humans and it is said that he went to the Wei Kingdom and settled in a mountain, giving it the name Yin Mountain, indicating that he had died and he did not wish to be disturbed by anyone.
Very few people also know his name, it is said to be Shangguan Jin.
This time, Zhaofeng is also uncertain. He is not sure if Shibo will be willing to call him, and even if he sees him, he may not necessarily help him. In order to break the formation this time and take Chu Baoguo away, he can only disturb his old man.
The expression on Chasing Wind's face was very heavy as he walked along the road.
Guantongtong also noticed that yesterday Chasing Wind had told herself that this Shangguan Jin had a strange temper, so she tried to find a way to get her help.
Wind Chaser's eyes are not idle, observing six roads and listening to eight directions, fearing that there may be assassins halfway. The safety of the Queen is the top priority.
Guan Tongtong doesn't say much either, waiting for the person to appear before making a move.
No one spoke on the way.
They arrived at their destination, a hundred miles away, quickly and tied the horse to a tree.
Zhuifeng knew that there were many obstacles ahead, and one wrong step could lead to injury. He said, "The Queen Empress is following behind me."
Guan Tongtong nodded.
Zhuifeng was in front again, and when they entered, it felt like entering a maze. They went around in circles and ended up back where they started, seeing the horse eating grass.
Guan Tongtong said, "How did this happen?"
Fengdao: "This is the Eight Trigrams Formation. Follow me." We walked forward, not taking the correct path this time, and quickly walked out.
What came into view was a small path, with a small stream next to it, in which there were many fish. There were also various exotic flowers and plants, with orchids being the most abundant.
Guan Tongtong found it strange that these orchids were just like the ones in her mother's room, even the pruning was the same.
Continuing on the journey, Zhui Feng caught a whiff of a smell and quickly said, "Cover your nose." Suddenly, he felt weak and collapsed to the ground.
关彤彤缺没事，赶紧扶住追风，道：“你怎么了？”
Zhaifeng replied, "I'm poisoned."
Confused, Guantongtong asked, "But why am I not affected?"
Zhaifeng found it strange as well.
Guan Tongtong quickly bowed and said, "Senior, we have a request and mean no offense. Please come out and meet us."
Zhui Feng shouted, "Martial Uncle, it's me, Feng'er."
"What are you here for?" someone in the air asked, as an old man with white hair and a youthful face looked down from the mountaintop.
Kuan Tongtong supported Zhui Feng and went up, looking ahead.
Zhui Feng knelt on the ground and saluted, saying, "Wind pays respect to Master Uncle."
Shangguan Jin looked at the two and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhuifeng said, "The wind happened to pass by here, so I specially came to visit Master."
Shangguan Jin said coldly, "I am already a dead person, for the sake of our seniority as martial brothers, you all should leave." As he spoke, he took out a small potion bottle and threw it in front of Zhuifeng.
Kuan Tongtong quickly picked it up and poured out a pill of antidote for Zhui Feng to take.
After a while, Zhui Feng regained his strength.
Shangguan Jin felt curious about how Zhui Feng, with such profound internal strength, could get poisoned and be fine.
Guān Tóngtóng said, "Senior...".
Shàng Guān Jǐn shouted, "What senior and junior, hurry and leave the mountain, otherwise I'll activate the mechanism."
Guān Tóngtóng was immediately silenced.
Zhuifeng stood up and said, "Master, I came this time to...".
Shangguan Jin did not let them speak and shouted, "Leave." As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards the stone, preparing to activate the mechanism.
追风忙道：“不要，师伯这次师侄是遇到困难，才来打扰师伯的，请师伯祝我一臂之力，日后任凭师伯处罚。”
Shangguan Jin activated the mechanism, and an arrow shot towards Guan Tongtong.
Guantongtong dodged back and forgot that there was a steep cliff behind her. She accidentally stepped into the air and fell down.
Zhuifeng quickly jumped down and caught Guantongtong, using his sword to gain leverage on a rock. The two of them were suspended in mid-air.
Guan Tongtong broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I'm scared."
Zhuifeng stepped on the stone wall and leaped into the air, with the two of them landing on top of it.
Guan Tongtong's heart was pounding, if it wasn't for Zhuifeng, he would have lost his life in the mountain stream.
Shangguan Jin remained indifferent and said, "Not dead, huh? Hurry up and leave before I change my mind. Both of you will die."
Zhui Feng, frightened after giving it some thought, composed himself and said, "Senior, please help us this one time, for the sake of our master."
Shangguan Jin shouted, "Shut up! I have long cut off all ties with the world, and I have no relatives. Where did you, my nephew, come from? If you keep babbling, I'll treat it as poison gas."
Wind Chaser didn't expect Senior Brother to be so ruthless, but for a glimmer of hope, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Senior Brother, please, just help me this once."
Shangguan Jin shouted, "Get lost."
Guan Tongtong couldn't hold back her anger when she heard this. She stepped forward and said, "You stubborn old man, if you want to help, then help. If you don't want to, then forget it. If you want to release poisonous gas, go ahead, I'm not afraid of you. Even if it means death, it's not the end of the world. You're just hiding here like a scaredy-cat. I think you're just avoiding reality."
Shangguan Jinyi was taken aback, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this, and her face became even colder.
Chasing the Wind wanted to stop her from speaking anymore, as asking for help and saying these words would not be of any assistance.
Guantongtong looked at Zhui Feng's expression and continued, "You can't forget about the past at all. If you could, you wouldn't be hiding here, but rather looking out at the world."
Shangguan Jin is about to activate the mechanism again.
Guan coldly laughed and said, "Go ahead and use the poison. Worst case scenario, we will just die. We didn't come here with the intention of returning alive. I followed to see that there are still people like you in this world."
上官锦嘴唇颤抖，也许是太多年没有跟人交流过，也许是关彤彤说到他内心深处了，全身颤抖，怒视着关彤彤。
关彤彤冷声道：“看什么看，我说的有错吗，受一点挫折就选择逃避，你躲在这里修仙啊，仙人看到你这样也不会渡你。”
Denounce the worthless words of Shangguan Jin.
Chase the Wind believes that this time is certain death, hurriedly says: "Master, it's my fault, I shouldn't have come to disturb you. She is the Empress of Danning Kingdom, your disciple is willing to take full responsibility."
Guān Tóngtóng coldly said, "Don't tell him about my identity, I will curse you even if I'm just a commoner."
Shàngguān Jǐn said, "What a sharp tongue you have."
Guān Tóngtóng said, "I only criticize things, not people."
Shangguan Jin said coldly: "I see that you are targeting me."
Guan Tongtong hesitated to say: "Yes, I am targeting you. You are as stubborn as a rock."
Shangguan Jin shouted: "You dare to speak to me like that, you little brat with yellow hair."
Guan Tongtong said, "What is there to be afraid of."
Chasing the Wind didn't dare to offend either side, bowing to one side and saluting to the other side.
Guan Tongtong shouted, "Let's go, Chasing the Wind. We don't need this stubborn old man. The Earth will still turn without him."
The flesh on Shangguan Jinqi's face keeps bouncing.
Chasing Wind regrets coming here and seeing Shangguan Jinqi being so heartless. He bows and says, "Nephew is relieved to see Uncle's good health. I take my leave."
Guang Tongtong turned around and walked back.
Zhuifeng followed closely behind.
"Did I say I wouldn't help you?" Shangguan Dao asked.
The two of them were startled.
Shangguan Jin said coldly, "If you don't want my help, you won't even pass the first hurdle."
Guān Tōngtōng smiled and said, "So you're willing to help us?"
Shàng Guān Jǐn said, "Articulate."
Guān Tōngtōng smiled and said, "If I have offended in any way, I hope senior can forgive me."
Shangguan Jindao: "Forgiveness is not in my nature, I hold grudges."
Guan Tongtong: "Then settle the score later."
Shangguan Jin asked: "When will we break through the formation?"
Zhuifeng: "Tomorrow."
Upon seeing the urgency of time, Shangguan Jin said, "Let's hurry down the mountain."
The three of them descended the mountain together.
They had a smooth journey and arrived at the inn.
The innkeeper had already prepared the meal, so they ate first.
At a banquet.
Zhuifeng said, "With Master coming tomorrow, breaking the formation will be much easier."
Shangguan Jin said, "I set up the trap at the Yanta organ on Mount Yuanbao. Even if they made some changes inside, I can still break it with my eyes closed."
Upon hearing this, Zhui Feng raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you, Shibo (Master's brother)."
Shangguan Jin asked, "How is your master doing?"
Zhui Feng replied, "My master is doing well. He has been thinking about you a lot these years."
Shangguan Jin sneered and said, "What a talkative person, can't learn anything good from this girl."
Guan Tongtong hurriedly said, "Why are you blaming me for that."
Shangguan Jin said, "Only you dare to talk to me like this."
Guān Tóngtóng smiled and said, "I was too impolite at that time, please don't blame me, senior."
Shàngguān Jǐn sneered.
Guān Tóngtóng said, "Senior, you have a broad mind, why bother with a little girl like me."
Queen Shangguan Jin has no airs at all as the queen. It seems that Daning Kingdom will definitely prosper with such a queen. I like her from the bottom of my heart.
It's not easy to find a girl like her, cheerful in character, smart in doing things, and using self-motivation to her advantage. I really admire her.
His curiosity grew as he wondered why he could resist his own poisonous gas. Unable to restrain himself, he asked, "Who is your esteemed father?"
Guantongtong was taken aback. How could she answer this? Her modern-day father, whom she didn't know and didn't exist. Reluctantly, she could only speak his name, saying, "My father is the former prime minister, Chu Bufan."
Su Guanjing stood up when he heard it, and became angry immediately.
