Chapter 273 Escape
"Father-in-law Ji, it's not that I'm unwilling to remove the blood soul curse I cast earlier. It's just that..."
Jiang Yuanfeng bit his cheek and pounded his right fist hard, "But that curse, there is no way to break it!"
He seemed to be considering everything for the Ji family, and even had a bit of anxiety on his face.
"This time, Lu Xuan must have used some strange magic to make a deal with the immortals, escaping death and avoiding this disaster. Now, if we want to break this curse, we can only ask her for help!"
"However, this person's profound power is strange, and coupled with her relationship with your Ji Mansion, whether the curse will be lifted or cast again, I'm sure that Father-in-law Ji is just as unsure as I am about it."
"The key is that she has a grudge against your Ji Mansion, and she is also the highly respected Princess Jin. She might have been beheaded the moment we met her!"
When Ji Xiangli heard this, his brows became more and more furrowed.
"Lord Jiang, what exactly do you want to say?" Ji Xiangli was a little impatient.
Jiang Yuanfeng glanced at his worried expression, coughed lightly, and then said, "However, there is another way at the moment."
"What method?" Ji Xiangli's eyes narrowed immediately.
"The problem with the Ji Mansion right now is that they're being haunted by hundreds of ghosts. If I can get rid of them, won't Young Master Ji be able to survive?"
He calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled faintly, "However, just to subdue a ghost, it takes a lot of blood, energy and energy. The Ji Mansion has such a large number of people. Father-in-law Ji, you must show some sincerity before you can let me take the risk of backlash and make this trip, right?"
After saying that, Jiang Yuanfeng's hands tapped the table in a regular rhythm.
Ji Xiangli's gift meant that what he hadn't said out loud was clear in his heart.
He snorted sarcastically, "Master Jiang, if my guess is correct, the price for your willingness to endure the backlash is that I promise not to reveal our past until my last breath, right?"
Although Ji Xiangli looked old and listless, he was not afraid at all when facing Jiang Yuanfeng's temptation.
In terms of momentum, the two are evenly matched.
Jiang Yuanfeng originally wanted Ji Xiangli to figure out his deeper meaning, but when he saw that he directly revealed the truth in one sentence, he felt a lot more relieved.
"As expected, it's still Brother Ji. This insight is worthy of being the powerful man in Daliang for more than ten years."
Ji Xiangli ignored the implicit sarcasm in his words, stretched his whole face forward and moved closer to him.
"I can promise you."
He tapped the table hard with one finger, and his cloudy eyes pierced Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes sharply with a bit of gnashing teeth.
"But my condition is that if Si Luan is in any danger in the future, you must go to rescue him!"
Jiang Yuanfeng looked at Ji Xiangli who was overly serious, and his eyes wandered over his face for a few moments.
In the end, it was a deep smile.
He slowly grabbed Ji Xiangli's tense and aggressive hand and put it back calmly.
"Brother Ji, you have no bargaining chips left. But as for your request, considering that I also watched Si Luan grow up, I will agree to it!"
It is not difficult to agree to Ji Xiangli's request.
Judging from his face and complexion, he probably doesn't have many years left to live.
And since he was not sure whether this man would tell Ji Bozhou those secrets, he would naturally think of other ways to make both father and son go to see the King of Hell as soon as possible.
Jiang Yuanfeng picked up the cup lid and rubbed the teacup bit by bit, with a sinister smile in his heart.
If Ji Xiangli leaves first at that time, who knows whether he will help Ji Bozhou or not?
Seeing Jiang Yuanfeng answer so readily, Ji Xiangli felt relieved.
"Then let's go. Follow me to Ji's house!"
Jiang Yuanfeng put down his teacup and chuckled helplessly, "Brother Ji is still the most impressive! When you ask someone to do something for you, you have to ask them to make a trip."
As he spoke, he slowly followed Ji Xiangli and stood up.
Ji Xiangli naturally knew what the man meant by his sour words. He glanced at him and his steps quickened.
"Master Jiang, please forgive me. I am doing this for your wealth and career. If I can't save Si Luan, Master Jiang and the Ji Mansion will be overthrown together."
Jiang Yuanfeng stroked his chin and chuckled softly, "I'm afraid Father-in-law Ji hasn't entered the court in a long time. He seems to have forgotten the repeated reasoning that threats cannot be made public."
Ji Xiangli paused in his quick pace, then pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
Ji Xiangli and Jiang Yuanfeng's carriage soon arrived at the gate of Ji Mansion.
When the doorman saw that it was Ji Xiangli who came back, he quickly opened the door respectfully.
Ji Xiangli stepped over the threshold, lifted up his robe, and asked, "Master, you didn't go out today, did you?"
The disciples didn't expect that Ji Xiangli would ask about this matter as soon as he came back.
His face turned stern, and then he whispered, "At first, the young master wanted to go out for a while, and he came to me to ask me to open the door. But everyone had the master's order, so who would dare to open it without permission? Then I saw the young master return to the courtyard, and then there was no news from him."
Hearing the words of his disciple, Ji Xiangli's heart skipped a beat. Then, he quickly placed Jiang Yuanfeng in the main hall and hurried towards Danbo Zhai.
Before Jiang Yuanfeng entered Ji's mansion, he felt the strong yin energy coming from the house.
Sitting in the main hall at this moment, with the keenness of a person from the Xuanmen, he could immediately smell that in addition to the yin and deathly aura here, there was also the evil aura that must have been caused by a bloody incident in the past.
He took the tea respectfully served by the servant, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that even without him, the Ji family would be finished.
But it just so happened that Ji Xiangli invited him himself.
Then he would just give them another push.
Ji Xiangli hurried to Danbo Zhai.
The servant standing at the door of Danbo Zhai was so frightened when he saw Ji Xiangli coming that he instantly tensed up.
When Ji Xiangli saw this situation, he knew that something was wrong.
He glared at the servant fiercely and asked solemnly, "Where is the young master? Is he in the mansion?!"
Before leaving, Ji Bozhou specifically ordered his servants to help delay the master when he returned.
So at this moment, seeing Ji Xiangli rushing over without giving them any chance to breathe, for a moment, they actually forgot how to answer.
After a while, Qing Mo, who heard Ji Xiangli's voice, hurried over, glanced at the servant at the door, and said quickly, "Master, please forgive me. The young master was not feeling well today, and he lost his temper after you left."
"So he went to bed after returning to the courtyard, and told us not to wake him up before 3 p.m."
"For the sake of harmony between the master and the young master, why don't you go back first? When the young master feels better, he will definitely come to see you!"
Qing Mo is Ji Bozhou's man. When Ji Xiangli saw that he was lowering his head and looking submissive, and seemed to want to stop him, his bad premonition became even stronger.
So, he brushed away the servant and Qing Mo, and rushed in anxiously with trembling steps.
After entering Danbo Zhai, Ji Xiangli still felt a little scared.
That kind of thing just happened last night.
It was only then that he thought that he should find a new yard for Si Luan.
This Danbozhai is haunted. If he stays in there all the time, won’t the loss be even more serious?
But right now, let’s find the person first!
He walked through all the rooms in Danbo Zhai and went straight to Ji Bozhou's bedroom.
He had a premonition that his son would find a way to escape today.
Otherwise, these servants would not have reacted like this.
But his body was so weak and he had been badly injured yesterday.
If I get sick today, I’m really afraid I won’t be able to survive!
Thinking of this, Ji Xiangli's worries became more intense.
"boom!"
He was so angry that he pushed the door open with all his strength.
Suddenly, the scene before him made his expression change instantly.
