Chapter 170: Short love
The human mission left Shengjing and headed north towards the brilliant morning light.
But the immortals and nobles in Beijing were still in a constant stream on the street, gathering in teahouses and restaurants to discuss, and the specific topic was still on Ji You.
After all, this place is closest to Tianshu Academy, and the one they are most familiar with is Ji You.
However, there are usually not many good things in these discussions. It is almost the same as those in the inner courtyard, and it almost makes people's ears grow callus.
If a private practice in the countryside cannot escape from a narrow vision, he will sell his life at a low price.
Some people also think that he did not lay the groundwork for the family development that day, and insisted on offending the major immortal sects, so that he could not even enter the Immortal Palace.
Some people also said that Ji You was actually caught by money and almost caused a murder, but he still didn't have a memory, so he burst into laughter.
Such remarks are everywhere under the sky, and they have become jokes in teahouses and restaurants.
But it’s fine to talk about Xiaoxiao, but what everyone cares more about is the result of this trip, or how the situation will change in the future. After all, this matter is closely related to them.
This is true for all vested interests in the world. They feel that life is comfortable and comfortable now. Even if they cannot become immortals, they are free and free. There is no big difference between them and immortals, and they are afraid of chaos.
"Whether it is trading or receiving barbarian envoys, the purpose of this demon clan has never been kind. I said before, and now it has been confirmed..."
"Yes, the demon clan has always been ambitions."
"This demon emperor will definitely wait for the price to buy the demon clan when traveling to this trip. If he does not allow it, war may not be avoided."
"Then... we cultivators may also want to join the war?"
"There is no need to worry too much. Those who go to the battlefield first must be those who are not as good as me."
"If Han Tieguan really can't be defended, Yunzhou will be miserable."
"Yunzhou has many spiritual mines and has always been a place of great importance. If it breaks with the demon clan and leaves the snowy demon stones, the land in Yunzhou will not be discarded. I think it is Fengzhou that is unlucky."
"Fengzhou...?"
"There are vast and sparsely populated areas, no spiritual ore, and only mortals, which are extremely suitable for combat. If I were the head of the Immortal Sect, I would send my powerful men to move mountains and block roads in Yunzhou and lead the enemy to Fengzhou to start a war."
"Why don't the children in Fengzhou have not grown up anymore and it is difficult to go home even if they go out?"
"Huh? What is this allusion?"
"Hahaha, it's that famous saying of Ji You. He made a crazy wish when he established a noble family in Fengzhou, saying that he should let the children grow up, let those who go out to go home, and let..."
While laughing, the aristocratic family's son who made a sound suddenly became stunned for a moment, then turned to look outside the pavilion, looking in the direction where the convoy left.
In the autumn city of Shengjing, the autumn wind swept by, the fallen leaves are golden, making the look of desolation.
The noise of the others also came to an abrupt end. After looking at each other, he lowered his head and frowned, his eyes sometimes narrowed and sometimes widened, and finally his expression became thoughtful.
It was on this long street with many restaurants, and as the audience finished, two figures walked past.
One of them is Princess Changle of the Chongwang Mansion, and the other is Dou Yuankong, son of Shangshu Dou.
However, the atmosphere between the two seemed a little quiet.
"In fact, the breakup between the demon clan and our human clan may not be of no benefit to us. Previously, Yunzhou Stone and Zhongzhou Stone were always under our control. Later, when the snow demon stone entered the country, we lost our monopoly on the spiritual stone channel, but after this, everything may be back on track."
Zhao Yunyue walked forward silently with a cold face.
Dou Yuankong was silent for a while, then bowed and said, "I know the princess is interested in Ji You, but... he is really a bit too bullying. It's okay to support the scholar, but he also emptied my wallet. I set up a pit and killed him with this exquisite layout. This time, I was helpless."
"This matter...is not hindered."
"The princess doesn't blame me?"
Dou Yuankong couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard her plain tone.
Zhao Yunyue looked forward with a gentle look: "I am interested in Ji You because he has entered the inner courtyard and his physique can be passed down. He wants to give birth to a child with him, but he did not choose me. Why should I blame you for him?"
"I was a little resentful when the Taoist couple was rejected, but now I think about it, I am lucky because the mission made me suddenly see clearly that he is a petty rural villager after all."
"Living in this world is not just about being able to calm everything by being able to rely on outstanding talent. What is more important is vision and planning. Therefore, no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to achieve anything. From this point of view, he is not worthy of me."
Dou Yuankong nodded, agreeing more with this sentence: "This is the case in the world, and origin determines the height."
Zhao Yunyue raised her lips: "However, although your plan has been fueled by the major families and senior executives of Tianshu Academy, it really surprised me."
"Prince is a pity. That night I heard the sound of barbarian envoys going to the demon clan. It happened that the demon clan envoys were by my side, so I got a good time, place, and people."
Dou Yuankong was very modest, but in fact he was also a little proud.
Ji You, who claims to be unparalleled in swordsmanship and outstanding talent, and even the Chu family has no choice, is now being played with by himself. How can he not inflate?
"Where can they go today?"
"It will probably take two days to get to Yunzhou."
Zhao Yunyue's eyes trembled: "He is probably still content with his care. He will not understand what a disaster is to kill him until three days later. I will regret it."
At this moment, a noisy noise suddenly came from ahead, and the neighing of horses rang through the long street.
The two of them looked up together and found that they had arrived at Wei Li's mansion without knowing it.
The origin of the noisy sound was in front of the Wei Mansion. Wei Rui led the horse and wanted to walk out, but was stopped by the Wei Mansion housekeeper and the servants in the mansion in the street. You stopped me and I was shocked.
Dou Yuankong frowned instantly: "Stop!"
The housekeeper of the Wei Mansion turned his head sweating at this time, and when he saw that it was them, he immediately bowed and bowed: "I have met Princess Changle and Young Master Dou."
Zhao Yunyue stepped forward like a frosty face and took a step forward: "How is it so tiring to pull in the street?"
"Princess, it's just a little rude, but a little girl has no choice. The great master and the master are not in the mansion now. My lady insists on taking a horse to Hantie Pass, but she doesn't listen no matter how she persuades her..."
Zhao Yunyue was slightly stunned: "Go to Hantie Pass?"
Dou Yuankong was also stunned: "Rui'er, what are you doing at Hantieguan?"
Wei Rui looked at the two of them with red eyes: "If they go to Hantie Pass, they will die."
Zhao Yunyue and Wei Rui have a bit of sisterhood, and knows what happened to her and Kuang Cheng. He couldn't help but speak when he heard the sound: "Sixianjian's guided personnel will only escort the mission to Hantie Pass, and they will separate within the pass. Those surnamed Kuang do not have to go to the snowy area, and there will be no danger."
"No!"
"?"
"Mr. Kuang said that if Han Tie Pass could not be defended, the immortal cultivators would definitely set the barren and useless Fengzhou as a battlefield. In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, we were already worried that the barbarians who fled to the 100,000 mountains would one day counterattack, so we have always kept Fengzhou for this purpose!"
"Mr. Ji had already understood this matter, so he left with his sword. This time he was to die! Mr. Kuang said that he was not as strong as Mr. Ji, but if the war really started, he could choose to die in front!"
Wei Rui held a letter in her hand, with only two lines of words on it.
The love and hate of heaven and earth can be so many times, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers will not be accommodated for me.
The paper in the world is short, but love is hard to keep.
The scholar was pedantic, paranoid and polite, and had never spoken so explicitly before.
After the words came to an end, Zhao Yunyue and Dou Yuankong's minds buzzed and their eyes slowly opened.
Here, the border between Zhongzhou and Yunzhou.
The vast convoy set off from Shengjing, headed north, galloping on the Daxia official road, causing a wave of dust and sand.
Because the group was large and the gifts they brought were piled up like a hill, they could not take the fairy boat, but to ensure speed, a magic weapon was inlaid in the center of each carriage.
This magic weapon is driven by spirit stones and can use majestic energy to support the entire carriage, reduce the weight of the horse, thereby increasing the speed.
However, because the Daxia official road has been disrepaired for a long time, these magical tools have caused the bumps of the carriages and horses to move forward.
This autumn wind is so refreshing. In the bumpy carriage, Ji You is wiping the long sword he brought. Including the one in his hand, there are a total of fifty ones.
The limitation of his divine thoughts made him unable to distract himself too many times, so he could not achieve the effect of a seven-sword slash with fifty swords.
But if all swords are one move, it can save divine thoughts to the greatest extent.
He used fifty-three swords when the Tian Academy battled. Now he has added water to the surface with more water. If there is more water, it should be more than that time.
Ban Yangshuna also asked him, since the number of controls has exceeded fifty, why not buy some more.
Ji You was actually helpless, because fifty games were not his limit, but it was almost the limit of the governor's office...
When he was shopping in Qionghua Pavilion, he was always careful to control the amount to the limit they could bear.
【The robber’s kindness】
However, the main problem is that Cao Jinsong's longevity peach is indeed too expensive, and he can't afford it for his entire life to work in Tianshu Academy.
Ji You wiped the sword and saw that the sky began to dimly as he moved.
At this time, the team had already entered Yunzhou and came to Hexing City, which is famous for its spiritual stone sales. It saw that there were spiritual stone shops on both sides of the main road into the city, and even a gambling stone industry was developed.
Ji You waved his sleeves gently, and a spiritual energy whistled out, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted up on the ceiling, and then he raised his eyes to look at the shops on both sides.
With just one glance, he knew that he had lost money in buying the longevity peach.
At this time, the convoy slowly stopped in the city and arrived at the Laishi Inn, which was booked by the Sixianjian before departure.
They will no longer go deeper into Yunzhou. After passing Xinghe City, the convoy will go east along the northern edge and pass through northwest of Fengzhou to avoid the barbarian army outside Hantioxiao.
So, they will rest here tonight.
At this time, the geniuses of the Immortal Sect had already gotten off the car and looked around majestic. Previously, there were many people in Shengjing City, and Ji You didn't pay attention to them. Only then can we confirm their identities based on the rumors I heard these days.
The person with a golden crown tied with hair and a blue silk brocade shirt was Jiang Chenfeng, the Wendao Sect, who came from the Jiang family of a thousand-year-old family, and had always had an in-laws with Wendao Sect.
If we follow the relationship, Jiang Chenfeng would also call his personal saint Shang Xiyao to call him a cousin.
He was surrounded by his cousin Jiang Yan and another disciple Tu Xu.
As soon as they landed, a man wearing a black brocade robe and a wide knife tied with a straight blade on his waist turned towards Jiang Chenfeng and bowed to greet him. It was Huo Hong of Shanhai Pavilion, and behind him were junior brother Lu Dacheng and junior sister Jiang Yuerou.
This Huo Hong is said to be the half-brother of the sage son Huo Xingzhong, who was fostered outside the sect and was later admitted to the sect, but has never been recognized.
It is said that someone had asked about Huo Xingzhong about this, but Huo Xingzhong's disdain was particularly obvious.
But perhaps it was because of this experience that Huo Hong worked very hard. He was still young in the immortal cultivation world at the age of 31, but he had been in seclusion for more than 20 years. This is one of the few times he has left the seclusion and is already in the middle realm of the Immortal Cultivation.
Although he didn't say that he had been out of seclusion many times, Huo Hong actually had many rumors in the world of immortal cultivation.
Some people say that he is vicious and vicious and often tortures the disciples in the pavilion for fun.
Afterwards, Yan Qiubai and Xie Chenyu from Lingjian Mountain also came over.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Yan Qiubai comes from Tianjian Peak, the distant niece of the head of Yan Chong, and Xie Chenyu is the distant relative of Tianjian Peak.
The relationship between the three southern sects is better with the three northern sects, so it is not surprising that they get together at this time.
"This Yunzhou is really a wonderful place, with beautiful mountains and rivers and vast land, but it's a little dry."
"I've been in seclusion for a long time, so it's good to go out for a walk."
"By the way, Junior Brother Jiang, I forgot to ask before. During the Tiandao Society, I had a great chat with you, Senior Brother Shang, who was the personal master of the Dao Sect. I heard that he had been in seclusion for a long time, and I don't know when he would break the barrier?"
"It's not too far away."
"The little master of Lingjian Mountain is also closed. I'm afraid the two of them have made an appointment..."
"Before the Heavenly Dao Conference is held, you may be able to see them..."
Just as ordinary immortals often discuss geniuses like them, geniuses also have geniuses who cannot catch up even if they sacrifice their lives, and they always say lyrics in their mouths.
They even talk about what they had met with and be proud of.
On the carriage opposite them were two people from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace. One was named Chu and Chu Butian. Naturally, he came from the Chu family, but his reputation was not obvious. Another was named Qian Jun, followed by an elder in the palace.
The Chen family's immortals were severely damaged due to the previous incident in Qiling, so they only sent an elder from the Wuwang Realm and a disciple from the Rongdao Realm.
At this time, the elders of the six great immortal sects gathered together and took the lead in the inn with a cold expression and an unfathomable aura.
Ji You got off the car and looked up, and saw countless majestic cities and manors lined up under the night in the distance, lined up in line.
Yunzhou is famous for its spiritual ore resources, and its profits are huge. When he first entered Tian Academy, Lu Qingqiu's rich temperament really surprised him for a long time.
"Compared with this place, our Fengzhou is really a barbaric place."
"Just embellish the peace, but the sufferings of the people are the same."
Kuang Cheng followed out of the car and couldn't help but speak, "The people of Yunzhou are relying on the mines of the aristocratic families to eat, but they still need to pay tribute. Young and strong laborers can go to the mines and have a full meal. The elderly and weak will live incredibly difficult times. It's not much better than Fengzhou."
Ji You frowned slightly: "Even the young can't survive, how can there be young and middle-aged people?"
"So these spiritual stone families are very smart. They noticed this earlier, so they allowed the people here to foster children."
"What is foster care?"
Kuang Cheng stood beside the carriage and looked at the brightly lit pavilions in front of him and said, "There is an institution in Yunzhou called a foster home, which was founded by a local family. If a miner cannot afford to raise the children in his family, he can choose to hand it over to the foster home to raise it."
Ji You looked at him: "I think this must not be a charity, otherwise, the people of Yunzhou would not have fled to Fengzhou during the Bailu season."
"Yes, this foster care home is indeed not a charity. Children in foster care will be recorded with sky-high support debts every day. It can be said that they are already in debts as soon as they are born. When those children grow up, they will sell themselves in the spirit mines because of this foster care debt and mine spirit stones for life."
Kuang Cheng paused and said, "About 30% of households in Yunzhou have fallen into it, while the other 70% still need to pay tribute to the offerings every year."
A hint of doubt flashed in Ji You's eyes: "It's already like this, are there people willing to have children?"
"At the beginning, there are indeed some people who would rather die than have another child, but aristocratic families are tempted by money. If one son is ten taels of silver, they can make people live endlessly."
"What's the difference between this and selling a child?"
Kuang Cheng shook his head: "There is no difference, but the word foster care sounds better."
Have babies, mine, give birth to babies, and mine again.
Those ignorant babies may not have thought that they were born to be slaves to immortals.
Ji You turned around and felt that the pavilions and towers were covered with bones: "I just said that the bandits are from the sunrise industry."
"Huh?"
"There are too many aristocratic families that should be robbed, but the small village is far from enough, and it is not enough to be able to do it with the size of Tianshu Village."
At this moment, countless flower-packed sedan chairs suddenly surged in the sky under the night, and the spiritual energy at the bottom of the sedan chair surged, causing endless wind and waves.
And in the storm, all kinds of flags with family emblems were roaring.
Then the sedan chair was chasing them in front of the inn where they were going to stay, and a group of middle-aged people dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing crowns came down. All of them had a good cultivation level and should be elders and worshipers of major families in Yunzhou.
They all held gold-painted prayers in their hands and then poured into the inn.
There are missions in the capital who are heading to the snowy land, and the geniuses of major immortal sects are escorting them. This is not a secret between the aristocratic families.
So since their departure, many aristocratic families in Yunzhou have prepared their visits, hoping to take advantage of their rest in the city and invite them to go with them to have a rich and prosperous life.
Ji You and Kuang Cheng stood outside the inn, and with the lights in the store, they saw both parties get up, bow and greet each other, and then one reached out and the other walked out.
Those from the three major sects in the north received the most visits. After all, Yunzhou is in the north and needs to be taken care of by the Northern Immortal Sect.
Some people from the Southern Immortal Sect also invited them, after all, these people are also noble customers to them.
In the blink of an eye, the genius here was invited to clean up, and even the elders of the Immortal Sect floated away with their hands behind their backs.
Under the night, people saw the immortals Tengxu and the sky, and they all trembled all over and fell to the ground.
At this moment, someone handed a message to Ji You.
"Mr. Ji, my head of the family holds a banquet at home. I want to invite you to come in person, so please give me a look."
"Who is your head?"
"I am from the Lu family, and my eldest daughter and Mr. Ji are classmates at Tian Academy. In this way, the young master should understand?"
Ji You took the call and took a look, smiled and handed it back: "Your lady and I are indeed friends, but let's forget about the banquet. I have been riding in the carriage all day today. I have a bad appetite and can't eat something that is so bloody."
Lu Zhong looked at him strangely, thought for a while and took the pleading letter, then bowed and left, but did not return in the sedan chair, but entered the inn.
At this time, in the inn, the head of the Lu family, wearing a golden robe, was inviting Elder Ge from the inner courtyard of Tianshu Academy.
Hearing that Ji You were not coming, the head of the Lu family frowned and looked out the door.
He has always known about Ji You's defeat of Chu He and entering the inner courtyard, and he actually knows a little bit about his daughter's desire to become a Taoist partner with him.
It is said that this person has a very poor background and will go to every banquet and make money, but he did not expect to be rejected.
But it doesn't matter.
There are so many immortal cultivators coming to Xinghe City tonight. Ji You is the one with the lowest cultivation level, and he is also an incompatible private cultivation in the countryside.
For these Yunzhou families, there is not much more than him, and there is no need to invite him.
Kuang Cheng looked up at Ji You at this time: "Brother Ji didn't tell me before that if you don't eat, those cultivators will be cheaper. If you eat, you can still manage to do more things."
"If you didn't talk about the foster care home, I might have gone to eat it, but after hearing this, I really have no appetite. You owe me this..."
"?"
"Save money well, and you will treat me to a big meal after you come back."
Kuang Cheng looked up at the sedan chairs who were constantly leaving: "But it would be a pity not to rob these ill-gotten gains."
Ji You turned to look at him: "Why did you suddenly become unfaithful?"
Kuang Cheng pursed his lips: "I heard in Yuyang County that Brother Ji was going to be a bandit. I actually didn't understand. I thought you were so hungry. It was not until I looked at countless case files in Sixianjian that I realized that this was the right way."
"Let's go and eat something first. After entering Fengzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to rest. Our poor place..."
Ji You walked towards the inn, ordered a few plates of side dishes with Kuang Cheng, and sat at the table.
In fact, not everyone was invited away, for example, all the envoys stayed.
After all, officials are not as good as immortals. In the eyes of these immortal families, no matter how high the official position is, these people are still ants, so they are not worth being invited home for a banquet or something.
And those officials watched the immortals leave for the banquet, and they dared not speak out.
They have a long way to go on this journey and need to be cautious. The most taboo thing is to create troubles outside the situation. At this time, they can only sigh and lower their heads to eat, but their hearts are cheering.
These escorts obviously have their own ideas. Whether they can send them into the snowy land is really unknown.
At this time, some of the envoys could not help but look at Ji You.
