Chapter 181 Emergency
Yang Yiyi's mood went up and down like a roller coaster. Before the tears fell, she heard that her parents were okay, and she was very angry at that time.
"Uncle, please tell me clearly. What's going on? Why don't my parents live here anymore?"
"You baby, you cry no matter what. Don't worry, your parents are going to enjoy their happiness with your brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law? Which brother-in-law?"
Yang Yiyi has four sisters, and of course many brothers-in-law.
The old man pointed in the direction of Qingyun Mountain: "The guy on the other side of the mountain seems to be your eldest brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law, you are fooling me again. My eldest sister's family is very miserable. How can we get so much happiness just by selling tofu?"
"Yes, your sister has suffered a lot after getting married. She has to take care of the children and grind tofu for her husband to study. But your eldest brother-in-law has become a successful man and has become a civil servant."
Scholars are at the bottom of the official hierarchy. In terms of status, they don't have to kneel down when they see the county magistrate.
But Juren is different. Juren is already the passing standard for becoming an official. Of course, generally no one gives up at this stage, and most of them will continue to take the Jinshi examination.
However, when you reach the Juren class, you already have a lot of privileges. At least the tax exemption alone makes many gentry and local tyrants flock to them. They send money and land to Juren's name so that they can reasonably avoid taxes.
Therefore, a scholar may be a poor scholar, but there is no such thing as a poor scholar.
"Your brother-in-law is also a filial child and has never forgotten his roots. No, the older members of the family left early. Now that they are rich and want to fulfill their filial piety, they took your parents over."
"When did it happen?"
"Just a month or two ago, my stupid son asked your brother-in-law for reward money to go to Qingshanmen to report the news, but I heard that you were away from home."
At that time, Yang Yiyi happened to follow the master to Liu's house, so of course she didn't know about it.
The default rule of the Jianghu is that the wrongdoer has his debtor, and innocent family members will not be involved, but how can the Liu family be handled by the rules of the Jianghu.
The old man's words made Yang Yiyi feel very anxious. She was almost frightened to death. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned the whole story.
"My brother-in-law is probably no longer at his original address. Did they leave any words?"
"It seems that I moved to Tianshui City, which is a big city. I also left the specific address. It is on your desk at home. I made a box to avoid losing it. But I can't read, old man. You go back and see for yourself. Bar."
When Yang Yiyi heard this, she immediately flew over the courtyard wall and entered the house anxiously.
Sure enough, there was a box on the table in the room. When he opened it, there was a piece of paper with a detailed address written on it.
Yang Yiyi was completely relieved now.
Li Chengqi looked at the small box where the note was placed. It looked like an urn.
It’s not an illusion, that old man is indeed not very understanding of human nature...
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Tianshui City is located to the south of Qingyun Mountain. The distance is not particularly far, but generally you have to go around the foot of Qingyun Mountain to get there.
However, the three girls are all skilled in martial arts and are not afraid of walking in the wild. They plan to walk directly over the mountain in a straight line. It happened that Tianshui City was within the scope of Liuzhou State, so we set off immediately after getting the address.
According to Zheng Yinping's estimation, it would take four or five days to reach Tianshui City. The area of Qingyun Mountain is still very large.
The three of them will definitely be on their way during the day, and Li Chengqi plans to teach Yang Yiyi the ‘Qingshan Mind Technique’ when he has nothing to do in the future.
Although the three kinds of martial arts obtained from the secret room are third-rate things, they all happen to be useful.
Qingshan Sword Technique makes up for the shortcomings of the lack of sword techniques in the training box. Although Yang Yiyi is good at playing Ruyi Golden Cudgel, martial arts without sword practice always feels like something is missing.
The Heart Principle can replace Yang Yiyi's current breathing method. Even if it is a third-rate breathing method, it is better than an inferior breathing method. The more internal strength, the faster the recovery of the Qi value, and the more Li Chengqi can directly intervene.
Footwork is a light skill. Since the demand for adding points to the Shen skill attribute is relatively low, Li Chengqi didn't want to waste the Sky Stone on the Shen skill in the early stages. The martial arts learned will also provide some attribute value increases. For example, the Eagle Claw Skill and the Black Bear Three Push Hands can provide a slight bonus to the muscles and bones attributes.
Learning a few more qinggong will also have a certain bonus, not much, but a little bit is better than nothing.
It’s impossible to become fat in one bite, so just learn it first if you can. There is no limit on the quantity anyway.
Seeing that nothing happened on Yang Yiyi's side, Li Chengqi turned to look at the other computer, which was Viola's side.
As usual, Viola had already gotten up to handle official duties shortly after dawn, and would go back to the chapel to pray later.
After paying attention to Yang Yiyi for a few days, nothing happened to Viola's side, and the situation was even calmer.
After all, the Leon Territory is still in the stage of holding back development, and Viola has no intention of leading troops to fight, so it is usually just daily chores.
When Li Chengqi looked at Viola, most of them were looking at the contents of the prayers and how the grain in the experimental field was growing, but they were also nothing important.
It belongs to the stage of idle games where you don’t care about the game.
It was the same today. Li Chengqi glanced at his faith value, which had exceeded six figures. Seeing that there was nothing going on with Viola, he planned to go see Aldai again.
Even though Qian Sen's matter is a matter of horoscope and has not been discussed yet, he still needs to talk to Aldai.
But before Li Chengqi could move the mouse, he saw someone knocking on the office door several times, and the green-haired knight Shelley rushed into the room.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent military situation. The scouts responsible for monitoring the canyon road have discovered that the enemy's troops are mobilizing."
"Could it be that you want to forcefully break through the blasted canyon?"
"No, Your Highness. The scouts met a soldier under Count Fran. He said that the Count was leading troops to try to block the supply line of the Subia Demon Kingdom's army, but they were ambushed and he and the Count's team got separated. The count is probably being rounded up by the Demonic Kingdom of Subia."
Viola stood up immediately after hearing this:
"Where is the soldier?"
"Due to his severe injuries, he has passed away, but before he died, he roughly described the scope of the count and the army's operations."
Shelley took out a simple map from his arms and threw it on the table, pointing to the position of the red circle and said:
"The Earl's team is besieged at the southern foot of the Spine of the World Mountains. It is probably less than two days away from us. The situation is very critical."
This Count Fran is also an acquaintance of Viola. His territory is on the south side of the Spine of the World Mountains. The garrison and the Count's private soldiers combined have about five to six thousand troops.
When she escaped from the capital, Viola was pursued and intercepted by the four-nation coalition. At that time, there were enemy forces from the direction of Earl Fran. Viola always thought that Earl Fran's territory had been captured long ago, but she did not expect Earl Fran. Not only was he still alive, he even dared to cut off the enemy's supply line himself.
When Viola heard the news, her first reaction was to immediately send troops to rescue people.
But she immediately calmed down and turned to the more detailed map hanging on the wall of her office to think about the feasibility.
Now that no one in the four-nation coalition is causing trouble for Viola, it means that she has had a chance to breathe. She can use this time to develop the Leon territory and use it as a base in the rear to provide a material foundation for future counterattacks.
If they act too aggressively, the four-nation coalition forces are likely to turn their forces and point directly at Leon's territory, which will be very troublesome.
And do nothing to save him...
If even the sincere Earl of Fran dies, it will be a heavy blow to the lords who are still resisting. The counterattack in the future will also be very difficult, and they may have to face a large number of their own people who have surrendered to the enemy.
How to choose, this is what Viola must do.
Viola stared at the map for five minutes.
"Tell Wendy and Zola to come over immediately. We need a battle plan."
She has made her decision.
