Sword of Coming

After Liu Zhimao left, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye came over and sat down cautiously.

Liu Zhimao neither used the earthly immortal power to isolate the small world, nor did Chen Ping'an talk to him, nor did he deliberately hide it.

So Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye could still vaguely hear the chatter and laughter here.

Ma Duyi's eyes were complicated.

Zeng Ye looked puzzled.

Chen Ping'an didn't explain much. He just asked about some key issues in Zeng Ye's practice and explained them thoroughly to the young man one by one. In addition to being meticulous, he occasionally broke through the topic with a few sentences and gave a high-level view. Although Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye strengthened each other and could even solve Zeng Ye's doubts, he was still a little lacking compared to Chen Pingan, at least Chen Pingan felt that way. But those words that Chen Ping'an thought were bland fell into the ears of Ma Duyi, who had better qualifications than Zeng Ye, and everything in that cottage suddenly opened up.

It was as if a fairy was pulling the waterfall, but she and Zeng Ye could only stand at the bottom of the waterfall, collecting water in basins and bowls respectively to quench their thirst.

After Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye left, Chen Ping'an opened the restriction on the Great Li Piyunshan Flying Sword.

It's unexpected news.

A minister of the Rites Department of the Song Dynasty in Dali came to Longquan County in person. In addition to inspecting the Wenwu Temple in Longquan County, he secretly visited Wei Bo, the god of mountains, and put forward a new suggestion.

The Dali court recently "redeemed" many hills abandoned by the Xian family forces, and planned to use this to make a big deal with Chen Pingan. Dali owed Chen Pingan the remaining gold and copper coins on credit, and Chen Pingan could use this to buy those Even the Immortal Family's mansion has been opened, and the mountain guarding formation has a "mature" hilltop with ready-made embryos. Once Chen Pingan agrees to this matter, and with the existing mountain tops including Luolu Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain, Chen Pingan will occupy nearly 30% of the mountain territory in the west of Longquan County in one go. Not to mention the amount of aura nurtured by the mountain tops, only the scale. Chen Pingan will This "big landowner" is almost comparable to the saint Ruan Qiong.

Wei Bo admitted in the secret letter that this was a great good thing, but it contained a lot of hidden dangers. The entanglement between Chen Ping'an and the Song family in Dali would become deeper and deeper, and he wanted to distance himself from the relationship in the future. , it is not as simple as the Xu family of Qingfeng City who saw the situation was not good and just sold the mountaintop to others at a low price. The Dali imperial court also spoke first. Once Chen Ping'an owns such a large territory under the jurisdiction of Longquan County, which was demoted from Dongtian to a blessed land, he would need to sign a special contract at that time, with Beiyue Piyun Mountain as the object of the mountain alliance. The Dali imperial court, Wei Bo, Chen Ping'an, the three of them jointly signed a mountain alliance, which was the second highest rank in the dynasty. The highest mountain alliance was that the Five Mountain Gods appeared at the same time. It also required the seal of Emperor Dali to form an alliance with a certain monk, but that kind of specification Only the upper five realm monks, involving the Song family's country Zuo, could allow Da Li to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.

Wei Bo said frankly, "Believe it or not, Wei Bo, whether or not to sign this mountain alliance with Chen Ping'an can be one of the considerations, but the weight should not be too heavy."

When it comes to the road, you must be cautious.

At the end of the secret letter, Wei Bo also said that there was no rush in this matter. He could help delay it for half a year to a year and think about it slowly. Even if the situation in Aquarius Continent had become clear by then and the Song family of Dali had defeated the Zhu Ying Dynasty, If we continue to go south, whether it is Wei Bo, the middleman, or Chen Ping'an, the buyer, all he wants to do is be shameless and shamelessly sign the contract with Da Li. This is how business should be done, up and down the mountain, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Chen Ping'an opened the small wooden box, and Feijian sent the message to Liu Zhimao's exclusive small sword tomb. The island owner helped send the message to Piyun Mountain, and he only needed to reply with two words on the letter, "Okay."

After Chen Ping'an finished doing this, he came to the window. Xu Mao and his ilk, the Changshang generals of Shihao Kingdom, are very likely to rise in troubled times. Once Dali can conquer the Zhu Ying Dynasty, he will take advantage of the trend and move south. Now he has Xu Mao, who was a powerful middle-level military attache of Da Li, was able to command and dispatch an elite cavalry army of Da Li, which was tantamount to adding more wings to a tiger. On the way of the army going south, there was a lot of military glory waiting for him to seize. The key was Xu Mao's character. In terms of skill and skill, he was far superior to the prince Han Jingxin. The difference between Xu Mao and Xu Mao was just his innate identity.

Su Gaoshan is said to be from the Han tribe in the border area. This is exactly the same as Xu Mao from Shihao Kingdom. I believe that Xu Mao's exceptional promotion is related to this. If it was Cao Ping, the leader of another army, Xu Mao took refuge with this general who had one of the surnames of the Shangzhu Kingdom. He would also receive a reward, but he would definitely get a fourth-grade general directly, and he might also be reused in the future. , but Xu Mao’s climbing speed in the military and official career will definitely be a bit slower.

This time on his way north, Chen Ping'an passed through many prefectures and counties. The cavalry under Su Gaoshan's command could not be said to have committed any crimes. However, many rules of the Dali frontier army could still be seen vaguely, such as the previous Zhou New Year's Eve. In the dilapidated state city where his hometown is located, there was a violent conflict in which a righteous man from the Shihao Kingdom risked his life to assassinate Secretary Wen Lang. Afterwards, Da Li quickly mobilized a team of elite cavalry to aid the state city and joined forces with the monks to accompany the army. Afterwards, the principal culprits who were arrested were executed on the spot. , heads were hanged on the city walls, and several high-ranking local officials from the Shihao Kingdom, including the governor and the governor, were all imprisoned to await their fate, and their families were banned from the mansion, but there was no one without any Necessary involvement, during this period, something happened that made Chen Pingan and Su Gaoshan the most impressed. That was that a young man touched the city on a snowy night and stole one of the heads of his mentor. As a result, he was discovered by the military soldiers at the head of Dali City, and the young martial artist escaped, but was soon intercepted by two military secretaries. This matter could be big or small, and it was an isolated case on the way of the army going south. It was reported at all levels. , finally alarmed the general Su Gaoshan. Su Gaoshan asked the young martial artist from Shihao Kingdom to be taken outside the commander's tent. After a conversation, he threw a large bag of silver to the young man and allowed him to bury his master's body in a dignified manner, but the only The request is that the young man knows that the real culprit is Su Gaoshan. He is not allowed to cause trouble to the Dali border troops, especially the civil servants. If he wants revenge, he can come directly to Su Gaoshan if he has the ability.

This matter was widely circulated in the officialdom and the world in the hinterland of the central Shihao Kingdom.

Then there is the first big thing Liu Zhimao said.

A woman in blue and a boy in white.

Chen Pingan smiled.

His mind moved slightly, and he jumped up to the window sill, tiptoeing slightly, and jumped onto the roof ridge, walking slowly and aimlessly, just walking on the roof ridges.

The sword-raising gourd was still on the table, and the bamboo knife and the large imitation quhuang sword were not carried.

Follow your heart's desires and do not exceed the rules.

There is room for everyone in the world.

Finally, Chen Ping'an stopped and stood on the eaves of a roof. He closed his eyes and began to practice sword furnace stake setting. However, he soon stopped insisting and listened carefully. There seemed to be the sound of melting snow between heaven and earth.

There is a Secretary Lang of Da Liwu who is stationed in this city, and a monk accompanying the army who does not know which mountain in Da Li comes from. Of course, it is also possible that he comes from Zhenwu Mountain, one of the ancestral families of Yizhou military strategists.

It was a young man wearing light armor. He was also walking on the ridge of the roof. He had nothing to do today and he was not in the military now. He came to the house with a pot of wine boiled on the stove in his hand. He stopped outside the eaves dozens of steps away and reminded Yizhou Yayan with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you enjoy the scenery. It doesn't matter if you want to go to the city head. I happen to be out to relax, so you can accompany me."

This is a very kind and polite word. As the Great Li cavalry surges like splitting bamboo and is crushed by the horses' hooves, all the people outside the Great Li are naturally foreigners and vassals. However, the young monk's words also contained a warning message.

Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll go back right away."

The young monk was shocked, then laughed, and raised the wine bottle high. It turned out that the young man in the green cotton robe actually spoke in the most proficient Dali Mandarin.

So this young Secretary Wu, who had been in the military for nearly ten years, said loudly: "Yizhou Yun is in the county, Guan Yiran!"

Chen Ping'an looked hesitant, not suitable for self-registration, so he could only clasp his fists at the person and smile apologetically.

Guan Yiran laughed and said: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to our Da Li Iron Cavalry. Wherever the horses' hooves go, it will be my Da Li territory!"

Chen Ping'an looked dazed and didn't know how to answer.

After that, on the third day of the first lunar month, Chen Ping'an and his three cavalry left the city and continued north, approaching the northern border of Shihao Kingdom.

The snow melted.

The spring light makes the willows look brighter, and the sun shines brightly with the smoke of locust trees.

I picked up a lot of good things along the way, such as a stone seal with "Made by Li Cao" engraved on it, and many antiques and treasures thrown away by the roadside as bottles and cans, mostly large vessels and Pocket objects are scattered all over the place. It is estimated that those that are not too big or too small and suitable for carrying have been selected by the fleeing people. In fact, they are all expensive items worth tens or hundreds of gold in the peaceful and prosperous times, but now they are Abandoned, there are also some valuable calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy on the road that have been soaked by the mud and almost destroyed, or treasures sold at low prices to pawnshops in counties and counties that have not been affected by the war. I never thought that Ma Duyi was still a Zeng Ye is obsessed with money. Every time he sets up a porridge and medicine shop in the local area, the two of them will run to pick up leaks whenever they have free time. They have already borrowed money from Chen Ping'an twice. The fairy money is not much, and the total is twelve. It’s not easy to exchange Xue’s money for the gold and silver of the secular dynasty. You have to go to the Xianjia Ferry or the Immortal Inn. Fortunately, there is a woman in the fox-skin beauty talisman who was born in the first-class Shihao Kingdom. Unable to find the top fairy cave, after Chen Pingan fulfilled the woman's wish for a fetus, he exchanged some gold and silver with the fairy money and gave it to Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye to deal with. Ma Duyi specially pestered her for this. Then Chen Ping'an built a large bamboo box specifically for storing gold and silver.

Chen Ping'an had no objection to this. As long as it didn't delay their respective practice and business, he would let them go.

On this day in a small county near the border, after Chen Pingan took the lead in taking the lead with the local government, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi, who were familiar with each other, started busy setting up the porridge and medicine shop. They did not dare to be vague about this. After doing their own duties, they dared to happily go to major pawnshops to pick up pawnshops, because although Mr. Chen did not interfere in specific affairs and almost never even spoke, the two of them had been with the accountant for so long and already knew what Mr. Chen was doing. Style, Mr. Chen will see everything, and will only see deeper than them.

As for the antiques and treasures they picked up from pawnshops with the money they borrowed from Mr. Chen on credit, they are temporarily stored in Mr. Chen's possessions.

This is due to the fact that Ma Duyi was born into an aristocratic family and was a steward of the treasure shop on the island where she lived. She has a good eye, which is far from what the young Zeng Ye can match.

Later, Chen Ping'an was worried that Ma Duyi would miss the mark. After all, the objects they purchased were mostly miscellaneous items. They were wandering among the people from the rich and noble houses of the country. There were all kinds of strange things, so he invited a middle five realm who lived in the imitation Liuli Pavilion. The ghost of the monk helped Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye to hide their eyes. As a result, the ghost object was refined by Ma Yuanzhi of Zhu Xian Mansion into a ghost general sitting in a well. He became addicted all of a sudden. First, he picked up the objects that Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye had missed. , was devalued to the point of being worthless, and then he had to show up in person to leave the imitation glass pavilion and help the two idiots Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye buy real good things. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use fox skin talisman paper. The woman's face appeared in the world. An old man who was a cultivator in the Sea Viewing Realm during his lifetime was able to make such a big sacrifice. It seems that Chen Ping'an's records in the account book are not lies. He is indeed a man who has a hobby of collecting ancient artifacts and other books. In the eyes of the monks in Lake Lake, he is "junk". "Idiot, the account book also records a comment made by a certain Earth Immortal monk in the early years, saying that this Sea Viewing Realm monk, who is always short of money, might have reached the Dragon Gate Realm if he didn't spend carelessly on those items.

Chen Pingan also let the old monk, in front of them every day, he was obviously a graceful beauty, but he would assume the bold and bold posture of sitting with a golden sword and a big horse. Anyway, Chen Pingan had never seen similar scenes. To be honest, at the time In the scene, a "Du Mao" is squirming all day long, with his slender waist swaying when walking, which is actually even more disgusting.

In the evening of this day, Zeng took one of them and two ghosts together, and went to the major pawnshops in the city to pick up leaks. In fact, I often walked by the river without getting my shoes stained. It was an item that even an old ghost in the sea view could admire. It was an ordinary thing. Of course, Yamazawa Yexiu will also be tempted, and even the genealogy master will make a special trip to those war-torn countries, taking this as a rare opportunity to make money. Among the family heirlooms that have been passed down in an orderly manner by many wealthy families, there are indeed a few. A spiritual weapon that contains spiritual energy but has been ignored by the family. Once you encounter this kind of weapon, it is possible to earn a dozen or even hundreds of snow coins. Therefore, Zeng Ye and the others would also meet fellow cultivators. They almost had a conflict in a big city before. The other party was several genealogy masters from a cave at the top of the Shihao Kingdom. No one could talk about taking it by force. In the end, it was Chen Pingan who had to clean up the mess, which made Zeng Ye and the others give up the spiritual weapon on their own initiative. The other party also gave in and invited the wild cultivator "Mr. Chen" to have a drink. They talked happily, but Ma Duyi privately complained about Chen Ping'an for a long time.

Chen Pingan went to a dog meat shop in the market. This was his second time here. In fact, Chen Pingan didn't like to eat dog meat, or he had never eaten it.

It's just that the shop also sells other food. He, a foreigner who doesn't eat dog meat, is sitting alone at a table, not drinking, speaking in unfamiliar Shihao Mandarin, and the table next to him is filled with steaming dog meat stew. The young man in the green cotton robe looked more eye-catching. Fortunately, the shop is a century-old shop that has been passed down for several generations, so there is no snobbery. The old man is the front desk manager, and his son is a cook. The grandson of Mengxue is said to be a famous young scholar in the nearby streets, so customers often tease what will happen to this shop in the future. Come on, the funny old man and the dull man just say that they are both destined to die, so what else can they do? But even that honest and honest man will still have some pride on his face when he hears such ridicule. At home, there is smoke in the ancestral graves, and finally there is something interesting. Is there anything luckier than this in the world for a student who hopes to gain fame?
