With the influx of supplies and money from the south, the construction of Yunzhong County is in full swing. Ji Ya took a trip to Droy City, and after discussing the policy, a large number of caravans arrived in the next month or two. With Old Burke and Tursun as their guarantors, the Droy merchants opened the trade routes, and it was not long before they built a bridge between the Northwest and the South China Sea.

After learning of the construction of a money bank in the northwest, the merchants also opened a money bank in the city of Droy, so that the two places could carry out exchange business, and the caravans carried goods back and forth, and the money was cashed in the local bank.

Mo Luo took two trips of supplies for Ji Ya, and also witnessed the beginning of the transformation of Yunzhong County. She has also seen some of the princes in the world, and it is not easy to manage the territory well in troubled times, only endless fighting. Senior sister Mu Xiaoyue prefers the life of the Lingshan Sect, and after her death in the Demon Cloud Sea, she has no goal, she can only think about cultivation, maybe everything will pass in a few hundred years, and she can look down on everything.

Because Lin Yue was invited, he came over to see the situation. The smiles on the faces of the people when they received the food they had brought from the south touched the magic lotus, maybe it was really different here...... After that, Mo Luo met Ji Ya and agreed with each other to transport supplies for the north and south every three months, and then disappeared in front of Ji Ya.

Because the development of Yunzhong County is accelerating, the burden on the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce is not small, even so, Huadu's Trench still has to find time to practice. In fact, although Hao Le is Lin Yue's disciple, he is actually not very concerned about cultivation or martial arts.

In his view, what he needs is the means to change the future, to increase his own strength or increase his wealth, all for personal reasons.

However, he has a strong overseer, and that is Lang Siqi, the eldest lady of the Hou family in Huadu. No matter how busy he is at work, Lang Siqi requires that he must practice for two hours a day. After all, her previous life was Daozu Ma Ling'er, and her dedication to knife skills has been engraved in her soul. It is impossible to practice knives in her life, so supervising the music has become a part of the eldest lady's daily life.

However, recently, she has also relaxed a little about the trenches, because not only the situation in the northwest has changed, but the battle of the Cloud Piercing Pass has also lasted for half a year, and she is also faintly aware that her father no longer seems to be so important to the entire flower capital.

The reason why the four giants of Huadu came up with a Huadu Marquis at the beginning was for an official identity, and the imperial court is now majestic, and then whether the Shu army wins or the princes' coalition wins, the transformation of the imperial court into a puppet is a foregone conclusion, maybe it is time to persuade my father to retreat while he is now.

And when it comes to the battle of Chuanyun Pass, there has been a lot of consumption on both sides in the past six months, and some small princes can't afford to spend it, but it's not good to leave in advance and become the handle of others' attacks, so they can only work but not contribute. And the Dayu Dynasty in the southeast, the salt bandit Bai Jingcheng, etc., also made a few noises from time to time.

Although the Shu army also suffered heavy losses, the alliance of the princes hindered each other, and in the end it did not open up any situation. And Ji Ya of the Yunzhong Military Region rose strongly, with 100,000 troops in just half a year, which made the Ma family feel like a fish in the throat, for fear that Ji Ya would raise troops to the east.

Shu Marquis Xi Ze Yaoshi also got the news, and appropriately proposed that Lin Yue's Yunzhong pacification envoy was the imperial court's seal, and now the court is under his control, and it will naturally not work without his approval, so that some people who don't know the truth mistakenly think that Ji Ya, or that Lin Yue's forces are allies with the Shu army.

Just because the alliance with the Shu army is the enemy of the world, Lin Yue used Ji Ya's princess identity as a shield. For a while, Shilin had some voices of condemnation of Lin Yue, but many people remained silent. After all, Lin Yue's reputation is too heavy, and he hasn't really expressed his position now, if he really lets the people of the world run to the side of Shuhou, wouldn't he add another strong enemy?

This true or false news made people all over the world speculate in vain, not only the Ma family, but even Jindi was worried about Lin Yue's movements. Thinking that the enemy still had 100,000 reinforcements not yet on the battlefield, the minds of the various families in the alliance of princes also began to panic. Of course, some people also proposed to win over Lin Yue, if the Yunzhong Military Region could make a detour through Wuguan to attack Shuzhong, it would definitely have the effect of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Not only the minds of the princes, but even the Marquis of Shu Xi Ze Yaoshi was also surprised, the development of Yunzhong was a bit unexpectedly fast, and now it is claimed that there are 100,000 troops, although I don't know how much water there is, but it is certain that it will not be in the minority. Moreover, the elite degree of the Yunzhong Military Region is beyond doubt, and now what he is worried about is the same thing as what the princes' coalition army is looking forward to, Lin Yue is sticking a knife in the back of Shudi.

was going to drag on for a while, watching the group of local chickens and dogs outside the gate collapse on their own. Now Xi Ze Yaoshi is worried about Lin Yue, but he also wants to end the confrontation as soon as possible. But even so, it is difficult for them and the princes to take the first step back, and now the entire northern war situation is a mess.

......

Bidding farewell to an acquaintance in Huadu, Ziyun and the maid Zhuge Leng continued to embark on the journey, now he is no longer entangled in the old hatred, everything that should be repaid has been avenged, and the future days are only for himself, of course, there is Zhuge Leng who depends on each other.

If Ji Ya is determined to be in the world, and Trench is determined to be wealthy, then Ziyun is the only one among Lin Yue's apprentices who is interested in the rivers and lakes.

It's not the first time that the two of them have stayed in the mountains and forests overnight, they don't go to the village and don't go to the store to dig a pit and make a fire, the two of them practiced first, as always, and Ziyun was unexpectedly cleaned up again.

After dinner, Ziyun sat down and breathed for a while, and then began to chant scriptures that Zhuge Leng didn't understand.

Zhuge Leng shook the fire and said, "You're thinking about these strange things again." "If she can still understand meditating and practicing qi, what's the use of reciting something?

Ziyun stopped and said to her, "Actually, you are the one who needs to recite Huang Ting the most. ”

"I don't want it. Zhuge pouted coldly and said.

In fact, Lin Yue and Ziyun said the truth of this earlier, you must know that the path of cultivating immortals was walked by countless predecessors, and in addition to the cultivation of spells, it also contains many ideological components. If you only practice spells and don't practice the classics, it will cause a disconnect between the exercises and the realm.

Just like the rich and the poor, they know how to run a family because they are poor, and they know how to run a business because they are rich. When the poor become rich or the rich become poor, there will be extreme psychological discomfort, which will also lead to behavioral deviations.

In terms of practice, Ziyun is okay, he has practiced a little bit by himself, although Lin Yue and Ji Ya have been passed on to practice, but they are also slowly opening up, and they also pay attention to the cultivation of their state of mind in private, and they have retreated many times to recuperate from injuries and calm their minds.

And Zhuge Leng is just as Ziyun said, because after taking Qiu Lin Bilian, a powerful cultivation is too easy, so the potential danger is higher than Lin Yue and Sanxiao. Ziyun also persuaded Zhuge Leng. But after all, she is not from the Xuanmen, and the stronger the thinking of the people in the rivers and lakes, the better. If she persuades too much, she will only reply, it is useless to say that it is useless, come down and fight to see who is powerful.

Early the next morning, the fire was extinguished, and the two set out on their journey again.

Now they are in the territory of Chu Hou, and according to the map, they turned over the hill in front of them, and it was a small town by the lake. It is named after a canal in front of the town on which a large stone bridge was erected.

Although the sun shines into this mountain forest, it makes me feel very cold, and after passing the mountain, I really see a small town, under the breeze and sunshine, the lake is sparkling, which sets off the peace and tranquility of the town. The haze of war outside doesn't seem to have affected here.

After sleeping in the open for a long time, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng planned to take a break in Shiqiao Town, and rest for three or five days first.

This town is not big, and there is only one inn in the old Su family.

After booking the room, the two of them cleaned up their mood and prepared to wash the dust. At this time, a beautiful girl came in with a basin of water: "Guest officer, wash your face first......" When she entered Ziyun's room, she saw that Zhuge Leng was also there, and she wanted to wait and go to the women's room, but she didn't expect to bump into the two together.

Zhuge Leng didn't care how she usually repaired Ziyun, but she was still a maid after all: "You let me come." ”

Ziyun chuckled lightly and then asked, "Trouble girl, the girl is busy all the way, it seems that you should be a member of this family." "Since the name of the store is Sujia Old Store, it should be a family-style inn. From greeting to leading, to fetching hot water, except for a middle-aged man on the counter, only this girl was busy.

The girl smiled: "Yes, guest officer, this small shop is not big, so there is no other hired person, my father is there at the counter, and my mother is in the back kitchen." ”

"That's Miss Su, right? ”

"My name is Su Fang, if the guest officer needs it, just shout down directly. ”

"Then there's Miss Lausu. As he spoke, Ziyun took out a piece of broken silver.

"Guest officer, this is ......" Su Fang didn't understand Ziyun's reward very well.

Ziyun, who traveled from south to north, naturally understood that this small place was different from a big city, especially this kind of small shop, and the people who came and went were not big customers, so it was naturally rare to give such a reward. So Ziyun said: "We haven't had a good meal for a few days. I also asked Miss Su to prepare some meals. ”

"Oh, okay, wait, officer. ”

Seeing Su Fang walking away, Zhuge looked at him coldly and said, "It's quite generous, Young Master Ziyun." ”

"Huh. "Although the nobles have the habit of rewarding, but Ziyun is a person in the rivers and lakes, although he is not short of money now, he is not rewarded when he sees someone, and it is still the first thing to look at.

After another night's rest, the master and servant got up early in the morning for morning exercises, and there were three or two other guests in the hotel, who were either casual merchants or passers-by visiting relatives and friends, and basically only stayed for one night and left.

After practicing and having breakfast, the master and servant were ready to go to the town for a walk. It's not a big town, and it seems that everyone knows each other, and everyone says hello to each other.

The silence was broken by a whoosh, and it turned out to be a baby in a woman's arms crying loudly, and the woman kept coaxing.

There were women who knew each other and asked, "Sister-in-law of the Zhu family, why is the child crying so much?"

"I don't know, but I also fed the new lining in the morning. ”

"Don't be uncomfortable. ”

"I went to see it yesterday, and Dr. Xu said there was nothing wrong with it. ”

In an instant, several women gathered around and began to discuss. Such a slightly warm scene, you can't see it in Huadu, if today's chaos is also broken, maybe this town is blocked by mountains and lakes, in order to ensure a trace of tranquility.

Walking further, Ziyun greeted, "Hey, Miss Su, are you out to buy vegetables?"

Su Fang, a girl from the inn, carried a vegetable basket on her arm: "It's a guest officer, the inn needs to prepare some fresh vegetables, and I have to buy them every day." ”

The aunt who sold the vegetables bundled the vegetables: "Okay, girl, add these." ”

"No, auntie, you're giving too much. ”

"It's okay, anyway, you girl doesn't have much chance to buy vegetables for your inn, and in a few days, she will be someone else's daughter-in-law." ”

Su Fang smiled: "What's the matter, I agreed with Ziyuan, and I will occasionally go home to help." ”

Ziyun asked, "Miss Su's good things are coming?" ”

The aunt who sells vegetables is also a talkative person: "You don't know this little brother, Su Yatou is going to marry the second son of the Xiao family in the kiln factory, not only has a good appearance, but also has a hard character." How many girls are looking forward to it, but Su Yatou is so fateful. ”

"Auntie......" Su Fang was thin-skinned and didn't want to mention her marriage too much. But there was more melancholy in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about the old woman...... Hao Laosi, I still don't want you to sell the stall for you!?" said the aunt who sold vegetables and said to a person who had just started to tidy up the raw meat stall.

I saw that Hao Laosi took out half a fan of pork from the well cellar behind the stall, and said a little sluggishly: "Don't mention it, I don't know what's wrong recently, I have blood mold." ”

Someone around said, "Could it be that the fourth brother didn't serve his sister-in-law well?" After that, the crowd laughed, and Hao Laosi also laughed and scolded for a while.

Su Fang suddenly said, "By the way, guest officer, do you have anything you want to eat at noon? I'll prepare it for you now." ”

"In this way, why don't you steam meatballs at noon and eat them...... Xiao Leng, what do you see?" Ziyun asked.

On the corner of this happy little street, no one noticed that a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at this place.
