In a secluded courtyard of the Chu family, there was nothing to do, and the five princes were playing against the old shopkeeper.

When the chess situation reached a stalemate, the five princes slowly spoke.

"Teacher, now I am like a white child in this game of chess, I can't advance, I can't retreat, if I'm not careful, I will fall into a mortal situation, and please go out of the mountain to relieve me. ”

The old shopkeeper's eyes fell on the chessboard and replied calmly.

"The chess pieces are dead, the people are alive, there is never a game of death that cannot be advanced or retreated, if you want to revitalize the chess game, you need to see something outside the chessboard. ”

The fifth prince asked with puzzlement in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?"

The old shopkeeper has been studying abroad for decades, has read no less than 10,000 books, and has traveled more than 100,000 miles.

Although this world respects martial arts and business, and literati are never valued, literary giants like him are highly valued by today's emperors.

This allowed him to serve as the national prince of the imperial city for ten years, teaching the princes to read.

The old shopkeeper said slowly.

"The ancients said that those who achieve great things must have calmness, be quiet on the surface, collect in the heart, turn into action, and become a thing.

Among the three, the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. ”

The fifth prince gradually came to his senses and said.

"What does the teacher mean...... If I want to achieve great things, I must first cultivate myself, and then seek the three harmony of heaven, earth and man, among which people are the most important. ”

The old shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction on his face and nodded.

"Taught!"

The fifth prince immediately got up and solemnly bent down towards him.

Cultivating one's own tranquility is not for a moment, but seeking harmony, and he already has a suitable candidate in his heart.

This time, the five princes secretly came to this Nanfu City in order to find his enlightenment teacher and ask him to go back to help him.

The battle for the throne has been bloody since ancient times, and no one can help them, even if the five princes are wise enough to protect themselves, they may not escape the end of death in the end.

Early the next morning, after the five princes bathed and changed their clothes, they came to the fitness gym on Shangwu Street with their young attendants.

It was the first time he had come here, and the young man named Wu Luo was a regular visitor.

Early in the morning, there were already many people training hard, some were working in pairs, fists and feet, shirtless men, walking upside down, and well-dressed women, beating wooden stakes.

The young Wu Luo smiled and said hello to those acquaintances, and then took the five princes around casually.

Seeing these energetic young people, the five princes already had ideas in their hearts.

Now Xue Jian owes himself a favor, if he promises another benefit and completely recruits him into his camp, this group of students from the fitness martial arts hall will definitely become a powerful force of his own in the future.

Just thinking of this, there was a greeting from downstairs with the "head of the head of the sect".

The fifth prince turned around and walked downstairs, and saw Xue Jian coming in with a big bag of steamed buns in his hand.

Xue saw that he was a little surprised when he saw the five princes, but he didn't say anything, just distributed breakfast to those students, and went to the Guxiang Building next to him with the five princes.

In an Accord on the second floor, the five princes get straight to the point.

"You promised me before that you want to avenge your family, but is this serious?"

Xue Jian immediately guessed his intention and nodded.

The fifth prince smiled slightly and continued.

"Okay, I'll take revenge for you, but you'll have to go with me to the Imperial City. ”

Xue Jian thought for a while and said.

"Can the Fifth Prince give me some time, a month at most, I want to watch the new fitness martial arts hall be built before leaving. ”

The fifth prince immediately burst out laughing and agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, in addition, I can also give you a sum of money to help you build a new martial arts hall. ”

"Then thank you to the five princes. ”

Xue Jian got up and thanked him.

What the fifth prince thinks in his heart, he knows it clearly, and he subsidizes the martial arts hall, which actually values these martial arts hall students.

But none of this matters, he will never let these students work for others, but the money given away for nothing will not be taken for nothing.

Then, the fifth prince went to visit Jing Yuanhai, borrowed a large amount of money from him, and sent it to Xue Jian.

Xue saw that he had eaten half of the money, and the other side was invested in the martial arts hall students.

After all, most of them are ordinary people and need to make ends meet.

Fortunately, Chu Donghe and his brothers and sisters are extremely efficient, and they quickly contacted a group of shops these days to discuss cooperation and establish a commercial pedestrian street.

The market in Nanfu City has been reformed so drastically, which has not only brought unlimited business opportunities, but also requires a lot of labor.

Xue Jian spread the news of the recruitment to the martial arts hall, and those poor disciples were naturally happy to go.

This not only promoted the reform and development of Nanfu City, but also allowed all poor families to earn money and eat enough.

This is called the first rich to drive the latter to become rich, and finally to achieve common prosperity, so that everyone can have enough to eat, can cultivate martial arts, strengthen the body, and turn Nanfu City into a prosperous trade port city. ”

On the construction site of the new martial arts hall, Xue Jian told Chu Shan about his concept and goals.

After hearing this, Chu Shan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and at the same time he threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that this young man admired.

He himself comes from a small family, and now that the family has declined, he has been working hard in the Chu family for many years, and what he wants is nothing more than that his family can prosper again.

But it is also a son-in-law, and it is also the decline of the family, Xue Jian's ideal is so grand, and it has only taken more than a month to do so.

In comparison, Xue Jian's vision and pattern are too big.

Chu Shan's expression suddenly became solemn and said.

"I would like to contribute my life to your philosophy and goals. ”

Xue Jian smiled and shook his head.

"Not mine, but ours and theirs. ”

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In this month, Nanfu City has undergone earth-shaking changes, and in the outskirts of the eastern city, a martial arts hall covering an extremely wide area and enough to accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators has risen from the ground.

On the street next door to Shangwu Street in Nancheng District, a new commercial pedestrian street integrating eating, drinking and playing has also begun to take shape, with a large number of shops settled in, and the crowds are full of people day and night, and it is very lively.

After participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new fitness martial arts hall, Xue Jian took Chu Yiyi and left Nanfu City.

The City Lord's Mansion sent a team of city guards to escort the five princes all the way to the nearest Xiafei City, where they could take a flying beast ship and go directly to the imperial city of the Dayu Dynasty.

Ten miles out of the city, Jing Yuanhai, Chu Donghe and his wife sent ten miles all the way.

On the occasion of parting, it is natural to avoid inseparable tears.

Xue Jian's mother-in-law was holding her daughter at the moment, wiping her tears while talking about the woman's family.

"Yiyi, when you leave home, you must listen to your husband's words more, go out less if you have nothing to do, teach your husband and children at home, and next time you come back, you must let your mother hold her grandson." ”

Chu Yiyi's delicate face turned red in an instant.

She had already understood the matter of the white pap last time, and wanted to say in her heart that she hadn't seen the round room with Xue, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it.

Chu Donghe was on the side, and also told Xue Jian a few words, and the relationship between the father and son-in-law was harmonious, like father and son.

After a long time of separation, in the end, Xue Jian and Chu Yiyi were still under their gaze, and gradually drifted away and left.
