Chapter 20: Cultivating Good Relationships

"Ah, by the way, this one sells you. www.biquge.info"Yun Qi put the unicorn ornament given to him by Jinghong on Tuoba Zixiong's wide desk, "This is carved from the mutton fat white jade fished from the jade river under the Kunlun Mountain, although the aura is thin, but because of the long-term nourishment of the immortal qi, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away ghosts." As long as you have it, you will no longer have to worry about the death of someone you are related to. ”

Hearing the words "Kunlun Mountain", Tuoba Zixiong's eyes suddenly brightened a little, but fortunately, he still remembered that the person in front of him was talking about "selling", not "sending". He asked Yun Qi in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

Yun Qi replied very simply, "One hundred lower grade spirit stones." ”

Tuoba Zixiong was a little surprised-the lower grade spirit stone can only be regarded as the most basic material for immortal cultivators, and with the cultivation of the person in front of him, the lower grade spirit stone should be useless to him.

But even so, the price of a hundred lower-grade spirit stones was not cheap for him.

He was stunned for a moment before he said, "That...... There are not so many spirit stones underneath. ”

At this moment, he was stunned and turned into Yun Qi, he never thought that Tuoba Zixiong, as the lord of a state, would not even have a hundred lower-grade spirit stones. He blinked, and asked in embarrassment, "Do you have a replacement?" ”

"There is enough gold for the next one." Tuoba Zixiong's embarrassed earlobes were red, if it wasn't for the fact that there was really no way, how could he think of using the currency used by ordinary people to trade with immortal cultivators.

Yun Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's gold." ”

- It didn't matter to him whether it was gold or spirit stones, anyway, the money would not be long before it would return to the Tuoba family.

Tuoba Zixiong neatly stacked the hundred gold ingots he had taken out of the storage bag and placed them in the corner of his desk, "This is one thousand taels of gold." ”

With a move from Yun Qi's hand, the gold automatically flew into the storage bag he was carrying. He got up and left with a light smile, "Lord Tuoba, there will be a period later." ”

Tuoba Zixiong walked out of the inside of the desk quickly, and then bowed deeply to Yun Qi, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me." ”

Yun Qi stopped and turned around, and said to Tuoba Zixiong meaningfully: "If you want to thank you, thank yourself for your own strong luck."

Tuoba Zixiong raised his eyes suspiciously, but saw that the man had long since disappeared.

He looked at the place where Yun Qi was last standing for a moment, and then walked to the unicorn ornament to take a closer look.

Three days later, Yu Ling finally found a useful clue. After the three of them investigated separately, they soon found the real culprit who assassinated Tuoba Zixiong.

This person's name is Liu Xiyuan, and he is one of the famous wealthy merchants in this Hanji City, and the reason why he assassinated Tuoba Zixiong is to seek to seize his lordship.

After some interrogation, Yun Qi and the three learned that this person was actually the bloodline of the Tuoba clan, and he was also the cousin of Tuoba Zixiong. The reason why the surname is Liu is because the eldest son of the former head of the Tuoba family, that is, Tuoba Zixiong's uncle, did not take his illegitimate son back to the lord's mansion until he died, so Liu Xiyuan took his mother's surname.

More than 20 years ago, Tuoba Zixiong's uncle was young and romantic, although he was not married, but he raised several singers outside, and Liu Xiyuan was the blood of him and a certain singer. When he was born, Tuoba Zixiong's uncle was preparing to marry a wife, so naturally he would not bring back the illegitimate son before his wife entered the door. And in order to avoid leaking the news, Liu Xiyuan and his biological mother were soon sent to a remote village by Tuoba Zixiong's uncle.

Originally, Liu Xiyuan's biological mother still expected that she and the child would be taken into the lord's mansion after his wife entered the door, but Tuoba Zixiong's uncle died in the house of another singer before marrying his new wife.

Tuoba Zixiong's grandparents were sad and angry, and their son's funeral had not even been held, so they sold all his singers. Although Liu Xiyuan's biological mother escaped because she was sent to the village, it was half a year later when she received the news of the death of Tuoba Zixiong's uncle, who had already become the new lord of Gongzhou.

After returning to Hanji City, because there was no proof of death, Liu Xiyuan's biological mother did not take Liu Xiyuan to the lord's mansion to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but took Liu Xiyuan and her own savings to marry a cloth merchant who had admired her for a long time.

For more than 20 years, she tried her best to finally succeed in turning the cloth merchant's family business into something for her and Liu Xiyuan, but her long-term dissatisfaction with the status quo of her life and her yearning for the power of the lord made her always can't help but instill in Liu Xiyuan the idea that "the position of the lord should have been your father and yours".

Over time, Liu Xiyuan also began to think that the lord's throne should belong to him, and even found a way to assassinate Tuoba Zixiong.

After throwing Liu Xiyuan and his confession into the study in the front yard of the Gongzhou Lord's Mansion, the three of them returned to Qinzhou, having achieved the purpose of this trip.

Just half a month after they returned to the Qinzhou Lord's Mansion, the courtship team from Gongzhou also came to Qinzhou.

Because Yu Ling had already told Murong Qinghua about what happened in Gongzhou (of course, she didn't say that Jinghong also went with her), so Murong Qinghua readily agreed to the marriage.

After the courting team left Qinzhou, the people in the lord's mansion led by Murong Qinghua began to prepare a dowry for Duanmu Zixuan.

During this period, it was difficult for Jinghong to get out of the door a few times. Under the escort and accompaniment of Yun Qi and Yu Ling, she bought a lot of expensive clothes, jewelry, and precious medicinal materials to give to Duanmu Zixuan, and the rare things such as spirit stones, pills, talismans, and magic circles that were also used as dowries were all from Jing Hong's previous collections and the loot they had robbed during their trip to and from Gongzhou.

After Jinghong's second birthday, Duanmu Zixuan married Gongzhou in the sound of everyone's blessings, but Jinghong chose to stay in the Qinzhou Lord's Mansion and live with his grandmother and uncle.

Originally, Duanmu Zixuan was strongly opposed to Jinghong's decision, and she never thought of leaving her daughter. In the end, Jinghong had no choice but to move out of Duanmu Ziling, saying that his cultivation still needed his own guidance, and Duanmu Zixuan had to make a compromise.

Before the team to send off relatives, Jing Hong avoided outsiders and gave Duanmu Zixuan two communication jade talismans, "If there is something, use this to contact me." ”

Duanmu Zixuan cherished the two jade talismans close to his body, and then said goodbye to his mother, brother and daughter in tears, and followed Tuoba Zixiong, who came to greet him, on the journey to Gongzhou.

After seeing the welcoming team leave, Jinghong comforted Murong Qinghua, who was relieved and reluctant with Duanmu Ziling, until she was coaxed to collect her tears, and the two returned to Jinghong's courtyard to continue practicing.
