Chapter 214: Passing by
On the second day, Su Mo was already dressed and came to the town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain with a carriage.
Her carriage was full of ingredients that Yu Ran had looted, but this time she had only taken some of them.
She handed over the rest of the ingredients to Rong Shu.
She specially prepared a Qiankun bag for him, and handled it in an orderly manner, after all, the trip to the Demon Realm would take a long time.
And the people who followed on the road were ordinary people, and unlike cultivators, they had to eat, wear, live, and travel.
Even Ji Bai led a group of sword cultivators to escort them to a safe place, so as not to encounter water bandits on the way.
After walking for two hours, the sun gradually slanted westward, looking from afar, the town was like a picture scroll stained with a faint gold, Su Mo was wearing a white plain clothes, and it was also rendered with beautiful colors, and he really seemed to be a charming scenery dyed red by the glow. After coming to the town, Su Mo asked the coachman to deliver the ingredients to the Su family's shipyard to serve as a welfare for the shipyard workers.
As the weather got cooler, she simply put on a thick and simple shirt and wandered the streets alone empty-handed.
She's very low-key, especially when she's out and about.
The town of Yan is a little ancient, not as magnificent as the imperial capital of Qi, Yan Feiyan comes to the night deeply, the flowers bloom and fall silently, but although the town is small, it is as complete as a sparrow, many nobles have bought a house here, and you can see luxurious carriages coming and going everywhere, just because this place is close to the sea, it is a place where the traffic is very developed.
The surrounding scenery evoked memories of her past life, and she vaguely remembered that when she was on the run, she never returned.
After being reborn, she returned to the town for the first time, and she actually felt a sense of homesickness.
Su Momei's eyes lifted slightly, sighed faintly, and then took a lotus step, walking leisurely on the bluestone-paved road.
She quickly found a tea shop to sit for a while, and the tea shop here was not as lively as the Qi State Teahouse.
But the tea doctor in the tea shop is very good, and there is an elegant and fresh feeling in the tea shop.
She took a leisurely sip of the teacup and listened to Mr. Storyteller's latest episode.
Su Mo tasted the pastries leisurely, while looking out the window, waiting for Ji Bai.
Ji Bai has mastered the swordsmanship, so naturally he will arrive soon.
This time, in order to take him to treat the fourth brother, and in order to let the Su family accept him, she wanted to enter the Su family with him.
Thinking of those conservative Su family members, if you want to know that Lu Dao has seven contracts, I don't know what kind of expression Lu Dao will have?
Su Mo took a sip of tea, and there were a few icy pear petals floating in it.
Her eyes drooped slightly, as if she was a little amused, but also a little helpless.
Outside the window, an old woman was staggering outside, and a man saw her, hurriedly hugged the old woman, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, it's very hard to walk alone, I'll help you get the salute." ”
The old lady said, "No, my house will be there soon." ”
The man said again: "This grandma, the bandits are very strong now, you still have to be careful." ”
The old lady said gratefully: "I know that this time I came to take refuge, my family was originally fishing on the shore, the surrounding fishermen were robbed, everyone's boats were burned, everyone did not dare to go to sea, fortunately did not kill innocent people." ”
The man was surprised, "Since there is no killing, I thought there was a war outside!" ”
The old lady shook her head, "Not so fast, but be careful." ”
Su Mo frowned, it seems that the fishermen around Yan Country were the first to be embarrassed by the water bandits, I don't know what will happen to the fleet of the Su family? However, in these years, when the loose cultivators are indeed very popular, they have no scruples at sea, they can rob whoever they want, and they can even collect protection fees and tolls, and there are countless scattered cultivators hidden in the green yarn tents in other places, and the merchants who come and go have become fat sheep, and ordinary people want to enter the ranks of the scattered cultivators and bandits and don't get the opportunity, because they want powerful people.
Many people don't know the way, and those people are also divided into gangs and territories.
Nowadays, what is being done along the coast is nothing more than some vicious petty loose cultivators.
However, the Su family's big house now has a messenger bird, so the news they got has always been the most reliable news.
In this era of underdeveloped communications, the best way to communicate is to pass from person to person, but it will inevitably be spread by falsehood.
Now the information that everyone in the hidden gate has gotten is not completely accurate, let alone Bai Ding below.
Without accurate information, these people are often the ones who suffer the most.
Su Mo condensed her eyebrows, poured herself a drink, and suddenly her mind was a little heavy, since she was reborn, she only thought of herself selfishly, and only thought of flying to the heavenly realm with her sweetheart, but she forgot that if there was no merit, how could she serve the people in the fairy world? If you don't make some achievements in the human world, what face do you have to gain a foothold in the fairy world? Although she inadvertently planted willows and willows, she inadvertently turned the country of Qi into a pure land, so that the demon world would no longer be at war, but what about her homeland Yan Kingdom?
Once the soldiers come to the city, I am afraid that this beautiful and ancient town will be completely destroyed.
I vaguely remember that in her previous life, when she fled, the war raged, and the Su family was ruined at that time.
The deaths of Su Juan and Su Mo also have a lot to do with this chaos!
How did she sit idly by this time?
At this time, Su Mo's entire heart fell silent.
In the attic, Su Yuju was wearing luxurious clothes, gold and silver, and was playing leaf cards with several noble ladies.
Today she is very lucky, and she has easily won more than a thousand taels of silver, which was unimaginable before. She happily put the silver in her purse, smiled like a flower, and with a somewhat charming and feminine gesture, and now her favorite thing is to collect money.
How do you know, when she saw Su Mo on the side of her eyes, her eyes couldn't help but sink.
However, she saw Su Mo sitting outside alone, without a car, let alone an entourage, and she was dressed very shabbyly.
Sometimes how a person is doing can be seen from the clothes.
Su Yuju couldn't help but sneer on his lips, the other party really didn't have anything remarkable.
In the past, she had suffered Su Mo's loss, and she had grown wise, but she didn't expect Su Mo to become an excellent disciple of Momen's inner door, and she didn't expect that she would marry the Fifth Emperor Uncle Wen Renyi, and even started a big deal in Qi State.
She didn't know what the specific reason was, but she was a person from Momen, so of course it was easy to inquire.
And she gradually heard some inside stories - Su Mo seemed to have reconciled with Wen Renyi.
Knowing the news, Su Yuju was almost about to clap his hands, but since the second room of the Su family was separated from the big house, the news of Qi Guo also spread very slowly, and some people said that Wen Renyi did not become the prince, and his strength was not as good as before. Some people even said that Su Mo and Wen Renyi were not reconciled, but were given a break by Wen Renyi. The reason is very simple, because Su Mo used to be the enchantress of the third prince, such a remnant flower and willow, don't do it!
After all, a good woman does not marry twice, even if she remarries, she can only marry the old man as a concubine, which is called remarriage, and there must be no good family willing to marry.
Now I don't know who Su Mo is going to marry, but it seems that the other party's family doesn't agree either.
But Su Yuju is different, now that the second room of the Su family is developed, Su Yuju married a good family.
Although Mu Wuxian did not marry her, she was always blessed in her life, and she married a royal family in Yan Kingdom as a concubine.
There is a saying that "I would rather be a concubine of a high family than a wife of a poor family".
Su Yuju is now the time to be favored, her husband is in power, and many officials and wives are looking at her.
Every day, many women who befriended her invited her to come out to play cards, and when she gave gifts, she would send at least 3,000 taels of jewelry.
Just when playing the leaf card, these women will generally let her, deliberately let her win.
But seeing that Su Yuju's lips had a disdainful smile, this time it was time for her to see Su Mo's joke.
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
A bloated woman in green next to her glanced outside and smiled softly, "Jade pot, what are you looking at?" Where is the silver on the outside? In order to get closer to each other, she and Su Yuju deliberately called her girlfriend name.
"It's nothing, it's just a down-and-out relative." Su Yuju couldn't help but chuckle.
"This kind of relative can hide away from it, it's like a dog skin plaster." Someone didn't have a good temperament.
"Thirty thousand." The woman next to her put a card and was immediately touched by Su Yuju.
"I didn't expect that this world is unpredictable, those people in the Su family's big house bullied me and my father at the beginning, so that we had to divide the room and leave the Su family completely, and now they are down, I feel fortunate that they have left, otherwise I don't know how many people fight the autumn wind." Su Yuju took out a card, and suddenly said happily: "Tube, self-draw, this time I won again." ”
The women praised her for her good luck, and when she took out the silver ticket, she did not mean any pain, but even rejoiced.
Mrs. Green's husband's surname is Wang, she has been begging Su Yuju these days, and hurriedly said: "By the way, you said that Su family's big house, I remembered that someone came to my house yesterday to propose marriage, saying that I wanted my concubine to marry the fourth young master." If Su Yuju agreed, of course she would agree.
Su Yuhu chuckled, "Don't think about it, it's a sick seedling, and marrying is the life of a widow." ”
Mrs. Wang couldn't help gritting her teeth, and said unhappily: "Although I don't feel sorry for any concubines, but marrying a girl is also a business, and you still have to charge more for the dowry or something, and it is best to marry a big family, and there will definitely be a place to use it in the future." ”
Su Yuhu sneered, "Go and withdraw from your family, that family won't have much money soon." ”
Mrs. Wang said fiercely: "If you calculate it on my head, you won't let them get your way." ”
At this time, Su Yuju looked at Mrs. Li on the side again, "By the way, I heard that your husband came over with some troops this time?" ”
Mrs. Li smiled flatteringly: "He brought some elite soldiers, but he came to get money." ”
Su Yuhu said lightly: "I heard that you want to recruit a private house as a warehouse, right?" ”
Mrs. Li smiled, "You're right, there is such a thing. ”
Su Yuju looked forward to the color and said, "It's better to expropriate the old mansion of the Su family!" I don't mind killing my relatives in righteousness. ”
……
After the first autumn rains, the ground is covered with red fallen leaves, layered on top of each other.
The air is moist and cool, and it makes people feel very comfortable.
An old man was talking to a man in white, and Wen Renyi was persuading their Su family to go to Qi State.
"By the way, I don't know the name of the prince of Lu Dao?" The housekeeper hurriedly asked.
"You can call me Mr. Wen." Wen Renyi replied lightly.
The old man of the Su family shook his head and said: "Gongzi Wen, the current foundation of the Su family is in the Yan Kingdom, it used to be a century-old family, and it doesn't like to run anymore, and it has only been a few months now, the foundation is unstable in the eyes of others, and it is not good to run around, although the shipyard has a good business, it is because Su Juan has a backstage in the Qi country, but there is still a lack of contacts in the local area, if you can go to the Qi country, there are too many bandits, and it is difficult to move an inch." ”
Wen Renyi stood with his hands in his hands, stood in the courtyard and said: "It's okay, my senior brother is in Kunlun Mountain, if you don't go to Qi Country, I will arrange people from Kunlun Mountain to help you and protect you." ”
The housekeeper smiled at this time, he was still very cautious, there is a way to be courteous and diligent, either treacherous or thief, knowing people and faces, but not knowing their hearts.
The housekeeper has read countless people, and he rarely looks away, but he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens.
The Su family doesn't look good on the surface these days, but in fact they have small assets.
Although the people of the Yan Kingdom are not clear, how can the people of the Qi Kingdom not be clear?
Su Mo is already the concubine of the Five Emperor Uncles, the enchantress of Jinyutang, and the boss of the money bank.
This well-dressed son came from Qi State, although the housekeeper is grateful to him for saving the Su family caravan, of course, he will not blindly believe in an outsider, these years people are unpredictable, bandits and people from various sects have also colluded, people are panicked all day long, and even at night someone robbed the rich families in several towns of Yan Kingdom, making people panic, true and false, false and real, people can't tell the difference.
Right now, all those who have some power have hired some bodyguards outside.
The Su family, of course, doesn't want to be so high-profile.
The housekeeper stroked his beard, secretly thinking that this son was so handsome, his temperament was like Lanzhi Yushu, elegant and noble, and he was a sword cultivator in Kunlun Mountain, so he should not be a big traitor.
So the housekeeper has always been very polite, saying that the Su family is very difficult, and he didn't tell the truth completely.
Next, he beckoned Wen Renyi into the hall, ready to entertain tea, and fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
"By the way, Your Excellency...... Are you just friends with Miss Five? The housekeeper poured a cup of tea and couldn't help but ask.
"Su Mo and I are very good friends." Wen Ren Yi knew what he thought, and added lightly.
"Oh, Miss Fifth is really lucky to have a friend like you." The butler said with a smile.
At this time, two communication birds flew from outside, flapping their wings, the communication birds that flew these days were the same as real birds, with feathers attached to them, but I saw one fly into Wen Renyi's hand, and the other flew into the old man's hand.
Wen Renyi took the messenger bird, and did not immediately open the mechanism, nor did he rush to hear the sound inside.
He was afraid that he couldn't help the thoughts in his heart and his emotions were exposed.
Seeing this, the old man understood that Wen Renyi was indeed Miss Su Wu, who had a good relationship, otherwise he would not have a communication bird, and it was indeed his own person.
The old man suddenly relaxed and smiled with relief, "Master Wen, since we are our own people, we don't talk to each other as a family, in fact, our Su family has also encountered some troubles, and the business cannot be expanded to Yan Kingdom, fortunately, our Su family knows how to do tricks, and there is this kind of contact method, otherwise in this time of rampant banditry, it will be even more difficult to move an inch, no, the fifth lady sent us a summons again." ”
Hearing this, he said, "The old man listens to something, it's still important to get down to business." ”
Then, the old man patted the bird's head, but it was not Su Mo's voice that came from inside, but Su Juan's voice.
The housekeeper hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be the second young master's communication bird." ”
A man's voice came from the messenger bird: "Steward Su, now there is chaos in the sea area of Qi country, everyone pay attention to some safety at sea, but fortunately, Mr. Shi Ying is here, the wall of that sea area is very strong, not only can prevent foreign beasts, but also can ensure the stability of Qi country, the people are now living and working in peace and contentment, Qi country has become a happy land, since the opening of the Qi country wharf, gradually many people have fled here, and the land price has begun to soar, so it is still very good to do business in Qi country, and even some loose cultivation is also in and out of Qi country, But don't dare to act rashly. ”
The butler couldn't help but fold his hands, Amitabha, this is really good.
After all, the Su family's business has just improved, and it must not be defeated at such a time.
The messenger bird continued: "Also, Old Steward Su, now there are problems in the money houses everywhere, and there is nowhere to exchange the silver tickets, but my sister's money village is very stable, and now the head office is located in the Qi country, and there are all the major masters sent by the Demon Realm to guard it, so the loose cultivators don't dare to come in easily and do whatever they want, so in the future, they will do business and exchange through Su Mo's money bank, and there is no need to run around with real money, so as not to have an endless mind." ”
"Very good, very good." The butler nodded repeatedly.
Wen Renyi sat there quietly, his slender legs folded.
His eyes narrowed, and he looked at it for a moment, it seemed that everything in the Su family's business had been carried out very well.
That woman really didn't have to worry about him too much, but Wen Renyi had a faint sense of loss in his heart.
Although Su Mo told him that he had settled well in the Demon Realm, and she had also become the Holy Maiden of the Demon Realm, and even became the Demon Queen of Hua Xirong, and frankly told him what had happened in the Demon Realm, but there was always a feeling of trepidation in his heart.
Seven contracts, like seven thunderbolts buried in the bottom of the heart, one will explode at any time.
Although he is calm on the surface, he is still lingering in his heart.
Especially recently, he is even more restless.
At night, I had to recite the pure heart back and forth, still tossing and turning.
Compared to Yu Ran, he is really not a broad-minded man.
Wen Renyi took a sip of tea and suppressed his mood.
Putting away the messenger bird, the housekeeper of the Su family added some tea to Wen Renyi, and said lightly: "The guest came from the Qi country, probably I don't know what the situation in the Yan country is, right?" ”
Wen Renyi was only concerned about Mrs. Fang's illness and the civil strife in Qi State, so he really didn't know what happened in Yan Kingdom.
He shook his head, "I really don't know. ”
The housekeeper said: "Gongzi Wen, the place near the sea in Yanguo is now in chaos, and then the yamen in various places also began to be chaotic, forming gangs, officials and bandits are all relatives, the world says that the demons are out, the world is chaotic, and the demons don't know which way is it?" But now there is no place that is not chaotic, the people of the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom fight but they kill without seeing blood, and the bandits are swords, today you rob me, tomorrow I rob yours, if the bandits on the sea see someone who is not pleasing to the eye, they will kill it directly, and now there are always a few families missing in a few days, life and death are unknown, and everyone tries to close the door. ”
Wen Renyi said lightly: "It seems that only Qi Guo is good." ”
The housekeeper nodded, "Yes, Qi Guo is fortunate to have the Fifth Emperor Uncle, and our Su family has a good life." ”
Wen Renyi couldn't help but say: "No, thanks to Su Mo, we can make the Qi country as stable as Mount Tai." ”
However, Shi Ying also made great contributions.
Hearing this, the housekeeper thought of his fifth lady, of course his expression was a little proud, his waist was much straighter, and he smiled: "Yes, because my young lady has some great skills." ”
While talking, a young man's voice came from the door, "Butler, are you back?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly looked back and said, "Brother Mo, why did you come out?" It's windy outside. ”
The boy coughed a few times, "I'm always stuffy in the house, and I'm not in a good mood." ”
The housekeeper said, "Brother Mo, hurry up and drink the medicine!" ”
The young man frowned, "The medicine is too bitter, I don't want to drink it, by the way, who is this son?" ”
At this time, Wen Renyi looked at the young man, and couldn't help but be stunned at a glance, but he didn't expect that there was a person in this world who looked like Su Mo, his facial features were somewhat similar, but his complexion was too pale, his wrist was as slender as a woman, the bones of his wrist were very obvious, and the cyan blood vessels could also be seen.
The wheelchair was designed by Su Mo at first glance, and it could move forward, backward, left and right with one hand.
Wen Renyi bowed slightly to the young man, "I'm Su Mo's friend, it's windy outside, I'll push you back!" ”
The young man said with interest: "Wait, you are wearing a sword, you must be a sword cultivator." ”
"Not bad." Hearing the sound of people's heads.
"I also like to learn swords, but unfortunately my body is not good." The boy said with some frustration.
"It's okay, I have a senior brother who is good at medicine, and he will come over to help." Wen Renyi said.
"Let's hope we can recover." The boy didn't show much excitement and looked numb.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
The housekeeper shook his head, "Young Master Wen will sit down for a while, and those who collect taxes will come once a day." ”
I didn't know how to open the door, and a green figure rushed in, it was a woman with a pearl head.
She threw a beautiful box on the table, and out of it rolled some beautiful jewelry, gold and silver, and title deeds.
And she was looking at the young man and the housekeeper of the Su family with disdain, "These are all sent by the Su family, take them back." ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Isn't this Mrs. Wang?" It's a rare visit for you, what's going on? ”
Mrs. Wang snorted expressionlessly, and said arrogantly: "This is a gift from your Su family yesterday, and you actually regarded these as a dowry, as the so-called merit is not punished, our Wang family will not want it at all, and my little daughter will never agree to marry a sick man, you still have to die of that heart!" ”
Brother Mo glanced at the gift and couldn't help but say, "Housekeeper, who is going to ask for my marriage?" ”
The housekeeper sighed, "It's the eldest lady, she thinks that you are strange and pitiful, and wants to find someone to accompany you, how do you know that the gift that Lu Dao gave yesterday was thrown over today." ”
When Brother Mo heard this, he secretly thought that the eldest sister was really nosy, he couldn't help but turn pale, and said coldly: "Mrs. Wang, I have never taken a fancy to your young lady, it's just a misunderstanding." ”
Mrs. Wang sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't like my girl, it's just a sick seedling, no matter which girl marries you, you have to stay alive and widowed, in short, I said, you still have some self-knowledge, don't want to eat swan meat in the future, don't say much, I will stop here, and leave first." ”
As the words fell, she twisted around and walked away, without looking back.
Brother Mo suddenly trembled with anger, in this world, even a wicked woman bullied him.
The butler stomped his foot, "What a dog's eye looks down on people." ”
"Housekeeper, don't let the eldest sister take care of my affairs in the future, let her take care of herself." Brother Mo bit his lip and coughed a few more times, his eyes were red.
"She is the eldest lady of the Su family, of course it is for your own good, don't be angry." The housekeeper comforted Brother Mo.
At this time, Wen Renyi said lightly: "It's a good thing that this kind of woman is gone, if she marries, it's not beautiful." ”
When Brother Mo heard this, he immediately nodded, "What Childe said is good, this kind of family's daughter is definitely not a good thing." ”
Wen Renyi said again: "Why is the eldest husband without a wife, Brother Mo don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
Brother Mo smiled, "This son is really good at comforting people, in fact, I have nothing to do." ”
Wen Renyi sighed, "That's it, I'll go to Kunlun Mountain to see if my senior brother is not there, you two wait a minute." ”
Brother Mo nodded, "Okay, I'll wait." ”
Hearing that Ren Yi pinched the trick with his fingertips, the sword had been vacated, and this was the first time he had performed the sword technique.
He jumped onto the sword, his body steady, and no one would believe that he was actually performing the sword technique for the first time.
Wen Renyi rose into the air and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.
Su Mo was in the teahouse, and she didn't see the man in white in the air, at this time she saw a man in black standing opposite not far away, and quickly stood up and ran out, and said with a smile: "Ziyu, you came over so soon?" ”
