Two hundred and seventy, a bunch of lies
So the news of a gold for stone spread in Luoyang City, as more and more people exchanged stones for gold, Li Batian was respected by the people of Luoyang City as the God of Wealth, and Li Batian, looking at the space ring of all kinds of dragon crystals more and more, also smiled, but unfortunately, there are too many stones, and the gold is about to run out.
What can I do about this, looking at the piles of dragon crystals in front of him, the price is also the price of Chinese cabbage, but he can't even afford this price, Li Batian is a little worried.
At this time, Yang Tianyi finished handling the housework, so he and the national teacher came to him and asked him if he wanted to return to the Dragon Continent.
"Old Man Li, we want to go back to the Dragon Continent now, do you want to go back now?" Yang Tianyi came to the palace and asked when he saw Li Batian.
"Don't go back, don't go back, Long Yu, do you have any money on you? Borrow some gold to use! Li Batian, who was worried about having no money, saw Yang Tianyi, whom he was familiar with.
Hearing Li Batian's inquiry, Yang Tianyi took out the money of his space ring, and looking at the little money, Li Batian was immediately disappointed.
So he took the opportunity of Yang Tianyi's return to the Dragon Continent and asked him to come over and bring a message to Li Jie, in fact, the point was that Li Hong prepared more gold and asked the old Taoist priest to help send it down, so there was the scene that Li Jie saw before.
At the same time, under the guarantee of Yang Tianyi, he fought with Fu Zhi and continued the great business of exchanging gold for stone.
With the spread of merchants, this matter spread like wings, and it spread quickly throughout the Han Empire.
People from all over the empire picked up those beautiful stones at home and walked towards Luoyang with beautiful thoughts.
After listening to Yang Tianyi finish what Li Batian had done in the Barbarian Continent in the past two days, Li Jie suddenly smiled bitterly. But something suddenly occurred to him. So much gold poured into the Han Empire. It will definitely have a certain impact on finance, so he hurriedly took out the communication crystal and sent a message to Fu Zhi, asking him to pay attention to this aspect of the matter.
After a while, Li Jie received a message from Frustrated Professor.
Your Majesty, this matter has been dealt with, and after discussing with the old man, Weichen decided that the government would come forward to help him buy the stones he needed in various places. The gold brought by the old man will be returned at twice the amount of the expenditure of the state treasury. The specific matters are being discussed with the old man.
Seeing this news, Li Jie immediately felt relieved.
Time passed quietly as the eyes closed and opened, and the next day came, and the territory competition was about to begin.
The weather was very good on this day, the sun climbed into the air early, swaying the morning glow on his body, Li Jie got up and finished freshening up, finished breakfast unhurriedly, and then waved a fan and walked leisurely towards the outside of the city.
Li Jie came to the open space specially prepared outside the city. I saw that the other six family heads were already waiting there early, and His Majesty Long Aotian, the emperor of the Dragon Empire, also came. At the same time, there was an old man in a white robe beside him who Li Jie had never seen.
On the other side, the Imperial Forest Army and the Hundred Sparrow Legion had also arrived early under the leadership of Guan Hai and Yang Tianyi, and the old Taoist priest was also closing his eyes and raising his spirits.
"Li Gongzi is really early, the sun is all drying his buttocks, so he came over!" After seeing Li Jie coming, Long Aotian said with a sneer.
"Ouch, it turns out that the eldest son of the Long family, you are not busy with government affairs in the imperial capital, how can you have time to come to my Bird Mansion!" Hearing Long Aotian's words, Li Jie also replied with a smile unceremoniously.
"Hehe, isn't this the first time your Excellency has participated in the Territory Competition, I'm worried that Your Excellency doesn't know something, isn't this a special way to come over to see if you can help? Lest Your Excellency do anything funny, it will not be a disgrace to the Holy King's face! Hearing Li Jie's words, Long Aotian continued, which means that he is actually sarcastic Li Jie, you are a barbarian from an uncivilized place.
"Hehe, there is no need to worry about this point, the territory challenge is a matter that can be solved in one day, and it is hard for the eldest prince to run! It's really a matter of not going to let this son go, if this delays the national affairs of the eldest son of Long, how is this called this son? ”
"Li Gongzi, I'm afraid you misunderstood, the territory challenge is divided into the lord challenge and the military array challenge, how can it end in one day, not to mention that this year, the Bird Mansion has received a total of 54 challenges, I'm afraid it can't be completed in one day or two days!" Hearing Li Jie's words, Long Aotian couldn't help but explain.
"Besides, I haven't been to the Bird Mansion for so long, and I want to see how the Hundred Sparrow Legion is doing, after all, it is still an army of the Empire!"
"Hehe, Master Long, you may have misunderstood, I mean today's challenge will not take more than a day, you have a lot of nobles, so you don't need to come over. After dealing with these stinky rats here, this son will go back to the imperial capital to deal with the fleas over there! ”
Hearing Li Jie's blatant contemptuous words, the six family heads present suddenly changed their colors and their faces were full of anger. And when Long Aotian heard his words, his face also changed.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Li Gongzi said that he laughed, I saw that it was not too early to see the sky, so I started to challenge, I don't know what Li Gongzi thinks?" ”
"Indeed, the time is not early, then let's start, start early, end early, this son has been out for a few days, and he still misses the imperial capital!"
"Hehe, then ask Li Gongzi to come over and draw lots! After the lottery, I will explain the rules of the competition. Hearing Li Jie's words, Long Aotian regained his composure and said indifferently.
At that moment, a servant came up with a plate.
"There's no need to draw lots, it's too troublesome for one family to come, let them go together, so as not to delay the time of my son!"
"Gongzi Li, I'm afraid this is unreasonable, right?" Hearing Li Jie's words, Long Aotian was secretly happy in his heart, he was also going to make some tricks on the regulations after the lottery, so that Li Jie could challenge him uninterruptedly, who knew that Li Jie would send it to the door himself, but he still pretended to be very embarrassed on the surface and said.
"What's wrong with this, didn't this son participate in the challenge? Or did Motoko break the rules of the challenge? Seeing Long Aotian acting very embarrassed, Li Jie pretended to be a little angry and asked.
"Since Li Gongzi volunteered to do so, I don't have much to say, I will ask Elder Bai of the Divine Temple first, he is the Elder of the Divine Temple sent by the Divine Temple in this Hundred Bird County Territory Competition!" Hearing Li Jie's words, Long Aotian followed his words and said, while pointing to the white-robed old man beside him.
"Elder Bai, I don't know what your attitude is towards the request of the Bird Mansion."
"Hehe, this is the young son of the Li family, Bai Feng, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Lower God Temple, has seen Li Gongzi, and was ordered to come to investigate a matter, and by the way, he also acted as a supervisor on the side of Baique County." Hearing Long Aotian's inquiry, the old man in white stood up and saluted and said.
"It turned out to be the Lord of the White Wind Palace, disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know what your temple wants to investigate?" Hearing the self-introduction of the old man in white, Li Jie also asked with a fist salute.
"That's right, the last time Your Excellency fought against the Demon Suppression General Huang Feng, may I ask Your Excellency, where did you learn that resurrection technique? Bai Feng, who had a personal purpose, didn't ask Li Jie's temple the question at all, but asked him about the origin of the resurrection technique.
Hearing his words, Li Jie smiled, took out his bow and said, "The White Hall Lord originally asked about this matter, in fact, I don't know any resurrection techniques at all, it was just this bow and arrow that I brought myself, I just inspired it!" ”
Protoss Artifact? Hearing Li Jie's words, a thought flashed through Bai Feng's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "May I ask Your Excellency, how did you get this bow?" ”
And Long Aotian on the side heard Li Jie's words, his eyes showed a deep greed, this kid of the Li family actually has an artifact in his hand, and when the plan is implemented, he must grab this bow.
"Hehe, White Hall Lord, I'm afraid this is not the scope of your temple's investigation, right?" Hearing Bai Feng's inquiry, Li Jie said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, this is indeed not the scope of our temple investigation, but the old man feels that this bow is similar to the weapon of an old friend of the old man, and he hasn't seen him for many years, so he can't help but ask, if your Excellency wants to say it, just say it, if you don't want to say it, forget it!" Hearing Li Jie's inquiry, Bai Feng directly made up a reason and said.
"So that's the case, then I'll tell the White Hall Lord, this bow was actually given to me by a master who taught me combat skills!"
"Li Gongzi, dare to ask your master what the others look like?" After hearing Li Jie's words, Bai Feng's heart suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, my master, Bai Mei, always likes to wear white clothes, there seems to be a winged person embroidered on it, I asked him before, what kind of person is that, he said it is a winged man who has disappeared for a long time." Hearing Bai Feng's inquiry, Li Jie said openly.
"Oh, he's really my friend, may I ask Mr. Li, where is the other person now?" Bai Feng was even more excited when he heard Li Jie say this, and at the same time affirmed that Li Jie's master was definitely a member of the Protoss, but unfortunately he didn't expect that Li Jie was making it up from beginning to end.
"My master said that he was going to the Glorious Continent, and said that there were some of his friends over there, anyway, he left without explaining clearly, and I don't know where the person is now!"
"Oh, well, thank you for telling me. If you are friends with your master, then you are also a junior of the old man, this is the old man's token, if you are free, you can come to the temple to sit! Hearing Li Jie's answer, Bai Feng only felt a little disappointed, took out a token and handed it to Li Jie and said.
"Then thank you to the White Hall Master!" Hearing Bai Feng's words, Li Jie was overjoyed, he had long wanted to go to see the strength of the temple, but there was no excuse to go, and now he had a few casual words, and he had the opportunity to send it to the door, and his mood was suddenly refreshed.
At this time, Long Aotian found that the situation was wrong, and he hurriedly spoke: "Elder Bai, I don't know what your opinion is on the request of the Bird Mansion just now?" (To be continued......)
