The county capital of Jingnan County is located in the central area of Jingnan County, and there are six big cities around it: Baidi, Wuling, Yaoguang, Wulin, Leiguang and Tiehe.

Among the six big cities, only the three cities of Baidi, Wuling, and Yaoguang can directly reach the county capital.

And the other cities can only be detoured.

Tiehe City has to pass through the White Emperor City and then turn around to enter the county capital, while the two cities of Leiguang and Wulin make a further detour.

Jingnan County was originally a remote county in Chu, and Lei Guang City was relatively even more remote.

After two months, Liu Xiu and his entourage finally arrived at an acropolis on the outskirts of the county government under the leadership of Steward Chen.

On the periphery of the county capital, there are four more cities, of which the Zhuge family, the Yang family, the Pang family, and the Xiang family live separately.

The Acropolis that arrived at this time belonged to the county government where the Pang family had lived for generations, and when they arrived here, they were not far from the county government.

"Brother Chen, I don't know what the strength of this Pang family is in the county government?"

Along the way, Liu Xiu and Chen Yi have become quite familiar.

Although it is hard to travel, in Liu Xiu's opinion, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and this journey can be regarded as a lot of knowledge.

Even Yun Xiang, the maid next to her, was not dissatisfied.

"Master Liu, even if the Pang family is a first-class family in the entire Chu country, it is only a branch of Jingnan County now. ”

"Not only the Pang family, but even the Zhuge family, Sister Yang, and the Xiang family. ”

"The great families are intertwined, marrying each other and competing with each other. ”

"Now this family grade system is precisely to promote the continuous improvement of the major families, so as to resist the invasion of demon beasts and other countries. ”

"Oh, it's also a big clan in the Chu State?" Liu Xiu looked slightly curious.

"Hmm. ”

"However, it is still slightly inferior to the royal families of Chu State, such as the Xiong family, the Qu family, and the Mi family. ”

Chen Yijiu is in the county government, and his knowledge is even more extraordinary than that of small family owners in remote areas.

As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups.

"Then Brother Chen knows about the Li family?"

Liu Xiu thought of his mother, Li Tianwang.

My mother has been out looking for her husband for a long time, and although my mother told the elders that the juniors should not interfere, I will inevitably worry about it.

Neither of my parents is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"If you want to talk about the Li family, that's a lot, and now the biggest master of the Li family is the Li family of the Tang royal family. ”

"And among them, there are many branches, and there are countless branches. Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said to Liu Xiu.

"What about the bloody Li family?" asked Liu Xiu casually.

"Bloody Li Family?"

"Hmm. ”

"This ...... Chen didn't know much. ”

"According to the classics, thousands of years ago, the people of the Li family who were bloody could not be provoked. ”

"How can you not provoke?" Liu Xiu was very curious.

"It is rumored that the bloody Li family was once powerful and invincible, with a profound heritage. ”

Later, it was besieged by several large families, and it fell, and the family members were scattered all over the country. ”

"Why is that?"

Some people say that they have offended the big people, and some people say that they have found some kind of artifact that makes people blush. Chen Yi's tone was uncertain.

"But now the bloody Li family has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, and only a few clansmen occasionally appear. ”

"What happened later?" Liu Xiu then asked.

"Later?"

"Then it was gone. Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

"The land of Shenzhou is so vast, how can it be affected by the affairs of one family, and every year I don't know how many families rise and how many families perish. ”

At this point, Chen Yi sighed with emotion.

"If you can't keep it, the bloody Li family is besieged and the Li family of the Tang Kingdom has taken action. Chen Yi broke the news again.

"This is the same person from the Li family......" Liu Xiu's meaning is self-evident.

Although they have the same surname, they are also separated. ”

"Big and small are the after all. ”

"Yes. Liu Xiu nodded in agreement.

The city routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.

Rural roads are too slippery, and routines are more complicated.

Where there are people, there is strife, natural selection, and survival of the fittest.

"Master Liu, since you have arrived in Pangjiacheng and are not far from the county capital, you don't need to be in such a hurry. ”

"Do you want to see the surroundings of this county mansion?"

Rushing along the way, now that he is about to arrive at the county government, Chen Yi also wants to relax, so he proposes to rest for a while in Pangjia City.

Anyway, it won't be long in waiting.

Liu Xiu looked at the people next to him, Yun Xiang's eyes were shining, and she seemed quite moved.

And Shen Kai and Xie Yao both showed indifference.

Only Wang Yanbo was the most direct and said:

"The head of the family, although it is already possible to open the valley when you reach the psychic realm, you only need to absorb spiritual power. ”

"But after a few months of traveling, my old king hasn't eaten meat for a long time. ”

"Why don't you find a place to eat?"

Wang Yanbo also knows Liu Xiu's hobbies, and the head of the family, Liu Xiu, loves food more than himself, and he will not refuse.

Hearing Wang Yanbo's words, Liu Xiu's mind moved, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then please ask Steward Chen to lead the way, and we will go to the next restaurant." ”

"By the way, deal with the demon beast materials in your hands and see if you can exchange some spirit stones. ”

Steward Chen knew that Liu Xiu had a storage ring, but he was not surprised, and when he saw Liu Xiu's agreement, he led everyone to the Pang family city.

According to Chen Yi, the four major families in the county government each have a small ore vein.

Therefore, the county government here mostly uses spirit stones as a trade, and gold and silver things are not universal things.

After the four major families mined the veins, they handed it over to the county guard's mansion, and the county guard's mansion exchanged the spirit stone ore into spirit stones according to a certain proportion to the four families.

Although there is no need to eat a kickback in the middle, there is nothing to be done, after all, the county guard has a very strict control over the spirit stone.

In particular, the method of handling raw ore in the county hall is a secret among the secrets.

There are also families who once wanted to dispose of the spirit stone ore by themselves, but most of the gains outweighed the losses.

After listening to Chen Yi's introduction, Liu Xiu thought of a news he saw in his previous life.

There was a man who bought a machine to make counterfeit money, and later spent more than 200,000 yuan to make 190,000 counterfeit money.

In the end, not only did he lose money, but he was also convicted and sentenced.

This kind of thing makes people laugh and cry, and I think it's the same in terms of spirit stones.

Pangjia City is full of people, lively and extraordinary, much more prosperous than Lei Guang City, and the streets are full of people coming and going.

Moreover, most of the cultivators in the city are cultivators.

Liu Xiu has an extraordinary appearance and outstanding temperament, and she is surrounded by several servants, especially Yunxiang, although she is still dressed as a maid, her beauty is amazing, and she frequently makes people look sideways, and she knows that she is not an ordinary person at a glance.

Pedestrians on the road consciously get out of the way, for fear that they would get into trouble.

Everyone was wandering on the street, and Liu Xiu suddenly stopped when they passed by a shop.

In front of the shop, there is a chaise longue, which is more than twice the size of a normal chaise longue.

A pot-bellied old man was lying leisurely on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, holding a teapot in his hand, and taking two sips from time to time.

You can be as comfortable as you want that way.

With Liu Xiu's memory, he naturally remembered who this person was, not to mention that this body shape was unforgettable.

Liu Xiu walked forward with a smile and said hello: "Master Pang, don't come to harm?"

The huge sea who was doing nothing only felt that this voice was a little familiar, but no one had called this the Pang family master for nearly ten years, right?

Slowly opened his eyes and saw Liu Xiu in front of him.

"Poof!"

"Ahem-cough-!"

"You...... You ......"

Liu Xiu's face hasn't changed much, but the temperament of the whole person was completely different before.

Da Dahai had calculated Liu Xiu at the beginning, so he naturally remembered Liu Xiu deeply.
