Chapter 510: Take refuge

Zhao Feng browsed it, and it turned out that the dozens of saplings were poplar variants, known as poplars, and it was said that they could grow in the desert. And the black fruit is not a fruit, but a kind of root that grows in the ground, and the writer gave it the name of the earth's egg. The book also states the method of cultivation and management, which is convenient for buyers to plant.

"Tonghaiju is really a cargo to five continents, so quickly find a suitable crop, Zhao Feng is grateful!"

"Master Zhao misunderstood, these two things are not produced by my five continents."

"What, not from the Five Continents?" Zhao Feng was very surprised.

"Exactly, this is a crop from the overseas blue sea Qiongzhou."

"The Tian family's trade routes have all extended to Bihai Qiongzhou?"

"Where is it, Bihai Qiongzhou is tens of thousands of miles away, how can it be reached casually, this is what the Tian family got in the Nanze Continent, and the sect of Bihai Qiongzhou also has a warehouse there, this is what they brought."

Zhao Feng felt that this matter was very strange, the Bihai Qiongzhou was too far away from here, and it was said that the human race in the land of the five continents was now from the Bihai Qiongzhou. It has been extremely prosperous since ancient times, and it is even rumored that they also have monks in the realm of the Tao.

"In this way, then thank you to the shopkeeper Tian, I want to buy some to try the Beacon Original, I don't know what the price is?"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhao, what is the price of this thing, it is not a spirit seed in the first place, I will give you a batch for free, and next time I will take care of my brother's business."

Seeing that the shopkeeper Tian didn't plan to ask for money, Zhao Feng was not hypocritical, so he thanked him and left.

Zhao Feng came out of Qiheju and went to the human market again, and asked the barbarian brothers about the situation of gathering people, and the result was very gratifying, in just a few days, more than 300 people were gathered. Out of the city, Zhao Feng had nowhere to go for a while, so he rushed to Qiheju, and before he arrived at the door, he saw more than a dozen people blocking the door from a distance. When I got closer, I saw that there was all kinds of attire, and the servant Fengming was greeting.

stepped forward to ask, but they were all self-recommended, coachmen, servants, housekeepers, and even someone asked Zhao Feng if he wanted a maid. Zhao Feng felt funny, and only said that he would hire them on the basis of merit and let them leave a famous post to go home. After sending this group of people, Zhao Feng looked at the remaining four people, these four people were divided into three groups, two of them were young students, and the other two couldn't see the origin.

Seeing Zhao Feng turn to this side, the two students took the initiative to say hello and explained their origins, these two people are called Wu Minghe and Yue Hai, both from the Jiuyue Academy, respectively from the Imperial Academy, the Craftsman Academy, and they also came to Zhao Feng to take refuge. Zhao Feng really had an impression of these two, back then, when Zhao Feng came to the Jiuyue Academy, he was not very popular. Because of this, he is quite interested in the students among the mortals in each academy, and these two people are among the best, and they are both quite talented. Now, the two of them went to Zhao Feng's door to recommend themselves, obviously they didn't have a place to go, or they were not very satisfied with where to go. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Tiantai Kingdom, in today's Tiantai Kingdom, background is far more important than learning, and most of the students from poor people are just wasting their time, and few people can show their ambitions. However, Zhao Feng's Beacon Plain is almost a wild place, and these two people can still come to take refuge, obviously they have a bit of courage, how can Zhao Feng not accept it?

Asked the servants to welcome the two students into the house, Zhao Feng asked the other two visitors about their intentions, and one of them took out a letter, handed it to Zhao Feng and left. The remaining one, dressed in a torn jacket and covered with dust gray, looked like an old farmer who farmed, but for some reason, Zhao Feng always felt that this old man was not simple. Zhao Feng let the old man into the living room, and the old man was unceremoniously, and turned around the hall twice with his hands behind his back before he said: "Bachelor Zhao is very keen, and the old man has no malice here, just to verify one thing from the bachelor, that is, the origin of the Yuehua Soul Grass." Zhao Feng's heart suddenly relaxed, the origin of the Yuehua Soul Pulling Grass is very clear, and now, many big forces have guesses, if they hide it again, I don't know what disaster it will cause.

Zhao Feng said everything he could say, and the old man said after hearing this: "Bachelor Zhao is worthy of being a scholar, but he understands it very well, I don't know the origin of the Xue monkey, can the bachelor know?" ”

"So that my husband knows that although he often goes to the black street, he never asks about these things."

"It's also, this is the rule everywhere in the dark streets, and those who talk a lot won't live long, so it's okay, it's bothering the bachelor today." After speaking, the old man walked out of the living room, turned his head to look at the back house, and left the Qiheju directly.

Zhao Feng watched the old man's figure disappear at the end of the road, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. At this time, a sound of wind sounded, and Senior Brother Xing showed his figure and asked, "Brother, what did you do?" If I hadn't suddenly heard your voice, I wouldn't have known that such a master had come to Qiheju. ”

Zhao Feng told the ins and outs of the Moonlight Soul Grass again, and Senior Brother Xing was amazed to hear it. The two of them stood outside the door for a while, and then Senior Brother Xing said: "Okay, let's go, let's go back, the purpose of these people is this, you shouldn't have to worry about someone coming to the door to ask again, by the way, there is a person in the forest over there, who has been lying there for a long time, if you don't go to see it again, I'm afraid that you will run out of gas." ”

It turned out that Senior Brother Xing suddenly found that Zhao Feng had disappeared just now, and hurriedly came to the front yard, and suddenly felt an ethereal monk in the living room, this kind of cultivation is at least a master of the True Dan Realm. In desperation, Senior Brother Xing had to wait patiently, and in the end, this master Shi Shiran left, which made Senior Brother Xing's heart feel relieved. The master is gone, and Senior Brother Xing sensed dozens of spiritual thoughts hovering above the Qihe Residence, obviously there are other monks hiding on the side, even if he releases his breath, people refuse to leave, it seems that they are all masters. There was no way, Senior Brother Xing had no choice but to transmit a message to Zhao Feng, saying that he sensed dozens of spiritual thoughts hidden around. Of course, Zhao Feng knew the purpose of these masters, and he also understood that there was a master who came to ask openly today, and he didn't know how many hidden places were listening in the dark, and the only way to live a quiet life was to make things public, so he told the ins and outs of the soul pulling grass at the gate, and sure enough, these spiritual thoughts were gone in a blink of an eye, this time, it should be the unlucky Xue monkey.

"Senior Brother Xing, who are you talking about?"

"Go and ask for yourself, it's in the woods over there."

Zhao Feng walked into the woods and saw a sour-smelling beggar leaning under a pine tree. Zhao Feng took a closer look, this person was not very old, his face was yellow and thin, and his hands were hanging down, as if they had been broken. Hearing Zhao Feng's footsteps, this person opened his bloodshot eyes, and from these eyes, Zhao Feng saw remorse, resentment, and sorrow.

"This is a man with a story." Zhao Feng thought to himself, so he asked: "This friend, in Xia Zhao Feng, Your Excellency is here, I don't know what the so-called matter?" ”

I saw this person staring at Zhao Feng, and it took a long time before he said weakly: "My name is Mucheng." ”

"Wood City?" Zhao Feng sighed in his heart, of course Zhao Feng had heard of this name, two months ago, there was a well-known scandal in the capital, and Mucheng was the protagonist of it. Speaking of this wooden city, the experience is also legendary, he was born poor, he was smart when he was young, and later met the nobleman of fate, a hereditary earl, this old earl admired Mucheng, and later recruited him as a son-in-law. Mucheng also lived up to his cultivation, since he completed his studies, Mucheng followed the old earl to give advice and run in many ways, and the old earl was able to make great contributions repeatedly, and was later awarded Yuanxinghou by accumulating merit, that is, Mucheng was rewarded by a baron.

But fate played a joke with Mu Cheng again, the eldest son of the old earl is a complete straw bag, and he is very jealous, Mu Cheng's wife is even more dissatisfied with Mu Cheng's background, and even gives Mu Cheng. Two months ago, Mu Cheng followed Yuanxinghou out for disaster relief, and returned to Beijing early due to urgent business, as a result. In a hurry, Mu Cheng, unexpectedly, it was actually a monk, who not only seriously injured Mu Cheng, but also abolished his hand. This violates the iron rules of the spiritual world, how dare this monk stay, and directly smear oil on the soles of his feetβ€”slip away. The eldest son of the old marquis hurried over when he heard the news, and when he saw that his sister was beaten miserably, he actually had Mu Cheng beaten again, and then threw him out.

When the old marquis returned to Beijing, Mucheng had disappeared, and this ugly incident soon spread in the capital, and even the imperial court asked for it, and even issued a document to arrest the monk. It is said that in order to deal with the accountability of the imperial court, the old marquis not only imprisoned his daughter, but also hung his eldest son up and beat him all night, and then said: "You are not a hypocrite, can't you be a real villain?" Then he deposed the firstborn son as a son. However, the old marquis is indeed a hero, he released a message to invite Mucheng to go back, and said that he would marry another daughter to him, and on the other hand, he bought the snake in the city to destroy Mucheng. Mu Cheng has followed the old marquis for so many years, and both of them know each other very well, Mu Cheng cares about the old marquis's old scheming, how can the old marquis not care about Mu Cheng's clever methods?

In the past two months, Mucheng has been hiding in Tibet, if it weren't for the large number of displaced people in the capital, if he hadn't woken up by nature, he would have died in a stinky ditch. Unexpectedly, today he came to Zhao Feng's door.

"Your Excellency is that wooden city?"

"Yes, I'm the wooden city." The beggar replied.

"Your Excellency has come to my door, and you don't know what you want?"

"I'm going to say I'm here to take refuge in you, do you believe it?"

"Isn't the old marquis recruiting you back?"

"Go back, go back is a death, after all these years, I still can't see through it?"

"You still have the status of a baron, and the court will not protect you?"

"Hehe, the bachelor is still a viscount, haven't you been pulled out to top the thunder?"

"That is true, but to protect Your Excellency is to offend a marquis, do you think you are worth the price?"

"Value." Mu Cheng said with great certainty.

"Why?"

"Because you're an ambitious person, you need people like me."

"I'm ambitious, how can I see that?"

"Last night, you made a decision to wait for the prince."

"It's just a battle for a boat."

"Hehe, who believes? Fight for the boat, fight for the boat, why do you have to do it? Even if it's hands-on, why do you specifically slap your face? Isn't this what Liwei is? Mu Cheng's face showed a bit of ridicule.

"That means I'm ambitious?"

"Of course, is a slap the same as a slap in the face? Moreover, there are already rumors in Jingzhong that you are a descendant of the barbarians, do you know what impact this incident has on you? Mu Cheng said very seriously.

Zhao Feng was stunned after hearing this, he had barbarian blood, but he didn't reveal it, how could it be spread in the capital? After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Feng suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, someone deliberately spread it, this first, it may be those barbarian nobles, others don't know, don't they know yet? If there is another possibility, it is the barbarians, somehow, Zhao Feng feels that this time it seems that the barbarians are spreading rumors.

"You are a descendant of barbarians, the monarch will definitely be suspicious of you, and those sects will never help you, except for me, few people can help you, right?"

"I'm a descendant of barbarians, not a barbarian from the West, so I'll definitely help them? Also, you are not afraid of losing your ancestral reputation. ”
