"Why?"

Jiang Ning stood up puzzled.

The next night, not only did he swallow a whole piece of Earth Dragon Ginseng, but Dao Hanqing gave him two Zhuangqi Pills and also let him swallow one.

If it was original, the "bud head" was small and the meridians were severely blocked, perhaps the spiritual power made the impurities of the meridians grind away.

Now, with the assistance of an entire Earth Dragon Pill, it was far beyond the limit that his body could hold, but the huge spiritual power reached his chest and quickly disappeared.

This definitely has nothing to do with cultivation talent, but what went wrong?

"Tomorrow, please ask City Lord Ye to help diagnose it...... It may be good, but if it can be solved, the speed of one's own cultivation will be accelerated, and in this world where martial artists are respected, monks with low cultivation are the same as mortals. ”

"It's possible that it's bad and can't be solved, maybe I'll be stuck in the apprenticeship period for the rest of my life, and in that case, it's even worse than my cultivation talent. ”

Jiang Ning walked down the dirt mountain with a feeling of apprehension.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asked, looking at Dao Hanguang at the door of his house, that is, Dao Hanfeng's eldest brother.

"The old lady asked me to inform you that you will go to Daojiabao to worship your ancestors the day after tomorrow. ”

"Let me participate in your family's ancestor worship?"

"You used to be young, but now that you're older, you have to participate. ”

"Now I'm grown...... Hehe. ”

"Don't laugh, this is the old lady's order, if you don't go then, don't blame us for forcibly embarrassing you. ”

How to say it, Jiang Ning is still a member of the Dao family at the moment.

As long as Jiang Ning forcibly refused, the Dao family would have a reason to forcibly escort Jiang Ning to Daojia Fort, and Ye Chen was also not qualified to stop it, after all, it was to worship the ancestors, not to attend other activities.

But Jiang Ning really went, and as Uncle Duan said, he became the punching bag of the knife family.

Jiang Ning didn't care, and the next day, as soon as he was on duty in front, he found Ye Chen in the back.

"City Lord, my subordinates beg you to arrange for me to go outside the city tomorrow to take a look at the geography. ”

"Tell me why. ”

Jiang Ning explained the situation roughly.

After catching the red haired three, there is not only a bounty issued by the city lord's mansion. Hongmao's subordinates couldn't stand the torture and confessed one by one. According to their confessions, Licheng sent several battalions of officers and soldiers to arrest the remnants of Hongmaosan one by one, and also found two hidden nests of Hongmaosan. In addition, Licheng seized Wanhualou and several other implicated businesses.

Dao Hanqing did a very benevolent and righteous job, and took out many rewards and distributed them to the families of the casualties. But that's it, and a lot of wealth has been obtained. Dao Hanqing exchanged all of them for cultivation resources, but the rest of the Dao family also needed cultivation resources.

Dao Hanqing went out of the city the night before yesterday, and yesterday morning the people of the Dao family found out that Dao Hanqing was missing, and immediately sent someone to look for him. I'm still looking for it, but I haven't found it yet, and most of it can't be found.

The Dao family worships their ancestors, and the old lady instructed Jiang Ning not to go.

I can't go.

When worshipping ancestors, it was good to insult Jiang Ning, if they found a sufficient reason, even if Jiang Ning's leg was broken, Ye Chen would not be able to do anything about them.

It just so happened that the Licheng Geography had not yet been completed, and from time to time, City Lord Ye would let a few bookbooks go outside the city to see the relevant mountains and rivers terrain. The task entrusted by the Ye City Lord, the Dao family dares to stop it, there is no way, only in this way can he refuse to go to the Dao family to worship his ancestors.

"Ancestor worship?"

"The eldest brother exchanged the bounty for cultivation resources, and told me the night before yesterday that he took these cultivation resources to find a hidden place and prepare to break through the innate nature. ”

"It should be. "For some of the situation of the Dao family, City Lord Ye also knows a little, including the reason why Dao Hanqing has been stuck on the half-step innate Dacheng for several years.

"Dao Hanbai, do you hate it?"

"It's not hate, for the Dao family, they treat me as a relative, I treat them as a relative, they treat me as an outsider, I treat them as an outsider. ”

"In a few years, you'll be an adult. ”

"When I reach adulthood, I won't divide the property of the Dao family...... Even if you want to divide it, you can't divide it. ”

"The problem is that they treat you like an enemy. ”

"They regard me as an enemy, and I can only treat them as outsiders, and I am not qualified to regard them as enemies. ”

For Jiang Ning, City Lord Ye still likes it more, and he said: "The key is that I have been in Licheng for several years. ”

The city lord, the city lord, and the guard general are all rogue officials, and they will make some transfers every few years.

The city lord Ye appreciates Jiang Ning more, which does not mean that the next city lord will appreciate Jiang Ning, but the city geography is almost finished, and the book book can be said to be a person from the city lord's mansion, but it is a half-official and half-official, not a formal official.

Once the Ye City Lord is transferred, Jiang Ning's situation will inevitably change, and the next City Lord will continue to appreciate Jiang Ning, if he doesn't appreciate it, the Dao family will keep using his yin hand in the back, and Jiang Ning will be even more embarrassed at that time.

Even then, Jiang Ning was not afraid.

After getting the Earth Dragon Ginseng, Li Meng's cultivation speed will become faster. If Dao Hanqing becomes a battalion general, it is equivalent to having two powerful friends. Although Jiang Ning subconsciously didn't like to rely on Dao Hanqing and Li Meng...... There are other ways to do that, too. The new city lord is here, he will find a way to get a good relationship with the new city lord, it's really not good, the moon country has been unified for more than ten years, and the Taiping City incident is mostly forgotten, he can go to the south and go to his sister.

However, Jiang Ning couldn't say these thoughts, he hesitated for a moment and said, "City Bishop I." ”

"The imperial court issued an order to this official, asking Licheng to send two battalions of officers and soldiers to Huanzhou City to escort a batch of goods to Xizhou for the imperial court. ”

"Xizhou?"

To the north of Longzhou is Huanzhou, separated by seven counties from Licheng County, which is three or four thousand miles away. However, three or four thousand miles is nothing to this vast world, so there are close contacts.

Xizhou is different, it is located in the southwest of Langzhou, and it is also the westernmost state of the Moon Kingdom, and further west is the vast wasteland and desert.

Where is the situation more complicated, not only that, it is separated from Licheng County by six states, and it is more than 20,000 miles away.

"It's Xizhou, and this official wants you to serve as the secretary of the march on this trip. ”

"What is the task of reading books?"

"Dao Hanbai, you don't have to worry, the so-called marching reference book is just a record of what happened on this trip and the expenses along the way. You are the adopted son of the sword guard, and you are indeed a member of the sword family. The Dao family persecuted you, and the official was helpless. But there are two sides to everything, the good side must have a bad side, and the bad side must have a good side. The Dao family persecuted you because you were the adopted son of the Dao Guard. This trip is a bit far, but as soon as you return with the officers and men of the two battalions, this officer will give you a credit. Because you are a child of the Dao family and a child of the Bapin family, this official can use this trip to give you a formal official position. Then in the future, no matter when the official is transferred, the people of the Dao family will not dare to persecute you. ”

To put it bluntly, it was Jiang Ning who took advantage of this opportunity to gild.

"Thank you, City Lord Ye. ”

"The sword is cold and white, the official has read countless people, in terms of intelligence and wit, you are undoubtedly the best choice, why are your cultivation qualifications so poor?"

In fact, City Lord Ye didn't have to do this, the key was that Jiang Ning's cultivation was too low.

"The subordinates don't know ......" Speaking of this matter, it was just right, Jiang Ning was about to ask Ye Chen for advice: "City Lord Ye, there is something that my subordinates don't understand, can you bother City Lord Ye to check it for his subordinates." ”

"Say it. ”

"My subordinates have also been cultivating secretly all these years, but ......" Jiang Ning told him about his cultivation.

"Is there such a thing?" said City Lord Ye, putting his hand on Jiang Ning's arm, and a stream of air flowed into Jiang Ning's meridians.

After a long time, he said, "Everything is normal." ”

"Normal?" Jiang Ning was depressed.

"In this way, after this errand is completed, the official will give you a careful consideration. ”

"City Lord Xie ......" Jiang Ning has long been on the ground, it is better to rely on others than on himself, and his cultivation is to keep up, which is his foundation.

"Lord City Lord, my subordinates are still puzzled, since it is an errand in Huanzhou, why do you want to send troops from Licheng?"

"Dao Hanbai, please remember, this is a very confidential mission, and it must not be disclosed to anyone, otherwise it will be a capital crime. ”

"The subordinates remembered. ”

In addition, this line will not advance from Huanlong Avenue, but will be changed to a small road from Huanzhou to Licheng to Xizhou, so the imperial court transferred two battalions of officers and soldiers from Licheng. ”

City Lord Ye made some explanations, and also made Jiang Ning understand that this was not a simple escort. Of course, even if there is danger, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it, which has nothing to do with Jiang Ning. And not only the officers and soldiers of the two battalions, but also other people, perhaps real masters......

Jiang Ning immediately made some guesses.

But this is not the case, and it is not easy for City Lord Ye to make a big credit for himself.

"Lord Castle, when will you go? ”

"Just tomorrow morning, you go back on duty and prepare early. ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Ning immediately went home to clean up, and there was nothing else, the main thing was to dig a little deeper into the mud under the big water tank in his house, completely seal the jade box, and then put it in.

There is still some money at home, which is handed over to Aunt Li for safekeeping.

He packed a few more pieces of his clothes into a bag, and then Jiang Ning sat at home and thought, what to escort to Xizhou? After all, as far as he knew, Xizhou was half a sandy plain, very desolate, and it was also a secret escort.
