Today, most of the many forces in the lower half of the country are gathered in Honghu Town.

The condensation nucleus is everywhere, Juying often appears, and the forces in the five counties of the lower half of the country have all had advance troops arrive, wait and see, the current situation is not clear, and all parties have eyes on this behind the road.

The confrontation in name is still two parties.

On the one hand, the Liu family, who was the first to discover the ore vein, the local forces, Liu Yan has entered the ancient times, and can barely deter the heroes, and on the other side, it is naturally Qingyang City, which is subordinate to Honghu Town, the new city lord sent by the county guard.

Wang Yi, who was in the semi-ancient realm, brought a thousand-person escort team, all of whom were cultivators, and it was said that he was the reserve force of the Aries army guarding the border in the county guard's mansion, proficient in combined attacks, and strictly disciplined, in the hands of Wang Yi, a fierce general who had been baptized on the battlefield, it was enough to match the ancients.

The county guard sent Wang Yi to take over Qingyang City, with the intention of suppressing the forces in the city with ghosts by thunder, but he didn't expect to happen to run into the Yunling Stone vein.

Everyone is waiting.

Fifty miles of Yun Lingshi veins will definitely give birth to Yun Lingshi King, but I don't know how much production there is.

A Liu Yan of the Liu family, a Wang Yi and a thousand-person escort team, the two can only suppress these people who live there, but they can't suppress the eyes behind them, the wind has already come out, and they don't know how much they are moved by the wind.

In the history of the excavation of Yunlingshi veins in previous dynasties, there have also been twenty miles of veins, but one and a half tons of Yunlingshi kings can be mined, in the same way, two hundred years ago, a big family in Fenglu County, the upper half of the country, spent countless costs, and captured a forty-three miles of veins, and finally only mined six hundred catties of Yunlingshi kings every year.

The fact that the family surnamed Zhang fell so quickly that they disappeared was largely due to the meager return on the empty family wealth.

This vein, as long as there are about a ton and a half signs, it is enough to set off another bloody storm.

The Liu family and Wang Yi each sent half of the miners to mine day and night, and there were more and more people in the town, and these high-ranking cultivators were undoubtedly a great impact on most of the ordinary people in the town.

In the past few days, many ordinary people in the town have dragged their families, sold their houses and property, and chose to leave.

Li De didn't go to the noodle shop in the past few days, just sat at the door of the alley, watching those relatives and friends he knew move away one after another, in addition to not wanting to deal with cultivators with trepidation, more importantly, these cultivators who bought houses and land were too generous.

With these broken houses, broken fields, and tens or hundreds of taels of silver at every turn, how much spare money can ordinary people earn in the end of a year's hard work?

With such a sum of money, saving a little money is enough for them to live and work in peace and contentment in the big city for a lifetime.

The middle-aged man sat under the hundred-year-old weeping willow and smoked dry cigarettes, silently looking at the crowd of people who came and went repeatedly, and the small alleys full of fireworks seemed to become empty all of a sudden.

A young man who had just returned from the village school shouted, "Uncle." ”

Li De let go of half of his body, squatted on the side of the bluestone, patted his side and motioned for him to sit down, and asked, "Is there still a baby going to school in the township school?"

Wang Wen, who was alone, shook his head and said: "Just a few days ago, there was an accident, and the yamen asked people to suspend the class. ”

Li De asked, "Aren't you leaving?" I heard from a few households on the edge of your house that those mountain immortal masters said that your family has good feng shui and is willing to pay three hundred taels of silver. ”

Wang Wen said with a smile: "Cumin is alone, where is not home, but the house is the last thing my father and mother left me before his death, it is a pity to sell it, even if the private school is not opened, there are always two pieces of land in my hand to support myself." ”

Li De tapped the cigarette stick in his hand to shake off the cigarette ash and shook off the ashes, and suddenly said, "Wang Wen, you have liked my family for a long time, right?"

The young man was slightly embarrassed.

Li De snorted: "When I was a child, I liked to run to my house again and again in the name of following Qi Wang, and no one could see the same with that little bit of caution." ”

Wang Wen smiled helplessly.

Li De patted him on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I don't care, but it's a pity, you also know that girl's thoughts, it's weird, and you can only blame yourself for not being so blessed." ”

Wang Wen clenched his fists with both hands, sat on the bluestone, and smiled: "I like her, it doesn't have to be that she likes me too." ”

After a pause, the young man continued: "Besides, Wang Wen He De can deserve her liking, the years to come are so long, maybe a hundred years later, I will be a handful of loess, and she is still young and beautiful is what she is now, so thinking about it, as long as she can live well, it is already my greatest happiness." ”

Li Denne was speechless.

A big hand wrapped around his neck, and the young shopkeeper who came at some point leaned over and smiled: "There are three thousand diseases in the world, and only licking a dog cannot cure it." ”

The young man angrily pulled away the young shopkeeper's hand, "You care about me!"

Qi Wang smashed his fist on his chest and said with a smile: "The town will become more and more unpeaceful, and in the future, Honghu Town will become a grand place in the cultivation world on the mountain because of this mineral vein, and there are ordinary laymen who come and go, you really don't want to leave?"

Wang Wen returned the punch and shook his head and walked deeper into the alley.

The young shopkeeper leaned against the trunk of the tree, "Uncle Li, what are you going to do?"

Li De thought for a while and stretched out his palm towards the man, who was stunned and inexplicable.

"Give money!"

Li De glared and said: "Lao Tzu has worked hard for half a lifetime, he can finally rest, and Lao Tzu will also travel around three hundred countries!"

Qi Wang scratched his head, bared his teeth, and took out a money bag full of gold, Li De opened it and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "You cultivators, you really have more money than soil. ”

Qi Wang smiled: "Let Li Liuzhi follow you." ”

Li De nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, I'll leave this noodle restaurant to you, you can toss it yourself." ”

The middle-aged man threw the money bag in his hand.

When I was a teenager, who didn't yearn for the world.

Taking advantage of the fact that people are still able to move in middle age, and their children are not worried, they simply go to these 300 countries.

That morning, Li De, who had finished cleaning up, took the stunned young man out of the city.

The young shopkeeper stood at the gate of the city and looked at each other from afar, and only slowly turned around when there was no more figure on the horizon, and just wanted to return to the noodle shop, his steps froze.

A man and a woman came from afar.

The young man in sackcloth walked ahead, followed by a beautiful woman who was silent.

The young man's two fingers twisted and flipped a pitch-black metal fragment all the time, and he slowly walked into the city, passing by the young shopkeeper, and the beautiful woman who followed behind him only glanced at the handsome shopkeeper and withdrew her gaze.

The young man in front of him suddenly stopped, frowning, and he looked back, just in time to meet the calm expression of the young shopkeeper.

No joy or sorrow.

The young man stopped, and the woman naturally did not dare to go any further, standing in place without saying a word.

The young man in Mai did not notice anything unusual and continued to move forward.

The young shopkeeper bowed his head to one side and walked slowly.

The woman inadvertently swept her eyes, but saw the young shopkeeper standing on the side of the road with his head down, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if there was a sarcastic arc.

His muttering to himself could no one hear, "Aren't you afraid of hot hands when you hold my things?"

There are few open houses in the town now, so Qiu Yu and Cheng Ran naturally came to Lao Li Noodle Restaurant, Cheng Ran unexpectedly looked at the female city lord standing behind the counter, she often travels with her father on weekdays, and listens to court affairs, for this female city lord who is full of praise for her father, Cheng Ran has seen it more than once.

Similarly, Qianxian was also very surprised that this vein actually blew all the princesses of the empire here?

The hatred snorted lightly, and the strange gaze swept up and down the female city lord, and praised: "It is not easy for a beginner thinker to have such a tenacious and condensed mind. ”

Qianxian was shocked, she was now restrained, but the man in front of her could see her details at a glance.

Such a young and powerful man in the ancient world?

The young shopkeeper walked into the house and said lightly: "Two guest officers, the accommodation is still noodles." ”

Qiu Yu glanced at him, took out two pieces of broken silver and put them in front of the table, "Two rooms, two bowls of clear noodles." ”

Qi Wang walked back to the counter around the two of them, put away the broken silver, and Qianxian followed into the back kitchen.

Cheng Ran temporarily cut off the old thoughts with Qianxian, and sat down with Qiu Yu at a wooden table by the window on the second floor, and Qiu Yu, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked, "Do you know that woman?"

This is the first time Cheng Ran has traveled all the way, and when he heard Qiu Yu take the initiative to ask, he immediately sat up straight and whispered: "Yes, her name is Qianxian, and she has been in charge of the city lord of Qingyang City here for ten years, and she has only recently resigned from her position." ”

Qiu Yu clenched his left hand into a fist to support the side of his cheek, looked at the smoke-filled jungle in the distance outside the town, and said calmly: "You don't have to be so restrained, I don't need you to be a maid, since your father insists on letting you follow me, you can stay up, and go with strangers and enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

Cheng Ran bit his lip and said, "Don't dare, Cheng Ran is at the mercy of Qiu Gongzi." ”

"Tsk,"

The young man in Mai had pity in his eyes: "I am not angry, but I still have to force a smile, is it interesting." ”

Cheng Ran's face turned slightly pale, and he hurriedly said: "Young Master Qiu, you misunderstood, I ......"

Confused, he waved his hand, twisted up a peanut on the table, and said: "You, Cheng Ran, the princess of the ancient kingdom of Sansheng, how noble your identity is, your father Cheng Mo is known as a rare virtuous monarch in the ancient country for thousands of years, the whole country is thriving, since you were born, you have experienced a peaceful and prosperous era, so you have pure pride in your heart, even if you are wronged at the moment because of your father, in fact, you don't look down on me in your heart." ”

"What about the 100 Tianjiao list, what about the deacon of Qingzong? A person who barely entered the ancients, although it is rare, but you have also dealt with this kind of person a lot, you Cheng Ran may not hate me in your heart, but I just think that your father actually let you come to commit to a stranger you never knew, which makes you feel the most miserable, so you have some resentment towards me, which is human nature. ”

The woman was speechless.

Qiu Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know why your father is so thirsty for strength, and he is so sick and exhausted, but also wants to improve the national strength? He should have told you about the Dakang Dynasty, right?"

Although the young man in Mai was laughing, his words were ruthless: "I know some of the old yellow calendar, my titular eldest brother, Cheng Mo, was still the youth of the thirteen princes, he liked to go out, before he met your mother, he knew a woman of the family, her status was noble, your father and the brother who accompanied him liked him at the same time, and then the woman did not choose him, your father returned to China gloomily, drunk and drunk, and conformed to the meaning of the lord of the previous generation of three lives, married a wife and had children, and became a vassal king."

"But fifteen years ago, he suddenly went crazy and knelt in front of your grandfather's palace for two days and two nights, and finally led a thousand cavalry troops, ran thousands of miles, and finally arrived at the Dakang Dynasty, only a wasteland remained. ”

"Back then, his brother was the last emperor of the Dakang Dynasty, and the woman he was thinking about was the Empress Dakang who held the sheep in front of the temple. ”

Cheng Ran's hands under the table were white, his lips trembled, and he stared at the tips of his embroidered shoes.

The voice of hatred was calm, and the language was pale but straight to the hearts of the people: "The emperor of a country has become the king of the dead country, and finally he was tied with a hemp rope around his neck, kneeling and advancing, a generation of stunning queens in the world, dozens of people were bullied day and night in turn, and finally he was stripped naked, and under the attention of hundreds of thousands of people, he was prostrate and dragged by others. ”

Cheng Ran's eyes became frightened when he looked at the young man in sackcloth again.

The young man in Mai smiled and said: "I can't stand it? I haven't told you yet, their daughter, who was only in the prime of her life, was played with by a group of rough generals for several days, and the Shengsheng Valley Road broke and died, and I also knew that the 100,000 people they took away were all treated as two-legged sheep in the later predicament, slaughtered and cooked to relieve the crisis of grain and grass cut-off." ”

The young man in Mai stretched out his hand to pick up the woman's sharp chin, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Now Guno is eyeing me at the border, and the other four countries are also ready to move, Cheng Mo is afraid, he is too scared, so he will put down the shelf, go all the way to the border to show favor to me, and even let his favorite palm pearl not hesitate to be a maid for me, and even say, it doesn't matter if the bed warmer maid." ”

"He Cheng Mo himself can not be afraid of death, but what about the thousands of subjects under his hands, but what about the children and concubines in front of him?"

Qiu Yu looked at the woman who was trembling all over, shook his head, and finally stopped continuing, but said softly: "Ten thousand taels of gold for a woman in the prosperous world, one liter of rice for a woman in the troubled world." ”

A young shopkeeper walked slowly upstairs from the wooden stairs, put the two bowls of clear noodles on the tray on the table, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, noodles are here." ”

Qiu Chao just whispered to the woman who couldn't stop crying, "Eat noodles." ”
