The inner city of Julu is the world of cultivators. It's not much different from the last time I saw it, it's still bustling, buying or selling.

Xiao Yu and his entourage walked into the inner city, and there was already a steward waiting on the side.

Xiao Yu waved his hand to signal the steward not to be publicized, and asked the steward to press An Shengsheng, who was almost shouting, back into his stomach. There are already a lot of cultivators in Julu City this spring, but there are no masters, most of them are some harmony realms that are not very popular, and the highest is only the empty underworld realm, if it is placed in the past, it is not bad in Xiao Yu's opinion, but after seeing three thousand guests in the Dao Sect, it is inevitable that some of them have been difficult to find water.

One of the vendors on the side of the road sells Yiqi Pill, this kind of pill has a good name, but it is not an uncommon thing, it is mainly to deal with the problem of poor vitality of junior cultivators, which is beneficial and harmless, and because of the formula, its taste is sweet and sour, and in some major sects, it is also used as a child's snack for the extravagant act. Of course, these children are equivalent to the children of the worldly princely families in the cultivation world, and they are born with unique blessings, while the others are still begging to embark on the path of cultivation, and they have already entered the hall. Just like the dragon son and grandson, the honor that comes with being born is hard for most people to find in their lives. There is no greater injustice than this.

Xiao Yu, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked to the front of the stall and stood with a few loose cultivators who picked and picked up bargains, and there was nothing too brilliant, Xiao Yu picked up a small bag containing the Qi Benefiting Pill, poured one in the palm of his hand, the pill was pale white, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, sweet and sour with a hint of coolness. Xiao Yu asked for five bags and paid five hundred taels of silver.

A bag of one hundred taels, one hundred taels of feet can support a cavalryman.

Xiao Yu has never been like Emperor Zheng, who uses chain mail to eat and wear to show that he suffers with his subordinates, in his opinion, he lives in the most beautiful palace in the world, and there are more than 100,000 eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it is a little ridiculous to talk about how frugal he is. Those who are in high positions should not spend their minds on how to be thrifty, but should spend their efforts on rectifying the rule of officials. In the prosperous and peaceful season, even if the superior person is a meal of gold, the people will only praise the wealth and glory. In the troubled seasons, even if the superior eats chaff every day, the people will only denounce him for being mediocre. Therefore, Xiao Yu never treats himself badly, the food is a meal of twelve dishes, the clothes are good Shu brocade, the residence is the proprietor's palace, and the line is the car of the county king.

Xiao Yu gave four of them to Xu Lin and the others, and he took one bag himself, eating it as he walked.

Although this Qi Benefiting Pill is beneficial and harmless, it should not be eaten too much, before cultivating to enter the void and the underworld, if you eat too much, it will not unblock the vitality, but will dissipate all the vitality in the Qi Sea, which is no different from exhaustion, and can only slowly recover from pranayama.

Xiao Yu was like eating broad beans, but in a matter of moments, he ate all the bags of Qi Benefiting Pills, and then spit out a mouthful of four-colored vitality like a well-fed person burping.

Xu Lin also twisted one, and said with a smile: "His Highness's body has four strands of vitality mixed with each other, although it is invincible in wartime, but on weekdays, it is not as comfortable as ordinary cultivators who rely on vitality to cultivate their bodies, but they also have to suffer from the burden of mixed vitality. ”

Xiao Yu sighed lightly and said, "Not bad." ”

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, Xiao Yu has four qi, and no one can stop him in terms of combat power, but because of the impurity, several vitality that cannot be integrated can not only not warm the body, but because of conflicts, it will also cause some dark diseases.

Xiao Yu is deeply burdened by vitality on weekdays. Of course, there is a solution to this kind of thing, and there are two ways to solve it, one is to let them merge into one, and the other is to go to three and keep one. Xiao Yu was naturally reluctant to waste a few qi on this heavenly blessing, so he could only continue to seek the way to integrate the five qi.

The steward of Julu City leaned forward slightly to lead the way, but instead of leading Xiao Yu to the three-story building last time, he went to the City Lord's Mansion deeper in the inner city.

Xiao Yu entered the city from the south gate, and there happened to be another steward leading a group of people from the north gate.

The two teams happened to meet on the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the opposite side is a sturdy old man, tall, although his temples have been white, but he is in good spirits, and he does not see the slightest old age, and he first arched his hand and said: "I have seen King Xiping." ”

Xiao Yu was just stunned, then reacted, and also bowed back: "I've seen King Dongping." ”

The five governors of the older generation of Da Zheng, Xiao Yu finally got to see the last person, the shepherd of the northern capital.

The shepherd smiled lightly: "Brother Xiao's tiger father has no dogs, no matter whether it is strategy or martial arts, this king is not as good as him, I thought that he could always be better than his nephews, but now it seems that compared to the king of Xiping, the king's sons and nephews are too unsuccessful, and it is difficult to chase after them." ”

Xiao Yu laughed.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng, the true owner of Julu City, and a middle-aged man walked out of the mansion, Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "The two great masters are here, and they are disappointed, and they hope to atone for their sins." ”

The shepherd just shook his head and said flatly: "Old Xiao is serious. ”

Xiao Yu was much more respectful, and asked gently, "How is Xiao Lao lately?"

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly: "Everything is fine, I am worried." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, turned to look at the man beside Xiao Zheng, and said softly, "Presumably Your Excellency is King Yan Chi?"

The man who was already the regent of Houjian was mentioned before the title was mentioned, and he said with a smile: "It is the lonely king, I have heard the name of the king of Xiping County for a long time, and I can see it today, and he is really a hero out of a young man, and his name is well deserved." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Compared with the two, there are many places where this king is inferior." ”

On the other hand, the shepherd Qi and his former colleague Xu Lin exchanged salutes. Although the shepherd was named the king of Dongping County, he did not hold a big prince's shelf, and still said and laughed as usual: "Old Xu, you are going back more and more." ”

Xu Lin didn't want to shout the prince reluctantly, and said with a light smile: "Xu is still the governor of the capital, and he has the titles of Doctor Guanglu, Jiaxun Shangzhuguo, and First-Class Earl, no less, why did Brother Mu say this?"

The shepherd smiled and nodded: "That's right, although there is an additional title of county king on this head, but this actual benefit is not at all, but it has become the target of public criticism, and it is not easy to say which one will gain or which will lose." As for the power of the five major governors, don't do it, the five major governors of the year are now only Qin Zheng and Zhang Qing, but Zhang Qing doesn't have a few years to live, just wait for Qin Zheng to die in battle one day, these five major governors will really exist in name only, and things are not people. ”

At this time, Xiao Zheng had already invited a few people into the mansion, and Xiao Yu and Wan Yande walked side by side.

Wan Yande had a kind smile on his face, and chuckled: "King Gu has a son under his knees, with a single name and a Hongzi, and he is also a person of the same generation as King Xiping. It's just that my son, who can't do anything, is very conceited, and compared with King Xiping, he has lost a lot. ”

Xiao Yu chuckled and said: "The prince is serious, His Royal Highness the Prince is the dragon and phoenix among the people, but there is one less opportunity, as the so-called **, once the wind and clouds change the dragon, His Royal Highness the Prince will have an unlimited future in the future." ”

Wan Yande laughed and said, "Then borrow the auspicious words of the Northwest King." ”

The shepherd consciously or unintentionally lagged behind the people in front of him and walked side by side with Xu Lin.

The shepherd looked at Xu Lin and suddenly said softly: "Brother Xu, how are you doing under King Xiping?"

Xu Lin said flatly: "It's okay." ”

The shepherd smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not likely, right? There is blue jade inside, and Huang Hanji outside, how can it be compared to the original governor of the central capital? As long as Brother Xu is willing to come to my northern capital, if you say anything about working together, it is too fake." But Brother Xu, you are absolutely only under me, how about being a veritable No. 2 person in the Northeast?"

Xu Lin sighed lightly and said: "Xu Mou thanked Brother Mu for his kindness first, but Xu Mou started from poverty, and this bit of suffering can still be bearable, besides, Xu's foundation is all in the northwest, and it may not be better to go to the north than here." ”

"What's more, Xu doesn't want to be a three-surnamed slave who pokes everyone's backbone. ”
