Peng Yan took out five pieces of jade with sparkling brilliance from the pure white linen clothes, and said:

"As an apology, I borrowed a sum of money from the engineer and the lieutenant's family as compensation. I only hope that Miss Zhao can persuade Miss Zheng to accept Xiang'er and Yue'er as stand-ins. ”

Zhao Qing guessed that most of these five jade coins were jade coins worth more than gold, and they should be Xuanyu worth 100 gold.

She took it in the air with the Crane Control Skill, and five Xuanyu came to her hand. Five hundred gold is estimated to be nearly 100 million in exchange for the currency of the previous life. I have to say that the texture of jade is reassuring.

However, there is no need to do this matter of persuasion, after all, he didn't promise Peng Yan anything.

Seeing Zheng Dan, Zhao Qing didn't accept his "sincerity", Peng Yan's face changed, and he looked at Duanmu Shuliang on the side, but saw him squinting slightly and showing no expression on his face, and couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Miss Zheng, the blood-red sword qi you slashed out yesterday carries the heat of incinerating the Quartet, and you should be practicing the fire system exercises, right?"

Zheng Dan nodded, this kind of thing is clear at first sight, there is nothing to hide.

"The ancestors of our Peng family are a branch of the Zhurong clan, which has a long heritage, and comes from the surname of Zhurong's eight surnames, and his attainments in the fire system are extraordinary."

Peng Yan continued: "Miss Zheng is so young, she has such cultivation, and the inheritance is obviously above my Peng family. However, although the Peng family's exercises are not very useful to you, some treasure herbs and medicines should still have some benefits.

"Right now, I have a few treasures in my house that can improve my spiritual progress. For the sake of the safety of Miss Zheng's daughter, I decided to dedicate it, hoping that a few people would accept it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he beckoned, and several servants who were waiting on the side agreed and walked quickly to the back of the hall.

Zhao Qing was not surprised that the distant ancestor of the Peng family was involved in the legendary Zhurong clan.

As the so-called descendants of Yan and Huang, there are people with names and surnames in the world, and the source of their bloodlines can be traced back to those famous ancient powers.

She looked at Ji Menglin, who had collapsed under pressure and was crying in Zheng Dan's arms, but she didn't look at her daughter when she saw Peng Yan.

So, the treasure is more valuable than the daughter, right?

Although she has long speculated about ancient values, after witnessing such a "family relationship" that is very different from modern society, there are still a little ripples in her heart.

Fortunately, in addition to people like Peng Yan, there is still a person who raised his mother Rui Xi and Zheng Dan, who took care of his sister, which made Zhao Qing feel relieved.

And a Confucian businessman like Duanmu Shuliang is also quite good in character, which is very different from treacherous people like Peng Yu and Xu Sixteen.

I have to say that although Confucianism seems backward in later generations, it can indeed be regarded as an "advanced" good idea in this era. Of course, this does not refer to Confucianism, which later deteriorated.

Confucius and his disciples knew that they could not do it, and fought for their ideals all their lives, traveling around the world, preaching the ideas of "rule by virtue" and "benevolence, righteousness, and courtesy".

Zhao Qing did not consider Confucius to be an otherworldly "sage", but he was undoubtedly an admirable sage.

……

After a while, Peng Yan took a beautiful white porcelain vase from the hand of the servant and introduced it to everyone:

"This is a bottle of Fire Trick Pill, with a total of twelve pills. Each pill is fused with dozens of medicinal materials with a wisp of fire qi, the medicinal power is mild, and it does not hurt the body. It is one of the best pills to break through the barrier of yang's meridian alternation and blood and qi circulation. ”

"This medicine not only has a beneficial effect on the cultivation of yang energy, but also has a certain effect on the transformation of energy and even the way of refining qi, which can be called a family heirloom in my family."

Duanmu Shuliang stared at the porcelain vase for a moment, and said to Peng Yan:

"Twenty-five years ago, someone auctioned 100 bottles of Shangpin Huo Jiao Dan in Wushi Gorge and sold them for hundreds of thousands of gold. Presumably, the source of those Fire Trick Pills is none other than your kindred. ”

It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there was a great master fish who slashed his great enemies with a sword and razed more than a dozen hills on the side, hence the name.

There is also another theory that this "no wading" refers to the meaning that the water in this place is too fast to wade to the other side.

For some reason, hundreds of years later, the Gorge became a place where auctions were held every six months, and it became so famous that a small town was built next to it.

After recalling for a while, Peng Yan then replied: "That year, our Peng clan encountered a big turmoil, and a young master who was favored by the elders of the clan betrayed the family and fled into the Huiji Mountains with a large number of cheats and resources. ”

"In order to make up for the losses caused by this turmoil, the clan had to sell a hundred bottles of Fire Trick Pill at a low price to maintain the power of our Peng clan."

Duanmu Shuliang showed a sudden expression, he had an impression of the young master of the Peng clan who had fled against the clan.

His name is Peng Yu, who has cultivated the last level of Huajin before the age of 30, and is said to be expected to go down to the realm of six qi, and one of the great-granddaughters of Sima Shimai, the former Yue Guoda, climbed into the in-laws, and originally had the hope of being promoted to the military commander.

After Shimai caused unrest in the army and was killed by Gou Jian, Peng Yu and his wife and children fled to the mountains for fear of being implicated.

But in fact, Gou Jian did not implicate the members related to the Shi family too much for the sake of Shi Ling's son-in-law Linggufu, but Peng Yu's actions made him lose his official position in vain and was abandoned by the family.

For this kind of elixir that can really improve his strength, Zheng Dan accepted it calmly. This is the compensation that Peng Yan deserves.

Looking at Zheng Dan, who quietly accepted the pill, Peng Yan's face showed a look of pain, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's not just a bottle of elixir, Peng is also going to present a pair of fire bronze armor that is treasured at home. Each leaf of this armor is made of thousand-year-old fire copper, which contains the qi of fire and has a strong defensive power against attacks outside the water attribute exercises. ”

"Miss Zheng, although the fire bronze armor may not fit so well, I hope you can accept it. Compared with some discomfort on the body, your own safety is more important. ”

"Only one?" Zheng Dan gave Ji Menglin a hug, separated from her, smiled at Peng Yan, and said, "There is also the kind of fire pill just now, if you have more, give Ah Qing some too." ”

is worthy of Sister Zheng Dan, this sharp words, Zhao Qing blinked.

"There is really only one piece of fire copper armor, and if you want to use the fire pill, there is still half a bottle, which I originally planned to leave for my youngest son. If Miss Zheng needs it, I will ask someone to take it too. ”

Peng Yan turned his head, a sinister color flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he ordered the servant to fetch the fire bronze armor and pills.
