Chapter 163: The Xiao Family's Scheme
"That's what the seniors said."
Xiao Ruyu raised his hand and hugged his fist, but he didn't want to accept his favor because of these thousands of mortals, so he changed his words and said respectfully:
"It's just that before the younger generation went out, the elders in the family specially instructed that the closer the two families are, the more these trivial things must be divided cleanly, so as not to have a disagreement, and the younger generations will remember it in their hearts and dare not take advantage of the nobles."
Seeing that he was so clean and clean, Li Tongya responded to it in a measured manner, looked up a few points in his heart, and said softly:
"And what do you mean?"
"Each batch of mortals is delivered to Lixia County, and my Xiao family will subsidize it, one spirit stone for one thousand mortals."
The price given by Xiao Ruyu is kind, after all, the Qingchi Sect has a bad head, and all the families are acting according to the eyes of this upper sect, and the mortals under the rule of no one have always been given and demanded, and they have never been regarded as any important resources, and some immortal cultivators have special needs, but they will value them more, and the rest are even more disdainful.
"Then let's settle it that way."
Li Tongya answered, and saw Xiao Ruyu nodding, and said again:
"There is one more thing for the younger generations to come, Guli Road is in disrepair, it is not in the mountains and forests, wolves, tigers, monsters and beasts are rampant, as for the families on the road to cut off contacts, only after becoming a qi practitioner can they come and go in the county, it is really inconvenient."
"My Xiao family wants to rebuild the Guli Road, set up post points at the front and back of each house, and fill the vacancies by my Xiao family, so that many fetal monks and mortal merchants can also travel to and from the county...... Let all the families on the Guli Road benefit together. ”
"Oh?"
Li Tongya didn't expect the Xiao family to do such a thankless task, so he paused slightly, and said softly:
"The Xiao family is also very beneficial to my Li family to take the lead in doing this, so naturally there is no reason to disagree...... It's just that with all due respect, this thing is thankless, so why should the nobles bother? ”
Li Tongya is not a nosy person, but the two families have been friends for many years, and Xiao Yuansi and Xiao Chuting are both kind to the Li family, so they persuaded each other.
"Thank you seniors for your concern."
Xiao Ruyu has met many families along the way in Guli Dao, and each family readily agreed, and it is estimated that there are still many people who secretly sneered in their hearts, only Li Tongya said a word of comfort, shook his head slightly, and explained:
"The Xiao family's alchemy and refining veins cooperate with many families, raising thirty percent of the monks in the radiation range of the entire Lixia County, it is an important business for my Xiao family's expenses, if the source of herbs and spiritual mines is cut off, my family will naturally be uncomfortable, and my family has taken a fancy to the spiritual objects of the ancient Li Dao...... It is inconvenient to disclose the superfluous words, and please forgive the seniors. ”
When Li Tongya heard this, combined with Xiao Chuting's silent purple mansion, he was secretly shocked in his heart, had some guesses, and said in a deep voice:
"Needless to say, if it's inconvenient."
Xiao Ruyu nodded slightly, discussed the distribution location of the post station, and made many arrangements before giving his leave.
Li Xuanling sent him out of the hospital, watched him go east, and then returned to the courtyard, and saw Li Tongya pressing the tea bowl silently, followed by silence for a while, and asked:
"Father, the Xiao family has contacts with the families of Fulinyuan and Linghai County, and has been trading for many years, is this not afraid that someone will cut off the circulation of goods in the east? Who has such a great energy that can make the families dare not interact with the Xiao family? ”
Li Tongya put down the tea bowl, shook his head, and replied:
"I'm afraid the Xiao family will have to break away from the Qingchi Sect and stand on its own."
"What?!"
Li Xuanling was stunned, shocked at the moment, and said astringently:
"This ...... Qingchi Sect now has three early Purple Mansions, one in the middle of Purple Mansions, and even Chi Wei at the peak of Purple Mansions...... He... How dare they? ”
"The Xiao family is waiting for Chi Wei to sit down."
Li Tongya combed for a moment, and with seventy or eighty percent certainty in his heart, he squinted his eyes and said softly:
"Xiao Chuting has become the Purple Mansion, and he already has the qualifications to stand on the stage, didn't the Chen family also come out of the Purple Mansion Ancestor and stand on his own on the spot? It's just that only Chi Wei has the strength to kill Xiao Chuting on the spot in the purple mansion of the Qingchi Sect, and as soon as Chi Wei dies, the Xiao family will naturally break away from the Qingchi Sect and occupy this beaten and tattered Lixia County, backed by the Fulin Yuan and Wangyue Lake, and the Qingchi Sect may have to offer congratulatory gifts. ”
"Purple Mansion ......"
Li Xuanling muttered, sighed deeply, and replied:
"The various families and the three sects and the seven sects are just tools in the hands of the Purple Mansion......"
"It's just that once it breaks away from the Qingchi Sect, where are there still families in the counties who dare to leave the country to do business with the Xiao family, the Xiao family naturally wants to find a new place of origin and dumping target, so they want to go west, repair the Guli Road, and target the Mushroom Forest Plains and Mochizuki Lake families that have no big county towns and are scattered all over the place."
After Li Tongya finished speaking, the confirmation in his heart became a little more confident, and he thought to himself:
"It's just how can I, the Li family, protect ourselves and gain benefits in such a great turmoil...... The disaster leads to the east, changing the situation that the Yu family is now dominant in Mochizuki Lake. ”
————
Li Yuanjiao stood in the courtyard with a sword, and in front of him stood a girl with tied hair, a pair of apricot eyes stared straight at the sword in his hand, and the two confronted each other in the courtyard for a while.
The cork gun in the girl's hand swept one by one, took a few steps back, pressed Li Yuanjiao's wooden sword with her left hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled:
"Brother Jiao, you are so cunning."
"Hmph."
Li Yuanjiao snorted lightly, also put away his sword and retreated, and replied:
"What kind of cunning is not cunning, but Qinghong, your marksmanship is quite solid, and you can block a few moves from me."
Li Qinghong grinned, understanding that he had actually fallen behind before, so he had to be aggrieved:
"There is a swordsmanship inheritance at home, and it is naturally easy to learn, and I have invited the best gunsmith in the mountain to learn this marksmanship, but it is also thankless to learn......
"There is a swordsmanship inheritance at home that can be practiced, what kind of gun to practice at a good end, marksmanship is easy to learn and difficult to master, if no one teaches it, I am afraid it will be difficult to get started for the rest of my life."
Li Yuanjiao pursed his lips, Li Qinghong put the spear on the ground, and said in a childish voice:
"I have a headache with that swordsmanship, so my father took a lot of weapons for me to choose, people said that an inch is long and an inch is strong, so I took a gun, who knows that my father was very happy, and told me to practice hard, so I had to practice like this."
Li Yuanjiao saw that it was Li Xuanling's decision, so he had to extinguish the idea of asking her to change her swordsmanship, hung the wooden sword on the wall, and tidied up her robe.
The courtyard gate rang twice, and a respectful voice came:
"Childe, Madame calls you over!"
"Got it."
Li Yuanjiao answered, and saw an old servant standing outside the courtyard with his head bowed, who had always served in front of his mother, and said in a low voice:
"What's going on?"
"Returning to Gongzi, someone from Dongshan came to say that it was ...... Mu Jiao Man... He died of his injuries and had gone the night before. ”
Li Yuanjiao's eyes lit up, and he didn't feel anything about the death of his uncle, who had never met before, but his heart was moved, and when he saw Li Qinghong on the side, he laughed, turned his head and asked:
"How?"
Although Li Qinghong didn't know the details, she vaguely had a natural intuition or a keen sense of smell of the situation to remind her, Li Qinghong pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"No, it's a good thing anyway!"
"Hey, hey."
Li Yuanjiao walked out of the courtyard quickly, ran out excitedly, and said with a smile:
"The twenty-six tribes of nine towns in Dongshan Yue will all be owned by my family in the near future!"
