Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Match Made in Heaven

One night, the world was turned upside down.

The chain bridge was free to enter and exit, the shacks under the city walls were completely demolished in one go, and the abandoned land was divided equally among households. After witnessing from the neighbors, everyone can move back to live wherever they lived.

Within a day, all the people had moved back to their former homes, and those who had no homes were resettled in new houses, and the river city was in good order, and the good news spread throughout the town.

The Zhou family left behind a huge wealth far beyond the imagination of others, Huo Rongdong didn't know what Qi Ci said, and the next morning, there was a team of white-clothed monks who landed in a flying boat, all of them with excellent temperament.

They claimed to be the envoys of the Bai Yujing Alliance, and they were here to assist in the collection and distribution of the remnants of the Zhou family.

The Baiyujing Alliance is an alliance composed of the major sects in Baiyujing, similar to the Tianxia Gang. But ordinary people don't know.

The people originally saw that these people were still beating drums in their hearts, for fear that they would be the next Zhou Lin and enjoy the benefits of fishermen.

Who knows, these monks saw that white-haired immortal master, their attitude was cautious, with a smirk, and they couldn't even raise their heads.

"Xu Feng, the twenty-seventh generation disciple of Tianyan Sect, see the ...... of his uncle and ancestor"

"Uncle Shi is worthy of being the pride of the sword, and you have worked hard to eradicate the wicked."

"The younger generation is too one Zong Wu Ke, admire, admire ......"

The little disciples came up with a compliment, and Qi Ci was sitting on a big stone by the river to repair the waterwheel.

The waterwheel is an important tool for the people's agricultural irrigation, which was smashed by the Zhou family before. Qi Ci rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, carrying a hammer in one hand and a wooden board in the other.

He heard a group of people buzzing in his ears, and he glared back impatiently, and those little disciples of the Bai Yujing Guild Alliance were silenced one by one and retreated.

They buried their heads in the Zhou family's large and small warehouses as if they had been beaten and began to liquidate and take inventory.

Not to mention taking the people with a stitch and a thread, these disciples can't wait to finish their work and leave as soon as possible, and they don't want to face Qi Ci, the plague god.

Who doesn't know that Tianyan Sect is merciful and true monarch is moody!

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the liquidation of the property was completed in less than three hours.

"Uncle Shi, the Zhou family has cleared out a total of 203,000 taels of silver, 100,000 copper coins, seven boxes of jewelry, 10 silks, more than 300 pieces of precious porcelain, and three warehouses of ornaments."

"There are another 100,000 three-grade spirit stones, and the details of magic weapons, pills, and talismans are all ...... here."

Qi Ci raised his eyelids and glanced at it, with a nonchalance: "The cash silver is distributed to the people according to the household, and the jewelry, silk and other things are left in the city lord's mansion as public funds, and the next city lord will dispose of them on his behalf." ”

"The cultivation materials are useless to them, and they are coveted here, and all of them are converted into contributions from the Bai Yujing Alliance. After that, River City will be directly responsible for you, and I hope that scum like the Zhou family will never appear again. ”

Several white-clothed disciples bowed down in unison and bowed their heads respectfully: "-Uncle Ancestor is righteous." ”

Huo Rendong and the others didn't know what Bai Yujing's contribution was, but what they heard clearly was that Qi Ci didn't want any of the things of the Zhou family.

In the afternoon, when Fu Chunhua and his sisters drove the ox cart, and the big boxes full of money were on the cart board, and they distributed silver and copper coins door to door according to the roster, the people thought they were living in a dream.

"It has always been the officials who collect taxes and money from us, and they have never sent money down." The old man sighed as he held the money in his palm.

If the harvest is not good, the family will not be able to make up the tax money if they tighten their belts, and they will often have to smash the pot and sell iron.

The middle-aged man on the side took a hard bite and was overjoyed: "This is silver, it's silver!" I've never seen that much money in my life! ”

Fu Chunhua sat on the back of the cow and laughed: "That's naturally true, the immortal master and the fairy aunt are the masters for us, and the people of Hecheng will be able to live a good life in the future!" ”

"Immortal Gu Immortal Master is our great benefactor."

"God willing, I sent the fairy girl to save us."

"The two benefactors must be safe—"

They cried out, tears welling up in their eyes.

There are also many people kneeling on the street, spontaneously bowing and praying in the direction of the sun on the horizon.

With money and food, a new order was quickly established, and the originally desolate streets of the city were also changed.

Many closed shops have opened one after another, selling vegetables, chickens, and cooking cakes. The hawker's voice brought life to the city.

After the chain bridge was opened, there was a gradual flow of cars and horses outside the city.

Along the official road, many of the rich and noble families who had fled returned one after another, and there were also some rabble who were originally the same party of the Zhou family, and they quickly slipped away while no one was paying attention, for fear that Qi Ci would find them to settle accounts after the autumn.

The market was in ruins, and only one inconspicuous bookstore on the outskirts of the city quietly closed its doors.

This bookstore is very small, there is only one person in the store, and the eaves are hung with a sign of "Yinhai Study - River City Branch".

At this moment, the shopkeeper was sweating profusely, and he was speeding up to clean up the hidden accounts in the store.

He threw some ledgers with specific marks into a basin and set the fire on fire. In addition, there are still a bunch of items for sale left in the container, plus goods that have received orders and have not been produced...... It's bound to lose a lot of money.

It's a headache just thinking about it!

The shopkeeper muttered to himself: The original Zhou family, the head snake, also had the ancestors of the Jindan period in charge, and they started business to give some convenience and mutual benefit.

Unexpectedly, so many people in the Zhou family said that it was gone! The corpses have turned to ashes!

The man and the woman didn't know where they came from, but they were so godly. Especially the white-haired male cultivator, his strength was terrifying, and he trembled when he looked at him from afar.

The secret accounts and goods in the study, if the monk found out, he would not be able to eat and walk around!

The shopkeeper's mouth was full of bitterness, and he couldn't cry even if he wanted to.

When such a big event happened, he naturally didn't dare to hide it, and after using the urgent teleportation charm to report to the Zhai Lord, he didn't expect to get a strange answer.

"Are you sure that the monk who destroyed the Zhou family is a young man with white hair, wielding a sword, and a beautiful woman by his side."

"Master Mingjian, the villain will not be mistaken."

"So you wait there, and I'll be there."

"Yes......"

From the messenger, it was clear that the Lord's mood was a little strange. Not only did he not care about the fact that the business line of River City was broken, but he cared more about the two people who came from an unknown source.

*

The people of River City have been suffering for a long time, and most of them are in poor health, infected with diseases, and some of the serious injuries to their limbs have been infected.

In addition, those girls who were used as furnace supplements, half of their lives were still hanging on the waistband of their trousers, and they had to be healed well.

Now all the active labor is used to plant winter wheat, and there is no manpower.

Huo Rongdong had no choice but to find a few people in the city who knew a little about medicine, and set up a shed in the open space outside the city lord's mansion, so that the seriously injured and sick people could live in it, and it would be temporarily counted as a medical hall.

Qi Ci saw that she was working hard to organize people to collect and decoct medicines every day, so he got some spiritual plants and pills from the Zhou family's furniture treasury that was originally going to be handed over, and gave them all to her.

The pills are all made with herbs with spiritual energy, and are not so much a mixture of theology, Chinese medicine, and Taoism as Chinese medicine.

Huo Rendong crushed a yellow-level rejuvenation pill and scattered it with water and distributed it to five people to drink. Even so, I still underestimated the medicinal effect of nectar after a long drought.

After a bowl of medicinal soup, the waist is no longer sore, the legs are not painful, and people who have been paralyzed for half a year can immediately get up and walk twice.

Within a few days, the people with good health were able to work in the fields. Huo Rongdong was also praised as a fairy by the people in private because of her daily rescue and hard work.

One afternoon, a family member of a patient who had come to deliver food shouted outside.

"Little Huo Immortal Aunt, Cihui Immortal Master is waiting for you outside the courtyard again."

Qi Ci's face was cold, and the people didn't dare to call him by his name, so they only used the Taoist name to call him.

Huo Rongdong has no frame at all, and the people look at her as if they are their own girls. There are those called Xiao Huo Fairy Gu, and there are also those called Honeysuckle Fairy.

Huo Rongdong responded, she was helping to change the dressing of a person who had been whipped, and hurriedly came out to wipe her hands and change clothes.

Her hair was wrapped in cotton, and her whole person was neat and capable.

A patient looked at her and pursed his lips and smiled: "The relationship between the little fairy girl and the fairy master is so good, you have to come to find it every day." ”

Huo Rongdong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly distinguished: "Auntie, you misunderstood, we are not ......"

A few other women next to him were busy quipping, "Isn't it?" I see that the immortal master treats you in my heart, it is really a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. ”

"I just hope to give birth to a noble son as soon as possible."

They didn't care about the fact that there was a big girl here, and they made Huo Rongdong blush.

So when she came out of the tent of the medical hall, her face was still crimson when she saw Qi Ci.

The man lazily leaned against the willow tree of the long river, his neckline was slightly loose, and he changed into a dark blue narrow-sleeved military uniform, and the moment he saw Huo Rendong, his eyebrows moved slightly.

She must have just finished purifying, and even her eyelashes seemed to be wet. The cheeks are powdered, the lips are like red clouds, and a few untied strands of ink hair are scattered from the side of the scarf, which makes this face more and more bright and bright.

Especially when she looked over, the skin from her cheeks to the side of her neck was flushed, and her eyes were full of waves, which made the men who passed around her look straight.

It's really ice muscles and jade bones, and cutting snow is a god.

Huo Rendong still remembered the jokes of the aunts just now, and walked up to Qi Ci with a twist, refusing to look at him directly: "Son, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Ci only had her in his eyes.

He gestured to the food box in his hand, which contained a bowl of fried medicine: "You work hard for the people every day, how can you not take care of your own body." Didn't you get hurt by the attack charm at that time, and it didn't hurt so quickly? ”

He helped her take out the bowl: "Even if it is a fairy, if it is injured, it is necessary to drink medicine." ”

"How's it going, drink the medicine, fairy?"

The man's eyebrows were handsome, and there was a faint smile on his face, Huo Rendong only felt a bang in his ears, and hurriedly snatched the medicine bowl in his hand, raised his head and drank it all.

Qi Ci quipped lightly: "The fairy is bold." ”

Huo Nurish: ......

She wiped the corners of her lips with her sleeve, and suddenly remembered something: "Childe, what does the contribution of the Bai Yujing Alliance mean?" ”

Qi Ci: "If you want those behemoths to take shelter, you naturally have to pay a price." With their nominal help, whether it is to repair bridges or roads, the river city will be safe and stable from now on. ”

Glancing at her plain dress, Qi Ci said: "The Zhou family's furniture library looks a lot, but there are actually few good things. ”

He took out a wooden box from his cuff, turned his head and handed it over: "Oh, I chose it for you." ”

Huo Rendong was stunned, she took it and saw that there was a hairpin in the wooden box. White jade texture, carved into a phoenix with wings spreading, the head and tail are embellished with gold.

"Childe, this is too valuable......"

Huo Rendong subconsciously wanted to refuse, she remembered that she had lost the pearl flower sent by Qi Ci before.

Qi Ci stopped her.

"This is a Xuan-level magic weapon, which contains my divine soul breath, which can be contacted at critical moments, and can also be used as a protective barrier, so there is nothing to be afraid of below the Jindan period."

He gave her a jade hairpin and put it in a bun, and her good-looking phoenix eyes were slightly curved.

"If you are young, you have to smile more to look good, what to do with a bitter face."
