Chapter 271 Su Yue is a ghost and the city lord is wooing
Bai Feifei has fallen?
Zhong Yan was slightly stunned, let the others leave first, and asked, "When is it?" ”
Yuan Ziyi said: "Senior Sister just sent me a message that the soul card that Senior Sister Feifei left in the Pepsi Hall yesterday was broken, and Xiaoqin has been sent to Jingcheng to investigate. ”
What the hell is Su Yue doing...... Zhong Yan muttered in his heart, would Bai Feifei not know if he fell?
There was the other party's soul card in his storage bag, which was newly refined by Bai Feifei before leaving Immortal City, and handed it to him as a souvenir, just in case, lying quietly in the storage bag at the moment intact.
After pondering for a while, Zhong Yan took out the talisman to summon Bai Feifei, waited for half an hour and did not respond, and asked, "What else did you say?" ”
Yuan Ziyi said: "I didn't say anything else, I just notified me and reminded us to pay attention to safety, there may be someone targeting Qifeng in secret." ”
Zhong Yan took out the soul card and showed her: "Feifei." ”
"......" Yuan Ziyi was stunned for a moment, pinched the soul card and said silently: "Why did Senior Sister do this?" ”
It was difficult for Zhong Yan, who had no head and no brain, to think about it, and shook his head and said: "It is estimated that for what reason, Su Yue restricted Feifei's movements, and there will be no danger." ”
There were two things he could think of for the time being.
One is Shattered Star Island, which may have a new clue and sent Bai Fei to fly over and cut off contact with the outside world.
The other is that his relationship with Bai Feifei was exposed, and Su Yue beat himself to make progress.
Because the experience in Mangdang Mountain was delayed for three years, and Yao Huilan vaguely asked when the plan to control Qingyang would start before she went to sea to pioneer the land, it was obvious that Su Yue was urging in disguise.
No matter what, although Su Yue has a lot of thoughts, at present, he is very good to all the disciples of the Seven Peaks, and he has never done anything harmful.
"If it's against me, when the time comes, she will reveal her purpose, so don't worry about it for the time being."
After a pause, Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Your senior sister counts the heavens and the earth, not her own strength?" ”
Yuan Ziyi thought for a while and said: "There are less than five years left before the vassal kingdom competition, and there will be a batch of melting elixir and alchemy materials as rewards, maybe the senior sister has a way to get it." ”
"Five years ......" Zhong Yan muttered, "The big war may not be held normally, we will follow the step-by-step process, do the things in front of us first, and wait for the Liu family to give Su Yue an attitude, and then improve the overall strength first." ”
The long-term development of a family should take into account all aspects.
The Zhong family has just started, although it has some strength in combat power, but the foundation is weak, and it is even said that there is no foundation, and there are too many things lacking.
Spiritual vein, without spiritual vein, there is no good cultivation environment, Qingyang spiritual energy is thin, even if it is blessed by the spirit gathering array, it is not as good as the concentration of spiritual energy in the natural state of Xiancheng.
Zhong Yan was deeply touched by this, and Jiang Huan also sighed.
And the Liu family only has a second-order lower grade spirit vein, and snatching it over will only be enough for the current Zhong Mansion.
There are also resources such as spiritual fields and minerals.
For example, the spiritual field, whether it is planting the spiritual valley or cultivating the elixir, in addition to the rich spiritual energy, there are also requirements for the soil, which is not an overnight effort.
At present, the herbs cultivated by Yuan Ziyi in the deep courtyard are only a few low-grade herbs, which are maintained by the formation.
In this way, the materials needed for alchemy, alchemy, talisman making, etc., have to be bought from outside, not to mention the low income, and they are still manipulated.
If someone else gets stuck in the supply of materials, they can curb your development.
Speaking of these things, Yuan Ziyi said softly: "It would be nice if I could move the Seven Peaks Medicine Garden here." ”
Zhong Yan couldn't help but laugh.
The medicine garden in her mouth is a valley of more than 1,000 acres surrounded by four mountain peaks, the area is larger than Zhongfu, the soil is fertile, surrounded by formations, and all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs are planted.
"If you have a chance, when your strength goes up in the future, ask your senior sister to borrow it."
Yuan Ziyi, are you borrowing?
At this time, Zhong Xiaozhong's voice came from outside: "Master, the city lord of Xia is visiting." ”
"Well, I want to go to her."
Zhong Yan said, stepping out.
Yuan Ziyi looked at her husband's face: "Do you want to turn her into your own person?" ”
After a pause, she added, "But it's the easiest and quickest way." ”
Then he urged: "When the princess of the court!" ”
Zhong Yan's face was strange, and he smiled: "You also joked with me, why did I smell a sour smell?" ”
Xia Xinzhu, the second floor of the foundation, the royal family of Yan Guo, the seventeenth princess of the current dynasty, once cultivated in the Chiyang Sect.
When Yan first marched into the Wei battlefield, she left the Chiyang Sect to become a subordinate mage and participated in the Wei conquest with the army......
Later, she became the first female city lord of Yan to settle in Qingyang, and she supported the orthodox prince and the fourth prince.
Of course, its representative is naturally a certain faction of the Chiyang Sect.
The Xia emperor, the eldest prince died young, the second prince was a monk and did not participate in the competition for the throne, and the third prince was appointed as the crown prince, but he died in the battle for succession.
At present, the popular candidates for the throne are not only the 'four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes' among the children of the Xia family, but also the two little marquis of the Yan family and the Wang family, who have also ascended the throne.
Speaking of which, the martial arts family of the Qin family inherited the title of 'King Ning', and the ancestors also had the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, but there were almost no monks in the clan, so they gradually declined, and Qin Benming supported the Eight Princes, but in fact, he was ambitious and wanted to rule the Yan Kingdom.
There are definitely not a few people like Qin Ben, the key is whether the backers behind them are hard enough.
The outer courtyard is a side hall.
Yu Qingyao is receiving Xia Xinzhu - wearing a tunic green coat, with a long figure, a standard melon seed face, and a sharp and heroic spirit between her eyebrows, just sitting there calmly giving people a sassy feeling.
"Xia City Lord!"
"Zhong Daoyou!"
Xia Xinzhu got up and arched his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he naturally had healing power, which made people feel good when they saw it.
She had complained that she could not see each other many times, but now she is gone, but she is polite and friendly.
The first is that Zhong Yan is indeed not there, and the second is to have an in-depth understanding of the powerful background of the Zhong Mansion, and the second is that after the previous few contacts, he has a good impression of Zhong Yan.
After some politeness, Xia Hsinchu made her intentions clear, so she naturally joined her camp and supported her management in Qingyang.
Now that Qingyang's forces are complicated, there are many monks, and chaos will inevitably arise.
Assassinations at night and street fights during the day have occurred from time to time, so that public opinion is not angry.
Xia Xinzhu has just arrived, and her foundation is weak, not to mention the power of the monks, each with its own background and background, and even mortal forces such as 'Wantang' and 'Caoyun Gang' don't buy her account.
Governing a city is different from leading troops to fight, mainly because of the stability of the people and economic development.
In the past three years, although Qingyang's tax revenue has increased steadily, it is much smaller than when Qin Ben was in power, and it is still under the condition that the gathering of a large number of monks will definitely boost the economic prosperity.
Therefore, Xia Xinzhu was often involved by competitors in the capital, and he was overwhelmed.
Zhong Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Doesn't the city lord know that there is a little concubine Qin Ziyue in my mansion, who is the sister of the Qin Ben clan?" ”
Qin Ben, who went out of the little Qingyang, has undoubtedly become a dark horse on the battlefield of the Wei State, attacking the city and pulling out the village, like a bamboo, laying down the key hub city of 'Ruyang City', with an elite army of 400,000, and has become the No. 1 commander under the 'Eight Princes'.
Xia Xinzhu glanced at Yuan Ziyi and Yu Qingyao respectively, and said, "I've heard of it." ”
"The four princes are kind-hearted, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he will be able to become the ruler of the country in the future, open the prosperous era of the Yan country, and benefit the people of Li......"
"If Qin Shuai can support and assist the four princes to take charge of the unification, Hsinchu can be the master and promise, and King Ning will be called 'the king of one word side by side', and he will be hereditary."
"Zhongfu is thriving, and if you want to multiply into a clan, in the northwest of Yan Kingdom, Daoists can arbitrarily choose two big cities as clan lands and enjoy a population of tens of millions."
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows, for the strength shown by Zhong Fu Ming today, this condition has to be said to be very generous.
It shows the weight and right of the other party to speak in the four princes.
He said with a smile: "It's too early to say this, it's not a simple problem of Wei now, the entire Eastern Regions is in a big war, the disaster of the Nianli Bead has evolved to the end, and the existence of the Yan State is still two words, this, I think the city lord should see it better than me, I advise you to plan for yourself as soon as possible, maybe, in a few years, all the cities will have to fight for themselves." ”
Xia Xinzhu frowned slightly, but had to admit this fact.
"As for Qingyang, Zhong is willing to do his best to inform the Caoyun Gang and cooperate with the work of the City Lord's Mansion in various ports and docks...... ”
After a pause, Zhong Yan continued to smile and said, "Conditions, I want three thousand pairs of standard weapons." ”
"Three thousand?!"
Xia Xinzhu's voice suddenly rose, staring at it and asking, "Is the Zhong Mansion going to cultivate a private army?" Or is it to support Qin Shuai? ”
Zhong Yan: "You don't have to worry about this. ”
Xia Xinzhu looked at each other and muttered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out." ”
Zhong Yan bowed his head, glanced her up and down, turned his head around, and said with a smile without taboo: "I don't know if Princess Hsinchu has a close sister or niece, but Zhong is quite interested in the royal bloodline and is willing to be a concubine." ”
Xia Xinzhu was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable by the aggressive gaze, and subconsciously looked away.
The power-suited maid standing behind her was also stunned, and her head was lowered with a flash of disdain.
Xia Xinzhu, who came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Hsinchu will consider this matter carefully and give a reply to Daoist friends as soon as possible." ”
After a cup of tea.
Yu Qingyao sent the two out of the house.
After staying away from the Zhong Mansion, the maid Chuanyin was dissatisfied: "Princess, this person is too rude, and he has finally revealed his true face!" A despicable person who relies on women to ascend to the throne actually wants to marry a princess and a county lord as a concubine! ”
If it is a mortal, but Zhong Yan's meaning is obviously to ask the royal family to be a female cultivator, all of them with noble status, which one is not the right person to be the wife?
Xia Xinzhu was silent and asked, "Is there a suitable one in the capital?" ”
The maid thought for a while and said, "The county lord of Lishu has returned from the Huoyun Sect, the three spirit roots are five layers of qi refining, and the purity of the spirit root essence is average, and the fourth prince is preparing to find a marriage partner for her." ”
After a pause, she said worriedly: "Princess, I see that Zhong Yan, the dog thief, has found an excuse, in fact, he has taken a fancy to you, I really don't understand, except for being good-looking, what does he have, the inferior Four Spirit Roots, in his fifties, he failed to build a foundation, and it is difficult to build a foundation after sixty, Yuan Zhiqing of Qifeng is actually willing to marry him!" ”
Xia Xinzhu's eyes flickered and said: "Things can't just look at the surface, about Xiancheng he hooked up with a female cultivator of the family is just a rumor, how it is debatable." ”
The maid retorted: "There are dozens of concubines in his house, and it is a fact that he is obsessed with women!" ”
Xia Xinzhu: "Speaking of Qingyang alone, before Yuan Zhiqing married him, he was very prosperous, and now his voice in the Caoyun Gang and the Ten Thousand Halls is better than that of the Yang Mansion, how can he be a general incompetent?" ”
The maid was surprised: "The princess means ......"
Xia Xinzhu pursed his lips and said: "His personal relationship is quite complicated, and it helps a lot, Qin Ben alone is worth wooing, if he can support the fourth brother, it doesn't hurt for me to marry him." ”
The maid sighed in her heart, but she understood the temperament of her master.
It is the most special one among the many children of the royal family, who has experienced since childhood, experienced the suffering of the people of Limin, and sincerely thinks about the people of the world.
Especially after experiencing the Great War of Wei, he didn't want to put the people in the chaos of the war.
This is also the reason why they chose to support the Four Princes, rather than the Twelve Princes, who were actually closer.
Not long after the two returned to the City Lord's Mansion, they received a letter of worship from the Ten Thousand Halls and the Caoyun Gang, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Xia Xinzhu said: "Standard weapons, you can do it." ”
