Chapter 106: Gather in Qingtan
Outside Qingtan City, the sky suddenly changed, the thick black fog gathered in the mountains in the distance, the black fog thick like a mountain almost shrouded the entire Niujiao Mountain in it, there was lightning and thunder in the dense fog, and the surrounding clear sky formed a sharp contrast, it was really a black cloud crushing the city to destroy, a good scene of doomsday. The movement is so great that even Qingtan City, which is far away, can be seen clearly.
"What the hell is going on, you look at the sky, the sky is clear, but the side of Niujiao Mountain seems to be hit by a torrential rain at any time!"
"That's it, that's it, I'm so big, it's the first time I've seen such a scene, and I'm scared to death."
"There won't be any monsters, the god is angry, right?"
Bursts of thunder resounded in the sky, as if hitting everyone's hearts, inexplicably uneasy.
At the door of the wonton shop, Yun Niang leaned on the door frame, looked up at the Niujiao Mountain hidden by the thick fog in the distance, her face was full of worry, if she remembered correctly, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu were in the mountains at this time, such a big battle, don't let anything bad happen.
The Li family is in a similar situation.
Listening to the thunder in his ears, Li Mubai couldn't help but feel irritable for a while, instead of looking up at the sky, he poured a cup of tea from the table, and after drinking it all, his irritability was not calmed down, so he simply stood up and kept wandering around the door, trying to distract himself and calm himself.
A middle-aged man walked quickly to the house, looked at Li Mubai, who was constantly wandering, frowned slightly, and said, "Mubai, have you forgotten what your father told you?" Whenever there is a big event, be calm, be still! What's the use of you being in a hurry? ”
Hearing his father's words, Li Mubai said: "Father, I understand what you said, but Wang Shaoxia and Zhou Shaoxia were invited by me, and they have been deep into Niujiao Mountain for so many days in order to help me investigate Qingmeng's whereabouts. ”
Li Mubai sighed heavily.
Just because of one of his letters, the two of them traveled thousands of miles from Bazhou to Xuanzhou regardless of the long distance, if there are any three strengths and two weaknesses between the two of them because of their own affairs, how can he rest assured.
"You sit down, this change in Niujiaoshan may not have happened because of Wang Shaoxia and Zhou Shaoxia, maybe they have left early."
"My father came here to discuss something with you, what kind of people are you going around like this!" Father Li shook his head and said to Li Mubai.
In his opinion, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu are very powerful, but there must be a limit, what happened on Niujiao Mountain is not caused by human beings at all, how can it be related to the two of them, he is more willing to believe that these are just coincidences.
Hearing that his father had something to discuss with him, Li Mubai was irritable, but he still sat down patiently.
"Mu Bai, my father intends to develop the family industry in Bazhou, and plans to send you over to preside over affairs, I don't know what you think?" Father Li poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then spoke.
Growing a business?
Isn't the Li family's business in Xuanzhou very good? In recent years, the income has also been growing steadily, why should you develop your business, and it is in Bazhou?
Li Mubai asked suspiciously, "Father, why is this?" If the clan really wants to expand, why not choose Xuanzhou, which we are familiar with? Now that Xuanzhou is in ruins, it is a good time to expand your business! ”
The drought in Xuanzhou, except for a few areas, most of the areas are deserted, no one cultivates the farmland, no one takes care of the shops, the textile industry and other handicraft industries are basically in a state of inability to start, and the mining industry is mostly in a semi-suspended state because people have fled the famine.
If the Li family intervenes now, they will definitely be able to gain a lot and get a share of the big cake in Xuanzhou.
Li Mubai didn't believe that his father didn't know this.
Father Li didn't explain the reason, but said: "This matter, the clan has its own considerations, and I came to ask you today, just to let you have a psychological preparation, and when you go to Bazhou, you will study hard, and you will have someone to do it when you take care of your business." ”
Father Li stood up, walked to the door, and looked in the direction of Niujiao Mountain, which was full of dark clouds not far away.
On this day, it is going to change, sooner or later!
In the past five years, Xuanzhou has experienced a flood that is rare in 50 years, followed by a drought that is rare in a century, and now there are many forbidden places inexplicably, and the trade routes are cut off.
Although the imperial court didn't say anything, how could they, the merchants who had been walking all over the mirror country all year round, not be able to smell the incomprehensible crisis.
It is necessary to know that the wind knows the strong grass, and vice versa, it is not the strong grass that knows the wind.
Outside the city, in a temporary camp, Jiazi and the old man stood side by side, their eyes were looking at the cloudy Niujiao Mountain in the distance, and their eyes were full of heaviness.
"I didn't expect to be hit by your little one's crow's mouth." The old man looked at the Niujiao Mountain, which seemed to be about to fall down, and the corners of his mouth were full of wry smiles.
This time, Xuanzhou is planted.
"Uncle Shi, what should we do?" Jiazi didn't have any joy on his face, and his face was extremely solemn.
Xuanzhou and Bazhou border, if something really happens to Xuanzhou, how can Bazhou be good, it is estimated that it will also be affected.
What to do?
The old man saw this kind of situation for the first time, how did he know what to do?
The old man sighed in his heart, but he still said to Jiazi: "Now the top priority is to notify the two cities of Qingfeng and Qingtan near Niujiao Mountain to temporarily evacuate the surrounding people, and at the same time send a message to the imperial capital to inform them of the situation!" ”
Up to now, there is only one way to do one's best, obey the destiny of heaven, fortunately, it was discovered early, if the imperial capital supports it in time, it will not cause a tragedy on the side of Shu.
However, most of the two cities of Qingfeng and Qingtan near Niujiao Mountain could not be saved.
Thinking of this, the old man said to Jiazi: "By the way, being able to discover the changes here is thanks to your two good friends, what about them?" ”
Speaking of Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu, Jiazi and the two couldn't help but show a look of worry, "Brother Wang and Brother Zhou roughly talked about the situation here in the letter, and then said that they would wait for me at the Li family in Qingtan City. ”
According to the news from the Li family, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu specially instructed them before leaving, if anyone came to the Li Mansion to look for them, they said that they would go to the vicinity of Niujiao Mountain to take a look at the situation, and they would not go deeper, and they would come back in two or three days at most.
But now more than half a month has passed, and the two of them have not heard any news, and since they entered Niujiao Mountain, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
He didn't believe that the two of them would be so reckless, knowing that there was danger and going deep into the mountains, thinking that he must have encountered some accident, so he couldn't return in time.
The old man patted Jiazi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, according to what you said before, your two friends have probably broken through to more than 100, even if they can't beat those weird things, they still have the power to protect themselves." ”
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and soon a man dressed in the uniform of the Qin Tian Supervisor hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, clasped his hands into fists, his body bent slightly, and said to the two of them: "Venerable Master, Yang Yi, the city lord of Qingtan City, asks to see you!" ”
The old man nodded and said, "You go and bring him, and use the spirit eagle to notify the headquarters, just say"
Before the old man could finish his words, a hearty voice came in from outside the tent.
"The third child is gone! We've arrived! ”
The voice fell, and a tall old man with a long sword on his back walked in, he was stout, but his face was pale, his lips were black, and he looked as if he had been seriously injured.
It was the Venerable Master Tianxuan who heard the news!
Looking at the Venerable Tianxuan who suddenly appeared, Jiazi couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, why are you here!" Your injuries"
Master Tianxuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "You kid does things without care, without my master watching, I really can't rest assured of you!" ”
Hearing the master's words, Jiazi couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose.
After Master Tianxuan finished speaking, he looked at the old man beside Jiazi and said with a smile: "Third child, yes, it looks like you are about to break through the eighth stage!" ”
The old man, who was called the third child by the Venerable Master Tianxuan, did not show any excitement, but sighed and said, "Senior brother, you shouldn't have come. ”
The situation of the Venerable Tianxuan, he had heard Jiazi say, was not optimistic, and at this time, he should stay at the headquarters to recuperate, rather than come here to participate in the affairs here.
Venerable Tianxuan smiled heartily, slapped his fist lightly on the old man's shoulder, and said, "Why, now that you are a realm higher than your senior brother, you look down on your senior brother, a little master of the Dou Shi?" ”
The old man just shook his head: "Senior brother, you know I didn't mean that. ”
Master Tianxuan nodded, "From childhood to adulthood, among our group of senior brothers, you Tianji is the most proficient in life, and your cultivation qualifications are also the best. Now I let my proudest apprentice and the most promising junior brother stay here, how can I, as a master and senior brother, avoid without fighting, and hide behind to enjoy the blessings! ”
When the Venerable Master heard Senior Brother's words, he couldn't help but want to persuade a few more words, but the old man shook his head and said, "No need to persuade me, for me, the death of the people of Qin Tianjian is the same as the death of the soldier in a strange battle and the corpse of a soldier's horse leather, this is my best destination." ”
"You know, your senior brother and I have never been the kind of people who would choose to die silently."
"It's my choice!"
Hearing the old man's words, Venerable Tianji and Jiazi couldn't help but fall silent.
The Venerable Master Tianxuan smiled and said, "Besides, I didn't come alone this time, but I called all those old guys in danger of being punished!" ”
As soon as Venerable Tianxuan's words fell, a large number of energetic old men poured into the door, including men and women, most of them with gray hair and ruddy faces.
"Dimensity, long time no see!"
Today, in Qingtan City, seven stars gather!
