Chapter 194: It's Been a Year Grassland
For the track of Happy Wind, some people scoff, and some people like it very much. But no matter what, Jiang Xingchen's goal was achieved, and the song spread rapidly, giving the audience of the Four Kingdoms an impression of Bauhinia.
After the performance in Linshui City, the business of the teahouse also boomed, and almost all three performances were full every day, which really met Jiang Xingchen's expectations.
After the performance, Jiang Xingchen received another sum of money, and the pressure on his body was suddenly relieved a lot. The early investment in construction, five million is enough to spend a period of time, and now his main pressure comes from feeding the more than 300 slaves ~ Li, after this money is in hand, he completely turns it over.
The development of a qiē is very smooth, and the sesame seeds of the star collar are also harvested, although because I don't understand, when I harvest the sesame seeds, because the pod exploded, the sesame seeds fell into the field and lost a part, but the remaining amount is also quite a lot.
Before you know it, the weather cools down, and in early November, the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe completes its performance in the imperial capital. Many high-ranking officials of the empire went to the scene and were full of praise for the performance. In particular, the people in the military department gave high recognition to the story that was strung together with songs.
After the three performances of the Qiankun Empire, Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou had to temporarily return to Hongyuan City to prepare for the next three stops of the Orc Alliance, the Great Qin Kingdom, and the Moon Shadow Kingdom.
The carriage was driving on the road, and Mei'er in the carriage looked at Jiang Xingchen quietly, her eyes unblinking.
"Little girl, why do you look at my brother like this, do you have flowers on my face?" Jiang Xingchen asked a little strangely.
"Nonsense, how can there be flowers on the face!" Mei'er smiled, and then said softly, "Brother still remember this time last year?"
"Last year......" Jiang Xingchen muttered, and then the whole person fell silent. This time last year, of course, he remembers.
I just crossed over, and my whole body hurts. Slept in a dilapidated and leaky room, and even the bed was made of broken wooden planks.
At that time, I was full of fear of the unknown and unfamiliar environment, and I was deeply wary of Yiqiē. It was the little girl in front of him who pretended to have a strong smile and a piece of black flour that couldn't be swallowed, knocking open his closed heart.
Until now, he still remembers the first time he saw Mei's child, so thin, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and dry hair. His arms were scarred, and even his shoes showed his toes.
"Of course I remember!" Jiang Xingchen slowly spoke, stretched out his hand and gently held Mei'er's face: "At that time, my brother was injured by fake medicine, if there was no little girl's care, my brother would probably be dead!"
Mei'er's little hand pressed on Jiang Xingchen's palm. Leaned forward and approached Jiang Xingchen's arms. He said in a low voice, "It's been since this time last year." My brother has become different from before...... this year. It's the happiest day Mei'er has ever had......"
"Silly girl, this kind of happy day in the future. My brother will let you live forever!"
"No matter what happens after that, my brother is not allowed to drive Mei'er away!" the little girl raised her head and said very seriously.
"What are you talking about, you are my brother's only relative, how could my brother drive you away!" Jiang Xingchen rubbed the top of Mei'er's head.
"But...... Brother ...... sooner or later I'm going to get married!" Mei'er bit her lip. I said this sentence intermittently, and I felt a little blocked in my heart.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's too early to say this, I'm just seventeen years old!" He was very reluctant to talk to Mei'er about it.
"Brother, it's not too early! Next year you will be eighteen years old, and you will be officially married...... There are a lot of noble ladies writing to you now, and you're afraid you won't be able to delay it then!"
Jiang Xingchen frowned slightly, what Mei'er said was indeed the truth, he was a viscount at the age of seventeen, with a huge territory and a rich net worth, once he reached the age when he should get married, I don't know how many people would come to the door, and at that time, he would definitely not be able to shirk at will like before!
Originally, as a person with normal body and mind, he would also have a crush on beautiful girls, and he would also have illusions. But he always had a thin shadow in his heart, a shadow that entered his heart as soon as he woke up. It kept the other girls out.
This was not even clear to him, and he had never delved into his own emotions.
Sometimes, he also thinks about his own future, but when he reaches a certain point, he breaks it off himself. There are some things that he really doesn't want to touch, such as Mei'er who wants to marry when she grows up......
"Okay, let's not mention this for now!I'll talk about it when I'm eighteen years old!" Jiang Xingchen didn't want to continue this topic, and changed the conversation and said, "Brother will give you a new game ...... in a while."
"What's the fun?" Before Jiang Xingchen could finish speaking, the old man swooped into the carriage and asked loudly with interest.
"Old man, why are you so elusive!" Jiang Xingchen covered his forehead with a speechless expression.
"If the Ancestor wants to protect your safety, of course he has to be around you at all times......! Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me what's new...... Hmmm!"
The old man was talking quickly, when his face suddenly sank, and the air in the entire carriage seemed to freeze.
"What's wrong?" The old man's change made Jiang Xingchen nervous, stretched out his arm, and grabbed Mei'er's wrist tightly.
"Brother!" Mei'er grabbed her brother with her backhand, not only was she not nervous, but she was also a little happy. Whenever something happens, the first thing my brother thinks of is himself.
"Stay still!," the old man instructed, and swooped out.
But in just a moment, the old man returned, and his solemn expression was swept away, and he changed back to smiling.
"Old man, what the hell is going on?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"It's all right, you just have two more bodyguards!
"That's it!" Jiang Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Since they are bodyguards, why didn't the old man bring them?"
"Don't pay attention to them, those two old things have a very weird temper, just when they don't save zài!" The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and walked out of the carriage, forgetting about the new game!
Jiang Xingchen touched his chin and said in a low voice: "Listening to the old man's tone, these two bodyguards are not simple!"
"Brother, these two bodyguards seem to be very powerful, now we don't have to be afraid of enemies when we go to other countries!" Mei'er said.
"Hehe!" Jiang Xingchen patted the top of Mei'er's head and said softly: "This tour, there shouldn't be any danger! What I'm worried about now is who you will call to protect you in the Moon Shadow Kingdom in the future!"
"Ahh
"Of course, it's best if you don't have it, but if you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of what if!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"That'...... Brother, why don't I go!" Mei'er said hesitantly. From the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want to leave her brother! As for whether she could enter the Academy of the Moon Shadow Kingdom, she had no doubt at all, if her brother said that there was a way, there must be a way.
"If you don't go, you can't take medicine for the rest of your life...... You don't have to worry about bodyguards, I'll arrange it for you!"
Jiang Xingchen said this in his mouth, but he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, it was difficult to find a master like the old man.
But Mei'er is alone in the Moon Shadow Kingdom, and he really doesn't feel at ease. Xuanyuan Tianzong can't do anything to him, and if he doesn't get it right, he will turn his target to the little girl!
Subsequently, the two stopped talking about it and talked about it again at this time last year.
The little girl is like a treasure, and she remembers everything and every detail clearly, which makes Jiang Xingchen feel moved in his heart......
On the way back, Jiang Xingchen never saw the two bodyguards, and when he asked the old man, he only said that he didn't need to pay attention to it, and then he really ignored it!
After returning to Hongyuan City, Jiang Xingchen, Wanrou, and Mei'er once again devoted themselves to hard practice.
In early November, the north wind howled, pushing the temperature down continuously. At this time, the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe set off for the Orc Alliance. To Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou's surprise, many people followed them and set off to the grassland. They were really impressed!
By the middle of November, Jiang Xingchen and the others had crossed the branches of the vast mountains, and the endless grassland appeared in front of them.
In early winter, the grasslands further north are already very cold, and the weeds are a little yellow. Looking at the line of heaven and earth in the distance, he felt that his eyes were full of gloom, and Jiang Xingchen's mind couldn't help but burst out of the sky and the vast wilderness.
"Hahahaha...... Brother, welcome to the Orc Alliance!" There was a burst of laughter, and Luo Yu led a team of centaurs in the distance to arrive quickly.
"Young Patriarch, it's really troublesome to come so far to pick it up!" Jiang Xingchen greeted him with a smile.
"It's boring! I'm so polite with me!" Luo Yu stepped forward and lightly punched Jiang Xingchen's shoulder.
Saying this, Luo Yu still did enough etiquette and led Jiang Xingchen and them to the depths of the grassland.
"Brother, we don't have a performance venue on the grassland! For your tour, I have invested a lot of money to hire someone to build a simple venue! It is to accommodate fewer people......" Luo Yu said on the way.
Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Venue, what are you building the venue for?"
"If you don't build a venue, how can you act!" Luo Yu widened his eyes and said angrily, he wasted so much energy, this kid didn't thank him, and he still used a disgusted tone.
"I didn't say I had to perform at the venue!" Jiang Xingchen also looked straight.
"If you don't perform at the venue, do you want to perform in the open air, just like you build an open-air stage in the city, so how do you charge?" Luo Yu was also a little confused.
"God, don't you just enclose a place, it's not impossible to perform in the open air, do you need to build a special venue!"
"It seems to be!" Luo Yu replied cutely, and suddenly wailed: "What do you mean...... This venue, I'm brewing Bai Jian!" (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really sorry everyone! I'm so busy with work today, I originally wanted to rush to before six o'clock as much as possible, but it has been delayed until now! I beg your pardon! I should be back to normal tomorrow!
