The backyard of the royal palace.

The rocks here are stacked, and the rockeries are chic.

The water is murmuring and crystal clear, and there are fish playing in it, rolling a little splash from time to time.

Through the peerless arrangement of the prince and the princess, this place can be described as one step at a time, three steps into fun, and it contains more mysteries.

Inside the pavilion.

Ling Ruowei sat on the stone bench, shaking the crib lightly, her face was stunned, and her eyes were sad.

These days, she has no intention of dressing up, crying silently day and night, and her face is almost withered.

Rumo's long hair is dry and curly, and his eyes are red, which is thousands of miles away from his former demeanor.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, a streamer of light fell from the sky and landed in the pavilion, turning into an old man with a clear face.

"Vivi. The old man looked at Ling Ruowei and saw her like this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said:

"What's the matter with you?"

"But the guy surnamed Zhu bullied you, tell my father, I will stand up for you and teach him a good lesson!"

"My daughter of a thousand machines, how can I be bullied!"

"Daddy. The familiar voice and appearance made Ling Ruowei's delicate body tremble, and then she lowered her head and cried bitterly:

"Dad, Dingwu is dead!"

"......" The old man's body froze, his eyes were confused, and then he couldn't help but look embarrassed:

"Daughter, Su Dingwu is your husband after all, even if something is wrong, it doesn't seem good for you to curse him like this. ”

"But why do you think he's sorry for you?"

The old man's voice sank, and his face was full of anger:

"Don't worry, since my father is here today, I will definitely get you justice!"

"Woo woo......" Ling Ruowei cried and shook her head, although she looked sad, she didn't know how to speak.

"Girl. Seeing his daughter like this, the old man couldn't help but feel heartache and helplessness:

"I told you a long time ago, that kid was born with a romantic breed, did he provoke other women?"

"Also, it's not good who you marry, but if you marry someone from the Zhu family, he is the royal family of the previous dynasty!"

"Dad!" Ling Ruowei raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she cried:

"You said at the time that as long as we are obedient, the people of the underworld will not hurt Dingwu. ”

"But now ......"

She paused, and wept again.

"Daughter. The old man's face was bitter, and he said:

"Although there is some relationship with being a father, the underworld is ...... after all But don't worry, I already know who the judge who did it here a few days ago is, so I'm going to avenge you!"

"No matter how wrong the surname Zhu is, he is also my son-in-law of Qianjizi, how can people be bullied in vain?"

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

"No need. Ling Ruowei in the back cried and shook her head:

"It's late!"

"It's late!"

"It's not too late. The old man hurriedly spoke:

"The judge is still in Anle County, come when you go for your father, don't be too strange, the child is important. ”

"Child?" Ling Ruowei smiled bitterly, looking down at Bao'er on the crib, her face becoming more and more sad.

"Vivi. The old man hesitated for a moment, and said:

"If you're really unhappy, you can come back to Qianjidong with me, but I've had some things going on these days. ”

"There may be a delay. ”

"Back to the Thousand Machine Cave. Ling Ruowei raised her head and nodded slowly after a long time:

"It's fine. ”

"Huh?" Seeing that his daughter agreed, the old man frowned.

He knew very well the relationship between his daughter and Su Dingwu, and if he wasn't really heartbroken, he would never have been able to go back.

This kid!

As soon as the steel teeth were bitten, the old man's eyes suddenly froze.

............

"Lord Wang. ”

Steward's voice rang out:

"The Ink Fun Bookstore has arrived!"

"Hmm. Guo Fan nodded, walked out of the sedan car slowly, and walked into the backyard guest room of the bookstore surrounded by everyone.

After returning from the garrison, his sedan car did not return to the palace, but went straight to the city.

Bookstore.

It is a place where books are printed.

Usually there are two kinds of bookstores, one official and one private, and this ink bookstore is in between.

It used to be an official office, but it was an official square of the previous dynasty.

Now it is the property of the royal palace and belongs to the people's workshop, but it also does the business of the local yamen.

Of course.

The most important thing is to assist the prince and his wife in sorting out various propaganda books, or printing and distributing some poems, books and music scores.

As an elegant person, with outstanding status and a lot of family resources, how could Su Dingwu not have a private bookstore.

It's just that this ink fun bookstore is doing well, and it is also the largest bookstore in the county town of Anle County.

"Villain Zhao Liu, knock to see the prince!" The director of the bookstore is Zhao Liu, who looks like a profiteer.

This person is short and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, even if he wears a literati's robe at this time, it is like a monkey crown, which is extremely incompatible.

But he is not weak in means, and he has been running the Moqu Bookstore for several years, and he has kept it in good order.

The bookstore can have today, and this person has made a lot of contributions.

"Get up. Guo Fan waved his sleeves, picked up a folding fan beside him, unfolded it and gently opened it.

"Thank you. Zhao Liuxi got up, patted his sleeves and approached, and said:

The picture of the Spring River on this fan is painted by Wen Yan, a talented man from the six southwestern provinces, and it has become a masterpiece. ”

"When the villain took it, it was only seventy taels of silver, and now it is impossible to buy it for less than three hundred taels. ”

"Absolutely loud?" Guo Fan put down the folding fan and said:

"What's going on?"

"I remember that this man was not very old, and the princess once said that he was the most promising person in the world to become a generation of painting saints. ”

"It's a pity to die. ”

"Back to the prince. Zhao Liu arched his hand and said:

This person was not able to measure himself, and he refused to offer a painting because of the Yin Difference, and as a result, he annoyed the Yin Lady and was killed on the spot. ”

"This is also his own fault!"

"That's ......" Guo Fan understood and nodded expressionlessly:

"Put the fan away, his daily price may be able to rise a little more, don't rush to sell it for the time being. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Liuyi was stunned.

He knew that the prince liked to be elegant, and he appreciated people with arrogance, and he might be unhappy when he heard this today, but he didn't want it to be like this.

Hurriedly surrendered at the moment:

"Yes, the villain obeys. ”

"How's the business lately?" Guo Fan sat on the soft chair, closed his eyes, and said in a leisurely voice:

"How's the profit? Which books sell best?"

"Back to the prince. Zhao Liu's spirit was shocked and said:

"In the past two months, the bookstore has made a good income, and the monthly income is more than 3,000 taels of silver, of which the official government printing accounts for a part, and the rest comes from various picture books, ghost opera stories. ”

"As for the poetry scrolls, although they are not sold much, they are highly profitable, so they are also very profitable. ”

When he replied, he couldn't help but feel strange.

These mundane things contaminated with copper stench, the prince never asked in the past, and they were all the stewards of the palace who came to investigate.

Today......

Something seems different.

"Hmm. Guo Fan didn't know what he was thinking, he just nodded when he heard the words, and at the same time waved his hand to let people take out a booklet.

Speak slowly:

"You will hand over this book to your subordinates today for printing and scatter it in the book market as soon as possible. ”

"Gather Qi to Nourish Yuan Gong?" Zhao Liu swept the words on the booklet, and his heart immediately tightened:

"Lord Wang, this is ...... Martial arts cheats?"

"Don't be so surprised. Guo Fan shook his head lightly, with a casual expression:

"It's just some health and body training, but if you practice well, you can also achieve something. ”

"It's not a miracle either. ”

"That's it. Zhao Liu put his mind at ease, although the new dynasty did not strictly prohibit martial arts, it was still taboo to print and distribute martial arts.

Fortunately, now that the new dynasty has been established, the world is in chaos, and there are many rogues everywhere, in order to protect themselves, many people need to learn martial arts.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

In today's book market, there are many martial arts classics, and some are even rumored to have been secretly stolen from the underworld.

In the meantime, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Zhao Liu also has a certain amount of cultivation, and the strange scriptures have penetrated the two, so he has some discernment.

A cursory flip shows the level of this skill.

It is almost the same as the ordinary exercises circulating on the market, and it is not outstanding, let alone the method he cultivates.

Turning his mind around, Zhao Liu arched his hand and said:

"The villain will order it to be printed and distributed, but how much does the prince think the price of this book is appropriate?"

Guo Fan opened his eyes, looked at each other, and said:

"What do you think?"

"This ......" Zhao Liu pondered for a moment and said:

"This skill is not outstanding, but Zhongzheng is peaceful, can purify the breath, prolong life, and does not need any foundation, anyone can practice, and it can't be considered bad. ”

"On the market, most of the body refining martial arts of this level are around ten to thirty. ”

"If the prince is willing to sign, we can price this work higher, how about thirty times?"

"Thirty runs?" Guo Fan chuckled:

"People who can buy it for thirty times, I'm afraid that there are few people who lack martial arts cheats, even if it is ten times, there are more!"

"Lord Wang. Zhao Liu hesitated for a moment, although he felt that it was inappropriate, but he still spoke cautiously:

"Do you know that the people who buy martial arts cheats are not ordinary people, and they are not even willing to buy villain books. Most of them are wealthy merchants, high rollers, or some chivalrous warriors, so most of the prices are not very cheap. ”

"Heh......" Guo Fan raised his hand and said:

"I know what you mean, because the quantity can't go up, so the profit will naturally not be big. ”

"Not bad. Zhao Liu smiled awkwardly.

"Then ......" Guo Fan said:

"How much does it cost to print this?"

Zhao Liu raised his eyebrows.

The prince is really strange today, not only to print and distribute martial arts cheats, but also to ask about the cost of printing books.

But since he asked, he didn't dare to deceive, and immediately said:

"Depending on the number of pages and words in the book, as well as the amount of paper, the cost varies depending on the number of publications. ”

"There are 16 pages and tens of thousands of words in this work, and if you use good paper and print 50 copies, the cost will be about the same. ”

"This includes wages, paper money, ink money, and all kinds of miscellaneous consumption. ”

"Fifty volumes?" Guo Fan shook his head:

"If you use poor paper and print 50,000 copies, what is the cost of this Qi Gathering and Nourishing Yuan Gong?"

"This ......" Zhao Liu was stunned and couldn't help but say:

"Lord Wang, even if it's a former ...... When the examiners of the previous dynasty were prevalent, the manuscripts of those famous masters in the capital could only sell a few thousand copies. ”

"50,000 copies, it's impossible to sell them at all!"

What is the total population of Anle County?

There were statistics in the previous dynasty, and at most there were only more than 100,000 people.

Nowadays, although the number of displaced people has increased several times, it is impossible to sell 50,000 copies.

Is it difficult to buy it for everyone?

"You don't have to worry about that. Guo Fan leaned forward slightly in the soft chair and said:

"Just say, how much is the cost?"

Although his face was indifferent and his tone was calm, it was no different from before, but Zhao Liu suddenly felt cold all over his body.

His face turned even pale, and he hurriedly replied:

"Back to the prince, if you use inferior paper, light ink, and finalized manuscripts, and print 50,000 copies, the cost should not exceed 30 wen!"

"But ......"

"Then sell thirty wen!" Guo Fan raised his hand and said:

"If you buy two copies together, the price is fifty yuan, and there is no need to discuss this matter, you go down and order!"

"......" Zhao Liu opened his mouth, looking puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey, bowed, and said:

Then the villain went down and commanded. ”

"Hmm. Guo Fan nodded, and his eyes flashed again:

"Wait a minute!"

"Lord Wang, please command. Zhao Liu stopped.

Add a paragraph at the end of the booklet. Guo Fan said lightly:

"Those who have cultivated this skill to the point of refining their bodies can directly join the local army and receive a monthly salary of three taels of silver. ”

"A person who has achieved great physical cultivation will receive a monthly military salary of five taels of silver. ”

"As long as you enlist in the army, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about safety. ”

"......" Zhao Liu raised his head with a blank expression.

After a pause, he nodded yes and retreated.

............

When Zhao Liu said goodbye and left, only Guo Fan and Mu were left in the bookstore room.

Other guards stood guard outside.

"Lord Wang. ”

Steward Mu looked at Guo Fan with a complicated look in his eyes.

He grew up watching Zhu Dingwu, and since the death of the prince a few years ago, he has been with him.

has a deep understanding of the prince's temperament and temper.

But during this time, he found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through the young man in front of him.

In particular, what has been done recently is even more unpredictable.

It's just that for the prince's approach, he felt that he needed to remind him, so as not to regret the big mistake in the future, and said slowly at the moment:

Weichen felt that the expansion of the army and the printing of books might cause dissatisfaction among the prefecture and the new dynasty. ”

"I'm afraid it's not right. ”

"What's wrong?" Guo Fan got up and stood with his hands in his hands:

"The matter of expanding the army has already been agreed to, and the martial arts that are distributed have also been approved by several generals, and there is no problem at all. ”

"But......" Steward Mu hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"The prince's move will arouse the vigilance of the underworld and the new dynasty, which is tantamount to walking on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss. ”

"I'm afraid of ...... if it's so risky"

"Dangerous?" Guo Fan shook his head:

"The steward has been thinking too much, and everything this king has done is approved by the underworld and the new dynasty, and there is nothing to transgress. ”

"What's the risk?"

It's no wonder that Steward Mu can't understand it, and the string in his heart is always raised high.

Guo Fan's martial arts were born in the suicide scene, and most of them were the methods of putting them to death and then rejuvenating, and they were also the best at fighting that glimmer of life in thrilling places.

In terms of work style, he likes to take risks and always get stuck in the limits of others.

Of course, but this is the opinion of others.

In Guo Fan's own opinion, every step he took was very smooth, although he was in the knife thicket, he could not hurt a bit, it seemed to be thrilling, but in fact, he was confident.

This is the first daring, the courage, and the last is the strategy.

Stratagem is not what he is good at.

"Lord Wang. ”

Mu steward has to persuade again.

"Needless to say. Guo Fan waved his hand and interrupted him:

"This king knows what he is doing, and he knows what the consequences will be, if someone from the underworld asks him, he will say it bluntly, and he can't say it again. ”

"Can they still ......?"

Before the words fell, he turned around abruptly, opened his eyes, looked directly at the window sash behind him, and let it go unexpectedly.

In the mouth, it is even lower:

"Who?"

His voice was dull, and it instantly spread everywhere, but no one around responded to the strange thing.

Even Steward Mu seemed to be unresponsive and unmoved.

"Interesting. "The cold, snake-like neighing sound sounded, and it made people feel tired.

As the sound drifted into his ears, Guo Fan even felt a poisonous snake crawling over his body.

On the skin, a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared.

"The cultivation is not high, but you can feel the existence of the old man, you little guy is hiding very deeply!"

The voice sounded again, accompanied by a cold sword light that killed to the extreme.

The sword light came like the nine deep abysses, and with just one stab, it made people sink into it.

"Hmph!" Guo Fan snorted coldly.

The sound was not loud, but it instantly shattered the suppression of the incoming thoughts, and with a big hand, he flicked it and went forward.

Cover the Heavens!

This is the mastery that Zhu Dingwu relied on to become famous, and it is also the martial art of the Zhu family second only to the Tyrannosaurus Fist, which is known as earth-shaking.

Compared with the earth-shaking thirty-six ways that Guo Fan once practiced, it is much stronger.

This is to be exerted in his hands, and the power of this palm is even more terrifying, and when the big hand is stretched, it is like the heaven and the earth are overturned, and the master of the universe seems to cover everything.

A simple press, but it contains countless exquisite martial arts, and many changes are integrated, locking the cold sword light to death.

It was like nailing the seven inches of a poisonous snake, and the sword light changed and was actually stopped by his palm.

"Good palm!" The sound of surprise sounded, and the sword light that should have lost its vitality suddenly trembled.

The sword light suddenly rose up, and the impossible became possible, piercing through the heavy palm strength, and stabbing directly into Guo Fan's palm.

"Ancestral master!" Guo Fan's eyes shrank, and his heart was surging with murderous intent.

At the same time, with a grip of five fingers, an extremely domineering fist intent suddenly appeared, like a landslide.

Tyrant!

After seeing Liu Zhen's Supreme Tyrant Fist and the Nameless Fist of the Three Absolute Demon Lords, after this period of tempering, his fist intent became more and more pure.

The punch came out, and the surrounding void seemed to tremble.

"Tyrannosaurus Fist?" The voice of surprise sounded again, obviously misunderstanding something:

"How is it possible? This method can only be practiced by the Zhu family's line of inheritance to the throne. ”

"Boy, where did you learn that?"

In the screams, the sword light and fist blades also collided and staggered with each other, and the two fought dozens of times in an instant.

Guo Fan didn't say a word, his hands or fingers, palms, fists, or various blades, and so on.

All kinds of miraculous techniques were integrated in his palm, turning into seemingly simple, but contained terrifying might.

Even if you are a master of gangqi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the three moves and two styles, and it will be unsupportable.

And his opponent is no less weak.

With an unknown cold swordsmanship, Shengsheng stopped the fist, and even counterattacked from time to time, making it difficult for Guo Fan to make contributions.

"Humph!"

After a long battle, Guo Fan's eyes shrank, his eyes turned black, and his body was surging with murderous intent.

"Kill!"

A low shout caused the void to tremble, and his fist tightened, and various killing moves blasted out towards his opponent one after another.

The void of a few feet of land is almost completely boiling.

But he has already used a killing punch!

"Good boy. The person who came exclaimed, the sword style changed again, the sword light pointed to, and the power of heaven and earth was combined.

It seems that at this moment, it is no longer one person who is fighting with Guo Fan, but the whole world.

Heaven and man are one!

Some innate masters can do it.

But if you want to use the power of heaven and earth when fighting with people, even Gang Qi is extremely rare.

Even if you can, you need to come somewhere in advance, so that your breath can sympathize with heaven and earth until you merge with each other.

As for being able to induce the power of heaven and earth anytime and anywhere, and bless it in his own swordsmanship......

Even if you are a master of ancestral skills, I am afraid that there are very few!

However, the killing moves of some exercises can do this, but they are also extremely restrictive.

Guo Fan's eyebrows jumped, and the mirror of the sea of consciousness rotated, reflecting all the changes in the breath of the outside world.

Then with a wave of his hand, a flash of sword light appeared.

The sword light was as soft as water, but it was covered with a layer of flames, and with just a slight flicker, it stopped in front of the sword light.

At the same time, he flicked his five fingers sharply, and all fingerings were like machine gun sprays, sweeping more than a thousand records in an instant.

"Broken!"

Someone came to drink low.

Immediately, the sword light in the field soared, annihilating the sword light in one fell swoop, and it was even more sweeping away the incoming fingers.

At the same time, he laughed, clasped his fingers, and grabbed Guo Fan:

"Boy, you've lost!"

"The seniors are invincible, and the juniors are indeed not opponents. Guo Fan did not dodge or dodge, he arched his hand towards the comer, and his face was even more relaxed.

"No more nonsense. The voice of the comer sank, and he grabbed him out of the house in an instant, and fled high into the sky:

"Come with me!"

Guo Fan was not in a hurry, and said: "The seniors have something to do, and let people pass on the news, why do you have to run this trip in person?"

"Hmph!" the person snorted coldly:

"If I hadn't come here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that you kid was hiding so deeply?"

"At a young age, he has already integrated hundreds of schools, and he has a great understanding, and the old man ......"

"I'm ashamed!"

"The seniors have won the prize. Guo Fan arched his hand.

At first, he didn't know who it was, but after a while, even if the other party hid deep enough, there were still some clues under the mirror.

Thousands of machines, Ling is not false!

Tongxuan master, Ling Ruowei's father, the cave master of Qianji Cave, and the master of inheritance in a hidden place, also has some relationship with the underworld.

It seems that Ling Ruowei still recruited this one after all, so I don't know if she told him everything.

Or.

Believe it or not?

Kneel down and beg for subscriptions, collections, monthly passes, recommendations, rewards, and book lists......

If you have written a book, ask for a chapter to push...
