Chapter 382: Times Change
When Jiang Yu woke up, it was already late at night. In the quiet room, Jiang Yu could hear a slight sound of breathing. He turned his eyes and saw that the two sisters Su Yu'er and Mei'er were guarding his bedside. Mei'er lay on the edge of the bed, already asleep. And Su Yu'er was sitting there, sparkling in the autumn waves, looking at herself.
"Husband, you're awake. Su Yu'er stroked her chest, as if a big stone in her heart had landed. Seeing this, Jiang Yu smiled and said, "You are so proficient in medical Taoism, you should know that I am just tired." ”
"Yu'er is worried about you. Su Yu'er said softly. Seeing her cute appearance, Jiang Yu couldn't help but touch Su Yu'er's cheek. At the same time, he looked sideways at Mei'er and said to Su Yu'er: "Mei'er will catch a cold if she sleeps like this." Carry her up. ”
"Hmm" Su Yu'er heard this, picked up Mei'er and put her on the bed. Since that time in Yunwu Wonderland, it has been a common thing for Su Yu'er and Mei'er to serve Jiang Yu together. Yu'er is also used to it. After putting Mei'er away, Yu'er naturally lay on the other side of Jiang Yu. And Jiang Yu also hugged her.
"Yu'er, how is it in the city" Jiang Yu asked while stroking Yu'er's green silk.
"There are Chief Liang and Deacon Zuo, they have all settled down, and the husband can rest assured. Su Yu'er's voice was gentle and soft, and it made people feel at ease and comfortable when they listened to it.
"Hmm" Jiang Yu nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the Qin Demon senior?"
"The senior lived in Xingyunyi, and said that when you woke up, I would let you go to see him. ”
Jiang Yu smiled when he heard this. Su Yu'er saw Jiang Yu's inexplicable smile, so she asked, "What's wrong with the husband's smile?"
Jiang Yu said: "Actually, where does the Qin Demon senior want to see me, he is just helping me." I am alone in the lonely city. He was afraid that after I fainted, other people would sell the city, and with him in charge, even those who had a heart would not dare to act rashly. ”
"The predecessors of the piano demon are affectionate and righteous, and I don't know what to do with the girl who plays the piano. Su Yu'er said a little puzzled.
"It's just a sentimental word. Jiang Yu said with a smile.
"Love word" Su Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and then said with a playful smile: "If Fujun dares not want me in the future, I will be like that girl, chasing and killing you everywhere." ”
"Silly girl, how could it be. Jiang Yu couldn't help but hug Su Yu'er a little tighter, and then kissed Su Yu'er's ear. Su Yu'er lowered her head shyly.
At this moment, a pair of hands stretched out from behind Jiang Yu and hugged Jiang Yu and Su Yu'er at once.
Mei'er woke up In fact, when Su Yu'er carried her to bed, she woke up, but she kept pretending to be asleep and eavesdropping on what the two of them said.
Seeing that Mei'er woke up, Jiang Yu wrapped her hand around her, and she hugged Mei'er tightly, which was different from the way she hugged Su Yu'er, Jiang Yu hugged Mei'er in a restrained way, that is, Mei'er couldn't move.
"Sister, he bullied me again, come and save me" Mei'er begged for mercy, but Su Yu'er just smiled and didn't help. The three of them played around for a while. before settling down.
"Brother, how did you win during the day, I didn't understand. Mei'er, who was lying in the crook of Jiang Yu's arm, looked up at Jiang Yu and asked.
Su Yu'er looked at Mei'er, and then looked back at Yu'er, and Yu'er also nodded, because Yu'er didn't understand either.
Jiang Yu sorted out his thoughts and said: "He and I fought with the sword, each of them conjured dozens of people to go out, and fight together, I won three hundred and seventy-one times, and he also won three hundred and seventy-one times." ”
"Isn't that a tie, how can you say that you won," Yu'er was stunned when she heard this, and asked.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Because his tricks have been exhausted." Dozens of people are in the sky to dismantle, and the moves used before and after, together, there are already tens of thousands. I have used all his moves, and I have seen all the changes in his sword skills, but mine, he has not seen them all. All kinds of changes in his sword skills are expected by me, and if he continues to fight, he will not be able to win once. Even if I fight a thousand more times, then I will win 1,371 times, and he will win 371 times. ”
"I see. Yu'er Mei'er was all surprised. Jiang Yu smiled lightly and said, "Actually, he is still very powerful. If you are a mediocre player, you will only admit defeat when you lose in a mess. And he didn't. He knew how strong my sword skills were, and he knew I couldn't make mistakes, so he stopped, and I knew he was going to throw in the towel. ”
After Jiang Yu and the second daughter chatted for a while, they hugged each other and fell asleep, but they didn't say anything at night. The next day, Jiang Yu went to look for the Qin Demon, and sure enough, as he thought, the Qin Demon had already left.
Although he talked about the peace talks, Jiang Yu did not dare to relax his vigilance. All those who defend the city must still perform their duties and be ready for battle. Soon, when it came to the time agreed with the Buxiu Palace, Jiang Yu, on behalf of Muyun City, together with the master of the Ten Stars who came to negotiate peace, swore a blood oath, negotiated peace, and never violated the oath.
In the peace agreement, within 500 miles around Muyun City, all the land belongs to Muyun City. Ten Stars shall not blockade the foreign ocean of Muyun City, nor shall it levy taxes on ships belonging to Muyun City, and so on, so as to announce a series of agreements to the world.
Of course, this is all an agreement on paper, and there is an unknown agreement in private, that is, the business between Jiang Yu and Shixingfan should still be done as usual. The price was raised to two hundred spirit stone coins, but the corresponding condition was that Jiang Yu could not increase the price again.
As soon as this proposal and agreement came out, the happiest people were none other than the people of Muyun City. Because a catastrophe was averted. And in order to celebrate the peace, Jiang Yu decided to exempt the entire Muyun City from tax for one year. For Jiang Yu, there are ten stars to give money, and he is not short of these money. And the purpose of his tax exemption is not just to celebrate. Now the entire wasteland is shrouded in war, and the merchants of other cities hate and fear Shixingfan, and they don't know where to go. The implementation of tax exemption on your side will definitely attract a large number of business travelers to Muyun City, and in that case, the taxes that can be levied in the future will be more than now.
Muyun City broke away from the Shenwu Sect and became independent, this news is not an explosion news, because in the war, this kind of thing to protect oneself and break off the relationship with the Zong family can be regarded as a frequent occurrence. What really shook the world was that Jiang Yu defeated Yue Wuren and withstood the attack of Shixingfan and Buxiu Palace with his own strength. If Jiang Yu defeated Wei Jianxing in the past, it was just a rumor that no one saw and few people believed. And now that Jiang Yu has won Yue Ren, it is the common witness of countless people. This battle made everyone in Bazhou and Jiudao know that there is a very powerful young man in Huangzhou, a strong man who can defeat no one who does not repair the palace and protects the Fayue
After this battle, although there were not many deaths in Muyun City, it still experienced the war. Jiang Yu gave pensions to those who died in battle, and Jiang Yu also paid those workers who could not go to mining because of the ten stars. Jiang Yu didn't spend much money, but he gained a lot of people's hearts in Muyun City. Many residents of Muyun City were all convinced by Jiang Yu.
The people of Muyun City got a good city lord that they couldn't meet for thousands of years, while other cities in Wasteland didn't have such good luck. After the Ten Stars and Muyun City negotiated peace, in essence, in the entire Wasteland, there was no strength to compete with the Ten Stars, and even if there were remnants of the Five Clouds Dao and the Three Kings Courtyard, they could only hide underground like the original Ten Stars, waiting for the counterattack of the Shenwu Sect.
After Shixingfan ended the battle in Huangzhou, he began to do three things, the first thing, Shixingfan founded the country, and the capital Yanxing was established, which was the original Black Salt City. Because among the cities, only Black Salt City has suffered relatively little damage. The country was named Dayan. The name of Yan is the name of an ancient country above the wasteland a long, long time ago, and Shixingfan uses this as the name, which naturally has the meaning of chasing far. Lord Shi Fan was crowned as the king of the Great Yan Kingdom by the emperor of Qu State, also known as the king of Huangzhou.
The second thing is to prepare people and horses, preparing to participate in the war between the Qu State and the Jin State, after all, this is the backyard of the Jin State, if there is a force in this direction that can pose a threat to the Jin State, it can greatly reduce the pressure on the Changsheng Yuan and the Buxiu Palace. Although the strength of the Ten Stars is not worth mentioning at all in front of the powerful Jin Kingdom. Because of the experience gained from the unification of the Wasteland, Shixingfan exchanged all the spirit stone coins he earned in the Immortal Valley for the spirit stone and spirit grass, or simply exchanged the Immortal Valley and other sects for demon beasts as combat power. They make a lot of money in Immortal Valley, but no matter how much money they have, they can't stand up to such a use. Shixingfan began to target the ordinary people in the wasteland, and the heavy taxes were heavy, much stricter than when the Divine Martial Sect was there. The displacement of people and the starvation of the land are a hundred times more terrible than any natural disaster. The tyranny of the Ten Stars, in a sense, has cheapened Jiang Yu. Almost every day, a large number of businessmen come to Jiangyu's territory, and there are countless refugees. Later, after Shixingban realized that there were too many people lost in this way, he strengthened border control, although it curbed the flight of a large number of people, but there were still many fish that slipped through the net every day and escaped from Shixingban's rule.
At first, Jiang Yu was able to settle these people, but later there were too many people, and Jiang Yu also felt that his territory was a little too small. I simply put forward the idea of buying a piece of land with Shixingfan, thinking that Shixingfan should not accept it, but I didn't expect Shixingfan, who was short of money, to agree, and sold the large piece of land north of Muyun City, which they thought was useless land, to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu made his territory three times larger for no reason. And these places that seem to be wasteland, Jiang Yu asked his subordinates to lead those refugees to pioneer and build, and everything is in order.
If the second thing is just that the ten stars are messing around, then the third thing is that the ten stars are dying by themselves. Ten stars turned over overnight, and many people, including those with lofty ideals at the beginning, changed their minds. And because of this change, there was already a contradiction within Shixingfan, which was expanded and intensified. Eventually, it triggered a large-scale purge within the Ten Stars. Many people died as a result of this purge. Yuan Ping and Shen Xi, whom Jiang Yu knew, were not spared. Both were ridiculously charged. They are all collaborators, and this so-called enemy is not only Jiang Yu, but also Shenwu Sect. Because there were many transactions between Yuan Ping and Shen Xi and Shenwu Sect back then. This so-called deal includes compromising with the Shenwu Sect and using money to buy back the people who were arrested, because of these things, they were impeached, and then arrested and killed. Similar to them, there are many, many people who have been killed, most of these people are the elders of the Ten Star Fan, those who once sacrificed their lives and dreamed that with their own hands, they could change their own destiny, and they could change the fate of the almost cursed continent of Huangzhou. Because of their uprightness, because they will not compromise. And the rest of the people who are ten stars are all a group of sycophants, such as Ouyang Lin, under such a big storm, his special identity, not only was not killed, but he also became a celebrity in front of the master of Shi Fan.
After knowing that Yuan Ping and Shen Xi were killed, Jiang Yu stood on the city tower and looked south for a long time, sighing. In the end, he just silently said to himself: "An era is over." ”
Since the beginning of the peace with Jiang Yu, in less than a month, Shixingfan has almost done almost all the bad things that the Shenwu Sect had not done in the past. The people of the wasteland are full of grievances. And in the entire barren state, the only peaceful place is probably Jiangyu's Muyun City. The people of Muyun City had suggested that Jiang Yu should proclaim himself king, but Jiang Yu did not take this suggestion. He still just asked his subordinates to call him the city lord.
In the past month, except for the thunderous exercises, Jiang Yu has spent most of the rest of his time dealing with various government affairs in Muyun City. There are more and more people in Muyun City, and it must be expanded, and there are many things to expand.
On this day, Jiang Yu, who was wearing a hat, was wandering on the street. Jiang Yu doesn't like the way he goes out, but if he goes out by himself, almost all the people in the city know him, and wherever he goes, he is surrounded by crowds, which is very troublesome. So Jiang Yu could only choose to go out like this.
Since Jiang Yu took charge of Muyun City, the security of Muyun City has been much better than before. The streets are full of businessmen, speaking different accents and selling all sorts of things. It seems that most of them are not local to Muyun City. Many of them have come all the way here to make a living. For these foreign merchants, Jiang Yu also has a set of preferential policies, that is, the first year they come, they are tax-free.
Jiang Yu stopped and stopped, after looking at it for a while, he felt a little thirsty, and it happened that there was a teahouse in front of him, Jiang Yu walked in, just sat down, and was about to drink tea, but found that not far away, there was an acquaintance sitting
Qin Demon Wei is not lonely
Jiang Yu saw that Qin Demon was here, so he directly leaned over, sat opposite Wei Wuxian, and said, "Senior, let's meet again." What a coincidence. ”
Just listening to the voice, Wei Wushan knew that Jiang Yu was sitting opposite, so he couldn't help but chuckle lightly and said, "I don't think it's necessarily a coincidence, above this barren state, there are beacons everywhere, and you are the only one here who is a peaceful place." ”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "The seniors praised it falsely, and I haven't thanked the seniors for helping me last time." ”
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Look at what you have done now, little brother, it proves that the old man did not do anything wrong that day." Hey, pity me for the ability I learned, and only this time to help you, it is really meritorious to the common people. I'm so ashamed compared to you, little brother. ”
Listening to Qin Mo praising himself, Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "Senior, you should know, my ambition is not here, for me, the pursuit of supreme sword skills is my goal." ”
When Qin Mo heard this, he smiled and said: "This is your preciousness, you have no intention of hegemony, but you have no intention of saving countless people." ”
Jiang Yu laughed when he heard this, and said, "If the seniors praise me again, I won't be able to sit still." ”
Qin Mo looked at Jiang Yu and said: "In fact, cultivators are all for self-protection at the beginning, and after being able to protect themselves, all they can do is to protect the important people around them, and when their ability is higher, they must protect the common people, this is martial arts." ”
Jiang Yu listened to Qin Demon's words, nodded, and said, "My master also has similar words, he told me that the sword in my hand should be waved for the common people in the world." I always felt that I was too lazy to live up to his expectations. ”
Qin Demon chuckled when he heard this, and said, "Little brother, you have done a good job. ”
Jiang Yu and Qin Mo drank tea and talked about it, from the general trend of the world to the martial arts, and had a good chat.
"Senior here, is it still that Su'e girl" When he was expected to be happy, Jiang Yu suddenly asked Qin Modao.
Hearing this, Qin Mo sighed, then nodded, and said, "She refused to forgive me after all, even if she asked her to kill me, she would not either." ”
Jiang Yu looked at Qin Demon and said, "The past of the seniors, as a junior, should not be explored, but I still want to know, maybe, I can help." ”
Qin Demon heard Jiang Yu say this, and said, "Do you know why I am called Qin Demon?"
Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "It's because the predecessors once killed the life alone" For Wei Wuxi, Jiang Yu still knew about it in advance. For those things that most people know about Wei Wuxi's past, Jiang Yu is probably clear.
Wei Wuxian nodded, and then talked about the old things one by one.
It turned out that Wei Wuxian had an enemy in the past year, and in order to take revenge, Wei Wuxian in his youth searched for famous teachers and learned various skills. Later, after getting the Book of Heaven by chance, learning the monstrous Nine Laws, and learning the divine skills, Wei Wuxian killed Sheshengtian alone, although he took revenge, but the demonic nature of the monstrous Nine Laws also made Wei Wuxian confused, and finally washed Sheshengtian in blood. And from then on, Wei Wuxian no longer used the exercises of the monstrous Nine Laws. And a few years later, Wei Wuxian accepted a little girl as an apprentice, and that little girl was extremely talented and very hardworking, so soon Wei Wuxian taught her almost all the skills he knew. This girl is Su'e. Su E was actually a survivor of the difficulty of sacrificing her life, and came to Wei Wuxian to learn the arts, just to kill Wei Wuxian in the end. Although she learned a lot of skills from Wei Wuxi, Su'e still felt that her skills were not enough to deal with Wei Wuxi, so she secretly learned the monstrous nine laws that Wei Wuxian treasured. Because of his own experience, Wei Wuxian forbade Su'e to learn the monstrous Nine Laws, but Su'e was willing to listen, and after several warnings failed, Wei Wuxian had no choice but to kill the killer and discard Su'e's hands. And because of this incident, Su'e left Wei Wuxi, and it wasn't until Su'e left that Wei Wuxian knew that Su'e was a survivor of the sacrifice of life. Originally, he had a sense of guilt about sacrificing his life, but because of his feelings, the guilt was even deeper.
"Then Miss Su'e, how did you become blind" Jiang Yu asked curiously when he heard this. Wei Wuxian shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe I have encountered some misfortune. Alas, if I knew that he had come to seek revenge on me, why should I take away her hands and let her kill me? ”
After hearing this, Jiang Yu thought about it and said to Wei Wuxi: "Senior, if I have a way to cure Miss Su'e, what do you think?"
Listening to Jiang Yu's words, Wei Wushan was stunned, the tea cup in his hand also fell, and the tea spilled on the ground.
