Chapter 52: Seeking the Divine Throne and Leaving Yanchuan
Chen Jingzhi immediately understood Chen Junhe's intentions, he wanted to replace him. It's just that Chen Junhe's strength alone is not enough to shake the river god, so he needs the help of a person like him who has strength and a great future.
But Chen Junhe must have overlooked one point, the god position cannot last long without the power behind it, especially at this time. The Song Kingdom has been established for a long time, but there are indeed many empty gods who have been cut down and broken temples, but for hundreds of years, these gods have been occupied, but the number of cultivators in the Song Kingdom has not decreased, and there are all kinds of people who were prominent in life and won the title after death, and the national fortune of the Song Dynasty will be constantly weakened.
In this case, Song Guo will only continue to cut out some hair gods, vacate places for others, and even crush and destroy the gods with great powers. The reason why the river god of Yandong River was able to sit firmly on the throne and not be weakened by the Song State was because there was a force behind it.
On the other hand, Chen Junhe is now just a god assistant under the Divine Sect of Bailong Mountain, and he must replace a batch every three Jiazi, but in fact, he has no energy. Just the current identity is to seek the position of the river god, and it is a little self-sufficient to say that it sounds good. However, Chen Jingzhi did not completely deny it, it is man-made, and it may not be possible to do it now, but it is difficult to say in the future.
He pretended to be contemplative on his face, and said firmly, "If you have the ability in the future, you must seek revenge on the Yandong River God." ”
Chen Li was overjoyed when he heard this, Chen Junhe made it clear to him when he came, if Chen Jingzhi agreed, then he must not have a deep friendship, but if he said that he would plan in the future, it would be worth investing for him. And Chen Junhe said with some certainty that Chen Jingzhi would be very conservative in putting forward ideas. Chen Jingdi's answer perfectly confirmed Chen Junhe's words, and Chen Li was even more convinced.
"Third brother, this matter is not in a hurry, that evil god dares to hurt our Chen clan, he must not be let go, as long as the third brother wants to go to this evil god for revenge in the future, I will definitely do my best to help the third brother." ”
Chen Jingzhi said gratefully, "I remember everything that the virtuous brother said. ”
Chen Li was happy in his heart, and sat down for a short time before leaving, and before leaving, Chen Jingzhi took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to him.
Chen Li hurriedly refused, "Third brother, what are you doing?"
Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "This is my eldest brother to help you practice, I heard that the palace wants to practice further, I don't know how many treasures and elixirs are needed, these things are to be exchanged for gold, silver, and spirit beads, and you accept these virtuous brothers." ”
Chen Li sighed, cultivating in the Dao Palace is extremely costly, and a walking position like him in the Dao Palace only costs five to ten taels of silver per month, but the expenses have to be dozens of taels every month, so those who can enter the Dao Palace to cultivate are all small families, otherwise it is impossible to achieve cultivation.
It is also Chen Li's family with a lot of wealth, which can barely support it. However, there are few people who are really for the monthly money of the Dao Palace, all for an opportunity to become a god.
"Brother Xian, you can't refuse, this is a gift from me as an elder brother, and you and I will complement each other in the future, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Chen Li smiled and said briskly, "Okay, then the little brother will accept it first, if the brother has something, just come to Bailong Mountain to find me." After speaking, he arched his hand and turned over on his horse.
It took a few more days for Chen Jingzhi to arrange everything, and laid a mana-drawn talisman around the house to expel the ghosts and gods. also left a lot of pills for Chen Chiying, and told him to go to Huanghe every ten days to see if Ye Qingzhu was back, and if he came back, he would give her half of the pills.
At the same time, Chen Jingzhi left half of the gold and silver, to say nearly a thousand taels, which is really a huge amount of money.
In late April, the weather had begun to get a little hot, and Yang Tingqing and Chen Jingzhi made an appointment. Yang Tingqing handed Chen Jingzhi the document issued by the county seat, without this document, if he left Yanchuan County and went to other counties, he would definitely be arrested by other counties and put in prison. This document is not available to anyone, but there must be a guarantor. Chen Jingzhi borrowed Yang Tingqing's hand and took this document, at least he would not be denied entry to the city when he went everywhere in the future.
Lin Mansion, Lin Bingchang sighed at Lin Yuniang, "I also thought carefully that day, if I directly recruit Yang Tingqing and then marry you to him, it will definitely be a good story, and it will not be as ugly as today." ”
Lin Yuniang persuaded, "Grandfather, you are deliberately tempting for the sake of your granddaughter's lifelong happiness, how can we predict what will happen next?"
Lin Bingchang smiled bitterly, he wanted to set up some obstacles for no reason at that time, but now it's really ridiculous to think about it, "Your uncle and uncle have been reprimanded for calling students to hold a banquet this time, and I feel uneasy." ”
"The tides have ups and downs, the lunar months have ups and downs, and grandfathers don't have to take it to heart. Lin Yuniang said comfortingly, "My granddaughter has something to say to my grandfather, I intend to go to Miyang County, and I implore my grandfather to arrange it for me." ”
Lin Bingchang immediately knew Lin Yuniang's thoughts, Yang Tingqing would definitely go to Miyang County, and he would not miss this year's county exam no matter what. And Lin Yuniang must have wanted to use this time to get close to Yang Tingqing in order to fulfill her promise. In fact, this is what Lin Bingchang wants to see, but it is very unpleasant to see Lin Yuniang so sensible, but this matter must be done, for the sake of the family, Lin Yuniang has no choice.
"Yang Tingqing is really stubborn, fortunately, he didn't spread the word that I recruited my grandson-in-law that day, otherwise people would laugh at you. Lin Bingchang slapped the desk angrily, becoming more and more annoyed with Yang Tingqing, and other people were only tempted to face such a beautiful woman, who was both talented and beautiful, and had no reason to refuse.
Grandfather was angry. ”
Lin Bingchang said with some distress, "When do you want to leave, I will arrange it immediately." ”
"Tomorrow, then. Lin Yuniang did not hesitate, she had already inquired about Yang Tingqing's travel days, if she could go with the boat, of course she could increase her chances, and Lin Yuniang knew that official eunuchs like them would definitely marry others, since Yang Tingqing's talent and appearance were all superior, it was naturally the first choice.
Lin Bingchang was a little surprised, but this granddaughter looked quiet and elegant, and she was actually very assertive, I am afraid that she had already inquired about the arrangements, and he immediately asked someone to arrange the carriage maid and others.
"Grandfather doesn't have to be so troublesome, I just take Yingluo with me, that might be a bit ostentatious. "Lin Yuniang is everyone's best girl, in fact, she wanted to go on the road alone, but after all, it was the first time to bring someone to talk.
"No, what can Yingluo's fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl do? Your safety is the most important thing. Lin Bingchang knew that this granddaughter also had martial arts and mana, but after all, she was young and had no experience of going out, "I asked Lin Zhiquan to go with you, he is an old man, and let Honggu go with her, she also has some skills, and she can always help you." I will arrange for someone to find a place to live first, so that there will be no headless flies when the time comes. ”
Lin Bingchang arranged it all of a sudden, Lin Yuniang had no reason to refuse, she had someone to serve her since she was a child, and she felt that it was okay to have more people.
The next day, Chen Jingzhi and Yang Tingqing packed their bags and went to the riverside wharf to take a boat together. Yang Tingqing only felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and his heart was extremely comfortable, and it was the first time for him to go out.
Yang Tingqing said with a smile, "Brother Chen, let's go to Guangcheng Mansion to exchange for documents first, and then we can go to Miyang County again." Brother Chen has been there before?"
"When I was young, I used to walk around with my tutor, but I didn't go to Guangcheng Mansion. ”
Yang Tingqing nodded, this is also normal, the government does not like rangers to wander around, what the government needs is for the population to live and work in peace and contentment, farming and sowing, and will not issue documents to rangers, and even the management of them is more strict. The two of them watched the river rise and fall by the river, and a dark cloud slowly drifted over in the sky, looking like it was about to rain.
After a while, a carriage slowly came over, and Chen Jingzhi couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, "Brother Yang, is the Lin Mansion here to see you off?"
"Brother Chen, don't make such jokes. Yang Tingqing waved his hand again and again, and saw the carriage coming this way clearly, his face was a little stiff, and he said, "Brother Chen, why don't we follow the merchant's convoy through Pingchuan County first, and then go to Guangcheng Mansion?"
Chen Jingzhi teased, "Brother Yang didn't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of meeting with the people of the Lin Mansion?"
Yang Tingqing's face was crimson, and he felt hot, and he puffed up his chest as he spoke, "What Brother Chen said is extremely true, but I am not right in my heart. ”
Chen Jingzhi knew that he couldn't joke, so he laughed and said, "It's also a good thing to follow the convoy of merchants, the so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, Brother Yang still has to walk." ”
Yang Tingqing smiled awkwardly, but saw a maid in the car helping a woman wearing a hat to walk down and go to the boat. He immediately grabbed Chen Jing's way, "Brother Chen, why don't we go and find the convoy now?"
Chen Jingzhi knew that he was thin-skinned, and he must have hurt the self-esteem of the daughter of the Lin Mansion by refusing the purpose of recruiting him as his grandson-in-law, and he didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he would rather trouble himself.
"Let's go, then. Chen Jingzhi stretched out his voice and smiled, "The convoy is going to sleep in the open air, Brother Yang, we have to buy a small tent." Yang Tingqing's face was hot, and he couldn't stop nodding. The two of them left the dock quickly.
"Girl, Yang Gongzi doesn't seem to be on the boat anymore. Lin Yuniang's personal maid was suddenly very nervous and shouted.
Lin Yuniang's face was full of resentment, but now that outsiders can't see it while wearing a hat, she tried her best to pretend to be calm, biting her lip and saying, "We're going to Miyang County, and other things don't matter." ”
"Oops. The little maid stomped her feet fiercely, snorted a few times, and said in her heart, "Our girl is all over the country and the city, I don't know how many princes and grandsons want to marry, but Yang Tingqing is far away, and he really doesn't know how to lift." However, she forgot that although Lin Yuniang is outstanding, her background is flawed, even if the prince and grandson nobles ask to marry, they can only be a side room, and if they want to be a wife, they can only be petty officials.
