Chapter 8: The Imperial Capital
At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Li came out of the house and saw six people standing at the door of his room with excitement in circles.
Jiang Li was a little confused, rubbed his messy hair, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Boss, you're awake, we're ready. Xu Damao patted his chest and shook the steel knife in his hand twice.
"Ready, why are you going?"
"Robbery, boss. Xu Damao said excitedly.
With that excited face, he was bound to kill the Quartet and expand his territory, and Jiang Li's scalp was numb when he saw it.
"It's a beautiful world, you can't be so grumpy. Jiang Li said earnestly: "What does it look like to fight and kill." Everyone is an adult, and no matter how awesome this underworld is, it won't see the light. Look at the world from the perspective of development. ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Damao scratched his head and said.
This means that the society is developing, the times are progressing, transformation is inevitable, and the business must also be expanded. Jiang Li said: "Go to the lobby, let's have a morning meeting." ”
"Morning ...... Will it?" Xu Damao looked at the sky, but also followed behind and walked towards the lobby.
"Come, which of you can tell me about the current situation of the stockade?" Jiang Li asked.
"What can it be, isn't this like this?" Xu Damao said.
"Such a fart. Jiang Li slapped him and said, "You guys, who is going to talk about it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the last man who looked a little weak and called Song Quanzheng spoke: "There are fifteen large and small tile houses in Qingfeng Village, all of which are broken and repaired, with a population of six people, less than ten taels of silver, and twenty stones of rice and grain. ”
Speaking of this, Song Quanwei blushed a little, this huge cottage is really ...... Poor jingle.
"Gone?" Jiang Li asked.
"It's gone. Song Quan spoke.
"Okay, don't rob yourself, don't be robbed by others when the time comes. I see that this mountain is not bad, go to the mountain to hunt some pheasants and hares, and the food is enough to eat for a week, first of all, you, bring the ten taels of silver, and we will go into the city. After Jiang Li finished speaking, he patted his ass and walked out.
Liang was the first country to be hit by the culture of cultivating immortals after the Taiyi sect was heavily recruited three years ago. As the national capital, the prosperity of the population is completely incomparable to that of several surrounding countries. Jiang Li took Song Quanpair to stand at the entrance of the city tower, and the long queue was far away, and he also followed the flow and took Song Quanpair to the back of the line, ready to line up to enter the city.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" Song Quan asked after holding back all the way.
"Buy two sets of clothes, and by the way, look at what kind of fairy league. I'm looking to see if there is a way to get money, your broken village can be regarded as occupying a mountain, there are mountains and rivers, and it's not bad to run it well. Jiang Lidao.
Although Jiang Li had already cultivated, his eyes were still black about his qualifications and about the matter of cultivating immortals. Originally, he planned to go to the city to test, and then find a sect that suited him to go to school. But you have to pay the tuition for this school, Jiang Li can be said to be penniless now, and the first thing is to make some money.
In Jiang Li's heart, those so-called sects are one university after another, and what kind of selection is made in this secular world is like junior high and high school, if you are admitted, you will go to college, and if you are not admitted, you will either wait for the next make-up exam, or you will join the work. The quality of the exam determines the quality of the university. An ordinary sect is an ordinary university, and a first-line sect is like 985 or something.
Although Jiang Li is building a foundation now, he is actually taking a wild road, and he doesn't understand many things, and going to school is essential.
After entering the city, both of them were a little confused, but fortunately, there were small vendors selling maps, and the two of them studied it and decided to go to a crowded place first. Jiang Li asked Song Quanzheng to buy some vegetable seeds, planning to reclaim 100 acres of land to grow some grain.
Wandering along the streets, this antique building is rarely well preserved in China, and he also found that the architectural style here is very oriental, and the overall folk customs are also wild.
Jiang Li weighed the silver in his pocket, compared several decorations, and found an inn that looked quite simple and small in scale.
"Shopkeeper, come to two rooms. ”
"Twenty spirit stones a night in a high-class room, ten spirit stones a night in a medium room, and five spirit stones a night in a low-class room," the shopkeeper looked up behind the counter and said.
After seeing his image, he was only stunned for a moment, and then continued: "There is an independent courtyard in the inner courtyard, and there are fifty spirit stones every day. ”
"Spirit Stone...... What is it?" Jiang Li said he was a little unheard.
The shopkeeper was also stunned, but after careful consideration, Jiang Li was about to speak, but was interrupted by a team of people who happened to enter the door.
"Where is it called Hanako, I don't even know the spirit stone, and I still come here to this cyclamen. A mocking word came.
When Jiang Li turned around, he saw four gorgeously dressed young men standing at the door, looking older than Jiang Li, sixteen or seventeen years old. The one who spoke was one of the sons dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be amorous, but his eyes were so stinging that he looked at it.
"Shopkeeper, come to a private room, bring all your good wine and food, and my son will entertain distinguished guests. The man in white tilted his head and said.
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Li and said: "What do you see, this cyclamen is the property of Xianmen, not where you came, why do you really think that cats and dogs can come in?"
Jiang Li felt that this kid was inexplicable, he just asked, and then he jumped out and chattered, and he didn't know who to show his arrogant appearance, so he ignored him and looked at the shopkeeper.
"Hey, didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you get out of here?" the young man saw that Jiang Li was unmoved, closed his folding fan and pointed at him.
Yue Zifeng was annoyed by this attitude of ignorance, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Li.
Jiang Li retreated slightly, and then avoided it.
"Do you still dare to hide?" Yue Zifeng was swept away, and he was about to do it.
"Alright, this is cyclamen. The man in black next to him stopped him and spoke.
"Boy, don't say I didn't warn you, acquaintances, get out of here. "Yuezi wind channel.
"This ...... Childe?, do we know each other?" Jiang Li was really made out of temper, this business and sale, and the trade is not benevolent and righteous, even if he can't get that spirit stone, is it necessary?
"What kind of person is this son, how can he know you called Hanako. Yue Zifeng said arrogantly.
"Then do you live by the sea?" Sure enough, it's still a matter of your own outfit.
"What do you mean?" Yue Zifeng couldn't figure out what the hell he was doing.
"I mean, are you too lenient? What do I do, what do I have to do with you?" Jiang Li spread his hands and ignored him.
Just now he saw it, and Yue Zifeng took out a stone, which was mottled and a little white. He has several boxes of this thing, but he didn't know what it was used for, but he didn't expect it to be money. It seems that he doesn't know a lot of common sense in the world of cultivating immortals, so he should supplement and learn it well, otherwise he doesn't know good things in front of him, shame is secondary, and it will be a sin to lose treasures.
"Oh, shopkeeper, is this it?" Jiang Li was also unsure.
His stones are all pure white, and they look about the same, but I don't know if they are or not.
"Up...... Top-grade spirit stones. The shopkeeper's mouth was open, and he was a little trembling.
He originally adhered to the principle that the customer is God, although this person looks a little indecent, but his momentum is not weak, he may not know which core disciple he is, he still has this eyesight.
"Top-grade spirit stones, how can you have high-grade spirit stones? Say, where did you steal them. Yue Zifeng couldn't believe it.
"Stealing, pay attention to your words and deeds. Jiang Li glanced at Yue Zifeng, thinking that this is a spirit stone, is it still a product? Looking at the shopkeeper, he said, "It's okay." ”
"Yes, yes, a high-grade spirit stone is equal to 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones, childe, you see, where to live and how long to live. "The shopkeeper was very excited, although he said that, no one would really take the spirit stone to exchange.
Jiang Li thought about it, it turned out that he was so rich, so he definitely couldn't wronged himself, so he said: "Let's live first, come to the yard, by the way, put on some delicious food, and then get some hot water." Oh, by the way, shopkeeper, is there a place to sell clothes around here? ”
At the end, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.
The shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, and took Jiang Li and the others to see the courtyard very well, leaving Yue Zifeng and the four of them.
Waiting for Jiang Li to leave, Yue Zifeng quietly looked at a black-clothed man standing behind him, not daring to speak.
"It's interesting, I don't know which family it's a disciple. The man in black raised his eyebrows and played with the taste: "Aren't you eating? Let's go." ”
Jiang Li carefully looked at this courtyard, one main room, two side rooms, and in the middle was a pavilion with tables and chairs. There is a row of green bamboos in the yard, plus a small pond with a few swimming fish in it. Surrounded by a few clusters of flowers, it is elegant.
Song Quanwei is a little stupid, he is twenty-eight years old this year, he has never lived in such a good house, and he is even careful when he walks, afraid of stepping on the flowers and plants on the ground.
"Alright, rest later, you go out and inquire about what has happened in the capital recently. Jiang Li said and took out a worse spirit stone and threw it to him: "Since this thing is money, go and exchange it for some silver taels, you take it, go buy some furniture, buy some food, plant seeds, and by the way, invite a few craftsmen to go back and repair the broken village." ”
"Old ...... Big. Song Quanwei was a little dumbfounded.
"Hurry up, the master still has important things to do. Jiang Li said solemnly.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Li took a hot bath for the first time in three years, and felt that the whole person was alive, and there were flower petals.
After packing up, Jiang went straight to the nearest ready-to-wear store, picked and chosen, and bought ten sets of robes. He didn't want to be called Hanako anymore.
In the past few years, Jiang Li has grown very fast, and after cultivating immortals, his body is more symmetrical, he doesn't have to worry about obesity, and his figure is very good. The purple robe is embroidered with bamboo patterns, because I don't know how to tie my hair, I asked the boss for a few hairbands of various colors, and tied them directly to my hair, and I look a little romantic as I like. After thinking about it, I bought a fan again, and kept it for forced use.
He also ordered a few black staff clothes for Xu Damao and them, and he really planned to make a mountain king and experience the taste of being a boss.
After everything was done, it was getting late, the lights were on, and the street vendors began to come out of their stalls, looking at the endless pedestrians, Jiang Li had a sense of reality for the first time in thirteen years.
Under the lights, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were cold, her head was slightly lowered, she held a sword, and listened to the man next to her with a little impatience. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he looked up at Jiang Li's position.
Bright as a spark, as cool as the moon, when the eyes collided, Jiang Li suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. When he reacted, he could no longer find the shadow of Fang Cai.
Jiang Li looked around and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
At this time, on the other side of the street, the man in white looked at his junior sister helplessly and said: "Senior sister, have you listened to me, Master said, this time Linglong Pavilion actually opened a small auction in the secular world, which shows the power of the secular world, although there are many things we don't look down on, but it doesn't mean that we can not pay attention to it." ”
Since the changes in the secular world three years ago, more and more things that have been covered in dust have begun to be exposed, I heard that some people have inexplicably found at home that the axe that has been used as a chopping wood is actually a spiritual weapon, and the jade pendant handed down by the ancestors actually has the effect of gathering spirits. So each family turned out the objects that they couldn't understand, or passed down, and they really made a lot of good things. At first, they didn't know the value, and they were coaxed into buying it by the monks stationed in various sects, but later they saw more, so that there were fewer and fewer people who missed it. I don't know how to spend money to identify, I keep what I need, and send what I don't need to Linglong Pavilion to exchange for some spirit stones, and the price is fair. Now it has even reached the point where it can be auctioned, although the grade may not be high, but those who can enter the auction house are not bad.
"Senior brother, I'm tired and want to go back to rest. The girl looked up at the man, and her voice was cold and cold.
“......”
After the girl finished speaking, no matter what the man thought, she turned around and walked away by the lights of the ten thousand homes, and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.
