I only heard Lu Chongxi write a poem, the poem said: "Happy Shixi Village, someone has a good relationship, a pair of good spouses, and the audience is amazed." ”

Zhang Feizi looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "I said Lu Rusheng, your poem is not as good as the number that our lord shouted when he went to the toilet!"

Chu Zhongli listened to Lu Chongxi's poem and felt a chill, but he was the lord and couldn't express his emotions casually, so he said: "Hey, don't say that, fatty, you look at other people's poems, and they rhyme." ”

Fang Laohan nodded and said, "It's good, it's good, I can understand what this poem means." ”

That night, the open-air banquet in Shixi Village, the wedding and the celebration banquet were held together, Chu Zhongli and his party were all drunk, and they were going to leave the next day, the villagers tried their best to stay, and stayed for another day, and only began to march on the third day, Fang Laohan was not good at walking, and hired a carriage to carry it.

Walking around like this, he only caught up with the team when he walked near Linjiang City, Chu Zhongli saw that Feng Yi managed the team neatly, and thought to himself that Feng Yi was indeed a talent, such a talent should be used to the best of his ability, why should he always look down on him because he was just a little minion? So he decided to promote him greatly.

After returning to Linjiang City, a few people were added to the seat, Chu Zhongli was the leader, there was nothing to say, and then it was the waning moon, Lu Chongxi sat in the third place, Xu Yuan sat in the fourth place, Zhang Feizi sat in the fifth place, Cai Tai sat in the sixth place, and Feng Yi sat in the seventh place. Chu Zhongli announced at the meeting that Feng Yi would select within fifty brothers he knew well to form an organization responsible for intelligence and diplomacy, Chu Zhongli named it "Eagle Eye", Feng Yi was so reused, he was grateful, and he didn't do things day and night for a long time after that, although Feng Yi didn't have great talent, but with his intelligence and seriousness, he really developed Eagle Eye like that.

As for the captives in Niutou Mountain, Chu Zhongli assigned them to various farms, ironworks, and shipyards that lacked people to do hard labor, and their wages were still paid, but it was stipulated that they could not change careers for three years. At first, the captives thought that a tragic fate had come, but later they found that it was tiring to do hard labor for them, but it was not easy to be a minion in the cottage, and they had to risk losing their heads, and they could not marry a wife and have children to live a normal life. And after working for a while, they are still happy. And Tang An, because of his meritorious work in revealing intelligence before, was assigned to Cai Tai and became a foreman in the shipyard, eating stir-fried vegetables and drinking wine every day, and his life was quite nourishing. Thinking that Chu Hou is good to himself, he will definitely tell Chu Hou as soon as he has any news in the future.

As for the newcomer Lu Chongxi, he was temporarily in charge of the government affairs of Linjiang City when he was in Cai Taiguan Shipyard, although he did not have any management experience, but he was also a scholar, and his management was barely qualified. Chu Zhongli saw that Feng Yi's martial arts were too poor, so he asked Feng Yi to worship Lu Chongxi as a teacher and let Lu Chongxi teach him martial arts. Feng Yi was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Chu Hou and Lu Chongxi again and again, and Lu Chongxi also taught him seriously, and gradually developed a sense of belonging to the protagonist team.

As mentioned above, 18,500 taels of silver were seized this time, and 10,000 taels were left after the reward and pension were distributed, and Chu Zhongli allocated 5,000 taels to the shipyard, and the farm, fish market, and ironworks also allocated 1,000 taels each.

During this period, Chu Zhongli often privately obtained the guidance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and he improved very quickly, pouring all his energy into the dantian qi sea to check, which was already equivalent to the level of the eighth stage of other cultivators' qi condensation, and it was not far from breaking through the qi condensation stage to the concentration period.

He also showed the blue gem seized from the five-clawed dragon bedroom to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and when he showed it to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he had a happy expression, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi just said lightly: "Not bad." Chu Zhongli was a little disappointed at first, but he thought to himself, he is the God of Creation, it would be good if he could say a good one, what kind of excited attitude do you need.

Donghuang Taiyi said: "The function of this gem is to turn the sword qi into a water-attribute sword qi, and the water-attribute sword qi has a restraining effect on the fire attribute, and the power will also be strengthened in an environment suitable for the water attribute." "Help Chu Zhongli inlay the gemstone. Chu Zhongli took a look at the sword qi, and sure enough, the power of the original sword qi still existed, but on the basis of that, water was added, and as soon as the sword slashed over, he felt that it was mixed with water mist, and rushed towards the enemy like the wind and the sea rain. This effect is not just as simple as adding a little water, if it touches the enemy's fire-based exercises, it can play a role in extinguishing, even if the opponent does not use fire-based exercises, it can also play a role in interference.

During this time, Linjiang City and Chu Zhongli developed steadily and rapidly.

One day, Feng Yi, who was in charge of "Eagle Eye", found Chu Zhongli, handed him two letters, and said, "Tell Chu Hou, there are two letters to you, one from Wudang Mountain and the other from Yingdu. ”

When Chu Zhongli heard the three words of Wudang Mountain, his heart became a little excited, could it be that Xuanyin had sent him a letter? As for Yingdu's side, most of them were from his own family. He took the letter and said, "Okay, go down." Feng Yi gave a salute and withdrew.

Chu Zhongli took the letter, and saw that it was sealed with fire paint, and the first envelope said "Qianqian", and he couldn't help but smile, thinking, I should know that this girl wrote it on the side of Wudang Mountain. When I opened the envelope, the words were quite large, and I felt relieved that this girl still knew her reading habits. In fact, it's not that his eyes can't see clearly, but his eyes are uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time, so he likes to read big characters. He looked at the beginning and saw that the letter read:

"Whahaha! Third brother! I have officially joined Wudang! I have learned flying sword skills under the teaching of Master Xuanyin, and I have already crossed the stage of comprehension and practice, and I have reached the first level! Although Wudang Mountain is not as lively as Yingdu, there are indeed many new places, and I am still gradually exploring it.

By the way, you must want to know the news of Master Xuanyin! She practices every day from morning to night, which is really hard, and sometimes I advise her to rest for a while, but she doesn't listen, and I guess this is also an important reason why her martial arts are so powerful. Another point, I didn't know until I joined, Master Xuanyin's talent is actually on the top! Like the second brother, he is one of the three people with the highest talent in this generation, and it is estimated that in another ten or eight years, Master Xuanyin may become the most important person in the world, you have to come on.

But don't be discouraged, I can see that she still has a good impression of you, and sometimes I take the opportunity to coax her, and even once her face turned red, but I have been helping you. I will go to Linjiang City to see you when I have time, or you can come to Wudang Mountain to see me when you have time, hehe, I really want to see my brother. By the way, our slogan is 'Honesty is both brave and martial, and the end is strong and invincible'! How about it, it's cool enough, isn't it? Wudang's predecessors taught us that we can't let go of a demon, but I haven't seen a demon yet......

Your lively and lovely sister: Qianqian!"

After Chu Zhongli finished reading it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, thinking, this girl, she is really eccentric, but she said that Xuanyin Daoist has a good impression of me...... Is it true? Yes, that's great. If you have time, you really have to go and see Qianqian. I took the second letter again, and saw that there was a seal on the envelope, Chu Zhongli recognized it, this was the prince's exclusive seal, then this letter must have been written by his eldest brother, the prince Chu Zhongqian. When I opened it, I saw that it read:

"Third brother, I heard that you were far away from Linjiang, and I was very worried about it. I don't know how you're doing, but if you have any difficulties, just tell me and I'll help. In a few months, it will be my father's 70th birthday, and if you hold a banquet, you will definitely have to attend, and I will inform you when there is any news.

Brother: Zhong Qian. ”

After Chu Zhongli saw it, he also felt a warmth in his heart, his eldest brother is almost forty years old, and there is a saying that the eldest brother is like a father, this is indeed not bad for himself, his father Chu Yuanjing has always been unhappy with himself, plus he is busy with government affairs, and rarely cares for himself. The eldest brother Chu Zhongqian doesn't seem to have to worry about any government affairs, and has a lot of free time to play with him, so compared to Chu Yuanjing, he has assumed the role of a father more, although this letter has few words, but it also reflects concern.

So he picked up the pen and replied to Chu Zhongqian first, this is a good reply, and he finished writing two or three sentences: "Big brother, the younger brother has received the letter, everything is fine here, my brother doesn't have to worry about it." On my father's birthday, I will definitely go to pay a visit. Take care of your body, ask your nephew to know and know that it is right, and the younger brother is leaving. "Zhihe and Zhizheng refer to Chu Zhongqian's two sons, Chu Zhihe and Chu Zhizheng, the eldest is ten years old, and the younger is only six years old.

Regarding Chu Qianqian, Chu Zhongli's reply was: "Qianqian, I know that you are doing well in Wudang, and I am also happy for you." I don't have any problems here in Linjiang City, I recently exterminated a mountain bandit, you can really come to me to play after you have practiced your skills, it is estimated that there is no problem in defeating a bandit leader at the level of martial arts.

There's something I tell you, don't tell anyone. I was already able to cultivate, and I guess it was because I suddenly realized it when I was eighteen years old. I also learned a wood-based exercise, and you must never tell others about this, otherwise there will be no such unexpected effect.

For Xuanyin Dao Chang...... If there's anything else I'd like you to tell me, I do want to know about her. (Don't let her know I said that)

I heard that my father is going to have a banquet, and I should be able to see you then. ”

After finishing writing, he also packed the two letters in an envelope, wrote "Li" on the envelope for Chu Qianqian, and printed a seal of Linjiang Chuhou on the envelope for Chu Zhongqian. Find Feng Yi and ask him to send reliable people to send them over separately.
