August 13, Languo border village, Fangyi

Bai Ye never thought that he was also the only remaining bloodline of the Holy Spirit Clan's royal family, but on his eighteenth birthday, he still had to carry a big bag endlessly.

Actually, he didn't have to get started. Murakami Rizheng Amber only told him to count the numbers, but he was thin-skinned, and he was really embarrassed to stand by and watch the sweaty appearance of the old and young in the village.

He didn't expect that there was too much military ration that needed to be dumped, and this move would be overnight.

He didn't expect that a moment ago, he thought that he was finally going to finish his work and eat Shou Noodles, why did he suddenly have to face life and death?

Bai Ye, who was dragged into the cave, stared at the huge pile in front of him, and faintly felt that the hairs on his body stood up.

This stack of more than a dozen large bags is military rations, and there are at least 3,000 catties.

Food doesn't shine.

At the bottom is clearly not food. The only thing that can emit this kind of green light is that batch of fruits rich in spiritual power! This thing must not be pressed for a long time, otherwise it will explode.

The villagers are clearly aware of the problem and are struggling to move the grain bales down. As the pressure decreased, the sack at the bottom gradually swelled, as if it began to breathe, and the green light revealed became flickering and dimming.

I'm afraid that the spirit fruit in the sack has already been cracked, and once the finely broken seeds release a large amount of spiritual power, they will explode in the next moment.

The villagers didn't know what to do for a while, so they froze on the ladder and didn't dare to move again.

Bai Ye forcibly stabilized his mind and said to the people around him: "This method doesn't work, let's go out first, and I'll deal with it." ”

Here, Bai Ye had the final say, and everyone put down their work and retreated gently. Soon only Bai Ye was left alone in the huge cave.

Staring at the sack in front of him with a faint green light, he ran his hands over the broken hair that was scattered around his ears, adjusted his breath deeply, and slowly stretched out his arms.

With his hand hanging in the air, Bai Ye hesitated. This pack of spirit fruit is not cheap, and it is inevitable that you will be scolded.

However, it's better than the entire cave being blown up to the sky.

At this time, someone at the entrance of the cave shouted: "Xiaoye, those people don't eat at the inn, so let's come up and check!"

After a pause, the man added: "You, you, be careful, don't force it!"

"If I don't come hard, this thing will be hard......"

Bai Ye gritted his teeth, bent down sharply, and plunged his entire right palm straight into the sack.

The pulsing green light paused for a moment, and then burst into glory.

Strands of spiritual power slowly gathered into silk, obediently hidden into his arm, and the bulging sack gradually collapsed back.

After less than a cup of tea, fine beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead, which were reflected in the green light.

Looks like it's not going to blow up. Bai Ye sighed softly, but a trace of chagrin rose in his heart, the cave library was saved, but after absorbing so much spiritual power at once, he couldn't avoid this scolding.

The old and young people of the village lay on the ground at the entrance of the cave. After tossing all night, everyone was exhausted.

Bai Ye, who walked out of the door, looked at the people with guilt on their faces, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "It's okay, it's okay, let's continue?"

I don't know which uncle smacked it vigorously when he passed by Bai Ye's side.

Bai Ye rubbed his shoulders with a wry smile and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

The mountains are lighter than they were in the early morning. Through the mist, the paddy fields at the foot of the mountain reflect patches of sunlight, and the terraced slopes look like giant beasts with crystal scales. As the light and shadow fluctuate in the fog, it seems to be about to stretch gently.

On the mountain road by the lake in the middle of the village, a string of figures looms.

He looked back at the people inside and outside the cavern who were busy putting the finishing touches on the cleanup.

It's too late, the gang is coming up soon, and they still have to drag on for a while.

Mountainside, stone pavement.

Li Zhengan Luo Yong of Fangyi Village was a little uneasy in his heart.

According to the news received yesterday, the official who led the team behind him was surnamed Xue Mingjing, and the new official visited the Supervision Department to Su Zhengshi. It is responsible for supervising the affairs of the household department and inspecting the traffic situation of water conservancy fields and properties in various places. The official position is not obvious, but he is a celebrity in front of the prime minister.

At present, this senior official of the DPRK and China suddenly came to the border to inspect the military grain reserves, and he wanted to see the Jiang family's treasury by name. Even if the village has dealt with it in advance, it is still a little nervous.

I don't know what happened to the cave.

The group had just walked up the steep stone path to the mountain beam, when an elegant figure suddenly flashed in the fog.

The green shirt has wide sleeves, the plain boots are white, the lacquered hair is jade, and the eyebrows are long.

A teenager who looks so comfortable.

"Xiao Ye avoided it, and the officials wanted to go to the cave to check. ”

"Yes. "The boy who got stuck at the bend of the mountain road was Bai Ye. He bowed respectfully, looked up only to find that the mountain road was narrow and there was no way to avoid it. He could only hold on to the mountain wall and retreat awkwardly.

"Be careful. A warm and peaceful voice sounded from behind An Lizheng. Bai Ye followed the prestige, and at a glance he glanced at the official belt around the waist of the person behind.

According to the official practice of the Lan State, officials at all levels must wear official belts regardless of their official uniforms. The middle-aged man in front of him with a rich face was dressed in civilian clothes, and his dark blue belt was finely embroidered with five dark lines, and this official rank was not low.

Anli gave the official a smile in a sneering manner: "My lord, forgive me." Poor and remote, there is really no money to widen the mountain road. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Bai Ye, who was helplessly blocking the road, "The doll in the mountains is not sensible and has collided with adults." I will make amends on his behalf, and I will ask you Lao Haihan. ”

The official's face was not stunned, and he waved his hand happily. He tilted his head to look at the white and translucent young man, and gave Anli a thumbs up, "If it is really a beautiful mountain, you can raise such a handsome and good person." ”

This kind of vision Bai Ye has long been used to. There is a large mixed-race population in the territory of Languo, and the complexion is dark and light. And he is surprisingly white, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a pure-blooded Western Continent Holy Spirit Clan. Anyone will take a second look.

Anli is snorting: "My lord praised it falsely." Where are there any beautiful mountains and rivers, but it is just to settle the wasteland and beg for a living. ”

Xue Jing stared at Bai Ye for a long time, and then his eyes drifted to the village at the foot of the mountain: "Speaking of regulations, if you hadn't come to investigate in person, I really wouldn't have imagined that the layout of a small mountain village would be so orderly." ”

"I heard that the cave warehouse to be seen in a while, warm in winter and cool in summer, not afraid of wind and rain, the garrison is no better than storing grain...... Was this Fangyi a military town in the past, and where were the military horses stationed?"

Bai Ye, who had been pestle on the top, came over and arched his hand: "Lord Hui, the cave library was built by the Jiang family in Quanzhou a few years ago, specifically for storing and transporting the Wuyin tea produced on this mountain. ”

Li Zheng took over the conversation and added: "My lord, the tea mountains near here have been rented by the Jiang family. In three seasons a year, planting, roasting and storage are all taken care of by the village. ”

"Oh?" the official's eyes lit up, "The Jiang family's industry! No wonder it's such a big deal." ”

Anli is bowing down and whispering, "There are no special products in the small place, and the two pots of roasted new tea have been loaded, so please reward you to quench your thirst." ”

The official bowed slightly, and then changed his words, "Let's go up and have a look, it's cold here, and my legs are sore." ”

Li Zheng and Bai Ye couldn't delay any longer, so they had to turn around and lead everyone up the mountain.

After walking for a long time, everyone came to the foot of the cave. The four-eyed cave was carved out of the cliff, and the entrance of the cave was a man high above the ground, and there was a heavy wooden platform outside.

Master Xue climbed onto the wooden platform, knocked on the heavy hardwood door, and turned around and asked, "The newly arrived military rations occupy the Jiang family's cellar, have you ever said hello?"

An Li Zheng said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, the Jiang family steward sent a letter to the flying pigeon, and he must do his best to support it. ”

"Hmm. The Jiang family's high righteousness has always been known to the imperial court. Master Xue shook his head, "The contact between you is very fast. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Bai Ye froze.

Everyone knows that today's Shengshang, Dashuai and the head of the Jiang family are close friends who have passed their lives, and the legendary story of the three of them when they were young has been passed down from mouth to mouth in the market.

But after all, the Jiang Chamber of Commerce has controlled the Eastern Continent business network for hundreds of years, and even a small mountain village on the border like Fangyi is firmly embedded in the end of the Jiang family's huge network.

It is precisely because of this that the three provinces and ministries of the imperial court have always been very afraid of the power and influence of the Jiang Chamber of Commerce. But these things should not be told by anyone present.

An Luoyong and Bai Ye were secretly speculating about what was wrong with the answer just now, and Lord Xue had already walked into the cave with a sigh of praise.

Everything that should have been cleared has been cleared in time, and the grain bags have filled the cave to the brim.

Bai Ye glanced at Amber with some smugness, only to find that his brows were tightly knit and the muscles in his body were tense.

Bai Ye turned his head sharply.

Lord Xue, who was standing in the center of the cave, stretched out his hand, and a ring on his ring finger was flashing with a thick green light.

"Anrizheng. He lowered his head and played with the ring, and said word by word, "There was more than just tea here." ”
