The winter is late, and the warm glow is oblique, barely dispelling the slight chill of the harsh winter wax moon.

The magnificent Qidu Ye City stands majestically in the gusts of cold wind, like a giant beast lying quietly prone and sleeping on the earth.

"Squeak Squeak......"

Amid the loud and piercing sound of friction, the city gate slowly opened, and the sparse carts, horses, hawkers, and farmers began to enter and exit, and the vitality gradually increased.

A dashing figure swept from the wilderness to the official road like snow and white clouds, and then slowly walked towards Yecheng, enjoying a good swim.

In a crowd of busy, ragged poor figures, dressed in a delicate and white snow-white sable fur, the stone of the noble son of Yushu Linfeng is like standing out from the crowd, which is particularly dazzling.

From time to time, some ill-intentioned eyes peeked over, and when they saw his face, they were all overjoyed, and secretly said that he was a big fat sheep, but after seeing his bright and inviolable temperament in his eyes, it was like a scoop of ice water going down.

Mixed rivers and lakes, the most taboo is no eyesight, whether it is a fat sheep or a master, look at the eyes, momentum, you can roughly judge!

Therefore, although Shi Zhixuan has already reached the realm of returning to the basics, he has to show a little mastery in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Since he had just met and asked Yutian to urge the goods in person, Shi Zhixuan also had to behave, didn't he?

Of course, the main purpose of his 'tireless' efforts to promote the unification of the world is just like what he said to Xiang Yutian, to get a share of the benefits after the fact.

As for Xiang Yutian's goal?

Of course, Shi Zhixuan knew it, and he was vaguely sure that Xiang Yutian was probably busier than him now!

Today, the once elite and abnormal Qi army has long been decayed, and it has lost Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, and the general Hu Luguang, who are equivalent to the soul of the army, so there is no need to worry about it......

The biggest obstacle to the destruction of Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It has changed from the Qi army to the Yin faction!

I have to say that if it weren't for the paradoxical master of 'Pei Ju' in the Great Zhou, the four grandmaster-level masters of the Yin Sect would still have a lot to do.

At the very least, Yu Wenyong is likely to have a few more 'slight dragon body problems', and the Northern Zhou general is also likely to have some more 'deaths'. As a result, many state affairs and wars dragged on, or were abandoned halfway.

Of course, even if he gave up the way of assassination, the Yin Sect worked together, integrated the Northern Qi soldiers and masters, plus conspiracy and assassination, and all kinds of disgusting things that could be done during the Northern Zhou Dynasty's invasion of Qi were enough for Yu Wenyong to drink a pot!

It just so happened that Shi Zhixuan received another 'big gift' from Wen Caiting. It stands to reason that you have to be close to the Yin Sect on face......

"I may have to sacrifice hue on this trip, and I can be regarded as dedicating myself to the country......"

Shi Zhixuan pinched his chin as bright as jade, muttered with righteousness in his heart, and casually glanced at the people of Yecheng who were coming and going on the official roads outside the city, but their expressions were numb, and he did not see from them the slightest sense of superiority that the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven should have.

I can't help but sigh secretly: The people's livelihood has withered so far, how can we talk about the country's strength and people's hearts?

Although this fall. The Zhou army invaded Luoyang, and the momentum was huge all the way. Daqi dispatched troops everywhere, and it was not easy to repel them, but for the ordinary people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the border war was too far away after all.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose the war, the most important thing is whether the imperial court will raise taxes on the grounds of the border war!

As long as there is no tax increase. It doesn't matter if the life of the small people is more miserable or less joyful, they can continue to survive slowly as always, otherwise once the tax is raised, it will be the end of the world!

No one cares that in the past few years, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, and Hu Luguang, the general of the country, have died one after another. Whether Daqi is now suffering from internal and external troubles has become a big piece of fat in the eyes of Da Zhou, and the disaster of the country may not be far away.

Who doesn't know that the young Emperor Gao Wei of Great Qi sang songs from night to night, summoned courtiers every three or five times, and the monarchs and ministers all admired the 'jade**body**heng**chen' of the noble concubine Feng Xiaolian on the main hall?

"Bone ......"

The gates were sparkling on wheels, and a team of soldiers in tattered uniforms pushed several carts full of dirty corpses in the direction of the mass graves outside the city.

Shi Zhixuan looked at it in his eyes, how did he not know that it was the poor and homeless people who died of cold and starvation in the city, it was inevitable every winter, and most people had long been accustomed to it.

And this scene of 'Zhumen wine and meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road', in this feudal era, no matter the prosperous times or the troubled times, it has never been broken, and it cannot be reversed by manpower!

Even if the Northern Zhou Dynasty is now ruled by a rare Shengming monarch like Yuwen Yong, the number of poor people in Chang'an City who freeze to death every day is only half less than that of Yecheng!

Secretly sighing, Shi Zhixuan glanced at an inconspicuous secret mark on the inside of the city wall, and turned to the first Kuangqi restaurant on the right hand side of the street.

..................

Half an hour later, Shi Zhixuan was on the second floor of the restaurant, pouring himself a light side dish, enjoying himself, and didn't seem to notice that a masked beauty was approaching.

Until the woman snorted and sat across the table, staring at him with discontented eyes.

Shi Zhixuan sighed and said, "It's been so long since I've come, the efficiency of the Yin Sect is really worrying!"

To be honest, I am not optimistic about the future of Northern Qi and your faction from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for the second half of the [Heavenly Demon Great Law] I still have expectations, I really don't want to wade into this troubled water with your faction. ”

Seeing that he was cheap, and his words were so undisguised, with a reluctant and disgusted attitude, Zhu Yuyan was angry, looked at him coldly, and the look of surprise in his eyes flashed.

I couldn't help but ask, "Are you the descendant of the Mending Heaven Pavilion or the descendant of the Flower Sect?"

Shi Zhixuan also squinted at Zhu Yuyan's beautiful figure, shook his head and sighed incomprehensibly: "The Dao Lord is unswerving, the Demon Lord is unpredictable, and the [Demon Cultivation Method] is the supreme secret of the Demon Dao, especially the subtlety and strangeness of the ever-changing world......

Your realm is too low, and you don't understand it!"

With a displeased snort, Zhu Yuyan said angrily: "Since you have eaten and drunk enough, you will enter the palace with me, my master and the two uncles are still waiting for you in the palace......"

................................................................................................

At noon, the winter glow is warmer.

In the remote place of the small lake in the southeast of Yecheng, a manor is built by the mountains and rivers, and the pavilions and pavilions are all located, and the scenery is moving everywhere, and the vitality is flowing. It's intoxicating.

Only those who are proficient in garden architecture and Qimen Dunjia can get a glimpse of the inexplicable mystery of the hidden meaning of this manor.

A vague black shadow fell into the garden, revealing a handsome and evil figure looking at the world to the rain field.

On the left, there is a gravel path, which connects with the square pavilion and follows the cliff edge into the woods. It makes people feel the heart of seeking seclusion and exploring victory.

Walking all the way to Yutian, turning left and right, the ground suddenly opened up in front of me, on the platform near the cliff, there was a two-story small building, and the situation was dangerous.

Suddenly, he sniffled and shouted, "Lu Miaozi, I've only been out for three days, and you're busy secretly opening the fruit wine that we have been brewing for three years." One for all?"

On the small building, a tall young man walked out of the room with a wine glass, leaned on the railing in front of the door, took a sip of fruit wine, and looked full of enjoyment.

Le Hehe said: "Big brother is not strange, today the younger brother finally completed the calculation task assigned by the eldest brother, and when he was happy, he started the aged fruit wine that he buried three years ago." Celebrate a little!"

The young man is in his twentieth year, but he has a very special face. Humble and quirky, his long black eyebrows stretched to his angular sideburns, while the other end was joined together on the bridge of his ears, in stark contrast to his deep eagle eyes.

Xiang Yutian saw his relief on his face, and knew that what he said was true, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Since that's the case." I won't hold my brother accountable for stealing old wine!"

"Hehe......" Lu Miaozi smiled lightly, her eyes turned to the clear winter sky, revealing inexplicable expectations.

Xiang Yutian knew his personality well and knew that he was a person who couldn't settle down, and at this time he was thinking about where to wander tomorrow. Seeking constant change and stimulation is what makes it so radiant.

Although in the past three years, the two of them have spent most of their time in this secluded manor, doing some mysterious calculations, but every once in a while, Lu Miaozi will not be able to hold back, go out for ten days and a half to play, and then come back to continue.

I didn't see how Xiang Yutian moved, the whole person flashed, and silently swept more than ten zhang into the air, and came to Lu Miaozi's side, and then he didn't look at the situation in the room, but just reached out and grabbed it into the room, and there was an extra wine jug in his hand.

Lu Miaozi raised her eyebrows and said in appreciation: "Big brother's method, every time I see it, I am envious!"

Xiang Yutian poured a sip on the spout of the wine jug, enjoying the fruit brewing into his throat, the wine has a mellow taste, soft and refreshing aroma and rich coordination, which makes people have a long aftertaste.

Only then did he look at Lu Miaozi and said lightly: "Miaozi, you are talented and intelligent, which is rare for me for more than a hundred years......

But you are interested in everything, you can arouse curiosity in anything, and you can pursue infinite knowledge with a limited life.

If you can devote yourself to martial arts, you will definitely achieve a lot in the future, otherwise in this world where force is rampant and people's hearts are treacherous, there will be a day when you will regret it!"

Lu Miaozi said disapprerovingly: "The little brother is not greedy for power, second, he doesn't love gold, silver and jewelry, and third, he doesn't have the heart to fight bravely, so why do you have to become a top master?"

I travel in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, as long as I have a little martial arts to defend myself, it is enough!"

Xiang Yutian shook his head and sighed lightly, no longer persuading, secretly regretting in his heart: I had already selected him as one of the spare Snatching Furnaces, but I never thought that he would be so unenterprising in martial arts.

If he wastes a few more years, after the golden time of martial arts, his cultivation is still high and low, I am afraid that it will not be able to be used at all - the cultivation of the furnace tripod is too high, and the risk of backlash when taking away is certainly very great, on the contrary, the cultivation of the furnace tripod is too low, and the spirit and spirit have not been tempered and sublimated enough, which is also a veritable stinky skin, and the person who takes the furnace disdains it......

What a waste of his excellent bones!

Lu Miaozi suddenly said: "Although the junior brother doesn't know why the eldest brother asked me to help you calculate some mysterious nodes of the operation law of the three walls of the heavenly dome and the twenty-eight stars and the five elements of the earth with easy numbers, but wherever these two are used as the base of luck circulation, they are all dangerous and unpredictable.

If you want to go on an adventure, you still need to be cautious!"

Xiang Yutian said indifferently: "I understand. ”

At the same time, I was secretly thinking in my heart: The operation of that mysterious place, not only involving the stars and the earth, should be the way of heaven, earth and man, far beyond your kid's imagination!

Otherwise, with my unparalleled spiritual cultivation, I only need to constantly observe the changes of heaven and earth with the induction of heaven and man, and I have already found its direction and the method of opening, so why should I be stupid and calculate the laws with you in an easy number? )
