After the intention of Lianshui Gate to enter Qiyun from the north was exposed, Lianshui City experienced several turmoil, the most violent one was the battle between Bihumen and the remaining forces of Lianshui Alliance for many years, when the two forces fought fiercely on the center line of the city, so that this famous city of Baishan was tragically devastated, and the prosperity was no more.

As the initiator, Jiang Mingling was reluctant to face the city, and spent most of her time living in Bihu. Jiang Mingke, who is completely different from her, did not want to stay under the wings of Bihu Palace, and as soon as he came back from Xushui, he moved into the original site of Lianshuimen Mountain Gate in the city, and at the same time presided over the grand project of repairing and rebuilding a new mountain gate and a new city.

In the center of the city, the Jiang family destroyed all the ruins of the low wall that were as ugly as scars, and then dug a ditch to divert water to make a river that traverses the city.

The east and west cities are separated by this river, the east city buildings are tall and wide, and the layout of the pavilions are all in the style of Qiyun, while the west city retains the original Baishan style, with many shops and deep alleys, and it seems that it has a very complete plan.

Qi Xiu examined it with a critical eye, and didn't find anything wrong, "This Jiang Mingke's reputation is average, and he is quite resolute in doing things." He said to himself.

"I've booked a half-street shop, and I'll ...... there"

Nangong Yanran pointed to a street in Xicheng and said, "In addition, the title deeds of the two hot spring villas you ordered to buy. She handed over two contracts, "It's also what the Jiang family agreed to use to compensate, can you take a look?"

Qi Xiu looked at the two contracts in her hand, they were the two hot springs that she and Wei Minniang stayed in when they came here twice, and bought them completely for those precious memories, all kinds of things in the past came to his heart, and he lost his mind for a while, "You take it, I don't have time now, I'll talk about it later." "After all, I still didn't answer.

Before the war, the Jiang family borrowed a total of 200,000 third-order spiritual stones from Chu Qinmen, and borrowed 53,000 pieces in the past ten years, and later used the war gains to offset some of them, and now they still owe 150,000 yuan.

The entire southwest of Jiangnan Sect borders Chu Qin through Tianyin Temple and Chushui, which is also the boundary river between his family and the Lingmu League, the north is a number of joint shares of the Qifu City dominated by the Fire Alliance and the Death Swamp, and the south has Sangjia's Songhai Gate to separate it from the Fire Alliance, the territory is extremely vast, and it is not easy to clean up and rectify the interior. In addition, Jiang Mingke's plan to connect with the water city is extremely expensive, and the spirit stone materials are lacking, so they can't pay it off in a short time, and the Jiang family will not be able to repay the debt, and there is an entry for grace repayment on the original contract, strictly speaking, it has not defaulted.

Jiang Mingke proposed to repay it with the property in Lianshui City, which was really unedible and unusable for the current Chu Qinmen, and he couldn't see the benefits for a while, but in the first year of the Jiang family's sect, even if Chu Qin's expedition was imminent, Qi Xiu didn't want to be the first person to find his family's bad luck, so he agreed and sent Nangong Yanran to negotiate this matter first.

150,000 third order, replaced some good shops and two hot spring villas in Lianshui City, plus pre-purchased part of the spiritual grass production of Jiangnan Sect in the future, it will be clean. Jiang Mingke, the first head of the Jiangnan Sect, was much higher than when he first met a few months ago, and after signing his name on the covenant, he threw the pen into Qi Xiu's hand at will, regardless of whether he signed it or not, but turned around and walked outside the hall, overlooking the city under the mountain, and said loudly: "The head of Qi is the old-timer of our Qiyun people who went south, how about giving some advice to this city?"

"The old-timers don't dare to be, I was born in the Jindan faction, how can my eyesight and knowledge be compared to your family's profound ten thousand years of family......"

Qi Xiu casually dealt with a few words, and seeing that Jiang Mingke was very useful, he pursed his lips and asked for an opportunity to leave.

"By the way, I heard that your family will go to the open sea to participate in the war, and I have something to send here. ”

Jiang Mingke smiled and blinked, "Don't be in a hurry, just follow me." Then go first to the back mountain.

Qi Xiu gave Nangong Yanran a look, and when he saw her shaking her head, he had to hold back the fox suspicion and follow Jiang Mingke.

On the way, Jiang Mingke said: "The head of Qi doesn't need to be too busy with the expenses during the war, this time it is to remove the Demon Guardian Dao, and the Qiyun faction, Haidong City, and the Great Zhou Academy will not be stingy with the sects participating in the war." Besides, if you work hard for the Chu family, do you have to spend your own money?"

Although his words were a little direct, they were really reasonable, "Hehe, I'm also here to be prepared." Qi Xiu replied with a smile.

With Jiang Mingke to the bottom of the back mountain, looking at the style, it should be the dungeon of the Jiang family, Qi Xiu couldn't help but think of what happened to the Jade Crane in Qifu City back then, and he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart. But soon, his worries disappeared, and the cells were full of monks with limbs restrained and pipa bones locked, all of whom were unconscious with their heads drooped, but they didn't seem to have been tortured in any way, the total number was no less than two hundred, and the main practice was qi, and there were more than a dozen of them building foundations, all of whom should be scattered cultivators in Baishan.

"This is!?"

Just like the hanging corpses he saw at the city gate at first glance, Qi Xiu was surprised that the Jiang family, who was born in Qi Yun, 'followed the customs' so quickly.

"These are all the murderers who took advantage of my Jiang family's expedition to make trouble in my Jiangnan Sect realm, and when the time comes, they just need to pull them to the open sea......

Jiang Mingke waved his hand and said with a smile: "According to my experience, I can get back a lot of merit points for your family! ”

"Uh......"

Purely driving loose cultivation to be cannon fodder, Qi Xiu is really a little disdainful, but think about it carefully, these people can be a force if they are used well, Jiang Mingke's move is a bit of a win-win situation, and it is not good to refute it, "That's ...... Okay, I'll take it!" he rolled his eyes and agreed.

The trip to Qifu City was a smooth one, and even the water city had basically achieved its goal, and Qi Xiu's 'contract tour' continued south. In Danqing Mountain, he and Yingbo and Bank of China agreed on a long-term supply agreement for pills and other materials, with a total value of 100,000 third orders. In Star Picking City, he returned in vain, and the Star Picking Pavilion insisted on not changing the contract signed when redeeming Chu Wen and the others, 10,000 war supplies per year. There are still eighteen years left to fulfill this treaty, and 10,000 materials per year are calculated according to the current year's prices......

But there is no way, what was signed in black and white back then, Qi Xiu had to fulfill it as promised with tears, fortunately, this was shared with Qi Yunchu's family, half and half.

Then, Chu Qin Feisuo stopped at Yangui Mountain.

Yan Nanxing also tried to marry a baby on the top of the White Mountain, and the affairs of Yan Guimen were under the jurisdiction of Yan Muyun, the heir he designated, but Yan Muyun, a cultivator genius, could not always deal with miscellaneous affairs, and most of the general affairs were gradually controlled by Luo Zi, who was married to Chu Qinmen.

Of course, when Qi Xiu visited, Yan Muyun still had to go out of the customs to receive him personally.

"With our relationship, that's what we should do. ”

Yan Muyun signed his name on a supply contract worth a total of 100,000 third order, and said, "Not only that, but the remaining eight of our Nine Star Fang also want to go further and provide you and the Chu family with help within their ability. ”

"Oh?"

Qi Xiu was a little surprised, "What do you say?"

"Send someone to the open sea. Yan Muyun said: "The eight of us can put together a team of about 1,500 people, but ......" he stopped talking.

"Need us to reciprocate?" Qi Xiu guessed slightly.

"Well, yes. Yan Muyun replied: "Several of their sect masters proposed that if there is a situation like that of Lingliang Sect in the future, I hope that the Chu family and you will help." ”

The eight of them are now afraid that the Lingmu League is trembling with fear, and they are divided into three generations, and the Lingliang Sect is an example, so it is not surprising that there is such a request.

Qi Xiu refused without thinking about it, "I can't guarantee this kind of thing at all now, and the Chu family is even more impossible." And to put it another way, since we have decided to go to the open sea, we are naturally confident that we will return victorious, and all the help that has been given to us ......," he pondered for a moment, "and we are grateful and promised that there will be a great reward, but we want to be rewarded beyond our control...... Not very realistic. ”

"I understand. ”

Yan Muyun was not angry, Yan Nanxing was expected to get married, his family's current fear of the Lingmu Alliance was the lightest among the Jiuxingfang families, "I will tell them, if they don't send people, my Yan Guimen will still send a team of about 100 people, of course, there are no additional conditions." ”

"Hmm. ”

Qi Xiu was very satisfied with his attitude, leaving Yangui Mountain, looking at the Baishan Imperial Beast Gate in the south and the Lingmu Alliance Territory in the north, these two families definitely don't need to go, "Think back to the mountain, wait, go to Tianyin Temple for a ride first." He commanded.

The presiding officer of the light pole chose to build a temple in Tianyin Mountain, where the aura was disordered, and his ambition to do penance was very firm, and he refused Qi Xiu's help, and built a small temple with his own physical strength.

"Outer Sea Demon Disaster, are you going to go?"

The host sat down, and Qi Xiu asked directly.

"Amitabha, I will chant prayers for the souls in distress on the open sea, but this time, I will not go. Fa Yin replied flatly.

Qi Xiu looked at his demeanor and demeanor, and his previous sharp qi had been smoothed out a lot, but he could see that he would definitely enter the realm of Buddhism practice again, "Why? Isn't it your intention to kill the demons?" he asked deliberately.

"There are many good things that can be done in the world, and there are also many evils that can be eliminated. I was so anxious to get rid of demons in the water that I had harmed my fellow masters, which is an example. Fa Yin replied: "Now that the small temple is newly established, if I don't cross the territory to have a fate, and don't add incense to the Buddha statue, I just leave a mess and go to the open sea to kill the evil demons, wouldn't I have made the mistake of putting the cart before the horse." ”

Qi Xiu thought so deeply and no longer persuaded him.

Finally returned to Siguo Mountain, but saw Ji Yuliang's white saucer-shaped shuttle hovering outside the mountain, and hurriedly rushed in, fortunately, this time Ji Yuliang didn't play anything to catch it first and then talk about this trick, and was talking to Wen Xin in the clifftop hall to ask Kan Xuan and others.

"Why are you two always there?"

Qi Xiu listened to it for a while, and knew that someone had taken the order of heaven to sue him for traffic demon cultivation and made preparations for participating in the war in the open sea in advance, so he relieved his heart, walked behind Wen Xin, and asked silently.

"I still want to ask you!" Wen Xin rolled his eyes.
