It's another year of scorching summer, but Huashan in Guanzhong doesn't make people feel a trace of heat, and the mountains are full of trees that isolate the scorching sunlight from the mountains. And in Jade Girl Peak, Xue Qingling's house, Liu Qingyan and Xue Qingling, the two Sword Sect bosses, seemed to have forgotten the unhappy break up in August the year before last, and got together to play chess again, as if nothing had happened.

"Senior Brother Xue, Zhou Budo has sent the silver back again. This time, it was 60,000 taels back. Liu Qingyan took advantage of Xue Qingling's inattention, and a white word fell into the air eye, and after the mention, he said to Xue Qingling.

"Send it, just send it. It's not his credit alone, it's good for not being sad. Xue Qingling didn't care, he just thought about how to place the chess pieces. Although Liu Qingyan succeeded in robbing, one of his big dragons was about to be blocked by Xue Qingling.

"My Senior Brother Xue... Do you really not care or don't you care? Liu Qingyan was in a hurry, grabbed a chess piece and sprinkled it on the chessboard. said to Xue Qingling, "Now that Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Feng are wandering in the faction, many junior brothers who originally supported Bu Sad's side have stood on Zhou Budo's side, and in the long run, I'm afraid that if you don't be sad, it will really be hopeless to seize the throne." ”

"Play a good game of chess, you're going to have to mess it up. Xue Qingling threw the chess pieces in his hand back to Qi Lou, picked up the cup on the side of the table and took a sip: "Usually you don't admit defeat so quickly." ”

Liu Qingyan saw Xue Qingling's attitude, and sighed: "Senior Brother Xue, have you really forgotten what Master said when he left? Are you really going to Chaoyang Peak to bow your head to Zhou Qingxuan?"

"What can I do? Don't be sad and don't be as sad as Zhou Budo, who else can compare to Zhou Budo's disciples of the younger generation of our Sword Sect except for the little beast Xie Budo back then?

"At the beginning, Senior Brother Xue, you shouldn't have abolished your immovable martial arts. Liu Qingyan didn't seem to see Xue Qingling's face, "Young and ignorant, as long as you train well, you may not be able to get it back, senior brother, you abolished his martial arts, drove him out of the mountain gate, and secretly sneaked down the mountain, and ended up with him." Is this necessary?"

"Enough!" Xue Qingling crushed the teacup in his hand at once, and he was also a little bit of true qi protection, otherwise the sharp edges and corners of this cup fragment would make his palms bloody. "What are you doing with that little brute? Waiting for him to pass on the mastery of my Huashan Sect to outsiders in the future? In a few years, what kind of evil demons and foreign ways will he lead him to make friends in the rivers and lakes to make this cave blessed land into a miasma?!"

Liu Qingyan saw Xue Qingling's seizure, and he didn't dare to stiffen his head, so he could only explain: "But after you don't move, senior brother, you have worked hard to cultivate not being sad for ten years, and you haven't been able to withstand Zhou Budo's long sword until now." If I don't use some means, then my Sword Sect will have to be pressed by the Qi Sect for another generation. ”

Not to mention that Hebei Heimuya has always been a thief, even the two martial arts masters of Songshan and Wudang Mountain do not want to see my Huashan return to the six major factions, as well as the Songshan faction, which has been fighting with many important ministers in the court in the past two years, and has not lost to my Huashan under the expansion of power. If the two sects of sword qi are really fighting, my Huashan faction will not say that it will return to the six major factions, even if it is the position of the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, I am afraid that it will not be able to keep it. Looking at what Liu Qingyan wanted to say, Xue Qingling said silently: "The world has changed, Senior Brother Liu, you can do what you want." If nothing has changed in the martial arts today, then don't do anything. ”

Xue Qingling has said everything to this point, what else can Liu Qingyan say? It is already commendable to be able to force Xue Qingling to say this, and it is better than not letting go of his mouth two years ago. Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan also resented Hu Buyi's incompetence, for more than two years, he didn't find a chance to kill Zhou Budo, and let Zhou Budo do such a big career in Nanyang, every year tens of thousands of taels of gold, silver and other scattered jewels are transported back to Huashan, and now not only the people of the Qi Sect say good things about Zhou Budo, but several elders of the Sword Sect are now also starting to say good things about Zhou Budo. If you can't think of a way and continue like this, Zhou Budo's position will really be unshakable.

The official road from Hangzhou to Kaifeng is extremely prosperous, and in the former Song Dynasty, you can even take a boat from here to Kaifeng City, and you can be comfortable along the way, and then drive back to Huayin County when you arrive in Kaifeng. However, this is also a matter of the pre-Song Dynasty. The bustling city and developed transportation cannot resist the invasion of time, and the prosperity of this road has long been destroyed in the war that has lasted for hundreds of years. Song Jin tug-of-war, naturally there is no idle dredging and transportation. As for the Mongols? Do they know what water conservancy is? Moreover, the Yuan clan has no calculation of the amount of money, and when the money is insufficient, it naturally has to be exploited and used, but they suffer from the fact that there are too few Mongols, and among them they are even more literate, and they know how to collect finance and taxes and enrich the treasury. When asked the Mongol lords how they got the money, they had only one answer: slaughtering the city. There is no way but to use the Lustful Merchants such as the Fearful Warrior to take care of the finances, the Lustful people are good at money, greedy and cruel, and the Lustful Merchants are even more so. With the assistance of the Semu people, the Yuan court looted a lot of people's wealth, and the two Huai returned farmland to grazing, and the two Huai, the granary since the Tang Dynasty, became a huge pasture. In addition, Beiping, the capital of Mongolia, is not necessary to dredge the canal to Kaifeng. And our pig's feet Zhou Budo, as well as the group of people he brought back, could only find a few carriages to go back slowly after getting off the boat in Fujian. What? Horseback riding? What are you kidding? What about the gold, silver and jewelry filled with two carts and Nanyang specialties? Don't you want it? Not to mention that with a beautiful woman by his side, how can Zhou Budo be willing to hurry back quickly?" "Lingxiao, when I get to Wudang Mountain, I will go to propose marriage to your grandfather, and our marriage will be done after the New Year." The high-spirited Zhou Budo returned to this familiar continent, and he got carried away, looking at him with two complaining eyes completely unaware. "What about the two sisters? You don't handle it well, and I won't agree to the two sisters. After two years of training, Lingxiao has become more and more meticulous, as soon as he listens to Zhou Budo's words, he doesn't need to look at Han Yue'er and Chu Qiqi, he knows what to say. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the two girls suddenly looked much better, "For my brother's gaffe, forgive me, two junior sisters." Zhou Budo knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly changed the topic, "That person was powerful back then, and thanks to the two junior sisters and Sister Lingxiao, otherwise how could our Moon City grow to the current scale? ”

Since two years ago, Zhou Budo killed the Jinyi Wei Qianhu named Zhu San, Mochizuki City has never had interference from the Central Plains, and the Northern Expedition of Yongle Tianzi again and again has caused displaced people to rise up, if it weren't for the foundation laid by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is good enough, it is also strong today, and a group of ministers can be regarded as governing the country well, I am afraid that the world would have been in flames long ago. In order to share the worries of the imperial court, in order to contribute to the country, in order to prevent these displaced people from starving to death. Zhou Budo resolutely paid out of his own pocket and did not want a penny from the imperial court, and recruited batches of displaced people to migrate to his Mochizuki City. After two years of painstaking management, Zhou Budo and others painstaking planning and design, Mochizuki City has now grown into a Nanyang city with a population of more than 200,000, workshops and markets, distribution like a chessboard, more than 5,000 city defense troops, towering city walls, and deep moats.

During this period, there were several times when the local natives or old priests gathered thousands of troops from the city-states established by eighteen tribes to attack the Heyang Kingdom, but in the face of the towering and solid city walls made of cement, even though the old priests were as wise as the abyss and the sea, the natives were lazy and stupid, and they had not even learned to make ladders and thunderbolts, so they naturally could not break it. In the end, under the mediation of the governor of Luzon, Xu Chay, the two countries were reconciled with an armistice. The exchange of grain from Mochizuki City for the gems and gold of Heyang City has also made those lazy natives in Heyang City learn to smelt metals, and they have made a lot of progress in this regard. However, although the two cities have reached a contract agreement, who can rest assured that whom? In order not to be exploited, this time when he came back, Zhou Budo left Zhuo Bufan and Hu Bubei and Cui Bupo behind. Zhuo Bufan has been trained by Zhou Budo in the past two years and the blessing of the spiritual incense of the fixed realm, and he has been able to barely beat Hu Bubei. As for Hu Bubei, he has now become a rare master planner. And Cui Bupo, not to mention that Cui Bupo's martial arts are not very good, he is a good hand at handling some chores, and now he is responsible for the repair and cleaning of the city. The three of them cooperate with each other to contain each other, not to mention the longevity of Wangyue City, but at least Zhou Budo returns to the mountain gate for a period of time, so he doesn't have to worry about Mochizuki City. Zhou Budo was relieved to boldly return to the mountain gate. Completely forgot about it. Just as Zhou Budo and his party slowly rushed back to Huashan with laughter and laughter, a major event, a major event that was enough to shake the entire martial arts in the whole world, happened.
