The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 144 143. Passing the Word
Wang Gan, an earth immortal, has always been extravagant and spends a lot of money on weekdays. Lu Shi really couldn't compete with him for wealth and wealth.

After confronting each other for [-] days, everyone suffered minor losses. Later, the news came from the gods that General Yuntan's army was mobilized, just like when they rescued Longyang County. Instead of coming to Xianwang's Palace, they went to attack Dongshan County.

Lu's family can't sing an empty city plan, so he has to go back to the army to defend himself.

As soon as the siege of King Xian's mansion was lifted, the Yun family's army withdrew, not really going to Dongshan County to take a big risk.

Back in Longya City, the Lu family and the others moved to suspend the army, and waited for the return of the Shishan Academy's wandering and lecturing army, and both sides encircled the Xianwang Mansion.

There are still more than four months before Yunyou's army returns home, so Shang San'er resigned and went home to have a look.

The city is full of my own efforts, and I am always away for other people's affairs, so where can I feel relieved?

And when you call and call, you will see dead people, and you can only sleep with pillows at night. How can there be nephrite jade at home that is warm and fragrant?

Lu Wei asked Tu Zhuang and other five ninth-rank immortals to stay, but the one surnamed Shang refused, saying that Uncle Zhao must miss his son, and others also miss his family, go back and have a rest, and when there is something to ask, come again, no will be delayed.

Who asked the sheriff to scare people in the green willow, Shang San'er didn't keep an eye on him, so he didn't worry.

There is no way to take the hob meat left and right, so I have to follow him.

Before leaving, Shang San'er asked again: "I am a real person. I know that the sheriff's mansion still needs to reward meritorious service. Now that I have got the magic weapon, I don't want to fight for anything else. Young female immortals and maids, those who are not good at rewarding people, can be transferred to my family? If it exceeds the number of merit rewards, I will buy them with merit leaves, don’t just send them to the quarry, it’s a waste of money!”

Lu Wei answered him: "If you don't need merit leaves, you can exchange them with Qionghua dew, and before the next battle, I will send you an extra ten thousand catties of wine. Money is a little tight right now, so let's go on credit first!"

Shang San'er felt distressed when he sold ten thousand catties of wine on credit, more than 600 leaves. After thinking about it, he said, "I gave it to the sheriff's mansion on credit, but it's still a low-ranking young woman who pays off the debt, and it will be paid within three years!"

Lu Wei nodded: "It's up to you, go!"

But Shang San'er begged for two carriages, and after leaving Longya City, he didn't just go home, but led a group of people to Nettle City first.

It's already March now, and in a few days, Ah Chou will be able to inhale the devil's energy in the Jiuqu Hidden Demon Cave next time, and his ability will increase a little bit.

Ah Chou's ability requires both immortal and demon energy to be in place, and his Golden Fairy Lady has the origin of the immortal spirit in her body, but only lacks demon energy.

Although it is said that the further you go, the slower your ability will increase, but you can't stop until you fully recover.

From Longya to Nettle, the distance to the east is only over 2000 li, which is much easier than going back home.

However, Nettle City is affiliated to Zhongshan County. Whether it is going from Green Willow or Longya, if you want to take a long way, you must pass through the boundary of General Yuntan's Mansion. Take them with you, more people feel more at ease.

Under Yun's command, Tieyiwei is the most terrifying. High-level human immortals and earth immortals don't have to worry too much. With only the legs of Taoist soldiers, there is no way to take down earth immortals and ninth-level immortals who can walk and escape in the wild.

Ah Chou had never driven a car before, so he thought it was interesting, so he took the same car as Zhao.

As they were walking on the road, Shang Saner, who was on the dog's back, asked Dong Ce: "Master Dong, the Ji family is powerful, but why doesn't it make a living in the south, instead of planning to go north instead?"

Sitting in the car, old man Dong replied: "Other reasons, the old man doesn't know, but if the Ji family wants to have a long-term foundation, they must pacify the south. Except for the Man Chu Mi family, the rest are not enemies."

He was talking about the opposite, he paused, and then he continued: "As far as the old man knows, Jin and Chu are separated by thousands of miles of big swamp, and Man Chu has water soldiers who are not afraid of water monsters, and they can cross the big swamp. However, the Ji family is difficult to cross, and has always been able to defend, adding birds and carrying soldiers, and it is easy to fall. The only place where the Ji family can train a navy is the Xiashui River in the north. Because of the severe flood that year, his family Everyone hates the Xiashui River God deeply, and they have offended him so much that they have long since become enemies, the River God will not allow his family to train soldiers on the river, and even pack birds are not allowed to pass!"

"To start a war, when the God of the River does not hesitate to damage his merits and morals, he can flood many cities in the Southern Jin Dynasty by breaking a dike! Ji's map of Dongshan County is mostly to open the way, and eventually he will go east to take the north bank of Xiashui. Sanchuan Mansion, occupying a favorable location, wait to divert the Xiashui, and then fight with the God of the River! Afterwards, train the water army and Dao soldiers, and then fight against the Man Chu Mi clan!"

Shang San'er really didn't know about these things, so he just said: "I heard people say that General Yuntan's Mansion had contacts with the Southern Jin Dynasty for a long time. Uncle Dong said that the Ji family can't tolerate the Lu family, but the Yun family can be tolerated." ?”

Old man Dong was suspicious: "Where did you get the news?"

Mrs. Lu already knew about this matter, but Shang San'er listened to Jin Xian's explanation, and was unwilling to go into details, so she replied vaguely: "Listen to what a senior said, it can't be fake!"

The old man in the carriage didn't ask any further questions, and twirled his beard: "I still wonder, the Yun family has been holding back for many years, why is it that this time they are willing to help the palace of the virtuous prince and drag the Lu family back, because they want to help the Southern Jin Dynasty !"

After I figured it out, I explained to the outside of the car: "It's not difficult to guess, the Ji family covets the method of thick local pawns and Taoist soldiers, just in case; General Yuntan's mansion wants to rely on the big tree and rest in peace for a few years! The ancestor of Yun's Earth Immortal is only at the second level, but the surroundings are full of hostility. Once something happens, he will not be able to deal with it. On the shore, only his family can rule the roost, and the two families are more scheming than anyone else!"

Nodding his head, Shang San'er finally asked: "My master also passed down the law of Dao Bing. Those in the Kun Dao Mansion have already learned it, but they have not practiced in formation yet, and the number of people is still too small. If they form a battalion, Maybe there is such a skill as Tie Yiwei?"

"Disaster!"

This is when Tu Zhuang interjected: "A battalion of strong soldiers, besides Taoism and picking soldiers, must also practice formations, learn changes, and observe iron laws. Your Taoist soldiers will choose a pretty lady and ask her to wait for tea and water. It’s okay to warm the bed and give birth, but I’m afraid it won’t be soft when you go into battle? There are enough people, and the result is also a powder formation, how can it smell like killing?”

Hearing what Tu Zhuang said, Granny Chen in the other carriage was not happy: "Bah! Why can't women form a team when they only watch people through the cracks in the door?"

Tu Zhuang laughed "hehe" twice, and only replied: "I forgot you were here, we said the wrong thing, so admit it, don't quarrel with me!"

Shang San'er also laughed, and after a while, he tentatively asked: "If not, the old woman will argue, and when I go back, will I go to the Kun Dao Mansion to help me train soldiers?"

In terms of toughness, Granny Chen will never lose to men, but military training is about dealing with people, not cursing, but she has self-knowledge and replied: "My son and daughter-in-law are slow. What about Ye, how can you have that kind of skill?"

Shang San'er could only sigh.

I can't find a high-ranking female soldier for military training, but I don't want to change to a male soldier.

Except for the five maids who were originally Chang Jiujiu, the rest of the maidens were all presented as gifts, and they already had some foundation in practice, which was faster than raising them from scratch, and more importantly, they were not burdened by ordinary family members.

Most of the other low-level immortals are not willing to ask Gai to learn the way of Taoist soldiers to judge the future. She is waiting, and it is not for this price that she should practice. , the hearts of the people in Ancheng.

Another one, Yingyingyanyan, help me with some things, it's also good to look at.

According to the speculative situation, Lu's victory is imminent, Lu Zhaojun no longer has to hope, when he goes home, he still coaxes Mingyue, telling her to spend more time in Kundao Mansion.

While he was waiting to talk on the road, at a certain street corner in Nettle City, a divination master with a "Iron Mouth God's Decision" on his shoulder suddenly appeared.

The people around didn't notice it at all.

But before he made any movement, Gua Shi frowned slightly, turned around and disappeared again.

Two breaths later, Huang clothes and yellow crown, with a long sword on his back, and a treasure seal with chi pattern and Dao seal hanging from his waist, flashed at the corner of the street, looked left and right, and then flashed away again.

Pedestrians around and the City God in the city didn't notice anything either.

In the early morning of the same day, the north gate of Beishan City of King Xian's Mansion, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, was opened, and several caravans who had been waiting outside for a few days and wanted to take advantage of the war to make a fortune entered the city.

The Lu family's army has temporarily retreated, but when the Shishan Academy brigade returns from traveling and giving lectures, the battle must begin again, and Wang Gan also needs to prepare more supplies.

In order to accumulate wealth, in addition to the special products of the nine secluded passages in the cities under the rule, and the fishing grounds are exhausted to collect more to sell, the exchanges with merchants are also indispensable.

Wang Gan also thought that some luxurious and useless things should be sold if they can be sold.

During the extraordinary period, Wang's investigation was also strict, but in the caravan that entered the city on the first day, three of them paid a full amount of silver. The more eye-catching, the rest really don't see any difference.

All merchants don't need to report to the concierge department. After entering the city, they stay in the guest house to settle the goods. After taking a shower, the three of them will play in the city.

As the main city of Wang's family, the Daoist Mansion in Beishan City is large enough, but the eight battalions of his own family, and the seven battalions of iron guards from Yuntan, a total of fifteen battalions of Daoist soldiers, could not be stationed, so they transferred the eighth battalion of their own. Enter the city lord's mansion, the yamen's mansion, and the government's mansion, and live in different places, and the Taoist mansion is left to Tie Yiwei.

The three ordinary merchants, each embroidered with pine, bamboo and plum on their cloaks, wandered around for a while, and for some reason, they came to the door of the Dao Bing Mansion, looking in with their heads out of curiosity.

Among the four iron guards on duty in front of the gate, someone frowned and scolded: "Where is the savage? Don't you know the rules?"

The one embroidered with bamboo on the cloak, with a stalk on the neck: "What rules?"

Just as the Tie Yiwei was about to yell and curse, the robe of Xiumei next to him brushed past, and the four of them fell down together, all of them lost their breath.

The city god of Beishan rushed to warn, but the three of them took out the Dragon Scale Sword, Stone Mountain Inkstone, and the Map of Thousands of Armies, and they were about to enter.

From the map of thousands of troops, resisting the sudden appearance of the City God Sword regardless of damage, the other two let go and kill before the Taoist soldiers form an array and the ninth-level immortals from the Keqing Mansion arrive.

identified.

The Earth Immortal is more proficient in Taoism, and can fly and escape. When fleeing, it is faster than the ninth level.

Moreover, the three Earth Immortals teamed up and did not love to fight. Before the Immortals came to help, Qi Fei fled away. The City God and the Landwoman couldn't hold back. , you have to hate to stop.

Those three in the Dao Bing Mansion only had one or two breaths of effort, but the corpses of the Tie Yiwei lay over fifty, much more than those who died in the more than twenty days of fighting in the previous days.

The Dao Bing Mansion can only enter through the gate, and the iron guards cannot be protected by closing the streets. The King of Beishan hastily changed the rules. Those who join the caravan for the first time are not allowed to enter the city, and merchants from Dongshan County are also banned.

When Shang San'er and his party entered Nettle City, there were still a few days left for Ah Chou to absorb the magic energy, so he played around in the city first, and had a rare chance to relax.

In this nettle city, apart from Shang San'er and Ah Chou, the wine Taoist and Zhen Yaoshen also revisit their old places.

Didn't say anything, the old dog was ordered to go down the cave again, looking for strange medicine.

In this city, besides the wine Taoist, Shang San'er also recognized the other two nine-rankers who went down the cave to find strange medicines to sharpen their morality and earn money. The son of the city lord fell down, and there was a new ninth-level earner who earned merit leaves.

Shang San'er chatted with the newcomer, but he still couldn't get hired.

But this nettle city, either for tempering or for making money, should be regarded as the place where high-level immortals love to come. Go to Chenghuang Temple to offer incense.

If it wasn't for Shang San'er's forceful pull, Ah Chou really didn't want to pay respects to the Yin God.

During the daytime, the temple was lively, many common people were offering incense, the two of them waited outside the gate for a while, they didn't seem to be idle, so they went straight in.

The City God appeared, and when the wealthy young man and the ugly monster rushed in to salute, all the people were frightened and their feet limp.

Avoiding the gift from the city god, the unscrupulous city lord who came from afar smiled and comforted the ordinary people: "It's nothing, nothing to do with each other! But please step back for a while, let me have a few words with the city god!"

After all the people had finished running, Shang San'er said to the Nettle City God: "We came to offer incense, we have something to ask for, and we dare not accept the City God's gift!"

The two Earth Immortals did not conceal their cultivation, they would have to make a lot of vows in order to receive a stick of incense and salute that is in line with love and righteousness. The City God said, "Please tell me, fellow Taoist!"

Shang San'er explained: "I am the owner of the Green Willow City. The city is suffering from demons. I want to hire some high-ranking immortals to help guard it. I just hate to meet them. Seeing the excitement of Nettle City, I thought, ask the city god to help. Leave some words for those who entered the city."

Hearing what he said, Chenghuang Xuying had a wry smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, my city lord also wants to hire more high-ranking officials, but I dare not pass on the words!"

Shang San'er smiled: "Each has its own fate, what is the difference? Since you have already entered the temple, whether the matter will be accomplished or not, my brother and I should both offer incense sticks. After listening to the words, the city god can just ask your city lord!"

"My home, Luliu City, is the place of karma in Da Luo. I would like to hire someone to guard the city, and he can bear some karma for him. Those who only owe people's lives, destroy their families, and dig people's ancestral graves are not included. The rest can be discussed in person. Talk about it, don't force it, it's always a meritorious deed to protect the people from evil and robbery. Compared with those who are thugs, they have a much worse reputation? Besides, those who lack merit and virtue are willing to be hired, and I can do it too. For borrowing, you can pay back with annual salary, and the ninth-level immortal can borrow up to six hundred leaves, and if the earth immortal is willing to come, you can add more!"

Six hundred leaves is the price that the Lu family offered a reward for the head of the owner of the fleeing city, and it is also the property that Fei Ruyi prepared to buy the star-studded black gold stones.

If the City God really sent a message to the Nettle City Lord, he really had to agree, and he could pass the message on his behalf.

After Shang San'er and A Chou paid respects to the incense, they went to the city lord's mansion to pay their respects, presenting jars of Qionghua dew and small bags of Longshan tea.

In the name of bearing cause and effect and borrowing merit leaves, how can we add a few talents who can suppress the corners of Lu Wei's raised mouth again!

I went back to the Protocol Department to think about it for one night, but I thought it was not enough to spread it in Nettle City. If the same thing was said, I also asked Qizhen Pavilion to help spread it to the outside, especially to the west of Dilong Mountain, which I have not been to.

Delay for a few more days, wait for Ah Chou to absorb enough magic energy, and then return to Green Willow together.

Going back to the city is to the southwest, more than four thousand miles away, and also passes the boundary of General Yuntan's mansion.

Fortunately, Yucheng avoided, and everything was safe.

He waited all the way without encountering any accidents, but outside Houtu City, General Yuntan's Mansion, there were three ordinary merchants who changed their attire and entered the city with the caravan.

It also caused chaos in the city, and there were only four ninth-level immortals left, and the ancestor of the earth immortal was only second-level, so the defense was even more difficult, and hundreds of iron guards suffered.

There is no need to make a few more scenes, the Yun family is already distressed.
