Chapter 164 The Xiao Family Plan
"Senior is right."

Xiao Ruyu raised his hand and cupped his fists, but he didn't want to accept his favor because of these thousands of mortals, so he changed the subject and said respectfully:
"It's just that the elders in the family specially instructed the younger generation before leaving the house that the closer the two families are, the more these trivial things should be separated cleanly, so that there will be no suspicion. The younger generation will keep it in mind and dare not take advantage of the nobles."

Li Tongya saw him so clean, and responded with a degree of advance and retreat, he felt a little bit high in his heart, and said softly:

"Then what do you mean?"

"Every batch of mortals will be delivered to Lixia County, and my Xiao family will subsidize them. One thousand mortals will receive one spirit stone."

The price given by Xiao Ruyu is considered kind. After all, Qingchizong has a bad leader, and all the families look at this Shangzong's wink and act. Under no control, the mortals under the rule have always asked for whatever they want, and never regarded it as important. Resources, some cultivators have special needs, they will value some, and the rest are even less important.

"Then let's settle it like this."

Li Tongya responded, and Xiao Ruyu nodded, and said again:

"There is one more thing for the younger generation. The ancient Li Dao has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has been lost in the mountains and forests. Wolves, tigers, monsters and beasts are rampant. As for the families on the Dao, they have cut off communication. Only after they have practiced Qi can they communicate in the county. It is really inconvenient."

"My Xiao family wants to rebuild the ancient Li road, and set up post points at the front and back ends of each house. My Xiao family will fill in the gaps, so that many fetal-breathing monks and mortal merchants can travel to and from the county... let all the families on the ancient Li road come together. benefit."

"Oh?"

Li Tongya didn't expect the Xiao family to do such a thankless thing, he hesitated slightly, and said softly:
"The Xiao family will take the lead in this matter, and it will be of great benefit to my Li family. Naturally, there is no reason to disagree... But forgive me, this matter is thankless, why are the nobles bothering?"

Li Tongya is not a nosy person, but the two families have been friends for many years, Xiao Yuansi and Xiao Chuting both have kindness to the Li family, so they persuaded each other.

"Thank you senior for your concern."

Xiao Ruyu met many families all the way in Guli Road, and each family readily agreed. It is estimated that there are still many people who secretly ridiculed in their hearts. Only Li Tongya said a word of comfort, and then shook his head slightly, explaining:

"The Xiao family's alchemy and weapon refining veins cooperate with many families and raise [-]% of the monks in the radiation range of Lixia County. It's really uncomfortable, my family has taken a fancy to Gu Lidao's spiritual object... Ruyu is inconvenient to reveal the extra words, senior, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Li Tongya, combined with Xiao Chuting's silent transformation into the Purple Mansion, was startled in his heart, had some guesses, and said in a deep voice:
"It's unnecessary to say it's inconvenient."

Xiao Ruyu nodded slightly, discussed the location of the post station, and made a lot of arrangements, before saying goodbye.

Li Xuanling sent him out of the courtyard, watched him drive eastward, and then returned to the courtyard, seeing Li Tongya holding the teacup on his head in silence, followed by silence for a while, and asked:

"Father, the Xiao family has connections with the families of Zhilinyuan and Linghai County, and has been doing business for many years. Is this because they are afraid that someone will cut off the flow of goods to the east? Who has such great energy to make the Zhu families Dare not to associate with the Xiao family?"

Li Tongya put down the tea bowl, shook his head, and replied:
"I'm afraid the Xiao family will break away from the Qingchi Sect and stand on their own."

"what?!"

Li Xuanling was stunned, then he was horrified, and said in a shy voice:
"This... the Blue Pond Sect now has three Zifu early-stagers, one Zifu mid-stage, and Chi Wei who is at the top of the Zifu... He... how dare they?"

"The Xiao family is waiting for Chi Wei to sit down."

Li Tongya sorted it out for a moment, and with [-]% to [-]% certainty in his heart, he squinted his eyes and said softly:
"Xiao Chuting has become the Purple Mansion, and he already has the qualifications to stand on the stage. Didn't the Chen family back then also stand on their own when they left the Purple Mansion? It's just that among the Purple Mansions of the Qingchi sect, only Chi Wei killed Xiao Chuting. The strength on the spot, once Chi Wei died, the Xiao family would break away from the Qingchi sect logically and occupy the shattered Lixia County, backed by the mushroom forest and Moon Lake, the Qingchi sect may even have to offer a congratulatory gift."

"Zi Mansion..."

Li Xuanling muttered, sighed deeply, and replied:
"Zhujia and the three sects and seven sects are just tools in the hands of the Zifu..."

"It's just that once you leave the Qingchi Sect, there are no families in the counties who dare to go out of the country to do business with the Xiao family. The Xiao family will naturally look for new production areas and dumping targets, so they have to go west, repair the ancient Li road, and set the goal of not having big land. In the county town, there are mushroom groves and moon-watching lake houses scattered all over the place."

After Li Tongya finished speaking, the confirmation in his heart became a little more confident, and he thought to himself:
"It's just how my Li family can protect itself and gain benefits in such a great turmoil... The misfortune will be diverted to the east, and the current situation of Yu's family dominating Wangyue Lake will be changed."

----

Li Yuanjiao stood in the courtyard holding a sword, and in front of him was a girl with curly hair, her almond eyes were staring straight at the sword in his hand. The two confronted each other in the courtyard for a while, Li Yuanjiao saw that she had a light foot, and probably walked away It was a clever and repeated way, and with a flick of the wooden sword used for practice in his hand, he moved close to her face.

The girl picked and swept the cork spear in her hand, took a few steps back, and put her left hand against Li Yuanjiao's wooden sword, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Brother Jiao, you are so cunning."

"Humph."

Li Yuanjiao snorted softly, drew back his sword and retreated, and replied:

"Sly or not, but Qinghong, your marksmanship is fairly solid, and you can block a few moves from me."

Li Qinghong giggled, knowing that he had actually been at a disadvantage earlier, so he had to say aggrievedly:

"There is a swordsmanship inheritance at home, so it's easy to learn. My spearmanship has already invited the best spear master down the mountain, but it's also thankless..."

"There is a swordsmanship inheritance at home that can be practiced. It is easy to practice what kind of spear. The spearmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master. If no one teaches it, I am afraid it will be difficult for a lifetime to learn."

Li Yuanjiao curled his lips, Li Qinghong put the spear on the ground, and said in a childish voice:

"That sword technique gave me a headache, so my father brought many weapons for me to choose from. People said that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger, so I took a gun. Who knew that my father was very happy and told me to practice hard. Practice like this."

Seeing that it was Li Xuanling's decision, Li Yuanjiao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​telling her to practice swordsmanship. He hung the wooden sword on the wall and tidied up his robes. Her face was slightly flushed due to strenuous exercise, and she looked like a pretty girl.

The courtyard door rang twice, and a respectful voice came:

"My lord, madam is calling you over!"

"understood."

Li Yuanjiao responded, and seeing an old servant standing with his head bowed outside the courtyard, who had always served his mother, said in a low voice:
"What happened?"

"My son, there are more and more people coming to Dongshan, and they say it's... Mujiaoman... he died of serious injuries, and he left the night before."

Li Yuanjiao's eyes lit up, and he didn't have any feelings about the death of his uncle who had never met before. Instead, his heart was moved. Seeing Li Qinghong laughing, he turned his head and asked:
"How?"

Although Li Qinghong didn't know the details, but she vaguely had a natural intuition or keen sense of the situation to remind her. Li Qinghong pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, it's a good thing anyway!"

"hey-hey."

Li Yuanjiao walked out of the yard quickly, ran outside excitedly, and said with a smile:
"There are 26 tribes in Dongshan Yue, nine towns, all of which will be owned by my family soon!"
