In the Zhongfu mansion, except for the wives and concubines who lived in the 32nd and 33rd courtyards, there was no one in the courtyards after the 10th level.
So only a few people looked up to the sky, looking at the galloping figures with envy in their eyes.
For example, Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu were practicing martial arts in the garden.
Zhong Yan did not favor one over the other, he landed on the ground and took the two of them with him, and flew away happily.
Three beauties with pretty faces rosy.
Li Jingqiu has a quiet temper and is always a little nervous while holding his pink fist.
Jiang Huan was more lively and even laughed out loud, like a lark's cry that echoed between heaven and earth.
Originally, Zhong Yan planned to take the children to experience it, but gave up after thinking about it. They were still young, and Qiuxiang would take them to the city to see and learn from time to time. She was childish and easy to talk about things.
More than an hour later.
The four returned to the ground.
Zhong Yan let out a breath, the secret passage consumes a lot of money.
This trip consumed more than half of the energy in the body.
This is also the reason why most Qi Refining monks are not willing to wield swords for a long time unless there is something urgent.
Keeping the vitality in the body abundant is the basic rule for monks when going out.
However, Zhong Yan is not worried about this for the time being. He has no shortage of spirit stones in his hand, and he can recover quickly with spirit stones.
"Master, you are so amazing! You have reached the seventh level of Qi refining so quickly!"
Jiang Huan smiled and praised, his bright eyes were good at seeing, and there was infinite yearning hidden in his eyes.
With Zhong Yan's progress over the years, even if the mortal wives and concubines in the mansion don't know much about spiritual practice, they guess that her husband has great hope of building a foundation.
As mortals, they only have a few decades to live, and their days together are limited.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "You work hard to practice martial arts. If you can become a martial arts master in the future, you can travel freely in the world."
Jiang Huan nodded vigorously: "This slave will definitely be diligent and hardworking!"
Li Jingqiu nodded: "Yes."
But in fact, it is very difficult to enter the master realm.
Even Tang Xiaoshu, who has the best martial arts qualifications in the mansion, has little hope.
Speaking of Tang Xiaoshu.
By the way.
Two months ago, the last time Zhong Yan had fun with her, the system rewards changed for the first time.
[Kung Fu Enlightenment +1, Talisman Experience +2, Cultivation Experience +1]
The three rewards are complete, and the Fu Dao experience has increased.
It was obvious that they had been in love for a long time, and Tang Xiaoshu's feelings for him changed subtly.
Zhong Yan was happy to ignore it and continued. As time went by, she might be able to completely instigate her rebellion.
As for the monks' concubines Su Yunxi and Wen Yongshan.
Zhong Yan once suspected that it might be an undercover agent planted by Qin Ben.
But now it can basically be ruled out.
The experience of the two has always been similar, and the reward items are the same as Yu Qingyao.
Either it’s both, or it’s neither.
The possibility of both is too small.
Therefore, Zhong Yan speculated that if the three people brought by Lin Xuelan really hid Qin Ben's work, then the undercover should be Zhen Rong, who happened to be killed.
Noon.
Yu Qingyao and Wen Yongshan returned from 'Qinghu Villa'.
Brought back a piece of confirmed news - the Yang family is about to be established.
Zhong Yan was not surprised at all. Last year, a large number of buildings were completed in the 'Qinghu Villa' outside the city, forming a large villa.
The entire alley in Leping Lane, 18th Street in the South District of the city, has been cleared out and is being repaired and renovated to become a monk market.
Yu Qingyao's eyes flickered and said: "The time is set on the 30th of the month, the same day as Jingqiu and their wedding banquet. Zhong Lang, do you think Yang Yanqing did it on purpose?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just postpone the wedding banquet."
Yu Qingyao nodded and said: "Fortunately, only a few invitations were sent out. I originally planned to send them out at the same time as the party."
"By the way, Zhong Lang, there are more than 600 people at this party. I took a closer look. I can't figure out the specific realm of more than 40 people..."
However, there are only eighteen later monks registered in the Keqing Mansion.
Zhong Yan asked: "Have you found out the specific conditions for the Yang family to establish a clan?"
Yu Qingyao: "Well, someone talked in private. Yang Yanqing and a woman from the Zhou family in Baiye City gave birth to a spirit-rooted heir who has entered cultivation. The number of people is exactly five. The Zhou family provides a first-level low-grade spiritual vein."
"I heard that she has good qualifications. She stayed in the Zhou family to practice and only showed up on the day of the family establishment ceremony. I just don't know why the girl from the Zhou family didn't marry into Qingyang Yang Mansion."
Zhong Yan was surprised and said with a smile: "What else could it be, an illegitimate child?"
Yang Yanqing had a Taoist companion and two monk concubines, both of whom were monks. This situation was obviously a secret affair with a woman from the Zhou family. The woman was already married and could not get married.
Otherwise, either a girl from the Zhou family will marry to Qingyang, or Yang Yanqing will go to Baiye City to marry into his wife.
"This guy has good skills and good luck."
Zhong Yan murmured, originally guessing that the other party was just like him, looking for a child with spiritual roots to pretend to be his heir.
Yu Qingyao looked over and asked softly: "Zhong Lang, if we establish a clan in the future, will it also be in Qingyang? Or somewhere else?"
Zhong Yan only said: "Qingyang City is good."
There is competition everywhere, and you cannot destroy the Yang family and take the lead.
…
The next day.
Keqing Mansion Conference.
A total of 512 monks, registered and unregistered, were present.
Zhong Yan scanned everything with his powerful consciousness.
There are thirty-seven in the late stage of Qi refining, four of them are at the ninth level of Qi refining, nine are at the eighth level of Qi refining, and the rest are at the seventh level of Qi refining.
There are two more that I can’t see through!
One of them is the big fat Taoist Duobao Pang Baodu.
"Is your consciousness stronger than mine? Or do you use secret methods to hide it like me, or do you have special treasures?"
Zhong Yan was secretly frightened. To the outside world, the other party's cultivation level was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but in reality he probably had not reached the foundation level.
As the two looked at each other, surprise and suspicion flashed across Pang Baodu's eyes. His small eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a big smile.
Zhong Yan smiled back and looked at the other person in the corner of the square.
It was a female monk wearing a purple dress whose appearance could not be clearly seen - because the other person's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, distorted and blurred from time to time, revealing herself at the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining.
Qingyang City is located on the border, backed by mountains and the sea. It was originally a remote place.
Now it has been improved and managed well by Qin Ben. It is about to become the first big city on the border and the first city in the Yan Kingdom to trial the 'Ke Qing Mansion'. In addition, there are no sects or big family forces nearby, so it will inevitably attract many scattered people. build.
There will be more and more in the future.
Zhong Yan looked at Qin Ben on the high platform and couldn't help but secretly thought: "I'm afraid he won't be able to hold the position of city lord for long."
Qin Ben himself intends to go to the battlefield of Wei, and Qingyang City, a well-managed and tax-paying city, will also become a place of competition.
Consensual.
Changing the city owner is just a matter of time.
And if Qin Ben leaves, the new city lord will most likely not be from the faction to which he belongs.
If they both belong to the Qin Ben camp, then the royal family will definitely arrange new retinue mages from the capital to check and balance.
Back to business.
After a concluding speech, Qin Ben forcefully appointed the retinue mages Zhong Yan and Bai Siyuan in the name of the royal family.
In order to quell dissatisfaction and controversy, he added another election quota and decided it through a battle of wits.
Now that the four ninth-level Qi Refiners are here, they must have the will and appear one after another. The remaining people with lower cultivation levels will naturally be silent.
After a so far not fierce competition, the white-haired old man named Tao Ran won and became the third retinue mage in Qingyang City.
After the show.
Qin Ben called Zhong Yan to a place alone and said: "Master Zhong, there will be more monks in the city next year, so we can no longer appoint him to the post like this. Master still needs to make some achievements. Then I can speak in the capital and strongly recommend him. "
