The day after the wedding banquet.
Night time.
After a busy day, Jiang Ping returned to her residence and sat at the table, lost in thought, with sadness appearing on her brows.
Xiaoqing stepped forward to pour tea, observed her face, and asked carefully: "Madam, are you worried?"
Jiang Ping pursed her lips. She felt irritated when she thought about what happened during the day. She felt so tight that she couldn't let it out.
In the past, Yang Liuer was the only one with a sinister attitude, while the other concubines were at least polite on the surface.
However, Gu Baiyu, who had not had much contact with her, suddenly made sarcastic remarks to her and ridiculed her in front of others.
She racked her brain and couldn't figure out where she offended the other party.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that Gu Baiyu officially married into the Zhong Mansion and looked down on herself, feeling that she was a mortal and unworthy of being her husband's wife.
Xiaoqing hesitated and said: "Madam, is it Mrs. Liu'er who is targeting you again? Why does she have it?"
"She violated the family rules. You did nothing wrong, but she deliberately stirred up trouble and affected the unity of the family!"
"Yinnu, you should tell the master, and the master will definitely make the decision for you and treat her!"
Jiang Ping stared at it and said: "Xiaoqing, don't say this outside. If it reaches your husband's ears, it may mean that I am ignorant and making a fuss. I will be more cautious in what I do and say in the future. As long as they have a clear conscience, let them go. My husband can distinguish right from wrong. Know who is right and who is wrong.”
"Yes, madam, I will remember it." Xiaoqing pursed her lips, feeling unwilling to do so.
The master was made things difficult for him, and his maid was also bullied by other maids.
At this time, the maid reminded outside: "I've seen the master!"
The two looked at each other, Jiang Ping stood up immediately, straightened her clothes and walked out quickly, wondering in her heart, thinking that her husband should be looking for his newlywed concubine at this time, why did he come here...
"Husband!"
Zhong Yan looked at her face, took Bai Nenyu's hand and sat down at the table, while instilling vitality.
"Are you busy these days?"
A feeling of comfort came through her body, and Jiang Ping's heart felt even warmer. All her depression disappeared in an instant, and she smiled and said, "I'm not tired, Ping'er is not that squeamish, thank you husband!"
"How can you and I thank you?"
Zhong Yanchang rubbed his cheek with his hand and said: "There are too many people in the house. From now on, you will have to work hard to control the backyard. If you encounter difficulties, just come to me."
Jiang Ping nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, husband, don't worry, I will definitely organize the whole house and prevent you from being distracted."
Xiaoqing hesitated to speak: "..."
Chatted for a while.
Husband and wife join hands to enter the account.
Zhong Yan fed the few elite soldiers to Jiang Ping, making her extremely satisfied, in a happy mood, and her pretty face was filled with sweetness and happiness.
"Ping'er, my husband is going to Fangshi tomorrow. Do you want to go with us?"
The spring tide has not subsided, and Jiang Ping, who was weak, was stunned for a moment, in disbelief, she stood up and blinked and asked: "Is it true, husband?"
"That's still false! Your martial arts strength is no longer weak now. You should go outside to see it."
Jiang Huan was deeply moved, his eyes were a little moist, and he leaned forward to put on his red lips.
After being married to Zhong Mansion for many years, apart from three spring outings outside the city, this was the first time she traveled far away to accompany her husband to the city.
The next day.
The two of them put on facial masks to disguise themselves, and only asked Zhong Xiaozhong, who was at the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, to accompany them.
"Master, this morning 'Feiyi Pavilion' sent a letter from Master Huo Xian and a storage bag."
Feiyi Pavilion is affiliated to the City Lord's Mansion and specializes in long-distance spiritual bird messaging.
The monks' items that need to be carried by flying spirit beasts have to be transferred through Yangquanfang City.
In the future, this business will be replaced by the Yang family, the only immortal family in the city. If there is a lot of business, it will also be a lot of money.
Zhong Yan took the letter and opened it. He mainly wanted to congratulate him on his wedding banquet, and sent 60 spiritual stones and some elixirs as gifts. However, the last sentence mentioned that the application for leaving the clan had been approved, and he would go down the mountain to meet Shi Lingzhen soon. Settled together in 'Jingcheng'.
"It seems that the Fire Cloud Sect is becoming more and more chaotic..."
Zhong Yan murmured in his heart, counting the days, the two of them should have set off by now.
Jiang Ping took a quick look and tried to ask: "Husband, what did Uncle Huo say?"
"Good thing, he's getting married soon." Zhong Yan handed her the letter directly.
Jiang Ping's heart moved slightly, and she continued to look at it and asked, "Is it with that Immortal Shi Shi?"
"Um."
Jiang Ping glanced at her husband's face and whispered: "Husband, I feel that Shi Xianshi and Uncle Huo are not a good match. If my uncle still cares about her face when he acts, I'm afraid he will feel unhappy."
Zhong Yan sighed and said: "In the world, nothing can go as expected. If you ask for it, you will lose it."
Jiang Ping nodded and asked, "Husband, is Jingcheng a fairy city?"
"Yes, one of the three great fairy cities in the Yan Kingdom."
…
Two days later.
When the three of them arrived in Yangquanfang City, the guard was replaced by a female monk with a stern face.
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, unable to see through the opponent's realm. It could be seen that the city was not at peace now, and a strong foundation builder was sent to guard it.
After calling "Senior" with his fists clasped, Zhong Yan went straight to the "Ten Thousand Beasts Hall" and handed over the spirit stones for buying monster beasts.
By the way, I inquired with Ding Yin and found out that the female guard was a second-level core disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect who was transferred from Wangcheng City.
The cause was that on the first day of his wedding, a robbery and murder occurred at the entrance of Fangshi.
A disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining and three guards who were on duty at the middle stage of Qi Refining were killed, and many others were injured.
Duan An, the original captain on duty, was seriously injured and was carried back to the Five Elements Sect.
Zhong Yan was secretly shocked: "This is too bold!"
"What do you think! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to carry so many spiritual stones with me!"
"The person who took action was a foundation-building master. In the blink of an eye, he knocked down one piece, grabbed the storage bag and flew away. The foundation-building experts in Fang City rushed to the scene, and the person was long gone."
"I heard that those Fire Cloud Sect disciples were sending materials to Blackwater City, worth more than 10,000 spirit stones. Apparently they were targeted in Fire Cloud Pavilion."
As he said that, Ding Yin wiped his mustache with his thumb and said with a smile: "Thanks to Daoist fellow Zhang and Fellow Daoist Han for coming to your house for a wedding banquet, otherwise they would probably have to join the team on that trip, and life or death would be unpredictable."
"In short, be careful and don't expose your wealth when buying and selling goods. Nowadays, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in the market, and there are many late-stage casual cultivators..."
After leaving the "Ten Thousand Beasts Hall", Zhong Yan took Jiang Ping and Zhong Xiaozhong around for two days and listened to news from all sides.
He didn't have much to worry about. Yuan Ziyi was following her. Although she was not strong in combat at the moment, she was still building a foundation and was fast enough. It would not be difficult to escape when encountering trouble.
Jiang Ping, who didn't hear Ding Yin's words, was as carefree as a mother of a seven-year-old child, as happy as a seventeen-year-old girl, just like when Yan Sandao came to Fangshi for the first time.
On the third day, Zhong Yan went to Huoyun Pavilion and sold the made talismans. The quantity was not much, only about 600 spiritual stones.
They also learned that Lin Zhengping resigned from his position as the shopkeeper of the Talisman Trading Room and left Fangshi to go into seclusion somewhere.
Then I went to the third floor and met 'Shopkeeper Zhou Tongzhou' introduced by Lin Zhengping. He sold some of Li Henian's remaining spiritual materials and obtained more than 8,000 spiritual stones.
In the end, nearly 20,000 spirit stones were spent to buy various materials, mainly materials for formations, puppets, talismans, and elixirs.
Early on the fourth day, the three of them headed back home.
"Is it fun?"
Jiang Ping smiled brightly and nodded vigorously: "Yes! I heard Sister Sandao say that I am very yearning for you. It would be more interesting to come here in person. There are many rare things that are not found in the mortal city..."
Fly hundreds of miles.
Zhong Xiaozhong said: "Master, the man behind has been following us."
"Ignore her."
Zhong Yan was not flying very fast, and there was always a man and a horse on the ground following him at a distance of seventy or eighty meters.
Stayed overnight in Qingyuan Village.
Sure enough, the Liu family has been doing long-term business here.
Regardless of whether they are mortals or monks, they have to pay a 'protection fee' when entering the village, but the two spiritual stones have been changed to five prayer beads.
And one spiritual stone can buy a bottle of prayer beads, with one hundred beads.
So the protection fee is not expensive.
Noon the next day.
Arriving soon at Maple Grove.
When Jiang Ping saw her husband's forehead covered with fine sweat, she thought it was because flying all the time was exhausting her mana, and she felt extremely distressed.
"Husband, we are not far from Qingyang. Why don't you stop and rest for a while? You can take some elixirs and meditate to regain some energy?"
"That's fine."
After landing.
The three of them drank water. Zhong Xiaozhong stood like a pile and looked around.
Jiang Ping helped Zhong Yan pinch his legs.
Not long after.
The man and horse that followed closely before disappearing appeared again in the field of vision, riding towards this side.
The three of them were alert.
Sudden.
A cry of death came from the forest, followed by an explosion on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black wearing facial masks surrounded the three people.
Jiang Ping's expression tightened, her eyes full of panic, and she drew her sword towards him.
"Hand over the storage bag or you will die!"
"How brave! A bunch of chickens and dogs got on top of me!"
Zhong Yan looked calm, raised his hand to seal the condensed protective shield to protect the three of them, and pointed his fingers to launch a Taoist energy attack.
But at this time.
The man in blue shirt running on horseback jumped up, flew into the air, stretched out his palm to defeat the protective shield, and shouted in a man's voice: "Kill!"
Zhong Yan glared, pushed Jiang Ping, and shouted: "No! Xiaozhong, cover my wife and leave first!"
"yes!"
"Husband!"
However, after Jiang Ping shouted, her body suddenly lost control and flew away, but she was detained by someone high up in the sky.
Zhong Yan waved a talisman and knocked back the black-clothed warriors around him. He suddenly jumped to the sky and wanted to rescue.
The man in blue shook his palm again, and then grabbed the void.
Bang~
When Zhong Yan snatched Jiang Huan away, he saw a green palm print attacking him. He immediately turned around to protect Jiang Huan behind him. As a result, he was hit hard in the face by the palm print, and he let out a "wow" sound. Blood flowed and fell to the ground, causing Jiang Ping to scream in horror: "Husband!"
The storage bag was also taken.
"withdraw!"
The man in blue shouted and flew away in the air, followed by a group of men in black who retreated into the woods like a tide and disappeared quickly.
"Husband!" Jiang Ping burst into tears and helplessly wiped the blood from her husband's mouth and face, "Husband, how are you..."
"master!"
Zhong Xiaozhong shouted, quickly took out the communication charm and chanted the spell.
"Go back to... the city..." Zhong Yan said two words weakly, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and passed out.
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Huanlihua burst into tears, and immediately helped Zhong Yan up, urging his true energy to flow to his back.
"Madam, I'm here!" Zhong Xiaozhong stepped forward to take over after the interrogation.
"Need not!"
Jiang Huan wiped the corners of his eyes, bit his lip and ran forward behind his back, tears falling uncontrollably, several drops at a time.
At this moment, she felt guilty and regretful.
If he hadn't suggested stopping to rest, he wouldn't have been ambushed.
If it were not to save himself, the husband would not have received that blow.
If something happens to your husband...
"No, no..."
Jiang Huan shook his head repeatedly in his heart, trying his best to circulate the zhenqi in his body to infuse his feet, and his speed became even faster.
Zhong Xiaozhong followed closely, but he didn't look worried at all. He looked towards Zhong Yan and saw the unconscious master lying on his back, his eyes narrowed and he blinked.
The corner of Zhong Xiaozhong's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart, I really don't understand why the master did this.
…
