Yi Huo took Yong Chi with him and walked slowly to the Shangju Villa.
Both of them were very nervous, because Shang Jun's Villa was the residence of the banished immortal.
The banished immortal is a man from heaven, and his residence must be the Immortal Cave.
Noble, mysterious, and fairy-like...
Soon, the beautiful imagination was shattered by the cruel reality.
The gate of Shangjun Courtyard is also built on the ground, not on the white clouds.
There is also a fence in front of the gate and a small cabin next to the fence.
Some people are gorgeously dressed, have big bellies, and their faces are shiny. At first glance, they look like ordinary people who cannot be more vulgar. After paying the money, these people received a sign and then entered Shangjun Courtyard.
Yi Huo was a little confused and looked at Yong Chi next to him: "You can enter by paying money?"
Yong Chi laughed dryly: "It seems so."
Yi Huo sighed and walked to the hut with a disappointed mood.
There was a half-grown child sitting in the hut, wiping his nose and reading a book.
Yihuo coughed dryly and said to the child, "I want to see the banished immortal."
The half-grown child stood up and looked at the harvest: "You don't have a patch on your body, so just pay 100,000 yuan."
Yi Huo was startled: "One hundred thousand dollars?"
The half-grown child hummed: "One hundred thousand dollars for a ticket. Within twelve hours, you can enter Shang Jun's Courtyard unlimited times with the ticket. It will be invalid upon expiration."
"If you want to go in, buy a ticket now. Then someone will take you to the cabin next door. There will be several ladies there who will interrogate you about your life experience and make sure that the third generation is innocent and not a traitor. Then you can go in and visit."
Yi Huo wiped the cold sweat on his head: "One hundred thousand dollars, isn't it too expensive? Can it be cheaper? How about twenty thousand?"
The child was happy: "Bargaining the price in Shangjun Courtyard? You can be considered the first one."
He waved his hand: "Don't go in without paying. Don't think I'm talkative just because I'm young."
Yihuo said helplessly: "However, I didn't bring that much money."
The child simply stopped talking to Yi Huo.
Yi Huo thought for a while and whispered to the child: "Little friend, what is your name?"
The child didn't even raise his head: "The dog is left behind."
Yi Huo said again: "Who asked you to guard the door here?"
At this time, Yihuo was a little suspicious. The kid named Gou Sheng was playing a prank. It costs 100,000 yuan to get in. How can there be such a reason in the world?
Gou Sheng glanced at Yi Huo and said calmly: "Niu Dao has been busy recently, so I will look after the door for him for a day. Everyone has to pay the entrance fee. If you don't believe it, you can ask others."
As expected, Yi Huo asked a few passers-by, and those passers-by confirmed what Gou Sheng said.
Yi Huo sighed, thought about it, took out the broken sword, and said to Gou Sheng, "Although I didn't bring any money, I do have a treasure. This is the sword used by Wu Qi. It's priceless..."
Gou Sheng glanced at the sword and said to Yi Huo: "Don't lie to me just because I'm young. If you dare to trick me again, I will call for help."
Yi Huo said sincerely: "It's true. This sword is hung in the room. If you listen carefully in the middle of the night, you can hear the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons."
Gou Sheng shouted directly to Shang Jun's courtyard: "Someone is causing trouble."
Soon, several tall and thick guards came out.
Yi Huo was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean to cause trouble, I just want to see the banished immortal. I have something important to report."
The guard asked: "What's important?"
Yi Huo said: "About the horns and dung gold."
The guards, you look at me and I look at you, they are all a little confused.
One of them said: "I know the horns, but who is the dung gold?"
Another person said: "A while ago, it seemed that a dung man came here, and later he changed his name to Tian Weng."
But Gou Sheng knew who Yi Huo was talking about. When Rita Weng visited Li Shui, he was beside him.
Gou Sheng asked Yi Huo: "Have you seen the horns?"
Yi Huo nodded hesitantly: "I see."
Gou Sheng asked again: "Where did you see it?"
Yi Huo said: "Pei County."
Gou Sheng walked out of the hut, pulled Yi Huo's sleeve and walked inside: "Oh, you didn't tell me earlier, it delayed the important event of banishing the immortal."
Several people behind also followed.
Yi Huo's identity has not been checked yet. Who knows if he is the assassin? So it's better to be careful.
…………
Li Shui is meeting Xiang Pi.
How embarrassed was Xiang Pi when he first arrived in Xianyang City? The moment he was released from the palace, he was penniless and didn't know where to live.
But now, he is well fed, warmly dressed, rosy-cheeked, and speaks with a smile.
Xiang Pi said to Li Shui: "I came to see the banished immortal today specifically to express my gratitude. Without the banished immortal, my grandfather and grandson would have starved to death on the streets."
Xiang Pi patted the grandson next to him: "Xiang Xin, quickly bow to the banished immortal."
Xiang Xin agreed and saluted Li Shui respectfully.
Li Shui smiled slightly and handed Xiang Xin a piece of pastry. Xiang Xin happily accepted it and ate it hungrily while standing nearby.
Xiang Pi said to Li Shui: "The villain is really convinced. A book written by Princess Weiyang has actually made the villain so much money. In the past few days, three stores have asked me to endorse it."
"I follow the rules set by Shangjun Courtyard and only endorse one store for each category. Even so, I still earn a lot of money."
"Besides, there are also some stores holding activities, hoping that I can show up. Some powerful people are entertaining guests, and they also want to invite me to talk about the past. These activities require money."
"This little man has been working in the fields for most of his life. He never thought that he could earn a family fortune so easily when he gets older."
"These are all given by the banished immortal and the princess. The villain has a humble status and cannot see the princess. He can only pay homage to the banished immortal. Please tell me a word from the banished immortal, saying that the villain misses the princess day and night. of kindness.”
Li Wen smiled and nodded.
Xiang Pi's eyes suddenly turned red again, and he wiped his tears and said, "Having enough food and clothing has been my wish for most of my life. Now the villain has finally come true, but I can no longer see my fellow villagers and relatives."
"Every time in the dead of night, I will think of them. It would be great if they were alive."
At this point, Xiang Pi covered his face and started crying.
Li Shui walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "The deceased is gone. Those who are alive should try to live a good life. Only in this way will we not let them down."
Xiang Pi nodded vigorously: "Rebels are hateful."
Li Shui asked Xiang Pi: "What are your plans next? Will you return to your hometown or stay in Xianyang City?"
Xiang Pi said: "If I don't go back, I will stay in Xianyang. Xianyang is the center of the world. If I stay, I can see the world. If I die at the emperor's feet in the future, my life will not be in vain."
"Also, my grandson can gain knowledge here. When I save some money, I may be able to send him to school. If he can take the imperial examination in the future, it will bring honor to our ancestors."
Xiang Pi added: "I have saved a lot of money, and recently I found a piece of land and a few houses. Although this house is old, it can still be lived in if it is cleaned."
Li Shui looked at him strangely: "How quickly do you get the money from the endorsement? Why do you want to buy another field? Do you plan to continue farming?"
Xiang Pi smiled and said to Li Shui: "The story of the villain is wonderful because the princess wrote it well. But no matter how wonderful the story is, the common people will get tired of it after listening to it for a while."
"Now many businessmen are looking for me to be their spokespersons, but what about three months from now? What about half a year from now? What about one year from now? As time goes by, everyone will become accustomed to me."
"If I don't buy some property, I will still be poor. The villain knows in his heart that I am just a bundle of straw. It looks like the fire is very high, but in fact, if I don't burn it, a few breaths will only leave a pile of ashes. So I am warming myself up by the fire. In addition, adding some charcoal to it is the most serious thing."
Li Shui sighed and said: "What a wise man. In our fairy world, how many people suddenly became famous and then lost their minds. In the end, they ended up dismal."
Xiang Pi smiled and said, "It's too much to banish an immortal. The villain has lived to such a long age and only knows a little about the harsh conditions of the world."
Li Shui nodded and asked Xiang Pi to sit down again.
Then he asked his friend, "What do the people say about Xiang Weng's story these days?"
Wu Jiao said: "Princess Weiyang's wonderful penmanship and her writing about Xiang Weng is very touching. The people in Xianyang gave Xiang Weng a nickname...the lucky old man. It means that this old man always encounters good things and fortunes in troubled times. good luck."
"Ordinary people couldn't put it down because of the princess's writing style. Many people clapped their hands and laughed when they saw the happy ending."
"And well-read people have a low opinion of this book. Most people think that the princess writes about happiness on the surface, but actually after reading the whole article, she is talking about the wandering life of ordinary people when the world is in chaos. Among them are Great sadness.”
"Dr. Chunyu even praised this book. He said that the book was full of laughter and tears, but it was actually about joy in suffering. The whole book talks about the word benevolence. Benevolence to the people, benevolence to the common people."
"Everyone who has read this book now, from the nobles to the common people, will hate the rebels to the core."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, my goal has been achieved."
When the two people were talking about this, suddenly a craftsman outside reported: "Someone came from the old Chu land, claiming to have news about bull horns and dung gold."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked out.
In fact, counting the days, the horns and dung gold should have returned a long time ago. But they still didn't wait, and Li Shui always felt puzzled.
Now that he heard that someone from Chu had come to report, Li Shui had a bad feeling in his heart.
Did something happen to them? If nothing happened, why not come back by yourself instead of sending a messenger?
Li Shui was distraught and hurriedly walked outside the house.
Yihuo and Yongzhi were waiting there with nervous expressions.
When Yi Huo saw Li Shui coming out, he was immediately surprised: The banished immortal is so young? How could such a young man do so many things?
But soon I thought again: maybe... the magic of banishing the immortal to keep his appearance is actually hundreds of years old.
Just when he thought of this, he heard Li Shui say: "Where are the horns and dung gold?"
Get straight to the point, no politeness.
Yi Huo said: "The villain saw them in Pei County. Zhao Tuo's army was passing through Pei County that day. Suddenly a man with disheveled hair rushed out from the army."
"He shouted loudly and called himself Niujiao from Shangjun's other courtyard. He said that he was tortured in Zhao Tuo's army together with Dung Jin and suffered terribly. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Xianyang. Therefore, he asked someone to come here to banish the immortal. Report."
After Li Shui heard this, his anger suddenly surged: "Zhao Tuo, you are so brave. Is he crazy? Dare to touch my people?"
No one around him answered.
Li Shui slowly turned around and said to Wu Jiao beside him: "Go and select a hundred people from the guards of Shang Jun's Courtyard."
"These one hundred people, each with three fast horses, will follow me to Pei County."
Wu Jiao said: "A hundred people, isn't it too few?"
Li Shui said: "The rest of the people have to stay to look after the home and nurse the home. I only bring a hundred people, which is enough."
Yi Huo said cautiously: "Zhao Tuo has been marching. Although the speed is slow, it is time to leave Peixian."
Li Shui said calmly: "It doesn't matter. He has three thousand people with him and his goal is very big. I want to find him without any effort."
Soon, Wujiao went to call someone.
Li Shui then ordered his surroundings: "Don't tell Mr. Tian about this matter."
Everyone agreed.
In fact, they don't have to worry about Tian Weng knowing.
After entering Shangjun's courtyard, Tian Weng didn't know whether it was to repay Li Shui or because he was naturally interested in feces. He stayed in a separate courtyard all day long to study these things.
What's even more weird is that a beautiful young girl called Xianglizhu has also become interested.
Someone saw with their own eyes that Xiangli Zhu and Tian Weng directed some craftsmen to sort the excrement into categories in the small courtyard.
After the feces are dried, the contents of the feces are screened out one by one with the help of a magnifying glass.
The undigested straw is placed in a pile, the dust is placed in a pile, and the real excrement is placed in a pile.
Even real feces should be looked at carefully under a larger magnifying glass to see if it can be divided again.
It is said that this is to study how many things are in the feces. What are the ingredients.
Then they planted hundreds of jars of wheat in earthen jars. Each pot of Sumai contains different ingredients. This is used to verify what ingredients make crops grow well.
Therefore, Tian Weng stayed at home all day long and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
As long as everyone doesn't mention the dung money in front of him, he probably won't know the truth.
Half an hour later, a hundred guards had gathered.
Li Shui jumped on his horse and said to everyone: "Come with me."
The guard captain beside him said: "Exiled Immortal, should we inform General Li Xin? Zhao Tuo has three thousand troops after all. If he fights with us, we may be outnumbered."
Li Shui thought for a while and said: "Zhao Tuo's three thousand people may not be willing to follow him in rebellion. Now the matter is urgent. If we want to mobilize troops, we need to report to His Majesty. After all the procedures are completed, the people may have been killed." "
"Just tell Li Xin. Between the two of us, plus these one hundred warriors, where can't we go?"
The captain of the guard nodded: "What the Exalted Immortal said is that our people are all one-in-a-thousand experts. Each of us carries three horses, and they come and go like the wind. They are enough to deal with Zhao Tuo."
Yi Huo came over and said to Li Shui: "I'll take my leave now..."
Li Shui glanced at him.
His heart was beating loudly, and he thought: Are you going to reward me?
As a result, Li Shui said to the craftsman: "It's good to entertain him. When I come back, I will give you a big reward. During this period, I will ensure his safety."
The craftsmen all agreed.
Yi Huo looked at Li Shui's leaving figure and thought: A big reward when he comes back? That reward might be really heavy. hey-hey……
