This heavy rain has been falling for seven days. During these seven days, Gu Li not only succeeded in building the foundation, but also stabilized her realm to the third level of foundation building. This was also the result of her efforts to suppress it. With the heavy rain blocking it, no one knew that right here. In Yunwai Realm, another strong foundation-building expert was born.
The strange thing is that during these seven days, the Song family's supplies have not been cut off for a day. Every three days, someone will come to deliver food to Gu Li. It is unstoppable. Every time people come, they will ask: "Our young master." Invite the girl to the Song family as a guest, I wonder if the girl is willing."
After receiving a negative reply, the visitor was not annoyed and put down the gift as usual and left without any unnecessary nonsense.
The rain finally stopped that day. Mo Chi went out and looked at the sky and the water in the rice fields outside. He suddenly frowned and said, "I want to visit my relatives today. Are you staying at home to look after the house?"
In the past few days, Gu Li's practice has become more and more urgent. She must form an elixir within half a month. When she becomes a strong elixir-former, and with her swordsmanship, she will be able to walk sideways in this Yunwai Realm. .
In this Yunwai Realm, the most powerful cultivator at present is a noble family head who has just formed an elixir. However, although the people living in this Yun Wai Realm appear to be extremely vicious on the surface, and they carry more or less human lives on their bodies, the more vicious they become. The more people cherish their lives, the more they will not risk their lives.
Gu Li raised her head and looked at Mo Chi. She used a question, but Gu Li felt that it was not that simple for Mo Chi to go out to visit relatives this time. After getting along with each other these days, Mo Chi's vision and behavior did not look like a person at all. A beggar with some medical skills, this guy is by no means simple.
Mo Chi has been soft-spoken these days and told Gu Li a lot about Yunwaijie and the Kingdom of Clouds, but he never revealed how she came here. She only said that she was exiled here, but Gu Li knew , she has been to Daqian Country, and may have been traveling outside for many years. Why did she come here later?
But these had little to do with her, Gu Li. At most, she agreed to Bai Zhi to help him find Mo Chi, and just found a chance to ask Bai Zhi a question when she was about to leave.
Looking at Mo Chi who was hesitating, Gu Li knew it well and said, "You can take some of the snacks and cooked meat sent by the Song family."
Hearing what Gu Li said, Mo Chi smiled happily.
Mo Chi was going to a town farther south. That town was not far away from Luoxue Town, just a hundred miles away. One day was not enough to go back and forth.
Mo Chi told Gu Li that there were a hundred towns in the entire Yunwai Territory, and the distance between each town was exactly one hundred miles, and the forces in each town were balanced. If any major conflict occurred, the town would be When the big forces in the city disappear, the forces in other towns will send people to take over the town as quickly as possible.
Of course, there will be wars in Yunwai, and it is common for several families to join forces to annex other families. Some particularly large families will also govern several towns, but they do not dare to go too far, because they are free from the There is another force outside the family, and that is the bandits living in the mountains.
Specifically speaking, bandits are the most powerful force in Yunwai Realm, because most of the bandit leaders are practitioners. They occupy deep mountains and old forests and have no time to manage land and servants. When they need money, they just rob it. .
Mo Chi didn't say when she would come back before leaving, so Gu Li continued to practice swordplay in the small courtyard without any care.
However, after Mo Chi left, he did not come back for three days, but Gu Li was not worried. Just when Mo Chi left, she attached a ray of spiritual power to Mo Chi. At least Mo Chi's life was not in danger now.
Gu Li always felt that Mo Chi's body seemed to be very weak. People in the Yunwai Kingdom were much stronger than the people of the Daqian Kingdom. Even children looked more powerful than the adults of the Daqian Kingdom. But Mo Chi Chi, but like the weak women of Daqian Kingdom, even worse.
This abnormal weakness made Gu Li feel that Mo Chi seemed to have suffered from a very severe punishment. But Gu Li didn't care. Mo Chi's past had nothing to do with her, and the most important thing for her now was to get married. Dan, only after successfully forming the elixir in her body can she have a steady stream of spiritual power.
Now, no matter how big the sea of qi in her body is, it will be limited after all.
She was meditating that day when she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away. Gu Li thought to herself, after so many days, Mr. Song has really taken a liking to her, and he doesn’t know what delicious food he brought today. .
When she opened the door, she was surprised to find that there were not only servants with gifts but Mr. Song himself.
Mr. Song jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the servant behind him, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu has been refusing to accept my invitation. Do you want me to invite you in person?"
Gu Li has now successfully built the foundation, and he speaks forcefully: "If you come in person, I may not be free."
Mr. Song was not upset. He looked up and suddenly saw the poem written by Gu Li on the wall when he was practicing swordsmanship. He couldn't help but was stunned and read it out: "The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles. I didn't expect that a woman like you could actually do it." There is also such literary talent and such ambition. There are also many books in my library, do you want to take a look?"
Gu Li hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Are there any history books?"
Mr. Song seemed to have met a close friend, with a warm smile on his face: "Yes, yes! I also like history books the most. There are both official and unofficial histories, especially some unofficial histories, which are particularly interesting. Unfortunately, my father did not like me to read history before. Saying that is all in the past, we need to take a long-term view and look forward..."
Gu Li disagreed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."
Mr. Song immediately became very happy: "What you said is really very good."
Gu Li thought about it for a long time and then said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go with you to the house, but I just went there to take a look, and I didn't sell myself as a concubine or anything." She also needs to read the history of the Kingdom of Clouds. There must be something about the Holy Lady Temple and the royal family.
The look in Mr. Song's eyes was different from before, as if he had completely changed his mind about Gu Li: "From now on, you and I will be friends. Don't bring up the matter of concubine again."
Gu Li thought to herself that maybe her words made Mr. Song change his view of her. Did she take advantage of Li Shimin?
"Then thank you Mr. Song for your support." Gu Like said angrily.
But I saw Mr. Song saying seriously: "Don't you know that my name is Song Gongming? In the future, don't call me Song Gongzi. Just call me Gongming. My name is what I am called."
Gu Li was stunned. She really didn't know that Mr. Song's name was Song Gongming, but since he asked her to call him Song Gongming, she should just call her Song Gongming.
Gu Li followed Song Gongming to Luoxue Town, and took a horse-drawn carriage to tour the whole town carefully. Before, she came here in tattered clothes to work as a beggar, so she had never really walked around the town carefully.
Walking to a lively market, Gu Li got off the carriage and walked on the lively street. At this time, she also changed into a brand new green cloth. Although it was not gorgeous, it was still decent.
There were many pedestrians on this street, but almost everyone had different surnames tattooed on their necks, and most of them were slaves from various families. Only then did Gu Li remember why Mo Chi had such an expression when he was talking about going to the street to beg. They are proud. Most of the civilians here are forced to sell their children and daughters to sell themselves. There are very few people in Luoxue Town who can persist in not selling themselves.
There are indeed not many people like Mo Chi who would rather beg than be slaves, and begging also involves fighting for territory. The farmers working in the fields outside have gradually become the slaves of the nobles, and the villages have also become the nobles'. farm.
Song Gongming invited Gu Li to ride a horse, but Gu Li refused, so Song Gongming got off the horse gracefully and went shopping with Gu Li.
Gu Li noticed that Song Gongming's steps were steady and strong when walking, and knew that he should also be a martial arts practitioner. However, there was no spiritual power fluctuation in his body, so he was not a practitioner.
When the two of them were walking on the street, many people were secretly looking at them from the corner of their eyes. Everyone knew that the leader of the Song family, Mr. Song, was attracted to a woman and would often have people give her gifts. It is said that she is a very good-looking woman.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among the great nobles. A nobleman would like a commoner woman, use money to impress her, wait until the fish takes the bait, and then abandon her. The woman can only look at the sky in the four corners of her home. Looking at the two of them today, the servants all looked sympathetically at Gu Li.
Gu Li was surprised. What do you think of your sympathetic looks? Even if I sell myself as a concubine, I'm still half a master, so I'm much better than you, okay? This is a very strange phenomenon. No matter how miserable others are, they are better than you, but you still have to sympathize with them.
There is also a hierarchy among slaves. The master's personal bodyguards will look down on the slaves who run errands, the slaves who run errands will look down on the slaves who farm, and the slaves who farm will look down on the common people who are beggars.
Ordinarily, the status of free beggar civilians should not be lower than that of slaves who work in the fields, but common beggars like Mo Chi often cannot afford to eat. This is even more difficult for slaves who work in the fields. If you can’t afford it, what’s the use of your backbone?
In fact, people like Mo Chi who live a difficult life but do not sell themselves are not welcomed by the slaves. This is because it will appear that these slaves are very spineless. Those slaves with a little power will deliberately let some people take Mo Chi away. Not all of the people who worked hard to beg for a few coins and even openly robbed Mo Chi's house were beggars.
There are also some slaves who find people to do this. They gave Mo Chi a few coins during the day, watched Mo Chi thank them profusely, and enjoyed the feeling of being superior to others. At night, they found someone to snatch the money back. .
