The sky is clearer in autumn. Through the blue sky, standing on the top of a high mountain makes people feel extremely small.
Outside Wolong Mountain, dozens of miles outside Ding'an City, there is a rolling mountain range.
In the boundless mountains, there is a group of mysterious bandits entrenched here, calling this place Longshan.
These guys couldn't enter the small world of Wolong Mountains, so they occupied a mountain peak outside.
Why are they mysterious? Because these bandits never commit crimes near Ding'an City.
Either towards the Great Wall, or to rob the territory of Wangtian City.
Usually he disappears without a trace after he succeeds. No one knows where he came from and where he is going.
The Ding'an City Lord's Mansion also acted on the principle of people not complaining and officials not investigating, and pretended not to see the existence of these bandits.
At night, the cottage was lit up with faint lights.
In a large bluestone house, a middle-aged man in a white shirt sat quietly at the table, guarding an oil lamp and reading a book in his hand.
If Li Xiuyuan were here, he would definitely be shocked.
The city lord of Wangtian City back then turned out to be the bandit leader.
However, the current city lord has changed his name to Ma Fengyun, intending to stir up the turmoil in the wilderness and the Great Wall.
After being lucky enough not to die in battle at the Great Wall, Ma Fengyun took a few of his men and gathered a group of monks.
He fell in love with this geomantic treasure outside Ding'an City, so he chose a mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a mountain stronghold, and he became the boss.
The person whose arm was cut off by Li Xiuyuan outside Wangtian City was none other than his subordinate, the Third Master, a Cave Heaven Realm monk named Wang Feng.
This was the only time they had failed in these years, and the bandits in the entire village were holding their breath.
Waiting for the boss Ma Fengyun to speak and get this situation back.
Unexpectedly, Ma Fengyun did not speak immediately, but asked them to calm down for a few days before talking.
He was too impulsive before, so he was taken advantage of by his subordinates, and in the end he lost his position as city lord.
Now I have finally built a cottage. Although it is not as glamorous as being a city lord, I can still live a carefree life in the wilderness.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a green shirt walked in.
He looked at Ma Fengyun and said with a smile: "Master, come and have a drink. I just came back from Ding'an City and bought the wine you like to drink, or roast chicken..."
Ma Fengyun was obviously very satisfied with the wine the middle-aged man brought back. He put down the book he was holding with a faint smile on his face.
He took the sorghum wine handed over by the middle-aged man and poured it into the cup in front of him.
He smiled and said: "There is no rush to avenge the third child. Tell him to recover from his injuries first."
The middle-aged man was slightly disappointed, but he hid it well.
He took out the roasted chicken and beef he bought from Ding'an City and put it down. He pretended not to care and said, "How long do we have to wait? I accidentally met that young man in Ding'an City today..."
Ma Fengyun was stunned, looked at him and said coldly: "Which boy?!"
The middle-aged man looked at him and smiled strangely, and said softly: "That's the boy we met outside Wangtian City, the guy who cut off one of the Third Master's arms."
Ma Fengyun couldn't help but pick up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? That guy is the young man you met on the road?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "I promise it won't be wrong. There is also a talking crow. It can't be wrong."
Ma Fengyun finally became angry. He looked at the middle-aged man and said simply: "It seems we have to make a careful calculation. We haven't entered Ding'an City for a long time..."
The middle-aged man burst out laughing when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This matter needs to be calculated carefully."
Reaching out and pulling out a chicken leg and putting it in his mouth, Ma Fengyun laughed coldly: "In this case, let's go to Ding'an City to collect some interest."
"Do you want to tell the third master?" The middle-aged man remembered something and looked at Ma Gang and asked seriously.
Ma Fengyun shook his head and said quietly: "Don't worry, I will arrange this..."
…
The atmosphere in Li Qiushui's shop was a bit heavy today.
Although yesterday, the escort agency in Fucheng handed over a certain amount of goods to her, and asked her to pay for the elixirs she bought in Fucheng.
It was not until today that Wang Tianhua visited her again and described to her the scene that happened outside Wangtian City.
Finally, he said: "Those bandits here probably don't want to rob the shopkeeper's goods. I think someone in Shangfucheng probably leaked the news and wants to rob you of the elixir you need to break this situation."
Li Qiushui was peeling the peanuts in his hand and was shocked when he heard this.
Looking at him, he asked, "Is it possible that you were able to fight off those bandits?"
Wang Tianhua shook his head, looked at her and said, "Originally we were planning to leave today, but we were afraid that bandits would block us on the road, so we wanted to rest in Ding'an City for some days."
After thinking about it, he continued: "It was a young man and a crow who saved us and the shopkeeper's elixir and goods... but they didn't want to have anything to do with us, and they didn't even say anything to us."
After spending a while, Wang Tianhua finally told everything that happened that year and the plans of his group.
When Li Qiu Shui heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, took a bag of spiritual stones and handed it to him.
He said quietly: "Take these spiritual stones to recuperate for the injured brothers, and treat the other as expenses in Ding'an City. We will leave in ten days and a half."
Li Qiushui's heart was like a mirror, he knew that it was Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei.
Just for Wang Tianhua's sake, she didn't want to say it clearly. After all, she had to ask Li Xiuyuan first before making a decision.
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, Wang Tianhua was quiet for a short time, and then said softly: "Do you want to say hello to the master of Ding'an City about this?"
Li Qiu Shui smiled nonchalantly and said, "No matter what, he won't send anyone to send you back to Wangtian City."
Li Qiushui is extremely familiar with the current city lord.
It has nothing to do with him. How could that guy send guards to escort people from the escort agency to Wangtian City?
Right now, she just wants to see Li Xiuyuan and discuss the next things with him.
Seeing Wang Tianhua collect the spirit stones, Li Qiushui smiled and said: "You guys have a good rest and let this matter go away for ten and a half days before leaving Ding'an City."
Wang Tianhua said nothing more, nodded with a wry smile, handed over his hands and left.
Looking at Wang Tianhua's back, Li Qiushui said to himself: "I didn't expect that as soon as you came back, there would be a storm in Ding'an City. It seems that I am going to get rich again!"
He turned his head and shouted: "Xiao Hong, come here, let's go to the wine shop."
…
After sending away the chattering two daughters of Ximen Xiaoyu, Li Xiuyuan and others came to Li Qiushui and Xiaohong.
Li Xiuyuan took Xiao Hei and called a carriage with Li Qiu Shui to the market.
The two found a carpenter and a mason, negotiated the time and price for starting work, and finally found a mason.
Li Xiuyuan handed the stone brick drawings in Loulan City on the Xuanwu Continent to a group of masons. After confirming that they could make them, he returned to the winery with a few masons.
Pointing to the gate and the stone wall in the backyard, he said quietly: "How long will it take to replace these walls?"
The masons paused, made some calculations, and said, "If the master is in a hurry, we have to go to Wangtian City to invite a few more brothers over, or we will have to pay more."
"Money is not an issue." Li Xiuyuan replied calmly.
Several stonemasons added up their hands and said: "Ten days, no more, while we polish the new stone wall, we will start building the wall on the seventh day, and we are guaranteed to complete it in ten days."
Li Xiudi glanced at Li Qiushui, frowned, and then calmed down.
He looked at the mason and said, "Then it will take ten days. The work must be meticulous and there will be no shortage of money."
When several stonemasons heard this, they happily went to measure the dimensions.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was bored, he flapped his wings and went ahead to find Xiao Hong begging for melon seeds.
Li Qiu Shui waited until a group of masons finished measuring all the measurements, then sat with Li Xiu Yuan under the osmanthus tree in the yard, watching the quiet boy boil water and make tea.
After thinking about it, I got up and picked a few osmanthus flowers from the osmanthus tree and dropped them into the purple clay pot.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he smiled lightly and said, "This fresh osmanthus has a different taste when used to make tea."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said nothing, but waited for the water to boil, warm the pot, wash the tea, and wash the cups. After a while, the two of them were holding a cup of spiritual tea filled with the fragrance of flowers.
After taking a sip, Li Qiuyuan took out his silk scarf and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you haven't arrived in Ding'an City yet, but I have already made my sister owe you a favor!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then said gently: "I don't know what the eldest sister is talking about? In my opinion, there is no such thing as human kindness, aren't we all members of the same family?"
Seeing Li Qiushui's solemn expression, Li Xiuyuan, who was holding a cup of spiritual tea, always felt that something was wrong.
Li Qiushui sighed, looked at him with a smile, and said two words: "Thank you!"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, sighed, and looked up at the few blooming flowers on the osmanthus tree, thinking that within a few days of autumn rain, the ground would be covered with fallen flowers.
The stone wall of the small courtyard has been around for a long time, and some of the runes on it have become blurred. It seems that I have made the right decision this time.
Li Qiushui waited until he finished drinking the Erdao Ling Tea before he said softly: "Since you let those bandits go, aren't you afraid that they will come to Ding'an City to seek revenge on you?"
After thinking about it, the boy in front of me seemed to be a different person.
In Ding'an City, tens of thousands of troops were killed at will, until the blood flowed into a river, and she didn't even see this guy blink an eye.
There are only about 20 bandits now. Why did this guy just let them go with a wave of his hand?
"If you cut the grass without removing the roots, I'm afraid there will be trouble!" Before Li Xiuyuan could reply, Li Qiushui sighed leisurely.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, the pear dimples at the corners of his mouth looked very innocent, and there was no anger in his tone.
Osmanthus fragrans looked up at Kazuki and said, "This is Ding'an City...Who have I ever been afraid of?"
Li Qiushui suddenly became happy when he heard the young man's tone.
He knew that Li Xiuyuan's casual words could turn threats into countless spiritual stones.
Thinking of the fierce murderous intention in Ding'an City that year, I thought that I would have to follow you to make a small fortune.
I thought that maybe when the dead leaves were falling on the street, it was also the day when the bandits who came out to seek revenge were unlucky.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "You are going to demolish the house, will those magic circles still work?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "It's only been a few days since this happened. Even if the wind blows, we have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
Li Qiu Shui was stunned, looked at him and chuckled: "You have demolished this place, how can you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Or do you want to go to the city lord's mansion to find Ximen Lone Star?"
"The City Lord's Mansion?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly, thinking of Ximen Lone Star's irresponsible father, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
After finally pulling out one pair of legs from the pool of water, he would not step in again.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't say a word, Li Qiu Shui couldn't help but ask: "How about you go to my place? It would be fun to invite the little celebrity."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said softly: "It's better to go to the lake, it's more comfortable there."
After speaking, he took out a space ring and placed it in front of Li Qiushui, and said quietly: "Sister, this is the spiritual wine and elixir you need to break through the realm and practice with Xiaohong's family..."
Li Xiuyuan thought that he could not stay in Ding'an City forever, and the affairs of Xiaohong's family of three could only be left to Li Qiushui.
