Zhang Zuo said: "All the procedures that need to be carried out have been completed. All you need to do is pay the remaining amount and sign the official application form!"
Li Ruocheng was a little hesitant. She suddenly remembered that Li Xiu said that signing a signature was not that simple, as it represented the direction of luck. But now that Li Xiu was not here, she was not sure whether her signature would be effective, so she simply signed her own. name, pressed the fingerprint, and paid the remaining amount, which cost fifty middle-grade spiritual stones, which was ridiculously expensive. Li Ruocheng didn't have that many middle-grade spiritual stones in her hands. She only had three spiritual bricks worth nine high-grade spiritual stones, but there was also a necklace on which Qian Buque had used her true energy to forcibly set it in order to show off her wealth. A high-quality spiritual stone.
This necklace was no stranger to Zhang Zuo. The thing that caught his eye in the first place was the thumb-thick necklace on Qian Buqiang's neck. The necklace itself was not worth much and was just a common thing. The high-grade spiritual stone was the good thing. Zhang Zuo suddenly misunderstood. This necklace appeared in the hands of such a beautiful young woman. He thought it was worth thinking. He secretly thought that the money was really not a good thing. He bought such a big house to support a child. Just a bitch.
It's a pity that he missed it this time. It can be seen that Qian Buque's disguise was very successful. From Zhang Zuo's words just now, it is not difficult to hear that Qian Buque sent someone to spread the word, which is to package himself. Both Li Ruocheng and the old servant Li Zhong heard the meaning of these words, and each knew what they meant.
Zhang Zuo made a profit by exchanging the above-grade spiritual stones for medium-grade spiritual stones, and he did not take advantage of them. After recovering fifty medium-grade spiritual stones, he said: "Yesterday, Mr. Qian made a good deal with the old lady and the maid. The young one has been summoned and is waiting at the door. Madam, you can choose whatever you want, free of charge."
Li Ruocheng motioned to his old servant Li Zhong to choose an old woman who could take care of children. Four smart maids would be enough. The old servant Li Zhong responded and followed the monk Zhang Zuo. After a while, Li Zhong came in and led four young maids. Li Ruocheng took a look at the maid who was about fifteen or sixteen years old and an old woman in her early fifties. She found nothing unusual and went back to her room.
The old servant Li Zhong immediately said a lot of rules, which were roughly the rules that a wealthy family should abide by, and added one that the second floor of the main house was a forbidden place.
The old servant Li Zhongqian returned to his old business, and the system set by his servants was very clear about rewards and punishments.
In fact, these people were all miserable people, including the old lady, who had a contract to sell themselves. When they encountered a bad boss, they were miserable. When they heard that the old housekeeper had clear rewards and punishments, they cheered up.
Li Ruocheng didn't need to worry about these things. She didn't go out to have dinner and continued to practice in her room until dawn the next day. She woke up and went to the east room to take a look. There was still no sign of Li Xiu. The figure went back to the room again.
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed, and there had been no news from Li Xiu for almost seven days. Li Ruocheng gradually became impatient. However, her cultivation progress had accelerated a lot in the past few days, which made her feel strange. For example, the Thirty-six Islands, and the many cave heaven paradises in Bule Kingdom, can speed up cultivation, because those places are relatively rich in spiritual energy, and have large and small dragon veins to support the mountain gates. Even if they do not absorb spiritual stones, they are better than ordinary ones. The speed of local cultivation is also several times faster. When practicing in the secular world, the main resources are spiritual stones and spiritual coins. However, in the past few days, Li Ruocheng did not absorb the spiritual stones, but found that all her injuries had healed.
"Is it related to the fact that I signed and pledged the ultimatum when handing over the property title?" Li Ruocheng was not sure. If Li Xiu hadn't said this, she wouldn't have thought about it.
In the evening, today's weather is gloomy. As winter approaches, the climate in Shangbei County becomes no better than that of Beiminghai. The north wind is biting and the cold is approaching. Li Ruocheng took a rare opportunity to come out of his room to get some air. The courtyard had recently been transformed into a martial arts arena, and the first and second rooms of the west wing had also been connected. All matters were handled by his old servant Li Zhong himself. There was nothing that couldn't be solved with spirit coins. The formations related to Deyang Di were also strengthened by the best formation masters from Guyang Pass. However, in this regard, we have to wait for Li Xiu to review them to see if there are any flaws or omissions.
At this time, in the martial arts field, Wang Shuang and Yang Bushi were exercising and competing with each other from time to time. Next to them, the old servant Li Zhong was giving instructions, and Widow Wang was watching with her child in her arms, with a look of contentment on her face.
Li Ruocheng suddenly felt that she had overlooked something. It seemed that Li Xiu's team had already taken shape, but the mother and son seemed out of place. This team is all based on Li Xiu, and although Li Xiu is indifferent to fame and wealth, it is only a matter of time before he reaches a high place through cultivation. By then, his opponents or enemies will be equally powerful, and a mortal like Widow Wang will not only stay in Deyang Di Without any help, it will become a burden when the time comes. If you are not careful, you will die immediately.
It's better to arrange a way out for her. Wang Shuang and Yang Bushi will definitely work harder when practicing in the future. Li Ruocheng thought of this and made up her mind. She decided to take some time to have a good talk with Widow Wang.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Guyang Pass garrison general and county lieutenant Yang Zhengyi was processing paperwork. Officials came and went from time to time. Everything was in order, showing that the lax defense of Guyang Pass was completely under Yang Zhengyi's control. Suddenly I saw a middle-aged man in a blue shirt approaching and said, "General, happy event!"
Yang Zhengyi put down the copywriting in his hand, stretched out his hand to lead Mr. Hu Da to sit down separately, and said: "What's the happy news? Sir, it's okay to say it!"
Mr. Hu Da smiled half-heartedly and said, "According to reliable information, Huang Chao, the chief dharma king of the Red Lotus Sect, went north a few days ago. However, he came to Guyang Pass at Mao Shi today."
Yang Zhengyi thought for a while and said, "Where does the Red Lotus Sect come from?"
Mr. Hu Da said: "General, in your forties, you still need to observe the general trend of the world carefully before you can make strategic plans. Otherwise, even if you have great ambitions, it will be difficult to realize it!"
Yang Zhengyi said: "Please give me some advice, sir!"
"Don't take it seriously!" Mr. Hu Da said: "Over the past thousand years, dynasties have been replaced and destroyed. However, although the country of each dynasty has been destroyed, the family may not have been destroyed. On this vast land, there are unknown things lurking. How many descendants of the royal family, some disappeared in the long river of history, while others have resurrected, such as today's unhappy country, it is said that the same is true. Every overlord wants to dominate this land and become the person to whom destiny belongs. , enjoying the destiny of the country. Many descendants of the royal family were eventually taken in by some powerful ancient religions, each taking what they needed, exchanging luck and magical power. Over time, they have become a force of cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, dragons and snakes. Today's emperor is rebelling against He has followed the path, rectified the names of these cow ghosts and snake gods, and divided their territories. With all due respect, this courage is really shocking in the past and the present. The current emperor is unfathomable and immeasurable!"
Yang Zhengyi said: "Sir, what you said is true, but you know that I have no intention of competing for world supremacy. I still have this self-knowledge. However, if I can make a king and a marquis, why not?"
Mr. Hu Da smiled and said: "General, there is no need to worry about this. As long as the general can be ruthless and give his wife a letter of divorce, the daughter of the governor of Shangbei County has long admired the general's talent and reputation. I will personally go to this marriage." If you take a trip, you will be able to tell the truth! The stakes here are of great importance, can the general think about it again? "
Yang Zhengyi's expression changed. Apparently Mr. Hu Da had mentioned this matter in front of him more than once. However, this time he did not get angry as before. Instead, he sighed and said, "I am over forty. Jiang gave birth to four girls and one boy for me, how could I let her down? What’s more, the county guard, Mr. Ma, only got a girl when he was old. His name was Ma Caifeng. She was twenty years old. It is said that she had been crawling and rolling around in the military camp since she was a child. She was tall enough. She is more than six feet tall, has a large waist and five girth, and has superb martial arts skills. There have been rumors about her for a long time, saying that whoever can defeat the two hundred kilograms of eagle-winged gold-plated boring machine in her hand will be married to her. Even if I am sure that I can defeat her, I will marry her. But it is absolutely impossible!”
Mr. Hu Da said: "General, there is no need to worry. Since this matter fails, I will come up with another plan. I came here this time and talked about the Red Lotus Sect because it is a special ancient religion. It is said that the Red Lotus Sect There is a gold medal for immunity from death under your hand, which was given by the current emperor himself."
Yang Zhengyi was very surprised and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing?" His understanding of the world of immortality was far inferior to that of Mr. Hu Da, but for the information from the court, he felt that he was not inferior to Mr. Hu Da.
Mr. Hu Da said: "General, have you ever heard of an organization called 'Skynet'?"
Yang Zhengyi said: "I have heard a little bit that Skynet is a secret organization composed of warriors from the martial arts world. It can also be said to be a killer organization. As long as you find them and pay them for things you can't do, it is said that there is no Skynet yet. Those who couldn’t be killed, many monks also died in their hands!”
Mr. Hu Da said: "'Skynet' is just the tip of the iceberg of the intelligence organization controlled by the Red Lotus Sect. The death-free gold medal in the hands of the Red Lotus Sect is in the hands of their high priest. I once I heard that she has a frightening name, Old Demon Red Lotus. She is an extremely powerful person who has lived for hundreds of years, but has disappeared in the past fifty years. I suspect that she is not dead, but is hiding in the government and the public. Do things for the emperor! This can be seen from the fact that the Red Lotus Sect has grown bigger and bigger in the past few decades!"
Yang Zhengyi heard this and asked: "The Huang Chao you just mentioned, do you have any more information about him?"
Mr. Hu Da said: "I only know that he is the chief Dharma King of the Red Lotus Sect, and that's all. However, we don't need to know too much about his background. We only need to know what he is here for. General, can you still Do you remember who the person wanted by the General’s Palace is now?”
"It's a woman named Tang Ruo, who is the deputy commander of the General's Mansion." Yang Zhengyi said: "The General's Mansion is a place with an extremely transcendent status in the dynasty. Xinluohe's prestige in the military is far greater than that of Bai, Zhang, and Above the three generals Li, since this woman can be the dignified deputy commander of the general's palace, she must be superior in terms of temperament and ability, how can she dare to betray her so easily?"
Mr. Hu Da said: "This is not something that our intelligence can find out. However, since the woman named Tang Ruo rebelled against the enemy in Beiminghai, her crime is not small. This is one and the other , Tang Ruo's identity is said to be inextricably related to the Red Lotus Sect. This time Huang Chao came back and came to Guyang Pass. After careful consideration, I'm afraid the inside story is not trivial. Maybe it was for Tang Ruo. If you go!"
Yang Zhengyi frowned and said, "Could this be the happy event that Mr. just mentioned?"
Mr. Hu Da said: "Yes, the one-eyed old man coveted the general's ancestral treasures and wanted to deal with the general. Fortunately, the general planned in advance and this did not cause an irreversible situation. Yangjia Village was razed to the ground by him that night, and two hundred More than fifty people in the family were all turned into powder. The one-eyed old man's cultivation and magical powers are far beyond our reach, and he has a great background. The general should not offend him too much. As long as more masters come from Guyang Pass, the general will deal with it. , this difficulty can be resolved invisible!"
Yang Zhengyi looked slightly ugly and said: "If this man stays in Guyangguan for one more day, I will not be able to live in peace for a day. All the young and old in Yangjia Village are my elders, uncles or neighbors. How can I take it lightly when the one-eyed old man goes on a killing spree?" Rao? To be honest, sir, I have already written a memorial, which must be heard by Heaven. How can a mere one-eyed old man be able to cover the sky with one hand?"
"General, please be patient!" Mr. Hu Da hurriedly advised: "The general is the garrison general appointed by His Majesty, and the military report and other reports are all 800 miles away, directly to the authority of the Holy Face. However, Guyang Pass's current move How can you hide it from the eyes of the General's Mansion if you make a move? The General still has to be patient right now!"
