In early June, Li Qingfeng, dressed in a green shirt, was flying on a flying boat towards the place agreed upon with Zuo Ni.
Last month, he got news from Zuo Ni, saying that the Zhou family had sent a second batch of "Red Mountain Stones", saying that this time the quantity was larger, and he hoped that Li Qingfeng could go to hand over it in person.
Li Qingfeng had no objection to this. Although he did have the idea of asking Li Qingqing and others to hand over the goods on his behalf, since the handover this time was the more precious "Red Mountain Pattern Stone" and the other party specifically requested it, he would go there himself. That’s okay too.
Speaking of Li Qingqing, she was taken away in mid-February after the Chinese New Year. Li Qingfeng had just returned to the Li family before leaving. She was not injured this time, but her cultivation level had not changed. As soon as she got home, she complained to Li Qingfeng, saying that the task was extremely boring. She had not had sex with anyone for three months, and she was always doing some " "Useless chores." In addition, there were several male cultivators from the Jinding Sect who were always hanging around her, which made her extremely annoyed, but she didn't know how to deal with it. Later, the monks from the Zhang family helped her out, and it was no longer possible. Of.
Originally, according to Li Qingqing's intention, he wanted to continue participating in missions to hone himself, but after returning this time, this idea was gone. Therefore, the person who followed the Jinding Sect monks on the mission was replaced by Li Yuxiang. After he comes back, it may be Li Qingtao and Li Yufu's turn.
At this time 17bxW* Zhang Si. As for Li Qingzhu and Li Yuming, Li Qingfeng did not intend to let them join in the fun. After all, according to Li Qingan or Li Qingqing, they rarely encountered any rogue bandits during their missions, but were doing some patrols or transporting goods, etc. - This is normal. After all, the rogue bandits are not fools. As long as they learn about the suppression team, most people will not choose to commit crimes against the odds. The suppression team of Jindingmen mostly acts as a deterrent. function, rather than actually having to fight with people every day.
In this case, it would be a waste of time to let Li Yuming and Li Qingzhu go. It would be better to practice in the clan and let other clan members see the world.
Strong sacrifice reads sacrifice. As he was flying in the sky, Li Qingfeng could see some smoke from the kitchen in the distance. That was the direction of Wangjia Village. In recent years, villagers from Wangjia Village have been going south. The population in the village has been much smaller than before. If this trend continues, If so, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the village within ten years.
In this regard, Li Qingfeng is naturally happy to see this happen. Mortals are the foundation of the power to cultivate immortals. Anyway, there is enough land in the Lijia Village area to feed these villagers. There are also many flat woods around it that can be cut down and reclaimed. In addition, there is Li Qingfeng. With the help of home cultivators, there will be no problem if the population can be doubled several times.
The agreed place arrived soon, and it was still the same pavilion. As Li Qingfeng expected, Zuo Ni was already waiting there, but this time there was a young man standing next to him, practicing Qi and cultivating his skills. He was born quite upright, but he was something Li Qingfeng had never seen before.
Seeing Li Qingfeng coming, Zuo Ni's gloomy face put on a smile, flew forward with the young man, and greeted with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Qingfeng, long time no see."
"Friend Zuo."
Li Qingfeng also smiled, and nodded in response while cupping his hands. Then, he looked at the young man next to Zuo Ni, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Zuo Ni knew what he meant, raised his hand, and took the initiative to introduce: "This is my adopted son. His original name is Zhang Shao. He has changed his surname to me in private and calls him Zuo Shao. For the convenience of doing things, he still calls his original name to the public... Shao'er. , why don’t you give Senior Li a courtesy?”
He called out, Zuo Shao came up and bowed respectfully, calling him "Senior Li". Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded. He glanced at Zuo Shao and saw that his main spiritual root was wood, so he reached out from his storage bag. He took out a bottle of elixir and handed it over: "Since he is the adopted son of fellow Taoist Zuo, you can take this elixir."
Zuo Shao glanced at Zuo Ni, and Zuo Ni nodded to indicate for him to take it. He quickly lowered his head, took the elixir with both hands, bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Senior Li."
Li Qingfeng waved his hand. The elixir he gave was suitable for wood-attribute monks. It was considered a moderate gift. Zuo Ni seemed to have brought Zuo Shao here just to let Li Qingfeng get to know him. Zuo Shao took the elixir. , he said: "Okay, Fellow Daoist Li and I still have some things to discuss, Shao'er, you can go and do it yourself."
"Shao'er understands."
Zuo Shao seemed to be a very sensible person. When he heard this, he bowed deeply and said goodbye to Li Qingfeng and Li Qingfeng without hesitation. Zuo Ni looked at his retreating figure with satisfaction. He nodded, turned to Li Qingfeng and said: "Zhang Shaoyuan is a capable person in Anhuai Sect. I thought he was good, so I adopted him as my adopted son privately. With him here, things will be safer in the future, so I will take him with me." He’s here for you to meet.”
"That's it." Li Qingfeng nodded. He understood what Zuo Ni meant. The previous smuggling activities were mainly between Zuo Ni's tribe and his own Li family. If anyone noticed, it would bring trouble to Zuo Ni. , and after switching to Zuo Shao, the security problems will be much less. After all, Zuo Ni's adoption of him as his adopted son was done privately. To outsiders, he is still Zhang Shao. Even if something happens, Zuo Ni will Just wave your hands and refuse to admit it.
This is a good method. Li Qingfeng considered in his mind whether it was necessary for the Li family to take protective measures like this, but after a moment he secretly shook his head. The Li family was just a transporter in this smuggling chain. The risk is actually very small. Besides, the Li family can't find a suitable person to do this - find a casual cultivator outside? What can be done to ensure the other party's loyalty?
No longer thinking about it, Li Qingfeng took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Zuo Ni: "This is the 'Red Mountain Stone', please confirm it."
Zuo Ni took it, briefly confirmed it, took out part of it, and took out some spiritual stones and put them in another storage bag and handed them back. Li Qingfeng knew that this was the reward that had been agreed upon long ago, so he nodded and stretched out his hand. Accepted.
Generally speaking, the handover is over at this point. Li Qingfeng was going to say goodbye and leave, but at this moment, Zuo Ni said: "Fellow Taoist Qingfeng, please wait a moment. To be honest, I have something to discuss with you. business."
Control the big one and control the owl. Hearing what he said, Li Qingfeng was slightly surprised, but it didn't show on his face: "Fellow Daoist Zuo, please tell me."
"Come, let's sit down and talk." At this time, Zuo Ni was pretending to be secretive. While asking Li Qingfeng to sit down in the pavilion, he asked: "Fellow Daoist Li, you and I have known each other for several years, right?"
"It's been a few years." Li Qingfeng agreed, but in his heart he was thinking about what the other party wanted to say.
"Yes, it has been several years." Zuo Ni sighed, "In the past few years, you and I have made a lot of money through smuggling. Fortunately, I am an elder of the Deacon Hall. Without the cover of this identity, I’m afraid this smuggling matter has long been exposed.”
