Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

Chapter 271 Su Yue's Tricks, The City Lord Wins Over

Bai Feifei died?

Zhong Yan was slightly startled, let the others leave first, and asked, "When did it happen?"

Yuan Ziyi said: "Elder Sister just sent me a message saying that the soul card that Junior Sister Feifei left in Pepsi Hall yesterday was broken, and Xiaoqin has been sent to Jingcheng to investigate."

What the hell is Su Yue doing... Zhong Yan murmured in his heart, would he not know that Bai Feifei had fallen?

He had the opponent's soul card in his storage bag, which was newly refined by Bai Feifei before leaving the fairy city, and was given to him as a souvenir, just in case, and it was quietly lying in the storage bag intact at this moment.

After pondering for a while, Zhong Yan took out the talisman to send a message to Bai Feifei, and after waiting for half a quarter of an hour for no response, he asked, "What else did you say?"

Yuan Ziyi said: "I didn't say anything else. I just informed me to remind us to pay attention to safety. Someone may secretly target Qifeng."

Zhong Yan took out the soul card and showed it to her: "Feifei."

"..." Yuan Ziyi was stunned, holding the soul card and said silently for a moment: "Why did the elder sister do this?"

Zhong Yan couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and said, "It's probably because of some reason, Su Yue restricted Feifei's movements, there is no danger."

There are two things he can think of for now.

One is Broken Star Island, which may have new clues, and sent Bai Fei to fly there to cut off the connection with the outside world.

The other is that his relationship with Bai Feifei was exposed, and Su Yue beat herself to make progress.

Because it took three years to practice in Mount Mangdang, and before Yao Huilan went out to open up the sea, she asked cryptically when the plan to control Qingyang would start. It was obviously Su Yue who was urging her in disguise.

In any case, although Su Yue had a lot of thoughts, at present, he was very kind to the disciples of Qifeng and never did any harm.

"If it is aimed at me, when the time comes, she will reveal her purpose, so don't worry about it for now."

After a pause, Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Your elder sister counts the heavens and the earth, but you don't count your own strength?"

Yuan Ziyi thought for a while and said, "It's less than five years before the vassal state competition. There will be a batch of melting spirit pills and alchemy materials as rewards. Maybe the elder sister can get them."

"Five years..." Zhong Yan murmured, "The war is going on all over the world, and it may not be able to be held normally. We will follow the steps and do the things in front of us first. After the Liu family is settled, we will give Su Yong an attitude. Next, we must improve the overall situation." strength."

For the long-term development of a family, all aspects must be considered.

The Zhong family has just started. Although they have some strength in terms of combat power, their foundation is weak, or even no foundation, and there are too many things lacking.

Spiritual veins, without spiritual veins, there will be no good practice environment, Qingyang spiritual energy is thin, even with the blessing of the Spirit Gathering array, it is not as strong as the spiritual energy concentration in the natural state of Xiancheng.

Zhong Yan was deeply touched by this point, and Jiang Huan also expressed emotion.

And the Liu family only has a second-rank low-grade spiritual vein, and if it is snatched, it will only be enough for the current Zhongfu.

There are also resources such as spiritual fields and minerals.

For example, spiritual fields, whether it is planting spiritual grains or cultivating spiritual medicines, in addition to being rich in spiritual energy, there are also requirements for the soil, and it is not an overnight effort.

At present, the herbs that Yuan Ziyi grows in the deep courtyard are only a few low-grade herbs, which are maintained by formations.

In this way, the materials needed for alchemy, medicine, and talisman making have to be bought from outside, not to mention the low income, and they are still manipulated.

If others get stuck in the supply of materials, they can curb your development.

Speaking of these things, Yuan Ziyi said softly: "It would be great if we could move Qifeng Medicine Garden here."

Zhong Yan couldn't help being amused.

The medicine garden she was talking about was a valley of more than a thousand acres surrounded by four peaks, the area was larger than the Zhongfu, the soil was fertile, surrounded by formations, and various kinds of spiritual herbs were planted.

"If there is a chance, when the strength increases in the future, I will ask your elder sister to borrow it."

Yuan Ziyi smiled, did you borrow that?

At this time, Zhong Xiaozhong's voice came from outside: "Master, City Lord Xia is visiting."

"Exactly, I still want to find her."

Zhong Yan said, and walked out.

Yuan Ziyi looked at her husband's face: "You want to make her your own?"

After a pause, she added, "It's the easiest and quickest way."

Then he narrowly said: "The princess of the dynasty!"

Zhong Yan had a strange expression, and said with a smile: "You're kidding me too, why do I smell a sour smell?"

Xia Xinzhu, on the second floor of the Foundation Building, is a royal family member of the Yan Kingdom. She is the seventeenth princess of the current dynasty and once practiced in Chiyangzong.

When Yan State first entered the battlefield of Wei State, she left Chiyangzong to become a retinue mage, and joined the army to participate in Wei State's campaign...

Later, she became the first female city lord of the Yan Kingdom to settle in Qingyang, and she supported the fourth prince who was the orthodox crown prince.

Of course, it represents a certain faction of the Chiyang Sect.

In the Xia clan's lineage, the eldest prince died young, the second prince was a monk and did not participate in the competition for the throne, and the third prince was established as the crown prince, but died in the battle for the throne.

Currently, the most popular candidates for the throne include the 'Fourth Prince, Eighth Prince, and Twelve Princes' among the Xia family's children, as well as the two young princes of the Yan family and the Wang family who have also ascended the throne.

Speaking of which, the Qin family of the martial arts family inherited the title of "King Ning", and the ancestors also had the emperor of Yan, but there were few monks in the family, and they gradually declined. Qin Ben supported the Eighth Prince, but he was ambitious. Want to rule Yan.

There must be many people like Qin Ben, the key is whether the backing is strong enough.

The side hall of the outer courtyard.

Yu Qingyao was receiving Xia Xinzhu—wearing a tuniced Tsing Yi, with a tall figure, a standard oval face, and sharp and heroic brows, just sitting there calmly gave off a sassy feeling.

"City Lord Xia!"

"Zhong Fellow Daoist!"

Xia Xinzhu stood up and cupped his hands, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had natural healing power, which made people feel good after seeing it.

She used to complain because she visited many times but could not meet each other, but at this moment, there is no trace of it, and she shows politeness and friendliness instead.

One is that Zhong Yan is really not there, and the other is that he has a deep understanding of the powerful background of the Zhongfu. Furthermore, after several previous contacts, he has a good impression of Zhong Yan.

After some politeness, Xia Xinzhu made it clear what she wanted to do, so she naturally wanted to win her into his camp and support her in Qingyang's management work.

Now Qingyang's forces are intricate and complex, and there will be chaos if there are too many monks.

Assassinations at night and street fights during the day occurred from time to time, causing public opinion to become dissatisfied.

Xia Xinzhu has just arrived and her foundation is weak. Needless to say, the monks have their own backgrounds. Even mortal forces such as the 'Wan Tang' and the 'Water Transport Gang' don't buy her.

However, governing the city is different from leading troops to fight. The main thing is the stability of the people and the development of the economy.

Over the past three years, although Qingyang's tax revenue has increased steadily, the rate has been much smaller than when Qin Ben was in power. It is still under the circumstances that the gathering of a large number of monks will definitely boost economic prosperity.

Therefore, Xia Xinzhu was often harassed by his competitors in the capital, and was severely punished.

Zhong Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Doesn't the city lord know that there is a concubine Qin Ziyue in my mansion who is the sister of Qin Ben clan?"

Qin Ben, who went out from the little Qingyang, undoubtedly became a dark horse on the battlefield of Wei State. He attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold like a broken bamboo, and took down the key hub city of "Ruyang City". 'The number one commander in chief.

Xia Xinzhu glanced at Yuan Ziyi and Yu Qingyao respectively, and said, "I heard something."

"The fourth prince's heart is benevolent, with a gentle and military strategy. In the future, when he ascends to the Great Treasure, he will definitely become a wise king who governs the country, opens the prosperous age of the Yan Kingdom, and benefits the people of Li..."

"If Shuai Qin can support and assist the four princes to take over the reunification, Hsinchu can be the master and promise that King Ning will be called 'one character side by side king', and hereditary will not replace him."

"The Zhong Mansion is thriving, and they want to multiply into a clan. In the northwest of Yan Kingdom, Fellow Daoists can choose two big cities as their clan lands at will, enjoying a population of tens of millions."

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows. Considering the current strength displayed by Zhong Fu's face, this condition has to be said to be very generous.

It shows the weight and voice of the other party in the fourth prince.

He laughed and said: "It's too early to say that. Now it's not a simple Wei country's problem. The entire Eastern Region is in a war. The disaster of Nian Lizhu has evolved to the end. It's hard to say whether Yan Guocun exists or not. This point, I think the city lord should see it more clearly than I do, I advise you to plan for yourself, maybe in a few years, each city will have to fight on its own."

Xia Xinzhu frowned slightly, but had to admit the fact.

"As for Qingyang, Zhong is willing to do his best to inform the Water Transport Gang and cooperate with the work of the City Lord's Mansion in various ports..."

After a pause, Zhong Yan continued to laugh and said, "Conditions, I want three thousand standard weapons."

"Three thousand?!"

Xia Xinzhu's voice suddenly rose, staring at him and asking, "Is the Zhong House going to train private troops? Or is it supporting Qin Shuai?"

Zhong Yan: "You don't have to worry about that."

Xia Xinzhu looked at each other for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll find a way."

Zhong Yan nodded, glanced at her straight up and down, turned around, and said with a smile without any taboo: "I don't know if Princess Hsinchu has any close sisters or nieces Princess, but Zhong is very interested in the royal blood, and I would like to accept it as your daughter." concubine."

Xia Xinzhu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by that aggressive gaze, and subconsciously looked away.

The well-dressed maid standing behind her also froze for a moment, with a look of contempt flashing across her head.

Xia Hsinchu looked back and said with a smile: "Hsinchu will carefully consider this matter and give Fellow Daoist an answer as soon as possible."

After a cup of tea.

Yu Qingyao sent the two of them out of the house.

After leaving the Bell Mansion, the maid said dissatisfiedly through voice transmission: "Princess, this person is too rude, finally showing his true colors! A despicable person who relies on women for his position, actually wants to marry the princess and princess as his concubine!"

It's okay if it's a mortal, but Zhong Yan obviously wants the royal female cultivators, each with a noble status, who is not the right wife to be the wife?

Xia Xinzhu was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there any suitable one in the capital?"

The maid thought for a while and said, "Princess Lishu has returned from Fire Cloud Sect. The three spiritual roots are on the fifth floor of Qi Refining, and the purity of the spiritual roots is average. The fourth prince is about to find a marriage partner for her."

After a pause, she said worriedly: "Princess, I think this bastard is looking for an excuse. In fact, he has a crush on you. I really don't understand. Apart from being good-looking, what does he have, inferior four spirits?" Gen, the Foundation Building failed in his fifties, and no matter how difficult it is in his sixties, Qifeng Yuan Zhiqing is willing to marry him!"

Xia Xinzhu's eyes flickered and said: "You can't just look at the surface. It is just a rumor that he hooked up with a family nun in Xiancheng. It is debatable how exactly it is."

The maid retorted: "There are dozens of concubines in his house, and it is a fact that he is addicted to womanizing!"

Xia Xinzhu: "Speaking of Qingyang alone, before Yuan Zhiqing married him, he was very prosperous, and now he has more say in the Water Transport Gang and Ten Thousand Hall than the Yang family, how can he be a general incompetent? "

The maid was surprised: "Princess means..."

Xia Xinzhu pursed his lips and said, "His network is quite complicated, and he has helped a lot. Qin Ben alone is worth wooing. If he can support fourth brother, it doesn't matter if I marry him."

The maid sighed in her heart, but she understood the master's temper.

He is the most special one among the many children of the royal family. He has been through experience since he was a child, and has experienced the sufferings of the common people, and he sincerely cares for the common people in the world.

Especially after personally experiencing the Great War of Wei State, he didn't want to put the people in the chaos of war.

This is also the reason why he chose to support the fourth prince instead of the twelfth prince who is actually closer.

Not long after the two returned to the City Lord's Mansion, they received invitations from Wan Wan Tang and Water Transport Gang, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Xia Xinzhu said: "Standard weapons, you can handle them."
