Chapter 745 Shaobai 18
Wangcheng Mountain, Tang Sect, and Chaisang City are all located in the southwest road, but only Wangcheng Mountain and Tang Sect are slightly closer. If you travel at full speed, you can reach them in about two days. Chaisang City is about halfway between Wangcheng Mountain and Xueyue City, and is actually closer to Nanjue than to Xueyue City.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the territory of Southwest Road, Jiang Xinxin proposed to take Ye Dingzhi to Wangcheng Mountain: "Now that the Ye family has been rehabilitated, I have previously talked to the teachers about taking him as a disciple. Now that we are close to Wangcheng Mountain, I thought it would be better to take him to meet the people of Wangcheng Mountain formally."
Nangong Chunshui was the first to express his understanding: "That's fine. My martial arts skills are mediocre now, but I still have Dongjun and Changfeng. Besides, Old Master Tang and I are close friends. Now I am going to the Tang Sect to ostensibly disperse my Dachun skills, but in fact, I am also helping the Tang Sect to eliminate hidden dangers."
Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng had nothing much to say, and there was even less to say about Yue Yao, who was following behind and had not shown up yet. So everyone temporarily separated and agreed to meet at the Donggui Tavern in Chaisang City.
Although Jiang Xinxin wanted to take Ye Dingzhi to Wangcheng Mountain to identify someone, for the sake of the peace of Wangcheng Mountain, she chose not to go through the main gate, so as not to alarm the 5,000 elite soldiers at the foot of the mountain and bring unnecessary speculation to Wangcheng Mountain and Ye Dingzhi. After all, Emperor Tai'an in Tianqi City, who was as suspicious as a sieve, was not a good person.
Lu Suzhen didn't expect that Jiang Xinxin would actually bring Ye Dingzhi back, but Ye Dingzhi was a serious young talent after all, and the descendant of a hero. Lu Suzhen immediately took out a blessed peace locket and gave it to this young man.
With Lu Suzhen's start, the other heavenly masters also presented hastily prepared but not perfunctory gifts. Even Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen made a special trip down the mountain.
Now Zhao Yuzhen doesn't have any "destiny" that states he cannot come down the mountain unless he enters a trance. With Jiang Xinxin as a substitute, and the two of them being twin brother and sister, Jiang Xinxin has paid a lot, so of course the so-called destiny has been largely obscured by Jiang Xinxin.
After Zhao Yuzhen found that he no longer had that vague feeling of palpitations when he went down the mountain, he still chose to stay on Wangcheng Mountain and would not go down the mountain easily. It was last year when Jiang Xinxin went out that the old man of the Zhao family at the foot of the mountain died of illness. After receiving the news, he chose to go down the mountain to make a final break with the Zhao family, and that was the first time he went down the mountain seriously.
After coming back, Zhao Yuzhen didn't tell Jiang Xinxin about the Zhao family. It seemed that the Zhao family had lost two children, but in fact, the Zhao family had changed its fortune because of the twins, Zhao Yuzhen and Jiang Xinxin. Now they have become a decent small landlord and have bought houses and shops in the town. They also have two estates of a hundred acres each. Their great-grandchildren all have money to go to school.
So, after Zhao Yuzhen made this calculation, he felt that the Zhao family had indeed benefited a lot. He and Jiang Xinxin left the Zhao family when they were just born, and the slight relationship they had was all due to that little bit of blood relationship.
But in fact, the only blood relative Zhao Yuzhen cares about is Jiang Xinxin.
When Jiang Xinxin told everyone about her experience after coming down the mountain, Zhao Yuzhen took the initiative to step forward and said, "Since my sister is interested in compiling a pharmacopoeia, why don't I help you compile all the medicinal materials within a hundred miles of Wangcheng Mountain?"
Jiang Xinxin, of course, accepted all the help she received: "It would be great if my brother could help me. I'd like to ask my senior brother to pay more attention to the pharmacy and the clinic."
Wang Yixing naturally had no reason to refuse: "What you are going to do is a great thing that will benefit millions of people. I am not good at medicine and cannot help more. Otherwise, I, the eldest brother, should take half of the credit."
The age difference between the few people was not too big, and Jiang Xinxin and Zhao Yuzhen both looked mature, so Zhao Yuzhen noticed that Ye Dingzhi, who was sitting next to Jiang Xinxin, was refilling tea for everyone, and couldn't help asking Ye Dingzhi: "I remember that my sister asked you to go to the outer land and find a suitable place for the Beique survivors to settle down. Now that you have returned to Beili, have you completed the task?"
Ye Dingzhi didn't expect that Zhao Yuzhen, who seemed to only care about Jiang Xinxin, would also care about this matter, but he immediately replied: "Yes, we have found some places. I have already drawn maps outside the domain and left them. It depends on how they choose."
Not to mention Zhao Yuzhen, even Wang Yixing couldn't help but nod his head in praise: "Brother Ye, you did a good job on this matter. Those Beique survivors who hope to live a stable life will definitely be grateful to you."
Ye Dingzhi smiled nonchalantly: "I don't care whether they will be grateful to me or not. It's just that in my opinion, as long as the Zhuge family is there, the Beique high-level officials will not give up the idea of restoring the country. They will inevitably bring the power of the thirty-six sects of Tianwai Tian and go to Beili. By then, I'm afraid that the people on the border will suffer again."
Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh in a pretentious manner: "Once greed arises in people's hearts, it is difficult to turn back."
Jiang Xinxin, however, showed contempt and sneered at Tianwaitian's square: "Some people pursue fame and fortune, while others pursue power. They seem to have the same goal, but in fact they are not united. For example, Yuefengcheng's two daughters, Yueyao and Yueqing, are also very interesting to each other."
Jiang Xinxin's attitude made Ye Dingzhi a little nervous, and he quickly spoke up for Yueyao: "Master, Yueyao herself has no intention of restoring the country. Even those remnants of Beique who wanted to live a peaceful life left with her secret support..."
Jiang Xinxin understood what Ye Dingzhi meant, but felt a little sorry for Yueyao: "I haven't thought about doing anything to Yueyao and Yueqing, but I have foreseen that Yueyao will die because of Yueqing. And those people in Tianwaitian who have other pursuits will definitely invade the Beili border."
Wang Yihang once again fell into the fear of being dominated by his junior sister, and quickly laughed to change the subject: "Hey, we should not worry about things that may happen. Even if Tianwai Tian wants to attack the east and the north, how can we just sit there and watch?!"
Zhao Yuzhen also smiled and echoed Wang Yixing, saying, "Big Brother, what you said makes sense!"
Ye Dingzhi also expressed his determination: "I will not allow anyone to invade the Beili border and let the people there suffer!"
Jiang Xinxin also smiled and said, "I have a way to temporarily delay their plan. Even if a battle is unavoidable, at least I can weaken their momentum."
Ye Dingzhi had personally experienced Jiang Xinxin's "chattering and laughing while destroying the enemy's ships and sails" style. Now seeing that Jiang Xinxin was acting even more relaxed than when she was plotting against King Qing and King Jinyu, he quickly stood up and looked around. After making sure that there was no fifth person here, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's your plan?"
Zhao Yuzhen frowned and stretched out his hand to separate Ye Dingzhi: "Ask if you want, stay away!"
Wang Yihang also looked at Ye Dingzhi with some reproach, and supported Zhao Yuzhen: "Although you are a proper master and disciple, you should also pay attention to the difference between men and women."
Ye Dingzhi felt that he was extremely wronged: "You two also said that this is my master, and my character is also guaranteed!"
Jiang Xinxin's face was full of black lines. She ignored everything else and talked about her own arrangements: "There are many places outside the territory that can be used for farming, but those places are now owned by someone else. It is not worth it to invade rashly. The grassland is more vast and easier to occupy imperceptibly.
Therefore, I think that if wool can be used to make things to keep warm or for decoration, it will surely help the remnants of Beique to quickly gain a foothold outside the region.
In this way, those people with ulterior motives will lose the support of the people. Even if they are determined to invade Beili, they will not be able to gather any momentum. "
