Chapter 167 News of Jiang Cai (seeking a monthly ticket)
When everyone saw that the Wuzhen girl wanted to buy a horse, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Martial arts masters rarely walk around in the wild, so I didn't expect to meet one tonight.
I'm really worried that this woman will kill people and take money.
So scared.
"Yes!" The leading Wuzong hurriedly pulled a ten-thousand-mile horse and said respectfully: "Give it to Lord Wuzhen. I don't dare to treat you as an adult."
Of course he felt distressed for a thousand-mile horse costing only one or two thousand. But compared with the goods, a horse was nothing.
Jiang Yao was amused. But he didn't intend to take advantage of the other party. How was this different from robbery?
He wouldn't do such a low-end method with no technical content.
He is a scholar who formulated the "Da Qing Law" himself. How could he do such a thing? According to the law he formulated, robbery is punishable by punishment.
Jiang Yao took out a bag of spiritual jade and threw it away with a raised hand.
"Fifteen hundred dollars, I won't take advantage of you." After saying that, she jumped on her horse and headed north.
What? Give me back the money?
A group of people immediately felt a little incredible, and then felt moved.
This Master Wu Zhen is simply a fairy-like figure, it is really heartbreaking.
"Sir, please wait!" Feeling grateful, Wu Zong immediately called out to Jiang Yao.
But he saw the girl reining in her horse and turning her head, her beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, "Huh?"
"Lord Wuzhen." The caravan steward said gratefully, "Not far to the north is the Qianli Swamp. Not only is it impossible to cross, but it is also difficult to go around. Even if you go around, the road is very dangerous."
"If you are not going to Qianli Swamp, you should change direction."
Jiang Yao immediately turned the horse's head and said thank you.
"Where are you going? I'm a foreigner. I've just arrived and I don't know what's going on here."
The caravan manager and others had already guessed that this girl was an outsider, not even from the Central Territory.
Why do you think?
Because such a young woman is a martial artist, and her appearance is as stunning as that of a heavenly being. If she were from the Central Region, she would have been among the top ten young masters long ago.
Even if he is not among the top ten young masters, he is definitely famous and well-known in the Central Region, and they have never seen his image.
Although this person is not as good as Fairy Yu in terms of appearance or cultivation momentum, he is no worse than Fairy Zhen and Fairy Li. How could he be unknown?
Most of them are not from the Central Region.
The caravan steward did not dare to ask any more questions and answered respectfully: "To tell you what my lord, I and others are going to Qiao Clan Moyang City to deliver a batch of spiritual tea and spiritual wine."
Qiao valve?
Jiang Yao immediately thought of Jiang Cai, also known as Qiao Cai.
She is a direct descendant of the Qiao clan. I just don’t know how many Qiao clan there are in the Central Territory.
"Is Moyang City the nearest city nearby?" Jiang Yao asked again.
"Yes. Moyang City is the nearest city, but we still have to walk more than five thousand miles." The caravan manager replied.
The girl nodded, smiled and said, "Then I will go with you to Moyang City."
How dare anyone object? They can only say that they are extremely honored.
Now the group of people is heading east.
After a while, Jiang Yao started to inquire, and suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that there is the most beautiful woman in the Central Region, Yu Yan, who is a peerless genius. Is this true?"
He also knew that these people guessed that he was not from the Central Region.
Because his transformation is so dazzling, he is like a phoenix-like girl.
When the girl spoke, her expression was filled with a hint of disapproval and arrogance, and she had the temperament of a noble lady.
The caravan steward immediately said: "My lord, what you are saying is that Miss Yu Kuan is indeed the new generation's most beautiful woman in the world, and her qualifications are unparalleled in the world..."
"Ahem..." When the other steward heard what his partner said, he was shocked and quickly coughed to remind him.
The steward who spoke immediately woke up, and his face instantly became frightened and embarrassed.
He immediately swallowed his words of praise to Yu Yan.
Sure enough, the Wuzhen girl was unhappy.
"Haha. The most beautiful woman in the world, with unparalleled qualifications, can't I see it?" The girl sneered.
The steward's face turned pale, and he said with an apologetic smile: "My lord, you are right, but not necessarily! Not necessarily! This is just spreading rumors, who knows."
"Besides, I heard that Yu Yan encountered a great opportunity and turned back into a child, a yellow-haired girl. How can she still be the most beautiful woman in the world?"
When he said this, he carefully looked around and found that the Wuzhen girl's face looked much better.
It was really dangerous just now. If I offend her, who knows if she will turn against him and kill him?
He quickly changed the subject in a flattering manner, and said without any words: "In reply to Lord Wuzhen, although I have thousands of horses and it's not far away from five thousand miles, I can't reach Moyang City in one day."
"Why is this?" The girl "Li Luo" frowned and her face didn't look good.
"I'd like to teach you, sir." The steward held his hands on the horse and carefully explained: "Soon, we will have to enter a mountain road of three thousand miles, which is winding and rugged and quite difficult to walk."
"Our horses must find a place to rest halfway, otherwise they will have no power."
Liekong County cannot control the wind and cannot use flying magic weapons. If Jiang Yao travels by foot power, he will definitely not be able to cover the distance of five thousand miles by a ten thousand mile horse.
Therefore, he must also find a place to rest.
What a bad luck, how did you end up in Riekong County?
"It doesn't matter, just take a rest. It only takes a whole night."
The Wuzhen girl nodded seemingly indifferently, and then asked casually: "What level is this Qiao clan? How strong is it?"
The steward replied: "To tell you what my lord, the Qiao clan is a second-class martial clan with fourteen counties, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and a martial arts population of tens of millions. The juniors and others are all members of the Qiao clan."
"But in the Central Territory, Qiao Clan is just a weaker existence among the third-rate forces."
Between words, there is no recognition of Qiao Clan.
They are all small businessmen, earning dangerous hard money. They buy spiritual tea at a high price from a certain lord's tea garden, transport it thousands of miles to other places, and pay heavy commercial taxes.
Not only will you not make much money, but you may lose your life at any time on the road.
The Wu clan imposed heavy business taxes on small businessmen, but the tax rates on large business owners were very low.
Raising so many soldiers and horses is only used to fight each other and suppress the casual cultivators, but does not care about the bandits on the road, allowing those people to rob and kill without paying any attention.
It's strange that they have a good impression of the martial arts clan.
Jiang Yao understood that although the Qiao Clan had twelve counties and an army of more than 100,000 people, it was only an ordinary existence among the third-rate forces in the Central Region.
In this way, if a force like the Qing Clan takes over the Central Territory, it will become a third- or fourth-rate force.
The Wuzhen girl asked again: "Is there any great person in this Qiao family?"
Of course there is no need for the steward to hide anything: "Except for the fact that the lord is in the late stage of Martial God and the young lord is in the early stage of Wuzhen, there are no great people in the Qiao family."
The girl smiled: "Are there no outstanding women?"
The steward thought for a while, shook his head and said: "A second-class martial arts noble, even if there are some outstanding women in the royal family, how can he compare to the Lord's case?"
"A relatively famous woman in the royal family, the younger generation only knows Qiao Cai. This Qiao Cai is about the same age as the adults, and has good aptitude and appearance, but compared with the adults, she is far behind."
"Oh? Really?" Wu Zhen girl seemed to be interested, "Since this Qiao Cai can be known to you, I guess she is also a person."
The steward responded with a smile as he rode on horseback: "She is the seventh daughter of the clan leader. She used to be a figure. But I heard that a few years ago, for some reason, she was deprived of her cultivation and imprisoned in Qiao's Water Prison. Rumor has it that she committed a crime.
Big mistake.”
Jiang Yao was shocked when he heard this.
"It's interesting." The girl showed a smile.
Seeing the girl's interest, the steward continued gossiping:
"She originally had enemies in her family. After being imprisoned by the Cultivation Cultivation System, she was poisoned to blind her eyes and mute her voice. She became a complete invalid."
"It can be seen that she also offended a lot of people in the beginning, and then she was harmed by adding insult to injury. Alas, I don't know what big mistake she made, but the daughter of a dignified lord has ended up like this."
Jiang Yao sighed secretly in his heart.
Why doesn't he know the reason?
When she let her go, Deng Jiu, Wei Rong, and Mei Mei must have guessed it. Then, the three of them put all the blame on Jiang Cai.
When Jiang Cai returned to Qiao Clan, she was severely punished.
Master Qiao is really cruel. He would do this to his daughter who had been working as a serf for more than ten years, just because she failed to complete the task.
Master Qing is like this, Master Qiao is like this. What about Master Yu?
Yu Yan has such good qualifications...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.
A question suddenly popped into Jiang Yao's mind: "When Yu Kuan went to the Fanshan ruins for exploration and experience, who leaked her traces?"
"Her whereabouts are so hidden that only a very small number of family members will know about it. Why does the spy Xue Xian know about it? Is there any conspiracy in it?"
Jiang Yao secretly broke into a cold sweat due to such wild and wild thoughts.
"Sister, if you say so, it's me who has caused trouble for you." Jiang Yao thought of Jiang Cai again, and once again called her long-lost sister in her heart.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought of Jiang Cai's cultivation, being imprisoned in a water prison, and being poisoned to blindness and muteness.
He and Jiang Cai have been together for nearly ten years. Although she was part of the conspirators, she let him go in the end, saving his life.
Now that he learned of her tragic fate, if Jiang Yao remained indifferent, then it wouldn't be him.
………
In less than an hour, a huge mountainous landform appeared in front of everyone, blocking the way.
"Master Wuzhen, this is Qianqu Mountain. There are many martial arts families there. How about we rest at the mountain people's house tonight to raise horses?"
The girl nodded: "Yes."
"Yes." The steward was very respectful, as if the girl was their leader.
The caravan entered the mountains under the stars and the moon, and sure enough, the road immediately became extremely bad.
Not only is it rugged and uneven, it also has twists and turns, and there are steep cliffs on both sides.
The speed of the cavalry immediately slowed down.
Jiang Yao had a headache. Without being able to control the wind, walking on such a mountain road would make it difficult even for an expert.
Every time they walked this section of the road, the caravan was always on tenterhooks, fearing that bandits would be killed.
But with good luck today, they met a proud woman from heaven, and their courage suddenly became much stronger.
It's not that there are no bandits with Wuzhen's cultivation, but they are very few. At Wuzhen's level, there are many ways out, and few are willing to become bandits.
After walking along the mountain road for more than an hour, I finally saw a cave in a mountain col.
It is a village of casual cultivators.
Seeing the caravan approaching, a few young warriors in the early stages of the war immediately ran over.
"Senior, do you want to rest? One piece for the man and two for the horse."
The caravan steward nodded: "I know, it's the old rule. There are twenty-nine of us, forty-three horses, give..."
He recognized a small bag of spiritual jade and gave it to several teenagers, and said to Jiang Yao respectfully: "Sir, this is the best place in this place. I asked them to free it up, but I have wronged you..."
The girl waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. I am practicing outside, so I won't have to endure hardships."
After saying that, he dismounted from his horse as gracefully as a startled dragon.
Several young casual cultivators suddenly saw this woman as beautiful as the bright moon, and they were in a daze.
