At the end of the year, Jiang Sibai actually received the task of "going home". It seemed that Taoist Mo Shang was very concerned about his apprentice's affairs.
Jiang Sibai originally had this idea about this matter, thinking that since he was going to do tasks for the sect, it would be better to go to Ji Guo to complete the tasks.
But when this task fell into his hands, he always felt that he was troubling the master.
It's just hypocritical anyway.
He bid farewell to his master and decided to go back quickly. He would just go and have a look and then come back.
But even so, he still brought Han Qianjin with him. For his honest partner, this was also an opportunity to go home and visit relatives.
He took Han Qianjin to Nagu, which specially issued resource collection tasks, and there he received the tasks that had been left for them long ago.
Yuandaofeng still has a strong say in this kind of task, so there is nothing wrong with helping them arrange it.
What's more important is that this mission is just a transportation mission for Luo Yun's disciples. Not to mention the small reward, it is also time-consuming and laborious, which is not flattering, so there is no difficulty in arranging it.
"Sir, Gou Fei came to see you two days ago."
As a result, just when they accepted the mission and walked outside, Han Qianjin suddenly said this.
Jiang Sibai asked unexpectedly: "When did it happen?"
Han Qianjin said: "Just two days ago, Master, you were listening to Master Mo's sermon, but she didn't come to see you."
Jiang Sibai said unexpectedly: "Why did she come to me?"
Han Qianjin said: "She was with some other disciples at the time, and she seemed to be going on a mission."
"She asked me to tell the young master that he doesn't have to give in to her next time, and she will admit it even if she loses."
Jiang Sibai ignored these words and just asked curiously: "What do you think of this hook? After all, we are from the same hometown."
Han Qianjin hesitated and said, "This person is boring and I don't like him very much."
Jiang Sibai nodded and said, "Okay, then we don't miss her anymore, let's go."
…
The road out of the mountain is not difficult to walk. The only inconvenient thing is that Han Qianjin cannot shrink to an inch, so he walks a little slower.
Jiang Sibai was not in a hurry, and the two of them walked through the mountains and fields at full speed, just enjoying the scenery around the master's gate.
The fifty or sixty-mile mountain road passed in half a day, and on the plain leading out of the mountain, they could already see the outline of Ji City on the horizon in the distance.
"I knew I would have learned a communication technique first so that I could send a message to Senior Brother Shuzhenko."
Jiang Sibai said regretfully.
But then he felt that he was not familiar with this senior brother at all, and it didn't matter whether he was summoned or not.
They did not go back to Jicheng directly, but went back to Baiyi before that.
Baiyi is now very lively.
Although this world is full of nobles squeezing common people, Jiang Sibai is definitely the backbone of Baiyi.
When Jiang Sibai was here, these common people could enjoy a far more generous life than other nobles with peace of mind, but after Jiang Sibai left, they were a little worried all day long.
Now that their young master Xiaobai has returned after a year, this is the greatest good news for these subjects: they are still his subjects, and they have not been abandoned.
All of a sudden, every household brought some local products to visit Jiang Sibai, and Butler Zhong, who was originally guarding the house, was also very happy.
What surprised Jiang Sibai even more was that Lao Zhong, who was originally alone, actually found his mother-in-law and gave birth to a baby!
The baby had just been born and was crying loudly in the hall.
Lao Zhong's mother-in-law, Jiang Sibai, was no stranger to her either. She was Qiuniang's wet nurse back then.
Unexpectedly, after living here for a while, the widowed wet nurse ended up getting close to Lao Zhong, which was considered a marriage.
Jiang Sibai smiled and nodded, and said, "I feel relieved to see that everyone is doing well."
Butler Zhong was a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Sir, come here, I will take you to see the rent we collected this year."
Jiang Sibai resisted at first, thinking there was no point in collecting rent, since he had already gone to cultivate immortality.
But then he saw Butler Zhong's expectant eyes and walked over without saying a word.
Sure enough, what I saw were two large grain stacks built up.
Jiang Sibai asked: "Old Zhong, what are you going to do with the food?"
Butler Zhong said matter-of-factly: "These are your property, sir. I don't dare to talk nonsense."
Jiang Sibai thought about it for a moment, then waved his hand...
The next moment, the Naxumi soap-colored bracelet on his wrist exuded a mysterious aura.
The two grain piles in front of them disappeared immediately, leaving only some grains that were enough for Lao Zhong's family.
"This this……"
Butler Zhong was stunned.
After a long time, he looked at Jiang Sibai with awe-inspiring eyes and said, "Sir, you are really powerful now."
The original feeling of intimacy was gone at this moment, and turned into a kind of alienation caused by awe.
Jiang Sibai felt this change and shook his head without saying anything. He just said: "Find me some distiller's yeast."
Butler Zhong went to look for Jiuqu without saying a word, while Jiang Sibai went back to his room to think about things.
That's right, he plans to use the grain here to make wine.
This idea didn't come to him all at once. The way Xuan Chizi looked like he was greedy for wine before he emerged was really impressive to him.
He was not good at wine, but he had the urge to make wine, so he wanted to think about it.
The act of collecting these grain rents not only allowed him to make wine, but also had another meaning to protect Baiyi.
Because as long as he, the young master, is still collecting rent here, it means that this place is still his territory and cannot be usurped by others.
At that time, the royal family of Jicheng will naturally continue to take care of this area and maintain the stability of these people's lives.
Jiang Sibai didn't want these people to become precarious because of his departure, nor did he want them to become too dependent on his care.
Coming back once a year to collect rent became his way of maintaining this balance.
After thinking about this, he really felt a little tired.
This is still a temporary solution. Will he have to come out to collect rent once a year in the future?
Then should he continue to practice?
Jiang Sibai began to realize how troublesome his identity was again.
If he was also born as a commoner, why would there be so many troublesome things, and there would be no need to consider so many worldly things.
"As expected, I can't accept the noble children. It's too troublesome."
He complained about his identity, then meditated and waited for today's gloomy nightmare.
Early the next morning, he left Baiyi and headed for Jicheng.
It had only been a year since he went to the mountain to learn skills, and the guards in Jicheng still recognized him.
When he appeared at the gate of Jicheng, guards immediately rushed back to the palace to report.
Not long after, Jiang Sibai was taken into the palace.
The situation when we parted ways with King Ji is still vivid in my mind, and I don’t know what will happen to my father now that I haven’t seen him for a year?
