"Uncle, a penny can't help a heroic man..." Liang Hegan explained with a smile.
"The young people in the house need money to practice, and the salaries of the staff also need to be paid, as well as various chores. And..."
"The medicinal materials for my recovery and the money to pay homage to Xirong are the big ones, right?" Liang Xiao said without thinking.
Liang He lowered his head and said, "Yes..."
Liang Xiao said in a deep voice: "You and your family are worried about me. If you have to sell Xinyu just because of this, I might as well dissolve Prince Heng's Mansion."
"Uncle, it's different. It's our duty to dedicate ourselves to your uncle..."
Liang Xiao shook his head.
"You don't need to say anything. I just want to ask you, how much cash do you have in your house?"
"Two thousand taels of gold." Liang He replied.
Liang Xiao frowned: "Why are there so many? Did you sell your wife's jewelry and Xinyu's disguise?"
Liang He argued: "Those jewelry are useless. Since she refuses to marry, the dowry her mother left for her will naturally be useless..."
Listening to Liang He's inconsistent explanation, Liang Xiao felt ashamed and asked: "Can those things still be redeemed?"
"Why are you redeeming it? It's already..."
"Can you?"
Liang He then responded weakly: "Yes, but the ransom is agreed to be ten times. After all, the current Prince Heng Mansion is a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to take advantage of it..."
Liang Xiao was silent for a moment and said: "Give me some time. A friend of mine will come to Donghuang in a while to take care of our Prince Heng's Mansion. When the time comes, I will redeem all those things."
"Uncle's friend?" Liang He was surprised. Seeing Liang Xiao nodding, he suddenly looked ecstatic, "Okay! Listen to uncle!"
After Liang He left, Liang Xiao's physical body took off the broken sword from his waist and fell into deep thought.
After leaving the courtyard, the joy on Liang He's face disappeared, replaced by a bitter smile.
With Liang Xiao's ability before he became disabled, the friends he made were definitely not ordinary people.
However, how long has it been since Liang Xiao became disabled? If he really had friends, how could he wait until now?
"My uncle always comforts us, but now he is a little more firm..."
Thinking of Liang Xiao's subtle changes, Liang He couldn't help but puff up his chest: "We in Prince Heng's Mansion will never accept our fate!"
In the palace, Yun Shuangxue also heard about Liang He going to pawn jewelry and immediately took stock of the treasury.
"Send another two thousand taels of gold to Prince Heng's Mansion."
"Your Majesty! Even if King Heng is dragging down the national treasury now, how can you still send gold to his house..." The personal female guard hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but met Yun Shuangxue's indifferent eyes and had no choice but to do so.
The next morning, Liang Xiao looked at the gold in the yard and remained silent.
"Uncle, the ministers tried their best to dissuade you, but your Majesty still sent someone to deliver the gold." Liang Xinyu was rarely moved.
Liang Xiao just smiled and nodded.
He owed Yun Shuangxue another favor.
When they learned that Prince Heng's palace had taken another two thousand taels of gold from the treasury, all the ministers in the court were angry.
"This gold is enough for the imperial court to hire many warriors. What a foolish king!"
These ministers selectively ignored the fact that their own family was as rich as the country but they could not get any money out of the country. Once the money from the national treasury was in their hands, it could only go out.
"I'll just let you break the jar. I want to see how much gold this waste can eat up the treasury." The old prime minister was stroking his beard and laughing at home. Suddenly he remembered something and urged, "By the way, go and inform the lord of the country right away."
, keep up the pressure.”
The northern border of Donghuang, Helan City.
This small town has only 40,000 residents, a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It is the core of Donghuang's trade route to the north, and Xirong covets it.
There are only a few residents walking on the street, and most of them are warriors who lick blood from their swords.
Among the crowd, Liang Xiao's out-of-body soul was walking on the street wearing a mask and wrapped tightly.
There are a lot of people dressed like him in Helan City, but no one pays attention to him.
Now, with the wine cup as his heart, he is more than two hundred miles away from his physical body.
After practicing the Great Cause Sutra, his soul recovery ability has been greatly improved. Just by rushing quickly, he can travel two hundred miles in a night without getting tired, which is far beyond that of a novice who has just come into contact with God Refining.
The energy consumed in traveling is less than half of the recovery of the soul.
But at this moment, using the wine glass as a medium, his usual fighting ability is almost the same as that of ordinary people.
If you want to change the medium, you need to return to the physical body and choose new items to attach to.
After a cultivator refines the spirit and reaches the threshold of "expelling objects", he will have this ability. Depending on different objects, his improvement will be very different.
Attached to spiritual stones, spiritual weapons, etc., the combat effectiveness is greatly increased.
If someone like Liang Xiao relies on ordinary objects, the combat effectiveness he can exert is extremely limited.
At a higher level of spiritual refining, cultivators can even possess living creatures.
The "ghosts" and "evils" that people in Donghuang pass down orally are actually mostly living creatures attached to cultivators or resentful spirits for their use.
The world of martial arts and Shinto is something that ordinary people can only imagine, but it does not exist.
In the center of the city is the warrior market run by the Helan family, the owners of the city, which is crowded with people.
Liang Xiao came to the market and looked around the place, hearing the noise of warriors bargaining in his ears.
He must get rid of the Blood Dog Suppressing Lingzhu as soon as possible in order to help Prince Heng's Mansion survive the financial crisis.
But one Blood Dog Suppressing Spirit Pearl is far from enough, he must ensure that "money begets money, beads beget pearls", otherwise the financial path will be cut off!
The risk of letting Liang He go out to catch monsters is too high, especially when Prince Heng's Mansion has become a thorn in Xirong's side.
But judging from the warriors he has seen so far, there should be no one who can eat this Blood Dog Suppressing Spirit Pearl.
"Sir, what are you interested in? Can I help you find it?"
A market clerk came over and was very attentive.
In the market, the "guest officials" who wear this kind of clothing often only spend a lot of money and have nothing in common, with no middle term.
Bribing clerks is an unspoken rule in markets everywhere.
"Thank you, no need to."
Liang Xiao responded vaguely, took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it to the clerk.
The waiter smiled charmingly, nodded and bowed.
“At your service anytime!”
Liang Xiao finally found peace and walked in the huge market without saying a word.
He couldn't see living things clearly, and he couldn't detect words or colors.
But he can clearly see the soul fluctuations of all living creatures, and roughly understand the other person's emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy at that moment. In a sense, it is even more practical than observing words and expressions, because the soul is difficult to deceive before it separates from the body and acts independently.
Liang Xiao did not ask the clerk who here had sufficient funds.
This Blood Dog Suppressing Spirit Pearl is his capital and cannot allow failure. He can wait until the opportunity arises.
The market is almost never closed all day long, and Liang Xiao spends almost the whole day in the market.
"The Lord of the City is urgently looking for elixirs and recruiting good doctors!"
The urgent roars outside finally disturbed the bustling market.
"Quickly give up! The Young City Master is injured!"
Liang Xiao, who had been sitting in the corner waiting, finally got up.
When the opportunity comes, it’s still a big fish.
