Chapter 35 All six channels are connected, and the Northern Yan comes to make an envoy
The next day, Mingjianfang bought a store in the east of the capital and opened a branch, which was managed by Li Decai.
The Chengxi branch is hosted by Bai Wenjian.
As for Bai Yichen, he was naturally a hands-off shopkeeper. Apart from spending time with Zhou Yinling, he spent most of his time practicing the Heaven-Splitting Technique.
Moreover, his life has also improved due to the arrival of his personal attendant Bai Xiaowu and his maids Hongmei and Luhe.
Because her grandmother Shen Qiuxia asked Bai Xiaowu to bring over 5,000 taels of silver notes.
This time, he not only gave the rewards and pensions promised to more than a dozen Bai family disciples, but also cleared the two hundred taels from the accounts.
With the banknotes, Bai Yichen's food was naturally greatly improved. Every meal was filled with medicinal meals that greatly replenished energy, and the speed of his internal strength cultivation was further accelerated.
In this way, Bai Yichen began his own hard training.
Time flies, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the temperature dropped sharply, the long-overdue heavy snow had been falling for several days, and the roofs of every household were covered with white snow.
Despite this, the streets are still bustling and lively, with people wearing thick sweaters coming and going in a hurry.
At this time, coal and charcoal prices skyrocketed, and Mingjianfang's business became deserted.
In this cold weather, many people in the world are too lazy to wield swords and go home to drink wine to keep warm. Who is going to buy swords?
Morning, third floor of Mingjianfang in the west of the city.
Bai Yichen sat cross-legged in the room, breathing in and out of energy, and the extremely pure and powerful internal energy was rushing through the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in his body, constantly refining his own essence, and rapidly strengthening his internal energy.
After half a month of hard training, he had opened up the Yin and Yang meridians. In addition to the two meridians of Ren and Du, the other six meridians of the eight extraordinary meridians had been opened. He had entered the first-class peak realm and his internal strength had greatly improved.
In addition, he also refined the last Shenwang Dan, and his internal strength has improved greatly, but it is still far behind the old top-level masters.
Two hours later, at noon, Bai Yichen slowly finished his work.
Immediately, Bai Yichen asked Zhou Yinling to go to the separate living room on the first floor to have dinner.
When the two came to the house, Bai Wenjian and Zhou Boqian were already there.
Although Zhou Boqian's whereabouts are unpredictable all day long, he doesn't need to call and he always arrives on time for every meal.
After dinner, Bai Yichen took Zhou Yinling to the patio for a walk and chat.
A quarter of an hour later, the two took two ordinary stainless steel swords and began to compete with each other in swordsmanship.
I saw two figures staggering back and forth, their long swords constantly clashing, their energy surged, but it was difficult to tell the winner.
Although Zhou Yinling has not opened up her Yang Qiao meridians during this period, her internal energy has improved a lot, her blue water swordsmanship is also very exquisite, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to Bai Yifeng, who is third on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
But Bai Yichen's internal strength is no longer inferior to hers, and the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique has reached a superb level. In a competition, she actually has the upper hand.
After a quarter of an hour, the two stopped sword fighting.
At this time, a white shadow appeared in a flash, but it was Zhou Boqian. He looked at Bai Yichen with a satisfied expression and said with a smile: "Boy Bai, your martial arts have improved rapidly. In less than a month, you are no worse than that boy Bai Yifeng. He is worthy of being my grandson-in-law. Get ready and I will hold a wedding for you tomorrow!"
Bai Yichen looked helpless and said: "Senior Zhou, marriage is always a matter of parents' orders and the matchmaker's advice. How can you be so rash?"
Zhou Boqian was furious: "Boy, you don't want to marry my granddaughter?"
Bai Yichen said: "Of course not, it's just that marriage requires the consent of parents before it is officially legal."
Zhou Yingling also said: "Grandpa, Brother Chen is right, you should stop meddling indiscriminately!"
Zhou Boqian immediately snorted and said: "Think of your good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, Grandpa, I don't care anymore!"
After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace, but he went to drink somewhere again.
Immediately, the two of them prepared to go upstairs to practice.
At this time, Bai Xiaowu came over and said: "Second Young Master, the servant of the Xiao Mansion has sent a letter."
Bai Yichen opened it and saw that Xiao Xuanming invited him to Zuixian Tower.
A moment later, in the private room on the second floor of Zuixian Building.
Bai Yichen came in and found that his eldest brother Song Mingjing and his second brother Xiao Xuanming had already arrived.
Bai Yichen sat down and asked, "Second brother, do you have something to do with me this time?"
Xiao Xuanming nodded and said: "Yes, I wonder if you have ever heard that the third prince of Beiyan Kingdom came to the capital."
Bai Yichen said: "I have been practicing in seclusion all day, but I didn't pay attention. Could something serious have happened?"
At this time, Song Mingjing said: "Third brother, I don't know. This third prince asked his bodyguard commander to challenge our country's young talents and defeated Wei Wuque and many other first-rate masters. Then he uttered wild words, saying that we have no one in the Central Plains. The reason we are here is that we hope you will take action and defeat this person."
Bai Yichen looked slightly startled and said: "There are many masters in Tianji Valley and Shendao Sect. How difficult is it to deal with a personal guard commander of Prince Beiyan? Even if they fail, there is still the Shen family of Hedong Road."
He doesn't want to expose his rapidly growing strength and arouse the fear of the Demon Cult now.
Xiao Xuanming said: "Tianji Valley is good at formations and magic, and martial arts is not its strong point. Lin Rui, the great disciple of Shenjian Sect, has a first-class peak cultivation level, but he is nearly thirty years old, and he has the ability to bully the younger ones. Suspicion. And the Shen family in Hedong is far away and water cannot quench their thirst nearby. Therefore, I can only leave this matter to my third brother!"
Bai Yichen said: "I am willing to take action, but the Demon Cult's pursuit of me has not stopped yet. If I are too high-profile, I'm afraid there will be danger!"
Xiao Xuanming said: "Third brother, don't worry, if the Demon Sect really dares to enter the capital to take action, we will definitely help you. Moreover, you are bringing glory to the country, and you should be rewarded by the court!"
Bai Yichen said: "Since the eldest brother and the second brother have mentioned this, Yichen just obeys his orders!"
Immediately, Bai Yichen left with the two of them.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion.
At this time, in front of the hall of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, a young man with extraordinary bearing dressed in prairie clothes and a young man wearing a bright yellow python robe were sitting side by side on a big chair. There were two guards with swords standing beside them.
Not far away, there were two young men holding swords competing in martial arts in the middle of the courtyard.
One of them was dressed in prairie clothes, holding a machete, with a wolf fang hanging on his chest. His sword skills were fierce, just like a prairie wolf, possessing a cruel and ferocious nature.
The other man was dressed in guard uniform, holding a thousand-forged sword, and his sword skills were sharp and swift.
After more than ten moves, the blade of the scimitar in the grassland young man's hand surged, and the sword flew away from the young guard's hand, and his right arm was cut off with a single slash.
The young guard held the severed arm and screamed in agony.
At this time, the grassland young man clasped his fists and said in a fluent Central Plains accent: "Concession!"
The extraordinary young man from the grassland smiled and said: "Your Highness, King Qin, it is inevitable that you will miss in a martial arts competition. You won't blame my guard commander Batu, right?"
The King of Qin, who was wearing a bright yellow python robe, said coldly: "The third prince is joking and his skills are not as good as others. There is nothing to blame. Someone, take him down to treat his injury!"
