Chapter 1697 Two things(1/2)
Zhou Xingyun strode along the commercial street of Hangyucheng.
The reason why he went out today was very simple, he just didn't want to stay under the same roof as Elder Shao.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Xingyun would feel difficulty breathing whenever he saw Elder Shao, and was deeply afraid that the old man would come to settle the score with him. After all, he had been prostituted for nothing and had done too many things that were unfavorable to him...
Zhou Xingyun inherited the beast's ability to instinctively avoid "natural enemies".
"Are you going to go shopping with me? Or are you going to be my bodyguard?" Zhou Xingyun suddenly turned around on the street and asked the beauties behind him.
The six Fang Shushu followed him out, like six beautiful bodyguards, three on the left and three on the right, following him closely. It didn't look like they were out for fun at all.
"You are a powerful prince in the north. Many people will be unfavorable to you. You should be more careful when you go out." Ling Yikui looked at both sides of the street and found that there were many warriors from the Jianghu Association: "Master Wei is not here today, Mr. Yun."
It is our responsibility to protect your safety by your side."
"My martial arts skills are better than yours." Zhou Xingyun felt very sad. He originally thought that the girls followed him shopping because they liked him to accompany them. Who knew that it was all wishful thinking on his part.
Everyone was afraid that he would get into trouble if he went out alone on the street.
"Young Master Yun is indeed stronger than us, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Moreover, no matter how strong you are, you can't beat the glory warrior." Snake Muqing's eyes were full of smiles: "Young Master Yun is very powerful, sisters know deep down in their hearts.
Very, if no one supports you, how can you be invincible?"
"With you guys here, I can beat the Rongguang warrior." Zhou Xingyun curled his lips. She Muqing was right. He fought against the Rongguang warrior with the three-axe technique. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, he would not be able to defeat the Rongguang warrior.
Face to face, even three of them couldn't defeat one glory warrior.
"We can at least delay some time so that you can escape and call for reinforcements." Ren Jiechan held a long sword in his hand and was wary of his surroundings. The main reason was that a few days ago, the Panlongs suddenly launched a fierce attack and killed the masters of the Jianghu Association.
Ferry Township forced them to Hangyu City.
Nowadays, all the masters of the Jianghu Association gather in Hangyucheng, so masters from various factions of the Jianghu Association can be seen everywhere on the streets of Hangyucheng.
"No, I should delay the time so that you can call for reinforcements." Zhou Xingyun chatted all the way, brought seven beauties, and walked into a restaurant.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" The waiter came to greet him. Zhou Xingyun opened his mouth and ordered a table of meat dishes. He sat down leisurely and enjoyed it slowly.
In the past few days, Zhou Xingyun's big plan has been progressing very smoothly.
When he had time to go shopping today, Zhou Xingyun planned to spend a little money to have a delicious meal and treat himself well.
Let’s talk about the recent results first.
First, the young warriors of the Jianghu Association split into two factions because Zhenbei Qi held a celebration banquet at Tianlong Village.
One is the radical faction with Qiu Zhiping, Jiangnan Qishao and others as the axis, who are full of malicious intentions towards Zhou Xingyun.
The second is the moderate faction with Xue Bingxin and Lu Liuyi as the axis, who are willing to fight with Zhou Xingyun for friendship.
Zhenbeiqi held a celebration banquet at Tianlong Village, alienating the young warriors of the Jianghu Association, and prompted many disciples of the Jianghu sect to become dissatisfied with Qiu Zhiping and the Seven Young Masters of Jiangnan.
Zhou Xingyun was a powerful prince, and the Jianghu Association should have joined forces with him to deal with Panlong evil people. However, Qiu Zhiping and Jiangnan Seventh Young Master did not know what medicine they had taken wrong, and they insisted on fighting Zhou Xingyun.
As a result, many young warriors from Jianghu Association sects responded to Lu Liuyi's invitation, attended Zhenbei Cavalry's celebration banquet, and began to violate Qiu Zhiping and others.
Xue Bingxin took this opportunity to win over people's hearts and unknowingly consolidated her position, becoming a more popular representative of the Young Leaders faction than Qiu Zhiping and Jiangnan Seven Young Masters.
Now, more than 60% of the young warriors in the Jianghu Association have begun to support Xue Bingxin.
At Zhenbeiqi's celebration banquet, Xue Bingxin wooed young warriors who were unwilling to be enemies of Zhou Xingyun and consolidated the power of the moderate faction. At the same time, she reported to Qiu Zhiping and others that the reason why she did this was to deliberately cater to Lu Liuyi and others, and became
Leader of the moderate forces.
Xue Bingxin told Qiu Zhiping sincerely that only in this way could she sing a double act with him and control both the moderates and the radicals. Xue Bingxin claimed that she became the leader of the moderates in order to assist
Qiu Zhiping takes power!
So, on the afternoon of the second day when Zhenbeiqi held a celebration banquet, the Zhenwu knights of the Lingshan sect, Lin Qiao, the Winter Sword of Manxue Sword Village, Pu Dengjun, the eldest son of Zhanjiazhuang, Zhan Tianci, all came with Xue
Bing Xin attended the banquet together and had a great time.
Secondly, the second achievement achieved by Zhou Xingyun was indeed achieved by Panlong Zhong. They successfully trapped the main masters of the Jianghu Association in Hangyu City.
In the past, the Jianghu Association used Ferry Township as the base camp of the front line because Ferry Township has a very good geographical location. Once the Panlong warriors attack, no matter which route they take, Ferry Township can quickly send people to support them.
Now that the Panlongs have occupied Ferry Township, no matter which way the Jianghu Association wants to break through the Panlongs' encirclement, the Panlongs can quickly send people to support the battle.
According to the news that Zhou Xingyun inquired about, Qian Chenke personally led people to clear the way two days ago, trying to break through the siege network from the official road to the east of Hangyu City. However, he was intercepted by Liufan Zunren. In the end, the two sides had a vigorous fight, and the Jianghu Association again
Forced to retreat to Tianlong Village.
After being delayed outside for so long, many martial arts sects who joined the Jianghu Association began to worry. Because they received bad news from their sects every day, and evil warriors harassed their sects all the time.
Finally, Zhou Xingyun learned from Ning Xiangyi that the nine major national-protecting sects had developed agriculture in their own sect according to the farming and cultivation techniques provided by Zhou Xingyun at the beginning of this year. By the end of summer, the gardens were full of fruits and the grains were abundant.
Nowadays, people from the nine major national protection sects have begun to transport early-ripening fruits to major towns and sell them, making every family rich and profitable.
On the other hand, the sects of the Jianghu Association are in great danger because they are restrained by the Panlongs.
It is said that Si Wenchen and the Panlong warriors in the rear received orders from Her Majesty the Holy Lady and made tactical adjustments. They no longer captured the gates of the Righteous Sect as before.
In the past, Si Wenchen and others directly captured the Zhengdao sect and plundered the main sect.
Now, Si Wenchen and others are not attacking, but are fighting guerrillas near the main branch of the Zhengdao sect. Once they see Zhengdao warriors coming and going, they will harass them.
The righteous warriors came in large numbers, and the dragons and warriors came
If there are few righteous warriors coming, the Panlong warriors will attack fiercely, capture the righteous warriors, and then ask for ransom from their masters.
As a result, it will be difficult for the righteous warriors of all martial arts sects to move forward...
In the past, at the end of summer and early autumn, the disciples of each martial arts sect would form a small team of three or five disciples and use horse-drawn carriages to transport fruits and grains to surrounding towns to sell the agricultural products cultivated by their sect.
Now it's no longer possible. Let alone a group of three or five people, or a group of twenty or thirty people. When you meet Si Wenchen and other Panlong warriors, they will give you free money. Not only will the agricultural products be robbed, but even people will be kidnapped by them.
Therefore, if various martial arts sects want to do business and transport their own agricultural products to shops in cities and towns for sale, they must organize a large army of at least a hundred or ten people.
However, if a martial arts sect organizes a large force of 100 people to escort a large amount of agricultural products, can they safely enter the city to do business?
No! Because once the Zhengdao sect of Wulin organizes a hundred or ten people to escort supplies into the city, the warriors of Panlong Zhong will attack their sect, leaving the Zhengdao sect distracted.
To sum up, the Jianghu Association is in a state of war and is at war with the Panlongs. As a result, all the martial arts sects who have joined the Jianghu Association are trapped in the quagmire of war, and members of each sect are almost unable to go to towns to do business and make money normally.
The most tragic sect among them is none other than the Lingshan Sect, one of the top ten famous sects.
The fruits of the Lingshan Sect are the best in the world, and their main sect and branches are based in Qingshan. The Lingshan Sect members will plant all kinds of peaches, plums, melons and fruits on their own territory.
However, a while ago, bad news came from branches of the Lingshan Sect in various places. Panlong warriors turned into fruit thieves. They gathered in groups every day to steal the fruits that the Lingshan Sect disciples had worked hard to grow.
No, that cannot be said to be stealing, it should be regarded as robbing!
Panlong warriors led a group of local ruffians, or people from slums who had difficulty making a living, and frantically robbed the fruits cultivated by the Lingshan sect.
When the warriors from the Lingshan sect arrived, the Panlong warriors stepped forward to cover the large army carrying baskets of fruits down the mountain.
The Panlong warriors led a group of people who were greedy for cheap, and ran all over the mountains and plains, picking fruits and vegetables grown by the Lingshan sect and carrying them back to the city to sell, making the Lingshan sect disciples very difficult to guard against...
"Master Yun...Master Yun!"
"I am here."
"What are you thinking about?" She Muqing saw Zhou Xingyun holding the chopsticks without moving for a long time, and couldn't help but curiously asked him what he was thinking so absorbed in.
"I was wondering why you didn't bring me food."
"Don't you have any hands? Why do you have to let us pick it up for you?" Ji Shuiqin said Zhou Xingyun's fault, but with the chopsticks in his hand, he picked up a piece of someone's favorite roasted venison with honey sauce and put it in his big bowl.
inside.
"He's just lazy." Ren Jiechan pulled out his dagger, cut the roasted whole rabbit's belly into crispy slices, and put them into Zhou Xingyun's bowl.
"You guys are so kind to me." Zhou Xingyun's eyebrows were beaming with joy as he took big mouthfuls of rice, thinking that he should bring more girls from the Yan Ji Army to the restaurant for dinner in the future.
"I received a letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess. They have basically finished handling the matters in the capital. Zhiqian and the others have left the capital first and will arrive in Hangyu City in the next few days. Princess Yongming plans to stay in the palace and wait for you to bring Jianghu to justice.
After finishing the above matters, go back to the palace to pick her up." Ling Yikui briefly explained the situation in the capital. Now Wuchanghua, Tina, and Xia Long are all staying in the imperial city to accompany Han Qiumiao.
"Why do you have to pick her up from me?"
"You repelled the invading Huang Feng Kingdom and defended the northern border. The emperor planned to reward you personally. However, the emperor also heard a little bit about the Jianghu Association and Panlong Zhong, so he suspended the reward until you took care of Jianghu affairs.
, and then go to Beijing to meet the saint. Also, Her Royal Highness knows that you held a celebration banquet in Tianlong Village and spent a lot of money... She was very angry. "
"No way." Zhou Xingyun looked at Ling Yikui with a guilty conscience: "The money I squandered was all from Yushu Zhifang, why is Xiao Qiuqiu angry?"
"Yushu Fang is sponsored by Her Royal Highness the Princess. The reason why Qin Shou and others listened to your orders and spent so much money to hold a celebration banquet in Tianlong Village is because you are the scapegoat." Ling Yikui explained in a non-trivial manner, Qin Shou and the Yushu Fang Zhifang
livestock, arbitrarily diverted Yushu Zhifang's funds, and held a celebration banquet in Tianlong Village. It seemed that they fell into Zhou Xingyun's trick, but in fact... they took advantage of Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun is Princess Yongming's consort. As long as Qin Shou and others tell Han Qiumiao that they are following Brother Yun's instructions to hold a celebration banquet, they can shift the responsibility to Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun thought he had deceived Qin Shou and others, but he didn't know that he was the stupidest person. He was sold by Yushu Zefang's livestock, and he stupidly counted the money for him.
"Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" A cold and biting feeling spread from the soles of Zhou Xingyun's feet to the top of his head. Han Qiumiao knew that he was spending money recklessly, so it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
"If I had told you earlier, could we still receive gifts?" Luo Qing smiled even more and shook the jade hairpin in her hand. This was a gift given to her by Zhou Xingyun at great expense.
"It turns out that you all know!" Zhou Xingyun later realized that he had been deceived: "I was so kind to you, but you thought you were in trouble and teamed up to deceive me! It hurts my heart.
ah!"
"We haven't been good enough to you these days?" Ren Jiechan said something. Recently, Zhou Xingyun ran to the sword training pavilion every day, and the girls from the Yan Ji Army all circled around him, trying to make him happy as much as possible.
"That's right. Then please always be nice to me in the future." Zhou Xingyun smiled stupidly. This deal is not a loss. At worst, he will be scolded by Han Qiumiao, and then he can complain to the girls of Yan Ji Army and pretend to be pitiful.
To be continued...
