Chapter 822: At the foot of Tianshi Mountain
"Will you take me with you? I also want to see the magnanimity of Tianshi Sect." Yu Ping swallowed.
"I think you want to try the delicious food of Tianshi Sect, right? There is no need to stay here. You and Uncle Zhou are both coming with me. Tianshi Sect is in Yanzhou, not far from us. I am going to learn from Zhao Shoufu , Traveling thousands of miles, practicing while walking. When you join the Tianshi Sect, take the time to go to the nearby Guxuan Mountain." "The
largest sect in martial arts, tsk tsk, I really want to see it." Yu Ping said.
"I'm going to visit Lord Supervisor and Marshal Chen and set off tomorrow. You pack up, find a caravan heading towards Tianshi City, and we'll hit the road together." "Okay." At dawn, the three of them put on their casual clothes and carried them on their
backs
. Bags, quietly left the Zhenbei Army, joined a large caravan of 300 people, and left Beiyuan City.
Zhenbeijun, supervise the military mansion.
When Cha Fuli heard the spies' report, he thought to himself: "The dignified commander and the commander-in-chief leave as soon as they say it. This Li Qingxian really does what he says. It seems that he had to withdraw as planned before. This person is not a man who is fighting for power and gain." As for Lu Han, I'll just be perfunctory. You are the righteous son of the Governor, and so am I. You are a martial arts genius, but you have just been promoted to the fourth rank. Let's wait until the day you are promoted to the first rank. We will offend a future for you. A great life magician, I am not that stupid to this extent..."
Marshal's Mansion.
"Commander, Li Qingxian is really gone."
"Oh, you were so optimistic. In the end, the Zhenbei Army was not taken over at all." "
I thought he would be able to contain Cha Fuli, but who knew he was also a coward."
"Now that I'm gone, I don't know if he will come back in the Year of the Monkey or the Moon of the Horse. By then, Modao Army will not be able to rely on him." "Commander,
what do you think of this matter?"
The generals looked at Chen Yingyang.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force them."
In the spring of the north, sand and dust are swirling, and the caravan is heading south.
Li Qingxian often sat in the carriage to practice, and occasionally got out of the carriage to chat with nearby businessmen, guards, bodyguards, monks, etc.
Every night when setting up camp and resting, the bonfire would be lit, and Li Qingxian would be there, sitting among the crowd, talking and laughing with them.
The caravans come from all over the world, some are silent, like Zhou Hen, and some are looking for fun, like Yu Ping.
Li Qingxian's status as a seventh-grade Taoist cultivator was inconspicuous, but no one provoked him. Everyone who saw him would call him "Master Li".
A few days ago, everyone in the caravan was unfamiliar and relatively reserved.
After three days, everyone became familiar with each other, and these people who traveled around the world opened up and chatted freely.
Different people are scattered around different campfires, disconnected from each other in circles.
Sometimes, Li Qingxian goes to martial arts circles.
The warriors are the loudest among everyone. They always like to talk about where the treasure was found, which sect produced the genius, which sect was wiped out, and occasionally they discuss martial arts.
When the conversation got deeper, they would whisper some rumors about monks, such as the ferocity of the demon sect and the weirdness of the evil sect. be understood.
In the end, they couldn't help but argue about the ranking of today's martial arts. When the argument got to the extreme, they would curse and compete with each other and try a few moves.
Fortunately, there are people in charge, and once three moves are passed, they will stop.
Three moves can't tell the difference between life and death, but they are enough to give a rough idea of one's performance.
If you lose, you won't be able to bear it, so you'll go hide in another circle for a few days and then come back.
The pride of winning subsided within two days, just like always.
Occasionally go to the businessman's circle. When businessmen gather together, they like to analyze the trends of the court, analyze the situation in various places, share gossip, and discuss what is most profitable and what is loss-making, who can be messed with, and where not to go.
While chatting, the businessmen couldn't help complaining about the low status of businessmen. In some places, businessmen's children were not even allowed to attend good academies. Some even accused local tyrants of not treating businessmen as human beings, and arbitrarily framed businessmen and then plundered their property. In the eyes of others, businessmen are fat-headed, but actual businessmen are worse than dogs of the powerful and powerful.
At the end of the day, businessmen count their merits as usual, because people in the world underestimate themselves.
If there are too many complaints, someone will remind them if they are brought up to the senior officials. Then everyone will change the subject and start laughing at the brainless warriors, clumsy farmers and confused long-term workers. Occasionally, they will also talk about romantic affairs.
Li Qingxian also often went to the escort circle of those unworthy guys to chat.
They either told stories about the Zhang family and the Li family, stories about heroes, or told about places that had been hit by disasters. From time to time, they told some true and false secrets, pretending to be incomprehensible and smiling.
At the end of the conversation, these people will definitely say that the world is not good, cite various tragic examples around them, and tell people how to avoid it.
There are also some small groups accompanying the chamber of commerce, just chatting around their own small campfire.
In the past, Li Qingxian mainly understood the world through the imperial palace newspapers and night guard intelligence, but now he hears the virtual and real world with his own ears.
As the team traveled south, they often encountered small groups of monsters or horse bandits.
Most of the monsters or horse bandits watched from a distance and left. Occasionally, someone came and the team announced their names and backgrounds, or showed their middle-class status, and those people dispersed.
After walking for ten days, Li Qingxian recalled that he encountered monsters or horse bandits snooping on him an average of ten times a day.
The caravan passed through Tianfang City, Shiyuan City, Lanhu City and Baoshan City, and finally saw the huge Tianshi Mountain rising into the sky like a giant tower from a distance.
At the foot of the green Tianshi Mountain, a white city lies in front of it.
Many people in the team breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're finally here!"
"It's so uncomfortable to be on tenterhooks all day long!"
"I'm lucky that I didn't encounter any gangsters along the way, otherwise there would have been a big battle."
Yu Ping glanced at Li Qingxian and Zhou Hen, and thought of these two men, even the more lucky robbers and horse bandits would avoid them.
After ten days, everyone became familiar with each other, no longer threatened, relaxed, and chatted loudly.
The middle-grade guard captain of the caravan laughed and cursed a few words and stopped caring.
Not long after, some store clerks were holding flyers and distributing advertisements.
Paper is not expensive these days, but no one is willing to throw it away and just catch it in their hands.
"Sure enough, it is another advertisement for the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. It is indeed a big company backed by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Look at the jingles and children's songs above. As long as there is a city with Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, children can sing it. Tsk tsk..." "Wanhe Chamber of Commerce
" It's really great. In this way, when these children grow up, who wouldn't want to buy his stuff?" "
His stuff is really good, such as bone china, translucent colored glaze, and all kinds of exquisite things. It's amazing."
"It's nothing more than strange skills and tricks, it can't be put on the stage." An old Confucian scholar who was not yet a good scholar shook his head.
"In addition to these good-looking ones, the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce also has a variety of cheap tools, whether they are plows, carriages, scissors, etc., which can help people. Why can't they be on the stage? Even the palace uses Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, so what? What's the name of a countertop if not me?"
"In a few years, everything you wear and eat will be from the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce." "
Don't argue with this pedantic old guy. If he is really knowledgeable, he won't be able to avoid it. As for only seeing one side in darkness. Anyway, I am especially grateful for his glass lamp. In the past, the oil lamp almost blinded my eyes..."
