The best way, on the contrary, is Li Chengyu's method, not to let Li Taoyao meet outsiders. But now he brought Tao Yao to Zhengfu Grange, which is really stupid.

Wei Youqing thought of this, pulled up Li Taoyao and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's still early to Dagaoguan, your way of walking, you can't go anywhere when it's dark." ”

Li Taoyao obediently followed Wei Youqing into the carriage, pulled the curtain, and looked at the patches of land outside.

"What's there?"

Wei Youqing looked in the direction of Li Taoyao's finger, and saw a cyan wooden stake inserted on the side of the road, and a golden rhinoceros was carved on the stake.

Wei Youqing smiled: "You don't recognize this? This is the family emblem of the Zheng family. He pointed to the large piece of land in front of him and said, "This large piece of land belongs to the Zheng family of the Duke of Weiguo." This kind of family emblem is used to enclose the land, and there is one in front. ”

Li Taoyao nodded as if she didn't understand. The carriage went on, turned a corner, and turned another hill, and the rhinoceros emblem was gone. Replaced with a white stag.

Wei Youqing didn't wait for Li Taoyao to ask, pointed to these stag and said, "This clan emblem belongs to your uncle's Wu Changhou Zhao family," he pointed to the land that was almost twice the size of the Zheng Mansion Grange just now, and said, "This large piece of land here belongs to your uncle's family." ”

Li Taoyao sighed: "I didn't know that my uncle's family was so rich and bought so much land." It's a pity that my uncle died. ”

Wei Youqing didn't want to have a conflict with Li Taoyao, but he had something to say. He thought for a while and sighed: "The noble Tian Lianqian Mo, the cheap have no place to stand." Your uncle has died, and the deceased is honored, and he is an elder, so I shouldn't have said it. But the fact is that he didn't buy these lands, but he relied on the fact that he was the queen's mother, and he snatched them from ordinary people. ”

Sure enough, as Wei Youqing expected, Li Taoyao showed a look of surprise on her face, hesitated for a long time, and then resolutely said: "No, my uncle is very rich, if he robs other people's things, my mother will not agree." Don't listen to others slandering him. ”

Wei Youqing did not argue with Li Taoyao, of course Zhao Boyong would not send troops to rob the people's land, but reused the greedy officials, and those who did not obey would be punished in vain. As a result, a large number of peasants either became their serfs, or fled into the mountains and forests and became thieves.

Li Taoyao said a cruel word, and when she saw Wei Youqing's serious face when she didn't speak, her heart became empty, knowing that most of what Wei Youqing said was true. She timidly asked, "What about the Patriotic Family?" My aunt is the eldest princess, so she won't do this kind of thing. ”

Wei Youqing listened to Li Taoyao's tone, and finally believed his words, and was relieved. I feel that Li Taoyao seems to have reduced her intelligence, but in fact she is much wiser than before.

Wei Youqing secretly wondered that this was probably because Li Taoyao's soul was restrained by that wisp of evil thoughts, and his vision was suppressed. Now that the evil thoughts are gone, and the mind is clear, people will understand things.

This is probably the truth of "if you lose your horse, you will know the blessing and the curse". Wei Youqing felt that since Li Taoyao could distinguish between right and wrong, it was better to tell the truth and explain things clearly to her. He replied very seriously:

"Of course it's all the same. It's just that Wei Guogong is a person who knows restraint, and he always does something lower than your uncle, so as not to become a bird. Do you know that these relatives are so strong that even your Li royal family has to give three points. ”

Li Taoyao was silent. Wei Youqing no longer said much, his "you Li royal family" just wants Li Taoyao to understand that you are the Li family, the Zheng family and the Zhao family have successively controlled the government since Li Xuan's founding of the country, and they are the political enemies of your Li royal family, not relatives.

When he arrived at Dagaoguan, he didn't see Hua Ciyang, no one knew where he went, Wei Youqing secretly guessed that Hua Ciyang might have gone to the underworld again.

Although Hua Ciyang's fox demon had lost most of it, it had been a long time since he had started refining Ning Yuan Dan. He needed the spirit of the underworld to sustain himself in the mortal world.

After all, it was not in line with the rules of the heavenly realm to always borrow the body to return the yang, and he didn't want to be reincarnated like Wei Youqing and the others, so he needed to start over.

The most important thing is that Hua Ciyang is now close to the demon body, if he is reincarnated, he will not be able to be a human, and it is very likely that he will be reincarnated as an ordinary fox and cultivate again.

Of course, this is what Hua Ciyang is unwilling, he would rather go to the underworld every once in a while, relying on the Underworld Beast Milk and Ning Yuan Dan to maintain his demon body in the Yang Realm.

Since Hua Ciyang was not there, they did not stay in Dagaoguan. Going back was unwilling, neither of them wanted to see the Zheng family and the Zhao family's grange again.

Then continue to go west, although Wei Youqing specially chose such a good day to travel, but Wanquan Mountain is full of water, it is already cloudy, and now it is winter, it has just snowed, and most of the snow on the cold road in the mountains has not melted, and it has been frozen into ice lumps.

Although Xiao Ji had excellent driving skills and the two horses were specially trained, due to the slippery mountain road, the carriage spun in place several times, which frightened Li Taoxiao and screamed.

Seeing this, Wei Youqing had the intention to show his skills in front of Li Taoyao in order to gain the heart of the beauty, and saw that it was already noon, if he didn't leave quickly, he would have to stay in Jinse Town, otherwise he would not be able to leave Wanquan Mountain until dark.

Wei Youqing pinched the trick with his left hand, and with a flick of his hand, a red flame flew out from under his hand, melting all the ice lumps on the mountain road hundreds of zhang in front of him, and even the snow water was roasted.

Because Wei Youqing's flames were thrown out accurately, only melting the ice and snow, and not burning anything else, the green mountains were still green, only revealing the gray gravel road under the ice lumps.

Xiao Ji admired and applauded, Wei Youqing waved his hand as if he didn't care, and looked back at Li Taoyao with a little smugness in his heart, but was shocked to find that Li Taoyao's expression was confused, and his eyes were erratic, as if he was possessed by something.

Wei Youqing was startled, and first thought that the big thing was not good, could it be that the fire spiritual power he showed off was exactly the same as the fire spiritual power used by the monkey fairy that night, so that Li Taoyao's memory was restored?

But he immediately understood that this was impossible, Li Taoyao was not "not remembering", but his soul was drained, and he did not "remember".

Wei Youqing hurriedly touched the soul-nourishing jade pendant hanging on his waist, and his heart sank under a sip. The soul nourishing jade pendant was much lighter, and he didn't need to pick it up to see it, and he knew that the wisp of soul had run away.

The raised soul ran away, the chance of this kind of thing happening is too small, not to mention that the soul of the green fox Wei Youqing has only been raised for a short period of time, and it is impossible to become an independent whole soul, unless it is attached to something like a small worm and grass.
