Chapter 345: Return to the Central Plains
Outside the Seychelles, on the border, a country safari shop.
Although the store is not large, the interior decoration is quite elegant. The shop has two rooms, both of which are three-storey. The front room is a restaurant, where martial arts people and passing traders often eat and drink; The latter room was the inn, and there were seven rooms on each of the three floors, making a total of twenty-one rooms.
In addition, on both sides of these two houses, there is also a stable, a firewood house. So in fact, the so-called small storefront is actually just a kind of humility.
At this moment, Mu Xiaojiu, Mu Duan and Mei Chaofeng are in this small shop.
"Hey, did you hear that? This year's Battle of the Forbidden City has been cancelled, supposedly because of this year's war. Moreover, the imperial court announced that the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City in the future would be changed to once every two years, and the Huashan Sword Debate would also be changed to once every four years. ”
"I'll go, I'll just say why it's time this year, and I haven't heard the news of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. It turned out to be canceled after a long time. ”
Listening to the discussion from the seat next to him, Mu Xiaojiu was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that this year's Forbidden Top Battle would be canceled, and even after that, it would become biennial.
It seems that this time the little emperor is going to beat him to death. But to be honest, it's okay to do this, everyone can fight with peace of mind, without the top of the Forbidden City as a bond, the martial arts people can also let go of their hands and feet, and not look ahead and backward, thinking about what to do if they are seriously injured and can't participate in the competition at the top of the Forbidden City.
"Hey, I said Brother Li, what year and month have you been hearing this? This kind of news is outdated, okay. Well, there's one that doesn't even know about this kind of outdated news. Don't talk about this, let me ask you, do you know the latest decree from the Imperial City? At this time, a man dressed as a scholar and with a flirtatious face spoke.
"Hey, what does the imperial city's decree have to do with us martial arts people?" After all, the guy surnamed Li was equivalent to being slapped in the face by this guy, and naturally he didn't have any good tone when he spoke.
"Hey, don't say it yet." The man dressed as a scholar shook off the folding fan in his hand, "I'll tell you the truth, Brother Li, this matter is really related to us martial arts people." The latest decree of the imperial court calls on all the warriors of the world to take action to defend the country. Moreover, this time, the imperial court directly delegated a lot of military affairs, and anyone who succeeded in doing it could be rewarded. The most important thing is that this time the reward given by the imperial court is not only gold and silver treasures, they have invested in blood! ”
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people: "What reward?" ”
The man dressed as a scholar sold a pass, first took a sip of wine, and then said: "Let me tell you, this time the imperial court has released three particularly attractive rewards, compared to which some ordinary martial arts cheats are nothing at all. ”
"The first reward is that you can worship under the door of the god Marquis Zhuge Zheng and become the senior brother of the four famous catchers."
"The second reward is the legacy of the previous generation Ou Yezi that was bought by the royal family when the Longquan Sword Sect auctioned the Divine Sword, the Nine Dragons Falling Immortal Sword."
"The third reward is a treasure robe woven from ice silk, fire silk and celestial silk - water and fire. It is said that this water and fire once appeared in the auction of Dayuan, but in the end it was secretly bought by our Central Plains royal family. ”
Mu Xiaojiu, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the piece that had been auctioned at a sky-high price was actually bought by the little emperor.
"But it's a pity, we are doomed to lose it." As he spoke, the scholar suddenly said this regretfully.
Someone next to him couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?" ”
The man dressed as a scholar shook his head, "I heard that Your Majesty has decided to give this piece of water and fire to Mu Xiao Jiumu Gongzi who has made great contributions, so we naturally have nothing to do with this water and fire." ”
Mu Xiaojiu thought that these people would scold them anyway, but who knew that after these people were silent for a while, someone finally said the first sentence, "This, there's nothing wrong." We will run to this border and prepare to sneak into the assassination of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it because we have been infected by Mu Daxia? Besides, this is not the first time that Mu Daxia has made meritorious contributions, compared to saying that one thing is in full swing, and there is nothing wrong with giving a few more. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people agreed.
Most of the people who can come to this store are people who are plotting to sneak across the border, whether they are players or aborigines, they all have some chivalrous intentions in their hearts, so most of these people only have envy and admiration for Mu Xiaojiu, even if they are jealous, it is only a little bit.
It's just that these people are special, and for most of the people in the Central Plains Martial Arts, they are actually still very jealous of Mu Xiaojiu.
After that, what these people talked about, Mu Xiaojiu and they didn't listen, because Xiao Er led them to the back room. And in the room, Mu Qian was impressively present. In addition to Mu Qian, there was another old acquaintance in this room.
"Childe."
"Master."
That's right, Mu Xiaojiu already has a disciple, and this disciple is the second child of the inn where Mu Xiaojiu drank when he saw Tao Piaopiao when he was in Longquan City, that is, the second child who was casually given two martial arts cheats by Mu Xiaojiu.
Later, when Mu Qian left, Mu Xiaojiu secretly asked Mu Qian to bring the second little Li Xiaobai over, and by the way, he was accepted as a disciple, a second disciple.
Needless to say, there is no need to say that the big disciple is such a simple question, it must be Xiaoya.
After Li Xiaobai followed Mu Qian to this store, Mu Qian did not say that he would let Li Xiaobai be the shopkeeper, but let him continue to be a junior here according to Mu Xiaojiu's instructions.
"Okay, sit down." Mu Xiaojiu pressed his hand twice, motioned for Mu Qian and Li Xiaobai to sit down, and then said, "Mu Qian, how do you feel over here?" ”
Mu Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally said honestly: "It's actually good, but I want to follow Childe more." ”
Mu Xiaojiu smiled helplessly, "Mu Qian, it's better to wronged you to continue here, I will ask Mu Duan to give you a map later, which is the road and places we have traveled after the two of us entered the Qing Dynasty this time, as well as some of my own views and discoveries about the border guards." If those martial arts people want to enter the Qing Dynasty, you can find a way to show them the map, which will give them some help to a greater or lesser extent. ”
Mu Qian nodded and didn't say much.
Then, Mu Xiaojiu looked at Li Xiaobai again, "Xiaobai, you pack your luggage tonight and leave with me tomorrow." Let's go back to the capital first, and then I will take you and your senior sister back to Peach Blossom Island, which is to worship me. ”
Li Xiaobai nodded, and there was a little more yearning in his eyes, after so long, his master finally had to officially take himself under the door.
Speaking of which, he hasn't learned internal skills other than swordsmanship so far. I don't know why, the master refused to let him learn internal skills.
Just when Li Xiaobai was thinking about this, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to him, "This is the supporting internal skill of the innate body-breaking formless sword qi of the divine skill, the innate non-phase divine skill, I will give you a day and a night to memorize it, and then burn the secret book." I'll take the test for you before we leave tomorrow night, and if you can't memorize it, then you'll be a junior here for the rest of your life. ”
Li Xiaobai thought about his previous tragic experience, couldn't help but shudder, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
After Mu Duan, Mu Qian and Li Xiaobai left in turn, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly stopped Mei Chaofeng, who was about to leave.
"Senior Sister Mei, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Mei Chaofeng frowned and turned to face Mu Xiaojiu.
"Senior Sister Mei, not counting me and the master's daughter, there are six disciples under the master's seat, namely Senior Brother Qu Lingfeng, Senior Brother Chen Xuanfeng, Senior Brother Mei, Senior Sister Mei, Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng, Senior Brother Wu Mianfeng, and Senior Brother Feng Mofeng. Now Senior Sister Mei, you and I have found it, Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng and Senior Brother Lu have also been taken under the door, and Senior Brother Chen Xuanfeng and Senior Brother Chen have passed away......" Speaking of this, Mu Xiaojiu noticed that there was a look of sadness on Mei Chaofeng's face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "But the remaining three senior brothers are still missing, I don't know if Senior Sister Mei, do you know where they may appear?" ”
Mei Chaofeng shook his head, "I don't know, since I escaped from Peach Blossom Island with the thief and the man, I haven't been in contact with several other senior brothers." After all, they were expelled from the island because of what I did with the thief man, so how could they not resent us in their hearts? ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded, as a player, how could he not know that Qu Lingfeng and Wu Mianfeng were dead? But Feng Mofeng is still alive, and he has appeared until the time of the Condor Heroes. Therefore, he actually wanted to see if Mei Chaofeng knew about Feng Mofeng.
It seems that I am going to go to Niujia Village...... One is to find the remains of Qu Lingfeng's senior brother, and the other is to bring Qu Lingfeng's orphan, the silly aunt, back to Peach Blossom Island.
Mu Xiaojiu thought in his heart, and thanked Mei Chaofeng at the same time, "Senior Sister Mei, thank you." In addition, before returning to Peach Blossom Island, I will take you to Taihu Lake Guiyunzhuang, which is where Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng Lu now lives. As you said, no matter what, they were all affected by you and Senior Brother Xuanfeng at the beginning, and they were somewhat resentful of you in their hearts, so I hope you can ask Senior Brother Lu for forgiveness first. Otherwise, even if you return to Peach Blossom Island, if the brothers and sisters are so discordant, it will not be beautiful after all, and the master will not be happy. ”
Mei Chaofeng was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”
