"Senior is right."
Xiao Ruyu raised his hand and clenched his fists, but he didn't want to accept his favor because of these thousands of mortals, so he changed his mind and said respectfully:
"It's just that before the junior went out, the elders in the family specially instructed that the closer the two families are, the more these trivial things must be separated, so that there will be no suspicion.
Seeing that he was so clean and responded in a reasonable manner, Li Tongya thought highly of him and said softly:
"Then what do you mean?"
"Each batch of mortals is delivered to Lixia County, and my Xiao family will subsidize it, and one spirit stone for a thousand mortals."
The price given by Xiao Ruyu is considered kind, after all, the Qingchi Sect has a bad head, all the families look at this Shang Sect's eyes and act, uncontrolled mortals have always been given and demanded, never regarded as any important resource, some immortal cultivators have special needs, but they will still value it, and the rest are even more disdainful.
"Then let's settle it like this."
Li Tongya responded, and then saw Xiao Ruyu nodding and speaking again:
"There is one more thing that the juniors have come, the ancient Li Road has been in disrepair for a long time, it is counted in the mountains and forests, and wolves, tigers, and monsters are rampant.
"My Xiao family wants to rebuild the ancient Li Road, set up post points at the front and back ends of each family, and the vacancy will be filled by my Xiao family, so that many fetal monks and mortal merchants can also travel to and from the county...... Let all the families on the Guli Road benefit together."
"Oh?"
Li Tongya didn't expect the Xiao family to do such a thankless thing, so he paused slightly and said softly:
"The Xiao family took the lead in doing this, which is also very beneficial to my Li family, so naturally there is no reason to disagree...... It's just that with all due respect, this matter is thankless, so why bother the nobles?"
Li Tongya is not nosy, but the two families have been friends for many years, and Xiao Yuansi and Xiao Chuting are kind to the Li family, so they persuaded each other.
"Thank you seniors for your concern."
Xiao Ruyu met many families all the way to Guli Road, and each family readily agreed, and it is estimated that there were many people secretly sneering in their hearts, only Li Tongya said a word of comfort, and shook his head slightly at the moment, explaining:
"The Xiao family's alchemy and refining veins cooperate with many families, raising 30% of the monks within the radiating range of the entire Lixia County, which is an important business for my Xiao family's expenses...... It is inconvenient for Ruyu to disclose unnecessary words, so please forgive me, seniors."
Li Tongya heard this, and combined with Xiao Chuting quietly became the Purple Mansion, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and had some guesses, and said in a deep voice:
[To be honest, I have been using the source change app to read books and catch up on updates, switch sources, and read aloud with many tones, huanyuanapp. Android and Apple are all available. 】
"Needless to say, if it's inconvenient."
Xiao Ruyu nodded slightly, discussed the distribution location of the post station, and made many arrangements before taking his leave.
Li Xuanling sent him out of the courtyard, saw him riding the wind east, and then returned to the yard, saw Li Tongya pressing the teacup on the head and being silent, followed by silence for a while, and asked:
"Father, the Xiao family has contact with the Mushroom Linyuan and Linghai County families, and they have been trading for many years. Who has such great energy that can make the families dare not interact with the Xiao family?"
Li Tongya put down the teacup, shook his head, and replied:
"The Xiao family is afraid that they will break away from the Qingchi Sect and stand on their own."
"What?!"
Li Xuanling was stunned, and was shocked at the moment, and said in an awkward voice:
"This ...... The Qingchi Sect now has three early Purple Mansion Early, one Purple Mansion Middle Stage, and even Chi Wei at the peak of Purple Mansion...... He... How dare they?"
"The Xiao family is waiting for Chi Wei to sit down."
Li Tongya combed for a moment, with seven or eighty percent certainty in his heart, squinted his eyes, and said softly:
"Xiao Chuting has become the Purple Mansion and already has the qualifications to stand on the stage. As soon as Chi Wei died, the Xiao family naturally broke away from the Qingchi Sect and occupied this tattered Lixia County, backed by Mushroom Forest Plain and Wangyue Lake.
"Purple Mansion ......"
Li Xuanling nagged, sighed deeply, and replied:
"The families and the three sects and seven gates are just tools in the hands of the Purple Mansion......"
"It's just that once they break away from the Qingchi Sect, where are the families in the counties that dare to go out to do business with the Xiao family, the Xiao family will naturally look for new origins and dumping targets, so they want to go west, repair the ancient Li Road, and target the Mushroom Forest Plain and Wangyue Lake families scattered all over the place without a large county city."
After Li Tongya finished speaking, the confirmation in his heart became a little more confident, and he thought to himself:
"It's just how can my Li family protect themselves and win benefits in such a big turmoil...... The misfortune has diverted eastward, changing the situation where the Yu family is dominant by Mochizuki Lake."
————
Li Yuanjiao stood in the courtyard with a sword, a girl with tied hair standing in front of him, a pair of apricot eyes staring straight at the sword in his hand, the two confronted each other in the yard for a while, Li Yuanjiao saw that she was light, most of them took a smart and repeated path, and the wooden sword in his hand was plucked and walked close to her face.
The cork gun in the girl's hand swept away, took a few steps back, pressed her left hand against Li Yuanjiao's wooden sword, raised her eyebrows and smiled:
"Brother Jiao, you are so cunning."
"Hmph."
Li Yuanjiao snorted softly, also put away his sword and retreated, and replied:
"What is cunning or not, but Qinghong, your marksmanship is quite solid and can block a few of my moves."
Li Qinghong smiled, understanding that she had actually fallen behind before, so she had to say aggrievedly:
"I have a swordsmanship inheritance at home, so it is naturally easy to learn, I have invited the best gunner under the mountain for this marksmanship, but it is also thankless to learn......"
"There is a swordsmanship inheritance at home that can be practiced, what kind of gun to practice, marksmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master, if no one teaches you, I am afraid it will be difficult to get started for the rest of your life."
Li Yuanjiao curled his lips, Li Qinghong stopped the spear on the ground, and said in a childish voice:
"I had a headache when I saw that swordsmanship, so my father took a lot of weapons for me to choose, and people said that one inch was long and one inch strong, so I took a gun.
Li Yuanjiao saw that it was Li Xuanling's decision, so he had to put out the idea of telling her to practice swordsmanship, hung the wooden sword on the wall, and tidied up her clothes.
The courtyard door rang twice, and a respectful voice came:
"Young master, Madam calls you over!"
"Got it."
Li Yuanjiao responded, and saw an old servant standing outside the courtyard with his head down, who had always served in front of his mother, and said in a low voice:
"What happened?"
"Reporting back to the young master, there are more and more people from Dongshan, saying that it is ...... Mu Jiaoman... died of serious injuries, and he had already gone the night before."
Li Yuanjiao's eyes lit up, he didn't feel anything about the death of his uncle, whom he had never met, but his heart was moved, and when he saw Li Qinghong on the side, he laughed out loud, turned his head and asked:
"What?"
Although Li Qinghong didn't know the details, she vaguely had a natural intuition or a keen sense of smell about the situation to remind her, Li Qinghong pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"Not really, it's a good thing anyway!"
"Hey."
Li Yuanjiao walked out of the yard quickly, ran out excitedly, and said with a smile:
"Dongshanyue, nine towns, and twenty-six tribes will soon be owned by my family!"
