Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

Chapter 176 Different Opinions, Sit On The Diaoyutai

the next day.

The news that Zhong Yan was seriously injured and dying spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the city.

Then, out of nowhere, word spread that the robbers might have come from the Colosseum.

Restaurants and tea houses, streets and alleys, intensified.

Rumor has it that the word 'possible' disappeared and became affirmation, and it seemed that the Peng family did it.

As time went by, the rumors became more and more out of bounds.

Some even said that Peng Wanli personally participated in the action because he happened to be out of the city.

The cause, of course, was that the Peng family forced Zhong Yan to sell off the share of the Colosseum, and the two sides formed a grudge.

Zhongfu's 'Fierce Ape' was bullied and waited for revenge.

Peng Wanli acted preemptively, and snatched back the low-priced spirit stones he bought for the shares, without taking anything away.

Of course, there are also people who eat melons who hold opposing opinions, saying that on the day of Zhong Yan's wedding, Peng Wanli came to congratulate him with gifts, and there is no quarrel between the two parties.

But this kind of talk was quickly drowned out, saying that it was just a show.

People are like this, they always like to think of things as bad, tend to conspiracy theories, and love to watch other people's hilarious jokes.

Opinions vary, and so on...

Bai Siyuan was startled, he was the first to go to Cangbao Street, Yu Qingyao received him, and refused to meet with him on the grounds that 'my husband is recovering and it is inconvenient to meet'.

The monks who have good acquaintance with Zhong Yan get together, and each has their own guesses.

Some people feel sorry.

Some people are secretly happy.

It's true: I'm afraid that your life will be bad and you will lose a powerful friend, and I'm afraid that your life will be so good that you won't be able to catch up with it, and it will be hard to compare.

In the Yang family, Yang Yanqing's eyes flickered, and he muttered: "He was seriously injured and dying, it's true or not, why do I feel that this guy is not so easy to get into trouble!"

His Taoist companion Huo Qingqing said: "Would you like to visit with a gift? Or should I send an interrogation to Yu Qingyao?"

Yang Yanqing raised his hand to stop it: "Wait a little longer!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Ben frowned and muttered: "Peng's family, Peng Wanli..."

The general of the government army, the confidant of the city lord, and the three-faced spy "Chen Xiaorong" said: "City lord, why don't you send an interrogation to Miss Ziyue? Or will the general go there?"

Qin Ben shook his head: "No, my brother-in-law is full of tricks. If he is planning something, asking rashly may disrupt the plan."

Zhang Shun said: "Wait a little longer."

In the Colosseum, Peng Wanli brought back a group of monsters from his family. Hearing the rumors, he looked confused: "Fuck? I did it? How the hell don't I know?"

He looked at the black-robed old man: "I'm really going to die? Didn't the eight hundred spirit stones and the three Law Weapons be given away for nothing? I still count on him to bet on him!"

Sitting on the grand teacher's chair, he frowned and said: "Can I go to the Zhongfu to explain? This guy has something to do with Qifeng, don't wrong me, my lord, when the yellow mud gets into the crotch, it will be shit or shit."

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, it's all rumors. Don't you lose face if you go to the door now? Wait and see."

"That's true."

three days later.

Qin Ziyue and his maid Qin Youbai walked out of the gate of Zhongfu, and in the eyes of many followers, they took a sedan chair to the East District and entered the City Lord's Mansion.

"Meet my brother!"

"This servant has seen the Second Young Master!"

Qin Ben smiled and nodded, looking at his sister's face.

See her complexion glow with radiance and look more radiant than ever.

Obviously it has been nourished, the only shortcoming is the hidden worry between the brows.

"What's the situation with Zhong Yan?"

"My husband's life is safe."

Qin Ziyue said something simply, took out the Master Retinue token from his sleeve and handed it over.

"My husband needs to retreat to recuperate from his wounds, and he is unable to take up the position of a retinue mage, so I ask my brother to help me."

Qin Ben took the token and looked at it, his eyes flickering.

Zhang Shun cupped his hands and asked, "Madam Yue, do you have any guesses about the origin of the thieves?"

"Sir." Qin Ziyue returned the salute and said, "But I don't know, the leader is the Foundation Building powerhouse."

Zhang Shun asked again: "Master is back, have you seen Madam again in the past few days?"

Qin Ziyue was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "No."

Zhang Shun put his hands in his sleeves and stopped talking.

Qin Ben asked about Qin Ziyue's situation after he arrived in Zhongfu, and then asked the sergeant to send him out of the mansion.

"What do you think sir?"

Zhang Shun pursed his lips and said, "It feels a bit strange."

"First of all, the Peng family's purchase of the Colosseum was completely voluntary by Zhong Yan, and we are very clear about this."

"Compared to the future income of the Colosseum, 40,000 spirit stones are really small, but the Zhongfu is not at a disadvantage, especially when the capital is about to take over the Keqingfu."

"Then who spread the rumor that the Peng family forced the Zhong Mansion to sell the share?"

"Outsiders don't know. It's impossible for the Peng family. We didn't do it. Could it be Bai Siyuan? Or Qi Xianzong who was present?"

"Plus this time, since the coercion is nothing but nothing, why did the Peng family say that they took action, and they never saw the robbers' true faces."

"There is an uproar in the city, but there is no wind without waves!"

"in addition……"

Zhang Shun looked at the token in Qin Ben's hand and said, "Zhong Yan came back from a serious injury, and the mansion has been quiet for a few days. The first thing he did was to resign from his position as a mage and avoid contact with Si Tianjian. It was a wise move."

"But if we say that the whole matter is led by Zhong Yan himself..."

Zhang Shun showed suspicion, shook his head, and said: "You can directly propose to resign from the position of a mage, or you may be suspected of inviting you into the urn. Based on these two points, there is no need to go through so much trouble. If it is really his plan, there must be a purpose that we have not seen. !"

Qin Ben pondered for a long time and said: "Then his wish will be fulfilled, anyway, the guest house will have nothing to do with the city lord in the future."

"Come on!"

"Prepare a notice and post it in Keqing's house, saying that Zhong Yan is not suitable to continue to serve as a retinue mage, and he will be dismissed from his position, and the new appointment is to be determined..."

As soon as the announcement was made, the news spread quickly.

The crowd became more and more certain: Zhong Yan was seriously injured.

Finally, some daring desperadoes had evil thoughts, which became stronger and stronger, and they were eager to try.

The strength of the Zhongfu itself is not strong, and only two late stage players are confirmed, both of whom are on the seventh floor.

What Yuan Ziyi revealed to the outside world was the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, but no one knew her true details.

Even now, her ordinary appearance has never been shown in front of outsiders, it is covered with treasure condensed mist.

The rest, such as Gu Baiyu, are weak characters in the early and middle stages.

The reason why the Zhongfu can be as stable as Mount Tai in Azure Sun City is that there were few monks in Azure Sun City, and the general level was not high.

Second, after Zhong Yanchu went to Qingyang to make friends with Yang Yanqing, Bai Siyuan and others, with the help of his position as a retinue mage, he accumulated many contacts in a few years.

But now, Zhong Yan is seriously injured, the mage position is gone, and all kinds of relationships naturally fade away.

For close friends such as Bai Siyuan, it would be good if they don't throw stones into the well.

Come forward to help?

Without the value of mutual use, who will call you brothers and sisters?

To hoe the strong and help the weak, what a joke!

This is reality.

Of course, this is the general public opinion.

Those who really know the details of Zhong Yan will naturally not be reckless.

For example, the Yang family at this moment.

After some thought struggle, bearded Zhang Yufu felt that this was an opportunity, and said: "Master, the former Zhongfu should not be underestimated, and has a wide network of contacts. If you establish a family in Qingyang, you must be a strong competitor of the Yang family."

"Now that Zhong Yan is seriously injured, it's a good time to suppress him. Not to mention anything else, the profit from the Colosseum, the talisman revenue, and the wedding reception not long ago are a huge windfall!"

Among the guests, Liu Zhengchun's eyes flashed, and he said, "Zhong Yan was robbed, so he didn't take most of the resources with him, did he?"

Yang Yanqing directly said to Zhang Yufu: "There is no need to mention this matter again."

joke.

After intercepting and killing the mage retinue together, he secretly attached importance to Zhong Yan and kept an eye on the Zhongfu.

Outsiders don't know, but he knows it very well. Through Zhou's family, he learned that there were two women who had visited Zhongfu, and one of them was Pei Nanjin, the active fifth disciple of the Seventh Peak of Fire Cloud Sect.

Now that the family is just established, what the Yang family wants is to seek stability. Before the situation is unclear, he will not go to the Zhong family's idea.

"Xiaoqing, you can bring a gift to Zhongfu, you don't need to inquire, just chat with Yu Qingyao and catch up on the old days."

Huo Qingqing: "Yes, husband."

At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Patriarch, Immortal Master Ming Ang is asking to see you."

Yang Yanqing's eyes flashed, "Okay, I'll be here in a while, so I can entertain you."

Ming Ang, from Snake Island, Qi Refining Dzogchen Independent Cultivator, is a first-rank high-grade talisman master.

By visiting the door at this moment, it is obvious that they want to replace Zhong Yan and enter the cooperative talisman store in Fangshi.

...

Zhongfu, Shenyuan.

It took a few days for Yuan Ziyi to draw many formations of the White Jade Terrace, and together with her previous legacy, it was just right to build a second-tier defensive formation.

Zhong Yan said: "Put it on the east side door, if someone wants to sneak into the mansion, they are most likely to enter from there."

Yuan Ziyi nodded: "The assembly can be completed tonight."

"It's a pity that neither of us knows how to kill the formation." Zhong Yan sighed, it takes a lot of time to learn the formation pattern, successfully draw it, and then become proficient.

"But it's enough, there is a small psychedelic formation, plus dozens of martial arts experts and standard crossbows, whoever comes and who dies!"

Yuan Ziyi secretly thought that you are really brave, and you took the initiative to recruit the enemy, and asked seriously: "Aren't you afraid to come to the Foundation Building strong?"

Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Where is the foundation building strong? Azure Sun City currently has only one Colosseum, and the Peng family will not touch me for the time being."

"As for the outsiders, if they don't understand the situation, they won't take action at will. Once they understand, the matter is over, and outsiders can't figure out the details of the Zhongfu."

"Moreover, the higher the cultivation base, the more cautious you are, the more cautious you are, the more you will investigate, and the deeper you investigate, the less likely you will be to take action."

"Besides, my storage bag was robbed, who knows how many resources are missing?"

"Others only know about the income from the Colosseum and the income from making talismans. Who knew that Lin Zhengping gave me 120,000 spirit stones and many spirit materials?"

"It's just that some poor ghosts, Independent Cultivators, will covet the small fortune of the Zhongfu, and use crooked ideas to make up their minds."

"Ten late-stages will hit the sky!"

Zhong Yan looked affirmative and didn't take it seriously.

Yuan Ziyi said: "There is a Foundation Building monk at the gate of the city."

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows, "Which city gate?"

Yuan Ziyi: "Nancheng Gate, that hunchbacked old man sweeping the floor, the second floor of the Foundation Building, I have seen him several times before entering the Bell Mansion."

"Uncle Li?!" Zhong Yan was stunned, and a face with white hair and wrinkles appeared in his mind, showing his old appearance.

He had also drank with the opponent and the guarding sergeant, and when he passed the south gate, he occasionally greeted him when he saw him.

According to Li Henian, Uncle Li is a native of Qingyang and has been sweeping the floor at the South City Gate for more than ten years.

Yuan Ziyi finally saw Zhong Yan's stupefied look, inexplicably wanted to laugh, the corners of his mouth curled up, and explained:

"His aura is covered with treasures, and outsiders can't see it if he doesn't use his vitality at ordinary times, and his hunchback is also fake."

After a pause, she continued: "However, he is not as spiritual as me. I used 'Void Concealment' to hide my breath, but suppressed my realm. He doesn't know my details, and he only thinks that I am an ordinary Qi Refining eighth-level peak. Noticed me."

Zhong Yan nodded, frowned in thought, secretly guessing the identity of 'Uncle Li'.

Even if a Foundation Building monk lives in Fancheng for the rest of his life, he won't be sweeping the floor at the gate of the city for so many years.

Could it be related to the Marriage Pavilion... Zhong Yan recalled that when Yan Sandao was locked in the small black room in the Marriage Pavilion, his soul was searched, most likely it was from the monks of the Foundation Building.

After thinking for a while, he took out the talisman to send a letter to Zhong Xiaozhong, and asked him to find Liang Yi, the governor of the city, to find out.

Yuan Ziyi flipped his slender palm, and a black token appeared in his hand, and then waved, a female general in red armor stood beside him.

Zhong Yan looked at it and immediately recognized that it was a puppet, and the female general's eyes were a little dull.

"Her name is Hongjia, and she is for you to use. She has the second-tier combat power of the Foundation Building."

Yuan Ziyi handed over the token, and then shot a ray of divine consciousness into the center of Zhong Yan's eyebrows.

"This is a command formula, five spirit stones each time, can support about half a quarter of an hour of fighting time."

"I integrated the beast soul into her body, and sacrificed it with my spiritual consciousness every month, so I'm still pretty smart. As long as the order I send out roughly matches the meaning, I can complete the order."

Zhong Yan's eyes were bright, and he was worthy of being a puppeteer who "has made some small achievements". He praised: "So this is a puppet with a spirit!"

"Semi-conscious."

Yuan Ziyi nodded in response, blinked and said: "You know the spirit puppet, are you really planning to learn puppet art? It will take a lot of time."

"No problem!"

There is nothing to be afraid of if there is a system, just sleep with you.

Having said something in his heart, Zhong Yan got up and walked towards the lifelike red armored general who was as tall as a human, and examined it carefully.

"With her here, I can sit back and relax on the Diaoyutai!"

Yuan Ziyi stood up, her eyes were bright, and she thought: I still have my fourth sister!

It's a pity that Zhong Yan was only paying attention to the puppet at the moment, and didn't see her expression.

Otherwise, you will definitely find that her expression has changed a lot from the 'calm and indifferent' when she first entered the mansion.

Emotions can be dealt with.
