“After some reflection, I finally understand the difference between me and Xu Qi ‘an,” yang qianhuan said slowly. “What’s the Difference?”
Zhong Li was like a qualified sidekick.
Yang qianhuan didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, “”Junior martial sister Zhong,
Do you remember when Xu Qi ‘an was loved by the people?”
Zhong Li tilted her head, her hair drooped down, revealing a pair of bright eyes, and said in a soft voice, “”Solved major cases during the capital investigation?”
At that time, Zhong Li was ” suppressed ” at the bottom of the building as a poor girl, so she didn’t know Xu Qi ‘an yet. It was only later that she slowly understood Xu Qi’ an’s past.
no, although he was in the limelight during the capital investigation, his reputation was only spread in the officialdom. The common people have heard a little about him, but they don’t love him.
Yang qianhuan’s voice was low as she continued, ”
“What really made the people of the capital remember him was the battle of Dharma in Buddhism and his trip to Yunzhou. Later, he killed the state Duke in the market and his reputation reached its peak. However, this was fine. The subsequent legend of jadesun pass and the heroic act of killing the Emperor were fine as well. Actually, it’s all the same.”
After a pause, he said in a tone as if he had uncovered the truth behind the fog,
“Because he kept establishing the image of” serving the country and the people, “the people naturally loved him. Killing yuan jing was the same as killing an incapable ruler. If I kill Yongxing, I’ll be a traitor.”
Zhong Li was touched when she heard that. Senior brother yang finally understood.
“Thus, I’m going to start working on the welfare of the citizens and make them feel grateful to me,” yang qianhuan continued.
“Then what does senior brother yang plan to do?” Zhong Li said softly.
“I plan to open a few shops in the capital and help the people of the capital for free. Over time, I will surpass Xu Qi ‘an and become a hero in the eyes of the people of the capital.” Yang qianhuan’s words were powerful and resonating.
“Senior brother yang is really amazing, coming up with such a good idea.” Zhong Li was happy for him.
Yang qianhuan walked away with a satisfied expression after receiving the approval and praise of Junior Sister Zhong.
The cold wind whistled, and the grass rose and fell.
In the distance, there were thick dark clouds in the sky, rolling in with the strong wind. The group walked on the barren mountain path, mu nanzhi wrapped herself tightly in her Fox-fur coat on the back of the horse.
She frowned and turned to Xu Qi ‘an. “I’m a little cold.”
This year’s winter was exceptionally cold. Winter had just arrived, and the roof was already covered in frost.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He placed his palm on the little mare’s abdomen and transferred his Qi into it. He could now refine essence into Qi and produce a lot of Qi Ji, which was equivalent to the eighth level Qi cultivating stage.
The young mare felt the heat from her master and neighed happily. She turned her head and rubbed against Xu Qi ‘an’s face.
“The one surnamed Xu! ”
Mu Nanxi gritted his teeth in anger. Was she worse than a horse?
“For you, being frozen is also a good experience. It’s too boring to travel the martial world. ”
Although she said that, Xu Qi ‘an still held her little hand and transferred her
Li lingsu saw the interaction between the two, and thought to herself, “Madam is not pretty enough, which is why this old man Xu Qian is so disdainful of her.”
Thinking of his group of female confidants, all of whom were outstanding beauties, the Saint inevitably felt a sense of superiority. At the same time, he wondered whether Xu Qian was not fond of beauty or not good at dealing with women.
Otherwise, with his status and cultivation, what kind of beauty could he not get?
“However, although Madam Xu’s looks are ordinary, she’s extremely pleasing to the eye. The more I interact with her, the more I feel that she’s different from ordinary women. That’s probably the reason why Xu Qian married her …” Li lingsu thought to herself.
After a few rounds of Qi circulation, mu nanzhi felt warm all over and even felt lazy and sleepy. She forced herself to perk up and put the little fox on the horse’s back. Then, she took out the ‘geographical records of Dafeng’ from her luggage and flipped through it a few times. Her expression changed slightly.
She quietly swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice, “”The book said that
Xiang Zhou has two main characteristics:Water ghost and corpse driving.”
The place they were at was Xiang Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Prefecture.
When the little white fox heard this, she shrank her head in fear and stuttered like mu nanzhi,
“W-what? There are so many water ghosts …”
“You’re a demon. Are you afraid of water ghosts?” Xu Qi ‘an said angrily.
The little white fox was stunned for a moment before she whispered, “‘Il-I’m scared of ghosts.”
“There are many water systems in Xiang Prefecture,” li lingsu said. “The river network is scattered all over the place, crisscrossing. Countless people drown every year, so it’s normal for there to be a lot of water ghosts. As for corpse driving, it’s a long story.”
Seeing the two humans and one fox looking over, Li Ling explained,
“Legend has it that about 180 years ago, a strange man suddenly appeared in Xiangxi. His corpse-controlling skills were at the peak, and with 13 iron corpses, he was unrivaled in Xiang Zhou. He established his sect in Xiang Zhou.
“Up until now, many of the Jianghu forces in Xiang Zhou have some methods of controlling corpses. Among them, the most powerful was the chai family. Chai family’s main business was corpse herding, sending the dead back to their homes.
as long as the chai family takes over a corpse, it will not rot and stink.
Xu Qi ‘an held the little mare’s hand and asked, “”ls this the witchcraft cult’s method of controlling corpses or the corpse worm division’s method?” Li lingsu laughed.
“The corpse worm division’s methods. That legendary man was born in Xiang Prefecture. When he was young, his entire family was killed by his enemies. For some reason, he didn’t die and was sold to the southern border as a slave by his enemies. He learned an extraordinary skill of controlling corpses from the Gu clan.
“After he felt that his cultivation had reached a high level, he escaped from the southern border and returned to Xiang Zhou to take revenge. He even established a sect. This person is called Chai Siming, the ancestor of the chai family. However, his corpse controlling technique had a flaw, and he could only cultivate it to the fifth stage realm.
“Later on, the chai family developed martial arts, and the clansmen usually dual cultivated martial and armor. The current head of the chai family is only of the fifth rank, but there have been several fourth-rank family heads in the history of the chai family.”
“You’ve traveled to Xiang Zhou before?” Xu Qi ‘an asked in surprise.
“No, I didn’t,”
“Then how do you know about these things?”
“Because one of my female friends happens to be from the chai family.” Li lingsu smiled like a winner in life.
Buzzzzzz! I accidentally gave you a chance to act tough again … Xu Qi ‘an grumbled in his heart. He nodded and said in a calm tone,
“We will arrive in Xiang Zhou city tomorrow, just in time to visit the chai family.”
Li lingsu’s expression changed slightly, and she secretly held her waist.
The wind was getting stronger and the dark clouds were pressing down. Seeing that the rain was about to pour, the group sped up. After walking for half an hour, mu nanzhi, who was sitting on the horse’s back, pointed into the distance and said happily, ”
