Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 164: Rivers and Lakes
Li Daye passed the trial mission, which made him greatly relieved, but when he saw Xue Dingpeng staring at him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Ling Xin'an naturally encouraged him to switch to Aifeng, and he had too many
Got a junior brother.
They returned to their respective peaks. As soon as Ling Xin'an arrived at Aifeng, he felt a different aura. The energy was very weak, and there were two more auras in the lobby.
Ling Xin'an walked in quickly, and what came into view was a face that was not familiar but had been seen before. Compared with the white-clothed Pianpian hanging on the wall, who looked like a fairy dust face, it was more dark and wrinkled.
His skin looks more like a middle-aged farmer walking outside.
Next to him, stood Song Qinghe and a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a wooden root tied under one knee and a criss-cross scar on his face from his right eye to his cheek. Three pairs of eyes were looking at him intently.
Peace of mind.
"Disciple Ling Zhian, kowtow to Master!" Ling Xin'an quickly walked up to the middle-aged man, knelt down, and kowtowed nine times respectfully.
The middle-aged man is Ren Xiaoyou, the master of Ling Xin'an, the peak leader of Ai Feng.
"Get up and let me have a look!" A gentle and mellow voice sounded.
"Thank you, Master!" Ling Xin'an stood up and stood respectfully. Ren Xiaoyou looked at Ling Xin'an with bright eyes. He studied it for a long time and said, "Have you almost perfected the Xianqing formula?"
Ling Xin'an nodded and said: "Yes, Master!"
"Very good!" Ren Xiaoyou nodded: "Xiaoying, meet your senior brother!"
The young man slowly bent down and said respectfully: "Greetings to Senior Brother Ling!"
Ling Xin'an looked at him with a smile: "Junior brother, hello! What do you call me?"
"Xia Chuanying!" the young man said slowly.
"I found your junior brother when I was traveling abroad last year. Your master uncle mentioned to me that you became a disciple. Qinghe also wrote about you in a letter and inquired about you. Now that I am a master, I don't have much to offer as a meeting gift!" Ren Xiao
Tour.
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Master, if you don't drive the disciple away, it is the best gift. Come on, junior brother, I have some small gifts here, you can take them."
After saying that, he took out a small bag of broken spiritual stones from his pocket.
Xia Chuanying quickly took over and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
"Junior brother Xia, you have the same surname as my Xiaoyu!" Ling Xin'an said with a smile.
Surprise flashed across Xia Chuanying's face, and it disappeared in a flash, and he said calmly: "I'll see you, senior sister, in a while!"
Ling Xin'an smiled, turned to Ren Xiaoyou and said, "Disciple has participated in the master's trial these days and failed to greet the master. Please forgive me!"
Ren Xiaoyou said: "There are few people in Difeng, so we don't need so many courtesy. Let's talk about the trials in the past few days!"
"Yes, Master!"
So, Ling Xin'an briefly talked about what happened in the past few days. Of course, she pretended that she didn't know the little tricks of the Xianqing Sect. She only said that the three of them were unlucky and had to go over a hundred miles to meet the murderer.
Beast, what happened at the back mountain gate is only briefly mentioned.
Because Ren Xiaoyou had returned to the Xianqing Sect in advance, in the next few days, as the peak master, Ren Xiaoyou naturally took on the task of teaching Ling Xin'an the various formulas of the Xianqing Sect. Ling Xin'an also humbly asked for advice, and even talked to
Song Qinghe practiced ancient yoga in front of them without any cover-up.
Ren Xiaoyou was also very interested and pointed out that this set of ancient yoga has a natural charm of Taoism and perfectly integrates the human body with the world.
Under his guidance, he pointed out several unreasonable things.

The movements made the two people very different.
Now Xia Chuanying does the cleaning every day, while Ling Xin'an chops firewood and cooks. For Ai Feng, who only has four people, two disabled and one elderly, Ling Xin'an still has to do the cooking.
Until the end of the trial, Ling Xin'an was about to go back. Thinking about it, it had been almost a month since she left Jiangzhou City. When Xia Xiaoyu appeared in Aifeng, Ren Xiaoyou saw her and looked thoughtful, but he didn't see Xia Chuan.
Ying. Before leaving, Ling Xin'an once again asked Song Qinghe to take more care of Li Daye. If possible, try to bring such a person to Ai Feng. At this time, he also mentioned it to Ren Xiaoyou. After hearing about this person,
Nod your head to show that you remember it.
Needless to say, this time Ling Xin'an asked Wen Huairen to arrange for a giant falcon to send the two of them back.
There is no way, who makes Ling Xinan? In some respects, he is the biggest money-making manager of Xianqing Sect, just the giant falcon, arranges it.
After bidding farewell to Xianqingmen, it took two days to land in Ling Mansion. Looking at the two figures coming down, he immediately cheered.
Ling Xin'an immediately went to the Jiangzhou Prefecture. Everyone was surprised and happy when they saw Mr. Ling coming suddenly, and a meeting followed.
During the period when Ling Xin'an left, no special matters occurred in Jiangzhou Mansion. The same was true for the five state government offices. Duan Qing would go on inspections from time to time. Sometimes he would go with people from Ling Mansion to check on projects in various places.
So far so good.
Ling Xin'an worked directly in the government office in the afternoon. There were many things that needed to be decided and approved by herself. Ling Xin'an reviewed them one by one and did not return to Ling's Mansion until nightfall.
In the Ling Mansion, the Ling Shuang sisters had been waiting for a long time. They were overjoyed to see Ling Xin'an come back. Everyone reported on their work while eating. Now the infrastructure work in the five states basically has the shadow of Ling Xin'an in the Ling Mansion, so these things have to be paid special attention to.
Notice.
This is like a company. The bigger the company is, the more management it needs. The lack of management will naturally make the people above busy. How could Ling Xin'an not understand this? But there is no way, because there are many things that Ling Xin'an is not comfortable with.
For others to participate, it can only be done by outsourcing to outside merchants. This is one of the reasons why it can be done so far.
"Sir, I see that there are a lot more people in the world these days!" Zhong Wuyan said.
"People from the world?" Ling Xin'an frowned: "Have you found out why so many people are here?"
"No, it's because many people from the Jianghu community have sent their families here, which has caused the housing prices in our Jiangzhou City to rise during this period!"
"What gangs are there?"
"Mainly some small sects, but also some more outgoing sects. They come here to settle down. They think Jiangzhou City is livable, so they come here!"
"Is there anything special about that?"
"So far, no sects that are unfavorable to our Ling Mansion have been found, and there are even some sects that have contacted Elder Lu and others!"
Ling Xin'an thought for a while and said: "As long as these people from the sect don't come to us, we will turn a blind eye."
Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. The next day, when Ling Xin'an was sitting in the prefect's office, the patrol officer below said that someone wanted to see him.
This was an imposing man with a sharp sword in his hand. He had a slender figure, a steady gaze, and walked in with strong steps. He said from a distance: "Ouyang Qiu, the master of Linglong Pavilion, is here to see Lord Ling. Please forgive me for coming here."
!”
Ling Xin'an looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm a guest from afar. Master Ouyang Pavilion, please take a seat."
After Ouyang Qiu sat down, Ling Xin'an said: "Ling
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If I remember correctly, this should be our first meeting. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help, but Pavilion Master Ouyang said it’s okay.”
Ouyang Qiu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for meeting me despite your busy schedule. Ou doesn't want to say much. I just want to talk about cooperation with you!"
"Master Ouyang Pavilion, you and I are both in power and in power, and we don't interfere with each other. I wonder what you want to cooperate with?"
"To tell you the truth, sir, the force Ou belongs to is a sect. As for what sect it is, I apologize for not being able to reveal it. The reason I came here today is to talk to you about how to open Linglong Pavilion in Jiangzhou City." Ouyang
Akimichi.
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "To open a shop, Pavilion Master Ouyang can go to our Ministry of Civil Affairs to register. As long as it is operated legally, I have no reason to interfere."
"Master Ling, we are talking about opening a martial arts auction in Jiangzhou City, such as weapons, elixirs, issuing Jianghu laws, and even reward orders." Ouyang Qiu said calmly.
Ling Xin'an's eyes flashed brightly, she looked at Ouyang Qiu, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Pavilion Master Ouyang is very confident in the strength of your faction."
Ouyang Qiu said: "As long as you agree, you can naturally feel the strength of this pavilion."
"What if I don't agree?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Ou will still register a shop. As your Excellency said, we are operating legally and doing legal business."
Ling Xin'an frowned and said coldly: "If that's the case, then why did you come to see me personally? I am an official of the imperial court. You don't know anything about the world. Does Pavilion Master Ouyang owe me an explanation?"
"My lord is truly worthy of being an lord. I can think of it with a little laxative. Yes, the reason why I want to cooperate with you is that I hope you can provide me with cheap power. After all, Jianghu matters are left to Jianghu to resolve. Without your permission, it will make Da Zhou feel that we are under the influence of others."
Provocation, what we have done is to let the martial arts world know that what happened in Jiangzhou City is a matter between Jianghu and Jianghu, not a matter of the cooperation between the imperial court and Jianghu."
Ling Xin'an suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is what Pavilion Master Ouyang wants. It seems that Linglong Pavilion has a very big plan. If I agree, what benefits will I get? What benefits does Dazhou have?"
"One of the benefits is naturally taxation, which belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, no less. The second benefit is for everyone in the Ling Mansion. We at Linglong Pavilion will not accept any reward from any force or individual. No matter what it is, we will not accept it.
Even if we don't cooperate in the future, we won't announce the pursuit of you. The third advantage is that Linglong Pavilion is the best pavilion in the world of martial arts. Among them..., sir, you understand!" Ouyang Qiu said slowly.
Ling Xin'an was startled, looking at Ouyang Qiu, she really didn't expect that the other party would offer such conditions.
Linglong Pavilion, the martial arts sect known as the No. 1 Pavilion in the mainland, is known to everyone for its power and mystery. Many people think that behind Linglong Pavilion is the Xuantian Sect, but it has never been confirmed. Linglong Pavilion is the leader of the world.
A chamber of commerce that sells weapons, elixirs, martial arts, training methods, etc. A pavilion like this can only be found in big cities like Zhongzhou and Jinling. Unexpectedly, today I came to Jiangzhou City to proactively seek cooperation.
"As for the Emperor of Zhou, we have never fallen out with them, and we do not need to seek the Holy Emperor's consent." Ouyang Qiu added.
Ling Xin'an looked at him and said with a smile: "In that case, have you got the Ouyang Pavilion Master's contract? Just sign it!"
Ouyang Qiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "As expected of Lord Ling, it's so refreshing!"
