Accompanied by the music, Li Banfeng danced at the Baitao Convention, taking every step very seriously.
Li Banfeng's shadow accompanied Feng Yin in the "hornet's nest", sitting on the stairs and waiting silently.
"Old man, is it almost done?" Ban Fengyin asked in a low voice. He was worried that this "hornet's nest" might run back to the royal capital at any time.
"Don't worry, it can't move. I have to let it move before it can move." I want to take some good things with me in the "hornet's nest".
In just a short time, the old man had found five Tianxin stones in the hornet's nest.
There is something more precious than the Tianxin Stone. The old man can sense it, and the gloves can also sense it. The two of them are working hard to find it.
The gloves pried off many screws from the pipe: "Old man, these nails are rare and good things."
I looked at the condition of the screws and saw that the things were indeed not bad: "Keep all the good things and don't leave anything behind. I feel like there are railroad tracks in this house."
Mittens was a bit conservative: "If we steal everything for him once, it won't be easy for him to do business next time."
Suiju said: "Don't worry, this business can't be stopped. We have regular visits, and I will also give him some good things."
"Hey hey hey~"
After a moment of silence, the gloves and the companion let out a low laugh at the same time.
After the Baitao Conference ended, Lingbaitao looked up at the sky. The hornet's nest was still there and had never left.
This hornet's nest has stayed here for a little too long.
"Every time Neizhou sends troops, Baishen County can see Xinhai once. My friend, if you want to go to Xinhai, you still have a chance."
Li Banfeng shook his head: "I just said that instead of going to Xinhai, I will go directly back to the underground city. I am a traveling cultivator and I have a unique method.
Lingbai Tao nodded and asked the islanders to use peach branches to make a raft for Li Banfeng.
To be honest, even for this raft, Li Banfeng felt that he deserved it. The resources on the island were so scarce, and these peach branches could have been left for them to build a house.
With my household items and gloves, I cleaned up all the good things in the "hornet's nest". The hornet's nest gradually moved away, and the ocean in the sky began to move slowly.
Li Banfeng still couldn't tell: "Is it the sea that is moving or the island that is moving?"
Lingbaitao replied: "They are all moving, and we can't tell who is moving more."
Today's battle went smoothly and there was plenty of time. Many young people climbed up the peach trees and fished in the new sea. When the islands returned to the caves, all five islands were fully harvested.
Lingbaitao asked Li Banfeng: "Friend, are you in a hurry to leave? There will be fish to eat tonight."
Li Banfeng said: "I'm really a little anxious, it's time for me to set off."
Lingbaitao gave Li Banfeng a bottle of white peach wine: "Will you come back?"
"Yes," Li Banfeng brought a bag of canned food and handed it to Lingbaitao, "I will bring you more food next time I come."
Lingbaitao packed a bag of peaches for Li Banfeng: "That friend from abroad always brings us delicious food. He said it's not for free.
It was exchanged for peaches. He said that he particularly liked the peaches from Baishen County. He also always said something called--"
Lingbai Tao didn't think about it for a while.
Li Banfeng took the peach and said, "That's what he should have said, make up for the loss and make it up, we don't owe each other anything."
Lingbai Tao nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Li Banfeng got on the raft and waved goodbye to the residents on the island.
When Baitao Island disappeared from sight, Li Banfeng murmured: "We can't say that we don't owe each other, but we still owe each other. I owe you too much."
Li Banfeng still had many things he wanted to ask. What he wanted to know most was why the soldiers from Bai Falcon County turned into peach trees after they died in battle.
But he couldn't speak, and the residents of White Falcon City didn't want to mention it.
Fortunately, there are others to ask, and Li Banfeng doesn't have so many worries about these Neizhou people.
Lang Daoshou, Xie Baheng and Shan Yuzhu all entered the sea, with ropes tied to their bodies to pull the boat in front.
Li Banfeng asked the Luo sisters: "Why don't you go pull the boat?"
Luo Lijun looked indifferent: "Even if we pull the boat, we can't be with them."
Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant.
Luo Yanjun quickly explained: "According to our customs, it is not suitable for us and them to do things together."
"What custom?" Li Banfeng didn't understand. Luo Yanjun kept talking in a roundabout way and didn't want to make it too clear.
But Luo Shaojun made it clear: "My sister is a marquis, we are ministers, they are scholars, and our identities are different."
Li Banfeng asked Luo Shaojun to speak more carefully.
Luo Shaojun drew a picture: "In the Great Shang Dynasty, the biggest one is the king, under the king are the princes, under the princes are the officials, and under the officials are the scholars.
Beneath the scholars, they are common people, and below the common people, they are subordinates. Officials and officials cannot do the same thing together with the scholars. This is a violation of the rules. "
Li Banfeng hated such rules. He said with a serious face: "Then break the rules once. Pick two of you five sisters.
Pull the boat with them."
Luo Shaojun stuck out her tongue and was about to pull the boat by herself. Luo Yanjun stopped her and said, "You are too young, I will go."
Yan Jun jumped into the sea, and Luo Yujun followed.
Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun and said, "You just don't want to go, right?"
Luo Lijun lowered her head and remained silent, while Luo Xiujun said from the sidelines: "She is a prince from a certain place, and she has such a big attitude, how can she be willing to do such a thing."
Not only Luo Lijun refused, but even Xie Baheng was frightened. Looking at Luo Yanjun and Luo Yujun, he didn't know how to pull the boat: "You two ladies, hurry up and get on the boat. You can't do this work."
!”
Luo Yujun snorted: "Master Li asked us to come, and we all obey Master Li."
Luo Yanjun said: "Concentrate on pulling the boat, don't talk so much."
Xie Baheng did not dare to say more, but he was very uncomfortable. His feet were unsteady when paddling, and the boat bumped along with it.
Lang Daoshou and Shan Yuzhu were also wandering unsteadily. There seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them and the Luo family.
Luo Lijun said: "Actually, this is not surprising. Just like Puozhou, isn't there a lot of nobles in Puozhou?"
The nobles of Prozhou··
Who can be regarded as a nobleman of Puzhou?
It is true that wealthy families have it, but can it be as expensive as the Luo family?
Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun: "How high is your status in the Great Shang Kingdom?"
Luo Lijun thought for a moment: "When he reaches his peak, he should be regarded as the leader of the princes."
Li Banfeng asked again: "Then why are you still a prisoner?"
Luo Lijun said: "It's not because of the plague. The epidemic spread and the whole country suffered greatly. Our Luo family was ordered to control the epidemic. As a result, the three of us sisters recovered from the disease, but the prescription was not solved.
The royal family said that we were suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so they sent us to the camp and asked us to lead the troops to attack Baishen County. They said we were leading the troops, but in fact they asked us to go into battle as guilty men and took the opportunity to die on the battlefield.
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "You are a prince and you should not be punished so severely for this matter."
Luo Lijun remained silent, while Luo Shaojun said from the sidelines: "In the final analysis, it was because we, the Luo family leader, did not take the lead in the war that others caught us.
I want to drive out our Luo family to death."
The struggle between the war faction and the peace faction has actually reached this level?
Luo Xiujun snorted and said: "Otherwise, if I follow your Luo family, you will only have to endure hardships. Why do you have to go against the royal family!"
Follow your Luo family?
What does this mean?
Li Banfeng took a closer look at Luo Xiujun. Because the fabric on his body was limited, Xiujun's figure was clearly visible.
Luo Yujun got into the water, and her figure was even more obvious.
The two of them are very good-looking and have good-looking figures, but they are covered in tendons and have more edges and corners on their bodies than on their faces. They are obviously different from the rounded three sisters.
Li Banfeng asked: "Are you from the Luo family?"
Before Luo Xiujun could speak, Luo Shaojun rushed to answer: "Yes, we are all a family, but Yujun and Xiujun and we do not have the same father, nor the same mother."
Li Banfeng seemed to have some realization: "It turns out they are cousins."
Luo Shaojun shook his head and said: "They are not cousins, we are biological sisters."
Li Banfeng looked at Shaojun and said to Luo Lijun: "This child is very smart, you have to let her study."
Luo Shaojun was not convinced: "Brother Qi, I have studied."
"Since you have studied in school, you should know that if your parents are not the same, you cannot be considered as biological sisters."
"Yes! Our bloodline does not entirely depend on our parents. I have an older brother who has the same parents as me, but he looks different from us, so his surname is no longer Luo."
Li Banfeng recalled the words of Han Xiaoxuan, a strong fan cultivator, that Neizhou's bloodline and the descendants Li Banfeng knew were two different things.
Luo Shaojun explained seriously: "When we are born, we are actually the same as slaves, we are just worms. We look no different from each other.
Before the age of fifteen, we will take elixirs at home and practice according to family traditions. After the age of fifteen, our bodies will change, and most of our brothers and sisters will grow into what we are now. This is our Luo family.
of blood,
And my brother grew up to be a leopard. Although he was born to my father and my mother, his bloodline was different from ours, so he was sent to the Bao family and changed his surname to Leopard. The Bao family is also a prince, so my brother
Didn't suffer any loss,
As for the two sisters Yujun and Xiujun, they were originally from the Yuan family and were supposed to look like giant apes, but they looked the same as our family members. Therefore, they were considered to be the blood of our Luo family, so they were adopted by our Luo family.
They have become our biological sisters."
Li Banfeng asked: "The bloodline of Neizhou is all determined by this change at the age of fifteen?"
Luo Shaojun nodded.
Luo Xiujun said: "When we sisters were in the Yuan family, our father was a senior official, but we were not the direct eldest sons. From now on we can only be regarded as scholars.
The Luo family is a prince, and after we entered the Luo family, we became princes, and being granted the title of minister, our status was indeed elevated to a higher level."
Luo Lijun snorted and said, "What you say is quite conscientious."
Li Banfeng said: "If a slave turned into a snail at the age of fifteen, would he also become a member of your Luo family?"
Luo Shaojun thought for a while: "It stands to reason, but it is unlikely that they will change when they reach the age of fifteen because they have nothing and cannot take any pills, so they will look like worms all their lives."
Li Banfeng asked again: "Where are the common people?"
"Common people may be able to take a pill in a year and a half if they live frugally, but it is really difficult to become like us. There are examples of common people becoming scholars.
With a scholar's family background, he could only take pills once a month, which was very different from common people. However, if a common person's body is rich, even if he takes a small amount of pills, he might become a scholar.
Doctor Qing's family takes pills every three to five days, which is not very different from the scholars, but there are indeed children from scholar's families who entered Doctor Qing's family after the age of fifteen."
After he said this, Li Banfeng finally understood that in the Shang Kingdom, taking elixirs was the key to determining bloodline.
Nobles take more elixirs, while commoners take less elixirs. After the age of fifteen, there is a high probability that the heirs of nobles will become nobles. Some people will become commoners due to poor physical talent. In the same way, there are also commoners.
The child became a nobleman because of his excellent physique.
Of course, there are also civilians who end up becoming slaves due to poor health. This kind of thing is not uncommon. According to Luo Shaojun,
If a commoner family has five children, three of them will usually become slaves.
Li Banfeng asked again: "Besides pills, are there any other ways to change your life? For example, practice and exercise?"
Luo Shaojun said: "Yes, yes, the royal family will find a few people every year to talk about things, saying that they are from such and such a slave. Because they practiced hard and devoted themselves, they finally became scholars.
But my sister said that it was all lies. Those slaves got a chance to change their lives because they felt comfortable serving their masters and got a few more pills. You can't believe a word of what the royal family says..."
Snap!
Luo Lijun slapped Luo Shaojun into the water.
"Little sister, go pull the boat and get your sister back."
Luo Shaojun opened his mouth and pulled the boat, and Luo Yanjun returned to the boat.
Luo Xiujun whispered: "Actually, Shaojun is right. The two centipedes you met in the camp were slaves who became common people, then became scholars, and finally became servants.
Ge actually asked them to come out and lead the troops to fight."
"Who is the diviner?"
Luo Xiujun said: "They are the people in charge of sacrifices. Their status is between the princes and the high officials. Do you think they are powerful?"
Li Banfeng shook his head: "They have nothing to do with being powerful."
Luo Xiujun said: "They shouldn't have been allowed to lead the army in the first place. These two fools don't know anything."
"Then why did you let them attack Baiji County? Didn't Baiji County give you many defeats?"
Luo Xiujun whispered: "That's because there are restrictions. Some powerful generals can't get through, and our weapons can't be transported."
Li Banfeng asked: "Who restricted it?"
Luo Lijun glared at Luo Xiujun, and Luo Xiujun did not dare to say anything more.
Even if he still refuses to tell the truth, Li Banfeng is not in a hurry. He has plenty of ways to get the sisters to speak. He carefully analyzed the class hierarchy of the Great Shang Kingdom. Some important classes gradually established contact with Puozhou: "Your
The king is a saint?"
Luo Lijun and Luo Yanjun didn't say anything. Seeing this, Luo Xiujun took the initiative to speak: "That's what I said, but the saint's words in Chaoge don't work, what works is the cabinet."
Li Banfeng heard another new term: "What is a cabinet?"
Luo Xiujun thought about how to describe it: "The cabinet is of royal blood and the people who really control the court."
Li Banfeng had some idea of ​​the term "royal bloodline": "The royal family you are talking about is a person with three heads?"
Luo Xiujun nodded.
Li Banfeng carefully looked at the picture drawn by Luo Shaojun: "The eldest son of the royal family will become the king, and the other descendants will be ordinary royal families. The eldest son of the royal family will still be the royal family, and the other descendants will become princes.
By analogy, the number of nobles at all levels will only increase. Can the Great Shang Kingdom support so many nobles?"
Luo Xiujun said: "It is said that a long time ago, there were indeed many nobles, but at that time the territory of the great merchants was very large and the products were rich. It was not a problem to feed these nobles.
But later on, the power of Hijikata Kingdom increased greatly, and we lost several battles, and a lot of territory was taken away, so we could no longer support so many nobles, so the number of nobles was not that many, and now we have just lost one——
———”
Before she finished speaking, Luo Xiujun was kicked by Luo Lijun. She said that a noble was missing just now, and it was the Luo family. This kind of thing was very common in the inner state.
"What kind of country is Hijikata Country?"
"Their king is called the Demon Lord, and their capital is in Silver Bear City."
Demon Lord.
This concept is not unfamiliar to Li Banfeng. The owner of Baimofang is the Demon Lord.
"How much do you know about Baiji County? Do you know why their people turned into peach trees after they were killed in battle?"
Luo Lijun kicked Luo Xiujun again, signaling her not to say any more.
But Luo Xiujun ignored it. In this situation, if you please Li Qi more, you will definitely not suffer a loss: "This is because the people from the White Falcon Alliance helped them."
White Falcon Alliance?
Li Banfeng thought of the Baiji Alliance mentioned by Professor Balloon.
"The White Falcon Alliance you are talking about is the kingdom of Neizhou?"
Luo Xiujun nodded first, then shook his head: "Their royal capital is in Qixing Mountain, so it can't be called a royal capital. They are not a kingdom at all.
They do not have a king, they are an alliance of a group of small countries. At first, Dashang and Hijikata did not take them seriously, but later the White Falcon Alliance became bigger and bigger, and Dashang and Hijikata could not stand up to the Baiji Alliance.
less loss,
The Baifalcon League has given Baifalcon County a lot of help. We once put medicine on the land of Baifalcon County. The land of Baifalcon County could not grow any crops. In this way, Baifalcon County could have died naturally.
But the White Falcon Alliance used a special method to send elixirs to Bai Falcon County, so that people in Bai Falcon County could turn into peach trees after death, allowing Bai Falcon County to survive again."
"Why should the White Falcon Alliance help Baiji County?"
Luo Xiujun thought for a while: "I heard that it's because the White Falcon League and Baiji County have the same bloodline. Both of their names have White Falcon. There are many characters in the White Falcon League who have transformed into birds, and the same is true for Baiji County——
"
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Luo Lijun finally couldn't help it anymore, "It's just a coincidence that the White Falcon League and White Falcon County have the same name. They are not of the same blood at all!"
Luo Xiujun was very unconvinced: "Then tell me, why does the White Falcon Alliance want to help White Falcon County?"
Luo Lijun saw this matter more clearly: "Business and bustling, good things come and go, and they also like the boundaries of other states, but they have been unable to open a road, and they don't want us to succeed, so they help Baishen County to give it to us
Looking for trouble,
This is what they do in the Amican country. Last year, they helped the Amican people defeat the demon lord, and now the road leading to Amican is almost occupied by them."
The road leading to Amikan should refer to another wormhole, or a branch of the wormhole, which is the country of Neamikan that Ling Miaosheng just visited.
"So, the White Falcon Alliance has also mastered the method of using roads?"
Luo Lijun sighed and said: "Where do you think all the restrictions on the road come from? Isn't it all the fault of the White Falcon Alliance? Because of them, we have never been able to attack the White Falcon County with all our strength. Otherwise, if we bring our weapons
Come on, Baiji County can't even survive for a moment.
But having said that, I really don’t want to fight. We really want to fight for a way out of the state, but it’s not easy to deal with the outside state. The Bai Falcon Alliance is causing trouble behind us, and Puozhou is in the middle. If this road is paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood,
, what’s the use of fighting?”
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That's good to say. Do you, the Luo family, still want to take back the power in Neizhou?"
"How to seize it?" Luo Lijun smiled bitterly, "If a prince falls, dozens of ministers and officials will fall behind him, and countless scholars will fall. The Luo family's property will soon be divided up.
"
Luo Xiujun said: "The key is this is the will of the royal family. In Dashang, who can be bigger than the royal family?"
Li Banfeng said: "Then you will establish another royal family."
Luo Lijun said blankly: "Where can I find the royal family?"
Li Banfeng raised the brim of his hat and looked at Luo Lijun. The chips were out and it was time to do business.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Train?"
The five snail sisters looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
Li Banfeng smiled slightly and said: "The road is still long, let's talk slowly."
Based on his memory, Li Banfeng pulled the raft and arrived near the border.
The five Luo sisters and Lang Daoshou all fell asleep on the raft, sleeping very soundly.
Music boxes lingered on the raft, making sure everyone was asleep.
Li Banfeng picked up the simple phone and called his wife: "My dear wife, I————."
"You heartless madman, what are you doing back here? Go wander outside!" The lady hung up the phone.
Luo Zhengnan sighed: "Madam, you are angry.
The call was interrupted, and Luo Zhengnan wanted to sleep. After a while, his wife called back: "Crazy man, where are you?"
"Almost at the door!"
Zhao Xiaowan hung up the phone and came to the bow of the ship, where she vaguely saw Li Banfeng's figure floating in mid-air across the boundary line.
"Hurry up and bring the concealed bridge cannon!" The record player waved his hand, and Ban Feng C and Ban Feng Ding rushed forward. Ban Feng B looked on.
Didn't reach out.
After adjusting the parameters and firing a shot, Li Banfeng summoned a group of shadows, carried the raft, crossed the hidden bridge, and returned to the ship.
Seeing a group of shadows, Li Banfeng said with surprise: "You are still here."
Ban Fengyi snorted and said, "If I'm not here, where can I be? I can't live my life without you, right?"
Zhao Xiaowan grabbed Li Banfeng, first beating her, and then feeling distressed: "Where have you been these days? I scared you, do you know?"
Li Banfeng hugged Zhao Xiaowan from behind: "My dear lady, this is a long story. Let's talk about it in detail with my lady after we love each other for a while!"
The two played around for a while, and they both got excited. Li Banfeng took out the oil can, and Zhao Xiaowan lowered her face and said, "What are you doing with that?"
Li Banfeng quickly put away the oil pot, hugged Zhao Xiaowan, and entered the guest room.
In the blink of an eye, Li Banfeng was fully dressed and said with a smile: "Madam, have fun!"
Zhao Xiaowan was wearing clothes and said with a dull expression: "Mr., it would be better to put engine oil on.
Li Banfeng copied it with both hands, squatted on the ground and said, "Madam, there are advantages to shortcomings. Listen to me and explain the truth——"
"Stop talking nonsense," the wife put on her clothes and came to the deck, "What should we do with these Neizhou people?"
Although the five sisters of the Luo family had transformed into others, the lady could see through it at a glance.
Li Banfeng said: "I plan to take them to Neizhou and let them lead the way to find an old friend."
Li Banfeng gave a general account of what he had seen in Bai Falcon County, and his wife also guessed the identity of his old friend: "My husband wants to save the crazy craftsman, is he planning to enter Neizhou from Bai Falcon County?"
"I'm afraid Baishen County will be a little more difficult. Neizhou frequently sends troops there, so it must be heavily guarded." Li Banfeng had already made a plan. "We have another road, which should not be blocked yet."
He Jiaqing passed through a thorn bush and trekked in the new land for several hours before finding a factory building.
There is a factory in the new land. This kind of thing is very new. He Jiaqing escaped the patrolling monsters and entered the factory. He saw a gray-haired old man polishing accessories.
"Senior Shi, He is so polite." He Jiaqing bowed deeply.
The masonry star raised his head, put down his tools, and wiped the grease on his hands: "Master He, what are you doing?"
He Jiaqing looked at the environment of the factory. Compared with other factories in Puluozhou, the equipment here is obviously much cruder. This is a new place, and the factory's products will most likely not be sold. Building this factory is probably a masonry star for himself.
Find some comfort.
"Senior Shi has many accomplishments, but he shouldn't be buried in a place like this."
The masonry star shook his head slightly: "At my age, it is rare to be able to earn some peace and quiet. There is no need to hide it. Mr. He, just tell me what you have to say."
He Jiaqing said: "The deed of the new land is not neat and tidy. He plans to help senior get the other half of the deed, and then help senior turn the new land into a legitimate land. I wonder what senior wants?"
The masonry star was stunned for a moment: "No reward for no merit, Mr. He, how can this old man bear such a great kindness?"
He Jiaqing took out a deed: "It's not about kindness. I just want to do something big with my senior."
Chapter completed!
