Chapter 376 Return(1/2)
Author: Only Xiaoyao
Li Guan took five tasks related to the Demon Sect from the tasks given by Yang Kai. These were to attack the cities controlled by the Demon Sect, but most of them were in a stalemate.
Someone is needed to come and support.
While drinking tea, Li Guan looked at the mission brief that was brought over. After writing it all down, he stood up and said with a smile: "I'm leaving first."
"Congratulations to Daozi."
"No need to be polite."
After Li Guan left the Contribution Hall, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he came to Wancao Hall and spent a full 10,000 contributions to buy a large amount of medicinal materials.
He had to go through the training anyway, just in time to improve his alchemy level. Refining the elixir of insight was not a problem for him, but the elixir of death was a bit difficult. Buying the elixir of the death realm was too troublesome.
Li Guan planned to refine it himself and produce and sell it himself.
I also bought a lot of daily necessities and put them in the castle space. When I was almost ready, I came to Qiu Long Peak where Qiu Qiu lived, but found that Qiu Qiu had gone somewhere.
"never mind."
Li Guan immediately turned into a stream of light and flew towards Jinling Mansion. After all, he was going on a far journey, so it would be best to talk to Cai Yan.
…
"Is this Jinling Mansion?"
Li Guan looked at Jinling Mansion from the air, which had not been here for more than half a year. Jinling Mansion was originally like a wild beast entrenched on the plain.
Now that I haven't seen it for a while, it is even more outrageous. The area it is located in is at least one-third larger, and there were originally only four urban areas.
Now there are two more urban areas, and the original square layout has been changed to a rectangular layout.
The outer city wall was at least nearly thirty meters high. A handful of crossbows were placed on the wall. Li took a look and realized that if the crossbows were shot at the god level, they would be pierced directly.
Jinling Mansion has changed a lot.
And compared to before, there are still streams of light flying from a distance, but they do not fly directly into the city, but fall to the ground and enter through the city gate.
In other words, more and more warriors at the level of insight are coming to Jinling Mansion.
No wonder even the elders seem a bit inadequate.
There are Dongming warriors active in Jinling Mansion. If the sect wants to suppress Jinling Mansion and allow it to proceed in an orderly manner, it will definitely need two elders to sit here.
Li Guan also fell to the ground and lined up. Not long after, he arrived at Li Guan. The people on guard at the door were all disciples of the Tao of Immortality.
One of the fatter disciples, who was still an old man, said: "It costs ten coins to enter the city, but you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, the person next to him slapped him on the head and said respectfully: "I have seen Daozi."
The word "Daozi" made Qin Hao, who was beaten, ignore the pain and quickly bowed his hands and said, "I have seen Daozi."
Only then did he raise his eyes to look at Li Guan's face. The face he had seen at the Yuanshi disciple canonization ceremony now appeared in front of him.
"You two junior brothers don't need to be polite."
Li Guandu took out ten copper coins from his arms and put them into a box on the side. He took them out from the castle space. There was a place in the castle space where his money was piled into a hill.
After all, he has destroyed so many sects, and his current resources are all provided by the sects' contributions, so he has no place to spend the money he has.
"Brother, this..."
Qin Hao saw Li Guan put ten coins into the box and wanted to say something. Li Guan waved his hand and said, "I'll go in first and do my best."
After that, he walked into the mansion.
Qin Hao and Wang Zitao looked at Li Guan's back and looked at each other, "Daozi told me to do it well."
Qin Hao said with some excitement that in his opinion Daozi was a big shot, and he didn't expect to see a person like Daozi when he was on duty today.
Wang Zitao was a little silent. He thought that his brother who stayed in the clan was like a pitiful creature. He was afraid of this and that every day and did not dare to return to the clan.
Sure enough, you should not be too arrogant as a person, sometimes you don’t know what kind of people you will offend.
…
Walking on the streets, the streets have been expanded a lot, and the ground is made of smooth bluestone bricks, with drainage ditches on both sides.
Li Guan once told the Jinling Merchant Alliance, an alliance composed of many families in Jinling Mansion, some of the layout concepts he knew.
They are now responsible for the business of Jinling Mansion. After all, Changsheng Road is responsible for the entire Taizhou. They only need to grasp the general direction of many cities.
It turned out pretty well.
Li Guan came to Li Mansion according to his memory. When he came to Li Mansion, he was a little stunned. Is this his home?
The place where Li's Mansion is located is much larger, and the key is why there is such a long queue in front of his house. Li Guan glanced at it and found that almost all of these people were holding gifts in their hands.
Could it be that you are here to give a gift?
But the idea of coming back was all spur of the moment. What kind of gifts did they come to give?
When Li Guan was about to cross the line and walk in the door of his house, a big man at the end of the line quickly greeted him: "Hey, hey, wait in line."
Li Guan stopped and asked what was going on. There were so many people lining up here.
"Brother, I'm not here to give you a gift. I'm a relative of the hostess of the Li Mansion and I'm here to visit.
Tell me what you are doing here."
"Huh? It turns out that he is a relative of a noble person. I am a little offended, little Zhang Lu."
When Zhang Lu heard this, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted. When he heard Li Guan's question, he quickly said: "This is Li Mansion. Nowadays, it is a hot power in Jinling Mansion. I heard that the head of Li Mansion has become some kind of Taoist priest.
.
Then you don’t know that some time ago, I heard that the threshold of Li Mansion has been changed several times.
Now we are all at the wrong peak."
"Are you planning to ask someone for help?"
Li Guan frowned. It couldn't be that the people in the mansion were using his reputation to do anything. Cai Yan was also a sensible person, so he shouldn't be like this.
Or is it that there are people who deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates and do these things specifically?
Zhang Lu quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, last time I heard that someone brought thousands of taels of silver to Li's house, and was immediately kicked out.
We are just sending a gift, and by the way, we want to know when the Li Mansion will be able to find servants or guards again, so we can find out in advance."
No need to do anything to receive gifts?
Li Guan has finally seen what it means to be enlightened by one person and bring blessings to others.
He really didn't take Daozi's identity seriously, but Daozi was a big shot in Changsheng Dao, let alone Taizhou Daomen and Jinling Mansion.
Almost all the people who had offended Li Guan in the Ruan family regretted it now. If he had said a few nice words, he could have gained some connections.
Li Guan shook his head and walked directly past the team to the door. There were two guards guarding the door, and they were let in one by one.
Li Guan didn't know him, maybe he was a new guard.
When the two guards saw Li Guan, they were shocked. The master of the house was back. They quickly raised their hands and shouted: "The master of the house!"
Of course, it was just that Li Guan didn't know them. When these guards were recruited, the first requirement was to memorize the portraits of the master and mistress of the mansion.
This portrait was painted by Cai Yan himself, and it is a very realistic painting.
After all, Li Guan doesn't come back often, and the guards change frequently due to various things. It's not like Li Guan has to get to know each new batch of guards.
It doesn't matter what their voices are.
There was already a long queue here, and the people at the front were still wondering who the person who wanted to get in was.
Hearing the respectful expressions and words of the two guards, there was a commotion immediately. People in the queue walked out of the queue and looked at Li Guan.
Is this the legendary Tao of Immortality? It’s really majestic and handsome.
But everyone only dared to observe and did not dare to speak out or get close.
Who knows what the tempers of these big shots are like, but they dare to talk to the housekeeper of Li Mansion and give him gifts.
But when Li Guan appeared in front of them, they were speechless.
"Yes, let these people go back first."
Li Guan motioned to the guards to disperse the people queuing up. What was going on?
The Li family doesn't want to make money by accepting gifts.
After the guards heard this, they hurriedly started to drive away those people who were holding gifts. Li Guan suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "There is no need to send gifts in the future. Any servants, guards, handymen, etc. that the Li Mansion will recruit will do the same in the future."
Post a sign outside.”
After finishing speaking, Li Guan walked into the mansion.
Not long after, two hurried footsteps were heard, and the figures of Jiang Chuan and Cai Yan appeared in Li Guan's sight.
Jiang Chuan and Cai Yan also heard the guard's call, quickly put down what they were doing, and ran over.
"Husband."
After Li Guan came back from Tianwaitian, Cai Yan stayed with Li Guanwen for a few days and then came back. The business here still needs to be taken care of.
To be continued...
