"Oh, it's nothing inconvenient to ask. I went to Nanhai, the southernmost city of the Touli Kingdom, to see what business there is."
"Ah! So far!"
Gongsun Zhi was even more surprised. He pondered for a moment and then asked doubtfully:
"Brother Yan, when you come back from the south, you must pass through the Qingyue Mountains. Didn't you find that there is a war there? It is rumored here that the army of the Ai Lou Kingdom has reached the foot of the Qingyue Mountains. Once their army crosses
The Qingyue Mountains will also be lost here, and it's unclear whether we can continue to do business by then. I'm worried about this."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan secretly thought that Gongsun Zhi was smart. At the same time, he also remembered the old saying: "It takes countless lies to tell a lie." He had to say:
"Oh, Brother Zhi, I came by sea. There are direct ships from the South China Sea to Linhai."
What Gongsun Yan said is true. There is indeed a direct ship from the South China Sea to the seaside of Huachen Kingdom, but the journey takes a long time.
"Brother Yan, is there any fun place in the South China Sea? Tell us about it." Gongsun Zhi asked.
At this time, Gongsun Yan took the opportunity to push the gift box in front of him and said:
"Oh, that is a typical exotic tropical city in the South. I will tell you brothers in detail when I have the opportunity in the future. I also brought some specialties from the South China Sea to Brother Zhi. Please accept it and thank Brother Zhi for the past few years.
Take care of my mother."
Gongsun Yan then said apologetically to Gongsun Qi and Gongsun Min:
"Brother Qi, I thought you were due to return to your ancestral home, and I didn't expect Brother Min to come, so I didn't prepare any gifts for you two. However, I also bought a lot of novelties in Nanhai. These are some small gifts.
It’s a toy, please accept it with your two clan brothers’ approval.”
As he spoke, he made a show of "taking out" two pieces of tortoiseshell back armor from his arms, and handed them to the two of them. The two of them took them in their hands, looked at them carefully, and immediately exclaimed:
"Tortoiseshell! This is an extremely precious thing that can only be found in the deep sea." The two of them were worthy of being from a medical family, and they recognized the tortoiseshell back armor almost at the same time.
Among the people of Jishui Kingdom, it has been rumored that wearing tortoise shell products has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and curing diseases. It is even said that when the human body is ill, the severity of the physical condition can be judged by the color change of wearing tortoise shell jewelry.
At the same time, tortoiseshell itself is also a rare medicinal material.
Gongsun Zhi noticed that Gongsun Yan mentioned "what business is there to do?" and he asked tentatively:
"Brother Yan, have you found any good business there? If possible, I would also like to bring Brother Wei along with me. The Ailou Kingdom will invade here soon, and it will be difficult to do medicinal materials business."
"How dare they! I'm worried that I won't have the chance to cause trouble to them!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was in a very unhappy mood. He had never had a good impression of the people of the Ailou country. There were bookstores opened by the Ailou people in the distance and the "Tongyun Pharmacy" incident recently, which made Gongsun Yan feel that the people of the Ailou country were unkind and very unkind.
It's abominable.
"Ah! Brother Yan, you..."
After hearing Gongsun Yan's words, the three of them were shocked and thought about it carefully. Gongsun Zhi said in surprise.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the three of them, Gongsun Yan realized that he had just come back and had not yet adapted to the environment here, so he accidentally spilled the beans.
With his current cultivation level, plus Xing Kui and Yi Rui, it would be easy to destroy the Dwarf Kingdom. But how could such a thing be "showed off" in front of mortals? He quickly changed the subject and said:
"Brother Zhi, I went to Nanhai this time and met and fell in love with a young lady. Her parents even held an engagement ceremony for us. When I came back this time, she also came home with me. My mother decided to give us a gift on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
We are holding a wedding, and I came here to inform Brother Zhi that all clan brothers are invited to bring their family members and be present together so that we can all have a small gathering."
"What? Why did you just say such a big thing! I will notify the family immediately!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gongsun Yan to reply, Gongsun Zhi immediately rushed out of the living room and hurried to find the mayor Zhou Jingwu.
After the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the "Guanzhong Gang" in Lishui Town directly became an outer disciple of the Qingyue Sect. Zhou Jingwu also became an outer disciple, responsible for the military and political affairs here. If he wanted to quickly spread the news to the families in the Northern Dynasties,
, you must go through the Qingyue Sect.
Seeing Gongsun Zhi leaving, Gongsun Yan felt a little embarrassed for a while. He could neither leave nor stay, so he could only wait for Gongsun Zhi to come back.
Gongsun Min was overwhelmed with shock.
Gongsun Yan actually wanted to inform the clan leader about his marriage. This was obviously not Gongsun Zhi's personal behavior. There must be some unknown secret in it. He didn't want to underestimate Gongsun Yan anymore. He immediately ran out of words and had an affair with Gongsun Yan.
We started chatting without any hesitation.
About a quarter of an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and Gongsun Zhi appeared immediately. There were two people behind him, the current mayor Zhou Jingwu and the deputy mayor Zheng Daming. When they saw Gongsun Yan, Zhou Jingwu immediately clasped his fists in salute.
road:
"Mr. Yan, are you back? The official has given you a gift."
Zheng Daming also hurriedly came over to greet Gongsun Yan. Seeing the two mayors arriving in person, Gongsun Qi and Gongsun Min hurriedly left.
After the remaining four people took their seats again, Gongsun Zhi asked the maid to serve tea again, and explained to Gongsun Yan that messages to the family must now go through the Qingyue Sect.
Several people immediately started chatting. Zhou Jingwu and Zheng Daming first congratulated Gongsun Yan on his upcoming wedding and claimed that they would definitely come to the scene to congratulate him. Then several people chatted about the changes in Ginshui Town in recent years. Unknowingly,
We also talked about the situation on the battlefield.
Only then did Gongsun Yan know that the war was about to begin, and the Ai Lou Kingdom had already pressed heavily on the territory. Thinking of the scene when he came back and passed over the Qingyue Mountains, Gongsun Yan knew that the Southern Dynasty was indeed facing another war, but this time it was not only a war between countries.
, it seems that Qingyue Sect is also involved.
Thinking of Qingyue Sect, Gongsun Yan immediately thought of Qinghan, and then thought of Qing Wuyan, the leader of Qingyue Sect. Gongsun Yan then asked:
"Mayor Zhou, who is in charge of the Southern Dynasty now? Is it Master Qing Wuyan or Yongze?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jingwu was shocked. He could tell that Gongsun Yan's tone showed a little respect for the Qingyue Sect. Could it be that Young Master Yan knew the sect master? He replied calmly:
"Obviously, he is still the leader of the Yongze Kingdom, but now everyone knows that our Qingyue Sect is powerful. Since Mr. Yan is familiar with the sect leader, he should know that our sect leader is not very willing to force himself to the front."
"Oh, I'm not very familiar with them, it's just a casual relationship. Both of them are talented and strategic people. If they are still scheming now and cannot treat each other sincerely and join forces to resist the enemy, the Southern Dynasty will be in danger!"
Gongsun Yan said.
Hearing this, Zhou Jingwu and Zheng Daming were both shocked. They were both veterans of the martial arts world. Naturally, they could tell from Gongsun Yan's words that he knew the sect master and the king, and he also had a slight disdain for them in his tone.
I mean, what kind of background does this have to do?
