Qianzhou.
Qianzhou was named after Qianzhou, showing how vast this province was.
Yun Province, which was connected to Qianzhou, was close to the grasslands of the outer regions. It was vast and sparsely populated, but it could raise good horses. The herdsmen were even more valiant. They could graze when dismounted and shoot when mounted.
There was an abundance of food and an abundance of soldiers and horses.
King Wu Yi obtained these two provinces and established a deep foundation. In the future, he would be able to sweep through the world!
On the official road, a few donkeys leisurely walked over. On them was a Taoist and two female priests. They looked very relaxed.
Putting Wu Ming aside, Huang Ying and Li Xiuyun had completed half of the mission and escaped from King Yi Mei's camp. Naturally, they had a bright future ahead of them.
Wu Ming had read history books and knew that King Yi Mei Han Hulin was unreliable. If he continued to stay on the ship, he would definitely die. Whether he was knocked over by the waves or disintegrated, he would still end up in a miserable state. Huang Ying naturally knew this better.
Now that she could escape death and there was hope of completing the main mission, she was naturally much more cheerful. She even dared to talk to Wu Ming occasionally. On the other hand, Li Xiuyun had always been polite and did not dare to say anything extra. This cautious look made Wu Ming quite speechless.
"Listen up … King Wu Yi is benevolent and takes pity on you refugees. He specially ordered you to build a village and give each family 20 mu of land. The tax is half of the mu's yield. If you farm for five years, or if your family has a man in the army, this land deed will be directly given to you!"
Compared to the other provinces, there were very few refugees in Qianzhou. Even some of the fields were not abandoned. They were organized to be farmed again. There was a feeling of 'a new beginning, everything is new'.
The journey was quite peaceful. There were no bandits or thieves. In the afternoon, they saw a large city.
"King Wu Yi's order: those who have refugees can go to the camp next to them to settle. Those who want to enter the city will have to pay a copper coin. Merchants can be exempted from this fee. In addition, fighting is strictly prohibited in the city. Those who violate this rule will be reduced to hard labor and beheaded again!"
The city gate officer read the order loudly. Some refugees in ragged clothes were led to the camp next to them. They first drank a bowl of thin porridge, and their eyes became more lively.
"Taking in refugees, focusing on martial arts, encouraging commerce, and maintaining strict order. It does indeed look like that!"
Wu Ming and the other two lined up obediently and didn't get harassed. After entering the city, Wu Ming sighed.
"This Zhai Xingzi is not a bad person. He is also a Taoist Master level cultivator. If I help him, he will be a great help in the future. Not to mention other things, at least under his protection, this Samsara task may be completed without any danger …"
A glint flashed in Huang Ying's eyes as she sighed, "King Wu truly has the appearance of a king. He is number one in the world!"
"Hehe …"
Wu Ming smiled but said nothing.
He and Huang Ying had history books as their golden fingers. As for the others, even if they were Daoist cultivators, when they saw this scene, they would really have to bow their heads.
"Damn it … this Zhai Xingzi doesn't eat rice …"
Huang Ying said a few more words. Seeing that Wu Ming was still indifferent, she couldn't help but feel anxious. "Don't tell me I really have to do as I promised with Han Hulin and go to the meeting of the Golden Pool that has a slim chance of survival? No … I don't want to die yet! "
However, she secretly made up her mind. If Wu Ming insisted on doing things his own way, then she could only try to escape.
Anyway, the task was already more than half completed. There was no need to stay in Han Hulin's camp. The next task was just a survival task. She was confident that if it really didn't work, she could just go to some deep mountain and protect herself.
"Master …"
Huang Ying asked a few more times. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
"Naturally, it's the Qianzhou City, the Martial King Palace …"
Wu Ming laughed, "Since my disciple thinks so highly of it, we should naturally go and take a look … Hmm, this is related to the fate of the people. We can't just look at the surface. We have to investigate carefully. From today onwards, we won't ride mounts. We'll walk instead. Also, we have to pay attention to the use of money. We can't take ill-gotten gains. Throw away the gold, silver, and jewels we obtained from the army!"
"Throw away?"
Huang Ying's mouth was slightly agape. Even Li Xiuyun, who was beside her, looked over in surprise.
"A spoonful of food and a ladle of drink. They are all self-reliant. Only then will they not be entangled by the Qi!"
Wu Ming touched his chin, "The two of you should also change your appearances. Change into the two boys of I! Don't worry, I is good at divination. Three divination a day is enough for us … "
It wasn't that they didn't want money. It was just that the higher Wu Ming's cultivation base was, the more he understood the mysteries of the heavens.
They were originally guests from another world. If they were to take more wealth, it would be easier for them to attract the attention of the heavens. Especially when they were going to meet a real dragon!
"Ah …"
Huang Ying sighed. It was obvious that she could foresee the miserable life ahead. She comforted herself, "Don't worry, don't worry! Isn't it just a little hardship? As long as we don't go to the Ten Extremes or the Meeting of the Golden Pool, everything will be fine! "
"Hmm, don't worry. I will definitely not miss the other 'Martial' of the Ten Extremes …"
At this moment, Wu Ming said something that made Huang Ying's heart feel like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss …
…
Leye City was the capital of Qian Province. It was well-connected and had the advantage of water transportation.
Under King Wu's rule, Leye City's prosperity was not affected in the slightest despite the chaotic times. In fact, due to the peaceful life, many large clans and county nobles from other provinces were attracted to buy property in the city, making preparations for a crafty rabbit with three burrows. While the price of land was continuously pushed up, it also brought new vitality to Leye City.
On this day, a Daoist, together with two Daoist children, arrived at Leye City, looking rather travel-worn.
The Daoist looked ordinary and wore a black and white Daoist robe. The edges of the robe were stained with dirt. The two boys behind him had dark faces and looked extremely ordinary. They were holding two white slogans. One of them had the words, 'Iron mouth breaks straight, honest to all.' The other one had the words, 'No more than three a day'. The handwriting was strong and had a special charm. It was Wu Ming's own handwriting.
"Master …"
Huang Ying's soft voice could be heard from behind. "Can you not do this … It's so embarrassing …"
"What's wrong with that?"
Wu Ming shook his head disdainfully. "I'm not someone who deceives the world. Didn't you see how the other cities looked down on me before flocking to me to ask for my divination? Learn from Yun 'er and see how obedient she is! "
"Master … Master …"
Li Xiuyun pouted and grabbed the banner with both hands. In Huang Ying's eyes, she was so nervous that she could not speak.
The main gate of Leye City was wide open. There were a large number of soldiers patrolling the area, but they did not charge entrance fees. They were slightly stunned when they saw Wu Ming and the others. However, Wu Ming had his own Daoist credentials and had prepared an identity for the two girls, so they were allowed to pass.
"The red air is thick like the rising sun. It's really a scene of prosperity …"
Wu Ming shook his head and sighed pretentiously.
However, in his eyes, Leye City was worthy of its name. After all, it was the residence of a True Dragon. It could protect a peaceful land in troubled times and allow people to live and work in peace.
"Master, what do we do next?"
Huang Ying asked weakly.
"Same old rules. We'll find lodging or be on the list first. Then, we'll see if there are any fat sheep on the streets that can be slaughtered … Oh! No, it's to help people solve their problems! "
Wu Ming looked left and right. He had already seen most of Leye City's luck and could not help but praise it in his heart.
"Daoist!"
As expected, Wu Ming and the others were a little conspicuous, especially the banner behind them. It was very ostentatious and immediately attracted attention.
"This young master is called I?"
Wu Ming smiled and looked at the guy in front of him who was blocking the way.
The other party was dressed in silk and satin. There was a small hat on his head with a jade the size of a cat's eye, swaying under the sun. His skin was fair and tender, and his eyes were slightly sunken with a hint of black. It was obvious that he was the kind of rich young master who lived like a prince and indulged in wine and women.
"Of course I'm calling you. Straight Out of Iron Mouth. Hehe, what a big tone!"
The young master's peach blossom eyes first swept over Li Xiuyun. However, Wu Ming's disguise was too successful. In the eyes of others, Huang Ying and Li Xiuyun were two clumsy Daoist children. Naturally, they did not attract much interest.
The rich young master naturally took a glance and pointed at the words on it. "I know straight out of iron mouth, but what does it mean by no more than three a day?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Wu Ming cupped his hands, and his eyes emitted a look of compassion. "The secrets of heaven cannot be easily revealed. I only do divination or physiognomy for three customers a day, but it is also a way to cherish my fortune and protect myself …"
"I see. Then, what do you think of me?"
The young master laughed, as if he had been bored all day and finally found some fun.
"Young master, there is a red aura at the base of your mountain, and the bright yellow color penetrates your forehead. Obviously, you are a rich man …"
At first, when Wu Ming said two sentences, the young master was still sneering. However, when he heard the next sentence, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"However, at this moment, your face is gloomy, and your cheeks are sunken with a greenish-black color. You are facing a great tribulation … This tribulation originates from a peach blossom, but the cause of it is your father. It is almost a disaster of blood. If you want to break it …"
At this point, Wu Ming stopped talking. Beside him, Huang Ying immediately held up the Karma Bag.
The Young Master's expression became uncertain.
He had a secret that no one knew. It was that he had taken a fancy to a maidservant by his father's side.
However, everyone in the backyard knew that his father was also very fond of her. She was like half a maidservant and half a concubine. As a son, this was treason and went against filial piety. If this was exposed, the consequences …
He took out an ingot of silver, about five or six taels, and threw it into the Karma Bag. "What do you want?"
"Come closer!"
Wu Ming smiled and whispered a few words into the young master's ear. Instantly, the young master's face lit up. He thanked Wu Ming and left.
Beside him, Huang Ying and Li Xiuyun rolled their eyes when they saw this. They were already used to it.
Wu Ming had the supernatural power of Qi Observation. Together with Taoist techniques, he was always successful in divination and fortune-telling. Even if he restrained himself, nine out of ten guesses was still a very impressive result. If not for the fact that he was still young, it would be easy for him to make a name for himself in a state.
