Chapter 160: Eight-hundred-mile urgent report!
"Eight-hundred-mile urgent report from Fengzhou, make way, idlers!"
"Heavenly Tian Shuyuan student Ji You has established a noble family, may the province know!"
"Eight-hundred-mile urgent report from Fengzhou, make way, idlers, Heavenly Tian Shuyuan student Ji You has established a noble family..."
From the morning when the documents were signed until noon, countless posts were sent out by fast horses from Fengzhou Prefecture, the sound like rolling thunder, whistling through the streets and alleys.
Some were sent to the immortal sects here, some were sent to various counties and prefectures in Fengzhou, and some were sent to Shengjing. The sound of hooves broke the silence of the mountains and rivers, kicking up dust and sand in the rapid gallop.
At this moment, from Yuyang County to Night City, spanning a thousand miles, an event that determined the fate of Fengzhou finally came to an end.
The five major immortal manors were completely defeated, and the remaining Lower Three Realms were even more powerless to fight again.
And those immortal manors that had not gone to the mountains to besiege Ji You also kept silent in unison, watching the galloping horses on the boundless barren land, unable to help but grit their teeth.
Just as Cao Jingsong said, those who didn't dare to act last night, even if they were filled with resentment, didn't dare to act now.
Thus, the sound of hooves was like iron bones colliding, spreading for a thousand miles across the land of Fengzhou, deafening.
At this time in Yuyang County, Fengzhou, autumn leaves were everywhere, and the sorrowful dusk was deep with green clouds. After the autumn harvest, countless grains were dried on the threshing floor.
Before Fang Ruoyao walked here, she couldn't help but look toward the direction of the Ji residence.
She had been back for half a month, and she could still see Ji You a few days ago, knowing that he was practicing some kind of combined harvesting sword Dao, but in the last few days, there had been no news of him at all.
As a former fiancée, looking at the hometown where they both grew up, it was impossible to say she didn't care.
However, just at this moment, she suddenly discovered a group of people walking from outside the city, with solemn expressions heading toward Paifang Street, and more and more people gathered, as if there was no end in sight.
"?"
"What happened?"
Fang Ruoyao frowned slightly, then followed them and arrived at Paifang Street with those people, and then saw them all pouring into the Kuang family.
In the courtyard at this time, Xiang Kuangcheng was standing under a tree with withered yellow leaves, silent.
And beside him was Uncle Aqing from the west of the city, and his elderly mother.
Fang Ruoyao was slightly stunned, looking at Uncle Aqing's mother, her eyes showing some astonishment.
Because she had heard people say a few days ago that this year's harvest was very bad, and Uncle Aqing's family had many people, so he had to send his elderly mother to the nursing pavilion.
Logically speaking, Uncle Aqing's mother should have been sealed in a tomb by now, but she didn't know why she appeared in the Kuang family again.
"For this matter, the Kuang family needs to give us an explanation."
"That's right, although Xiang Kuangcheng is a high official in the capital, he is not an official of our Fengzhou, so there is no reason to do this, and besides, this is our own family affair."
"Digging open the nursing pavilion, this is going to be punished by heaven!"
Amidst the indignation of the crowd, Fang Ruoyao's red lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Xiang Kuangcheng.
Digging the nursing pavilion?!
She immediately called a farmer to ask about this, and gradually understood why everyone gathered at the Kuang family today.
Under the exploitation of tax offerings, many elderly people lost their ability to work but kept living, sharing an extra tax quota.
So this matter of the nursing pavilion had always existed in Fengzhou, and it was now a custom that people were used to, and some even said that parents dying early was accumulating blessings for the younger generation.
But no one expected that Xiang Kuangcheng would carry a hoe up the mountain and dig people out.
This matter caused a huge stir, so much so that the whole Yuyang County exploded.
Some said that tax offerings were about to be collected, and one more person meant one more share to be shared. Who would pay this extra share?
In this world, even strong laborers find it hard to survive, let alone elderly people who are about to die.
They knew that Xiang Kuangcheng had been warm-hearted since he was a child, but they never thought that he would do such a shocking thing upon his return.
The most critical thing is that this Xiang Kuangcheng actually used his status as an official in the capital to threaten everyone in the county, forbidding the construction of nursing pavilions for this period of time.
How long is this period of time?
You must know that the collection of tax offerings is about to begin, which is simply forcing those who still have elderly people at home to a dead end.
In the solemn courtyard of the Kuang family, Xiang Kuangcheng kept his eyes narrowed and did not speak.
Others might not know, but everyone in the Kuang family knew that he had had such a solemn expression for some time.
But he privately dismantled other people's nursing pavilions and strictly forbade them from being rebuilt, so he had to give people an explanation. Being silent like this is not a good strategy to drag it out.
"He is an official in the capital, I can no longer control him..."
"I have been asking him why he did this for the past few days, but he didn't say a word, it's as if he is possessed!"
The old master of the Kuang family slapped the table, his face full of anger, his beard trembling with rage.
And the group of people blocking the courtyard, seeing that even the old master of the Kuang family did not support his grandson, immediately became even more excited and accusatory.
In the messy house, countless noisy sounds poured into his ears, but the scholar still did not say a word.
Just at this moment, a sound of galloping horses and gongs suddenly came from the main street of Yuyang County, instantly suppressing the noise of the crowd.
Hearing this sound, Xiang Kuangcheng immediately opened his eyes wide, then stood up abruptly, pushed through the crowd, and ran outside the house.
The crowd blocking the Kuang residence immediately followed, and they came to Paifang Street in a swarm, only to see three people riding horses into the city, their voices resounding.
"Eight-hundred-mile urgent report from Fengzhou!"
"Heavenly Tian Shuyuan student Ji You has established a noble family in Fengzhou, Fengzhou will no longer pay offerings to foreign immortal manors!"
"Eight-hundred-mile urgent report from Fengzhou!"
"Heavenly Tian Shuyuan student Ji You has established a noble family in Fengzhou, Fengzhou will not pay offerings to foreign immortal manors!"
After the words fell, Paifang Street was silent for a moment, then the crowd was in an uproar, and even Fang Ruoyao couldn't help but open her eyes wide, realizing where Ji You had gone these days.
On the way here, she had actually heard several people discuss the establishment of a noble family.
What kind of risks would be involved, and how heavy the killing intent would be, she didn't even dare to imagine.
But she didn't expect that in just half a month, he had already become the head of the only immortal cultivation noble family in Fengzhou.
Fang Ruoyao was lost in thought for a long time, and suddenly saw her father running out of the mansion in a panic wearing his official uniform, respectfully receiving this message from Fengzhou Prefecture, then turning to look at her in the crowd, his expression becoming extremely complex.
Four years ago, it was also on this street, and it was also under the gaze of so many people.
Their Fang family brought a group of servants, holding sticks, and forced him to sign the annulment of the engagement in that medical clinic not far away.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at Xiang Kuangcheng, just as they looked at Ji You.
Because the two of them were originally similar youths, doing similar things.
"It's done..."
"You really deserve to be you, Brother Ji..."
Xiang Kuangcheng was empty-handed, unable to help but mutter silently.
At the same time, more detailed news had already been spread to the other eight provinces with the rapid departure of the walkers of other sects.
This speed was actually much faster than the eight-hundred-mile urgent report of Fengzhou Prefecture.
"Ji You has established a noble family."
"Didn't they fight?"
"The fight is over, they are all dead..."
"Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi were helped by Ji You's spirit sword, holding off four people, Ji You opened up the battlefield, trying to kill the Melting Dao realm..."
"When he came out of the mountain, his white robe had been dyed blood-red..."
"Although Chu He broke both hands in the autumn battle with him and could no longer fight, he didn't lose unjustly..."
On the sixth day of the beginning of autumn, Chu He was defeated and returned home, and since then, the outside world had been discussing this matter.
Amidst the sounds of amazement, there were always some different opinions.
It was as if a few criticisms would always pop up among a pile of praises, pointing fingers from a tricky angle, showing their uniqueness by being non-conformist.
So some people said that during the first autumn battle, the second son of the Chu family should have saved his strength, and there were still moves to be left for the second, or even the third battle.
But Ji You was very vigilant about the foundation of the thousand-year noble family, so he took advantage of this mentality and broke his hands in the first battle, not giving him a chance to use his full strength.
Otherwise, the result of this autumn battle really wouldn't necessarily be who won and who lost.
World rumors are always like this; different positions will always have different views.
But at this moment, no matter whether those views are true or false, they are no longer important after the result of the night at Night Chengshan.
Twenty-three people from the five major immortal manors died, including five Melting Dao realms, and no one survived.
Ji You set off from Yuyang County and successfully arrived at Fengzhou Prefecture to sign the documents.
In August of the first year of Taiyuan, before the collection of tax offerings, the first local noble family in Fengzhou was established.
Bai Rulong, Ban Yangshu, and Wen Zhengxin did not sleep all night yesterday, waiting anxiously for the news from Fengzhou, their hearts in their throats.
Immortal Emperor Long Xiandi didn't even have the mood to go to the Sword Forest to look at his buttocks, showing a solemn expression he had never shown since birth.
They were in Shengjing and couldn't see Fengzhou, which was full of yellow earth.
Especially since the time between negotiation and war came too fast, making it impossible to react.
At this moment, hearing that Ji You had already signed the noble family documents, they all sat in the courtyard where Ji You was in the outer courtyard and looked toward the ten-thousand-mile sky.
It's over, we really have to pay to work.
And in the courtyard, most of the female cultivators, such as Lu Qingqi and Lou Siyi, had the most profound appearance of the man once carved in their hearts appear in their minds.
Then they replaced him in their minds with blood-stained clothes, substituted him into the night scene full of killing intent, imagined the sword that tried to kill the Melting Dao realm, bit their pink lips, and couldn't help but want to have a secret child.
But at this time, the Management Tian Shuyuan and some inner courtyard disciples were more concerned about another matter, which came from the details depicted by the Fengzhou walkers in the academy.
"That Ji You killed eighteen Profound Understanding realms, then continued forward, and encountered the pursuit of two Melting Dao realms, one using a knife, one holding a steel whip."
"Three times, it shouldn't be four times."
"Anyway, what I saw was four times, but it could also be five or six times."
"In short, the manor lord who used the knife and the manor lord who used the steel whip tried to hit Ji You several times, but in the end, the weapons suddenly deflected, as if blocked by something, unable to land accurately, otherwise Ji You might have been seriously injured."
The three managers of the Management Tian Shuyuan were stunned for a long time after hearing the disciple's report, and then fell into silence.
And what the disciple said afterward, they could no longer hear clearly.
At the same time, in the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, He Lingxiu and a group of people who had gone to the outer courtyard to watch the autumn battle also heard this sentence, and their eyes gradually widened.
The weapon suddenly deflected, as if blocked by something.
This kind of description was not unfamiliar to them, because just by imagining it, they knew that the scene was very similar to the 【Hun Tian Technique】 used by Chu He, which was passed down by the Chu family...
How is this possible?!
And the impact caused by this matter was far more than the shock of the immortal cultivators of the Qingyun world at his killing of the Melting Dao realm, and the disbelief brought by various details.
At the same time, countless malicious intentions also sprouted.
At noon, in the inner courtyard under the high sun, a group of disciples were chatting about this matter and were scolded by an instructor from the Changsheng Hall for half an hour.
Also in the inner courtyard, in the Purple Bamboo Zen Forest, there were instructors who cursed that the newly admitted student was truly wolf-hearted.
Qingyun world, human race for thousands of years, noble families, immortal sects, immortal manors, under the relationship of marriage and blood, have long been intertwined, and pulling one hair affects the whole body is not an empty phrase.
Some instructors were originally from noble families and had unclear relationships with those immortal manors.
So it didn't take long for some noble families gathered in the five major halls to release words that they would absolutely not admit Ji You into the hall.
"Those immortal manors besieged Ji You in the name of bandits in the mountains. Actually, it's not unjust for them to die. Over the years, whether it's immortal sects or noble families, they have always done things in such a secretive way."
"But Ji You did a bit too much."
"Since it's secretive, life and death are normal, but what did Ji You say? He said he came just to kill, and didn't allow anyone to retreat."
"This is not just a matter of life and death; he is fiercely slapping the face of the noble families behind those immortal manors."
"The most important thing is that he cut off the heads of those people and threw them outside the mountain to Fengzhou Prefecture."
"Involving face issues, many people can't stand it. This is the same as the incident at the ruins at that time. The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan sent a bunch of cannon fodder disciples just to die, but being besieged by Spirit Sword Mountain is a matter of losing face."
He Lingxiu muttered with the fellow cultivators beside her, her brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
Before Ji You left the mountain, He Lingxiu had personally invited him to join the Zizai Hall and even stated that she would give him treatment no less than that of a direct disciple.
But their Zizai Hall also had several noble families gathered together, and they were closely linked to the immortal manors where Fengzhou was located. After the Night Chengshan incident, some elders in the hall had black faces from the morning.
Among them, Luo Zhanglao's face was the darkest.
Luo Pingshan was a member of a side branch of their Luo family, and he had also practiced in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. According to the reporting disciple, he had begged for mercy in the mountain.
This had already lost the face of their Luo family, making him, an elder, have no face.
But what made this Luo Zhanglao even more unacceptable was that even though his nephew from a side branch begged for mercy, he was still killed.
"That Ji You went back to his hometown in the name of returning with the admissions instructor, but in fact, he wanted to go to Fengzhou Prefecture to establish a noble family. This behavior is unexpected and catches people off guard."
"If it weren't for this, the old man would have definitely joined the Po Yue Mountain Manor in advance and killed this child in the mountain!"
"That's right, he did establish a noble family, but in essence, he is still a rural private cultivator, alone in this world, not knowing how terrifying the anger of our noble family is!"
Just as Luo Zhanglao finished speaking, he suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and a great fear was born in his heart, making his heart tremble.
The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan preaches from the Heavenly Book. No matter where the practiced Dao method focuses, one must always practice Heavenly Secrets as an auxiliary.
Luo Zhanglao discovered that at the moment he moved this thought, he felt an ominous premonition invisibly.
That is to say, if he really did as he said, he might cause trouble.
He is now a powerhouse in the Boundless Realm, and even in the Zizai Hall, he has a high status. There are very few people in the world who can give him trouble, let alone that remote place of Fengzhou.
Luo Zhanglao took a deep breath, feeling unbelievable.
And during this time of the eight-hundred-mile urgent report, Ji You had already bathed and changed clothes in the prefecture, and at this time, he was standing in the courtyard wearing a scholar's shirt, looking toward the sky, as if staring at something.
At this time, several young ladies in He Zhang's house were looking at him through the gauze window, with curiosity and shyness on their faces.
"What is he looking at?"
"Looking at the clouds, right?"
"What's so good about clouds, why not come and look at me?"
"Hey, how can younger sister be so frivolous."
Amidst the chirping sounds, a peerless sword Qi suddenly soared from the distance in the northwest, instantly cutting through the sky, returning south, leaving only a long trace of clouds being cut open, traversing ten thousand miles.
Clatter!
A teacup fell and shattered.
Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi, who were drinking tea in the side hall, suddenly rushed out of the side hall and looked at the sky, their eyes filled with terror.
"In the city... there is an existence of the Upper Five Realms perfection?!"
Pei Ruyi held her breath at this time: "Maybe just passing by?"
Cao Jingsong opened his mouth with a solemn expression: "This is Fengzhou, not Central Province!"
The Upper Five Realms perfection, even in an immortal sect, can be called a foundation existence. On this land of Fengzhou, there is not even a noble family, how could such a peerless power of this realm be hidden.
You must know that although last night's battle was hearty, in the eyes of such an Upper Five Realms expert, it was actually no different from children fighting with branches.
If he wanted to, last night he would have just waved his hand lightly, and the three of them would have exploded and died instantly.
Thinking of this, Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi felt their scalps go numb instantly, not expecting that when they were so arrogant last night, they were actually always under someone else's blade.
It's just that I don't know why that peerless power didn't take action last night.
And other Upper Five Realms immortal cultivators in the city felt that terrifying aura more or less, couldn't help but look up, and immediately clenched their hands tightly.
So yesterday, Fengzhou had an existence of the Upper Five Realms perfection!
Unfortunately, he didn't take action, otherwise, even if Ji You had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult to walk out of Night Chengshan!
But this is the foundation of the Kyushu noble families. No matter how strong Ji You is, he is ultimately alone at this moment. How can he fight against this world.
The appearance of this aura is clearly a deterrent!
Telling him that establishing a noble family is no problem, but don't do some things too much!
Fengzhou Governor He Zhang heard the commotion at this time, and couldn't help but walk out of the study, looking at the long trace in the sky, and then looking at the horror and solemnity on the faces of Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi, couldn't help but sink in his heart.
So even if the documents are signed, is this first noble family in Fengzhou so unstable?
That's right, he is ultimately alone after all...
"Ji You, you still can't stay here for long. You go and pack up first, we will set off back to the academy in the afternoon."
"Is it possible that that was invited by me."
Hearing this, Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi were all stunned, and even He Zhang couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
Everyone in the world knows that Ji You came from a secular landlord family in Yuyang County, and later even his home was gone, and he didn't even have the next meal.
So they find it hard to believe that Ji You could invite an Upper Five Realms perfection to sit in town.
Cao Jingsong looked at him for a long time: "Are you kidding me? That's an Upper Five Realms perfection!"
"Really."
"Are you someone's illegitimate child?"
Ji You thought about it after hearing this, thinking to himself that he is not an illegitimate child, but he is almost right about two words, he is just an illegitimate husband.
Could this be the fragrance of eating soft rice?
Delicious, love to eat, and still eat.
At the same time, on the Xuanjian Peak of Spirit Sword Mountain, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were rushing up the mountain.
Lingzhou and Fengzhou are one south and one north, far apart. Their news is far less timely than the three northern sects, but they heard the wind in an afternoon, and at this time they quickly went up the mountain.
However, just as they arrived at the top of the mountain, they found an elderly swordsman in front of the hall, who was Elder Qi, the head of the sword Dao of the Heavenly Jianfeng.
This is the sword Ji You gave to their manor lord. Now his daughter has joined the Xuanjian Peak, and they can be considered their own family.
At this time, the two walked to the peak, then bowed slightly: "Seen Elder Qi."
Qi Zhengyang nodded, his white beard fluttering in the wind.
"Our manor lord is still in seclusion, I don't know why Elder Qi came here?"
Just as the words fell, the door of the Yunding Tianque was suddenly pushed open, and Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi appeared from the hall, wearing that manor lord immortal robe, wearing a glazed immortal crown, her long eyelashes curled upward, her skin white and beautiful.
Although she has not yet broken through the realm, the temperament of the little manor lord at this time is already more sacred than before.
That beautiful figure and beautiful face are truly an existence that is beautiful in the world.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that the manor lord had decided to seclude herself into the Boundless Realm, and had already ordered that no one could disturb her.
But she didn't follow it herself, and had already secretly come out three times.
The first time was hearing about the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan autumn battle, arranging for Zhuo Wanqiu to watch it. The second time was Zhuo Wanqiu returning under orders, bringing some things that destroyed the Dao heart.
The third time was one night, when Cui'er went down the mountain to visit relatives, she took the shift to guard, and found the manor lord coming out of the secret room of seclusion with bare little feet, watching the things that destroyed the Dao heart all night.
And today, it is already her fourth time coming out of seclusion halfway.
"Elder Qi, you have worked hard on this trip."
Qi Zhengyang waved his hand: "The manor lord is serious, I just stood on the mountain top and watched for a night, and couldn't help much, the word hard work is really not worth mentioning."
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi's eyelashes trembled lightly: "Couldn't help?"
"I didn't have a chance to take action at all, and he had already won."
Elder Qi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at the ten-thousand-mile sky above the sword peak: "The last sword, I actually only showed it to him once, I didn't expect him to really learn it, he is truly a natural sword seed."
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was slightly stunned, her brows wrinkled slightly: "Please don't scold him, Elder Qi."
"?"
Qi Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand: "The manor lord misunderstood, I mean sword Dao seed, the sword of spirit sword, I mean a person with clear sword heart, congenitally close to sword Dao, is a sword seed."
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi narrowed her eyes after hearing this, and then her roundness straightened slightly.
Elder Qi then left, floating like the wind.
The little manor lord of Spirit Sword Mountain did not immediately go back to seclusion, but her eyelashes trembled lightly, unable to help but be distracted, thinking that the strange man she had only seen three times had become stronger again.
Before he wasn't that powerful, he pinched her face, bit her little feet, and hugged her, now...
The little manor lord couldn't help but lower her head and look at her roundness.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu had already turned around at this time, looking at each other, thinking that it turned out the manor lord had sent Elder Qi to Fengzhou.
If that's the case, the manor lord's fourth time coming out of seclusion halfway was actually because of him.
Everyone in the world thinks that the young master is a rural private cultivator, a lonely person, looking down on him, making sarcastic remarks, all over the place, this situation has not improved even after he entered the inner courtyard.
But they don't know that if everything is spread out on the table, the entire Spirit Sword Mountain is almost the noble family behind him.
However, apart from this layer of relationship, the young master is not an ordinary person either.
Eighteen Profound Understanding realms, five Melting Dao realms, you must know, this is not in the ruins, that is a real Melting Dao realm...
The two were thinking, and suddenly felt their hearts tremble, and then found that the sword in their scabbard was constantly humming, and killing intent was gradually born.
But soon, they found that the spirit sword in their scabbard gradually calmed down, and looking up again, their own manor lord, who was like a goddess descending to the world, had a cold face turning red.
"Oh, by the way, manor lord, there is a letter for you."
Ding Yao suddenly remembered something at this time, took out a letter from her bosom, with the name Yuan Caiwei of the Pill Sect written on it: "This letter has been here for three days, I know you are in seclusion, so I didn't report it."
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi regained her senses, her beautiful eyes falling on the letter: "Is this the reply from last time?"
"The maid didn't look, but it should be."
After the autumn battle incident, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi wrote a letter to Yuan Caiwei, feeling a bit showy.
Later, Yuan Caiwei replied with a letter, which had been kept in Ding Yao's hands.
The little manor lord opened the envelope and took a look at this time. There were only a few lines on the letter, no more than a dozen words.
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi read it word by word, her brows gradually wrinkled, and a trace of confusion and displeasure flashed in her eyes.
When the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan came to Spirit Sword Mountain to ask about the Dao, they went to the Pill Sect halfway. Ji You said that Yuan Caiwei snatched the thing she should have seen first.
Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi thought it was the beautiful chest of the strange man, so she specially wrote a letter to indicate that she had also seen it.
But what is going on with this reply?
Not just this?
What else did that woman Yuan Caiwei see?
