A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 25 Sudden Event (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)
"Buzz! Buzz!"

On a rural dirt road in Changzhou, a small off-road motorcycle arrogantly weaved back and forth.

He didn't leave until the oil was almost gone, amidst the scolding of many aunties.

Back at the villa in Changzhou, there were even several electric motorcycles parked in the courtyard.

Electric motorcycles are actually more comfortable to ride and quieter, but their range is too short, especially on uneven dirt roads, which is a disaster.

Off-road motorcycles are much better.

I've practiced for two days now, and I've basically learned it.

Therefore, Li Weizhou decided to take action today, just in time for Ximei not to be home.

He really couldn't wait any longer. The cost of taking medicinal baths on both sides was just too high. A small city like Qingzhou simply didn't have that much gold to exchange for it.

Gold was not the primary currency in circulation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Moreover, besides gold, Li Weizhou almost bought up all the gold and silver jewelry, and even gemstones and agates in Qingzhou City with silver.

These profits are enormous, even greater than those from pure gold.

But it has already reached its limit; if it continues, problems may arise.

In fact, if Li Weizhou weren't a member of the Li family, and if he didn't have Qi Erniang and Zuixianglou standing behind him, he would have been in danger long ago.

After practicing with a 200-pound barbell for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Li Weizhou locked all the doors, loaded both Smith & Wesson 500 rifles with bullets, and also loaded both UMP45 submachine guns with bullets, even disengaging the safety and chambering them. He fully charged the electric scooter and filled the gas tank of the off-road motorcycle...

In addition, there were even emergency medical supplies such as spare blood plasma, penicillin, syringes, gauze, alcohol, and saline solution in the refrigerator not far away.

On the table were two swords made of spring steel... which could be used for trading in critical moments.

Perhaps, it's even more valuable than gold and silver.

It's really great, it feels like being a middleman.

Li Weizhou was unwilling to give up this extraordinary opportunity in the Great Qian Dynasty unless absolutely necessary.

Where else can you find a job this good?
It's unlikely that Qidian will grant him a second extraordinary encounter...

After everything was ready, Li Weizhou let out a soft breath. To be honest, he was actually a little nervous.

When a person has nothing, they are actually the bravest. Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose; when a person dies, they face the sky—what's there to be afraid of!
But things are different now. Li Weizhou possesses a world, endless wealth, even miraculous martial arts skills, and a family who cares for and loves him...

In this situation, he would actually prefer to lay low and develop slowly without being impatient.

Unfortunately, one has no choice in the matter. Even if one wants to take a path of subservience, one must ensure sufficient resources for development, otherwise one will truly end up as a dog.

But it doesn't matter. With the truth in hand, we have at least an 80% chance of success, so it's not too risky.

Leave you!

……

“Woo woo woo…”

Li Weizhou jumped through a gap in the city wall, carefully avoiding the filth, garbage, rubble, and rotten branches scattered on the ground. The hooting of owls made the night even more silent.

No one knows every nook and cranny of Qingzhou City better than him; the drone captured every inch of it.

Even during the day, few people pass by here; it's where the poor people of the southern city dump their garbage...

After jumping off the city wall, Li Weizhou circled around to the official road, determined the direction, and walked forward for a while.

The whole world seemed to be asleep; it was so quiet.

People who are used to the presence of streetlights and the roar of car engines find it hard to imagine what a world would be like if there were no lights or noises, even in the distance.

It was so quiet that even Li Weizhou couldn't bear to break the tranquility.

However, after walking about two miles along the official road, Li Weizhou carefully took out his electric scooter, put on a leather jacket and pants, donned his helmet, and then turned on the throttle and set off.

The initial speed wasn't very fast, but after carefully passing through a village without causing any disturbance, it began to accelerate.

After running for twenty kilometers in one go, the road became increasingly bumpy and difficult to travel, so Li Weizhou switched to an off-road motorcycle...

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!"

This birdman, riding the world's first mechanically powered motorcycle, felt an overwhelming sense of superiority.

There was nobody there; not even one of the refugees we had been worried about.

That makes sense, there's nothing to block the wind on the main road, and the autumn wind is howling, even stronger at night.

The refugees aren't stupid; they'll definitely find somewhere to shelter from the wind and keep warm.

After traveling more than a hundred miles without incident, and only four or five miles away from Jingzhou City, when he could already see the city gate tower in the darkness, Li Weizhou put away his motorcycle, changed into normal clothes, and walked a few more miles before quietly waiting in the darkness.

Two more hours passed, and I silently joined the peddlers who were standing at the city gate carrying carts full of various agricultural products, preparing to enter the city.

……

Jingzhou City is in Zhongzhou, which, in Earth's terms, is a prefecture-level city. The city is much larger than Qingzhou City. It is also a necessary route to the northbound horse market, just not as close as Qingzhou City, but it is just as prosperous.

After paying the entrance tax of two copper coins, Li Weizhou strolled around the city with great interest.

He recently learned from reading that ancient cities were often laid out with a double-walled structure: an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city is located in the city center and is mostly the location of government offices. Its layout is also rectangular.

The east and west sides of the inner city often housed markets for merchants, rice, and fruit, as well as various shops, inns, teahouses, and restaurants.

Adding the places where the people live, that is Luocheng.

Jingzhou Prefecture is an example of this.

After a rather enjoyable stroll around, Li Weizhou entered a rather impressive-looking money exchange. He pretended to be a young master who was out and about, and the silver he took out was very presentable, so exchanging it was naturally very easy.

Six hundred taels of brand-new silver were exchanged for a full sixty-two taels and three mace of gold.

Following the same method, he went to four money shops and six silver shops in succession, exchanging a total of more than four hundred taels of gold.

Li Weizhou had no intention of giving up, because there was another Zhongzhou fifty miles to the south, where he could still reap another harvest.

But he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he bought a lot of things outside and hired a car to take them to the inn. He asked the innkeeper to help carry them upstairs and settle him in.

He went out again in the evening, asking the waiter to keep an eye on the room before leaving. Then Li Weizhou left empty-handed.

They wandered through the streets, quickly disappearing into the crowd. The few people watching them didn't pay much attention, since their belongings were still at the inn.

Of course, they waited outside the inn all night, but they never saw Li Weizhou again...

……

The following day, they arrived at Tongzhou City, 150 li to the east.

Li Weizhou used the same method to shake off most of his followers, and then suddenly left the city before dark, catching the remaining wolves who were following him off guard.

It's impossible to give up on a sucker who exchanges so much gold in a single day.

Some people followed him out, but the kid ran as fast as a rabbit.

They chased after them for a while longer, but there wasn't a trace of them left, as if they had never been there at all...

The return trip was pleasant; it was a very successful trip, bringing in at least 30 million.

This also solves the problem of funding for at least the next three months.

I wonder how far he'll go in three months. Maybe he'll have already broken through the barrier...

The first level of martial arts mastery is not a big deal here, but on Earth, hehehe!
While I was excited, I also felt some pressure.

Li Weizhou had long known that scholars were poor and warriors were rich, but he never expected it would cost so much money...

As he was pondering this, he suddenly felt something was amiss; there seemed to be some movement on the official road ahead.

Li Weizhou's eyes narrowed, and he instantly put away the electric scooter. He was glad he wasn't riding a motorcycle, otherwise he would have definitely alerted the other party.

He crouched down and hid behind a large rock by the roadside, a Smith & Wesson 500 revolver in his hand.

Sure enough, soon after, two horses came running towards them, their steps somewhat unsteady.

There was a man clinging to each horse's back. Suddenly, one of them struggled to his feet, stabbed the other horse in the tail with his sword, and roared, "Run!"

"Ah Ning!!"

Another person on horseback screamed pitifully, desperately trying to hold onto the precious horse beneath him. But the horse, in pain, neighed and shook its head, breaking free of the reins and about to leap forward like an arrow.

But just then, a sinister laugh came from all directions.

No one knew what it was, but a sharp "whoosh" pierced the heads of the two horses. The two poor steeds couldn't even let out a cry before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The two men and women on horseback, who were already seriously injured, either groaned or fell silent, it was unclear whether they had been crushed to death by the horse.

What the hell!

Li Weizhou was genuinely nervous; this was exactly the kind of scenario he wanted to avoid the most.

After hiding for so long, this is my first time going out to have some fun, and I run into this kind of trivial thing. I'm so angry.

This kind of thing should have less than a 10% chance of happening, yet he still managed to run into it.

Li Weizhou had absolutely no intention of being a savior. If the people who came killed these two and left, he would stay put and not utter a sound.

Unfortunately, just when everyone feared it, a dark figure suddenly appeared. Ignoring the two men pinned down by the horse, the figure turned around, stared intently at the roadside stones, and let out a sinister, cackling laugh...

Under the moonlight, that bastard's eyes were scarlet!

I fucking idiot!
Li Weizhou's hair stood on end, and in an instant, cold sweat soaked his back!
