Raising the Demon

Chapter 243 A Ship of Jade Arrives in Xijing
Picking up the people all the way, the koi Yunzhou led the people across Xijing, came to Tushui, then went upstream along the Tushui, turned into a branch, and then circled back, it was near the Zhongshan School.

Although they made a big circle, the speed was extremely fast, but the crowd still didn't have enough fun, and they all clung to the cloud boat and refused to get off, saying: "Turn around again, turn around again!"

Zi Baifeng had no choice but to take them around again, let them enjoy the underwater beauty, and then stopped.

The boat surfaced, and two koi poked their heads out of the water. Zi Baifeng introduced: "These two koi are pulling the boat, Da Jin and Xiao Jin, Da Jin is the older brother, and Xiao Jin is the younger sister."

Everyone saw the heroic appearance of the two koi in the water, and Xing Qulang praised: "In the past, I only heard the allusion of the fish leaping over the dragon's gate, and I always thought it was just nonsense. Now it seems that these two koi are real. It's about to turn into a dragon."

The two koi were very happy to hear the praise, and they floated and sank in the water, having fun.

……

At Xijing Wharf, Red Ant sat on the wharf, watching an ordinary cargo ship slow down slowly amid the yelling of the boatman, and then bumped into the wooden frame of the wharf with a bang, the whole ship shook suddenly, and then came to a steady stop down.

Red Ant stood up, took off his shirt, was naked, with a towel around his neck and a straw hat. He looked no different from other boatmen. Beside him were several other men in the same dress , They glanced at each other and greeted them at the same time.

After a long journey, the cargo ship has changed color near the waterline, the sails are torn and frayed, and the mast is dirty and greasy. I don’t know how many times someone has climbed the mast.A dirty wooden plank protruded from the side of the ship and was placed on the pier. Several people walked up it lightly, and after a while, they walked off the ship carrying a box as tall as one person.

The wooden plank bent heavily, making a creaking sound. Obviously, this box is definitely not as light as it looks on the outside.

"Be careful, everyone slow down, slow down!" Qi Taixun, who is a cargo owner, jumped on the shore and shouted, looking like any ordinary cargo owner, a few donkey carts parked on the side of the pier, like a box When it was loaded, the donkey carts creaked and creaked. When several donkey carts were full, the handlebars made a cry, and the donkey carts began to pace hard.

It was always difficult and slow to start. Only the leading donkey ran forward for a while, and suddenly found that the other donkeys behind him had not followed, so he turned around and stood there waiting for a while.

"Don't be so fast! Be careful!" Qi Taixun yelled, "Go to the south, the warehouse is in the south, slow down, slow down! If it breaks, can you afford it? Slow down!"

"Damn it, another truckload of goods has arrived." In the distance, several merchants curled their lips, "I haven't seen you for a few years, this bastard, how did he develop like this?"

"He has a good cousin. If you have such a cousin, you can also get rich." Another businessman sneered.

"Could it be that these boxes are full of jade?" A businessman wondered, "I can't...it's all of them."

"Then what else could it be?" said the merchant at the front, "The old Han who looked at the warehouse took a sneak peek, it's all jade, it's all!"

"This is... more than ten days in a row!" The earliest businessman grinned, "Six boxes a day, more than ten days... one hundred boxes!"

"For such a big box, one box should contain a thousand jade stones. This is [-] jade stones."

"I don't know how many boxes there are in the future..." The merchants sighed, cursed, envied, and envied.

"A hundred thousand pieces of jade are almost enough to re-pave the entire Xijing." Another businessman muttered, "Does Xijing need to be overhauled? No, I'm going to inquire about it. If there is any project that can be contracted, hey-hey……"

Several businessmen keenly sensed business opportunities and turned around.

Qi Taixun sneered, although the distance was very far, the communication between these few businessmen could not escape his ears at all. If these people were really useful for these jades, they would be scared to pee.

Qi Taixun glanced sideways at the monks who were pretending to be laborers carrying the jade, and his heart was filled with an unspeakable sense of superiority. Although these people were also members of the Nine Infants, they only knew that the jade was used to "execute the big plan", but they had no I don't know what the big plan is.

Although he didn't know it completely, he knew that the big plan was related to the big formation underground in Xijing.

By destroying the large formation underground in Xijing, creating riots in Xijing, thus creating an opportunity for another major event.

To be able to participate in this important task, Qi Taixun has an unspeakable sense of honor, for the sake of the organization, he can sacrifice everything of himself.

In fact, those businessmen did not know that this big plan did not start from now. It had already started a few years ago, and the West Pavilion, South Pavilion, and North Pavilion were almost ready. Once the pavilion is settled, the big plan will be considered complete. By then, these people in Xijing, hehe, just wait for bad luck!
"My lord, the move has already been completed." The red ant walked to the side of the unknowingly thinking Tujia, lowered his voice, and reported.

"Well, good, you guys did a good job, I will report it to Lord Xiao Xie." Qi Taixun nodded, very reserved, "Keep this place well, don't let people in, being peeped by others, this kind of thing can never happen again Yes, did you hear that?"

"Yes, my lord." Red Ant lowered its head and replied.

Seeing Qi Taixun turn and leave, Chi Ant pouted: "Hmph, what the hell!"

"It's just a villain's success." The other person snorted, "If he hadn't climbed into the relationship with Lord Xiaoxie, he would have been nothing more than..."

"Speak carefully!" Another voice came from an older monk, he shook his head and said, "Don't offend villains easily, you don't want to end up like a dog."

Hearing the monk mention the dog, everyone looked awe-inspiring and didn't dare to say any more.

They were the ones to deal with the body of the dog. Within Jiuying, the superiors had the absolute right to life and death over the subordinates. After the local mole killed the dog, they were not even punished. This fully proved They have different status in Master Xiaoxie's mind.

Being moody and killing people when they get angry is the biggest characteristic of the mole. They have suffered more or less.

Master Xiaoxi appointed him as his deputy, and everyone could only endure it.

"The red ants are better. The red ants are the direct subordinates of Master Xuan Snake. They are temporarily seconded. They don't dare to do anything if they want to come here. We all have to live under Lord Xiaoxie. Don't cause trouble for yourself." Veteran The monk gave a few more words of advice, then turned around and went on patrol. If it was found to be filled with jade like last time, I am afraid that there will be real trouble.

……

"I will, I will!" Outside the gate of Zhongshan Bieyuan, Xiao Shitou's voice sounded.

Zi Baifeng and the others stood by, looking at the addicted little stone, shaking their heads helplessly.

Zhongshan Bieyuan is located at the foot of Zhongshan. Looking up from the foot, golden chrysanthemums are blooming all over the place. Zhongshan is a chrysanthemum-appreciating resort for Xijing people in this season of the year, but the best and most brilliant chrysanthemums are behind Zhongshan Bieyuan. Danju Valley.

All kinds of sayings in Danju Valley compete with each other, and the best viewing place is the chrysanthemum viewing platform behind Zhongshan Bieyuan. The chrysanthemum viewing platform is a natural cliff, surrounded by bluestone railings and built pavilions. A very elegant place.

But this kind of place is not open to the outside world. If you have the opportunity to come to the Chrysanthemum Terrace to watch the chrysanthemums in Danju Valley, even the dignitaries in Xijing flock to it.

The news that Zhongshan Bieyuan held a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party and opened it to everyone has already spread throughout Xijing. Fortunately, Zi Baifeng and the others came by boat, and they can also sneak underwater. Otherwise, I am afraid they are still stuck on the road You only need to look at the crowded carriages on the driveway that can accommodate eight horses in front of the other courtyard, and the young masters and ladies who are holding their skirts and complaining while getting out of the carriage and walking.

Zi Baifeng and the others got off the boat, and the two koi pulled the cloud boat and dived into the water. They didn't know where they went. The group of people were all cultivated, and they walked up while admiring the chrysanthemums, but it was extremely Quickly, when we reached the gate of the other courtyard, not many people had arrived yet.

There are a few stewards guarding the gate outside the other courtyard, they know Qi Hanshan and others, they cupped their hands and said: "Several young masters are here, the other courtyard is full of splendor, they should have walked backwards to welcome them into the courtyard, but... "

"It's okay, we're here naturally, we have to obey the rules, pass three levels, right? Which three levels?"

"Lantern riddles, I want to guess lantern riddles!" Xiao Shitou has sharp eyes and has already seen the lanterns of various colors hanging behind him. The steward smiled and said: "The first level is lantern riddles. There are more than a hundred lantern riddles here. Just choose one of them. If you guess right, you can go in."

So Xiaoshi quarreled that he would do it.

"Young Master, you don't need to guess, just follow in." Seeing that Zi Baifeng was holding Xiao Shitou's hand, the steward would know how to do things, he cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, I don't know what your master is..."

"I don't say anything." Zi Baifeng returned the salute with his hands slightly cupped, and said.

"Ah, disrespect and disrespect!" Zibuyu's name can be said to be resounding all over Xijing recently, even the manager knows it, he said with a smile, "I've heard that Zigongzi is a great talent, and today I meet him, he is really handsome, It’s a well-deserved reputation, it’s better for the young master to go through the third pass first, and the young master can follow in, so there’s no need to go through the pass again.”

He really didn't believe that little stone could pass three levels.

Xiao Shitou also heard it, and waited for the steward very unhappy, saying: "You look down on people! I can pass three tests!"

"I'm not good at games, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass these three levels." Zi Baifeng said, "My brother likes games very much, so let my brother pass the three levels."

"This..." the steward said, "I'm afraid it's not good..."

"What's wrong, how about it, if my younger brother can't pass the third test, I won't go in either." Zi Baifeng saw the little stone bouncing around in anger, smiled and touched the little stone's head, said.

"Brother Zi..." Chi Yanbai tugged on Zi Baifeng's sleeve, "It's very difficult to pass the three stages."

He pointed to the front, and a young scholar came out with his head lowered. Seeing everyone looking over, he quickly covered his face with his sleeves.

　First more.
