It doesn't matter what the lord is.

When there is an option for automatic combat, few people would choose to fight manually, right?

The happiest thing in life is not that you kick me and I punch you, but that I do nothing and wake up to find that my wallet is full.

This is the highest state of life.

I was dreaming and I was heading towards the sea of ​​clouds. After walking for about a day and a half, I got on the main road and saw a caravan coming from the side. The horseman lifted the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat. A chubby face appeared in the carriage. I looked at him and he looked at me.

The little fat guy smiled at me and asked:

"Where are you going, little brother?"

???

Little brother? ?

I glanced at him and saw that he seemed to be two or three years older than me, so I didn't bother with the question of addressing him and answered:

"Let's go to the sea of ​​clouds."

The fat boy stuck his hand out of the window, waved it at me exaggeratedly, and said:

"Oh, I know we're going to the Sea of ​​Clouds. This road only leads to the Sea of ​​Clouds. What do you want to do there? Do business? Visit relatives? Or attend an auction?"

I smiled and asked:

"What do you think?"

The little fat man looked at me for a while and said:

"You are here to attend the auction. I see that you have an air of nobility, and you are at least a powerful ruler. Let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Yuan, the ninth son of Lord Zhaochen, and now the Lord of Qianyuan City. Who are you?"

Damn it.

Although the Zhaochen territory to my north does take this road if you want to go to the Sea of ​​Clouds, I didn't expect that I would meet the young master of the Zhaochen family in such a place. I looked back and saw that his team had at least 40 or 50 people. For a moment, I couldn't figure out whether to take the initiative or continue to explore the situation.

As I said before, on the day I took office as city lord, Lord Zhaochen's threatening letter was already placed on my desk.

"I'll let my son visit you after a while" -

I originally thought that we would meet in battle in Yuxi City, but I didn't expect to meet so soon.

Brother Fang Yuan saw that I was in a difficult situation, and suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Oh my god, little brother, you are not from the Yunyang family, are you? Let me think, coming this way, to the Yuxi City? You are not the Lide that the Yunyang Lord drove out some time ago, are you?"

I didn't expect I was famous?

Since Fang Yuan guessed it, I didn't hide it and nodded to acknowledge it.

Fang Yuan's chubby face wrinkled even more when he smiled.

"Hey, you should have said it earlier! I've wanted to see you for a long time. My father sent you a threatening letter, right? Don't worry, he will definitely let Thirteenth Sister and my youngest brother lead the troops to fight you. It has nothing to do with me. I wanted to play cards to kill time on the way, but none of the young masters I usually play with came. I heard that you are also a famous Hana card master in Yunyang, why don't you come over and spar with me?"

He rubbed his hands together, looking expectant.

"Okay."

I nodded.

Anyway, the road to the sea of ​​clouds is still long, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have something to kill time.

2. This is the boundary of the sea of ​​clouds

I remember that some predecessors have summarized the experience.

It is said that whenever a fat man appears, his role is very clear. The one on the other side is the villain who will not survive more than three episodes, and the one on his side is responsible for the funny role.

I think this fat kid named Fang Yuan is neither of them. Although he is always smiling and friendly, he is actually a guy with his own ideas. It's a pity that after a few rounds of flower cards, he hugged my thigh and cried bitterly:

"Master, please be kind and leave me a pair of underwear."

He used to be a king, but now he has dropped to bronze.

I nodded:

"Don't worry. Your underwear is useless. I'll keep it for you."

Fang Yuan had a sad face:

"Don't worry, that's not what I meant. I meant the time when we gambled the goods just now..."

I crossed my legs and asked:

"Forget it?"

Fang Yuan hurriedly said:

"Of course I don't count it. A man's word is as good as gold. If I say I lose to you, then I lose to you. But can we go to Yunhai and wait for me to sell this batch of things and convert it into money for you. Don't worry, I said this truckload of things is worth a thousand gold coins, and I will definitely give you a thousand gold coins when the time comes."

"But this batch of stuff can actually be sold for more than 3,000 pieces in Yunhai?"

I curled my lips. Fang Yuan laughed and said:

"You know, life in Zhaochen Territory is not easy either. I am not well-received in the territory either. If I fail again in helping my father, I will have to use all my fat as stew meat."

I waved my hand:

"That's enough. I don't want your stuff anymore. Just tell me some inside information about your territory before we get to the Sea of ​​Clouds."

Fang Yuan widened his eyes, which were not very big at all, and said in surprise:

"Really?"

I took the three of clubs out of my sleeve and threw it in front of his eyes:

"Really? Don't be so stubborn when counting cards next time. I hide one card every time I shuffle it, so you can't figure out the result by counting the cards."

Fang Yuan slapped the wooden board of the carriage:

"I rely on!"

But soon he said dejectedly:

"Forget it. I knew earlier that playing cards with you old hands is a dirty word. But your moves are really fast. I didn't even see how you hid the cards. I accept the loss. I, Fang Yuan, will accept this favor from you."

Then he hugged my thighs and cried with snot and tears:

"Boss, you are my second parents! What do you want to hear? I, Fang Yuan, will tell you everything I know!"

I thought about it and asked:

"What kind of person is Lord Zhaochen?"

Fang Yuan answered confidently:

"do not know!"

"So what experts are there in Zhaochen Territory now?"

"Do I count?"

"How is the military distribution in Zhaochen Territory?"

"never heard of that……"

"Where is the money and food for Zhaochen Territory?"

"not sure."

I slapped him on the head.

"What do you know?"

Fang Yuan thought about it:

"My thirteenth sister is very beautiful."

He sat upright, his two fat legs crossed, his fleshy arms crossed in front of his chest, his neck shrunk, like a ball. He thought for a long time with a melancholy look as if he was constipated, and added:

"It's a pity that she can't walk or see. But she's really pretty."

I glanced at Fang Yuan and thought to myself, your family’s genes will surely pass on such good looks.

In addition to the Thirteenth Sister, Fang Yuan also talked about some things about the Zhaochen Territory intermittently.

He was quite evasive, but he did reveal some information.

For example, Zhaochen Territory is now facing a serious food and money crisis. The source of the problem seems to be the Lord of Zhaochen. He seems to be planning something that requires a lot of funds, so he appointed Fang Yuan, the Ninth Prince, to bring a batch of specialties to Yunhai Territory to sell.

Fang Yuan had lost repeatedly when playing cards before, and even mortgaged his own goods for a thousand gold coins, but I didn't plan to take it.

After the Sea of ​​Clouds, Yuxi City will sooner or later have to face the pressure from Zhaochen Territory in the north. If there are people you know there, maybe they can be of use.

It was quite pleasant chatting with this fat guy, and before I knew it, three tiring days of travel had passed.

One day, I was woken up from my sleep by Fang Yuan, who was spitting saliva, and I heard him yelling in a daze:

"Boss, Boss! We have arrived at the Cloud Sea Territory!"

I stretched myself and looked out of the carriage window.

The gentle breeze blew my hair, and the cool feeling on my face made me feel happy.

Before your eyes is a prosperous land like a fairyland.

Sea of ​​clouds... finally arrived.

Friends who are interested can add me. I am almost recovered from my cold, so I should be able to resume updating twice a day. I will not forget to update extra!

3. The sea of ​​clouds is a good place

"Come, come, little boss, take a look at this newly minted Xuantian sword. Look at its color, look at its texture! Weigh it, it's no exaggeration, it's an instant success. If you take it out, you'll look so handsome. You're a gentle and elegant gentleman, how can you not wear a peerless sword around your waist?"

"No, get out."

"Hey, sir, you are in luck today. Our salvage team just fished up a rare treasure from the deep sea. Look, it's this brown stone. Don't be fooled by its plain appearance. This thing is related to deep-sea dragons. Have you heard of the legendary Shadow Flowing Cloud Dragon? It is a creature that lives for thousands of years and has the power to call the wind and rain! After identification by experts, this thing is formed by the feces excreted by a deep-sea dragon that lives for thousands of years. Hey! Sir! Sir, please don't leave!"

"Fuck off!"

"Hahaha, young man. I see that you have an extraordinary figure and are a martial arts genius. When I was young, I also lived a happy life like you, with fine wine and beautiful women, and the world under my control. But without sufficient strength, how can you enjoy real happiness? Since you and I get along well, I will only charge you 100 gold coins for this "Chrysanthemum Manual"... Damn it! Why did you kick someone when you don't agree with me?!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Alas! I have met many heroes, but no one knows my talent! (sneak peek) I know everything about astronomy and geography, I can handle both business and cooking, I am good at both literature and martial arts, I can fight and fight (sneak peek), I have extraordinary talent, but it is difficult for me to meet a wise leader. I am so angry! I feel so wronged! (sneak peek) Is my talent buried like this? Will I never meet a talented boss in my life? (sneak peek)"

"Go, go, ignore this guy..."

I urged the coachman to hurry up.

Really, how come I met such unreliable people along the way?

I had just stepped off the carriage to go sightseeing when a large group of people immediately surrounded me and started trying to sell me things.

The so-called sea of ​​clouds is nothing more than this——

"There are new things in Yihongyuan! New singers, new top singers, different songs, different girls, come and play."

"and many more!"

I shouted:

"parking!"

The coachman was so scared that he quickly found a place to park. I had just opened the door curtain and got out of the car when Fang Yuan, who was following behind me in the car, came running over, hooked his hand on my shoulder in a lewd manner, and said with a smile:

"Boss, you are really smart. This Yihongyuan is famous here..."

I waved my hand:

"Come on, take me for a walk. Let me make it clear first, I am innocent, I am only here to take a look outside, I am determined not to go in."

It was obvious that Fang Yuan was not coming to Yunhai Territory for the first time, and he led me there with ease. As soon as we reached the door, a beautiful woman in her thirties who still had a charming demeanor ran out in a hurry, frivolously hooked Fang Yuan's arm, and said in a coquettish voice:

"Brother Yuanyuan, you still remember to come and see me. If you don't come, I will think you have a lover outside~"

I got goosebumps when I heard this and quickly distanced myself from Fang Yuan.

I didn’t expect that three girls would come running over to me in a semi-surrounded state. Two of them hugged my left and right arms, and one hugged my waist from behind. The last girl, who was in her teens, smiled sweetly in front of me…

Ouch. Huh? That's weird. My legs, my legs don't work!
