Chapter 55 Party

A new person in charge has come to the inner courtyard.

That day, as soon as he arrived at the shop, Li Yuan learned the news, but what surprised him was.

"Yu Zhen, the ghostwriter, how could it be him?"

Li Yuan's eyes swept over Yu Zhen, the ghostwriter who scolded the apprentice in front of the courtyard gate, and Qin Xiong who seemed to have just left after a conversation, and he became alert in his heart.

After returning from Fajiu Mountain, he has been paying attention. The reward for Nian Jiu has been raised to 200 taels again. Almost most of the city guards are chasing the murderer in the city guards, and the funeral music of each family has been played for several days.

The ghostwriter in the city has also left long ago.

This Yu Zhen...

"Maybe he is also involved?"

Li Yuan was alert in his heart, but he did not turn around and leave. He went to the inner courtyard as usual and paid homage to the new person in charge with other apprentices.

Yu Zhen seemed to have forgotten him long ago. He said a few words casually and left yawning. Yue Yunjin was still teaching the apprentice.

"Brother Li, there will be a small meeting in the inner city in four days. Do you want to go with us?"

Wu Ming put down the stone mill to strengthen his strength and walked over.

"Miss Lu's moment?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. After Tang Tong left, Wang Gong met him several times, but never mentioned this matter again.

"You know it too?"

Wu Ming was slightly startled, then nodded:

"Mr. Zhang told you that there are six quotas for joining the Divine Weapon Valley next year in our academy, no, it's the quota for assessment."

"Master said so."

The two found a secluded place to talk, mostly Li Yuan asked and Wu Ming answered.

"The Divine Weapon Valley is a thousand-year-old sect. All the cities and counties in Zhelong Prefecture follow its lead. It is the real overlord."

When mentioning the Divine Weapon Valley, Wu Ming's eyes were full of respect and yearning:

"The last time the Divine Weapon Valley opened its mountain gate was decades ago. Normally, we are not qualified to join the Divine Weapon Valley. This opportunity must not be missed."

Li Yuan thought about it and accepted Wu Ming's invitation.

He was also very curious about the Divine Weapon Valley.

On the way back to the forging room, he accidentally glanced and saw Niu Gui and Liu Qing whispering in the corner of the martial arts arena. They dispersed when they saw him coming.

"These two people?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

They were all apprentices in the middle courtyard. Even if they were separated, their private relationship was not bad. But seeing him suddenly disperse?

"Is there something wrong?"

Thinking that Liu Qing came up around the time Qin Xiong was transferred away, Li Yuan felt a little cold.

That bear might have been eyeing him a long time ago...

After thinking about it, Li Yuan did not want to alert the enemy and turned to the forging room.

...

Li Yuan asked for three days off.

During these three days, Li Yuan did not go to the forging shop. He got familiar with the new palm control combination at home and rented a small courtyard in a nearby alley through the yahang.

Of course, he was in a hurry and paid a few more coins.

After that, he asked Li Lin to accompany him to buy some tables, chairs, bedding and the like. He was busy for three days before he moved in.

"You don't spend money like this. There's enough room at home, but you have to move out."

At night, in the newly rented courtyard, after having a good meal and a good drink, Li Lin, who was a little drunk, was supported by Wang Juan and was still complaining,

talking about saving money to get married and have children.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and save money."

Li Yuan dealt with it and sent his second brother home. Li Yuan took a long detour and was familiar with the streets and alleys of Chaiyufang. He had to do this every day for the past three days.

"The last Leopard Tail Yijin Pill!"

Li Yuan was a little reluctant. He couldn't bear to buy a pill that cost ten taels, but he had to admit that this pill was effective.

The tendons grow one inch longer and the strength increases by three points. This is the best pill to assist in horizontal training martial arts.

"Keep it for now."

Putting the pill back into the bottle and the bottle into the Liuhe boots, Li Yuan raised his head and swallowed a blood-enriching pill. Feeling the slight heat rising in his body, he practiced the military posture in the house.

With the power of the Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill, in just a few days, he found that his blood circulation had begun to move towards a large circulation.

"If there are enough Leopard Fetus Yijin Pills, it feels like a large circulation can be formed in a few months at most, but it's a pity..."

After slowly pushing the twenty-four forward and reverse postures, Li Yuan broke out in a sweat, and the blood and qi in his body were exhausted. He had to swallow another blood-replenishing pill.

This was repeated several times, and it stopped late at night.

"It hasn't rained for a few days..."

Looking at the moonlit night sky, Li Yuan closed the doors and windows, took off his clothes and went to sleep.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, he went to the forging room as usual and followed Zhang Ben to learn the techniques of quenching, tempering and grinding.

Near noon, he put down the forging hammer and went out.

"Junior Brother Li, here!"

Wu Ming was already waiting outside the door, and Yue Yunjin, whose complexion had recovered a lot, was also there. He nodded reluctantly, looking like he was worried.

The three of them headed for the inner city. On the way, Yue Yunjin was silent, while Li Yuan asked about the gathering. He was very concerned about the Divine Weapon Valley.

However, Wu Ming didn't know much more than him. The only useful thing was that Miss Lu's aunt was said to be an inner disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley.

"The sister-in-law of County Magistrate Lu is also from the Divine Weapon Valley? It's really complicated..."

Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

The inner city is much more prosperous than the outer city. At noon, the streets and alleys are filled with the aroma of wine and meat.

"Yi Zi Restaurant."

Li Yuan looked up.

This restaurant is nine stories high and is the tallest building in the inner and outer cities. It belongs to the "Yi Zi Inn". All the visitors are rich. It is said that a meal costs one or two taels of silver.

When we got here, Yue Yunjin was fine, but Wu Ming was a little cautious. Both of them had good family backgrounds, but this was his first time here.

"You three, please come this way. Miss Lu has already given the order."

A waiter came forward to greet me, bowed and led the way with a smile.

Li Yuan was not restrained and looked at the restaurant with interest. The decoration was good and the layout was not bad. There were waiters waiting with their heads down outside each private room.

"Brother-in-law!"

As soon as they reached the third floor, someone came over, dressed in brocade and elegant, and greeted Yue Yunjin with a smile, and a smile appeared on the latter's face.

The young man was quite talkative. After a few words of conversation, Li Yuan knew that this man was the Inner City County Lieutenant and the son of Qiu Da's immediate boss, named Liu Zheng.

"The breathing is strong, the qi and blood are full, and the qi and blood are also strong. Is it more solid than Yue Yunjin?"

Li Yuan was not surprised.

As long as you get started with martial arts, you can master it from mastery to great success, you can keep up with the elixirs, and you can quickly accumulate bones.

There is no shortage of wealthy households in the inner city, and it is not uncommon for people to have great energy and blood.

But the real difficulty is not to accumulate blood energy, but to break through the inner energy.

"This is Liu Yunwu, the fourth son of the County Cheng family."

"Wen Yida, the third son of the County Cheng family..."

"The young lady from Lord Wang's family, Wang Peiyao, Miss Wang..."

…

Liu Zheng led the way into the private room and introduced the three of them.

There were more than a dozen people in the private room, all of them bright and beautiful, making it look like the few people from the outer city were a little shabby.

‘Really, there are no white men in our dealings! ’

Li Yuan clicked his tongue in his heart and glanced at Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, whose expressions were not very good.

There were many young ladies from the inner and outer cities, so these two seemed less outstanding. Of course, it would be different if they were the young ladies from Shopkeeper Cao's family.

The Cao family of Blacksmithing Shop is not a small family.

"Everyone, sit down first."

Among the crowd, a woman spoke.

As soon as she opened her mouth, all the gentlemen and ladies in the private room stopped talking.

It goes without saying that this soft-spoken, delicate-looking young lady is Lu Bailing, the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate Lu Yunqing.

…

After some polite exchanges, Li Yuan found a corner and sat down next to Wang Gong, who looked ugly.

"Well, this pastry is good, and the fish is also very tender. Tsk, honey water..."

The young masters and ladies were chatting enthusiastically, and Li Yuan was listening and tasting the delicious food.

Especially honey water. He hadn't drank sweet water for a long time.

Unlike the apprentices in the outer city, the ladies and gentlemen in this private room knew a lot, and they talked about a lot of things that were considered secrets for Li Yuan at this time.

In name, the imperial court is the co-owner of the world, but in fact, in the Zhelong Mansion, the Divine Soldier Valley is the sky.

This is a different dynasty system from the previous life. Li Yuan has read a lot these days and knows the reason.

Pang Wenlong, the great ancestor of the Great Fortune, only started his army when he was seventy years old. All the sects responded to the clouds and conquered the world together. The disciples of each sect have already penetrated into every aspect for more than a thousand years.

In the end, a pattern was formed in which the Universiade established the country with force and ruled the world with sects.

"Similar to the enfeoffment in the previous life? The difference is that the sect is not king, but it can indeed influence the court and even control the court..."

"Three thousand divine guards?"

"Zhelong Mansion, Hundred Martial Arts Ranking?"
