Chapter 265 My adults are greedy but don’t play chess

After bidding farewell to Xijianmen Su Qian.

In a moment, Cao Zhengxiang's figure had arrived at the city gate.

It's not that he looked down upon Su Qian's arrival. According to Cao Zhengxiang's usual character, he would definitely have some teasing with Su Qian.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Su Qian's white and tender jade hands holding the sword made him deeply moved.

I recall that a certain royal princess in the past was also so delicate and smooth.

But come to think of it, important things cannot be delayed.

Although what happened today surprised everyone, looking back, it makes sense.

After all, no one stipulates the pace of development of things, it must be according to your plan.

At the city gate.

There was a constant flow of people coming in and out.

Gu Shouzhi was wearing green clothes and standing in an inconspicuous place outside the city gate.

He looked back at Cao Zhengxiang, who was walking towards him with a smile: "Have you told Chen Mu?"

Cao Zhengxiang nodded: "I talked to the Lord on the way here, but from what he said, we might not be able to get out for a while. I just didn't expect that the great scholar from the academy would come so quickly."

Gu Shouzhi sighed: "I didn't expect that according to the previously planned journey, I should have arrived later, but I didn't expect that Beiyue County directly gave up the fight for the academy, so Li Ru changed his route directly .”

"It doesn't matter, it's just one less competitor."

"What did Chen Mu say? What's the explanation?"

Cao Zhengxiang smiled: "My lord can't come out for the time being, so we can only use the Tianyin Yuan to communicate. However, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. With you and me here, it will be enough."

Gu Shouzhi complained helplessly: "He's not worried."

"Haha, I'm actually worried." Cao Zhengxiang looked at a group of figures appearing in the distance: "Of course, the academy is already in the pocket, and your master is mainly worried about the one from the capital. In recent days, some people have noticed that he came."

When Gu Shouzhi heard this, his expression became a little solemn.

"I hope everything is okay. If it is really calculated to that point, there is nothing we can do about it. We can only take it bravely."

Cao Zhengxiang raised her sleeves with her hands: "For adults and Fengjiang, in fact, these don't matter. After all, they will face it sooner or later. But at that time, they will not care about the kings and ministers of the dynasty. If people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Outside Fengjiang City, We don’t care.”

Gu Shouzhi nodded: "This is natural. If they really dare to take action, what Fengjiang should do is Chen Mu's freedom and a clear conscience."

Cao Zhengxiang smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Actually, there is no need to be too pessimistic. It is not certain what will happen. Nanjing is not satisfied with Dongzhou's chessboard. If he is too greedy, he will easily lose his troops. After all, my family never plays chess. , and compared to the degree of greed, he doesn’t see enough of Nanjing. Who doesn’t have a few people who can enjoy the scenery from the tenth floor, don’t you think so?”

Gu Shouzhi's eyelids twitched: "...?"

…

Guandaoting Station.

The group got on the carriage and continued driving in the direction of Fengjiang City.

In the car, several people were chatting and laughing.

Li Can reached out to lift the curtains of the carriage and looked outside.

After passing Guandao Pavilion, it still looks like barren mountains and wild ridges.

"Master Lu, is this frontier really that barren land with no grass growing on it, as you said?"

Lu Qishan nodded confidently with a smile: "Sir, your Majesty never mentioned sealing borders before traveling with you?"

Li Can shook his head: "I didn't say much, I just talked about some of the current situation. It seems that there is a paradise opened here. When all the monks come here, there may be some chaos."

"Indeed." Lu Qishan smiled and nodded, then glanced at the magistrates of Tengyang County and Beiyue County who came with them.

According to the previous plan of several people, they originally wanted to unite and suppress Fengjiang.

But later they discovered that the economic circle in Fengjiang could not be suppressed at all, because they did not have any economic contacts.

Even among the few small counties closest to them, there is no important interaction.

And recent news is constantly coming out from Fengjiang City.

The most popular thing is that there are rumors that many sects' message formations may be replaced.

What replaced this turned out to be a magic weapon made by Fengjiang City, and a talisman named Tianyin Yiyi that came with the magic weapon.

After learning the news, Lu Qishan and others couldn't sit still.

You know, the transformation of the sound transmission formation is no small matter.

He wouldn't care too much if Shen Mu came up with some commercial food, but now he has directly created a sound transmission product, which has directly promoted him to the monk circle.

This cannot be left alone.

He was very confident before, but now he just can't understand what the man named Chen Mu is thinking.

Fengjiang, you haven't even done business for ordinary people yet, how can you directly make money from monks?

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

What really worries him is whether the changes in the communication array will eventually lead to the ducks in hand flying away.

The last academy in the world, Block 72. What this number and position represent is self-evident.

The Academy's positioning towards the world took its final step in Dongzhou.

Falling in Dali.

The mystery of this step may not be apparent to most people.

Let alone Lu Qishan, Emperor Dali who was currently in the Xiao Nanhe military camp might not even be able to guess it.

But the more this happens, the more you have to fight for the ownership of the position.

Before the pattern of Haoran's world changes, there must be at least one strong support.

Therefore, Lu Qishan must follow him no matter what.

Whether it's adding fuel to the fire or scheming, in short, we can't let Shen Mu take away this great opportunity.

"Sir, if you look around here, you can actually see some clues. In addition to geographical issues in the boundaries of the feudal territory, the management that has been in place over the years is also not very good. It is difficult to improve the fortune of Dali. It is said that there are outstanding people. , I’m afraid there haven’t been any scholars in decades.”

Lu Qishan began to explain. Although it was a bit deliberately belittling, it still told the truth.

On the side, Magistrate Yang Feng of Tengyang County and Nie Cheng of Beiyue County looked at each other and smiled, then nodded in approval.

Yang Feng: "Li Daru, Magistrate Lu is right. Compared with the outstanding people in the counties, there is probably no place as good as Luzhou."

Nie Cheng: "That's true. I, Beiyue County, feel ashamed, otherwise I wouldn't have given up on fighting for the academy."

Li Can listened to the introductions of several people without changing his expression.

He has no personal prejudice against Dongzhou or even the Dali Dynasty.

After all, I came here just to complete the mission of the Wendao Academy.

However, while observing the site along the way, all he heard were two voices.

One is that it is not good to seal off borders.

The other one said that border closure is very interesting.

It's so special that it feels like it has unlimited potential.

Of course, this statement must be verified.

However, judging from the current environment along the way, it seems that holding hands is more accurate.

Such a barren place.

It's really not suitable for an academy.

Um?

etc!

Li Can's eyes were stunned.

Outside the carriage is a field planted with crops.

Behind the field is the gate of Fengjiang City.

Looking further up, there is something similar to a pot lid placed on the top of a tower that is dozens of meters tall.

"What is that?"
