Chapter 857 Hanyuan Prefecture came to see the father-in-law

The wind is warm and the sun is shining, Xiaoyun is sailing, and the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven is on a continuous pipeline, welcoming teams from all directions.

Occasionally, it can be seen from the different costumes that they should come from some small worlds in the lower world, and many of them are quite unique.

For example, the people in Sizhu Dongtian are the easiest to identify, as almost all of them are dressed in emerald green silk brocade, or the people in Xiao Xitian are mostly Buddhist monks.

During this time, many counties and cities in the Kingdom of God began to become very lively.

In the carriage.

Chen Mu, Qu Senbao and others sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

On their way to the capital of the Kingdom of God this time, they actually did not use many flying techniques. According to Qu Senbao, there are still many inconvenient rules in the Kingdom of Heaven. If they don't get it right, they offend others. The rules of the territory may cause a little trouble.

Just like Qu Senbao's own county, there are actually some rules, that is, in his market, side magic weapons are not allowed to be sold. If you are caught, you will be kicked out of the market directly, and you will never be able to do it again. Enter, this is the rule of their market.

In some other counties and cities, such as Hanyuan Prefecture, which is not too far away, there is a saying that outsiders are not allowed to fly in the sky when entering the city. There are even some counties and cities or family boundaries that do not allow swords. Repair entry and so on.

In fact, these rules are understandable. Many of them are specially set based on the city lord's preferences or personal grudges.

Although many outsiders are not very adaptable to these rules, after all, this is their own place and there is no room for reasoning. Some people can easily violate these rules without knowing it and get into trouble.

Therefore, Chen Mu and the others were quite careful along the way, but with Qu Senbao and his son by his side, they would more or less be able to avoid a lot of pitfalls.

Chen Mu looked outside and passed the official road at the foot of the mountain. Then he saw that the western boundary was a very large city. The area may not be comparable to Quge Mansion, but at least it was larger than Fengjiang City. It's not just fancy, and the houses built are very unique, and some even have carved railings and jade inlays, which are very beautiful.

"This county is fine, Qu Senbao, is this the Hanyuan Mansion you are talking about?"

Chen Mu watched and asked Qu Senbao.

The two of them had become familiar with each other during these few days of travel, so they omitted those titles.

This county town is the closest to the district government office.

But even so, they still walked for many days, and Shen Mu could clearly feel at this moment that when they were about to reach the county town, Qu Senbao's son Qu Dingwen seemed to have a slightly expectant look on his face. excited.

In the spacious carriage, Qu Senbao looked at Chen Mu with a smile, and then nodded.

"That's right, this is the Hanyuan Prefecture that I told you before. Although it may not seem as big as our Quge Prefecture, don't think that this prefecture is just the ones in front of you. They occupy the back area. The land is quite big, and the area in front of us can be regarded as an area where relatively wealthy people in Hanyuan Prefecture are concentrated, and the city lord of Hanyuan Prefecture is also here."

Chen Mu nodded, having already guessed that it couldn't be as big as the one in front of him: "The house here is quite well built."

Qu Senbao: "Well, Hanyuan Mansion is different from our Quge Mansion. Maybe they don't pay special attention to trade."

Chen Mu smiled, and then looked at Qu Dingwen, who was looking across at Hanyuan Mansion.

"Young Master Qu, what is so different about this Hanyuan Prefecture that can attract you to this extent? Is there a young lady from some family who makes you feel itchy?"

As soon as these words came out, Qu Senbao and Qu Dingwen fell silent.

After a long time, Qu Dingwen was the first to speak: "To be honest, Master Shen, I have actually made a marriage agreement with the daughter of the city lord of Hanyuan Prefecture."

Chen Mu suddenly realized: "Oh, I seem to have heard you mention it before, so it's a good time to come here to meet your future wife."

Having said this, Qu Dingwen sighed: "Well, I am ashamed to say that my cultivation level was too weak before. Even if the medicine pile reached seventeen, it would still make others look down on me. Of course, I have the disciples of the city lord of Quge Mansion. No one dares to say anything about my identity.

But after all, in this world, identity and background are all external things, and only one's own strength will be recognized.

Originally, I almost broke off the engagement because the city lord of Hanyuan Mansion made a request. Only if I could reach the 18th floor would he agree to the marriage and marry Ya'er to me.

A few days ago, I almost gave up, but now it seems that I have to thank you, City Master Shen, if it weren't for your elixir, I might not have any hope of reaching this threshold in my life."

Listening to Qu Dingwen complaining, Shen Mu raised his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, with Qu Dingwen's identity, he would never expect that he would have such a problem.

Of course, even if it was an unintentional act to help him, at least Qu Dingwen has already half-stepped into the 18th floor under his own elixir. It will certainly not be difficult to stand firm on this floor in the future. .

And if you are in a hurry, you can actually take a few more 100,000-fold God-Gathering Pills in a row, and maybe you can go straight up.

Chen Mu had a general understanding. It was no wonder that Qu Dingwen was so grateful to him before.

But when he thought about it, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He always felt that he had helped Qu Dingwen this year, and then indirectly offended the city lord of Hanyuan Prefecture, right?

Obviously, judging from Qu Dingwen's intention, the city lord of Hanyuan Mansion seemed not to want to betroth his daughter to him before, probably because of Qu Senbao's sake.

So now that I have helped him, it would be a bit embarrassing if they met by chance.

Then he thought about it and looked at Qu Senbao, who was smiling, "Good guy, as expected, your uncle is waiting here. Do you want to lock yourself in his boat?"

Chen Mu said: "Qu Senbao, you are not being kind. Let me declare in advance that this matter has nothing to do with me. If you meet the city lord of Hanyuan Mansion then, don't blame me for breaking up with you. I just I bet with others, I don’t know anything about this matter between your two families."

Qu Senbao seemed to have noticed Chen Mu's concerns, and then smiled helplessly.

"Hey, don't worry, Master Shen. Our cooperation is cooperation, but we are not really tied to the same boat. I am not that shameless. This is purely a coincidence. I can solve our own affairs by myself when the time comes. of.

There is absolutely no comparison between Hanyuan Prefecture and our Quge Prefecture. If you really want to use one word to describe it, huh, this place is completely a poor country, but we are the richest and can make His daughter was married to give him face.

He wanted to develop his own county and rely on us. He had already agreed to marry my son, but he regretted it at the end. This has been delayed for almost decades.

Of course, it's because of the help you gave me the elixir before. If not, I guess this young man would have something to say again when they meet.

How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? It's a beautiful idea to want Quge Mansion to help him increase the revenue and expenditure of the county without paying any price."

At this moment, Qu Senbao had already begun to complain.

However, from a few words, Chen Mu could probably feel that this matter was probably a mess, and there would probably be quite a lot of conflicts between the two counties.

Chen Mu: "Then have you asked Qu Dingwen and the Hanyuan Mansion City Lord's daughter for their opinions?"

Qu Senbao waved his hand and said, "Nothing to ask. Besides, my son Qu Dingwen is a good match for his daughter. Not to mention the talent and beauty of the girl, she is also a tiger, leopard and jackal, so she is definitely a good match."

Chen Mu: "..."

Qibei Feng: "..."

Zhao Taiji: "..."

Zhen Shuxiang: "..."

Qu Senbao: "Anyway, this time Ding Wen is on the 18th floor. Her daughter has to get married even if she doesn't want to."

At this moment, after Qu Senbao finished speaking, the car became silent for an instant.

Chen Mu held his hands and smiled awkwardly.

"Well, you are worthy of being the lord of a city. Your words are well spoken, and your description is really novel. Are all the city lords in the upper world so talented?"

Qu Senbao smiled proudly, then looked out the window and said.

"Not really, it's mainly due to my talent, Qu Senbao. To be honest, I briefly considered pursuing the literary path, but later I gave up and finally chose the lineage of Fu Lu Dao Qi Practitioners to pursue weapon refining. and family trade.

However, it seems that if I had pursued literature wholeheartedly at that time, I would have been able to achieve the realm of literary sage and literary courage now.

Of course, I think Fu Ludao is more suitable for me. While doing business, I can also study some new things. I don’t have to worry about food and drink. It’s better than those bookworms who only know how to read every day. , they look at some big principles, they speak in a formal manner, they pay attention to one set of rules and another, and they usually curse each other more harshly than the other, but I don’t see them being of much use when I really encounter trouble.”

Qu Senbao chattered a lot and was eloquent.

After hearing this, Chen Mu and others could only laugh and say nothing.

Should I say it or not, it's a good thing that Qu Senbao chose the Tao of Talisman in the first place. If he had followed the Tao of Wen, he wouldn't have been able to tell what he would have said. Just by saying "jackals, tigers and leopards" just now, he could actually imagine it.

Speaking of literature, Chen Mu suddenly thought of Chu Lushan, Gu Shouzhi and Gu Sanyue Xinfan.

A few years ago, before the border between China and the mainland, they set out to travel far away to study.

It has been ten years now, and I don’t know if they traveled as far away as the academy of the Celestial Kingdom after leaving Qingqiu Cave.

Chen Mu thought for a while, looked at Qu Senbao again, and then asked.

"Qu Senbao, there is something I really want to ask you to help me with."

Qu Senbao was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Also, please or not, since you and I are already in a cooperative relationship, saying this seems like a heretic. If you have anything, you can just say it, as long as it's my Quge Mansion. If you can do it, I will definitely help you get it all done."

Chen Mu nodded: "When we were in the lower realm, there was also a Wen Dao Academy. Before the border, the students from my border followed their teachers to travel to the upper realm to study. So far, there has been no reply, so I think I want you to help me ask if there is any news about them in the academies in the upper world."

Qu Senbao thought for a moment, and then said: "Oh, so that's it, but there are actually many academies in the Kingdom of Heaven. If you want to find one, it won't be that fast.

Because there are not many thresholds for opening liberal arts academies in the upper world. Anyone who says he is a scholar is a monk who follows the liberal arts, so many people open private schools or large academies.

In the world outside the Kingdom of God, as long as one can delve into the knowledge in books and talk about the principles of the world, academies can be set up wherever they are, so counting all the big and small ones, there are actually too many to count.

But when it comes to the most famous academies, there are quite a few within the Kingdom of Heaven.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the Celestial Academy in the capital of the Kingdom of God.

In addition to Tianchao Academy, there is also Wenzhou Academy in Wenzhou County, which is quite famous. In addition, there is Kulai Academy in Kulai County, as well as Tianheng Academy, Kangjun Academy, Lanheng Academy, etc. And Boyazi Academy in Boya County... Um, wait a minute.

In short, these counties and cities are relatively famous and have large academies.

So if we follow the rules for literary students to study and travel far away, it would probably take them several decades to complete these academies."

When Chen Mu heard this, he sighed in his heart, as expected, the upper world and the lower world are really big.

"Can you help me look for it?"

"No problem, I will ask someone to inquire immediately, but it will definitely not be that fast. After all, the Kingdom of Heaven is so big that it will take a certain amount of time to travel through these counties and cities.

But Quge Mansion still has ferry routes and business transactions in many places. I will send a message later and ask them to look for it for you, and I will inform you of the first news."

Chen Mu nodded: "Thank you very much, Lord Qu."

Qu Senbao smiled proudly: "Hey, these are all small things. Compared with our cooperation, these are insignificant. To be honest, I have already begun to look forward to the future elixir market. Hahaha, think about it. Those awesome monks came to me and begged me to buy elixirs, and I felt so happy."
