Chapter 95 First Snow

After the two thieves paraded the streets, they were imprisoned. These days, there was no place to be exiled, so they were allowed to eat in the prison for three years.

The prefect felt that it was wasting food. After all, there was no spare money in the yamen to support them, so he discussed it with Chen Ziqi, stabbed them with noodles, and threw them to the weapons factory to make a blacksmith.

Two people who claim to be heroes have a shaky word "thief" on their foreheads, and they can no longer be considered heroes. They wear shackles every day and work in the weapons factory, and they regret not being the first.

The prisoner did not have to pay wages, which saved a lot of expenses. Chen Ziqi was very satisfied, so he decided with the prefect that as long as he was not sentenced to the death, he would give it to him to work.

Because of this parade, Jianyang's reputation gradually spread, and more and more merchants and vendors came from all over the country to do business in Jianyang. Jianyang was originally sparsely populated, and the prefect is very rare for those who come to join him, and basically he does not refuse anyone. He just needs to write a document to change his hometown at his hometown and report it to Jianyang Mansion to become a citizen of Jianyang.

As there are more people, more people want to rent shops, and the rent of shops increases.

A new dim sum seller came next to the braised food store and asked him about the situation here in a low voice, "Brother, how much does your shop rent cost?"

The owner of the braised food store said with a smile: "Four taels of silver cost per month, only half of it was charged in the first few months. The prince even waived my rent for one month."

The dim sum shop was full of envy, "Hey, I need six taels of silver a month! Brother, you really have the vision and moved here early."

"I am a native of Jianyang. Brother, you are already very clever. Let's take a look. The rent will increase!" The owner of the braised food store proudly shook the cloth scarf on his shoulder. Although his shop will also increase the price next year, he has really earned the benefits for the first year, so he is very proud of it.

With more people, there are more troubles, and the strength of the patrol battalion is gradually insufficient. Chen Ziqi then divided the teenagers who practiced arrows and went to the patrol battalion to work as a service. That is, the teenagers who were not selected at the time did not need them to be chores. As soldiers of the patrol battalion, they can patrol the city every day.

Chen Ziqi brought the two masters of Yingling to the arrow camp in the suburbs, with them there. In addition, these poor young men were very hardworking, and their archery skills were a thousand miles a day.

"You can get out of the army in less than three years," said the master of Yingling.

Chen Ziqi looked at the boys pulling their bows and shooting arrows, and always felt that something was missing. "When they go out, thousands of arrows will be fired at once. Can they kill a master like Diao Lie?"

The young man with Eagle-ling choked with saliva and used the Dark Cloud Message as an example. What did he say? "The Dark Cloud Message is different from ordinary people, and he can fly..."

"People with good light skills can fly." Chen Ziqi picked up a bow to play with it.

"This... I'm sorry to say that although these young men work hard, they have no internal strength, and the arrows they shoot are not invincible. After training, it's okay to shoot an ordinary martial arts man, but it's almost impossible to shoot a top master," said the young man Yingling honestly. "It's probably because when the internal strength is strong to a certain extent, the arrows can be shattered."

The reason why Ying Ling's shooting array can kill masters with a hundred years of internal strength is because Ying Ling's people are also masters. The arrows they shoot have strong internal strength and can shoot through stones.

"It's enough for the top masters, but at least you can shoot and kill ordinary masters." Chen Ziqi thought for a while. There are only a few top masters in the whole world. Chen Ziqi did not have the delusion of shooting and killing them, but at least he had to be able to defend against Diao Lie's level.

Master Yingling was a little embarrassed, "then you need poison and formation."

"Yes, that's it!" Chen Ziqi slapped his head and finally understood. He felt that something was missing just now, it was the formation! When fighting on the battlefield, it was even more necessary to set up a formation, and when practicing troops and arrows, it was even more necessary to set up a formation.

"It's easy to talk about poison, but my subordinates are not good at formations. I'm afraid they need to ask Baiyun Envoy." The people of the Eagle clan are actually more accustomed to fighting alone.

The Baiyun Envoy is Lan Jiangxue, which is not difficult. Chen Ziqi nodded with satisfaction and told everyone to train well. An archery competition will be held before the New Year. Those who win the ranking can be promoted to the head of the husband and the number of people in charge, and the monthly proportion will be improved accordingly.

Upon hearing this news, the teenagers suddenly became more motivated.

Jian Yang's condition was getting better and better. Li Yuhan and he had handed over silver notes in front of the palace, but they were just acting for the two thieves to watch. After catching the thief, Chen Ziqi went to Lushan again to finalize the business of making swords.

Amu followed his brother to Lushan. He was very interested when he listened to Chen Ziqi and Lu Xiuqi bargaining.

"I know that my master has been buying the sword from the shop in Xunyang. However, over the years, the shop has not given a penny a cheaper price, and the price is still rising year by year. Why not do this? You want to buy two first and let the shop know that someone is grabbing business, so that the shop will naturally lower the price." Chen Ziqi pushed the few swords he brought to Lu Xiuqi.

Then, Chen Ziqi talked about his two sworn brothers, "If you want to say that my two brothers are really loyal, I heard that I opened a weapon shop and decided without saying a word, and I will use mine in the future."

The implication is that the heads of other small sects know how to take care of their own business, are you still embarrassed to not buy it?

Li Yuhan, who was standing aside, said for a while, "They do value friendship."

Lu Xiuqi looked at Li Yuhan in surprise, who didn't speak much on weekdays. Even Li Yuhan said this. He couldn't say anything if he didn't buy a few more times: "Your apprentice's business is naturally something you need to take care of..."

"Thank you, Master!" Before Lu Xiuqi finished speaking, Chen Ziqi stood up and thanked him. He quickly took out the prepared sword buying document and gave it to Lu Xiuqi to take a look. He was not greedy and wanted to come over, just half of the sword needed in Lushan every year.

"..." Lucius suddenly felt deceived with the document he had written long ago.

Amu stood aside, staring at her bright eyes, unable to hide her excitement on the way back. It turned out that she could make money like this, which was really fun.

"Is it fun?" Chen Ziqi turned to look at Amu.

"It's fun!" Amu nodded vigorously.

Chen Ziqi looked at Amu, but smiled without saying a word. After returning, he handed Amu to Mr. Luo and asked Luo Yunsheng to teach him to read the account book and discuss business.

No need to read the rhythm of poetry anymore, Amu was so happy that he became much more lively.

It was winter in a blink of an eye, the weather was getting colder, and the first snow fell on Jianyang.

On the Jade Mountain, the fog in the morning had not yet dissipated. Chen Ziqi wore a thin outfit and punched the sycamore forest. The heat he exhaled turned into white mist and dissipated in the air. He quickly practiced a whole set of Dragon Suiyue, but was still trembling with coldness.

Dan Yi didn't feel anything. After practicing the basic skills, she stood under the tree with her hands behind her back to watch the snow. The light snowflakes floated down and fell on his long eyelashes, which looked very beautiful.

Chen Ziqi finished his work and vented heat in his hands. When he saw Dan Yi's red clothes, he wanted to come over. Thinking about it, he did so, jumped over and ran over, quickly stuffing his cold hands into Dan Yi's.

Inside the lace of the clothes.

The hand as cold as a stone touched his body, which made Danyi feel cold and reached out to hold Chen Ziqi into his arms, "Why is it so cold?"

"Do you think everyone has the same inner strength as you?" Chen Ziqi flattened his mouth aggrievedly. He almost froze to death when he woke up in the morning. He even insisted that he wear such a thin training suit. It is a miracle that he has not frozen until now.

Dan Yi frowned slightly, asked Linghe to bring a cloak, quickly wrapped the person in, and used his internal strength to warm him up.

Just now, his warm body suddenly turned into a stove. Chen Ziqi couldn't help but hug him tighter, greedily pressing his hot body, and even if he was covered with a cloak, he would not want to separate. Dan Yi had to hold him like two ducks tied together. The big duck drove the duckling and moved staggeringly into the pavilion.

Charcoal fires had already begun in the pavilion, and curtains were hung from the wind around, which was very warm.

"I forgot that your internal strength is cold, so I will go back and change to a warmer dress later." Dan Yi held Chen Ziqi and sat on the soft couch covered with animal skin.

"Well," Chen Ziqi took a sip of hot tea, looked at the wind and snow outside through the gaps in the wind curtain. Suddenly, he remembered that when the first snowfall came every year, the little red bird would appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you have to look for me at this time every time?"

There must be some deep meaning in this. When I didn’t know that Danyi was the little red bird before, Chen Ziqi thought that this was the rhythm of the gods and could only return to the world with the first snow. Now that I know, I can’t figure it out. Perhaps it was when it snowed, so it would be convenient for the hawks carrying the little red bird to sneak into the palace?

"Well, because... this is more elegant." Dan Yi said this after a while.

Feng Ya? Chen Ziqi choked in his throat with a mouthful of tea and immediately coughed, "Cough cough, what?"

It is not because of the limitations of divine power, nor is it difficult to walk on the road, but just for elegance! When it snows first, the gods will come by the wind, and after a thousand years, it will definitely become a good story. At that time, the young Danyi thought so, but later she got used to this time and did not change it.

"..." Chen Ziqi didn't know what to say, but a strong wind blew over, blew the thick cotton curtains, causing a burst of chill, which made him shrink into Danyi's arms. "If we separate one day, we must meet when it's the first snow."

"Why?" Danyi's heart trembled as she heard this, and she always felt that such an idea was a little sour.

"It's so elegant! That's what the book says!" Chen Ziqi said with a smile.

Danyi: "..."
