Please follow the script of cultivating immortals

Chapter 143 Tomb

Seeing Jiang Li sitting here, the city lord knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her, so he asked the yamen servant.

"What's up with her?"

"She just asked me about the old man across from me, so I told her, and she went over and killed the old man."

The officer said tremblingly, he didn't know what the situation was.

He Qingguang asked the Yamen servant again.

"What's going on with that old man?"

"Some time ago, he went crazy in the city and beat and scolded others. He also kept saying that he was an immortal cultivator and how powerful he was. He said that if one of the three disciples he taught was willing to sacrifice, he would be able to become an immortal. That's it. Then we arrested him, he had no identity, he was just a lunatic, and he was imprisoned for half a year. That's what I just told her."

The yamen officer repeated what he had just said to Jiang Li.

Wu Xiaoman had already gone to ask Jiang Li at this time.

"What are you doing? We were just thinking about how to save you, and now you kill someone again?"

"That old man is the master of the big family. I just asked a few questions to make sure."

"Then why do you want to kill him?"

"I promised the eldest brother, the eldest brother, that I would kill their master when I have time."

Jiang Li said it as if it was something as ordinary as eating.

Killing such a scumbag didn't have any psychological burden on her at all.

The three people next to him were extremely depressed. They didn't expect Jiang Li to be so reckless and kill people in front of the city lord.

At this time, the Yamen servant went over and said to the city lord.

"Sir, there is an old madman inside. He just committed suicide in the cell. Madman, no one knows why."

"...Since it's suicide, hurry up and register it. Remember, the old madman broke the cage before."

This matter was covered up by both the city lord and the government officials.

He Qingguang took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, wrapped them in cloth, and handed them to the yamen servant.

"Take this piece of cloth to wipe the blood."

"Thank you, Boss He."

The yamen servant happily took it, which was why He Qingguang rewarded this clever yamen servant.

Naturally, he couldn't keep the money for himself. There was more than one government official outside. Two hundred taels per person, enough to keep your mouth shut.

He Qingguang bowed his hand to the city lord again.

"City Lord, please be more considerate."

Although there is no money directly in the hands of the city lord, there will naturally be many benefits in the future.

The city lord looked at Jiang Li, shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you have to come to Fuhu City?"

"...If I said that I was passing by on the way to Suzhou, would you believe it?"

Jiang Li said it very sincerely.

She originally planned to go to Suzhou City to meet those dandies and eat and drink for a few days, but she only stayed after meeting Wu Xiaoman on the way.

The city lord was so blocked that he couldn't say a word, so he was ready to leave. He Qingguang and Wu Xiaoman also wanted to leave, but were stopped by Jiang Li.

"I have something to tell you two."

The city lord looked at it and asked the yamen servant to lock the door later and let the three people chat.

Jiang Li took out two more stools from the storage space and asked them to sit down.

"It was my old habit to keep a few stools and this complete set of equipment to feel at ease."

After everyone sat down, He Qingguang asked Jiang Li again.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

"What happened cannot be solved by you, nor can I solve it. If I tell you, you will be involved. I have seen through it now. The fewer people involved, the better."

"What's that going to say?"

Wu Xiaoman asked, and Jiang Li said seriously.

"I figure I will be locked up for a while no matter what happens this time. There is no way I will be released just like that. If I can take out such a weapon, is it possible that the emperor will keep me? Impossible."

"Then do you want to escape from prison?"

Jiang Li listened to Wu Xiaoman's cautious question and glanced at the yamen servant, who turned his head away.

She smiled and said to the two people again.

"I don't plan to go to jail. It might be better in jail. But if I go in, people who know me outside may get into chaos. Please help me and comfort them. The last thing I want now is for them to get into chaos because of me. ”

Jiang Li now has some people who are sure to cause trouble for him in this situation. She was very happy.

Then, she assigned tasks to two people.

"Wu Xiaoman, first go and inform the three dudes living in Tongfu Inn, then go to Jiangnan to inform the people in Prince Mu's Mansion, and then inform everyone in Niutoushan."

"Isn't that a bandit?"

He Qingguang was a little surprised after hearing about Niutoushan. Prince Mu's Mansion was not that surprised to him.

Wu Xiaoman nodded, and Jiang Li said to He Qingguang.

"You help me inform your brother, and ask your brother to tell the other three people. After all, they have to know about such a big thing on my side, or else I won't tell them in the future."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Li said to the two people again.

"Remember one thing. Tell them that with my ability, nothing will happen to me in prison. I don't want to die and no one can kill me. They know it very well. Then talk about me and my attitude. They I have a rough idea of what the situation might be. No, there seem to be a few more that I don’t know about..."

For example, the three dandies and Prince Mu's Mansion.

He Qingguang was a little dissatisfied.

"Can't you tell us what it is? Do you want us to tell others so that they can guess?"

He Qingguang has been pursuing Jiang Li for a long time, but at this point, Jiang Li still doesn't trust him, which makes him very dissatisfied.

Jiang Li looked at He Qingguang, then at Wu Xiaoman, and then sighed.

"We are not the same person. I am a person who will cause a lot of trouble. Only people who don't want to live a good life can know about my things. You two should have a better life, not because of those things that can't be solved because of me. Worried about the trouble."

"...Why do you think I just want a stable life?"

He Qingguang said to Jiang Li in a sentence pattern that Jiang Li might use, but Jiang Li smiled contemptuously.

"Can you run away from home with money like He Qingfeng did?"

He Qingguang did not answer.

Jiang Li waved his hand, indicating that both of them could leave.

After that, the city began to pay attention to this matter.

But for grain merchants, what they care more about is the price of those grains. Food prices are about to plummet.

Liu Kangan had no intention of focusing on that now, but Wu Xiaoman listened to what Jiang Li said and went to collect all their grain at three times the original price.

This is all the money they have now, but even so, Qingfeng Grain Store still makes some money.

At the very least, all the business of Liu's Grain Store belongs to them.

A few days later, Liu Kang'an also realized the possibility that Jiang Li really didn't seem to kill his father, but the facts were there. One morning, he left without saying goodbye and took the remaining money after paying back the underground bank.

Where have you gone? The servants of the Liu family don’t know either. So Wu Xiaoman also accepted all the servants of the Liu family.

The only person selling food in the city became Wu Xiaoman.

After Jiang Li found out about this, he only said one thing to Wu Xiaoman.

"Don't become the second Liu family."

"I won't let the military advisor down." That day was also Jiang Li's last day in Fuhu City.

Because of the weapons Jiang Li provided in this war, Northern Zhao won the war, and she was not sentenced to death. But as Jiang Li said, it was impossible for the imperial court to let Jiang Li return to his previous life.

Jiang Li was brought to the capital and had the honor to meet the emperor. If she could accept the conditions proposed by the emperor and stay in the capital to continue improving weapons, she would be able to start Jiang Li's life as an official.

But Jiang Li thought that was boring.

She has met a lot of officials in the past few months, some good and some bad, but she has to abide by a lot of rules. It may cause her career to be ruined, or she may do something less glorious for the sake of her future. matter.

Jiang Li didn't want that. If there is one thing that she has been consistent about since coming to this world, it is freedom.

Therefore, Jiang Li rejected the emperor.

The emperor's next question is also very simple.

"Will you give technology to other countries?"

Even a fool knows what the correct answer to this question is.

But Jiang Li had no sense of belonging to the Northern Zhao Kingdom. Shaked his head.

"I plan to travel around the world. If there are people in other countries who have the same appetite, I don't know."

Only Jiang Li dared to say such words that were purely seeking death.

It's just that facing this emperor who she doesn't care about, it's too tiring to think about lies. Jiang Li is a lazy person.

The furious emperor wanted to execute Jiang Li immediately, but he heard many pleas for mercy.

Six doors, Prince Mu, and the most important thing to the emperor, the general who just came back from the border to be rewarded.

"Thanks to Miss Jiang's weapons, my soldiers were able to survive. Please, the emperor, please spare her life for the sake of me."

Looking at the kneeling general, the emperor couldn't help but frown.

He had never seen anyone for whom the general begged, so why should Jiang Li?

For the general, this is also a very simple matter. Originally, he was prepared to lose most of his troops and everyone became prisoners, but because of Jiang Li's weapons, the soldiers survived a lot. This is the greatest kindness to the general, and he has to repay it.

Prince Mu is also begging the emperor.

"Although she is unwilling to hand over the weapon-making methods now, the future is long. It would be good if Your Majesty can really execute her now, but if she escapes, it will be a great danger to our country. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

The meaning of what Prince Mu said is also very simple, keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

With Jiang Li's ability, it is very easy to escape from prison. If the emperor treats Jiang Li better at this time, maybe Jiang Li will not rebel in the future.

Although Jiang Li has wanted to rebel for several months. This is one of her dreams.

Under such pleading, the emperor chose to spare Jiang Li's life, put her under house arrest, and treated her with courtesy. Whenever she was willing to make new weapons for the country, she could be released.

When Jiang Li entered the room where he was under house arrest, an idea immediately popped into his mind.

This is it for this life!

The conditions of royal house arrest are much better than the daily life of the people, and should be at the level of wealthy businessmen. And you don’t have to do any work.

You can eat whatever you want and have everything you want. Except that you can't go out, everything is perfect.

But for Jiang Li, not having to go out is truly perfect.

In the first ten days, she lay down all the time. In the second ten days, she finally moved a few times and tidied up the yard.

No one from outside could enter, and no one could talk to Jiang Li. For Jiang Li, who was used to being in contact with people, this was a difficult moment.

Sometimes she would sit in the yard and think about her previous life. She had been here less than a year, but she had already experienced a lot of things, enough for Jiang Li to recall.

But at this point, she was still not satisfied, and still wanted more stories.

When she was bored, she would tease the system, but the system's resistance was already very high and did not produce the effect Jiang Li wanted.

In this case, only one person came to Jiang Li.

Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord came over one afternoon, and Jiang Li was basking in the sun in the yard.

She looked at the Demon Lord, and then pointed to the anus over there.

"Look, don't you have one in Donglin Mountain?"

"To be exact, there is no place where I am."

The Demon Lord just looked at the chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums that were originally blooming suddenly withered.

Jiang Li sat up and looked at the Demon Lord.

"You pay."

"Are you just going to stay here?"

The Demon Lord changed the subject and did not mention the matter of compensation.

Jiang Li looked at the Demon Lord again and spread his hands.

"What? Who doesn't like the days of eating and waiting to die? I have been tired in my last life, and I have never been idle in this life. I finally have the opportunity to rest here. I feel so uncomfortable."

Seeing that the Demon Lord didn't speak, Jiang Li asked him.

"Why do I feel that you want me to cultivate immortality more than those seven elders? It's true that they can't use despicable methods like you, but the frequency of coming is not as high as yours."

"Because I would rather have a rival."

"This reason is not sufficient. I think there must be other reasons."

After Jiang Li said that, he thought for a while and then said.

"Could it be that the Demon Lord means something to you?"

As soon as this question was asked, the sky started to thunder again, and then the scene that Jiang Li had seen appeared again.

The sky seems to swallow up all things.

The Demon Lord also looked up and said to Jiang Li.

"It depends on the will of Heaven. I said, none of us will end up well."

Another sound of thunder confirmed the Demon Lord's idea.

Then the dark clouds cleared.

The Demon Lord asked Jiang Li again.

"Do you still have the Poliang Bell in your hand?"
