I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

-

Shi Hao left the pavilion and walked under the moon.

Although Gong Muhong and Chuan Daoren tried their best to persuade him to stay, he decided to stay another day tomorrow and leave Bashan the next day.

When they came to the back garden, they saw Yue Ya'er hugging Du Yuejiao's arm, talking and laughing there.

Shi Hao walked over and smiled at Yue Ya'er: "It's really thanks to your help this time, otherwise, we wouldn't have solved it so easily last night."

Yue Ya'er waved her hands: "It's nothing! It's nothing!"

Let go of Du Yuejiao's hand: "It's good if I can help you! Well, I'm leaving too."

Shi Hao was stunned and said, "Leave so soon?"

Yue Ya'er smiled and said: "I have to bring these people back. Someone told me that it is enough to help. Don't stay here. If you stay for a long time, you will be suspicious."

Shi Hao couldn't help but nodded secretly... This doubt is actually not wrong.

When Du Yuejiao heard that Yue Ya'er was going to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, and put her arms around Yue Ya'er's arm to try to keep her.

Yue Ya'er inexplicably has a desire to "since you sincerely want to keep me, then I will stay mercifully".

She wanted to see what kind of expression Du Yuejiao would have.

Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao sent her out of the villa together, and went outside.

The people brought by Yue Yue'er were already waiting for her neatly in the open space.

"I'm leaving, don't miss me too much!" Yue Yue'er rode on a Ying Zhao, shaking the rein.

Yingzhao turned around and flew up with wings fluttering. Behind her, the team just followed her.

"Unexpectedly, she really left like this!" Du Yuejiao looked regretful, "I still want to chat with her for a few more days."

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Really?"

The past few days have been quite busy, and last night was even more dangerous, and now I finally really relax.

The two wandered outside for a while, and when they returned to their residence, Shi Hao picked up Yue Jiao by the waist, and entered his room.

—Ye Chunxiao, on the second morning, the two were still hugging and sleeping soundly when there was a knock on the door outside.

Du Yuejiao rubbed her eyes, and got up from Shi Hao's chest in a daze: "It's so early in the morning, who is it?"

The people outside had good ears, and upon hearing her complaints, they laughed and said, "It's me!" Du Yuejiao muttered, "What does she want to come to see you so early in the morning?

Xu Xiaoyan shouted outside: "By the way, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

bid farewell?Shi Hao glanced at the door in astonishment.

Shi Hao hurriedly put on his clothes, came to the door, opened the door, and immediately saw Xu Xiaoyan standing there wearing a flowered sarong.

Xu Xiaoyan was much smaller than him, she raised her head, looked at Shi Hao, and said with a grin:

"Actually, I'm just telling you, I'm leaving!"

Shi Hao couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

Xu Xiaoyan said: "Jiangsu!"

Shi Hao looked at her suspiciously: "Why so suddenly?"

Xu Xiaoyan waved his hand: "Actually, it wasn't sudden. I wanted to leave a long time ago, but I'm needed here, so it's not good for me to just leave. That's why I stayed until now."

"The things here are over now, and I don't want to stay here anymore. I am 'Ye Lily' from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I don't want to stay in this kind of place. It's getting colder and colder in the north, and I'm not used to it."

Shi Hao said: "Actually, I plan to leave tomorrow, how about we go together?"

At this moment, Du Yuejiao came walking behind him, she tightened her chest beside Shi Hao, tied her waist, and said softly: "Yes, wouldn't it be better to walk together tomorrow?"

Xu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Actually, I have some personal matters, so I don't want to stay here any longer."

Shi Hao looked at the burden she was carrying on her back, knowing that she had made up her mind, and she couldn't help it for a while.

So he said, "Then I'll give you a ride!"

Du Yuejiao said: "Well, we will give you a ride."

Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao sent Xu Xiaoyan out of the villa, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"That's right! Return this sword to you!" Xu Xiaoyan pulled out the plain sword from his waist and handed it back to him.

Shi Hao shook his head: "Actually, you are more suitable for it, so you can take it with you."

Xu Xiaoyan said: "No need, it's yours in the first place, I'd better give it back to you!" and stuffed it into his hand.

Shi Hao smiled, grabbed her hand, and put the plain sword back into her palm, saying: "Although it was originally mine, I will give it to you now."

"That's it!" Xu Xiaoyan didn't refuse any more, and inserted the plain sword back into his waist.

Turning around, he said, "I'm leaving!" Stepping out of the mountain.

Shi Hao was behind her, watching her silently, without speaking.

Du Yuejiao turned her head and looked at him, looking at his silent expression.

Xu Xiaoyan's sudden departure made Du Yuejiao feel more at ease.

Although she and Shi Hao already had a closer relationship, she knew in her heart that in the beginning, he approached her only for the God Sealing Stone.

Afterwards, many things happened, and the two of them went through a lot before they reached this point.

But deep down in her heart, she faintly felt that her senior teacher liked Xu Xiaoyan more than her.

Even Yue Yue'er couldn't put such a lot of pressure on her.

Xu Xiaoyan's departure reassured her that even in peaceful times, two people living far and wide may not have many chances to meet each other.

But now there is chaos everywhere, this separation is likely to be a farewell.

Although she felt relieved, at this time she wisely did not speak, just quietly guarding his side.

Shi Hao called Hou Bomin, Xianggu, and He Guangtao together.

After all, at the very beginning, he brought them into Bashan together.

He glanced at Hou Bomin, wanting to ask him if he knew why Xiaoyan left suddenly.

Xiaoyan left too suddenly, he always felt that there must be some reason behind it.

Hou Bomin may know the inside story.

But he didn't ask, because Xiaoyan didn't tell him.

He told them what he was going to leave.

To them, he said what was in his heart: "Although Xiong Wanghu and Li Daitao were stiff and accepted the power and territory of the Hanyang Gang in fact, we fell short. But our main purpose of coming here has been accomplished."

"Bashan's terrain stretches, and Bashan's Jiuzhaigou is self-contained. Xiong Wanghu's development will be greatly restricted. In particular, his strategy of going south and echoing Sheng Menghui will be completely interrupted."

"Whether it is going north or east, if Danyang wants to develop, it will inevitably encounter strong enemies. If it goes west, because it has not been able to obtain Bashan, if it wants to "close the doors and households" of Western Shu into its own scope, it will not be possible. Purely delusional."

"But at the same time, this also makes it difficult for us to do more if we stay here. I originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to defeat the Hanyang Gang, and then use Bashan as the backing to develop along the Hanshui River. But now we have no reason to go To deal with the Danyang Society. Forcibly attack, even the Bashan Jiuzhai people will not support it."

"We've accomplished our mission here, but we can't go any further, although that's something we can't help."

After a pause, he continued: "However, this also made me realize the importance of reputation. I have exhausted my tongue and my mind, and just now united Bashan Jiuzhai. Xiong Wanghu only needs to use the name of 'Tiger Holding Swordsman' No., there are countless righteous men in the rivers and lakes looking for refuge."

"Strength and prestige, these are the two essential foundations for doing great things in troubled times. Although the results of our visit to Bashan were not satisfactory, this period of time has indeed helped us lay the foundation of prestige, at least, Bashanhanshui, everyone began to know that my teacher is heavy cloud."

He looked around, looked at them, and asked, "Now what I want to know is, are you still willing to follow me?"

Hou Bomin laughed and said, "Anyway, I, a little old man, don't have many places to go."

Shiitake nodded slightly.

He Guangtao resolutely said: "If you are not here, Mr. Master, Bashan Jiuzhai will never be able to restore peace so quickly. But Mr. Master has ordered, I will definitely go through fire and water."

Shi Hao said: "Thank you!"

Looking at He Guangtao: "I hope you will continue to stay in Bashan. The location of Bashan is very important. Although it is difficult to develop itself, it also blocks Xishu and Guanzhong, and also blocks the Han River and Xiang River.

"As this chaotic world is about to break out, I hope that someone can stay here and exert influence on Bashan Jiuzhai. When necessary, it may be of great use."

He Guangtao nodded: "I understand!"

Shi Hao looked at Hou Bomin and Xianggu again, and said, "As for the two of you, just go about your own business at the moment. Personal strength is sometimes more important than anything else. I plan to look for the next-level fairy material first."

Hou Bomin nodded: "If you can enter the fifth rank, it will be easier to be valued by people in the Jianghu. I don't know what other immortal talents you need? If you don't mind, you might as well tell me that I have some connections in the heresy."

Shi Hao said with a headache: "The Magic Sea Mushroom shouldn't be a big problem. There are still three Huaimeng grasses and one Biluo vermilion fruit that are missing. The most troublesome thing at present is the Biluo vermilion fruit. I don't know where to find it."

"I know!" Shiitake, who hadn't said much, rubbed his hands suddenly, looking a little excited, "I know where it is!"

Chapter 167

"You know?" Shi Hao looked at Shiitake in astonishment.

He didn't expect that someone really knew where to find this fairy material.

Even Fairy Shengxuan could only give an alternative plan. From this, it can be seen that this fairy material has become a scarce commodity 300 years ago.

Although a plan for refining one hundred catties of vermilion fruit was given, it is reasonable to say that it would be a very headache to obtain one hundred catties of vermilion fruit.

There are so many vermilion fruits that can't be found in ordinary places, so it's almost enough to go directly to the main base of Chongxianmen to grab them.

"Hmm!" Shiitake rubbed his hands, "I know where it is, and I can take you there."

Du Yuejiao couldn't help asking: "Where is it?"

Mushroom said: "Pull the Xiantai!"

Shi Hao said: "Pull the Xiantai?"

Hou Bomin was beside him and said: "That is the highest point of Changbai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains. Although it is too high for ordinary people to climb up, there are occasional people who go there. I have never heard of any fairy materials there."

Shiitake looked at Shi Hao intently, and said with certainty: "There are!"

Shi Hao nodded: "Then let's start tomorrow and go to Changbai Mountain!"

"Yeah!" Shiitake nodded vigorously, looking a little excited.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Shi Hao couldn't help asking again.

Shiitake panicked and shook his head vigorously: "No, no!"

Shi Hao and the others: "..." I always feel a little uneasy.

While speaking, someone reported outside: "Young Master, there is a person from Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce who wants to see you, Young Master."

When Shi Hao came to the side hall, he saw only one person sitting there. It was Deng Liang who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Brother Hao, it really is you!" Deng Liang ran over and said with a smile, "They were all talking about Shi Chongyun on Bashan Mountain, at that time I was thinking that maybe it was you, Brother Hao, but I didn't expect it to be. "

Shi Hao couldn't help laughing, "Why did you come here?"

Deng Liangdao: "A few days ago, the Hanyang Gang cut off the Han River, which had a great impact on our business. Now that the Hanyang Gang has disintegrated, Danyang will reopen the business road. I will also come to see if there is any better business with Bashan Jiuzhai can do."

He sighed: "Although I knew Brother Hao that you are powerful, I didn't expect you to be so good. I heard that Brother Hao, you have already reached the sixth rank? When you were in Jinjun last time, you were still at the eighth rank. How long has it been?"

Shi Hao said: "It's just a fluke!"

The two sat down, Shi Hao said: "You came just in time, the Wuzhai in the Bashan Nine Villages is going to start to turn to brocade weaving, and I will ask you to help me sell more."

Deng Liangdao: "This is definitely not a problem! Now that prices are chaotic in various places, the imperial court has begun to shoddy copper coins in order to raise military expenses. That's fine. The key is that the 'Zhizhengbao Banknotes' produced now are forcibly equal to gold and silver coins. , the government refused to pay, and prices everywhere began to rise wildly.”

"Many people have broken copper coins, holding a pile of newly issued 'treasure banknotes', and some places have reached the point of bartering. Silk is a hard currency, and we dare to accept as much as they can make. "

Shi Hao shook his head and said: "At the end of the day, this is a disguised search for the people. The government takes the banknotes to buy things from the people. The people don't sell them. The banknotes held by the people can't even be used to pay taxes to the government. They have to get them Two copper plates of silver."

Deng Liang sighed: "Who says it is not? Not to mention the common people, even those of us who are in business are also suffering. Everyone is saying that if the imperial court does not perish, it is simply unreasonable. In fact, don't talk about us, except for those who use to issue 'treasure banknotes' 'Besides the wealthy families, other 'royal families' are also swearing."

"Their life is not easy now. This is our Xishu, and other places have long been in chaos."

Immediately afterwards, he leaned over to Shi Hao and lowered his voice: "Brother Hao, are you planning to develop in Bashan? I told my father that if Brother Hao grows here, our chamber of commerce will definitely support you. Needless to say, paying for money and food, even if it is a weapon, if we don’t do this ourselves, it’s not like there is no way.”

Shi Hao smiled and said, "It's hard for you to think highly of me, but I'm leaving tomorrow."

Deng Liang was greatly disappointed: "Brother Hao, you have worked so hard to help them defend their territory, and you are leaving now? What are you planning?"

Shi Hao said: "Fame!"

Deng Liang asked doubtfully, "Fame?"

Shi Hao said: "Bashan and Hanshui are one family. Now that Bashan is forming a regiment, Hanshui is controlled by the Danyang Society. While both sides are developing, in fact, neither side can develop."
