Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 179 Ancient Times (33)

From that day on, the two stayed in the mountain for a few more days. One day afterwards, they chose a good day, took out the horses and the small building, and continued their unfinished journey.

During this period, the two people's walking speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When it was slow, they would stay in one place for a month or two, and when it was fast, they would pass through two towns in a month.

During this period, the two of them randomly found a town to live in. After observing for this period of time, Li Xiangyi discovered that the emperor of this world was very good at the development of agriculture and commerce, but there were still many aspects that he failed to take care of.

For example, some people who were under the guise of reviving the previous dynasty were against the imperial court, and there were also many people from the underworld who were trying to take advantage of the situation. Because Ji Xiao had analyzed for Li Xiangyi that the emperor had powerful weapons in his hands, but he could not use them easily because the lethality was too strong, and the time it would take to recuperate would be relatively longer.

So Li Xiangyi found a town with developed transportation, but because there were many people in the underworld and their qualities were uneven, it was difficult for the government to manage them, and there was no army stationed there for a long time, and he settled down there.

After the two men entered the city that day, Li Xiangyi bought a courtyard here and settled Ji Xiao. After Banxia from Qingyun Town arrived with Dongchun and Zhiwei, Li Xiangyi felt at ease to go out with the Shao Shi Sword to experience the local world and its people.

The fugitives on the wanted list were sent to the government office, and Li Xiangyi received a considerable reward for this. Then one day later, when Li Xiangyi felt that the time was right, he signed a cooperation treaty with the person sent by the court.

Li Xiangyi helped to restrain the people in the martial arts world, and the imperial court provided him with assistance within a certain range. The first condition Li Xiangyi proposed was to establish Sigumen and purchase land as Sigumen's future base.

Originally, Li Xiangyi was not planning to establish another Sigumen, but because his martial arts skills were too high, and these people in the martial arts world who were used to a free life were unwilling to be restricted by the court, and they only recognized Li Xiangyi, and because there were too many people and it was difficult to manage, he planned to establish another Sigumen in this world.

The most important point is that Li Xiangyi decided to do it after he went back and discussed it with Ji Xiao.

That day, Li Xiangyi returned from the yamen to the place where they lived now. As soon as he entered the door, Ji Xiao found that the person who was originally sunny and cheerful had become sad after coming back. Although it was only a short moment for Li Xiangyi to adjust his mood, he was still discovered by Ji Xiao.

He felt that Li Xiangyi was like this and was very worrying, so after dinner he took Li Xiangyi to the pavilion in the corner of the yard to enjoy the cool air.

This is a relatively traditional hexagonal pavilion built in the center of the lake. However, the pavilion is surrounded by layers of gauze, and there is a bamboo curtain on the outside that can be lowered to block the rain when it rains.

On one side of the pavilion was a musical instrument table with mosquito repellent incense burning on it, and on the other side was a pear wood couch with flower branches entwined around it and a few pillows on it, and a table with fruits and snacks on it.

Moreover, in the middle of the pavilion was a night-shining pearl that Li Xiangyi had accidentally found on the grassland. The soft light under the layers of gauze made the people and objects in the pavilion look hazy, which was very attractive, especially to Li Xiangyi.

This was Li Xiangyi's favorite place, but it couldn't make him happy. Ji Xiao knew that he was in a really bad mood, so after everyone else left, Ji Xiao pulled him to sit on the side of the couch.

"Xiang Yi, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me."

"I'm not unhappy, but there's something bothering me right now, and I don't know whether I should do it or not!"

"why?"

"Because once you do it, it means responsibility, and you will not have freedom, and you will need to spend a lot of time to deal with things."

"Is this difficult for you?"

"No, it's easy for me, I just don't like management."

"So do you want to do it?"

"think."

"If you want to, then go ahead and do it. You don't have to do the management yourself. You just need to formulate a system and use people wisely. If you need help, you can tell me. For example, Banxia is good at medicine, Zhiwei is good at housework, Dongchun is good at cooking, and they also have other skills."

"Okay, I'll come to you for help when I need it."

Then, since chatting with Ji Xiao that night, Li Xiangyi started to go out early and come back late. Sometimes he would go out for several days and not come back, and sometimes he would not go out for several days.

It took three months in total for the new Sigumen to be built. The city was later renamed Qinglian City. During this period, Ji Xiao would sometimes go out alone and bring back a few children or women, all of whom she had rescued from bandits or human traffickers.

Some of them had lost their family members, some of them had their family members unwilling to claim them, and the majority of them were women. Most of them were unwilling to go to Ci'an Garden. They also heard that Li Xiangyi, who had a great reputation in the martial arts world, had recently established a sect called Sigumen.

In addition to the people of the martial arts world, there are also ordinary people who are homeless and unwilling to go to Ci'an Garden. The people there are also taught to read and practice martial arts. Even medicine, knitting, and needlework are taught by special people. There is no need to worry about personal safety, because it is said that their leader Li Xiangyi has close ties with the court. Even the rebels who had been causing chaos everywhere in the past ten years were eradicated with the help of leader Li.

So when Ji Xiao brought these people back, she would hand them over to Banxia to make arrangements, and she would not ask any more questions. In this way, the group lived in this city for more than a year.
