The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Although the Lingtian Dynasty was divided.

But in the eyes of some people, it may not be a bad thing.

The territory is matched with the national strength. In the past, the national strength was the practitioners and the countless magic weapons in the royal treasury...

Nowadays, these cannot be used easily and may even be scrapped directly.

The national strength was transformed into soldiers, horses, food, and money...

"Your Highness, do you suspect that the swordsman in white might be His Highness Chang Xiao?" asked the maid.

"Yeah." Li Tianxia nodded gently. "The swordsman in white, wandering around the world... how cool and elegant. Speaking of which, I have to thank him a lot."

The maid understood.

The princes and princesses who hold real power all have their own ways to collect money from the people.

And his master founded the "Xingmin Commercial Bank", which specializes in producing daily necessities. These were the various small items that Li Changxiao invented a long time ago to please Li Shanhe.

He made a lot of money, and many princes were jealous of him. But by the time they came to their senses and wanted to get involved in this business, it was too late.

Li Tianxia's eyes flickered slightly.

She has known that it was Li Changxiao who invented many practical little items.

He immediately sent people to collect all the information about Li Changxiao in the palace and then blocked it.

My younger brother is having a really miserable life.

No wonder he took advantage of the chaos to come back and take revenge on Concubine Zhou.

However, what interested her most was a concept proposed by Li Changxiao, namely "bow and crossbow" and "repeating crossbow".

This weapon can shoot arrows with great lethality with just a flick of the finger!

If it is equipped in large quantities in the military...

"Alas, it's a pity that he was driven out of the imperial city before he could invent it."

"Otherwise, if my Lingtian Dynasty has this powerful weapon, then the Chitian Dynasty and the Litian Dynasty are no better than this."

Li Tianxia sighed slowly.

The maid knew what to do after hearing this, "I will go and find out the whereabouts of His Highness Chang Xiao."

……

Li Changxiao was carrying five hundred taels of silver and was worried about how to spend the money.

So he made a list.

While making the list, he asked her many questions, such as when the people chasing her would arrive and when would the temporary safety last.

Zhao Qing didn't answer. She only knew that she was in the net and couldn't escape.

However, for a short time, it is absolutely safe, as it involves some of her secrets.

Seeing this, Li Changxiao changed the direction of his question.

I started by asking her: Would she like to go to a brothel? Did she like opera? Was she interested in the Ten Great Elegant Things? Had she heard of the famous mountain twenty miles away?

Zhao Qing naturally said he had no objection.

Li Changxiao laughed and patted the silver on his body, saying that he had to spend so much silver to feel comfortable.

The two men knew that they could not go to Qingxiu City, so they spent twenty taels of silver to buy two horses.

In addition, the saddle, horseshoes, saddle rope and other items cost another twenty taels.

The two men rode their horses to a large city nearby.

The young man in white and the tall and handsome horse, as the saying goes, clothes make the man and the saddle makes the horse, Li Changxiao no longer looks like a down-and-out drunken swordsman, but a handsome young man who is traveling far away.

Even Zhao Qing commented that Li Changxiao is actually not bad looking, no wonder...

She stopped talking after that. When Li Changxiao asked her what the wonder was, she simply turned her head away and did not answer.

The two entered the brothel.

When Zhao Qing got off the horse, his eyes were wide open. He looked at Li Changxiao in disbelief and asked him, "Is a brothel such a place? Why did you bring me here?"

Li Changxiao just laughed and replied, "It's something that can be appreciated by both the elite and the masses."

Immediately, he spent a huge sum of money to invite the courtesan to sing a little song for the two of them.

Zhao Qing, who was in the midst of romance, felt that the things in the world were truly wonderful and that he would one day enter this world of romance.

After leaving the brothel, Li Changxiao went to the most expensive restaurant in the area.

It is a four-story attic.

The dishes we ordered were also the most expensive, and there was a troupe performing on the side.

At night, the market was very lively. In the past, Li Changxiao never dared to set foot here because his money did not allow it. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to come here to take a look.

The whole street was bustling with activity and the sounds of hawking could be heard constantly.

Maybe it was the smell of fireworks that infected me.

Zhao Qing also completely put behind his mind the lofty, illusory, tangible but inexpressible avenue. Since he had decided to forget it temporarily, he had to forget it completely, at least during this period of time.

Then she discovered many interesting things.

The old man who made the sugar figures had superb skills and he made a lifelike sugar figure in no time.

I also discovered that the sesame cakes across the street were really delicious. They were just sprinkled with a little salt and sesame oil, but they tasted delicious.

There was also a mask stall with all kinds of masks, and there were a lot of people gathered in front of the stall owner.

She pulled Li Changxiao over to watch.

It turned out that the stall owner was wearing a mask and telling a story about a fairy descending to earth. After he finished the story, a bunch of people rushed to buy the masks.

The stall owner's business was booming and he couldn't open his eyes without laughing. In his joy, he told everyone a story about the love, hatred and vengeance between chivalrous knights in the martial arts world.

"I want that."

At the end of the story, she actually pulled on the corner of Li Changxiao's clothes, pointed at the masks on the stall, and asked for help.

This time, it was Li Changxiao's turn to be stunned.

Then he smiled knowingly and bought himself a pair.

It is said that today is the Mask Festival. Many people on the streets are wearing masks. No wonder it is so lively.

Zhao Qing wore a mask and looked at the natural painting that was like a slowly unfolding scroll, reflecting the full moon, lights, all living beings, and even the winding river path that broke his own path.

I appreciated the scenery that I had never noticed before.

The face under the mask revealed a deep smile.

It seems that there is not only the Tao between heaven and earth.

Sometimes, if you forget the big picture, you can see more and more things.

Li Changxiao found a place to sit down by the river and felt sleepy, but Zhao Qing was full of energy. Zhao Qing asked him for one or two taels of silver.

Li Changxiao waved his hand and gave him two taels of silver, then said that he would sleep here for a while, and asked him to come back to find him after he finished shopping.

After saying that, Li Changxiao fell into a deep sleep beside the river.

Two taels of silver has extremely high purchasing power in today's world, and is enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for two months.

It can be said that it is impossible to spend all of it in one night.

Passersby noticed this scene and started talking about it in low voices.

I don’t understand what this man in white is thinking.

With such a beautiful female companion by her side, if it were me, I would accompany her to the end even if I had a lame leg.

What a good thing this guy is, he just lies here and sleeps, letting that beautiful woman go out and play by herself?

See this.

The minds of the pedestrians began to become active.

Some people followed Zhao Qing and wanted to strike up a conversation.

Some people's eyes flickered slightly, and their gazes were fixed on the cloth bag on Li Changxiao's back.

There must be a lot of silver in it.

However, no one dared to take action for a long time, waiting for the white-robed swordsman to sleep more soundly.

"Ugh."

The Jade Rakshasa in the soul bead sighed.

It seems that the master's money has to be guarded by me again.
