After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

The posthouse became bustling early in the morning.

There were many young boys and girls from other families traveling with us. Some were practicing martial arts outside, while others were eating breakfast with big mouthfuls.

On the table in the middle, there are various breakfasts.

Li Mo picked up a meat bun and glanced at his side.

There was only a bowl of plain porridge in front of the girl, as light as her face.

"How can this be enough for me in the morning?"

Li Mo pushed the plate of eggs over.

Ying Bing said nothing, just raised his eyes and looked.

The girl seemed a little weak, even her lips were pale, but her sickly appearance added a touch of fragility to her beauty.

But anyone who stares at this pair of beautiful eyes will probably feel guilty?

"cough."

Li Mo felt a little embarrassed.

When he thought about all the things he had done before, he felt like he was just dicking his toes on the ground.

It is only right to apologize to others.

"I'm sorry about what happened in the past. I don't expect that a few words can resolve the past. If you are still angry, then..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ying Bing peeled the eggshell and spoke lightly.

Li Mo was stunned.

He didn't see any insincerity on the girl's face.

It’s more like indifference than tolerance.

Those things don't seem to be worth taking to heart at all.

Since you never care, there is no need to be tolerant.

"Alright."

Li Mo smiled bitterly.

He has read too many novels and takes things for granted.

It has to be said that Ying Bing's reaction is more in line with the evaluation of the Divine Eye of Destiny.

People who are not surprised by praise or criticism often go further.

The same is true.

Ying Bing's cheeks moved slightly, and she no longer paid any attention to Li Mo.

She has seen countless magnificent and wonderful things.

Apart from her family, the memories of her humble days were not even a page in her life and had long been swept into some unknown corner.

In the distant memory, Li Mo had mediocre talent and barely made it into the Qingyuan Sect.

After wasting a year in the outer sect, he was expelled from the sect.

At that time, I had become the most dazzling among my peers.

Li Mo seems to have changed a little.

But, it doesn't matter.

His name will probably not be found on the ranking list of the Eastern Wilderness in the future.

They may not even be considered as passers-by in each other's lives.

She never gets distracted by irrelevant people.

Across from him, Li Mo paused slightly while eating.

[Invest successfully, invest: an egg, a bowl of porridge.]

[Rewards are being settled...]

[Congratulations to the host, reward: one thousand taels of silver.]

[One Thousand Tael Silver Note]: "Issued by Hengtong Money Bank, and accepted by all major banks."

Li Mo felt inexplicably emotional.

If only she could eat more.

Three meals a day can make you rich.

Midnight snack, I must prepare a midnight snack tonight!

.......

Two days later.

A majestic city appeared in the distance, like a giant beast lying across the sky.

Ziyang Prefecture is one of the twelve prefectures in the Eastern Wasteland, with nine counties and thirty-six districts under it. According to legend, before the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, this place was the ancient capital of the previous dynasty, and it was also a place of outstanding people and great prosperity.

Later, an unprecedented wave of beast disasters lasted for hundreds of years in the Eastern Wilderness, making its glory a thing of the past.

Until Emperor Wu ascended the throne and pacified the nine heavens and ten earths, he rewarded his meritorious officials. The first ancestor of Qingyuan Mountain, Conglong, was rewarded with the title of Ziyang for his meritorious service.

After thousands of years of governance, this place has finally recovered its vitality and regained its prosperity.

The Ziyang Prefecture City at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain was rebuilt on the ruins of the ancient monuments of the previous dynasty. A glimpse of it reveals that it is truly extraordinary.

Fifty miles beyond the city is the famous Qingyuan Mountains.

"We're finally here."

"Is this the city? It's so huge. Standing at the city gate, I feel like an ant."

"It's really lively. It's an important place in the prefecture, and it's really popular."

"The Qingyuan Sect is planning to open a new sect and recruit disciples soon, so there won't be many people."

......

There were so many convoys coming and going that the huge city gate was like a floodgate opened to release floodwaters, and the noise of carriages and horses was endless.

Looking at Qingyuan Mountain from afar, many people showed longing.

Dayu established its country through military force and ruled the world with its sects!

There is only one cloud in the sky of Ziyang Prefecture, and that is Qingyuan Sect!

The young men who came from various counties and prefectures were already extremely excited and shouting loudly.

People passing by did not show any strange expression, and it was obvious that this was no longer a strange thing to them.

"It's indeed an extraordinary scene."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

I have seen various international metropolises in my previous life, but I still can’t hide my shock when I come here.

Compared with those high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete, this magnificent ancient city with carved beams and painted buildings is obviously more spectacular.

A city that can accommodate five million people and an ancient city that can accommodate five million people are completely different concepts.

"Road pass."

The soldiers defending the city were dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons. Their silver armor gleamed in the sunlight, and they stood there like iron towers.

The butler quickly handed over the iron plate and paid a hundred coins as an entrance fee.

So the carriage was put into the city, as if stepping into another world.

Everything Li Mo saw was new, just like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

His wallet has become much fatter these past two days.

The icy girl's three meals a day cost him tens of thousands of taels of silver and even a thousand taels of gold.

But once he entered the capital city where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, Li Mo felt that he was not so rich anymore.

"Master, we are in Ziyang City, which is different from the county."

The butler drove the car and reminded quietly.

"I can't stay in the city for two days." Li Mo smiled.

Whenever my dad goes on a long trip, he has to be accompanied by the housekeeper who has raised him since he was a child. This shows how much trouble he caused in the past.

This is because they are afraid that he will have a perverse temper and cause trouble.

"Young master is right." The butler breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

This troublemaker has changed a lot recently.

He can also save some trouble.

The carriage passed over the vermilion painted bridge and passed the dense crowd of ships below.

Not only is the city larger, the residents here also look very different. There are obviously more people wearing silk and satin, and you can see all kinds of luxurious and extraordinary carriages.

For example, the one coming from the opposite direction was pulled by four red, scaly horses.

The carriage was several times larger than the one Li Mo was riding in. It was inlaid with gold and jade, and was simple and elegant.

"Cousin!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind.

It was Wang Hu. He jumped off his horse with a happy look on his face and ran to the front of the car.

A young man got off the car. He was tall and wearing a white brocade robe.

His arms are long and slender, his lower body is steady and powerful, and he walks with a gait like a dragon or a tiger.

There was a belt hanging from his waist, with two words written in iron and silver: "Inner Gate."

The inner sect of Qingyuan Sect!

Everyone looked at Wang Hu with more caution.

Even though there are many people traveling together, only a few can enter the outer gate, let alone the inner gate.

There is only one word difference between the inner and outer gates, but there is a world of difference between them. When an inner gate disciple goes to a county, even the county magistrate has to invite him respectfully.

"Xiao Hu, I guess you are almost there." The young man smiled and glanced at the crowd, his eyes lingering on Li Mo for a moment.

"You are new here and probably don't know where to start."

"There's an inn owner I'm familiar with, why don't we go there?"

The young man smiled and got on the carriage.

"My cousin is Wang Hao. He's in his early thirties and is already an inner sect disciple."

"Follow him, you will never suffer any loss."

Wang Hu raised his head, a defiant look on his face, as if he was the one entering the inner door.

Naturally, everyone complimented him.

Since you are unfamiliar with the place, following an inner disciple of Fulong Valley can save you a lot of trouble.

"What is he looking at?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

The other person was not looking at him, but the cold girl next to him.

Also.

Even after arriving in the provincial capital, Ying Bing's astonishment remained unchanged.

Her clothes were simple, but they made the women from the big city, who were dressed in silk and satin, pale in comparison.

After these few days of feeding each other, the relationship between the two of them...should have made some progress, right?

After all, we are not strangers anymore.

As thoughts raced through his mind, a restaurant by the canal appeared in front of him.

It is seven stories high and exudes a luxurious atmosphere. The scenery of this ancient city has reached its peak here.

The waiter was sharp-eyed and when he saw Wang Hao, he immediately went to call the shopkeeper over.

The shopkeeper respectfully served tea and started negotiating with Wang Hao. The others felt a little awkward.

I just saw it.

The most ordinary room here costs twenty taels of silver, and the upper rooms are even more expensive. Moreover, because Qingyuan Sect is about to open its mountain gate, there are many guests and the price has increased.

"One hundred taels for the upper room?"

Li Mo took a glance and walked straight to the counter.

There's no point in saving this little money.

"Two upper rooms, please."

He had one room and Ying Bing had one room.

The butler and his entourage had just put down their luggage and had already returned with the escort agency.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have many rooms left, so we can only have one for everyone you come with." The gentleman at the counter said apologetically.

"Alright."

Li Mo thought about it and nodded.

"Please keep it in the Qingmei room on the second floor."

Just after paying the bill and taking out the sandalwood room card, the counter gentleman heard Wang Hu sneer:

"If someone arranges for you to stay here, just enjoy it. A hundred taels of silver won't make you rich in Ziyang Mansion. Money here may not be very useful."

Li Mo: “?”

I remembered.

This guy is the son of the leader of the Liuhe Gang in the county.

My father is the county lieutenant and is in charge of the public security of the entire county.

The two generations have a father who is a rat and a father who is a cat, so naturally they dislike each other.

at the same time.

not far away.

Wang Hao also walked back to the nervous boys and girls and said apologetically:

"There are only thirteen upper rooms left. Since you are all from the same hometown as my cousin, you can stay in one of them."

"It's okay, it's okay, we can just squeeze in."

"Thank you, Brother Wang. You are such a good person."

The group was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Li Mo laughed in silence.

How can you apologize to someone with your hands behind your back and your chin up?

There are only three things that a man thinks about the most in his life.

1: Find a way to show off.

2: This girl is so beautiful.

Three: This girl is so pretty, I have to find a way to act cool in front of her.

As expected, Wang Hao then looked at Ying Bing and said:

"Miss, the room isn't quite enough. Luckily, I have a private room here. It's usually unoccupied, so it's kept fairly clean."

"If you don't mind, why don't you live there?"

The tone is quite confident.

This trick is not the first time I have used it. It always works on girls from small places like this.

Didn’t you see the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the country girls next to you?

Few people can resist the kindness shown by someone of higher status who can help their future.

"No room?"

Ying Bing glanced at the shopkeeper.

"Exactly... uh, exactly."

The shopkeeper felt a chill on his back and nodded repeatedly while wiping the sweat off his face.

Wang Hao smiled and was about to say something, but the next moment the smile froze on his face.

The girl took the sandalwood room card in front of Li Mo and went straight to the second floor, the Qingmei Room.

There was a snap.

The wooden door closed.

"Harmful."

Looking at Wang Hao, whose face turned pale and blue, Li Mo subconsciously found it funny, but couldn't laugh.

Watch for fun?

Look in the mirror!

Shaking his head, he also went upstairs.
