The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Shen Li set off.

He led his personal guards to capture the Thief Saint.

As for Jia Daoshi, after glancing at the azure sky and the trees sprouting tender green buds, he returned to his life on his manor.

Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the martial world and the imperial court, where can one find the carefree joy of living in one's own manor?

Practicing gymnastics with my wives and then cultivating the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill—that's real life!

After obtaining the second volume of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, Jia Daoshi indeed became much more serious about his practice.

After giving some pointers on the training of his manor guards in the morning, he spent the rest of the day cultivating, honing his sniper rifle, reading some classic texts of this era, and trying to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

As for the evening, then experience the wonder of the harmony between yin and yang.

Although his wives had also made considerable progress in their cultivation, the combined strength of the three of them was still no match for Jia Daoshi.

The bed sheets must be changed every morning.

The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill seemed to provide Jia Daoshi with inexhaustible energy!

This morning.

Jia Daoshi sat cross-legged by the small river behind the manor.

True Qi circulates throughout the body.

Streams of true energy, like rushing river water, flowed ceaselessly through the eight extraordinary meridians in his body!

The spiritual energy of this world is much more abundant than in my previous life!

"boom!"

"boom!"

The powerful true energy circulated continuously within his body, and an invisible energy shield faintly appeared around Jia Daoshi's body.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The grass, trees, and branches around Jia Daoshi's body were almost all reduced to dust after coming into contact with the aura emanating from Jia Daoshi's body!

This scene is just like Xiong Ba unleashing the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi!

Even Jia Daoshi himself didn't know that his protective aura was so strong.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi, who was immersed in cultivation, felt that the last bit of heat in his body was also completely devoured by this true energy!

That fiery energy is the residual medicinal power of the Blood Bodhi Pill in the body!

Then, he felt that he seemed to be making another breakthrough.

However, this impulse to break through quickly receded like the tide when it came to the final step.

"call!"

Jia Daoshi let out a long breath.

"It seems that breaking through from the early stage of the Freedom Realm to the middle stage is not as simple as I imagined."

Jia Daoshi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the ceaselessly flowing river in front of him, and sighed.

Speaking of which, the state of being at ease is itself quite wondrous.

He could clearly sense everything around him, the breathing of all the creatures around him, the rhythm of life.

This feeling is so magical that it's hard to describe in words.

After standing up, Jia Daoshi looked at the smoke rising slowly from the manor behind him and at the sunset glow, knowing that another day had passed.

Life on the manor was peaceful, and the Sun Moon Cult did not cause any more trouble.

No one from the imperial court came either.

Mixue Ice Cream generates substantial revenue every day.

In the evenings, he also has a beautiful wife to keep him company.

Life is like this, what more can I ask for?

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Jia Daoshi brought some flowers from outside and was hoeing the soil in the garden.

A pair of slender little hands hugged his waist from behind: "My lord, what's so great about planting flowers? Come and plant strawberries with me!"

This little girl is stirring things up again.

After their passionate encounter, Yi Qianxiao suddenly said, "My lord, it seems that A-Li has been in Jiangnan for about ten days. Since she arrived in Jiangnan, we have completely lost contact with her."

"With her skills, she shouldn't encounter any problems, right?" Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

Shen Li herself was at the late stage of the Vajra Realm, and she had expert guards in the army. With the added advantage of the Zhenbei King's aura, basically no one dared to make a move against her.

Unless, of course, you encounter one of those unruly and powerful masters in the martial arts world.

Ordinary people in the martial arts world simply don't have the ability to cause trouble for Shen Li.

Ten days passed quickly.

"It's done."

After a month of meticulous work, the sniper rifle is finally complete.

Next, it was time to make bullets and gunpowder.

This is another question.

After all, bullets are not like ordinary swords or spare parts.

"My lord, I just received a message from the hawk messenger of the Xuanhua ship's Jiangnan branch, but there is still no news of A-Li."

Yi Qianxiao entered the blacksmith's workshop.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Jia Daoshi was also somewhat surprised.

"Has something really happened?"

It's been almost a month; by now, there should be a reply, right?

"So it seems we haven't heard from the Imperial City Guard for quite some time. Could they really be in trouble?"

“Let’s go, let’s go to Moon City and take a look. That’s her fiefdom, and her senior sister Lan Biyin is still stationed there. I’ll go check on the situation,” Jia Daoshi said, standing up.

Military units typically have their own communication methods. If they don't have news of Shen Li, her headquarters might.

“Then I’ll go with you,” Yi Qianxiao said immediately.

“No need. This time, you and Qinglin should stay in the manor. The martial world is in turmoil, and I feel more at ease if you stay here.” This time, Jia Daoshi did not agree to Yi Qianxiao coming along.

Because he vaguely sensed that there might be some hidden crisis behind this matter.

"My lord, is it not even okay to go to Yuecheng? At most, I won't go to Jiangnan with you?" Yi Qianxiao pouted.

"Since you're so eager to go, then let's set off on the Potoshichiro."

Jia Daoshi nodded.

……

The speed of the mechanical beast, Shichiro, is absolutely top-notch.

Once it gets going, it's much faster than a Ferghana horse.

Because even the finest horses eventually tire, while mechanical beasts never do.

Moon City.

Sure enough, the Zhenbei Legion had its own dedicated intelligence team.

In the main palace of Yuecheng City.

Jia Daoshi went directly to Lan Biyin.

“Brother-in-law, you’ve come at the perfect time! I was just about to send someone to look for you! Ah Li hasn’t sent any news for several days.” Lan Biyin looked at Jia Daoshi as if she had found a pillar of support in a moment of panic.

The way he called him "brother-in-law" sounded so natural...

Jia Daoshi was speechless, but at this point, he couldn't be bothered to argue about it anymore.

After all, he couldn't explain what happened in the city lord's mansion even if he had a hundred mouths.

As for Yi Qianxiao, Lan Biyin already knew her, so she wasn't too surprised to see Yi Qianxiao and Jia Daoshi coming together.

As Lan Biyin spoke, she took out a booklet from the shelf where intelligence was placed.

Military intelligence was mostly recorded in the form of booklets.

Jia Daoshi took it and flipped through it.

Yi Qianxiao also came over.

The booklet contained only a few dozen pieces of information.
