Lord of Puluo

Qiao Yi groped the edge of the bed and sat down on it.

Nian Shangyou stepped forward quickly and said, "My lord, are you awake?"

Qiao Yi's eyes were calm and his expression was normal. He waved his hand and said, "Except Shang You, everyone else should leave."

Everyone left, and only Qiao Yi and Nian Shangyou were left in the room.

Qiao Yi ordered: "Bring some tea."

Nian Shangyou quickly brought the teacup, tested the temperature, and handed it to Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi fumbled for a while, took the teacup and took a sip.

Nian Shangyou stretched out his palm and tested it in front of Qiao Yi for a moment to make sure that Qiao Yi had no reaction.

He is blind.

Qiao Yi shook the tea and asked Nian Shangyou: "Did you see it?"

Nian Shangyou pretended to be surprised: "My Lord, what did you say you saw? I don't understand."

Qiao Yi sighed: "This matter is between you and me, and it must not be spread outside."

Nian Shangyou continued to be surprised: "What exactly is going on? I really don't know, please tell me clearly, sir."

"Stop pretending!" Qiao Yi poured the tea out, but not on middle-aged Shangyou. However, middle-aged Shangyou still wiped it off symbolically.

Qiao Yi asked: "Do you know the reason?"

He still doesn't know why he went blind.

Nian Shangyou carefully speculated: "It should be because of Li Qi's curse."

Qiao Yi shook his head and said, "I took many precautions during our previous meeting, and I definitely won't fall for his spell."

Nian Shangyou reminded: "The Lord has signed a contract with Li Qi before, and there is more than one contract. The contract may have been adjudicated."

Qiao Yi remembered that he had signed a contract with Li Banfeng. According to the agreements in the two contracts, Qiao Yi could not harm Li Banfeng.

"Is it really due to the contract?" Qiao Yi didn't quite believe it.

"My Lord, Li Qi's contract is unusual. You said this yourself."

Qiao Yi did mention this incident. Ye Shengge used the Huanhuo to attack Li Qi, and as a result, Qiao Yi's side caught fire.

"I have never seen that kind of contract before. It should be made by Honglian." Qiao Yi put down the teacup and carefully recalled the contents of the contract. "It just buried a hook. It should not be considered as harming Li Qi.

And even if it was an attack, the judgment in the contract would not be so harsh. According to what I saw at that time, Li Qi was attacked, and I wanted to suffer the same pain as him. I put a hook on him, and as long as the hook is turned on me, it will be considered a punishment. Why would you take my eyes?"

Nian Shangyou actually has some knowledge in this regard: "I have heard that sometimes the judgment of the contract is influenced by the feelings of both parties. Li Qi may feel that this hook has dealt a heavy blow to him. In extreme anger, he prompted the contract to make a severe judgment."

Qiao Yi said: "If one of the two parties violates the contract unintentionally, the judgment can be withdrawn as long as the other party clarifies it."

Nian Shangyou said quickly, "My lord, you should not believe these rumors."

Qiao Yi said angrily: "This is my personal experience, how can it be a rumor?"

Nian Shangyou lowered his head and said, "My humble crossbow is blunt, please forgive me, lord."

Qiao Yi sighed: "With the relationship between us, how can I bear to blame you? You can go to Li Qi to clarify and it will be a good deed to atone for your crime."

Nian Shangyou knew this would be the result, but he really didn't want to go to Li Qi: "My Lord, I really don't know how to clarify this. I'd better ask the doctor to treat you."

Qiao Yi looked unhappy: "I just told you that this matter must not be spread outside, but you turned a deaf ear to it?"

At the beginning, Qiao Yi claimed that he was seriously injured, which made the people of Shang State panic. Now that people's hearts have just been calmed down, if the news that he is blind spreads again, not only will Shang State be in chaos, but the peace agreement previously made by Tufang State will probably also be overturned.

Nian Shangyou still wanted to shirk his responsibility: "You asked me to find Li Qi to clarify. What if Li Qi doesn't agree?"

Qiao Yi frowned: "You have followed me for so many years, but you can't even negotiate business? He has made an offer, you take it first, and come back to discuss whether it is okay or not."

Nian Shangyou took a speedboat and rushed all the way to Wubian City.

Luo Lijun was very respectful to Nian Shangyou and quickly asked someone to pass the message. Nian Shangyou was still thinking about what to say to Li Qi when he met him, but it turned out that he was worrying too much. Li Qi did not see him, and it was Luo Shaojun who came to see him.

Luo Shaojun's attitude towards Nian Shangyou was very different: "Seventh Brother doesn't want to see you, please come back another day."

Nian Shangyou said, "I do have something important to discuss with the prince. Please let me know."

No matter how Luo Shaojun urged him to hurry, Nian Shangyou was waiting at the door and refused to leave.

Li Qi spoke in the house: "Go back and tell your master that this traitor has no right to talk to me. He used this hook to harm me, and I must avenge him!"

Nian Shangyou said: "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation——"

"No need to say more! Young Master, help me back to my room to rest!"

Li Qi called out and Luo Shaojun hurried into the house.

Mi dang!

Nian Shangyou heard something fall in the house. It didn't seem like the person dropped it in anger, but rather it seemed like someone accidentally knocked it over.

Mi dang!

Another sound.

Nian Shangyou was puzzled and wanted to look into the room, but Luo Shaojun closed the door and had someone drive Nian Shangyou away.

After Nian Shangyou left Wubian City, Luo Shaojun asked, "Seventh Brother, what happened to you just now? Why did you knock over the teacup and teapot?"

Li Banfeng sighed, "I was so angry at him that this birdman betrayed the covenant and dared to come to me."

"Seventh brother, betrayal can be clarified. I guess Nian Shangyou is looking for you about this matter." Luo Shaojun explained the clarification to Li Banfeng.

"Really?" It was the first time that Li Banfeng heard Cheng Zhengzhi say this, "Then I guess he'll have to come again.

+

Nian Shangyou returned to Chaoge and replied to Qiao Yi: "My lord, Li Qi refused to see me."

"Why not? He doesn't even want to discuss the price? This is not like Li Qi's character."

"He said he hated us for breaking our alliance and wanted to seek revenge on us."

Qiao Yi was furious: "I just put a hook on him, and he paid me with a pair of eyes. Isn't this revenge?"

In anger, Qiao Yi knocked over the vase on the table.

Nian Shangyou was stunned for a moment, then he lifted up the vase and said, "My Lord, Li Qi was in the room at that time. I couldn't see him, but I heard that he seemed to have knocked over a lot of things."

Qiao Yiyi: "Knocked down?"

Nian Shangyou was very sure: "That sound must have been caused by collision, not falling."

Qiao Yi stood up and walked back and forth in the room with the help of Nian Shangyou.

"He's in the room and won't come out. Does he not want to see you, or can't see you?"

Nian Shangyou was also thinking about this: "I think that if Li Qi really had the upper hand, he would definitely ask for a sky-high price. Now that he doesn't even dare to ask for a price, he probably can't see me."

Qiao Yi nodded, thinking that what Nian Shangyou said made sense: "He hurt his eyes, and I hurt my eyes, which is in line with the nature of the contract.

He was murdered by someone. Who murdered him? Why did the deed put the blame on me?

Nian Shangyou asked, "My Lord, could it be because Li Qi has read the letter? Who wrote the letter to him? What did it say?"

Qiao Yi was still unsure of the identity of the letter writer and was just thinking about it when someone came to deliver a secret report.

Nian Shangyou quickly helped Qiao Yi to the table. Qiao Yi was leaning over the desk, holding a pen and seemed to be reviewing documents.

The messenger presented the secret report, but Qiao Yi did not take it. Nian Shangyou accepted it for him.

After the messenger left, Nian Shangyou presented the secret report to Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi touched the envelope, grabbed the inkstone and was about to hit Nian Shangyou on the head.

Fortunately he couldn't see it, otherwise he would have been hit.

Nian Shangyou opened the secret report and read it.

The secret report was sent by Shu Wanjuan, who told Qiao Yi that he had arrived at Daogui Ridge and that Cuitik was on high alert and did not dare to act rashly at the moment.

Qiao Yi sneered: "The ancestor of Wen Xiu, who went to Daogui Ridge to investigate, was afraid to act? Write back to him and tell him that he must find out Cui Tik's movements within three days."

Nian Shangyou quickly drafted a reply: "My Lord, do I need to go to Li Qi's place again?"

Qiao Yi shook his head and said, "I must go find him, but there is no rush. Come with me to Jiuchong City later. I need to go into the furnace."

Nian Shangyou was surprised and said, "You really want to enter the furnace!"

Qiao Yi frowned and said, "Keep your voice down! I just need to change a pair of eyes. Go make some preparations and don't let others know."

Nian Shangyou advised: "My lord, the furnace is very dangerous, you must be careful."

Qiao Yi nodded: "It's not appropriate for me to go alone, you should go with me."

Nian Shangyou wanted to slap himself, but he held back.

In fact, he knew in his heart that whether he heard this sentence or not, he had to accompany Qiao Yi.

Nian Shangyou had been tempered in the furnace more than once, so he was familiar with the route and could identify the direction once he entered the furnace.

Qiao Yi was changing his eyes, so he only needed to walk around the edge of the lotus heart, without having to drill into the hole in the lotus heart.

But this process is also very dangerous. There is a whirlwind around Lian Xin, and every step must be taken in the designated position.

Otherwise, once it enters any hole in the lotus heart, it will be hard to tell what it looks like when it comes out.

Qiao Yi held Nian Shangyou's arm tightly, sweat pouring down his face.

It was not just tension, but also pain. Lian Xin's strong wind seemed to tear his flesh apart.

Nian Shangyou reminded him, "My lord, just follow me and think only of getting a new pair of eyes. Don't think of anything else."

After walking on the lotus heart for half an hour, Qiao Yi's eyelids fluttered and his two eyeballs fell out of their sockets.

Under severe pain, Qiao Yi fell into a coma.

Nian Shangyou took Qiao Yi away from Lianxin and returned to the mansion. After lying down for a few hours, Qiao Yi opened his eyes and saw Nian Shangyou.

He saw it.

Two new eyeballs grew in his eyes. Although they were slightly smaller than the eye sockets, his vision was basically restored.

Qiao Yi was greatly inspired. He got up from the bed and said to Nian Shangyou, "Bring the important documents here. I want to review them one by one. Ask the new Minister of Works to come to see me. I want to check the progress of the altar's restoration."

"My Lord, don't rush it."

"Call all the envoys who are visiting the Tufang Kingdom. I want to question them one by one. I also need to prepare some questions and conduct an on-site test."

"My lord, please take a rest."

"No time to rest, bring the documents of several new generals, there are a few people who need further investigation"9

"My Lord," Nian Shangyou interrupted Qiao Yi again, "You should——

Qiao Yi was furious: "Do I need your advice when I do things?"

Snap!

A drop of blood fell on Qiao Yi's lapel.

Qiao Yi's vision was a little blurry.

Nian Shangyou lowered his head and said, "My lord, your eyes are bleeding."

Qiao Yi's eyes went dark, and his mood also darkened.

Inside the living room, Li Banfeng teased Honglian and asked with a smile, "Alian, have you ever seen the furnace in Neizhou?"

"I haven't seen him. Renxi is in Chaoge Jiuchong City. It's really difficult to meet him."

"But I heard that Chaoge's furnace looks exactly like you."

"Is it such a coincidence? I think it's all rumors, don't believe it."

"What if I saw it with my own eyes?" Li Banfeng really saw it with his own eyes. Banfeng was Li Banfeng after all. He witnessed the furnace blooming in the shadow of Xi Zhaofu.

Honglian thought for a moment and said, "I think someone in Neizhou has seen me and thought I am extraordinary, so he built a furnace based on my appearance.

But they didn't imitate the essence. I don't eat raw food, but I heard that the melting pots in Nevada eat everything."

Li Banfeng said: "I believe this is true. You were made by the goddess. Does the furnace have anything to do with the goddess?"

Honglian smiled: "I do have a good relationship with the goddess, but I don't know where this rumor came from, saying that I was created by the goddess. This rumor is so absurd, but people in the world actually believe it."

Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Xiaowan.

The goddess is the master of the red lotus, and the red lotus was created by the goddess. This is almost common sense in Purozhou. How could there be any variables in this matter?

Zhao Xiaowan said: "You said you are not a goddess, then who created you?

Yi Honglian's tone was slightly contemptuous: "Why do you all think I was created? When the world was first created,

It rained heavily for three years. After the rain, a pond appeared on the ground. A lotus flower grew in the pond.

That lotus is me."

Li Banfeng was very disdainful: "What do you mean by the beginning of the universe? I know the process of planet formation."

Honglian said: "I'm not talking about the planet, I'm talking about the beginning of the world in Purozhou."

Zhao Xiaowan felt that this was not true: "Were there lotus seeds when the world was first created? How could there be lotus flowers without lotus seeds?

3

Honglian opened her lotus leaves and said, "You hit the nail on the head. Without the lotus flowers, where would the lotus seeds come from? No one can tell which came first, the lotus seeds or the lotus flowers. That's why everyone calls me Xuansheng Honglian."

Li Banfeng nodded frequently after hearing this. He felt that what Honglian said made sense, but there was a question: "Alian, does your statement apply to eggs? Why are there no Xuansheng eggs?"

Honglian was angry: "I told you the truth, but you didn't believe me. You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I have never seen the furnace in Neizhou."

A picture appeared on the wall of the room. Nian Fuyan was walking back and forth in the courtyard. He came to Wubian City to find Li Qi.

Zhao Xiaowan asked, "Husband, why don't you talk to him about the price of the cup?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, I would have negotiated business with him, but this guy has to be left alone for two more days. Hong Ying asked, "Is there anything special about this guy?"

"He is not special, but his master is special. Qiao Yi just went blind, and it is not easy for him to feel bad. I have to make him feel bad for a while."

Hong Ying understood immediately: "Qi Lang's trick is good. When I first became blind, I didn't care. I just closed my eyes and took a rest. But after a few days, I couldn't stand it anymore. It was always dark. I was going crazy. I was thinking, who can help me see again? I will do anything for you.

But Qilang, please don't delay it for too long. After a while, I will get used to it and it won't be so painful. Then it will be hard to negotiate the price."

Zhao Xiaowan woke Li Banfeng up: "Husband, Neizhou has many ways to melt the furnace, maybe it can help Qiao Yi change his eyes. If Qiao Yi takes the risk, it will be more trouble than it is worth."

Li Banfeng had already thought of this step: "It's probably not difficult to replace an eye, but it won't change the lesion, and he will still be blind in the end. If he can replace his entire body, I'll consider him a man of courage."

Nian Fuyan did not see Li Qi, and returned to Chaoge. He gave Qiao Yi an idea: "My lord, why not go to the furnace again."

Qiao Yi asked, "What's the point of going to the furnace? Can you ensure that there will be no recurrence if you replace your eyes again?"

"If replacing the eyes doesn't work, I might as well replace the body!"

Qiao Yi threw the brush at Nian Fuyan, but because he couldn't see, the brush missed and splashed ink all over Nian Fuyan's face and onto a pile of documents.

No matter how angry he was, Qiao Yi still cared about government affairs. When he heard the wrong voice, Qiao Yi hurriedly asked:

Which document was defiled?"

The assistant researcher checked it over and said, "There is only one urgent document, a secret report sent by Shu Wanjuan."

Qiao Yi hadn't read the secret report yet. Nian Fuyan read it out. The main content was that Shu Wanjuan was sick and was about to leave Daoguiling.

Qiao Yi was very dissatisfied with Shu Wanjuan. He was once one of the strongest fighters in Pro Province, but he was so embarrassed in front of a sick younger generation. It was really unacceptable: "Doesn't he have the skill of heaven? He can't even resist the disease."

Nian Fuyan didn't know Shu Wanjuan was seriously injured. He felt that Shu Fangjuan's behavior was abnormal, but since Qiao Yi asked, he had to at least give an explanation: "The lesion here is invisible and intangible. Once it is infected, it may recur if it is not completely eradicated. It is reasonable that Shu Hou was tricked on Daogui Ridge."

"Lesion?" Qiao Yi seemed to understand, "Could my eyes be caused by the lesion?"

Nian Shangyan thought it was impossible: "Cui Maoke is far away in Daogui Ridge, Lu Shuichu hasn't shown up here, and you haven't been to Pro Province, how could you be infected?"

Qiao Yi whispered, "Li Qi read the letter and hurt his eyes. He implicated me through the contract.

Shan Chengjun's name was on the letter, Shu Wanjuan refused to leave Daoguiling, and the problem came from Cui Maoke? "There are thousands of mountains and rivers between us, but there is collusion here!"

There are many clues, but they cannot be connected together.

Qiao Yi asked Nian Shangyou to give Shu Wanjuan an order: "You must capture Cui Tik alive within three days!"

Shu Wanjuan hid in a private house, watching the words appear on his palm one by one.

Previously, it was planned to find out Cuitik's whereabouts within three days, but now it has become possible to capture Cuitik alive.

Phew~

The roars of the Dao Lao ghosts were heard outside the houses. They had surrounded the village.

By the time they find the house, it will be too late to say anything.

Retreat now while there is still time.

Green Water City, the main defense office.

Liao Zihui stretched out his left hand, swayed his waist to the left, smiled charmingly, and sang: "I am not afraid that the strong wind will blow away my love, love will always be there across thousands of mountains and rivers~"

His singing voice is good, his dancing posture is pretty good, the only problem is that his waist is the thickest part of his body, and it is the most built up.

While twisting his body, Liao Zihui nodded to the audience around him.

Where do the audience come from?

Liao Zihui turned around and saw Li Banfeng holding a feather duster and building bricks with him.

"Brother Li Qi, why didn't you say hello when you came? You scared me." Liao Zihui stopped dancing and straightened his clothes.

Li Banfeng was not finished yet: "Let's not stop, keep singing. You have a good figure. When you retire, I will find you a job in Xiaoyaowu. If you perform on stage, it will probably be more popular than Jiang Mengting."

"I really mean it. After I retire, I will go to Xiaoyaowu to perform every day," Liao Zihui and Li Banfeng sat down on the sofa. "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Tell me first, what are you so happy about?"

Liao Zihui said: "The peace talks between Tusi Kingdom and Shang Kingdom were successful."

Did you settle it so quickly?

"What are the conditions for peace talks with the Turkic Kingdom?"

Qiao Yi is a good businessman, and Li Banfeng knows that he will definitely make a lot of money from this hidden business.

Liao Zihui shook his head and said, "I don't know. This matter is very complicated. But no matter what the conditions are, if the war is over, the Puluo State is quiet, and the other states are quiet, how can I not be happy?"

"That's not necessarily true. If they don't fight each other anymore, why can't they free up their hands to fight Prozhou?" Li Banfeng felt that Liao Zihui and Gao Ya were also early.

"Impossible!" Liao Zihui took out four cups of tea. "These two are Shang State and Tusi State, they are next to each other. These two are Huan State and Puro State, they are next to each other.

The Tusi Kingdom has already been defeated, so it certainly doesn't have the energy to fight again.

If Shang attacked, Huan and Puro would have to fight together, while Tusi would wait for revenge in Zhabian.

Do you think Shang State dares to fight?

I think nothing will happen in the next few years. After a few years, when we retire, Prosperity is so big, I will find a place to live a stable life."

Li Banfeng did not comment. What Liao Zihui said was common sense, but it is hard to say that common sense will necessarily work.

"Brother Liao, I want you to help me find someone. Do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Kong Fang?"

Liao Zihui's smile disappeared: "Seventh Brother, you have occupied the whole underground city, that's enough, Mr. Kong Si is a master, he was controlled by the peddler, sometimes he dared not go out to work, you can't just catch him and kill him all."

Even though Liao Zihui stays in the Customs Office every day, he knows a lot about the big and small things happening in Provincia.

Li Banfeng said: "I went to see Mr. Kong Fang to negotiate peace."

"Really?" Liao Zihui didn't believe it. "Brother, I really don't know where Mr. Kong Si is. I really can't help you with this matter."

"Then do you know where Mu Yuejuan is?"

Liao Zihui hesitated for a moment. If he said he didn't know again, Li Qi would probably not leave.

He opened the bookcase, took out a row of books, and took out a scroll from the secret compartment.

"This painting was specially given to me by Mu Yuejuan. There is a 30% chance of finding Mu Yuejuan herself, a 30% chance of finding the beauty painted by Mu Yuejuan, a 30% chance of not being able to see her at all and being able to get out after turning around, and a 10% chance of being trapped in the painting and unable to get out. Take it and try your luck."

Li Banfeng took the painting and returned to Xiaoyaowu. He hung it on the wall and called Banfeng Yi out: "Go.

,

This is a meticulous landscape painting with a strong perspective and a very realistic style.

Ban Fengyi stood in front of the scroll for a moment and said, "Do you think I can find Mu Yuejuan?"

Li Banfeng was very optimistic: "If you find it, it's a win. If you can't find it, come back. Let's try a few more times. If we really can't find it, I'll go to Qiqiu City and burn down Mr. Kong Si's house."

Mr. Kong Si said that there was a cloud in the sky, which could be seen clearly in Qiqiu City. Li Banfeng used the technique of cloud palm,

I went there once with my wife.

Ban Fengyi was still a little worried: "What if I can't come back?"

"With a 10% chance, it's not that easy for you to run into it. Let's go!"

Ban Fengyi entered the scroll and came out from behind: "Go to Qiqiu City and burn the house!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to burn the house? It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Just try again."

"No need to try, I have found Mu Yuejuan, she is at Mr. Kong Si's house, above the clouds, in Chaoge Sixth City. Qiao Yi rubbed the medicine bottle on the table and asked Nian Fuyan: "Is this the Peeping Repair Powder?"

Nian Fuyou corrected him, "This can't be called peeping medicine powder. This is a guide from another state, called Peeping Agent!"

This bottle of medicine was prepared by Shangguo itself, and the private preparation was provided by Tusiguomao.

Turkey provided two kinds of dark energy guide agents. This was the negotiation condition proposed by Qiao Yi, and Turkey agreed.

Qiao Yi really didn't want to choose the Peeping Person, he wanted to become a literary cultivator and had previously learned some techniques that were similar to literary cultivator skills.

But now that their eyes are not shooting, they can't hide away forever. If they want to stabilize the government, they can only use the peeper's technique temporarily.

Qiao Yi gritted his teeth, picked up the potion and drank it.

After lying on the bed and resting for a while, Qiao Yi asked Nian Fuyan, "Is there still no response from Li Qi?"

Nian Fuyan said, "I heard from the Luo sisters that he went back to Pro Province. You know the rules of Pro Province, so it's not appropriate for us to ask about it."

"Then let Chu Shaoqiang go and ask, has Shu Wanjuan replied?"

"I just asked him, and he said there was nothing he could do."

"Tell him to return to Chaoge immediately. He must give me an explanation about what happened at Daogui Ridge!

Let the pharmacy make medicine, and the bandit-suppression camp must squeeze in training."

PS: This bandit-suppressing camp probably has a pretty good sense of combat.
