The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 300: Spend money like water and buy things all the way!

The Yellow River is turbulent and large ships are sailing downstream.

Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin came to the side of the boat and looked at the sparse snow falling from the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Bao Xiruo was only wearing coarse linen clothes, it still couldn't conceal her natural beauty, especially the elegant and luxurious temperament that she had cultivated in the past 18 years of luxury in Wanyan Honglie's palace.

Yang Tiexin's face was still as haggard as before, but the feeling of misery and helplessness had dissipated a lot, and there was some spirit in his eyes.

After a night of cuddling and talking, Bao Xiruo reluctantly let go of the idea of committing suicide, and the strange feeling between the two of them after not seeing each other for many years was quickly melting away.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were staying in a not very spacious cabin, talking in low voices. Guo Jing, who usually spoke very little, suddenly became talkative, as if he had become a different person.

Taoist Master Wang Chuyi was meditating in his room, practicing very hard.
in another room.

Some of Yang Kang's acupoints had been unblocked by Xu Xingchen, so he was able to get up, move around, eat, and talk, but his internal energy was locked tightly in his dantian and he could not move.

Not only that, his muscles and bones were weak and powerless. Not to mention fighting anyone, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, it was hard to say whether he could float to the surface.

He did not change his clothes, still wearing the luxurious white robe, but his handsome face was as gloomy as the plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River, as if water could drip out of it.

Last night, when he saw his mother for the first time, he knew that the person who kidnapped his mother during the day and captured him at night was the same person. He was shocked, frightened and uneasy.

Unexpectedly, a series of events that happened afterwards made him feel like he was struck by lightning and his whole body was numb.

He just lay there in bed, listening to his mother and a strange, so-called biological father who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, chatting about the past.
The more they talked, the deeper their thoughts became. During this time, they cried and clung to each other countless times.
Yang Kang listened there in a daze all night, with mixed feelings in his heart that were hard to describe.

Even after he was brought onto the boat and several acupuncture points on his body that could move his body were untied, his mind was still in a mess. He sat by the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

In fact.
He has come to his senses now. Although he has reluctantly accepted the complicated facts that his mother is his mother, his original father is not his real father, and the current man with a haggard face is his biological father, his heart is as painful as a knife when he thinks that he is about to leave the luxurious and licentious life in the palace.

Now, he pretended to be so confused and bewildered, but it was just an illusion for others to see.

His mind had begun to block out the thought of his mother's reunion with his strange biological father, and he began to think of ways to escape.

He didn't want to follow Yang Tiexin, a low-class performer who traveled around the country to become a poor country bumpkin in Jiangnan.
He wanted to return to the Great Jin Kingdom, return to the capital, return to the palace, and continue to be his little prince.

That's the life he should live!

Xu Xingchen's Room
He was also sitting on a chair, looking at the falling snow outside the window, thinking about the characteristics of the martial arts of the five masters he met yesterday.

".Although the Thousand-Handed Man-Slayer Peng Lianhu did not display any amazing martial arts, after exerting the power of breaking through the realm three times, his body became extremely strong. He was knocked away by my fists several times, but he was still able to return to the battlefield quickly."

".The old monster Shenxian's physical strength is a little weak, but his speed should not be underestimated. When he uses his skills to the extreme, it's like teleporting."

".Master Lingzhi, his body is like a corpse, his bones are like iron, and his handprint is also somewhat extraordinary."

".Sha Tongtian, the Ghost Gate Dragon King, can actually absorb water molecules from the air and condense a stream of water that he can freely control, and can also transform it into an extremely sharp water trident. It is really magical."

"Finally, it's Ouyang Ke, the illegitimate son of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison."

".His two arms can freely extend and shorten, and they are also flexible and changeable. This is something that can only be achieved when the control of physical strength has reached a magical state."

"Moreover, Ouyang Ke can also control poisonous snakes within a radius of several dozen feet, making them appear and manipulating them to attack."

"Tsk tsk tsk! The martial arts of these people, as long as they have reached the third breakthrough, there will be some differences from ordinary people."

".The body's healing speed is also amazing. Every time he is injured or beaten black and blue, he can recover in a very short time. Even for someone as weak as Yang Tiexin, the back of his hand scratched by his son has now scabbed over."

".The vitality of martial artists in this world is much stronger than that of the previous two worlds."

Xu Xingchen sat in the chair and thought secretly, but he didn't know that his ability to control water and fire, walk on clouds, pull other people's bodies, and deflect other people's attacks brought even greater shock and horror to those people.

In the last room.
Mu Nianci sat on the bed blankly, her face showing worry for a while, and then a shy blush. Her eyes kept looking towards the house where Yang Kang was.
On one boat, eight people actually had several different moods, which just proves the saying that "people's sorrows and joys are at different frequencies"!

The few people sailed on a large ship for several days. After landing, they rested for one night in a nearby market town.

On the second day, he bought a few horses and a carriage and continued on his journey.

During this time, Huang Rong couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that the little red horse that Brother Guo gave me was left in a village near Beijing. I hope that the little red horse will still be there when we go back next time."

After the group passed the checkpoint and entered the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was time to part ways.

Wang Chuyi was the first to say goodbye and made it clear that when he returned, he would see his senior brother Qiu Chuji and tell him what happened in the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom; as for whether the duel between Guo Jing and Yang Kang would continue, it would be up to Qiu Chuji to decide.

But no matter what, on March 24th, they will go to Zuixianlou in Jiaxing to meet with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and others to settle the bet made that year.

After Taoist Master Wang left, Xu Xingchen drove Guo Jing and Huang Rong out of the team.

The reason is that you two young people should go sightseeing and cultivate your relationship; don't waste time following them, just get to Jiaxing Zuixianlou before noon on March 24th.
After thinking about that, he added, "Of course, it doesn't matter if we delay for a few days or don't go at all. After all, Jing'er beat Yang Kang up in Beijing, and the outcome has already been decided!"

Xu Xingchen's behavior of scolding the monk as a bald donkey in front of him made Yang Kang, who was standing beside him, look gloomy.

Watching Guo Jing and Huang Rong riding away on horseback, Xu Xingchen thought to himself, "They should be able to meet Hong Qigong again, right?! It shouldn't delay Jing'er's study of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

Next, Xu Xingchen and four others set off with light luggage.

Xu Xingchen and Mu Nianci each rode a horse, while Yang Tiexin drove a carriage, carrying his wife and son who were reluctant to show up in public.

When they arrived at the next city, Xu Xingchen wandered around outside and asked people about the situation.

That night, a thief dressed in black and wearing a mask broke into the residences of several unscrupulous businessmen and some corrupt officials in the city, and robbed them of all their money in an extremely brutal and domineering manner.

When the thief walked away with the gold, silver and treasures he had looted, the corrupt businessmen and officials who had been robbed all knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

On the second day, the atmosphere in the whole city became tense.

A large number of officials and soldiers were searching the streets and alleys as well as every inn.

Soon, the news that someone's house was robbed last night spread all over the streets.

When those people who were discussing the "big robbery" that happened last night after dinner found out that those who were robbed were the guys with the worst reputation in the city, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and secretly gave a thumbs up to the chivalrous hero.

The appearance of Xu Xingchen and his four companions was completely different from that arrogant thief last night. After paying a little money as a bribe, they were let go by the officials and soldiers who came to search.

He left the room, mounted his horse, and drove his carriage out of the city.

Arriving at the next market not far away, Xu Xingchen exchanged the old horse he was riding for a carriage, and then drove the carriage back to the grove outside the city where he had spent the night. He took out all the money and banknotes hidden on a big tree and put them in the carriage.

On the way back, he spent money like water and started to spend money on buying things all the way.

Buy all kinds of luxury goods, such as: carriages carved from yellow rosewood, handsome horses used to pull carriages, exquisite and luxurious silks and satins, and fine porcelain for eating and drinking tea.
In addition to these luxuries, he also spent money to buy people: twenty servants and twenty maids to serve him.
He also hired eight skilled chefs to cook delicious dishes from various places for him.
At the same time, he also bought some beautiful women who were proficient in poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting from some brothels.
As Xu Xingchen's team moved forward, the number of servants, maids, brothel girls and chefs he hired and bought increased.

Soon, some guards with agility and strong martial arts skills joined the group.

These people are bandits, highwaymen, robbers, and robbers who come to rob people on the road.
They thought they had encountered a fat sheep without any guarding force, but in the end they lost both the wife and the army.

All the robbers were captured by the owner of the convoy, who then used some strange acupuncture techniques to control them and made them obediently become the guards of the convoy.
Yang Tiexin's family of four watched helplessly as Xu Xingchen, who was originally gentle and polite, suddenly turned into a nouveau riche, spending money like water and constantly buying things.
Startled!

incredible!
