Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 72 71 Mansion, Wei He's Gift
This mansion is located on Qinghe Street, a prosperous commercial street in the outer city. Outside, there are clothing shops, food stalls, and pharmacies, providing everything you need for food, accommodation, and transportation.

But when I entered the house, I found that the courtyard was deep and there was no noise. It was really a peaceful place in the midst of noise.

This mansion has five front doors and five courtyards, with a total of twenty-five rooms.

It has everything you need including a hall, flower hall, corridor, garden rockery and martial arts field.

The stable is even more spacious, probably enough to house a dozen or so horses.

"Chili, you are blessed."

Li Cunxiao smiled and patted his beloved horse on the butt, watching it look around in the stable, nodding from time to time, looking very satisfied.

"This horse is really spiritual."

He looked at Chili with envy in his eyes, and suddenly felt that the good horses he raised were like stupid animals.

"This horse is indeed psychic, but it's still an animal after all. No matter how powerful it is, it can only live in a larger stable."

"People are different. When they are humble, they may not even have a stable to live in. But when they become rich, they have thousands of troops and horses, and they serve as ministers to kings and nobles, and their names are recorded in history."

Li Cunxiao said this unconsciously, and Hebi couldn't help but show surprise.

"I never thought Brother Li had such great ambitions."

"Hahahahaha, just kidding. I'm not even first-rate in Chuqiu, let alone how many heroes are there in the sixteen realms of the world?"

Li Cunxiao's eyes flashed and he changed the subject.

"By the way, Brother He, the Zheng family will be selling off in a couple of days. Senior Sister Jiang Qi and I are organizing a small gathering. All the participants are disciples from the Inner City Martial Arts School."

"It will definitely be beneficial for everyone to exchange ideas and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. You and Qin Yu, come along."

He Bi was delighted when he heard this, "Thank you very much for your support, Brother Li."

He is not very interested in fighting, but he is still very enthusiastic about making friends.

"You're welcome. However, brothers like Qian Yu and Gao Huer in the escort agency have been escorting for many years and are very experienced. Brother He, if you have time, you may ask for their advice from time to time."

Hearing Li Cunxiao's intentional or unintentional suggestions, Hebi felt embarrassed for a moment.

Since he entered the warehouse, he had nothing to do and he loved making friends. He often went out to drink and have fun with people, so his martial arts skills were somewhat neglected.

When the other party said this, how could he not know that he was reminding him?

Blushing, he evaded the question with a few words, saying why wait for the servant selected by Manager Wang to arrive, and then he said goodbye and left.

"Why bother with martial arts? I'm afraid it's hard to achieve anything."

Li Cunxiao looked at the other person's departing back and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The other party came from a wealthy family and had never suffered any hardship. He was the only son in the family and was therefore pampered.

Since birth, he has had a life that tens of thousands of people in Chuqiu County only dream of, so naturally he has no motivation to work hard.

It was the same for the rich second generation in the previous life. They could just rely on the achievements of their parents and live a carefree life without having to do anything.

How many of the children and grandchildren of famous entrepreneurs can make a name for themselves?
Too little.

Anyway, as a friend, I have given you advice and provided you with connections, but what you can achieve in the end depends on you.

Li Cunxiao was thinking as he strolled around the house.

The house had obviously been repainted and looked as bright and clean as new, with every detail spotless.

The house is fully furnished.

The room was neatly furnished with a black lacquer and mother-of-pearl gold-painted bed, a bright red drapery with gold loops, tables, chairs and brocade stools.

It is magnificent but not excessive, with a sense of wealth that comes from smoking, rather than being a nouveau riche.

It obviously took a lot of thought.

"Why not just move here today?"

Li Cunxiao has always been a man who does what he thinks. Besides, there was nothing valuable in the house originally.

He rode home and told Wei Ying about it, but the latter couldn't help but warn him:

"Master is now a top figure in the city. Should he send out invitations to everyone he knows when he moves into a new house?"

Li Cunxiao thought about it and realized that it was true.

Just as Mr. He said, these things are just like the ceremonial procession of the county yamen. If you want to keep a low profile and not show it off, others will look down on you.

He is no longer Li Sanlang from the restaurant, but the direct disciple of Zhang Lishi from the Feihu Escort Agency. He is called "San Ye" whenever he enters or leaves the city gate.

Even if you don't like to make a fuss, at least you should invite people you know in the escort agency to come over to show your closeness.

Especially Zhang Lishi's family and the two brothers Cui Da and Cui, they should be invited to their homes.

The previous habit of keeping everything simple is no longer appropriate.

"This Wei Ying is really thoughtful and considerate. He has a completely different personality from his brother. I'm afraid it's because of his recklessness that I have to be more careful."

Li Cunxiao nodded to Wei Ying.

"Then we can move a few days later."

"But from now on, you two siblings will live with me, so let Wei He come back for dinner tonight."

Wei Ying was naturally happy to hear this.

My younger brother joined the escort agency and is busy raising horses and practicing boxing. I haven't seen him for a few days.

I used to think my brother was like a jerk, always catching rats and birds, with an annoying amount of energy. But now that we've been apart for a while, I actually miss him more.

In the evening, Li Cunxiao brought Mu Cha from Zhang's house, and together with Wei He's siblings, they had a meal of wine in advance.

Wei He was naturally delighted to hear that there was a stable in the big house and that the siblings would have their own rooms.

On the contrary, Mu Cha was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Although this house is small and they didn’t live there for long, it was the first house the Li brothers moved into after they became rich.

Mu Cha felt more and more that as his elder brother's status became higher, the time he could spend with him became shorter. In the past, Li Cunxiao was busy during the day and he could tell him stories at night, but now he could only see him in his free time.
"Ugh"

Li Cunxiao looked at his brother forcing a smile, feeling distressed but helpless.

This is not the peaceful and tranquil modern world, but a chaotic era of warlords. He cannot educate Mu Cha using the same methods he used in his previous life.

He just lacks time to accompany his brother now, and in the future, he will not only teach his brother how to fight with others, but also personally lead him to kill people.
What a damn world.

"Benefactor"

After dinner, while Wei Ying was cleaning up the mess, Wei He seriously took out a roll of animal skin and presented it to him with both hands.

"This is?"

"This has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. It describes the distribution of monsters in Pingqiu Mountain, as well as the bait recipe for luring monsters."

"I can see that you have some interest in hunting. You saved my sister and me, and this is the only thing I can offer you."

"If you don't mind, I will teach you all the hunting experience passed down from my ancestors."

Dislike? How could that be!
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao unfolded the leather scroll, which contained simple ink outlines of the seven peaks of Pingqiu, as well as the approximate location of the monsters within them.

However, only the first to fourth peaks in this image are detailed, while the rest are too simple, with only a few water sources marked.

But even so, it is extremely precious to Li Cunxiao.

If I don’t have this map, I can only rely on luck to hunt monsters.

Not being able to find prey is a small problem. The real fear is to voluntarily walk into the lair of high-level demons and fall into their trap.

However, the bait mentioned by Wei He made Li Cunxiao recall the herd of animals during the autumn hunt.

The incident happened suddenly at that time, and afterwards there was a human demon and a Pegasus demon fetus, so I had no time to think about it.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are some strange things happening everywhere.

Was that day really an accident?
If not, who led the herd and what was their purpose?

Li Cunxiao is not the type of person who worries about everything. Even if the sky falls, there will always be Zhang Lishi to support it.

In any case, Wei He's gift came at the right time.

Now he is no longer short of money, but the demon meat on the black market is of low grade and expensive, so the cost-effectiveness is not high.

The meat provided by the escort agency has relatively pure blood, but too little evil energy.

He had originally planned to hunt demons on his own.

On the one hand, he could harvest evil spirits, and on the other hand, he could get the pure flesh and blood of demons, which he could eat while nourishing Mu Cha's body.

At the age of ten, he started to cultivate his bones with demon flesh. Li Cunxiao couldn't even imagine how terrifying his potential would be when Mu Cha formally started practicing martial arts.
But now, since Wei He is so sensible and has such a loyal character, it might be a good idea to give him a share of the profits.

At that time, Emperor Taizong Wen was the general of Tiance, and he often braved arrows and stones himself, but he still had Duke Yi riding a horse and whipping it for him, and taking the head of the army.

Now that I am a leader of a escort group, I naturally need a capable thug under my command.

Li Cunxiao was in a good mood and couldn't help but joked:
"When you give a gift to someone, you must have something to ask for. It's rare for you to be so clever. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Wei He was a little embarrassed when he heard this:
"I am already satisfied with being able to raise horses and learn boxing. My sister is serving me at home, so I hope you can treat her better."

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He is not Cao Mengde, who slept with his eldest son and right-hand man just for a night of love.

Although Wei He is still a young boy and is far from being his Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao understands the principle that a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow.

Wu Qi sucked out a carbuncle, and the soldiers died for him.

Li Cunxiao may not do anything big in the future, but he doesn't mind starting with small things.

"You and your sister are both my permanent employees, officially contracted to me, not slaves."

"I don't like to talk nonsense. When we move, you can choose a room next to your sister."

Upon hearing this, Wei He felt a little embarrassed.

What he actually meant was, if you like my sister, marry her and treat her well.

The Wei family was a small family, so there was no hope of her becoming a wife. If she became a concubine, without her husband's love, she would be bullied.
But Wei He was shy, and since his benefactor had said so, he didn't dare to say anything more.

In other words, being respected by the other party is more pleasing than he expected.

There was no stable or fodder in this old courtyard, so after dinner, Wei He led Chili back to the escort agency.

In the evening, the Li brothers had a rare chat. It was basically Mu Cha who was talking and Li Cunxiao was listening. The two brothers enjoyed the rare peace.

Before I knew it, three days had passed.

"There are fewer visitors to this sales fair than I thought."

In the Sishui Chamber of Commerce, Li Cunxiao sat in a specially separated room, looking at the high platform in the distance and the room windows covered with gauze.

When the government office is selling goods, it naturally will not allow officials to bargain in person, as that would be unbecoming.

The Sishui Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Chuqiu. It is said that its headquarters is located in Songcheng, the capital of Songzhou Prefecture, and it has a wide network of contacts.

It was natural for the county government to hand over the sale of flowers to the Chamber of Commerce, which could also take this opportunity to promote some of its own products, which was a win-win situation for both parties.

"The Zheng family is one of the largest families in the inner city. Their assets are worth a lot of money, and ordinary forces don't have such a good appetite."

"So, Senior Sister, do you have anything you like?"

Li Cunxiao looked at Zhang Yuelu beside him and said with a smile:

"Yesterday, when we moved into our new house, Master and his wife both brought gifts to our home. Today, I'd like to offer some flowers to the Buddha. Please help me think about it."

"Junior brother, you are so thoughtful." Zhang Yuelu smiled and declined politely:

"But as the saying goes, one should start a family and build a career. Junior Brother Li is already eighteen years old, so it's time to save some money for marriage."

"Did you find any girl you like among the various families you've visited these days? I'd like to ask my mother to find a match for you."
