The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 227 Yellow Turban Warrior's Protective Bracelet
Li Jingxiao was surprised to see that the Yellow Turban warriors he had summoned actually took the initiative to bow and greet him.

He immediately realized that this Yellow Turban Warrior was somewhat different from the Yellow Turban Warriors he had summoned in the past.

On a whim, he decided to inquire about some things in the Heavenly Court.

Before he could even open his mouth, Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly.

Even if the other party were just a Yellow Turban warrior, or even a heavenly general or a divine general, they would not be able to reveal the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, it seems I don't really have anything good to exchange for cultivation techniques, divine weapons, or anything like that.

The item in the other party's hand is most likely just some cheap stuff from the Heavenly Court.

However, Li Jingxiao still tried asking, "General, is the sky beautiful?"

When the Yellow Turban warrior heard Li Jingxiao ask him about this, he was taken aback.

He then sighed with a hint of helplessness and shook his head: "You'll know when the real person goes to the Heavenly Court."

These words immediately made Li Jingxiao realize that the Heavenly Court was indeed not as wonderful as it appeared on the surface.

That makes sense. No matter what kind of organization it is, if it exists for a long time, it will inevitably have various problems.

The more open and aboveboard a place is, the darker its unseen aspects may be.

Li Jingxiao was mentally prepared for this, so he didn't feel there was anything to be emotional about.

Moreover, it seems that although the Yellow Turban Warriors cannot speak of matters concerning the Heavenly Court, they are not completely forbidden from speaking of anything.

After some questioning, it was learned that the Yellow Turban Warrior in front of him was a subordinate of the You Sheng Zhen Jun and Xuan Wu Yuan Shuai, two of the four marshals of the Thunder Department.

He was one of the thousands of Yellow Turban warriors under the command of Zhenwu the Great.

Upon hearing the name Zhenwu the Great, Li Jingxiao suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps it has something to do with him being the abbot of Zhenwu Temple, where the main deity worshipped is Zhenwu the Great.

Li Jingxiao then stopped asking questions.

If it is truly the True Martial Emperor who has taken a liking to me, as long as I continue to subdue demons and monsters, I will naturally reap many benefits.

If not, asking more questions is pointless.

It also affects one's mood.

Li Jingxiao quickly decided to assign this Yellow Turban warrior to serve at the Zhenwu Temple.

When he practices his skills, he has the other person guard him.

The Yellow Turban Warrior accepted the task of guarding Zhenwu Temple without hesitation.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Jingxiao, then happily flew off to Zhenwu Temple.

Once everyone left, Yuan Chun, Bao Qin, Sister You Er, and Sister You San were left in the martial arts arena.

Jingxi, Jingyue, Jingrong, and Qin Zhong looked at Li Jingxiao with nothing but admiration.

According to their own understanding, their husbands, elder brothers, and brothers-in-law would inevitably become immortals who ascended to heaven.

The saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Perhaps in the future, I will also be able to go to the Heavenly Court because of my elder brother.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chun looked at Li Jingxiao with tenderness.

Li Jingxiao smiled and shook his head. If one day he were to ascend to the Immortal Realm and have the opportunity to benefit his family, he would naturally not refuse.

But life in Heaven isn't necessarily as good as one might imagine.

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency; extreme enjoyment and comfort can actually be a source of trouble.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court has too many rules and regulations.

He didn't want to be restrained by anyone; he'd rather be a carefree immortal outside the Heavenly Court.

Of course, without the power, you can't live a carefree life even if you want to.

Li Jingxiao coughed and asked with a smile, "Would you like to go to Jinling for a few more days?"

Yuan Chun, wanting to see Jia Zhu, nodded again without hesitation.

Even Sister You Er and Sister You San excitedly chimed in.

As for the three Jingxi sisters, there's no need to ask; they would definitely be the first to agree to go out and have fun.

Li Jingxiao casually took out a handful of rune-inscribed gold beans and used the gold and red silk ribbons from the game to string together bracelets consisting of four gold beans and some gemstones.

It was distributed to everyone.

In Yuan Chun's words, this bracelet is the 'Yellow Turban Warrior's Protective Bracelet'.

When she wore it on her wrist, Yuan Chun, as the sister-in-law and wife, had a very bright smile on her face.

However, since Jingyue and Jingrong's wrists were still small, they simply wore them as necklaces around their necks.

Moreover, when using it, there is no need to break the gold thread rope; you only need to hold the gold bean in your hand and silently recite the incantation.

You can then summon the Golden Armored Yellow Turban Warrior.

You can summon one, two, or all four at once.

However, once the magic power left by Li Jingxiao on the golden beans is exhausted, or the golden armor warriors are broken by the enemy, these warriors will also disappear.

But there's no need to worry about it normally, as the magic power on the golden bean will dissipate in a short time.

Li Jingxiao didn't think the martial prowess of the Dongting Dragon Palace was that great, but their skill in carving runes was indeed quite high.

The magical power on the golden bean will definitely not dissipate on its own for at least three to five years.

With this bracelet, Li Jingxiao basically no longer needs to worry about the safety of his family and friends.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had a sudden inspiration and took all these bracelets to Zhenwu Temple, where he spent a considerable amount of time worshipping the statue of Zhenwu, the Ancestor of Demon Subduing.

The golden-armored warriors summoned by this bracelet are indeed from the residence of You Sheng Zhen Jun, one of the Four Saints of the North Pole.

Li Jingxiao suddenly remembered that in Journey to the West, when Pigsy was in Gao Village, he said something to Sun Wukong who had transformed into Gao Cuilan.

Even if the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor descended to earth, he wouldn't be afraid.

This isn't just Pigsy bragging.

Since Zhu Bajie is Marshal Tianpeng, he is one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, along with Zhenwu Patriarch.

They were not only colleagues, but their relationship seemed quite good.

However, Zhenwu the Great rose step by step, from Yousheng Zhenjun to Xuanwu the Great and Xuantian Shangdi, becoming a great god of the same rank as Ziwei the Great.

But Zhu Bajie was banished to the mortal world, reincarnated as a pig, and eventually went to the West to become the Clean Altar Messenger.

It's like going back to the past as you get older.

In terms of status alone, the two are completely incomparable.

The problem of guarding the wives and concubines has been resolved.

Lee Kyung-hyo distributed a summoning bracelet to everyone present.

As for Jia Baoyu, since the boy wasn't there, Li Jingxiao simply pretended to have forgotten about his brother-in-law.

Yuan Chun and Bao Qin were so excited that they didn't even notice why Bao Yu didn't get it when Qin Zhong did.

Li Jingxiao guessed that Yuan Chun probably knew that she, as her brother-in-law, was somewhat disappointed in Jia Baoyu.

It's better not to mention it, lest it upset my husband.

Moreover, Jia Baoyu stayed at home in the Rongguo Mansion all day long, so where would he be in danger?

At this moment, Sister You Er and Sister You San were together with Jing Xi and Jing Yue.

Watching Jing Rong imitate the Taoist priest's spellcasting.

They shouted and yelled, summoning the Yellow Turban warriors.

Then the strongmen listened to the little guy's instructions and did this and that.

The Yellow Turban Warriors were originally the spirits of soldiers who died fighting for the Heavenly Court.

Although as long as the soul remains, one will never die.

Yet they were relegated to the lowest level of the Heavenly Court, performing tasks similar to those of earthly servants.

Therefore, as long as Jing Rong's commands are not excessive, he will punch when told to punch and hover in mid-air when told to fly.

The excited children clapped and giggled incessantly. The maids and servants outside the training ground were quite curious, but none of them dared to peek.

We can only guess what happened in the training ground from what Jing Rong and the others said.

Yuan Chun happily watched for a while before instructing Bao Qin to take people to prepare luggage.

I plan to go to Jinling with Li Jingxiao first thing tomorrow morning.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao simply smiled and remained silent.

Yuan Chun, in the end, was a young girl who hadn't even attended university in her previous life.

As for where to stay in Jinling, Li Jingxiao wasn't worried.

At worst, we can stay at the Rongguo Mansion in Jinling.

That area has always been empty, except for the old man surnamed Jin and his wife, and some old servants who take care of it.

Around nine o'clock, Qin Keqing woke up, washed up, and took Baozhu and Ruizhu to the training ground.

After learning from Yuan Chun and Jing Xi that their husbands planned to take them to Jinling for a while, they discovered that their husbands intended to take them there.

At first, she hesitated, but then she saw that Yuan Chun and Jing Xi all looked expectant.

Seeing Li Jingxiao nod again, he finally smiled helplessly and instructed Baozhu and Ruizhu to pack up as well.

In the afternoon, Li Jingxiao went to the Left Garrison Command to give some instructions before returning home.

A day passed, and the next morning, Li Jingxiao looked at more than twenty boxes.

With a somewhat helpless wave of his hand, he put all the large boxes into his inventory.

Even when the sword control technique is only at the advanced level, it is enough to carry Hu Xian'er and Liu Cuitong from the capital to Jieshou Lake in Yangzhou.

She also took the three Jingxi sisters and Qin Zhong to the East Sea for a day trip.

Now that the sword control technique has reached the master level, it's not difficult to bring twice as many people.

With a thought, the level 60 Big Dipper Sword transformed into a giant flying sword, ten meters long and two meters wide.

It can comfortably seat eleven people, let alone twice as many.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao learned the invisibility technique from the City God of the capital, which allowed him to make the entire giant flying sword invisible.

Otherwise, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Before Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun left, they repeatedly instructed Jia Heng, the steward of external affairs, as well as the stewards of the east and west courtyards, to manage the affairs inside and outside the house.

Then he insisted that Li Jingxiao arrange for four golden-armored warriors to guard the storerooms in the east and west courtyards before he felt at ease.

Li Jingxiao could only shake his head with a helpless smile, but he did indeed summon four golden-armored warriors.

Then he told Erfu and the others to ride a horse to Jinling.

However, there are no strict time restrictions.

Only then did he take his family and fly to Jinling.

The ten-meter-long flying sword sliced ​​through the sky, and as it flew at high speed, it actively activated a protective shield to block the negative effects of the cold wind and acceleration.

Having already ridden the flying sword once, the three Jingxi sisters and Qin Zhong volunteered to explain it to Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun.

The journey was filled with laughter and joy, and before we knew it, we had arrived outside Jinling.

Even though Li Jingxiao deliberately reduced the flight speed, he still felt that the flight was slow.

But for Qin Keqing and the others, it seemed as if they had only been talking for a short while, and they had already arrived.

When they saw Jinling City, their expressions were the same as Jingxi and the other three had been back then—somewhat unsatisfied.

He landed directly in the front courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion in Jinling. Once everyone had regained their footing, Li Jingxiao withdrew his flying sword and invisibility spell.

But for Old Man Jin and his few old servants who were chatting and joking in the front yard...

Li Jingxiao and his group seemed to appear in an instant, startling them so much that they almost jumped up.

Fortunately, we could see clearly that Li Jingxiao and his group included both adults and children.

Only then did he feel a little relieved, and cautiously came over to greet her.

It was already noon, and Li Jingxiao still hadn't gone to the Demon-Sealing Tower to gain experience today.

There's no time to waste on explanations.

Pointing to Yuan Chun, he said to Old Man Jin, "This is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, my second wife. You must listen to her in everything you do."

After saying a few words to Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun, he rode away on a cloud.

Old Jin and his servants, witnessing Li Jingxiao's godlike abilities once again, dared not show the slightest disrespect to Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun.

Not to mention, Yuan Chun was originally the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.

The first thing Yuan Chun instructed was to send someone to invite Aunt Xue over.

Then he pulled Qin Keqing aside and said that living in the Rongguo Mansion in Jinling was not a big deal.

But his own husband was, after all, the Duke of Xingguo, so there was no reason for him to stay at his father-in-law's house for long.

Qin Keqing immediately understood that Yuan Chun was worried that she was not comfortable living there.

That's when he decided to spend money to buy a large house in Jinling as a villa.

In the past, Qin Keqing would have felt sorry for losing 30,000 to 50,000, or even 100,000 taels of silver.

But since the construction of the huge mansion near the Summer Palace in Beijing began, money has been flowing out like water.

But the more they spent, the more silver, gold, and jewelry their husbands brought home.

Qin Keqing was indeed unwilling for the whole family to live in the Rongguo Mansion in Jinling for an extended period, which is why she nodded and praised Yuan Chun for her thoughtfulness.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chun said with a smile, "Sister, why don't you tell the husband that he spent 20 taels of silver to buy the house?"

Let's split the money we haven't spent.

This also prevents officials from hiding so much private money and indulging in extravagant lifestyles outside.

Qin Keqing rolled her eyes at Yuan Chun and said that if Li Jingxiao found out, she would be in big trouble.

But after saying that, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The two are on the same side regarding the matter of emptying Lee Kyung-hyo's private savings.

Unfortunately, the two women had no idea that the money Li Jingxiao had placed in their hands was less than two or three tenths of what was in their inventory.

It will be quite difficult to empty his secret stash of money.

After Qin Keqing and the others had eaten the large table of food that Old Man Jin had bought from a well-known restaurant nearby.

Aunt Xue had already rushed over with Baochai.

When Aunt Xue saw Yuan Chun, she could hardly believe it for a moment.

After confirming it was indeed Yuan Chun, the expression on his face was priceless.

Baochai quickly tugged at her mother's sleeve, and only then did Aunt Xue realize what was happening.

If it were just Yuan Chun, it would be fine, since she is her own niece after all.

But Qin Keqing was also there; she was the rightful "Lady of the State" of the Duke of Xingguo's mansion.

She was a first-rank imperial consort personally appointed by the emperor, and could have an audience with the emperor and empress at any time.

In the past, when there were any happy events in the palace, invitations would be sent to Qin Keqing.

If one were to attend the appointment, even a princess or a noblewoman would have to bow to Qin Keqing.

Aunt Xue hurriedly bowed to Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing did not go forward to help her up. Instead, she pulled Yuan Chun to sit with her.

After exchanging a few polite words with a smile, Baozhu and Ruizhu helped Aunt Xue and her daughter up.

Aunt Xue and her daughter didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They also felt that Qin Keqing was not only kind, but also very considerate and proper in her dealings with others.

When Qin Keqing said that Li Jingxiao needed to stay at Maoshan for a long time, he discussed it with Yuanchun.

Feeling that the official's daily commute between Maoshan and the capital was too far, the family decided to stay in Jinling for a while.

These words left Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai speechless.
