A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 87 Killing the Eagle!!

Actually, Li Weizhou was looking to take a break today. After a night of excitement, he wanted to rest and go home.

Although there's still more than half a month of excitement to watch and profits to be made, it doesn't matter to him, because he's a person who doesn't care about fame or fortune.

Furthermore, although last night seemed relaxed and easy, I was actually under a lot of tension the whole time; it was too exciting.

We were lucky; it happened to be a snowy winter night.

Furthermore, the rule is that only when one person leaves can another enter, meaning that only one person can trade in the grassy valley at any given time...

The people who wandered around speculating the night before the competition were mostly from the Prince of Jin's residence. If he hid among them, even if he bumped into one of them, he could easily deal with it by mentioning another prince's residence.

These were all pieces of information that Li Weizhou obtained from those guards.

He wouldn't drink for nothing; after all, he wasn't really a wanderer, and he didn't have the habit of going around calling out big shots and organizing drinking parties...

Combined with the information obtained from the Green Fox King's tent, Li Weizhou decisively chose to start the operation early.

Because the further back you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and the greater the probability of colliding!

Although it was a gamble, Li Weizhou was confident.

Firstly, no one could have imagined that someone in this world could cultivate ginseng and the immortal herb on such a large scale.

Secondly, no one could have imagined that someone in this world could create such realistic fake gold.

Thirdly, no one could have imagined that someone could single-handedly take away so many treasures.

Furthermore, no one could have imagined that someone would dare to fleece a group of powerful figures with unparalleled martial prowess in the world...

This is the information gap, the secret weapon of the Rothschild family, or the entire Jewish people, in building their fortunes. They call it the difference in cognitive dimensions.

Once those royal tents, royal mansions, and sects react, they'll probably cause a huge uproar.

Once such a major case blows up, the Malaysian market will be much more cautious in the future.

However, it's easy to break. Just be patient when buying and selling, and try a few more bites. The taste is completely different...

Now, in order to catch the "thief," they will definitely have to go to Somali City.

Li Weizhou didn't care; he let them search as they pleased, he was open and honest.

Of course, since he wasn't one to enjoy excitement and didn't want to see such a spectacle, he preferred a more leisurely and peaceful life. So he planned to return to Qingzhou City today to escape the turmoil.

They left cleanly and neatly, even giving away their pots, pans, and utensils to the guards of the Prince's mansion.

With his hands empty, who would suspect him? Wouldn't that be bullying?

He always felt that something big might happen after that old devil from the Prince of Jin's mansion died.

And then there was the fire he stirred up last night...

Well, we should take advantage of the current order and make our escape first.

Suddenly remembering something else, Li Weizhou, who was resting in bed, chuckled.

Yesterday, the Donghu people's costumes were changed several times, with different kings taking turns to appear.

However, the Han people were all dressed like eunuchs from the Prince of Jin's mansion.

The Prince of Jin's mansion is responsible for oversight, but it's not exactly clean itself. Last night, it was full of people from the Prince of Jin's mansion wandering around. They're going to get what's coming to them!

Prince Jin's Mansion, hehe!

Originally, the plan was to use the influence of the fourth brother, Li Changning, to resolve this future trouble, but now that the opportunity has come, it's best to do it without relying on others.

The old eunuch who suppressed the Prince's Mansion's fortune is already dead. This time, the Prince of Jin's Mansion caused heavy losses to the major royal tents and sects. It's no wonder that those tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves will not let them go.

Moreover, if things escalate, the Prince of Jin's mansion will be guilty of one serious crime for failing to properly oversee this grand gathering, and another serious crime for swindling and deceiving. The punishment from the imperial court would be enough to give the Prince of Jin's mansion a hard time!

Having lost the strength to hold sway over Yongzhou, it's hard to say whether he'll abolish his fiefdom, but he certainly won't have the mind to cause trouble for him in the short term...

"Hey, I'm an unparalleled handsome man, and also unmatched in wisdom!"

After boasting for a moment, Li Weizhou happily pulled out a mirror, looked at himself from left to right, and prepared to leave after getting ready.

At first, I didn't think anything of it, but after taking a closer look, I suddenly realized something was wrong...

His face was already handsome, and his phoenix eyes were already quite alluring. Fortunately, he was a very straight man at heart, so his gaze was usually very upright and had a masculine air about him.

Now, her eyes are bright and clear, like sunlight shining into a spring.

At first glance, you can tell their eyes shine with light, untouched by the dust of the world...

After carefully observing the situation, Li Weizhou was still shaken. Luckily, the eyes weren't the watery kind that girls have, otherwise he would have felt like dying.

He usually spits out spittle when he curses young male celebrities online, but when he sees a woman singing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" in a sissy voice, he wants to punch her flat and flush her down the toilet.

Thankfully, it's just clean and clear, not a monster.

Looking at her face again, it seemed much fairer...

No, it's not the kind of fair-skinned look that a pretty boy has; it's a kind of... radiant glow like a white lotus blooming in the snow!

Damn it!
Li Weizhou got goosebumps all over his body. He sat up with a start. How did he, a grown man, end up like this?
He didn't intend to follow the fourth brother's example and live off a woman, so why did he end up like this!
I'm so angry!!

Stone mirror?

He immediately thought of the culprit and spat out, "Pah!"

Whether it was his imagination or not, Li Weizhou felt a jolt in his mind, and then he realized that although he was still handsome, he wasn't as dazzling as before...

Take a deep breath and relax.

That's good, that's good. Although he's still incredibly handsome, he can at least hide it a bit, unlike before...

In the event of a conflict, regardless of whether they are on the side of good or evil, any man would probably want to smash that face; it's too dangerous.

How come I didn't notice it before? I didn't notice it when I was putting on makeup last night either.

No, it's because I didn't look in the mirror the past two days, and the oil lamp was dim last night, so I didn't see clearly.

He remembered now; no wonder Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi looked at him so strangely that day.

Yesterday, when Tuoba Tuya saw him, she seemed to glance at him a few more times...

Li Weizhou was speechless. He had originally thought it was his own charm.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat; thankfully, he had worn colored contact lenses last night…

but……

That doesn't seem to be the case. If it were really that obvious, it's impossible that we didn't notice anything last night.

What did he just say?

Li Weizhou thought for a moment, then silently repeated in his mind: "My unparalleled handsome man..."

Look in the mirror again...

Damn!

It actually works!!
Looking at his restored, pristine face in the mirror, Li Weizhou burst out laughing. Damn it!
This mirror is a bit improper!
Could the previous owner have been a narcissist? Or perhaps a woman! (Can you guess what their background is?)
Isn't this just a built-in beauty filter? No, it's much better than a beauty filter; it's an advanced makeup function.

Now, if he were to become a womanizer, he wouldn't even need to use force.

Li Weizhou, who had been an ordinary, unremarkable dog on the other side of the world for over twenty years, was now losing his composure and starting to let his mind wander.

I quickly toned down my brilliance and went out in a great mood.

This feature might save your life in a critical moment...

Of course, if the opponent is a man, it's definitely not going to work, not even if it kills you!!

...When he strolled out onto the street, he found that the scene had changed drastically from the previous night.

The north and south sides of the two stone platforms were covered with curtains, carpets, tables and chairs, and even stoves.

Dozens of tents were set up along the north and south streets, leaving no opportunity for passersby to observe.

Come to think of it, those who are about to take the stage are all the elite disciples of their respective families, so how can they be like street performers, letting ordinary people watch the show?
It didn't matter to Li Weizhou, and he didn't think much of it.

His approach is different from these common folk. He will certainly practice swordsmanship in the future, but it will definitely not be for killing people. Instead, it will be used to stop (show off) war. It is the sword of the benevolent!
As for eliminating evil, he has other methods...

Therefore, it doesn't matter what moves they use.

Li Weizhou was about to go back and pack his things to go home when he was stopped by Hai Fulai, the eunuch. The lecherous eunuch walked with a limp and looked at Li Weizhou with resentment in his triangular eyes, saying, "Third Young Master, please. His Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

The grandson of the Prince of Qi... Zhao Yuanzhi's brother, right?

Although Li Weizhou never wanted to socialize, he had no choice. After all, he wasn't born from a stone; in this world, how could he escape social interactions?

Moreover, this person might also be the older brother of the younger brother's wife, the brother-in-law of the fourth brother, or even a relative by marriage.

There's no way to avoid it.

He thought for a moment and said, "There's no reason for me to come out empty-handed. I'll go back and get a gift."

Eunuch Hai clearly still looked down on the poor scholar, urging, "Forget about etiquette, the important thing is not to keep the grandson waiting."

Li Weizhou ignored him and quickly returned to the hut, leaving Grandpa Hai with no choice but to follow.

Li Weizhou went inside and rummaged through the large cloth bag for a while, pulling out a brocade box. He said, "Let's go."

A tea set worth ninety-nine yuan is already quite generous.

……

"Changning is already a dragon among men, but I never imagined that you, my brother, would be even more outstanding. I am Zhao Yuancheng, and I greet you, my brother."

Li Weizhou was led into the tent of the Prince of Qi's residence. A young man in a light fur coat and white robe, who was sitting in the center, actually stood up to greet him, and his words were humble and polite.

The emphasis in "世兄" is on the word "世" (world/generation), as "兄" can refer to an elder brother or a younger brother.

This is clearly an attempt to elevate Li Weizhou's family background...

Li Weizhou smiled and bowed slightly, putting on all his acting skills, and said in a sour tone, "Your Highness is too kind. We are just a country bumpkin and cannot accept such praise." He then took out the brocade box he had brought with him and said, "I knew Your Highness was here when I came. My uncle asked me to bring a small gift for Your Highness to take back to the capital and present to the Prince of Qi as a token of our gratitude. My son has received much protection from the Prince's Mansion in the capital, and the Li family is extremely grateful."

After Zhao Yuancheng solemnly accepted the gift, Li Weizhou immediately took his leave. Although he was repeatedly asked to stay, his tone remained gentle yet firm. His excuse was that the grandson of the Prince of Qi was very busy, and he stated that he would leave the market early to avoid causing trouble for everyone.

The main point is to know when to advance and when to retreat.

Zhao Yuancheng was surprised but also delighted, probably not expecting Li Changning's family to be so self-respecting. Hai Fulai's beating was well-deserved.

After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade him to stay, he sent a generous return gift and personally escorted Li Weizhou out of the tent.

The refined lifestyle of the nobility was quite an eye-opener for Li Weizhou today.

On the stone platform in the middle of the street, the sounds of fighting and shouting were very loud. Li Weizhou only glanced at the stone platform briefly without stopping.

But even in that fleeting glimpse, he recognized the person on the stage as Zhang Wanyi.

The opponent was a young Donghu man dressed in fine clothes, with an arrogant and unruly air that made him quite annoying.

Zhang Wanyi didn't seem to be in good condition. Standing on the stone platform, Li Weizhou felt that she might have caught a glimpse of him, but he wasn't sure...

A golden eagle circled overhead, calling out, "Ah-chirp!"

……

Back in his room, Li Weizhou sat and pondered for a while, then went out for a stroll, locking the courtyard gate behind him. Suddenly, a "magpie" appeared in his hand...

Take out the remote control, turn it on, and once the signals are connected, gently raise your hand, and the magpie will take off under the control of the remote control.

It flew low into the alleyway and then soared into the sky.

The whooshing sound of wings flapping was nothing compared to the deafening shouts surrounding the arena battle not far away.

The magpie quietly circled around to the north street. Through the video footage, Li Weizhou saw that Zhang Wanyi's shoulder was covered in blood, and she was swaying precariously...

But there is no sign of them giving up.

He frowned, not understanding what this kind of battle was all about. Weren't people allowed to admit defeat?
These prodigies, their biggest weakness is that they are too arrogant and stubborn...

The golden eagle's cry echoed through the sky once more, but this time the ferocity in its call was clearly palpable.

It is estimated that a small, oblivious carambhava has been spotted within its airspace...

Li Weizhou, head bowed, watched as he manipulated the "magpie" to dance and frolic freely within the golden eagle's absolute airspace, even wagging its tail upwards...

Sure enough, the golden eagle was nearly enraged and suddenly began to swoop down.

Li Weizhou stared intently at the sky. Just as the golden eagle's sharp talons were about to grab the magpie, he suddenly pressed a remote control that looked like a car key in his hand.

Then suddenly there was a loud bang, and a ball of fire appeared in the air.

The explosion itself didn't seem very powerful; it didn't kill the golden eagle, and it was able to fly upwards.

However, before the stunned crowd below could begin to cheer, the sparks from the "magpie" exploded and immediately caught fire upon hitting the surface of the golden eagle, and the fire grew larger and larger.

No matter how the golden eagle screamed in agony in the air, or how it desperately flapped its wings and tumbled and shook violently in the air, it was all in vain.

This golden eagle is clearly an unusual species. Normally, a golden eagle's wingspan is only about two meters, but this one is probably five or six meters long. I wonder how many rare and precious herbs that Donghu prince fed it.

However, at this moment, the denser and thicker its feathers, the more cruel the suffering it endures.

The flames on its body emitted a dazzling white light, a rare sight on earth, as if it were a divine punishment.

It not only burns off the feathers, but it can even burn through the flesh and blood, burning even to the bone.

The people below, whether Han or non-Han, were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"Ah—Chirp!"

A desperate, piercing cry that everyone could hear echoed through the sky once more. The golden eagle, engulfed in flames, swooped down, perhaps to where its master, the prince who doted on and loved it so dearly, lay.

I wonder if, at this moment, that hairy beast has thought of the children it grabbed high, then slammed them to their deaths and devoured...

Li Weizhou didn't look any further. He went inside, slung the packed package over his shoulder, went outside to find his horse, and headed out.

You can faintly hear the chaos, cursing, and wailing not far away; all sorts of disorderly scenes can be heard.

He was relatively relaxed. Instead of taking the main street, he opened the small gate leading to the detached courtyard and followed the route he had taken earlier. Even when he encountered servants from the Prince's mansion, he openly informed them that he had just greeted the Prince's grandson.

He carried only the gifts that the Prince of Qi had just given him in return, and instructed that another package of pots and pans be left for Zhang Duanzheng and his guards.

They then exited through the south gate without any obstruction and went directly onto the road back to Qingzhou City.

They were already so far away, but the commotion behind them was getting louder and louder, with roars, shouts of killing, and general chaos, but Li Weizhou wasn't too worried.

According to Li Changning, the Imperial Criminal Division of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Eight Princes and Eight Clans were far more powerful than the Donghu.

If it weren't for the existence of a powerful and enigmatic shaman in Donghu, they would have been destroyed by the Great Qian long ago.

Therefore, even if the Donghu people had lost their minds, they would not choose to start a war at this time.

Of course, they'll definitely make a big scene.

Therefore, Li Weizhou chose to run away immediately, because he was afraid of trouble.

A person and a horse walked on the snow track. Looking around, the vast white land was so clean.

The commotion behind him grew louder, but while others enjoyed their own fun, he was merely a passerby returning home to the clatter of hooves...
