Chapter 202 The rivers and lakes are far away, and a hundred taels of silver are not enough to spend

Cao Rushan did not curse Li Mengzhou not to cross the threshold of the four realms, but Li Mengzhou was different from other practitioners. He had problems with his qi sea and had stagnation in front of the threshold of the four realms for a long time.

Although it does not mean that he cannot cross the threshold of the four realms, it also shows from another perspective that it will be more difficult for Li Mengzhou to cross that threshold than ordinary practitioners.

Of course, Cao Rushan also has his own selfishness and hopes that Li Mengzhou would not be able to cross the threshold of the four realms, so he could only practice formation techniques with him.

But when Li Mengzhou was unwilling, Cao Rushan could not say anything, so he could only continue to wait. Either Li Mengzhou successfully crossed the threshold of the four realms and had no fate with him, or he continued to stagnate, then he had absolute reason to mess with Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou didn't know what Cao Rushan was thinking. After drinking the little glass of wine, he sent Cao Rushan out of the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, someone came to the door.

However, compared to the first meeting with Cao Rushan, the one who visited this time was an acquaintance.

Qing Yi, the spy leader of Tianshu Academy.

Li Mengzhou was filled with joy and greeted him with a rare look and said, "What's wrong? Is the money brought?"

Qing Yi paused helplessly and said in a muffled voice: "No wonder he is so enthusiastic. It turns out that he is thinking about his monthly salary."

Li Mengzhou said naturally: "Are you talking nonsense? If you didn't have a monthly salary in Tianshuyuan, you would want to take care of you."

Qing Yi was too lazy to argue with Li Mengzhou, so he reached into his arms and threw it to him a purse, saying, "Although it is not the day to pay the salary, it is not a few days before, so I will give it to you first."

Although Li Mengzhou has been joining Tianshu Academy for some time, he has not actually performed any tasks. It is embarrassing to get a salary for nothing. However, when eating is a problem, it is useless to take it or not.

He untied his purse and counted it carefully, and said in surprise: "The number is a bit wrong. I only have the name of Qingjiu in Tianshu Courtyard. Apart from being admitted to the Ligong Sword Academy, I have never taken any other tasks. The level should be at the lowest level. Usually, I am also shameless and begging for it. At most, I can get fifty taels. Why do I have 100 taels of silver this month?"

In fact, Li Mengzhou once had doubts about the task of being admitted to the Ligong Sword Academy assigned to him by Jiang Tingyu. He had thought about whether Jiang Tingyu had any ideas about the Ligong Sword Academy. However, he later overturned this speculation, and instead he was more inclined to Jiang Tingyu deliberately used this task to allow him to successfully be admitted to the Ligong Sword Academy.

As for why Jiang Tingyu is so nice to him, Li Mengzhou is too lazy to think about it. He can't get the answer from Jiang Tingyu, so he can only temporarily hold his heart.

Qing Yi said lightly: "I think it's too much?"

"Who would think there is too much money? But suddenly I always feel something is wrong with giving it so much." Although Li Mengzhou held the wallet tightly in his hand, he still maintained a sense of caution.

Qing Yi calmly replied: "There is a task."

Li Mengzhou said in surprise: "Is there any reward for carrying out the task? According to my usual salary of only ten taels, I even paid a lot of money in advance. Now I give me 100 taels. How much is the reward for the task?"

If he wanted to perform a task, Li Mengzhou actually felt that this hundred taels was a little less, because he had to give some to Aunt Feng, and it was impossible for him to only take out a few taels of silver. He had to give it half of it, and the remaining fifty taels were used for daily expenses. Although it was not too much, it was difficult to guarantee that the fifty taels would not need to be paid for a penny under the premise of having a task.

According to what he understood, the spies sent from Tianshu Academy performed very dangerous lurking tasks, and occasionally they would receive tasks to kill designated targets. The former requires very meticulous thoughts and unchanging ability in the face of danger, while the latter requires a certain degree of strength. Li Mengzhou's identity in Tianshu Academy belongs to the latter.

There are also hierarchical divisions among the spies of Tianshu Academy. The difference is that their numbers are the number one, the leader who is the highest in the first place, and his monthly salary is dozens of taels. From the second place to the twenty, he is the veritable elite of Tianshu Academy.

However, because there are strong strength and strong disguise ability, their cultivation level is also high and low, but at least they are the most outstanding in their respective fields.

Originally, Qingjiu was a lurking spy. Although he had not crossed the threshold of the fourth realm, he was lurking beside King Yu and successfully obtained information. It was only at the last moment that he was discovered. However, he still returned to the capital alive. Even if he killed all the pursuers in the capital, he died of exhaustion. However, his ability is obvious to all.

Li Mengzhou inherited Qingjiu's number, but he was not a lurking spy, and he was also special in Tianshu Courtyard because he had no achievements. Although he was named Qingjiu, the monthly salary he could get was not high.

Ordinary people can only save some money by just one tael of silver. Even though Qingyi is the leader who only receives a few dozen taels of monthly salary, it is actually something that some ordinary people may not be able to earn in their entire lives.

It is actually not too small that Li Mengzhou can get at least ten taels of monthly salary every month. Putting aside Li Mengzhou's special nature in Tianshu Courtyard, most of the spies are performing very dangerous tasks. If you are not careful, you may die. Although these money seems to be something ordinary people can't earn in their entire lives, if they are exchanged for their lives, then no amount of money will be too much.

The spies also have family members, and the numbering level also means that they will receive tasks of different levels of danger. Most of the salary is earned for their families.

Tianshu Academy will indeed give some silver for certain tasks, because the silver is needed in the task. Now Li Mengzhou has 100 taels in his purse. Obviously, he can also expect that this silver is not all for him.

As expected, Qingyi gave an accurate answer, "The Grand Master of Ligong Jianyuan brought back some news from outsiders. Combined with the incident that happened in the capital, there must be some problem with the Demon Suppression Barrier."

"There is no news from the Tang God General who is in the Western Region. His Majesty decided to send disciples from various cultivation mountains to the wasteland to explore the possible problems of the demon-suppressing barrier."

"And on the way, you need to complete the task of killing the mountain outsiders. There are traces of people living outsiders appearing in Jiang Country, which means you have to sweep all the way and kill all people living outsiders who appear on the open when you arrive in the wasteland."

Qingyi looked at Li Mengzhou seriously and said, "You are Mr. Qi from Ligong Sword Academy, and Qingjiu, the secret spy of Tianshu Academy. This is the task assigned to you by the head of the courtyard, and it is also the actual task of your Ligong Sword Academy."

"On the way to the Tianqi Wasteland, you may encounter unimaginable dangers, because the truth about the sudden appearance of people outside the mountain is unknown. It is impossible to deny whether there will be strong people outside the mountain behind the scenes. Once the task of destroying people outside the mountain begins, the enemy may also fight back."

"Your final task is to arrive in the wasteland and meet with the Tang Shen General. What should you do there? The Tang Shen General will arrange it. The qualified disciples of the mountain gate in the capital and various places will set off in different directions. However, like Chen Qiubai and Beizangfeng, Ouyang Shengxue must lead a team of people."

"You have two days to prepare. You will gather at the South City Gate and go up the Tianhe River. Just discuss the specific teams by yourself."

Li Mengzhou was a little stunned. It was easy to understand to kill the people outside the mountain along the way. The practitioners in the capital and even the disciples of the practice mountain gates in various places set off at the same time. The scope of sweeping was very wide, and there was no need to run back and forth between places.

However, the distance between the capital city and the western border is extremely far away. Even if you keep rushing, it will take several months. If you encounter people outside the mountain during the process, it will probably take one or two years or even two or three years from departure to the wasteland to return to the capital city.

Although it may take a long time, Li Mengzhou never thought of refusing.

Because he just happened to find a way to cross the threshold of the four realms, it is obviously a very suitable way to enter the world to practice. Maybe he can get some opportunities. Even if he does not have the task of killing outsiders in the mountains, he may consider leaving the capital and looking for an opportunity to break the threshold of the four realms.

But what we must consider is that the distance from the western border to the capital is farther than from Shuning Town to the capital. After giving Aunt Feng fifty taels of silver, it is impossible to use the remaining fifty taels as travel expenses.

He has made a promise that when the salary is paid, he will respect Aunt Feng's care for him. It is impossible for Aunt Feng to deduct Aunt Feng's money because of this matter.

In his mind, the most important thing to do on the way to perform a mission is to break the situation. He may not follow the team. In this way, fifty taels of silver will definitely not be enough.

Qingyi was just here to convey these things, and after that, he turned around and left. When Li Mengzhou came to his senses, he wanted to get some time off from Qingyi. He looked up and saw Qingyi's back disappearing at the gate of the yard.

After His Majesty's decree was issued, a special person went to the cultivation gate near the capital to inform him. A major operation in Jiang Guo made great progress, so many young men who claimed to be extraordinary began to rush to tear the outsiders apart, looking forward to going to tear apart the mountains.

But it remains to be considered who was torn apart by whom.

Li Mengzhou walked out of Chaosi Lane. He felt that he needed a partner who could help him in his practice.

......

The night gradually enveloped Langya City.

The bright moon hangs high, the stars are everywhere, and the bright light is blooming.

Some people are busy at night, pedestrians are walking through the streets and alleys, and rich young men are wandering around. The average sleeping time in Langya City is about the hour of Hai, and curfew is not available every day. The night view of Langya City is also very magnificent.

Manager Pei checked the account books in a room on the second floor of Xianfu Inn. Xianfu Inn is dedicated to serving practitioners. Although it provides free stays, there are also many types of consumption, and there will be certain profits every year.

Except for those who should be paid, most of them must be charged into the treasury, after all, it is the royal family's industry.

Because Xiao Zhinan fought with Ouyang Shengxue, the great master of Ligong Sword Academy, at the Jianhui, many outside practitioners flocked to the inner city's Immortal Palace, wanting to have a close look at Xiao's sword cultivator's appearance, which also brought a wave of benefits from the Immortal Palace. Manager Pei was naturally happy.

It’s a pity that Xiao Zhinan is not something that anyone can see if he wants to.

But Li Mengzhou saw it easily.
