Chapter 275 Set off to the land of alienation
If more than 200,000 taels of gold flow into the jerky market at once, it will actually easily cause price fluctuations in high-end jerky.
In the past, Zhao Ya might not even be able to buy the amount he wanted.
After all, although the jerky market in Yanducheng is huge, high-end jerky is ultimately limited.
But don’t worry about that now.
With the help of Jingzhao Mansion, Jindaoyuan and even the Yun Family, Zhao Ya quickly exchanged 200,000 taels of gold for high-end dried meat suitable for his own consumption.
Looking at the big bag full of dried meat in front of him, Zhao Ya finally understood why some people like to hoard food.
Because this feeling of having food in hand and no panic in my heart is really great.
Although I really want to challenge my limits and try what it feels like to eat dried meat until full.
But in the end, Zhao Ya was still reluctant to do that.
After sorting all the luggage into categories, Zhao Ya booked several banquet tables outside to entertain his masters Lu Dingtai, Shang Jingchuan, senior brother Miao Shaocheng and others.
Of course, Wang Tiancheng from Golden Blade Academy and Xu Nianran from Wu Nian Academy are also among them.
There were even many who were not invited but came on their own after hearing the news.
As a result, the banquet tables were packed to the brim, so Shang Luoluo quickly sent someone to book two more tables so that everyone could sit down.
Needless to say, there was a lot of drinking and drinking during the banquet, but few people dared to drink with Zhao Ya.
Because they have all heard about Zhao Ya's drinking capacity. He is truly capable of not getting drunk after a thousand drinks. Who would ask for such disgrace?
Just when the wine was in full swing, Chen Xiaoer suddenly ran in from outside.
"Brother Zhao, someone is coming outside."
"Oh? Who's coming?"
Zhao Ya was a little confused because Chen Xiaoer's expression was very strange.
But when he got up and came to the courtyard, his doubts were cleared.
Because this person who came is indeed somewhat unusual.
Yan Xizhao put down the gift in his hand with a slight smile on his face.
"I heard you were leaving, so I came over to see you. What? You're not welcome?"
Zhao Ya laughed loudly and stepped out of the way, "How could you not welcome me? It's so welcoming. Come in quickly."
At this time, everyone in the room also noticed Yan Xizhao's arrival, and couldn't help but burst into a low uproar.
To say who is the most powerful person in Yandu City at this moment, it must be Yan Xizhao.
After all, she has an elite army under her command, and she has the backing of Xijian Villa. In addition, she is also a member of the Dayan royal family. Putting these things together, one can imagine how powerful she must be.
There are even rumors in the market that she will soon ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, becoming the first female emperor since the founding of the Yan Dynasty.
No one expected that she would come, so they were naturally surprised.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xizhao just shook his head slightly and said, "I won't go in. Can you take up your time for a while? I have a few words to say to you."
"good!"
Zhao Ya followed Yan Xizhao to the outside of the courtyard and walked slowly along a path.
At this time, the leaves have long since withered, and the grass on the roadside has withered, leaving a desolate scene.
Yan Xizhao lowered his head and walked silently.
If she didn't speak, Zhao Ya would naturally remain silent.
Because he knew that Yan Xizhao definitely had something to do with him.
Sure enough, not long after leaving, Yan Xizhao raised his head and said, "Are you going to the Land of Transformation this time?"
"Um."
"I really envy you. In fact, I have always wanted to go outside and have a look, but unfortunately I never had the chance." Yan Xi looked at her with a look of fascination.
"I can't go now, but I can go later." Zhao Ya said.
"In the future..." Yan Xizhao smiled bitterly, "Do you think I will have a chance in the future?"
Speaking of this, Yan Xizhao raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
"Nowadays, many people see me holding great power and think that I must be very prosperous and enjoy myself. In fact, how do they know that if possible, I would rather do nothing and just be a warrior."
Zhao Ya stopped talking, because no one else could comment on this kind of thing.
Yan Xizhao felt that this was a kind of torture, but he didn't know how many people wanted to endure this kind of torture but were not qualified, and some even lost their lives because of it.
For example, that King of Qi Yan Sifu.
However, Zhao Ya still didn't understand what Yan Xizhao was planning to do with him.
Is it just for simple complaints?
"The purpose of my visit is actually very simple. I just want you to help me ask what Shang Jingchuan, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, thinks."
"What do you think? What do you mean?" Zhao Ya was a little strange.
"It's about whether he has the idea of taking charge of the court, being a highly respected minister, or even... ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor." Yan Xizhao said seriously.
Zhao Ya never dreamed that Yan Xi would ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and then became happy.
"I don't even need to ask, do you think he might have that idea?"
Yan Xizhao hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, "Probably not."
"Don't worry, he definitely won't have that kind of idea. For him, taking good care of the people in the capital is his biggest responsibility. As for other things, he definitely hasn't thought about it."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ya glanced at Yan Xizhao, "What? Is your master putting pressure on you?"
Yan Xizhao nodded in great distress, "Yes, my master and others want me to be regent for a few years and then ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, but I really don't want to be this so-called emperor."
"You should also know very well what kind of situation Dayan is in now, especially after experiencing this great chaos, Dayan has actually been torn apart. Even if I become the empress, I will only be in charge of one county in the capital. "
"The key point is that if this happens, my martial arts future will be completely cut off. I am really unwilling to do this."
Again, Zhao Ya couldn't comment on this at all.
Because this kind of thing is not something you talk about casually.
It was not right for me to persuade her to become emperor, nor was it right to persuade her to give up.
So Zhao Ya wisely kept silent.
Yan Xizhao naturally understood this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Do you think I'm a little too close to you?"
Then, without waiting for Zhao Ya to deny it, Yan Xizhao continued.
"To be honest, when I first saw you in that cave in Yunxiao County, you were just a warrior who had not even broken through the four realms. But I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would be far away. More than me."
Recalling the past, Yan Xizhao was filled with emotion.
Zhao Ya just smiled and said, "Miss Yan, you are too polite. I may be better than you, but I won't be far better than you."
Yan Xizhao shook his head, "There is no need to be modest. If you ask me to kill Xie Tianfeng, I will never be able to do it."
Having said this, Yan Xizhao had already regained his composure.
"Since Shang Jingchuan cannot have this intention, please tell him that I am willing to cooperate with him to jointly ensure the stability of Yandu City and the safety of the people."
Zhao Ya nodded seriously, "Okay, I will definitely bring this sentence."
Yan Xizhao left.
Zhao Ya returned to the wine shop.
The people who come here to drink are not ordinary people.
Therefore, no one asked him what Yan Xizhao said to him.
After the banquet dispersed, Zhao Ya met Shang Jingchuan alone, and then repeated Yan Xizhao's words to Shang Jingchuan.
Shang Jingchuan was not surprised, "It is reasonable for Xijian Villa to let Yan Xizhao ascend the throne as the empress. After all, if such a large capital is handed over to others, how can Xijian Villa be willing to do so."
"Actually, I also support Yan Xizhao's ascension to the throne. After all, compared to the late emperor and the dead Yan Sifu, this woman is much more reliable."
"So you tell her that I am willing to cooperate with her, and even after she becomes emperor, I am willing to surrender."
"good!"
After coming out of Shang Jingchuan, Zhao Ya met Lu Dingtai who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master."
"Well, what did the girl say?" Lu Dingtai had some vague guesses, but he was still not sure, so he asked.
So Zhao Ya explained the situation.
Lu Dingtai nodded after listening, "This girl is quite courageous. Giving up at the request of such a powerful person is not something ordinary people can do."
Then he looked at Zhao Ya, "I have been thinking about it these two days, and finally decided not to return to Yunxiao County for the time being."
"This place is relatively close to the Land of Huawai. Zui'er will definitely be willing to wait for you here. In addition, Lao Mo is also here, and the cultivation resources here are richer than those in Yunxiao County, so I decided to stay here for three years until you come back. I will return to Yunxiao County after that."
Zhao Ya knew that most of the reasons given by Lu Dingtai were excuses, and the real reason was for himself.
"What about Yunxiao County?"
"There's nothing going on over there. With your senior sister and second senior brother guarding us, there won't be any trouble."
"Thank you so much, Master." Zhao Ya thanked him sincerely.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you and I need to say thank you? Let's finish the matter quickly, and then go to the Outer Land to get down to business."
"clear."
After Lu Dingtai left, Zhao Ya did not go to Yan Xizhao. Instead, he wrote a note clearly stating what Shang Jingchuan meant, and then asked Chen Xiaoer to send it over.
After this matter was settled, Zhao Ya stayed in the capital for another three days.
During these three days, Zhao Ya was hardly idle, spending them all in various drinking bureaus.
finally.
After a night of tenderness, Zhao Ya quietly got up while Zui'er was sleeping, picked up the luggage he had prepared and left.
But Zhao Ya didn't know that as soon as he left the room, Zui'er, who was "sleeping soundly", had large, pearl-like teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and soon wetted the pillowcloth underneath.
In another room, Shang Luoluo, who had not slept all night, heard the sound of the door opening and muttered something softly.
"It must be safe!"
According to Zhao Ya's footsteps, he walked westward after leaving the capital city of Yan. After about eight days, he left the territory of Dayan and entered the chaotic separatist zone.
The environment here is harsh, and no country has been formed since ancient times. Only many people who cannot survive in Dayan or other places will come here to escape.
Over time, many large and small forces have formed here.
However, the largest of these forces is only the size of a small city, and the smallest one is even a village, which is not a big deal at all.
Zhao Ya has always suspected that this was a situation deliberately caused by Dayan.
Because this chaotic situation is most beneficial to Dayan.
