After spending a few leisurely days at home, Jiang Liu started to get restless.
Realizing it had been a while since he'd gone out to explore, and since he now had the time, he decided to go out and inspect the area, and also take Murong Yin and Feng Yue out for a stroll.
Immediately upon conceiving the idea, Jiang Liu ordered his men to begin building two giant carriages.
He planned to have the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger pull him along, and then the five of them would sit inside the carriage and fly through the sky, traveling around Yunzhou and Xun Province.
After you've finished exploring, if you're still interested, you can also visit other states.
After Jiang Liu told Murong Yin and Feng Yue about his plan, the two women immediately became happy.
This is my first time Jianghu with Jiang Liu! Although we're traveling by flying through the air with several powerful Exotic Beast.
However, this is also to alleviate the fatigue of the journey, mainly to make things more convenient when passing through some deserted and uninhabited places.
Afterwards, the two women, each with their own personal maids, began preparations. After all, this trip wouldn't be just for ten days or half a month; according to Jiang Liu, it might be for a year or two.
As for the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion, both towers usually have their own responsible persons.
Jiang Liu was just afraid they would be lonely, and at first he didn't trust anyone, so he arranged for them to go in and manage things.
Since Jiang Liu handed over the Assassination List to Chen Qiansong and the Dark Star Hall to Lin Chi, the Listening Wind Pavilion and the Gentle Rain Pavilion have only been responsible for matters in Yunzhou and Xun Province.
The two states have been peaceful for the past few years, with nothing major happening, so they rarely interfere anymore.
Especially during this period, after Jiang Liu returned, Murong Yin and Feng Yue have been living a secluded life in their mansion by the mountain.
After several days of preparation, Jiang Liu, along with Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Cuier, and Xiao He, set off.
In the third year of the co-governance, on the thirteenth day of the sixth month, the weather was clear and sunny, with a cloudless sky.
Fire-Winged Monkey led the way, heading towards Xia County.
Following behind were the Frostwing Dragon pulling giant carriages, and lastly, the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, also pulling a giant carriage.
At this moment, Jiang Liu five companions were all sitting in the middle carriage. The huge carriage was divided into two sections: the outer section was for daily activities, and the inner section was for resting.
Inside the luxuriously decorated carriage, the floor was covered with soft Exotic Beast fur.
A table was placed in the middle of the carriage, and the table was covered with fruit and snacks.
At this moment, Jiang Liu was lying on his side in the carriage, his head resting on Feng Yue's lap.
Murong Yin was talking to Jiang Liu, while Feng Yue was feeding Jiang Liu a rare fruit, and she herself occasionally put one in her mouth.
Cuier and Xiao He were busy boiling water and making tea on the side.
The carriage behind contained everyday necessities and a place for Cuier and Xiaohe to rest.
Only now did Jiang Liu feel that he had found the meaning of living here.
Wasn't all the effort we put in before just for this moment of comfort?
Before long, Cuier and Xiao He had boiled the water and sat down at the table to brew tea.
Before long, a delicate aroma of tea filled the entire carriage.
Jiang Liu took a sniff and recognized it as excellent tea. This tea was a treasured collection of the Feng Family patriarch, kept for over a hundred years. Knowing that Jiang Liu and his companions were planning to go on a trip, the Jiang Liu specially brought it out for them to enjoy.
Jiang Liu then enjoyed the gifts with a clear conscience, since almost everything in his two carriages was a valuable gift from various powerful forces in Yunzhou.
Besides, good things are meant to be enjoyed to show their value, right? Do they have to be displayed and worshipped to show their worth?
Jiang Liu and his group set off from Yuncheng and did not arrive in Xia City Xia County for a month.
Along the way, they would stop in every city they passed through, stay overnight, and explore before continuing their journey the next day.
Seeing that the common people living in these cities were getting better and better under his governance, Jiang Liu felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Thinking back to when he first came into this world, facing those gang members, he felt powerless and content with just having enough to eat and wear.
Now that he can enable the common people under his rule to live a peaceful and prosperous life, it can be considered an achievement.
As for anything more, I'm not capable of doing it for the time being.
Upon entering Xia City, Jiang Liu could clearly sense the difference between Xia City and other cities.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Liu understood that this must be because of the Vast Righteous Sect.
It is estimated that the residents here have been influenced by the Vast Righteous Sect, which has led the common people to adopt the Vast Righteous Sect's helpful and altruistic style.
Jiang Liu led Murong Yin, Feng Yue, and others to the City Lord's Mansion.
When the disciples guarding the Vast Righteous Sect saw Jiang Liu and his group, they were momentarily stunned, but they quickly realized what was happening.
The two men quickly bowed to Jiang Liu and the others, and then one of them ran towards the gate, presumably to report something.
Jiang Liu and the others nodded and slowly walked towards the gate.
Before Jiang Liu, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, and the others even reached the council hall, a Jiang Liu figure was already rushing towards them.
She excitedly called out, "Jiang Liu, you've finally come to see me!"
Jiang Liu knew who it was without even looking— Li Qiaoyun —and he immediately felt a headache coming on.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Liu with mocking expressions.
Li Qiaoyun came to a sudden stop in front of the group, because she had already seen that Jiang Liu was not alone.
Four women followed behind him. The two in the back were clearly dressed as maids and could be disregarded. The two in the front must be Jiang Liu's wives.
Li Qiaoyun looked at Murong Yin carefully. Although she was very unconvinced, she had to admit that this woman was really too beautiful.
No wonder Jiang Liu has been so infatuated with her; he's made it so obvious, yet he's still pretending not to hear.
The other woman beside her was just as beautiful, and she also possessed a cold aura that would ignite a desire to conquer in any man.
Observing the two women in secret, Li Qiaoyun couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Jiang Liu had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing that Li Qiaoyun was not speaking and was staring at Murong Yin and Feng Yue, he thought she was up to something.
He quickly said, "Come, Li Qiaoyun, let me introduce you. These are my two wives, Murong Yin and Feng Yue."
Just as Jiang Liu was about to introduce Li Qiaoyun, Murong Yin interrupted Jiang Liu, "We know about her. We've known about Li Qiaoyun, the daughter of the Li Sect Leader, for a long time, but we've never had the chance to meet her. We've finally met her today."
Jiang Liu then remembered that Murong Yin was in charge of the Listening Wind Pavilion, so how could he not know Li Qiaoyun?
At this moment, Li Moran appeared at the entrance of the hall, looking at Jiang Liu and the others with a smile and said, "Nephew, what brings you here today to visit your uncle?"
Jiang Liu turned and walked towards the council hall, saying, "I don't have anything to do right now, so I came out for a walk."
