In the end, Jiang Youyu had to accept the fact that she had a new neighbor.

In order to prevent others from reneging on their promise, Ma Lanyun had actually put three times the purchase price on the house deed. This small courtyard had been sold for a total of two hundred taels. If he wanted to take this courtyard back, he would have to pay a total of six hundred taels.

Although Jiang Youyu was not lacking in money right now, that did not mean that he was willing to pay such a large sum of money to redeem the courtyard that was being bought by Mo Qing.

"I still have a man from Icemountain. Unless it's an Earth grade item, if he dares to bully me, I will make sure these people will not return." Jiang Youyu consoled herself in her heart. In any case, he definitely wouldn't pay six hundred silver taels to redeem that small courtyard.

This was what it meant to be unlucky. He had not even paid Jiang Youyu a single cent, and he had already been tricked into suffering a loss of 400 taels of silver.

"Alright, alright. Hurry up and fix the signboard of our Three Rivers Escort Office. Then, you can write two large posters and post them on the city gate." "We can't just sit back and do nothing. Since our first dart has already been fired, we must take advantage of the east wind to recruit people as soon as possible, and raise up our escort company's pride." Jiang Youyu had his own plans as well. The Three River Escort Office was the capital for him to live in the future. As long as he could support the Three River Escort Office, he would be able to do whatever he wanted as a shopkeeper.

He had heard from Ma Laiyun that the Three River Escort Office was under the name of the Wang family. The reason why the Wang family didn't pay much attention to the Three River Escort Office was because they didn't manage well in the past few years, and they also didn't pay much attention to this area, causing the Three River Escort Office to be in a bad state. However, as long as the three river Escorts were reopened, they would still have an advantage over the other Escorts.

Which gang in the Cyan Plains hadn't been cleaned up by the Black Abyss Army, and which Black Abyss Army belonged to the Abyss King's Mansion? They were the same as the Three River Escorts Office. If the Three Rivers Escort Office were to become a dart in the Azure Province, at least those gangsters who dominated the mountain would not dare to provoke the Three Rivers Escort Office. This was the advantage of the Three Rivers Escort Office. At the very least, it had a huge advantage over the other Escorts.

Ma Laiyun acknowledged and took the silver from Jiang Youyu before quickly leaving the house. The matter had been ruined. Although Jiang Youyu did not explain the reason, Ma Lanyun seemed as if he did not want that woman to buy that yard off of him.

"Could it be that Young Master caused this trouble again, and then this girl chased him to this house?" Ma Laiyun thought for a moment. There really was such a possibility. Whether it was the location or the environment, it was clearly not suitable for a woman to live in. However, the woman just looked at the house and without thinking too much, she bought the house.

From the attitude of the young master, it was obvious that he knew that woman. Perhaps they had some sort of relationship. Thinking of this, Ma Laiyun felt that it was necessary for him to make a trip to the Mansion.

Of course, Jiang Youyu didn't know that Ma Lai Yun had such mental activities. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much about it. Ma Laiyun followed him with such a determined heart. He didn't believe that the girl from the Palace of Hua-Yang would kill Jiang You and the fish if she didn't order him to do so. However, even Jiang Youyu did not expect Ma Laiyun's reasoning ability to be so powerful. It was a deduction based on just a few clues and a few words.

"Old Gu, Old Gu, we're going out to eat." In the entire Three River Escort Office, no one had the skill to cook. Even Ma Laiyun had tried to show off, saying that he had a few tricks up his sleeve. After Jiang Youyu gave him a chance to trust him, Ma Laiyun's cooking skills were now restricted by him. He had never eaten such a terrible meal before. Xi Yi, who was struggling to stay in the horse, ate a few mouthfuls. However, after that, he did not eat for an entire day.

Or did Gu Lao Gu remind Jiang to have fish, what can you expect a horse herder to make for a man to eat?

Afterwards, Jiang Youyu was led by Old Gu and ate a round of the Three River Escort Office.

Old Gu replied from afar. Only after waiting for a long time did he see Old Gu walk out from the escort office's backyard with a strange expression.

"Young master, that Si Xueyi is incredible. She's so young, but she's actually able to touch that tool's artistic conception." "The future of the Yangtze River pushes forward. Which one of those who comprehended sword intent was not in their forties or fifties? How many people would never be able to comprehend the meaning of that in their entire lives?" Old Gu sighed with a 'tsk tsk' in his mouth. He didn't notice in the slightest that Jiang Youyu's expression had become even more vexed.

"You said that he touched that Concept?" Jiang Youyu's voice trembled with despair. What kind of world was this? It was one thing for him to be so handsome while practicing swordsmanship, but he was just randomly making nonsense according to the profound words of those few old fellows from before.

Old Gu looked strangely at Jiang Youyu. When he saw the strange expression on her face, he gave her a definite answer before asking, "What's wrong?"

"You might not believe me if I told you. If I said that this brat had just randomly said a few words in the morning to touch this Concept, would you feel despair?" Jiang You Yu told Old Gu how he had talked to Si Xue Yi earlier this morning. After hearing what Jiang You Yu had said, his eyebrows trembled and he fell silent.

"Just as I expected, just like that sword fanatic, both are monstrous geniuses." Jiang Youyu sighed with emotion. Thinking back to how he had been tortured by that sword fanatic until he somehow won against that sword fanatic, now, he realized just how lucky he was back then.

Then, he recalled how much time he had spent trying to comprehend this concept. Compared to Si Xueyi, he was left speechless.

The sword Qis were chaotic, but if one were to pay close attention to them, there seemed to be a pattern to them. If an expert who had already touched the creative concept was present, he would be able to tell at a glance that the sword intent beside Si Xue Yi was a sword intent that originated from the heart.

Jiang Youyu raised her head weakly, as if she didn't see this shocking scene.

"Whatever. Old Gu, let's go take a look at the Azure Province's talent market." Jiang Youyu had really been shocked by Si Xueyi. How could it be like this? It was just a casual remark or two, but he was really able to touch this artistic conception. Jiang Youyu, who was planning on doing the first manpower expansion of the Three River Escort Office in the afternoon, had no choice but to advance his journey.

Old Gu followed Jiang Youyu out the door. Then, he looked at Jiang Youyu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What does this talent market mean?"

"Mm. It's similar to the Azure Province's Ju Yi Manor. Anyway, it's a place to recruit people." Jiang Youyu teasingly explained to him. Then, without caring if Old Gu understood what she said or not, he headed towards the prison at Broken Estuary in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou City was the overseer's residence in the Azure Province, and it was clearly written in the law of Da Ning. If it was the location of the overseer's residence, then there must be a Ju Yi Manor in the city. It was rumored that Da Ning had just been established. There were too many cases of martial artists breaking the military ban in the martial arts world. This caused the King of Da Ning, who was present in the imperial court, to have a headache. It was only when the current generation of people from the Southern Courtyard of Da Ning had appeared and invited the various forces in the martial arts world to lay down the rules that the chaos gradually improved.

And within the rules, the Jiede Mansion was a place of utmost importance.

As long as the disciples from various sects entered the world to train, the government officials would have to provide them with a business so that they could support themselves. Thus, the prefectural village had become a place for the officials to earn a living for the disciples of various sects. The government often recruited experts from various large sects to deal with matters where the government was not in a good position.

Of course, most of the time, the government did not need that many people. The small sects in the martial arts world had appeared one after another. There was no telling how many experts had come from these sects. For example, in the Azure Province, the government had increased the recruitment of the martial arts experts, but in the end, there were still many martial arts experts who had nothing to do.

Even the government could not handle such a small matter. There were few things that the government could not deal with in that state. Also, who knew how many disciples left the government every year to roam the martial world. Therefore, in order to suppress the demand, the government opened up the Ju Yi Manor. As long as there was a servant's need, they could recruit people into the Ju Yi Manor. This time, every year, the Wealthy Class families would come up with recruitment orders, whether it was to teach martial arts students from their families or to protect their families.

Thus, the Ju Yi Manor had become a real talent market. Of course, the talent market was very basic, and it was only for the disciples from those sects.

The Three River Escort Office was a large escort office, and it was currently filled with Jiang Youyu, Old Gu, and Housekeeper Ma. At most, it could be counted as a Si Xueyi. There were a total of four people. To Jiang Youyu, this number of people was really too little.

As such, the most important thing for the Three River Escort Office to do now was to expand their manpower. Jiang Youyu had already set her sights on the Ju Yi Manor.

Every day in the west of Qingzhou City, there would be many experts from the martial arts world gathered together. Occasionally, some martial arts experts would be led away by two stewards. Occasionally, there would also be two figures converging together.

When the two of them rushed to the Ju Yi Manor together with Old Gu, the sun had already risen high into the sky. Seeing the crowded crowd in front of them, Jiang Youyu felt a little regretful in his heart. Although he had the intention of avoiding the noon and didn't want to squeeze through the crowd like a sardines, since he had come, he didn't want to return home.

Old Gu was holding a sign. The words' Three River Escort Office 'written on his hand were crooked, but fortunately, it could be identified. Old Gu was pulled along as he squeezed into the crowd. After half a day, he finally made his way onto the temporary wooden platform set up for recruitment. After they got onto the small wooden platform, a commoner from the Qingzhou prefecture overseer's office, with a beard and dressed in a green official's robe, appeared in front of Jiang Youyu. Impatience was displayed on his face, and he took out a few wooden carvings of recruitment tokens, asking Jiang Youyu for money.

"A total of five recruitment warrants and ten silver." All those people who are recruited in this village must buy this recruitment token. Only after buying this recruitment token will the officials of the Azure Province help you to record the people you recruited and then give out directions to the experts you recruited in the martial arts world. It was not known when these disciples had started to practice martial arts in the various sects. However, they had very few positive seals of their status. Therefore, it was not realistic to want to travel in the martial world without them.

According to Da Ning's knowledge, as long as he left a region, he would have to make a record of himself and lead the way before he could travel in the martial arts world. Of course, although this was how the Book of Changes was written, there were no martial arts practitioners who followed it at the beginning. However, since the Southern Courtyard had been controlling the martial arts world more and more strictly, although they didn't want to, but the Southern Courtyard didn't want to offend the prisoners, so they slowly accepted the law of Da Ning.

He had heard the rumors more than once of how the Southern Courtyard would deal with those martial artists who didn't have a way to lure them out. It was impossible to leave the Southern Courtyard without taking a layer of skin off them.

Since Jiang Youyu had come to this place, she naturally knew the rules of this place. With a reluctant expression on her face, she took out some silver pieces and tossed it to the impatient servant, then she took the recruitment token from his hands.

Standing on this small high platform, Jiang Youyu was the one looking around the platform. There were indeed quite a few experts in the martial arts world. At the very least, there were quite a few who could stand on the eaves on both sides of this memorial hall. It was obvious that these people standing on the roof were all experts of the martial arts world. Most of them were from famous sects that were just beginning to grow red.

"Come, come, come. We, the Wang Clan of the Azure Province, are recruiting five Martial Masters. It would be best if they were Yellow Rank experts." If you have good skills, you can accept them. If you have anything that suits your needs, come and show it to me. " It was estimated that the Wang family of the Azure Province still had some status. As soon as this old butler shouted, over ten heads slowly walked to the Wang family's small wooden stage, then each of them reported their names to the family. Then, with a casual punch, a total of five people arrived in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Youyu listened attentively. These five people clearly came from a small, unranked sect. At the very least, she had never heard of these sects before. However, these five still managed to take a look. The other two had entered the yellow rank, and the rest were obviously not in the upper echelons. However, even though his skills were mediocre, his martial arts were not weak, and his punches were full of vigor.

"Young master, how are we supposed to confess? How are we supposed to shout these words?" Old Gu was at a loss. It was obvious that Jiang Youyu was looking at him with a gaze that made him want to shout out something. However, the most painful thing was that Old Gu also had every experience, so he didn't know what to say.

"Then, I'll say it once, you have to remember it." Jiang Youyu thought of the wonderful recruitment speech, but her face maintained a little excitement.
