Chapter 26 26, Western Dragon King, Goodbye Yuhuan White Camel Villa. Ainur, Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law, whose Chinese name is Li Mingyue, was wearing a brocade jacket with gold flowers, a bright red pomegranate skirt, calfskin boots, and her black hair was tied into many small braids decorated with various small pieces of jade ornaments such as turquoise, Khotan jade, and jasper. She rode her horse to the gate of the villa with two female wolf riders as guards. She dismounted with a swift movement, threw the whip and reins to the hands of the farmhand who was coming to meet her, and rushed into the gate. She trotted all the way to the accounting office, and as soon as she entered the door, she said crisply to Ouyang Lie who was doing the accounting: "My husband, I just went to the tavern in town to drink, and heard a caravan that had just arrived talking about Brother Feng's name. I heard that many tribes now use Brother Feng's name to scare disobedient children. The people of Gaochang even gave him a nickname, called 'White-robed Shura', saying that he killed people without getting blood on his body, and even if he chopped off many heads, his white clothes would still be spotless and as clean as new..." Gaochang worships Buddhism, and most of the cruel and brutal killers are given titles such as Shura or Yaksha. If they are very powerful, they are even given the title of Dragon King. Of course Ouyang Lie also knew these rumors. Recently, tribes have come to offer women, cattle and sheep from time to time. They pay homage to Ouyang Lie and the old owner of the manor with great fear and trepidation, and ask for a white camel flag to take back. There were also caravans that originally had no need to pass through Baituo Mountain, but came here specifically to admire its reputation and paid to display a flag of recognition from Baituo Mountain Villa. So Ouyang Lie naturally knew what kind of notoriety his second brother had created in the past month. As for the killing of Xiao Wuwei and his son, who were sent by the Liao Kingdom to supervise Gaochang State, Ouyang Lie did not take it to heart. With the current strength of Western Liao, it is already struggling to suppress the repeated civil uprisings in the country and deal with the Arab states in the west. How can it have the spare energy to send troops on an expedition to punish White Camel Villa? As for Gaochang Kingdom...
Although Gaochang was relatively wealthy, it was a small country with a small population and weak military force. Moreover, unlike the countries in the Central Plains, the rulers of the small countries in the Western Regions had ruling power basically limited to the capital and the territories of the royal family. The rest of the territory was governed by the various tribes and local powerful people in the country. If the monarch wants to use military force, he has to discuss it with the leaders of various tribes and powerful clan chiefs. If they fail to reach an agreement, he will not be able to recruit any soldiers except his own troops. Ouyang Lie's father-in-law was the patriarch of the Gaochang noble family, the Li clan, and he also served as the Minister of Finance in the Gaochang capital. With his father-in-law mediating, or threatening him, even if the King of Gaochang had some courage, he would not dare to send troops to punish Baituo Villa. Ouyang Lie even heard from the caravan that Xiao Wuwei's head was hung on the south gate of Gaochang's capital for a whole month before the king of Gaochang dared to order people to take down the head and bury it. At this moment, looking at his little wife's sparkling eyes and rosy face, Ouyang Lie was not jealous because of his wife's praise for his second brother. He just smiled and said: "I have heard that many people nicknamed my second brother 'Blood Hand Yaksha'. Also, because he and the Eighteen Wolf Riders all rode on the Western Extreme Horses, and the man and the horse were like dragons, some people called him 'The Western Extreme Dragon King'." "Blood-handed Yaksha? The Dragon King of the Western Extreme?" Li Mingyue's eyes lit up and she praised: "These two nicknames are much more impressive than the White-robed Shura!" As she spoke, she came behind Ouyang Lie's chair, put her arms around his neck, put her chin on his shoulder, and said in a tender voice: "My dear, Brother Feng is so majestic because of his great martial arts skills. Don't sit there all day, go out and practice martial arts!" Ouyang Lie shook his head helplessly, "I don't have a strong physique like my second brother..." "Wouldn't it be better if you practice more?" "If I practice more, I'll just get hurt." "Then you can go horseback riding with me, right?" "Tomorrow, there are still many accounts to settle today..." "Humph, all you do is deal with accounts and money all day long! You won't even ride with me." "Don't be angry, Mingyue'er. I will accompany you on horseback tomorrow morning, okay? If you have nothing to do now, you can go to the backyard and teach those tribal girls the rules. Over the past month, the tribes conquered by Brother Feng have sent nearly a hundred young girls. As the mistress, you must discipline them well..." "Humph, do you want to wait for me to discipline them so that I can choose a few beautiful concubines from them?"
Ouyang Lie was speechless. With his physique, he could barely cope with just this little wife, so how could he dare to have a few more concubines? Of course, a man cannot show weakness, Ouyang Lie just swore: "Don't worry, Mingyue'er. I will never take a concubine in my lifetime." "What about Brother Feng?" "I get worried when I talk about this. My second brother is not interested in women at all, and I have never seen him show any interest in any woman... If he is willing to choose a few concubines, it would be a good thing." …… "Brother Ouyang, why do you always wear white clothes?" In the illusion, Yang Yuhuan, who entered the Tongtian illusion for the second time, put her hands behind her back, looked at Ouyang Feng with a smile, and two sweet dimples appeared on her pink cheeks. Today she was wearing a crimson polo shirt with narrow sleeves and a round collar, the hem of which did not reach her knees. She had a jade-studded leather belt around her waist, silk hakama, black leather boots, and a scarf to tie her hair. She was dressed like a noble knight, giving people a sense of being both heroic and beautiful. Ouyang Feng also noticed that her bust seemed to have shrunk a little today, obviously because it was tied tightly with cloth. "Because cotton is abundant in our area." Ouyang Feng looked at this beautiful woman with natural charm and couldn't help but feel the surge of desire in his heart. Unfortunately, this is an illusion. You can see and touch it, but you can’t eat it. Ouyang Feng could only use this opportunity to sharpen his will. "Cotton cloth?" Yang Yuhuan thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile, "So you are from Lingnan!" During the Tang Dynasty, only a small amount of kapok cloth was produced in Lingnan. Due to its rarity, its value was comparable to Shu brocade. "I am not from Lingnan. The cotton cloth here is not kapok, but grass cotton." Ouyang Feng explained: "We have a large production of cotton cloth here. It's cheap and naturally pure white, clean and elegant. I wear a lot of clothes, so I wear mostly undyed white clothes. I might not be able to exchange my clothes for your brocade shirt even if I change them by 100 sets." Cotton cloth is the flagship product of Gaochang Uighurs. The cotton from this area was also very famous in Ouyang Feng's previous life. Baituo Mountain is located in the cotton cloth producing area. Naturally, the value of cotton cloth is not even one hundredth that of silk brocade. "There are actually cheap cotton cloths?" Yang Yuhuan exclaimed in her heart that it was amazing, but on second thought, she felt that it was natural - Brother Ouyang was the master of illusions, and no matter how magical the world he lived in was, it was probably not surprising. Then she smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang Feng, you are really frugal." "I am not frugal when practicing martial arts. When I am at home, I eat a lot of meat, drink medicinal soup, and take medicinal baths every day. I just don't care much about my clothes." In fact, Ouyang Feng is quite particular about the way he dresses. At least, even when he was traveling across three thousand miles, he would change into new clothes frequently. This was the secret to his white clothes always being spotless and as shiny as new. "Speaking of martial arts training, I haven't been lazy this month!" Yang Yuhuan smiled brightly, revealing her white teeth, and her eyes were also a little proud, "I have already cultivated the inner Qi!" As she spoke, she looked at Ouyang Feng expectantly, as if waiting for him to praise her. "Not bad." Ouyang Feng nodded slightly. "Just good?" Yang Yuhuan was a little disappointed.
Ouyang Feng asked back: "How do you want me to praise you?" Yang Yuhuan pursed her red lips and said quietly: "After saying goodbye to you last month, I cultivated my first strand of internal energy the night I left the illusion. In the following month, I practiced diligently every day, and followed the prescription you gave me, insisting on taking the medicine soup and bathing in the medicine. My internal energy accumulated more and more, and I can now activate my internal energy to strengthen my legs and feet, so that I can jump higher and run faster. With such an achievement, you should at least praise me as a genius, right?" Ouyang Feng said: "But I haven't seen your achievements in this month's training." Yang Yuhuan raised her chin and said, "Then you'll have to wait and see!" (End of this chapter)
