There is a pavilion in the second courtyard.
Zhong Yan was making tea in front of the table, and the hot steam was rising, complementing the falling snow.
Li Shangwen walked over quickly and bowed: "My dear, my uncle!"
"Without courtesy, come forward and drink tea."
Zhong Yan took a look at him. His face was tanned a lot, and he was dressed in martial arts attire, making him look much more mature and steady.
"Went to see your mother?
"Yes, the child comes from the mother."
"What state have you reached?"
Li Shangwen was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "The third level of the day after tomorrow."
"Ha~" Zhong Yan laughed. His brother had already entered the innate realm, and he was still in the early stages of acquired life.
"I made an agreement with Qin Ben to transfer you to his account as a counselor, so you don't have to charge into battle."
"Thank you uncle!"
Li Shangwen was not surprised. He had already guessed his uncle's arrangements for him.
"My son has been familiar with the art of war and strategies in recent years, and has gained a lot of knowledge about the war in Wei. He will definitely live up to his uncle's high expectations and cultivation."
"That's good. There is no false scholar under the great reputation. Zhang Shun came from the Hanlin Academy. He was known as the 'Ghost Scholar' at the age of sixteen. He entered Prince Ning's Mansion as an aide to the guest minister. He followed Qin Ben for many years. If you have ideas, don't rush to speak out. , assess the situation and listen to other people’s opinions.”
"Yes, my child understands."
"Also, does Chen Xiaorong remember?"
Li Shangwen nodded and said: "I have the impression that he is a general of the city lord's palace army, Qin Ben's confidant, and has the eighth level of innate realm."
"Breaking through the ninth level."
"So fast?!" Li Shangwen was shocked. He heard that Chen Xiaorong was nearly ten years younger than Qin Ben.
Zhong Yan nodded and said: "He has secretly betrayed information to me many times. Qin Ben has instructed this matter, but he does not know everything."
Li Shangwen blinked and asked, "Is he a double agent?"
Zhong Yan said: "He also sold Qin Ben's request for someone to intercept and kill the retinue mage to Feixian Pavilion. I'm not sure yet whether Qin Ben and Feixian Pavilion have any cooperation. There is a high probability that they don't. This person can be your successor in the future." hand."
This guy is a three-faced sect... Li Shangwen took a breath, his eyes flickered and said: "Okay, I know what to do!"
After a stick of incense.
"Uncle, take care!"
Li Shangwen bowed again.
Zhong Yan stood on the promenade, watching him go further and further away in the wind and snow, and sighed in his heart, which could be regarded as an explanation for Li Henian.
Li Shangwu is in charge of the Li Mansion. Under the wings of the Zhong Mansion, he has both children and everything goes smoothly.
Li Shangwen, follow Qin Ben closely, and if nothing happens, he should be able to achieve great achievements in the future and shine on his family.
a long time.
Qiu Jinxi came over, his eyes were a little red, he had obviously cried.
Zhong Yan said: "Shangwen has his own path, I have arranged it for him, don't worry."
"Yes, I understand, thank you uncle."
Qiu Jinxi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, took a cloth bag from the maid's hand and handed it over.
"The child Naofumi left behind. I have no use for it, so I gave it to my uncle to deal with."
Zhong Yan swept away with his consciousness, and found that there were more than 700 spiritual stones inside. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that the boy Li Shangwen must have bought them from gambling at the Colosseum.
"Keep your child's thoughts to yourself. If you encounter problems, ask the monks and sisters in the mansion to help. It will be smooth and smooth."
"This...is, uncle."
"It's cold, so wear more clothes and go to your place for dinner in the evening."
Qiu Jinxi was startled, her pretty face turned slightly red, and her whole body exuded the brilliance of a mature woman. She leaned forward and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
The maid stepped forward to help her put on her cloak, opened her umbrella and escorted her away.
After leaving the courtyard and getting on the carriage, the maid whispered: "Madam, the flower petals in our room are old, do you want your servant to replace them with fresh ones?"
Hearing this, Qiu Jinxi's heart skipped a beat, and his waist felt moist. After more than a year, his uncle once again favored him and accepted his son's love.
"Well, get some fresh ingredients and I'll cook them myself."
"Yes, ma'am."
Not long after, Qiu Jinxi let out a sigh.
"Why do you sigh, madam?"
"I'm getting old. I'll be 40 in one year, and most of my life has passed."
The maid raised her head and looked at her master's face. Her face was charming, her skin was delicate, smooth and white, unlike someone who was almost forty. Even thirty seemed too much.
"No way, Madam is young."
Qiu Jinxi looked down at the cloth bag next to him, his eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Stop!"
"What's wrong ma'am?"
Qiu Jinxi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Mrs. Yao's house first."
If you have money, why not spend it? More than 700 spiritual stones can buy a beauty elixir that can last for twenty years.
…
…
The third day of the new year.
The new city lord arrived, a woman.
The whole city was in an uproar.
The first female city lord in the history of Yan Kingdom!
Then the news continued to spread that the female city lord was a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining.
The corner of Zhong Yan's mouth twitched, he was just trying to cause a war on purpose!
Previously, I learned from Qin Benke that the Keqing Mansion will be independent of the City Lord's Mansion, supervising the monks in the city and responsible for harvesting the prayer beads.
Now it's even more ruthless, the entire city is controlled by monks.
Needless to say, the same applies to other cities that fully implement the Keqing government system.
This means that the sect and the cultivating family have complete control over the resources of the beads.
However, there are one hundred and twenty-seven cities in the Yan Kingdom, some large and some small. The city level is determined by tax revenue, which may not necessarily have a large population, but the prayer beads are determined by the population.
The original stable division of interests in which mortals ruled the cities would inevitably collapse and be reshuffled.
The birth of a new type of cultivation resource has triggered a war led by monks, which is about to sweep across the entire Xianwu Continent.
"Capital, how can it care about the life and death of the people at the bottom!"
Zhong Yan summoned everyone in the mansion and held a meeting that lasted two hours.
Three days later.
Qin Ben led the army and rushed to the front line with an army of 200,000.
News came back from Zhong Mansion one after another.
"Sir, the four gate defenders only changed defenses and did not go out with the army. Liang Dutong is still stationed at the south gate and was promoted to partial general!"
"Husband, Uncle Li who was sweeping the floor at the south gate has not appeared since he disappeared half a month ago. He should have left with Qin Ben."
"Husband, the name of the new city lord is Xia Xinzhu. She is a direct descendant of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. She is the seventeenth princess of the current dynasty. She was a disciple of the Chiyang Sect and participated in the Wei Kingdom's campaign..."
"Sir, there are more than 50,000 troops left at the school grounds in the northern suburbs. Including the troops brought by Xia Xinzhu, the number is just over 60,000. The city lord's palace has informed us that more troops will be mobilized from Wangdi and Heishui."
"..."
Some people in Zhong Mansion are happy and some are worried.
for example.
Ye Weiwei, who had been unblocked by Yuan Ziyi, was in a good mood. Qin Ben left, but she had not been contacted during her stay in Zhong Mansion.
Tang Xiaoshu, who had been lurking in Zhongfu for many years, was restless. Qin ran away without leaving any explanation, turning her into a rootless duckweed.
evening.
Zhong Yan was lying in a wooden shape, looking like he had no love in his life and was at your mercy.
"Come on, tonight is all yours, no need to pity me!"
Yu Qingyao bit her lip and stared at him for a long time. With a bang, her clothes exploded into pieces and she rushed forward.
"I told you to go without me and drain you dry!"
…
Thirty-two courtyards, courtyard No. 16.
Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu were lying on the bed, with a romance book in front of them, flipping through the pages.
a long time.
Li Jingqiu turned his head and glanced, then continued to stare at the script, and called out: "Sister Xiaohuan."
"Um?"
"I also want to see the fairy city. Can you tell your husband to take me with you?"
Jiang Huanzheng was fascinated and said casually: "I can't be my husband's boss."
Li Jingqiu was silent for a moment and said: "My husband loves you so much. As long as you open your mouth, no matter what, I will support you."
Jiang Huan blinked and was slightly startled. These words felt strange and made her heart feel inexplicably.
She moved her body, looked at Li Jingqiu and said seriously: "I'm sorry, sister Jingqiu, my husband must have his own plans for making such arrangements."
Seeing her good sister purse her lips and feel depressed, she quickly sat up and said, "Otherwise, you and I will go see your husband tomorrow morning, and I will speak, but I can't guarantee that my husband will agree."
Li Jingqiu smiled, hugged Jiang Huan and kissed her face.
"good!"
"Thank you, Sister Xiaohuan!"
"you are so kind to me!"
After a bit of fun and fun.
Jiang Huan looked at the script again, but his eyes were a little wandering. He felt that there was a barrier between him and sister Jingqiu, and he was not as close as before.
I don’t know since when, sister Jingqiu changed.
He became irritable, flipped over the dining table, and hit the servants.
She became less sensible and instigated herself to take her to have sex with her husband when they met.
Don’t you know it will affect your husband’s practice?
Do you really think that you and your husband do that kind of thing all day long?
"Well, it seems, it's almost the same. I have classes every day~"
…
Early the next morning.
Zhong Yan took the trouble to explain the precautions to Yu Qingyao again.
"I know, you've said it eight thousand times, eight thousand times!"
"This trip takes a long time, so I'll leave it to you at home."
"Um."
Yu Qingyao pursed her lips and shed tears. She put her arms around her husband's neck and hugged her tightly, whispering: "Be safe, I will miss you every day and wait for you to come back..."
It was the first time after marriage that she had to be separated for such a long time. She felt tight in her chest and panicked.
At this time, Jiang Huan's voice came from outside.
Yu Qingyao wiped the corners of her eyes and put on a smile: "Come in."
"Husband, good morning, sister Qingyao!"
Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu walked in together and bowed together.
"Good morning, Xiaohuan, are you ready?"
"Get ready, Sister Qingyao!"
Jiang Huan looked at her face and then at Zhong Yan, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"You guys talk."
Yu Qingyao said with a smile and went out.
Li and Jiang bowed to see each other off, and the latter stepped forward to hold Zhong Yan's hand.
"Husband, would you please take sister Jingqiu with you? Huan'er and sister Jingqiu will serve you together, so they will be more attentive."
Zhong Yan looked at Li Jingqiu who looked hopeful.
She immediately knelt down and said: "Please husband, please take Qiu'er with you. Qiu'er promises to be obedient and not cause you any trouble!"
Jiang Huan, who had been a maid every day, had long since lost her original cautiousness as a maid. She shook her husband's arm and said coquettishly, "How are you, husband? Sister Jingqiu has been staying in the house and has never gone out much. She just took this opportunity to go out and see something." "
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and hesitated.
Jiang Huan wrinkled his nose and pursed his lips and said, "Huan'er is practicing hard, and I haven't played with sister Jingqiu for a long time. It's time to talk on the road. Okay, husband, Huan'er begs you!"
Zhong Yan admitted that she couldn't resist such a charming and charming beauty.
"That's all, let's go together then, Qiu'er, you pretend to be the maid."
Li Jingqiu said happily: "Thank you, husband!"
However, she was not as happy as she imagined. Jiang Huan could really make her husband change his long-decided decision, act coquettishly, and just say a few words.
Jiang Huan said happily: "Thank you, husband!"
However, she felt guilty and secretly swore: Just this once, Huan'er would never go against her husband's wishes again!
