As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me

"City Lord, someone has found me and wants to make a deal."

Seeing his old friend's unusual behavior, Shen Rufeng, who had just come out of seclusion yesterday, was startled, "Old Zhao, someone has asked to trade with the market now?"

"No, City Lord, the other party specifically asked for you, and wanted to..."

Commander Zhao hesitated for a while, and finally said with a red face: "It is my fault. I accidentally let out the fact that you have Ningzhen Flower."

"Ning Zhenhua? Come on, stop acting like you've made a big mistake. You're not the only one who knows about this."

Shen Rufeng waved his hand generously. The main function of Ningzhen Flower is to renew spiritual roots. It is a rare spiritual plant, but not very precious.

If it were in the past, the city lord might have treated this as a treasure and exchanged it for resources to help him advance.

But now that he has achieved his long-cherished wish and has a bright future, he naturally won't care about this useless thing.

Snapped!

So, Shen Rufeng didn't even think about it and casually put the things on the table, "Old Zhao, send it to Qi Yu, and tell the buyer to follow the rules of the market."

Use this to help the market take the first step. Master will definitely be happy when he knows about this.

"Yes."

Finding that the city lord did not blame him, Commander Zhao took the box and left, feeling half grateful and half ashamed.

The news that the city lord had the Ningzhen Flower was not leaked by him, but a younger generation in his family heard about it from somewhere and stood up for his friend without knowing the consequences.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao secretly made up his mind and decided to reshape the family tradition.

City Lord Shen was of course well aware that it was impossible for a reliable old friend to make such a low-level mistake, and he must be taking the blame for someone else.

He lightly brushed the matter aside, using the other party's merit in guarding Blue Moon City to offset his mistake.

Neither reward nor punishment.

Ever since he was slashed by his master, Shen Rufeng's state of mind has changed. His horizons have broadened a lot and he can look at many things more calmly.

"My lord, can I come in?"

However, this does not apply to the owner of this voice.

The city lord feels that he has done his best for the Great Zhou, and both parties get what they need, and no one owes anyone anything.

But he didn't know what attitude he should use to face his wife and children.

Whether it is the many years of sincere companionship or the act of raising the child wholeheartedly without anger or resentment, it makes people as fellow Taoists and fathers feel ashamed.

"Madam, this is also your home."

Hearing this slightly conflicted tone, Meng Qinglan, who was holding the tray, was stunned for a moment.

She could feel that her husband seemed a little different.

At this moment, the Princess of Da Zhou, who exuded gentleness all over her body, had a superior appearance, and was regarded as "love-brained" by the younger generation, couldn't help but smile.

If Meng Yunqing saw that kind of smile, Her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely have a brain freeze.

Because she had never seen her aunt and uncle get along, she just unilaterally thought that her elder was love-brained.

For example, now, Meng Qinglan sat in her own seat as usual. After serving her husband a bowl of soup, her eyes did not show any obsession, and she did not even look at him.

Shen Rufeng, who was sitting next to him, silently picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. He found that his wife's cooking skills were still up to par, and expressed his opinion for the first time in many years.

"Ma'am, actually, the soup doesn't need to be so salty."

"is it?"

Meng Qinglan turned her head away, with a puzzled expression on her face, "I thought that my husband liked this. I will put less salt next time."

If you don’t tell me, how would I know? If I don’t know, I would naturally think that you like it!

There is a kind of person who is always calm and gentle, speaking softly, even when he is angry.

Facing the exceptionally stable Meng Qinglan, Shen Rufeng only hated himself for having an extra mouth.

He didn't dare to speak any more, so he picked up the soup bowl and started drinking it by himself.

"Madam, I want to take Chaoer back to pay respect to his grandparents."

After a long time, Meng Qinglan, who was about to collect the bowls, paused, then picked up the tray as if he didn't understand the hidden meaning of the words.

Today's soup has been delivered, and the wife has fulfilled her responsibility.

But before leaving, she nodded to her husband and said, "This is filial piety. Chaoer should really go back and take a look."

Seeing his wife leave after she finished speaking without mentioning him at all, Shen Rufeng was stunned on the spot.

Is this the end?

"that……"

"Husband, is there anything else?"

The extremely clear gaze made Shen Rufeng feel as if his mouth was sewn shut and he could not say anything.

Seeing this, Meng Qinglan did not stay and went straight out of the hall.

She can treat her husband sincerely, fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and a mother, and give enough face to the city lord and the prince consort in front of outsiders without losing herself.

Meng Qinglan is first a living person, secondly a princess of the Great Zhou, and finally someone’s wife and mother.

If you don’t tell me, I won’t know anything!

The beautiful figure floated away, and Shen Rufeng kept his hands raised, staring blankly ahead.

In the end, he let out a sigh of resignation, just like Uncle Kun did not long ago, "I really deserve it!"

After that, the yard became completely quiet.

The city lord who was sighing alone would never have imagined that at the corner of the corridor, Meng Qinglan not only heard his sigh, but also had a smile on his face that he had never shown before.

He would never have thought that his wife could actually transmit sound through telepathy, a method that only cultivators above the Spirit Transformation stage could master.

[Uncle Qi, withdraw the troops. You don't have to keep an eye on Blue Moon City anymore.]

[Yes. Miss, there is news from the capital that your ancestor may have already taken that step.]

[Really? Who brought about this change? ]

【Young Master Lin.】

Lin Xiao?

When Meng Qinglan learned who caused the accident, his pupils trembled and he immediately thought of something.

[Uncle Qi, has the other party been to the ancestral land? Has anything changed about him? ]

[Young Master Lin did go in, but he came out not long after. There was no sign of him entering the Dao. Miss, the God-Jian Realm in front of the ancestral temple failed to detect any changes in Young Master Lin's luck. She should have gained nothing.]

After getting this answer, Meng Qinglan felt only half relieved.

After all, Xiao's qi-gazing technique was well-known, and outsiders were not aware of its power.

If by some chance, the art of looking at qi can really capture good fortune, and Young Master Lin happens to have learned it, then once she goes there, she will be like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

Judging from the other person's behavior, he will never leave until he is full.

Once the fortune of the ancestral land is lost, even if only a little bit is taken away by someone, the consequences will be disastrous.

In fact, the secret of the Great Zhou's destiny is not exactly the same as Lin Xiao's speculation, but it is almost the same.

That place is indeed similar to a vault, and there are custodians who have been passed down from generation to generation.

This special secret was only circulated among the custodians, and all the successive rulers of the Great Zhou were unaware of it.

Meng Qinglan is the contemporary custodian, and has inherited this secret from the previous member of the Great Zhou royal family for more than three hundred years.

Her main task is to cooperate with the Jianshen Realm to ensure the safety of those fortunes.

Also, when signs are sent down from heaven, they fulfill their duties as custodians and guide the corresponding people to take back their respective fortunes.

Meng Yunqing was in the first category, so she had originally been part of that good fortune. At the same time, her aunt abused her power for personal gain and got some extra benefits for her niece.

[Uncle Qi, have someone check it again, just in case.]

[Miss, I have checked. There was nothing unusual in the ancestral land before and after Young Master Lin entered.]

[Is that so? Perhaps today's strange celestial phenomenon is caused by the ancestor. Since the ancestor has advanced to the fusion stage and become a great cultivator of the seventh realm, he will slowly touch the laws. You must be careful and do not approach the ancestral land unless it is extremely urgent.]

[Yes. Miss, if you are still worried, you can go and see for yourself. Young Master Lin is outside the city right now.]

【Um? 】

Upon hearing the news, Meng Qinglan put down the tray in his hand and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

Sure enough, he didn’t enter the Tao!

Princess Da Zhou, standing at a corner of the city wall, was completely relieved as she watched the animal carts slowly entering the city.

In order to avoid being noticed by the powerful person in the car, she quickly withdrew her spiritual sense after confirming what she was thinking, and dared not pay attention to that side anymore.

However, the perception of the transcendental being was so terrifying that even a flash of thought was captured by Principal Su.

Considering that the other party had no ill intentions and most of them were directed at the little girl, he did not make a fuss.

"Girl, go back to school as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll only stay here for one night."

Of course Lin Xiao would not miss Lao Su's abnormality, so he agreed without thinking.

Meng Qinglan was concerned about the perception of the powerful, but she did not expect that the five senses bestowed by the Heavenly Soul would also allow Young Master Lin to perceive it.

Normally, she wouldn't take it seriously when people looked at her with their naked eyes, but it would be different when she used her spiritual sense.

For example, right now, there is something fishy about the direction of the city wall. For another example, the customers in the noodle shop I visited once are not simple...

The animal cart was driving openly on the crowded street. Before people could see who was in the cart, Xiao Mingxuan brought people to greet them and then became the driver himself.

This scene immediately stopped the curiosity of many people.

When the carriage passed by the noodle shop, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at the guests sitting at the table by the window, and his eyes met with a young man among them.

When she turned around, she smiled and poured a cup of tea for Principal Su, playing a game of choosing one of two in her mind.

That look of surprise, did it mean that he recognized me at first sight, or had he seen the old man before?

Things are becoming more and more interesting!
