Shaowei Mansion stood quietly in the imperial city without alarming anyone. Luo Jun did not have a big banquet guests, but the wonderful thing is that on the day of the opening of the mansion, many dignitaries and nobles came to give gifts.

Lan Tianji and Wei Wuji naturally won't come. Instead, the court's messenger sent a gift.

These dignitaries sent people to give gifts, and after giving the gifts, they left, and they did not stay to eat. In the evening, Luo Jun counted the gifts, which were really worth a lot of money.

Qiao Ning smiled at this and said: "The emperor's attitude towards you is vague, but these dignitaries and nobles will not easily make enemies. The gift represents a heart, and everyone is willing to sell it well. If the emperor doesn't need you in the future, then forget it. If you are popular, everyone also has a friendship in front. ”

Luo Jun also understands this reason, he smiled and said: "I was a reckless man, but I didn't expect that I could still be an official in my life." ”

In fact, Luo Jun understands a lot of truths, and he is very proficient in formations, Zhou Yi Bagua techniques, and so on. The geometric equations on the formation, he came at his fingertips. But in reality, if he was really given the equation to solve, he would be dumbfounded.

In the world, the age of science and technology. What we pay attention to is modern high-tech talents, especially in the appointment of officials, and academic qualifications are the absolute evaluation index. With Luo Jun's education, it is impossible to be an official. In troubled times, it is still possible.

So at this moment, Luo Jun is still more or less emotional.

In the evening, the housekeeper Lin Bo counted all the gifts, stored them and made a book, and then handed them over to Luo Jun for inspection. At the same time, Lin Bo arranged two maids to serve Luo Jun and Qiao Ning. They are Biyue and Bi Tao. Biyue serves Luo Jun, and Bitao serves Qiao Ning.

Luo Jun chose two particularly good bedrooms for himself and Qiao Ning, and with such a decoration, Qiao Ning liked Shaowei Mansion a little.

Qiao Ning said: "I have my own cave on Icy Lake Island, but there are only two people there, me and Mingyue girl. After the death of the bright moon girl, I was alone. It's not as fun as it is in your Shaowei Mansion. ”

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, and then said, "After Mingyue died, are you sad?"

Qiao Ning's face sank, and she said, "Mingyue has followed me since she was a child, and her death hit me hard. ”

Luo Jun said, "I'm sorry. ”

Qiao Ning looked at Luo Jun and said, "Why do you want to say I'm sorry? I don't believe that a character like you would kill Mingyue." ”

Luo Jun said: "Mingyue was indeed not killed by me, but at that time, I could save Mingyue." It's just that I also have greed for your thunder talisman, so I watched Ling Kun kill Mingyue. Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, if it were now, I would desperately protect Mingyue. ”

"I don't blame you. Qiao Ning said: "You and I didn't know each other at the time, this is normal. You don't owe me anything, and you don't owe Mingyue anything. It's just that I owe Mingyue. ”

"That Ling Kun has been killed by me. Luo Jun said.

"I know. Qiao Ning said.

Luo Jun suddenly said, "Miss Qiao, can you promise me one thing?"

Qiao Ning looked at Luo Jun strangely and said, "What?"

Luo Jun said: "Don't die, I can't accept that the people around me have left me." When he said this, a look of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

Ling'er's accident, Luo Feirong's death, and Luo Ning's death, all kinds of blows deeply made Luo Jun feel sad and felt that this fate was too sad.

Luo Jun couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Is my luck really good? My father killed my mother, what is the reason? The people I love, the people who love me die and are injured, what is this for?"

Qiao Ning was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, the softest thing in her heart was touched by Luo Jun's words. She had seen Luo Jun's injuries and pain with her own eyes, so she deeply understood the meaning of Luo Jun's words.

"Okay!" Qiao Ning smiled lightly and said, "I promise you." ”

Luo Jun also smiled and said, "A word is a certainty." ”

"It's a deal!"

Late at night, Shaowei Mansion welcomed a special guest. This person is none other than Nie Meiniang, who has not been seen for a long time.

Nie Meiniang was dressed in black, and she was a lot haggard.

Luo Jun met Nie Meiniang in the study. Nie Meiniang was very quiet and said very little. Luo Jun asked Biyue to make hot tea.

"Are you okay?" Luo Jun asked softly.

Nie Meiniang looked up at Luo Jun, and she said, "Gongzi Ye was punished by Hou Ye and confined to him, and he was not allowed to leave Siguo Hall for three years. ”

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, then smiled again and said, "This is good news. ”

Nie Meiniang also smiled, but she didn't say anything.

Luo Jun said again: "Do you plan to stay in the Hou Mansion all the time?"

Nie Meiniang said: "There's no second way to go, isn't it?" She paused and said, "You are also dead this time, I don't have your good luck, if I leave the Hou Mansion, it will be a dead end." ”

Luo Jun fell silent. He really had no way to admit Nie Meiniang to Shaowei Mansion. Because Nie Meiniang is indeed a person from the Hou Mansion, and the people from the Hou Mansion came to Shaowei Mansion, is this possible? Lan Tianji can justifiably intervene or kill Nie Meiniang.

Luo Jun said: "Then you come to Shaowei Mansion tonight, it won't cause you trouble, right?"

Nie Meiniang said: "It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to die! But you opened the mansion today, and I, as a friend, have to come and see it." ”

Luo Jun said sincerely: "Thank you!" He paused, and said: "If you have the opportunity, I will definitely save you from the Hou Mansion." It's just that at that time, I don't know if you want to leave the Hou Mansion. ”

Nie Meiniang looked at Luo Jun in a daze, and she said, "Why are you so good to me?"

Luo Jun said: "Is there any other explanation besides that we are friends?"

Nie Meiniang smiled and said, "Yes, there is no other explanation. She paused and said, "I brought you a gift." As she spoke, she took out a small brocade box.

Luo Jun took it, he was a little puzzled, and said, "What is it?"

Nie Meiniang said: "After I leave, you can watch again." ”

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, and then said, "Okay!"

Nie Meiniang said again: "I know that Gongzi is not a good person, and he has never treated me as a real person. At most, it is a tool, and if you use it well, you can make him smile. If you don't use it well, you can throw it away at any time. ”

Luo Jun couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Since you understand, why do you bother..."

"My life was given by my son. Nie Meiniang said: "Back then, my family was brutally killed by the enemy, but it was the prince who saved me and helped me take revenge." My life is not my own. I can only repay my son with death. ”

Luo Jun fell silent.

Everyone has their own rules of conduct in their hearts, and he can't say that Nie Meiniang is wrong.

Subsequently, Nie Meiniang left.

Luo Jun opened the brocade box given by Nie Meiniang, but inside was a black bead, which was only the size of half an egg. The black beads are rounded.

The black beads were pitch black. Luo Jun couldn't help but wonder, what the hell is this?

He took the black bead in his hand and looked at it for a moment, but he couldn't feel anything. Moreover, even the mana can't penetrate it.

"Damn, what the hell?" Luo Jun was surprised.

Even if it is a diamond, Luo Jun's mana can penetrate it and instantly decompose the molecules inside.

Sometimes, you will encounter powerful magic weapons. There will be a power inside that will exclude Luo Jun's mana. But like the one in front of you, it's a little weird to not be able to get in at all.

Luo Jun was extremely curious, and he really wanted to go to Nie Meiniang to ask for clarification. What the hell is this black bead? But he didn't want to ask, because Nie Meiniang's identity was too sensitive.

Luo Jun naturally knew that this black bead was not ordinary, he thought about it, it was not too early tonight, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

The next morning, Luo Jun showed the black beads to Qiao Ning.

Qiao Ning also faced the same embarrassment, even her mana couldn't penetrate it.

Qiao Ning said: "I don't know what the structure of this black bead is, it's very strange, I've never seen it before." However, Tianchi Pavilion is supernatural, you can ask Tianchi Pavilion. ”

Luo Jun said: "Tianchi Pavilion is very greedy, if this black bead is really a treasure, they will definitely find a way to get it for me." ”

Qiao Ning said: "You can use your identity as a friend to find Su Yanran. ”

Luo Jun thought about it for a while, and said, "That's right, I'll go find Su Yanran." ”

Just as Luo Jun was about to leave Shaowei Mansion, a eunuch outside the door hurriedly came over. After the eunuch arrived, he broke into Shaowei Mansion all the way. The family members of Shaowei Mansion didn't dare to stop it at all.

"When the decree arrives, General Shaowei will quickly come out to receive the decree!" the eunuch shouted loudly when he came in.

This eunuch is not the eunuch from last time, and Luo Jun doesn't know him.

But when it came to the holy decree, Luo Jun did not dare to slack off. In this case, Qiao Ning will not come out. She doesn't like to kowtow to anyone, including the emperor.

Luo Jun led a group of family members, housekeepers, etc. to kneel down to receive orders.

The eunuch unfolded the holy decree and said, "Carry it by heaven, the emperor said." I heard that there was a locust plague in Linxi County, and the victims were everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living. There are also Taishang Sects who take the opportunity to cause chaos, bewitch the victims, and gather rogues, intending to oppose our great well-being. Which is tolerable or unbearable, I ordered Shaowei General Luo Jun, and Zhenyuan Major General Lan Tingyu immediately went to the military department to lead the soldiers, and escorted the grain, grass and silver to Linxi County for disaster relief and chaos, Qin this!"

Luo Jun said: "The minister receives the order!"

Subsequently, Luo Jun received the holy decree, and the eunuch didn't say much, and left immediately.

Qiao Ning waited for the eunuch to leave, and immediately came out.

Luo Jun waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and he said to Qiao Ning a little depressedly: "You also heard it just now." ”

Qiao Ning said: "That's right. ”

Luo Jun said: "The emperor asked me and Lan Tingyu to go together to relieve the disaster and quell the chaos, what does this mean? Doesn't he know that Lan Tingyu and I are not on good terms?"

Qiao Ning said: "This is the emperor testing you and putting pressure on you." If this time, Lan Tingyu completely overwhelms you, or you overpower Lan Tingyu. Both of you will have a hard time, and the outcome is up to you. ”
