Zeng Liang smiled very provocatively, he didn't believe that Xue Ling knew how to pray for rain, "It's not that I, Zeng Liang, opened the river, this is the rule left by the ancestors, since the little girl prays for rain in our north, in order to show her sincerity, she should always follow the customs of my northland, isn't this a matter of course?" ”

Although this statement is provocative, it is difficult to refute.

Zeng Yi frowned and did not answer.

Xue Ling glanced at Zeng Yi, Zeng Yi did not refute, she knew that there was indeed such a custom in the Northland.

Nangong Sheng didn't speak, Nangong Sheng meant that he wanted to see how Xue Ling responded.

Xue Ling pondered for a moment and said, "It's not difficult for me to agree." ”

"Oh," Nangong Sheng suddenly spoke, seeming to be a little interested, "What did Miss Xue say about this?" ”

Xue Ling said, "Back to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the north and south are thousands of miles apart, and the customs are different, this is understandable, since I have arrived in the north, I naturally want to follow the customs, which is also a matter of course." If I pray for rain and can't do it, I should pray on the stage for three days and three nights, but,"

Her eyes flashed, and she turned to Zeng Liang, "This head of the Zeng family, if I succeed in praying for rain, what should I do?" ”

When she said this, she had an uncompromising demeanor, "It is only natural that there is punishment and reward, only reward and not punish, it is unfair, only punish and not reward, but it will inevitably make people feel cowardly." ”

Zeng Liang laughed, he looked at Xue Ling, and only felt that this little girl was not ordinary arrogance, "If you succeed in praying for rain, I will give you a hundred taels of gold, which can be regarded as thanking you for my fathers and fellow villagers in the north, how about it?" ”

One hundred taels of gold is already a generous donation for Zeng Liang, of course, this is all based on the fact that he does not think that Xue Ling can successfully pray for rain.

Xue Ling waved his hand, "Speaking of wealth, although the land of Jiangling is small, it can be regarded as worry-free food and clothing, although I am just a small family owner, but I am not a greedy person, I don't want this gold hundred taels." ”

"You said you didn't want it," Zeng Liang said happily.

Xue Ling nodded and continued, "There is a problem in the north, if I accept the silver from the head of the Zeng family, wouldn't it be a joke, I have another request, if I pray for rain successfully, ask the head of the Zeng family to take the lead in digging a ditch to drink water, and I must do it myself." ”

Zeng Liang was a little unsure of Xue Ling's words, he paused for a moment, thought carefully, and still insisted that this little girl would never succeed in praying for rain.

Without hesitation, he said at the moment, "Okay, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and Lord Xu are here, and they can testify." ”

Xue Ling responded, "Okay." ”

Nangong Sheng said, "Now that the sketch has been decided, Lord Xu, let's start working overnight today!" It must be completed within three days. ”

Lord Xu replied and retired.

Xue Ling also bowed and retreated.

Only Zeng Yi and Nangong Sheng were left in the room.

"When did Shi Yue start to be so interested in this girl from the Xue family?" Nangong Sheng asked as if unintentionally.

Zeng Yi was shocked, "Your Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the girl of the Xue family is the cousin of the Zeng brother, and I personally invited her, so I should take care of it." ”

Nangong Sheng looked at him and laughed, "I'm just asking in vain, what are you nervous about?"

After speaking, his voice was slightly lower, "You reminded me a long time ago that once I reject the marriage of the Xu family, the Xu family will definitely switch to my uncle Wang." I rejected Lord Xu, I was afraid that he was going to take action, I could have stopped it today, but this is also an opportunity, Shi Yue, haven't you always wanted to clean up the Zeng family? This is just an opportunity, if something happens to Xue Ling, we just take the opportunity to investigate. ”

Zeng Yi's fist in his sleeve was almost exposed, "Miss Xue is innocent." ”

Nangong Sheng looked at him, "You just said that you just took care of her because of your old friendship." ”

Zeng Yi exhaled lightly, suppressing the panic in his heart, "Your Highness thinks twice, this girl is deeply involved with the four major witch clans of Jiangling, the Xue family has no leader, and has high hopes for Miss Xue, as for the Jiang family, the head of the Jiang family is her maternal uncle, and he loves her very much, and the old head of the Wu family also praises Miss Xue, if Miss Xue has an accident in the north, the king of Jiangling will inevitably incite the Wu clan in the south, and we are not completely sure to compete with the king of Jiangling." ”

Nangong Sheng looked at Zeng Yi, "Don't worry, it's still useful for me to keep this girl, and I won't call her anything." ”

He glanced at the prayer platform, "You are right, if something happens to that girl of the Xue family, even if we can test whether Lord Xu will take refuge in Uncle Wang and clean up the Wu clan in the north by the way, but Uncle Wang will take the opportunity to incite the Wu clan in the south to make trouble, and then we will still lose more than we gain." ”

Nangong Sheng made a decision, "You find a reliable person and find out what they do next." Whether praying for rain is successful or not, regardless of whether the Xue family is a girl, must not have an accident in the north. ”

Zeng Yi said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”

Xue Ling returned to the courtyard, a little sweat broke out behind her back.

Counting, she and Nangong Sheng only fought three times.

The first time was at Gangneung Palace.

The second time was at the top of the slope, Nangong Sheng seemed to be in his heart, but in fact, he was tempted in every way, and Xue Ling didn't dare to take it lightly.

And the third time, it is Fang Cai.

Nangong Sheng's meaning is obvious.

The purpose behind this prayer platform is too obvious, and she is just a pawn in the game between these superiors.

In this game, she doesn't care who wins or who loses, but even if it's just a chess piece, she must not let anyone slaughter her.

There was a crying sound outside the house, Xue Ling retracted her thoughts, pushed the door out, and just saw Xu Lanfeng's girl running towards her, her steps were flustered, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she grabbed Xue Ling, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw, "Miss Xue, save our miss!" ”

Xue Ling was shocked, "What happened to Miss Xu?" ”

"Miss, Miss just locked herself in the room, and when I went in to look, she committed suicide."

Xue Ling frowned slightly, pushed the door in, and saw a girl patting Xu Lanfeng's back to relieve her.

Hearing the sound, Xu Lanfeng raised his head and saw that it was Xue Ling, slightly disappointed.

Xue Ling had already noticed Xu Lanfeng's expression, "You all go down, I'll heal Miss Xu." ”

The two girls didn't dare to slack off, so they bowed and left.

Xue Ling pulled Xu Lanfeng's wrist, Xu Lanfeng struggled, but did not break free, and was pressed on the pulse by Xue Ling.

She checked Xu Lanfeng's neck, the red marks were clear, and it didn't seem to be fake.

It was the second time she had seen someone throw themselves in front of her.

She doesn't know what to say, in this world, some people have worked hard to be able to live, but some people can easily give up their lives.

There is indeed a lot of helplessness in life, but death should never be a choice in life.
