The early morning of the City Lord's Mansion was exceptionally quiet, and when Chu Nian arrived in the study, he was sitting at the table, reading an ancient scroll attentively, and beside him was a maid with a moving appearance, who was looking at the person reading with affection at the moment, but the person reading was unaware.

Yurong's figure was too thin, and a breeze blew, bringing his clothes up and flying, if it weren't for the deep sunken eye sockets, the situation of the talented woman would really be moving.

Chu Nian's arrival broke the tranquility of this moment, and when the maid stepped forward to give a salute, Yurong raised his head from the ancient scroll, and when he saw Chu Nian, his expression was slightly stunned, and even though he couldn't find fault with it, he still felt a little awkward with his smile.

He stood up and saluted, "County Lord, morning, how can I have time to find the official today......

Chu Nian waved his hand to signal him to stop those meaningless greetings, and said with a smile: "I said that I just had breakfast at this moment, and I have nothing to do, so I will come and take a walk, if you are studying, I will not disturb you, just sit down for a while and leave." ”

Yu Rong smiled: "It's just some idle books - I wonder if the county lord likes to read?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes and looked at the slow ancient books on the shelves, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that this Yu Rong liked to read so much, there were all the ancient books in this study, and there were even some wild history fragments that had been destroyed as early as the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, but they seemed to be covered with dust.

Seeing where Chu Nian's eyes could see, Yu Rong smiled embarrassedly and said: "These books were collected in the early years, and it is a pity to abandon them, but they can be read, and they violate the Da Liang Chapter, so they are placed, and they are also counted as filling the number of this study." ”

Chu Nian smiled, took down a "Wild History Miscellaneous" and opened it in the palm of his hand, "Books are all good things, but it depends on the thoughts of the people who read them, and now these fragments are in your place, and only you know them, and it's not a big deal." ”

At this moment, the maid brought a new tea cup, waved her hand, and the maid reluctantly retreated, he stepped forward and poured tea for Chu Nian with his own hands, before he said: "In the end, it is a matter of the previous dynasty, and it is good for the lower officials to always think about circulating some, but even half of the Da Liang Ming official is not in accordance with the rules after all." ”

Chu Nian slowly sat on the chair prepared for her, took a sip of the teacup in her hand, stared at the scroll in her hand, and did not answer, as if she was fascinated by reading.

Yurong stood beside Chu Nian for a while, seeing that Chu Nian didn't seem to react, a trace of doubt obviously flashed in his eyes, he opened his mouth, but he didn't disturb Chu Nian, walked back to his desk lightly, and reopened the ancient scroll he was reading.

At this point, Chu Niancai put down the fragment in his hand and coughed lightly, "I just read in the book that it is said that a kind of demon law was prevalent in the previous dynasty, but the human temperament changed greatly, and then the court of the previous dynasty tried its best to calm it down. ”

Hearing this, his face was obviously stunned, and after a while, he frowned as if he remembered something, and then chuckled, "Da Liang is prosperous, and there is a county lord, what kind of demon law are you afraid of?" ”

Chu Nian glanced at his face seriously, then turned his eyes and picked up the teacup, took a sip again, and said indifferently: "I'm just a peerless county lord, and this status is still the queen mother's own seal, if there is really any demon law that prevails, what can I do to solve it." ”

As she spoke, she sighed helplessly, and said: "Although there is a national teacher in the court now, and there is also a deputy national teacher, the national teacher is just a Taoist priest who can alchemy, although he can do some tricks of exorcism, but such a large-scale demon technique, I am afraid that it will not work, and the deputy national teacher ......."

Chu Nian paused, raised his eyes and looked at Yu Rong, "You say, in order to prevent this, shouldn't we find a few effective mages or something?" ”

Yu Rong's face was obviously stagnant, and he reacted very quickly to hide the unnaturalness on his face, and said: "Most mages are also deceitful, the county lord should not believe those tricks, I don't believe that there is really such a contrary thing in this world." ”

Seeing that Yu Rong seemed to be frank, Chu Nian let out a meaningful "oh", his eyes looked at Yu Rong slightly indulgently, feeling Chu Nian's gaze, Yu Rong's face was a little stiff, but he turned his head and looked at Chu Nian casually, but at that moment, Yu Rong only felt a slight pain in his chest, and then, the scenery around the two of them suddenly changed, and Yu Rong looked at the green mountain that appeared inexplicably in front of him with shocked eyes, beside him, Chu Nian was sitting on the Taishi chair, drinking tea calmly.

She raised her eyes and looked at her face meaningfully, "Have you heard of illusion on behalf of the city lord?" ”

Yu Rong's face was stunned, and then, he saw Chu Nian's hand wave, and the scene in front of him changed again, but the relative green mountains and green waters, insects and birds chirped, and the blazing sea of fire in front of him made people can't help but tremble under their legs, Yu Rong lowered his head, and he was standing on a towering stone, and except for this small piece where he landed, there were places where the sea of fire licked all around, as if he was not careful, the corners of his clothes would be burned.

Fine beads of sweat fell on his face, he smiled stubbornly, and looked at Chu Nian with fear, "County, county lord, this is ......"

Chu Nian smiled, that smile seemed somewhat contemptuous to Yu Rong, but right now, Yu Rong obviously didn't have the courage to resist Chu Nian, so he had to meet Chu Nian's ridicule with a smile on his face, and his eyes showed a bit of pleading.

I saw Chu Nian's subordinates wave again, the surrounding sea of fire disappeared, a cool wind struck, and the surrounding scenery changed back to the study again, Chu Nian was still sitting on the Taishi chair and drinking tea quietly, his graceful buttocks were still sitting firmly in front of the desk, and the ancient books in front of him had not even been opened.

Yu Rong looked around in disbelief, "County Lord, you are actually good at illusions?" ”

Chu Nian smiled meaningfully, did not speak, this stall, Yu Rong suddenly felt a breeze coming towards him, he looked at the empty door with a blank face, he didn't move for a long time, until Chu Nian snapped his fingers, he seemed to have pressed a switch, his body kept regressing, his face was full of horror, and he muttered: "You, why are you here?" What are you doing here...... Aren't you already dead? ”

Looking at Yurong's frightened appearance in the air, Chu Nian thought about it, with her current level, she could only give Yurong an illusion, but she couldn't see what Yurong encountered in the illusion, but at the moment, it was obvious that there was an uninvited guest in his world.

Or an uninvited guest who is worried about Rongrong.

At this stall, Yu Rong suddenly leaned against the bookshelf, obviously there was no way out, and then, he saw him frightened, "I didn't take your things, they are not here, you don't want to ...... Uh......"

He stretched out his hands to restrain his neck, and showed no mercy, and soon, his originally pale face almost turned purple, the situation seemed to be beyond expectations, Yu Rong almost strangled himself to death, but Chu Nian was thinking, this person who appeared in the illusion of Yu Rong was obviously a person called Yu Rong Wan Fear, besides, he seemed to have something in his hand......

"Childe!" An exclamation sounded, and the maid who had been sent away by Yurong turned back, and seeing that she had abused her Yurong, she hurriedly stepped forward to break the hand on Yurong's neck.

Chu Nian frowned slightly, it was really time for this maid to come, she snapped her fingers, and then, as if out of control, Yu Rong let go of the hands holding his neck, he leaned on the bookshelf behind him and gasped for breath under the support of the maid, while looking around in horror, as if he was very afraid that the person who had just appeared in his illusion would appear in front of his eyes again.

The hostility in the maid's eyes was undisguised, she glanced at Chu Nian sideways, and said coldly: "County Lord, my son-in-law is weak, I'm afraid I can't play such a cruel game with the county lord." ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with some amusement: "It's your son-in-law who said that he doesn't believe in these unnatural things, I just showed him how to show them, besides, I cast the lightest illusion on him, who knew that he would be able to be tricked in this way?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Rong realized that what he had just seen was an illusion, and his face suddenly became hot, and he sat on the chair carefully with the support of the maid, drank a sip of warm tea, and said with a weak smile: "The county lord still doesn't want to make such jokes, the lower officials really can't bear it." ”

Seeing that there was no hostility in the maid's eyes, Chu Nian felt a little regretful, but unfortunately, if the maid had come a little later, she might have been able to know more critical issues.

She smiled and said, "It's my fault, if I hadn't used illusion so recklessly, you wouldn't have done this, so let's make amends to you and send the medicine girl next to me to serve you, in exchange, how about this maid next to you to serve me?" ”

The maid stared at Chu Nian with wide eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she glanced at the maid beside her in disbelief, and then turned her eyes to look at Chu Nian, before she wanted to refuse, but met the indulgent eyes.

"It's only a few days of service, and if my healer sends me to serve you, there will be no one to take care of my daily life."

Before he could recover his strength, he opened his mouth and just wanted to answer, but he saw the maid looking at Chu Nian with a fierce look on her face, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The slave maid feels that this matter is very appropriate, and it is the honor of the slave maid to be able to take care of the unequaled county master." ”

When the words fell, Yu Rong frowned, and saw that Chu Nian didn't seem to be aware of the maid's hostility, and said with a light smile: "That's very good, you are a general knowledge." ”

After that, she knocked lightly on the table, and saw Ah Mo, who had already been prepared, coming in from outside the door, looking at Chu Nian with respectful eyes.

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Ah Mo, you helped take care of the acting city lord for a while, Fang Cai, I was careless...... Hurt him. ”

Ah Mo glanced sideways at the maid beside him, and stepped forward to bless him, "Follow the instructions of the county lord." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Ah Mo gently take the weak face from the maid's hand, and seriously probed the pulse.

Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at the maid, and there was still a smile in his eyes, "This will go back with me?" You can rest assured that my doctor is taking care of you, besides...... Your master isn't a messy master, is he? ”
