After lunch, Ding Zhuqiang began to be busy with business. After all, I have to go to Aoxing City in person, and I am afraid that it will take as little as ten days and a half months, and at most a year and a half.

Fortunately, he only sits on the lord of a city, which is similar to the position of the county magistrate. In terms of security, there was still the Barbarian clan at first, but now it has been fully managed by the Miao clan.

In terms of taxation, Ding Zhuqiang thought about it, and out of appeasement, he handed it over to the Jin family for the time being. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and this Jin family is also the leading big family in this Eight Desolate City, just like a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

But secretly, Ding Zhuqiang knew that the Feiling family would accelerate its development......

"Zhuqiang, do you really plan to go to Aoxing City with the Barbarian Clan?"

As soon as Ding Zhuqiang came back from the inspection of the Eight Desolations Academy, he only heard Miao Changnian getting up in the hall of the mansion and asking.

"You're welcome, big brother, please take a seat first. Ding Zhuqiang smiled and sat down relatively closely, and then said: "You don't know! That Ao Xingcheng has already had a war with Baichuan City, if you don't go, wouldn't it be a pity to make wedding dresses for others for no reason?"

"I still advise you, boy, not to be too greedy. Miao Chang is over thirty years old, it can be said that he is old and young, and his style of action is not steady, and he persuaded again: "In my opinion, I might as well hand over the affairs of that Ao Star City to the barbarian clan to deal with it alone, for the sake of being an ally, I can fund some financial and material resources for it in Bahuang City." You can govern these eight desolate cities well, don't go to the cooperation. ”

Qing Lingxiu, who was standing behind Ding Zhuqiang, frowned, and said with great displeasure: "Could it be that the thousand-year-old Astral City Lord missed it in vain?"

"Oh?millennium astralism?" Miao Changnian was taken aback, and suddenly asked, "That's why?"

Ding Zhuqiang didn't deny it, thinking about it at this moment, if it weren't for the thousand-year-old star technique, Yue'er would not have left herself in the human world.

"In addition to that, I also want to inquire about the cultivation of essence. Ding Zhuqiang replied bluntly: "According to the old man of the Feiling family's night question, he found out from the record of all things, that the human world shares three medicines of sea and mountain grass, snow lotus, and blood ghost fruit have this miraculous effect. ”

"Cultivating Essence Peiyuan?" could it be ......" Miao Changnian Huo Ran got up, his face changed greatly, and his voice trembled and asked, "This ...... Is that true?"

Ding Zhuqiang nodded slightly, and only said: "Ruoshui and I are in love, and it is incumbent on me to do so." ”

"So...... Thank you very much. ”

Miao Changnian's expression was uncertain, like surprise, as if moved, as if worried, as if hesitant......

Qing Ling's bright eyes looked at it in his eyes, and he didn't understand, but he still said: "I have only heard of the murderous name of the blood ghost fruit of these three medicines, but it is conceivable that the remaining two things must be difficult to find." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Miao Changnian must have come back to his senses, and immediately had an idea: "I'll post a notice and look for it with all the strength of the city, are you afraid that there will be no clues?"

"Hmm. Ding Zhuqiang only nodded and said: "I heard that there is a snow lotus in Baichuan City, so I will definitely get something by going this time." ”

Miao Changnian immediately said: "It's not necessary, I'll personally send someone to buy it." ”

"These drugs are only worth a fortune. Ding Zhuqiang shook his head slightly, but still said: "That is the case, then it is okay, if you have the idea of what to do, you have to do it." ”

"Yes. ”

Miao thought about it for a long time, but he also knew that it was slim, not to mention that it was a long way to go to Baichuan City, and he still needed to carry a lot of money, and he had to be a confidant to do it. What's more, there are hidden dangers on the road, and I don't know when I will return?

Ding Zhuqiang was entrusted with the important task and said: "After I leave the city, I will be managed by you alone, big brother." ”

Miao Changnian swore solemnly: "But please rest assured, with my Miao clan, as long as there is no invasion by foreign enemies, it will not be a problem for a month or two." ”

"That's fine. ”

Ding Zhuqiang only nodded and put his mind at ease. chatter and talk to him for a few words, and then welcome him away.

After a long year, the sky is getting dark, and the rain is getting heavier. Fortunately, if there are soldiers and horses to escort Ruoshui, Ding Zhuqiang does not need to brave the rain to pick it up.

"Brother Qiang, the dinner is ready. ”

Qingling is really thoughtful, and at this moment, bow down and ask for it.

"Let's wait for her first!"

Ding Zhuqiang had no appetite, standing at the door of the hall, his thoughts were like a tide.

"Oh!" Qing Ling had no choice but to respond, Lianbu moved lightly, stood beside him, looked at Ye Yu and said, "If it weren't for the rain, Brother Qiang would have set off!"

Ding Zhuqiang couldn't help but smile and asked, "Am I in such a hurry?"

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Qingling didn't lose his Lan Qianhui's heart, and said with a hint of jealousy: "If you're not in a hurry, why are you busy arranging all afternoon? I'm afraid that the seal script you learned will be forgotten long ago!"

"It's good to forget that!" Ding Zhuqiang's heart fluttered, Ying Ying shook the soft and boneless smooth and soft thorn, and said with a flirtatious smile: "It's like learning the old and learning the new, stay in the evening, you teach me again and remember it, never forget it." ”

"I'm afraid that your fiancée will bump into it......"

Qing Ling's delicate body trembled slightly, her face was red with shame, her eyes were lowered, and she whispered.

"Humph!"

Ding Zhuqiang was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a cold snort.

"Ruoshui, are you back?"

Ding Zhuqiang was overjoyed, and in the sound of laughter, he hurriedly greeted him.

If the water holds an umbrella and floats through the rain, it is not unbeautiful.

"I finally know why Closed Moon wants to go back to the Demon Realm? If you do this again, I will also go back to the clan. ”

Yu Ding is coming, if the water is not angry, he wants to be coerced.

"Alas!" Ding Zhuqiang hung his head in frustration, knowing that Ruoshui would do what he said, so he had to restrain himself and said: "Okay! Let's go eat! I'm afraid it's cold." ”

Hearing this, Ruoshui's heart softened, and the residual qi gradually disappeared, put away the umbrella, and entered the inner hall to dine with both hands.

"Ling'er, you're welcome, let's sit down and eat together!"

Ding Zhuqiang saw that Qing Ling was standing on the side, so he didn't sit down, so he had to get up and invite.

But seeing Qing Ling's gaze, although Ruoshui didn't feel good in his heart, he had to say, "Sit down and eat together!"

"Oh!"

With the approval, Qing Ling was no longer formal, sat down together, and had dinner together.

For a while, the three of them ate their meals silently, but the atmosphere did not seem subtle.

"By the way, Ruoshui, how have you learned alchemy?"

After taking a bite of stir-fried vegetables that still had residual warmth, Ding Zhuqiang deliberately looked for some topics.

Ruoshui casually drank the thick soup and replied casually, "It's okay! The refined pill already has medicinal effects." ”

"Really?" Ding Zhuqiang was a layman who didn't know anything at all, and he didn't delve into it, but asked, "Then have you asked your master about refining the elixir method of cultivating essence and cultivating yuan?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ruoshui put down the jade spoon in his hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he shook his head and said, "What's the use of asking?

"It's no wonder, just as a good woman can't cook without rice. Ding Zhuqiang thought to himself, and then said: "What if I go and get the snow lotus that has the effect of cultivating essence!"

"What did you say, Snow Lotus?" Ruoshui was stunned, and asked with a pair of beautiful eyes, "How did you know about Snow Lotus?"

Ding Zhuqiang pretended to shrug his shoulders relaxedly, but said again: "I also know that the sea and mountain grass and the blood ghost fruit also have the effect of nourishing the essence and cultivating the yuan. ”

"Yes, I've also seen and heard about the Blood Ghost Fruit in the Miao clan's books. But that kind of thing originally originated from the demon world, I don't know why the human world will also appear?" Ruoshui said with a solemn expression: "As for the sea and mountain grass, I vaguely remember that there will be on overseas islands, but I don't know that it will have the effect of nourishing essence and cultivating yuan." ”

Ding Zhuqiang even said: "If the water, as soon as the rain stops, I will set off for Baichuan City tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to find the snow lotus, which should be able to improve my aunt's physical condition." ”

"Don't go. ”

Ruoshui almost blurted out from his own heart, and couldn't help but pull Ding Qiqiang to stop.

In the eyes of Qing Ling, who was paying close attention, the jade chopsticks in his hand slipped quietly from his fingers, but he didn't expect Brother Qiang's fiancée to be so affectionate......

Ding Zhuqiang was also greatly moved, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I have arranged it and will be back soon." ”

Ruoshui did not relent: "Then I will go with you." ”

"It's a long way to go, and I'm sleeping in the open air, how can I bear it?" Ding Zhuqiang gently persuaded: "You stay at home and wait for me to come back." ”

Ruoshui was reluctant to give up tenderness, lowered his eyes, and asked faintly: "Then when will you leave?" and when will you come back?"

"I told Uncle Ah Lan to rush to the rendezvous in three days, and I must take care of the matter at hand as soon as possible in the next few days, so as not to burden your brother. Ding Zhuqiang then said: "Don't worry, accompanied by the golden silk Ruyi bird, you will return after more than a month." ”

"Okay then!" Ruoshui knew that he could not persuade him to stay, and said sadly, "You have to promise me to come back as soon as possible." ”

"Of course. Ding Zhuqiang grinned, picked up the dish and said, "Eat more! Don't lose weight." ”

"You should eat more, running around, so hard?"

Ruoshui is extremely natural and vigorously sandwiches the vegetables into Ding Zhuqiang's bowl.

"Alas, what a happy ......"

This look at the opposite seat, deliberately staying out of the matter, Qing Ling's eyes are full of anticipation, and he sighs sincerely.

After that, the three of them also got along, talking and laughing.

After dinner, the rain is still falling, but I wonder if Uncle Ah Lan has set off in the rain?

"Chase Qiang, it's so late, go to bed early!"

Ruoshui Lian moved lightly to Ding Zhuqiang, who was standing at the door of the hall.

Ding Zhuqiang came back to his senses in shock, and glanced at Qing Ling who followed him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Ruoshui, so he put away his thoughts.

"Okay, you and Ling'er should go to bed early! See you tomorrow morning. ”

Ding Zhuqiang smiled and agreed, so he had to hold up an umbrella and go back to his bed alone.

In this answer, Qing Ling knew that Brother Qiang would definitely not have an unpleasant quarrel with the Guerlain beauty in front of him for his own sake. What's more, it's still a fiancée who is in love with each other and loves deeply......
