This is a continent with very thin aura, one of the lowest continents, known as the Northern Ghost Continent.

This continent is not only thin in aura, but also very poor, and it is difficult to grow food.

When people don't have enough to eat, demonic beasts and demon plants are still rampant, and the people who live here yearn to go to a higher continent.

It's just that no one knows where the higher continent is?

In these hundreds of millions of years, no one has ever been to that higher continent!

Why they live on such a lowly continent, and why it is so difficult to ascend, the world does not know!

There are four countries in the Northern Continent, which are located in the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest.

And the northern underworld is exactly in the northernmost part, named after a mountain.

Since their formation, these four nations have been waging wars against each other in order to gain greater territory.

In the past few decades, because of the Lan family army guarding the border passes, coupled with the vigorous development of commerce and agriculture by the people, even in the coldest north, the country has prospered!

The current emperor knew how to use people well in the early days, but the emperor's weighing technique made him gradually lose his heart, so that he ......

……

The imperial city of the Northern Underworld is prosperous, and everywhere shows how carefully the country's rulers manage the country.

The scattered houses and shops are more like telling the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people!

A slightly anxious voice came from the far side of the street, "Drive, give way, drive......"

Pedestrians on the road saw the horses speeding in the distance, and they avoided them one after another, fearing that they would die at the feet of their mounts if they were too late.

Everywhere the mount passed, puffs of dust kicked up.

In the imperial city, only the royal family and nobles could ride on the streets, and the common people were not allowed.

Two years ago, such a scene was very common, because at that time, the General's Mansion had not yet fallen, and there were officials riding on the streets on the frontier, sending all kinds of good news letters to the General's Mansion.

However, since the last adult male of the General's Mansion died on the battlefield two years ago, it has been a long time since the people have seen anyone other than the royal family riding on the streets.

"Isn't this Vice General Lan of the General's Mansion?" After Zhang San rode over, he poked his head out and asked the people around him.

"It seems to be, but in the past two years, the people in the General's Mansion have not ridden much in the city, maybe we are wrong." Li Si wasn't quite sure if what he saw just now was Vice General Lan.

"It's him, it's the same Adjutant General Lan who used to be with General Lan, I know him!" Wang Liu said with a smile, and then felt that the Lan Mansion was pitiful, "Hey, it's really a pity that this family died in battle." That's the protector of our Northern Underworld! ”

The General's Mansion, located at the other end of the street, stands majestically and is half a story higher than ordinary houses, to show its status!

The quaint carved vermilion lacquer bronze door is when the mansion was built, and now His Majesty personally ordered to spend a lot of money to make people build, the two stone lions on the left and right in front of the door are vivid, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes are imposing!

At the door, Lan Ming quickly jumped off his mount and hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard.

He stopped at the door of a room and knocked respectfully on it.

At this time on weekdays, the eldest lady takes the little master and the little lady to take a nap at lunch.

If nothing happens, their subordinates will not come and disturb them.

In the room made of fine yellow rosewood, Lan Lan, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, was holding a book and looking at it carefully.

There was a warm yellow gauze tent hanging around the bed, and her son and daughter were sleeping on the bed.

Hearing the knock on the door, her delicate eyebrows furrowed unhappily, a trace of displeasure appeared in her blue eyes, and the originally quiet and indifferent look on her face sank slightly.

Raising his eyes to see the little man on the bed who had not been woken up, he turned and walked out of the door.

Softly closed the door and motioned for Lan Ming to go to the study to talk.

"Why did you come at this hour? But what's the matter? Lan Lan asked softly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the noble but heroic temperament also flowed out.

"Miss, my subordinates have heard that Li Lele and the Li family have arranged manpower to prepare to do something to you and the little young master tonight. Now there are many guards in the house than before, and I hope that the eldest lady will make a decision as soon as possible! Lan Ming looked at her with a thoughtful look on her delicate face in front of her.

Lan Ming was rescued by the old general when he was young, and brought him home to raise by his side, he can be regarded as the adopted son of the old general, after the last adult man of the Lan family died in battle two years ago, the eldest lady was left in the Lan family.

Lan Ming was also seriously injured at that time and escaped death, and after he recovered from his injuries, he claimed to the public that his health was not as good as before and he could no longer fight on the battlefield, but only he knew that he was staying in the city to protect the safety of the eldest lady and the child.

Since the death of General Lan Lao, the emperor has intended to support the rising star Li family, that is, Li Lele's maternal family, and two years ago Lan Ming was injured and asked to be removed from the title of deputy general.

The emperor was overjoyed, and pretended to regret that he would let him go back to the general's palace to recuperate, and then arrange an errand after his injury was healed.

Later, he decreed the marriage, and married Li Lele to Lan Lan's husband Liu Ming as a side room, and used the newly built Liu Mansion as a wedding gift.

When Liu Ming married into the Lan family, he was unknown, but he was good at braining, and he was very good at camping, and he was appreciated by Lan Lan's brother when he was doing long-term work in the Lan family.

With the support of the Lan family, he gained fame in the examination, and with the Lan family as a guarantor, Liu Ming had a smooth journey and achieved the position of the secretary of the six military departments.

The son-in-law cultivated by the Lan family himself, after the fall of the Lan Mansion, was no longer as considerate and affectionate to his original wife as before, and only focused on the government and politics.

The Li family intended to make friends, and Li Lele took the initiative to give him a hug, Li Lele was a little more feminine and obedient than Lan Lan, which made Liu Ming moved.

Because of his wealth back then, he couldn't hold his head up in front of a group of bureaucrats for many years, so when the emperor gave him a marriage, he agreed half-pushed.

In this way, in the eyes of the world, he was forced to remarry under the pressure of the emperor, rather than marrying a new love because of the fall of the General's Mansion.

Although Lan Lan was chilled by her husband's betrayal, there was no one in the General's Mansion who could help her protect her, and in the end she could only watch Liu Ming remarry.

She didn't want to serve a husband with others, and she also thought about killing this negative man with a sword, but she could die, but the child couldn't die, if she really killed Liu Ming, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out safely with the child.

In the past two years, she has never stepped into Liu's mansion for half a step, living in a simple house with her children, Li Lele is spreading rumors that she is high and does not know etiquette, in the eyes of the world, she has long been the woman who is ignorant and wrong.

In the past two years, she has carried everything proudly without fighting or grabbing, and now, that woman is still pressing step by step, she really wants to raise her sword to kill this dog man and woman!

But now that the Li Mansion is in power, and there are many civil officials, if he rashly kills Li Lele, he is afraid that he and his children will not be able to deal with the aftermath, as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!

"Then let's go tonight, Fire." Lan Lan said tiredly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lan Ming looked at Lan Lan distressedly, and wanted to step forward and hold her in his arms to comfort her, but he knew that he couldn't comfort her.

After Lan Ming stepped back, everything in the mansion was as usual.

Half an hour later, Lan Lan asked the maid to call the housekeeper over.

"Steward Zhang, there are some silver coins here, you can take them and distribute them to everyone, and you will leave the General's Mansion in the afternoon!" Lan Lan took out some silver coins from his desk and placed them on the desk.

"Miss, are you going to dismiss us?" The old housekeeper grew up in the house since he was a child, and he never got married all his life, so he ran the family up and down.
