"yes, that's good." I smiled dryly.

"If you don't want to get married, tell the chief and he will definitely agree." Unlike my sloppy eyes, Ouyang Xuan hit the nail on the head.

"I didn't want to!"

After saying this, I was also surprised.

Ouyang Xuan smiled clearly: "Go to the small shop in front and sit down, it is estimated that everyone in the entire central building can hear here." ”

He was right, after all, the place we are standing in is the passage of the central building.

In the end, Ouyang Xuan and I chose a store that was very close to the central building.

Of course, I think it's more appropriate to say it's a roadside stall than a shop. If it was a bustling metropolis like Kyoto before, not to mention small shops, there are also five-star hotels.

But now in the era of the end of the law, the eternal night has come.

Even if Middle-earth, because of the efforts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, temporarily replaced the light with light and shadow runes. But after all, it can't replace the sun, without the sun everything withers, crops are not harvested, and there are constant wars.

So Middle-earth is no longer the same as before.

"Want something?" Ouyang Xuan looked at me and asked.

"Everything." I smiled.

Ouyang Xuan didn't say anything more, but ordered two bowls of noodles at random. But when he gave the money, I was shocked.

"Three hundred pieces for two bowls of noodles? Ouyang, are you sure you haven't been ripped off? "If he shouted, I wouldn't mind drawing my sword to help.

Ouyang Xuan motioned for me to sit down quickly, and laughed loudly: "I see, you have never eaten out by yourself." Because Kyoto is under the jurisdiction of the Kyoto town spirit, the prices here are not outrageous, and the material security is relatively good. ”

"Not outrageous? Is it outrageous that a bowl of noodles has to be sold for a thousand? "I don't believe it.

"Don't say it, guest, I heard that the noodles in Liaodong are really only 1,000 yuan a bowl. So you're lucky to live in Kyoto. Coincidentally, at this time, the waiter in the store came up and interjected.

If I had doubts just now, I really don't have any of them now.

But at the same time, I couldn't help but say: "The price rise is so outrageous, is it ...... the chief mayor?"

But halfway through, I stopped.

Because others may not know, but I know that since Lin Zhenhua succeeded as the chief minister of Middle-earth, not to mention that being content with pleasure is a normal rest. He didn't even get a good rest.

So seeing that I didn't say anything halfway through, Ouyang Xuan raised his head: "Even if you have a little conscience, you didn't continue to question." ”

"Actually, this is already very good, you have also been to the kingdom of the Holy Spirit to see it. They have not yet forbidden the eternal night. There must have been quite a few refugees and riots. But in Middle-earth, where supplies are so scarce, everyone can barely eat. The Soul Suppression Corps was able to continue to recruit troops, and there were no large-scale riots and famines. Do you think that all this is not the credit of the chief and Executive Officer Chen? ”

"Well, indeed." I nodded.

I had never paid attention to people's livelihood before, and naturally I didn't know about it.

Why do the soul generals of Kyoto Town, as well as the grandfather, say that Middle-earth has reached a very dangerous time.

"You can't be blamed for that." Ouyang Xuan saw my sadness, and comforted me: "Because every time you go out, you have a task, so as long as you go out, the resources of the whole country tend to you." So naturally you don't feel that. ”

"But what I want to say is that Middle-earth really can't withstand any internal destruction anymore. Especially from you. In the Golden City, there is not only gold that has infinite vitality that can be made into weapons, but also many rare and exotic grasses that are naturally raised. Even, we, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, want to try some ordinary food in the Golden City. ”

"Grain?" I looked up at Ouyang Xuan in some surprise.

This is undoubtedly something I never expected.

Ouyang Xuan smiled, motioned for me to eat noodles first, and then said while eating, "Yes, it's ordinary food." Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, we plant whatever can be successful. ”

Later, seeing that I was puzzled, Ouyang Xuan said again: "The people take food as the sky, Zang Ling'er, do you think this is a joke?" ”

Well, I get it when I hear that.

There is no sunshine in the whole of Middle-earth, and we have no other way to get our grain than to import it at a high price.

However, although the Golden City is in Middle-earth, it has not been eroded by the eternal night for special reasons.

So if those exotic plants can grow, maybe ordinary food can too. And for the stability of Middle-earth, weapons, ammunition, and important food are equally important.

"Okay, if Ouyang has any needs, you can bring it up at any time. I will definitely do my best to help you. With that in mind, I nodded knowingly.

Ouyang Xuan smiled: "You don't have to help, you don't know how to farm." Besides, we have experts in this field in Middle-earth, and it is more important to specialize in the art industry and do your own thing. ”

Obviously, the topic has come back to square one.

So this time I didn't respond, but lowered my head and ate the noodles without saying a word.

And Ouyang Xuan didn't continue to say anything, but waited quietly for me to speak.

In the end, I couldn't help but say, "Actually, I really don't dislike the chief, and I don't want to marry him." I'm just a little disgusted by your rush. But now that I've heard you say that, I seem to understand. I can't tell anyone what I have to do with Hei Xuan. And the Golden City is very important to Middle-earth, and it is indeed good that I should marry the chief sooner. ”

"It's not the Golden City, or it's not just the Golden City." Ouyang Xuan looked at me and said, "You are very important to Middle Earth, and you are also very important to Lin Zhenhua. ”

"Is there one?" I looked down and smiled, not daring to agree.

I admit that the Zang family is very important to Middle-earth, because the Zang family represents the grandfather, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the folk exorcists who are loyal to them.

But you're exaggerating to say I'm alone.

"Yes." But Ouyang Xuan nodded seriously, and then he wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a soul suppressor hurriedly walked in front of us: "Zang Guoshi, Academician Ouyang, I can be regarded as finding you." ”

"What's wrong? Is there something going on with the chief? I asked with some concern as I looked at the visitor.

The Ghost King must have received news of the fall of the Kshatriyas and the retreat of the Brahmins, but we don't know what he is going to do with it.

"Yes, there is an anomaly in the latest battle report." Speaking of this, the soul suppressor deliberately lowered his voice, and did not mention the word ghost king: "So the chief asked the two to go back immediately." ”

"Okay." I nodded and stood up.

This Soul Soldier was right to do so, after all, Kyoto had just rebuilt its defenses. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be an underworld or other evil cults mixed in.

Naturally, such news cannot be leaked.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Ouyang Xuan was just about to stand up, but a burly man behind him held him down: "Let's go first, but I asked my grandfather if I agree?" ”
