Chapter 40 Acting at the Dinner Table Binding Three Knives
Bell House.
Dinner time.
There are two less Yan Sandao and Dongcao in front of the table, but there are more Li Shangwen.
The lively and cheerful atmosphere of the past has become dull today.
Only Jiang Ping occasionally spoke out and said a few words to Zhong Yan.
Halfway through eating.
Zhong Xiaozhong came in to report: "Master, General Hou of the City Lord's Mansion is here, and he is also guarding the courtyard, and he has brought thirty-six city guards. ”
Zhong Yan looked up, "Got it." ”
Li Shangwen's heart moved, "Uncle, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion wants to settle this matter, General Hou is the confidant of the Qin City Lord, and the Martial Dao Innate Sevenfold Realm, although I have never seen him make a move, but it is rumored that he is not weaker than the Innate Eightfold Xue Shanhu!" ”
After a pause, he added: "Yes, at least before sitting down to talk, the Qin City Lord intends to interfere and does not want any more conflicts between the two sides." ”
As soon as the restaurant ended in the afternoon, the City Lord's Mansion sent a team of eighteen people over, not only the Zhong Mansion, but also the Xue Mansion.
Zhong stretched out his hand to grab the flask.
Li Shangwen's eyes were quick, and he immediately grabbed the wine jug and poured wine.
Zhong Yan asked: "If you can't talk, who do you think Qin Ben will stand with?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ladies on the table held their breath and forgot to chew their food.
"That's naturally the Xue family!"
Li Shangwen did not hesitate, and said with a straight face: "It's not that the child belittles you, uncle, the Xue family has been operating in Qingyang City for many years, has a deep foundation, and has close cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion, and the Arsenal Engineer under the Wumeng is estimated to have half of the income going to the City Lord's Mansion, my father said." ”
Zhong Yan bowed his head and asked again: "What if I serve as the master of Qingyang City?" ”
"Servant Mage?"
Li Shangwen was stunned, "How come?" Didn't you say that the mages sent people from the capital? ”
After asking, he looked at Zhong Yan's face, his heart shook, and he groaned: "If my uncle can really have a relationship to serve as a subordinate mage, then the Qin City Lord will naturally stand with you." ”
"Tell me about it."
"The capital has not sent a subordinate mage to Qingyang for several years, it must be related to the Qin city lord, and he doesn't want to be supervised and decentralized, but uncle, you are different, you are a local casual cultivator, and you have the identity of a talisman master, if you become a subordinate mage, the Qin city lord will definitely win you over, let you turn a blind eye, and when the time comes, not to mention all the guests in the city, he can at least get the support of the vast majority of monks, and he is not comparable to the group of people in the Wumeng."
"That's a good point!"
Zhong Yan smiled and praised, glanced at Tang Xiaoshu, who was lowering his head and playing with rice, and shook his head and smiled, "However, right now, it's the opposite." ”
Li Shangwen: "But why? ”
Zhong Yan said: "I am a casual cultivator, how can I be qualified to be a subordinate mage in such a cultivation, it was Qin Ben who took the initiative to find me and recommended it to the imperial court." ”
Li Shangwen was even more puzzled, "In this case, then my uncle has a deeper relationship with him, so he naturally protects you?" ”
Zhong Yan explained: "You may not know that although Qingyang is not managed by a mage, it is not like other cities, where monks fight and fall from time to time.
In this state, Qin Ben contributed a lot.
If there is no matter of obeying the Master, in order to maintain stability and not destroy the good relationship with the Hakqing monk that he has painstakingly managed, he will naturally try his best to calm down the turmoil in the restaurant and favor me.
But at the moment, the restaurant turmoil is a coincidence, and it is likely to turn into a test for me.
After all, Qin Ben only likes your uncle and me with some means, and without me, he can change to someone else. ”
Li Shangwen nodded again and again, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Doesn't that mean that Qin Ben will target you?" Someone outside was sent to keep an eye on it? ”
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "If you don't do it, there is a high probability that the two will not help each other, as you said, Qin Ben is already dissatisfied with Xue Shanhu's many ways, this is the key." ”
Li Shangwen was thoughtful.
Zhong Yan got up, "Tomorrow I will go to Fang City for my husband, Ping'er, how long the sergeant outside will keep it, how long will he entertain him, and send more wine." ”
"Yes, husband."
A group of wives and concubines stood up, and Jiang Ping hurriedly asked, "When will you come back?" ”
"After eating, let's go back to our room early to rest."
Zhong Yan answered the question, walked out of the hall, and heard a murmur that seemed to be talking to himself, "Qin Ben is extremely ambitious, but I don't know if he has the courage and brains. ”
……
Three watches.
The Zhong Mansion was pitch black.
After a day of nervousness, the family members all went back to the house early to rest.
If you listen closely, there is the sound of breathing one after another.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the hallway, and then the flower bed...... Finally, I went to the backyard and stopped at the door of the cultivation room.
The black shadow looked back, and then looked at the cultivation room, where wisps of light came out, and the stone door was not closed.
With joy in her heart, she stepped forward quickly, pushed it in lightly, and closed the door tightly.
Zhong Yan, who was making the talisman, looked up and continued his work, "It's not good to confine yourself and think about it, who gave you the courage to come here." ”
Yan Sandao stepped forward and knelt down, bit his lip and said: "It's Husband, you slap the knife three times, it doesn't hurt or itch, let Dao'er remember the story you told me about the Monkey King Sun Wukong, Dao'er also saw a strange look in your eyes, so let Dao'er come to you at this moment......"
As she spoke, her nose was sore, and she bowed down with the back of her headrest, "Thank you, husband!" Knife, there is your trust and love! ”
During the day, she never cried in the face of severe scolding and death punishment, but at this moment she was in tears, pitiful.
There is such a scene, which shows that the husband is determined to protect himself, and completely tears his face with the powerful Xue Mansion, how can he not move her.
"Get up, don't be so impulsive in the future."
Zhong Yan sighed, stepped forward to pick it up, and rubbed the tear stains on his cheeks, "I really can't see you crying, it's distressing." ”
As soon as I heard this, tears welled up even more.
"Husband!"
Yan Sandao threw himself into Zhong Yan's arms, "Dao'er misses you so much, Dao'er loves you so much, Dao'er ...... What kind of knife's heart, so painful......"
Choked up with tears.
Hold firmly.
Yan Sandao couldn't wait to rub herself into her husband's body and merge into one.
Outcome.
It is inevitable that there will be a fierce tart and lingering.
[Ding~ You and your concubine work hard to double cultivate once, and gain +10 for exercise perception, +30 for rune experience, and +10 for cultivation progress]
Zhong Yan, who was hugging the delicate body of the beautiful concubine, didn't care, but after seeing the bonus experience points, he glared suddenly.
It's off again!
Moreover, not only the experience points of the runes, but also the progress of the exercises and cultivation have also increased tenfold!
What's going on?
Confused.
There was another 'ding' sound in Zhong Yan's mind.
[It was detected that the concubine's love for the host was deep-rooted, beyond the limit of the mundane, and successfully bound. 】
Zhong Yan sat up abruptly.
Yan Sandao's starry eyes were misty, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhong Yan didn't answer, staring at the system panel in front of him.
[Name: Zhong Yan]
[Shouyuan:42/78]
[Spiritual Root: Fire 28% (217), Wood 19% (144), Gold 12% (0), Earth 8% (0)]
[Realm: Qi Refining Fourth Layer (703/80000)]
[Exercise: "Heavenly Fire Technique" (Elementary 275/5000)]
[Spells: Gravitational Spell (Beginner 5825/100000000), Fireball Technique (Beginner 3571/1000000), Fire Cloud Palm (Beginner 5233/10000)......]
[Class: Talisman (1st Order Medium 928/60000)]
[Concubine Binding: Yan Sandao (19/69)]
Age became Shou Yuan.
Now at the age of forty-two, with thirty-six years to live, it is obviously a normal life expectancy without accidents.
The corners of Zhong Yan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and an eager sense of urgency rose in his heart, his life was not long.
Although he is a monk, there is not much difference between a little Qi Refining Cultivator and an ordinary person, and only when he reaches the peak of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation can he approach the universal limit of one hundred and twenty years old.
In this world, those people at the bottom who are plagued by many disasters and diseases can be considered to be long living if they can reach the age of fifty or sixty.
There is also one more 'concubine binding'.
It contains Yan Sandao's longevity information, and there is a small '+' on her name, but there is no more explanation.
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, and then pressed the plus sign under his mind control.
The panel refreshes.
[Shouyuan:42/77]
[Yan Sandao: 19/70]
Zhong Yan was stunned, and he lost a year of life! Transferred to the bound concubine!
At this moment, Yan Sandao screamed, and his chest muscles trembled.
Zhong Yan turned his head, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Sandao's beautiful eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, and then his eyes blinked, and he muttered: "Husband, husband, Dao'er is hallucinating, it doesn't seem to be ......"
Zhong Yan's heart moved.
Yan Sandao rubbed his eyes, looked over and said, "Husband, your name appeared in Dao'er's mind, as well as words, saying that you used the Double Cultivation Dafa to increase the life span of the concubine by one year!" I now have seventy years to live! What's going on? ”
Zhong Yan remained silent and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?" ”
Yan Sandao tilted his head, "Hmm...... That is, suddenly there is a force in the body, which swims all over the body, so that the previous exhaustion is swept away. ”
Zhong Yan scratched her Qiong nose, "For my husband to know your heart, reward you!" ”
Yan Sandao pursed his lips, a warm current rippled in his heart, he looked at Zhong Yan affectionately, and then leaned into his arms, "Husband, you are so good to Dao'er." ”
The system was actively bound, and Zhong Yan estimated that there was no possibility of revealing secrets, but he still reminded him: "This double cultivation Dafa is very important, and you can't tell anyone." ”
"Well, the knife knows."
Subsequently, Zhong Yan asked her about the information in the country, which showed that there was a husband and wife relationship between the two, as well as her longevity, and nothing else.
Yan Sandao rubbed his chest with his cheek, looked up with affection, and whispered shyly: "Husband, Dao'er, I still want to serve you and eat your whitening essence......"
Zhong Yan: "......"
"Don't worry, I have something to tell you!"
After half a stick of incense.
Yan Sandao frowned, "Do you suspect that Tang Xiaoshu is a spy of the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
Zhong Yan nodded, "The spy is ironclad, as for whether it was sent by the City Lord's Mansion, it remains to be verified." ”
Yan Sandao said: "Husband, don't worry, Dao'er will definitely complete the task you explained!" ”
Zhong Yan patted her white face, "Come, feed you the whitening essence!" ”
Yan Sandao smiled and went down.
Swallow slowly.
Shuffle.
