The news of the marriage between the Zhong Mansion and the Changning Shen family quickly swept through the entire Qingyang City.

There were quite a few people present.

But Zhong Yan had an intuition that this matter spread so quickly, it was from Shen Lanxin's handiwork, and the other eleven guards and three maids who came with him did not appear.

It can be seen that Shen Lanxin is extremely concerned about this marriage and wants to do her best to promote it.

As for the reason.

It is easy to analyze the information obtained, and Shen Lanxin wants to use him to regain face in the family and get back some right to speak.

But Zhong Yan doesn't care about mutual benefit.

The monks in the city talked a lot, some were envious, some were sorry, and some were 'frowning'.

When Yang Yanqing of Yang Mansion learned of this, he was stunned, and then he was stunned.

I used to wonder why the Zhong Mansion had seven more guest secretaries overnight, and recruited guest secretaries on a large scale with heavy profits, it turned out that he had already secretly established a relationship with the Zhuji family.

"This guy is really lucky, and he will rely on Changning's big family without making a sound."

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Yanqing speculated that Zhong Yan should have been in contact with Changning during the 'Wangqi City Auction', when many monks in the city left.

"It's a pity...... It's good. ”

Yang Yanqing muttered.

It's a pity that it is because he cooperated with Zhong Yan to establish Fang City in Qingyang City, and he has already started to prepare.

But cooperation is also competition.

Zhao Zhongyan's current actions are obviously to establish a clan.

In Qingyang, there will definitely be competition between the Zhong Mansion and the Yang Mansion in the future.

In Yang Yanqing's heart, Zhong Yan is a difficult competitor, if he leaves, the Yang Mansion will be dominant.

And the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Ben is the one who 'frowned', not long ago Zhong Yancai took the initiative to hint at reaching a cooperative relationship, but in the blink of an eye, he wanted to stay away.

Zhang Shundao: "It is estimated that Zhong Yan was also unexpected, there was news from Fang City before, and the Shen family came all the way to the Zhong Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be for the Zhong Mansion." ”

Qin Ben looked puzzled, "How could a foundation building family like the Shen family choose Zhong Yan?" ”

Zhang Shun glanced at him and said with a smile: "The city lord is not also optimistic about him, among them, Lin Zhengping of Huoyun Pavilion should have made a lot of efforts." ”

Qin Ben pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's see what he says." ”

……

At night, the moon is like water.

Cangbao Street, Zhongfu.

The Taoyuan of Nijuin was transformed into a large venue, which was specially used for wine banquets and gatherings.

At this moment, the Taoyuan is brightly lit, and the banquet has lasted for nearly an hour.

In the open field, the tables are scattered, full of spiritual wine and food, and many monks come and go, chatting and chatting.

One hundred of them signed up to participate in the recruitment of Keqing, not limited to the Keqing Mansion in Qingyang City, and there were also a lot of scattered cultivators in the surrounding market towns.

Yu Qingyao, who was wearing a sky blue palace dress, stood alone under the peach tree with a wine glass, looking at the monks in the wide venue laughing and laughing, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, a little dazed for a while, and sighed in her heart.

She had the feeling of participating in the 'Lantern Festival party', and never thought that one day, she would become the host of such a party.

It's just painful.

Spirit stones are losing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye - spirit wine, spirit fruits, and demon beast meat are all money!

In the past, when Yang Mansion was held, she didn't think about it, but now that she thinks about it, she is very distressed, and she wants to go back and ask Xia He how much it will cost her to come down this night.

Gu Baiyu walked up to her and asked softly, "Sister Qingyao, when are you going to Changning?" ”

"Oh, Gu Daoyou."

Yu Qingyao came back to her senses, turned her head and smiled, "It's still undecided." ”

She glanced at Gu Bai Yu and walked to the stone table not far away and sat down.

"My husband said, if you want, you will go to Changning together."

Zhong Yan is still quite satisfied with Gu Baiyu, and has the intention to reuse it after more observations, except for the reason of the "Great Sun Treasure Sutra", during her time in the Zhong Mansion, she has never gone deep into the mansion in private for more than three courtyards, following the rules and being very low-key.

Yu Qingyao originally had a good sense of her, but after hearing Zhong Yan say that she was scheming, she subconsciously didn't want to be close.

"Thank you, Sister Qingyao, next time I will thank Master Zhong in person."

Gu Baiyu's expression was calm, and he could naturally feel Yu Qingyao's alienation, the other party had changed his name to 'Sister Bai Yu' for a while, but now he had changed back.

But she didn't care, the future was long.

She felt that as long as she didn't have a harmful heart and tried her best to do her duty, even if she played some small tricks, she would be able to win the trust and attention of Zhong and Yu in the future.

"Why doesn't my sister come over?"

Gu Baiyu glanced at Zhong Yan and the others gathered in the pavilion in the distance, Shen Lanxin sat beside Zhong Yan, behaved a little intimately, and looked very familiar with Bai Siyuan and the others.

Yu Qingyao shook her head and took a sip of spirit wine.

Gu Baiyu said: "Sister, you don't need to care too much, you and Master Zhong have the gift of a couple, and no one can replace your position in Master Zhong's heart." ”

Yu Qingyao smiled: "I know. ”

Originally, Shen Lanxin's kindness and generosity did not show the arrogance of the children of the big family, she should be happy, but when she thought of Shen Lanxin's ugly things, she felt uncomfortable, and she felt uncomfortable when she got closer.

"Sister has heard, He Daoyou from Qingxi Lane also fell and died at home yesterday."

This is the third one this month, and the monks in the city have been attacked and killed inexplicably, and the Keqing Mansion has been investigating, and there is no clue for the time being.

"My husband doesn't have a clue."

Yu Qingyao nodded, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the 'Palace of Eternal Life' she heard on the side of the road when she went to Yangquanfang City that day.

However, it doesn't matter to the Zhong Mansion, it won't be long before the Zhong Mansion will be far away from Qingyang.

The two chatted for a quarter of an hour, and when they saw Shen Lanxin leaving, they walked towards the pavilion.

Zhong Yan and others are also talking about the 'killing of the monk'.

Bai Siyuan: "There are more and more monks in the city, and half of them have not been registered in the Keqing Mansion, so it is normal to hide one or two evil cultivators." ”

Wu Yang: "What is the purpose?" If it's just a snatch of storage bags, it's too bold to commit murder in the city, right? ”

The three monks who fell were all women in the early stage of Qi refining, and they were killed by a single blow, except for the loss of the storage bag, the corpses were not particularly abnormal, they were not violated, or they were sucked with vitality.

Pang Baodu said with a smile: "It is not impossible to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them simply." ”

“……”

After a stick of multi-incense.

Shen Lanxin's maid walked over, "Master Zhong, my young lady is invited, and I have something to discuss with you." ”

Bai Siyuan and the others glanced at each other, threw an ambiguous look at Zhong Yan, and said with a smile: "Go, let's do it ourselves!" ”

Yu Qingyao nodded, "There's me here." ”

"I'll talk about the Colosseum another day."

Zhong Yan said a word to Bai Siyuan, got up and walked away with the maid.

"What's your name?"

"Slave Shen Hongtao, uncle, I can call Xiao Tao."

Zhong Yan turned his head to look at her, "Growing up in your parents?" ”

"Uncle Hui, yes, the slave maid entered the Shen family at the age of six, followed the young lady at the age of nine, and has been thirteen years now......"

Zhong Yan nodded secretly, at the age of twenty-two, he had a fifth-level Qi refining cultivation, and his qualifications were good.

"It is rumored that Miss Lan Xin has many male friends?"

The maid's face changed, and then smiled: "My uncle also said that it was a rumor, those are all hearsay rumors, my young lady's feelings are bumpy, and the men who are pursued are all interested in the identity of the young lady, and there is no true affection, and after a few experiences, they have been falsely rumored by people with a heart......

Zhong Yan smiled and stopped talking.

The two of them went all the way to a small courtyard in the six-fold courtyard.

Entering the living room, Xiao Tao smiled and said: "Uncle wait, I am in a hurry, the young lady is a little tired, she should be bathing." ”

After making tea, she bowed and walked towards the inner room.

After a while, an exclamation came out: "Ah~ Miss! Uncle, something happened to Miss! ”

Zhong Yanhu was suspicious, and when he stepped inside, his eyelids jumped wildly.

I saw two maids lying on the ground, and Shen Lanxin was lying naked on her side on the floor, with a bloody hole in the center of her eyebrows.

He's dead!
