The current season is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, for the river area of many Xizelai, the weather changes, the white or clear sky, the wind and the sun are beautiful, now in the middle of the night, I don't know where to float a few dark clouds, gathered together to cover the stars.

The flickering night sky was accompanied by a dull thunderclap, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Seeing this scene, the craftsmen who had been busy overnight on the south bank of Huanghu Lake had to call off their work early, and had to wait for the rain to pass before continuing.

The affected people had no choice but to complain, and although they did not know who had made their homes such a desolate scene, they had more or less heard that it was a big man they could not afford to provoke.

Fortunately, the royal city sent someone to advocate for the rebuilding of their house, and also gave them compensation for shock, which made people feel very comfortable.

That night, there were even people who were red-eyed and secretly demolished a corner of their intact attic, in order to make some benefits, but they were exposed on the spot by the guarding warriors, and not only were severely punished, but also arrested and taken to work as coolies for the reconstruction of his building.

With the lessons of the past, no one dared to use their brains, but there were still many people who talked about Wang Cheng's move.

Xize has a lot of rain and floods, and the people have been affected in the past, although the royal city will also send people to be there, but it has never seen the royal city make such a big move.

Now Nishizawa even knows that the royal family is not rich, because one of the king's concubines is seriously ill, and in the past few years, the treasury is almost empty.

You are a dignified king who doesn't care about the life and death of the people for the sake of a concubine, so what use do we want you to be the king, step down as soon as possible and change the vacancy.

It is precisely because the people understand the embarrassing situation of the royal family now that they are quite surprised by today's events.

For the sake of more than 100 homeless households, Wang Cheng not only allocated a huge amount of money to appease the people, but also specially transferred craftsmen and guards from Wang Cheng to help them rebuild their homes, which really flattered these people.

The people affected by the disaster enjoyed the extraordinary treatment brought by the royal family, and at the same time discussed the reason for the royal family's actions.

The overseer of the guard didn't say much about it, and it was his responsibility to keep a record of all the expenses for the night.

After everything was counted truthfully, he directly dispatched his subordinates to settle the people aside, while he collected the ledger and turned around and sailed all the way north, leaving the cluster slowly.

With an account book that recorded huge expenses, this commander was walking on thin ice, even if he was wearing the official uniform of the royal city and had the cultivation of the realm, he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and always paid attention to the movements around him, for fear that some inconspicuous bandit would come to the attention of the booklet in his arms.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and he crossed the Huanghu Lake to the most famous restaurant in China, and after parking the boat, he did not enter the restaurant, but walked east along the bluestone road.

Not long ago, it was empty on the bluestone road, but at this moment, there was actually a team of Wangcheng guards standing on both sides, starting from more than 100 meters west of the Linghuang Pavilion, standing every three meters with one person, extending to the east, nearly a few hundred people.

Seeing these guards, the commander's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his body was still tense, and he always felt a tightness in his chest if he didn't hand over the booklet in his arms.

The pace of his feet increased, and he finally saw the end of his way through the layers of guards.

This is a junction, and the ground is relatively high in the front, and two ornate chariots are parked above the bluestone staircase, one of which has been clustered in the white age, and the other does not look abnormal from the outside, but it depends on who sits inside.

It's a pity that I can't see it now, because there is no one in these two cars at the moment, but there are three columns of guards standing outside the chariots, and there is a majestic man wearing bright silver armor and carrying a sword at his waist.

The commander stepped up the stairs, facing behind the majestic man, his expression became extremely respectful, and he took out the booklet from his arms and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, all the expenses for the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken area have been recorded. ”

I saw that there was a gazebo not far behind the majestic man with a sword at his waist, and several lights hung inside and outside the pavilion, illuminating the entire area where the pavilion was located as bright as day, and under it there was a stone table with a chessboard and four stone benches.

There were already people seated on the four stone benches, and the chess game on the stone table was dominated by the middle-aged man on the main seat and the young man sitting opposite.

There was an old man on each side of the seat, a man and a woman, it was Bai who came to capture Liu Fengchen and other Rao Pei Lao and Shu Granny, and at this time, the two elders were all watching the battle situation on the stone table with great interest.

On the main seat is a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, at this time, he has already chased and intercepted the other party's sunspot with a white son, as if he has won the battle, but the young man opposite does not seem to want to give up, holding the sunspot is still concentrating on hard meditation, weighing the intention left and right to find an opportunity to turn things around.

Hearing the report, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the booklet in the hand of the commander below was handed over to him, opened it, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, raised his hand and swept it on the chessboard, and the entire chess game was disrupted in an instant.

Duan Zexuan, who was holding a sunspot on the other side and didn't know what to do, suddenly said in distress: "Father, what are you doing?

Duan Yi smiled and handed him the booklet and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

Duan Zexuan had no choice but to put down the chess pieces in his hand, took the booklet and flipped through it.

The first page is mostly about the destroyed buildings and the losses of the people, and the forest is still detailed, but after a cursory look at a few lines, I turn the next two pages.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Duan Zexuan almost didn't tear the booklet in his hand directly because of the excessive force on his hand, and then he muttered: "This is not right, this ......"

He was a little confused, then turned the next three pages, and when he saw the content recorded on the third page, he finally couldn't help but say angrily: "Remember what kind of broken account is this!

When the commander below heard this, he was immediately frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Your Highness, spare your life, all of them are acting according to orders, and there is no mistake, what a wrong!"

Duan Yi waved his hand to dismiss the guard who was about to capture the unlucky leader, and said to Duan Zexuan with a strong smile: "What are you dissatisfied with about this ledger?"

Duan Zexuan's eyes widened, and he had some thoughts in his heart, and he took the booklet and asked, "Father, don't you think what is recorded on this is unreasonable?"

Duan Yi smiled and asked, "What's unreasonable?"

Duan Zexuan got up, directly tore off the second page of the booklet and put it together with the first page, and said while comparing it: "Father, you see, the total number of people affected by the disaster in Lingze this time is only more than 100 households, and the collapsed buildings are less than 150, but if you look at the second page again, there are more than 1,000 households affected by the disaster and 3,000 buildings rebuilt, what is going on?"

"And Father, you continue to see, most of the people's buildings are built of ordinary waterproof wood, but they are all made of furnace stone, plus this has never been a huge subsidy, how much expense does this have?

In the end, Rao Yi Duan Zexuan's temper couldn't help but be a little angry, so blatantly filling his own pockets, and the amount was so huge, he really wanted to go crazy for money!

Duan Zexuan turned around and pointed at the unlucky commander and said angrily: "Come on, pull this Jizhang down for me and behead it on the spot!"

This time, the guards did not move, Duan Yi smiled without saying a word, and waved his hand to dismiss the guards beside him and the commander.

Duan Zexuan was surprised, turned to look at Duan Yi, and said, "Father, who are you?"

Duan Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is no problem with the account book in your hand, and the overreported loss was arranged by me." ”

Duan Zexuan was puzzled: "Why is this? With so much money, the people affected by the disaster this time can't use it, and our treasury doesn't seem to be able to come up with so much money!"

At this time, Granny Shu on the left spoke: "Has Your Highness forgotten who caused Lingze's trouble?"

"Who caused it?" Duan Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Do you want those two to pay for this money?"

Granny Shu asked rhetorically, "Isn't it okay?"

Duan Zexuan nodded: "Yes, but it also has to be compensated according to the actual price, such as the expenses recorded in this account book, is it a bit excessive!"

Hearing this, Duan Yi and Pei Lao looked at each other and smiled, and Granny Shu said angrily: "They are sleeping peacefully in the Linghuang Pavilion at this time, and they don't care about this matter at all, but Your Highness, you are kind-hearted, and you have to help outsiders if your house is demolished by outsiders!"

In the face of Granny Shu's accusation, Duan Zexuan shook his head: "Granny Shu's words are wrong, their move is nothing more than an unintentional move, and fortunately, there are no innocent casualties, after all, they are guests who come to my Xize, at most let them compensate according to the price, why blackmail them?"

"I don't think it's right!"

Granny Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "This method is from the old woman and I came out for Your Majesty, whether it is appropriate or not, Your Highness does not count!"

Duan Zexuan looked at Duan Yi and said righteously: "Father suddenly led his sons to gather late at night, is it just to let his sons see the dirty deeds?"

This made everyone stunned, and even Duan Yi didn't expect Duan Zexuan to suddenly say such a sentence.

This method was developed by Granny Shu, one of the four martial emperors of Xize, and the person who adopted this method was the lord of Xize, and now there is a filthy move in the absence of their face, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be in a different place on the spot.

However, being able to say such things on such an occasion can also show that Duan Zexuan is really very dissatisfied.

He couldn't understand why his father, who had always been worried about the country and the people, would do such a thing, and a dignified king would put forward the idea of blackmailing his juniors, what is the difference between this and those philistines?

Having said that, but Duan Zexuan now regrets it a little, he clearly accused his father of acting dirty in front of the two old rao, what is the difference between himself and the reckless man in the rivers and lakes?

Sure enough, after the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the pavilion, Granny Shu got up angrily, raised her crutches and wanted to fight, but fortunately, Pei Lao on the opposite side was quick and pulled Duan Zexuan over.

The blow missed, and Granny Shu didn't raise her crutch again, and said coldly: "Zexuan, I can't imagine that you have become so stupid after not seeing you for many days, and you dare to help outsiders scold your father, I think you have forgotten how powerful this crutch is in my hand!" And at this moment, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and large raindrops fell one after another.

Duan Zexuan looked at the stone bench that had just been smashed by Granny Shu in shock, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and hurriedly walked to Duan Yi's side and leaned over and said, "I'm sorry father, my son lost his word." ”

Duan Yi shook his head and sighed: "Get up, you, you're just too upright, and you don't listen to why we are doing this, it makes Granny Shu angry, why don't you make compensation to Granny Shu!"

Without waiting for Duan Zexuan to get up, Granny Shu snorted coldly: "Excuse me, a group of rabbit cubs, none of them let the elders worry!"

Pei Lao patted Duan Zexuan with a smile and motioned for him to go back and sit down first, Duan Zexuan returned to his seat stupidly, but after he sat down, he felt that something was wrong......

Well...... It's a bit of a sass!

But it doesn't matter, fortunately, this stone bench has been beaten for him, how can he dislike this "benefactor", he will just settle.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the guards outside the pavilion were all drenched, but they still stood tall and stood upright, sticking to their posts, and the task they received tonight was to stick to the Linghuang Pavilion tonight, and no one was allowed to enter, nor was anyone allowed to go out, but whenever there was a little wind and grass, hundreds of war knives came out in an instant.

……

And Liu Fengchen, who was arguing with Lian in the pavilion at the moment, didn't know anything about it, but there was one thing that made him care about it very much.

When they came here, they heard from Qiu Shuiyao that there were still people living in several rooms on the east side, and at first he didn't care because he wanted to ask about Lian's clone, and he was all an ordinary tenant.

Unexpectedly, when he was chatting with Lian, he suddenly heard movement in the corridor outside the house, which sounded like footsteps, and there was more than one person!

I came out so late to shake it, and I had to guard against Liu Fengchen, who had two weak women and a temporary waste bird by his side.

Liu Fengchen informed Lian, and then withdrew from Zhihai, and Lian also followed closely and returned to his clone.

One or two crept to the back of the door, and listened quietly with their ears on the door.

None of them used their senses, fearing that the other might notice.

The voice did sound from the east side of the corridor, and slowly moved to the west, that is, on their side, judging from the frequency of the footsteps, it should be two people, as for the age and gender of the cultivation, Liu Fengchen is not strong enough to be identified by listening to the footsteps.

"Huh!" Lian on the side sighed softly.

Liu Fengchen looked up at him, only to see Lian's nose twitching slightly, as if she was smelling the smell.

After sniffing twice, Lian tilted his head and said to Liu Fengchen: "It's the guy with white hair who stays together with Bai and the miscellaneous bird, and the smell of the other one is also very familiar, Bai You should also be present when you fight with the miscellaneous bird, the 'smell' is very strong, it should be a woman!"

The 'soothing smell' in Lotus's mouth Liu Fengchen knew very well that it was the fragrance of fat powder smeared by the woman, and this kind of flavor that could add feminine charm did not appeal to Lotus at all, but made him feel very pungent and unpleasant.

Qiu Shuiyao wanted to hug Lian, but he was sternly rejected because of this.

After listening to Lian's story, Liu Fengchen automatically ignored the matter of fat powder, and tried to remember whether Bai had seen a white-haired man by the lake, but after thinking about it for a while, there was no result.

Bai Yujin's strength is very strong, and against it, Liu Fengchen doesn't dare to be half-hearted, so he has no impression of the white-haired man.

It's just that I heard that Lian Bai Yujin had stayed with the white-haired man, so I thought that I should have met Bai Yujin.

If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, is it because you came to visit Bai Yujin?

Before figuring out what the comer meant, Liu Fengchen decided to hold his troops and use his divine sense to sweep towards Qiu Shuiyao's room next door.

Their group was divided into three rooms in total, one for Liu Fengchen and Lian, one for Qiu Shuiyao and Cailing, and one for Bai Yujin himself.

Qiu Shuiyao and Cailing had already fallen asleep, and Liu Fengchen didn't look too closely, and when he saw that they were fine, he swept his divine sense towards Bai Yujin's room.

This guy changed back to his body before he fell into a coma, several times larger than the previous clever human form, and the bed in the room couldn't accommodate him at all, so Cailing had to lay him on the ground, and he was sleeping soundly at this time, humming from time to time.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Liu Fengchen withdrew his consciousness and continued to listen to the movement outside the door.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they would soon come to the door of the room where Liu Fengchen was.

Just then, the sound of conversation rang out in the hallway.

"Are Brother Wang's friends in these rooms?"

The voice is very sweet, it's a girl, and it's probably the owner of Liankou's "very heavy taste."

"It's just up ahead, and there's two more waiting to welcome us!

Hearing this, Liu Fengchen raised his eyebrows, and Lian couldn't help but pout.

Liu Fengchen looked at Lian, Lian banged the door directly, and Liu Fengchen had no choice but to follow.

The four people in the corridor were opposed, all looking at each other.

To Liu Fengchen's surprise, the two people in front of him turned out to be Terran, and the brightly dressed woman was nothing, except that her appearance was a little too soft and cute......

But the white-haired young man on the side made him have to look at it twice, looking at his appearance at most thirty, but he gave birth to a full head of white hair, even ordinary people of the human race have to be at least more than half a hundred years old to grow silver threads, and warriors are even more long-lived, it is rare to see a head full of black silk and white hair at this age.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liu Fengchen thought that the other party might be from the demon clan or another race.

He remembered that when he first came to Zhongzhou College before, he had seen many strange-looking students with different hair colors, but none of them were Terran students without exception.

Because of this, Liu Fengchen was even more curious about this white-haired man, he did not have the unique demonic aura of the demon clan, and the aura of the girl next to him was quite similar, as he expected, these two should be a pair of brothers and sisters.

If you are aging before you grow old at a young age, is it a physical disease or another mystery?

Duan Chen seemed to see the confusion in Liu Fengchen's eyes, but he didn't care, he raised his hand very politely and gave a salute, revealing a smile like a spring breeze, and said, "In Xia Duanchen, this is Sister Qianrou, I don't know my brother's surname?"

Liu Fengchen was a little surprised by Duan Chen's rather polite behavior, he thought before that if the other party showed a high-minded demeanor, he would directly forgive, and now he had to solemnly give a return salute, and said: "Don't give your surname Liu, your name is Fengchen, I don't know why Brother Duan visited the place late at night?"

"I was going to come back tomorrow morning to disturb me, but my sister had to come late at night, and I hope you will forgive me if I cause inconvenience to Brother Liu. Duan Chen pointed to Duan Qianjudo, who was staring at him with wide eyes and no one to let anyone.

Liu Fengchen waved his hand: "It's okay, if Brother Duan doesn't like it, let's go back to the room and talk about it?"

"That's very good. ”

Liu Fengchen invited Duan Chen into the room, Duan Qianrou followed, and when he walked to Lian's side, somehow, he suddenly reached out and touched Lian's fleshy face.

Lian jumped back, dodged Duan Qianrou's jade hand, and shouted, "Oh roar! want to sneak attack?

This shout was like thunder in this empty corridor, and even Liu Fengchen and Duan Chen were startled.

The two hurriedly turned around, only to see Lian's imposing appearance, and his eyes unabashedly expressed hostility towards Duan Qianrou in front of him.

The meaning is very simple and clear, that is, "If you dare to move, I will kill you!"

Duan Qianrou was directly frightened stupid, and stood in place without daring to make any moves.

Originally, she just saw that the lotus porcelain doll-like appearance was too cute, and she couldn't help but want to pinch his face for a while......

"What's going on?" Liu Fengchen walked in front and didn't see what happened just now, and he was also vigilant when he was yelled at by Lian.

Lian crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at the stunned girl with the other and shouted, "She wants to sneak attack me!"

"No......" Duan Chen was a little incredulous.

Duan Qianrou is the oldest princess in the palace, although she is spoiled on weekdays, but in addition to being a little naughty, Duan Chen can't believe that she will do this kind of thing.

Duan Chen walked over and stroked Duan Qianrou's shoulder, and said softly, "Qianrou, what happened just now?"

Duan Qianrou glanced at Duan Chen with teary eyes, wiped a handful of tears with her hand, and said aggrievedly: "I just saw that he was good-looking and wanted to touch him, but I didn't think about sneaking up on him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Fengchen immediately understood.

The incarnation of Lian is like a porcelain doll, and it is absolutely lethal to those women who like cute styles, and Qiu Shuiyao didn't want to hug him at first sight, but it caused a burst of disgust.

Looking at the girl's expression of being scared and crying, it was obvious that Lian was overly excited.

If Duan Qianrou was really sneaking up on Lian, with Lian's temper, how could she still have her life at this moment.

Knowing this, Liu Fengchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Lian with a straight face: "Lian, you are too much!

After finishing it, he said to Duan Chen: "Lotus is this character, you don't have to care." ”

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Duan Chen comforted him a few more words, and Duan Qianrou got better, but this time she didn't dare to provoke Lian anymore, and followed Duan Chen into the room without leaving an inch.

Liu Fengchen glared at Lian, and Lian raised her fist at him not to be outdone.

All three of them entered the room, and Lian was the only one left in the corridor, a pair of eyes shining, glancing around, and then gently closing the door, just as he grinned and was about to open it, the door was suddenly opened, and a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the collar with a thunderous force and dragged him in.

Duan Chen was quite interested in the lotus that was carried in Liu Fengchen's hand, and he still remembered that Bai was downstairs and it was this guy who almost pushed him, plus his cynical nature, he didn't look like a doll a few years old......
