Chapter 16: The Game of Thrones for Adults

"I'm sorry for you!" Dongfang Wuyang hurriedly saluted.

The family and Uncle Seventeen are close, Uncle Seventeen regards Xiaoyu as his heart, and Dongfang Wuyang treats Xiaoyu second only to his own children.

Shen Qingran raised his hand to stop her and said, "This benefit is earned by Seventeen, so I will make a small opinion." Then he gave a few words of Shen He's practice, and then entered the main house with Shen Yushu and his wife, and discussed things behind closed doors.

The reason why the ancestral house knew that the phoenix was in Anying City was the news provided by Dongfang Wuyang.

Therefore, Shen Qingran is very happy to be close to the Dongfang Wuyang family.

Anyway, except for Dongfang Wuyang, everyone else in this family is surnamed Shen.

Dongfang Wuyang married Shen Yushu and was the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, half of the Shen family.

The adults were busy with business, Shen Zhiwei and the other four children happily returned to the side hall with gifts, and the second girl shouted to see the short sword that Shen He got: "Show me, I won't rob you!"

Shen He couldn't resist her, and handed over the short sword.

The second girl thought that his movements were slow, snatched it, drew the sword out of the sheath, and found that the short sword was wooden, and it was not opened, and the interest immediately went to most of it: "Shhhhh ”

She didn't expect that if this short sword was a sharp weapon that opened the edge and broke the hair, where would Shen Qingran feel at ease to let a seven or eight-year-old child carry it with him?

However, what Er Ya said on her lips was not good, but in her heart, she liked Shen He's wooden sword very much.

Dancing around twice in her hand, she was unhappy again: "Why is this wood lump so heavy!" Throwing it back to Shen He, she stared at Shen Zhiwei's orb bracelet, "Yours, also show me the strangeness." ”

Shen Zhiwei took off the bracelet and showed it to her, and also asked Shen He to borrow the sword.

It's really heavy, and thanks to the awakened occult arts, it has improved physical fitness, otherwise it won't be able to pick it up at all.

The dagger was silvery-white, with a beautiful calcined pattern and a cold metallic sheen.

Knock it with your hand, and the sound is not much different from ordinary hardwood.

"This is adamantium. Shen He was a little knowledgeable and said, "The water and soil of the Endless Continent are not suitable for the growth of King Kong wood, and the existing King Kong wood is all transported from Yunzhong State. ”

Shen Zhiwei followed the master's class, and only yesterday he saw the map of this world.

Being reminded by Shen He, she immediately remembered another continent with only a rough outline on the map, and said, "Yunzhong Prefecture where aliens live?"

"Yes, adamantium wood is produced in Yunzhong Prefecture. Shen He pointed to the bead chain that Erya wore on his wrist, "Your string of beads is called Yuecui." The best moon pearl in the world is produced in the Jade Rabbit Department of the Desolate Clan, and the Desolate Clan is also in Yunzhong Prefecture. ”

Shen Zhi frowned slightly and said, "This sword and bracelet are from Yunzhong Prefecture, aren't they particularly precious?"

Since the breakdown of the alliance between humans and non-human aliens, the two camps have been at war.

Although the result was not a tragic one, the alien races successively evacuated the Endless Continent after the defeat and went to the distant Yunzhong State, and there was almost no communication for thousands of years.

In Shen Zhiwei's opinion, Yunzhong Prefecture's specialties are not common in the Endless Continent, and it must take a lot of effort to get them.

Shen He didn't know that Shen Zhiwei was already thinking about whether Shen Qingran had bad intentions, and said, "It's very precious, it's about the same as a hundred-year-old mussel bead." But the sword and the moon bead chain are more practical than the clam beads, and I like the elder's gifts. ”

Shen Zhiwei heard this, and secretly scolded himself for being suspicious.

If Shen Qingran came to the door with a purpose that was not pure, how could Dongfang Wuyang allow them to accept his gift?

Shen He said again: "Our Shen family has dealings with the alien races in Yunzhong Prefecture. In the year you were born, I saw on the street a man from the Sheep tribe of the Wild Tribe, who had two horns on his head, and was very tall. Many people surrounded him to point out, and he smiled, not annoyed at all, and his temper was good. ”

"What about my ointment?" Erya interjected, "The elder gave me the ointment and gave me the peace buckle. The ointment let my mother put it away, and it was safely buckled in my hand, which was not as good as Sansan's bead chain. ”

"The Jade Rabbit Department of the Desolate Clan is also good at medicine, and maybe your ointment is a specialty of the Jade Rabbit Department. Shen He guessed, and looked like a small face on the floor to train his sister, "The gift is someone else's heart, whether you like it or not, you can't disdain it." ”

Erya deliberately raised the bar: "What if I give you a piece of?"

Shen He immediately stretched out his hand to catch her: "This is called a prank, don't you know how to judge?"

Erya was very clever and hid behind Xiaoyu, pulled him as a target, and said, "You hit me." Beware of me suing Daddy!"

"Go, I'm not afraid of you suing. Shen He stopped and said to Shen Zhiwei, "Sansan Mo wants to learn from her naughtiness, it will always be annoying to make trouble." ”

"My sister didn't cause trouble. Shen Zhiwei felt that Er Ya was what a child should look like, and pursed his lips and smiled, "My eldest brother has read more books than me, and knows more things than me, can you continue to talk about Yunzhongzhou?" ”

Shen He was a little shy, and his white and tender face was slightly red: "What I said was not as good as what the master said." Sansan, what do you want to know?"

"You know, I want to know everything about Yunzhong State. "Shen Zhiwei knows very little about foreign races.

"Then I'll tell you about interracial ......"

Shen He sat down and showed twelve points of seriousness.

He didn't know much about the alien race, he knew that the desolate race could change the shape of the beast, and there were as many kinds of birds and beasts as there were in the world, and the desolate tribe would have as many branches.

In addition to the desolate clan, the most famous alien race in Yunzhong Prefecture is the merman, who is good at weaving silk and tears into beads.

However, the mermaids are not purely alien races in Yunzhongzhou, they have a settlement in the South China Sea, and occasionally trade some land specialty goods with human merchants.

Speaking of which, I have to mention An Yingcheng.

This small city is located in the southeast of the mainland, not far from the South China Sea, with many valleys and hilly basins and few plains.

Starting from An Ying City, you can reach the rich Qi Kingdom by crossing the Great Snow Mountain to the west, which is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Seven Peerless Sword Sect; going south through the Reckless Demon Forest is Yunzhong Prefecture, the territory of foreign races; going straight to the north is Chaoge City, and then north of Chaoge City is the Southern Wei Dynasty, Donglin and other small countries.

It is said that with such a good geographical advantage, An Ying City has to be a small city no matter what.

In fact, this is not the case, the big snow mountain on the west side of An Ying City is extremely high and steep, like a moat.

Dongfang Wuyang's friend Luo Shenghuan came from Qi on the other side of the Great Snow Mountain.

The Demon Forest leading to Yunzhong Prefecture is more dangerous than the Great Snow Mountain, and when people enter the Demon Forest, they need to face not only the extremely harsh natural environment, but also murderous beasts and demon plants.

It is difficult for An Yingcheng to form commercial exchanges with Qi and Yunzhongzhou, and the goods exported to the outside are mostly medicinal materials, strange stones, and exotic beasts, which are not large-scale, and the development is very slow.

After analyzing the development prospects of An Yingcheng, Shen Zhiwei remembered the doubts of the past: How could my father choose to settle in An Yingcheng, a remote and backward small city, because An Yingcheng is the hometown of Dongfang Wuyang?

Her eyes rolled, and she let go of her hearing, wondering what her father and mother were talking about with Elder Shen Qingran.

As a result, nothing was heard.

Obviously, the three of them were talking about secret matters, and set up a ban to prevent snooping, so as not to leak the news.

Shen Zhiwei was not discouraged, and turned to Shen He to inquire about the situation: "Brother, is it the first time for the elder to come to our house? ”

Shen He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Of course you haven't seen it." The last time the elder came to the door, you were still in your mother's belly, and the second girl didn't start remembering. By the way, the elders weren't elders at that time. ”

Through the information he revealed, Shen Zhiwei pieced together conjectures:

Shen Qingran and Shen Yushu are a couple, and the three of them may have a safe path through the Demon Forest.

Shen Qingran walked this road to Yunzhong Prefecture, and when he came back, he handed over the path to the ancestral mansion in exchange for the position of elder.

Shen Yushu and his wife stayed in Anying City to develop, and they only waited for the opening of the trade route, and they could immediately seek huge benefits.

Now, Shen Yushu is suspicious of the Shen family in An Yingcheng, and Dongfang Wuyang is also opposed by some people in the Dongfang family, and the two couples are afraid that they are discussing with Shen Qingran how to deal with the Shen family and the Dongfang family.

Facts have proved that Shen Zhiwei's conjecture is indeed reasonable, Shen Qingran only stepped out of her house with the front foot, and asked the Dongfang family with the back foot: Why was Erya kidnapped in An Ying City? The immortal flower raised in the Dongfang Family Medicine Garden was actually stolen, did the Dongfang family lose the qualification to protect An Ying City?

Here, the Dongfang family is discussing how to answer, and over there, Shen Qingran is angry with the Shen family in An Yingcheng: Erya was kidnapped, why do you respond negatively?

The interrogation from the elders of the ancestral house should not be perfunctory.

The Shen family in An Yingcheng convened the clansmen to discuss, and the younger brother of the head of the family visited Shen Yushu in person, which was to make amends and compete for the benefits, hoping that Lord Shen Yushu would have a large number of them, and not worry about them.

Shen Yushu politely refused.

There were also people from the Dongfang family who came to look for Dongfang Wuyang, but they couldn't enter the door.

About half a month later, this power game related to An Yingcheng's future ended with Shen Yushu and Dongfang Wuyang winning.

An Yingcheng's Shen family removed the head of the family, and the new head of the family worked together with Shen Yushu; the Dongfang family also changed, and Dongfang Wuyang borrowed Shen Qingran's momentum, and with the full support of the eldest brother of the head of the family, he grasped part of the real power.

The Li family, which also belongs to the three major forces of An Yingcheng, has not changed, but the Shen family and the Dongfang family have changed, and the Li family has also been affected.

After solving the big problem, Shen Qingran came to Shen Zhiwei's house again, talked a few words with Shen Yushu and his wife, and took the three brothers and sisters to the ancestral temple to check the occult talent and spiritual root.

It's a pity that Shen He and Erya were not tested to have occult talents or spiritual roots, and Shen Zhiwei's occult arts were not projected in the crystal wall where the talent was detected.

"Her age is too young, her talent is unstable, and her spiritual roots have not been formed. To put it simply, Sansan's occult art is still in a state of slumber and has not yet ushered in a true awakening. Moreover, she doesn't have to be a Xuan Master, she may also be an ordinary person born with a strong divine sense or a future cultivator. Shen Qingran pulled Shen Zhiwei to study for a long time, and said the conclusion, "Let's observe for a few years." With such a young child, even if you are willing to let her go with me, I am not happy. ”

Shen Yushu and Dongfang Wuyang glanced at each other and accepted Shen Qingran's suggestion.

That night, Shen Qingran dined at Shen Zhiwei's house, and said goodbye and left after dawn.

It was also on this day that the drug thieves and the captured spies, fine works and other prisoners were sentenced, the serious crimes were beheaded, and the minor crimes were all exiled to work in the mines, and the martial law of the whole city brought about by the theft of the immortal flower came to an end.

As for the girl who was sent away and was suspected of being a descendant of the phoenix, the ancestral house of Chao Gecheng used the phoenix that was captured alive as a guide and cursed the girl whose whereabouts were unknown. Even if you can't kill her, it can also make her vitality hurt, and she won't live to be sixteen years old in this life.

Chop the grass to eradicate the roots, and Asagashi will not let go of anything that may threaten them.

When Shen Zhiwei learned of this, he was surprised by Chaogecheng's approach.

The reality is not a bitter revenge novel, the Shen family has stood in the world for thousands of years, and it has survived the wind and rain for a long time, so can it be used to scruple about a descendant of the phoenix who has not grown up?

She also knew that she needed to adapt to this savage world where power is truth, so she consulted her master.
