Chapter 012: Soul Eater (1)
The hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
After the flattery of An Zhengfei and An Hongyi, and An Sanyang, the head of the family, and the core elders of the An family also flattered him from time to time to say a few good words, so some of his depressed mood just now gradually relaxed. The most important thing is that An Yixiao's situation is clear, let alone a mere mortal, even if it is an ordinary fifth-order pharmacist, he doesn't want to cure people, and to support death is to use the 'Soul Rejuvenation Grass' to temporarily wake people up, but this is definitely a symptom but not a cure, and it doesn't take an hour for people to continue to be unconscious.
Therefore, Shen Houzhi was not half worried, An Ruoni was no longer reconciled, and in the end she could only agree to the young master's conditions to ask him to come to his rescue.
Everyone in the An family also thought the same way in their hearts, so they didn't bother to have fun with the past at all, and they might offend Shen Houzhi, a fifth-order pharmacist who was standing behind the Duke of Qin's mansion, how much it would be worthwhile!
"I heard that the lord of the deserted city on your side is the head of the three families of the An family, the Qin family, and the Li family, who compete every five years and win?" asked Shen Houzhi after taking a sip of tea.
"Indeed, this has always been the rule in our border desert city, and it has been going on for decades, and the royal family has also acquiesced in this situation. An Sanyang, the acting head of the family, replied.
"Hehe, that's interesting. Shen Houzhi smiled, and then asked, "It is said that the Lord of Ancheng has been in office for more than ten years?"
"Well, my father has been in office for more than fourteen years, and he will be three in four or five months. An Zhengfei interjected.
"Oh, then you have to hurry up, as long as Miss An nods, with our Qin State Mansion behind you, your An family's status in this deserted city will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
As soon as Shen Houzhi's proud words fell, a broken cry came from afar-
"No need!"
Hearing this, everyone in the An family swiped and stood up, with different expressions on their faces, and they couldn't hide their shock.
"Without the care of the Duke of Qin in these years, my An family's status in the border desert city is also as stable as Mount Tai!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a radiant An Yi walking in, followed by An Ruoni and Ouyang Wannian.
"Lord Anjo!"
"Head of the house!"
"Father!"
Shen Houzhi and everyone in the An family exclaimed together.
"What's the matter, the old man didn't die, are you surprised?" An smiled and said coldly.
"Father, what did you say, after you fell ill, we were all anxious, ba... Ba ......" An Zhengfei said more and more quietly, and was stared at by his father's tax eyes so that cold sweat broke out on his head, and finally he couldn't speak.
"Hmph, all of them are anxious? I've been in a coma these days, look at what you've done one by one?" An Yi smiled and became more and more angry, these losers, if it weren't for Xiao Nifu's big life, they would have been forced to die.
An Sanyang, An Zhengfei, the three brothers and the elders of the An family were all silent when they saw An Yixiao, and the absolute authority of the head of the family was undoubtedly displayed at this moment.
Shen Houzhi looked at An Yi and reprimanded the people of the An family, although he was not included in the language, it made him feel like he was slapped in the face, everyone in the An family was afraid of the authority of his family master, but what was his identity? Even if he did not have the support of the Qin State Mansion behind him, with his noble status as a fifth-order pharmacist, he did not have to be afraid of the lord of this city at all.
Therefore, Shen Houzhi ignored An Yixiao's anger, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "City Lord An, if you want to discipline your family, you don't have to come in front of Shen, right? Don't blame me for not reminding you, that 'Soul Rejuvenation Grass' can only make you sober temporarily, I dare to say that it won't take an hour, and you will be unconscious like before." ”
Looking at An Yixiao, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, Shen Houzhi thought that the matter had come to this point anyway, and he didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore, so he sneered and directly picked out the conditions: "It's okay if you wake up now, anyway, Shen has already put forward conditions on behalf of our young master, as long as you promise to let Miss An marry our young master, according to our young master's love for Miss An, the identity of a flat wife should not be able to run away, and then Shen will naturally not sit idly by and ignore your condition, Lord An." How to decide, please also ask the city lord to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to waste each other's time. ”
Everyone in the An family heard mixed feelings and worries, the joy was that the head of the family was not all right, but only temporarily sober, and the marriage with the Qin State Mansion was still expected, and the worry was that the temper of the head of the family was clear to them, but they were afraid that they would not agree to the marriage conditions proposed by Shen Yaoshi.
"Pharmacist Shen, right, seeing that you are so sure, you should know the real reason why Lord An Cheng is unconscious?" Ouyang Wannian ignored the tense atmosphere and asked lazily.
"The old man naturally knows, I don't know what kind of shit luck your kid has taken and got a 'Soul Rejuvenation Grass', but this 'Soul Rejuvenation Grass' can only make the City Lord An awake for about an hour, and after the medicine is over, the City Lord will naturally pass out again. When Shen Houzhi said this, he glanced at Ouyang Wannian proudly, and said, "As for why this is happening, you don't understand it when I tell you kid, don't mention it!"
"Hehe, isn't it just a little soul eater? Ouyang Wannian smiled disdainfully.
"What, you...... You're actually ...... Know the ...... Soul Eater?" Shen Houzhi was so shocked that he stammered.
"Soul Eater, what is this?"
Everyone in the An family was at a loss, and even An Yixiao, who was the head of the An family and the city lord of the border desert city, was also at a loss. Only An Sanyang's face changed suddenly, and then returned to normal, except for Ouyang Wannian, no one noticed his abnormality.
"Hehe!" Ouyang Wannian smiled faintly, his expression seemed to feel that Shen Houzhi was making a fuss.
"Who the hell are you, how do you know about the Soul Eater?" Shen Houzhi was indeed shocked, how could such a secret existence as the Soul Eater be known by a mortal?
"It's just a soul eater, and I know what's so big about it. Ouyang Wannian glanced at Shenhou with disdain, then looked at An Sanyang, who was standing on the left side of Shenhou, and pointed at him playfully and smiled: "He...... Don't you know that too?"
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about?" An Sanyang's face turned red, and a trace of panic flashed across his expression for a moment, and then he scolded angrily: "You kid spews people with blood, I don't know what a soul eater is!"
Ouyang Wannian still looked lazy, and said lightly: "I just mentioned that you also know about the Soul Eater Worm, and you didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?
"You...... You're just empty-hearted!" An Sanyang's forehead was swollen, and he didn't know whether he was said to be critical or angry, glaring at Ouyang Wannian and saying sharply: "Boy, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
An Yixiao, who had already seen a hint of clues, widened his eyes when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "You dare to show me unkindly to Brother Ouyang?"
