"You deliberately had a conflict with him? You know Sukhbalu's temper very well. You must have the opportunity to stop his recklessness in advance."
The saint nodded slowly: "I have analyzed that Sun Changming is a rapidly rising powerful official in the Wu Dynasty. His temperament is round on the outside and square on the inside. As long as he hates me, he will definitely not obey their emperor's orders and strive to become me.
My husband, I am clearing the biggest obstacle for those princes."
The old woman nodded: "You have been smart since you were a child."
The saint was indifferent to such praise and asked instead: "Did those princes send someone?"
The old woman smiled, and her smile looked even more sinister: "Of course. Dawu people always think they are smart and think they can cheat without being caught, hahaha."
"The four princes secretly sent their close advisors to express their admiration for the saint and offered generous terms. I didn't tell the saint one by one. Anyway, it was about the future queen's position.
"
"Following the instructions of the Saint, I told each of them that the Saint also fell in love with their master, hehehe, and then revealed to them the contents of the assessment for selecting a son-in-law."
The Ice Saintess nodded: "You did a good job."
The old woman glanced at her and suddenly said sinisterly: "I just hope you don't forget that you are first a saint of the Thirty-sixth Division of Beiyuan, and then a disciple of Kuangdao Guoshi."
The saint gave her a cold glance: "You don't need to remind me about this! This saint is going to start practicing, so please step back."
The old woman bowed and exited the room. The moment she turned around, a sneer appeared on her lips. The saint didn't really think that the chief would trust her completely, right?
The saint has her own ideas, but these days, under the cover of the saint's light, the old woman, who is one of the six "Witches" of the thirty-six tribes of Beiyuan, is also successfully carrying out the secret orders of the great chief.
…
Hanmei returned to her residence and immediately started washing the copper spoon carefully. Sun Changming watched from the side. It was just a very ordinary spoon. It had been used for many years and left behind many ancient spoons.
trace.
But Hanmei used this spoon to cook rice with the big pot that night. After cooking the first pot, she actually cooked half of the pot again! The three of them had dinner so full that Meng Yaya was so full
He lay flat on the ground and groaned for a long time.
But the silly girl tried to pull her up: "Stop lying down, you will gain weight. Come with me to the backyard, we have very important things to do."
Meng Yaya and Sun Changming looked at Sun Changyan's round figure almost at the same time, and questions arose in their minds: Gain weight?
The eldest brother stopped the third sister: "What are you doing in the backyard again?"
The backyard was full of weeds. The last time they came to the capital, they lived in this courtyard. The courtyard was the residence of a prisoner confiscated by the Chaotian Division and had always been neglected. When Mr. Sun came last time, Ruan Sansheng was looking for someone.
We did some temporary cleaning, but we didn’t have time to clean up the backyard. Han Mei caught a delicious little black snake in the backyard last time, so before leaving, Han Mei seriously told Uncle Ruan Sansheng: Don’t clean up the backyard, keep it empty.
.
Ruan Sansheng naturally didn't dare not listen.
When Han Mei came to the capital this time, she had been thinking about going treasure hunting in the backyard, and maybe she could find a second little black snake. When the elder brother asked, Han Mei replied seriously: "Looking for something delicious."
Meng Yaya immediately understood what she meant, her face turned pale with fright, and she shrank: "I won't go, I won't go, Miss, please spare me..."
As the elder brother and the head of the family with a very high status, Mr. Sun must of course uphold justice and stop the stupid sister from harming others. But Mr. Sun felt: "Yaya, Chang Yan, this is also for your own good. You will become Da Xiu in the future.
, you always have to face all kinds of monsters and ghosts, you are so timid, will you just run away when you encounter a snake spirit in the future?"
So the eldest brother caught her from behind, grabbed Yaya's collar, and handed her over to Hanmei smoothly. Amidst Meng Yaya's pitiful pleas, Hanmei dragged her to the deserted backyard.
Mr. Sun smiled and started to deal with official business. On the one hand, there were some important decisions made by Mengjiang Dusi and Dongyue Town Fusi, which required Mr. Sun's approval; on the other hand, it was the investigation of the Northern Saint by the Capital Chaotian Division.
Ruan Sansheng came in and reported: "The Saint of the North Ice has always seemed very aloof, but some of the people around her are from different tribes in the Northern Plains. They must have their own selfish motives. They have been secretly in contact with the four princes' men these days."
The information he submitted recorded these secret contacts in detail, and Chaotian Si was really pervasive in the capital.
There were two other people in the room, Meng Hebei and Ma Qizhi. Ma Qizhi suddenly said: "I took some time to go home and heard some news. The second prince and the Saint Beibing admire each other, and the second prince and Beibing are the future queens.
The Holy Maiden promises that the Holy Maiden of the North Ice will guarantee that the thirty-six tribes in the Northern Plains will fully support the second prince in inheriting the throne."
The other three people looked at Ma Qizhi. He spread his hands and said, "Combined with the results of Brother Ruan's surveillance, isn't it clear at a glance what the truth is?"
Among all the people, only Meng Hebei was still puzzled: What is so obvious? Should I show the same look of enlightenment as they did, otherwise would I look out of place, or... too stupid?
Sun Changming said: "Among the four princes, the second prince is not the most handsome, his mother's family is not the strongest, and his personal talent is not the highest. Why should the Saint of Beibing fall in love with him? The second prince does not know Beibing.
The saint's subordinates also have contact with other princes, but from our perspective, it is really clear: the saint of Beibing has made the same promise to every prince, and maybe every prince will give Beibing
The Saint's promise is the same."
Meng Hebei finally understood, and at the same time he finally made a choice about his future positioning in his mind: He was indeed not as good at this kind of reasoning and judgment as Ma Qizhi, who was purely from the Chaotiansi faction, so he still had to develop in the direction of "fighting generals", as long as
When your realm is high, you can have anything.
Mr. Sun, on the other hand, secretly admired that the Saint of the North Ice was a female Sea King. There were four princes raised in this one pond, and there might be other fish ponds.
"The Second Prince has reached an agreement with the Holy Lady of the North Ice. How do you know about such a confidential matter?" Master Sun asked.
Ma Qizhi hesitated for a moment and said: "My father handed over the Zhongjing Town Fusi, but after so many years, in addition to the Zhongjing Town Fusi, he also has another intelligence network in his hands."
Sun Changming nodded and said, "Leave it to you?"
Ma Qizhi nodded, but Mr. Sun did not ask for this information network. It was the private property of Song Gongquan and was left to Ma Qizhi: "Use it well, don't let Mr. Song down."
By now, the inside story of the so-called "selection of a son-in-law" has gradually become clear. Master Sun and his sister do not like the Saint of the North Ice, and the Saint of the North Ice will not choose Sun Changming. Her target is a certain prince.
Mr. Sun looked outside. It was dark at night, and the half-curved moon hung in the northern sky. Mr. Sun said, "Brother Ruan, come with me."
…
To the west of the imperial city in the capital is a large and lofty mansion. All the royal relatives and powerful relatives live here. In history, countless foreign relatives have moved in when their power was at its peak.
In this area, people will often leave in despair after only three generations.
At the core of this area, there is a stern and lofty mansion. There is a plaque hanging high on the front door with the three characters "Prince Ying's Palace" written on it. This is the palace of Zhao Jizong, the royal family's eldest son.
Dazong has a high status in the royal family and is responsible for handling the clan affairs of the royal family. He does not need to be responsible to the court. He only needs to satisfy the entire royal family. In many cases, he does not even need to be fully recognized by the emperor.
All the important officials in the court knew that there was an ancestor of the Seventh Realm sitting in the palace, but only Mr. Sun knew that there was another Seventh Realm ancestor in the royal family, His Highness Zhao Jizong.
Outsiders always think that Zhao Jizong is only in the Sixth Realm.
However, Chaos Mandrill once told his boss that it had cooperated with a person from the Seventh Realm of the Human Race, and that person was Zhao Jizong! When it comes to matters like realm, Chaos Mandrill cannot make mistakes.
It is this great master that Mr. Sun is going to visit late this night.
Knocked on the door of the British Prince's Mansion - of course the doorman didn't look good on him in the middle of the night, but when he heard that he was from Chaotiansi, he didn't dare to neglect and informed him immediately.
Sun Changming and Ruan Sansheng waited in the concierge for half an hour. A man who looked like a butler came out and said, "Sir, please follow me." The butler carried a lantern in front and walked for a quarter of an hour. Sun Changming was in a side hall.
, saw His Highness Da Zongzheng, whose beard and hair were all white.
"I've met His Highness, but I had no choice but to visit you late at night. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhao Jizong's attitude was lukewarm and he said: "If you have any questions, please tell me directly. My status as king is not suitable for having much contact with foreign ministers."
Sun Changming nodded, told the "deal" between the Holy Lady of the North Ice and the princes, and then said: "This matter involves the royal family, so it is not for us and other foreign ministers to comment on how to deal with disturbing the old highness late at night.
, I’m going to take my leave.”
Zhao Jizong also waved his hand slightly: "See off the guests."
Ruan Sansheng followed Mr. Sun out, looked back at the deep courtyard of the Royal Palace, and asked, "That's it?" Mr. Sun smiled without saying a word, patted Ruan Sansheng on the shoulder: "I'm back."
Mr. Sun must work hard to muddy the waters. The transactions between the Arctic Saint and the princes will absolutely not be tolerated within the royal family.
…
The next morning, Mr. Sun was excitedly called out by silly girl: "Brother, there is something delicious today!" Mr. Sun yawned and asked casually: "What is delicious?"
"Yesterday, Meng Yaya and I were in the backyard and dug out a huge ant nest. The ant eggs inside were the size of fingers. They were white and tender. You could tell at a glance that they were very delicious. I had already cooked them in the morning. I'm just waiting for them.
Brother, get up."
"Huh?" Sun Changming was really surprised. Did they really find good ingredients in the backyard again? He got up and washed up quickly: "Come on, take me to have a look."
As soon as Mr. Sun came out of his yard, he met Ruan Sansheng. He looked ashamed and was about to kneel down to apologize: "Sir, I..." Sun Changming supported him and said, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Sansheng whispered: "Miss discovered a colony of third-level monsters and spirit-devouring ants in the backyard..."
Sun Changming was stunned: "Third-level monster?"
The capital is the place where the dragon energy of the Great Wu Dynasty gathers. It is protected by layers of formations, but a monster appears inside? But Master Sun recalled, that little black snake... I didn't check it carefully at the time, but now I think it's probably a monster.
They should be the cubs of high-level monsters - some powerful monsters are just like ordinary beasts when they are young.
"Go and see..."
But Mr. Sun was grabbed by Han Mei: "Eat first. Eating is the best thing in the world. Yaya and I have been waiting for you for a long time. You look like your belly is almost starving."
Master Sun smiled fondly: "Okay, listen to my sister and eat first."
When they arrived at the kitchen, Mr. Sun saw that half of the kitchen was filled with white ant eggs as big as the size of fingertips! The silly girl couldn't help but smile when she saw these delicious ingredients, and she was in a particularly good mood.
"So much?" Mr. Sun was surprised, and Han Mei said: "Yes, the harvest is really huge this time, enough for us to eat for several days." Han Mei pulled her eldest brother to sit down, and used an old copper spoon to remove the food from the big pot.
He filled a large bowl and gave it to his eldest brother first, and then he and Meng Yaya started eating.
Not to mention, this kind of unique and delicious ingredients tastes really good. Mr. Sun has a great appetite and eats more. Fortunately, Hanmei can cook a pot and a half now, otherwise the three of them would really not be enough...
"It's delicious!" The eldest brother praised it, and the silly girl became even happier.
Meng Yaya felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought about driving away those huge ants yesterday, they were so densely packed. At that time, she only dared to hide behind the young lady, but the young lady was so brave, waving a big spoon, with her other hand on her waist,
He rode forward step by step, and actually scared away all the ants!
She is indeed the eldest sister of my life! Meng Yaya admired and praised her in her heart.
Mr. Sun took Ruan Sansheng to the backyard. The entire backyard and back garden were completely deserted. They had never been there before. When they came in, they found: "It seems that there is nothing unusual except for the weeds and shrubs that are growing extremely densely."
An important factor in the appearance of monsters is "evil energy", which means that they must be accompanied by the destruction of the domain. However, the entire backyard is "clean" and there is no trace of evil energy.
"Where is the ant nest?" Master Sun asked, and Ruan Sansheng led the way: "I will take you there."
This house is very large, with the backyard and the back garden connected together, covering about ten acres. Ruan Sansheng led Mr. Sun around a tall flower wall, and immediately saw a huge deep hole in the ground.
There were also shovels, hoes and the like thrown next to it. It can be imagined that after collecting high-end ingredients such as ant eggs, Hanmei was so excited that she even forgot to pack these tools.
This large hole is three to four feet wide, and goes deeper, as much as ten feet! Although it has been dug beyond recognition, you can still see the winding "channels" of ant nests in the soil.
Ruan Sansheng was about to jump in immediately: "I'll go down and have a look." Sun Changming held him back, thinking there was a better way. Mr. Sun took out a guqin and gently plucked the strings.
After having his own domain, the usefulness of this treasure to Master Sun has been greatly reduced. However, when it comes to exploring the depths of the earth, the guqin is obviously more outstanding.
Sound waves were emitted one after another, and then fed back quickly, constructing a nearby thousand-foot underground structure in the guqin. Ruan Sansheng watched from the side as the adult's face gradually became serious, and he became more and more uneasy: This courtyard was originally selected at random, should it be?
Is there really any problem?
When all the first round of sound waves were retracted, Lord Sun activated his spiritual energy again and sent out a second wave with force. This time, the sound waves were more penetrating, reaching three thousand feet underground!
Ruan Sansheng stood aside, holding his breath for fear of disturbing the adults.
After a full quarter of an hour, Sun Changming put away his guqin, shook his head slightly and said: "I... am a little careless." Ruan Sansheng hurriedly wanted to ask what happened, but Mr. Sun waved his hand and said: "
Is there a black market place in the capital, or someone who knows the dark forces in the capital very well?"
Ruan Sansheng thought for a while and said: "There is someone who should know very well. I will take you there. If he dares not to say anything, don't blame me for being merciless to Chaotian Si!" When he said this, Ruan Sansheng's face had become fierce and vicious.
, this is the true face of Chaotian Si Qianhu.
Ruan Sansheng took Mr. Sun out in casual clothes and walked to the most prosperous and lively place in the capital. He found a "Bianzhen Building" that sold treasures and antiques. After Ruan Sansheng entered, he waved to help the store close the door, and waved to pull over a cabinet.
Behind the door.
There were many porcelain and jades placed in the cabinet, and they fell over with a clanking sound. The clerk and the accountant behind the counter quickly snatched them out: "You bastard, can you afford to pay for it if it breaks... Oops, it turns out to be Mr. Ruan."
"
Ruan Sansheng knocked on the counter unceremoniously: "Shut up! These things outside are all deceptive. Do you think I don't know? If you dare to talk too much, I will kill you all!"
Although the shopkeeper and the clerks are polite, they don't seem to be very afraid of Ruan Sansheng: "Master Ruan, look at what you said, these things have to be bought with money, right?"
Ruan Sansheng stopped arguing with them and asked, "Where is Yang Qiyue?"
"The shopkeeper is not here..." Before the accountant could finish speaking, Ruan Sansheng grabbed his throat and lifted him off the ground! Ruan Sansheng said sternly: "Don't forget the agreement between your Yuzhenlou and Chaotiansi! I really thought Chaotiansi would arrest him
Not with you?"
The expressions of several waiters changed and they shouted: "Hurry up, sir! We are polite to you just for the sake of Chaotiansi. Don't think that our Yuzhen Building is afraid of you. What you are doing is right."
It works for others, but it doesn’t work for us at Yuzhen Tower..."
Before they could finish talking, there was a sudden shout from upstairs: "Shut up!"
Ruan Sansheng stared at the stairs and shouted: "Yang Qiyue, get down here! Chaotiansi has something important to ask you!"
Waiting until an old man dressed like a rich man came down from upstairs, Ruan Sansheng threw aside the accountant who had turned his eyes white from holding back. Then he kicked the entire counter to pieces, pointed at the waiters and said: "All
Man, break a leg and drive out of the capital, otherwise I can guarantee that Yuzhen Tower will never be able to do business again!"
Sun Changming stood behind him with his hands behind his hands, his face stern. Before he came, he had not expected that Yuzhenlou, the "little shopkeeper" responsible for all business within a radius of 1,500 miles around the capital, was hidden in a building in the most prosperous area of the capital.
Inside a high-rise building.
But there was an agreement between Chaotiansi and Yuzhenlou, and Mr. Sun was not surprised. No matter how powerful Yuzhenlou boasted to the outside world, or whether Yuzhenlou was really that powerful, without Chaotiansi's acquiescence, they would not be able to develop.
to today’s scale and strength.
Yang Qiyue's expression changed and he said: "Sir Ruan, the people below are ignorant. Why should a big shot like you be as knowledgeable as them?"
Ruan Sansheng sneered: "I'm not a big shot, and I'm not criticizing the servants - I'm saving them, and I'm saving your Yuzhen Tower! Because there are real big shots who saw your Yuzhen Tower's arrogance and domineering behavior!"
Yang Qiyue immediately looked at Sun Changming behind him, recognized his appearance, and suddenly got excited and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Yang Qiyue has no eyesight! Mr. Sun has come to visit you, and you are welcome from afar!"
Sun Changming was also full of anger at this time. He glanced at the accountant and the clerks with disgust and said: "Remember, we are soldiers and you are bandits! How many of you have the heads to chop off if you dare to despise Chaotian Si?"
If these people are really just ordinary treasure shop employees and are rude to Chaotian Si, Ruan Sansheng may make things difficult for them, but Lord Sun will not say anything more.
But a few minions in Yuzhen Tower dared to yell at Chaotian Si, and Lord Sun couldn't tolerate it!
"Yes, yes, it's all because Yang is not strict with his subordinates. Our Yuzhenlou has always attached great importance to the agreement with Chaotiansi and never dared to violate it." Yang Qiyue nodded repeatedly. Yuzhenlou boasted very much.
They are indeed very powerful. As long as you have money, the Sixth Realm Venerable can also invite you. They may not be afraid of some important officials in the court, and even dare to assassinate some high-ranking local officials, but in the face of "present" officials like Chaotiansi,
The yamen in charge must really be honest and honest.
Sun Changming walked upstairs first: "Come up, I have something to ask you."
Just when Yang Qiyue wanted to remind the adults that there is a magic circle restriction upstairs, he saw that the magic circle in the building that had spent a lot of money to hire top magicians to set up shattered into pieces in front of Mr. Sun and disappeared without a trace!
"..." Yang Qiyue swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and could only say in his heart: It's really amazing, no wonder he has such a bad reputation.
After going upstairs, Yang Qiyue personally poured tea from a jade pot and jade cup, but Mr. Sun was not in the mood to drink it: "I would like to ask you, how has the capital's formation been penetrated?"
Yang Qiyue was stunned. As soon as he hesitated, he was severely interrupted by Mr. Sun: "If there is any concealment, the crime is the same as rebellion!"
