"Ten thousand taels of silver... or one night?!" Pingyang looked at Chi Guyan in disbelief. In her heart, Chi Guyan represented wisdom.
When have you ever done something stupid
But now Chi Guyan is clearly doing something stupid.
Is a shabby house worth ten thousand taels a night? Then wouldn't my Pingyang Mansion be worth one million, or more than ten million? Ten thousand taels of silver, let alone a house, could buy an entire village and make them rich.
"You think you can use it just because you have money?" Fang Zhengzheng glanced at Chi Guyan again, and didn't seem to appreciate it.
Chi Guyan didn't answer, but stood quietly at the door, waiting for Fang Zhengzheng's decision.
Pingyang was a little angry. His sister Yan had given in like this, but this shameless guy still dared to refuse? It was simply unbearable.
Just when he was about to speak.
Fang Zhengzheng had already spoken first.
"Mom, make a floor bunk for this daughter of the Divine Marquis Mansion. I want to see how many nights you can afford to stay!" After Fang Zhengzheng finished speaking, he turned and entered the back room.
Qin Xuelian was left with a puzzled look on her face.
Ever since Fang Zhengzheng killed the Green Fire Wolf on Cangling Mountain when he was seven years old, the name Fang Zhengzheng has become a household name. In the following years, it became even more popular throughout the country.
There have never been a few people who entered the Fang family to get engaged or proposed marriage over the years.
But Qin Xuexue never expressed her position.
She just felt that her son would one day fly out of Beishan Village and live in the county or even the capital. How could the women in these villages be a good match for her son
But since the last time Chi Guyan lived in her home, Qin Xuelian has found Chi Guyan pleasing to the eye in every possible way. She is well-informed and sensible, and has a superb temperament. She looks like a lady at first glance.
At that time, Qin Xuelian was sure that Chi Guyan was her daughter-in-law.
But why is this smart son of mine so suddenly confused today
The person in front of her is not an ordinary lady, but a daughter of the Shenhou Mansion. She is truly the most talented woman in the Great Xia Dynasty, a young master from an aristocratic family. The princes, nobles, and even the prince were all respectful when they saw him.
There are countless people who flatter and admire you.
Now, people take the initiative to deliver it to your door. Why did his son still refuse
The most important thing is…
This rich lady of the Divine Marquis Mansion was not angry at all, but instead gave her money. What happened to this world? Could it be that this rich lady from the Divine Marquis Mansion has really fallen in love with him
"The princess likes my house, so feel free to live in it. You can stay there for as many days as you want. Don't mention the money. Your Highness, the princess, please come into the house quickly!" Qin Xuelian made her own decision without even thinking about it. Don't give Fang Zheng face.
In this matter, as a mother, you must make a decisive decision.
Although the other party's family background is really exaggerated, as a mother, she will never think that this is a bad thing.
Even if there is a slight chance. Will give it a try too.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Chi Guyan smiled slightly, then walked to Qin Xuelian's side and gently supported Qin Xuelian's arm. Then he glanced at Pingyang who looked unhappy next to him, and walked lightly into the door of Fang's house. .
"Zheng'er, go and grill some meat. The princess likes it!" Qin Xuelian was gently supported by Chi Guyan. She could not hold back the joy in her heart and smiled brightly.
It seemed that he had completely forgotten the unpleasantness of today.
Being able to be supported once by the proud daughter of the Five Prefectures in the Northern Desert, the daughter of the Shenhou Mansion. For a peasant woman in a mountain village, this was something she could never dream of doing.
"You want to eat it and bake it yourself!" Fang Zhengzheng looked disdainful.
"Why are you kidding? If your mother tells you to bake it, bake it as soon as possible. Bake more. Then send some to your uncle Yangping's house. He is injured now and needs to eat some meat!" Fang Houde, who was sitting in the hall, heard this. Fang Zhengzheng immediately shouted.
Do you dare to rebel, you brat
When Pingyang heard this, a smile appeared on his lips: "Uncle, auntie. I like to eat roast rabbit!"
"Zheng'er, do you hear that? Roast two green rabbits!" Fang Houde laughed immediately when he heard Ping Yang's words, and then turned his head and shouted to Fang Zhengzheng in the back room with a sullen face.
"Father, mother, I have a question to ask you?" Fang Zhengzheng's voice came out from the back room with a faint resentment.
"what is the problem?"
"Am I biological?"
"You brat, if you don't go and bake, I'll break your legs!"
"Okay, okay, uncle, hurry up and do it. It doesn't matter if you interrupt me. I have this 'Broken Jade Ointment' on me. It's prepared by an imperial doctor. It's a royal treasure. It has the effect of regenerating broken bones!" Pingyang didn't mind watching the fun at all. It's a big deal, he said as he took out a small white jade bottle from his arms and waved it in his hand.
Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian looked at each other, both looking at a loss. The person in front of them was the princess. What did the princess say
Do you want to execute it
Just when Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian didn't know what to do, a figure quickly rushed out of the back room, and then blew past Pingyang like a gust of wind.
"Good stuff, not bad!"
Before Pingyang could even react, the small white jade bottle in his hand had already reached Fang Zhengzheng's hand, and was stuffed into his arms unceremoniously by the place.
Just about to start scolding.
Then he saw Fang Zhengzheng had already gone out: "I'm going to have a barbecue!"
Of course, Pingyang couldn't just let Fang Zhengzheng grab something and run away. Just as he was about to chase him out, he was pulled back by Chi Guyan.
"The meat he grills is the most delicious thing in Beishan Village."
When Pingyang heard Chi Guyan's words, he didn't believe it, but when he thought about how hungry he was and how he had been eating coarse grains in the military camp these days, he finally endured it.
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you after you finish roasting the meat!" Pingyang stomped his feet angrily, letting Fang Zhengzheng drift away.
…
A meal that was quite enjoyable.
Especially Pingyang, whose clear eyes were so bright that he felt like a hungry wolf seeing a fat lamb.
The princess's airs were completely ignored.
Eat big mouthfuls of meat, drink big bowls of wine, and have a mouthful of greasy food. He looked like the reincarnation of a starving ghost. His little body actually ate a whole green rabbit and tore off a fat leg of lamb. Only then was he satisfied. burped.
As night falls, Beishan Village once again regains its former tranquility, with a bright moon hanging high in the night sky. Silver moonlight fell on the courtyard of the hut.
Fang Zhengzheng was lying on the couch in the courtyard with his legs crossed. There was a plate of fruits and a bottle of fruit wine beside him. He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be enjoying himself very much.
And a figure also appeared in the small courtyard at this time. Under the moonlight, the shadow on the ground showed exquisite curves. She was wearing a long pink dress, which looked like a stunning blooming flower in the night.
Chi Guyan has already changed into women's clothing.
Moreover, he walked towards Fang Zhengzheng step by step. Finally, he stopped at Fang Zhengzheng's right hand side, but he didn't speak and just stood quietly.
A villager was lying on a reclining chair, and standing next to him was the daughter of the dignified Shenhou Mansion. It was impossible for anyone to believe this scene.
But just like that, he appeared in a small courtyard in Beishan Village.
Fang Zhengzheng's eyes were still slightly closed, as if he didn't know that Chi Guyan was coming to his side. He grabbed the fruit wine next to him, took a sip from the spout, and then put it down again.
Chi Guyan looked at the fruit wine that Fang Zhengzheng put down again.
She stretched out her slender hand, and the fruit wine came into her hand. Then, an astonishing scene appeared. Chi Guyan actually took a sip from the spout like Fang Zhengzheng.
Then, he placed the fruit wine in its original place as if nothing had happened.
Fang Zhengzheng's eyes moved, but... But he didn't open his eyes, he just turned over and continued to lie down in a more comfortable position.
Chi Guyan didn't speak. Stand still.
This deadlock continued like this, until the bright moon hung high in the sky, the night was slightly cool, and the mountain village was so quiet that it was like being completely asleep.
"You've done everything you want to do, why are you still here?" Finally, Fang Zhengzheng spoke. However, his eyes did not open.
"If things are done, I will naturally leave. If I don't leave now, it means that the things are not done yet." Chi Guyan also spoke.
"You should have handed over the matters on Canling Mountain to Xinghou. Is there anything else under Canling Mountain that is worthy of the daughter of your majestic God's Palace?"
"have!"
"The world is like chess. Is it necessary to abandon a piece on the chessboard?"
"no need."
"Then why don't you leave?"
"Because there is still something unfinished."
Fang Zhengzheng was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Cangling Mountain is a trap, a trap set up by the demon clan, and its purpose is related to the Zhenguo Mansion. And when you came to Cangling Mountain, you also set up a trap. If my guess is correct, Cang Ling Mountain is a trap." You have already made arrangements at the foot of Lingshan Mountain."
"Yes, I arranged in advance for a thousand red feather guards and five thousand elite troops of the Shenhou Mansion to hide at the foot of Cangling Mountain." Chi Guyan did not deny it.
"Yet we've been together for a month and you haven't said a word about it."
"So what if I mention it?"
"If I had known about such a thing, I would not have gone out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Instead, I would have rushed back to Beishan Village immediately, and then drove those sergeants out!"
"Did the results make any difference?"
"Of course it's different. If I rush back to Beishan Village one day earlier, the people in Beishan Village will have one less day of suffering."
"Has Beishan Village suffered less over the years? Droughts, landslides, and fewer and fewer prey. So, what changes have you made for Beishan Village in the past eight years?"
"Change?" Fang Zhengzheng's tone paused. Of course he could answer that he had changed for Beishan Village, but he couldn't answer.
The life of Beishan Village is better than that of other villages, but that is relative.
On the whole, the villagers in Beishan Village are still very miserable. Apart from having enough to eat, they basically have no remaining expenses.
Even some of the money I made outside over the years has basically been put into Beishan Village.
How can one person's power, especially the power of a useless and unknown person, change the direction of the entire village
"If my guess is correct, you want to stay in Beishan Village and never step into the court again, never take part in the final martial arts test of the court test, and never again take part in the middle palace test." Chi Guyan continued.
Fang Zhengzheng didn't say anything. He really thought so. He was afraid that something similar like today would happen again. He was worried about the revenge of external forces.
He wanted to stay in Beishan Village forever and do his best to protect his parents and all the "relatives" who had lived together in the village for eight years.
"With your current strength, can you protect Beishan Village for a while, but can you protect Beishan Village for a lifetime?" Chi Guyan's voice sounded again.
"I have my own way to protect Beishan Village." Fang Zhengzheng said calmly.
"Yes, I believe you can do it, but you can't do it as fast as me! Only when one person is powerful enough can he change a village! If it were me, with just one order, Beishan Village could Become the richest village in the five prefectures of the Northern Desert!" Chi Guyan said confidently.
Fang Zhengzheng did not deny it. Because what Chi Guyan said is true. A proud daughter of a generation can indeed bring about earth-shaking changes in Beishan Village with just one order.
and. The most important thing is that people rely on the Shenhou Mansion, but the Shenhou Mansion relies on her.
A young lady from a military family has allowed the entire family to bathe in her glory. It would be inappropriate to talk about the second generation of rich people and the second generation of officials.
"It's a pity that I can change a village, a county, and even a prefecture. However, I can't change a dynasty or the fate of the entire human race!" Chi Guyan's voice suddenly became a little low at this moment, but his face His expression remained as calm as ever.
"The top two dragons are amazing geniuses, and they can bring peace to the world. I have heard this sentence before!" Fang Zhengzheng did not take Chi Guyan's words. Instead, he said inexplicably.
"Do you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
"But I believe it, because the Holy Word of Heaven cannot be wrong! Maybe you will think that I did not take Beishan Village into account in this matter. That is because I look at the overall situation. You may not understand, but among human beings, there is always If someone wants to do something like this, if you don’t do it, then only I will do it. Just like there are always heroes and heroes in a world.”
"You think you're a hero?"
"No, I'm just a chess piece, a chess piece held in someone's hand."
"Even the dignified Miss Shenhoufu is a chess piece, so naturally I am a chess piece, and a chess piece that is not as good as yours." Fang Zhengzheng said with a smile.
"There are a few questions I've always wanted to ask you." Chi Guyan did not continue the question, but said suddenly.
"Is there anything else you don't know?"
"Yes, for example: why can you learn other people's moves so quickly, why can you unlock the Map of All Things, and why can you win against people in the late Amaterasu stage not long after Amaterasu!"
"I can answer you for the first question, but I don't want to answer you for the second question. I don't know the third question myself, so naturally I am too lazy to answer you." Fang Zhengzheng said seriously.
This time, Chi Guyan didn't speak, but his bright eyes were somewhat expectant, quietly waiting for Fang Zhengzheng's answer.
"I successfully entered Taoism eight years ago, and gathered stars a year later. Because I didn't know the realm of cultivation, I kept gathering stars. I gathered stars for seven years, so..."
"It means that you have realized many ways of all things?"
"I don't know if it's a lot. Anyway, I probably did the math and figured there must be two or three hundred, right?" Fang Zhengzheng replied casually.
"Two or three hundred..." Chi Guyan was slightly startled, and then her eyes showed strong shock. This was the first time that she had lost her composure in front of Fang Zhengyi.
However, she soon recovered, and the strong shock even turned into a hint of joy. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on her face.
Like a delicate flower in full bloom.
The peerless youthfulness moved Fang Zhengyi, who had his eyes slightly closed, but he was not moved by it because he always felt that he and Chi Guyan were not from the same world.
One is for the country and the other is for the family. How can such two people meet
"I know what your problem is!"
Just when Fang Zhengzheng was sighing that he and Chi Guyan were not the same kind of people, Chi Guyan spoke again, and there seemed to be a slight excitement in his bright eyes.
This is extremely rare.
At least, this was the first time Fang Zhengzheng saw such an expression in Chi Guyanlu's eyes.
"What's my problem?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be a big tree in your little world, and there are fruits one by one on this tree. Each fruit is about the same size, and the whole big tree is covered with them!" Chi Guyan Seems extremely certain.
However, this time it was Fang Zhengzheng who was surprised.
Everyone's small world is different, which is related to the process and method of cultivation, just like the first small world I entered in Xinhe Mansion, which was the realm of rocks.
So…
How could Chi Guyan guess what his little world looked like
This is unscientific!
Fang Zhengzheng didn't understand, but considering Chi Guyan's expression and words just now, he was somewhat expecting it.
"So what?" Fang Zhengzheng asked.
"Do you... want to be a chess player?" Chi Guyan smiled again when he heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, but he did not continue with the previous question.
"A chess player?" Fang Zhengzheng wanted to say to Chi Guyan, your thinking is jumping too fast, isn't it? Just now I was talking about playing chess with you, and you wanted to jump to cultivation. Now that we are talking about cultivation, you are talking about playing chess with me
"Yes, didn't you say that you are a chess piece that is inferior to me? Then if you don't want to be a chess piece, you can only be a chess player, and then control the fate of others."
"I don't want to be a chess player." Fang Zhengzheng shook his head, and then continued: "Actually, in addition to chess pieces and chess players, there is another kind of person named bystander! There is an old saying to describe this kind of person, Bystanders are clear! This clear is sober clear!"
"The bystander is clear..." Chi Guyan read this sentence softly, and slowly fell into silence. After a while, he finally spoke: "Actually, the bystander is clear has always been my wish, and I have worked hard for it before, but , but in the end, I still couldn't do it completely. I didn't expect you... "
At the end of Chi Guyan's words, he did not continue. Instead, he raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "Do you want to defeat me?"
