oman wasn’t sentimental at all. ‘We aren’t death soldiers, not even bodyguards,’ she said. ‘We just take from people, cause them harm, and help them avoid disasters. At best, we're just thugs.’ ” 。If...The Xiao family's spirits lifted, and finally standing straight, their legs no longer trembled. 。The old matriarch nodded, "A legitimate wife shouldn't always think about how much affection her husband can give her. Competing for favor is something concubines do. What you should do is to control those concubines and make them listen to you." 。It doesn't matter how many concubines a man has, but there can only be one wife. 。Go! Stand tall and walk straight. Keep up with your husband. 。"No one can destroy the Ye family, not even the flamboyant Imperial Palace!" Xiao Sh beyaz walked with his head held high and chest puffed out. He felt that since marrying into the General's Mansion, this was the most resolute time for Old Madam Ye, and also the most resolute time for himself. 。Yes! This is what a first-rank General's Mansion should look like, this is the grandeur of a first-rank General's Mansion, this truly lives up to the old master's decades of illustrious military achievements. 。Finally, everyone was gone. Jun Tao helped up the old madam's arm and said, "Madam, let's go too!"The old madam tried to stand but couldn't. She exerted herself but failed and sat back down in her chair. 。

Jun Tao was taken aback, "What's wrong Did your legs go numb"

The old madam shook her head, a bitter expression on her face, "It's not numbness, it's fear, I'm shaking. "

I told the mistress not to be afraid, because I was afraid myself. 。I don't think she would work in the palace of splendor either, but I know the Palace of Splendor definitely works. 。It's not just Ye Jia, but this entire world. As long as someone in Yanhuagong moves, they will instantly turn everything into ashes and dust. 。” Jun Tao was also flustered. She asked the old lady, "Then why do you still treat the second mistress like that" The old lady sighed, “What else can I do Am I supposed to be afraid And then both of us face each other trembling Who would hold this family together The Ye family isn't what it used to be, and Jing Sheng doesn't have his elder brother's ability or courage" 。Then, he could only rely on Xiao Shubi and joining forces with the Xiao family to stay in the Inner City of Lin'an. Otherwise, sooner or later, someone would force him out. 。When the hour of Zi passed, Ye Wen like a fish on the verge of death thrown back into the water, instantly became clearheaded. 。Not only was her headache gone and the chill off, she could even smell the fragrance of Master Lǐ's true essence. 。This once made her a little confused, she almost suspected that Shi Lifan took advantage of her sleep to transfer her. 。But obviously not, because she reached out and touched her own pillow, and the few deeds under the pillow. 。She clutched the deed in her hand, holding it up to her eyes. Before she even had a chance to open them, she heard someone chuckle softly, "What a greedy one, awake already dreaming of these mountains." 。But only six mountains How expensive can they be If you want mountains, this deity could give you all the mountains beneath us. Why must you insist on these few

She opened her eyes with a smile and reached for his hand, "These are close to Lin'an, making it convenient to come and go." 。I'm not as capable as you, I can't perform the Great Displacement Technique, so you moved the mountain too far for me to reach it myself. 。These are the most suitable ones, unfortunately they are already owned. I have the land deeds though, I'll have to pay them back later. 。"By the way, Shi Liyuan, do you know how much these hills are worth How much should I pay"

Shi Liyuan was also stumped, "This deity has never bought a mountain before, so how would I know its value Why don't we turn back and have Lian Shi inquire about it for you"

However, in my opinion, there's no need to give him the money. Just tell him that the mountain has been requisitioned by the Yan Huagong. Would he dare to accept silver from the Yan Huagong Well, who owns the mountain" He took the deed and looked at it. "Quan Qingyun, which son of the Quan family"

"The third son, Prince Renwang's..." 。She folded the deed carefully and put it back under her pillow. “Just a few mountains, no need to bring out the name of Yanghua Palace. I don’t want to owe someone favors because of a few mountains.” 。 。"Shi Lifen, why did you get my second brother to come down three times to apologize for his leg What's the reason for this" He looked at this girl with a bad expression on her face. He was really helpless, "When will you stop meddling in other people's business""I'm just curious!""What's there to be curious about Didn't you already analyze it pretty clearly yourself" 。“It’s my own analysis, isn’t it If they don’t acknowledge it, then I’ve wasted my time analyzing. Forget it, you wouldn’t understand anyway. I still have to figure out my second brother later.” 。"Shi Li Yuan, how did you get out of the Gathering Spirit Array Didn't I tell you not to leave" He reached out to rub her head, "Don't worry, my spiritual power has recovered to 70%, I can still cast binding spells. I won't let the Gathering Spirit Array be wasted, nor will I let the spiritual power I've regained these days be lost again." 。She let out a breath of relief, “That’s good.” 。"Would you like to go for a walk" 。He invited her, "The fifteenth moon is full on the sixteenth. Why not choose one of these six mountains here, stand on top and watch the moon" 。She thought the plan was excellent, so she happily fetched the deed from her bag and stuffed it into Shi Liyuan's arms. "Take a look, I'm going to change my clothes." 。"Thinking about it, I might as well cast a cleansing spell and freshen up." 。Among the six mountains gifted to her by the Third Prince, there truly was one that spanned the widest area, stood the tallest, and faced directly towards Lin'an City. 。When the two of them stood on the mountaintop, Ye Wen discovered that from here, they could see both the inner and outer cities in their entirety. The entire Lin'an was like a chessboard laid out before them. 。Shi Liyuan extended his hand, pointing directly at the chessboard. A red light emanated from his fingertips, slowly moving as he drew across it. 。The chessboard enlarged with his finger movements. Gradually, she could see every building in the city, and even each person still walking the streets at this hour. 。Shi Liyuan: “Look, the outer city is bustling with activity, while the inner city is eerily quiet.” 。The outer city was brightly lit with candle flames, while the inner city was plunged into darkness. 。"Can you see what people in the outer city are doing"

She looked closely and soon saw clearly, "People in the inner city are sleeping, while those in the outer city are working." 。They have already begun to rebuild their homes, starting by laying bricks and repairing houses. 。The streets outside the city have been cleaned very well, with almost no broken bricks or tiles to be seen, but it's different inside the city. 。Within the inner city, there are many places where bricks and tiles are still piled up, as if officials hadn't slept and were cleaning the streets, and forbidden army guards were also involved. 。But I couldn't see any townsfolk inside the city. They must all be asleep!

It felt like looking at a picture story, but the more I looked, the angrier it made me. 。"People living in the inner city have always considered themselves high and mighty, looking down on doing any physical labor. Just look at their houses; many of them are completely unmaintained." 。"What are we waiting for Waiting for someone to come and fix it" Shi Lifen saw the young woman was a little angry, so he held her and gently explained: "Unless we bring in craftsmen from other provinces, it's basically impossible to start projects in both the inner and outer cities at the same time." 。There were only so many people, and the artisans were mostly from the outer city. But now they are busy repairing their own houses, who has time to go to the inner city for work Of course, not everyone put aside their own affairs and chose to go to the inner city to help first, that is also in order to earn more money to support their families. 。But most people would still prioritize their own families first, finishing up their own tasks and settling their wives and children before going out to work. 。"Ye Wen understood, "With fewer people, we have to work half the time and be idle for the other half. " 。So, the repairs within the Inner City, besides those tasks that could be done by the household staff, required the assistance of artisans from the Outer City. However, these artisans would only come in once they had completed their own projects. 。She made him enlarge the painting a bit, “The city outside is being rebuilt day and night, and it's almost looking decent now.” 。"Shi Li pointed at the points, "I estimate that there are only one or two. The inner city will start to move soon." 。All repair costs were borne by the imperial court, including bricks and tiles which were purchased from other provinces by the court. The people only needed to contribute labor and did not have to pay any money. 。But even the national treasury held little silver. Although the former emperor proclaimed a golden age, it turned out that this prosperity was built on mountains of gold and silver. From the outside, everything appeared prosperous, but when the gold and silver ran out, the so-called golden age collapsed. 。"In the end, all the former emperor left behind was a gilded shell of a prosperous empire. Its exterior shone bright, but its core was rotten." 。Everyone thought that the Northern Qi state was rich and powerful, but in reality, it was all just show. 。"

"En。"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let Qingcheng take the blame. If you had chosen the prince as heir back then, these headaches would be on Quan Qinglu's shoulders now." 。"You still have the audacity to speak Don't you know why the crown prince can't inherit the throne Back then, when you returned from the countryside, you went straight to Duke Su's mansion and sought revenge against the Sixth Prince. You crushed his lifeline with a single spell in front of so many people. How could the throne be passed down after that" "Quan Qingcheng is still mute, isn't he Didn't you also point him out and tell me to treat..." 。Then I can treat Quan Qinglu too!” Someone’s eyes instantly turned unfriendly, “How do you plan to treat him”“Um……” Well, it’s not easy to treat a wound in that location, but... “But they've now created a fake Sixth Prince, and who knows what their intentions are…” 。I suspect that the two people are twins, but nobody knows about it. 。To be able to conceal something this big from the sea, it must have taken a lot of effort back then. 。Of course, there must be some unknown reasons why they went to such lengths. 。“Master Li Yuan lightly hummed, “What other schemes could there be It’s all about the throne or the struggle between legitimate and illegitimate heirs.” 。As for whether or not they are twins, this has never been within my consideration. 。As for the power struggles of mortals, they are of no concern to me. 。So even if they truly wanted to usurp the throne and wage war, it would still be just a natural cycle of rise and fall for an ordinary dynasty. 。We can just watch from the sidelines, there's no need to get involved. 。"Is there really no need" She shook her head helplessly, "Perhaps it wasn't necessary for you before, but I am now the Night Fourth Sister, living in the mortal realm. How can you not participate"ing them back to sell at a high price to people in their own country. 。But they all knew that the Suyuan Kingdom could only offer inferior dyed cloth in exchange. The finest dyed cloth, the Suyuan pe...
