"You deliberately conflicted with him? You know Sukhbaru's temper very well. You must have a chance to stop his recklessness in advance."

​​

The saint nodded slowly: "I have analyzed that Sun Changming is a fast-rising official of the Great Wu Dynasty, and 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 very smart since you were a child."

​​

The Holy Maiden was indifferent to such compliments, and instead asked, "Did those princes send someone here?"

​​

The old woman smiled, and her smile looked even more sinister: "Of course. People from Da Wu always think they are smart and think they can cheat without being caught, ha ha ha."

​​

"The four princes secretly sent their confidants to come here to express their admiration for the saint, and gave favorable conditions. The old man did not tell the saint one by one, anyway, it is the future queen. "

​​

"The old man told each of them according to the saint's instructions, that the saint is also devoted to their master, hehe, and then leaked to them the content of this time's son-in-law selection assessment."

​​

The Holy Maiden of the Icefield nodded: "You did a good job."

​​

The old woman glanced at her, and suddenly said grimly, "I just hope you don't forget that you are first of all the saintess of the thirty-six divisions of Beiyuan, and then you are the disciple of the national teacher of Kuangdao."

​​

The saint gave her a cold look: "This, you don't need to remind me! This saint is going to start practicing, you should step back."

​​

The old woman bowed and exited the room. The moment she turned around, there was a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth. The Holy Maiden wouldn't be so naive to think that the Great Chief would completely trust her?

​​

The saint has her own ideas, but these days, under the cover of the saint's light, the old woman, one of the six "Wizards" of the thirty-six divisions of the Northern Plains, has also successfully carried out the secret orders of the great chief.

​​

……

​​

When Han Mei returned to her residence, she immediately started to wash the copper spoon carefully. Sun Changming watched from the side, this is a very ordinary spoon, I don't know how many years I have used it, leaving many ancient traces.

​​

But Hanmei used this spoon to cook rice with the big pot that night. After the first pot was cooked, she actually cooked half the pot! The belly of the three of them at dinner was so round that Meng Yaya laid herself flat on the ground and hummed for a long time.

​​

But Hanmei tried her best to pull her up: "Don't lie down, you will gain weight, follow me to the backyard, we still have very important things."

​​

Meng Yaya and Sun Changming looked at Sun Changyan's round figure almost at the same time, and a question mark appeared in their hearts: Gaining weight?

​​

The eldest brother stopped the third sister: "What are you doing in the backyard again?"

​​

The back dean is full of weeds. The last time they came to the capital, they lived in this courtyard. The courtyard is the mansion of a criminal official confiscated by the Chaotian Division, and it has always been neglected. When Mr. Sun came last time, Ruan Sansheng asked someone to clean it temporarily, but the backyard didn't have time to clean up. Hanmei caught a delicious little black snake in the backyard last time, so before she left, Hanmei explained to Uncle Ruan Sansheng seriously: Don't tidy up the backyard and continue to leave it alone.

​​

Ruan Sansheng naturally did not dare not to listen.

​​

When Hanmei came to the capital this time, she was always thinking about going to the backyard to hunt for treasure, maybe she could find a second little black snake. When the eldest brother asked, Hanmei answered seriously: "Look for something delicious."

​​

Meng Yaya immediately understood what she meant, her face turned pale in fright, and she shrank back: "I won't go, I won't go, miss, please forgive me..."

​​

As the elder brother and the head of the family with a very high status, Master Sun of course must uphold justice and stop Hanmei from harming others. But Master Sun thought: "Yaya, Chang Yan, this is also for your own good. You will become a major repairer in the future, and you will always have to face all kinds of monsters and monsters. You are so timid, do you run away when you encounter snake spirits in the future?"

​​

So, as soon as the eldest brother caught it from behind, he pinched Yaya's collar and handed it over to Hanmei. In the pitiful cry of Meng Yaya's pleading, Han Mei dragged her to the barren backyard.

​​

Master Sun smiled and began to handle official business. On the one hand, there are some important decisions made by Mengjiang Dusi and Dongyuzhen Fusi, which need to be finalized by Master Sun; on the other hand, it is the investigation of the Northern Ice Maiden by the Jingshi Chaotian Division.

​​

Ruan Sansheng came in and reported: "The Holy Maiden of Beibing has always been very aloof, but some of the people around her are from different tribes in Beiyuan, and they must have their own selfish interests. These days, they have been in contact with the four princes' subordinates secretly."

​​

The information he submitted recorded these secret contacts in detail, and Chao Tiansi 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 time to go back home and heard some news. The second prince and the Lady of Beibing admire each other, the second prince promises to be the Queen of the North with the Lady of Beibing, and the Lady of Beibing guarantees that the North Plains 30 The Six Divisions fully support the Second Prince's succession to the throne."

​​

The other three looked at Ma Qizhi together. He spread out his hands and said, "Combining with the results of Brother Ruan's surveillance, what is the truth? Isn't it clear at a glance?"

​​

Among all the people, only Meng Hebei was still puzzled: What is clear at a glance? Do I have to show the same sudden realization as they did, or am I looking out of place, or... too stupid?

​​

Sun Changming said: "Among the four princes, the second prince is not the most handsome, the mother family is not the most powerful, and the personal talent is not the highest, why does the Holy Maiden of Beibing fall in love with him? The second prince does not know Beibing. The saintess' subordinates also have contacts with other princes, but from our point of view, it is really clear at a glance: the saintess of Beibing has made the same promise to every prince, maybe every prince will give Beibing The Holy Maiden's promise is the same."

​​

Meng Hebei finally understood, and at the same time he finally had a choice about his future position in his heart: his reasoning and judgment are indeed inferior to Ma Qizhi's faction, so he still has to develop in the direction of "playing generals", as long as When the realm is high, everything will be there.

​​

On the other hand, Lord Sun secretly praised that the Holy Maiden of Arctic Ice is a female sea king. There are only four princes raised in this pond, and maybe there are other fish ponds.

​​

"The Second Prince and the Holy Maiden of Arctic Ice reached an agreement. How did you know such a confidential matter?" Lord Sun asked.

​​

Ma Qizhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "My father handed over the Zhongyu Zhenfu Secretary, but after so many years, in addition to the Zhongyu Zhenfu Secretary, he has another intelligence network in his hands."

​​

Sun Changming nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you?"

​​

Ma Qizhi nodded, but Master Sun did not ask for this intelligence network. It was Song Gongquan's private property, and it was left to Ma Qizhi: "Use it well, don't let Master Song down."

​​

Up to now, the so-called "selection of a son-in-law" has gradually become clear. Master Sun and his sister do not look down on the Holy Maiden of Arctic Ice, and the same Holy Maiden of Arctic Ice will not choose Sun Changming. Her target is a certain prince.

​​

Master Sun looked outside, the night was already dark, and the half-curved moon hung above the northern sky. Master Sun said, "Brother Ruan, come with me."

​​

……

​​

In the capital, next to the west of the imperial city is a large and deep mansion. All the royal family members live here, and they are powerful and powerful royal family members. In history, there have been countless foreign relatives who have been very powerful for a while, and have also moved in. This area, but often only three generations, will leave in despair.

​​

At the core of this area, there is a fortified and lofty mansion with a plaque hanging above the main entrance with the three characters "Yingwang's Mansion" written on it. This is the palace of the royal family, Zheng Zhao Jizong.

​​

Da Zong has a high status in the royal family and is in charge of handling the royal family's clan affairs. He does not need to be responsible for the imperial court. He only needs to satisfy the entire royal family. In many cases, he does not even need the full approval of the emperor.

​​

The important officials of the court all know that there is an ancestor of the seven realms in the palace, but only Master Sun knows that there is another seven realms in the royal family, that is, His Royal Highness Zhao Jizong.

​​

Outsiders always think that Zhao Jizong is only six realms.

​​

But Chaos Mandrill once told the owner that it had cooperated with a seven-level human being, and that person was Zhao Jizong! When it comes to things like realm, Chaos can't be wrong.

​​

It is this Da Zongzheng that Master Sun is going to visit late at night today.

​​

Knocked on the door of King Ying's Mansion—of course, the doorman in the middle of the night would not have a good face, but when he heard that he was from Chaotiansi, the doorman did not dare to neglect and immediately informed him.

​​

Sun Changming and Ruan Sansheng waited in the concierge for half an hour. A man who looked like a housekeeper came out and said, "Sir, please come with me." The housekeeper carried a lantern in front of him and walked for a quarter of an hour. , I saw His Royal Highness Da Zong with white hair and beard.

​​

"I've seen Your Highness, and it's really a last resort to visit late at night. Please forgive me."

​​

Zhao Jizong's attitude was neither cold nor warm, and said, "Sir, just tell me if you have anything to do. The status of this king is not suitable for having many contacts with foreign ministers."

​​

Sun Changming nodded, explained the "deal" between the Saintess of Beibing and the princes, and then said: "This matter involves the royal family, so I disturb the old highness late at night, what should I do? , I'm saying goodbye."

​​

Zhao Jizong also waved his hand slightly: "See off the guest."

​​

Ruan Sansheng followed Master Sun out, looked back at the deep courtyard of the Royal Palace of England, and asked, "Is that so?" Master Sun smiled without saying a word, and patted Ruan Sansheng on the shoulder: "Go back."

​​

Mr. Sun will try his best to muddy the water. The transaction between the Northern Bing Saintess and the princes is absolutely intolerable within the royal family.

​​

……

​​

The next morning, Master Sun was excitedly called by Hanmei: "Brother, there is something delicious today!" Master Sun yawned and asked casually, "What is delicious?"

"I was in the backyard with Meng Yaya yesterday, and dug out a huge ant nest. The eggs in it are the size of fingers, white and tender, and you can tell they are very delicious. I have already cooked them in the morning, just wait. Brother, you wake up."

​​

"Huh?" Sun Changming was really surprised. Did they really find the best ingredients in the backyard again? He got up and washed quickly: "Go, show me."

​​

As soon as Master Sun came out of his yard, he ran into Ruan Sansheng. He looked ashamed and knelt down to apologize: "Master, I..." Sun Changming supported him: "What's wrong?"

​​

Ruan Sansheng said in a low voice, "Miss found a colony of third-order monsters swallowing spirits in the backyard..."

​​

Sun Changming was taken aback: "Tier 3 monsters?"

​​

The capital is the place where the dragon energy of the Great Wu Dynasty gathers. There are layers of guards, and there are monsters inside? But Master Sun recalls, that little black snake... I didn't check it carefully at the time, but now I think it's probably also a monster, it should be the cub of a high-level monster - some powerful monsters are like ordinary monsters when they are young like beasts.

​​

"Go and see..."

​​

But Mr. Sun was held back by Hanmei: "Eat first. The biggest meal in the world is the biggest. Yaya and I have been waiting for you for a long time. You can see that your belly is almost flattened."

​​

Master Sun smiled fondly: "Okay, listen to my sister, eat first."

​​

When we got to the kitchen, Master Sun saw that half of the kitchen was full of finger-sized white ant eggs! Hanmei couldn't help smiling when she saw these delicious ingredients, and she was in a particularly good mood.

​​

"So much?" Master Sun was surprised, and Han Mei said, "Yes, this time, the harvest is really huge, enough for us to eat for a few days." I took a big bowl and gave it to my eldest brother, and then I and Meng Yaya started to eat.

​​

Not to mention, this kind of unique and delicious ingredients tastes really good. Master Sun has a big appetite, and he ate more. Fortunately, Hanmei can cook a pot and a half now, otherwise the three of them are really not enough...

​​

"It's delicious!" The elder brother complimented with a touch of his mouth, making Hanmei even happier.

​​

Meng Yaya felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought about driving away those huge ants yesterday. At that time, I only dared to hide behind the young lady, but the young lady was so brave, waving a big spoon, with the other hand on her hips, and stepping forward with a horse, she really scared all the ants away!

​​

As expected of the eldest sister of my life! Meng Yaya admired and praised in her heart.

​​

Master Sun took Ruan Sansheng to the backyard. The entire backyard and back garden were completely barren, and they had not been there before. They came in and found: "It seems that there is nothing unusual except that the weeds and shrubs are growing extremely densely."

​​

An important factor for the appearance of monsters is "evil energy", which means that it must be born with the extinction of the domain. But the whole backyard was "clean" and could not feel a trace of evil.

​​

"Where is the ant nest?" Master Sun asked, and Ruan Sansheng led the way: "Let's take Master over there."

​​

This house is very large, the backyard and the back garden are connected together, about ten acres. Ruan Sansheng took Master Sun around a tall flower wall, and immediately saw a huge deep pit on the ground.

​​

There were shovels, hoes and the like thrown beside him. It is conceivable that after collecting high-end ingredients such as ant eggs, Hanmei was so excited that she forgot to pack up these tools.

​​

This big pit has a range of three or four zhang, and it goes even deeper, and it is a full ten zhang! Although it has been dug beyond recognition, you can still see the winding "channels" of the ant nest in the soil.

​​

Ruan Sansheng immediately jumped in: "I'll go down and have a look." Sun Changming held him back, there was a better way. Master Sun took out a guqin and gently plucked the strings.

​​

After having his own domain, the usefulness of this treasure to Master Sun is greatly reduced. However, when it comes to exploring the depths of the earth, the guqin is obviously better.

​​

One after another sound wave was sent out, and then quickly fed back, constructing a nearby underground structure in the guqin. Ruan Sansheng watched the adult's face gradually become solemn, and his heart became more and more uneasy: This yard was chosen at random, shouldn't there really be any problem?

​​

After the first round of sound waves were all withdrawn, Master Sun stimulated the spiritual energy again and sent out the second wave with all his strength. This time, the sonic penetration is stronger, 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 the guqin, shook his head lightly and said, "This official... is a little careless." Ruan Sansheng hurriedly wanted to ask the question, but Master Sun waved his hand and said: " Are there places like the black market in the capital, or people who know 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 it, don't blame me for being ruthless!" When he said this, Ruan Sansheng's face had become fierce and vicious. , This is the true face of Chaotian Siqianhu.

​​

Ruan Sansheng went out with Master Sun in casual clothes, walked to the most prosperous and lively place in the capital, and found a "Zhenzhen Building" that sold treasures and antiques. After Ruan Sansheng entered, he helped the store owner to close the door with a wave of his hand, and waved his hand and dragged a cabinet to block it behind the door.

​​

There were a lot of china and jade in the cabinet, and they fell down with a tinkling sound, and the guy behind the counter and the cashier hurriedly grabbed it out: "You bastard, can you afford it if you break it... Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Ruan. "

​​

Ruan Sansheng tapped on the counter unceremoniously: "Shut up for me! These are all slanders outside, think I don't know? If you dare to talk more, I will smash it all for you!"

​​

Although the shopkeeper and the guys were polite, they didn't seem to be very afraid of Ruan Sansheng: "Lord Ruan, look at what you said, you have to spend money to buy these things, right?"

​​

Ruan Sansheng did not bother with them and asked, "Where is Yang Qiyue?"

​​

"The shopkeeper's not here..." Before the accountant could finish speaking, Ruan Sansheng grabbed his throat and lifted it off the ground! Ruan Sansheng said fiercely: "Don't forget the agreement between you Yuzhenlou and Chaotiansi! Do you really think Chaotiansi can't catch you?"

​​

The faces of the guys changed, and they shouted: "Put down sir! We are polite to you because of Chaotiansi's face. Don't think that our Yuzhenlou is afraid of you, you are right. It works for others, not for our Yuzhen Building..."

​​

Before they could finish talking, a stern shout suddenly came from upstairs: "Shut up!"

​​

Ruan Sansheng stared at the entrance of the stairs and shouted, "Yang Qiyue, get off me! Chaotiansi has something important to ask you!"

​​

Ruan Sansheng waited until an old man dressed like a rich man came downstairs, and then Ruan Sansheng threw aside the already suffocated accountant, who had rolled his eyes. Then he kicked the entire counter, pointed at the guys and said, "Everyone, break a leg and drive out of the capital, otherwise I can guarantee that Yuzhenlou will never be able to do business again in the future!"

​​

Sun Changming stood behind with his hands behind his back, his face stern. Before he came, he didn't expect that the "little shopkeeper" who was in charge of all business within a 1,500-mile radius near the capital was hidden in a high-rise building in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.

​​

However, there was an agreement between Chaotiansi and Yuzhenlou, so Master Sun was not surprised. No matter how powerful Yuzhenlou boasted to the outside world, or whether Yuzhenlou was really so powerful, without the tacit approval of Chaotian Division, they could not have developed to today's scale and strength.

​​

Yang Qiyue's expression changed, and she said, "Mr. Ruan, the people below are ignorant. Why do you need to have common knowledge with them for such a big man?"

​​

Ruan Sansheng sneered: "I'm not a big man, and I'm not scolding my servants - I'm saving them and you, Yuzhenlou! Because there are real bigwigs, I see your arrogant and domineering Yuzhenlou!"

​​

Yang Qiyue immediately looked at Sun Changming behind him, recognized his appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Yang Qiyue has no eyes! Lord Sun is here, but you are welcome!"

​​

Sun Changming was also full of anger at this time. He glanced at the cashier and the clerks in disgust, and said, "Remember, we are soldiers, you are bandits! You dare to despise Chaotian Si, how many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

​​

If these people were really just employees of an ordinary treasure shop~lightnovelpub.net~ who spoke rudely to Si Chaotian, Ruan Sansheng might embarrass them, but Master Sun wouldn't say much more.

​​

However, a few scoundrels from Yuzhen Building dared to shout at Chaotian Si, Master Sun would not tolerate it!

​​

"Yes, yes, it's all to blame for Yang's lack of strictness. Our Yuzhenlou has always attached great importance to the agreement with the Chaotian Division, and never dared to violate it." Yang Qiyue nodded again and again, Yuzhenlou boasted a lot. It is indeed extremely powerful, as long as the rich Six Realms Venerable can invite you. They may not be afraid of some important court officials, and even dare to assassinate some high-ranking local officials, but in the face of a "currently managed" yamen like the Chaotian Division, they really have to be honest.

​​

Sun Changming walked upstairs first: "Come up, I have something to ask you."

​​

Yang Qiyue just wanted to remind the adults that there is a forbidden magic circle upstairs, when he saw that the magic circles in the building had spent a lot of money to hire top-level formation masters, and they shattered in front of Lord Sun and disappeared without a trace!

​​

"..." Yang Qiyue swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and could only secretly say in her heart: It's really amazing, no wonder the murderous name is out there.

​​

After going upstairs, Yang Qiyue used a jade pot and a jade cup to pour tea, but Master Sun was not in the mood to drink it: "My master asks you, what kind of infiltration has this great formation in the capital looked like?"

​​

Yang Qiyue was stunned, and as soon as he hesitated, he was sternly interrupted by Master Sun: "If you hide it, you will be guilty of rebellion!"

​​
