Chapter 687: Missing
Three days later, Fuzhou City.
Jiang family.
Li Zhoujun was leisurely basking in the sun in an exquisite courtyard of the Jiang family.
In the Zhang family in Fuzhou City, two middle-aged men were sitting in the main hall of the Zhang family, looking at each other without saying a word.
In addition to the city lord's palace, Fuzhou City is the strongest of the three major families.
These three major families are the Jiang family, the Zhang family, and the Tan family.
Although the three major families did not break up with each other and seemed to be calm on the surface, in fact, they all had some friction with each other secretly.
There were two middle-aged men in the Zhang family at this time, one was Rihai, the leader of the Zhang family, and the other was Tan Huaijun, the head of the Tan family.
"Brother Tan must already know why Zhang asked you to come here, right?" Zhang Rihai felt that it was not a problem for two grown men to look at each other like this, so he took the lead to break the silence.
Tan Huaijun said: "Yes, I guessed it."
"The Qing Emperor came to the Jiang family and wanted to recommend the third young lady of the Jiang family to participate in the Supreme Meeting held by Emperor Nian. As expected, the Jiang family embraced the Qing Emperor's lap." Zhang Rihai said helplessly.
"So, are you going to take the initiative to work with me to release the property that our two families have disputes with the Jiang family to the Jiang family as a gesture?" Tan Huaijun said.
"Yes." Zhang Rihai nodded and said in a helpless tone, "Although this old guy Jiang Wuhui is the same as you and me, both are second-grade Taoist cultivators, but who gave birth to a good daughter?
I'm afraid that if nothing else happens, the city lord will favor the Jiang family in everything in the future because of the relationship between Jiang Yan and Qing Emperor. It's better for you and me to show our goodwill to the Jiang family in advance. "
"That's all we can do..." Tan Huaijun said like a deflated rubber ball, but soon he looked at Zhang Rihai and laughed again, "Fortunately, Brother Zhang is with me."
"Both each other." Zhang Rihai also laughed, "We monks without a backer are walking on thin ice in this world, so we can only stay together to stay warm..."
It would be really uncomfortable if they were the only ones who felt uncomfortable, but seeing that they had a companion, it actually wasn't that uncomfortable when they thought about it.
"Find some time, you and I should pay a visit to the Qing Emperor together, and express our goodwill to the Jiang family by the way." Tan Huaijun said.
Zhang Rihai also nodded in agreement at this time: "When the time comes, let's go and ask the city lord to come with us. Otherwise, if we visit Qingdi before the city lord, we will probably make the city lord unhappy. How can we say that the city lord is also a third-grade Taoist master? , it’s easy to deal with you and me.”
"Brother Zhang is very considerate. You can't ignore this worldly sophistication, otherwise you won't know when someone will take notice of you." Tan Huaijun sighed, "It's really like walking on thin ice!"
the other side.
Jiang family.
"I think our third lady is attracted by Emperor Qing!"
"real or fake?"
"How can this be true? Our third lady is as beautiful as a flower, has an innate spiritual spring body, and is extremely talented. It is not surprising that the Qing Emperor has taken a liking to our third lady. Moreover, the third lady also sends roast chicken to the Qing Emperor every day. I heard that The lady made it herself..."
"Shh, only the two of us know these things. The third lady is not kind to us. We should bless the third lady..."
"Uh-huh……"
In the Jiang family, there were two gossipy maids chatting away and walking further and further away.
However, what the two maids didn't know was that their discussion was overheard by Jiang Yan who was delivering roast chicken to Li Zhoujun at the corner. At this time, Jiang Yan took a deep breath, collected her emotions, and walked into Li Zhoujun's house. courtyard.
"Qing Emperor, I usually treat my servants a little loosely. Later, I will strictly discipline them and explain clearly." Jiang Yan knew that with Qing Emperor's cultivation, he must have heard the discussion between the two maids, so Jiang Yan Yan then took the initiative to say to Li Zhoujun.
Li Zhoujun lay on the rocking chair, looked at Jiang Yan and smiled: "Do you care about this?"
"This junior is afraid that they will insult the Qing Emperor's reputation." Jiang Yan said.
Li Zhoujun waved his hand: "We monks should live for ourselves, why should we care about other people's opinions."
"Junior has learned a lesson." Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said.
"Just put the roasted chicken aside." Li Zhoujun said with a smile, "The craftsmanship is good, but the most important thing for you right now is to improve your strength. After all, the Supreme Council is related to your future. Just bring the ingredients later."
"Junior understands." Jiang Yan was praised by Li Zhoujun for her good craftsmanship. Although she was happy, she felt a little disappointed when she heard Li Zhoujun tell her not to cook the roast chicken.
As Jiang Yan left.
Li Zhoujun also began to enjoy the roast chicken safely.
Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Li Zhoujun was fishing in the small courtyard arranged for him by the Jiang family.
At this time, Jiang Yan came over and said softly: "Qing Emperor, the Master of Fuzhou City, the Master of the Tan Family, and the Master of the Zhang Family want to see you."
"No." Li Zhoujun said simply.
"Junior understands." Jiang Yan said, and then left lightly, all the way to the Jiang family's main hall.
At this time, Jiang Wuhui was chatting happily with Tan Huaijun, Zhang Rihai, and a handsome young man in black robe.
This handsome young man in black is the Lord of Fuzhou City.
But at this moment, Jiang Wuhui's eyebrows were full of joy.
As he expected, after the Qing Emperor settled in the Jiang family, Tan Huaijun and Zhang Rihai, his two usual rivals, and even the Lord of Fuzhou City came to the Jiang family in person to express their friendship.
When the Lord of Fuzhou City saw Jiang Yan coming back, he quickly asked: "Little girl, where is the Qing Emperor?"
"Qing Emperor doesn't want to see you." Jiang Yan said.
When Tan Huaijun and Zhang Rihai heard this, they both looked at Fuzhou City Master.
The Lord of Fuzhou City looked embarrassed. If the person who came to visit him in Fuzhou City did not see him on weekdays, he would have beaten that person up or down.
However, the one facing him was Qingdi, who was a sixth-grade Taoist. In front of others, he, a third-grade Taoist, could not even be considered a clown.
So when Emperor Qing doesn't see him, not only can he not be angry, but he also has to smile.
"It seems that the three of us came in a hurry and disturbed the Qing Emperor. The little girl will have to replace the three of us to apologize to the Qing Emperor." At this time, the Lord of Fuzhou City hurriedly looked at Jiang Yan, revealing something he had never shown before. said with a kind smile.
"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded.
The Lord of Fuzhou City, Tan Huaijun, and Zhang Rihai finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Immediately afterwards, the Lord of Fuzhou City looked at Jiang Wuhui and said with envy: "Brother Jiang has really given birth to a good daughter. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
"Thank you very much, City Lord." Jiang Wuhui said with a smile.
"Yes." The Lord of Fuzhou City nodded, and then said goodbye in a half-joking tone, "Then I won't bother Brother Jiang too much. He has everything to do with his day."
"The city lord's words are serious." Jiang Wuhui also said quickly.
Although the Jiang family relies on the Qing Emperor, the Lord of Fuzhou City fears the Qing Emperor, not the Jiang family. Jiang Wuhui still knows this.
Seeing Jiang Wuhui's attitude, the Lord of Fuzhou City also nodded with satisfaction, then waved his sleeves and strode away from Jiang's house.
Tan Huaijun and Zhang Rihai looked at each other and noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes. On weekdays, they didn't bother to pay attention to the three major families in Fuzhou City. Look at the attitude towards Jiang Wuhui today, how enthusiastic he was. Originally, everyone was the same, but overnight, the Jiang family became the first to embrace the Qing Emperor's lap and became prosperous. This messed up the mentality of the two of them.
After Tan Huaijun and Zhang Rihai sighed in their hearts, they also said goodbye to Jiang Wuhui and hurriedly chased after Fuzhou City Master.
