In fact, according to the secret guard's previous idea, he was to arrange a series of movements for Oliver. He was very professional in calling the wind and rain! But after demonstrating a few moves, he was slapped away by his palace master, so he had to give up crying and felt deeply regretful.
According to Asher's temperament, Oliver would feel unhappy even if he was looked at twice by outsiders, let alone recited any spells. So after deliberation for most of the night, the final result was that Shen Xiaoshou was not allowed to do anything.
"But I still want to act." Oliver protested.
"Does acting have to be pretentious?" Asher pinched his cheek.
"If you don't pretend to be a ghost, what should you do?" Shen Xiaoshou's face was stretched out of shape.
"The method does not necessarily require movements." Asher said, "Tomorrow you just sit down."
Shen Xiaoshou said from the bottom of his heart, "It's a bit fake." He didn't like it at all.
Asher thought for a while and said, "Then I allow you to close your eyes."
Oliver:...
"It's decided." Asher made the decision decisively.
"but---"
"I'll spank you again." Palace Master Qin was as evil and arrogant as ever.
Shen Xiaoshou shut up in grief and anger, his eyes filled with accusations against authoritarianism!
Then he was carried to the bed and his belly was punished mercilessly.
"Sleep well." Asher was very satisfied and tucked the quilt for him.
Oliver raised his little middle finger crazily in his mind, then hummed and turned to face the wall, reaching out to touch the tooth marks on his belly.
You are not allowed to talk or make any movements, and you have to act mysterious and stuff...it really tests your acting skills.
As it turned out, Oliver was worrying too much.
Because the meaning of being a fan is that no matter what unreasonable behavior Shen Xiaoshou does, the people will actively rack their brains and come up with a reasonable excuse to explain it in order to maintain the beautiful image of the cute flower demon. No room for blasphemy.
So even if he just closed his eyes and did not move, no one around questioned the authenticity of what Master Shen was doing, and some even held their breath, fearing that they would be disturbed accidentally. In fact, just taking a few glances like this was already a good deal, after all, in the past, if you wanted to see Master Shen, even a portrait was very expensive - and the unscrupulous vendors were unwilling to hang it up, fearing that others would see it for nothing, which was simply cunning.
Time passed little by little, and Oliver remained motionless. While the secret guard was so cute that his liver and gallbladder burst, he was vaguely worried. Could he be asleep?
You must know that according to the master's usual cold style, it is not impossible for this situation to happen.
It's simply annoying.
"Chirp!" Fortunately, at the critical moment, the little phoenix woke up in the nest, flapped its wings and jumped out, and ran straight to its mother - it wanted to eat lunch after waking up, it was hungry!
The people onlookers gasped when they saw this, because Maoqiu had been sleeping before, and the nest was in the hands of the secret guard, so everyone did not notice it. After seeing it suddenly, I was naturally shocked.
Although it is smaller and seems to be fatter, the colorful tail feathers behind it are extremely dazzling. It is indeed an ancient phoenix that has only been seen in paintings!
"Chirp!" The fur ball jumped hard and jumped straight into its mother's arms. While jumping, it kept a careful eye on its father in the air to prevent it from being thrown out of the window again - it is not easy for a bird to live.
Oliver smiled and stretched out his hand to rub its head, "Are you hungry?"
The fur ball tilts its head back, and its little black eyes are so cute.
Oliver put it on the table, and the secret guard immediately took out a small bowl inlaid with gold and jade from the food box.
Maoqiu was immediately happy, and jumped over to eat. However, when he bent over the bowl and saw that it was empty, he was heartbroken. He felt cheated.
Oliver touched its head and then waved it casually.
A large package of beef jerky suddenly fell from the sky and clattered into the bowl.
The secret guard clicked his tongue in his heart, this scene was so magical.
Such little tricks are naturally not a big deal to martial arts masters, but the problem is that the common people don't know! When Oliver was waving just now, of course everyone was looking at him, so no one noticed Shen Qianfeng's movements at all.
It is indeed a divine bird and cannot eat any worldly food.
That was created by Master Shen himself.
We want to eat too.
The little black ball's eyes were blank for a moment. Although he didn't know why he fell from the sky, the key point was that he finally got beef jerky. So he didn't think about it anymore and happily lowered his head to start eating.
"What's wrong?" Asher asked gently.
"The wind and snow are raging in the north because there are relics from the previous dynasty that caused chaos and suppressed the Chu Emperor's dragon veins." Oliver's voice was very soft, but it was enough for the people around to hear.
"A relic from the previous dynasty?" The people were shocked as expected.
"Yes." Oliver nodded, "With the changing of dynasties, the current Nine Dragon Supreme should have been the King of Chu, but the remnants of the previous dynasty tried to defy the will of heaven and suppress the dragon veins and disrupt the star plate, which brought a once-in-a-century blizzard disaster to Lamei City."
"Then how can it be lifted?" The people asked anxiously - after all, it was a matter of wealth and life, so they had to ask more clearly. Although Lamei City has accumulated countless experiences over the past century, it has already developed a method for dealing with severe weather, but that is only for ordinary wind and snow. If it were to be replaced by a blizzard that is rare in a century, even the house would be crushed.
"It's not difficult." Oliver said, "Where is the Northeast Supervisory Governor now? Ask him to come over."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the secret guards had time to set off, the people ran out, showing that they were really anxious.
Ye Jin glanced at Shen Qianfeng, and they both smiled in their hearts.
At the critical moment, it is indeed most useful to move out the flower demon...
After a cup of tea, Wei Yang came hurriedly in casual clothes, his hair was a little messy, and he was wearing big cotton shoes.
Oliver was surprised, "General Wei is sleeping?" They had clearly agreed to take action today, why did he come here so sloppily, it didn't fit his style!
The secret guard stood proudly on one side with his chest raised --- This was entirely our idea. The purpose was to highlight the sense of realism and show that there was really no premeditation.
He even takes such details into consideration. He deserves to be rewarded by the lady by having her hand touched. Maybe even twice!
I couldn't help crying just thinking about it, and suddenly I felt like I had hope in life.
Wei Yang was also very distressed, but he was in a high position after all, and it was not easy to fight with the secret guard who was rubbing his head, so he had to say seriously, "I don't know why the young master is looking for me?"
"How many people are in the camp now?" Oliver asked.
Wei Yang replied, "There are a total of 2,000 troops stationed in Lamei City."
Oliver nodded and asked the waiter to get paper and pen.
The people were a little confused. Do they need to write an inscription now? We were not discussing business just now.
Oliver took Lang Hao, brushed a few strokes on the paper to draw the map, dried the ink stains and handed it to Wei Yang, "Go to this place and take out the thing that suppresses the dragon veins. The blizzard disaster will naturally be lifted and the weather will recover." It's the same as before. "Actually, this sentence is a bit risky. Although Lian Cheng Gu Yue has been watching the sky for several days and nights, he is sure that the blizzard will soon pass and usher in the next spring. But after all, this kind of thing is uncertain, so we can only take a gamble.
Anyway, if you are wrong, then just put a hat on Zhou Jue, and you can always clear up the relationship.
The villain without the halo of the protagonist has such a tragic ending.
"Yes!" Wei Yang looked at the map and said loudly, "Xiaguan will take people out immediately and will come back as quickly as possible!"
"If we work hard, we can go back and forth in one day." Oliver looked at Shen Qianfeng, "Brother, let's go together too. The more people there are, the more help we can take care of."
"Okay." Shen Qianfeng nodded.
"Then it's settled." Oliver stood up, "I will be waiting for you here tomorrow at this time."
The people immediately cheered and said that Master Shen would come again tomorrow!
We simply couldn't be more advantageous.
Happy.
Although everyone wanted to spend more time with Oliver, they couldn't bear to see him look pale. After all, he had just finished a ritual and should be very tired. He should have a good rest.
So after Shen Qianfeng and Wei Yang left, the people walked together and watched Oliver and his party leave the city. The carriage clattered forward, and Shen Xiaoshou looked at Asher with a smile, "Did I do a good job?"
"Of course." Asher held him on his lap, "But it's also because I taught him well."
"When did you teach me?" Oliver protested.
"Isn't it?" Asher made a surprised expression, "I obviously teach every night."
Oliver:...
Just know that this man is shameless.
"You have to thank me for teaching you so much." Asher leaned his face closer and said, "k!ss me."
"No k!ss." Oliver refused.
Asher looked at him with a half-smile, "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true!" Shen Xiaoshou was very stubborn, "It's useless even if you threaten me, I won't give in!" After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't hit me, domestic violence will turn me into a eunuch!" It was so cruel.
Asher said, "Of course I am reluctant to beat you."
"And then?" Knowing the man's character, Oliver was alert.
Asher picked up the little phoenix and said, "If you don't k!ss me, I will throw my son out!"
"Chiu!" Maoqiu was playing with beads and looked a little dazed after being picked up.
How could he be so despicable! Shen Xiaoshou was speechless, "That's your own child." He just threw it away like that. Is there any fatherly love left?
"No matter what." Asher said, "k!ss or not?"
Furball stretched out his wings towards his mother, wanting a hug.
The other party had a hostage in hand, Oliver took a deep breath, closed his eyes and moved closer.
"We...you..." Ye Jin opened the car curtain with a complicated expression.
He originally wanted to come in and talk about business, but when he saw this scene at a glance, he was shocked as expected.
Oliver quickly sat up straight with a very pure expression.
We really didn't do anything.
You must believe it.
"Is there something wrong?" Asher asked.
Ye Jin said sharply, "You can't restrain yourself a little." They were still on the carriage, and they were still doing business, and they actually started hugging each other and k!ssing.
Oliver's face started to smoke, and his sister-in-law spoke simply.
Asher was very calm. In fact, given his thick skin, it would be hard for him not to be calm.
This is a height that a little bottom can never reach.
Very worthy of admiration.
There are secret guards guarding the city gate, and no one can get out. Naturally, no one will report the news to Zhou Jue - in fact, even if he receives the news, there is probably nothing he can do. After all, the combat effectiveness of Shen Qianfeng and Wei Yang's two thousand northeast garrison should not be underestimated.
Watching Wei Yang lead his army out of the city, the people were all muttering to themselves, wondering what was so powerful that it could suppress the emperor's dragon vein. The incident was so bizarre that they were thinking about it even when they were sleeping. After finally getting through the night, they got up early the next morning and gathered inside and outside the restaurant again, waiting for Oliver and Asher, and also waiting for General Wei to come back.
When you have something on your mind, you naturally feel that time passes particularly slowly. After the snowstorm, a bleak sun hung in the sky, making everyone feel creepy, not knowing what will happen next. At noon, they finally heard news from outside the city that Master Shen had arrived, so they all breathed a sigh of relief - at least they had someone to rely on.
Oliver changed into sky blue clothes today, which looked more like fireworks than yesterday's plain white gauze clothes. He was smiling and holding the little phoenix in his hands, looking like he had just stepped out of a painting.
"Master Shen, when will General Wei and the others come back?" the people gathered around and asked.
Oliver said, "It should be within one or two hours."
The secret guard felt regretful, how could he answer so quickly without the necessary action of "pinch and count".
The people were relieved after hearing this. In Wintersweet City, there were two things that everyone was most afraid of. One was the raging wind and snow, and the other was something happened to Weiyang. After all, in this place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, thanks to the Weiyang defenders here, everyone can still live a stable life despite the extremely bad weather.
Since Oliver said it was fine, naturally no one would doubt it. So the atmosphere became harmonious again, everyone chatted and ate snacks, and the little phoenix ran around in the crowd, just like the New Year. Although the people didn't have jewelry to give it, fortunately the fur ball was not picky and was very happy to be tickled, and the little black bean's eyes were shining.
The secret guards were extremely proud. Our young palace master was simply versatile. No matter who he stood in front of, he would shine. He was very worthy of all the beef jerky in the world.
Amidst the laughter, time passed quickly. There was a sound of gongs and drums at the city gate, and the young man ran on the street and shouted, "General Wei and Young Master Shen are back!"
"Go and take a look." Oliver stood up.
Asher quickly shook out his cloak and wrapped him up gently. The secret guard was very satisfied with this. The palace master's maid's skills had improved by leaps and bounds, which made people very happy.
The city gate was slowly opened, and Wei Yang rode in with high spirits. Two thousand garrison soldiers followed closely behind him, escorting a full ten carriages. Shen Qianfeng rode beside him, with a smile in his eyes.
"Wow!!!" After seeing what was on the carriage clearly, the people opened their mouths wide and felt as if their eyes were going to be blinded.
I have never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry in my life. I am afraid they can buy ten Winter Plum Blossom Cities.
Although each carriage was equipped with three tall horses, it was still full of gold and jewelry, so it was still very difficult, and the entire team moved at an incredibly slow speed.
But there is also an advantage to being slow, that is, you can see clearly. People crowded on both sides of the street, one to watch the excitement, and the other to take advantage of the opportunity - wondering if they could pick up two ingots of gold, rubbing their hands and waiting.
"General, you have worked hard." Oliver was waiting for him in front of the restaurant.
"Chiu!!!" The furry ball's little black eyes shone with light.
Asher pinched it.
The fur ball was very angry and flapped its short wings desperately - let him go quickly, it's so annoying to have a father like this.
Asher looked very calm and still did not let go.
The fur ball chirped desperately, feeling a little sad and angry.
I want to jump onto the golden mountain!
The people around were very puzzled and bravely asked, "What happened to the sacred bird?"
Before Oliver could speak, Asher said calmly, "The old things from the previous dynasty are too dirty and evil, the Phoenix will naturally be enraged by them, and that's why it wants to burn them clean with the Heavenly Fire."
"Chirp!!!" Furball kicked his claws angrily.
My God...the people hurriedly moved away to avoid being burned by the flames spewed out by the divine bird, which would not be worth it.
Shen Xiaoshou looked at his man with admiring eyes. In his original world, he would probably be not only the actor, but also the screenwriter, and maybe even the director.
Just cool.
Ye Jin took the little phoenix, stroked its head gently, and carried it back to the restaurant.
"Chirp." The fur ball was unhappy and lowered its head and stepped on its paws.
Ye Jin took out a handful of colorful candy beans and placed them on the small plate in front of it.
Maoqiu opened his eyes instantly and moved closer to take a closer look.
Ye Jin laughed and poked it with his finger.
So coaxing.
Outside the restaurant, Asher picked up a piece of gold, looked at it and said, "It's from the previous dynasty."
"Indeed." Wei Yang also nodded, "I discovered it during the purge. They are all marked by the Zhou Dynasty."
"It's better now." Oliver said, "If you take out these things, the dragon's veins will no longer be affected by them. The winter snow disaster in Wintersweet City will be passed safely, and everyone can live a peaceful life again."
"Thank you very much, sir." Wei Yang said respectfully.
The people also agreed. Fortunately, Master Shen was there, otherwise who knows what would happen.
"Deploy the army here as quickly as possible." Shen Qianfeng said, "Then we will escort these jewels back to the royal city and hand them over to the emperor for disposal."
"Yes." Wei Yang nodded.
Ye Jin went out with little Phoenix in her arms and said, "Keep some of it."
"Why?" Shen Qianfeng was puzzled.
Wei Yang also had some doubts.
"General Wei is the governor of the Northeast, so he naturally knows how many villages and towns there are in this snowy land." Ye Jin said, "These jewels pressed down the dragon veins, causing the people to suffer a lot of disasters. Now that they have been found, it is natural to make up for it."
The people suddenly became agitated - after all, even if they were satisfied with seeing Master Shen, they still had to live their lives in the future, and receiving silver was always a practical thing worth being excited about.
"Yes." Ye Jin was the prince of Chu State, and Chu Yuan did say in the letter that he would have full authority to handle the wealth, so Wei Yang had no objection.
"Then I'd like to thank the Governor for his hard work. Let the relevant county and government offices send masters to come over and calculate the accounts clearly." Ye Jin said, "This wealth belongs to the people. If anyone in the local government dares to embezzle even a cent, he will be killed." No mercy!"
Wei Yang accepted the order loudly, and the people cheered, some even shed tears!
It is a blessing to meet Mr. Shen and his group...
Ye Jin naturally had his own considerations in making this decision - although everyone originally wanted to escort the treasure to the royal city, first Chu Yuan was not short of money, so the money was put into the national treasury; secondly, If Zhou Jue is forced to a dead end in the future, there will probably be unrest in the Northeast. Giving some comfort to the people now will be of great benefit to the future war situation. The third and most important point is that the road from Lamei City to the Royal City is not too short. , Escorting so many jewels is really laborious, and you may encounter gangs of bandits and robbers, or even people with ulterior motives. It would be better to disperse if it is too late and messy.
Besides, the people are the foundation of the country. If the money is not given to them, who else should it be given to?
Oliver also looked at his sister-in-law with approval. As a doctor, she was truly kind-hearted and compassionate in a way that no one else could compare to.
His brother is so lucky.
Although the court has always supported them, the northeast has been hit by raging snow and wind in recent years. Except for a few important towns, the rest of the places have been living in a tight situation. When they heard that there was silver to be collected, they were more enthusiastic than each other and rushed to Lamei City almost day and night. Tents were set up outside the military camp, and dozens of accountants took turns to divide the silver properly and made a list for Ye Jin to review.
Ye Jin handed it to Oliver as a matter of course - as a miracle doctor, he never bothered to look at it, and he couldn't understand these things at all.
"Why so many?" Asher frowned.
"The territory of the Northeast is so vast. The prefectures, prefectures and counties add up to a small amount, but it's nothing." Ye Jin said, "It's a matter of great importance. You have to find someone to look at it. Ling'er didn't say anything. Why are you arguing? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law."
Asher frowned, obviously wanting to fight.
Ye Jin turned around and Shi Shiran walked out of the door proudly.
"It's okay." Oliver laughed and patted his man, "I can finish it in three days."
Asher sighed and had no choice but to compromise.
Thanks to his previous experience in Zhuiying Palace, Oliver checked all the accounts in almost only two days, circled a few minor mistakes and asked the secret guard to hand them over to Wei Yang, and raised his head to let Asher rub his eyes.
"Don't you know how to take a break?" Asher helped him apply hot compress.
"The people are all waiting, so naturally the sooner the better." Oliver blinked, "Okay."
"Okay, don't look at the accounts again." Asher pulled him into his arms, "Have a good rest for two days before we talk."
Oliver leaned against his chest, smiled and closed his eyes.
It seems that everything is going in the best direction.
very nice.
A few days later, many government offices came with a large procession of carriages and horses, escorted by troops stationed in the northeast, to take back the silver that had been allocated to them and distribute it all to the people.
For a while, all parts of Northeast China were filled with joy, even happier than during the Chinese New Year. Wei Yang also received various dried goods, bacon, and mountain mushrooms, all of which were specifically sent to Oliver.
"Zhou Jue must have known the news now." Oliver said with a smile, "I'll probably be mad to death."
"Then let's add fuel to the fire." Shen Qianfeng came in from outside.
"What do you mean?" Oliver was confused.
Shen Qianfeng held up the letter in his hand and said, "I just got it. Mu Hanye replied."
