Early morning.
Wu Zhi opened his eyes, and his face was still flushed.
At this time, he did not find Wu Ming beside him, and he could not help but be surprised.
"Miss, are you up?"
The two maids next to him immediately came forward and served green salt and fragrant soup. They helped Wu Zhi get up and get dressed, while nagging, "The son-in-law got up a long time ago, but he could not bear to disturb Miss, so he told us to let Miss sleep a little longer …"
"Hmm!"
In fact, Wu Zhi was busy with official business, and he had to get up after the rooster crowed every day. However, he could not be compared with Wu Ming, who was a Half Immortal who almost did not need to sleep.
At this time, after dressing up, he came to the front hall. The maids were serving breakfast. All kinds of pastries and pasta were steamed with the Hundred Flowers Dew, and the fragrance was not much. In the center of the long table, there was a flower arrangement. The plum blossoms on it were full of vitality, especially the spiritual charm and the spirit of integrating the heaven and earth into one, which slightly moved Wu Zhi.
"The son-in-law took a walk in the garden in the morning, and he specially brought it for Miss!"
Several maids flattered, and Wu Zhi's face also had a smile.
Then she asked, "Where is he?"
"I just went to collect the morning glow purple gas, and I was a little late. Does Eqian blame me?"
Just as she was asking, Wu Ming stepped in. He was only wearing a thin robe, and his hair was let loose. His demeanor was leisurely and elegant. He truly looked like an elegant young master, causing the other maidservants' eyes to sparkle like stars.
Even though he was already an Earth Immortal with the support of the blessed land, and the morning glow purple gas was like a drop of water in the sea, Wu Ming still did not forget his daily homework.
Constant dripping could wear through a stone. He still deeply understood the principle of perseverance.
At this time, he relaxed his mind and refined the purple gas every day, but he also realized some of the shortcomings of his previous cultivation, and made up for his own foundation.
"I should be the one apologizing for not being able to help my husband wake up early …"
Wu Zhi got up and sat down with Wu Ming.
She was the daughter of a county governor and was used to a life of luxury from a young age. After she became the provincial governor, she became frugal and reduced the expenses of the residence. Although in Wu Ming's eyes, it was still a little extravagant.
At this moment, the maids and sisters-in-law were serving breakfast: crystal-clear crab roe buns, fragrant pine nuts and lily pastries, jujube cakes, sesame cakes, and spring rolls and shumai that were similar to those in Wu Ming's previous life. Thin porridge was used to accompany the meal, and there was also a sweet and sour juice that was delicious and appetizing.
Although Wu Ming had not yet reached the stage where he could eat the wind and drink the dew, and was above the common people, he knew that he had enough and would not ask for anything from the outside.
After casually tasting a few pieces, she put down her chopsticks and continued to brew tea for herself. She looked at Wu Zhi eating quickly with a cute and naive expression, and she couldn't help but smile.
Speaking of which, this woman had worked so hard to improve the country. How could she waste it on purpose?
However, as a Martial Dao Grand Master, her Qi and blood were intense and consumed a lot, so her appetite was quite large. Although there were a lot of dishes on the table, it was just enough to fill her stomach.
"…"
As if noticing Wu Ming's gaze, Wu Zhi's face turned slightly red, "Husband?"
"Haha …"
Wu Ming teased the beauty, but he was very happy in his heart and couldn't help joking, "I am glad …"
Looking at the confused Wu Zhi, he couldn't help but smile, "I am glad that my family is still rich. Otherwise, if I marry you, I will be worried that even my family business will be ruined by you … Haha …"
Wu Zhi suddenly became angry, but it was not good to lose his temper. He somewhat turned his grief and indignation into appetite and ate the dishes quickly.
The maids cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks, and cups, and served soup to rinse his mouth.
Wu Ming handed a cup of tea. Wu Zhi rolled her eyes at Wu Ming, but she still took a sip and waited for Wu Ming to continue.
"Well … Ehuan, it is very rare for you to be able to cultivate to the Great Guru Realm. However, after reaching the Great Guru Realm, such a meal still seems a little rough … The ancients said that one can never get tired of eating delicacies … I heard that in the Blessed Enclave, the disciples of those big sects must drink fine wine and eat delicacies. I will find a chance to get a batch of seeds for you …"
The Blessed Enclave was rich in spiritual energy, and what was planted there were all fairy seeds. Mortals who ate them could prolong their lives, and it was even more beneficial for practicing martial arts.
"I also want to, but those are all fairy seeds. Even if I get them, I can't plant them …"
Wu Zhi sighed.
Obviously, she thought that Wu Ming was still at the Human Immortal Realm and didn't know about the Blessed Enclave at all.
Wu Ming touched his chin, thinking about whether to tell her this "surprise", but Wu Zhi said first, "Husband, is there any happy event recently?"
"Oh? Why do you say so? "
"I see that although you used to do things in an orderly manner, you always have a sense of eagerness for quick success … Recently, you are taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. You even have the mood to go out for a walk, think about your meals, and make tea in a leisurely residence. You are doing it with ease, giving people a feeling that the general trend has been formed, and you are calm …"
"Haha …"
Wu Ming smiled, "You are worthy of being called Ehuan!"
He did not deliberately hide this kind of thing. The change of mentality affected his attitude, so it was easy for people close to him to see it.
"Speaking of planting … How is the drought in the two counties that you visited this time?"
Wu Zhi rolled his eyes at Wu Ming, seeming to see through his intention to change the topic. But when it came to business, his face still became serious, "It's not good …"
"Although I have issued a military order, ordered the government to provide cattle, seeds, and took the lead in the construction of water conservancy, it is just a drop in the bucket. If the drought continues for a long time, the spring plowing will inevitably be delayed. This year, not to mention sending troops, I am afraid that we may be attacked …"
Speaking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Wu Zhi's face.
No matter what, this was the first year that she, as a woman, was in charge of the two counties. To encounter such a major event was really a heavy blow to her prestige.
"Oh? What about River Earl Nu Long? "
Wu Ming blew the steam on the teacup, "Even though there is a shortage of water in this season, it is still possible to make him be partial, so that the rain and dew are evenly distributed, right?"
"This is also what I am worried about …"
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, "The conditions put forward by this deity are too harsh, and it makes me feel very embarrassed!"
"Didn't the cooperation last time go well? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"
Wu Ming was also a little puzzled.
In the last battle to attack Chu Feng County, the Southern Phoenix Army received great help from River Earl Nu Jiang, and they used water conservancy to transport troops. In an instant, they swept the entire county. After that, in return, they built a temple to worship River Earl Nu Jiang along the river, and the government gave recognition. It could be said to be a win-win situation.
Generally speaking, this should be a good relationship. Moreover, there was also the existence of Wu Ming, who was also a heavy bargaining chip.
The Nu Long River flowed through two counties, both of which happened to be under the jurisdiction of Wu Zhi. Even though the Way of River Earl was not as strong as that of the City God, and did not rely too much on the incense of the people, Ao Nu's actions still surprised Wu Ming.
"What conditions did he give?"
"To appoint the City God!"
Wu Zhi only said these four words, but Wu Ming already understood, "This River Earl actually wants to touch the territory of the City God? Isn't it too daring? "
But in his heart, he was sneering.
Last time, he eliminated Wang Zhong, causing a lack of faith, and this Ao Nu was so eager to pick the peaches. Did he ask him?
"Actually … if this is the only thing, it is not impossible to discuss …"
Wu Zhi said slowly, "But this deity's change of mind is too unpredictable, with a strange smell, and the surging of the outside world. I ordered people to investigate, but there are traces of external forces controlling it …"
"You mean … in the county?"
Wu Ming shook his head, "Is it Prefecture Governor Xu Chun? Provincial Governor Gao Shun? Or is it that Commandant Sili? No! With the gloomy atmosphere in the county, I am afraid it is impossible to do this … "
"Yes! I suspect that it should be directly connected to the sky! "
Wu Zhi pointed in the direction of the capital, "The Dazhou has been famous for three hundred years, and there will always be some people who are foolishly loyal …"
"If that is the case, it can be explained!"
Wu Ming drank the tea, "My beloved wife needs to be more diligent! Your husband will not disturb your routine … "
Such a lazy attitude, however, made Wu Zhi secretly grit his teeth, wishing that he could directly give some title to Wu Ming, and drag him out to work hard.
…
"Other things are fine, but I have been in contact with this Ao Nu. If something happens, I also have some responsibility …"
In the back garden, Wu Ming looked at a peach blossom that had already bloomed, but his face was thoughtful.
He guessed that Wu Zhi told him about this matter because he wanted him to go and check it out.
After all, Wu Zhi only had a few sorcerers under him, and Ao Nu really did not care about them at all. It was possible that he misunderstood the meaning.
However, how could a wife order her husband, so he only mentioned it. The specific details still depended on Wu Ming.
"Forget it … Look at how tired E Xuan is these few days …"
The corner of Wu Ming's mouth slightly curled into a cold smile, "Just … You want me to go see Ao Nu?"
If it was before, it would be fine, but now … Wu Ming did not care about a mere River Earl of Nujiang.
He immediately called a Phoenix Female Guard, took out a jade talisman, and ordered, "Take this, go to the Dragon Gate Gorge, throw it into the water, and summon Ao Nu for me!"
"Yes … Yes!"
The female guard was slightly startled, but long years of training still made her immediately obey the order.
Military orders must be obeyed! In theory, Wu Ming was both her monarch and her master. Even if he asked her to go and die, she had to go! Otherwise, it would be disloyal!
She immediately left the Jiedu Prefecture, called two horses, and galloped to the Dragon Gate Gorge together.
When they came to the river, the female guard hesitated for a while, then immediately threw the jade talisman into the water.
…
Under the Dragon Gate Gorge, a spiritual land flickered, and water vapor surged, turning into the Fury Dragon River.
In the center of the spiritual land, there was a Dragon Palace, with many navy soldiers patrolling, and pearl girls and clam girls wandering around. The palace was continuous, and luminous pearls and colorful coral trees could be seen everywhere.
In the largest pearl hall, the new River Earl of Fury Dragon River, Ao Nu, sat high up in the main seat. He looked high-spirited, and was holding a banquet for the marine clans, "Come! Continue to drink! Today, we won't go back until we are drunk! "
Looking at the hall full of guests and the prosperity outside, Ao Nu's heart was filled with a sense of pride.
Previously, the Dragon Palace was broken, and there were no navy soldiers left. After he became the River Earl, he worked hard to build up a good reputation.
