In Wu Ming's memory, he had been here a few times before. It was quiet and clean.
The moment the carriage stopped, a waiter with a white towel came out to welcome them. "Would you like to stay or have a rest?"
"It's already so late, where else can we go?"
Wu Ming smiled, "Drive the carriage to the backyard. Feed the horses well. Use concentrated fodder! Book another courtyard, I want to stay for a few days! "
"Alright!"
When the waiter heard this, he smiled even more and led Wu Ming to a separate courtyard.
There were a few rooms in the courtyard, which were originally meant for a family to travel. Now that there were only two of them, Wu Ming and his servant, it was more than enough.
"Young Master, wash your feet first!"
In Dazhou, the east was the most important, so the east room was naturally for Wu Ming. The waiter came in with a basin of hot water and smiled.
"Phew..."
After a long and arduous journey, even Wu Ming felt a little uncomfortable.
After soaking his feet, he let out a long breath and felt much more comfortable. While he was feeling lazy, he heard the waiter ask, "Young Master, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"Hmm... do you have beef?"
"Unfortunately, we don't have beef these days, but we do have braised pig's head, pig's ears and pig's tail. Would you like some?"
When Wu Ming heard it, he glanced at Wu Tiehu, who was busy in the yard, and smiled. "Then, give me a pig's ear and ten steamed buns … In addition, tear a chicken, stir-fry two vegetables, and a pot of wine … That's all!"
"Young Master, please wait a moment!"
The waiter retreated. In less than half an hour, he came back with a box of food and placed it on the table. The aroma assailed his nostrils.
He then took out a pot of wine and poured wine for Wu Ming.
"Alright, you don't need to serve me here, you can leave!"
Wu Ming nodded and rewarded the waiter with a silver horn, which immediately made him smile and leave respectfully.
Seeing that Wu Tiehu was still standing at the side, he said, "Come! Sit down and eat too! "
"Thank you, young master!"
Originally, Wu Tiehu wasn't such a restrained person, but for some reason, when he saw this young master, he felt a little fearful and didn't dare to slight him.
When he heard Wu Ming's shout, he hesitantly sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and ate it with the pig's ear.
He was also very hungry. He ate a steamed bun in two or three bites and drank a bowl of wine. Then, he gradually relaxed.
Wu Ming ate the food unhurriedly and found that this restaurant was indeed authentic. Not only did they make air-dried chicken, but they also stir-fried the chicken's organs, claws, and other leftovers with vegetables. The aroma of the chicken filled his nostrils.
However, he only ate two mouthfuls and stopped moving. Wu Tiehu, on the other hand, liked it very much and kept eating.
"Young Master, call me if you need anything!"
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Wu Tiehu took his leave. Wu Ming, on the other hand, had the waiter clean up the mess while he went to a high place and leaned against the railing to gaze at the fortune of the prefecture city.
Night fell, and the whole city was lit up. However, in Wu Ming's eyes, there was a different atmosphere.
He opened his spiritual eye and saw that in the vast land, there was a mysterious black aura floating up and down. Within the prefecture city, there were specks of white aura that gathered, forming a large river. In the middle of the river, there was a red color, and there were also specks of gold mixed within the red.
"As expected of the fortune of the people dao. The fortune of this prefecture city is quite impressive …"
Wu Ming muttered to himself, "Just by looking at the fortune of this city, I can tell that the current prefecture governor has done a good job!"
This was very important.
Although the Wang family had Wang Zhong, who was once the prefecture governor and managed the flood, and was popular with the people, thus establishing a foundation in the prefecture city, the imperial court wasn't a fool. They wouldn't continue to appoint someone from the Wang family as the prefecture governor. If that was the case, after a few terms, they would definitely become feudal lords.
As an official of the imperial court, there was always conflict between them and the local tyrants.
Thus, from Wu Ming's point of view, since the prefecture governor was the Wang family's enemy, the prefecture governor's side might be able to help.
"The prefecture governor of this prefecture is Li Zhen, right? I heard that this person has a clean reputation and has done a lot of practical things. He has a good reputation among the people and has the title of 'Qing Tian' … Hehe … "
A clean reputation and a good reputation among the people meant that he had offended a big family.
Although there were officials who were able to balance the Yin and Yang and not offend each other, how could such a talent be limited to the prefecture?
"Of course … I can't believe all the rumors in the marketplace … However, the relationship between the Prefectural Governor and the Wang Clan might not be as incompatible as fire and water, but it's like the east wind and the west wind. One of them will definitely suppress the other.
Wu Ming retracted his divine power. He had already decided to go and take a look at the City God, the Wang family, and the prefecture governor's mansion.
…
At the same time, in a mansion in the prefecture city.
This house was built in a rather imposing manner. There were two large bluestone lions at the entrance, and they looked extraordinarily powerful. Even the eyes of the stone lions were sparkling. This was the house guarding magical artifact that could ward off evil spirits and spirits after asking a senior monk or Daoist to bestow blessings on it.
Back then, just building these two lions and inviting an expert to bless them cost nearly ten thousand taels of silver!
And in the entire prefecture city, there was only one family that could have such an imposing manner. That was the Wang family, whose ancestor had been the prefecture governor and was now the City God.
Amidst the continuous pavilions and terraces, a study room was still brightly lit.
The head of the Wang family was called Wang Su. At this moment, he was wearing a green robe and a golden crown. Three strands of long beard floated down, making him look very dignified.
"Father, I request to see you!"
A voice came from outside the door.
"Is it Yu 'er? Come in! "
A moment later, a young man in a brocade robe with a jade-like face and bright eyes walked in and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Father!"
This was Wang Su's eldest son, Wang Yu! Rumor had it that when his mother was pregnant, she dreamed of holding the sun with both hands, hence his name.
When he was born, there was a vision accompanying him, and from then on, he displayed abilities that surpassed ordinary people.
At the age of five, he could decipher literature, and at the age of seven, he could compose poems. He was even more courageous in his Dao, suppressing all his brothers and securing his position.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Yu was naturally doted on. He had a strong mother's family and was extremely talented. At the age of 20, he was already valiant and had entered the Daoist realm, with hopes of becoming a Perfected Being in the future.
However, such a person did not even dare to breathe heavily when he saw Wang Su.
"Father, what happened in Yunping County previously was due to the recklessness of the servants. I've already dealt with that person harshly!"
Only Wang Yu knew how terrifying his father, the man who held the fate of the Wang Clan in his hands, the fate of thousands of people, and the man who had stood in the county city for decades without falling, was.
"Who was that person? Did you kill him? "
Wang Su raised his head and asked after he finished writing. His gaze was like a mountain pressing down.
"I've already dealt with that person harshly. Please …"
Wang Yu clenched his teeth and knelt down. His eyes were filled with stubbornness.
The father and son looked at each other for a moment, and Wang Su suddenly smiled. "Well done … Although it was the servants who acted recklessly, it was for you after all. You can deal with it yourself. If you hand it over, who will work for you in the future?"
He was very satisfied with this son of his.
If Wu Ming was here, he would definitely praise his son for making sense.
Just like in the history of his previous life, during the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang was the first to enter the pass. When Xiang Yu led his troops to attack, Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang who instigated him to enter the pass. Liu Bang said, "Shu Sheng said that I said, 'There is no need for the feudal vassals to enter the pass. The land of Qin can be filled with kings.'"
Shu Sheng meant that he was a shallow and vile person. He still did not clearly explain who it was.
However, during the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang said to Xiang Yu, "… Today, I have a vile person's words, General and I have something to say …"
Before he could ask, Xiang Yu blurted out, "This is what Cao Wushang, the Left Sima of Pei, said. Otherwise, why would I be here?"
In the end, when Liu Bang returned, he immediately executed Cao Wushang!
This was the gap between them. Therefore, it was definitely not luck that Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and won the world.
The principles of governing a country and family were the same.
Seeing this, Wang Su was happy. This was the 'magnanimity' of the ruler!
"Thank you, Father!"
Wang Yu bowed again, feeling relieved.
"It's a pity … Wu Qing's talent is extraordinary. She managed to become a Sorcerer straight away and broke out of the deadlock. She's even been appointed as a meritorious person to participate in this event … Hehe … this Yun Ping County's Patriarch is quite something! I have underestimated her … "
Wang Su sighed.
Wang Yu was a little confused. He knew how difficult it was to make a breakthrough to become a Magus, and he was quite impressed by Wu Qing's ability to make a breakthrough without any external help. However, he didn't expect his father to attach so much importance to it, so he immediately asked about it.
"You don't understand …"
Wang Su shook his head. Looking at the stars outside the window, he suddenly asked, "Do you know? Why does our Chu Feng County and the neighboring Nan Feng County have the word 'Feng' in their names? "
"This …"
Wang Yu was a knowledgeable person. After thinking for a while, he had an answer. "This is because our two counties had a supreme empress who was the motherly model of the world. The Phoenix Qi flourished, and there were countless concubines and nobles … At first, it was a lie. Later on, it was renamed as the 'Twin Phoenix County'. It also has a small reputation in the world …"
"You read the history books well!"
Wang Su smiled. "But do you think this is a coincidence?"
Without waiting for Wang Yu to ask, he continued, "My ancestors have studied the geography of these two counties. It is an extremely rare 'Twin Phoenix Qi'! The Kun Gui Qi Layout! It is extremely nourishing for women. Therefore, the beauty of the women in our two counties is famous in the province. That's why … "
"And these women are just the remnants of the Phoenix Qi …" Wang Su's face turned excited with a hint of redness.
Wang Su's expression turned excited, and there was a trace of redness in his cheeks. "My ancestor studied the fate of the world, as well as the Earth Qi and Dragon Veins. He knew that the world was going to change soon … In this chaotic world, the situation in these two counties would give birth to the Phoenix Qi, and there would definitely be two noble ladies descending … In the South Phoenix County, there was already a daughter of the Wu Clan appearing, and with the Phoenix Twins, there would definitely be a woman appearing in our county …"
At this point, no matter how stupid Wang Yu was, he understood. "So it's Wu Qing!"
"This woman is from a small family, but she can soar to the sky. If she isn't a noble by birth, how can it be possible?"
Wang Su smiled. "Such a woman with the Phoenix Qi will be very helpful to the big matters of my family. You must grasp this opportunity!"
Wang Yu's face was filled with excitement. He bowed his head and said, "I understand!"
