The autumn day is getting deeper, and the light rain is falling. The raindrops fall on the bluestone board little by little, and the water splash seems to be non-existent.
As the main road from the river to Beiliang, Cao County is not as prosperous as other counties, but it has a unique quietness and atmosphere.
Xu Shi traveled around with soldiers all year round, and the folk customs seemed simple and tough. Even corrupt officials had to tuck their tail between their legs and be forced to gain a reputation as an honest official.
There is no way, the emperor is far away, but the Duke of Zhenguo and the Champion are very close!
Who doesn't know that the Xiao family would rather bend than bend, let alone accept bribes, and even wooing them is a fantasy.
Therefore, they also hate those officials who prey on the people, and once they are targeted by the father and son, it is no different than seeking death.
After all, if the imperial court offends the Xiao family and local officials like them, they will definitely choose someone from the Xiao family without hesitation.
In this way, honest officials in Caozhou are like a fish in water, weak officials work hard to make progress, and corrupt officials tighten their skin for fear of being noticed.
Of course, all these are the memories of the original Xiao Xiruo.
"Yue, come on, the building, um, it's right here."
Xiao Xiruo, who was on the carriage, lifted the curtains and looked up and down at this rather lively inn.
How to say?
Elegant and quiet, but without losing the smoky atmosphere, it is a design that can completely cover the needs of all visitors. Because it is large enough, has enough areas, and the levels seem to be very clearly divided.
For example, the first floor is responsible for receiving guests, the second floor is for public dining, the third floor is lined with private rooms, and there are three elegant or affordable accommodation areas in the back...
If this was not her own property, she, Xiao Xiruo, would not believe that this inn originally existed in the book and was not rebuilt by outsiders.
Yes, this inn belongs to Feng Wuyan. To be more precise, it is one of the important contact points for the Owl Clan near the border. It is also the place where Feng Wuyan once lived for a period of time.
"Dear guests, please come in!"
Before Xiao Xiruo and others could get out of the car, people from the inn came out to greet them. One of them, a thin middle-aged man surrounded in the center, seemed to be the innkeeper.
If Xiao Xiruo remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be named Muke, who was similar to Mrs. Qingling from Zhangtai Liu in the capital, and was the manager of the Owl Clan's intelligence network.
"Stop looking, ma'am, it's time for us to get off the car."
Raising his hand to hold the girl's fair chin, Feng Wuyan couldn't help but smile even more wantonly when he saw her staring at him blankly.
He just liked to see the way their little sick guys just woke up and couldn't think straight.
cute.
"oh……"
Xiao Xiruo had indeed just woken up not long ago, and she seemed obedient. She even uttered the word "oh" very softly.
However, Feng Wuyan heard clearly and knew that she was still a little tired, so he simply picked her up from the soft couch in the car without waiting for the girl to get up.
Xiao Xiruo was a little shocked at first, so much so that her eyes widened, and she immediately thought Feng Wuyan was so cute. But she quickly came to her senses, lazily and skillfully wrapped her arms around the young man's neck, and hugged him.
She leaned her face into his arms.
The moment the slightly cool fragrance entered her nose, her cough seemed to get better.
She hadn't taken any medicine in the past few days, not because she didn't want to, but because Feng Wuyan wouldn't let her.
Because Wen Susu said that although the medicine is strange, it must be relaxed and relaxed, and she should rest when she needs to. After all, once she returns to Beiliang, no one knows whether she will have time to rest.
Although this was just what doctors told most people, Feng Wuyan still listened.
Even the bullying towards her has decreased in the past few days, as if they were afraid of breaking her glass doll.
However, Xiao Xiruo gradually tasted the benefits from it and felt that it was not impossible not to take medicine.
Because on the second day after all five cities were shut down, her system, which had not been in action for a long time, finally responded.
After [Caring for the Common People. Elementary and Intermediate Level] and [Extending Financial Resources. Elementary], she unlocked [Caring for the Common People. Ultimate] and [Extending Financial Resources. Intermediate].
Probably because she saved too many people with the medicine given by the system this time, the reward from [Caring for the Common People] was also particularly generous.
In addition to the necessary life-renewing potions, trauma potions and re-engraving scrolls, there is also a buff called [Spring Breeze and Rain], which probably eliminates most of the extreme conditions in her body.
For example, vomiting blood frequently and being unable to get out of bed...
So although she is still sick, she will not be as unable to walk as before without taking medicine, and it seems that she will die at any time.
This benefit may seem useless, but it saves money and reduces burden for Xiao Xiruo, which makes her happy for several days.
After all, there is really a huge difference between pain and no pain.
The other thing is [Extensive wealth. Intermediate level]. She doesn't know how this achievement is calculated. After all, with the owl clan's industry in her hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is as rich as the country.
So it was difficult for her to discern whether Lin Jiayan and the others were doing too well in the capital, or whether the Owl clan had been working too hard recently...
In short, the system not only expanded her portable space and allowed her to own a small storage house, but also gave her a new prop called [Thousand-faced Demonic Fox].
This prop is just like its name, it is used to change the appearance.
Whether it's her or someone else, as long as you put on this mask, you will become the face of the person you want.
It can be said that this thing is simply a magical weapon for Xiao Xiruo!
Even if your body and height cannot be changed with the 3D printer-like disguise, just changing your face is enough to make people excited!
However, great joy is followed by great sorrow. Do you think this fox demon mask is free for you?
Of course not!
50,000 yuan at a time, non-refundable!
What's the meaning?
This means 50,000 faces, and the validity period is only three days.
If you want to extend the time, you have to pay. If you want to change the face, you have to pay. If you want to change the voice as well, that's another price.
In short, after reading a series of Overlord Regulations, Xiao Xiruo only had one thing to say, that is, why the hell didn’t you just grab it!
For this reason, she rolled around in the car for three days, leaving Feng Wuyan beside him who knew all the truth dumbfounded.
And when Feng Wuyan knew that she had vomited blood several times because she was actually angry with the so-called system, the young man's face became even better.
On the one hand, he felt sorry for his little sick man who was angry, but on the other hand, he was grateful to the system for bringing her here. In short, these emotions were very complicated, so he could only coax the girl to say that he would save money with her in the future.
Xiao Xiruo's mood finally turned from rain to sunshine when she thought that she was not the only one who suffered the anger now.
"My boss is at peace, Madam is at peace, Mr. Yi and Miss Chu have been waiting for you two upstairs for a long time."
As soon as they saw Feng Wuyan getting out of the car with Xiao Xiruo in his arms, Muke and the waiters hurried forward.
However, what they were looking at was not their boss, but the boss's wife who was rumored to be arrogant, sinister, cunning and mean.
