Yue Feng smiled politely and said, "The master is not in the mountain."
"Not here? Where did he go?" Lu Qingqing asked with disappointment in her eyes.
"This is not something that subordinates can ask."
"Then...where's Miss Ling?"
"My Majesty accompanied the two young masters to the back mountain. Miss Lu wants to see our Madam?"
Empress...
This title made Lu Qingqing's heart suffocate, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
"Do I need to inform the girl?"
"No, no need... I'm leaving first." Lu Qingqing turned around and left in a hurry, her back showing a bit of haste.
Yue Feng's expression was calm, his smile remained unchanged, and his eyes were slightly cold.
Yue Feng has seen too many women like this. When he was in the imperial palace, he didn't know how many of them he dismissed.
If it weren't for the good relationship between her mother, Mrs. Lu, and the empress, he wouldn't be so good-tempered!
The remaining light of the moon breeze swept to one place, quickly retracted it, and left quickly with the group of people.
After the people left, Lu Ting came out of the darkness. He should have been discovered just now. As expected, everyone on Fenglin Mountain is not simple.
This guard was already very considerate to Xiao Shisan. He spoke kind words and at least did not slander her in front of her. They are all smart people, so they naturally noticed this little trick of hers.
"Go back."
Soon they chased after him, and after the wind and snow passed, the footprints on the ground were soon wiped away.
…
After Lu Qingqing returned, she began not to eat or drink, and went on a hunger strike to force her to stay.
This move made Ms. Xin furious and heartbroken at the same time. Lu Ting tried to persuade her, but she seemed determined to do this.
Mrs. Xin felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't want her to go astray, so she directly told her that if she didn't listen to her advice, she would be sent away directly.
The Xin family's natal family is also a wealthy and aristocratic family, but they live in a second-class city thousands of miles away.
In this way, Lu Qingqing temporarily rested her mind.
In order to punish her, Mrs. Xin punished her by not going out for a month and shutting herself up to think about her mistakes. At the same time, she sent guards to guard her. Her boudoir was surrounded like an iron barrel, making it impossible to get out.
Lu Qingqing made fuss and begged, but in the end she didn't let Mrs. Xin let go. In desperation, she could only stay in the room and reflect.
A few days later, a valuable box was delivered to Ling Xuewei, which contained an extremely valuable imperial jade suit, a necklace, two bracelets, and a set of hair and face. It was exquisitely made and priceless.
Such jewelry is rare even among noble families.
After Ling Xuewei saw it, she accepted it directly.
Since it's an apology, if she doesn't accept it, Sister Xin might think too much about it.
When the news came that Ling Xuewei had accepted it, Mrs. Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although in her opinion, Ling Xuewei was not a fussy person and would not implicate the Lu family because of Little Thirteen's recklessness.
It's just that Ling Xuewei doesn't mind, it's because she is generous. Whether to give it away or not is up to the Lu family's upbringing.
Mrs. Xin has been the mistress of the Lu family for so many years, so she naturally has a presence in the city. Although she really likes Ling Xuewei's temperament and is grateful for her life-saving grace, she also hopes that through her, she can connect with Jiuzun.
Now the Lu family has been devastated by the catastrophe and is leaderless. Only their mothers are left. Yi'er is still young and cannot support the overall situation. Therefore, she needs to find someone who can protect them.
Jiuzun is their first choice.
After all, many of the Lu family's side factions are in the east. Furthermore, her husband was very optimistic about Mo Jiusu during his lifetime. In addition, their lives were saved by Ling Xuewei, and the connection between them is even deeper.
Another point is that Yi'er is in Holy Blue Academy, and she has to consider Yi'er's future. At present, the academy is the best place for Yi'er. Those who have hidden agendas, even if they want to do anything to Yi'er, they can't do anything to Yi'er.
I don't dare to break into the academy.
…
It snowed heavily for half a month, and this disaster seemed to have no end.
Almost the entire eastern part was plunged into silvery white.
In addition to snowstorms, tsunamis, earthquakes, and plagues, they can be seen everywhere... Disasters are not limited to the east, but other regions have also appeared one after another. This catastrophe, which seemed to anger the gods, slowly tore apart a corner. It heralded the real era of disaster.
has arrived.
Gradually, a rumor spread, saying that the door of darkness opened and hundreds of ghosts came into the world, causing disasters in the world one after another.
If you want to survive, you must kill all those evil monsters!
Soon, some corpse hunters or corpse hunting teams began to appear on the land. Their goal was to specifically hunt zombies and ghosts. Because in some cities, prizes were set up, and as long as zombies and ghosts were hunted, they could be exchanged for them.
Points or whatever you want.
The so-called points are a currency similar to crystals. In some places, points are even more important than crystals. As long as you cut off the heads of zombies and ghosts and bring them back, you can exchange for points. These points can be exchanged for many items.
, such as food, weapons, houses, clothes, elixirs, herbs, etc.
In this way, more people can be encouraged to go out and kill zombies and monsters.
This regulation was the first to flow out of Hengcheng, and it was Rong Batian who proposed it.
Because Hengcheng is accepting more and more refugees, many of whom are casual cultivators and people with martial arts skills. These people are not so proficient in farming or infrastructure construction. Besides, if they are really allowed to do this, wouldn’t it be
Wasted?
These people are too scattered to be managed centrally. If they stay for a long time, something will happen sooner or later. Because Rong Batian came up with such a method.
After Ling Xuewei learned about it, she perfected some details with Rong Batian, and soon introduced new regulations.
During this period, there were naturally many obstacles. For this reason, Ling Xuewei specially brought Ningyu in and asked him to assist Rong Batian in implementing the new policy.
She had a hunch that maybe this would be their urban layout in the future.
Now, with the advent of the Age of Disaster, there are more and more zombie armies. It is simply impossible to rely on soldiers to defend the city. There are too many refugees, and the entire commerce and circulation of the God Realm has been severely affected.
A new pattern is bound to be formed.
So, they need reform.
Using Hengcheng as the first test point, if it succeeds, that would be great. Even if it fails, at most it will return to the past, and nothing will be lost. At least it will not be worse than the current situation.
In fact, after Rong Batian proposed this regulation, she told Ye Moyan, and the man only said two words: It's feasible.
So, the New Deal was launched.
Sure enough, within a month, the number of zombies near Hengcheng was greatly reduced, and the order in the city was restored to its previous state.
Twenty thousand refugees entered the city and gradually integrated into the city's life. Even if you are living in a foreign country and have lost everything, as long as you have hands, strength, and skills, you can support yourself and even your family.
Because becoming a corpse hunter is more profitable than working in the city. Of course, high returns also come with high risks. If you go out to hunt zombies in the city, there will naturally be casualties.
