The second day after the banquet, the city lord sent a message to invite Tang Yue to drink tea. She had figured out in the past few days that Zhao Tianming's wife died young and there were several concubines around her. So her acceptance of the city lord's invitation would not be regarded as sabotage.
family, so I left with peace of mind.
Zhao Tianming was very leisurely and relaxed. He chose the invitation location on the artificial lake in the palace. The two of them sat in a boat drinking tea and admiring lotus flowers. Occasionally, a few goldfish had sex with each other.
It was summer in Xuanjian City, and the temperature in the palace was not high. Tang Yue asked curiously, "I wonder if the city lord can answer my questions?"
The city lord smiled slightly and said, "It's my honor. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
"The sun is high in the sky today, there are no clouds in the sky, and it is very hot. Why is it that everything in the palace is cool and comfortable?"
"This is the magic of this palace. It looks like ordinary wood and bricks on the surface. In fact, it contains mysterious ice that will not melt for thousands of years. The surface materials are also used just right. The pores become larger when heated. Put some
When the cool air comes out, the pores are tightly closed when it is cold, and no cool air can be exposed. The bricks and tiles will also release the heat stored in the hot weather, so that the palace always maintains a proper temperature."
Tang Yue asked again, "Xuanbing is so magical, but the coldness in it will gradually decrease. What will we do then?"
Zhao Tianming stroked his beard gently, "Brother Meng asked well, this matter is very critical. The Ji family palace has a history of several thousand years, and even the best Xuanbing cannot sustain it for such a long time. The key is that there is a huge ice under the palace.
The magic circle can continuously produce ice according to the consumption of black ice and maintain the amount of black ice in the house."
Tang Yue was even more surprised, "I heard that the requirements for making black ice formations are very demanding, and require a large amount of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Ordinary spiritual energy is not enough, and the fire array pattern also needs regular maintenance. The city lord's palace is still investing a lot to maintain these two things?
"
After hearing this, the city lord's complexion paled. He was enjoying himself, admiring the beautiful scenery, and was in a happy mood, but this matter was mentioned.
In order to keep the mysterious ice in this palace, he suffered terribly and did all the dirty work, just to save enough money to buy the materials for making the mysterious ice and fire patterns. He also thought about giving up, as a monk
You are not a royal family, you are not afraid of severe cold and heat, and you do not need to enjoy the temperature.
But his father and relatives refused. They always said that the city lord of Xuanjian City had maintained his position for thousands of years and could not lose face by coming to him, otherwise he would appear to be incompetent.
So he worked hard and worked hard for a name, and finally managed to get a date with a beautiful woman, but he still had to be mentioned about this sad incident.
He replied, "These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning. Fellow Taoist Meng can try the new noodles from the City Lord's Mansion. They are not available outside and are made from the finest spiritual wheat."
Seeing his avoidance, Tang Yue knew that the things consumed to maintain the formation must not be cheap, and he was probably struggling to support it.
Following the other party's desire to change the topic, she picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth. It was soft and not greasy, and the aura and aroma filled her mouth. It had a refreshing feeling, which was really good.
"The City Lord's Mansion is indeed an outstanding person. He can actually make such a pastry that combines the properties of ingredients and spiritual energy at the same time. It's so ingenious."
The city lord was secretly proud that the chef in his house specially invited spiritual chefs, which are not available anywhere else. "If you like it, you might as well take some back."
Tang Yue was just about to say yes when suddenly a man rushed out of the water and said, "Suffer death!"
A sword was pointed directly at her neck. Tang Yue remained motionless, waving his sleeves and knocking the person into the lake with his spiritual power.
The voice I heard just now should be that of a woman. Could it be the love debt of the city lord?
The city lord quickly apologized to her, "I'm really sorry for disturbing fellow Taoist Meng. This is my prostitute Aoxue. Thank you for your mercy, fellow Taoist Meng."
His daughter was only a golden elixir cultivator. If Meng Furong had meant it, she would have been killed just now. Fortunately, she just knocked her into the lake.
Tang Yue looked calm, "It is indeed not easy to have children. City Lord, please see how your daughter is doing."
In fact, she felt crazy and proud in her heart. Is this the power of a monk in the integration stage? There is a feeling that the world is in your hands and you can call the wind and rain.
The city lord thought of apologizing, so he flew out of the boat, used a spiritual energy to pull up the woman fluttering in the lake, flew to the shore together, and scolded: "Aoxue, what are you talking about again?"
The young lady from the City Lord's Mansion named Aoxue is also a pretty girl, but her complexion is not good, her clothes are soaked, and she is a little embarrassed.
Aoxue raised her head and looked at her father, "Am I joking? Stop joking. My mother passed away just over twenty years ago, and you brought in several concubines. Now you are having a tryst with this woman. Do you want to marry her?
Wife? Didn’t the eternal vows you made with your mother all come to nothing? "
Tang Yue raised her head, wondering why she turned into a stepmother with evil intentions just after taking two sips of tea.
City Lord Zhao was also very embarrassed. Even if he had this intention, it was only the second day after they met. They had just exchanged a few words. It was too embarrassing to mention this matter. He scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
, I came to Monk Meng today to discuss something, which is not what you said."
"If I have something to discuss, I need to use the cook my mother left for me. Do I need to use the boat on which you fell in love? My mother said that it was on this boat that you confessed your feelings to her, and she made up her mind to marry her.
your."
City Lord Zhao looked at Xiao Zhou. He didn't remember this. Was it really what she used to express her feelings? It can be seen that his love thinking has not changed much in the past few decades. When he meets someone with good intentions, he wants to invite her to join him.
Take this boat.
Tang Yue saw that the city lord would not be able to finish the work for a while, and it was not good to watch others training the girls, so he flew ashore and smiled at the city lord, "It seems that the city lord has something to do, so I won't bother you anymore. I will have orders for you another day."
Please send me a spiritual message."
Aoxue on the ground heard that she wanted the city lord to contact her and shouted: "You are a shameless woman, seducing an old man at a young age."
In order to avoid hearing any more embarrassing words or being unable to resist slapping this woman to death, Tang Yue left quickly. Aoxue was even more powerful than her and directly called her father an old man.
Sure enough, City Lord Zhao shouted from behind, "What did you say?"
After she left, City Lord Zhao continued to lecture his daughter, "Monk Meng is a powerful person in the integration stage. You just rushed out like that. If she hadn't been merciful, you would have been killed."
Only now did Aoxue know that this woman was actually a monk in the integration stage. No one told her. She was frightened for a while, but she still said harshly, "Your cultivation level must be higher than hers. If I died in her hands on the spot, I would definitely be dead."
You dislike me and don't want me to live, so you send me to reunite with my mother."
City Lord Zhao was so angry that his daughter kept saying these things to him all day long to make him angry. "Tell me, why am I sorry for you? You keep saying these things to me all day long."
Aoxue saw that her father was very angry and felt a little weak. "You want to find me a stepmother, aren't you sorry for me? After she gave birth to her son, she inherited Xuanjian City. Do I still have a place here?"
"
"What are you thinking? The lord of Xuanjian City is appointed by Xuanyuan Mountain. I can decide where he is?"
"But the designated city lords for thousands of years have been our Zhao family, and there will be no accidents in the future. You have not denied that you want to marry her because you want to give birth to a boy as your heir."
The city lord laughed angrily, "I still have a nephew. It's okay if I don't give birth to a son and pass it on to him. After all, I got this position from my eldest brother, and now I'll give it to him."
Zhao Aoxue's expression changed, "You can't pass on the position of city lord that you finally won to your cousin. He hates me so much and will definitely take revenge on me in the future."
"Then I can't have a son, and I can't pass on the position of city lord to my eldest brother's son. You are incompetent and can't be expected. What else can I do?"
Zhao Aoxue stood up and seemed to have made up her mind, "You can leave the mother to keep the child, and I will raise the child."
The city lord was speechless. If he asked her to raise him, he would raise another lazy waste. He sighed and said, "You should go back first. I know what I know."
Zhao Aoxue walked to a deserted pavilion and said, "That little bitch dared to harm me."
