Chapter 11 Breaking the Defense
After Jiashan left, Haigong couldn’t wait to ask Fugong.
"Brother, will your method work? It's not like you don't know what kind of person Xu Shanshan is."
The farmer was not confident and said: "Yes, don't say it Ask Jiashan to stay with her for a month, even if it's a year, Jiashan will still despise her."
"You can imagine it, how could I not know it?" Fu Gong waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is it. I have already figured out how to arrange it.”

Cheng Ling Mansion
“Master Jiashan, thank you for giving lectures and comforting me recently, which made my irritable and angry heart feel a little better.”
Cheng Ling and Jiashan were sitting in the flower hall.
“The city magistrate is worried about the people, but he must also take care of himself.”
"Master I don't know..."
Jiashan didn't understand the reason, but the city magistrate obviously heard some rumors. His eyebrows had deep wrinkles and he whispered: "I'm afraid the country will be in chaos and the political power will be fought for. There will be no time. Take care of our place.”
Actually, a few days ago, Jiashan also received a top-secret message from the Tang family’s spies——
A big thing happened in the country, and the great master who lives in the temple. She actually lost her memory, and at the same time she also lost the ability to protect Jingguo.
So the Seven Kings, who had always been ambitious, launched a civil strife.
In order to compete for central power, the royal family engaged in political power.
At this time, Emperor Yue was inexplicably unconscious, so the Empress Dowager could only step in to temporarily stabilize the situation in the court!
But it is obvious that the Empress Dowager is old and mentally weak. If Emperor Yue remains awake and the seven kings sit on one side and forcibly separate the power, it will be a matter of time before the imperial power falls away.
"Then the city magistrate might as well ask for help from the neighboring states and counties to alleviate the disaster?"
The city magistrate sneered: "Oh, in the face of the disaster, how can they wait for me in Jiangling?" There is a 'brotherly' feeling in the city."
Due to the political unrest, local governments have chosen to take sides. Many neighboring states have even strictly banned food from leaving the county and do not allow food to flow out.
The result of fighting each other is that food cannot be circulated, and there is a shortage of food in areas with severe disasters, leading to further increases in food prices.
"Sir, the master of the Liu family, Liu Baicun, wants to see you."
The gatekeeper bowed and went inside to report.
"Liubaicun, what is he doing here?" The city magistrate thought for a moment and said, "Let him go to Jingye Hall to wait for me."
"Yes."
——
Master Liu and Xu Shanshan were standing in the Jingye Hall. He reminded in a low voice: "Master Xu, let's not talk about the city order for a while... It’s a bad thing.”
It’s okay to be called a liar, but the main thing is that he is old and can’t handle the killing.
“Do you think my divination for others is free?”
He was dumbfounded: "Do you want to be paid?"
She smiled politely and restrainedly.
Liu Shiyou paid all the Liu family’s remuneration. The Tang family’s prophecy was not only because the other party was related to her by marriage, but also because Tang Jiashan would pay it back in the future, so it did not break the rules.
Mr. Liu was suspicious. He remembered that she said she didn't charge money, but now she said it was not free.
That is to say, she will ask for something, but not money, but something else... So what does she want?
"Master Liu."
Cheng Ling strode in wearing an emerald green silk official robe. Master Liu quickly recovered his thoughts. When he raised his eyes, he saw a monk following Cheng Ling.
The sun shines on him through the cracks in the leaves. He is dressed in elegant monk robes and pure, and his figure is handsome and unstained by dust, just like the coldness of the moon in the mountains... When he gets closer, Liubo Village Slightly surprised.
Is it him?
The city order also saw a... little Taoist nun following Liu Bo Village? Her hair is all gathered up on her head and tied into a bun. She wears an old and remade wide robe. She stands in a very strange manner. She has her sleeves folded in front of her chest with her hands, her shoulders and neck lines are relaxed smoothly, and her waist is straight. There is a solemn and otherworldly charm.
Coincidentally, the monk and the Taoist nun looked at each other as if they were feeling connected.
His expression was calm and nothing unusual.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled.
Maomao: Shan, why does your fiancé seem like... not familiar with you?
Shan: It doesn’t matter if he wasn’t familiar with me before. He should be deeply impressed in the future.
“I’ve seen the city order.”
Master Liu stepped forward and saluted.
"There is no need to be polite. I wonder why Mr. Liu came to see me?"
Among the merchants in Jiangling City, the Liu family is the only one who has a kind heart, pities the hungry people, and does not make the country rich. , this alone can make the city order treat him differently.
When a group of people entered the Jingye Hall, Mr. Liu said: "This... is not that I am looking for the city magistrate, but that I want to see the city magistrate if I have something to do."
He introduced Xu Shanshan.
"Oh."
Cheng Ling looked at Xu Shanshan suspiciously. His face was weakened, his temperament was elegant, and his clothes were simple and plain. Unlike a woman raised in a small family.
“What does this little Taoist nun have to do with me?”
Xu Shanshan didn't care about his title, he just asked: "The city magistrate doesn't remember me?"
What can't be remembered? Could it be that he knows her?
Cheng Ling had an eye disease, called myopia, and could not tell a girl from a girl five meters away, so he got closer and carefully identified her facial features. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"You...you Xu, Xu Shanshan?!"
As soon as this name came out, another line of scrutiny and discrimination was attracted in an instant.
Jiashan Ben lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows to wait patiently, but now he looked at Xu Shanshan in shock and surprise.
Is she Xu Shanshan?
It’s no wonder that he didn’t recognize her at first sight, it was just because she had changed so much, and also because in the past... he only remembered her strong and gaudy dress, and her whole body was wrapped with twine and made of evil thoughts. Wrapped up, it's hard to tell the appearance.
But now, the breeze is melodious and the thin willows are gently swaying. She is a sleeping valley, giving people a sense of tranquility and mountain scenery.
But this was the first feeling I had just seen. When he learned that she was Xu Shanshan, Jiashan's pupils tightened, and then returned to normal.
He lowered his eyes in silence, turning the rosary beads in his hand with varying degrees of weight.
"It's me."
When the city commander heard her admit it personally, his chest rose rapidly and he pointed at her nose: "Okay, you still dare to go back to Jiangling City? Do you know that I am because of this? What stupid things have you done? Since you are here to be brought to justice, I will bring you to justice today!” It was your original fault. "
"Are you trying to say some nonsense again? I don't believe you at all. No, not only do I not believe you, I will never believe anything that a magician says from now on!" He said fiercely! road.
"Since the city commander does not believe in fortune telling and divination, then I will offer a plan for the city lord to solve the current problem of hungry people inside and outside the city."
"With you?"
The city commander was angry He laughed so hard and stared at her funny.
Now she no longer plays tricks such as divination and prophecy, and has begun to become a far-sighted counselor?
"Instead of being angry with me, the city magistrate might as well try to accept my suggestion. After all, there is not much time left for you and Jiangling City to stabilize."
She slowly raised her eyes, her dark eyes reflecting the black energy that covered the sky.
The anger on Cheng Ling's face froze. He had met many important people, but at this time, he was inexplicably calmed down by her look.
