Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Does the Emperor and the court know about this?"

"It was their arrangement that stabilized the situation by forming a triangle."

It is easy for one or two parties to overturn alone, but the three forces can maintain stability to the greatest extent because they are wary of each other and afraid that the other two parties will unite. This also takes advantage of the evil in people's hearts and is an open and aboveboard conspiracy.

Hearing this, Shen Yao chuckled and leaned on Lin Xingzhi's shoulder. At this time, they had already left Zhuying Town and were heading to the next new city.

The dense bamboo forest behind them gradually receded into the distance, obscuring their traces.

Qingke City

The mountains here are covered with a green herb called Qingke grass. Its seeds, stems and leaves have strong medicinal properties and are often used to treat injuries. It is a must-have herb in the city's pharmacies.

"Because there are many mountains and forests here and wild animals lingering around, many people love to go up the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and it is often said that there are bumps and bumps." This led to the planting of more and more Qingke grass, and eventually it evolved into the veritable Qingke City.

"No wonder this place is so beautiful, there is such a reason." Unexpectedly, the market determines the direction. Even though these Qingke grasses are still growing in the fields, by the end of the month, they will be turned into medicinal herbs and sent to the medicine shops in the city, and finally used on people.

The carriage moved forward, and the view suddenly became clear. Shen Yao leaned against the window and looked around.

Soon, birds flew over her head, leaving behind a string of pleasant bird calls, accompanied by the panting of mountain streams and the rustling of grass and trees in the forest, playing a series of melodious tunes.

"Your Highness, I, Wei Chenghong, pay my respects to Prince Jing. Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. I wonder if your journey was smooth?"

“Master Wei, please excuse the formalities. This journey has been smooth. Everything I have seen and heard along the way is a sign of abundance.

Liguo is fortunate to have a man of Lord Wei's caliber."

Shen Yao sat upright in the carriage and listened to Lin Xingzhi and the officials here bragging to each other. She felt that this inspection job was really tiring. It was basic operation to say one thing to one person and another thing to another person. No matter how they praised each other in public, they had their own calculations in private, and they wanted to take every aspect into consideration.

"Your Majesty, please stay"

"Master Wei, take care."

Lin Xingzhi watched Wei Chenghong and others leave, then turned around and raised his hand to help Shen Yao get off the carriage. Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue, who were sitting in the carriage behind him, could no longer bear it and ran into the post station. Now, they were the only two adults left outside.

"Husband"

Seeing that Lin Xingzhi's expression was not right, Shen Yao opened her mouth and called out softly.

"nothing"

Lin Xingzhi smiled and shook his head. The two of them entered the room together. When there was no one in the room, he mentioned that Master Yuankong had just transmitted a message to him through the air.

Telepathic communication? Master Yuankong?

Master Yuankong is different from Taoist Changsheng. He is not a nosy person. Back in Zhuying Town, if Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue had not run out to play from time to time, even she would not have seen Master Yuankong.

It seems that this master really positioned himself as the enlightenment master of the two children. Apart from teaching Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue their practice, his presence is zero at other times.

You should know that there are fairies in Zhuying Town, and there are even fairies who take the initiative to seduce Lin Xingzhi. Master Yuankong didn't even try to stop it, which shows how upright this person's principles are and how difficult it is to interfere with them.

But such a person would actually take the initiative to communicate with Lin Xingzhi through the air when they first arrived.

Could it be that Qingke City has serious problems?

"Amitabha, that's not the case. It's just that my heart has felt something, and I have received a hint of enlightenment from the Buddha."

A hint of inspiration?

Lin Xingzhi: ...

Lin Xingzhi looked a little confused, not understanding what this hint of revelation had to do with him. Was it a hint to him?

Master Yuankong just laughed when he heard this and did not waste any more words on it. Instead, he took the opportunity to hand Lin Xingzhi a bracelet made of Bodhi seeds for him to carry with him.

"Everything is fate, there is no escaping or avoiding it. I cannot say too much, so please take care, Your Highness."

Lin Xingzhi said goodbye to Master Yuankong with a strange look on his face. When he turned around and mentioned it to Shen Yao, he couldn't help feeling a little scared. It was as if there was an extremely dangerous trouble waiting for him ahead, but Master Yuankong had noticed it but was so mysterious that he kept silent.

Shen Yao:......

Is it possible with Master Yuankong's current attainments? I really don't know.

What's more, the bracelet given by Master Yuankong is clearly engraved with a protective magic circle, which has the power of protection and is commonly known as a universal protective item.

"System, have you noticed anything?"

"...Host, this is real-time monitoring, not future prediction."

The system said aggrievedly that it did not have that special ability, otherwise it would not have fallen into its current situation, trying hard to travel through so many worlds and relying on itself to accumulate energy.

"Don't be afraid, my husband. If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth." Moreover, since Master Yuankong could provide protection to Lin Xingzhi in advance, then she, as a great demon, would naturally help.

Shen Yao drew several protective runes in the air and patted him on the back, indicating that they had experienced so many dangers and obstacles before, and now no matter what happened in Qingke City, they were able to deal with it.

Lin Xingzhi smiled and let out a sigh when he heard this, saying that he was not really afraid of encountering danger, but it was human instinct to fear the unknown.

Not to mention that he has a wife and two children by his side. If something happens to him, what will happen to Yao Niang and the children?

With Master Yuankong's sudden reminder, not to mention how cautious and careful the person involved, Lin Xingzhi, would be, even Shen Yao would focus most of her attention on Lin Xingzhi, and everything, including the system, was arranged properly.

system:……

The system said that it wanted to take a closer look to see what kind of danger could make them so panicked, especially since Qingke City was clearly calm.

After careful observation for a few days, I found nothing except that Wei Chenghong, the prefect of Qingke City, was too enthusiastic and flattering.

system:……

The system couldn't help but whisper to its host, Master Cricket Yuankong, whether his perception was a little inaccurate. Perhaps, perhaps, the Buddha's intention was not towards Lin Xingzhi.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao was too lazy to pay attention to the system in her mind that would go crazy from time to time. She thought that Master Yuankong's revelation was correct. In fact, the string in her heart was also very tense. She always had a creepy feeling, and she couldn't tell why.

At night, Lin Xingzhi gently held Shen Yao's arm and talked about going to the Qingke City government office tomorrow. This is the most basic and critical step in the inspection, checking the accounts!

Regardless of whether the accounts of each city are good or bad, Lin Xingzhi needs to review them.

Generally speaking, there are no major problems with the government office's account books (because of previous experiences, smart people had already found ways to fill the holes before Lin Xingzhi arrived, and even if there were any shortfalls, they would be cleared in advance).

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yao's originally calm heart suddenly ached.

Ok?

Shen Yao's expression changed slightly. After realizing that something was wrong, she said calmly, "Do all the officials in the government know about this?"

Lin Xingzhi nodded, "It was Lord Wei who took the initiative to invite me."

Originally, there were also wealthy families in the city who needed to have their accounts checked together. After all, Lin Xingzhi was famous for his ability to make money. However, Lin Xingzhi thought that he was not in a hurry, so he asked these wealthy families to send the sorted accounts to the post station for him to check slowly.

Using a soft knife to cut meat is the most effective!

"Husband, can we go together as husband and wife?" Shen Yao held Lin Xingzhi's arm, and before she finished speaking, she aroused Lin Xingzhi's suspicion.

Ok?

Yao Niang had never spoken before, so why was she so special today? Could there be something here that he didn't know about?

After trying to think about it, Lin Xingzhi asked directly. After all, hiding the truth was not a good idea. If they did something bad with good intentions, they would be the ones who would be affected.

Shen Yao informed Lin Xingzhi about the abnormality in her body. She was originally a fairy and did not have any human problems. Any abnormality could be considered a warning. Based on this, she was skeptical about tomorrow's trip.

This Lord Wei seemed nice at first glance, but he was a bit too attentive. It's not like they haven't encountered people like him before, but their styles were different from Wei Chenghong's, so it was hard to tell whether their feelings were genuine or fake.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

"Then let's go together. If anything unexpected happens, Yao Niang must take care of herself." He was able to save his life thanks to Yao Niang, and Lin Xingzhi didn't want Yao Niang to take risks for him.

Shen Yao's face showed no response, and of course she also had other touching words.

Some words were spoken more clearly when Shen Yao opened her mouth to go with Lin Xingzhi.

After a night's rest, get up and wash up.

Lin Xingzhi was wearing casual clothes, holding a folding fan horizontally in his hand, looking handsome, elegant and unrestrained. Shen Yao was still dressed in her previous style, with pearl hairpins on her head and gorgeous clothes on her body.

The two of them took a carriage to the Qingke City government office and saw that many people had gathered at the gate of the government office, including the wealthy people in the city who were rejected by Lin Xingzhi.

It is indeed a scam!

It was clear that no one was allowed to come, but in the end, all of them came.

Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but snort coldly. Before getting off the car, he reminded Shen Yao that everything should be based on self-protection, including Master Yuankong who was lurking and waiting nearby. Since it was dangerous, they should be fully prepared.

The two men got out of the car and walked into the government office gate under the welcome of the crowd, and went to the backyard where the account books were kept.

Wei Chenghong was there too, of course, but he seemed particularly excited today, speaking and acting very urgently, as if something was chasing him.

Seeing this, Shen Yao tapped the fingers on Lin Xingzhi's arm lightly, silently reminding him to be careful of the room where the account books were kept.

really

That's where the problem lies.

And this Lord Wei had been encouraging Lin Xingzhi to go into that room from the beginning to the end.

"No rush, Lord Wei, why not send someone to move some of the accounts out? It's so uncomfortable to stay indoors in this kind of weather," Lin Xingzhi shook the folding fan in his hand. It was just a decorative object, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

Wei Chenghong: ...

How could he move out? His hard work, everything he had was in the house. If Prince Jing didn't come in, how could he replace him and enjoy the glory that belonged to the prince?

Wow, his purpose is so sinister, it turns out he is waiting here!

"How shameless! Old Vegetable Gang is trying to deceive the world and change the day. Bah! Bah! Bah! "

The system stood with its hands on its hips and cursed loudly in the host's mind, wishing to curse Wei Chenghong, who looked like a decent person but was actually weird, into a sieve.

Shen Yao smiled and told the system to calm down. She was very curious about this bold and presumptuous Lord Wei.

curious?

'His skin is neither rotten nor broken. It is not like human skin but more delicate than human skin. It can even age naturally with age.' It is no different from a real person.

If it weren't for the turbid atmosphere in here and the evil and gloomy look of the room where the accounts were stored, it would be difficult to associate this court official with a demon.

Judging from the other party's rather anxious arrangements and his desire for Lin Xingzhi's body, this was not the first time he had done this. Even Wei Chenghong's perfect skin had been occupied by the thing inside for who knows how long.

"It's no wonder Master Yuankong claimed to have received Buddha's revelation. This place might be a den of thieves."

Not only Wei Chenghong, but also others.

Wearing tinted glasses to observe, Shen Yao can easily find all kinds of problems, the emotions in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, the arc of the smile, the tone of speech, the voice of conversation, the pace of walking...

Tut tut

system:……

"Host, isn't this too dangerous? What kind of monster is this?"

But don't bring up the idea of ​​possessing another's body, that's exclusive to the world of cultivation.

"We met in Floating Cloud City before, have you forgotten?" Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, raised her hand to pull Lin Xingzhi behind her, and then slashed out with a palm before anyone could react.

Ah? ? ?

I've seen them in Floating Cloud City. That's not right. Floating Cloud City only has lizard monsters and snake monsters. Where are the other monsters?

The system couldn't remember which demon it was, and finally Shen Yao spoke up, "Painted Skin!"

Painted Skin?!

Wei Chenghong had been brought into the room by Shen Yao. There was a flash of dark light, and the people inside suddenly let out a terrified scream.

The sound was well locked inside the government office, and not a single sound could be heard outside.

"I, I'll go tell Master Yuankong," Lin Xingzhi said as he was about to take off the bracelet on his wrist, but was held down by Shen Yao.

"Master Yuankong must be very busy and may not be able to rescue us in time."

Shen Yao looked at the courtyard where half of the people had disappeared in an instant, and cast a spell again. At the same time, she took Lin Xingzhi with her and flew into the air, dodging the oncoming attack sideways.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

To be honest, he was not the first one to be attacked, but there were not many opportunities like this one where he was carried away by his wife and could watch from the sidelines.

After all, Shen Yao's magic skills are very advanced. The ability of these painted skin monsters is not in fighting, but in the miraculous skills of their painted skins.

Wei Chenghong, who had been pushed into the room by Shen Yao earlier, stumbled out.

"Ah! It's you! It's you! It's all your fault! Humph! I shouldn't have let you leave Floating Cloud City in the first place!"

Everything he had, his prominent status, his beautiful plans, and the hard work he had endured for many years, all turned to nothing!

"Oh? Did you recognize me? It's not easy. Back then in Floating Cloud City, you were still a woman." I didn't expect that in just a few years, even her gender had changed.

system:……?!!!

I remember now! It was the Painted Skin Demon that lived in the Floating Cloud Inn. It had teased them back then, but the other two weren't focused on the Painted Skin Demon, so they didn't pay much attention.

Now that the two sides meet again, they didn't expect that there was such an old connection between them.
