I am a living immortal.

After all, they are all good at catching cats and playing with dogs, have similar interests, are rich and have free time, so these young masters can be more acceptable to him, and he is not a playboy at all. If he only knows these, those rich families will still look down on him. But who is Shenlong? He knows astronomy and geography, and can play poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting with ease.

That's why no one doubted him.

These are not things that ordinary people can understand. They just think that Shenlong is a young man from a noble family who saw the beautiful scenery of Jiading Prefecture and stayed there for a while.

Not buying a house here will not affect the interests of these local big families, so they became familiar with each other after a few visits.

Su Mu didn't know what to say, but he didn't understand what Shenlong was trying to do. Playing with ordinary big shots was not in line with Shenlong's character. In his eyes, they were not even qualified for the Zong Dou, let alone a group of local children from wealthy families.

It's so mysterious, and I don't know what it's doing.

But he didn't care. If Mirage Dragon wanted to say something, he would definitely say it.

He was also happy to be in peace and quiet, and was fully focused on digesting the spring in his body. As Jiading Prefecture completely entered spring, his understanding of spring became clearer and clearer.

Drinking tea and enjoying the spring in the yard every day, the strange scenes in this small yard are constantly piling up, like green mountains and green waters, all things growing, spring is in the air, and flowers are blooming everywhere.

This is all made up of the breath of spring that was inadvertently leaked out. Every time the mirage dragon pushed the door open and walked in, his face would be covered with the spring breath that filled the yard.

I always tease her, "It's not enough for you to capture the spring, you actually want to trap the entire spring in the yard! Then when you are ready to catch the summer, I will have to stay away from you, otherwise you will open the door and be hit by the sun, otherwise you will be instantly roasted into charcoal."

Su Mu smiled but said nothing. He looked around and it seemed that under his influence, the spring atmosphere was stronger. Many strange phenomena were superimposed on the objects, such as the painting brought back by Shenlong. The original painting on it was of pear blossoms, but with a few strokes, it was painted to look like swaying in the wind. However, under the influence of spring, the pear blossoms in the painting had grown outside the painting, just like real pear blossoms.

There are not only pear blossoms, but also peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and other flowers.

Even the branches of an ink-painted tree he couldn't name had sprouted new buds, which was strange.

There is also a jade ornament, green mountains and green water, and a fishing boat in the river. At this moment, the green water above the ornament is like real water, and ripples will appear under the wind, and the trees in the mountains will sway.

There are many more, and with the help of these ornaments, the meaning of spring is constantly explained. Not only spring, but also the influence of "life" brought by spring makes these vivid dead objects come alive in a unique way.

In Su Mu's opinion, it was very interesting, just like the moving murals in Harry Potter.

At least the old goat liked it very much because the yard was full of flowers and plants. He could never finish eating them no matter how much he ate. His face became round from eating so much. I don’t know if it was an illusion.

This is still the case when it is not under complete control. If it is really under complete control, the strange scene in the yard will be even more exaggerated.

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, who doesn't like the warm spring, the season when everything comes to life? Such a season makes people feel the vitality and rhythm of life.

Life in Jiading Prefecture was still very relaxing, but Su Mu did not stay in the yard all the time. Sometimes he would go out to feel the spring world outside.

This was far more vivid than any vision evoked simply by the spirit of spring. He loved overlooking the entire Jiading Prefecture from the mountaintop. He would go to the fields and sit there for entire days, simply looking and listening, observing places ordinary people couldn't see, like the feeling of the vitality flowing through the veins of a rice seedling planted in water, the roots absorbing nutrients and moisture in the water, the veins on the leaves brimming with the energy of life...

Also, listen to the sound of flowing water, listen to the rustling of leaves in the wind, and chat with the old man in the field to feel the hope of life.

If the mirage dragon is in the city, then Su Mu is in the fields and hilltops.

The more he understood, the more he liked Chun.

However, a major event happened during this period, which even people like Su Mu, who either never left the house or stayed in the mountains and fields, heard about it.

An army fully armored appeared in Jiading Prefecture.

This army was said to be the royal guards. They had never seen such an army before. The patterns carved on the standard armor were so intricate and beautiful that this army of only a hundred people was even more shocking than thousands of troops. They carried swords at their waists and even the tall horses they rode were covered in armor. The black flags in the back fluttered in the wind.

The sound of metal horse hooves hitting the bluestone road was so loud that the solemn atmosphere made people hold their breath unconsciously.

They originally thought that the officials in the yamen who rode on horses and held swords in their hands were already impressive enough, but compared with this army of a hundred people, they were nothing.

"Then what are they here for? Jiading Prefecture is not far from the imperial capital." Su Mu pinched a small handful of the tea brought by Shenlong in the field and put it in a ceramic cup, then poured water on it to rinse it. The fragrant aroma immediately rushed out.

Su Mu handed the tea to the old man opposite.

The old man knew it was top-grade tea as soon as he smelled it, but he didn't know what grade it was. No wonder he had the leisure to wander around the fields since he could afford this kind of tea.

"Good tea! You are a very important young man." The old man said and took a sip without hesitation. "Where were we just talking about?"

"Speaking of which, what are they here for!"

"Ah, now I remember. This impressive army wasn't here to eliminate banditry, nor were they here to find the prefect of Jiading Prefecture. According to some courageous people, this army marched straight into the Zheng family without stopping. It's said that this army was holding an imperial edict. I don't know what the Zheng family has done, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that something's not right with the Zheng family these days."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"You can't say this openly." The old man looked left and right and found no one before he whispered, "This is not a good thing. The title of Duke of Zheng has been revoked, and the positions of several adults have also been dismissed. However, it seems that the current emperor has not gone all the way. I heard from the village scholars that those who were dismissed were all important officials, and those who were not dismissed were all idle positions. The Zheng family is no longer as good as before..."

"But this is something that ordinary people like us can't compare to. The Zheng family seems quite happy about this. It's really strange..."
