"Then I'll wait and see."
Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes, revealing a little girl's smile.
This was the first time Chen Xuan saw her smile like this, and for a moment he felt an inexplicable thrill.
At this moment, in this situation, Chen Xuan suddenly had an urge to hug her in his arms.
"Oh, my dear, my husband, you two are not sleeping at this late hour, secretly flirting here!"
Just then, a very inappropriate voice sounded.
The door of Xu Ruolan's room opened, and she ran over with her skirt lifted up. She stared at the two of them with an expression as if she had caught them having an affair, and said with ill intent,
"If you ask me, you two are really something. In broad daylight, you both pretend that you don't know each other well, but in the middle of the night, you two secretly meet up with each other, keeping us sisters in the dark!"
Li Xiuning's face turned red all of a sudden, not knowing whether it was because of embarrassment or anger, she couldn't help but said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Why are you still shy? Shouldn't I disturb you two at this time?"
As Xu Ruolan was talking, she suddenly realized something and slapped her head with a cry.
"Oh, look at my stupid head. How can I disturb your fun at this time?"
"Big room, husband, you two are just pretending I've never been here. I'm going to go back to sleep now!"
Xu Ruolan quickly ran back to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly thought of something and poked her head out from behind the door, grinning and saying,
"Husband, you accompanied the eldest sister tonight, so you have to accompany me tomorrow. I made a reservation in advance. You must accompany me first tomorrow and not other sisters."
After saying that, she threw a wink and then closed the door.
Li Xiuning was both angry and amused by her, and Chen Xuan was also a little helpless.
He found that Xu Ruolan was really elusive. She would always appear suddenly when you least expected it, and would never stop until she said something shocking.
"Go to bed early."
Suddenly, Li Xiuning's voice came to his ears. When Chen Xuan looked at her again, Li Xiuning had already returned to her room with a lamp and a book.
A slight breeze blew by, ruffling the hair on Chen Xuan's temples. Looking from the front, one could see the speechless expression on his face.
It is not known whether Xu Ruolan really saw it by accident, or whether this woman had been observing secretly. She saw that Chen Xuan had the urge to hug Li Xiuning, and Li Xiuning happened to be in a special state and would not refuse. Then Xu Ruolan saw that something was wrong between the two of them and suddenly rushed out.
If it's the former, it's fine. But if it's the latter...
Chen Xuan suddenly thought of his previous life, when he had watched some palace fighting dramas.
This suddenly made him feel a little overwhelmed. There were three women in one drama, and behind him, there were eight women!
Hopefully these women can get along.
There is no other way. The palms and backs of his hands are all made of flesh, so Chen Xuan can only pray like this.
The next day.
Chen Xuan woke up early in the morning, had breakfast, and as soon as he opened the gate of the courtyard, Liu Jinyu was already waiting at the door.
Today is still the day for military training. Chen Xuan brought along the scientific training methods he learned when he was a soldier in his previous life.
These bandits have changed their name to the Black Iron Army. From now on they are no longer bandits, but soldiers!
Since they are soldiers, they must have the spirit of soldiers. Chen Xuan wants to train them both mentally and physically!
"Liu Jinyu, during this period of time, the training of the troops can be left to Xiao Liuzi. As for you, practice well. Within half a month, I want to see you break through to the martial arts master level!"
Chen Xuan said with a serious expression.
What he needs are strong subordinates. Although Liu Jinyu now possesses the strength of a ninth-level warrior, it is still far from enough.
"Thank you, Master Chen!"
Liu Jinyu was delighted. He was eager to practice in seclusion, but Chen Xuan didn't say anything. He could only be on call 24 hours a day. The Qi Gathering Pill was not useful yet.
And now that Chen Xuan has opened his mouth, he can practice at any time, which is a huge thing for him!
The next few days were calm.
The Chen family, the Qin family, the Liao family, and even the prefectural government's residence were all unusually quiet.
On Chen Xuan's side, he has been selling rice at normal prices and also providing porridge to help the people.
It has gained a good reputation in the barbarian city.
In the hearts of the people, Chen Xuan's prestige gradually increased, and some people even regarded him as a savior Bodhisattva!
Some people even think that Chen Xuan is more suitable to be the prefect.
In short, in just a few days, Chen Xuan gained a lot of support from the people.
"Sir Governor, this Chen Xuan is very ambitious. Many people in the city have benefited from him and call him the Great Lord of Justice. Some people have even started to call him the new governor in private. This shows that they don't take you seriously at all!"
At the prefect's mansion, the chief steward came to report the situation in the city.
Zhang Tao sat at his desk, not paying attention to his work. He clenched his fists and snorted coldly.
"A bunch of unruly people, they deserve to be killed! Want Chen Xuan to replace me? No way!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the butler and spoke in a deep voice, "Go tell Liao Qing that today, the Tianshan Sect will come to Mancheng to select a deacon with spiritual roots. Tell him that the deacon will stay at Zuixian Tower at noon."
"yes!"
The butler quickly retreated.
Zhang Tao was the only one left in the room.
At this moment, Zhang Tao's face showed a sinister look: "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, you want to fight with this governor, you are still too young. This trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone, I wonder what you can use to block it!"
Inside the courtyard.
Chen Xuan waited for several days, but there was no news from Ling Mo.
He knew that Ling Mo was still considering it. After all, this matter would affect Ling Mo's entire life!
Chen Xuan was not in a hurry and would not urge him. After all, he was not ready to take action against Zhang Tao yet.
"Master Chen, there is bad news!"
Xiao Liuzi suddenly came in to report that because Liu Jinyu had been in seclusion for cultivation these days, all the big and small matters under his command were left to Xiao Liuzi to handle during this period.
"What news?"
Chen Xuan asked.
Xiao Liuzi was breathing heavily and looked anxious. It seemed that the matter was not small.
"According to the latest news, the Tianshan Sect has sent a deacon to Man City to select three ordinary people with good spiritual roots to participate in the selection. If they pass the selection, they can become the menial disciples of the Tianshan Sect!"
Xiao Liuzi said seriously.
The so-called menial disciples are those who assist the outer disciples, and the outer disciples, in turn, assist the inner disciples, and the inner disciples, in turn, take orders from the true disciples.
