Chapter 209 It’s definitely not a good thing

The goddess and the eldest prince had no idea that while they were discussing, there was a vague black cloud on the roof that flickered on and off at the top of the beams.

It was not until the two of them finished their discussion and separated that the black fog came out of the window and quickly disappeared around them.

Wen Ling and Gu Chenran had just finished lunch when they saw the black fog coming in through the window.

The black mist fell on the table in front of Wen Ling, gradually condensing and turning into a small black ball with thorns, like a bouncy ball.

This is the nightmare that happened when Madam Xing plotted against the wife of Marquis Zhennan.

Now that he has been subdued by Wen Ling, he no longer does bad things. He is raised by Wen Ling with incense and slowly practices, and by the way, he becomes Wen Ling's little brother.

There is no one in the world who is more suitable to be a spy than Nightmare.

Nightmare is working extra hard now, because as long as it helps Wen Ling complete a task, it can get an extra incense stick. These incense sticks are all rubbed by Wen Ling and contain spiritual power.

So now Nightmare is very active in his work and asks Wen Ling almost every day if there is any work to do.

It was of course very excited to be assigned a task this time, and promised to complete it well.

After it came back, it relayed the words of the goddess and the prince in full and vividly, even the voice and tone of voice were exactly the same.

Gu Chenran sneered after hearing this: "I thought they would have bad ideas, but I didn't expect them to have such vicious ideas. Just because you are more powerful than the goddess, he provoked you first but failed to succeed and lost face instead. He wants to bury a bunch of innocent people with you tomorrow."

Wen Ling's expression turned completely cold. "I don't think she will have to do anything tomorrow. I know that the god worshipped by the Moon Nation is not a good person, even if he is not the evil god who rules the world."

How can a person who treats human life as worthless as grass be protected by God and possess divine power beyond that of ordinary people? How can such a god be a good one?

"First, notify the Emperor and ask him to prepare in advance. No matter what, don't let too many people come to watch the palace banquet next to Crescent Lake tomorrow.

Otherwise, if the magic weapon used by the goddess really causes group damage, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of everyone. If someone is injured because of this, they are really innocent. There is no need to have unnecessary casualties. Wen Ling ordered.

Gu Chenran nodded: "Understood, I will send someone to inform the emperor now."

Wen Ling said to the Nightmare Demon again: "Now you continue to keep an eye on the Goddess. If she takes out any magical tools at night, you should inform me immediately. I want to see what other treasures she has."

The nightmare demon blinked its watery eyes and looked at Wen Ling without saying a word.

Wen Ling understood: "If you can complete the task well this time, I will reward you with four incense sticks!"

"No problem, I will complete the task!" The nightmare demon jumped up from the table, turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared out of the window in a short while, full of fighting spirit.

After Gu Chenran finished chatting with Wen Ling, he had to go back to his duty.

Now he is "working" in a government office behind the imperial palace.

The Dayong Kingdom called the places where different officials from different departments were on duty "yamen".

As Gu Chenran took over more and more things, it was obviously inconvenient for him to be on duty at home with so many officials coming and going to report every day, so a yamen was specially cleared out, and Gu Chenran handled government affairs here every day, and all officials could come here to find Gu Chenran directly.

Gu Chenran had been taking care of the comatose Wen Ling for half a month, and he dealt with the affairs at home every day, but there were still a lot of government affairs piled up.

These government affairs sound as if each one is important, but they are all very trivial to handle.

Gu Chenran doesn’t have many trustworthy people under his command now, so he has to do most things by himself.

Not only does he have to do it himself, but he also has to focus on cultivating a group of his own people.

Since he sat down at the yamen to take up his duty at noon, Gu Chenran has not stopped for a moment, handling government affairs and paying attention to training reliable subordinates. He has hardly even had time to drink a cup of tea.

When Gu Chenran efficiently finished all the government affairs that needed to be handled for the day, it was already evening outside and the sun was setting.

It's time for dinner.

Thinking that Wen Ling was waiting for him at home to have dinner together, Gu Chenran's expression, which had been tense all afternoon, relaxed.

He said to the other officials who were still on duty in the yamen: "Well, you've worked hard today, so let's stop here for now and go back to eat."

After he finished speaking, he walked outside first.

A junior official was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "I saw that the prince was very devoted to handling government affairs. He seemed to be the kind of person who would stay on duty all night. How come he got off duty and went home so punctually?"

Another older official laughed and said, "When I heard you say that, I knew you were new here. You haven't worked under the Prince of Chen before, right?

Our Prince Chen is famous for being punctual when he comes off duty, because Princess Chen waits for him to come home for dinner every day. No matter how busy he is, he will rush home for dinner, even if he has to rush back after dinner to handle official business alone.

Well, you are lucky. Our Prince Chen is famous for his high efficiency. When you are on duty under the prince, as long as you handle your own tasks well every day, you don't have to work all night.

Moreover, if you encounter any troubles or misfortunes, as long as you have done a good job, the prince will reward us with a peace amulet drawn by Master Ling himself.

This is a benefit that people outside can’t even ask for! ”

The young official became happier and happier as he listened. He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, no wonder my mother asked for my fortune last year and said that I would have good luck this year. So that's what happened! I'm so lucky to be able to work for the Prince of Chen!"

Gu Chenran was not interested in what the officials below were discussing. The people he could choose and train as his confidants were all those who Wen Ling had checked their faces and thought had no problems.

So they definitely won’t say anything bad and won’t have any bad intentions.

He sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, trying to be in the best condition possible to return home and see Wen Ling.

He couldn't let Wen Ling see him looking tired, otherwise Wen Ling would be worried.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, he suddenly opened his eyes and felt something was wrong.

He asked Green Sword outside the carriage curtain: "What's going on? The carriage turned left and right twice just now. I remember there is no such intersection on the way back. It took too long to get home today. Are you going in circles?"
