old grace

at the same time.

You Jing and Fu Chuan are in the military households stationed to appease the people, and the people they visit are all military households who have made great contributions and received awards last year.

An Ying and Shen Yu each accompanied their responsible subordinates, and You Jing was holding the half-grown child of the military household, sitting in the courtyard dam that had just been cleaned of chicken manure, talking to the old father and young son of the military household, asking Is there any difficulty in settling down, how is the weather and farming, and does the general's mansion come to take care of him often?Can I eat and dress warmly...

"Today's initial decision, the war is not peaceful, food and clothing is more difficult. However, no matter how difficult and poor, the soldiers who are fighting on the front line cannot starve to death at home. Population... This is a good thing, a big good thing. The Erlangs have laid down a huge territory, so many cities, such good land, mountains and rivers, we all have to wait for our children to manage and cultivate them. Come and raise them! Write it down, anyone who has three or more children in their family can go to the General’s Mansion..."

Before You Jing could finish her sentence, An Ying's face turned dark.Shouldn't the general's government be in charge of encouraging births?The general's mansion has no food left!

You Jing's eyes lingered on An Ying and Shen Yu for a moment, and then changed her mind: "Let's leave this matter to the Qingzhou government. Yingzi will first collect the details of the Qingzhou military households, and discuss with Cong'er what is missing."

Fu Chuan almost sprayed.Is it okay if I cheat myself?Or is Senior Brother Youjing convinced that Senior Brother Shuangling will be able to handle it?

Chen Qi is a very kind and virtuous image to the outside world and to his subordinates. You Jing plays him even more amiable, more like an approachable patriarch.The military family child in his arms was still sniffling, and You Jing wiped his nose with his fingers without any sign of dislike—the military households watching were a little carried away, really Chatting with my grandpa.

Hearing that the Qingzhou government is going to distribute food to support their children, some military households couldn't help asking: "Long live the lord, are the three children three male babies? Are female babies included?"

"Why is it not counted?" You Jing retorted subconsciously, "How can there be generations of descendants without female dolls? Female dolls are also counted."

Before Shen Yu said anything, An Ying whispered first, "Lord, it will cost a lot to allocate extra food to military households. It's always been said that there are half men and half women. Why don't we allocate half of the food to girls?"

You Jing knew that there was something wrong with An Ying's words, but he doubted his own judgment, pondered for a moment, and did not speak.

Fu Chuan reminded An Ying in a low voice: "General, this is not the time to speak out."

An Ying bowed her head and retreated to the side, while You Jing got a clear instruction from Fu Chuan and said, "What is the difference between a boy and a girl? They also nurse in the mother's arms. Boys eat more, but girls eat less? Is there any difference between men and women in raising children for ten thousand generations?"

At this time, the families of military households may not be able to eat enough. If there are more children in the family, most girls or weak children will be abandoned.The head of the family insisted that boys and girls should be treated equally, and it would be the greatest benefit to live in a house with a female household, and they all kowtowed to say long live and safe.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Yu did not show any objection. He turned his head and ordered the clerks around him to prepare to organize the records and implement the Dingkou.

At this moment, a guard came galloping on horseback from afar, and approached You Jing's ear: "Master, the young master is here!"

You Jing and Fu Chuan were very surprised.Shuang Ling has always been only responsible for the work on the copybooks, and the work of comforting the people and the army to appease the hearts of the people is all done by You Jing and Fu Chuan.Today's matter is not complicated, there is no need to disturb Shuang Ling who is at home, why did he suddenly come here?

The guard's horse was not much faster than Shuang Ling, just after getting the news, the horse presented by Shan Xugang galloped towards him.

The military households who were watching were stunned. They praised the horse's steed, and admired the horseman's superb riding skills. Hearing that this handsome young man is the young master of the Chen family, the future prince, everyone was shocked. muzzle.

Unlike the onlookers, An Ying and Shen Yu who were accompanying them were very surprised.Mr. Xiao Lang suddenly arrived, is this a big deal?

An Ying immediately stepped forward, picked up the child in You Jing's arms, and handed it back to his grandfather.The military households who received the honor to receive Chen Qi were also carefully selected smart people. Originally, the whole family gathered around Chen Qi to make daily routines, but now they retreated quietly after picking up the children.

After Shuang Ling got off his horse, he hurriedly went up to give a salute, and said, "I heard that my father is visiting a military household, and my mother ordered me to come and give you some things."

He smiled at the military households walking around, and said, "My horse, hurry up, the lady's reward is yet to come. General An will arrange for people to share."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Xiao Langjun is whitewashing peace.

If Mrs. Jiang really wanted to reward military households, it should have been arranged a few days earlier, how could it be possible to ask Xiao Langjun to send it off temporarily?

However, the military households didn't understand the truth of it. When they heard that Mr. Xiaolang was rewarded by his mother's order, they were all very happy, and knelt down to praise the mistress for a thousand years and a long life.Waiting eagerly to divide things.

An Ying was called out to entertain this matter, so she had to pretend to take someone to receive the reward.

——Whether this reward will be given or not is not certain.However, Mr. Xiao Lang said yes, An Ying had to pay for the reward out of her own pocket.

Take it out.Remembering that Shen Yu suffered a bigger lump of bloodletting, An Ying's mood cleared up a lot.Wiping Xiao Langjun's butt and offering a reward was just one time, but Shen Yu had to bleed his blood for ten months... Thinking of Shen Yu's misery, An Ying felt very happy.

Shen Yu directly pulled out all the military households surrounding the area: "Go to the front to receive the reward, each household is lined up."

By the way, he hinted to the scribes around him that he would take advantage of today's opportunity to directly confirm the number of Dingkou.

It is of course an eye-opener to watch the Patriarch and the young master, but it has been a long time to watch. I heard that there will be a queue to receive the reward. The military households are thinking about the mysterious gift given by the mistress, and they all happily follow the command and leave immediately. .Furthermore, the owner of the family is not allowed to watch, and no one dares to stay in the inn any longer.The military households kowtowed to pay their respects one after another, and queued up in groups to wait for the reward.

"What's the matter?" You Jing asked Shuang Ling only after she had a moment.

"Qin Ting has witchcraft." Shuang Ling's eyes fell on Fu Chuan, "Take care of Father."

Fu Chuan then became nervous.It is really because of witchcraft and spells that it is impossible to guard against.Many spells in this era have been lost, and Fu Chuanting has never heard of them. If he attacks himself, he will be aware of it immediately, and self-protection is relatively simple.However, if the opponent is attacking Chen Qi, firstly, it is likely to be an unheard of spell, and secondly, he cannot detect it immediately. When Chen Qi reacts, it will most likely be too late!

Shen Yu, as the governor of Qingzhou, is currently the actual governor of Qingzhou. At this juncture, it is impossible for them to shut Shen Yu out of the door and make small talk.

After hearing that Qin Ting's tricks were intended to murder the Patriarch, Shen Yu walked out the door without saying a word.

At this time, the field ridges were covered with frozen soil, and no vegetation survived. After Shen Mata asked the military household, the military household brought a basket of precious rice, which was the seeds for the next year's cultivation, and some stored in the stove to light the fire. of hay.

Shen Mata took out a few stalks of clean dead grass, used his fingers as branches, and quickly tied them together to look like a little person.

The withered grass is occasionally mixed with some rice, which is evenly distributed, like flesh and blood.

After it was done, Shen Yu held the withered grass figurine in his left hand, and pinched the formula with his right hand, chanting words, breathing quickly like the wind.

The moment Shen Mata finished chanting the mantra, Shen Yu's originally rosy and healthy face suddenly turned pale.Holding on to the poor door frame of the military kitchen, he bowed his head and took a breath for a moment before regaining the ability to walk normally.

When entering the main room, Mr. Xiao Lang was still talking to Mr. Jun Jun in a low voice, and Shen Yu handed the little withered grass figure to Chen Qi: "This little man can withstand the spell of witchcraft. The owner keeps it close to him, so it can be protected No worries."

Youjing looks at Shuangling on the left, and Fuchuan on the right, wondering if this thing can be collected, and what it is.

Fu Chuan was also rather confused.He could feel the unusually surging power inside this little thing, but it was not any kind he had seen in later generations.This thing is beyond his cognition.

Shuang Ling looked at it intently, then reached out to support Shen Yu, and let him sit down on the earthen bed: "Father, take it."

Shen Mata looked at Shuang Ling in surprise.

Shuangling explained: "This is the prayer technique of the Li people in ancient times. The Li people are good at farming and can regulate mountains and rivers. According to legend, they have a magic that can make the weather smooth and the grains free from pests. What outsiders don't know is that through the grains growing on the earth , They have mastered a 'five grain technique', using the power of the thick earth to pray for blessings and disasters, and pray for peace."

Shen Yan smiled slightly, and put his hands together in a bow: "Mr. Xiaolang is very knowledgeable."

When Shuang Ling raised his head again, he found that You Jing had already stuffed the withered grass figure into his arms very quickly, and patted it with his hands, asking Fu Fuchuan beside him: "Is this close enough? Put it in the inner layer?" ——A look of complete fear of death.

Fu Chuan comforted: "That's all right, there's no need to go in."

Substitution method is a forbidden law in the practice of later generations. Once sacrifice is involved, there will inevitably be various injustices and coercion.Therefore, even though Xie Qinghe had various substitute spells in his memory, Shuang Ling never thought of letting Fu Chuan use them.He will not "follow the power in a hurry" and let the juniors learn from bad.

However, Shen Yu is an unruly ancient casual cultivator.

At this time, in the period of ignorance when the ancient cultivation sects were lost and fallen, Shen Yu knew some family secrets, but he didn't know how to practice, and he didn't show any stronger physique than ordinary people.

Shuang Ling thought for a moment, and ordered Fu Chuan: "Take out the straw man. Can the floating method do it?"

Only then did Fu Chuan realize that this was a stunt double. If Chen Qi was attacked by a spell, the damage would be entirely borne by Shen Mata.Shen Yu is an ordinary person who knows spells, and he is taking his life to block Chen Qi's knife.

Shuang Ling asked him to use the floating method, in order to draw out the source of life belonging to Shen Yu in the grass figure, and then put the source of life from Fu Chuan into it.

——Even if the opponent's spells are powerful, and Fu Chuan has practiced for many years, he will definitely be able to hold on for a while.As long as there is a little time, with Fu Chuan's cultivation base and Xie Qinghe's insight, this matter can be resolved.

"Yes." Fu Chuan took out the straw man and was about to cast a spell.

Youjing suddenly bleeds from all seven orifices!

At the same time, blood was seeping from both eyes, mouth and nose, Shen Yu said hastily, "Return it to the Patriarch!"

The spell far away in the royal capital of the Qin court was activated.

The straw man was not by You Jing's side, Chen Qi's body was severely injured, and because You Jing had taken the straw man, Shen Yu was also severely injured.The two shared the damage caused by the spell, and Fu Chuan's floating method had not had time to be used.

"It's too late. The stand-in straw man is placed in the middle to support it." Shuang Ling only cared about talking to Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan tossed his hand, and the straw man was suspended in the air, exactly in the same position as You Jing and Shen Mata.Immediately, the left and right hands gathered qi and flicked their fingers, firmly suppressing Youjing and Shen Yu's Zifu between the eyebrows, not allowing the soul to escape and the body to be harmed.

Shuang Ling dipped his hand in the blood dripping from the corner of Shen Mata's eyes, lowered his head and smelled it, and then put it on the tip of his tongue to taste it.

After a while, Shuang Ling gestured to Fu Chuan.

Volts understands in seconds.

Qin Ting's spiritual spells are mainly aimed at ghosts, controlling ghosts and making ghosts.What is a ghost?Ghosts are transformed from souls.

Unlike the spiritual maiden who died in the hands of Fu Chuan, the maiden that Qin Ting invited out of the mountain was obviously more powerful, and she was not so clumsy in controlling ghosts. She could directly target Chen Qi's soul from thousands of miles away—unfortunately, Chen Qi The three souls had already left home.

Now the only thing that the spell can attack is the seven souls left in Chen Qi's skin.If the other party succeeds, Chen Qi's skin will collapse completely, turning into a lingering sick bed with no courage, no courage, no courage and no normal reaction to the outside world.

However, now that he has figured out the opponent's attack method, Fu Chuan knows how to deal with it without Shuang Ling's instructions.

Fu Chuan directly cut off the connection between Cao Ren, Chen Qi and Shen Yu, and Shuang Ling helped Shen Yu, and Shen Yu, who was traumatized, passed out directly.Fu Chuan cast a spell with his left hand to calm down Chen Qi's seven souls, and even took time to draw a talisman with his right hand for Shen Yu, and flew into Shen Yu's purple mansion.

You Jing wiped the blood that got in the way of his eyes with his hand, and asked, "Is it all right?"

Fu Chuan stuck the amulet on his forehead over and over again, saying: "It's all right. When I catch the person who did it—" He looked sideways at Shuang Ling, "Since he's doing it to draw his soul, I can draw him out." Come out?"

Shuang Ling nodded.It is a very simple reciprocal revenge, which is allowed by the rules of the sect.

Fu Chuan released the sword energy between his eyebrows, and the sword formula swept across, and the sword energy flew away like a glow.

Shuang Ling commented: "Do not correct the Tao."

Fu Chuan practiced the spear technique, and he was single-minded. Ever since he obtained Xie Qinghe's sword energy at the Liliang Mountain Ridge, he has been secretly playing with the sword energy.Xie Qinghe also once reminded him that if he can't stand Fu Chuan, he is envious and he likes it very much.

You Jing didn't even wipe off the blood on her face, she first protected her junior brother: "Where the heart goes, is the right way. You know nothing!"

Shuang Lingmu said expressionlessly: "Shu Hanyun's heart is to bully the weak and trample ants. What he is doing is also the right way? You just love and indulge your pets, and the future is irreversible, and you will harm yourself again."

Fu Chuan was stunned.How dare you mention Second Senior Brother? !

You Jing held on for a moment, shed tears, and hugged Fu Chuan: "How dare you compare them."

Shuang Ling stretched out his hand to check Shen Yu's breath, to confirm whether he would wake up in a while, and then said: "If you are not in the mood for love, and earnestly practice and perform your duties, you have already comprehended the creation of the world, to an unspeakable state. Just focus on A little blood on the tip of the heart, two ounces of flesh under the crotch, how much time wasted?"

"Get out!" You Jing said angrily.

Fu Chuan didn't even dare to say a word.However, he still felt deeply disappointed when he heard Shuang Ling's emotionless accusation.

At this moment, the sword energy flew to the capital and locked on the witch who killed Chen Qi.Fu Chuan observed the sword with his heart, and took pictures thousands of miles away with the sword. When he saw the scene over there, he was stunned: "Big... big brother, father, this... this seems... a bit strange."

You Jing was still sad, with tears streaming down her face, she didn't care much about Fu Chuan's words.

Shuang Ling didn't feel that the words just now hurt Fu Chuan and You Jing at all, and he could still get along with Fu Chuan as usual, as if nothing had happened just now: "The maiden who performed the spell is the mother of Zuan."

"It's not that weird...well, it surprised me a little too..."

Fu Chuan controlled the sword energy to hover above Princess Su Dachang's head. Master Su was wearing a cloudy brocade robe, her long hair fell to her ankles, her thin hands were raised to the sky, and she kept chanting mantras.However, on the altar in front of her, two pieces of red paper were placed.

"In addition to my father's name and long-term residence, there is also...she seems to be cursing my envoy."

"The envoy is Qin Ting's new emperor, right?!"

Shuang Ling tilted her head.

Youjing stopped crying, wiped the blood and tears all over her face, and asked, "Didn't you steal my life to renew my envoy's life?"

Fu Chuan turned the sword energy around the altar, and saw the red paper on the table more clearly: "It's not a technique of borrowing life. She is attacking two people at the same time, and the red paper representing the source of my father's life has been floating all the time." The fly is a little dim, and the red paper on the concubine is almost burnt... Shall I wait until she curses the concubine to death?"

Shuang Ling and You Jing met each other and nodded.

"Wait."

"can."
