As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 689 Return to the city
"There is such a thing?" Jiang Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect that the garage prepared for livestock carriages would become an "inn" that wandering monks rushed to.

"Maybe we cleaned the stable too cleanly." Liu Wenyan said.

Qushui Tower claims to be a high-end commercial building, and it also runs a catering business. Even the stables where livestock often stay have among the best hygiene standards among the merchants in Mingxiao City.

In fact, there are also relatively cheap inns in Mingxiao City, such as in the lower city area.

Although they both belong to Mingxiao, the central city of Mingxiao is completely different from the ones below.

The former is one of the most prosperous areas on the mainland, where every inch of land is valuable and prices are high, but there are also many opportunities, so many people flock to the central city.

Liu Wenyan said, "My Lord, should we take measures to prohibit those people from entering the stables and occupying seats?"

Jiang Ran shook her head. "Since they've paid, it wouldn't be appropriate to kick them out."

Moreover, if it weren't for the real difficulties, who would be willing to live together with livestock? Things change over time, and everyone has downtime. Maybe after getting through this difficult time, a few of these people will become great people, and that would be a good relationship for Qushui Tower.

Jiang Ran said, "But it is indeed a problem that the guests' carriages have nowhere to stay. You should come up with a plan yourself."

This is not a difficult task. The wanderers mainly look for a place to rest at night, and all the shops in Qushui Tower except Nanke Tavern are closed late at night.

Most of the problems can be solved by setting up a time-based pricing system during the day and a one-time private room at night.

Liu Wenyan bowed to Jiang Ran and said, "As you wish."

……

The sun rises as if driven by a burning fire, hanging in the sky forever.

This is the day for the great competition of forces and the return to Suling.

When Jiang Ran led the students from Suling, there were only a dozen of them, and no one paid attention to them. But when he returned, he brought a group of geniuses and their families with him. Although he did not make it public, many eyes were watching him secretly.

At the other end of the courtyard, there is a Moon-Exploring Pavilion that connects the Mingxiao-Suling teleportation array.

There were quite a few people standing in this small space.

The capacity of this small teleportation array is limited and can only allow a few people to pass through at a time. Zhou Bao organized the guards to arrange for the people who surrendered to Suling County to enter the teleportation array one by one.

"The territory of the county must be small and poor..." Looking at this scene, Pang Zhou, a cultivator of the fifth level of Xuan Bone, couldn't help but reveal his thoughts.

Just two strokes difference in the word "greed" turned into "poverty".

He entered the Xuan Gu realm at the age of nineteen. He was a talented cultivator with a promising future. Ten years later, he was expected to hold an important position in the Budong Palace, such as a hall master or elder. However, he did not expect that he would ruin his bright future because of his greed for the branch of the sacred tree, and become Jiang Bole's "slave"!
He is not a slave, Pang Zhou glanced at Fang Qiaosheng, who had bags under his eyes drooping to his mouth and looked dazed.

This talisman master who originally came from Gongqing College has been exploited to the point where he is neither human nor ghost.

Fang Qiaosheng yawned, his mind still recalling the masterpiece he had made with blood leather paper, thinking about where he could make improvements and how he could trick Princess Jiang into letting her slip more talisman-making materials. Then he noticed Pang Zhou's sympathetic glance at him.

Fang Qiaosheng:?

"Master, are we really going to that small county-level territory?" The old lady looked worried and said while holding Zhang Wenfeng's hand.

Zhang Wenfeng used to be a tutor in Mingxiao and had real estate in Mingxiao City. However, after losing to Jiang Ran in the archery competition, she sat in the mansion for a night and finally figured it out. The real estate in Mingxiao City was not sold, but she was determined to settle in Suling with her son Weng Qing and several close housekeepers and servants.

On the night Zhang Wenfeng lost the game, Jiang Ran did not send anyone to follow her, and the two of them only had a verbal agreement and did not sign a soul contract. If the former did not want to, she could sneak away and not keep her promise.

But Zhang Wenfeng's pride would not allow it, and Jiang Ran was also certain that she would not break her promise.

Zhang Wenfeng was not stupid either, so she naturally noticed Jiang Ran's indulgent behavior.

"Go, and accept the loss." Zhang Wenfeng's eagle eyes flashed, and he said, "Although it is only at the county level, Suling County can produce people like Jiang Bo... Jiang and Jiang County Master. There must be something unique about it."

"Aunt Yun, don't worry. My mother can be successful anywhere." After Zhang Wenfeng's guidance, Weng Qing no longer felt so guilty about causing his mother to lose the game.

He was the type who would make the best of whatever happened to him, and children were more envious of strong people than adults. After Jiang Ran won the double top spots, he gave up the idea of ​​studying at Mingxiao College. He was just thinking about how to persuade his mother to let him go to Suhong College, but he didn't expect that he would settle down in Suling now.

He said greedily, "Suling County must have all kinds of delicious food. Mom, I want to eat some cakes..."

……

Pan Gushou did not respond that night, but on the day she returned to Suling County, when Jiang Ran turned around, she saw the Solitary Hand Immortal standing behind her with a gourd of bamboo-flavored monkey wine in his arms, his face flushed from drinking.

Then you know he has made his choice.

Lian Xiang said with a smile, "It seems that Uncle Pan doesn't want to be a one-handed immortal, but a one-handed national master!"

Pan Gushou stared at him, refusing to admit it. "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl!"

……

"Greetings to the County Lord!"

"Congratulations on your return and your fame!"

The people in the city gathered together after hearing the news, and stood in the distance to watch. When they saw the familiar figure in the front, standing against the sunlight on the dome and as if wrapped in a fiery cloud, their pride overflowed, their cheeks flushed with excitement, and they began to shout unconsciously.

The guard of honor organized by Li Fusheng had been waiting at the other end of the teleportation array for a long time, and the officers and soldiers were maintaining order.

Li Fusheng bowed and extended his hand, "My Lord, please get in the carriage."

Suling County is no longer the impoverished little territory it was two years ago. The carriage that came forward to greet them was tall and imposing, with an exterior full of gorgeous and complicated decorations. The sunstone tassels on the curtains swayed slightly in the air, shining brightly and exuding a gentle aura.

The sunstones that are like bright pearls are not ordinary crystals. They must have been deposited for thousands of years and have given birth to spiritual charm. The miners in the desert discovered this stone in the Xiangling Secret Realm and sent it to the Jiang Mansion.

In order to distinguish it from ordinary sunstone, the transformed sunstone has a new name: Xihe Stone.

The Xihe Stone was then sent to jewelry craftsmen to be made into jewelry, and part of it was loaded onto carriages.

The gilded black cloth curtains used in the carriage were also no ordinary items. They were made from silk carefully crafted from the silk spit out by the silver crystal butterfly. They were shimmering and the sewing was extremely delicate and exquisite.

This carriage was not the one that was confiscated in Xinheng Town, but one specially made by the county's weapon refiners and craftsmen. Although it was not some fancy magic weapon, its appearance was far superior to the luxurious carriages ridden by the children of the aristocratic families in Mingxiao City.

Li Fusheng specially ordered someone to build this carriage in order to welcome the county lady back to the court in a high-profile manner today.
