As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 731 Dinner Table

Lin Sha was about to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to say that the Qingming Jiuye Flower was a life-saving treasure and should be kept with the county lord for emergency use, and most importantly, it should be used on the county lord herself.

But the miserable state of Wei Fengsheng made him speechless, and he had already used up all the things he had, so it was futile to say more. In the end, Lin Sha just sighed: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. I hope Commander Wei will not let down the County Lord's painstaking efforts in the future..."

It was inconvenient to travel at night, and since the injured had to be transported, everyone had to wait until the next morning to set out.

After the injured were treated, everyone had the leisure to marvel at the gorgeous crystal cave.

"There are so many beautiful crystals here. We in Suling are going to be rich!"

"It's so beautiful. Nature is truly amazing. I wonder if there are any crystals that contain spiritual energy. Decorations made from such spiritual crystals would be more popular among monks."

Everyone in the cave was knocking and banging in amazement, listening to the clear sounds of the crystals, their hearts burning with excitement.

After searching for treasure for a while, they actually found a piece of spiritual crystal the size of a pigeon egg. "Look, there really is one!"

Jiang Ran thought it was quite normal. This cave gave birth to spiritual objects like the Eight-Colored Marrow Crystal. After being bathed in spiritual energy day after day, it was normal for one or two crystals to store spiritual energy.

"My Lady County Lord, they are just sitting there doing nothing, so why not let them mine some crystals and bring them back so that the trip will not be in vain." Lin Sha suggested.

Sooner or later, the Wulian Green Mountain will be incorporated into Suling County, and the crystal mine will naturally belong to Suling.

Jiang Ran's vision has become higher now. She is not interested in a few crystals. She nodded and said, "The interior of this cave is not very stable. Be careful when mining."

Everyone was very happy to get Jiang Ran's promise.

Lin Sha said, "We still need to transport the wounded and the remains of the warriors tomorrow. The mined crystals must not affect tomorrow's operations. In addition, you must consciously hand over 80% of the mined crystals tomorrow. Don't be greedy."

"Yes!"

At dawn the next day, everyone set out on their journey home. At noon, they successfully left Wulian Qingshan.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When they returned to the territory, Wei Fengsheng's family came to greet them anxiously.

"How is my husband/father?"

"This time it's all thanks to Her Majesty the County who found Commander Wei and the others." Lin Sha said this, and suddenly felt his own incompetence. He had been searching for five days but had not been able to find anyone, and the Her Majesty the County had to take action.

The wife of the Wei family led Wei Zhizhi to kneel down and kowtow in front of Jiang Ran, "Thank you, Lord County Master, for your kindness and for personally saving my husband's life."

Jiang Ran helped the two of them up, "Get up, Commander Wei got into danger because he was doing things for me. Some strange changes have happened to him, and he needs to stay in the Lord's Mansion to see what happens next. You pack your things and come and take care of him."

Mrs. Wei nodded quickly and turned back to pack her things.

Jiang Ran: "Manager Li, go to the mansion warehouse and find some gold, silver, food, clothing, and valuable medicines to send to the families of the soldiers who died heroically this time. They have made contributions and will be recorded as martyrs. If they have descendants, they will be given priority in becoming officials."

"Yes."

After dealing with this matter, Jiang Ran felt relieved. Chun Ya quickly asked the kitchen to boil water, made a medicinal bath, and waited for her master to take a bath.

It was cold outside, but the house was cozy. The Ice and Fire Mirror was emitting curling heat. Jiang Ran asked someone to open the window a little, the size of two fingers. The house was immediately filled with a faint aroma of cold medicine. Jiang Ran put on a fluffy white robe, and Chun Ya told her that the meal was ready.

Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Xiaowen had already sat down at the dining table, waiting for her to start eating.

"My Lord, Master Jiang Nan, Miss Wen, this Lotus Blood Bamboo dish is made from the tenderest winter bamboo picked from Biquan Bay. It is very fresh and tender. Let's taste it."

There were twelve plates on the table. Because of the famine, Jiang Ran set an example by usually having only three or four dishes for one person. Recently, Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Xiaowen were staying at home, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some more delicious food.

Helian Blood Bamboo is a dish developed according to local conditions. It is cooked with the top-quality fire lotus seeds from Fenghuang Town and the three-pronged red blood winter bamboo shoots from Biquan Bay. The lotus seed powder and the fragrance of bamboo are blended together, giving it a unique flavor.

In addition to the lotus blood bamboo, today's steamed carp with rice flour and bird's nest in spiritual soup are the main dishes.

"Sister, the fish is cut as thin as a cicada's wing and transparent as fog. The chef at home was not hired in vain." Jiang Nancheng picked up a piece of fish and exclaimed.

It was rare for the three siblings to get together, and Jiang Ran did not stick to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so a few words could be heard from time to time at the table.

"Xiao Wen, how long can you stay at home this time?" Jiang Nancheng thought of something and looked up and asked.

"I will have to go back to the Purple Spirit Sect after my sister's birthday party is over." Jiang Xiaowen's eyes sparkled as she suddenly said to Jiang Ran, "Sister, I am now the third most powerful disciple under Master. When I become the most powerful disciple, Master will pass the Purple Spirit Sect to me. Then I will move the Purple Spirit Sect here and let the disciples of the Purple Spirit Sect serve as my sister's subordinates."

Jiang Ran paused while picking up the food, and looked at Jiang Xiaowen helplessly, "Does Luo Yan know what you are thinking?"

"Of course I don't know. Master will beat me if he knows." Jiang Xiaowen said confidently, "Just don't let him know. When my cultivation level exceeds Master's, Master will have no choice but to listen to me."

Traitor...

Jiang Nancheng looked at Jiang Xiaowen, and these two words were clearly revealed in his eyes.

Jiang Ran: "Then come on."

Jiang Xiaowen smiled, "Of course. I am not betraying Master. You know, the outside world is so chaotic. Every two months or even every two Sundays, other forces or independent cultivators gather together to rob our small sect. I am also looking for a backer for our sect. Master will understand my good intentions in the future~"

After the meal, Jiang Ran brought the two siblings to the martial arts training ground and guided them in their training for a while.

Their cultivation has improved relatively fast among their peers.

It's embarrassing to say that Jiang Nancheng is two years older than Jiang Xiaowen, but now he can't beat his sister who is a head shorter than him.

"Hehe, Jiang Nancheng, I will protect you from now on." Jiang Xiaowen carried the heavy sword on his shoulder fiercely, raised his chin, and touched his nose proudly.

"Why are you calling me Jiang Nancheng? Even if you are better at fighting than me, you still have to call me brother, idiot." Jiang Nancheng rolled his eyes at Jiang Xiaowen.

Jiang Nancheng's main occupation is to practice the art of cultivating demon spirits, and he spends most of his time on it. It is normal that he cannot beat her now. Jiang Xiaowen herself knows this, so she does not show off too much.

"Hu Lian is a very powerful guy, but, sister, I will become more powerful than him. From now on, you can rely on Xiaowen as much as you want." The reason why Jiang Xiaowen mentioned Hu Lian was because many people in the territory mentioned this talented young man and said that Jiang Ran had high hopes for him.

She felt a little jealous.
