As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 736: The King and the People Are United

At this moment, Jiang Ran was communicating with the two elders, Qi and Feng.

Her 18th birthday was also the banquet for the territory to be declared a county. Jiang Ran would of course inform her friends, although Qi Yu and Feng Chi both knew the date.

However, the two of them had important matters to attend to, one in Ningluo and the other in Hanyuan, and they were unable to rush back.

But I didn’t expect that they all asked their elders in the family to visit them.

In addition to the Qi and Feng families, Yunrong, the patriarch of the Qianyun clan, will also bring a few of his little ones to Dasu to celebrate for her.

The beautiful Zhou Yixiao, who she often contacts, and Mr. Wang, who she met because of the bamboo monkey wine, and Min Niang and other drinking buddies also received the invitation sent by Jiang Ran. They were all happy and said that they wanted to come and see the beautiful scenery of Dasu.

After putting down the sound transmission stone, Jiang Ran heard from Li Fusheng about the people's gift giving. The tail of Jiang Ran's eyebrows slightly raised, with an interested look, "Manager Li is right, we can't waste the people's kindness, at least go and take a look."

By evening, after some persuasion and some driving away by the Imperial Guards, no one lined up to give gifts anymore.

The gifts were piled up into a mountain, and the servants carried the gifts carefully with sweat on their foreheads.

Jiang Ran glanced around and said nothing, then picked out five items from the dazzling array.

Li Fusheng thought that the five items picked by His Royal Highness were ordinary. There were many people who gave gifts, including spiritual herbs sent by powerful monks and valuable treasures sent by wealthy merchants. There should be better items among them.

But the young female official with fair and tender skin beside her suddenly had bright eyes, and quickly took out a notebook and wrote something.

Li Zongguan had sharp eyes and "accidentally" glanced at the content above. He saw that Lin Feixue, the historian of the Great Su, who was only eleven years old, wrote in the notebook: The prince loves the world, and the people also support the king. On the eve of the coming-of-age banquet, the people rushed to send blessings... The king selected the bamboo slips of scholars, the wheat grains of farmers, the rulers of workers, the abacus of merchants, and the sharp swords of soldiers... It is true that the people's will is as deep as the sea, the king's heart is as heavy as a mountain, and the king and the people are of one mind...

Li Fusheng suddenly realized why Jiang Ran did not choose the better-looking things, but instead chose five ordinary items.

As expected, he was ranked third in the last year's written test. This ability to guess the king's mind is not something that ordinary people can have.

Jiang Ran hung the wooden sword she had just obtained on her body. The sword had a wooden scabbard, and it was obvious that the craftsman had put a lot of effort into it. The fine patterns on it were clearly visible, and it felt heavy.

"A nice wooden sword." Jiang Ran felt it was quite handy.

Jiang Ran once asked Master Pan Gushou why he said that his swordsmanship was poor.

Pan Gushou said bluntly: "You ran away before you even learned to walk. You are extremely talented, but relying too much on magic weapons is not a good thing."

Pan Gu Shou was referring to the Chi Yuan Sword in her hand.

In his opinion, Jiang Ran is now unable to control the Chi Yuan Sword, and it is the Chi Yuan Sword that is influencing her.

Master Pan Gushou is still not very serious, but coming to Dasu means that he has accepted the identity of "future national teacher", and he usually teaches Jiang Ran swordsmanship on time.

He told Jiang Ran to try not to use the Chi Yuan Sword recently and to find a wooden sword. He then asked her to start learning from the most basic things again.

Jiang Ran readily agreed to this.

"I just happened to need a wooden sword, and here it is."

... "Master, it's already so late, who are you still communicating with?"

The sound of Qi Yu's slightly heavy breathing could be heard from the sound transmission stone. The mature man had a low and hoarse voice, and it seemed as if there was air blowing through the crystal stone and blowing in his ears.

Behind Qi Yu there was the loud sound of rocks exploding and swords clashing. The Qi family's retainers blocked the lava bursts swung by the enemy and shouted in panic for the head of the family to help.

Qi Yu paused, lowered his voice, and said, "I'll be back soon."

Before Jiang Ran could respond, he quickly cut off the voice transmission.

“……” Jiang Ran stroked his forehead.

Qi Yu calculated the time very accurately. It was midnight at this time, which happened to be January 23rd, her birthday. He sent a message at this time, probably to wish her a happy birthday.

Even in danger, he still wanted to send a message. Jiang Ran admitted that he seemed to hear the splendor of fireworks blooming amid the eruption of rocks.

……

A red sun rose slowly from the horizon. Large patches of pink and orange clouds appeared on the horizon. The tide swept away the darkness of the night. The dim sky revealed a black silhouette of a huge monster.

Jiang Ran's birthday party was held on the Henghai No. 2.

The facilities of Henghai No. 2 are complete. Now all that is left is to coat the hull with Huanjin Tuling Liquid. Although it cannot go to farther, more unknown and more dangerous places, it is more than enough to sail in the shallow waters of Suyuan.

"Aunt Qi, long time no see." The speaker's voice was ethereal and her tone was soft. The woman was dressed in a water-blue Yanluo dress, her black hair was gently tied up with a cicada jade hairpin inserted diagonally, her skin was as white as cream, and there was a unique clarity between her light eyebrows, a harmless and gentle beauty.

This person is Feng Qing, the eldest granddaughter of the Feng family and the elder sister of Feng Chi. She has excellent cultivation and is highly skilled in refining equipment. Now she is a first-grade heavenly weapon refiner. She pays special attention to aesthetics when refining equipment and often combines deadly weapons with ornaments. For example, the cicada jade hairpin on her head is magnificent and exquisite, but it can be transformed into a green flame silk sword with extremely strong power. As long as people are touched by the green flame, they will be in unbearable pain.

Feng Qing is also one of the potential heirs of the Feng family. Now she does not rely on the Feng family, but runs her own weapon refining workshop. The female monks love the magic weapons produced in her workshop very much, so she has no worries about business.

The Feng family and the Qi family are old friends, so naturally they have thought about intermarriage.

Feng Chi's father Feng Zhixiang once pursued Qi Zhuangmei, but Qi Zhuangmei only had cultivation and the Qi family in her heart, and had no love between men and women.

When Qi Yu was born, Feng Zhixiang wanted Qi Yu to be engaged to his daughter Feng Qing. However, Feng Qing was already fifteen years old at the time. How could she be willing to get married to a baby who was still in swaddling clothes and breastfeeding? The girl pulled Feng Zhixiang's beard in public, and only then did the old father give up.

This is an interesting past event. Qi Zhuangmei smiled slightly and nodded to Feng Qing.

Little did he know that Feng Qing's heart was filled with turbulent waves because of Qi Zhuangmei's appearance here.

Aunt Qi even refused to join forces with the Feng family to fight for the Vitality Stone, but participated in a county-level... Oh no, now this Suling has become the Great Su County City...

A prince who was a county lady some time ago could actually make the arrogant Aunt Qi come in person to celebrate her birthday. What kind of ability does Jiang Ran have...

In fact, Feng Qing and Jiang Ran had no intersection, and Jiang Ran didn't even know Feng Chi, her sister.

This time it was Feng Chi who requested it repeatedly, and this time the Feng family and Dasu joined forces to seize the Vitality Stone, temporarily linking their alliance relationship. Feng Qing thought that Dasu and Mingxiao had a teleportation array, and it wouldn't take much time to make the trip, so he came with gifts.
