Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 898 Outside
After hearing Zhan Yi's words, the War King pondered for a long time before finally saying, "No wonder they use curses, Yin Ning flowers, and raise accomplices. It can be explained by the Black Witch Clan."

Although there is no conclusive evidence that Feng Yongnian is a member of the Black Witch Clan, in the War King's mind he already is.

The War King paused for a moment, then said, "Have someone keep a close eye on Qixia Manor and be on standby at any time."

Upon hearing that the operation was imminent, Zhan Yi immediately perked up and excitedly replied, "Yes!"

Although the War King gave Zhan Yi these instructions, they couldn't close the net immediately.

Just as the War King picked up the comprehension document, he heard another knock on the door.

The War King said calmly, "Enter!"

It was Zhan Yi who had just left. This time, he entered carrying a box and respectfully said, "Your Highness, these are talismans I just retrieved from Miss Tang Er's place."

Having said that, Zhan placed the box on the War King's desk.

The War King grunted and opened the box.

The talismans were neatly folded, and on top of them was a short note written by Tang Wan, telling the War King that there were a total of 620 peace talismans.

The War King looked at the note in his hand with a smile in his eyes, and after a moment, carefully placed it in the drawer of his desk.

Then, the War King flipped through a few peace charms, examined them briefly, looked up at Zhan Yi, and said, "I will personally deliver them to the royal family and relatives. As for the rest, you can distribute them to those important officials in the Imperial Study and have them distribute them to their subordinates."

After saying that, the War King took out about one-third of the talismans and then closed the box.

Zhan Yi was unaware of the plan discussed by the War King and the other officials. He only felt that there were too many talismans. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke up: "Your Highness, a batch of talismans for those officials' residences has already been sent over."

“Not enough,” said the War King. “They have many officials under them, and each family has several. If we distribute them, there won’t be enough. It’s always good to have more.”

Zhan Yi said no more, took the box, and prepared to give it away.

The War King called him back: "Tell those officials that if they don't have enough talismans, we'll send some more over in the next day or two. Tell them to use them on the most important people first, and then distribute the rest gradually."

"Yes," Zhan Yi replied, bowed, and withdrew.

The study quieted down. Zhan Wang looked at the stack of talismans beside him, found a box to put them away, got up to change his clothes, and prepared to go out.

He went to each member of the royal family, one by one. Some of the elders might not be easy to talk to, but this matter concerned his life and family, so he couldn't ignore it. After thinking it over, the War King decided to go and discuss it with the Minister of the Imperial Clan first.

The Minister of the Imperial Clan is the younger brother of the late emperor, the uncle of the current emperor, and by seniority, the great-uncle of the Prince of War. He is now in his sixties.

He had not been involved in court affairs for many years, but was in charge of the affairs of the imperial family and relatives. Although he did not hold real power, he had a very high prestige among the relatives.

If there's anything, as long as he steps in, no one dares to disrespect him.

After leaving the palace, the War King rode directly to the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Clan.

Upon arriving at the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Clan, I presented my invitation at the gatehouse and was soon welcomed inside.

When Zong Zhengqing saw him enter, he smiled and said, "A rare guest! What brings you to this old man's place?"

After bowing, the War King didn't beat around the bush and briefly recounted the story of the Southern Desert spy.

Of course, he didn't mention any specific details, only the Wu family's affairs, the necessity of the investigation, and the matter of the peace charm.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Zong Zhengqing's face gradually faded, and he asked in a deep voice, "People from the Southern Desert? Has it been confirmed?"

The War King nodded and replied, "It has indeed been confirmed. The wet nurse in Vice Minister Wu's residence was a spy from the Southern Desert, who had been lurking for over a decade and nearly killed the young master of the Wu family. We are still investigating whether there are any in other residences. We also cannot let our guard down with our relatives."

Zong Zhengqing was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right. So what do you want me to do?" Zhan Wang cupped his hands politely and said, "Please ask your great-uncle to come forward and gather all the clan members together to explain the situation. I have already prepared peace talismans and will distribute them to each family according to the number of people. Firstly, it will save me from going to each family one by one, and secondly, there are some clan members I am not familiar with. Your presence will be more effective than anything I say."

Zong Zhengqing glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "You rascal, you know how to save trouble."

The War King did not respond.

Zong Zhengqing stood up, paced back and forth in the study for a couple of steps before speaking, “Very well. This matter certainly cannot be taken lightly. You set a time, and I will send someone to deliver the message. The person in charge of each household must come; if they don’t, I will go to them personally.”

Upon hearing this, the War King felt relieved and replied, "Then tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), at your residence. Thank you for your trouble, Grand Uncle."

Zong Zhengqing waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's the trouble? We're all family. But you'll probably have to put in a lot more effort."

The War King nodded: "I'm fine here, but it will probably take several days to complete the entire investigation. I'm afraid something unexpected might happen during that time."

Zong Zhengqing looked at him with a complicated expression in his eyes.

This War King is considered the most promising member of the royal family this generation, even stronger than his brothers, in his opinion. It's a pity his maternal clan is not good enough, and he doesn't know what the future holds.

Zong Zhengqing patted his tiger cub without saying much, and patted the War King on the shoulder: "Go. I'll be waiting for you here at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."

The War King nodded slightly, took his leave, and left.

Tang Wan was unaware that the War King had already arranged for the royal family to give a unified explanation of the situation tomorrow.

After arranging the tasks at hand, she thought that since there were many members of the royal family and numerous officials in the court, there might not be enough peace charms. After all, each family had a few, and with so many officials in the court, they would run out quickly.

If it's not enough, he'll be in a hurry.

Seeing that Zhu Xi was not there, they had Er Ya bolt the door, and the two of them went directly into the space.

Upon entering the space, Tang Wan went to the study to draw talismans, leaving Er Ya free to move around.

Er Ya went to her favorite place, the place where she used to cultivate in the back mountains.

Tang Wan drew with complete focus, and the stack of talisman paper in her hands gradually rose—ten, twenty, fifty…

She thought it best to draw more, just in case.

Half an hour later, Tang Wan felt a little tired and stopped writing.

She put down her pen and rubbed her aching wrist. She counted them; there were still less than two hundred sheets.

Tang Wan wasn't in a hurry. She drank a cup of spiritual spring water, then called Er Ya and asked her to leave her spatial dimension to see if there was any progress in Shuntian Prefecture.

After sending Er Ya out of the space, Tang Wan returned to the space to continue drawing talismans.

When I get tired of drawing, I go to the fields in the space to check on my crops.

This discovery is significant; the crops in the space will need to be harvested again in the next day or two.

Tang Wan made a mental note of it and then went straight back to her own courtyard.

She didn't continue painting in the space. Although the spiritual energy in the space was more abundant and painting was faster, it wasn't convenient in broad daylight. She had already spent quite a long time in the space today, so she decided to paint outside instead.

Tang Wan had just drawn a few talismans in the outer study when the bell in the space rang again.
