Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 192 The black box is obtained.

"Master! You should at least have breakfast before you go out! If Madam asks about this, what will we tell her?"

A nimble fat man ran out of the gate of Fan Mansion in a hurry, followed by two servants chasing him.

The fat man was still a young man with a few black moles on his face. He looked honest and simple, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes that moved around randomly.

As he ran, he turned around and shouted to the servants who followed him: "How can you be so stupid! Just say that there is an urgent matter in the bookstore and I have to go to handle it quickly. If mother asks, you better watch your mouth!"

But just as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Ye Ling'er outside the gate, staring at him with a malicious smile.

He stopped subconsciously, a trace of fear flashed across his face. He had not yet forgotten the scene of being beaten by Miss Ye.

He paused for breath, and immediately greeted her with a flattering smile: "Miss Ye, are you here to look for my brother? Unfortunately, he was just called to the palace. Are you here to take him to meet his future sister-in-law? I have something to say about this. It's better not to see each other as much as possible before the two of you get married."

It seems that this person is Fan Sizhe.

Rumor has it that this young master of the Fan family has always been arrogant and has a bad temper, but now he seems to be quite docile, but he is a bit talkative.
The furry kids still need to be beaten more.

Fan Xian's education seems to be quite effective.

As he spoke, he saw Li An next to Ye Ling'er. His eyes were very clear and there was nothing strange in them. In his eyes, these young ladies were all the same, not as pretty as abacus beads, nor as dazzling as silver.

Ye Linger was slightly startled and was about to respond when she heard a cold voice coming from inside the Fan Mansion: "Fan Sizhe! I heard from the servants that you disturbed Big Brother's rest again? You urged Big Brother to update all day long. Are you obsessed with money?"

"Where's my ruler!?"

"Oh, how come you're here so quickly!" Fan Sizhe muttered, with obvious fear on his face. He didn't delay any longer and bowed to the two of them, saying, "If you two want to look for my brother, you can go into the mansion and wait. I have something else to do here, so I won't stay with you any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran past the two people and ran away. Judging from the direction he ran in, it was not the road to the bookstore.
"Let's go. The Fan family should all be occupied by their wives by now."

Ye Ling'er opened her thin lips and led Li An to the main gate. Seeing Jiang Yannian following behind them, she explained softly, "The young man just now was Fan Sizhe, the son of the second wife of Si Nanbo's mansion."

Li An nodded slowly without saying anything, but asked knowingly: "Second Madam?"

Ye Ling'er just thought that Li An really didn't know the inside story: "This second wife's surname is Liu and her name is Ruyu. She was taken into the mansion by Earl Si Nan more than ten years ago. It's strange to say, this wife's family is not small. Not only has a duke been born within three generations, but her cousin even entered the palace and became Yi Guipin, and gave birth to the third prince for His Majesty. But the Liu family, with such a strong background, actually agreed to let their daughter marry Si Nan Earl's second wife. I don't know what they are thinking."

"It is indeed strange."

Li An had a strange smile on his face. After entering the gate, he followed Ye Ling'er to the side hall. A servant had already gone to the back to report their arrival.

Because Jiang Yannian was following her, Ye Ling'er did not go directly to the courtyard where Fan Ruoruo lived as usual.

Looking around carefully, the scenery and scale along the way were a bit surprising even with Li An's current vision. He then asked, "Si Nanbo has his current status and the emperor's favor is increasing day by day. It can be seen how sharp Madam Liu's vision was at the beginning."

"But why is it that after so many years, Madam Liu is still the second wife, and Sir Si Nanbo doesn't make her his first wife?"

Ye Ling'er shook her head slowly. She couldn't explain this clearly.

Logically speaking, remarrying is already outrageous, but for more than ten years, Si Nanbo has not given Madam Liu the title of principal wife. Even if Liu Ruyu can tolerate it, can the Liu family behind her agree?
Although these are other people's own family affairs, it's not nice to tell others about them!

Li An also found this strange. Even if Fan Jian had feelings for Ye Qingmei, she was dead after all. Later, he married and had Fan Ruoruo, and Liu Ruyu gave birth to a boy for him. It didn't make sense either emotionally or logically.

In short, all the powerful men in Qing country are not normal.
The two of them entered the side hall and sat down. Soon, Fan Ruoruo, who had not yet left, heard the news and rushed over. After all, this was a meeting of the younger generations, so Liu Ruyu did not show up.

"Ruoruo."

"Why is Sister Ling'er here today?" Fan Ruoruo put on a smile on her face, but her heart was full of doubts.

He glanced calmly at Li An beside Ye Ling'er, then kept silent and waited for Ye Ling'er to introduce.

This side hall for receiving guests was not small in size, but it was filled with a strange fragrance because of her arrival. Li An sniffed twice and immediately detected some herbal scent in the fragrance. It smelled quite good.

Fine tea and exquisite pastries were served, and after Ye Ling'er had a chat with Fan Ruoruo using the usual opening remarks of aristocratic families, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

After coughing twice, she introduced Li An and explained her purpose.

"This is Miss Li Ping. She came from Danzhou to look for your brother."

Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "I wonder how Miss Li knows my brother? And what is the purpose of coming here this time?"

From Danzhou
I had lived in Danzhou for quite some time before, but I had never heard of any large family with the surname Li.

She thought about it and looked at Li Ang twice more, not for any other reason, but because he was too outstanding. Such temperament could never be cultivated by a small family.

Is it possible?
But my brother has already made an engagement and will be marrying Lin Wan'er soon!

"Miss Ruoruo, don't think too much. My family has some business in Danzhou. I heard that Master Fan will take over the inner treasury in the future, so I thought of making a deal with him."

Li An's eyesight was very sharp, and he could see through Fan Ruoruo's thoughts at a glance by sensing her emotions.

Gently stroking his long sleeves, his entire temperament suddenly changed, revealing an air of wealth and nobility, which made his words full of credibility.

"trade?"

Fan Ruoruo felt relieved, but more questions came to her mind, "What kind of deal is this? My brother hasn't been involved in much business yet, and he only owns a bookstore. He took over the inner treasury only after getting married, so maybe we have to wait for a while."

"Not urgent."

"The essence of trading is to exchange what you have, so the items you exchange are naturally things that both parties have and need!"

Li An smiled slightly, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Fan Ruoruo. There was no writing on the pages. It was the "Kingly Way and Tyrannical Skills" that he had copied from Emperor Qing's cultivation.

"What is this?"

Fan Ruoruo knew that she couldn't make the decision for her brother, so after asking, she pretended to open the booklet to check.

"Miss Ruoruo, it's better not to look at it. Just give it to Master Fan. He will naturally understand whether this thing is real and its specific value."

Li An continued with a smile: "I smell a faint herbal scent on Miss Ruoruo. I wonder if she is practicing medicine?" He paused and said: "I guess Mr. Fan's complexion should be up and down recently, and he often coughs up blood. I wonder if I am right?"

Fan Ruoruo's eyes narrowed, and she didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Li An deeply.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "Is this booklet the remedy for the symptoms?"

"You might as well think so."

After all, there was a problem with the technique. The book "Domineering True Qi" is as its name suggests, the true qi that is cultivated is indeed extremely domineering. It is domineering to the enemy and even more merciless to oneself.

However, although the exercise is good, the route of practice is calculated by a supercomputer.

It completely ignores whether the user's physical strength can keep up with the burden brought by this practice. Take Fan Xian's current situation as an example. When fighting with others, no matter who wins or loses, he will be injured by three points. It can be called the alien version of the Seven Injury Fist!

Emperor Qing was a lesson for us. He had acquired the Tyrannical Skills for a longer time and his cultivation was more profound. He had also experienced the symptoms that Fan Xian was experiencing now.

At that time, the Wei Dynasty had just collapsed. If he had not been blessed enough on the battlefield, how could he have been promoted to a grandmaster without any meridians left?
From this perspective, this booklet can indeed be considered a good remedy.

"So what does Miss Li want to exchange?"

At this moment, Fan Ruoruo felt heavy in her heart.

Listening to Li Ping's words, it seems that she knows her brother very well and is well prepared. But they don't know the other party's specific situation at all. If the other party wants money, it's easy to deal with. I'm afraid that what she wants will cost her brother a lot!

"It's not convenient to tell Miss Ruoruo about the things we want to exchange."

"Of course, as I said before, it must belong to Master Fan. He will know what it is when he returns home."

Li An looked at the woman in front of him. She was not particularly pretty, but her eyebrows were extremely pure. She was naturally weak but also had a hint of competence and indifference. She was like an iceberg and could stand on her own. His heart was full of emotion.

It seemed as if she was wary of everyone except Fan Xian.

"Miss Li also knows that there was a riot in the palace a few days ago. Most of the buildings were destroyed and need to be rebuilt. In addition, leaflets appeared in the city last night to spread the news. My brother will not be able to come back for a while."

Fan Ruoruo's idea was simple. Since this booklet could cure her brother's "illness", she would naturally trade it.

After all, nothing is more important than anyone.

But she couldn't make the final decision on behalf of her brother, so she was a little embarrassed: "Miss Li, please wait for a moment and have some tea and snacks. I will complete the transaction with Miss Li after my brother returns home."

"You can give this booklet to Mr. Fan first. Just consider it as my sincerity."

Li An acted very sincere, as if he was not worried at all that Fan Xian would not make the deal.

After all, he will go and get the items for the transaction himself.

Standing up, he apologized, "The tea Miss Ruoruo used to entertain you must be authentic Wufeng flower tea, right? It really has a fragrant aroma and a long aftertaste."

"I just drank too much and now I want to go to the toilet. Could you please ask someone in the mansion to lead me to the West Pavilion?"

"It's not a big deal. It's normal for Miss Li to drink more of this tea." She waved outside, and Fan Ruoruo tacitly stopped asking about the transaction. She took advantage of Li Ping's use of the toilet to inquire about the other party's true situation with Miss Ye.

The maid led the way with light steps. Li An smiled at Fan Ruoruo and said, "Excuse me."

After that, Ye Ling'er and Fan Ruoruo exchanged pleasantries.

Outside the toilet, the maid who had just led the way fainted, and Li An was very gentle.

He randomly found an empty room to put it down, then used his lightness skills to fly towards Fan Xian's courtyard. On the way to the toilet, he learned where Fan Xian lived from just two words from the confused maid.

Thanks to Fan Xian's instructions, there were no servants to clean and serve in his courtyard, which saved Li An a lot of effort.

with a clear purpose.

He ran all the way to Fan Xian's dormitory, opened the door, closed the door, and climbed onto the roof beam!

Fan Xian doesn’t have a system space that allows him to carry the black box with him!

Great, the box is here!
Although there is no key for Li Ang to get the Barrett in the box, his main purpose is not the sniper rifle, but this magical box that cannot be broken by a knife or pierced by an axe!

No one knew what material it was made of. Even Wuzhu's iron pestle could only leave a white spot on it (although Wuzhu only used 70% of his strength when hitting the box because he was worried about damaging the things in the box, it was still terrifying).

Such high-tech things are the most valuable things that are overlooked by everyone!

Definitely better than Barrett.
As the thought flashed through his mind and his hand just touched the black box, Li An felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. A figure silently jumped behind his head, and an iron pestle suddenly attacked him like a black snake!

Without hesitation, he turned his palm and moved the black box behind him. In just a moment, he heard a muffled sound, which made his arm numb!

The effects of forces are reciprocal.

Wu Zhu leaped in the air with nowhere to gain leverage, and he had no Qi to jump a second time. After the collision, he could only helplessly fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, Li An took advantage of the situation and smashed the black box in his hand from top to bottom towards Wu Zhu's head, entangled with the opponent's trajectory and flew away.

The intelligence in Wuzhu's brain immediately analyzed the situation:
Under normal circumstances, the blow he just used would have been enough to kill the thief.

Under normal circumstances, even if the black box barrier can prevent the intruder from dying immediately, it can make the opponent's arms sore and weak, causing the black box to change hands.

Under normal circumstances, the opponent should not be able to detect your sneak attack.
But how can there be so many normal situations in the world?

"Grandmaster?"

Wu Zhu's right fingertips formed claws and covered the black box. Another great force exploded with the box as the medium, not only stopping Li Ang's counterattack and downward potential energy, but also pulling the black box backwards, trying to regain ownership of the item!

The force was so strong that Li An involuntarily took a step forward.

He clenched his right hand into the air, his true energy surged, and he swung his sword towards Wuzhu from a distance, which came into close contact with the iron pestle. The two of them fought in an instant!
Fortunately, Wu Zhu had no true qi, and Li An's true qi was condensed and not dispersed, so the destructive power to the surroundings was still within a controllable range.

The two of them moved around in such a small space until everything in the house was smashed to pieces, but the box was still in Li Ang's hands.

There was no further attack. The two men stood a few meters apart and the field fell into silence.

The iron pestle slowly pointed to the side of his body in a steady manner. This was the easiest posture to exert force. Wu Zhu tilted his head as if he could see Li An's face, and asked indifferently, "Were you the one in the palace that day?"

"No, it's not you."

Li An smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter who I am! But I have been out of the side hall for a long time. I wonder if you can make way and let me go?"

"I guess you heard the conversation just now. This thing is what we exchanged for the booklet!"

The true energy is rising and falling, perhaps the war will break out again.

The next time they attack, neither of them will hold back. The outcome will only be known after the fight, but whether the huge Fan Mansion can survive is still unknown.
Li An was full of confidence in himself. Judging from the strength of Wu Zhu's attack just now, he was even inferior to Si Gu Jian. If Wu Zhu didn't use his two eyes, he could only rival a grandmaster at best!

His victory lies in his tirelessness, insensitivity to pain and his ability to never make mistakes.

He can always intercept any attack with the shortest route and the most appropriate method, and when the enemy's energy is exhausted, that's when he kills!
Perhaps, the opponent's 'amnesia' also caused him to lose some combat experience?

Wu Zhu looked like a real person, and he was trying to think like a human. After a moment, he could hear the noise from the outside world, and his indifferent voice sounded again: "The people can leave, but the box must stay. At least, we have to wait until Fan Xian comes back to make a decision."

Hearing this, the smile on Li An's lips suddenly turned cold.

"What if I say no?"
