Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"Want to join the Star City Chamber of Commerce? Tell him that I agree to this."

"No, it's something else..."

"Another thing, what else is there?"

What good can come from this old guy Ren Fa?

"I have a cousin named Zhuzhu. She came back from studying in England last month. My father and my cousin wanted her to come to the Governor's Mansion to accompany me."

"Then let her come. We are all relatives. The Governor's Mansion is rich and powerful, so she won't need a bite of food."

Really not, Li Chengqian really didn’t think about it that way at first.

"Don't you want to meet her first?"

"Is it necessary to meet her? We'll meet her when we come here. Let's not talk about her. Have you rested well?"

Pressing Ren Tingting under him, Li Chengqian decided to start the second half.

...............

Red House

It was already 11am, and Er Yuehong was still reading books in his study.

"Second Master"

The maid came in carrying a bowl of lotus seed soup.

"Girl, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go and rest?"

That’s right, this girl is not that girl. She is Er Yuehong’s favorite. The two have been in love with each other for a long time and originally planned to get married officially in a month.

"Second Master, the lotus seed soup I just cooked is not to your liking."

"I like everything you do."

"Is this matter very troublesome?"

Although the girl is naive, she still has the ability to read people's expressions.

"It's okay. I can handle it."

This was the first time that Er Yuehong was forced to go to a tomb since he started his career, but no man was willing to show weakness in front of the woman he loved, so he answered easily and casually.

"Second Master, am I a burden to you again?"

"How could that be? My Red Mansion is rooted in Star City. If the Governor's Mansion comes to me, I can't escape no matter what."

Er Yuehong knew in her heart that the reason she caught the attention of the Governor's Mansion this time must have something to do with Huo Jinxi.

Although Li Chengqian has a good reputation among the people, he is also a man and can be narrow-minded; making things difficult for the third concubine's rumored boyfriend can only be said to be the most normal thing to do.

"Why don't you ask Jiu Ye to think of a solution? He is a member of the Star City Chamber of Commerce and your best friend."

"That's why it's even harder for me to ask him for help."

Er Yuehong had thought about asking Jie Jiu for help; but when he thought that the mastermind behind this might be Li Chengqian, he gave up immediately.

The term "dominant" is not enough to describe the power that man has in Hunan Province and Star City; most people regard Li Chengqian as a local tyrant. He is the sky of Star City, a tyrannical being who can make anyone live or die.

Chapter 419 Ren Zhuzhu

Having owned the system for many years, Li Chengqian had already understood a truth: those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others.

So most of the time, he acts as a decision maker; with the general staff and artificial intelligence to make plans, he only needs to state his demands and then give orders.

Whether it was Lin Jiu or Er Yuehong, after issuing the instructions, he did not spend much energy to care about these things.

Everything has its balance. It was easy for him, but some people were driven to death by him.

Chaotian Temple

It took a full half month, but the big pit dug by Shi Jian was finally filled up by a group of Taoists and monks.

Yes, it was during this half month that not only Taoists from all over Hunan Province but also many monks came.

But before Lin Fengjiao could breathe a sigh of relief, the nine gold medals sent by the Governor's Mansion made him fall into a bottomless pit again.

Chinese characters are profound and extensive. In fact, he should have thought of the current ending as early as when he received the gift from Ren Tingting.

Since he is the chief demon-hunting captain, he must have the position of demon-hunting captain under him; Hunan Province is divided into nine regions, four districts and five offices, and these nine gold medals correspond to the demon-hunting captains of the nine districts.

Li Chengqian gave Lin Fengjiao the power to appoint the captains of the nine major district demon-hunting teams, namely Changbao Road, Yuechangli Road, Hengyongchengui Road, Chenyuanyongjing Road, Qianzhou Hall, Fenghuang Hall, Yongsui Hall, Huangzhou Hall and Guzhangping Hall. It can be said that he trusted her, but he was also putting him under fire.

"Lin Jiu, I joined the Maoshan Sect earlier than you. My moral character and magical power are both top-notch. Who else but me can be the captain of the demon-slaying team of Qianzhou Hall?"

In ancient times, people recommended themselves, and now Mr. Qian is no shirking his responsibilities.

"Senior Brother Qian is of course the best choice, but I, Xu, am no less capable than others. You want to be the captain of the demon-slaying team of Qianzhou Hall, but do you want me to obey you?"

The captain of the demon-killing team can not only mobilize local police forces, but also nominally control all the monks in the area; Master Qian and Master Xu are both from Qianzhou Hall, and their abilities are equally matched, and neither of them is willing to admit defeat. Now that one of them has to take on the role of a junior, a fight is inevitable.

"this?"

Lin Fengjiao is an expert in catching ghosts, but he is a layman in dealing with this kind of problem; and this is just an internal problem of Maoshan. When it involves Taoism and Buddhism in the entire Hunan Province, he is even more at a loss.

"Amitabha, Brother Lin, Governor Li trusts you so much, you must come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible."

The abbot of Kaifu Temple, Monk Zhishan, also exerted pressure from the side, saying: Living in the world of mortals, eating grains and cereals, who can truly be free from the four elements?

“Master Lin, the commander-in-chief asked you to select nine people with great virtue and magic power to serve as captains of the nine districts’ demon-slaying teams, but he didn’t ask you to make a choice right away.

In my opinion, you should wait until the Taoist priests and masters have made achievements in their respective areas before deciding on this candidate."

Through this period of time together, Zhang Kangan already knew that Lin Fengjiao was from Renjia Town, and had a master-disciple relationship with Li Chengqian's second concubine Ren Tingting; in order to curry favor with the other party, he stood up to smooth things over.

"Yes... yes, Director Zhang is right. As for the appointment of the demon-killing captain, I would like to wait until you have made achievements in your respective areas before making a decision."

With Zhang Kangan's reminder, Lin Fengjiao learned the secret of officialdom without any instruction - the strategy of procrastination.

Yongheyuan

Ren Zhuzhu has lived in the courtyard that belongs to Ren Tingting for three days. From her initial fear and anxiety, to her later resignation to her fate, to her current contentment, her mental journey has been quite a long one.

"Sister, you are such a good painter. If you were in England, you would definitely become a great painter."

"You play the piano very well, shouldn't I praise you too?"

Compared to the fake sisterhood between Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinlian, the relationship between Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu is obviously much better; at least until now, there is no intrigue between them.

"Sister, what kind of person is he?"

Inevitably, the two talked about Li Chengqian.

"He is a very contradictory person; he has a plan for big things, but he may not understand simple hints about small things.

He is also a very charming person. As long as you get close to him, you will be attracted to him unconsciously.

Another thing is that he is very capable and versatile; you just said that I am good at oil painting, but he actually taught me that;

Also, he plays the piano very well, I believe you will have a lot of common topics with him in the future."

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In Ren Tingting's eyes, Li Chengqian is such a perfect person.

"But I heard that the warlords in the country are very barbaric. They basically don't treat concubines as human beings. They beat them and scold them as they please. Sister, you are not lying to me, are you?"

It's funny that no matter whether it's Ren Tingting or Ren Zhuzhu, the Western education they received taught them to have self-respect and self-reliance, to be independent women, and to advocate monogamy.

But the fact is that both of them are rootless, and their marriage cannot even be considered a blind marriage.

Although Ren Tingting is a concubine, after all, she is still married to the Ming Dynasty, and she was carried into the gate of the governor's mansion in eight palanquins to worship the heaven and the earth.

What was Ren Zhuzhu? If Li Chengqian didn't express his opinion, she would at most be like Huo Jinlian, a concubine or maid of Ren Tingting.

"How could I lie to you? He is completely different from those people. You will know when you see him when he comes back.

By the way, I once drew a portrait of him, which is 90% similar to him. Would you like to take a look at it?"

As she spoke, Ren Tingting had already taken out the oil painting.

"Sister, is he really that good-looking?"

Ren Zhuzhu asked with a blushing face.

In the oil painting, Li Chengqian is dressed in military uniform, and his appearance and temperament are even better than when Zhang Qiling appeared in The Mystic Nine.

Men are lustful, and women are even more lustful; Ren Zhuzhu, like Ren Tingting, is also a beauty-conscious person; she was instantly captivated by the stunning beauty of the person in the painting.

"It's absolutely true. Otherwise, do you think I would obediently become his second wife? Also, he is not only good-looking, but also very strong and durable..."

Inevitably, after following Li Chengqian, Ren Tingting continued to change little by little.

"Durable, what do you mean, sis?"

"This... you will know when the time comes."

Probably realizing that it was a bit hasty to tell her unmarried cousin Yunying about this, Ren Tingting stopped talking without saying anything.

"Isn't he the governor of Hunan Province? Why is he on official business in another province, and why is he gone for a month?"

Ren Zhuzhu asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. I rarely care about his outside affairs. But he always keeps his word. He said he would be out for a month and would definitely come back on the appointed day. Then I will arrange for you to meet him."

Ren Tingting obviously could not have imagined that this time, due to some special events, Li Chengqian would go back on his word to her.

Chapter 420 Si Teng

In ten years, Li Chengqian, in addition to his base in Hunan Province, also gradually infiltrated and controlled all the armies in Guizhou Province, Guangxi Province, Hubei Province, and Yunnan Province; on the surface, he was only the governor of Hunan Province, but secretly he was the true King of Southwest China.

As the territory expanded, problems also arose. He needed more absolutely loyal people to help him manage these armies and territories.

What is the human heart? The most difficult thing to grasp in the world. What is power? A poison that corrodes the human heart, strong and addictive.

Precisely because he could not grasp people's hearts and was aware of the corruptive nature of power, Li Chengqian never handed over important military positions to anyone other than highly bionic robots at the beginning, until highly bionic robots like Wuzhu were no longer enough.

Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems. He was very far-sighted and founded a military academy early on and trained a large number of close subordinates.

But for him, who was used to being in power and being in control, it was really hard for him to believe in human nature. Then he had an annual inspection trip out of the province to check the loyalty of his subordinates.

"Commander, there is a young woman fainted in the middle of the road ahead. There are some scars on her body. I guess she encountered bandits."

Li Chengqian was leaning against an off-road vehicle when the accompanying non-commissioned officer came forward to report.

"Whose jurisdiction is this? When you get to the next town, remember to call him and tell him to round up the nearby bandits. Tell him it was my idea."

"It's the Overseer. What do we do with that woman?"

"We have to hurry on our way. You can have someone take her to a nearby village to settle her down. There are barefoot doctors in every village now. As long as the illness is not serious, they can handle it."

But know how to do good things and don’t ask about the future; as long as it does not involve his fundamental interests, Li Chengqian can basically do the above two sentences.

"Hey, wait a minute. Saving a life is like saving a fire. I know a little bit about medicine, and I have some good medicine in my car. You can carry her to my car."

Li Chengqian's dialogues were like the scene in The Return of the Condor Heroes where Gongsun Zhi first met the possessed Xiaolongnu.

As for why there was such a big contrast in his attitude, like Gongsun Zhi, he was also impressed by the other person's appearance.

"It's the Overseer."

The subordinates did not feel that there was anything wrong. Everyone loves beauty. He asked Li Chengqian about this matter because he was attracted by the woman's appearance.

…………

"It is indeed her."

Li Chengqian had already guessed her identity from her appearance, and her hands, which gradually turned into vines after she got in the car, gave the answer directly.

At this point in time, she should still be just following Qiu Shan to hunt for his kind, and has not yet met the scumbag Shao Yankuan who taught her how to enjoy life and disturbed her mind.

But this is just right, isn't it easier to succeed when you are less experienced in the world?

Yes, following the grassroots hero Xu Xian, the one who achieved harmony between man and nature Dong Yong, and the ghost knight Ning Caichen, Li Chengqian also plans to write his own legend.

With such a look on her face, she must have suffered serious internal injuries in the fight with her own kind; logically, the Fountain of Life should have allowed her to recover immediately. Indeed, out of selfishness, Li Chengqian fed her a cup of dragon's blood.

"Girl, girl, wake up; girl, are you okay?"

As expected, the dragon blood was effective enough to heal the other party's injuries. Seeing that her hands had recovered, Li Chengqian began the awakening mode.
