Kazilan opened her eyes slowly. Was I saved? This person is so handsome. Was he the one who saved me?

Unlike in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, where Sarah drank dragon blood and immediately recognized her master, Si Teng’s level is much higher than hers. Although she was also affected, she did not lose herself.

"where is this place?"

Cars were still a rarity in this era, let alone Li Chengqian's car. Si Teng was full of curiosity about everything in front of her.

"We were in the car, why did the girl faint on the side of the road? Did she meet a bad guy?"

"Yeah, a very bad person."

"What about your family? Where is your home? I'll take you home."

"Si Teng has no family and no home."

The simple language, coupled with Si Teng's every frown and smile, instantly made Li Chengqian feel pity.

"So your name is Si Teng. Since you don't have a home, then come to my home. My home is big and can accommodate many people. If you don't have family, then let me be your family. From now on, I will protect you."

Facing the inexperienced Si Teng, Li Chengqian chose to be straightforward and go straight to the point.

"Ah."

Si Teng was raised by Qiu Shan since she was a child, and the only people she could come into contact with were Qiu Shan or other members of the Kar tribe.

Qiu Shan treated her very badly, beating and scolding her. Growing up in such an environment, Si Teng longed for love in her heart. The appearance of Li Chengqian gave her warmth, and she naturally fell in love with him.

…………

About a quarter of an hour later, Qiu Shan came to the place where Si Teng fainted.

"Oh no, she was taken away by the convoy just now."

He saw Si Teng fainted here, but in order to hunt down another member of the Kar tribe, he chose to leave it alone.

He also felt something when Li Chengqian's motorcade passed him; but in today's society, no matter if it was a Taoist priest or a master of hanging, they had to give way when they encountered an army, and he didn't even dare to look up and look directly at the other party's vehicles.

"No, I have to get her back."

Si Teng is a tool that Qiu Shan has spent more than ten years cultivating. It is his greatest reliance for entering Changming Mountain, the authentic Xuanmen sect. Now that the harvest season is approaching, how could he be willing to give up like this?

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

Evening

Yong'an County

This is already the territory of Hunan Province. For the local officials, the arrival of Li Chengqian's motorcade here is no different from receiving an emperor's travel in ancient times.

"I'm sorry that you, the commander-in-chief, have come to visit me. Please forgive me for not coming to greet you."

The county magistrate, Wang Zhiyuan, and the local gentry rushed to greet them as soon as possible.

"I came here uninvited. I am sorry to have troubled Magistrate Wang and you all to wait for me."

Compared with the military thugs who would whip people with horsewhips or point guns at people at any time, military commanders like Li Chengqian were too people-friendly.

"General, you are too kind. The Governor is very busy. We are blessed to be able to serve him."

Li Chengqian adopted a take-what-is-what-is approach. Apart from the military and the prosecutorial system, he retained all other local officials from the same group of bureaucrats as those of the previous dynasty. Don't think that this is inaction. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The less the changes in officials, the more stable it is for the local people.

…………

Peace Garden

The temporary residence that Wang Zhiyuan arranged for Li Chengqian was originally the house of the richest man in the area. When they heard that Li Chengqian might pass through here, they vacated it as soon as possible in case of emergency. Facts have proved that their choice was correct.

"It's a little shabby here, but I've already asked someone to make arrangements. It'll be another week before we get home. By then, I'll arrange a special house for you."

"No, this place is quite nice. I've never lived in such a big house."

The Kar people’s concept of food, clothing, housing and transportation is actually no different from that of ordinary humans. How could Si Teng, who lived in a chicken coop when she was a child, be dissatisfied with the house in front of her?

(I'm too busy at work, so I have to stop for a few days)

Chapter 421 Revealed

Because of Si Teng's joining, Li Chengqian's next itinerary turned into a stop-and-go mode of sightseeing.

It seems absurd to modern people that a provincial governor does not do his job but accompanies a woman to travel around and eat and drink everywhere; but in that time and era, with the contrast of his peers, Li Chengqian's behavior just made him look a bit like a normal governor.

first day:

"Do you like this? This is called candied haws. I loved eating it when I was a kid. You can try it. It tastes good."

"Like this candy man? If you like it, take it."

"This dress is nice. It will look good on you."

"It's getting cold, this mink fur is good, it can help you keep warm."

"This pearl necklace will look beautiful on you."

Step by step, Li Zhanan replaced Shao Zhanan and taught Si Teng about human food, clothing, housing and transportation.

the next day:

"This is the Liyuan, a place for singing. Do you want to listen to someone singing?"

Listening to music is one of the most popular pastimes in this era. "The Peony Pavilion" and "Romance of the West Chamber" still exist in the world today and are still popular songs.

Si Teng has a girlish heart and she is very interested in listening to music.

…………

Day :

"I want this, this, and this."

"The crystal pork elbow made in the Huibin restaurant is delicious, but I don't want to go there because it's too noisy. Why don't you ask someone to call the chef over?"

"The opera house is also quite noisy. I like listening to people singing, but I don't like too many people."

After just seven days of getting along, Li Chengqian suddenly had a guess: Su Daji might have been just an innocent little goblin before she met King Zhou of Shang.

A piece of white paper is too easily stained with color; Li Chengqian has already restrained himself, but his subconscious domineering behavior still affected Si Teng; a rich young master and a governor who holds the power of life and death are two different concepts.

"This evil creature actually dared to deceive the commander-in-chief. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with her this time!"

Li Chengqian was just joking with himself, but in Qiu Shan's eyes, isn't Si Teng the Su Daji who brought disaster to the country and the people?

He had discovered Si Teng's whereabouts four days ago, but due to the endless patrols of soldiers, he didn't dare to get close and could only watch from afar. The more he watched, the angrier he became.

.........

"Commander-in-Chief, urgent message from the fifth lieutenant."

In the pavilion, Li Chengqian was teaching Si Teng to paint in ink and wash when the signalman came forward to report.

"I'm going to answer a phone call. You can draw for a while."

Si Teng has a strong learning talent and learns things very quickly. Li Chengqian is also a good teacher, and the time they spend together is really sweet.

"Well, come back early, I still have a lot to ask you."

When a woman develops admiration for a man, it also means that she is about to lose herself; Si Teng now already shows such signs.

………………

"We got the stuff, but did it trigger an earthquake? How serious is it? Are there any casualties?"

Ultimately, professional matters should be left to professionals. The Wuqingzi Tomb archaeological team, led by Wu Zhu and guided by Er Yuehong, finally lived up to expectations and helped Li Chengqian retrieve the meteorite bronze.

"Don't be stingy with manpower. Save as many people as possible. Let the troops outside the city join the disaster relief. Disburse the pensions to me as soon as possible. If there is no money in the Finance Department's account, transfer it from the Chamber of Commerce first and say it was my intention."

A common problem in the world of tomb robbers is destructive archaeology. Destroying tombs is the most normal operation. This time, the archaeological team led by Wu Zhu was even more amazing. Not only did they destroy the tombs, they also successfully caused a major earthquake in the suburbs of Star City.

"Ah, a monster... someone come quickly, there is a monster..."

Here, Li Chengqian was discussing disaster relief matters with Wuzhu over the phone when he suddenly heard the maid in the garden crying for help.

"Oh no, it's Si Teng..."

Li Chengqianfu came to his heart, and immediately thought of what might happen, he quickly put down the phone and rushed to the pavilion.

“Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…”

Si Teng, who accidentally drank the revealing water, rolled on the ground in pain. After a while, her hands began to turn into vines, and then her feet, and then all parts of her body.

"You are a lowly creature, how dare you talk about love with others? You deceived the commander-in-chief and harmed the villagers. Today, I, Qiu Shan, will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and get rid of this evil creature like you."

Seeing Si Teng's appearance, Qiu Shan thought he had everything under control, he jumped out, and felt his presence in front of the soldiers who came after hearing the call.

"Captain, what should we do? The fourth concubine turned out to be a monster."

"We should have thought of this earlier. How could it be okay to meet such a beautiful woman in the wilderness?"

"She deliberately approached the Overseer to harm him."

"Should we just shoot him to death..."

Li Chengqian's guard battalion has traveled far and wide and is considered to be knowledgeable, but this is the first time they have encountered a monster revealing its true form; a beautiful lady one second ago turned into a vine monster the next. When encountering such a thing, even though they are skilled and brave, they can't help but feel a little timid.

"What are you doing..."

It was also at this time that Li Chengqian finally arrived at the scene of the incident.

"General, the fourth concubine..."

"Si Teng, Si Teng, what's wrong with you..."

Seven parts were acting, and three parts were true feelings. Seeing Si Teng rolling on the ground in pain, Li Chengqian felt a little distressed. He walked straight towards her, wanting to relieve her current condition.

"General Li, this is a demon, a low-class creature. You must not be deceived by her."

Qiu Shan blocked Li Chengqian's way. His look of loyal advice was exactly the same as the look of Jiang Ziya advising King Zhou of Shang in the Romance of the Gods.

"Get out of here, you evil Taoist priest. You must have done something to harm my concubine. Come, take him down for me."

Li Chengqian pushed Qiu Shan away, perfectly portraying the role of a stubborn tyrant who was obsessed with beauty.

"warlord?"

"Why, didn't you hear what I said clearly, or do you want to disobey military orders?"

swish

Li Chengqian's stern face was still quite intimidating, and more than a dozen guns were pointed at Qiu Shan's head at once.

"Si Teng, are you okay? Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

Li Chengqian took Si Teng, who was rolling on the ground, into his arms like a princess and let her head rest on his chest, hoping to make her feel better.

"Cheng Qian, I feel so uncomfortable. Don't look at me. I look so ugly now."

Although Si Teng felt uncomfortable, she was still conscious; when she thought about how Li Chengqian still stayed with her despite her condition, she was deeply moved.

"Li Chengqian, you are also a provincial governor, a prestigious figure, can't you see that she is a monster?"

Although there were more than a dozen guns pointed at his head, Qiu Shan did not get scared. He shouted angrily at the top of his lungs.

"Shut up and beat him out with sticks."

After all, Qiu Shan is not Shi Jian. Considering his complicated relationship with Si Teng, Li Chengqian did not do anything extreme.

Chapter 422 Confirmation of Love

The manifestation potion worked quickly and failed faster, and it didn't do much harm to the Biao people. Si Teng recovered in just half an hour.

"Is it better?"

Li Chengqian touched her forehead and said with concern.

"Yeah, much better; you... aren't you afraid of me, what I did just now?"

The aesthetic taste of the Kar tribe is no different from that of ordinary people, and Si Teng herself thinks that she looks scary after she reveals her true form.

"Why should you be afraid? This isn't the first time I've seen you. After I got you into the car last time, I realized you weren't a normal human being."

"Shouldn't people be afraid of monsters? Xu Xian was so frightened when he saw the White Snake appear."

Well, in addition to "The Peony Pavilion" and "The West Chamber", Si Teng recently heard someone singing "The Legend of White Snake". When she thought of her own identity, she couldn't help but put herself into the story.
