Chapter 992: Black beads

Shaowei Mansion stood quietly in the imperial city, without disturbing anyone. Chen Yang didn't have any guests at the big banquet, but the strange thing was that on the day when the mansion was opened, many dignitaries came to give gifts.
Naturally, Lan Tianji and Wei Wuji would not come. It's the Wen waiter inside sent a gift.
These high-ranking officials sent people to give gifts and left without leaving for dinner. In the evening, Chen Yang counted the gifts, and these gifts were really valuable.
Qiao Ning said with a smile: "The emperor has a vague attitude towards you, but these high-ranking nobles will not easily make enemies. Gifts represent a kind of heart, and everyone is willing to sell it. If the emperor does not use you in the future, then count. If you become popular, everyone will have a friendship in front."
Chen Yang also understands this principle. He smiled and said, "I'm a foolish man, but I didn't expect that I would still be an official in this life."
In fact, Chen Yang knows a lot of truths, and he is very proficient in formations, Zhouyi's Eight Diagrams, etc. He knew the geometric equations of the formation at his fingertips. But in reality, he is absolutely dumbfounded to give him the equation to solve.
In the great world, the age of technology. Pay attention to modern high-tech talents, especially in the appointment of officials, academic qualifications are an absolute evaluation index. With Chen Yang's degree, it is impossible to be an official. Under troubled times, it is still possible.
So at this moment, Chen Yang is still somewhat emotional.
In the evening, the butler Lin Bo counted all the gifts, put them in a book, and then gave them to Chen Yang for viewing. At the same time, Lin Bo arranged for two maids to take care of Chen Yang and Qiao Ning. They are Biyue and Bitao. Biyue serves Chen Yang, and Bitao serves Qiao Ning.
Chen Yang chose two particularly good bedrooms for himself and Qiao Ning. With such a decoration, Qiao Ning somewhat liked Shaowei Mansion.
Qiao Ning said: "I have my own cave mansion on Binghu Island, but there are only two of me and Mingyue girl. After Mingyue girl's death, I will be alone. There is no fun in your Shaowei mansion."
Chen Yang was startled slightly, and then said, "Are you sad after Mingyue's death?"
Qiao Ning's face sank, and she said, "Mingyue has followed me since I was a child, and her death was a big shock to me."
Chen Yang said, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Ning looked at Chen Yang and said, "Why do you want to say sorry? I don't believe that your character will kill Mingyue."
Chen Yang said: "Mingyue was indeed not killed by me, but at the time, I could save Mingyue. It's just that I was greedy for your thunder talisman, so I watched Ling Kun kill Mingyue. Miss Qiao. , I'm sorry, if it is now, I will desperately protect the moon."
"Don't blame you." Qiao Ning said: "I didn't know you at the time. It was normal. You owe nothing to me, nor Mingyue. It's just that I owe Mingyue."
"Then Ling Kun has been killed by me." Chen Yang said.
"I know." Qiao Ning said.
Chen Yang suddenly said, "Miss Joe, can you promise me one thing?"
Qiao Ning looked at Chen Yang strangely and said, "What?"
Chen Yang said: "Don't die, I can no longer accept that the people around me leave me." When he said this, a look of sorrow flashed in his eyes.
Ling'er's accident, Chen Feirong's death, and Luo Ning's death all deeply made Chen Yang feel sad, and felt that this fate was too sad.
Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask in his heart: "My luck is really good? My father killed my mother. What is the truth? The people I love, the people who love me die, the wounded, this What is it for?"
Qiao Ning was stunned. For a moment, the softest thing in her heart was touched by Chen Yang's words. She saw Chen Yang's injury and pain with her own eyes, so she deeply understood the meaning of Chen Yang's words.
"Okay!" Qiao Ning smiled lightly and said: "I promise you."
Chen Yang also smiled and said, "A word is a deal."
"A word is settled!"
In the middle of the night, Shaowei Mansion welcomed a special guest. This person is not someone else, but the long-lost Nie Meiniang.
Nie Meiniang was dressed in black, and she was a lot haggard.
Chen Yang met Nie Meiniang in the study. Nie Meiniang was very quiet and spoke very little. Chen Yang asked Biyue to make hot tea.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yang asked softly.
Nie Meiniang looked up at Chen Yang. She said, "The son-in-law was punished by Lord Hou and detained. He must not leave Si Guo Tang for three years."
Chen Yang was startled, then smiled again, and said, "This is good news."
Nie Meiniang also smiled, but she didn't say much.
Chen Yang said again: "Do you plan to stay in Hou Mansion forever?"
Nie Meiniang said, "There is no second way to go, right?" She paused, and said, "You are also a life of nine deaths this time. I don't have such good luck as you. If I leave the Hou Mansion, it will be a dead end. ."
Chen Yang remained silent. He really couldn't accept Nie Meiniang to Shaowei Mansion. Because Nie Meiniang is indeed a member of the Hou Mansion, the man from the Hou Mansion came to Shaowei Mansion, is this possible? Lan Tianji could justly intervene or kill Nie Meiniang.
Chen Yang said, "Then you come to Shaowei Mansion tonight, will it cause you trouble?"
Nie Meiniang said: "It doesn't matter, the big deal is death! But you opened the mansion today, and as a friend, how come I have to come and see if it is not."
Chen Yang said sincerely: "Thank you!" He paused, and then said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely rescue you from the Hou Mansion. Only then, I don't know if you are willing to leave the Hou Mansion."
Nie Meiniang looked at Chen Yang in a daze, and she said, "Why do you treat me so well?"
Chen Yang said, "Apart from being friends, is there any other explanation?"
Nie Meiniang smiled and said, "Yes, there is no other explanation." She paused and said, "I brought you a gift." She said that and took out a small brocade box.
Chen Yang took it. He was a little confused and said, "What is it?"
Nie Meiniang said, "After I'm gone, you can watch it again."
Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Okay!"
Nie Meiniang said again: "I know that Lord Master is not a good person. He treats me and never treats me as a real person. At most it is a tool. If you use it well, you can make him smile. It's not going well, you can throw it away at any time."
Chen Yang couldn't help but wonder, and said: "Since you understand, why do you want to...?"
"My life was given by the son." Nie Meiniang said: "My family was murdered by an enemy. It was the son who saved me and avenged me. My life is not my own. I can only repay my son-in-law with death."
Chen Yang remained silent.
Everyone has their own rules of life, and he can't say that Nie Meiniang is wrong.
Subsequently, Nie Meiniang left.
Chen Yang opened the brocade box Nie Meiniang gave, but inside it was a black bead, only half the size of an egg. The black beads are extremely round.
The black beads are completely black. Chen Yang couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is this?
He held the black bead in his hand and looked at it for a moment, but he couldn't feel anything. Moreover, even the mana cannot penetrate.
"Damn, what the hell?" Chen Yang was surprised.
Even if it is a diamond, Chen Yang's mana can penetrate in and instantly decompose the molecules inside.
Sometimes, encounter a powerful magic weapon. There will be forces inside to exclude Chen Yang's mana. But like the one in front of me, it's a bit weird that I can't get in directly.
Chen Yang was so curious that he wanted to go to Nie Meiniang to inquire about it. What exactly is this black bead? But he is not good to ask, because Nie Meiniang's identity is too sensitive.
Chen Yang naturally knew that the black beads were not ordinary products. He thought about it, and it was not early tonight, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
The next morning, Chen Yang showed Qiao Ning the black beads.
Qiao Ning also faced the same embarrassment, even her mana could not penetrate.
Qiao Ning said: "I don't know what the structure of this black bead is. It's very peculiar. I have never seen it before. However, Tianchi Pavilion is powerful, you can ask Tianchi Pavilion."
Chen Yang said, "Tianchi Pavilion is very greedy. If this black bead is really a treasure, they must find a way to get it away for me."
Qiao Ning said, "You can find Su Yanran as a friend."
Chen Yang thought about it, and said, "That's right, I'll go to Su Yanran."
Just when Chen Yang was about to leave Shaowei Mansion, an came over quickly. After the arrived, he broke into the Shaowei Mansion all the way. The family of Shaowei Mansion didn't dare to stop it.
"The decree is here, General Shaowei will come out quickly to take the decree!" After the came in, he shouted.
This was not the last eunuch, and Chen Yang did not know him.
However, Chen Yang did not dare to neglect the imperial edict. In this case, Qiao Ning would not come out. She didn't like to kowtow to anyone, including the emperor.
Chen Yang led a group of housekeepers, butlers, etc., knelt down to take orders.
The unfolded the imperial decree and said: "The emperor's emperor said. I heard that the locust plague occurred in Linxi County. The victims were everywhere, and the people were not living. Another took the opportunity to cause chaos, bewitching the victims, gathering gangsters, and intending to oppose me. If you can't bear it, I ordered General Shaowei Chen Yang, and Major General Lan Tingyu from Zhenyuan immediately went to the Ministry of War to lead the soldiers, and escorted grain, grass and silver to Linxi County for disaster relief and peace.
Chen Yang said: "The minister takes the order!"
Afterwards, Chen Yang accepted the imperial edict, and the didn't say much, and left immediately.
After the was gone, Qiao Ning came out immediately.
Chen Yang waved his hand to let the crowd disperse. He said to Qiao Ning a little depressed, "You heard it just now."
Qiao Ning said: "That's right."
Chen Yang said: "The emperor asked me and Lan Tingyu to go to disaster relief and calm the chaos. What does this mean? Doesn't he know that I and Lan Tingyu are not in harmony?"
Qiao Ning said: "This is the emperor who is testing you and giving you pressure. If this time, Lan Tingyu completely overwhelms you, or you overwhelm Lan Tingyu. Both of you will be very uncomfortable. As for the result, just It depends on your abilities."
