Chapter 581 Just good luck

In recent days, several consecutive incidents have made the atmosphere in the entire Northern King City extremely tense.

Even those people who live at the bottom and rely on selling vegetables and fruits to support their families have noticed it.

Although Zhou Miao asked all shops to raise prices for the city lord's mansion, he did not have such strong requirements for the villagers from outside.

First of all, these people don't have many things in their hands, and the quality is of varying levels. Richer people simply can't see it.

Secondly, even if he made a strong request, would these ordinary people still dare to confront the City Lord's Mansion? This is obviously impossible.

For ordinary people, the city lord is the biggest official they know, and can easily control their life and death. Not to mention selling, even if the other party directly robs them, these people will only consider themselves unlucky.

However, Zhou Miao had long expected that even if the City Lord's Mansion bought all the farm vegetables brought by the villagers, it would only be a temporary relief. This amount of things would not be able to sustain the City Lord's Mansion's daily expenses.

At most, it can only ensure that the people inside will not die of hunger. If you want to be full, don't think about it, because there is no staple food, and you can only drink vegetable soup every day.

Moreover, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity, this kind of life is not a kind of torture for the City Lord's Mansion.

In the city lord's palace, the city lord's face turned green after having eaten green vegetable and radish soup for three days in a row.

The city lord's mansion, which used to be bustling in the past, was also quiet at this time. Because there was no food to eat, everyone was so hungry that they had no strength, their steps were sluggish, and there were stars in their eyes.

"I found it, I found it."

At this time, a man walked in quickly and staggeringly, and then he knelt down on the ground with a "pop" and bowed directly to the city lord.

"What did you find?"

The man climbed up from the ground with difficulty and showed a weak smile to Chengdu, "Mr. City Lord, we finally found out the whereabouts of Lord Zhou Miao. He is now in Wanxiang Trading Company. You have to go now. visit?"

Upon hearing the news, the city lord stood up from the chair in a hurry, but the next second his eyes turned black because he stood up so violently, and he sat back on the chair again.

"Prepare the car. I, the city lord, now, no, go and prepare some food first. I, the city lord, will eat before you go." The city lord said with trembling fingers.

He didn't want to do this, but he was so hungry that he couldn't control it.

As a city lord, he shouldn't have been in such a miserable state, but he was still a father. When the younger daughter was still growing, the eldest son... well, let's not mention it.

"Yes, I will prepare now."

There was a trace of impatience in the man's voice. After all, the reason why Chang Blessing is like this now is all because he offended Wanxiang Trading Company. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, the crisis in the City Lord's Mansion will naturally be resolved.

"Wait a minute." At this time, a fierce look suddenly flashed in the city lord's eyes, "How is that guard?"

As the culprit of all this, the city lord would naturally not be able to let this person go easily.

"According to your instructions, he has been hung on the city wall for three days without food or water. Someone will be arranged to whip him every day."

After hearing this arrangement, the city lord nodded with satisfaction, "Are you dead?"

"There's still one breath left."

This time, the city lord was even more satisfied.

This man caused so much harm to his city lord's mansion. How could he die so easily? At this time, the city lord seemed to have forgotten that the reason why these guards guarding the city gate dared to be so blatant was because of his tacit approval.

But how could the superior admit his mistakes, so the only ones who were wrong were the guards guarding the city gate.

"Take this person with me to Wanxiang Trading Company later and apologize to Master Zhou Miao in person."

Half an hour later, the city lord, who had returned to his normal complexion, got into the carriage that was still prepared, and behind the carriage was dragging a dying man.

At the same time, Jiang Youning and Luo Mian were sitting in the exclusive box of Wanxiang Trading Company, staring at each other.

After a while, Jiang Youning was the first to speak, "What level have you reached in your cultivation?"

Hearing this, Luo Mian glanced at her and said, "You can't see it yourself."

According to what he said, Jiang Youning looked at it carefully and then came up with the answer, "Late Martial Master Realm." It was a little worse than her, but not by much.

"Have you encountered any bottlenecks in your practice recently?"

After hearing this, Luo Mian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Why, have you encountered a bottleneck? Speaking of which, when we first met, my cultivation level was still higher than yours, but now you have surpassed me. , now you should be only one step away from the Martial Saint Realm."

In this regard, Jiang Youning's expression was always calm, and she did not show any pride or complacency. She looked completely unfazed.

"Just good luck."

"Tsk, if you say these words outside, you will definitely be beaten to death." Luo Mian said teasingly while shaking his head.

But it's not wrong to say it's good luck. Jiang Youning's luck is the best he's ever seen. Although it's not pie-in-the-sky, it's still close.

"Tch, if I want to beat you, I'll beat you first." Jiang Youning turned her head to the other side with disdain, "I'm so lucky, and my cultivation level is only a little higher than yours. In comparison, you That’s the one who’s more hated.”

After hearing this, Luo Mian shrugged, "I'm afraid they won't dare to come. Okay, don't change the subject. You just said you encountered a bottleneck, and you still have bottlenecks. Please tell me carefully, and I also It’s good to be prepared in advance.”

After all, the cultivation talents of both of them are of the highest caliber and their cultivation levels are so close. The same bottlenecks that Jiang Youning will encounter are likely to be encountered by Luo Mian in the future.

"It's just...I can't seem to practice anymore."

Jiang Youning opened her mouth and struck directly with five thunderbolts, destroying Luo Mian beyond recognition.

"Are you kidding? Are you really unable to practice? Then you have become a waste!"

Jiang Youning knew from the look on his face that he was wrong. After hearing the word "waste", she picked up the fruit next to her and threw it hard.

"Luo Mian, if you don't want to live anymore, you can just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Hearing this, Luo Mian raised his hands and pretended to surrender. He smiled and said to please, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, isn't it? I was worried about you so I couldn't speak out. You also Really, not funny at all.”

Faced with such an explanation, Jiang Youning only gave him a cold look and a cold "Haha"

Luo Mian didn't care about this, and was as thick-skinned as a city wall.

"So, what's going on?"
