Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 666 Seven Thirty Nine:
Not only Chen Mo, but even Wu Mi, Han Anniang and others were a little surprised at this moment, because they didn't get along very well, and they thought Nalan Yiren must be very introverted, but now she actually took the initiative to ask Chen Mo to go out for a walk.

When Xiao Yunxi heard this, she glanced at Nalan Yiren strangely, feeling that something was wrong.

Nalan Yiren was dressed normally today, a blue plaid skirt that looked very plain, but an expert could tell at a glance that the fabric was extremely expensive. Her black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her exposed skin was sickly white. She had two small bamboo cages tied around her waist, and you could vaguely see the poisonous insects inside.

She has a slender figure and a graceful posture. Just by looking at her figure, one can tell that she is not bad looking.

As if she noticed everyone's strange looks, Nalan Yiren said, "I've been in Xiangyang for a few months, but I haven't had a good look around the city yet. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I can't come here for nothing."

That unique smoky voice is quite magnetic.

Hearing this, the surprise on the faces of the girls was much less. In addition, they had taken the anti-aging pills some time ago, so Wu Mi said, "Husband, if you have nothing to do, please accompany Miss Nalan for a walk."

Chen Mo nodded: "I thought Miss Nalan didn't want to go out, so I didn't bother her. Now it seems that I didn't think it through. Since Miss Nalan wants to go shopping, I will naturally do my best to be a good host."

As he said this, he called for the servants to prepare the carriage, but Nalan Yiren waved her hand and refused: "We are just going for a stroll, there is no need to make a scene, and it is not convenient to go around in a carriage."

The implication is naturally walking and strolling.

Chen Mo nodded: "Then let's go."

Nalan Yiren stopped and pointed at the python robe Chen Mo was wearing.

"Then Miss Nalan, please wait a moment." Chen Mo understood that wearing a dragon robe while shopping would indeed attract some attention.

……

At the gate of the palace.

Seeing Chen Mo coming out, Sun Meng came forward and wanted to arrange for his personal soldiers to follow him, but Chen Mo shook his head and asked him to leave.

"Here you go." At this time, Nalan Yiren took out a half-face mask and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo: “Hmm?”

"If you go out shopping with such a face, it won't be long before the streets are crowded with people." Nalan Yiren said lightly.

Chen Mo was stunned. Among the more than two million people in Xiangyang, at least 90% of them knew him and were his "fans". Just imagine the crowded streets on both sides of the city without guards. It was scary to think about it.

"You've thought it through." Chen Mo took the half-face mask. The material looked rough and uneven, but it felt cool and delicate in the hand. He asked curiously, "What is this mask made of?"

"We have a unique shrub in Baiyue. The bark is used to make this product, which is impervious to water and fire." said Nalan Yiren.

Chen Mo nodded and put it on.

At this time he discovered that the half-face mask he wore was for the right side of his face, while Nalan Yiren was wearing the left side.

"It is a complete piece, but it is uncomfortable to wear like that, so I split it into two pieces." Nalan Yiren said.

Chen Mo: "..."

……

On the streets of Xiangyang, merchants from all over the country were walking through the market with mules and horses, and a variety of accents were heard one after another.

Chen Mo walked in front, talking about the local situation with a smile.

The two of them were wearing half masks, which was actually quite eye-catching, but did not attract onlookers.

Nalan Yiren followed behind and walked around, not paying any attention to the looks of others, her mind completely focused on the surrounding buildings.

The poisonous snake in the bamboo cage around its waist poked its head out and looked around curiously, but was quickly flicked on the head by Nalan Yiren and shrank back.

The two walked along a street. In order to fulfill his role as a good host, Chen Mo talked nonstop, but Nalan Yiren didn't respond much. Instead, she kept buying things. They really came out for shopping.

Seeing this, Chen Mo stopped talking and acted as the one who paid.

Fortunately, what Nalan Yiren bought were small things, which were easy to hold and she didn't have to carry a lot of bags.

The afternoon sun was very strong, but with their strength, they were not afraid of the scorching sun.

Nalan Yiren ate the rice cakes she bought and said, "These days, I have finished reading those Three Kingdoms stories you wrote. They are quite interesting, but I don't like reading books when I get so engrossed that I suddenly lose focus. After the Battle of Yiling, did Cao Cao unify the world?"

"..."

It was quite sudden, someone urged me to update my content in person.

Chen Mo paused and glanced at Nalan Yiren: "After the Battle of Yiling, Shu Kingdom was in a state of collapse, and Liu Bei later fell ill in Baidi City.

It is also a pity that Cao Cao did not unify the world, and it was the Sima family who ended the Three Kingdoms and unified the world. "

"Ah?" Nalan Yiren was slightly startled and looked at Chen Mo in confusion: "Why? Don't you want to be the emperor?"

Chen Mo asked curiously, "Whether I want to be the emperor or not, what does it have to do with whether Cao Cao unified the world?"

"Aren't you the prototype of Cao Cao?" Nalan Yiren was even more puzzled and said, "Cao Cao was named King of Wei, and you are also King of Wei. Cao Cao likes women and wives, and you also like women."

Looking at the previous Three Kingdoms stories, Nalan Yiren felt that Chen Mo wrote Cao Cao as if he were himself.

Since I am the protagonist, the ending of the story is that Cao Cao unifies the world and becomes emperor.

Chen Mo's face was filled with black lines: "Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and I am me. Why are you putting me in Cao Cao's shoes? And didn't you see from the storybook that Shu Han is the protagonist, okay?"

"Since Shu Han is the protagonist, why did you write Liu Bei and his brothers so miserably?"

Chen Mo: "..."

What should he say? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Luo Guanzhong, and he just copied it to attract business for Fuze Restaurant.

Moreover, the fall of Shu Han is history. No matter how much Luo Guanzhong favors Shu Han, he cannot fabricate the ending.

He thought for a moment and said, "This is a story, so it naturally has to have twists and turns, and ups and downs, to attract more people to read it. This is not a cool story."

“What is a cool article?”

"It means the protagonist is happy all the way, and the readers are also happy reading it."

"Oh, so the Sima family's unification of the world in the end is also part of the reversal?"

"..."

"You can think of it that way." Never mind, that's it, Chen Mo didn't explain any further.

"By the way, the Sima family you mentioned, is it the Sima Yi family?"

"Ah."

"Isn't he a subordinate of Cao Cao? And Cao Cao is also very wary of him. How can he unify the world?"

"Well, Sima Yi lived too long, and Cao Cao died a long time ago. His few descendants who could suppress Sima Yi also died early. Later, no one could suppress Sima Yi, so the Sima family usurped the foundation of the Wei Kingdom and then unified the world."

"Ah? You also wrote yourself dead?"

"I told you I'm not Cao Cao."

"Then this ending is not good at all. It's so frustrating. Since it's a story, can't there be a different ending?"

"Uh, sure."

Anyway, this is a different world, and Chen Mo can make drastic changes to the ending of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

After talking for a while, the two of them came to Fuze Restaurant. Chen Mo said, "You haven't eaten hot pot since you came to Xiangyang, right? I'll take you to eat it once."

Chen Mo went straight to the shopkeeper, revealed his identity, and sat down in a private room by the window on the second floor.

Because of his obvious identity, Chen Mo served the dishes on this table particularly quickly.

"Can you handle spicy food?" Chen Mo ordered a double-flavored hotpot. After the pot started boiling, he looked up and asked Nalan Yiren while adding the vegetables to the spicy soup.

"good."

"Then I'll put it in the spicy soup." Chen Mo put all the meat and vegetables into the spicy soup.

"Try it, this is a mutton roll. As for beef, there is a shortage of oxen everywhere. Even if there are quotas, the supply is still insufficient." Chen Mo picked up the mutton roll that had been in the spicy soup for less than half a minute and put it into Nalan Yiren's bowl.

"It's cooked already?" Nalan Yiren was stunned. Wasn't it just put into the pot?

"You try it." Chen Mo looked at her with a smile.

Nalan Yiren picked up the mutton roll in the bowl with chopsticks. When she was about to eat, Chen Mo suddenly thought of something: "Wait."

Nalan Yiren was stunned.

Chen Mo picked up the chopsticks, snatched the mutton roll from Nalan Yiren's chopsticks, dipped it in the bowl of sauce, and then handed it to Nalan Yiren's mouth: "I almost forgot to dip it in the sauce. Come on, open your mouth."

Looking at the mutton that was already in her mouth, Nalan Yiren subconsciously opened her mouth, ate it, and then felt a little warmth in her heart. Her parents died early, because they went astray while practicing poison skills, and she was raised by her grandfather.

So in her impression, from childhood to adulthood, only her grandfather fed her.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Chen Mo asked.

She looked at the handsome young man who had taken off his mask and nodded: "It tastes good."

"If it tastes good, eat more." Chen Mo placed the bowl of ingredients in front of Nalan Yiren and said, "Just eat like I did just now."

Having said that, Chen Mo started eating by himself.

He was not in the habit of serving others, and feeding her just now was just a subconscious action, which he would not do all the time.

When Nalan Yiren looked at Chen Mo who was eating happily, her fair face suddenly turned red.

Just now, when Chen Mo was feeding her mutton, he also put the chopsticks into her mouth. Now, watching Chen Mo eating with the chopsticks he used to feed her, and sucking on the chopsticks after eating, even though he put the chopsticks into the spicy soup to pick up the meat after feeding her, she still felt inexplicably ashamed in her heart.

"Is it very spicy? Why is your face so red?" Chen Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Nalan Yiren.

The Nalanyi people have very white skin, the kind of sickly white, so the slightest change is very obvious.

"Yes, a little bit." Nalan Yiren took a deep breath deliberately.

"If it's very spicy, you can rinse it in white soup before eating." Chen Mo taught her.

"Ah."

"Have the helpers you called arrived? After returning to Beijing, we have to go to the Western Regions." Chen Mo still remembered that she said to write a letter to the Poison King Valley and ask the masters of the Poison King Valley to come and help her.

"He has arrived in Tianchuan. He is the grand elder of the Poison King Valley." Nalan Yiren replied.

"Great Elder, are you very powerful?"

"He is above me and is also my grandfather's friend regardless of age difference. When my grandfather was murdered, he did not kill the beast on the spot to avenge him. He has always felt guilty. This time, after hearing about the beast, he came here in person."

"Above you, the second level of divine transformation?"

"Third rank, the Great Elder's poison skill is at the eighth level, and I have only cultivated to the seventh level."

Chen Mo didn't know how powerful the other party's poison skills were, so he said, "Tang Yichen was able to escape when he was besieged by the three elders in your valley. Doesn't that mean his poison skills are even better than the first elder's?"

Nalan Yiren nodded: "Although this man is an ungrateful beast, it must be said that he has excellent talent. Grandpa and the three elders once praised him, saying that he is likely to cultivate to the tenth level of poison skills, which is the last level. When he killed grandpa, he had already cultivated to the eighth level."

"Then can you and the Great Elder be his opponent?"

"He is just good at poison skills. When he left the valley, his cultivation level was only fourth level. He was lucky enough to break through to the upper third level in recent years. But he is definitely not my opponent. Besides, I have the Taogui Gu to protect me and I am immune to all poisons. I am not afraid of his poison skills." Nalan Yiren said confidently.

When she said this, she became very angry.

If Grandpa had not trusted him very much at that time, and treated him almost as his own son, and had not been on guard against him, how could Grandpa, with his strength of the upper third rank at that time, have fallen into the hands of that beast.

"Fourth rank? What about the strength of the three elders in your valley?"

"It's also fourth grade." I don't know if she felt that Chen Mo was trustworthy, Nalan Yiren said it directly.

Chen Mo was surprised by this, but also felt that he was in the process of clearing up. After all, if these three elders were all top-three masters, they would not be limited to Baiyue.

As for the so-called non-interference in outside affairs, just listen to this nonsense.

Switzerland also claims that it is a permanently neutral country.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "If you need help, just ask."

Before, Chen Mo said that he would only help find people, and would not arrest or kill anyone.

That was when we didn't know each other well.

Now Nalan Yi has been living in the Prince of Wei's mansion for several months and has become familiar with the place.

Nalan Yiren was startled and blinked her eyes: "Don't think about the Taoji Gu. I told you before that it would be useless even if I gave it to you."

She felt that Chen Mo must have other intentions when he said this.

"What are you thinking? We have been together for so long that we can be considered friends. Between friends, what's wrong with me helping you?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Nalan Yiren stared at Chen Mo for a long time, then said, "Thank you, but I want to avenge my grandfather myself."

"Ah."

The topic was too serious and we soon moved on to other subjects.

Nalan Yiren was obviously a little unconvinced: "Cao Cao was really not written based on you? There is a Bronze Sparrow Tower in the Three Kingdoms, and you have a Bronze Sparrow Garden in Xiangyang. The similarity is too high."

"I've already told you it's not true. What do you have to say to make you believe it?" Chen Mo was speechless.

"I won't laugh at you. It's okay if you admit it." Nalan Yiren said.

Chen Mo shut up and ate the hot pot quietly.

Less than half an hour later.

"Did you enjoy your meal?" Chen Mo put down his chopsticks and asked Nalan Yiren.

Seeing her nod, Chen Mo burped and stood up, saying, "Let's go, while it's still early, let's go shopping for a while."

Just when Chen Mo turned around to open the door of the private room.

"Wait." Nalan Yiren said.

"what happened?"

Chen Mo turned around and saw Nalan Yiren taking off the mask on her face.
