Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"How is it? What kind of signature is it?"

Gu Simiao asked softly.

Li Banxian put down the wooden sign, then pointed to the small words on the wooden sign: "Miss, please read."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao pulled it over without hesitation, took a closer look, and immediately saw two lines of small words written on the wooden sign.

"Hold your hand and grow old together with me."

She muttered silently, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. For a moment, her cold eyes became completely bright and charming, which was very different from the cold and arrogant nature of the past.

Li Banxian couldn't help but be stunned.

"Oh? Sign it."

Lu Chen also noticed the signature and immediately smiled.

"It seems that I want to congratulate Miss Gu in advance. She will marry the person of her dreams soon and live a long life together."

He doesn't know much about interpreting signatures, but any normal person can understand such a straightforward signature.

As soon as these words came out, Li Banxian looked over immediately, with something strange in his eyes.

The joy in Gu Simiao's eyes faded a little.

"Taoist Priest, what's the meaning of this sign?"

Although she knew that this sign was a lucky sign, she still asked it deliberately and pretended to ask for answers.

Li Banxian was speechless.

However, she patiently explained: "Girl, what you are seeking is marriage. Just as the young master said, this lot is the top lot. Girl, you will get married to your sweetheart in the near future, and we will live in love with each other for a lifetime." .”

Hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Simiao's face.

"Then I accept your good advice."

With that said, she reached into her arms, took out twenty grain silvers from her arms, threw them directly on the stall, and then pulled Lu Chen away.

Neither did he test Daochang Li's authenticity, nor did he worry about how genuine the signature was.

It seems that all she wants is a signature.

Watching the two people leaving, Li Banxian picked up the silver on the table in a daze.

Is this the end?

Is it so easy to make money?

I have prepared so many excuses, but all my efforts have been in vain?

But seeing that someone was really willing to spend so much money to tell fortunes, some people around who were just watching the fun, especially those who had some spare money or were not short of money, hesitated for a while and joined in.

They felt that this Li Banxian might really be a capable person, so they would give her a try first.

Anyway, she also said that there is no guarantee that there will be no money.

"Taoist Priest, help me calculate my fortune this year."

"Taoist Priest, help me figure it out first."

"."

Seeing such an outrageous price and someone actually coming to ask for fortune telling, Li Banxian suddenly felt dumbfounded.

However, she did not use her new fame to make money. Instead, she suddenly reached out her hand, gathered the fortune-telling flags neatly and neatly, and cleaned up the stall in the blink of an eye.

"Today's fate has ended. Please come back another day."

Saying that, before everyone could react, she picked up the guy, turned around and ran away, leaving everyone confused.

Damn it, does this guy even make money?

Li Banxian came to a deserted alley, then threw away the guy who was eating, clasped his hands together, and quickly performed a few seals.

The next second, along with a special wave of spiritual power, a milky white light suddenly emerged from her body, covering her whole body in an instant.

When the glory dissipated, her appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally rough skin became extremely delicate, and the bags under the eyes quickly disappeared. The image of the middle-aged Taoist nun with kind eyebrows and kind eyes continued to disappear visibly to the naked eye, and was replaced by a delicate and pretty face.

A young woman who looked to be in her twenties.

It was Gu Simiao's favorite general, Cang Yue.

"How is it? Cang Yue."

The air behind him suddenly shook, and a woman's voice sounded again.

"What was the general's reaction?"

However, Su Yingyue and others took off their disguises, came over, and asked about the situation rather eagerly.

Although they have extraordinary skills, they don't have Cang Yue's superb camouflage skills, and Gu Simiao is extremely strong and can easily sense the strangeness around her. The difference in strength between them is too great. No matter how much they care, He didn't dare to get too close to his general's emotional affairs.

Otherwise, it is very likely to be self-defeating and make the general unhappy.

Cang Yue thought for a while and then gave an ambiguous answer.

"I should be happy."

Hearing this, everyone was suddenly confused.

If you're happy, you're happy. If you don't react, you don't react. What the hell is this considered happy?

Que Yue on the side pursed her lips and asked, "Has the General and Master Lu made any progress?"

This actually confused Cang Yue.

She carefully recalled the reactions of Lu Chen and Gu Simiao when they learned about the signing. She thought about it for a while. It was not until everyone urged her again that she responded in frustration: "Well, Mr. Lu just congratulated you." The general is able to find a husband of his choice. Judging from the way he looks, he must be so natural."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Master Qian Lu really doesn't have the slightest interest in their general.

Poor general.

A powerful person in the Guiyi Realm, second only to the Holy King of the Four Realms, a peerless person who is rare to meet in a thousand years, actually has unrequited love.

"What should I do..."

Su Yingyue rubbed her temples with a headache.

Cang Yue was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said slowly:

"Through the observations just now, I can confirm that the general is focused on Mr. Lu, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yingyue frowned, took over the conversation and said, "Is it really necessary to use that?"

Cang Yue nodded.

"If there is no other way in the end."

After the words fell, everyone's faces showed inexplicable hesitation.

"But if the general takes the blame afterwards..."

Cang Yue responded without hesitation: "All the consequences will be borne by me alone. If the general wants to blame me, just blame me. As long as the general can help Mr. Lu achieve righteousness, everything will be worth it."

After hearing this, everyone was in awe.

For the sake of the general, he actually did this...

Su Yingyue shook her head and said nothing more.

Although I don’t know what it is about Mr. Lu that makes their general so fascinated that he even puts aside the most basic pursuit of a cultivator, but now that Gu Simiao has identified Lu Chen, in order to repay Gu Simiao for his kindness, , they must fulfill Gu Simiao no matter what.

If Cang Yue is like this, why are they, the female generals promoted by Gu Simiao, not like this?

After a while, determination gradually appeared on everyone's faces.

Even if Lu Chen was really a piece of rotten wood, they still had to get him to wake up.

Even if...he uses some extraordinary means, he won't hesitate.

"In that case, let's start preparing for the next plan."

Su Yingyue said in a deep voice.

"Cang Yue, now you are the only one who can conceal your identity and approach the General and Mr. Lu. You must invite the General and Mr. Lu to receive them later. We will arrange the rest in advance to ensure that tonight, the whole Xingping The county won’t have a second room available.”

Cang Yue nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not show any signs of betrayal."

While Gu Simiao's good subordinates were constantly planning, Lu Chen and Gu Simiao were enjoying a rare peaceful time, walking side by side through the bustling streets and alleys of Xingping County.

The request for autographs just now was just a small episode. Gu Simiao didn't mention it again, so Lu Chen naturally didn't talk much.

Since Xingping County is Lu Chen's fiefdom, and Lu Chen's name and deeds of being upright and upright have been widely spread through the efforts of some people, many quick-thinking people, such as merchants, have realized that This rare good official is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for them.

As the saying goes, one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Although he has no access to Lu Chen, his fiefdom must be protected by the most popular man of the day. Doing business here will definitely be good.

What's more, Xingping County was originally the throat of Shuntian Prefecture, with extremely convenient transportation. Therefore, this already prosperous land has undergone earth-shaking changes almost every month in the past year.

The population, in particular, has experienced explosive growth.

Businessmen from all over the world gathered here and interacted with each other. At the same time, the economy of Xingping County, which had undergone tax reform as a pilot of the New Deal, continued to break new highs. Last year, it directly overtook Taihe County, which had suddenly emerged, and became the first in Shuntian Prefecture. A tax-rich county.

Lu Chen was not directly involved in all this, it was purely the changes brought about by his name.

His current influence is so terrifying.

At this time, Lu Chen and Gu Simiao were strolling to a stone arch bridge.

"Huaiyu."

Gu Simiao picked up an exquisite hand-carved wooden hairpin from a stall nearby where she bought ordinary jewelry, inserted it into her hair, and then asked Lu Chen, "Does it look good?"

Lu Chen glanced away.

"Well, it looks good and suits you well."

The stall owner also hurriedly echoed: "Young master, you are too humble. Madam Ling is already extremely beautiful. Wearing this hairpin makes her look like a goddess descending to earth. She is not afraid of the young master's jokes. I have never seen such a beautiful lady like you." She is a suffocating woman, and when Mrs. Cai put on the hairpin, everyone around her was stunned, as if they had lost their souls."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be speechless.

He has heard the word "honored lady" no less than ten times today.

Almost every time he spoke to someone, the other person would mistakenly think that he and Gu Simiao were a couple. He would explain a few words at first, but he got tired of talking too much, and Gu Simiao didn't explain even once, as if he didn't care. appearance.

He didn't care about a big girl, so he didn't bother to be pretentious.

Anyway, if you are misunderstood, you won't lose a piece of meat, so let them go.

Gu Simiao's eyebrows curved slightly, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"I want this hairpin, how much does it cost?"

The stall owner rubbed his hands.

"Chenghui, thirty cents."

Gu Simiao nodded, then put her hand into her arms, looking ready to pay.

However, the next second, she suddenly frowned and looked embarrassed.

Noticing the difference in her expression, Lu Chen directly asked: "What's wrong?"

Gu Simiao turned her head and looked at Lu Chen. At the same time, she took out an exquisite money bag from her arms, opened it, turned it over, and shook it gently.

"The money I took with me when I left the carriage just now has been used up."

But not a single copper plate fell from the purse.

Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly.

Just now, she arrogantly gave twenty taels of silver to Li Banxian, who was immediately aware that he was a liar. When he went shopping, he also bought a lot of rouge, gouache, etc. money.

Is this the result?

Shaking his head, Lu Chen shook away the distracting thoughts in his mind, then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to Gu Simiao.

"Here, take it."

"Thanks."

Gu Simiao took the broken silver, but did not give it to the stall owner immediately. Instead, she said meaningfully: "I will return it to you when I get back to the carriage later."

Lu Chen waved his hand: "It's just a few pieces of broken silver, there's no need to worry about it."

Gu Simiao narrowed her eyes: "You don't have to pay it back?"

"Need not."

After receiving a positive answer, she immediately handed the broken silver to the stall owner.

"Then this hairpin is equivalent to being given to me by Huaiyu."

Lu Chen shrugged.

"Yeah, I gave it to you."

The corners of Gu Simiao's mouth raised slightly, and a touching smile gradually appeared on her beautiful little face.
