Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Dan Heng Drinks the Moon, Gu Yuena Pursues Him

Chapter 85 Qian Renxue's Relief!

Dan Heng had just returned home when he talked to Gu Yuena about work.

There was a knock on the door.

He turned around to look, just as Zhu Zhuqing went to open the door.

The person outside the door was "Xue Qinghe," who was carrying some ingredients and a pork chop.

"Mr. Danheng, I apologize for the uninvited visit..."

Xue Qinghe gave an awkward smile.

Here, she can taste her mother's cooking, and her mind and body can relax.

After leaving the palace, this place was all she could think about.

And so, as if by some strange twist of fate, it really happened.

Dan Heng nodded slightly. Since they had come all the way here and even brought their own ingredients, he didn't have much to say.

Zi Ji strode up to "Xue Qinghe", snatched the pork chop from him, licked her lips, and looked at Dan Heng with anticipation.

"Brother-in-law, let's have pork ribs tonight!"

Dan Heng nodded slightly. There were just enough ingredients for a meal!

Despite the fact that the family consists entirely of women besides him, Gu Yuena and Zi Ji have enormous appetites.

Four or five ordinary men might not be able to defeat the two of them.

"I'll help your brother-in-law!" Zi Ji said with a chuckle.

Ever since she had that so-called "feast" in Xingluo City, she has preferred Danheng's food.

Dan Heng hummed in agreement and led her to the kitchen.

Xue Qinghe originally intended to go along as well, but Gu Yuena said, "Your Highness is of noble birth, it would be better if you did not go to the kitchen."

Xue Qinghe was about to wave his hand to refuse, but Gu Yuena's look extinguished his idea.

Looking at Gu Yuena's stunning beauty, Xue Qinghe felt a pang of doubt.

Why would someone who is clearly a stunning beauty make herself feel threatened?

Confused, she followed Gu Yuena to the lobby.

Now it's just the two of them.

Gu Yuena looked Xue Qinghe up and down. She knew that the other party was a woman, but she could only guess that she was most likely from the Spirit Hall.

But she had no idea what to do with this secret.

"Your Highness, my husband is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't like to show off. He is easily bullied and his credit is stolen... Although he doesn't care about these things, I, as his wife, cannot watch him be bullied."

"Your Highness, can you understand the plight of a wife?"

Gu Yuena sighed and asked.

Xue Qinghe was slightly taken aback. She had originally thought that the Danheng family did not care about material possessions.

But now it seems that Gu Yuena is unwilling to let Danheng remain just a hermit.

She nodded and said earnestly, "I will always remember Mr. Danheng's contributions. If Danheng intends to serve in the court, I will do my best to recommend him..."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and chatted with her for a while longer.

Finally, he instructed Xue Qinghe not to tell Dan Heng about this matter.

……

Before long, the food was ready and served.

A table full of delicious dishes, steaming and fragrant.

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji were both incredibly fast at picking up food; their chopsticks were practically blurry.

"Mr. Danheng, what do you think the Heavenly Dou Empire should do?"

Xue Qinghe asked vaguely while biting into a rib.

Although she didn't think there was a better way, asking would be a good idea.

Danheng thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.

But if I tell the other party, won't that just cause trouble for myself?

Thinking of this, he decided not to tell anyone else.

Xue Qinghe had been watching Dan Heng closely, and upon seeing the change in his expression, he immediately knew that Dan Heng truly had something in mind.

"Mr. Danheng, please rest assured, even for the sake of these ribs, I won't tell you anything. To be frank, I... I actually want to take credit for your work."

"Xue Qinghe," Qian said with a smile.

In fact, she and Prince Snowstar had already done so.

It's a bit embarrassing to still come here and freeload a meal.

Dan Heng nodded slightly and said, "Then just do it that way, don't mention me, and definitely don't mention me at all. That way, I can offer you some advice..."

Xue Qinghe nodded repeatedly and said earnestly, "Mr. Danheng, rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise! So, what are your thoughts?"

Xue Qinghe pondered deeply last night and came up with many ideas, but she rejected them all one by one.

She had to strike a balance, allowing the Heaven Dou Empire to "get what it wanted" without truly harming the interests of the Spirit Hall.

Unfortunately, she never found a way to satisfy both sides.

Dan Heng paused for a moment, then spoke:

"The Heaven Dou Empire doesn't want to break ties with the Spirit Hall, nor does it want the nobles to retaliate... So let's start with the problem itself, using the guise of gratitude to cover up our true intentions... the Order of Grace."

"The territories governed by the princes and nobles, which were originally inherited only by their eldest sons, were now jointly inherited by their eldest, second, and third sons."

"As fiefdoms are divided into smaller and smaller ones, the Heavenly Dou Empire can take the opportunity to participate and make its own plans."

Dan Heng spoke casually, without much thought.

At first, Xue Qinghe didn't understand why Dan Heng had given such a solution.

But soon, she realized how terrifying this open conspiracy was!

When nobles only have a county or even a village as their fiefdom, aren't they at the mercy of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

At that time, whether through coercion or enticement, those minor nobles can be persuaded to willingly give up their fiefdoms.

In this process, the Heaven Dou Empire, as the arbitrator, could have reduced the Spirit Hall's "tentacles" during the investiture process!

She stood up abruptly, staring at Dan Heng in disbelief.

"Mr. Danheng...you, you are truly a genius!"

The more Xue Qinghe thought about it, the more terrifying the plan seemed.

This is a well-laid plan that perfectly avoids the pitfalls of all three parties, yet still achieves the goals of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

In the end, the Heavenly Dou Empire may even reclaim all its fiefdoms!

In his shock, Xue Qinghe even lost his appetite.

After finishing her bowl of rice, she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

……

Nighttime, on the city wall of Tiandou City.

Two figures suddenly appeared, one in yellow and one in black.

They were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had come from Wuhun City with the order to hunt down Dan Heng.

"Old Ghost, the people in that small town are saying that Dan Heng left with someone. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Crown Prince of Tian Dou. He's a troublesome figure; we can't show ourselves easily..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Ghost Douluo beside him, his eyes filled with a profound meaning.

Ghost Douluo was completely shrouded in black mist, making it impossible for ordinary people to see his true form.

His hoarse voice came from within the black mist.

"I understand, I'll follow him..."

"Then I'll trouble you, haha. In the meantime, I'd like to go and see if there are any cute flowers."

Ju Douluo's voice was soft and gentle, and when she mentioned the flower, a happy smile appeared on her face.

He doesn't look like a normal person; he looks more like a psychopath.

Neither of them knew Xue Qinghe's true identity.

With a flash, the two split up and went their separate ways.
