The Ten Shadow Sorcerers of the Nara Clan

"Don't worry about that. I promise to do it." Zhao Xiaolan nodded and smiled secretly. She was Luo Fei's wife. As long as she used her title, no one would dare to say no. Of course, when she was not needed to show up, she would not do it in person. She only needed her subordinates to act in her name and many things could be done easily.

"Okay, I didn't say anything today and I know nothing." After saying that, Luo Fei got up and went upstairs.

Watching Luo Fei get on

On the second floor, Zhao Xiaolan smiled and took out her phone to send a message to Wei Xiaobei to announce the good news...

The next morning, Qiao Liang was lying on a bamboo chair under the shade of a tree by the reservoir, reading "Weakness of Human Nature" given to him by Liao Gufeng, when the deputy director hurried over.

"Boss Qiao, I just received a call from Secretary Lu. He will be accompanying Director Chang of the Water Conservancy Bureau and his party to visit the base and have lunch here. Please arrange for their reception."

Hmm? Qiao Liang sat up. Lu Ping wanted to accompany Chang Dahe to the base and have lunch here. What the hell was that?

"How many people are coming?" Qiao Liang asked.

"I don't know. Secretary Lu only mentioned Director Chang and his group." said the deputy director.

"Well, go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables and make some dishes." Qiao Liang said.

The deputy director shook his head in embarrassment: "Boss Qiao, Secretary Lu said that we want to eat stewed whole lamb for lunch."

"Oh, I want to eat a whole lamb." Qiao Liang said.

"Yes." The deputy director nodded.

Qiao Liang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, call a few workers back, kill a lamb and stew it."

The deputy director breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to go.

Qiao Liang lay down again, looking up at the sky, wondering why Lu Ping came.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, two cars entered the base, the front one belonged to Lu Ping and the back one belonged to Chang Dahe.

After the car stopped, the front door opened, Si Shengjie got out from the passenger seat, and Lu Ping and Luo Yang got out from the back door. Then the back door opened, and Chang Dahe and Tang Xiaofei got out. It turned out that Chang Dahe's so-called group only had the two of them.

At this time, the deputy director of the base and a few people had already killed the sheep, set up a big pot, the water in the pot was boiling, and they were about to start stewing the whole sheep.

Qiao Liang stood in front of the car and greeted them. When Lu Ping saw Qiao Liang, he didn't even raise his eyelids. Instead, Luo Yang and Si Shengjie smiled at Qiao Liang and nodded.

Chang Dahe took the initiative to extend his hand when he saw Qiao Liang, and said with a sleek and sophisticated smile: "Master Qiao... Oh no, Mr. Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I found you here, brother."

Qiao Liang laughed and said, "Yes, Secretary Lu entrusted me with an important task and sent me here to personally oversee the construction of the living base. Today, I heard that you were coming, so I killed a sheep specially."

After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said nothing.

"Hehe..." Chang Dahe looked at Lu Ping, then at Qiao Liang, and laughed dryly.

Then Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xiaofei and smiled: "Chief Tang, welcome to the living base to experience life."

Seeing Qiao Liang at this time, Tang Xiaofei felt very happy. You have always been awesome, but now you have fallen to this point. How can you become awesome again?

"Mr. Qiao, I came here with Director Chang today to have fun, not to experience life." Tang Xiaofei said indifferently.

"Oh, okay, okay, let's play. I wonder how Chief Tang wants to play? Go up the mountain or go into the water? Play alone or with others?" Qiao Liang said.

Tang Xiaofei frowned. Damn, why did what Qiao Liang said sound a bit unkind?

"It's none of your business how we play." Tang Xiaofei said unhappily.

"Okay, it's none of my business. Whether you fall into the water and drown, or fall from the mountain and get hurt, it's none of my business." Qiao Liang said.

Hearing Qiao Liang say this, everyone frowned. Damn, this is so unlucky. This guy's words are really unpleasant.

Then Chang Dahe looked around and said, "The environment here is elegant, the vegetation is lush, and the air is fresh. Let's go hiking."

"Okay." Lu Ping nodded, "Move your body and sweat a little, then come down to drink and eat the whole lamb."

Tang Xiaofei said, "Secretary Lu, in this weather, I like being by the water, but I don't like climbing mountains and sweating."

Lu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll go hiking with Director Chang, and Chief Tang will take a stroll by the reservoir. However, you must be careful, the water in this reservoir is very deep."

Lu Ping already knew that Tang Xiaofei was Luo Fei's niece, so he was particularly warm and caring towards her.

"Okay." Tang Xiaofei nodded.

Then everyone set off. As the vice president in charge of the living base, Qiao Liang subconsciously wanted to follow and take them to climb the mountain.

After walking a few steps, Lu Ping saw Qiao Liang following him, his face pulled, and he said coldly: "Mr. Qiao, we don't need to accompany us when we climb the mountain, you stay and arrange dinner."

After hearing what Lu Ping said, everyone looked at Qiao Liang. In front of the guests, Lu Ping did not give Qiao Liang any face.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Liang was not embarrassed at all, and laughed: "Secretary Lu, are you sure?"

"Nonsense!" Lu Ping glared at Qiao Liang with disgust.

"But..." Qiao Liang was about to say something, but Lu Ping interrupted him rudely, "But you're a ghost, shut up!"

So Qiao Liang shut up.

Lu Ping then said to Chang Dahe: "Let's go, Old Chang——"

Then they left.

Looking at their backs, Qiao Liang showed an unfathomable smile on his face.

Chapter 21 Akatsuki Organization

Some people say that a woman’s marriage is her second life. She had no choice the first time, and she has no choice the second time either.

But I deeply understand the benefits of marrying well. If it were in modern times, I should have married a second-generation official or rich man, just like now. I don’t have to do anything. Cheng Ruohan has arranged everything for me, including when to get married, when to go through the procedures, what to eat, what to use, and who to invite. All I have to do is to arrive on the day.

Of course, Cheng Ruohan may not be very popular, and it seems that there are no guests at our wedding ceremony.

This doesn't affect what I thought of a long time ago.

However, before getting married, both men and women should be honest with each other, and there is one thing that must be made clear.

In the middle of the night, I sneaked through the window into Cheng Ruohan's bedroom. I held up the lamp and pulled my legs down from the window.

"Are you addicted to climbing through windows?"

Scared me!

I had just taken my legs down and hadn't stood firmly yet. I turned around holding the lamp and accidentally hit the window. I rubbed my head and it still hurt.

"It's all your fault. I was scared to death and got a bump on my face."

"Why don't you come in through the front door?"

"It's too ostentatious for Mahakala to enter your bedroom through the front door."

Cheng Ruohan sighed, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and lit a lamp. The dim yellow light shone on his face, looking warm.

You straight man! Your fiancée came to you specially and got a big bump, but you ignored her and went to drink tea. No wonder Lin Musu wanted to break up with you.

I went over and sat at the table, grabbed the cup and drank all the tea in it.

"Why are you looking for me so late at night? Men and women don't usually meet before marriage."

"Then why did you ask me to have lunch with you at noon?"

“But I never believed those claims.”

I rolled my eyes.

Old double standard.

I will make up for it myself.

"Well, I've been thinking about it these past few days, and there are some things I still need to tell you, so -"

I deliberately dragged out the sound to create suspense.

Cheng Ruohan glanced at me and didn't seem to be very interested.

"It's true that what you can't get is always the best. If you want to get married, you won't love me anymore. You're so indifferent to me now!"

"It's so late. If you're here to sleep with me, I should be very interested. If you're here to chat with me, why don't we chat on the bed? I'm very sleepy and I'm going to bed."

Bah! Not serious.

"You don't look like you're going to sleep when you're dressed so neatly!"

Cheng Ruohan was fully clothed, not even taking off his belt.

Cheng Ruohan smiled and looked helpless: "Go ahead." Oh, a little doting.

"We play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser has to answer a question from the other person, and it has to be the truth."

“What is rock paper scissors?”

I held out a fist.

"This is rock. It beats scissors but loses to paper."

I held up five fingers again.

"This is paper. Wins rock, loses scissors."

I held up two more fingers.

I was about to speak when Cheng Ruohan spoke first: "These are scissors."
