Standing solemnly in front of a basin of clear water, Zhuge Qing respectfully said to the gray-haired girl reflected in the basin: "Welcome to Master."

"Stop talking." The girl's voice was still as old as the old woman: "You should have just arrived in Kangda today, why are you so anxious to find Ai's family?"

Zhuge Qing said respectfully: "Report to Master, Kangda's situation is more serious than his disciples' speculations. After Wu Mian came to Langzhou, he seemed to be frightened by Kangda's seriousness and did not dare to take action. He did not change any government orders, so that Kong Wenxuan's luck could not be integrated into Langzhou. The only strategy to attract food was to wait for Kong Wenxuan's promise after three days."

The girl said lightly: "There is no hurry to do this, the situation is right now."

Zhuge Qing was slightly stunned: "But the people of Langzhou..."

The indifferent and indifferent look of the girl reflected in the basin made Zhuge Qing not continue. She just asked after a moment of silence: "The disciple has asked someone to take the remains of his senior brother. In a few days, Princess Yingyue will also come to Langzhou. At that time, she should be the presidency of the rain prayer ritual."

"Princess Yingyue? The most favored little girl in the Song family now? She is indeed the best candidate to host the rain prayer ritual."

The girl's cold eyes seemed to have changed, but it was extremely subtle, and no one could understand what the eyes contained.

"Let's talk about Wu Mian again. Can you lead him to make some decisions?"

After Zhuge Qing was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It can, but it's difficult."

The girl wondered: "Didn't you say he is just a descendant of a small doctor? With your ability, can't you control a teenage country kid?"

Zhuge Qing sighed: "Although he claims to be a descendant of a small doctor in Shanbei, looking at his decisions and actions after coming to Langzhou, it can be seen that he is calm and decisive in his nature and long-term insights do not look like he is from the countryside. Even those noble families in the capital are afraid that few of them can have his courage and strategy."

This time it was changed to the girl's silence. After a while, he said: "Liu Yunxiao's lineage is really lucky. There is Kong Wenxuan who is destined to be, and Zhou Changsheng who has a ravine in his chest. Now there is a Wu Mian... But it's only been happening in the past few years, and he can't make any noise."

"Is there anything else?"

Zhuge Qing immediately bowed and asked, "Disciple wants to ask if creating the locust king will have an impact on the situation in Langzhou? What feedback will be on Kong Wenxuan and Wu Mian?"

"Make a Locust King?" The girl frowned for a moment and said lightly: "Whether there is a Locust King? This locust plague has been completed. Even if they use the Locust King to control the locusts, it will be useless. As for those two, it is now a period of great disaster, and even if their luck backfires, it will not happen. They will have to wait until the catastrophe ends."

"If they win, their luck will rise sharply, and their backlash will be like a mosquito bite. It's not worth mentioning. If they lose, everything will be over before their luck will be backlash."

Zhuge Qing had a little expectation in her tone: "That means, can she create a locust king?"

The girl reflected in the basin stared at Zhuge Qing coldly for a moment, and said lightly: "Yes."

As her words fell, the clear water in the basin shone out, and her image slowly disappeared in the swaying light.

Zhuge Qing kept bowing for a moment and sighed.

……………………

Seeing the girl in the bronze mirror disappear with the faint light like water waves, Wu Mian placed the bronze mirror on her chest and only lifted the quilt that made him feel stuffy after a long time.

"This old man Zhuge has a high opinion of me... Isn't this a matter of course? With the speed of information intake in this era, the old scholar who has been reading for a lifetime may not be as knowledgeable as a primary school student in his previous life. And the growth of a person depends on enough information and enough knowledge to fill his brain and establish his three views. How could I really be like a country master from the modern times?"

"I don't say anything else, at least I graduated from a first-class university, and I am a liberal arts. I have to memorize it no matter how much I don't like the political economy. Even if I can't use that knowledge later, I gradually forget it. The corresponding theories contained in it have long been imprinted in my thinking, so that I can see farther and more than ordinary people in this world."

"I was an adult in my previous life and worked as a planner in a game company. I have learned to make a decision long ago... Strategy and courage are nothing more than just making a decision with reasonable application of knowledge..."

After shaking his head to position himself, Wu Mian no longer thought more when he acted like a country master. After all, if he wanted to disguise Kong Wenxuan and play a magistrate, he could never continue to be like a country master.

When he made the decision to attract grain in Hewei Town, Dagui County, he no longer cared whether others would see this.

Sometimes, showing some abnormalities can make people pay more attention to and worry about it.

It's okay to be in Changshang. The students in the North Court were all involved. They were simple-minded and could pretend to be stupid and even pretend to be a pig or a tiger. In Langzhou, he was already weak in facing all officials in Langzhou alone, and Zhuge Qing was mysterious and had no other thoughts. He couldn't, and he didn't dare to pretend to be too ignorant.

A good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden!

The same applies to changing this good to stupidity.

Once you give people the impression of being stupid, all kinds of small thoughts will come to you automatically, which is hard to be guarded and annoying, especially in the officialdom.

Wu Mian doesn't like being beaten up by others.

Isn’t that a loss of modern people and the face of time travelers?

After waiting for a while, Wu Mian, who saw that the bronze mirror was no longer moving, knew that Zhuge Qing would not have any more movement in a short period of time, so she closed her eyes.

He still needs to play Kong Wenxuan tomorrow and needs to do a lot of things, so now he needs to rest better and make himself more energetic the next day.

...

The still noisy locusts cried, and the watch was "slap" sounded.

Wu Mian, who opened his eyes suddenly, quickly woke up his mind, then turned off the alarm clock silently, got up to wash, and then walked out of the room.

Looking at the slightly white sky, Wu Mian narrowed his eyes and walked to the next room and knocked on the door.

After a moment, Zhuge Qing, who had a slightly tired face, opened the door and smiled bitterly: "Young master really has energy. Sure enough, it's not enough to be old."

Wu Mian smiled and said, "Sir, I really like to joke."

Zhuge Qing, who patted her face with both hands and made her energetic, smiled and said, "Come in, I'll put on makeup for you."

After Zhuge Qing carefully painted his makeup and turned into Kong Wenxuan's appearance, Wu Mian observed his appearance in front of the mirror and found that he was almost the same as Kong Wenxuan in his dream. However, after his expression was a little frivolous, he pursed his lips slightly, letting the corners of his mouth downward, and he looked more calm and capable, and then he nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the window was already bright.

Looking at Zhuge Qing who was packing up makeup props, Wu Mian looked around and found that the layout in the room seemed to be no different from last night. Her eyes fell on the mirror in front of her, and she casually said: "Sir, let's go for breakfast."

Zhuge Qing, who was packing up her makeup props, said without looking back: "Okay."

After Zhuge Qing packed up her makeup props and washed up, Wu Mian and she went to the canteen of the government office with him.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Wu Mian smelled the smell of fried food and his nose twitched a few more times.

He had almost never had a good meal when he left Changshang and came to Langzhou. Even when he was in Dagui County, he didn't enjoy it because he was in a hurry to go. Now that he smelled the fragrance of fried food, he suddenly felt the greedy worm in his stomach was yelling.

But when he saw what was fried, he suddenly lost his appetite...locust!

Fry the locusts!

The sticky and disgusting smell of the raw locust I ate yesterday seemed to be rippling in his mouth again.

Li Mingtian was also in the cafeteria. After seeing Wu Mian, he immediately greeted: "Master Kong, you have already gotten up! Come and try this fried locust. This is a delicacy in Langzhou. You can't eat it anywhere else!"
