The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Vol2 – Chapter 27 – The Old Meng Family absolutely does not engage in special treatment

"The general plan is set. Everyone, go home and prepare," said Village Chief Jiang Dahai.

Just then, the door of the village chief's house was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A young man in a green robe, leaning on a blind man's cane, slowly walked in.

"Hey, Liuli, such a big event, and you didn't even inform me?" the young man sighed.

In an instant, dozens of villagers in the temporary study room were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, their faces full of terror.

Qin Fenghuo stared at the newcomer in a daze, not even noticing when the iron hammer in his hand fell to the ground.

"Damn..." Village Chief Jiang Dahai cursed in shock.

The Empress' Husband! Why is he here?!

More importantly, how did he find this place?

Dongfang Liuli's heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale with fright, and she stood up abruptly, stammering, "Qing... Qingzhou!? Why are you here?"

Everyone fell silent, their eyes focused on Meng Qingzhou, all looking a bit nervous and scared.

The crowd lowered their heads, exchanged glances, and their hearts began to race.

'Luckily, the new rules for Present Village were issued in advance, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.'

'Moreover... Qingzhou's strength seems to have increased a lot again. I didn't even notice him at first.'

Dongfang Liuli wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and gently patted her chest, clearly still frightened.

Meng Qingzhou said gently, "I wanted to see what you were busy with every day. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Silly, what are you talking about? Of course not," Dongfang Liuli smiled. "If you ignored me, then I would blame you."

The villagers all closed their ears, looked around, stared at the ceiling, or looked at the floor for ants.

Hmm, this ceiling is really a ceiling, and where did those ants go?

Some newly joined villagers in Present Village had eyes shining with excitement. They not only learned that the Empress' Husband was the Space-Time Sword Saint, Meng Qin, but also witnessed the daily life of the Empress and her husband flirting.

This made the new villagers sigh with emotion, feeling that they could die without regrets.

"I heard everything you were discussing just now," Meng Qingzhou said calmly, his tone revealing no emotion.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

Although they knew that the Empress' Husband couldn't deduce the hidden truth of Present Village just from their cryptic conversation, no one dared to be sure, given Meng Qingzhou's increasingly intimidating titles, whether he had hidden some abilities.

"What do you think?" Jiang Canghai swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Meng Qingzhou's eyebrows furrowed, his face suddenly becoming serious, and he said sternly, "What do I think?"

"Of course, I'm very angry!"

Thud!

A villager, upon hearing this, lost his composure and knelt down immediately.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! Get up!" Qin Fenghuo almost jumped three feet high, hurriedly scolding through voice transmission.

Brother, we haven't even blown up yet, why are you confessing in advance?

The villager realized his mistake, sneaked a glance at the Empress' Husband, and seeing no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly stood up.

Under the tense gazes of dozens of eyes, Meng Qingzhou sighed, "I thought that living in the same village, we were like family, relying on each other, regardless of wealth or poverty. I didn't expect you to treat me as an outsider!"

Hearing this, even Village Chief Jiang Dahai couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, his blood pressure rising rapidly. He opened his mouth, almost ready to confess.

Suddenly, Meng Qingzhou changed his tone and said, "Since people from the neighboring village are causing trouble, we should stand united. Even though I have an eye condition, my cane can still break a leg."

"Tell me! Are the troublemakers from the neighboring village trying to seize land, or did someone's livestock go missing, and they're using it as an excuse?"

"We don't provoke trouble, but we don't fear it either. I must be part of this action."

Meng Qingzhou nodded.

To be honest, the squabbles among mortals were quite interesting. After living a leisurely life for so long, it inevitably felt boring. At times like this, a little excitement was needed.

So he resolutely joined the collective activities of Present Village. After all, it was just a friction among mortals.

Of course, the most important reason was that his wife was also involved.

With his wife out there resolving matters, how could he, the head of the household, stay behind and live leisurely?

"Uh..." Village Chief Jiang Dahai was stunned, a lump in his throat, wanting to speak but not daring to.

"Hey! Nephew, after all this time, you're talking about this?" Qin Fenghuo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily, "We didn't intentionally not call you. It's just a small matter, no need to trouble you. We all know that you were personally recruited by the Empress of Great Jin, your status is noble."

Meng Qingzhou waved his hand modestly, "You're joking. That's all in the past. Now I'm just a commoner. The Empress thought I was unlearned and sent me back. You all know this."

On the day he returned to Present Village, Meng Qingzhou had already thought of an excuse, saying he was just a minor official in Great Jin, and that day, the Empress happened to pass by Present Village and took him away.

After all, it was Meng Qin, the Minister, who was famous, not Meng Qingzhou.

"Haha... hahaha..." Qin Fenghuo laughed dryly, winking continuously, signaling Jiang Dahai to think of a solution.

The two intruders in Present Village were likely cultivators from Sky State. The enemy's exact strength was unknown, so how could they let the Empress' Husband take the risk?

Moreover, if a conflict broke out, how could they fight in front of the Empress' Husband? Should they squat and beg the opponent not to fight, claiming they were just ordinary villagers?

Hmm, a group of ordinary villagers living in the palace and renowned throughout the world.

"Uh... Qingzhou, you have an eye condition. Let's not worry your wife. Just two thieves, we have over a hundred people in the village. We can handle it," Jiang Dahai persuaded gently.

Meng Qingzhou shook his head firmly, "No way!"

"My wife is on the front lines, and you want me, a man, to stay home and watch?"

Dongfang Liuli was speechless, her face blushing.

This blockhead salt fish, it's rare for him to say something nice, but don't say it in front of so many people. I'm the Empress, I need to maintain my dignity!

"Then how about I don't go either?" Dongfang Liuli asked tentatively.

Meng Qingzhou shook his head again, "That's not acceptable either. Our family is one of the top households in the village. When something happens, we should take the lead."

"Under the same roof, everyone works towards the same goal. If we act special, we'll be ostracized over time."

"So this collective activity, our family must participate!"

Villagers: ......

Empress: ......
