The guard, unaware that the Consort possessed a " Qiankun Bag" as she rarely kept him by her side when going out, was naturally astonished.
As a result, he was still trying to process what had happened after everyone else had entered the estate.
After entering the manor, Leng Ruo Li glanced at the fields behind the houses, which seemed to stretch endlessly. Jun Mohan had told her that the manor they were standing in was the largest of his estates, with the best irrigation. The weeds on the ground had also been cleared, and about an acre of land had been tilled to her specifications.
Then, Leng Ruo Li crouched down, picked up a handful of black soil, and put it into the laboratory in her space for analysis. The result showed that the soil quality of the manor was excellent black soil, with high organic matter, fertile soil, and loose texture. If her sweet potatoes and potatoes didn't yield a high harvest, she would be letting down this good land.
"Jun Mohan, is the harvest from this manor always the best each year?" Leng Ruo Li asked casually.
"Eh, Li'er, how did you know?" Jun Mohan asked, looking puzzled.
"Because the black soil in this manor has high organic matter, fertile soil, and loose texture, so it's not surprising that the grain yield is high," Leng Ruo Li explained concisely to Jun Mohan.
"Li'er, you're truly amazing, to know the soil quality just by picking up a handful of dirt."
Jun Mohan greatly admired Leng Ruo Li's skills.
"Heh heh, I have special methods for detection, you know that."
After speaking, Leng Ruo Li winked at him playfully.
Jun Mohan felt quite helpless at the sight.
Next, Leng Ruo Li found more than a dozen small hoes in the manor. Then, she divided the land and assigned each person to plant a small plot, personally teaching everyone how to plant corn and potatoes.
The stewards and servants of the manor were all experienced farmers who had been working there for years, so after seeing Leng Ruo Li plant a few potato seedlings, they knew how to plant them.
Later, after she had been planting for a while, the stewards and servants from other manors also came to learn planting techniques from her. Some watched, and then personally got their hands dirty to plant alongside Leng Ruo Li and the others.
With twenty to thirty people planting an acre of land, even Jun Mohan and the two guards who were helping to drive the carriage joined in. They finished planting in no time.
"Consort, will the fruits from the two types of seedlings we just planted really be able to feed us and yield a high harvest?" At this moment, one of the stewards asked.
"Yes, as long as the land is fertile and the weather is favorable, the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes will definitely be high. Of course, the yield of corn won't be too bad either," Leng Ruo Li said to everyone with a smile.
"That's wonderful! If the yield of these three crops is higher than that of rice, and we increase our efforts to promote their cultivation in the future, then the people of our Tianwu Kingdom will definitely not go hungry."
Hearing Leng Ruo Li's words, everyone's faces lit up with hope.
As dusk approached, Leng Ruo Li, along with the manor stewards and servants, regardless of their status, washed vegetables and ate together at the same table. The atmosphere in the manor during dinner was particularly harmonious.
You Meng and the others who worked in the manor had never expected to be able to work, cook, and eat with the Prince and Consort.
Even more unexpected was that their Consort not only knew how to farm but also possessed excellent cooking skills and even medical knowledge…
But the most incredible thing was that their Consort was not only devastatingly beautiful but also kind-hearted, exceptionally wise, and didn't put on airs, treating them, the servants, well.
Leng Ruo Li's actions that day caused the manor stewards and servants' favor towards her to soar.
Everyone sighed in their hearts: Their Prince was truly fortunate to have married such a capable and virtuous Consort.
As night fell, the Cold King and his Consort got into their carriage and left the manor, preparing to return to the Cold King's mansion.
As the carriage was nearing the city gate, two rows of assassins in black suddenly emerged from both sides of the road. One of the assassins, without a word, drew his long sword and thrust it towards the carriage windows, aiming for the Cold King and his Consort.
The Cold King and his Consort inside the carriage had already sensed the unusual situation outside. They casually extended two fingers and effortlessly caught the long swords thrust by the assassins.
Then, with their free hands, the Cold King and his Consort gently gathered an inner force and directed it towards the heads of the assassins by the window. Those two assassins died on the spot and rolled into the bushes.
Subsequently, Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mohan immediately flew out of the carriage, leaped into the air, drew their respective swords, and then, infusing them with inner force, they slashed at the assassins. Wherever their blades passed, countless were killed or injured.
"Ah…"
"It hurts so much!"
Instantly, the ground was filled with cries of agony.
Then, the Cold King and his Consort infused another wave of inner force, and they both slashed their swords at the people again. Another large group of assassins fell to the ground.
At the same time, a mass of ink-black fog blew in with a gust of wind. A moment later, a "little girl" with a cute appearance but an extremely sinister smile appeared in mid-air. This little girl was Huo Ying, whom the Cold King and his Consort had been searching for.
"You couple are indeed quite capable, to be able to successfully evade the attacks of multiple experts from the Dark Night Pavilion." Huo Ying said with a face full of admiration.
"Huo Ying, last time you and Lin Zhenfei attacked our Cold King's mansion and fled in defeat after a crushing loss. Are you not afraid of losing even more miserably this time as you come to intercept us?" Leng Ruo Li said with a face full of mockery.
"Heh! Last time it was because we were unprepared for the hidden weapons in your hand, which is why the Pavilion Master was injured by you. This time, you won't be so lucky to escape from Huo Ying's grasp."
After speaking, Huo Ying's lips curved into a sinister smile.
Immediately, using the Shadow Shifting technique, she charged at the Cold King and his Consort at top speed. The Cold King and his Consort reacted equally quickly, and the three immediately began fighting.
The scene of the three fighting was dazzling to watch. The sparks from the collision of their inner forces turned into streaks of dazzling light, and the people on the ground could not clearly see who was winning or losing.
The three continued to fight like this for half an hour before finally separating. However, they remained suspended in mid-air. The Cold King and his Consort had relaxed expressions, while a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Huo Ying's mouth.
"You couple indeed have some skills. No wonder even Jiao Mo was defeated by your hands."
Huo Ying's gaze was like two sharp swords, sweeping towards the Cold King and his Consort, and she said with a gloomy expression.
"Heh heh, little dwarf, are you convinced now? How about we fight another round?"
Leng Ruo Li deliberately provoked her.
"Hmph! Do you think I, Huo Ying, dare not?" Huo Ying replied stubbornly.
After speaking, she spread her hands, gathered her inner force, and unleashed a stream of black smoke towards the position of the Cold King and his Consort. The Cold King and his Consort quickly dodged.
Next, Huo Ying's speed transformed into eight figures, completely surrounding the Cold King.
