Cui Yu was thinking about Chen Lu, while gently comforting Wang Yi: "If the master really has the foundation, he will become enlightened sooner or later, and there is no rush for this moment."
"Perhaps this is the best time to push Chen Lu to the opposite side of the saint and put Chen Lu to death." Cui Yu secretly felt cruel in his heart.
Tell him to kill Chen Lu? He felt that he did not have the ability, and Chen Lu had already entered the imperial edict to interfere with the operation of the power of the legal world, which overrides magical powers.
Only those with supernatural powers at the heaven-defying level are qualified to resist in front of the Dharma Realm. Time passed little by little, and peace returned to Daliang City, and no one gave away rice anymore.
Chen Lu chose to use all means to redeem Tai Chi Diao, and of course she would not put rice in the hands of those two-faced people.
Since it has become a foregone conclusion that the old sour scholar failed to achieve enlightenment, he will certainly not spend any more time on it. In Chen Lu's manor, Gao Dacong held the list in his hand and reported to Chen Lu in a low voice: "Currently, all the treasures in our academy have been collected and gathered in Daliang City. The remaining 365 princes, As well as all the nobles, we can lobby for all the heavenly materials, earthly treasures, fairy grass and Ganoderma lucidum that can be exchanged. The various treasures gathered total 99 million dou, which is still one short of the hundreds of millions dou stipulated by the great devil. A million buckets.”
"Now the Imperial Court of Zhou Dynasty has also noticed that something is wrong, and is involved in the struggle for supplies. It has secretly begun to investigate the matter of rice. Our actions should not be too big." Gao Dachong said in a low voice.
"One million dou is still missing? Ninety-nine million dou have been gathered, is there still one million dou missing?" Chen Lu's voice was a little cold.
"Senior brother, rice is worthless now, and Yanqu is selling rice at a huge price, and it is almost catching up with the price of ordinary rice." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Gao Dachong's voice.
"Can't we even get together one million dou?" Chen Lu asked.
"Senior brother, we have already dealt with all the schools, clans, major families, and vassal states that are close to us, those we can do business with, and those we can use the name of the school to issue IOUs, and the remaining one million dou , it is really impossible to find a fat sheep. Especially when Tang Zhou took action on Taiping Road, he dropped countless meters for free. Tang Zhou had secretly colluded with the major vassal states, and doing business with the vassal states was certainly better than peace. Our business will be much smoother. At least 50% of our business will be robbed by Taiping Dao. Another two and a half levels will be robbed by the lineage of Nali Saint. It can be said that there are now 365 vassal states, All the major nobles and scholars in the world have borrowed everything they can from our three families. The only ones who are staying out of this matter are probably the Zhou royal family and those ancient tribes who are not short of rice." Gao Dachong kept complaining. .
"But, there is only one million dou left!" Chen Lu's voice was full of depression: "If I can get one million dou of supplies, I can immediately exchange it for one of the three treasures of Kaitian, and my status will be different in the future. "
"Think about it again, is there any way?" Chen Lu kept pressing. Although he is not good at planning, fortunately he has a dog-headed strategist.
Gao Dachong really had no choice but to scratch his head anxiously. There are only so many treasures in the world. Now with the changes in the world, the treasures are used less and less. To be able to collect 90 million dou, it is still relying on the face of Saint Haoran and the news that the old Confucian scholar is about to become a Taoist as a gimmick to deceive people. Abducted and coaxed.
Moreover, rice was too scarce, so the nobles just started trading. But now that the market has gone bad, rice is worthless.
"How about borrowing money from the Great Zhou Court in the name of a saint? The Great Zhou Court is disgusted with the Saint Li, and wants to draw the master over to set up a banner to fight against the Saint. If you use the saint's seal, borrow it from the Great Zhou Court It's not difficult to get millions of supplies." Gao Dachong started to come up with bad ideas.
"If Meng Shengren is blamed in the future..." Chen Lian looked hesitant.
"You have ruined the old Confucian scholar's affairs. Is there still one thing missing? Isn't it just a debt? As long as we borrow it quietly, we can pay it back quietly in the future. If it doesn't work, just use rice. Pay off the debt." Gao Dachong said.
A mental ape in Chen Lu's eyes kept beating, but it was restrained by its powerful cultivation state of mind and kept jumping back and forth.
Of course he knew what it meant to use Saint Meng's seal to borrow a 'loan' from the court. Once word spread about the Haoran lineage, it would be equivalent to turning to the court.
This is certainly not allowed by Saint Haoran. But what Gao Dachong said is right. He has fallen to the point where he is today. If he can't pass the test of being an old and sour scholar, what's the point of talking about the future?
Only with the Three Treasures of Kaitian can he be qualified to talk to saints. So after hesitating for a long time, Chen Lu finally nodded in agreement, with a look of helplessness in his eyes: "Go and contact the people in the court for me."
"I know Zhihu, the commander-in-chief of Zhensi. Zhihu is currently operating in Daliang City. I will go and help my senior brother." After Gao Dachong finished speaking, he turned around and retreated.
Looking at Gao Dacong's back, Chen Lu felt heavy in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In an inconspicuous house in Daliang City. Zhihu was drinking with Tang Zhou.
"How are the arrangements for the incident going?" Zhihu asked.
"My junior brother has been fully prepared, but there is still one opportunity missing. The place of rebellion is Daze Township." Tang Zhou said.
"The imperial court wants to kill chickens to scare monkeys and destroy Taiping Road with a thunderous force. Can you confirm that the information is accurate?" Zhihu asked.
"Taipingdao is all my internal response." Tang Zhou said: "I even had a clone sneak into it and became one of the thirty-six canals. Do you think the information is accurate? But I don't know where my junior brother learned it from. The mysterious military formation is called: Tiangang Formation. It’s a bit mysterious, and I can’t even see through it. The court needs to be careful.”
"Tiangang Formation? How come you've never heard of it?" Zhihu paused while drinking tea.
"What's the current situation in Daliang City?" Zhihu asked: "Where did that rice come from? How did it spread all over the three hundred and sixty-five vassal states in one night? The court is now worried that once the blood of the vassal states As it became stronger, the court became more passive." He was asking Tang and Zhou. After all, Taiping Road also started selling rice, so he must know the secrets.
"In the Kunlun Mountains, let's make a deal with him," Tang Zhou said.
"If the court wants to know, I can hand over the information." Tang Zhou said with a smile. He doesn't care now, he has collected enough supplies to exchange for one of the three treasures of Kaitian.
Just because he was distracted, he was worried about whether he should exchange it or not.
Now all the supplies in the world are being plundered by the three of them. Even if the news is told to the court, the court will have no time to react, let alone redeem such huge supplies.
The most important thing is that he has no way to collect the materials to exchange for the second piece, so why not inform the court to sell it as soon as possible?
Zhihu was moved when he heard this: "Are you willing to tell me?" Tang Zhou smiled, wrote down the message, and handed it to Zhihu.
Zhihu took the note, glanced at it and revealed a flash of light. He knew the news. As for whether he should hand it over to the court or not?
? ? talk later!
"You three families have collected almost 40% of the world's supplies. What are you doing with so much wealth?" Zhihu asked again.
Of course he didn't ask for his own sake, but for the sake of suppressing the traitor. After all, Tang Zhou was also a member of Taiping Dao. Although he was now defecting to the imperial court, the imperial court still remained cautious about Tang Zhou's actions.
"Collect hundreds of millions of dou of materials from the world and exchange them for a certain treasure." Tang Zhou didn't hide it either. Zhihu was stunned when he heard this, but his heart became even more itchy. What kind of treasure was it worthy of the other party's war?
"Do you think the imperial court can still be saved?" Tang Zhou suddenly asked. Zhihu was silent after hearing this, and after a long time he said: "I still have the strength to be fifty-fifty."
"Is he really that strong?" Tang Zhou couldn't believe it. Da Zhou has lost the covenant between ghosts and gods and the lotus lantern. Why should he compete with the princes of the world?
By the heavens of the Great Zhou Dynasty? But Taipingdao also has heaven. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered a heavy blow eight thousand years ago. It is hard to say what strength it has now and what state it has recovered to.
"Why?" Tang Zhou asked, expressing his doubts.
"I don't know." Zhihu's answer was beyond Tang Zhou's expectations.
"Don't know?" Tang Zhou was stunned.
"All the news about that person has been erased from time and space. How far can you tell me how far that person has cultivated?" Zhihu said.
"Then how did you know?" Tang Zhou asked subconsciously.
"Because I am Zhihu! The only Zhihu in the world!" Zhihu was a little proud. As he was talking, there was a knock on the door: "Sir, Gao Dacong wants to see you."
"Come in." Zhihu said. I saw Gao Dacong walking into the courtyard with a serious face. He scanned the entire courtyard and only Zhihu was sitting under the eaves.
His eyes swept across the table, where two cups of hot tea were clearly placed.
"Greetings, sir." Gao Dachong bowed respectfully.
"What's the matter?" Zhihu asked.
"My lord, what a happy event. Chen Lu committed a crime in Hutu recently and wanted to borrow millions of dou of supplies from the imperial court in the name of Saint Meng." Gao Dachong said with a smile.
Zhihu was also stunned, and then stood up suddenly: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Gao Dachong said, "My subordinates are here today just for Chen Lu's lobbying."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! If this is really done, I will remember you for your great contribution." Zhihu kept clapping his hands: "If you can do it, I will transfer you back to the town of Guisi. You don't have to continue to work in Haoran's lineage. Going undercover."
"Sir, my subordinate is not willing to go back now. I am used to staying in the Haoran lineage, so you'd better not send me back." Gao Dachong said.
He is not only an extremely popular minister in the Haoran lineage, but he is also a master. If this incident could bring about Chen Lu's downfall, maybe she could continue to climb higher.
He felt that even if Chen Lu passed this test, she would definitely fall out of favor in front of Saint Haoran. Will he have a chance to take Chen Lu's place by then?
Zhihu glanced at the other party in surprise and nodded: "Since you have this intention, of course I have no reason not to fulfill it. You ask Chen Lu to come in person and ask him to use Saint Meng's seal as collateral to sign the contract." Submit the contract documents, and millions of supplies will be delivered immediately." Gao Dachong left, Tang Zhou walked out of the house with a gloomy expression, and looked at Gao Dachong's back: "Why do you suddenly feel that the world is full of Dazhou's people? Spies, there should be spies in my Taiping Road, right?"
"Aren't you my biggest spy in Taiping Dao? Besides, do you really think that the people in the imperial court are nothing more than nothing?" Zhihu said with a smile: "When the major princes were taking action, the imperial court had already begun to make plans." After hearing this After all, Tang Zhou looked a little unhappy.
"Chen Lu borrowed supplies everywhere for the so-called treasure?" Zhihu asked.
"That's right. I didn't expect that Chen Lu was so stupid that he even borrowed money from the imperial court. I'm afraid the relationship between Saint Haoran and the imperial court will be unclear this time." Tang Zhou suddenly remembered something: "If Chen Lu exchanged materials Enough is enough, do you have to go crazy and redeem the Three Treasures of Kaitian? Will you lose the right of priority by then?"
"No, I have to go out." After saying this, Tang Zhou hurriedly disappeared into the yard.
"." Looking at Tang Zhou's disappearing back, Zhihu fell into deep thought: "Is it really that charming? Tang Zhou is not a fool. So what are the so-called Three Treasures of Kaitian? It is so charming." He didn't give up. No matter how long Zhihu waited, he saw Chen Lu and Gao Dachong appearing in the yard.
"Greetings, sir." Chen Lu raised her hand and saluted.
"I know everything. You just need to write a document, pledge the saint's seal, and use the incense covenant oath of Haoran's lineage. A million dou of supplies is just a drop in the ocean to our Great Zhou court. It's rare for you to have such a heart. Rare!" Zhihu praised Chen Lu.
At this time, Chen Lu's mind was filled with the Three Treasures of Kaitian. How could he have time to think about what the other party said?
"The letters and documents have been prepared a long time ago." Chen Lu directly took out the contract prepared in his sleeve. This is a covenant made with Saint Haoran's seal, a 'loan' from Haoran's lineage, and with the power of the law of oath, it is impossible to defy and cheat.
"Okay! Just wait a moment. A treasure will be delivered naturally in a quarter of an hour." Zhihu was overjoyed when he saw the document, and said to himself: "This time it's done, I will definitely be rewarded by Emperor Zhou. With this Documents, Haoran's lineage is equivalent to getting on the court's chariot, Saint Haoran wants to break up with him, but he can't break up with the people of the world."
"Chen Lu is really good! If everyone in the world can be as dedicated to the court as Chen Lu, how can there be any trouble with those rebellious parties? Even if those ghosts and gods break away from the ghosts and gods covenant, they will still be firmly held by those of my human bloodline Crushed to death." Zhihu didn't dare to delay when he got the documents, fearing that Chen Lu would regret it, so he said hello: "I'll go allocate supplies to you right away."
Then he hurriedly slipped out of the back door. A quarter of an hour later, the supplies arrived as promised. Chen Lu took out a scallop to put the supplies away, and then hurried towards the cave.
