"Why are you waiting to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?" Pu Zheng asked.
"This..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Deputy Manager Li's face.
"Um!"
"Master Immortal, please calm down and let the villain report back. Here's what happened..." Seeing the other party's face darken, Deputy Manager Li's heart trembled and he hurriedly summed up the purpose of the trip.
After listening to Deputy Manager Li's narration, Pu Zheng and others looked at each other, secretly saying that the royal family was really speechless. Isn't this just boring nonsense!
It turned out that these guards and imperial troops were sent by a prince, but they were not on a mission, but to collect rare treasures and stunning beauties from various places.
In fact, this is understandable. The emperor's relatives are powerful and wealthy, so it is normal to collect some treasures. However, the method and purpose of collecting treasures make people laughable and angry at the same time.
The princes, princesses and relatives of the royal family of Jin Chengguo had nothing to do on weekdays. They lost interest in having fun and sensuality all day long, and always found other ways to entertain the loneliness in the palace. Take gambling for example. The method of gambling is naturally not a face-to-face bet between two parties, but a new one.
Currently, a popular gambling among the royal family is for both sides to find some martial arts masters to fight until only one person is left, then whoever is left wins. People outside the two parties can also bet on winning or losing. The bet can be gold, silver, real estate or objects, or the beauties around you can be used as bets.
Later, people were not satisfied with the beauties they obtained from outside, and even took their own concubines as slaves. What's more, both parties bet on their wives. As a result, the wives and concubines of these royal relatives changed very frequently. It was normal to change wives and concubines every few days, and sometimes even once a day, which showed the extent of the royal family's arrogance and lewdness.
Recently, the way of playing in the royal family has changed again. It is no longer mainly gambling, but auctions.
An auction house was specially set up in the palace. Access was not limited to the royal family. Officials above the county level and their children could also enter and exit the auction house, but they had to pay a certain amount of deposit. The deposit can be gold and silver objects, or a stunning beauty, as long as it can be auctioned.
At first it was just for fun, but I decided to organize it once I remembered. Later, the royal relatives became addicted to the game and regularly organized a large auction at the end of each month and a small auction at the middle and end of each month. In such an intensive auction, no matter how many treasures there are, it is not enough. Therefore, the emperor's relatives, the county guards and others were all proud of possessing enviable treasures and stunning beauties.
Therefore, these people sent a large number of men to search for treasures and beauties across the country, even exchanging treasures with other countries at the expense of their own country's interests. Nowadays, the search for treasures in the royal family has become so popular that it has even reached the point of madness. And officials at all levels also followed suit and followed suit.
The purpose of these guards and imperial guards traveling was for this matter. They had already traveled through several counties, causing chaos and chaos everywhere, and there was no day of peace.
"These bastards really know how to play. They are so morally corrupt and act so recklessly. If things go on like this, people everywhere will be in dire straits and complain. All parties will rise up and the country will be ruined. Isn't the Jincheng Dynasty in danger?" Lin Cheng heard this! Can't help but curse.
"The wine and meat of the Zhumen are stinky, and there are bones on the road that are frozen to death. It's the same for all dynasties in the world. Whoever has the biggest fist has the final say." Zhong Ming said indifferently.
"The officials forced the people to return, and the people were forced to become anxious, so they would inevitably rise up. As the saying goes, those who dare to unseat the emperor would be willing to cut themselves off." Wang Dahai was somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
"Emperors take turns, come to my house this year. There is no permanent dynasty, sooner or later the dynasty will change." Hu Zhiran said.
Everyone was talking about it for a while.
"Does Zhou Tianzong not care about it?" Wu Changan asked Song Huhu.
"They are too lazy to care about these things! For these large sects, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, as long as they pay tribute every year and hand over all the slaves." Song Laohu curled his lips.
"I see."
"My lords, my lords and villains, can you leave?" At this time, Deputy Manager Li asked.
After hearing what everyone said, he was already frightened. These were all disrespectful words. If it were anyone else who would have been beheaded long ago, only these immortal masters would not take it seriously and talk about it without any scruples. . But he didn't dare to listen anymore, and he didn't dare to take advantage of anyone after hearing it, but there were many imperial guards behind him. If this reached the emperor's ears, he would have to be punished for neglecting his duties.
"Go." Pu Zheng said indifferently.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Yang called out to stop the deputy general manager who turned to leave.
"Immortal, do you have any other instructions from Master Immortal?" Deputy Manager Li asked in a trembling voice. His heart had just fallen to the ground, but after hearing these words, his heart rose again. Could it be that this Immortal Master still refused to let him go?
"Let me ask you, how can the governors of Jin Chengguo and their children enter the palace?" Zhou Yang's question seemed strange to Pu Zheng and others.
"You can only enter with the palace token." Deputy Manager Li bowed and answered cautiously.
"Are there any immortal masters in the palace?"
"I really don't know this. But..."
"Say what you have to say, don't hesitate!" Zhou Yang frowned.
"Yes, yes! I have never seen an immortal master before, but I heard that there is a sub-immortal master around the emperor."
"Asian Immortal Master?" Everyone was stunned. An Immortal Master must be an Immortal Master. What else is an Immortal Master? What the hell is that?
"I've only heard people talk about it occasionally, but I don't know anything else about it."
"Have those sub-immortal masters participated in the auction?"
"It seems that I have participated."
"So there are things that the Immortal Master needs in the palace auction?"
"I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I have only participated in one auction, so I don't know whether any of the items are useful to an immortal master." According to the position of the Deputy Chief of Ouchi Guards, he should be about the same as a county guard, so he is eligible to participate in the auction. However, he didn't have many treasures, so he only participated once.
"Do you have a token?"
"Yes, yes. This is the access token." Deputy Manager Li took out a golden token from his arms.
"It's okay, you can go." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"Yes, yes! I'll excuse you." The deputy general manager took a deep breath, put the token away, stepped back a few steps before getting back on his horse, and then scolded everyone to continue on their way.
When the large group of people passed by Zhou Yang and others, they walked very slowly. The horses' hooves were raised and put down gently. They did not dare to stir up any dust for fear of disturbing the immortal master. They did not speed up their horses until they were far away from them and drove away. Needless to say, this was Deputy General Manager Li's order.
"Which auction are you interested in?" Hu Zhiran turned to Zhou Yang and asked.
"What kind of treasure can be found in an auction between mortals? I'm just interested in the so-called sub-immortal master."
"Is there someone who is cheating and eating and drinking in the palace?" Zhong Ming interjected.
"It's possible that the palace is nothing to us, but it is a good place for mortals. It makes the stupid emperor happy, and rewards him with some gold and silver treasures. It's not like playing. After that, he can become an official. Maybe!" Wang Dahai agreed.
"Okay, I have to hurry up. Maybe Tiehu and the others have been waiting for a while!" Song Laosan urged.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Yang and others got on their horses and headed straight for Hudong Fucheng.
"Little Yangzi, you're back!" As soon as they entered the inn, Xing'er ran out like a gust of wind, making the boy next to her salivate. Oh, my mother, it’s terrible. She must be a fairy descending to earth. She looks so pretty even if she doesn’t smile. When she smiles, it’s almost impossible to live.
"I'm back, let's talk inside."
"Waiter, hurry up and prepare a table of good food, and I'll take care of them!" Tiehu shouted to the waiter.
"Good!"
"Wait a minute! Third brother, take out the tiger meat and cook it in one piece for senior brother and the others to have a taste." Zhou Yang stopped the waiter with a wave of his hand.
"No problem. Go on!" Song Laohu slapped the storage bag, and a large piece of tiger meat appeared on the counter. The waiter stared at him. This guy must be doing magic. More than a hundred kilograms of meat suddenly flew out of his arms. Come out, or what, tiger meat?
"Add more seasonings. This is white tiger meat. Once it's stewed, I'll reward you!" Song Laosan clapped his hands.
"Yes, yes. The little one will definitely prepare it for you. I guarantee your satisfaction!" The waiter did not dare to neglect and hurriedly called for others to carry this large piece of tiger meat to the kitchen.
"Why have we been gone for so many days? Where did Fan Yuan come from?" Tie Hu asked anxiously as everyone sat down, Linghu Deyi and Xing'er also pricked up their ears to listen.
"I've been traveling for so many days, so I have to eat and drink first!" Zhou Yang said dissatisfied.
"Yeah, let's drink first, drink!" Song Laohu picked up the cup and took a big sip.
"Little Yangzi, what's the point? You want to kill me!" Tiehu quit.
Myolie also rolled her eyes at Zhou Yang with dissatisfaction, but that kind of charm made Zhou Yang tremble. He suddenly discovered that Xing'er was getting more and more beautiful.
"Yes, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Zhou Yang had no choice but to put down his wine glass and talk about his past experiences. Of course, I said what I should say and didn’t mention anything I shouldn’t.
"My God, the treasure of Tongtian Holy Sect! What a treasure it is. Maybe there is a panacea that will allow me to reach heaven in one step!" Tiehu's eyes widened.
"Miao, you are so big that even Fan Yuan, who is in the fake elixir realm, was seriously injured. With our abilities, we can't get the elixir back." Song Laosan said disdainfully.
"Where is the treasure hiding place?" Linghu Deyi asked the key question.
"I don't know the specifics. It was Fan Yuan's imperial weapon that flew me over. His speed was too fast, and I only knew that there was an abyss beneath me. After entering, there was only an outer layer of restrictions, which non-jindan masters could not break." Zhou Yang briefly mentioned a few words.
"Oh my God, only masters in the divine realm can enter the interior?" Xing'er also covered her mouth and said in surprise.
"By the way, is Fan Yuan only seriously injured? Is he not dead?" Linghu Deyi continued to ask.
