"What? That fairy treasure was stolen?" King Jin put down the memorial in his hand in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Liu Quangong said next to him: "This is the latest news."
"What's the truth?"
Liu Quangong lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid no one knows the real situation."
King Jin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Gu Ming lost this immortal treasure before he even had time to prepare his intention to present the treasure. He really lost it just in time."
"Isn't this just right? If this imperial edict is issued, I'm afraid it will damage the majesty of the imperial court."
King Jin laughed and said: "Not to mention Gu can't get an immortal treasure of this level, even if any immortal tries to get it, he still can't get it. Wei Yuan can give it away obediently if Gu gives an imperial edict.
Come here? You don’t believe it, and neither does Gu. Those who want Gu to draw up this will also don’t believe it.”
Liu Quangong lowered his head and said nothing.
King Jin suddenly said: "Go and bring in all the memorials that have been sent in."
Liu Quangong hesitated.
"Go quickly!"
Liu Quangong hurried away and returned in a hurry, bringing back more than a dozen pieces of information. King Jin looked at them one by one and said slowly: "That's all?"
"That's all."
"Okay, you go down. If someone comes, please drive me. I want to go to Chunhua Palace."
After a while, King Jin and Concubine Yuan sat opposite each other, teased the little King Chu in Concubine Yuan's arms a few times, and then said: "Have you heard, Wei Yuan's fairy treasure has been lost?"
"What fairy treasure? Is it very powerful?" Concubine Yuan asked.
King Jin said: "It can cut off a person's life span for thousands of years. Do you think it's powerful? But it's not too surprising that the immortal treasure was lost. What surprised Gu Gu was that several of the treasures were also lost."
Concubine Yuan finally looked away from King Chu, looked at King Jin, and asked: "What could be written on those folds?"
"If Gu guessed correctly, he should have persuaded Gu to issue an order to Wei Yuan, asking him to pay tribute to this fairy treasure."
Concubine Yuan's eyes flashed, and she said calmly: "It seems that there is not peace in the palace, and it is also in the court."
…
Wei Yuan watched as boxes of breastplates were loaded onto the truck and then replaced with boxes of fairy silver.
Around him, more than a dozen heads of various chambers of commerce, forces and families formed a circle, exploring possible directions for cooperation.
Wei Yuan was very patient and said: "...I want silk. I want all kinds of spiritual silk. I will accept as much as I can. If you don't want fairy silver, you can also use silk to exchange for other supplies...
...There are also spiritual trees, which do not need to be of high grade or vintage. Thirty years is enough. If not, twenty years will be fine... Refugees, this is the most important. If a total of 10,000 refugees can be transported here, then
We will open up more trade...
Suppression of bandits? This can't be suppressed, mainly because it can't be defeated... It's best not to think about suppressing them, you really can't defeat them... But the horse bandits here are very reasonable. If you are really worried, you can hire a team to help.
You escort the caravan, and in the Western Regions, the first-class men will serve as horse bandits, and the second-class men will serve as officers and soldiers...
...It doesn't matter if you don't want to hire horse bandits. In our part of the Western Region, horse bandits follow rules and can rob no more than 20% of a caravan they encounter. If you are robbed once, other horse bandits will not rob again...
…”
Everyone chatted for a while, and they were all very satisfied and saw endless business opportunities and cooperation prospects.
The head of a small family, who looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties, leaned towards Wei Yuan and whispered softly: "Master Wei, please pay attention to your own safety! If something happens to someone like you,
Aren’t all the girls in the world going to die of grief?”
When this woman spoke, her words quivered, her eyes were as charming as silk, and her voice was as sweet as boiled honey. If Wei Yuan hadn't been so famous, she might have directly taken advantage of him.
Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there aren't many Dharma ministers in the world who can beat me."
Everyone admired Wei Yuan's domineering attitude and gained a little more confidence in the transaction. Finally, Wei Yuan added an impromptu show and ordered people to take a group of leaders and family heads to the morgue where the corpses of the Wu clan were piled up.
This was the first time for everyone to see a million-level corpse. Looking at the endless and neatly stacked mountain of corpses, everyone understood what level of battles Qing Ming had fought in the past.
After being shocked, a family leader suddenly asked: "Master Wei, can this battle be won?"
Wei Yuan looked to the northwest, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see the greenery stretching to the sky in that direction. The power of the heaven and earth in the Witch Realm was like a ten thousand-foot mountain range, overlooking Qingming.
Wei Yuan suddenly smiled and said: "Of course I can win! When have I ever lost?"
Although many people thought Wei Yuan was bragging, seeing his sunny smile gave them inexplicable confidence. Indeed, Wei Yuan had never suffered a defeat in leading battles in the past.
A family head shouted: "Master Wei, although our Lu family is small, we are still willing to help resist the aliens! This time I have brought a total of a thousand armored men, and I am willing to give them to you for free! These people are all
The sons of my Lu family are loyal and reliable, and they are not afraid of death."
Wei Yuan was immediately moved and said: "The head of the family gave him timely help, so I accepted it. I will leave the best piece of land for the Lu family in both Dongzhike Town and Yong'an City."
Other caravans and families also donated people one after another. Those with warriors gave away soldiers, and those without warriors gave away refugees. Wei Yuan collected nearly 10,000 skilled warriors and less than 100,000 refugees in one go.
After everyone dispersed, Bao Yun appeared next to Wei Yuan and said with emotion: "They really spent a lot of money. It seems that people's hearts can be used."
These families and caravans are all small and medium-sized forces, and the ability to provide a thousand people is already the limit. I am afraid it will take several years of business to earn back the things they donated to Qingming.
Wei Yuan understood that half of the reason for these people was to establish a good relationship with Qing Ming, but most of the reason was because after seeing the mountains of corpses of the Wu clan, they wanted to contribute to the defense against the Wu clan.
Wei Yuan did not expect that among these people who value business and profit, there would be such a side that does not care about gains and losses. He sighed: "Every time when I feel a little discouraged, I can always see something exciting."
Wei Yuan took a deep breath and said: "There is still a little trouble. Once it is taken care of, we can be free to concentrate on dealing with the Wu clan."
In the Sheriff's Mansion of Bianning County, Sun Chaoen held a grand banquet in honor of the imperial envoy and his entourage.
Sitting high up there was a dignified civil servant with a solemn look and arrogant eyebrows. There was no smile on his face. He looked at Sun Chaoen with an undisguised look of disdain. He picked up the wine glass and said: "Bai Feng Academy is so beautiful."
This is such a small place, but Master Sun can still be found here
Such talent is really rare. Mr. Sun has finally reached his current position, so he should work hard and serve the court well. When you have time, read more books of saints and what you have learned from Bai Feng Academy.
, which is probably enough to serve as a county magistrate."
The smile on Sun Chaoen's face continued: "I wish you a good lesson, sir, and I will study hard. I will go and read Master Zhang's collection later."
The civil servant snorted, put down the glass of wine without even drinking it, and then said, "It's time for me to get on my way."
Then the imperial mission set off and Sun Chaoen arrived all the way to the city gate. Seeing that the mission had walked several miles and was gradually disappearing at the end of the road, Sun Chaoen was still standing there, refusing to return to the city. His attitude could not be more respectful.
In the mission's motorcade, the official was sitting in the car, wondering what he was thinking. The two accompanying civil servants sitting opposite said: "Master Sun is still standing at the gate of the city!"
Another person said: "This Master Sun is also a scholar..."
The official suddenly opened his eyes and muttered: "You come from a small academy that you have never heard of. What kind of scholar do you think you are?"
The two attendants were startled and quickly changed their tune. Although a lot of the money in their pockets was from Sun Chaoen's filial piety, their master's eyes were higher than his own. If they could say a few kind words, they were already worthy of Sun Chaoen.
At this time, an old man sitting next to the official suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly with a sinister voice: "There is murderous intent. It seems that this part of the Western Region is not willing to live in peace!"
The officer also opened his eyes and said coldly: "There are actually Dharma monks who are robbing the Tao? Haha, I want to see how many Dharma monks there are among the horse bandits in the Western Regions."
The old man said: "I haven't moved my muscles for a long time, nephew, let's go meet the experts here!"
"As it should be."
The two slowly walked out of the carriage and saw a group of masked knights blocking the way on the opposite side. Twelve heavenly soldiers stood above the knights!
The two followers got out of the carriage, and they were a little confused for a moment. These are twelve Dharma images?!
They immediately understood that these were not the twelve Dharma signs, but the Twelve Heavenly Art of War signs that one person had cultivated. However, the pressure of the latter was no less than the twelve basic Dharma signs.
The expressions of the old man and the official became solemn, and the old man saluted and said: "With your level of cultivation, you are definitely not an unknown person. Why do you need to be a horse bandit?"
The knight laughed and said: "It is precisely because I am not a nobody that I can become a horse bandit! Stop talking nonsense, are you the imperial envoys from Beijing?"
The official said seriously: "Since you know our origins, you still dare to stop the robbery, could it be..."
The knight interrupted him directly and shouted: "As long as it's you! Do it!"
The official laughed angrily and shouted sternly: "It's just you, I'm afraid..."
The knight interrupted him again: "Who said I was the only one?"
In an instant, the surrounding world changed dramatically, the wind and clouds surged, and suddenly a cluster of orchids bloomed in the sky, fragrant and beautiful! Then a giant scorpion carrying a medicine cauldron and a furnace rushed out from the orchids, leaving patches of scorched earth wherever it passed.
; A golden bird is circling and flying in the sky, waving its wings, and pieces of golden feathers are falling with Tianle.
Another huge fairy sword appeared in all directions around it, standing tall and powerful, with different auras, but all of them had the intention of killing.
Among the clouds and mist, there are three strange beasts from the mountains and seas that appear and disappear from time to time. Their huge eyes are half-opened, as deep as the sea, exuding the aura of the prehistoric times.
So many visions instantly stunned the entire imperial mission and the thousands of guards, as well as the people on top of the city in Bianning County.
Many Dharma ministers swarmed up. The ground suddenly shook violently, and a hurricane surged upwards. Many soldiers were thrown into the sky, and the imperial envoy's carriage was thrown hundreds of feet away and shattered on the ground.
After a while, the wind calmed down and the clouds subsided, and the land was in a mess. The imperial envoys, the escort soldiers and the horse bandits were all missing.
Sun Chaoen turned around at this time, and Shi Shiran returned to the county town.
Chapter completed!
