Chapter 289: The Gift of Meeting the Head of the Household
Three of the eight guards who had been hiding beside Princess Xu'er died. The rest rushed back to find Princess Xu'er, fell to the ground, and apologized repeatedly.
Princess Xu'er said, "You are doing a good job. I'm not injured. Why should I ask for a crime? When I go back, I will tell my brother to reward you." The little girl was kind-hearted. Seeing that they only had five people back, she knew that the three people were either seriously injured or died. Moreover, these people also had wounds on their bodies, and they were obviously fighting to the death, so she excused them first.
After staying for a while, a large number of troops from the city guard came, blocking the surrounding area, and then escorted Princess Xu'er back to the imperial city.
Because Zhang Zhexue and Mo Yanxiao were in charge of the Tianqi Mansion, the people in the city guards asked casually and ignored them.
Seeing Princess Xu'er leaving with the people from the City Guardian, Guan Gaosheng let out a long sigh, pulled Zhang Zhexue and Mo Yanxiao to find a restaurant, asked Zhang Zhexue and others to sit down, took a deep breath, and said, "Fortunately, Brother Zhang was aware of something today, otherwise Guan would be finished."
Zhang Zhexue smiled and said, "Zhang is also wrong. If I hadn't suggested that the little princess come here, I wouldn't have had these things."
Mo Yan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. These people's hidden skills are so good, even I didn't notice it. If there was no today's incident, who would know if they would find an opportunity to attack in the future? At that time, you might not be with the little princess, and that little princess is the real danger." He has now regarded himself as a person from Yuanji Sect. Since it involves the young sect leader of his mountain gate, his first reaction is to help his people excuse him.
Guan Gaosheng also said: "Brother Mo said it makes sense, but fortunately it appears today, otherwise things would not be predictable."
Zhang Zhexue didn't want to take credit, because he really raised this matter first today, putting a little girl in danger. He always felt a little disgusted, so he changed the subject and asked Guan Gaosheng: "Brother Guan, have you sent someone to investigate Yingfeng Pavilion?"
Guan Gaosheng smiled and said, "I was about to tell you about this to Brother Zhang. When I sent someone to Yingfeng Pavilion, the shopkeeper was no longer there. I asked the others, but the others didn't know. Therefore, Tianqi Mansion brought everyone there back to see if there were any hidden people inside."
Zhang Zhexue asked: "Do you know who did this matter?"
"Who else?" Guan Gaosheng pointed to the top and said, "The Third Prince is all stupid. The Third Prince was imprisoned in a secret place and was nothing more than a punishment. After the position of the Holy Emperor was settled, he would be released for hundreds of years. Now his subordinates are making such a mess outside. They are forcing the Holy Emperor to execute the Third Prince."
Zhang Zhexue and Mo Yanxiao both nodded, and Zhang Zhexue said, "If the third prince cannot succeed to the throne, then he must be the eighth prince, right?" Mo Yanxiao was also very interested in Zhezhe's problem and also looked at Guan Gaosheng.
Guan Gaosheng shook his head and sighed, "That's not necessarily the case. The key is that the Eighth Prince doesn't want to be this Holy Emperor. He feels that being the Holy Emperor is not free, so he recommends the Sixth Prince to take over the throne. He thinks that after the current Holy Emperor abdicates, the new Emperor will ascend the throne. He resigns from his position as Tianqi Mansion and travels around the world. He is also preparing to go to Madhya Grand 6 to see it. He also said that I will follow you. Alas..., my housekeeper has been promising for thousands of years, so how could I go with the Eighth Prince?"
Zhang Zhexue thought to himself: This ambition is similar to mine. I also want to wait until the Yuanji Sect stabilizes and go out for a walk. Haha, maybe I can have an appointment with this Eighth Prince at that time.
The three of them sat in the restaurant for only half an hour, and Guan Gaosheng said he would go back and explain to the Eighth Prince, so the three of them settled the bill and returned to the Tianqi Mansion.
At this time, the Eighth Prince knew everything he should know and had all dealt with. It was already arranged that someone would impeach the Third Prince in the morning court tomorrow. He must kill the Third Prince and then capture all his remaining forces in one go. Otherwise, if this continues, the Dongdu City may be in chaos.
After Zhang Zhexue returned to Tianqi Mansion, Cha Guangyun sent someone to invite him. He first thanked Zhang Zhexue for saving his sister, and then told him that he had reported this matter to the Holy Emperor. Maybe the Holy Emperor would summon him in the next few days and told him not to leave the imperial city for the time being. After a while, these matters were calmed down and then go back to the Eighth Prince's Mansion with him.
Zhang Zhexue also said that it was his own reason that made the little princess fall into danger, but Cha Guangyun's statement was the same as Mo Yan laughed.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince thanked him specifically and told him not to go out and wait for the Holy Emperor to receive him, he had to suppress his curious heart and resist thinking about the line of Chinese and English under the Dongdu City. He was afraid that the line of words would disappear when he went again, and he would regret it to death. He finally encountered news from his hometown. If it disappeared like this, he would regret it for many years.
The Eighth Prince Cha Guangyun gave the reward that Mo Yanxiao should have received when he escorted him back to Dongdu this time, and asked him, the young sect leader of Yuanji Sect, to Mo Yanxiao personally. Nominally, the Eighth Prince is also from Yuanji Sect now, but this relationship cannot be made public now, and perhaps he has to wait until he resigns from the position of Tianqi Mansion.
When Zhang Zhexue returned to his residence, he gave Mo Yanxiao something. Mo Yanxiao was also very happy. After all, he had prepared everything he had to deal with the tribulation. He just waited to return to Yuanji Sect with Zhang Zhexue to prepare for the tribulation. He had worked hard for nearly two thousand years, and when his life span was only a few hundred years, he finally reached the level of cultivation that could break through the Nascent Soul. As long as this level passed, not to mention whether he could become an immortal in the future, at least his life span could be increased by another three or four thousand years.
In the next few days, Princess Xu'er never came again. Zhang Zhexue estimated that she must have been confined to the palace.
Nine days later, Guan Gaosheng brought Zhang Zhexue the news that the third prince was deposed and then allowed him to live his life in the secret realm of the Cha family. Hearing this, Zhang Zhexue also felt a little moved. A monk was deposed and his life would last for a few decades at most. He really didn't understand. He was practicing, as long as he tried to live a longer life, why did he have to do so many things? Is the power of the Cha family not big enough?
The matter of the third prince finally settled down. Three days later, Cha Guangyun came to Zhang Zhexue in person and told him to go to the palace tomorrow afternoon to pay homage to the Holy Emperor and ask him to prepare well.
Zhang Zhexue didn't know what to prepare, so he asked, "Senior, what are you preparing for? Do you need to prepare a great gift? You can't just meet the Holy Emperor without any worries, right?"
Cha Guangyun laughed and said, "What are you preparing? Where do you need to prepare? You saved me and the princess. My father just met you to thank you. Otherwise, why didn't you see you in the morning court? You just wait until the afternoon to see you in the harem. The father wanted to see you as the head of the family, and he was not the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Qin State, do you understand?"
Zhang Zhexue curled his lips and said, "Senior, you don't understand this. If the Holy Emperor meets the younger generation in the morning court, then the younger generation really doesn't need to prepare any gifts. If you meet the younger generation as the head of the Cha family, then the younger generation will have to prepare some gifts. When you have seen the younger generation of the younger generation, you have to prepare some empty handed when you see someone else's senior generation. Of course, the younger generation does not know the customs of the Eastern Qin State, but there is such a custom in the hometown of the younger generation. Don't worry about the senior generation, the younger generation will naturally know what to prepare."
Cha Guangyun really doesn’t know if there is such a rule in the Eastern Qin Kingdom. He has also met other people’s heads, but with his status, who would tell him to bring gifts? The key is, even if he brings gifts, which family’s head dares to accept his gifts?
Seeing that Zhang Zhexue said this, Cha Guangyun didn't care about him anymore. If you want to give it, just give it away. Maybe my father would be quite happy.
When Cha Guangyun left, Zhang Zhexue greeted Mo Yanxiao and then left the imperial city. He thought that this gift from the Holy Emperor could not be given a storage bag. One is that it was very bad, and the other was that it had to hold a lot of things in the storage bag. He met the Holy Emperor as a junior, so he had to choose few gifts and be more refined. Even if it was only the same, the gift must be taken out.
When leaving the Imperial City, there is a shop for renting the Sea Pegasus opposite the Imperial City. This kind of shop is specially prepared for the servants in the Imperial City. When the servants in the Imperial City go out to do business or go home on holidays, they have to ride the Sea Pegasus. Therefore, business-minded people open a shop here, which specializes in renting the Sea Pegasus.
With the guidance of the guards at the gate of the imperial city, Zhang Zhexue found the shop, rented one casually, and asked the guy who was waiting for the Hai Pegasus to take him to the top treasure building in the Dongdu City.
Yingfeng Pavilion can't go to now. Since the shopkeeper ran away last time, Yingfeng Pavilion has been sealed yet. I don't know when it will be opened again.
Jubao Tower is the second largest treasure building in the Dongdu City. Since Yingfeng Pavilion was sealed, their business has suddenly improved. It turns out that old customers who often visit Yingfeng Pavilion have come here, so that they have insufficient staff to connect with each other. Therefore, when Zhang Zhexue entered Jubao Tower, he stood in the hall for a long time and no one paid attention to him.
"Hey, hey, I've been in for so long, don't even have anyone to greet me?" Zhang Zhexue called out to a guy who was about to run over him and asked.
The guy stood up and saw that Zhang Zhexue was just a cultivator at the beginning of foundation building. He felt a little unhappy and thought to himself: You are a small foundation building beginner who came to Jubaolou to join in the fun? Can you afford the things here? Now all the guests are welcomed, who is willing to receive you?
He despised Zhang Zhexue, but he still smiled on his face: "Senior, the store is busy now, and the youngest is also going to help others get things. You are sitting there for a while. After someone entertains the distinguished guests, someone will naturally receive you." After saying that, he pointed to a corner of the store, where there were many seats, which were specially for guests to rest. After giving instructions, he hugged his fists, turned around and was about to run.
