Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

inside the car.

Zhang Ronghua smiled bitterly, are you here so soon? He opened the curtain, got out of the car, and asked, "Waiting for me?"

"Yes." Ding Yi looked serious and nodded heavily.

There are many people around and it is not the place to talk.

He waved his hand and asked Uncle Shi to go back first.

After entering the Suzaku Gate, find a corner to stop.

Zhang Ronghua asked: "What happened?"

"Brother, you don't know?"

ponder for a moment.

Zhang Ronghua thought about the recent events, which had basically been resolved, leaving only the matter of Yanleizhu, and asked tentatively: "Is there any news from Wangtian County?"

Ding Yi was convinced, with admiration on his face, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's my brother who guessed it so quickly."

Said the matter again.

As the team led by Cao Zhao of the Chitian Palace arrived in time, the battle on the Black Dragon Road, with the help of the power of the Flame Thunder Bead, killed 30,000 enemy troops and some strong men. On the other side of Wangtian County, Zhou Yuanba was killed , 40,000 enemy troops were destroyed and 30,000 were destroyed, and the remaining people fled. The lost Gupo Town and other territories were also snatched back and fell into the hands of Daxia again, planting the black dragon war flag.

"Brother, the news came back that the Flame Thunder Bead is very powerful, much stronger than the Sky-shattering Thunder."

"Already tried."

After a pause, Zhang Ronghua asked: "What are the losses on our side?"

"Nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured in Heilong Road, and 8,000 were killed and injured in Wangtian County. Overall, compared with the 60,000 troops lost by the Shang Dynasty, it is much better."

This is inevitable.

Although the Flame Thunder Bead is powerful, it is limited to the soldiers and low-level warriors below. In addition, the time is rushed and the number of refinements is limited. It is rare to achieve such results.

Another point is that the Shang Dynasty also used spiritual objects. In addition to the Fire Thunder Beads, there were other powerful spiritual objects. Even if they were suppressed by Daxia's firepower, they would still cause casualties in the counterattack.

Zhang Ronghua asked again: "How did you know?"

Ding Yi touched the back of his head and smiled proudly: "Have you forgotten? I am from a general family."

boom!

Above the nine heavens, a silver-white thunder pierced the sky without warning, intending to strike down and destroy everything. As the thunder appeared, dark clouds gathered, strong winds blew, and dust and fallen leaves were blown.

After taking a look, Zhang Ronghua sighed: "It's going to rain again."

Ding Yishen nodded with the same feeling. There was a lot of rain during this period, and it rained every now and then, which was very annoying. He added: "General Shen Yuanxiao hastened to report and begged your majesty to refine more Flame Thunder Beads and prepare to capture the rest." Half of the state, he bit off a piece of meat from the Shang Dynasty."

"It's not rude to come and go. It's not our character to be beaten passively. The Shang Dynasty brought the flames of war over and let them feel it."

"Brother, do you think His Majesty can really agree?"

"I will definitely refine the Flame Thunder Bead, go all out, work overtime, and launch an all-out war to capture the remaining half of the state. The defenders from Wangtian County alone are not enough, and we have to mobilize troops from the Donghuang Camp. Considering many things, for a while, a large-scale battle should not be fought. Most of them would let Shen Yuanxiao integrate Moxia's army and the defenders of Wangtian County, leaving some soldiers and horses to guard, lead the remaining army to attack, and then attack from the east The Huang camp mobilized a large number of troops and set up camp in Wangtian County to sit in command for them and slowly encroach on the remaining half of the state."

Ding Yi is very smart. He knows everything about the general family. The battle that breaks out in a full-scale war is far more than what it is now. The troops invested by both sides are at least millions. It is very simple to mobilize troops. Troops are mobilized from the Donghuang Camp. But the logistics, auxiliary support, food and grass, spiritual objects, formations, etc. are not ready yet. If a war starts at this time, even if it has the upper hand, it will be very disadvantageous!

Daxia is not an enemy of the Shang Dynasty. There are hundreds of tribes of true spirits and ferocious beasts, plus monsters and monsters, as well as some small countries. They have not made a complete plan. It is not bad to win. Once they are at a disadvantage or defeated, these guys will be worse than jackals, tigers and leopards. Even more terrifying, a swarm of swarms rushed up and bit off a piece of flesh and blood from Da Xia's body.

Take another step back.

Even if you are ready, you will not start a full-scale war against the Shang Dynasty. You will first destroy the surrounding small countries, incorporate them into the territory, improve your own strength, and be able to prevent them from launching cold arrows at critical moments. Then you will get rid of the demons, ghosts, etc., and then you will launch a dynastic war. , wiped out the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop and killed all the royal members, leaving only the queen mother, empress, concubines and princesses.

"A war of attrition?"

"En." Zhang Ronghua nodded.

"The refining cost of Flame Thunder Beads is low, easy to carry, and powerful. Let Shen Yuanxiao take action to hold back the Shang Dynasty. If they send a large army to annihilate them, they will retreat. If they don't send a large army, they will attack the city and seize the territory. Kill them all, rob them all, move them away, and nothing else. If we don’t stay, the Shang Dynasty will definitely become anxious as time goes by, and no matter how we deal with it, they will fall into the trap we set.”

Ding Yi chuckled. The refining cost of the Fire Thunder Bead was much greater than that of the Flame Thunder Bead, and its power was a bit weaker. It was really a stalemate. No matter how rich the Shang Dynasty was, it would still be dragged to death. He asked again: "Don't you want the city?" "

"Why do we need it? We don't know how to build it? Steal all the people, wealth and cultivation resources, and drag the men to do hard labor. As long as they can't die, they will work to death! All the women will be thrown into the Jiaofang Department, or other What is the purpose of defending the empty city? Waiting for the Shang Dynasty to attack and destroy the troops? "

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and heavy rain can fall at any time.

Zhang Ronghua greeted: "That's almost it. Go in first and talk later."

Entering Tianwei Gate, go up Ziji Avenue, go all the way to the outside of Ziji Hall, enter from the side door on the left, and stand in the queue of engineering troops.

Come with him.

The surrounding officials, some well-informed people, have already received the news and know that Yanleizhu has shown great power in Wangtian County, severely damaging the Shang Dynasty army and killing 60,000 enemy troops. As the person in charge of refining, this must be How much credit? I felt envious and sour in my heart, because he had taken all the benefits by himself.

Ignoring the strange looks around him, Zhang Ronghua stood upright, like a sharp sword, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, paddling the water and fishing for fish. He would not move as long as he was not called or it involved matters related to their faction.

As time goes by, a few minutes pass.

Eunuch Xiao came in with two eunuchs and closed the Ziji Gate and the two side doors. The sound of closing the door "beep" sounded, and everyone was shocked, secretly thinking that the real drama was coming.

Looking up, under their gaze, heavy and powerful footsteps came from behind, with a certain pattern, and like a huge oppressive force, passed into the heart, the oppressed people could not breathe, Emperor Xia was wearing A golden silk dragon robe, with a majestic gaze, pointed directly at people's hearts, exuding huge pressure, walked up from behind with his hands behind his back, Wei Shang followed closely with two eunuchs, but the prince was still missing.

Zhang Ronghua's heart moved. Could it be that his energy has not recovered yet?

Depress this in advance and discuss it later.

Boom boom...

A huge roar of thunder resounded between the sky and the earth. Nine thunderbolts were like fairy flowers, falling from the nine heavens and impacting the surroundings, covering the entire sky. A large amount of rain poured down, rushing down. It was fierce, hitting everything, the wind roared, and a low, suppressed dull sound came out.

Baiguan cursed secretly, what a bad weather!

On the imperial stage, Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair.

Wei Shang took a step forward, with a tense face and cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to do, leave the court!"

Xu Shidao stepped forward, stood out from the queue, and saluted: "Your Majesty! The Flame Thunder Bead refined by Zhang Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry exploded with huge power in the battle in Wangtian County last night, annihilating six enemy troops. Wan, conquer the lost Gupo Town, etc., I suggest that we should be rewarded heavily!"

Pei Caicai came out of the queue, saluted and said: "I second the proposal!"

His faction, as well as the prince's power in the court, plus Xu Shidao's power, including the power cultivated by Zhang Ronghua himself, all stepped forward.

For a while.

Nearly one-tenth of the people in the court came out!

Baiguan was shocked. In just a short time, Zhang Ronghua possessed a huge power that could not be ignored.

It's not over yet. Yan Lei Zhu has established its power, and the military has benefited the most. Firstly, it was used by them, and secondly, they share the same hatred with the enemy. Wangtian County's army annihilated 60,000 enemies. Although they did not go to the battlefield, they could see so many people killed. There are many enemy soldiers, and they are happy in their hearts. Even if they have any thoughts, they will not show it at this time.

It’s not worth offending Zhang Ronghua! Judging from his talent, if he can refine Flame Thunder Beads, he may be able to refine other powerful spiritual objects. The stronger the spiritual object is, the greater the contribution they will make when the war starts, and the number of dead and injured soldiers will be greater. The less.

He immediately stood up and agreed with Xu Shidao's suggestion. Almost one-third of the officials in the court came out.

No one can ignore such a huge power, even Emperor Xia must treat it seriously.

When the neutral faction saw that the general trend was established, they were just outsiders. They acted according to the opportunity. If there was any benefit, they would take advantage of it. If there was no benefit, they would follow the trend. They immediately stepped out and proposed a heavy reward!

Only the prince's faction, Mr. Cui Ge and other hostile forces were left. Although they were tired and wished Zhang Ronghua would be defeated and did not want him to get any benefits, they had no choice but to follow the crowd and agree, not to mention how aggrieved they felt.

Emperor Xia spoke, and a solemn and majestic voice resounded in the main hall: "Zhang Ronghua has made great achievements in refining the Flame Thunder Bead. He has made Zhang Qin the doctor of Xuanhe and Zheng Rou the loyal and kind wife. He has been rewarded with a shop on Zhuque Avenue, a thousand taels of gold, and a jade Ruyi." Yes, ten pieces of fine silk!”

Doctor Xuanhe and Mrs. Zhongshan are of the fifth rank. They only have honors but no power. Those who have not made major achievements have no chance to get them.

Even though Zhang Ronghua only got a store on Zhuque Avenue, the actual benefits were far more than a little power.

Just in time for the night chat that night.

When you were young, you were proud of your father. When you grow up, your father will be proud of you!

Zhang Ronghua came out and guessed that he would not be promoted. Unexpectedly, His Majesty gave the reward to his parents. It was an unexpected joy. He bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia smiled slightly, with a gentle smile on his old face, and then said: "Three generations of loyal people, I will give you a plaque of loyalty!"

boom!

All civil and military officials were shocked, this reward was even greater!

Although it was just a plaque, it was of great value. Jian Zai was in the emperor's heart, and her eyes changed when she looked at Zhang Ronghua, wishing to replace it.

The eldest prince and the others, Cui Ge Lao and the others, clenched their palms tightly together under their sleeves. The enemy's power expanded further, but they could not stop it.

Emperor Xia waved his hand: "Step back!"

Zhang Ronghua returned to the queue and continued to stand.

The matter of Wangtian County has not been brought up in the court. It should be started. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for forging, the Ministry of War formulates the plan, and then Tianji Pavilion completes it and finally submits it to Emperor Xia.

The people in the court are multi-minded, and there is no guarantee that there will be details about the Shang Dynasty, involving major military affairs. If the plan is foiled, if you are prepared in advance, it will be a huge loss for Daxia.

The next things to discuss are other government affairs.

After half an hour.

The court meeting is over.

Zhang Ronghua noticed that five pavilion elders and six ministers of Tianji Pavilion were retained. He smiled inwardly and guessed it.

He nodded and said hello to Chen Youcai, Lu Junxiu and others.

He led Ding Yi out of Ziji Palace, took the umbrella from Eunuch Xiao, and walked towards the Ministry of Works.

Arrived outside the courtyard gate.

Huang Zhongdao stayed here for a while. When he saw them coming, he rushed forward with a flattering and enthusiastic face: "I've seen you, sir!"

Zhang Ronghua was obviously holding an umbrella, but he also used it to block the back to prevent the heavy rain from getting the adults' clothes wet.

Entering the yard, he stopped in the corridor and placed his umbrella on the side.

With a shock of luck, he evaporated the rainwater on his body, pushed open the door of the palace, stepped in, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Huang Zhongshi was very discerning and without being asked, he took the teapot and made tea. Then he poured two cups of the brewed tea, placed them in front of them, and waited beside them with his body hunched over.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, it is getting harder and harder, and the thunder continues.

Zhang Ronghua sighed: "It rains a lot this season."

Holding the tea cup, he held the tea lid for a few times, took two sips, then put the tea cup down, looked at Huang Zhongshi, as if he knew what he wanted to ask, and briefly told what happened in the court.

"Congratulations, my lord! Leave a lot of money on your qualifications. After a while, you will be able to make further progress in a short time."

smile slightly.

Zhang Ronghua asked, "How did those people below react?"

It refers to Cui Jiancheng calling 10 million taels to purchase elixir.

Huang Zhongshi said: "Except for the R\u0026D Hall, the Material Hall and the Improvement Hall, the remaining five departments are going crazy. They allocate so much quota at once. Not to mention doing work, even the quality of the food has also been reduced. I can't wait for a cent." The money was broken in half and used. After two days of fermentation, the voice of dissatisfaction became louder and louder, and trouble could occur at any time. Cui Jiancheng also understood this and hid in his room and did not dare to come out for fear of encountering something unexpected."

The eyeballs rolled around.

"How about a subordinate..."

Zhang Ronghua smiled. This person is not capable, but he can do things well, and he is very good at figuring out what he wants: "Heavy rain is not bad!"

Wave your hand and let him go down.

If you realize it, you will realize it. If you don't realize it, it means it is of no use.

"yes!"

Huang Zhongshi retreated, closed the palace door, and stood at the door, looking at the heavy rain in front of him. It was dense and fast, and the strong wind blew up with a huge sound. It fell on his body with a faint pain.

Thinking of what the adults said, "Heavy rain is not bad", it is obviously very short, only four words, combined with what I said, my eyes lit up, and I knew what to do.

in the palace.

Ding Yi said: "Brother, can he do it?"

Zhang Ronghua shook his head: "Don't underestimate anyone."

"What to do next?"

"Read the rest of the book."

"!!!" Ding Yi had black lines all over his head.

In addition to reading or reading, can't you have some other fun?

Suggested: "Drink in the sky at night?"

"Another day! There is no time this time."

Standing up from the chair, Zhang Ronghua warned: "Don't rush to break through, continue to polish the foundation, and break through to the Xiantian state in two days."

"I see."

Open the hall door and leave, and walk towards the book hall.

Ding Yi was not idle either. He went into the inner room, sat on the blanket, took out a six-hundred-year-old elixir and drank it, running the Nirvana Supreme Life Skill and refining it, nourishing the meridians, body and soul, improving the potential, and adding a little more. life.

…

Fuguifang.

Zhang Ronghua's home.

lobby.

Zhang Qin and Zheng Rou were sitting across the table, one was drinking tea and playing chess alone, and the other was embroidering with embroidery, threading it on and around, with skill and skill. Half of the embroidery was already done, like a phoenix, spreading its wings for nine days, circling. fly.

The heavy rain has not stopped since the morning, but has become heavier and heavier. Zhang Qin put down the chess piece and cursed in annoyance: "It's not going to end, right? It just rained two days ago, and it rains again!" Can't you stop for a while?"

Thinking of Zhang Ronghua being on duty today, he muttered to himself without lowering his voice: "I don't know what His Majesty will reward!"

Zheng Rou raised her head and glared at him angrily: "Don't worry about it."

Zhang Qin became interested, as if he had found the speaker: "Will Qinglin be promoted?"

mention son.

Zheng Rou became interested. She put down the embroidery, thought about it for a while, and said, "I was just promoted some time ago. How long have I been in the Ministry of Industry? I only refined one Flame Thunder Bead, and I haven't completed the qualifications yet. It shouldn't be possible."

He gave her a hard look.

Zhang Qin said angrily, "Can't you say something nice?"

"If you can get promoted if you say good things, I say every day, let Qinglin become a Sangong as soon as possible, and then marry Hongling back home."

Live in Bengbu!

Zhang Qin couldn't take it anymore. He took a sip from the tea cup and was about to continue playing chess. Guard Zhang Feng ran in from outside in a hurry. He didn't even take an umbrella and let the heavy rain hit him. He looked excited and his face was full of excitement. Laughing like a flower, she shouted as she ran, "Master, madam, someone is coming from the palace."

He walked quickly into the lobby, and just about to speak, Zhang Qin interrupted roughly, and gave him a hard look: "What's wrong with panicking? Can't you be more stable?"

Zhang Feng didn't seem to hear it, and said quickly: "There are people from the palace, the leader is Eunuch Xiao, read out His Majesty's will!"

Huo Di!

Zhang Qin seemed to have a spring under his buttocks, stood up like lightning, and pushed him away: "Then you didn't say it earlier!"

With a little step on his feet, he used all his body skills and rushed outside.

Zheng Rou reminded: "Umbrella..."

It's gone.

His Majesty sent a decree that she should go there too. After leaving the lobby, the maid held an umbrella to cover her from the heavy rain and walked outside.

Arrived at the front yard.

Zhang Qin happened to meet Eunuch Xiao who came in, leading a group of Imperial Guards, one of whom held an umbrella for him.

Eunuch Xiao's tense face gave way to a knowing smile, and he pointed inside: "Go inside to receive the order!"

"En." Zhang Qin responded.

With a quick glance out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a human emperor guard holding a plaque in his hand, covering it with a red cloth and protecting it with his inner strength to prevent it from getting wet from the rain. He was curious in his heart as to what was written on it, so he suppressed his doubts. Leading the way to the backyard gate, he met Zheng Rou who was coming over. He said hello and entered the lobby.

Eunuch Xiao took out the imperial edict from his arms, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Qin and Zheng Rou accept the edict!"

The two hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Opening the imperial edict, Eunuch Xiao read out: "By God's blessing, the Emperor of the People has issued an edict... If you educate your children well, you can confer Zhang Qin as Doctor Xuanhe and Zheng Rou as Mrs. Zhongshan. You will be promoted to the fifth rank. You will be loyal to three generations, and you will be given a plaque of loyalty!"

I've been retired for several years, can I still get promoted?

Come to yourself.

Zhang Qin's heart was filled with excitement, his blood was burning, and he smiled happily. If there were no outsiders, he would have laughed loudly and happily, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He stood up from the ground and took the imperial edict and the matching official uniform.

There is no need to go to court or do anything. You get a salary every month. Although the money is small, is this something that money can measure? Furthermore, they are not short of money. Although their current wealth is not rich, with the daily income from the six industries, they are making a lot of money every day. Even in the capital, it is considered average. This is an honor, the highest honor. Money can't buy it.

The Human Emperor Guard stepped forward.

Eunuch Xiao took off the red cloth, revealing two big golden characters "loyalty", which were majestic and unique. With everyone's style, supreme majesty and domineering, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally mentioned this. Character!"

boom!

Zhang Qin was shocked again. He looked at the plaque in disbelief and thought a lot. It seemed that Yan Lei Zhu was a big deal and his contribution was exaggerated. Only then could he get these rewards. Having this plaque would bring many benefits. As long as the Zhang family makes no mistakes, they will be able to achieve great success!

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his inner excitement and hurriedly directed people to let Zhang Feng and his guards hang the plaque on the front wall.

Wave.

He ordered the people to get ten silver notes, two hundred taels each. The money was not much, but the money was thoughtful, and he distributed it to the ten imperial guards.

Seeing their hesitation, not knowing whether to accept it or not, Eunuch Xiao smiled and said, "I still haven't thanked Dr. Xuanhe!"

The ten imperial guards clasped their fists and said, "Doctor Xie Xuanhe!"

Eunuch Xiao waved his hand, signaling them to step back and stay outside.

Zhang Qin also asked people to leave, and they were the only ones left in the lobby.

Eunuch Xiao said with a smile: "Qinglin has made great contributions this time. In addition to these, there is also a shop on Zhuque Avenue, a thousand taels of gold, a pair of Ruyi jade, and ten pieces of fine silk cloth. These things will be valuable later." , and it will be handed over to him.”

Zhang Qin poured the tea, took out the Lingcha Kubodhi tea, brewed another pot, poured two cups, and handed one cup over: "As I guessed, Qinglin was promoted too quickly, even if he has meritorious service, he will not be promoted. There will be other rewards, but unexpectedly they fall on our heads."

"This is also a helpless move!"

After chatting for a while, there was still something to do in the palace, so Zhang Qin got up and sent him out of the palace.

Looking at Zhang Feng, he ordered: "Send someone to Rujia Restaurant to inform He Bao that there will be no visitors at noon, and ask him to prepare demon meat. The master wants to treat guests."

"I'll do it now, little man!"

Wave your hand and let him leave.

Entered the lobby.

Looking at the official uniform of Doctor Xuanhe on the table, it was light red, with delicate small trees embroidered on the chest and exquisite workmanship. Zhang Qin couldn't help it. He took off his clothes and put them on on the spot. Then he put on his official hat and stretched His face and temperament changed, becoming serious, compelling, and powerful. The majesty he had in the Dragon Guard back then came back, and he asked in a deep voice: "How is it?"

Puchi!

Zheng Rou couldn't hold it back, she broke her guard directly, covered her mouth and smiled sweetly.

…

Department of Spiritual Research.

Book Hall.

I read more than half of it last time, and there are still some left. After coming, Zhang Ronghua continued to look at it from the previous point, very fast, ten lines at a glance, and in a few breaths, he finished reading the page. The things that live in it, then comprehend it, and do two things at once, like a high-speed rotating machine, increasing one's own heritage, and one book after another passes through the hands.

After half an hour.

Ding Yi ran over quickly and knocked on the palace door: "Brother, open the door quickly."

Zhang Ronghua frowned, could it be done so quickly? Put down the book, walked over, and opened the palace door.

Ding Yi greeted: "Let's go!"

After leaving the palace, he walked along the corridor and headed inside.

for a while.

Stopping here at the corner, I looked at the yard in front of me. It was crowded and dark. People were everywhere. Ignoring the heavy rain, they stood in the yard. The crowd was excited, waving their fists and shouting: "Cui Jiancheng, get out!"

The sound was so loud that even the thunder from the sky could not cover it up.

Zhang Ronghua leaned on the wall, folded his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled unkindly: "It's not bad."

Ding Yi sighed: "This is a talented person. He can do all this in such a short time. It's really difficult for him."

Speak out your concerns.

"Brother, will something happen?"

"All the money in the five professions has been used up, and people still have to carry out work. What's wrong with coming here to ask for money?"

"Hey! There's something good to watch now."

As time went on, the remaining people from the five professions rushed over after receiving the news. People in the courtyard were crowded, shouting, and using all kinds of unpleasant words. They gave birth to a son without an asshole, and gave birth to a daughter with no butthole. Prostitution for prostitution...!

Everyone gets angry after hearing this, let alone the person involved.

in the palace.

Cui Jiancheng's face was livid, his eyes were cold, and he could drip a lot of water even if it wasn't crowded. He looked outside and saw some people hurriedly banging on the door, making violent noises and cursing. He felt aggrieved inside and wanted to vent, but failed. There was no way, and I was also very scared, afraid of rushing in and hurting myself. I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around uneasily, thinking of ways to solve it, but there was no way.

His confidant Qian An blocked the door of the palace with his body, preventing them from rushing in. The panic in his heart was written on his face. If he knew the current situation, he would not come here even if he was beaten to death. He hid far away and waited for the five professions. After the quarrel, come to comfort and show loyalty. Now it's too late to regret.

"Get out! Don't hide like a turtle in there!"

"Damn it! Give us back the credit!"

"Are you still a human? Have your conscience been eaten by a dog? If you can do such cruel things, why won't the thunder from the sky strike you to death!"

Intensifying.

Seeing that Cui Jiancheng did not show up, the anger of the five departments has not subsided, but has intensified. Everyone understands that if there is no trouble, there will be no money this month, and their own work cannot be carried out, and they will have to eat dirt. See what other people like and drink.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a serious fuss, even if it can't be solved, but what if it happens? Even just a little bit is better than eating dirt!

Punishment?

D! There are so many people, and some of them have factions behind them. How can the higher authorities hold them accountable? Even if it is dealt with, there is an excuse to ask for money to carry out the work.

Zhang Ronghua couldn't afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to take action on him.

They are all old foxes, their abacus is clattering, and they take all possibilities into consideration when doing it, so that this scene can happen. Otherwise, even if Huang Zhongshi instigates it, there will be no trouble.

Slapping the temple door and knocking on the windows.

Feeling the huge impact from the palace door, with the help of the door bolt, Qian An could hardly stop it, and asked in a panic: "What should I do, sir?"

Cui Jiancheng also wanted to ask what to do! Ask for help from Shi Dailong? The lessons learned from the first two times were still vivid in my mind. He was almost beaten to death. Even if he didn't add insult to injury, how could he risk offending so many people to save him?

Even if they take action, the anger can only be quelled by taking money to replenish the amount used. The Ministry of Industry does have such a large sum of money. No matter how much it is, it can be used. It has plans and other uses.

If Shi Dailong dares to use it, other departments will cause trouble, and the scale will be even greater than it is now. He will be the one who will be affected. His head has not been kicked by a donkey, so how can he ask for trouble?

Seeing that he didn't speak.

Qian An continued, he was so sick that he sought medical attention: "Why don't we call the Golden Scale Xuantian Army from outside?"

"Your special horse is a pig? How could the Golden Scale Xuantian Army not know about such a huge movement? They haven't come yet, and they are afraid of being involved in this matter, otherwise the beating will be in vain!"

"Then, what should we do?"

Feeling angry and furious, Cui Jiancheng cursed: "How do I know!"

When people outside heard the word "I", they immediately ran away! As for what was said next, it doesn't matter anymore. Someone suggested: "Break open the palace door, go in and ask for an explanation from him!"

Just do it.

The fighting power that some old guys unleash is terrifying, especially when they hit their own people or their immediate superiors, with double bonuses, they attack the palace door crazily, once, twice... and some even smash the windows.

Qian An's pressure doubled. Every time they kicked, the palace door shook violently. The door panel swayed, and it looked like it wouldn't last long.

Cui Jiancheng panicked, pushed the table over and blocked it behind, trying to prevent people from outside from coming in. It was a drop in the bucket, but it still had no effect at all.

boom!

The window suddenly shattered, and some people jumped in through the window, menacingly, with fire in their eyes. When they saw him blocking behind the table, they were so angry that they rushed forward without caring about anything, and roared: "Give us back our money! "

Cui Jiancheng was so frightened that he still dared to stay where he was. He had only one thought, and quickly ran away and rushed inside.

"Where to go!"

One person saw the opportunity and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground. The remaining people rushed forward, ignoring him and just wanted to vent their anger, punching, kicking and beating him severely.

"It's none of my business..." Cui Jiancheng struggled, trying to explain. But in the middle of his words, a big foot stepped down roughly, interrupting all the rest of his words. His front teeth were also broken, which was painful. He screamed uncontrollably and rolled over and over on the ground.

Qian An was so scared that he almost peed. He was afraid that he would end up like this, so he didn't block the door. He rushed into the room in a hurry, glanced at it, and hid under the desk.

A bang!

The palace door was smashed into pieces at this time, and people from outside rushed in. Looking at Cui Jiancheng being pushed to the ground and beaten, their eyes lit up, and they quickly rushed forward and beat him to death.

The palace has limited space and too many people to accommodate, so we can only do it in batches. When the people in front get tired, replace them and continue!

At some point, Cui Jiancheng fainted and was beaten to wake up again, over and over until his body was covered in blood.

in the corner.

Ding Yi was proud and smiled jokingly: "He is considered useless. From now on, the Lingyan Department will become your territory."

Seeing no movement nearby, he turned his gaze suspiciously.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "Wait for Shi Dailong to take action!"

Ding Yi shook his head: "It's impossible not to know about such a big news! He hasn't come forward yet, so he should be given up! How can a person who has no use value pay the price?"

"Cui Jiancheng is his man, but now he is in trouble! He doesn't even show his face. His prestige has been greatly damaged. Who will dare to serve him in the future? Even if it is just a formality, he will come over."

Ding Yi thought it was right, looking at the fierce scene in front of him: "Would you beat him too?"

"Won't you know it after reading it?"

As time went by, a quarter of an hour passed.

The people in the courtyard were all angry. They looked at the unconscious Cui Jiancheng and looked at each other. He was beaten, but the matter has not been resolved. They will have to drink northwest wind this month.

The atmosphere was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

quite a while.

One person asked: "What should I do?"

"Would you like another beating?"

"Can you make some money?"

Be quiet again and ask for money from above? I wonder if I don't have the face and the ability to do this. This month has just started, and there are still more than 20 days before the end of the month. How can I survive for such a long time? You can't stare at other people's delicious and spicy food, right?

I wanted to retreat but couldn't, and the stalemate continued.

The torrential rain fell on the ground, and the raindrops shattered and splashed around.

An angry voice came from outside: "Master Shi is here!"

With a cold face and gloomy eyes, Shi Dailong led his confidants into the courtyard, surrounded by a group of Jinlin Xuantian Army to prevent accidents.

Seeing him coming, the people around immediately moved out of the way.

Entered the palace.

Looking at Cui Jiancheng who was lying on the ground, he was disfigured, his face was swollen like a pig's head, even if his mother came, he would not be able to recognize him, his official uniform was stained red with blood, and he looked very miserable.

Withdrawing his gaze and looking at them coldly, the huge official authority suppressed them, and he was angry in his heart! I didn't want to come here, but after thinking about it, I came anyway. As Zhang Ronghua said, if something happens to one of his people, he is still at the home court without even showing up. What do the people below think? Doesn't that mean he has a heart of stone? Who will do things carefully in the future?

Afraid of accidents, he brought a team of Jinlin Xuantian Army.

Facing his gaze, everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly.

The effect has been achieved.

Shi Dailong said coldly: "I already know about this matter, go back first, and let you know when there is news."

Some people backed down and wanted to leave. After all, this was the Right Minister, not comparable to Cui Jiancheng. However, the five chief clerks did not leave. They did not believe what he said. A person from the hostile faction stood up and called Li Feng: " Since your lord knows about this, why don't you come up with a specific plan?"

Shi Dailong looked at him coldly, majestic, domineering, and with great pressure. With just one glance, Li Feng panicked and subconsciously looked away. Thinking of the instructions above, he suppressed his fear and faced it bravely.

Eyes facing each other.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I don't dare!"

"It's gone! Go back and wait for news."

Everyone did not leave and still stayed in the main hall.

Shi Dailong was furious and very angry! The words that came out were even colder: "Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right and they would cause trouble for themselves if they stayed any longer, some people took the lead to retreat, but they all stood in the corridor and did not leave. The others slowly moved towards the outside, slower than a tortoise crawling.

Li Feng dropped a bombshell: "Supervisor Cui is your man. Instead of solving the matter, he delays it again and again to cover for him. This is how you deal with things? How can you convince the people below?"

Being provoked one after another.

Shi Dailong was also angry, and a big hat was put down: "On duty, not doing business, beating the superior, and dare to question the injustice of the officer."

The conversation was cold and sharp.

"Take him down! Hand him over to Dali Temple for interrogation, pry his mouth open, and see if anyone is behind his back, messing with the Ministry of Industry!"

Two Jinlin Xuantian soldiers stepped forward, each grabbed a shoulder, and took him down.

It's okay to question Shangguan, and it will be hidden at most, but he beat Cui Jiancheng and let it go if he didn't come out. He pretended that it never happened, and now he comes out and confronts Shi Dailong. This is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

The people around were panicked. There are factions of people who are more stable than old dogs. They can be moved, unless all the people involved in this matter are taken down. Once this is done, the five goalkeepers of the Lingyan Division will be paralyzed, and the people behind them will also. Come forward and have a fight with Shi Dailong.

Subconsciously, he quickened his pace and wanted to leave.

Li Feng continued to speak, and did not give up until he reached his goal: "The lower official is just asking for money for his job! What's wrong? Without money, let us drink northwest wind this month?"

Looking at the people leaving.

"If you don't settle the matter today, you don't want to see a single child!"

Everyone thought it was reasonable and it was easy to leave.

What will you do after you go back? Job expenses require money, and work also requires money. If you don’t have money, how can you stare blankly?

He stopped, turned around, and looked over again.

Shi Dailong endured to the limit and wanted to rush up and beat him up. He suppressed his unhappiness and faced their looks, and had to come up with a charter to resolve the matter.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "The Ministry of Industry doesn't have much money. Let's allocate one million taels first and wait for a few days until I can report it to Mr. Mingfu and come up with a feasible method."

One million taels for five professions, 200,000 taels for each profession. Compared with the two million taels previously allocated to each profession, there is a full difference of 1.8 million taels. Let alone a few days, I am afraid it is two days. It’s all hard.

After making some money, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they stopped and started to disperse.

Looking at Li Feng.

Shi Dailong squinted his eyes, like a cold and poisonous snake: "Send him to Dali Temple!"

Two Jinscale Xuantian soldiers escorted Li Feng and walked outside, letting the heavy rain hit him.

Look at Cui Jiancheng again.

Forced by them to make a compromise and temporarily suppress the matter with one million taels, Shi Dailong couldn't wait to vent his anger, waved his hand, and had the palace door closed.

Unable to hold back any longer, he rushed forward and punched and kicked him while he was unconscious...!

in the corner.

Zhang Ronghua looked away: "The play is over, let's go! Go back."

Walking towards his office hall.

Arrived outside the palace gate.

A human emperor guard stood at the door, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. He took the initiative to greet him, cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met these two adults!"

Zhang Ronghua asked: "What's the matter?"

"By order of the Fire Ancestor, I will let you pass now."

"Ancestor Fire is looking for me?"

"yes!"

Zhang Ronghua was thinking about something, but there were too few clues to guess.

Give me an order.

"I'll go over there."

Ding Yi nodded, entered the palace, took the elixir and continued practicing.

The Imperial Guard led the way out of the Ministry of Works and walked towards the depths of the palace.

This is not the first time that Wu Ku has come here. Counting this time, it has been three times. Outside the courtyard gate, the Human Emperor Guard stopped and made a gesture of invitation: "The Fire Ancestor is waiting for you inside!"

Zhang Ronghua nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

There was no guard in Nuoda's courtyard. There was a chair placed outside the arsenal gate, and the Fire Ancestor was lying on it, wearing a gray robe, with his eyes closed, letting the heavy rain fall, and still being unable to get within three feet of him.

Walking closer, he bowed and saluted: "I've seen the Fire Ancestor!"

Fire Ancestor opened his eyes and sat up from the recliner. He looked kindly and pointed at the ground casually: "Sit."

The area was empty, not a single chair.

Zhang Ronghua simply squatted down and sat down on the ground.

Fire Ancestor smiled even brighter and was quite satisfied, and asked: "How is your practice of the Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Technique?"

"The second realm is slightly successful."

"Alas!" Fire Ancestor sighed.

I know that Zhang Ronghua is very busy and has many things to do, but the little guy's talent is so good, but it is wasted!

"I'm calling you here this time to give you a blessing. If you can understand it, the Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Technique can go one step further and break through to the three realms."

"Thank you Fire Ancestor!"

With a flip of his hand, the Fire Ancestor took out a heart from the Sumeru bag. It was golden in color, contained huge pressure, and beat very regularly. He threw it over and introduced: "This is the ancient powerful man that I accidentally obtained. The heart contains the understanding of Tao.”

Zhang Ronghua took it and solemnly put it into the Five Dragon Yuling Belt. Just as he was about to say thank you, Fire Ancestor casually waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

He bowed again and walked outside.

Return to the Ministry of Industry.

As soon as he entered the hall, Ding Yi finished his training, stood up from the ground, rushed up quickly, closed the hall door, and asked impatiently: "Brother, what does the Fire Ancestor want from you?"

Zhang Ronghua didn't say anything. He took out the heart and powerful pressure came out. Ding Yi's cultivation level couldn't resist it. Under this pressure, his legs bent uncontrollably toward the ground, and he was about to kneel on the ground. Zhang Ronghua took action, suppressed the aura above his heart, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"A heart so strong?"

"There is still some Tao charm left in the heart of the ancient strong man."

Ding Yi understood that nothing related to "Ancient" or "Tao" was ordinary. It was normal to have such a huge power. He smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, brother, you can take a step forward this time."

Zhang Ronghua shook his head: "Understanding the Taoist rhyme recorded in it, the cultivation level will not be improved, but the Xuanhuang Kaitian Kung Fu can be further advanced."

"I will protect you!"

"En." Zhang Ronghua responded.

Into the room.

Sitting on the blanket, assuming a practice posture with five hearts facing the sky, inject a piece of Xuanhuang True Yuan into the heart, let it float in the air, and start refining it by running the Xuanhuang Opening Heaven Technique.

With the refining, the scene turned and appeared in the ancient world. A strong man stood on the mountain with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a golden robe. Although his face could not be seen, the aura he exuded was very huge and affected people. The surrounding world.

The earth shook, beating violently, and the ferocious energy swept across the sky and covered the earth. There was a terrible pressure, as if it was going to destroy the world. Countless black spots rushed over, and when they got closer, they could see clearly that they were ferocious beasts. There are thousands of them, and each of them is very powerful.

The man in the golden robe smiled contemptuously, feeling free and easy. He didn't take them into consideration. He stepped forward and appeared above the group of ferocious beasts. With a flick of his sleeves, he didn't use any magical powers. He only relied on his understanding of the Tao to face the wind in a flash. , transformed into thousands of feet in size, and wherever it passed, all the ferocious beasts were loaded in. After one second, he waved his sleeves again and threw their corpses out, and the scene disappeared.

Zhang Ronghua understood with his heart, and the terrifying talent was running, he built a model in his mind, decomposed the golden robe man's use of Tao when he took action, disassembled it, integrated it into himself, and became his own thing.

The golden light rotated and illuminated him. With every passing minute and second, the aura emitted would increase by one point. I don't know how long it took before all the Taoist rhymes recorded in his heart were understood and turned into little bits of golden light and dissipated.

boom!

The Xuanhuang Kaitian Kung was shocked, breaking through to the perfection of the three realms, and became more powerful during operation. On the existing basis, it doubled, reaching a terrifying level.

After finishing his practice, he stood up from the ground.

The aura on his body has been stabilized, and he is restrained again, and his appearance is only at the seventh level of the Grand Master Realm.

Go out from inside and see him coming out, Ding Yi asked: "Brother, how is it?"

Zhang Ronghua said with a smile: "Xuanhuang Kaitian Kungfu has broken through to the third level of perfection."

"Has your cultivation improved?"

"No!"

After patting him twice on the shoulder, Zhang Ronghua said again: "The improvement of the cultivation state will benefit a lot, so don't be greedy."

Ding Yi touched his head and smiled.

"You continue to practice. There are still some books left in the book hall. After I finish reading them, I will integrate the Lingyan Division tomorrow."

After leaving the palace, I arrived at the book hall, and continued to read the book just now.

The day passed in a blink of an eye.

When I was on duty, after a quarter of an hour's delay, Zhang Ronghua put down the last book in his hand. So far, he has read all the books here.

Stretching and moving his body, he heard the sound of thunder, like fried beans. With a smile on his face, he looked at the restless Ding Yi, as if there were bugs biting his butt, and said hello: "Go back."

Huo Di!

Ding Yi stood up abruptly, and said excitedly, "Brother, you finally finished watching."

He left the palace and walked outside.

Walking on the palace road, he still didn't give up and asked, "Brother, are you really not going to heaven and earth?"

"I have something to do later, so I won't go tonight! Please inform me that tomorrow night, I will treat you to a guest in heaven and earth, and invite Chen Youcai and the others to get together."

"good!"

When they arrived at Zhuque Gate, they separated.

Zhang Ronghua walked towards the East Palace, he had to check on the prince's situation.

Arrive at the East Palace.

The new East Palace Guards Lieutenant General Feng Jianxiu stood guard at the door and respectfully saluted with clasped fists: "I have met you, sir!"

"Yeah." Zhang Ronghua nodded.

go inside.

Feng Jianxiu followed, found a deserted place, quickly took out a list and handed it over, and then left.

Zhang Ronghua did not check immediately and went all the way to the bedroom.

Qing'er stayed here, as if she guessed that he would come, and smiled slightly: "Here he comes."

Judging from his expression, the prince's health should be better.

Zhang Ronghua asked: "Is Your Highness sleeping?"

"No!" Qing'er shook his head.

"His Highness has given instructions to go in directly when you arrive."

She stretched out her jade hand, pushed the palace door open, waited for him to enter, and then closed the palace door.

The formation has been put away.

After entering, he stopped by the bed. The prince leaned on the head of the bed with a pillow behind his back. His face was rosy and he was breathing naturally. He was much better. Judging from the situation, he would be back to this in two or three days.

Zhang Ronghua bowed and saluted: "I have met His Highness!"

The prince smiled softly and waved. Shuang'er moved a chair and said, "Sit down!"

Wait for him to sit down.

Then he said: "Father gave Gu two 5,000-year-old elixirs, as well as six-level medical skills that are close to the Tao. Gu's body is almost healed, and he will be fully recovered in two or three days."

"That's good!"

The prince said again: "I have heard about your matter, and you have done well! It's a pity that you are not qualified enough to go further. Otherwise, no matter what you say this time, you will be promoted to another level."

"The minister is already content."

"What are your plans next?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "What happened in Gupo Town this time has impressed me a lot. Since I'm sitting in this position, I should do something. Although I can't go to the battle to kill the enemy myself, I still have to inflict heavy damage on the Shang Dynasty. When I go on duty tomorrow, Integrate the Spiritual Research Department to transform and strengthen various existing spiritual objects, focusing on armor and weapons. Although the existing weapons are good, they are still a little weak. If they are sharper, they can be chopped with one strike. Opening the enemy's armor can inflict fatal injuries and reduce their combat effectiveness, thereby killing them with one blow and reducing the losses of frontier soldiers."

The prince sighed: "I am determined!"

"This is what I should do."

"How about playing a game with me?"

"Your body?"

"No problem!"

Zhang Ronghua stood up from the chair and sat on the edge of the bed.

Knowing his ability, the prince was not polite. He took the white piece first, held one between his two fingers, placed it on the chessboard, and asked casually: "Has the matter of Ma Ping'an been arranged?"

"Death is a big deal, leaving three people, a mother and a daughter. After all, they are colleagues. I want to come to my door and watch them fall into the hands of the bad guys. I can't live with my conscience!"

The prince said: "When I heard about this, I sent someone over. When they arrived, the original mansion was empty. After asking around, I found out that you had come forward to arrange for them to work in the first store of Qingyun Inn."

He dropped the white piece and continued.

"Although Ma Ping'an's ability to do things is not good, Gu has treated him with utmost benevolence and righteousness. He was transferred from Donggong to Dongcheng County Yamen as a county lieutenant, which is a high-profile job. With the team left by Chen Youcai, he is still unable to gain a firm foothold, which makes Gu very disappointed! "

Zhang Ronghua did not answer.

"Your current status is no better than before. You can't have only one housekeeper in Nuo Da's house. I will give you Shuang'er to take care of your daily life!"

Zhang Ronghua's expression remained unchanged, he put down the sunspot and said calmly: "Your Highness, have you forgotten? Ma Ning and Ma Jing are good, they can be trained enough to do the job."
