In the afternoon of the next day, after lunch, Cheng Qiao left the palace.
When a monarch travels, the pomp is naturally not small, and the pomp and circumstance of Cheng Qiao, the current king's parent and son, is even greater. However, Cheng Qiao does not want to be too public, and specially ordered to travel in a low-key manner. Even so, there are many soldiers on the surface, but secretly Dark men lurk.
Soon, Cheng Qiao arrived outside Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion. The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had already received the news, had been waiting for a long time and respectfully handed over the things Lu Buwei had ordered.
In the spacious and luxurious carriage, Cheng Qiao took what Xiu Niang handed over, three tokens and two pieces of paper.
There was paper in the Mingyue during the Qin Dynasty, but the paper was very expensive and even the small nobles could not afford it. The court could not use it to replace the bamboo slips. It could only be circulated in a very small area. Anyone who could afford the paper had the power to use it. Not vulgar.
The tokens are one large and two small, oval in shape. They are all made of top-grade blood jade. The blood shines like it is made of condensed blood. It is magnificent and evil!
The largest token is engraved on the front with a black spider entrenched on a black spider web, with pale eyes. On the back is engraved with a white spider entrenched on a white spider web with dark eyes, representing the supreme power of the web, which can simultaneously Command heaven and earth net.
The other two smaller tokens have only one side engraved with a spider, and the other side is blank, representing the Command Sky or the Earth Web.
Cheng Qiao played with the three tokens for a while, then picked up two folded white papers and unfolded them respectively. The first white paper recorded important people on the Tianluo Di Net. The names recorded on it were basically the same as the list presented by Zhenri. , but there is no hidden trap character.
The second piece of white paper was a land deed and a house deed. Lu Buwei gave him a mansion next to the main official residence of the imperial court. It was quite small, with eight front and back yards in total. It was in an excellent location and was worth thousands of gold. , definitely a big deal.
"Go to Chaoque Street, Jixianfang, and tell Luo Zhen to cover the sun, Xuan Jian, and Frightened Salamander to come and see me."
After saying that, Cheng Qiao put away the token and paper, sat cross-legged and practiced silently.
Seeing this, Xiu Niang cautiously walked to the carriage, opened the door curtain, and tried to lower her voice to give instructions.
Soon, the carriage started again and left the Lu Mansion smoothly thanks to the superb driving skills of the palace charioteer.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped. Cheng Qiao, who had just completed the Five Thunders Zhengfa for a full circle, opened his eyes, gathered his strength, stood up and left the carriage, refused support and the ladder, and jumped off the carriage.
"Zhong Qian, don't do this in the future, I don't like it."
Cheng Qiao glanced at a young eunuch of medium height, wearing a crown of wisdom, a light brown straight train and a wide embroidered robe, with a smile on his face.
"Here, this slave is dizzy." The young eunuch's smile disappeared and he said with some fear.
"Okay, I won't do it next time."
The young eunuch breathed a big sigh of relief, and the horse slapped the horse's hoof. Fortunately, he did not fall out of favor, and the young master was still nostalgic.
Zhong Qian is the head of Ji Que's chamberlain. Unlike Xiu Niang, Xiu Niang was carefully selected by his grandmother and mother to be his personal maid and has been with him since she was very young. Zhong Qian was promoted by Cheng Qiao single-handedly. He is also a confidant, but his status is slightly inferior to that of Xiu Niang.
After beating the clock a little, Cheng Qiao looked at the mansion given to him by Lu Buwei. It had tall red doors, wide steps, tiger-shaped stone carvings, and high eaves carved walls. It was full of wealth and majesty, and it was extraordinary at first glance.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Cheng Qiao raised his feet and walked into the mansion, bypassing the tall and gorgeous screen wall. In the courtyard, a large number of male and female servants were kneeling, their heads lowered and knocked on the ground, not daring to make any small move.
In this world, although ministers have more dignity in front of the king, slaves have no dignity and are completely the private property of their masters.
The Qin State was better than the Six Kingdoms in this regard. At least they could not deprive slaves of their lives arbitrarily. At least they had to find a reason. They were fined for killing slaves for no reason. The nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not need a reason to kill slaves and there was no punishment at all.
Lu Buwei gave him this mansion, and these male and female servants were naturally included, which was a small addition.
Cheng Qiao III was a human being, so he naturally had no good impressions of the slave system. Even if he was reincarnated with excellent skills in this life and could be aloof from birth, the influence of the memories of the previous two lives is indelible.
Although you are a prince and the Lord of Chang'an, there is still no good way to deal with the trend of slavery. The opposition is too strong. If you want to change, you need power and an opportunity!
"I am very happy to have a new home today. I will reward each person with two hundred baht."
When you meet for the first time, you should not be too approachable. As the saying goes, if you are close, you will be disrespectful, and if you are far, you will be resentful. As a superior person, you must grasp the tone well, so you can just express your kindness and friendliness with a little meaning.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"..."
When the male and female servants heard that there was a reward for them, they also felt Cheng Qiao's kindness to them. They were overjoyed and kowtowed, thanking him in a rather messy way, but this was true.
Cheng Qiao didn't say anything more, just admired the scenery of the house and walked slowly to the main hall of the front yard. Xiu Niang personally held a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
As a young master of the Qin Kingdom, safety has been a top priority since childhood. The new male and female servants who have entered the house have not yet gained trust. The elderly in the palace have always been responsible for the food and drink, and no one else is allowed to get involved.
Cheng Qiao held the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance left in his mouth, and the aftertaste was sweet. It was still a familiar taste. Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. It still makes sense.
"Your Majesty, people have arrived."
Zhong Qian walked into the room softly and bowed respectfully.
"Let them come in, and don't leave. There's something going on."
"Here."
Zhanri, Xuanjian, and Jingyu quickly stepped into the room silently, without any sound of footsteps. If they hadn't seen people, they would have thought that no one had come in at all.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed and saluted.
Zhenri wears an ordinary web costume, which is the most common spider web costume in anime.
People who have the code name of hiding the sun are very low-key. This one likes to wear ordinary spider web clothes, and the one in the anime likes to wear ordinary Qin army clothes.
Xuan Jian is wearing a dark blue outfit with red splicing, a black belt, and neat leggings. He has black hair tied casually with a red ribbon on his forehead, leaving a few strands of hair flying around with the red ribbon. He is unrestrained and uninhibited. Without losing tenderness.
The only thing that differs from the anime image is that he wears a half-black and half-white mask on his face.
The Frightened Salamander wears a slim-fitting metal battle suit with purple and white stripes. Its legs and right arm are covered with fish scale-like armor. The fish-shaped pattern on the breastplate complements the style of the Frightened Salamander sword. Its snow-white slender legs are covered with thin black Wrapped in iron mesh, face mask with silver face mask.
Except for being slightly shorter in stature, there is no difference from the anime image.
"Get up, there are no outsiders here, just find a place to sit and have tea."
The three of them stood up and sat down under Cheng Qiao. Of course, they would not sit casually, but according to their status in the net and their respective strengths.
Yanri is the first person on the right, Xuanjian is the first person on the left, and Jingyu is the second person on the right.
As for Xiuniang and Zhong Qian, there were no seats. After all, it was a very formal occasion. They stood beside Cheng Qiao, one on the left and the other on the right, listening to instructions at any time.
