Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh between gains and losses
"Report to Duke Wu! The King of Yue has issued a decree that the enemy is attacking the city. Please return to Duke Wu to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible!"
Wu Xin, who was in excitement, felt depressed.￥f,
It is naturally impossible for Wu Xin to give up the countless treasures underground, especially the treasures left in various passages. However, Wu Xin was left behind in the Eastern Capital and the King of Yue gave him orders, so it was really impossible to disobey orders.
Although with this batch of wealth and treasures, Wu Xin initially had the capital to compete for world hegemony, he would not fall out with the Sui Empire so quickly. It was far from time!
"Lord! The enemy wants to capture the city wall while the treasure is holding us back. This time it should be a real siege, not a show!"
Mr. Mingji made some calculations with his mind and said solemnly. After a pause, he said in a vague voice: "My lord! I solemnly calculated a hexagram, which is the Shuizhejie hexagram. The hexagram says: When the time comes, joy will come, and Jiang Taigong will be on the stage to be deified."
At this point, all the gods have abdicated, even if there is misfortune, it will not be a disaster."
"Speak plainly!"
Wu Xin said angrily, not understanding what Mr. Mingji said at all.
This is often the case with hexagram fortune-telling, which always leaves people confused, and relying on guesswork can easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Based on the Shui Ze Jie hexagram, it means that the moon command is strong, the reputation is great, and if you are lost, you have faith, and official affairs are okay."
Mr. Mingji explained in what he thought was a relatively clear language. Seeing that Wu Xin still didn't understand, he continued:
"My subordinates suggest that the master does not need to leave in a hurry, but to seize the time to grasp the harvest. Since ancient times, treasures have been found in the virtuous people's homes. Being able to obtain the treasures itself represents a kind of luck. It is said that God cannot take it.
, and you are to blame. If the lord can snatch this treasure from Yang Xuangan, it means that the fate of heaven and earth is biased towards the lord, and then the misfortunes will turn into good fortune. If the lord gives up the treasure and does other things, it will be putting the cart before the horse!"
Wu Xin's eyes lit up and he asked: "Oh? Sir, what you mean is... the rebels can't attack the city wall?"
For Wu Xin, whether to leave or not was not a big problem. It was difficult for Yue Wang Yang Tong to punish him, so the emperor could only intervene in person.
If the war had not been lost, Wu Xin would naturally have no responsibility, and he would have trivialized the big issues and trivial matters, just disobeying orders. No one would care.
If the war fails and Wu Xin disobeys the order and fails to respond, the situation will be reversed and a small matter becomes a big deal, then Wu Xin's responsibility will be great!
"That's not true."
Mr. Mingji responded quickly and explained: "Based on my subordinates' calculations, this battle will be very serious and the city wall will probably not be saved. It will be useless for the Lord to rush back and it will not be able to change the overall situation. Choose the lesser of two evils and the greater of two benefits."
.Lord, there is no need to rush back!"
"This is an important matter for the country, and it should not be taken lightly! After all, it is one of our own. To be honest, sir, can these weird things be taken seriously?"
Wu Xin's heart sank. He looked at Mr. Mingji with strange eyes and asked. After a pause, he asked curiously: "Is it true that the rumors are true or not?!"
Mr. Mingji's face turned dark and he responded dryly: "Lord! What I have learned is a kind of ability in itself. The real literary ability is a manifestation of the laws of heaven's operation. It is not an illusory ghost myth. It is a kind of ability.
This is not the so-called superstition in the world!"
If it were not Wu Xin who was asked this question, but if it were someone else, Mr. Mingji would probably fall out!
"Curious! Just curious, nothing else!"
Seeing the usually calm Mr. Mingji react like this, Wu Xin knew he had made a mistake and couldn't help but explain.
After a pause, he consciously changed the subject and ordered to Uncle Hong, Ancestor Ben Lei and others: "Seniors, spread out and collect the treasures missing in the passage as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped up his hands, and tarpaulins of more than ten meters in size appeared. Wu Xin had obtained them from the enemy along the way. Fortunately, he collected them early and was not torn to pieces in the aftermath of the battle.
These tarpaulins should have been intercepted from military tents by the rebels. They are large and strong.
"What about the lord's safety?" Ancestor Zengkong asked hesitantly.
Wu Xin responded with a smile: "Don't worry! After this battle, others don't know. Don't you seniors still know my ability to protect myself? Besides, the underground enemy forces have basically been eliminated. What danger can there be?"
Everyone thought so, so they each took two or three tarpaulins and left.
Soon, only Hong Bo was left with Wu Xin, and the rest all left.
"Mr. Wu Guo?" The Lotus Shadow Guard, a eunuch with pale eyebrows who came to deliver the order, asked in confusion.
What is his identity? On the surface he is a palace eunuch, but in fact he is a Lotus Shadow Guard.
No matter who you are, when you come into contact with anyone outside the palace, they are always polite. However, this time, he was ignored by Duke Wu!
However, the relationship between Wu Guogong and Sui Xian's Eunuch Qiu was extraordinary. It was Eunuch Qiu who fought for the Duke of Wu Guo. He also had a very good relationship with his immediate boss, Eunuch Li. He was also favored by the King of Yue, so he really couldn't say anything.
Get angry!
"Ah? Sorry! Sorry! Everything is busy. Don't worry, my father-in-law. I will go back and report to His Highness the King of Yue. I will rush back at full speed!" Wu Xin pretended to be absent-minded and kept saying as if he had just discovered the existence of this father-in-law.
The eunuch with white eyebrows said with a smile: "The Duke of Wu Kingdom is busy with personnel, it is understandable, and our family is fine!"
"My father-in-law, go ahead and report to His Highness the King of Yue!" Seeing that he refused to leave, Wu Xin couldn't help but urged him bluntly.
"Yes! Then Mr. Wu Guogong should return to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. The Eastern Capital cannot do without Mr. Wu Guogong!" The white-browed eunuch sighed secretly, then turned and left quickly.
"Let's go! Uncle Hong, stay away and try not to let anyone get close to you!"
Although Wu Xin possesses a treasure in storage, which is not a big secret among the great monks who entered the underground this time, Wu Xin still will not abuse it openly and make others jealous.
In addition, no one should know what treasures were collected, lest it spread, which would make it difficult for Wu Xin to go underground. After all, guessing and knowing are completely different things!
Although Wu Xin decided not to rush out, the speed was still much faster.
After a stick of incense, Wu Xin returned to the underground city along the road...the Temple of the Emperor Beast!
At this time, in the vast Emperor Beast Temple, countless figures were shuttled back and forth. They were the Qi Refining Powerhouses who had followed in before. There were two to three thousand people, and they were working hard to collect the temple's relics. Li Shimin was in charge.
As soon as Wu Xin appeared, Li Shimin recognized his interest and came to see him. After all, he was Wu Xin's true subordinate and was different from others.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you receive any information about the enemy's attack on the city?" Wu Xin asked, frowning in obvious displeasure.
"Uh... I will go immediately."
Li Shimin's expression froze, and he immediately broke into a cold sweat and answered quickly.
He is the person in charge of the East City Wall appointed by Wu Xin. Due to his emotions and reasons, he should have gone out to take charge of the overall situation long ago. It's just that he was dazzled by countless treasures before and was reluctant to leave.
"Hey...whatever you need, your father and eldest brother are here. Just ask them to bring it to you, or you can just ask me for it! How can you abandon public service for personal reasons and lose big things for small things!" Wu Xin said frankly with disappointment.
He shook his head and sighed.
"My subordinates resign!"
Li Shimin's fair and handsome face was sweating, and he quickly bowed to ask for instructions. He paused, reluctantly looked at the various treasures piled up in the vast square in front of the temple, and quickly summoned his close associates to leave.
Wu Xin came to the square and saw countless items, classified according to gold, silver, books, weapons, materials, elixirs, foreign objects, etc., piled up in dozens of places.
The most eye-catching thing is a several-meter-tall, burly, majestic golden statue of an emperor with a dark golden body, standing proudly looking at the sky with bare hands.
The golden statue is lifelike, and the emperor's power still overflows, just like a real person in front of him. People can't help but feel a sense of worship and submission, and a feeling of arrogance and unparalleled power.
In addition, countless bricks, pillars, sundries, etc. were piled up in several conspicuous piles. They turned out to be floor tiles, pillars, domes, etc. from the temple. Even the bricks from the altar were dug out. These were all strange things.
It is made of different kinds of iron and is worth a lot of money as a raw material!
At this time, there were more than a hundred strong Qi refining experts and several god refining ancestors at the edge of the square, guarding everything to prevent looting. In this regard, Li Shimin did a good job.
However, it has not been really registered yet, and the really good things have basically been taken away by the enemy, and the remaining things are either missing or of low value.
"Golden Emperor Statue?!"
Wu Xin saw the lifelike and astonishing golden statue of the emperor at first sight. He ignored the many guards and quickly approached it, waving his hand to collect it.
When Wu Xin received the Martial God inheritance, he once "lost" the Martial God statue, and he became more aware of the importance of the statue, especially for Wen Xiu, who can be said to be the core of the practice.
"..."
Many guards had seen Wu Xin a long time ago, but they just didn't dare to stop him. The golden statue, which weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, suddenly disappeared. They were surprised and had some thoughts, but no one noticed it and said anything.
Anyway, this golden statue is treated as a pile of gold. Naturally, no one is willing to have a grudge against Wu Guogong for some gold.
The guards stared blankly, but Wu Xin waved to them, took the initiative to contact them and gave instructions:
"Any books related to foreign countries are prohibited books. You can pick them out and hand them over to me for separate disposal, but they are not allowed to be circulated! If others obtain them, they must also hand them over!"
"What about other items?" An ancestor named Li Lian Shen asked hesitantly.
If Wu Xin remembers correctly, this is a tribute from one of Li Tang's princes. Now that he is sent as a guard, he can still be trusted!
Wu Xin thought for a moment and then euphemistically ordered: "Register other items as soon as possible, including ancient books on martial arts, etc., and the recipients will allow them to be copied. It is best to keep them! You are responsible for this matter."
On the one hand, it is to show his innocence, and he will not covet these wealth and treasures; on the other hand, he does not need to come forward, so he naturally does not need to offend others.
Things are different now. Wu Xin is now focusing on winning people's hearts. It would be best if he doesn't offend others!
"Yes!" Senior Monk Li's eyes lit up and he responded happily, then turned around and ordered people to do things.
With Duke Wu's oral instructions, it will be much easier for them to do things, and they can also make profits from it, and get a few more top-notch or rare magical books!
On the surface, Wu Xin was indifferent to countless treasures, but his spiritual consciousness was spread out, quietly paying attention to various items, and occasionally collecting individual treasures from the books.
Regardless of whether other people are aware of it or not, they all choose to ignore it tacitly, and many even turn around deliberately to show that they don’t know anything!
"Whoosh..."
While Wu Xin was making selections in a muffled voice, a swift and violent sound of wind blew up, and the white-browed eunuch returned like the wind, saying anxiously and anxiously:
"Mr. Wu Guogong, something bad has happened. The exit is blocked! Now the east city wall has basically collapsed, and the east capital is in danger!"

The second update is here. Shadow is moving house these days, so the update time is a bit messy, but no less at noon and evening. Sorry! (To be continued.)
