After listening to Lin Zheng's third condition, the emperor calmed down and said calmly: "Are you entertaining me?!"
Jin Zhizhong looked disappointed, and then asked Lin Zheng angrily: "The Red Army on the border has more than 600,000 soldiers and horses, plus the army's servants, there are no less than a million people. Please tell us how you don't need much time."
Just repel them?!"
Hearing this, Lin Zheng laughed and said: "You all believe that Dazhou will be able to eat food for several years. Why do you become suspicious of this kind of thing?!"
"The two are not the same. Food is goods. The world is vast. Maybe you can get food from other places. Although the hope is not high, it is still possible! The same is true for clothing. However, this army! Then
It is a killing machine. I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting on the border for more than ten years and have not been able to repel the enemy. And you just talk in vain and say that you can defeat the enemy. It will not take long. You are trying to defeat me.
Are all the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty regarded as nothing more than nothing, or do they regard themselves as omnipotent gods!? Do you think we should believe such lies that cannot withstand scrutiny?!"
Jin Zhizhong was furious. Lin Zheng gave them a beautiful expectation, but it was immediately exposed. This dream was just a scam. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It was difficult for Jin Zhizhong to control his emotions.
Seeing the emperor closing his eyes in disappointment, Lin Zheng said: "It's the same sentence. Whether it's true or not, we'll wait until the results come out. We didn't ask your majesty to help us first. If we really can't complete it,
As long as His Majesty doesn’t fulfill the promise he made, there won’t be any loss for Dazhou, right?!”
Hearing Lin Zheng's words, the emperor opened his eyes again and looked at Lin Zheng in surprise. Lin Zheng was right. If they lied, he would not suffer any loss, but if what he said was true,
, then Dazhou will easily overcome the biggest difficulty since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the price he needs to pay is just to help find something. This deal is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it!
After a slight hesitation, the emperor nodded seriously, "Okay! I will believe you just once!"
"I don't think you will be disappointed, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the confident smile on Lin Zheng's face, the emperor couldn't help but have a little more confidence in Lin Zheng. But when he thought of the absurdity of Lin Zheng's promise, the emperor shook his head with a wry smile, "I hope you really won't let me."
Be disappointed! At least, I hope you can bring enough food to Dazhou. As long as you can do this, I will help you find the treasure even if I dig deep into the ground.
!”
The situation in Dazhou was really pushing the emperor to the end. When he spoke to Lin Zheng, his tone even had a hint of pleading. You know, he was an emperor! An emperor actually wanted to do something for a seemingly vain person.
It is impossible to say that Lin Zheng and the others have no feelings for such a move!
Lin Zheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. Although Dazhou is not our motherland, we still have a special feeling for Dazhou. We will never watch Dazhou perish like this!" said
After finishing, Lin Zheng bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Then, let's take our leave now. We will come back when the food and clothing are ready!"
"I believe in your strength more and more. I hope you won't let me down!" After saying that, the emperor took out a gold medal and handed it to Xiao Huangmen, who then handed it to Lin Zheng. "Take this.
Come on! With this, you can enter and exit the palace at any time, and if necessary, you can use it to mobilize the palace guards!"
"Your Majesty! This..." Jin Zhizhong wanted to say that the emperor's move was too rash. The conditions promised by Lin Zheng were too absurd, making it difficult for him to fully believe in Lin Zheng's treatment of officials before adding him.
Jin Zhizhong had to worry about whether this boy had any ulterior motives for his cruel move. After all, with the gold medal in his hands, he could do a lot of things!
However, before Jin Zhizhong finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "That's it!" The emperor looked at Lin Zheng, "I'm waiting for your good news!"
After leaving the emperor's study, Lin Zheng's face looked a little solemn. Carrying the burden of saving a country on himself was not as easy as imagined. At this time, Xiaomeng whispered beside Lin Zheng: "Brother Shengun
, this emperor looks so pitiful!"
Hearing this, Lin Zheng's somewhat dull mood suddenly became much brighter. He smiled and touched Xiao Meng's head and said, "If he had half your luck, he wouldn't be so pitiful!"
Jin Zhizhong was very dissatisfied with the tone of Lin Zheng's words. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Even if you are not a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are you disrespecting the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty by so despising me?"
"Don't you think the emperor is pitiful enough?" Lin Zheng stared at Jin Zhizhong with interest. As soon as the words came out, Jin Zhizhong immediately hesitated, "You...you are using strong words to make sense!"
"Forget it!" Lin Zheng was too lazy to argue with Jin Zhizhong. From the looks of it just now, Jin Zhizhong is still a good official, but he is a little stubborn, which is rare in today's big week. Suddenly Lin Zheng thought of
He looked at Jin Zhizhong and asked: "By the way, what is the name of your emperor of Zhou Dynasty?"
Hearing his question, Jin Zhizhong's eyes widened. This guy didn't even know His Majesty's name, but he came here to make a deal with His Majesty?! How confused! How confused, Your Majesty! This guy must be a liar!
"Stop staring, don't you know it's weird? We are not from you Dazhou, why don't you tell me? If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else!"
Jin Zhizhong finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has great expectations for you. If you have ulterior motives, I will fight you to the death!" After that, Jin Zhizhong walked away, leaving the frustrated person in his arms.
Lin Zheng was a little resentful.
"This old man is so unreasonable!" Siniang said dissatisfied. She hated anyone who was rude to the master. "Can I go teach him a lesson, master?"
"Forget it!" Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, "He is just a weak old man. If you teach him a lesson, he will be finished!"
"Brother Shengun, what should we do now?"
"Go to Taihe City for a walk!" Lin Zheng touched his chin and said. It is difficult to judge someone's character based on personal impressions alone. Lin Zheng decided to inquire about the emperor in Taihe City to see what the people thought of him.
How is your evaluation, and then you decide to what extent you want to help.
Regarding Lin Zheng's decision, Xiaomeng raised her hands in agreement. Taihe City retained more of the style of the ancient capital, which made Xiaomeng feel very fresh. She wanted to play! Lin Zheng naturally knew what this girl was thinking. Seeing her
He was in high spirits, so he didn't expose her, smiled, took them with him, and left the palace.
"Hey! Boy, we're out!" Zuo Sanquan smiled and greeted Lin Zheng and the others, "How's it going? What kind of official title has His Majesty given you?"
Lin Zheng responded with a smile: "I have made you a great general!"
"Just blow it!" Zuo Sanquan laughed loudly, then lowered his voice and said in Lin Zheng's ear: "Those civil servants are waiting to cause trouble for you. You should be more careful when walking around the city.
!”
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo, for reminding me!" Lin Zheng still admired Zuo Sanquan's generosity. However, forget what those civil servants said. They could deal with ordinary people. If they dared to appear in front of him, Lin Zheng would be seeking death.
After bidding farewell to Zuo Sanquan, Lin Zheng and his entourage began to wander around the city of Taihe. Xiaomeng was like a lively sparrow, pulling Youxi happily through the market, seeing all the fun and delicious food.
Yes, fortunately, gold is also a precious currency circulating here, otherwise this girl would have eaten a king's meal!
There is a rumor among the merchants in Taihe City that a wealthy girl who is inexperienced in the world has come to Taihe City. She pays with gold coins to buy a sesame seed cake without having to find it! Such a wealthy fat sheep immediately became the welcome object that the merchants were waiting for.
.Looking at the enthusiasm of the vendors, Lin Zheng couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Sure enough, ordinary people don't know what a market economy is. Gold is precious because it is rare. If everyone has the same amount of gold in their hands, the purchasing power of gold will be greater.
It must go down! But forget it, Xiaomeng only spent a few gold coins, and it can't disturb the market in Taihe City. Moreover, thanks to Xiaomeng, the vendors are also very polite and enthusiastic when treating Lin Zheng, his brother.
, they knew all the information Lin Zheng needed!
After going all the way, Lin Zheng understood almost everything he wanted to know. The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was named Changsun, and the current emperor was Changsun Jin, with the courtesy name Youyu. Lin Zheng was quite surprised by this name. There were so many coincidences.
, the surname is Changsun, and the name is actually Changsun Youyu. Those who didn’t know better thought he was Yuxi’s brother! Although it was just a coincidence, Yuxi naturally could not have anything to do with this Changsun Jin, but it still made people feel close to each other all of a sudden.
A lot.
Fortunately, this eldest son Sun Jin did not disappoint Lin Zheng. Most of the comments about him as an emperor obtained from the people were positive. He was much more diligent and wiser than Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. From the time he ascended the throne to the present, he has been
For several years, he had been working hard to save this broken country. Unfortunately, the environment he faced was even worse than Chongzhen. No matter how diligent he was, he could not revive the dynasty that was about to collapse.
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Being an emperor is really tiring for the sake of Chang Sun Jin. From the time he ascended the throne to now, he has been working hard for this country all the time. It is a blessing not to be exhausted.
However, in fact, it was almost there. When Lin Zheng saw Changsun Jin, he discovered that he exuded a faint aura of death. Although he may not necessarily die of exhaustion, he was not far from death anyway. Maybe he had passed the time.
At the same time, Zhang Sunjin can also escape this disaster!
Just when Lin Zheng was lamenting about the unfortunate Chang Sun Jin, suddenly a group of arrogant policemen walked quickly away from the pedestrians. As soon as they saw these guys, the surrounding vendors and pedestrians immediately retreated, and the vendors did not dare to approach again.
Xiaomeng promoted his products because they discovered that these guards seemed to be coming for Lin Zheng and the others!
Seeing that everyone suddenly didn't dare to greet her, Xiaomeng suddenly became unhappy. After turning around and seeing the guards, she finally understood what was going on, so she pulled Youxi and ran to Lin Zheng and said angrily: "
Brother Shengun, someone is here to cause trouble again!"
As soon as Xiaomeng finished speaking, the commander in charge showed a sneer, then waved his finger and angrily shouted: "How dare you fool around in the market, come on! Capture this charlatan!"
"Yes!" A group of officers responded, and then quickly surrounded Lin Zheng and the others, each standing with a knife, ready to rush forward and chop Lin Zheng into pieces at any time.
Seeing that Lin Zheng and the others didn't react at all, the commander smiled secretly and pretended that Lin Zheng didn't dare to resist, so he shouted: "Take it down!"
However, after the commander finished shouting, the officers surrounding Lin Zheng and the others did not move an inch. The commander was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he shouted angrily: "Did you hear that?!
Get it for me!"
Looking at the commander whose face was red with anger, Lin Zheng just smiled, then stretched out his hand and pointed at him, "Chop him!" As soon as he finished speaking, the officers surrounding them immediately turned around and looked fiercely.
Di rushed towards the commander. Before the commander could react, the officer closest to him had already stabbed him through with a knife. When he screamed, the other officers' knives fell on him.
In the blink of an eye, the man was slashed hundreds of times and fell to the ground in a bloody mess. Such a bloody scene immediately frightened the people around him to turn pale and scream.
At this time, Lin Zheng raised his head and looked at a restaurant not far away. He saw several pale-faced officials at a glance. Under their frightened eyes, Lin Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at them. For a moment, this group of officials
The officer who had just chopped the commander to death immediately rushed towards the restaurant like a hungry wolf. Lin Zheng would not be polite to such a guy who wanted to bring trouble to him. He could do such a thing.
Yes, it won’t be a good thing anyway, I’ll kill a hundred of them!
"Brother Shengun, how did you control these people?" Xiaomeng asked in surprise as he looked at the officer running away.
"I don't have the ability to do this. In fact, it was Feite who did it." As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of panic and screams from the restaurant. Several high-ranking officials, under the threat of the guards, desperately
They jumped from upstairs to the street. Unfortunately, they overestimated their own health. When they jumped, they immediately broke their legs. As they screamed, several officers jumped from the stairs, then raised their knives and dropped them.
He chopped these guys to death in the street in two strokes. After looking at these guys, Lin Zheng turned around and said, "Let's go! I've had enough fun, let's go see how everyone's things are being purchased!"
Seeing Lin Zheng and the others leaving from the space passage, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief. The strange and bloody scene just now really frightened them!
"Monsters! They must be monsters!" someone shouted in horror.
But as soon as he said this, someone immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Monsters! Monsters eat people! Have you ever seen a monster give money to buy something without eating people?!"
"Then...then that...then what are they?!"
"Fairy! This must be a fairy!" someone vowed, "Think about it carefully, are the temperaments of those girls something that mortals can have?! They must be fairies in the sky! They must be! These incomparable
Liang's official servant dares to be disrespectful to the gods, he deserves to die!"
"Yes! Yes!" As soon as the words fell, a large number of people immediately echoed. Many people believed that what they saw was a god. Judging from their behavior and temperament, they were indeed more like gods.
Son, for a moment, many people knelt down on the ground and prayed devoutly, and the vendors who got the gold coins from Xiaomeng even regarded the gold coins in their hands as treasures. Even if others bid two gold coins, they would be dead or alive.
Don’t buy it, I’m going to keep it as a family heirloom!
When this news reached Jin Zhizhong's ears, the Minister of Rites suddenly had a headache. What on earth do those guys want to do?! Are they really just looking for some treasure in Dazhou?! If not, what on earth are they doing?
Is there any ulterior purpose!?
"Xiao Mo!" Xiao Meng came to Hongnan Square and called Xiao Mo's name happily. He stepped forward and handed a piece of cake to Xiao Mo's mouth, "Xiao Mo, try it. This is in Taihe.
I bought it in the city, it’s delicious!”
Hearing this, Xiao Mo smiled angrily and said: "We are busy collecting things here, but you guys actually went shopping on the street to buy food!" Seeing Xiao Meng giggle, Xiao Mo was stunned for a while.
He couldn't help but laugh, then he opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake in Xiaomeng's hand, and put it into his mouth. Xiaomo's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Well - it tastes really good!"
"Really!?" Seeing that Xiao Mo liked it, Xiao Meng became happy. After giving the cake to Xiao Mo, she gave it to others.
Liuli also got a piece of cake. After taking a bite, she said to Lin Zheng who came over: "Aren't you going to see the emperor? Why are you going shopping to buy food?!"
"I'm just going to investigate the emperor's reputation!"
"What's the result?"
"Not bad, just a little unlucky!" Lin Zheng said with a smile, "What's more! This emperor looks very interesting!"
Hearing this, Huzi stretched out his head and said with a lewd expression: "Isn't she still a beauty?!"
"If you want to be gay, you are indeed a great beauty!" Lin Zheng said with a teasing look on his face. After his beard was pinched by his best friend, he said: "This emperor! He looks exactly like the Qing Yi from the Forest of Mirrors.
, we were really shocked when we saw him for the first time!"
"Hey——!" Yang Qi showed a surprised expression, "Could it be that this emperor is the model copied by Qing Yi? But after those mirror demons complete the copying, won't they kill the model?!"
"Who knows, maybe they just look alike. Besides, the Forest of Mirrors is tens of thousands of miles away from Taihe City. As an emperor, he always feels that the possibility of going to such a place is not very high! By the way, you guess, this Zhou Dynasty
Emperor, what’s your name?!”
Seeing that Lin Zheng's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, everyone knew that the emperor's name must be very special. At that moment, Chunfeng asked curiously: "It's not called Zhu Youjian, is it?!"
"It's not the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Zheng said with a smile, "Forget it, let me tell you directly, this emperor's surname is Changsun, Changsun Jin, and his courtesy name is Youyu!"
"Changsun Youyu?!" After hearing this name, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Youxi. At this time, Youruo appeared out of nowhere and shouted in surprise: "Changsun Youyu? Youxi, that's yours
