The second prince Gu Kang was ashen-faced. He was deprived of the title of second prince and had to spend a year in isolation. This was a heavy punishment! It would have a huge impact on his future fight for the throne, but now he had no choice but to beg his mother. See
See if your father will calm down a little?
However, Gu Longtian announced it at that time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to change it. When Gu Kang heard Zhang Tao's name, he killed Zhang Tao countless times in his heart. On the contrary, Gu Weiran's face showed a faint smile.【,
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been beheaded immediately. Although Gu Kang was punished, he was the emperor's son after all, so he would not be sentenced to death.
Maybe Gu Long was really angry and disappointed with Gu Kang, but he didn't really want to punish his son. These were just a formality.
But the eldest prince showed a strange sneer, "I just want to see how long you can be proud of yourself?" I don't know who this sentence refers to?
At this time, Zhang Tao took the king back to Tianyue City, avoiding the city lord, and went directly to the palace. Wang Hongju, as the king's father, had always paid close attention to his son-in-law. He heard that his son-in-law had become a second-rank official and was in the imperial city.
With frequent meritorious service, his status in Tianyue City is getting higher and higher.
Even the city lord Qin Zhen treated him with courtesy. He lived a nourishing life every day, enjoying the compliments of others, and was in a state of elation. Isn't this what the life of a god is like? Isn't this what he has been pursuing?
So now when he saw Zhang Tao, it was as if he were seeing his own biological son, with a friendly expression on his face, and he wished that Zhang Tao could live in Tianyue City forever.
"Son, please stay with uncle here for now. I'll go see the teacher and the Master Jijiu." Zhang Tao said lightly. Now his relationship with Wang is extraordinary. Although he is unhappy with Wang Hongju's power, he doesn't look at the monk.
Buddha face, I have to give Wang Hong some face.
As for Lu Qianhao and Qin Huanran, they naturally stayed in the mansion and carefully sneaked into the bamboo forest. They were immediately caught by Yu Songtian, but the Zhang Tao now is no longer the Zhang Tao he was before.
A master can also have the strength to fight, and can easily surrender to Yu Songtian's control, and then stand in front of him with a smile.
"So it's you, kid? Are you willing to come back to see us?" Yu Songtian and Zhang Tao smiled at each other, and then hugged each other.
"Where is Master Jijiu now?" Zhang Tao asked calmly
"You are in the bamboo forest, I will take you there." Yu Songtian led Zhang Tao with a smile on his face.
However, when walking along the path in the bamboo forest, he bumped into Sun Yueqing. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Tao felt a little guilty. For her and Shiyun, Zhang Tao only felt guilty.
"So it's you who's back? I heard about your deeds in the Imperial City and I know you're doing well." Sun Yueqing became a little lighter, but the only change was that her eyes when looking at Zhang Tao became clearer. Maybe she really
Let go.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher." Zhang Tao smiled slightly.
Not long after, Dong Wudao came out. As the Supreme Heavenly Scholar, he was still in good health and looked nothing like an old man in his nineties. When he saw Dong Wudao again, he couldn't help but reminisce about the past, "Oh? So you are planning to go back to the village? That's right! You both
It's been several years since you came out, and your parents must miss you very much, so I won't keep you any longer, and you'll have a long time to come!"
Zhang Tao nodded, and after once again clasping his fists at the person who was kind to him, he left Haoran Academy! Next stop! Zhang Tao's destination, Changfeng Escort Agency!
Zheng Gongcheng and Xue Haitang have been developing Tianwen Mansion silently, both openly and covertly. In addition, Tianwen Mansion's funding sources are getting wider and wider, and now it is like riding on a shooting star, developing rapidly.
Zheng Gongcheng was Zhang Tao's elder, so of course he couldn't help but pay a visit when he was passing by. Not only that, he also took Wang with him. Zheng Gongcheng was very happy to see Zhang Tao finally found his beauty.
Of course he knew about Yuemei. He had been worried in his heart, fearing that he would not be able to disappoint Zhaolong's instructions. Now he had put aside all the worries in his heart. The seven-foot man had a successful career, extraordinary talent, and a bright future. At this time, he was accompanied by a beauty, and his life was complete.
, Zheng Gongcheng was extremely pleased.
"Yes, Tao'er, it's time for you to go back and see your parents. It's been so many years. If you've gone through the ages and forgotten your ancestors, don't blame Uncle Zheng for being ruthless." Zheng Gongcheng said half-jokingly.
Zhang Tao waved his hand quickly, "Of course not. If Tao'er is really such a heartless person, God will take me away before Uncle Zheng takes action."
Zheng Gongcheng nodded with satisfaction. He, Zheng Gongcheng, had no relatives in his life, and Zhang Tao was almost his half son, so he secretly helped Zhang Tao develop Tianwen Mansion and spared no effort.
The last stop was of course Tianwen Mansion. It was getting late and the silver moon was rising into the sky. After Zhang Tao showed his token and code words, he entered Tianwen Mansion!
The skirt was elegant and charming, even Zhang Tao was infected by this fiery impact.
"I didn't know that the master of the palace was coming, but the little girl Xue Haitang was really disappointed." Maybe it was habit, or maybe it was something else, but Xue Haitang liked to tease Zhang Tao very much.
With a wry smile on his lips, Zhang Tao immediately begged for mercy. "Just spare me."
Xue Haitang pursed her lips and smiled, looking Zhang Tao up and down with her beautiful eyes, "Has our eldest son Zhang fallen into the soft jade and stopped making progress? After winning the heart of the Wang family's daughter, his strength has not improved at all, and he still has not taken a step forward to become an innate master.
, how to help the little girl break through the orifice and become a heavenly warrior? You know, I am now a master of the Five Qi Dynasty."
Xue Haitang's words made Zhang Tao feel a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Xue Haitang to make rapid progress and surpass him in strength by so much. However, it is not so easy to become an innate master.
"It seems that the Tianwen Mansion's intelligence network is becoming more and more complete. You know everything about me in the Imperial City." Zhang Tao said with a smile.
Xue Haitang smiled again. "Outside the Ministry of Industry residence, countless servants shouted the word madam. I am afraid they could hear it clearly from two streets away. If our Tianwen Mansion doesn't know this, then we are in vain.
."
Zhang Tao was speechless, indeed! After introducing Wang as his wife, under the leadership of the housekeeper Wang San, everyone called Wang in unison, which was not surprising to people outside.
"Don't worry, when you become the innate master of refining the void and transforming the gods, if Zhang is an innate master, he will definitely make you become the Supreme Celestial Scholar in one fell swoop. He will never break his promise." Zhang Tao said seriously, practicing the Double Acupoint Breaking Technique by himself.
, I am becoming more and more confident about breaking the orifice.
Xue Haitang smiled charmingly, "The slave family is not worried about Young Master Zhang making a mistake, so why does Young Master Zhang need to swear so faithfully?"
Zhang Tao was helpless, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I came here to borrow money. I wonder if Tianwen Mansion is short of money recently? If it is loose, I think..." Zhang Tao was a little embarrassed, he was the master of the mansion.
But he has done almost nothing, and now he is asking for money.
Seeing Zhang Tao's embarrassment, Xue Haitang found it quite interesting, but she did not continue to tease Zhang Tao. "Don't worry, of course there is money, but I don't know how much the master of the palace needs?"
Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't need too much, one hundred thousand taels is enough." For a village like Taixiang Village, one hundred thousand taels is already a huge amount of money, enough for people to live a prosperous life and build defenses! Only these two are needed.
As we continue, Taixiang Village will naturally get better and better gradually, and Zhang Tao will also act accordingly to make Taixiang Village even better.
"It's a small matter, Mr. Zhang, just wait a moment." Xue Haitang shook the eye-catching Ao Ren ### and walked out slowly. Just looking at this fiery red figure made people hug him.
of###.
The 100,000 taels of silver notes were quickly brought, but the banknotes were just a stack of thickness. Zhang Tao easily put them into Misu Pagoda, "Thank you for your hard work. I may need to trouble you again in the future."
Xue Haitang gave Zhang Tao a charming look, "Since when did Mr. Zhang like to say polite words to Haitang? Could it be that after serving as an official for many days, he has become full of official accent and it is difficult to change it?"
Zhang Tao touched his head in embarrassment, "Okay, I'm going to make too many mistakes, so I'll leave first. If anything happens in the future, it will still be Xue Feng who will send the message." Xue Begonia nodded lightly, and Zhang Tao left with satisfaction and a huge sum of money.
Little did they know that Xue Haitang looked at Zhang Tao's back with a faint look in her eyes. Under the evening wind, the blood-red skirt was floating, which was breathtaking. It was a pity that no one appreciated such beautiful scenery.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!" Zhang Tao was about to see his parents who had been separated for many years, the village that had been there for many years, and the woods that had been there for many years. He was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a song.
On the second day, facing the red rising sun, Zhang Tao, Wang, Lu Qianhao, and Qin Huanran headed towards Taixiang Village. Although there was still some distance from Taixiang Village, Zhang Tao always had a smile on his face.
With the speed at which the four of them were traveling, they could arrive there in less than two days. However, the sound of carriages coming from far away came from far away, attracting the attention of Zhang Tao and others.
"Huh? What is this?" Soon, tightly closed vehicles passed Zhang Tao's carriage one after another. These vehicles were actually sealed with wooden boards and were airtight. There were only small gaps for air and a trace of light to enter. Not only that,
What worries Zhang Tao is that all the people escorting the carriages have extraordinary skills. "Are they all innate masters?" Zhang Tao's heart skipped a beat. This is such a big deal. There are actually ten innate masters in six large carriages. What family has such a big deal?
The underlying energy? Could it be an overseas family? Why would foreign forces enter Honghao Country? And it is such a remote place?
"Do you want me to go find out?" Suddenly Lu Qianhao whispered in Zhang Tao's ear. With his ability, he could dig out the things hidden inside and satisfy everyone's curiosity.
Zhang Tao shook his head solemnly. Now that he has returned to his hometown in glory, it is not appropriate for him to cause trouble. What do I care about other people's affairs? Why take the risk of offending others? Besides, the people behind this convoy must be extraordinary, so it is better for him to be careful.
