Chapter 23: The Goddess of Luck of the Magic Cloud Empire
None of the ministers stood up. If they were asked, it would be impossible, but they would be happy to object. The situation is now an extremely sensitive period. The emperor's words also meant that he wanted to protect Li Yuan. Prime Minister Wu wanted to save Li Yuan.
Son, if your opposition not only offends the emperor and Prime Minister Wu, but also offends Prince Mingde, then there will be no need to mess around after offending all three major forces.
"Since no one objects, it also means that everyone is in common, right? If you object, please stand up and remonstrate." The emperor declared again.
There was silence, and they said they did not want to offend the three major forces, and there was also a seemingly inconspicuous force, that is, the Li family. If they opposed the Li family, they would definitely offend them.
"I've got it right. Everyone will hand in their books in the morning tomorrow. Anyone who is late will be dealt with according to military law." The emperor said solemnly.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly. They thought that they had no objection. As long as Li Yuan did not hand in the letter, Li Yuan would not be able to enter. The emperor said that if he delayed, he would be decapitated. Even if he came out to object now, he was just seeking death. The emperor had already opened his mouth.
To ask the emperor to break his promise is to deceive the emperor. No one can bear such a big crime.
"Brother Leopard, let him go." Li Yuan smiled in his heart. It didn't matter if Wu Yinxiong let him go. He was his own defeated general, and the seeds of failure were sown in his heart. Even if he was ten times more powerful than himself in the future,
He didn't dare to start a war with himself. Since Wu Yinxiong was nothing to be afraid of, there was nothing wrong with letting him go.
"Yes!" Li Bao kicked the struggling Wu Yinxiong off the ring, stretched out his powerful arms triumphantly, and shouted: "Wow! Ha! I, Li Bao, am so brave. I captured a fourth-level magician alive.
Who in the Moyun Empire dares to compete with me?"
Everyone laughed. It was inevitable that Li Bao would be so excited. After all, it was rare to be captured alive, especially to show his face in front of so many powerful people.
"Haha! Go away!" The emperor laughed.
"I'll take my leave!" The ministers who lost the money left with a wry smile, leaving the ministers who won the money to go to Princess Xinrong to collect the money with a smile. They deeply regretted why they had bet so little, if not for the fact that they were Prince Mingde.
They will definitely buy Wu Yinxiong's victory, but they cannot betray their team for money, otherwise they will die. But they cannot be stingy with their bets. They have made a lot of money, so they are naturally happy.
The minister who received the money also left. Li Yuan excitedly hugged Princess Crescent and cheered, and left happily.
Princess Xinrong was left smiling and clicking the magic crystal card, cheering.
The emperor did not leave. He awkwardly walked up to Princess Xinrong and said very softly: "My dear daughter won a lot?"
"It's not much, so don't take advantage of my money." Princess Xinrong hurriedly put all the magic crystal cards into the space ring.
"Dear daughter, is your father good to you?" the emperor said slyly.
Princess Xinrong was born smart, but had good luck in gambling. She would always win every time she gambled, so she often went to casinos. Previously, the emperor was furious and wanted to punish the daughter of a corrupt family due to a cold. When he found out that he was guilty, he found out that
Another problem is that my daughter already owns a large amount of property. She is extremely shocked, so she turns a blind eye.
By the time the minister impeached Princess Xinrong, Princess Xinrong was already extremely wealthy. At that time, the country needed to establish a magic crystal artillery regiment and needed a lot of money. The emperor borrowed a large sum of money from Princess Xinrong to establish the
The Magic Crystal Artillery Regiment.
After all the ministers knew about this, they all said, if they impeach her again, they will just say, sanction Princess Xinrong. Who among you will pay for this military expenditure?
Of course, there were loans and returns, so why did Princess Xinrong walk sideways in the empire?
"No! You only give pocket money to the princes and princesses. Not only do I not have any, but I also have to pay to build an army." Princess Xinrong complained with her mouth bulging.
The emperor coughed a few times in embarrassment, but still said very softly: "The money you won is just enough to pay for the reinforcement of the city wall at the border. Now the countries on the border are watching with eager eyes. My father is very worried, but he can't come up with the funds. My dear daughter, you have to help my father share the burden."
Just for a moment!”
"Woo! My money is gone again. Here is the money I won this time. Can you cheer up, it's always like this?" Princess Xinrong sighed, looking like she hated iron.
The concubines and eunuchs around her all laughed. They all knew that Princess Xinrong was very lucky and she was sure to win in gambling, so she felt guilty for stealing the Chun Niang that the Emperor bought from Li Chun Yuan. The Emperor knew it and did not blame her or punish her.
, after all, I took Princess Xinrong’s money and didn’t dare to offend her. After all, if you please such a lucky daughter, it will increase your national luck. She is the goddess of luck. How dare you offend her? If you hadn’t given birth to this precious daughter, you might have
Now the country is at war and the people are in dire straits.
"You are really my good daughter. If anything happens in the future, just ask, my father will make the decision for you." The emperor smiled and hurriedly put away the magic crystal card.
"Really?" Princess Xinrong burst into laughter.
The emperor was immediately confused. Seeing Princess Xinrong like this, he knew what she was thinking and said awkwardly: "Except for Li Yuan's matter, everything else is fine."
"Humph! I just want Li Yuan." Princess Xinrong said angrily immediately.
"He is Xinyue's consort. My father has given me this gift personally and I cannot change my words. Besides, our Moyun Empire has a lot of talented people. My father will help you find someone better than Li Yuan." The emperor frowned and said.
"I want Li Yuan. When school starts, help me prepare a place. I want to enter and study with Li Yuan." Princess Xinrong shouted authentically.
"Okay!" The emperor sighed, how great it would be if Xinrong was a prince! In this way, she can marry a few more without any problem. It would be impossible for a princess and a princess to marry a poor man. If it weren't for Li
Yuan is a fourth-level magician and is not qualified to be the royal consort.
Li Yuan hurriedly returned to his residence. In the hall, Li Hu was carried on a wooden board, with his back exposed, and his simple butt still stuck there, extremely dazzling and terrifying.
"Brother Yuan, will Li Hu be okay?" Princess Xinyue asked in a trembling voice.
"No, the imperial doctor said that he is very strong in his life and will be able to overcome the crisis soon." Li Yuan felt that Li Hu's vitality was gradually recovering, and he felt more at ease. He regained a bit of magic power and was about to prepare for Li Hu.
Pull out the staff. If Li Hu can hold on and pull out the staff, his life can be saved.
There were many young people in the compound. These were sent by the Li family. When they saw Li Yuan coming back, they wanted to report it, but when they saw Li Hu injured, Li Yuan was so anxious that none of them said anything.
I envy Li Hu, who is so valued by Li Yuan, and he is still a third-level warrior who has just been promoted. He is better than Li Hu in every way, but he is not appreciated by Li Yuan and becomes his follower.
Returning to Li Hu's bedroom, the guards carried Li Hu to the bed and then left.
"Brother Tiger, hold on! I will help you pull out the staff. As long as you hold on, there will be no danger." Li Yuan said softly.
"Well! Brother, just pull it out, I can hold on." Li Hu showed a tough look.
"I pulled it out." Li Yuan injected life into the wound, and immediately pulled out the staff. Blood spurted out, and the bed and Li Yuan were covered in blood.
When Li Yuan saw that Li Hu didn't even snort, he couldn't help but admire his perseverance. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that God was so good to him that he got these two tough men as his followers.
There was life energy, and soon the wound stopped bleeding. Li Hu's energy gradually returned to this state. Li Yuan smiled, Li Bao also smiled, and Princess Xinyue also smiled.
"Brother Yuan, we are sent by the family to follow you. All expenses are paid by the family. This is a letter from the head of the family. Take a look." Li Jiang walked in and handed the letter to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took it and saw that Li Jiang led twenty warriors and twenty mages from the family to become Li Yuan's bodyguards. They were all third-level practitioners. There were a total of twenty gardeners and maids, cleaning and serving Li Yuan for the sister-in-law of the compound.
All expenses of the compound are covered by the Li family, and they also receive one-tenth of Dezhou City's annual income.
"Where has Uncle Fu gone?" Li Yuan asked after reading the letter and putting it away.
"Uncle Fu is in the backyard. I have arranged for his old man to take care of himself in the backyard. There are servants taking care of everything here, so he doesn't have to work so hard." Li Jiang said hurriedly. He couldn't afford to offend Li Yuan now.
"Call Uncle Fu, I'll wait for him in the bedroom." After speaking, Li Yuan said softly to Princess Xinyue: "Yue'er, I want to consolidate my cultivation. See you in the evening!"
"Well! See you in the evening!" Princess Crescent Moon said and left to go back.
When I returned to the lobby of the small courtyard where I lived, I saw Uncle Fu and Li Jiangzi waiting inside. They all stood up and saluted when he entered.
"Uncle Fu, don't be polite, please take a seat!" Li Yuan didn't dare to neglect until Uncle Fu was a cultivator and the safety of his yard depended on his protection.
"Thank you, Master! I wonder why you asked me to come here?" Uncle Fu sat down without any courtesy.
"Uncle Fu, I want you to be the general manager of the compound. I wonder if you are willing?" Li Yuan said softly.
"Let the old slave be the general manager?" Fu Bo said in surprise.
Li Jiang was also extremely shocked! He originally thought that he had to take the position of general manager, and all he had to do was please Li Yuan. He did not expect that this position would indeed fall into the hands of an outsider. He hurriedly said: "Brother Yuan, this is absolutely impossible. As the head of the courtyard,
How can the general manager let an outsider do it if he wants someone from the Li family?"
"Master Li, you may be disappointed. I am also from Lijia Town." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Li Yuan was not surprised! A cultivator living in seclusion here must be from the Li family, otherwise he would not go anywhere. There must be a reason for staying here.
"Are you also from Lijia Town?" Li Jiang said in shock.
"Yes, I was here ten years ago. Everyone in the family has left, but I still stay here to guard the compound." Uncle Fu sighed, recalling the glory of the past, the decline of today, and looking back now.
When I arrived at Li's house, I was back to life again. There were signs of a comeback, and I felt a little relieved.
"I wonder if you, the old man, would be willing to be the general manager of the compound?" Li Yuan asked again.
"The young master thinks so highly of me, so I reluctantly tried to do it for a few days." Uncle Fu said with a genuine smile.
Li Jiang was shocked. Li Yuan was more polite to Uncle Fu than to the head of the family. Thinking about it carefully, could it be that Uncle Fu was a reclusive master of the Li family? Thinking of this, his face changed drastically. He immediately changed his face and said to Uncle Fu with a smile: "You old man
, don’t resign, if anything happens to you in the future, I, Li Jiang, will definitely obey your orders!"
"Haha! Seeing that the younger generation of the Li family respects the old and loves the young like this, I am very happy. I am the general manager." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Li Yuan said happily: "I will help you from now on."
"Young master, you're welcome, you can rest! Since I accepted the position of general manager, I still have to arrange their work, so I'm resigning!" Fu Bo left after saying that.
"Brother Yuan, Uncle Fu, is he a hidden powerhouse in the family?" Li Jiang asked immediately after watching Uncle Fu leave.
