A dark shadow flashed across the street, quietly sneaking into the shadows.
Immediately after, Hu Mei's figure walked out of the darkness and chased after him without any concealment.
Sa…….
As soon as she stepped into the alley, a cold light suddenly appeared in the sky and hit her slender jade neck. Her killing intent was clear.
Hu Mei did not appear panicked. She stood there without hiding and said softly: "If you want to die, just do it."
bass…….
The sharp edge suddenly appeared and stopped precisely at Hu Mei's neck.
Zuo Zonghe appeared with a cold face, gritted his teeth with murderous intent and said, "You betrayed me, and you still dare to appear in front of me?"
During the time he was hiding in XZ, he figured out a lot, especially when he knew that Hu Mei was still alive, he understood even more.
Hu Mei was unafraid and retorted with a sneer: "Do you think you are the only one who wants to live?"
The four eyes looked at each other for a long time...
Zuo Zonghe put down his weapon, leaned against the wall and said, "You came here alone to talk nonsense to me, right?"
Hu Mei said softly: "The Holy Spirit has decreed that I must bring you to justice within five days."
Zuo Zonghe glanced at her and sneered: "So you were the one who tipped off the news? I don't think you are so kind."
Hu Mei shook her head: "The Marquis asked me to tell you that in your current situation, the only way to survive is... to defeat Emperor Wu."
"Master Hou? Zuo Chongming?"
Zuo Zonghe's pupils shrank: "Sure enough, I knew something was wrong here. It turned out that you betrayed the seventh prince, and all of this was designed by Zuo Chongming."
Hu Mei didn't take it seriously: "What's the point of talking about this now?"
Zuo Zonghe crossed his arms and sneered: "I'm curious, what kind of benefits did Zuo Chongming give you to make you betray the Seventh Prince, betray Emperor Wu, and betray your own clan."
"He..."
Hu Mei looked up at the stars in the sky, and she didn't know what she thought of. A look of awe appeared on her jade face, and she whispered in a low voice: "He gave me hope."
"hope?"
Zuo Zonghe was stunned for a moment, this answer was beyond his expectation.
Hu Mei smiled and said: "In other words, I only see hope in him. Only he can help me."
Zuo Zonghe raised his eyebrows slightly and said disdainfully: "He? Just from the Yuanhai realm..."
Hu Mei interrupted him and sneered: "He has understood the will of martial arts. When he reaches the realm, barbarians, sects, aristocratic families, courtiers and even Emperor Wu... can't kill him."
"He has promoted everything at the moment and reduced you to a lost dog without any effort. Such an achievement is just a mere achievement in your eyes?"
"you……"
Zuo Zonghe's face was ashen, and his eyes showed murderous intent.
"Don't rush to do it."
Hu Mei smiled softly: "Although you have a secret breath-containing technique, you know very well that you can't hide for long..."
Having said this, she looked sideways: "So, you have taken action, and you are going to challenge the third prince and make a bet."
Next to it is the residence of the third prince. Zuo Zonghe appeared here for no reason, and the meaning is self-evident.
Zuo Zonghe's tiger body trembled and he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "How do you know?"
Hu Mei tilted her head and said playfully: "Because the Marquis said that a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious, let alone a master of the astral realm?"
"There is only one road before you. Even if you don't want to, as long as you don't want to die, you have no choice but to go on."
Zuo Zonghe twitched the corners of his lips and squeezed out a hint of sarcasm: "Zuo Chongming really knows everything."
Despite his harsh words, the horror in his heart cannot be described in words.
Because Zuo Zonghe's visit to the third prince this time was more of an attempt, and his own ideas were not very firm.
But Zuo Chongming was like a prophet who knew he would do this and even asked Hu Mei to wait nearby.
These calculations really made Zuo Zonghe feel cold.
Hu Mei shrugged: "The Marquis said that if you come to see the Third Prince, let me give you this. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to see it or not."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her spiritual ring and flicked it to the other party.
Zuo Zonghe held it between his hands and couldn't help but frown: "Can the content of this letter defeat Emperor Wu? Will it allow me to survive?"
"Believe it or not, the choice is yours."
After Hu Mei finished speaking, she turned around and left without any hesitation, without any interest in talking anymore.
When she came to the entrance of the alley, she suddenly turned her head and cast a wink at Zuo Zonghe: "After drinking tea, I will go to the palace to report to the Holy Emperor...about you."
"you……"
Zuo Zonghe instinctively wanted to take action, but considering the surrounding mansions, he had to suppress his anger and could only watch her leave.
call…….
A gust of cold wind blew through, making the empty alley feel particularly lonely.
Zuo Zonghe leaned against the wall, unconsciously playing with the letter in his hand.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help his curiosity. With the idea of 'just taking a look', he silently opened the letter.
——
——
Xiyunfu City.
Even though it's midnight, the gate of the government office is still busy.
First Xiangming, Chen Tianlong and other players were wandering around impatiently.
Lu Weiguang sent a letter to Zuo Chongming to send the actual steam engine, so it would definitely take some time.
But Zuo Chongming's instructions and replies don't need to be that troublesome at all. They can just use the player's convenient microphone and they can be delivered on the same day.
Therefore, when Qiqi gave the signal, Chen Tianlong and others hurried over slowly.
Although the result is known, the procedure must be followed.
In other words.
Qiqi conveyed Zuo Chongming's instructions. Players who received the instructions must tell Lu Weiguang.
Through Lu Weiguang's mouth, it was then conveyed to players such as Chen Tianlong and No. 1 Xiangming, and detailed action plans were deployed.
Only then can Chen Tianlong and other players, who have received the approval, be able to take action in a legitimate manner.
Otherwise, this is ignoring your boss and overstepping your authority...
Many people may find it troublesome, but they have to admit that if they want to get through the system, they must do this.
finally…….
Someone came to summon everyone and ordered everyone to come into the government to discuss matters.
As soon as Chen Tianlong entered the door, he couldn't help but ask knowingly: "Sir, is this good news?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The first fragrant tea followed closely: "Master Lu, what did the Marquis say?"
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Lu Weiguang was at the top of the list, looking around at everyone with a solemn expression: "The Marquis's instructions on the steam...steam engine have been approved."
"In addition, the Marquis also allows us to eat large quantities of grain, seedlings, minerals and other resources from now on without limit."
"And use silver and copper as the main currency, and convert the silver coins stored in the treasury into gold by any means, including yuan stones."
"Very good."
Chen Tianlong waved his hands vigorously, showing excitement.
First Xiangming observed carefully and noticed that Lu Weiguang was not in a high mood: "Sir, this is a good thing, why is it like this..."
Lu Weiguang smiled bitterly and sighed: "Do you know what this means?"
"No, I don't know."
Chen Tianlong and others looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Lu Weiguang lamented: "This means... the situation in the capital is getting more and more turbulent. The Marquis has smelled signs of chaos. He is trying to accumulate food..."
"this……"
Although everyone's faces were full of shock, they didn't think so in their hearts.
Can they not know this?
The player's information transmission speed is a bug on the way home.
Lu Weiguang didn't want to say more and changed the subject casually: "Master Hou has instructed that all development must satisfy itself before it can be sold to outsiders."
The meaning of this sentence is two-fold. On the one hand, it is an expectation for them, and on the other hand, it is a warning to them.
Expect them to produce more results and surprises. Warn them not to touch the bottom line for the sake of profit.
The bottom line mentioned here is not the bottom line of life, let alone the bottom line of the law, but the bottom line of Zuo Chongming.
The price of rashly touching the bottom line...
There are too many examples in the past to illustrate.
After leaving the government office.
First Xiangming said in the group: "The request for instructions has been approved, and factory construction and mass production of steam engines can begin..."
"In addition, we can recruit a large number of workers, provide enough jobs, and indirectly improve the living standards of the people of Xiyun Prefecture."
Chen Tianlong seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully: "By the way, why is Zuo Chongming hoarding gold?"
The person next to him shook his head: "I don't know. Logically speaking, we should stock up on Yuan Stone. Gold..."
First Xiangming made a surprising statement: "Maybe I know the reason."
"What?"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cast curious glances at her.
"perhaps……"
The First Fragrant Tea pondered: "Because copper, iron, and silver are all renewable, and Yuan Stone can also be renewable, but gold may not be."
"This can also explain why the exchange value of gold, a common currency, far exceeds that of silver and copper, and is even similar to Yuan Stone."
Snapped!
Suddenly someone clapped their hands and suddenly said: "Yes, the reason why Yuan Stone is expensive is because it is used by warriors for various purposes such as cultivation."
"Gold is mostly used for special products, such as formation drawing, secret technique consumption, utensil casting, etc. It is an indispensable item."
"You'll use less of this stuff, so there's no harm in hoarding more. It won't depreciate anyway, and things are more valuable when they are scarce."
First Xiangming sighed: "The key is that with the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology, gold will become more and more important..."
Chen Tianlong was shocked: "Fuck, did Zuo Chongming foresee it and prepare in advance? Is this impossible? Is it a god?"
First Xiangming thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not like he is a god, but don't forget that he is good at divination, and he may not be able to predict anything."
"What the hell..."
Everyone opened their mouths and fell into silence.
Is Zuo Chongming's divination really profound to this level?
Can we actually get a glimpse of the development of the future era?
Isn't this a bit outrageous?
But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the only reasonable explanation at present.
Chen Tianlong twitched the corner of his mouth and said quietly: "Maybe Zuo Chongming is the reborn person in the novel."
Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes and complained: "Good guy, your speculation is even more outrageous."
First Fragrant Ming was speechless: "Li Ke fucking opened the door to Li Ke, Li Ke is home."
Chen Tianlong smiled coquettishly: "I just said it casually."
