Princess Halloween was lying on the railing, playing with the jade pendant absentmindedly.
He held his chin with his other hand, looking into the distance with blurred eyes, his eyes filled with the emotion called reason.
People can grow up. Princess Halloween was indeed a nymphomaniac and a licker back then, but now... how could she still be a nympho?
When she stepped into this southern border this time, in addition to wooing the Red Sea Demon King, she also had another thing to do, and that was to go find Zuo Chongming.
The first thing happened for the Nanhai Dragon Clan, and the second thing happened because of the Dragon Ancestor.
Just last night, Longzu gave her a dream and told her to do this.
Although the Dragon Ancestor did not explain what Zuo Chongming was doing, Princess Wan Sheng, as a descendant of the Dragon Clan, would never dare to disobey him in the slightest.
The space distorted for a while, and the middle-aged man walked out of it and saluted respectfully: "Princess."
"How about it?"
Princess Halloween asked without looking back.
"That Ji Changyun is not simple."
"oh?"
"Although he only has the strength of the Origin Sea Realm, he is aware of my existence."
Princess Halloween was stunned for a moment, then showed a playful smile: "This is interesting, what else did he say?"
The man replied: "He can agree to us, but the condition is 500,000 taels of gold. My subordinates bargained with him and agreed to pay it in installments."
Princess Halloween couldn't help but frown and muttered thoughtfully: "Gold? Why does he want gold?"
The man hesitated and said: "Well, it is said that Zuo Chongming from Xiyun Mansion also issued an order to collect gold in exchange for Yuanshi and silver."
"Xiyun Mansion has started to use a new kind of banknotes, and gold, silver and copper coins are gradually being phased out. Maybe there is a connection?"
Princess Wan Sheng muttered: "It makes sense. Chi Hai once said that the Liansheng Sect's business with the barbarians was inspired by Zuo Chongming."
"That guy has a good relationship with the Bald Donkeys in Jixi. They are allies of each other. Zuo Chongming has also been doing business with the Bald Donkeys."
The man asked in a low voice: "Princess, what should we do next?"
Princess Wan Sheng smiled charmingly: "We are short of everything in our sea area, except for gold and silver. If Ji Changyun wants money, then give it to him..."
The man nodded: "Then I have to go back."
Who would take hundreds of thousands of taels of gold with them when they go out? Isn’t this just out of their minds?
"Go and come back quickly."
Princess Halloween waved her hand and watched him disappear into the whirlpool, the corners of her lips raised involuntarily.
She had said before that the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas gathered together and eventually broke up on bad terms, but in fact, the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea was not monolithic.
This time, if it weren't for her relationship with Chihai, Princess Wan Sheng would never have had the opportunity to come to southern Xinjiang.
Even so, her respectable brother still sent a close subordinate to keep an eye on Princess Wan Sheng's every move.
Now, she was finally able to separate from him through this matter, gain temporary free time, and fulfill the instructions of the Dragon Ancestor alone...
"Here comes someone."
She summoned a cat demon and handed a letter: "Forward to the Red Sea Demon King. This princess needs to go back and will be back in a few days."
After saying that, he jumped into the sky and quickly disappeared into the distance with a clear dragon roar.
——
——
A few days later.
Zuo Chongming was walking when he suddenly paused, turned and looked back.
But I saw that there was a beauty in the courtyard at some time...well, it should be a woman.
Although he looks quite young, his peach-like temperament cannot be concealed at all.
Seeing him looking over, this woman, who was wearing a long blue dress, with a slim figure and charming eyebrows, smiled and said, "Qingwen has met Mr. Hou."
"sit."
Zuo Chongming came to the pavilion and sat down, covering up the glare in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Miss Qingwen, your name is quite strange."
"I saw that the young lady behaved elegantly and had an extraordinary temperament. I thought that she came from everyone, but I never thought that there was a way out and she had to fall from the sky."
Princess Wan Sheng pursed her lips and smiled, sat down gracefully, and said with a chuckle: "The Marquis has a sharp eye, and the little girl really admires him."
Zuo Chongming poured tea: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What do you mean Miss Qingwen is here for? I am in a good mood today, maybe I can help you."
Qingwen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Master Hou, do you still remember the Yunmeng Treasure Ship?"
Zuo Chongming was stunned for a moment, then regretted: "Yunmeng Treasure Ship? I've heard of it...but I was busy at the time, so I missed this opportunity."
"That's such a shame."
Qingwen couldn't help complaining in his heart: "I have long heard that the human race is cunning and cunning. Since Zuo Chongming is a leader among people, he is indeed more sophisticated than anyone else."
When Long Zu asked her for a dream, he briefly mentioned this matter.
I never thought that Zuo Chongming would come out with his mouth open and lie without blushing.
Good guy, if she didn't know this in advance, she would probably have been deceived.
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly she felt that her consciousness was in a trance, and then she knew nothing.
"interesting."
Zuo Chongming paused slightly while pouring tea, then raised his eyes to look at her: "The Dragon Clan has a long heritage and countless secret techniques. It seems that this is not a lie."
Qingwen smiled and spoke hoarsely: "As expected of the champion, awesome, awesome..."
"..."
Zuo Chongming's face twitched fiercely.
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, it was too jarring to hear the old man's business coming from the mouth of a beautiful woman.
After a while, he took a deep breath to calm down and asked: "I wonder who you are from the South China Sea Dragon Clan?"
Qingwen, no, it should be Long Zu. He did not answer this question, but asked: "Why can't it be the East China Sea or the North Sea?"
Zuo Chongming chuckled: "Xiyun Mansion is closer to the South China Sea, but the other three seas are too far away, so the South China Sea is more likely."
"That makes sense."
Long Zu nodded thoughtfully and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, do you still remember what Qingwen just said about the Yunmeng Treasure Ship?"
Zuo Chongming's eyes widened, and the word innocent was written all over his face: "Why do you mention this matter again? I have never participated in it."
Long Zu smiled half-heartedly: "Really? I remember that the Marquis changed a lot of things and almost emptied the treasure ship."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as he said this, the smile on Zuo Chongming's face disappeared instantly, and he said softly: "Interesting, Your Excellency... who is this person?"
Dragon Ancestor pondered for a few breaths, then laughed dumbly: "Just think of me as a member of the South China Sea Dragon Clan."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows and suddenly said: "It turns out that the so-called Yunmeng Treasure Ship was created by the Dragon Clan, which is quite interesting."
"Master Marquis, aren't you curious about the purpose of my visit to you?"
"Of course you will say it."
Longzu sighed and said: "Master Hou has studied the book of escape carefully, and holds the Jade Scroll of Wentian. He is very proficient in the divination of other sects."
"So, I want to ask Mr. Hou for something, or... I want to ask Mr. Hou to deduce a place."
After Zuo Chongming heard this, he tutted: "Since the dragon clan is related to the Yunmeng treasure ship, then you have read the book "Dun Yi" and you can't deduce the result even with your ability?"
Long Ancestor shook his head and explained calmly: "The Book of Escape and the Jade Scroll of Wentian are the two cores of Tianji Pavilion. Without any one, the effect of the other will be reduced by 50%."
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Chongming threw out the jade scroll with his backhand: "Here, the Wentian Jade Scroll is here. I am kind enough to lend it to you."
Longzu didn't expect this answer, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Good guy, just stop him.
After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly and said, "I didn't expect that after only a few years, Master Hou would almost have it together."
"But, Lord Marquis, can you really trust me to hand it over to me? Aren't you afraid that I will snatch it away and walk away?"
Zuo Chongming smiled slightly and raised his glass: "You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."
"No one in the world dares to steal my things. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
Long Zu stared at the Wentian Jade Scroll, then looked away: "Master Hou is joking, I am not the kind of person you think."
In fact, he was really tempted just now, but after thinking about it he rejected the idea.
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that it’s not necessary.
First of all, he is not enmity with Zuo Chongming, and secondly, he is currently occupying Qingwen's body, so he may not be able to successfully kill someone.
Of course, the last and most critical reason is that the value of Zuo Chongming's life far exceeds the benefits of his death.
"Besides..."
Long Zu said with a smile: "I'm not very proficient in the art of divination. Even if I have the Wentian Jade Scroll, I can't deduce the result."
Zuo Chongming stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "It seems that if I want to deduce the place you mentioned, I will have to pay a high price."
"Master Hou is awesome, I admire you."
Long Zu secretly sighed at his keenness and said with a smile, "If Lord Marquis can help me with this, I am willing to pay a generous reward."
"for example?"
"The demonic essence that Marquis Wen took is related to the dragon clan. If I can take out a drop of the Dragon King's essence and blood..."
"not enough."
"Master Marquis, feel free to mention it."
"I want... the second peak of Jiange."
"Clam?"
Long Zu had calculated everything, but he never expected that Zuo Chongming would actually make this request.
This is so fucking outrageous. He opened the door for outrageous things. It’s outrageous.
Seeing his silence, Zuo Chongming said slowly: "I know the approximate location, but I have no time to escape now."
"Besides, with my current strength, if I want to move the two peaks of Jiange, I am afraid that I am not too weak."
Longzu said: "You have a good relationship with Buddhism."
"Ask for help in everything, and the favors you owe must always be repaid."
"...where is the place?"
"Na."
Zuo Chongming flicked his fingers and saw traces of true energy swirling around, quickly forming a line of addresses - Beihai Tianyuan.
"Here?"
Long Zu's eyes suddenly shrank, his expression a little uncertain.
If Xiyun Mansion is in the south, then this place is in the northwest, far further than the capital.
He finally understood why Zuo Chongming didn't go there in person, he had no time to get away, he wanted to return the favor.
This guy simply couldn't do it, so I left the matter to him.
First of all, this journey is quite long. Zuo Chongming must cross four states, including Hong State, Zheng State and... Motuoling.
This trip will take at least a few months.
If the Bald Donkeys of the Far West had been away from their lair for such a long time, I'm afraid that when they came back, the barbarians would have already destroyed their lair.
Also, even if Zuo Chongming could convince them and Hong Guo... to successfully rush to Beihai Tianyuan, he still wouldn't be able to return safely.
The sword peaks of the two ancient sword pavilions are simply two golden mountains.
Who would watch this wealth slip away from their own territory?
Oh, right.
Zuo Chongming himself is also a golden mountain, and there are many people with evil intentions who want to control him and control Xiyun Mansion...
so.
Due to emotions and reasons, it was impossible for Zuo Chongming to rush to Beihai Tianyuan.
But having said that, Longzu had to admit that Zuo Chongming was a really good eloquent guy.
If Longzu hadn't lived a long life and knew so much, he would never have imagined how outrageous this seemingly reasonable condition was.
