Chapter 740 Little brother will send you one last ride
Xu Zhiqiong slept until noon the next day, left Changshi Hall, and wandered around the Punishment Department.
The yin energy in his body was surging. Although he felt it was harmless, it always made Xu Zhiqiong feel uneasy.
When I walked to the carpenter's workshop, I suddenly saw Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng looking into the carpenter's workshop. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Bao Huailuo pointed inside and said, "There is a comrade who sleeps in there every day. Except for eating, I never see her come out!"
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "You're talking nonsense, but you have to touch your conscience when talking. Why doesn't she come out to use the toilet!"
Zhang Shifeng was startled: "It seems that she has never been to the toilet before, but today I want to take a closer look."
Bao Huailuo agreed: "You look at it from the front, and I look at it from the back."
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "You are a bunch of dirty people. If this gets spread, won't it ruin my reputation? Why can't you learn from others?"
Bao Huailuo nodded and said: "In the future, I will follow Ma Chang's history more."
Zhang Shifeng also nodded: "If you want to see it, you have to let Ma Changshi see it first."
Xu Zhiqiong walked in the front, and the two followed him. They looked at the door of the carpenter's workshop and saw a woman wearing a mask, lying on the table and snoring.
Xu Zhiqiong turned around and asked, "What is this man's name?"
Bao Huailuo shook his head and said, "We don't recognize him!"
Zhang Shifeng said: "Isn't this the disciple Ma Changshi accepted?"
"Have I accepted this disciple?" Xu Zhiqiong pinched his chin, "Why don't I remember him?"
Could it be that he is the new disciple of the madam?
This man is really strange. Why is he sleeping in the carpenter's workshop instead of sleeping in the officials' dormitory?
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and pushed: "Wake up."
The woman turned over, turned her back to Xu Zhiqiong, and fell asleep.
Xu Zhiqiong said again: "The carpenter's shop is on fire. If you don't leave, I will burn you to death!"
The woman continued to snore without any reaction.
Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Dinner is ready, there will be smoked chicken tonight."
The woman turned over and sat up, picked up the rice bowl and walked out.
Xu Zhiqiong stopped at the door and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman replied: "My name is Gongshu Yan."
Public transport?
"From the Gongshu family? Are you a craftsman sent by the Gongshu class?"
Gongshu Yan nodded and said, "The head of the family sent me here."
"How many days have you been here?"
"Three days."
"I've been here for three days and just fell asleep here!" Xu Zhiqiong was furious.
"If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you fall asleep?" Gongshu Yan didn't take it seriously.
"Now that you're here, start working quickly and help me do something first."
"What to do?"
"Do, do this, do something..." Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, and for a while he really didn't know what to ask Gong Shuyan to do.
Gongshu Yan looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Are you a long history official who punishes evildoers? Do you have a long history seal?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.
"Is there a long history order?"
Neither did Xu Zhiqiong.
"Let's make these two first, Chang Shi Yin three thousand taels, Chang Shi Ling ten thousand taels!"
So expensive!
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Don't try to trick me. When I made Zhonglang's seal and Master's seal, I didn't spend even a tael of silver!"
Gongshu Yan laughed and said: "The master book seal and the Zhonglang seal were given to you by your Taoist senior, right?"
It’s true that the main seal was given by Cao Yilang and the Zhonglang seal was given by Lu Yanyou.
Gongshu Yan said: "The things from your Taoist sect are free of charge and are obtained with merit. I am not a member of your Taoist sect, so why should I give you my efforts in vain?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "The public transportation class has said that you should hand over your craftsmanship to my craftsmen."
Gongshu Yan nodded: "Easy to say, you buy Chang Shi Ling and Chang Shi Yin first, and I'll make them right here and let your craftsmen learn from them."
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and immediately took out the money.
These two things are very useful. The Changshi Seal allows Xu Zhiqiong to return to Changshi Hall at any time without even having to use the key to open the door.
The Chang Shi Ling is even more useful. It can summon all the judges of the Punishment Department, it can sense the calls of colleagues, and it can also allow Xu Zhiqiong to freely use Chengfeng Tower.
Xu Zhiqiong said to Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng: "Learn your skills carefully. Once you learn them, you will have a lot of meritorious deeds!"
Gongshu Yan picked up a wooden box, which was at least seven feet five six, half a head taller than the girl.
The girl put the wooden box on the table, knocked on the switch, opened the lid, and took out various tools.
"Don't be idle. Get charcoal fire, light the stove, prepare ingredients, and wash the molds. This long history, haven't you asked your name yet?"
"Get off Ma Shangfeng!"
"Ma Changshi, please write down your name first, and then I'll trouble you to prepare two jars of good wine and two chickens. If I don't have enough to eat, I won't be able to use this excellent craftsmanship!"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng: "There are four of us, and two chickens may not be enough."
Gongshu Yan was stunned: "If you want to eat, buy another one yourself. Two chickens are not enough for me.
The wine also needs to be good, the stronger the better, if the strength of the wine is worse, the workmanship will also be worse!"
A woman needs to drink two jars of wine, and it must be strong alcohol. This girl has a lot of wine.
A stream of yin energy circulated in the Ren channel, giving Xu Zhiqiong a chill all over his body.
That's all, you might as well buy more wine to dispel the cold air.
…
Hong Zhenji waved his hand and ordered people to buy wine.
"My lords, if you drink this cup to the fullest, you will surely achieve success tonight."
Thirty-two people stood in front of him, and thirty-two people were Hong Zhenji's generals. Among them were ten from the Killing Way, three from the Confucian School, three from the Yin and Yang School, four from the Mohist School, four from the Taotie and Greedy Way, and four from the Taotie and Evil Way.
Four people, and four special cultivators.
Everyone's cultivation level ranges from fifth grade to eighth grade.
It doesn't look too high, but with Cong Ming, it's a different story.
Cong Ming claimed to be a third-level cultivator of the evil Taoist Way, and the others only needed to create a chance for him, and he would be sure to kill Hong Zhenkang.
Especially those four special cultivators are very good at creating opportunities!
That night, Hong Zhenji invited Hong Zhenkang to his house for a banquet.
Although they are brothers, except for the handover of political affairs, the two have not interacted with each other for more than ten years.
Hong Zhenkang was also surprised when he received Hong Zhenji's invitation. Although he didn't know Hong Zhenji's intention, he still brought some gifts and came to the banquet.
At the banquet, Hong Zhenji only mentioned old friendships and did not talk about political affairs, while Hong Zhenkang talked casually.
"Brother, I still remember that when I was eight years old, I broke one of my father's ear bottles. It was my father's favorite ear bottle. I knew that my father would not forgive me lightly. I was so scared that I cried for a whole half day.
I didn’t expect that my brother would take the responsibility for me. For this reason, my brother was beaten by my father. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel guilty."
Hong Zhenkang took a sip of wine and said, "It's an old thing, why bother bringing it up again?"
Hong Zhenji sighed: "I bring up this old thing because I want to tell my brother that I am not a ruthless person. Whether it is Xuanguo or Tunu, you and I have different political opinions, but we are all fighting for a friendly country for Qiancheng. In the end, we brothers
Our feelings have not changed."
When Hong Zhenkang heard this, his eyes gradually turned red: "Zhenji, I am very pleased that you have this intention."
Hong Zhenji ordered people to bring up several wooden boxes: "I took eight hundred thousand silver from my brother's box. This is the emperor's order, not my intention. Brother, please take back this silver."
Hong Zhenkang waved his hand and said: "You did it for official business, not for personal gain. You made a mistake for your brother, and you should have reflected on yourself. If I accepted your money, wouldn't you be adding to your mistakes?"
Hong Jinji sighed: "In the final analysis, brother still resents me."
Hong Zhenkang shook his head and said: "Although you and I are brothers, we are also ministers. It is our duty to be loyal to the Lord God. This has nothing to do with brotherhood."
"Since it's all right, brother, please accept the money."
"Zhenji, I can't accept this money for my brother. It's nothing to suffer a little grievance for my brother, but this matter must not involve you."
The brothers drank to their heart's content. Although Hong Zhenkang confiscated the money, judging from his words, the previous estrangement was resolved a lot.
It was not until he was very drunk that Hong Zhenkang stood up to say goodbye. Hong Zhenji insisted on seeing him off, but Hong Zhenkang declined.
"Zhenji, the emperor has some misunderstandings about me, and the matter has not been clarified yet. If you get too close to me, you may make the emperor unhappy again. I accept our friendship, so let's stay here."
"Brother, I'm not afraid of the royal brother's blame..."
"Zhenji," Hong Zhenkang held Hong Zhenji's hand, "if you remember that I took a beating for you, you should understand one thing. I will not let you suffer as a brother."
As soon as the words fell, the two brothers looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Hong Zhenkang left, and Hong Zhenji stood at the door of the mansion, watching his brother disappear into the night.
Hong Jinji wiped his tears and walked back to the mansion with a sad look on his face.
When he returned to the library, the corners of Hong Zhenji's mouth turned upward, revealing a smile: "Brother, I will give you a final farewell."
…
Thirty guards escorted Hong Zhenkang's sedan to Prince Lu's Mansion.
Passing by the Le'an Lake, a gust of cold wind blew in our faces. The guards and bearers shivered in unison, and the sedan swayed.
The leader of the guards, Zhao Yanggong, sensed something was wrong and ordered everyone to speed up.
Everyone wanted to walk faster, but their hamstrings were weakening and their legs couldn't use any strength.
Zhao Yanggong had a fifth-level cultivation of killing. With his murderous aura, he generated a lot of strength and personally carried the sedan forward quickly.
After walking for a long time, everyone found that Le'an Lake was always beside them.
This is not a big lake. Even if ordinary people walk along the road along the lake, it will only take them one meal at most.
They have lost their way. They have walked this road to Le'an Lake hundreds of times, and they actually got lost here!
No need to ask, this must have been a magic circle.
Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Song Zhixian, what kind of magic circle is this?"
Song Zhixian is a fifth-grade yin-yang cultivator. He felt that something was wrong when he came to the lake. However, after probing for a long time, he did not know where the abnormality was.
Seeing Song Zhixian shaking his head, Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Jia Lizhong, Yu Gengxiao, break the formation and open the way!"
Jia Lizhong and Yu Geng are sixth-grade Confucian practitioners. Regardless of the origin of the magic circle, they each released their awe-inspiring righteousness and tried to break the formation forcibly.
Above the lake, a strong wind suddenly rose, and a water column slowly gathered on the lake, rising straight into the sky.
Waterspout!
Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Did you encounter a dragon?"
Song Zhixian saw many black water droplets rolling from bottom to top in the waterspout.
This doesn't look like a dragon...
The waterspout connecting the lake and the sky suddenly tilted, carrying water and strong winds, sweeping towards the shore.
"Water ghost!" Song Zhixian shouted, "Be careful, there is a water ghost in the lake!"
Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Which water ghost?"
Song Zhixian used the two qi of yin and yang to resist the current: "What is in the yang world has its roots in the yang world!"
