Chapter 895 Bao Pavilion’s strength has greatly improved
"His Majesty is dead? Where did you get the news?" After a brief silence, Chen Xiaohai asked in a trembling voice.
"Empress Fu told me personally through the sound transmission array. Why, second uncle, you didn't know?"
Chen Shen asked back: "It shouldn't be. Queen Fu asked me to lead the army back to the capital within a month. It stands to reason that the leaders of other front armies must have received the news."
"With so many people knowing, the possibility of leakage is higher. As the deputy master of Tianqi Pavilion, you have been in business for such a long time and have a lot of informants in the imperial capital. How come you haven't received any news?"
Chen Xiaohai turned his attention to the two protectors Zhang and Lu.
Both of them looked at a loss: "For a major event like the death of a monarch, the underground black market in the imperial capital may have spread a lot about it for a long time. But we really haven't received any news."
"That's weird..." Xiang Nan, the bodyguard sister, frowned slightly.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Shen suddenly realized: "I know! Queen Fu only told me about His Majesty's death."
"It's a cross in a circle. Empress Fu also ordered me to bring back all the troops through the sound transmission array. Now that I think about it, if I really did this, wouldn't I have fallen into her treacherous plan and be in a place of eternal disaster?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yidao couldn't sit still. He slapped the table, blew his beard and glared and cursed: "What a bastard, those old ladies want to trick you to death!"
"What a vicious woman!" Lu Yijian also cursed without any concealment.
As former mercenary leaders, Zhang Yidao and Lu Yijian were equivalent to half of the leaders of the dark forces, and they did not have much respect for the royal family's power.
They only recognize the morality of the world and don’t ask about the laws of the country and the rules of the family!
Everything they have now was brought by Chen Shen.
Therefore, Zhang Yidao and Lu Yijian's thinking is very simple: whoever offends Chen Shen will be at odds with them!
"What the fuck, Mr. Chen, I can't even swallow this breath, let alone you!"
Zhang Yidao shouted loudly: "Tell me what to do? It's not impossible for me, Lao Zhang, to accompany you to the Queen's Palace!"
Lu Yijian also geared up and said, "Yes! In the past half year, we have exchanged the massive gold coins we earned from the sales of Tianqi Bao Pavilion for spiritual stone resources."
"Now, Tufu Zhang and I have reached the five-star Mysterious Master realm! Even Miss Xiang, the head of the affairs department, has been promoted to the two-star Mysterious Master realm."
Zhang Yidao nodded sharply: "That's right. Deputy Pavilion Master Chen is even more powerful. He is now a strong man at the peak of the two-star Xuan King!"
"Even our four former trusted lieutenants, Jiawu, Yilu, Bingchang, and Ding Qing, all climbed from the peak of Nine Star Xuanshi to the throne of Xuanshi."
"Coupled with the underground forces we have developed during this period, there are tens of thousands of people, and a tough battle with the Royal Guards of the Imperial City is not in vain!"
Xiang Nan Ren Yanran smiled: "Isn't it? Even my deputy Chen Si has been promoted to the Seven-Star Xuanshi!"
After hearing what these three people said, Chen Shen was a little surprised, but this was reasonable.
Because before the Northern Expedition, he had explained to everyone here: "After I leave, my 70% dividend will be distributed proportionally to all the core executives of Baoge."
At that time, Chen Shen had already made plans to "make a lot of money from the war."
As for Tianqibao Pavilion, which opens once a month, and the net profit of 1.67 billion each time, rather than keeping it to grow moldy, it is better for everyone to use it first and turn it into cultivation and improve combat power.
1.67 billion gold per month. According to the ratio of one million gold coins to one pound of low-grade Five Elements spirit stones, even with a small discount, at least 1,500 pounds of spirit stones would be accounted for.
Less than half a year after Chen Shen went on the expedition, the core members of Bao Pavilion had received nearly ten thousand kilograms of spiritual stones.
With so many Five Elements Spiritual Stones being refined and absorbed, it’s hard to believe that their realms have improved so quickly!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that these people have not absorbed much spiritual stone energy before.
With their current level of cultivation, if they want to go further, they will need more spiritual stones, and the effect of absorption will be reduced to a certain extent.
This is like a person who has been hungry and thirsty for a long time. If you give him a bowl of rice and a jar of water, he can eat and drink it all!
But when the body has stored enough food and water, it cannot eat anymore.
If you eat and drink forcefully, you will feel nauseated and unable to absorb it. If you make trouble, you will vomit it all up. This is the truth.
Therefore, for Xuan masters, especially those above the Xuan King realm, the effectiveness of low-grade Five Elements Spiritual Stones in rapidly improving their cultivation has become increasingly weaker.
Unless there are higher-level middle-grade spiritual stones, these people's meridians and Dantian can once again show a "hungry" state, crazy absorption and refining, and rapid improvement in cultivation.
Chen Shen took a sip of tea and spoke slowly: "Your cultivation has increased dramatically, which is a good thing. However, it is really the last resort to forcefully break into the palace with a butcher's knife held high."
"Not to mention that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the palace, and there are so many masters. We really may not be able to get any benefits. Even if we have the advantage and finally kill Queen Fu and seize the palace, what will happen?"
"The Tumo star who has been criticized by the world can make us infamy for thousands of years!"
Having said this, the young man raised his head slightly, squinted at the ceiling, and said quietly: "What if I am just one person, and I have to bear eternal infamy? I can't lose a few kilograms of meat."
"However, my grandfather, and even the ancestors of my Chen family, are unparalleled loyal ministers and righteous men in the Great Xia Kingdom. I can't let my grandfather be humiliated and let my ancestors bear the burden just because of impulse.
infamy."
It is undeniable that since his rebirth in another world, this young man's sense of belonging to his family has become stronger and stronger. He is no longer the prodigal son who "can feed one person and keep the whole family hungry".
This feeling is a bit unfree. However, has there ever been absolute freedom in the world? Less freedom and more fetters of family and family warmth. For Chen Shen, who was an orphan in his previous life, there is nothing bad...
…
After hearing what he said, the second uncle's eyes were filled with relief.
Zhang Yidao scratched his head and said in a rough voice: "Then what do you think we should do? Anyway, I will do whatever you say. I, Old Zhang, will never give up."
"It's easy to handle. First of all, I believe that my return as the master of Tianqi Pavilion will spread to Queen Fu's ears soon. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace in an open and honest manner in the name of visiting my old friend the King of Great Xia after leaving seclusion.
A palace.”
"If Empress Fu has a guilty conscience, she will definitely try every means to stop her. In this way, my guess is confirmed."
"The second step..."
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, there were several hurried knocks on the door, and then I heard: "Master Pavilion Master, your disciple Ma Jingjing said that he has something important to see."
"Well?" Chen Shen was wondering, what important thing can this little loli have? Could it be that she encountered some difficulties in refining the mysterious talisman? This girl really doesn't know how to choose the right time...
