Chapter 124 Changes in Yuzhen Palace!
The gray-robed middle-aged man knew how harsh his conditions were. Because of this, he didn't have much hope for the boy in front of him.
Unexpectedly, it was this young man who he didn't expect much, who actually agreed.
"Crazy! What is this guy thinking? I agree to such a condition!"
"Is it true that there is too much money and nowhere to spend it?"
"Even if this is the case, there is no need to spend so much money on this kind of waste!"
"And, do they know where this guy came from?"
...
Behind him, in the teahouse, a group of people who were also hiring masters felt incredible. Here, one hundred taels of gold can hire a very powerful master, but this boy is willing to spend five thousand taels to hire another person.
The point is, he doesn't even know the background of the other party!
This behavior is simply incomprehensible!
"Well, do you agree?"
Wang Chong smiled and said, his expression remained unchanged. It seems that what the gray-robed middle-aged man proposed were only some trivial matters.
The gray-robed middle-aged man looked at Wang Chong with a look of surprise in his eyes. For the first time, he felt that he could not understand this young man.
Just when Wang Chong was expecting his answer, suddenly, a voice came from beside his ear.
"If you want to get so much money, you must have this ability. Young master, let me try him for you!—"
Before the sound fell, the air exploded, and a hard iron fist suddenly came out from Wang Chong's side, whipping up a gust of wind, and went straight to the gray-robed middle-aged man.
Around that iron fist, there is even a circle of intangible white ripples, which is the symbol of a ninth-level vitality master, the "Ring of Ripples".
"Shen Hai, don't!—"
Wang Chong's complexion changed drastically, and he wanted to stop Shen Hai, but it was too late. There was a faint cold snort in his ears, and the next moment, Shen Hai's fist seemed to hit an invisible wall a few feet away from the gray-robed middle-aged man, and stopped suddenly.
"Hmph! Overreaching!—"
In the blink of an eye,
A voice was neither high nor low, and it rang clearly in everyone's ears. The next moment, a majestic aura erupted like a storm from the gray-robed middle-aged man who hadn't seen it just now.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and there was a strong wind in the teahouse, blowing everyone's clothes and robes. In this gust of wind, Shen Hai was blown away like a ball by the power that erupted from the gray-robed middle-aged man, booming. With a sound, it hit the wall on the other side of the "Home of the World".
"make a deal!"
The violent wind subsided, and the gray-robed middle-aged man slowly stood up from his seat like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. On the opposite side of him, at a distance of more than ten feet, Shen Hai stood up from the ground, and his body was unharmed.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Standing beside Wang Chong, Meng Long was even more dumbstruck!
"Home of the World" is just a very ordinary teahouse, as a stronghold for hiring warriors, it is of a relatively low level.
No one thought that there was such a powerful master hidden in this teahouse. Especially those hiring masters who had been with him day and night for several months were even more shocked.
"Exuding internal energy, this person has at least reached the real martial arts realm. Seeing how effortless he is, it's obvious that he hasn't used real power much at all. His real strength is far stronger than what he appears on the surface."
"Furthermore, he was able to shake Shen Hai so far, and his use of power has reached the point of perfection. This person is at least at the sixth or seventh level of the True Martial Realm. It will only be higher, not lower!"
...
Wang Chong looked at the gray-robed middle-aged man in front of him, and thoughts flashed through his mind. As the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, his vision is still first-class. The only pity is that due to his own strength, Wang Chong can't see the true strength of these people at all.
"make a deal!"
With these thoughts in his mind, Wang Chong quickly stretched out his hand and held it with the gray-robed middle-aged man.
The man in the gray robe was called "Li Zhuxin", which was known to Wang Chong after he handed over five thousand taels of gold to him. Regarding his own background, Li Zhu kept his secrets secret and didn't mention a single word.
And after getting the five thousand taels of gold, as he said, Li Zhuxin really only appeared for a while, and then disappeared immediately.
Regarding this situation, Shen Hai and Meng Long were extremely depressed. Only Wang Chong didn't care.
Wang Chong didn't know much about Li Zhuxin. I only know that this person "does what he says and does what he says." What he promised, he will definitely do.
If he couldn't even do this, the prince of Datang wouldn't try to keep him by his side as his personal bodyguard.
"Now, you can practice Manshen Jin with peace of mind."
Standing beside the carriage outside the Home of the World, Wang Chong let out a long sigh of relief. With a master like Li Zhuxin, it is equivalent to an invisible layer of protection.
Now, he can really rest assured to practice martial arts in the mountains and forests and increase his strength.
"drive!"
With a shout, the carriage drove out quickly. However, he did not return to Wang's house, but headed towards the mountains outside the gate of the capital city.
...
Just as Wang Chong went to practice in the mountains outside the city every day, at the same time, another disturbance was brewing in Datang's palace.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Song Wang has sent a letter!—"
In a hoarse voice, an old lady in the palace with a wrinkled face like an older orange peel walked into the beautifully decorated and resplendent Yuzhen Palace with a letter.
"what?!"
Inside the red palace tent, there was a crisp sound, and the voice of Concubine Taizhen gnashing her teeth came from inside:
"Li Chengqi! You are really a bully. Don't you insult me enough? It's fine to unite with everyone in the court to criticize me. Now you still write a letter to scold me in a different way. Where did I bully you? How dare you criticize me like this!"
Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty, if there was one person she hated the most, it must be Song Wang Li Chengqi. If it wasn't for him, she would have come together with the Holy Emperor long ago.
Now because of Li Chengqi, she is involved in the center of the vortex and is criticized by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. How could Concubine Taizhen not hate her.
Li Chengqi had too much prejudice against her. She didn't even need to think about this letter, she knew it was to insult herself.
"Ma'am, what about this letter?"
"Do you still need me to teach you? Take it down and burn it with fire!"
Concubine Taizhen said coldly.
"Yes, the old slave will do it now!"
The old mama's head turned cold, she quickly lowered her head, turned and left. In the side hall of Yuzhen Palace, in the spacious and bright main hall, a beautiful teenage maid was kneeling on the ground with a lamp lit in front of her.
Further on, a furnace was burning. There are a lot of clothes next to it.
In the palace, the old clothes of the empresses, concubines, and concubines cannot be thrown away casually. Rather, it must be burned with fire so as not to be desecrated.
This kind of place is called Burning Clothes Workshop.
"Take this letter. According to your empress, burn it with fire."
The old lady in palace attire threw King Song's letter on the table, turned around and left without waiting for the maid's reaction. There are many affairs in the palace, such trivial matters can be done by the maids.
A nun with senior qualifications like her has more important things to do.
The teenage maid stared at the old mother's leaving back and was startled, then picked up the letter on the table and took it out. She has always had a habit of taking a look at the exquisite things in the palace before burning them.
However, when the little maid took out the letter, she was stunned.
...
Concubine Taizhen suddenly felt that the atmosphere in Yuzhen Palace was a bit strange recently.
When the little maids in the palace were delivering clothes to themselves, they kept looking at themselves secretly through the palace tent; the same was true when the maids were delivering cakes. They were obviously finished eating the cakes, but they stood there with a plate, not knowing what to do. Go; even the elderly nuns in the palace, there is something wrong.
Concubine Taizhen was in the palace, and she often heard a few words outside saying something like "Ah, flowers!"
This situation is fine for a day or two, but for several days in a row, the atmosphere has not changed, but has become more and more serious.
In the end, even the Jinwu guards at the four corners of the palace tent were a little absent-minded.
"what is going on?"
When a little court lady knocked the whole plate of cakes given to her by the Holy Emperor to the ground because she was peeping at her, Concubine Taizhen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
The little maid knelt on the ground, trembling all over. Even if she didn't understand it, she knew that she knocked over the cake that the Holy Emperor gave to the empress, it was a big cake.
"Xiaoyue, what's going on with you recently? Why are you absent-minded? What are you doing?"
Concubine Taizhen's voice came from the palace tent.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant also listened to a poem praising your Majesty recently, so I couldn't help but want to take a peek at your Majesty."
The little maid knelt on the ground, trembling in fear and trembling.
"A poem in praise of me?"
Concubine Taizhen was greatly surprised, but the anger in her heart disappeared all of a sudden.
"Yes. It's not just me, Xiaoying, Xiaomei and the others are all like this. Everyone says, Your Majesty, you are so beautiful, otherwise, no one would write such beautiful poems, so the slaves can't help it. Secretly looking at you."
Knowing that she made a big mistake, the little maid hurriedly told all the things she knew.
"Bring Xiaoying, Xiaomei, and everyone over here!"
Now, Concubine Taizhen became more and more curious.
In just a moment, the entire Yuzhen Palace was summoned. The maids, maids, slaves, old mothers, and even the eunuchs in the palace were all summoned, and a crowd of people all knelt outside the palace tent.
Everyone said that it was because they thought you were so beautiful, Niang Niang, so they couldn't help but secretly look at you. This made Concubine Taizhen even more curious.
And when Concubine Taizhen asked about that poem, something strange happened. Although everyone said that the poem was beautiful, no one could remember the whole content of the poem. Everyone only knew the scales and claws.
Some said "the cloud is facing the rain", some said "the cloud is like a flower", some said "the spring breeze is thick", and some said "the flower is beautiful". In short, no one knows what the detailed content of this poem is. .
Even the same sentence has three or four different versions.
This confused Concubine Taizhen even more. The only thing that is certain is that there is indeed such a poem that triggered this change in Yuzhen Palace.
"Tell me, from whom did you all hear this poem?"
Finally, Concubine Taizhen came up with a solution. Let everyone talk about who they heard it from.
"Xiaoying!"
"Xiaomei!"
"Xiaoyue!"
...
When going back all the way, the source of all this is a person that no one can think of:
"Xiao Zhu from Burning Clothes Workshop told me!"
When Xiaozhu from Fenyifang was summoned and knelt on the ground trembling all over, what Concubine Taizhen got was an answer she could never have imagined:
"Your Majesty, calm down! I read that poem from His Royal Highness Song Wang's letter!"
"King Song?!"
Concubine Taizhen was stunned for a moment.
