Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong stayed in Xingwei Palace for a few days, and the power of imagery circulated normally without any change.

I wanted to ask Master about the next step, but I went to the main hall, but I didn't see Master.

Turning to ask Bai Yueshan, Doctor Bai said: "Master left three days ago, please let me tell you before leaving, if there is no abnormality in the power of imagery, you can leave."

Xu Zhiqiong left Xingxiu Corridor and arrived at Shenlin City. He originally planned to visit Yuyao Palace, but suddenly he felt the ghost jade trembling on his chest, and Chang Decai was looking for him.

Chang Decai has been looking for him for two days.

When it was time to punish the criminals, Chang De said anxiously: "Hong Zhenkang got the money, 500 million taels."

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Where did he get the money?"

"It was given to him by a Tunu merchant."

"Tunu merchant?"

Isn't this nonsense?

Tunu people are masters in Qiancheng Kingdom, how could they give money to Hong Zhenkang?
Even if there was too much money to spend, why didn't he give it to King Tunu, but to Hong Zhenkang?
Let Hong Zhenkang turn a corner and give it to King Tunu?
Isn't this full?

Furthermore, how could a businessman easily get 500 million silver?
Chang Decai said: "Master, this matter is absolutely true, the white money, Qin Yan saw it with her own eyes!"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since it's delivered, we'll keep it. Could it be that the money is too much?"

He asked Xia Hu to dispatch people to prepare to rob the money.

After the manpower was fully allocated, Xu Zhiqiong went to the Prince Shu's Mansion to find out the route for Hong Zhenkang to send the money.

Hong Zhenji also heard about this matter: "Marquis Yun, as far as I know, the five million silver has already been sent to King Tunu's capital."

Another nonsense!
"How far is King Tunu from God's Lincheng? Can it be delivered in just a few days?"

Hong Zhenji said: "This Tunu businessman is named Duan Zifang. It is said that he knows some magic skills, and he moved all 500 million silver to Tunu King's Capital in one day."

spell?

This kind of thing, even Tao Huayuan, who is best at magic circles, can't do it!

Duan Zifang?
It's not like a Tunu name either.

"King Shu, help me pay more attention to this person!"

……

Xu Zhiqiong was not the only one who paid attention to Duan Zifang, but also Hong Juncheng.

Hong Juncheng invited Duan Zifang to the Shenhe Hall and hosted a banquet.

Inviting Tunu people to a banquet requires certain risks. For Qiancheng Kingdom and some small countries around it, the quality of the Tunu people on the table is outrageous. Inviting Tunu people to dinner is basically a process of self-inflicted humiliation.

Duan Zifang was just a businessman in Tunu, and when he entered the palace, he should restrain himself in front of the emperor.

But to what extent the restraint is unknown. When Yuan Chengfeng was in charge of foreign affairs, he was humiliated by many Tunu civilians.

To this end, Hong Juncheng made full preparations. He used the meal sharing system to keep a distance from Duan Zifang as much as possible.

But the most important preparation is with the historian. No matter what happens on the scene, the historian can use the most decent way to record the most decent strokes.

Hong Juncheng's preparations were very proper, but Duan Zifang's performance was unexpected.

When seeing Hong Juncheng, Duan Zifang didn't kneel down. It is impossible for Tunu people to kneel to Qiancheng people. Hong Juncheng never expected this.

But other than that, Duan Zifang was very polite, at least in line with a foreigner's respect and respect for the emperor.

During the dinner, Hong Juncheng greeted Duan Zifang's family, and Duan Zifang expressed his gratitude to Hong Juncheng according to the etiquette.

Hong Juncheng asked about Duan Zifang's business again, Duan Zifang made a brief introduction, and at the same time hoped that Qianchengguo would take more care of his business.

Hong Juncheng immediately promised that Tunu is a friend of Qiancheng, Duan Zifang is a friend of Qiancheng, and that Duan Zifang's business in Qiancheng will receive special care from Qiancheng.

It's all bullshit.

In the Qiancheng Kingdom, the imperial decree does not necessarily count, and the imperial edict does not necessarily count. The so-called caring is also a very vague concept, and such polite words have no practical meaning.

But Duan Zifang was very grateful for this, and made a special request to open a shop in Shenlin City.

The Qiancheng Kingdom does not allow private businesses to do business. Hong Juncheng naturally cannot agree to this kind of thing, so he can only make a few perfunctory jokes.

Duan Zifang was not annoyed, and still maintained a humble and respectful attitude.

Seeing Duan Zifang being so respectful, Hong Juncheng specifically asked about the origin of his name.

Hong Zhenkang was also curious about this matter, why is the name of a Tunu people so similar to that of Qiancheng people?
But Hong Zhenkang didn't dare to ask, if he casually asked about Tunu's personal affairs, Tunu might turn his back on him at any time.

After Hong Juncheng asked, Duan Zifang replied respectfully: "Great god, my real name is Baolu Luocha. Because I love the words of Qiancheng, I named myself Qiancheng. Over time, even pictures Nu people also like to call me by my Qiancheng name."

Some Qiancheng people in the northern border named themselves Tunu out of admiration for Tunu, which happened quite often.

The Tunu people named Qiancheng, this is the first time I have heard of it.

Hong Juncheng raised his glass, showing a deep smile: "But for the good of the two clans, please drink this cup to the brim."

Duan Zifang quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Qin Yan ordered the waiter to pour wine for Duan Zifang.

In Yuyao Palace, Xu Zhiqiong lit up his magical eyes, and with the help of Qin Yan's perspective, he observed the situation at the banquet.

Qin Yan had previously sent news that Hong Juncheng was entertaining Duan Zifang tonight, and Xu Zhiqiong really wanted to see what this businessman looked like.

He saw Qin Yan, Hong Juncheng, and Hong Zhenkang who was by his side.

But Xu Zhiqiong didn't see Duan Zifang.

On Duan Zifang's seat, Xu Zhiqiong only saw a thick cloud of mist.

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and looked at the stone eye in his hand.

Stone Eye's eyeballs trembled, as if he was also very puzzled by the fog.

Who is Duan Zifang?

Although he is not from Qiancheng, why can't he be seen from Qin Yan's perspective?
Xu Zhiqiong mobilized the power of imagery to let Shiyan follow Hong Zhenkang's perspective.

In the end, the situation was the same, Shenji still couldn't see Duan Zifang.

Xu Zhiqiong poured more power of imagery into Shiyan, and he wanted to try a method he had never used before.

He wants to observe a certain designated place with his magical eyes.

Shen Shuliang has mastered this method, but his method requires a series of complex manipulations by using the chaotic air mechanism. Xu Zhiqiong is not a chaos cultivator, so this method is too difficult for him.

He tried to use the power of imagery to control Shenjiyan to observe the situation of Shenhe Hall.

This requires a tacit understanding between him and Shiyan, which cannot be expressed in words.

After trying twice, images gradually appeared on the originally blank eyes of Shenji.

It was Shenhe Hall, Xu Zhiqiong succeeded, but the power of imagery was a bit consumed.

The picture focuses on the dishes on Hong Juncheng's table, Xu Zhiqiong raises his angle of view, and gradually sees the whole picture of Shenhe Hall.

But he still couldn't see Duan Zifang.

Duan Zifang's seat was still shrouded in fog.

Xu Zhiqiong was very puzzled.

What method did he use?
Why can he escape the Eye of Chaos?

……

After the banquet was over, Hong Juncheng sat silently in the library, speculating on Duan Zifang's true identity.

There are two reports on the table, both of which are envoys sent by Qiancheng to Tunu.

A report was an understanding conveyed by King Tunu through an envoy. After receiving 500 million silver, King Tunu stated that he would not pursue the various misunderstandings in the past for the time being.

The other is the result of the envoy's investigation of Duan Zifang's identity. Duan Zifang is indeed a Tunu businessman with a large family business, and has contacts with many Tunu dignitaries.

Hong Juncheng thought about it for a long time, and always felt that this matter was quite strange.

Putting aside all appearances and only looking at the essence of the matter, Duan Zifang paid 500 million silver, but it was difficult to get benefits in Qiancheng Kingdom. As a businessman, he had almost nowhere to go in Qiancheng Kingdom.

What is the purpose of Duan Zifang?
After thinking for a long time, Hong Juncheng thought of an organization that started in Tunu and is still struggling to survive in Tunu.

Nufu teaches!
After leaving the Book Pavilion, Hong Juncheng came to Jingjiezhai.

Jingjie Zhai is one of the places where the gods go alone. The rules here are stricter than other places. In some places, no one except Hong Juncheng is allowed to enter.

The carved building he went to tonight is such a place, even Qin Yan can't enter this carved building, so he can only wait downstairs.

Qin Yan called a servant and told him to prepare some tea soup.

The servant understood, and when he left Jingjiezhai, he quietly touched the painting on his chest.

Xu Zhiqiong received the induction of painting, and continued to follow Qin Yan's sight with his magical eyes.

He locked his sights on Diaolou.

Can you see what's going on in the carved building?

This takes more effort.

……

Sitting on the second floor of Diaolou, Hong Juncheng released a bit of arrogance, and a vague figure appeared in the room.

No facial features, no physical features can be seen, only vague outlines with some faint light.

The figure looked very painful under the domineering entanglement. After a long time, Hong Juncheng asked, "Do you recognize Duan Zifang?"

A weak voice came to my ears: "I don't recognize this person."

It was Liang Xiaoen, that vague figure was his primordial spirit.

"I don't know?" Hong Juncheng smiled, "Leaving your primordial spirit, I thought it would be useful, but now it seems that it is not very useful."

The arrogance in the room suddenly increased, and Liang Xiaoen's soul was seriously distorted, and he could no longer see the human form.

"Uncle, spare my life. I will obey and be loyal to my uncle."

There were constant begging voices in his ears, but Hong Juncheng remained indifferent.

Liang Xiaoen's primordial spirit was about to dissipate in the distortion, a powerful aura dilutes Hong Juncheng's arrogance.

Hong Juncheng raised his eyebrows, this aura was extremely strange, it was difficult to judge its quality, but it was extremely powerful!

Who is this person, actually broke into the palace!

Hong Juncheng remained calm, constantly releasing domineering aura, forming a stalemate with the powerful opponent's aura.

Under the tearing of the two energies, cracks appeared in Liang Xiaoen's primordial spirit.

"Want to take him away?" Hong Juncheng whispered with a smile, "I'll let him be wiped out, and let you take away a piece of dust."

The opponent's aura gradually calmed down, and Hong Juncheng restrained his domineering aura slightly.

The battle seemed to end so quietly.

Hong Juncheng was trying to track down the quality of the other party's aura, when he suddenly saw a strange scene in front of him.

A bamboo dragon.

The bamboo dragon was spitting out water, with steaming hot water.

Water flows into a pool with wooden discs floating on the surface.

There are two small dishes and a jug of wine on the wooden plate.

A girl soaked in the soup spring and poured a glass of wine.

Another girl picked up a side dish and handed it to her mouth.

This is……

Tangquan in Huazhou.

A voice came from my ear: "Liang Zhenrui, are you homesick?"

Hong Juncheng trembled all over, his vigorous domineering suddenly became disorganized.
