Transcendent Ember

Chapter 221
Jiner's title is a man from Guyuan County, and he is one of the nominal lords of Guyuan County. Every year, a part of Guyuan County's tax revenue will be shared by him, and the rest will be included in the fiscal revenue of Gu Yue Kingdom.

This made Kina a little dissatisfied, and he often thought: "It is said that in ancient times, the lord of a place had absolute control over the local area, and all taxes belonged to the lord. Unlike now, the lord can only get a small share. Blame Qin Huaimin!"

He is very unhappy with his current 'restricted' life.

Keener also had ambitions and wanted to raise his title again. He also went to Yujing in his early years.However, people's wish was not fulfilled, and the big nobles in Yujing didn't think much of the little nobles from this remote area. Jina ran out of money and failed to fulfill his wish.

However, fortunately, he finally got in touch with a subordinate of Supervisor Li Luo, and it was not a waste of time.

With this level of relationship, after returning to Guyuan County, Jina obviously felt that his status had improved a lot. Not only the officials of Guyuan County respected him, but even the officials of Sanyang Province had to give him some points. face
Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances and people have misfortunes and blessings. Just a few months ago, Li Luo's subordinate unfortunately died in the appalling muddle-headed coup. This made Keener feel very depressed and terrified. After the first-level relationship, he obviously felt that the officials of Guyuan County were a little bit ignorant of him.
Keener wondered if it was time to go to Yujing again and make friends with some dignitaries again. He believed that as long as the money was given enough, there would be no intimacy that could not be established.

Before Keener could make up his mind to leave, a huge piece of good news fell from the sky and hit him on the head.

A big man is coming to Guyuan County to experience the fun of digging supernatural objects!

"God helped me too!" Jina was very excited. A nobleman from Shanyang Province told him that as long as he received this big man from Yujing well, it would not be impossible to mention his title.

"It's true that someone handed me a pillow just as I was about to sleep. I'm going to send it, hahahaha." Keener didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered all the servants and maids to go to the provincial capital airport to meet the big man.

It was a very young man, his skin was sickly pale, his eyes were surrounded by deep dark circles, the smell of alcohol could be smelled almost five or six meters away, and he was accompanied by a fiery man Beauty.

The man stepped out of the special plane with the support of the beautiful woman, and in another special plane that had already flown, a group of red and gorgeous luxury cars drove out, like a burning flame.

With a smile on his face, under the arrangement of a guard, Kina sat in the passenger seat of the front car and showed the way to everyone. A nobleman from Sanyang Province accompanied him in the back row.

On the clean road, there was not a single car to be seen, and the fiery convoy was speeding so fast that Keener, who was used to riding in a carriage, was a little frightened, but he saw that the big man seemed to enjoy this speed and passion.

"Could this be the new hobby of the nobles of Yujing?" Keener couldn't help thinking, wondering whether he should get used to riding a sports car, otherwise how could he have a common topic with the big shots.

"Baron Keener, tell Lord Li, what are the good places in your Guyuan County?" At this time, Earl Zheng Yang, a nobleman from the provincial capital, said.

"Master Li, Your Excellency, the best place to go in Guyuan County is of course Mount Tai." Keener quickly replied, for fear of leaving a bad impression on this big man, "That is a famous tourist destination in the five great countries. A resort with beautiful scenery, it is said that more than 1000 years ago, there were countless strange beasts in Taishan Mountain."

"Taishan?" Li Jun hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and was busy with his hands. He was stunned when he heard the name, "I know, my father sent someone to block it?"

"Master Li is really well-informed." Jina flattered and smiled apologetically, "It is said that a seven-color divine light fell on Mount Tai, and it seems to be related to a third-grade extraordinary item, so I will follow the order of His Excellency the Duke. Send people to block Taishan to prevent idlers from entering or leaving.

"But if Lord Li wants to go there, there is no problem. I still hope that Lord Li can guide the work."

He cleverly used the Spring and Autumn strokes to attribute to himself the credit for the joint efforts of several nobles to block Mount Tai.Anyway, the rest of the nobles were not in the car either.
"Cut!" Li Jun curled his lips and sneered, "I don't want to suffer this crime. Although my father asked me to supervise it, I am not that stupid. The third-rank extraordinary items are not carrots. If I can't dig out the third-rank extraordinary items in time, won't I be pushed out to take the blame?

"Besides, Qin Huaimin's people are probably there too, right? I'm too lazy to care about these messy things. You should choose a new place."

"Yes, yes." Keener nodded quickly, his brain spinning wildly, and soon he thought of a new place, "If Mr. Li doesn't want to go to Taishan, maybe you can go to Zhangjia Town, where the scenery is beautiful, not inferior to Taishan , It’s just not very well-known. The local area is also full of a group of poor ghosts, I’ll send someone to buy their land exploration rights, it’s a good solution.”

"Zhangjia Town?" Li Jun waved his hand indifferently, "Okay, then go to Zhangjia Town."

"It's brother guard, drive this way."

After a while, the convoy arrived at Zhangjia Town, and Jina immediately ordered the servants to clear the field, intending to drive away all the extraordinary creatures exploring Zhangjia Town.

But right now.
"Huh?" Li Jun, who was hugging the beautiful woman Qingqing, suddenly gasped in surprise, and the corner of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. He pointed to a mountain road not far away, "I'm going to explore that mountain."

"No problem, I will arrange it here." Keener said quickly.

Gu Yue Kingdom, Xishan Province.

This border province adjacent to the Nicholas Dynasty and supported by the opium economy has also welcomed many extraordinary creatures to explore extraordinary items.It's just that most of these extraordinary creatures have taken precautions, and the air in Xishan Province is full of the smell of opium.

You know, some opium is mixed with special ingredients collected from the overburden, and even the third-rank Chaofan can be addicted.

"Damn opium." A dusty bus was driving on the narrow road. Deng Hui, who was by the window, looked expressionlessly at the opium workshops on both sides of the road. Xishan Province not only imported opium from the Nicholas Dynasty, but also A large number of workshops processed opium themselves.

Even after Operation Cathay began, these opium workshops still did not stop working.

For these workshop owners, instead of stopping work for ten days to try their luck, it is better to process opium honestly.The profits of opium are very considerable.
"If one day I become a powerful extraordinary creature, I will definitely uproot all these opium workshops." Deng Hui clenched his fists secretly, a crazy determination took root in his heart, "Since the laws of Gu Yue Kingdom can't prohibit it, then use violence and force it." prohibit!

"They must not be allowed to harm more people!"

Immediately, Deng Hui let go of his fist, and the corner of his mouth showed a trace of rejoicing: "Fortunately, fortunately, I was recommended by Teacher Xiao Zhang to work as a nurse in Yujing National Hospital. Before I left, I asked Brother Zhou Ji that my father's smoking addiction is not serious. heal!

"When I got home, I immediately took my father to Yujing National Hospital for medical treatment. The medical expenses can be paid slowly by working part-time. No, there is no need to work part-time. Teacher Xiao Zhang said that when I go back to school, I will go to the island of disorder this time. Proceeds from the adventure are distributed and should be enough to pay for Dad's medical bills
"When my father's addiction to smoking is cured and I'm already an extraordinary creature, the situation at home will gradually improve, and my mother won't have to work so hard."

Deng Hui, who was immersed in good expectations, suddenly felt that the bus was driving very slowly, and he couldn't wait to fly home immediately.
Finally, before the sun set, the bus stopped at a familiar location, and Deng Hui grabbed his luggage and walked like flying towards the location of his home.But.
Along with the old houses, there are circles of white wreaths.
boom!
Deng Hui seemed to be struck by lightning, his expression of excitement and anticipation froze, and the blood on his face faded away.

A conjecture came to his mind that made him shudder.
"No, no, no." He shook his head violently, "I described my father's condition to brother Zhou Ji, and he himself said that his father's condition is not too bad, no, definitely not."

Deng Hui dropped his luggage and ran home frantically.

When he came to Yuanba, he saw many relatives who hadn't seen each other for a long time sitting at the banquet table eating wine, talking and laughing, and some were smoking opium
He saw his mother, who was ashen-faced and seemed to have lost her backbone, but had to force herself to take care of the funeral
"Mom..." Deng Hui's heart trembled, he understood everything in an instant, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Ah Hui?" The mother trembled and looked at him in astonishment, but she quickly looked away in the next second, with deep self-blame on her face.

Deng Hui was taken to the mourning hall and saw a coffin.

The mother, whose tears flowed down again, sobbed: "Your father's addiction to cigarettes started, but the family had no money to buy cigarettes for him, so he went to steal the cigarettes, and was found by the guards in the warehouse, and beat your father to death."

Deng Hui stared blankly at his father's portrait in a daze. It was a photo taken many years ago. At that time, his father had not yet become addicted to cigarettes.
He wiped his face, unknowingly already bursting into tears, hissed: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm afraid it will delay your learning."

"."

boom!
Suddenly, under his mother's astonished gaze, Deng Hui suddenly lifted the coffin lid.

He saw his father, who was not in human form, and he was completely different from the portrait.

Mother looked away, unable to bear to look directly.

The next day, my father was buried.

Deng Hui and his mother sent off the neighbors and relatives together, and the whole family suddenly fell into an extreme silence, and the mother and son were relatively speechless.

Deng Hui got up and walked outside.

The mother was shocked and hurried to catch up: "Ah Hui, you... don't go."

Deng Hui didn't turn his head back: "The revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable, I must go."
