Transcendent Ember

Chapter 40 Tang Hanlin

Norris left the space in the same boat, and the small space seemed a little empty and lonely for a while.

Zhang Jichuan sat in his seat, rubbing his sore arm, with a lot of thoughts in his heart:

"'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' was bought by a court envoy a few days ago...

"According to Bai Xin, Emperor Hu Jing bought it...

"But tonight, I 'borrowed' the 'Qianlong's Ahu Gun' from the mysterious murderer...

"Does this mean that—

"The murderer is Emperor Hu Jing!"

Even though a long time had passed, Zhang Jichuan was still shocked by this simple reasoning.

"The emperor of a country is the murderer of serial murders. This sentence is absurd when you think about it, but if this emperor is Hu Jing..."

Zhang Jichuan couldn't help but think of the evaluation of Hu Jing by the people he came into contact with: fatuous and incompetent, power left behind, hanging around among actors all day long...

It is said that Gu Yue Kingdom's entertainment industry is the strongest among the five major countries, and it has a lot to do with Emperor Hu Jing.

The famous Tang Hanlin is the most admired screenwriter of Emperor Hu Jing of the Ancient Moon Kingdom...

"It is said that when Hu Jing's father was alive, he had already been emptied, and until Hu Jing ascended the throne, he completely became a puppet emperor...

"But how many emperors are willing to be a puppet?

"If Hu Jing is ambitious and wants to get rid of the situation dominated by the nine nobles and become a powerful extraordinary creature, although it is not the best solution, it is still a good choice...

"If this is the case, he must hide from the nine nobles and quietly increase his strength. In this way, it can be explained that he covered his face and never released the soul crown..."

Zhang Jichuan thought about it, and suddenly frowned, thinking of a flaw: "If this is the case, why does Hu Jing collect extraordinary items related to the emperor with great fanfare? And bind these extraordinary items?"

Zhang Jichuan has reason to believe that the world is so big, apart from 'Kong Ming's Scarecrow', there must be other supernatural objects that have similar supernatural abilities, and can see other people's supernatural objects.

"As the emperor, even if Hu Jing is emptied out, he still doesn't lack high-grade extraordinary items. There is really no reason to take this risk...

"Also, it's too early to equate Hu Jing with the mysterious murderer, maybe Hu Jing has already given the 'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' to others...

"Well, I still have to investigate before I can draw a conclusion. I can make reasonable use of the power of the nobles..."

Prince Fitz held a farewell dinner for Tang Hanlin at Lin Qiao Hotel, the largest in Lingdu.

Prince Fitz is the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor of the Caesar Dynasty. He has a high status. In addition to Tang Hanlin's reputation, almost all the famous nobles, officials, and wealthy businessmen in the whole zero attended the banquet.

The little nobles and officials who didn't receive the invitation also tried their best to sneak into the hotel, trying to catch up with some big shot...

This night, the magnificent Linqiao Hotel became the most eye-catching place in Lingdu. Countless reporters blocked the door, and took pictures of the big figures who arrived one after another with the cameras in their hands...

When Norris arrived at Lin Qiao Hotel, the banquet had already begun.

"Noris!" The elderly Prince Fitz reprimanded severely, "You are late!"

Norris lowered her head obediently, not daring to refute: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Prince."

Prince Fitz's face was not slow, but he was even more serious: "I heard that you came here by car? Norris, what about your noble manners? What did you learn in etiquette classes?"

The car is fast and comfortable, much better than a horse-drawn carriage... Norris thought silently, but she couldn't say this in front of the old antique prince, she could only explain in a low voice: "I'm running out of time..."

Hearing this, Prince Fitz became even more angry: "Noris, as a nobleman, punctuality is the basic quality. Where is your sense of time?"

After a pause, he continued: "I will tell Your Majesty that I will give you an extra two hours of etiquette lessons every day... Forget it, I won't talk about you now, go in quickly, and don't let Mr. Tang Hanlin see the joke."

Norris first had a bitter expression on her face, then bowed slightly as if she had been pardoned: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Prince."

She stuck out her tongue quietly, and walked into the hotel with the hem of her skirt as if fleeing. Seeing Prince Fitz behind her with twitching veins, she yelled, "Pay attention to your manners"...

"call!--"

In the hotel, Norris breathed a sigh of relief, and thought with lingering fear: "The negative ability of 'Apostle Paul's Cross' is that after activating the extraordinary ability, you must confess in the quiet room for half an hour.

"Although I had someone change the carriage into a car, I still couldn't avoid being late...

"Fortunately, Prince Fitz has a lot of guests to entertain today, otherwise he would be reprimanded for at least three hours.

"Hiss, it's scary to think about it!
"Fortunately, I'm not late for too long. I wonder if I can see Mr. Tang Hanlin? He's been here in Caesars Dynasty for so long, and I've never had the chance to meet him. I only saw him on the news...

"I heard that he has been experiencing the local conditions and customs of the various places in the Caesar Dynasty. He rarely had contact with nobles and officials. He only had some writers and screenwriters as his companions. It seems that birds of a feather flock together?
"Today is his first and last public appearance in the Caesar Dynasty...

"Well, find a chance for Mr. Tang Hanlin to sign it, and give it to Ms. Bai Ye next time..."

Norris asked the waiter for a glass of champagne, flying through the crowd like a butterfly.Someone came here especially for her reputation and invited her to dance with her, but she declined with a smile.

After looking around, Norris showed doubts on her face: "Huh? Mr. Tang Hanlin may still be talking to Prince Fitz in the VIP room, which is understandable, but Baron Joulton didn't attend today. Where is he recently? What are you up to, mysterious...

"He is a fan of Mr. Tang Hanlin!
"I don't know if Mr. Siliang is in a hurry. The extraordinary item 'Dongfanghong Satellite' is still in the hands of Baron Joulton..."

Suddenly, Norris saw an acquaintance with a smile on her lips, and quietly went over to pat that person on the shoulder.

The man suddenly turned around: "Noris, don't underestimate the perception of a third-rank extraordinary creature."

"Ah?!" Norris looked embarrassed and said coquettishly, "Teacher, you have already discovered me?"

Ms. Vivienne hooked her mouth: "Of course."

"Teacher~" Norris said sullenly, "Are you trying to see me make a fool of myself?"

Ms. Vivienne smiled and said, "I also saw that you searched for a while, but found nothing."

"Teacher~" Norris coquettishly dragged her long voice.

"Okay, okay." Ms. Vivian surrendered, "Tell me, who are you looking for?"

Norris: "Mr Tomlin and Lord Joulton."

"Mr. Tang Hanlin might be talking to Prince Fitz?" Ms. Vivienne made the same guess as Norris, and immediately she looked suspicious, "But why are you looking for that guy Joulton?"

Norris' eyes flickered: "As entrusted, I have something to discuss with Baron Joulton."

"Okay..." Ms. Vivian didn't pursue it, and said indifferently, "That guy has been acting weird lately. When I see him, I will help you make an appointment with him."

"Thank you, teacher."

At this time, the door of the VIP room opened, and Tang Hanlin and Prince Fitz appeared together.

Different from the formal attire of all the people present, Tang Hanlin dressed a little casually, and it could even be said that it was very inconsistent with the banquet etiquette, but none of the nobles and officials present expressed dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Tang Hanlin devoted all his heart and soul to literary creation, and never spent his mind on other trivial matters. When he participated in the royal banquets of the Xinhua Dynasty, the Nicholas Dynasty, and the Hongji Kingdom, he was even dressed more casually than now..."

"It is said that Mr. Tang Hanlin once met the emperor of Gu Yue Kingdom wearing sour clothes and a scruffy beard. The emperor found out that he had been creating for nearly ten days..."

"This is the real artist!"

……

"Only such people can write works that hit people's hearts, right?" Ms. Vivienne said in a daze.

Norris looked sideways: "The teacher actually likes watching dramas?"

Ms. Vivienne shook her head: "I don't like it, but... Tang Hanlin's drama is an exception. Watching his drama, I will always be hit in the heart. There is a feeling of experiencing the vicissitudes of life. This experience is even helpful for cultivating the power of the soul. , This is the reason Mr. Tang Hanlin is so popular, otherwise why do you think a person in the entertainment industry has such a detached status?"

Norris blinked: "Is there still this hidden secret?"

On the podium, Prince Fitz delivered a speech and solemnly introduced Tang Hanlin to the nobles and officials present at the banquet.

Tang Hanlin's hair was a little long, and it was pulled back casually. His beard hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and he looked a little sloppy.On the hand holding the microphone, there were even some black chips remaining between the nails, and he simply said: "Hello, everyone."

Below, a burst of cheers.

After the cheers stopped, Tang Hanlin continued: "Thank you, Your Excellency, and everyone for seeing me off. I am leaving the Caesars Dynasty tonight..."

After finishing speaking, Tang Hanlin put down the microphone, turned around and was about to leave.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Tonight, in such a hurry?"

"Didn't you leave tomorrow?"

"Did something happen?"

……

Prince Fitz was also a little surprised. With the help of the waiter, he followed Tang Hanlin's footsteps: "Mr. Tang Hanlin, why are you in such a hurry? Is it because I didn't treat you well?"

Tang Hanlin shook his head, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Excellency, I just suddenly felt that there was a loophole in the script, and there is a point that needs to be revised..."

Prince Fitz: "I see... But why do you have to go back to the Ancient Moon Kingdom? Can't you modify the script at zero?"

Tang Hanlin was unmoved: "This script originated in Yujing, and it should end in Yujing. Only by returning to Yujing can I make up for the loophole in the plot that I just thought of."

Prince Fitz frowned slightly, but he had nothing to say. Artists have some eccentricities.

He said helplessly: "Then we can only look forward to the early release of Mr.'s new play."

……

"Hey?"

Below, Norris blinked her eyes, a little confused: "Are you leaving?"

An indescribable strangeness rose in her heart: "Mr. Tang Hanlin's signature was not obtained, Baron Joulton was not found, and he was scolded by His Excellency the Prince for nothing. After that, he will have to take etiquette classes for two more hours every day. Oh my god, what a loss tonight. Why don't you stay in the same boat space and listen to Mr. Siliang talk about the mysterious murderer..."

　It's a holiday, happy May Day everyone, the author wants code words on May [-]st, everyone have fun for me!
