Chapter 225 Running away
The words "ku" and "ku", senior brother, even in such a dangerous place, made everyone grin in laughter.

Eunuch Liu even smiled and pinched his fingers and pointed at Zhang Jun: "Okay, no wonder Mr. Zhao can be promoted step by step. It's a pity that you came too late. If he had come a few years earlier, I would have said this to you, Your Majesty. No matter how high or low, I will give it to your feudal official."

Everyone was silent, this was what Eunuch Liu dared to say.

A few years ago, His Majesty wanted to go on a palace tour and had no money, so he was opposed by the ministers.

Finally, a bachelor suggested that local officials be allowed to contribute funds. His Majesty would go to whoever contributed the most money first.

Under this proposal, 800 million taels of silver were quickly collected.

Among them, Yangzhou collected 400 million and 50 taels. As soon as his Majesty was happy, he took the lead in going to Yangzhou.

But when I arrived in Yangzhou, I saw that the people's faces were like vegetables and their families were bare.

After asking, I found out that it turned out that in order to raise money for His Majesty, Yangzhou was conducting a large-scale tax collection, and every household of the people had to chip in.

His Majesty sent someone to ask the Yangzhou magistrate, but the Yangzhou magistrate said that these were voluntary donations from the common people.

He even brought two village guarantors on the spot to confirm what he said was true.

After the two village guardians came, they indeed said that the people donated money voluntarily. His Majesty asked them at that time how they could eat if their family's money had been donated.

The two village guardians said that their families had enough food, but their lives were a little harder, but they were capable of enduring hardships. It didn't matter if they suffered, but they couldn't bear hardships on His Majesty.

It was this sentence that made His Majesty Long Yan so happy that he not only rewarded two villages and secured an official position, but also promoted the Yangzhou magistrate to three levels in a row.

The magistrate of Yangzhou is now the chief minister of the dynasty, Zhang Xianggong.

Therefore, everyone will smile when they hear this sentence.

Zhang Jun didn't know the reason, but he didn't care much about it. Faced with Eunuch Liu's praise, he said shamelessly, cupping his hands and saying: "What virtue is there in a humble position? I can't compare to my father-in-law, your good fortune will last forever."

Everyone had heard Zhang Jun praise Eunuch Liu so many times along the way that they almost vomited.

They all cast contemptuous glances at Zhang Jun.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Huang Mao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and everyone immediately became alert when they saw this.

"The house here... is so big."

"Is there really such a big building in Yingtian Mansion?"

Everyone looked at the house in front of them and raised their heads involuntarily.

If the previous mansion at the entrance to West Street was too small for a cat, then the houses here are more than enough for a giant.

The threshold alone is five meters high, almost as high as the city gates in some places.

And the specifications are all different. Some mansions are obviously built according to the mansions of first-rank officials in the court.

Everyone standing in front of these houses is dwarfed.

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the energy in his body surged, as if he was being pulled by something.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a blood-red sedan running towards him.

"Blood sedan!"

Zhang Jun was shocked in his heart and hurriedly swept his eyes with his eyes. Sure enough, he saw a piece of scarlet blood approaching them in the distance.

No, it’s this joke again.

Zhang Jun realized that something was wrong. He could sense the existence of the blood sedan, and it was most likely the same [Qingyuan Alien Species] he threw in last time.

I can't stay in this place. The blood sedan is most likely here for these people. If the blood sedan finds me, the others will probably be in no trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun glanced at the old eunuch.

After thinking for a moment, he shouted to Huang Mao in front of him: "Brother, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and leave."

Huang Mao turned around and glared at Zhang Jun with an impatient expression.

A scarlet curse flowed through his gray eyes, and he wished he could kill this bastard right now.

But then he thought about Elder Zhao's methods, and he could only swallow this resentment.

If others don't know, how could he not know.

Elder Zhao is a famous eater in the Wu Sheng Sect who eats people without spitting out their bones. On weekdays, if he is slightly annoyed or displeased, it would be easy for him to casually crush two disciples to death for fun.

If I dare to attack Zhao Ju, I am afraid that I will be waiting for my end after I go back...

Huang Mao's anger immediately disappeared when he thought of Elder Zhao's little dark room.

"Hey, what are you still waiting for? You can't hear me, right?"

Seeing that Huang Mao didn't reply, Zhang Jun turned around and said to his father-in-law next to him with an angry look.

"Father-in-law, I'm going to see what this kid is up to."

Eunuch Liu nodded.

"Chang Hui, Xie Mingxuan follow me."

Zhang Jun pulled out the sword from his waist, called Chang Hui and Xie Mingxuan, and prepared to step forward to take a look.

Chang Hui and Xie Mingxuan looked at each other after hearing this.

"Sir, I... have a stomachache."

Xie Mingxuan blushed, lowered his head and covered his stomach.

Zhang Jun curled his lips and looked at Chang Hui.

Chang Hui didn't think too much and just kept up with Zhang Jun's pace.

I wanted to save your life, but you didn't seize the opportunity.

Zhang Jun sighed inwardly and said no more. He strode to Huang Mao's side and put his arm around Huang Mao's shoulders: "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Huang Mao glared at Zhang Jun angrily, and then was about to throw away his hand, but then he saw Zhang Jun staring at him seriously.

Huang Mao was startled, and saw Zhang Jun put his other hand on his chest, and stretched out his index and middle fingers to make a running gesture.

Then he pointed to the left.

Seeing this, Huang Mao looked at the direction he was pointing and immediately understood.Clearing his throat: "I feel like there's something in front of me, but I can't see clearly."

"What? Let me see."

Zhang Jun stuck his head out, took two steps forward, rubbed his eyes, then took two more steps, turned around and said, "No?"

"Just ahead, this way!"

Huang Mao stepped forward and pointed ahead.

Chang Hui followed him further and further, and when he saw that he was getting further and further away from the people behind him, suddenly, Zhang Jun turned around and grabbed Chang Hui: "Let's go!"

After saying "Let's go", Zhang Jun started chasing stars and chasing shadows at his feet. His speed suddenly reached the extreme, and he quickly turned into the dark alley ahead.

Huang Mao cursed in his heart that this dog thief ran so fast, gritted his teeth and followed quickly.

Everyone behind them saw the person walking further and further away, and finally fled into the alley. They were also shocked by this operation.

I don’t know what the two of them are running for.

Eunuch Liu raised his eyelids, looked at Zhang Jun's fleeing back with a half-smile, and snorted coldly: "You have borrowed so much luck from our family, and you still want to leave."

As he said that, he was ready to catch up.

But as soon as he moved, he stopped and looked at the white mist in front of him suspiciously.

"Boom boom boom!"

“The bride arrives, the bride smiles, and the bride gets on the big sedan chair.

The officials were crying and making noise, and the mourning hall was really lively.

Officer, officer, run slowly, be careful of your intestines falling..."

A group of children ran out of the white mist, rushed in front of everyone, opened their hands and shouted a nursery rhyme with a smile: "Give happy money, give happy money, bring the red envelope, otherwise the groom will not get on the sedan."

While talking, a sedan dripping with blood slowly floated out from behind the children.

Liu Zhengchun looked at the chubby little boy standing in front of him, impatiently took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his lips: "We are a eunuch and cannot be a groom."

The boy didn't seem to believe it when he heard this, and pointed at Liu Zhengchun's crotch: "Grandpa, I want this!"

Liu Zhengchun's face was expressionless.

The boy frowned and clapped his hands together, only to find nothing. He couldn't help but be disappointed.

As for the rest of the people, they were not so lucky.

They were all pestered by the children, pointing to certain parts of their bodies and begging for them.

"Brother, brother, your eyes are so beautiful. Give me your eyes."

Xie Mingxuan was stunned for a few seconds, feeling regretful in his heart.

Now I know why Mr. Zhao asked me to come with him.

Qi Dongyang and the others had encountered this trick before, and when they came back, they shared the process with everyone. They knew that as long as these children asked for something three times and refused to give it, the sedan behind them would eat people.

Gritting his teeth: "Take it."

As soon as the baby in front of him clapped his hands, Xie Mingxuan immediately felt a burning sting in his left eye, blood flowed out, and he almost fainted from the wait.

No one expected Xie Mingxuan to be so decisive.

Looking at the child in front of him again, his expression was complicated for a moment.

The look on his face was more complicated, and he was still like King Rui.

Three children unexpectedly appeared beside him at the same time, making King Rui's face instantly turn pale.

But the strange thing is that the three children did not ask for anything, they just held hands and circled around King Rui.

"This is the red sedan you were talking about."

At the corner in the distance, Huang Mao's fingers were making secrets, and a bronze mirror in his hand actually broadcast the current situation of King Rui and others.

Zhang Jun glanced at the bronze mirror.

【Telescope】(rare)

You can view any corner within a thousand miles.

But this mirror is just an imitation. It can only observe the places you have been. If you have not been there, you cannot detect it.

Mission: Looking at the world through a mirror.

Use the telescope to observe any twelve places within a thousand miles of the world.

Mission Difficulty: Low
Mission reward: three wishing stars.

"Yes, it is this thing. This thing is too weird and cannot be cracked. Fortunately we avoided it, otherwise we would be unlucky now."

As he spoke, Zhang Jun looked at Huang Mao: "You owe me a big favor this time. If it weren't for me, they would definitely push you out to be the groom."

"Really?"

"Of course, I am your junior brother, how could I harm you?"

Zhang Jun said without blushing.

Huang Mao looked at Zhang Jun suspiciously, obviously not believing what he said.

But it is indeed a good choice to separate from these people now. After all, King Rong is dead. If he stays in the team, he will only be used as a pathfinder.

"What should we do now?"

Huang Mao looked around, but he didn't know which direction to go next.

Zhang Jun actually didn't know. He looked around with his dark eyes. He glanced around and saw a dazzling white light in the distance. He didn't know where it was, but he had nowhere to go at the moment, so he simply went to see where it was. Where.

"This way."

Zhang Jun pointed forward, but did not move.

Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, then glared at Zhang Jun with a resentful look, and walked in front silently...
