In the general's mansion.

General Guo set up the incense table, knelt on the ground in military uniform, and listened solemnly to the eunuch reading the imperial edict to him.

Unlike Zhang Tian, ​​he came from the 21st century and dared to look down on the imperial power.

Even if he had decided to rebel before, he would not have been exposed in these insignificant ceremonies.

Moreover, Zhang Tian accidentally extinguished his thoughts of rebellion, and now he was determined to be a loyal minister.

Except for the sentence "The Emperor of Heaven and Mandate, Zhao Yue", Zhang Tian was confused about the rest.

He generally understood that it was a reward for General Guo's military exploits and a commendation for his continued efforts.

After reading an imperial edict, Zhuo Ping said: "Shangxian, the next imperial edict should be yours."

"Okay, you read it."

Zhang Tian naturally did not kneel, and he was the only one present who stood straight.

"Ahem," Zhuo Ping coughed twice and began to read:

The sun, the moon, the stars, the vast heaven and earth. Above the North Palace, the city of Xiangyang is the treasure of our country. I heard that the immortal came from the nine heavens. He rode on the immortal boat, controlled the air, and emitted divine light from his hands, helping Xiangyang to defeat the Hu people. It is a blessing for Xiangyang, a blessing for Nan'an, and a great blessing for me.

However, the two places are far away, and I miss them day and night, but I have never seen the immortal face. Today, I specially issued an edict to implore the immortal to go to the capital Lin'an and give my people a breath of fresh air and bright moon. Although there are towering mountains and rushing waters, they are not as magnificent as the immortals.

If fate is expected, I implore the immortals to stay in the world and stick to appreciate the glory of the world. By then, bamboo mats and pine trunks must be prepared, and they will spread their wings and fly high; phoenixes and carved dragons will respond to each other. Everyone is looking forward to the majestic leader of the immortals.

If the immortals can give me the way to practice Taoism and understand the principles of heaven and earth, they can help me govern the country and bring peace to the world. If the immortals can use their magical powers to help me eliminate disasters and solve problems, the people of the world can be spared from the suffering of war.

In today's world, the government and the people are all looking forward to the arrival of the immortals, and so am I. Not only fame and wealth, but also to concentrate on practicing Taoism, repaying the grace of heaven, and protecting the destiny of China...

…………

Zhuo Ping recited a long speech with ups and downs.

At the beginning, Zhang Tian understood a few sentences, probably praising himself for helping the Nan'an Dynasty in Xiangyang City.

Later, it became more and more boring, all empty words of praise and clichés.

And the scroll in Zhuo Ping's hand seemed to have just been halfway through.

"Ha~~~" Zhang Tian said, "Little table, how much is left?"

"This..." It was the first time that Zhuo Ping was interrupted while reading the imperial edict, but he didn't dare not answer, "Shangxian, there is... there is still half."

The imperial edict given to Zhang Tian was completed by several great scholars under the instruction of Prime Minister Cai An.

The emphasis is on literary talent and magnificence, which must make the immortal happy and delighted.

But to Zhang Tian, ​​it was just a bunch of nonsense.

"There are so many more? Then don't read it. Just tell me the meaning."

"Uh..." Zhuo Ping was stuck.

Would it be considered a loss of royal dignity if he stopped reading halfway? But this is the immortal's request.

There is still so much more to come, and Zhuo Ping didn't dare to press Zhang Tian's head to listen.

Xu Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, was in a dilemma and whispered: "Noble, do as the immortal master said."

"Yes, immortal. The emperor thanks you for your contribution to Xiangyang and hopes to invite you to Lin'an Prefecture to see the immortal face."

"That's all?"

"This is the emperor's will. How about I read the rest of the text to you?"

Zhang Tian yawned again and said: "No need, I will fall asleep if you read it again. I want to ask, doesn't the emperor have any rewards or something?"

"General Guo has a lot of rewards, such as 100 catties of gold and 1,000 pieces of silk. I have contributed so much, but the emperor doesn't want to show any appreciation?"

"Ah?!" Zhuo Ping was dumbfounded.

The emperor and the ministers told him a lot, what the immortal asked and how to answer, there were dozens of them.

But they didn't tell him about rewards.

Subconsciously, everyone thought that immortals didn't need worldly things and didn't think about it at all.

Seeing Zhuo Ping's performance, Zhang Tian knew that he was another stingy person like General Guo.

He had done so much for himself, but he didn't give him anything?

Didn't they say that after traveling to ancient times, there would be all kinds of benefits soon? Why didn't I see any of them?

"Shang... Shangxian, this may be the emperor... The official who drafted the decree was negligent for a while. When Shangxian enters the capital, the emperor will try his best to meet any needs."

"Forget it, I'll just ask, but there's nothing special to ask."

Zhang Tian actually hoped to have two young ladies to flirt with him. He went in and out of the general's mansion all day long, and he saw bull-like men, which was too yang.

Unfortunately, he was too shy to ask.

In addition, he also needed nuclear fuel, but unfortunately, the emperor couldn't give it to him.

Seeing that Shangxian seemed angry, ZhuoPing was uneasy: "Shangxian, I wonder when you will set off?"

"Did the emperor stipulate a time when I should go to Lin'an Mansion?"

"That's not true. It's just that the Emperor is very eager to see you. He hopes to see the Immortal as soon as possible."

"Then let me think about it, I won't necessarily go."

Zhang Tian didn't want to stay away from his supply ship.

If barbarians rob ships again, I can respond in time in Xiangyang City.

When you have free time, you can also go inside the supply ship to repair some minor faults.

Secondly, I have a bit of a homebody personality. Once I have a comfortable place, I don’t want to move.

Xiangyang City has just become half-familiar, let’s play for a few days first.

Zhuoping thought that there was no reward, and the emperor felt that the emperor had neglected him and did not want to set off, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

But he had no power to promise conditions on behalf of the emperor, so he could only look at Xu Wen and General Guo with wide eyes.

"Ahem..., Immortal." General Guo said, "It's October now, and it will snow heavily at any time. If we don't set out now, it will be difficult to walk on this road when the sky is filled with heavy snow."

Zhang Tiandao: "That's not urgent. Anyway, the emperor didn't ask me to go at any time."

General Guo was speechless.

The emperor did not specify when to set off, but as usual, when the imperial edict comes, it is natural to set off as soon as possible.

Whether the days on the way are longer or shorter is easy to say, and I generally won't be too harsh on them.

If you wait all winter like this, you may not go there next year. What is the difference between that and resisting the imperial decree?

When the time comes, the emperor will not dare to punish the immortal, and he might take action on us.

However, if the Immortal doesn't want to move, who dares to force him? Who can force him?

Therefore, General Guo turned his gaze to Xu Wen and said with his eyes: You are a direct disciple, it is your turn.

Xu Wen understood and said: "Master Immortal, Xiangyang is just a border city with frequent wars and is not as prosperous as Lin'an Prefecture. Since the emperor has issued an invitation, why not take this opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the mountains and rivers under the guidance of the noble man? How are you doing?"

Zhang Tian was a little surprised: "I'm not going, why are you more anxious than me? Oh...will the emperor cause trouble for you then?"

General Guo had an "upright" look on his face, raised his fist towards the east, and said: "Now that the emperor is wise, he will not punish innocent people. It's just that the emperor wants to see the immortal too much, and we and other ministers are worried about him."

At this moment, the voice of the intelligent AI came from the earphones: "Captain, if you want to repair the supply ship, the power of one city may not be enough. Only with the help of the manpower and material resources of the entire feudal dynasty can repair be possible."

Zhang Tian put his fist close to his mouth, pretending to be deep in thought, and asked in a low voice: "Can the feudal dynasty also provide nuclear fuel?"

AI said: "Of course not. But with the help of the entire dynasty's power to find uranium ore and find ways to refine it, the success rate will be greatly improved."

Zhang Tian thought about it for a moment and thought it was interesting.

If uranium ore is found, uranium may actually be extracted using the equipment in the supply ship.

In fact, the process of refining uranium is not very complicated, and it can even be done with a centrifuge in a washing machine.

It’s just that the efficiency is not high and the purity is difficult to control.

Zhang Tiandao: "Okay. Then I'll prepare and set off in two days."

Suddenly, everyone was happy.

After seeing Zhang Tian off, Zhuoping left Xu Wen behind and asked, "Mr. Xu, Shangxian just said a few words to himself, and suddenly he figured it out. Do you know why?"
