Chapter 685 Golden Hammer
Not long after walking, the Xiling envoy heard the faint sound of musical instruments playing from ahead.
"Where's the sound?"
The masked woman in the Dawan Kingdom's carriage asked.
The maid following the motorcade said: "I heard from the officials of Daqian Honglu Temple that the Emperor Daqian was holding a hundred opera performances in the capital. It is said that it started a few days ago and lasted until the end of the month."
"I heard from officials in Daqian that the performances of these hundreds of operas are more lively at night, with bright lights. There are more than 18,000 musicians playing alone, and there are 5,000 steps around the venue."
< br>
After the maid finished speaking, she couldn't help but admire: "Daqian is really rich. How much money does such a grand performance cost? We, all the Xiling countries together, probably can't even do it."
The masked woman didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "It's just the people who care about the people."
After walking for another ten miles, the Xiling delegation arrived at the capital of Daqian.
Daqian capital is divided into inner city and outer city.
After entering the outer city, I saw a steady stream of people and an endless stream of cars and horses.
On both sides of the street, various stalls line up, and the vendors are extremely enthusiastic. Fresh fruits and vegetables, sweet pastries, exquisite silks, all kinds of porcelain...the dazzling array of products is dizzying.
The Xiling mission was filled with exclamations from time to time.
Even the trees on both sides of the street will be wrapped with silk.
Even the most ordinary vendors are wearing gorgeous clothes.
Even the vendors selling vegetables on the street use dragon beard mats to pave the floor.
The eaves of the shops on both sides of Zhuque Street are uniform in style.
The officials of Honglu Temple who came to welcome the delegation looked proud and held their heads high when they heard the compliments from time to time. They accompanied the delegations from the Xiling countries along the street and introduced the capital of Daqian. bustling.
The masked woman sitting in the Dawan Kingdom carriage opened the door curtain, looked outside for a while, and suddenly asked: "Master Zheng, those people ate in the wine shop, why didn't they pay?"
< br>
In a restaurant not far away, several barbarians were eating and drinking. After they were full, they turned around and left.
Lord Zheng smiled and said: "Your Highness the Saint, you don't know something. Our country is extremely rich, rich in materials, and hospitable. We will not charge a penny for any foreign friends who come to the restaurants in the capital to eat meat and drink wine. You are welcome." Friends often come to visit.”
No need to pay for meals?
Everyone in the Xiling mission was filled with surprise.
The Saint of Xiling asked calmly: "Since Daqian is so rich, why did we encounter so many hungry people who had no food to eat and were skinny and yellow on the way here?"
"This..."
Mr. Zheng's smile froze, hesitating for a moment, and then he said in a haha, "Your Highness, the vast territory of Daqian, it is inevitable that there will be some people who are industrious and indolent. Now, the emperor is holy, and the heaven has sent auspiciousness to these people. It’s their own fault if they don’t have enough to eat.”
"Oh."
The Saint of Xiling added: "I'm a little puzzled. Daqian is so rich that even the trees beside the street are wrapped with silk. Why not make these silks into clothes to help the poor who have no clothes to wear?"
A group of officials from Honglu Temple looked at each other with awkward expressions.
Lord Zheng smiled sarcastically and said: "Your Highness the Saint, look at how many poor people there are in our capital."
The Saint of Xiling lowered the curtains and said no more.
A group of officials from Honglu Temple breathed a sigh of relief.
These two sentences just made them break into a cold sweat.
Just behind the Xiling mission, there was also a convoy of missions from the Wusun Kingdom.
In addition to Feng Xuyu, Mei Yingxue, Meng Liangyu, Lingguang, Yan Qi, including Li Zhongmou, Li Shuhu and others from Liangzhou all transformed themselves into members of the Wusun Kingdom mission and followed the mission into the city openly. .
When the people of Wusun State saw such a prosperous and prosperous scene in Daqian Capital, they felt incredible and were amazed.
Although Feng Xuyu hadn't been to Daqian Capital for a long time, he could tell after just a few casual glances.
He left the Wusun Mission with Mei Yingxue and others, found a random inn, booked a few rooms, and ordered a table of wine and food.
"Boss, how much is the total?"
Feng Xuyu asked.
The innkeeper quickly smiled and said: "We don't charge money. We are rich because of our work. All friends are welcome to come and be our guests."
"Here comes the boss, let's have a drink together."
Feng Xuyu greeted.
The innkeeper couldn't refuse, so he followed him over and had a few drinks with him.
Under Feng Xuyu's deception, the innkeeper had a few more drinks, his face turned red, and he gradually started chatting with Feng Xuyu and others.
At the beginning, Feng Xuyu chatted with him all over the world, and after changing cups and cups, the innkeeper regarded him as a confidant and was impressed by his knowledge.
While talking, Feng Xuyu secretly pushed a silver ingot over and said, "Take it, I know it's not easy for you."
A trace of bitterness appeared on the face of the innkeeper, and he sighed softly.
Feng Xuyu asked: "Will the court finally pay this money?"
The innkeeper shook his head and said: "In name, it's from the imperial court, but in fact, it's us who take care of it first. Even if they don't give it, we don't dare to ask for it."
"If you wait until the end, you can give us 50%, so you have to be grateful."
——
Taiwei Mansion.
A black figure suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in an extremely remote courtyard of the Taiwei Mansion, the Agarwood Villa.
It wasn't until the man in black robe walked away for a while that the dozen or so guards in the yard noticed him.
"Who!"
Someone immediately shouted and asked.
Bang bang bang!
Chen Tang moved and came to the group of guards. With three punches and two kicks, he knocked down more than a dozen guards.
Yu Wenmao is not in Taiwei's Mansion. For Chen Tang, going back and forth here is like entering a deserted place.
His ears twitched, and soon he heard a faint breathing sound in the courtyard.
Chen Tang came to a room and with a gentle push, the locked door shattered, revealing a prison inside.
"You are?"
Mrs. Lu, who was in prison, heard the movement outside the door and looked over subconsciously.
The light in the room was dim, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while. Her vision was blurred, and she was unable to recognize Chen Tang immediately.
"Mrs. Lu, it's me."
When Chen Tang came closer and said something, Mrs. Lu could see clearly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Is it you? Chen Tang?"
Mrs. Lu couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Why are you here?"
Mrs. Lu quickly said: "This is the Taiwei's Mansion!"
Chen Tang said: "It's a long story. Lu Qing asked me to come. Get out of here first."
"Did you get the key?"
Mrs. Lu asked: "The chains of this prison are made of the finest cold iron from the extreme northern cold regions. Only Yu Wenmao has the key..."
Click!
Before Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she saw Chen Tang step forward, break the chain on the prison door, and open the door.
"..."
Mrs. Lu was stunned.
In the past few years, she had been locked up here without seeing the light of day, and had no idea what was going on outside.
However, occasionally the senior brother would come to see him and mention something to him.
Last time I talked about Chen Tang, my senior brother also said that after Chen Tang slaughtered the dragon, he was buried in the East China Sea.
Moreover, in her impression, Chen Tang was still the young man with seventh-level and eighth-level cultivation. How could he have transformed to this point after not seeing him for several years?
Or is it that the prison chain itself is fake?
"Can Mrs. Lu still walk?"
Chen Tang asked when he saw Lu Yunyan standing there with a blank expression and motionless. "Yes, I can walk."
Lu Yunyan came back to his senses, nodded quickly and said, "It's just that the food delivered every day is poisonous and can't lift the internal energy."
Without saying a word, Chen Tang stepped forward and put two fingers on Lu Yunyan's wrist.
Lu Yunyan's whole body was shaken, and she felt an extremely pure, condensed and powerful aura pouring into her body instantly, wandering around her body, extremely domineering.
The poison that originally remained in her body quietly disintegrated and disappeared without a trace under the wash and baptism of this breath!
In just a few breaths, the poison in her body was gone!
"Is this Xiantian Qi?"
Lu Yunyan asked in disbelief.
Only with innate Qi can one have the ability to resolve many poisons.
However, she really couldn't believe that the young man in front of her in his early twenties had already entered the innate world!
Chen Tang nodded, without explanation, and led Lu Yunyan out of the room.
"How do we get out?"
Lu Yunyan said: "The Taiwei Mansion is heavily guarded..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Before she could finish her words, Chen Tang grabbed her wrist, and with the yin and yang qi surging under her feet, she jumped directly into the air and flew towards the Suzaku Gate.
——
Suzaku Gate.
On the city wall, all civil and military officials have arrived.
Here, you have the best view, and you can have a panoramic view of Zhuque Street, the markets in the outer city, and the stage.
Emperor Daqian will receive foreign envoys from all over the world here, and Zhuque Street will be filled with banquets to accept the worship of people from all over the world.
Under the Suzaku Gate.
A temporary execution platform more than one foot high was built.
At this moment, a group of Xuanwu guards escorted the disheveled and pale Yuan Qingmo, stumbled to the execution platform, and pushed him to his knees on the ground.
On the left and right sides, there was an executioner holding a knife.
Yuan Qingmo glanced around, and when he saw this person, he just smiled lightly and looked away.
This was once Qilin Sizhong, his right-hand man, Tai Shiqu.
In the beginning, he was the one who asked this person to go to Wujiang Mountain to take Chen Tang to Beijing.
But after he was in trouble, Tai Shiqu was the first to jump out, follow the little emperor's words, and testify against him on many crimes, in exchange for glory, wealth and peace.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and that's okay.
Yuan Qingmo had already seen through it.
He was tired too.
Death may be a relief for him.
"Your Highness, don't blame me."
Taishi Qu said coldly: "Since you have offended Tianyan, there is only one way to die if you follow me. The situation is like this. I don't want to die, let alone be implicated by you. Today, I am here to carry out the execution, and I will give you a good pleasure to repay you." The kindness of knowing someone. ”
"Thank you."
Yuan Qing smiled silently.
As time went by, more and more foreign missions gathered here, and the place was crowded. At first glance, it was dark and bustling.
At noon today, Emperor Daqian will host a state banquet in front of Zhuque Gate to receive diplomatic missions from various countries.
"Your Majesty, long live our emperor!"
On the walls of the inner city, there was a sound of worship.
Yuan Qingmo looked up.
I saw Yuan Taiping standing on the city wall surrounded by everyone, like stars over the moon.
As if feeling Yuan Qingmo's gaze, Yuan Taiping looked down at him and suddenly asked: "Where is the Minister of Honglu Temple?"
"I'm here!"
Honglu Temple Minister quickly stood up.
Yuan Taiping asked: "Tell me, after these foreign missions came to Beijing and saw the prosperous scene of Daqian Capital, what were their reactions and what did they say?"
"Report to Your Majesty."
The Minister of Honglu Temple smiled and said: "The guests from outside were amazed at the wealth and prosperity of my Daqian and the treasures. Everyone was extremely shocked. They praised His Majesty's name and said that Your Majesty is the most wise and benevolent emperor in history."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, okay!"
After Yuan Taiping heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed and praised repeatedly. He silently shouted at Yuan Qing, who was kneeling on the execution platform under the Zhuque Gate, and asked: "Rebellious officials and traitors, have you heard this!"
Yuan Qing remained silent.
Next, there are the tribute gifts presented by various countries in turn, each of which is full of exotic characteristics.
Yuan Taiping was very happy to see it.
When it was the turn of the Wusun Kingdom, the envoys from the Wusun Kingdom brought over two carriages. There was a round thing on the carriage, which was covered with a lid, so you couldn't see what was inside.
It looked like the thing on this carriage was so heavy that it would take four horses to pull it.
The wheels made a squeaking sound as they pressed down on Zhuque Street.
"What is this?"
Yuan Taiping asked curiously
"These are a pair of golden hammers forged by our Wusun Kingdom. Each one weighs a thousand catties. They are specially presented to Emperor Daqian."
A Wusun envoy put one hand on his chest, bowed and said.
"Oh?"
Yuan Taiping was slightly startled.
The Wusun envoy stepped forward and pulled off the curtain covers on both sides, revealing a pair of huge golden hammers, shining with golden light.
Among the barbarian envoys, some people saw the pair of golden hammers, frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
This pair of golden hammers looks like two weapons.
It is somewhat similar to the weapon of Ba Shi Chifeng, the master of the Barbarian Wild Lion Tribe.
However, the domineering lion Chifeng uses a pair of copper hammers.
After the body dies, it is lost and its whereabouts are unknown.
Yuan Taiping's eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Interesting, this gift is quite unique."
When it was the turn of the Dawan delegation, Yuan Taiping couldn't help but look down, stood up and asked, "Who is the Saint of Xiling?"
"See Your Majesty."
In the carriage, the Saint of Xiling opened the door curtain and walked out. She stood in front of the carriage and did not salute. She just said something in a calm tone.
"Huh?"
The moment Yuan Taiping saw the Saint of Xiling, his eyes lit up.
This Saint of Xiling is obviously covered with a veil, and her appearance cannot be seen, but for some reason, this girl's whole body and every move exudes a kind of magic, which seems to be able to enchant the soul and make people's hearts beat!
The aqua robe looks quite wide, and you can't even see her figure underneath.
But the more this happens, the more I have the desire to lift up my robe and explore it carefully!
He couldn't explain why, but Yuan Taiping just glanced at the Saint of Xiling and felt hot all over his body, and subconsciously licked his lips.
"Huh?"
Yuan Qingmu, who was standing next to him, let out a light sigh, seeming to realize something.
She felt familiar with this Xiling Saint.
I'm afraid this person has also practiced similar techniques!
