Chapter 18 The Two Treasures Are Available
"Make trouble!" Kou Zhong looked at thousands of well-equipped imperial guards and Zuo Xiaoyou, who was chatting and laughing by Yang Guang, and kept scratching his hair with both hands: "What should I do? It seems that the evil emperor's relics were taken away by Zuo Ning. What else should we rob! Go home quickly and take a shower and go to bed!"
Xu Ziling also smiled bitterly. Although they had never seen Zuo Xiaoyou's power with their own eyes, they had already had a clear understanding of the strength of the masters in the world for two years. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, that is not the super big boss they dare to fight against. However, even such Yin Queen was easily subdued by Zuo Xiaoyou. He was simply the king among bosses. He probably didn't have level 100 and full of magical equipment, and he would die if he went up.
Although Ba Fenghan was full of fear, his eyes flashed with excitement: "Zuo Ning! If you can compete with him, you will have no regrets in this life."
"Hey, I said rheumatism and cold, don't dream." Kou Zhong patted his shoulder and looked at him with a 'caring' look: "If you really dare to fight Zuo Ning, we will definitely help you clean up."
Ba Fenghan glared at him viciously, but he was speechless.
Before dawn, all the gold and silver treasures were sent to the palace. After counting, Yang Guang's mouth was almost shaking. The gold and silver treasures in Yang Gong's treasure house were equivalent to the national GDP for thirteen years, which was enough to support the national treasury expenses in the third year of the Sui Dynasty.
"A virtuous son-in-law is really a lucky star of the Great Sui Dynasty!" As the chief minister, Yang Guang praised Zuo Xiaoyou without hesitation, but Zuo Xiaoyou had reached the level of a Duke, married his daughter, and then he was the prince. However, Zuo Xiaoyou got too many treasures, and no one would say anything even if he was a prince.
But the question is, what if Zuo Xiaoyou makes contributions later...
The great achievements shocked the Lord. Not all emperors were Adou. Yang Guang was also an enterprising emperor, but Zuo Xiaoyou made too many contributions. Even if Zuo Xiaoyou had saved his life and gave him too much help, he could not help but be afraid. Although Zuo Xiaoyou did not show interest in the throne, what if he got tired of the brain one day?
Throughout history, how many founding kings have been determined to be emperors from the beginning? No, they have reached that position step by step, and they have to do it. Even if you don’t want to be emperor, the civil servants and military generals around you will force you to push you to the throne. If you don’t become an emperor, they will not be able to follow the dragon’s merits. Where did you place them?
In other words, Kou Zhong, the idiot, didn't care at all, and gave half of the sky he had captured to Li Shimin for nothing. He was simply a slut.
Although he was afraid, Yang Guang still ordered Zuo Xiaoyou to be named King Wen. However, after the reward, he also chatted with Zuo Xiaoyou alone: "Son-in-law, if you make great contributions in the future, how should I reward you?"
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Don't worry, when you return to Yangzhou this time, your son-in-law will concentrate on developing Yangzhou and will not cause trouble for your father-in-law." He paused: "If necessary, your son-in-law will also do something self-deprecating."
"Self-defiled?" Yang Guang seemed very interested: "What will a virtuous son-in-law do?"
"For example..." Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a while and said with a smile: "The son-in-law still likes beautiful women very much. There are so many beauties in the world, how could the son-in-law let go!"
Yang Guang laughed loudly and pointed at Zuo Xiaoyou: "A good son-in-law is really a man's true nature! Hahaha..."
After dispelling Yang Guang's worries, Zuo Xiaoyou prepared to set off and return to Yangzhou, but before returning to Yangzhou, he did one thing, which was to go to Cihang Jingzhai.
Cihang Jingzhai was on the Emperor's Peak in Zhongnan Mountain outside Daxing City. Because it was a private matter, Zuo Xiaoyou did not inform anyone and secretly flew to Cihang Jingzhai.
In Cihang Jingzhai, Zuo Xiaoyou felt the breath of Shi Feixuan, and there was also a breath that was stronger than Shi Feixuan. After thinking for a moment, Zuo Xiaoyou probably guessed the identity of this person. He must be Fan Qinghui, the contemporary master of Cihang Jingzhai.
Zuo Xiaoyou did not alarm these people. After expanding his perception range, he felt a strange energy in one place. Then he flew silently to the room and saw a very grand seal that was missing a corner.
Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes lit up and he immediately reached out to grab the seal, but the next moment, he felt a strong and strange energy coming towards him, as if he was about to destroy his spirit and tendons.
But Zuo Xiaoyou opened the storage space directly before this and put it in. But the expression of the breath in an instant still alarmed Fan Qinghui, and then he heard: "Who!?" A figure rushed towards the room.
Zuo Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes, opened the window and rushed out. After Fan Qinghui rushed in, he saw a black shadow moving away quickly. The speed was like a ghost, which reminded her of an old friend Shi Zhixuan!
Fan Qinghui's face changed, she turned her head and looked at a certain direction, and her expression changed drastically: "No! The imperial seal was stolen!"
At this time, Shi Feixuan also came to this room. When he heard Fan Qinghui's exclamation, he hurriedly asked: "Master, has the imperial seal been stolen?"
Fan Qinghui's face turned pale: "I'm late for the teacher, and I only saw a black shadow leaving."
"Who can steal the imperial seal silently?" Shi Feixuan's face changed drastically. He couldn't believe that there were anyone in the world who could steal things from Cihang Jingzhai, and even silently.
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but after thinking about it, Shi Feixuan shook his head again: It shouldn't be him.
"Although I can't see it clearly, my body movement is very similar to a great enemy of my master back then." Fan Qinghui said in a deep voice.
"Master's great enemy back then?" Shi Feixuan was slightly stunned and his face changed: "Is it the Evil King?"
"Besides him, I really couldn't imagine anyone else who could steal the imperial seal." Fan Qinghui pondered for a moment and said, "But if it was not Shi Zhixuan's doing, then there seemed to be only one person in the world who could do it."
"Master said..." Seeing Fan Qinghui's gloomy face, Shi Feixuan felt nervous: "Is it Zuo Ning?"
"If Zuo Ning's martial arts skills are really high to that level, what's the point of stealing the imperial seal silently?" Fan Qinghui said: "But Zuo Ning can't know that the imperial seal is in my Cihang Jingzhai, let alone with his martial arts skills, even if he knows it, he will come to the door openly. How can I, Cihang Jingzhai, resist?"
After listening to Fan Qinghui's analysis, Shi Feixuan nodded: "Master thinks the same as the disciple."
Since it is not Zuo Xiaoyou, it must be Shi Zhixuan. Shi Zhixuan was Fan Qinghui's confidant twenty years ago. With Shi Zhixuan's innocence, wouldn't it be even more terrifying twenty years later? Moreover, Shi Zhixuan must know that the imperial seal is in Cihang Jingzhai. Although he didn't know the reason for stealing the imperial seal, as long as Shi Zhixuan was involved, there was no need for any reason.
In this way, Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan determined that the imperial seal was stolen by Shi Zhixuan. But they could not promote this matter because the imperial seal represents the supreme imperial power. Even the emperor Yang Guang had never seen it. However, their Cihang Jingzhai preserved the imperial seal. What are they trying to do? Are they rebelling?
Fan Qinghui felt bitter in her heart, so she could only ask someone she could trust to help secretly inquire about Shi Zhixuan’s news and the whereabouts of the imperial seal. Perhaps Shi Zhixuan stole the Heshi Bi to make a trap for Cihang Jingzhai, and she would never let this happen.
Zuo Xiaoyou didn't expect that what he did made Shi Zhixuan lie down inexplicably. This is a great thing he likes to hear. If he knew about it, he would wake up laughing in his dream.
After obtaining the imperial seal, Zuo Xiaoyou did not stop and found a place where no one was left, so he soared into the air and headed towards Yangzhou.
Zuo Xiaoyou already has the ability to see night vision, so the night cannot stop him from returning. Before dawn, Zuo Xiaoyou had returned to his Duke's Mansion... No, it should be called the Prince's Mansion now.
The news that Zuo Xiaoyou was named king spread throughout the world a few days ago. After hearing the news, Yang Mingzhu changed the plaque of Duke Wen's Mansion to the plaque of Prince Wen's Mansion, and then rewarded the servants in the family with a lot of money. She also specially opened several porridge shops to provide free rice porridge for refugees outside Yangzhou City.
Even if there is high-yield food now, because at the beginning, there are still many people who are not able to farm and have enough food. And even if you give them land, you can't grow things. The survival of these people has become a big problem and it is easy to bring hidden dangers to Yangzhou's public security. Therefore, although Zuo Xiaoyou has done a lot of work-for-relief work, some people can't do anything. Therefore, Yang Mingzhu opened a porridge farm this time and received unanimous praise from inside and outside Yangzhou City.
Perhaps it was just a small thing that Yang Mingzhu did when she was happy, but such a small thing was enough to be recorded in history and passed down to future generations. And Yang Mingzhu would also leave a reputation for her good deeds.
When Zuo Xiaoyou just came back, because it was not dawn, Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er were resting, so Zuo Xiaoyou simply found an empty room and took out the imperial seal.
After the imperial seal was held in Zuo Xiaoyou, strange energy emerged, as if to attack him. Zuo Xiaoyou did not resist and let the strange energy surge into his body. After that, Zuo Xiaoyou fell into an illusion. In the illusion, he became a reincarnation again. He then lived the life of an extra in Hengdian. Although he also played some small roles in the crew during this period, he never became popular. In the end, he lived a long life without marrying a wife. He just lived his desolate life alone.
It was strange that although Zuo Xiaoyou was in an hallucination, his consciousness could look at his life from the perspective of God. After watching this life, he just chuckled and then broke free from the hallucination.
Everything returned to normal. Although the imperial seal in his hand was still emitting strange energy, it could no longer cause any harm to him. Moreover, he felt that there was an energy as strange as the imperial seal in his body. This energy was a bit domineering, but it was gentle, and slowly transforming his body.
Zuo Xiaoyou could feel the transformation of this energy on his body, which was very strange. With the transformation, he felt that he had an indescribable ability on his body, and this ability seemed to be... controlling the life and death of all living beings in the world!
At dawn, the Wen Palace gradually became lively, and Zuo Xiaoyou also walked out of the room.
The servant saw Zuo Xiaoyou and was extremely surprised: "Ah! The prince is back."
Immediately someone informed Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er. When the two girls learned that Zuo Xiaoyou was back, they didn't even care about makeup. They went to see Zuo Xiaoyou as soon as possible. Then Zuo Xiaoyou saw two slightly sloppy beauties and couldn't help but chuckled: "Mingzhu, Zhen'er, you are so beautiful now."
"Ah!?" Amid the chuckles of the maids, Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er ran back to the room with red faces and dressed up. After nearly an hour of busy work, the two girls walked out with a beautiful appearance, which made Zuo Xiaoyou pleasing to the eye.
"Husband, when will you come back?" Yang Mingzhu asked with gentle eyes.
"I came back in the middle of the night. You were sleeping soundly at that time, so I didn't bother you." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and used breakfast with the two girls, and then said, "I have entered the country with my husband's martial arts skills and are planning to go into seclusion for a while."
"Do you want to go into seclusion?" Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er were a little disappointed: "How long will you go into seclusion?"
"This is not good." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "It can be as short as three or five days, and it can be as long as three or five months."
"So long!" Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er were startled, and Zhen'er asked quickly: "My husband has been in seclusion for so long, how should we arrange three meals a day?"
"No need." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "You have already reached the state of fasting, and you will not starve to death even if you don't drink or eat." He paused: "This retreat is crucial to you. Mingzhu and Zhen'er, don't ask anything. After you come out of seclusion, you will explain in detail the front and back for you."
Hearing this, Yang Mingzhu and Zhen'er could only nod and agreed. Zuo Xiaoyou did not want to waste time. After showing up, he arranged for his own retreat. He entered the underground secret room specially built when building the palace and began to retreat and practice in seclusion.
This time he went into seclusion to absorb the essence in the evil emperor's relics. Although these essences are strong, there are too many impurities, so Zuo Xiaoyou needs to filter them all, which is not easy. This is also the reason why he couldn't say how long he would stay in seclusion. In addition, the imperial seal still contains strange energy. He wanted to see if he could absorb all these energy?
The road has to be taken step by step and the rice has to be eaten in one bite. What Zuo Xiaoyou has to do now is to purify the essence in the relics of the Evil Emperor, absorb and refine it.
Just when Zuo Xiaoyou was in seclusion, Lu Miaozi also reached a reconciliation with his daughter Shang Xiuxun.
I have to say that I would like to thank the Four Great Masters. The original book designed to annex Pegasus Ranch still happened in this world, but this time the rescue of Pegasus Ranch became Lu Miaozi. Under the leadership of Lu Miaozi, Pegasus Ranch attacked the Four Great Masters, and then started a massacre, killing directly to the old nest of the Four Great Masters, completely annihilated the four Great Masters.
