Seventy-two, small punishment and big commandment(1/2)
Archi followed Fang An into the palace again, bowed his head and stood aside after bowing. I wonder if a few months of salary compensation would be enough?
Zhu Qinghong waved his hand and asked Fang Youan to go down first. When Archi saw Fang Youan retreating, his heart pounded and his feet were so weak that he almost knelt down.
"Your name is Archie?" Zhu Qinghong stood up and walked over. Archie responded respectfully, becoming more and more nervous.
Looking Archi up and down, Zhu Qinghong was quite satisfied. She took out a power ball and gave Archi the ability of a priest.
Archie was shocked and quite puzzled.
Zhu Qinghong patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You are born with a special physique, and now you have the power of a priest. Your future is limitless. Work hard and you will benefit. Practice more and you will become stronger."
Special physique? Archie looked confused: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. May I ask why I have a special physique?"
"Strictly speaking, they are a type of priest." Zhu Qinghong tried his best to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. "Ordinary priests discover power as they grow. They may not have it at the beginning, or they may be too weak to detect it. You have it from birth, and as you grow up, it becomes more and more powerful.
Become stronger."
There are two ways to obtain priest power.
First, it is like a blessing from heaven, suddenly obtained. Second, it is family inheritance and blood connection.
Many priests are of the first type, which can easily extract power. The second type is integrated with bone and blood, making it difficult to extract.
More specifically, one is the superficial power, and the other is the inner power. The second one is less common, and I have only met Archie so far.
Archi seemed to understand but could not ask more questions. Zhu Qinghong asked: "Do you still remember your family?"
Archie shook his head. Zhu Qinghong did not ask any more questions and asked him to go back and practice hard. The two powers complement each other and can help him reach another level.
Archie bowed and left.
He quickened his pace to go home, eager to test the priest's power. A bolt of thunder and lightning appeared.
Overjoyed, Archie crushed the lightning.
His Majesty said he could become stronger.
He will, he will!
After the competition is over, construction in each city continues. The passages are completed, making it easier to transport supplies.
The fields around Xiaoyao City are about to mature, and the people are happy and encouraged. They cultivate and harvest by themselves, what could be more delicious than this? Gao Chen and Yingcai pack their things and are about to return.
Xu Junzhi and Xu Jin rushed back after participating in the competition and handed over to them. Today, the people of Xiaoyao City have enough food and clothing, working in the morning and resting in the dark.
They breathed fresh air and worked to feed themselves. Their once numb faces were now full of smiles.
Years ago, the canals connecting several cities were excavated. After the water was flowing, green flowers and plants grew on the barren land.
The trees that were originally thought to be dead turned out to be full of life after a long period of drought. They sprouted branches and sprouted.
Merchants were going back and forth between the cities, buying and selling goods. Merchant Wang sat in the carriage with an expressionless face, his eyes dim. The power of the priest in his body had long since disappeared.
He wanted to see His Majesty and ask for the reason. But it was Su Rui who came into contact with him. Su Rui was not gentle at all. No matter how much he begged, he could not get a trace of mercy.
When working under Su Rui, it is better to worry about your life than thinking about the power of the priest that is out of reach.
At first angry, helpless and furious.
Later, Merchant Wang gradually compromised. If he couldn't compromise, then the woman would be a lunatic!
"One day we will arrive at Tianchong City. The journey will be smooth and smooth, something I couldn't even imagine before."
Several businessmen talking together.
Merchant Wang opened the curtain. It was getting dark and they had to rush to the inn.
Near the passage, there are inns, teahouses, etc. built at regular intervals. They do not have to sleep in the wild and can also eat hot meals.
"The newly developed props are really powerful. They make the carriages and horses much faster and save at least half the time."
"When we arrive this time, we will probably celebrate the New Year in Tianchong City. I heard that there will be a pig killing show this year."
"I went to see the pigs a month or two ago. The pigs were not big yet. I don't know how many pounds they weighed when they were killed. They were sold on the spot after they were killed."
"It doesn't matter how much it weighs. We just need to eat what we have. Eating dry food will make my mouth fade away."
"Who doesn't? Fortunately, we can have a good New Year. Now that we are here, let's go to the restaurant to have a good meal first."
Everyone laughed heartily and counted the delicious food in the restaurant. Merchant Wang lowered the car curtain and sat back in the car.
They were talking and laughing as they went on their way.
Tian Chong City.
Every house is decorated with lanterns and colors, and food is spread out on every street. Women carry cloth to make new clothes for the New Year.
The men work hard to earn more money for the New Year. There is roast duck in the store today, and there are many people queuing up.
Zhu Qinghong was walking around in a plain skirt, feeling the atmosphere of fireworks. A variety of red lanterns were hung in the cheerful lantern shop.
When she walked in, there were many customers in the store.
The waiter and the boss greeted him warmly. When he saw Zhu Qinghong, the boss greeted him: "Hello, girl."
Zhu Qinghong nodded.
The boss asked kindly: "What kind of lantern does the girl want? The shop can also customize it."
"Just take a look." Zhu Qinghong saw the exquisite palace lantern hanging in the most conspicuous position of the shop.
Exquisite style and extraordinary craftsmanship.
"If the girl likes it, can I take it off and have a look?" The boss saw Zhu Qinghong's appearance and sighed, "What a good look."
"No, I'm just taking a look." Zhu Qinghong turned his head and said, "Boss, there's no need to greet me. There are still customers over there."
The boss smiled sheepishly and hurriedly went to greet other customers. At this time, a group of four people entered the store.
There are three men and one woman. They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. They should be young men and girls from wealthy families. Zhu Qinghong is observing the lanterns, mainly looking at the paper of the lanterns.
Previously, she gave the papermaking method to Wei Xuanyu, and the craftsmen in Haocheng learned by analogy.
Various kinds of paper were produced one after another.
Keep explaining things, and you will see results after a while, and the results will be far beyond expectations.
I have to say that as a person in a superior position, this feeling is very comfortable. Sure enough, talent is the treasure of a country. With the popularization of paper, the cost of reading for people will naturally decrease.
"I want this." The woman shouted and snatched the lantern from Zhu Qinghong's hand, "It looks good. I like it."
Zhu Qinghong looked over and saw that it was the three men and one woman who had just entered the store. The boss smiled and said, "The lantern is this girl..."
"I want this. Boss, please pay." The woman looked at Zhu Qinghong proudly, "She didn't pay, so it doesn't count as hers."
The three men next to the woman smiled apologetically at Zhu Qinghong. One of them took out money and asked, "How much is it?"
The boss looked at Zhu Qinghong and awkwardly asked the price.
The man took out the money and handed it over, but Zhu Qinghong stretched out his hand to stop him. The boss was busy trying to smooth things over, for fear of causing trouble in the store.
Zhu Qinghong snatched the lantern held by the woman: "I haven't finished reading yet, and it's not your turn."
"What?" The woman looked at the three men with tears in her eyes, "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother. I want that lantern."
"Girl, can you give up your love?" The oldest man handed over his hand, "I am willing to compensate the girl. You give me a price."
Zhu Qinghong glanced at the three men and raised the corners of his lips: "I don't plan to buy it, and I don't need your compensation. I'm looking at this lantern. No one can snatch it before I finish reading it. My sister doesn't look like a child of several years old, even
Don’t you know basic manners?”
The man who paid the money frowned: "Tell me. What do you want? It's just a lantern, why should the girl bother with it."
"It's a lantern, but not a lantern." Zhu Qinghong smiled softly, "It's about quality and character."
"You!" the woman pointed at Zhu Qinghong angrily, "You just have a good-looking face, so what's the big deal...ah!"
Zhu Qinghong broke off the finger without hesitation, his eyes were cold: "It's better to break the things you don't need."
Three men hurriedly stepped forward. Seeing that Zhu Qinghong still refused to let go, they took action directly.
Zhu Qinghong turned aside and kicked a man away. Then she turned her head and slapped a man several times. Zhu Qinghong turned around and gave the last man a slap in the face.
Seeing that the fight was about to start, the waiter rushed to call for the soldiers. The boss persuaded him and hid at the same time, feeling sorry for the things being smashed and afraid of getting hurt.
The three men were knocked down easily, and Zhu Qinghong used a strong force to destroy the woman's right hand.
The woman let out a shrill scream and burst into tears. Even so, the woman was still shouting: "I won't let you go. Do you know who my father is..."
At this time, the man came in with a group of soldiers.
It happened that Jiuxi and He Yang were nearby and came over after hearing a fight.
The woman covered her hands and retreated to the soldier: "This woman attacked people in broad daylight. Arrest her!"
"Okay." Zhu Qinghong looked at Jiu Xi and He Yang, "How are you going to arrest me?"
"I don't dare." He Yang and Jiu Xi knelt down on one knee, "See Your Majesty. I waited for help to arrive late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Everyone was shocked. The soldiers knelt down.
The boss and the guys were stunned.
The three men broke out in cold sweat, it was over.
