Chapter Eighteen: Nuwa Arrives

After running around for several days, King Zhou and his party returned to Chaoge City. This was a magnificent and huge capital city, resplendent and beautiful under the sunlight.

"I'm back!"

King Zhou rode his horse through the wide and bright streets. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes looked a little tired. For some reason, along the way, he always felt that something was missing, as if his heart was empty, as if something was missing.

thing.

An hour later, King Zhou and his entourage entered the palace and came to the main hall. Above the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, kneeling to welcome the holy driver.

King Zhou sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below the high platform. His eyes roamed over the ministers, as if he wanted to find the missing corner. But soon, he gave up, because

There's no way to find out.

A picture kept emerging in his mind: he was standing in front of a ten thousand-foot cliff, looking up at the stars...

Suddenly, King Zhou frowned slightly and felt a dull pain in his head. He reached out and rubbed his temples, as if trying to relieve the severe pain.

King Zhou closed his eyes for a moment and finally felt more comfortable. He opened his eyes, glanced at the ministers below, and asked indifferently: "My dear friends, do you have anything else to report today? If you have nothing to report, just step back."

.”

After hearing this, all the ministers below lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to look directly into King Zhou's eyes.

As we all know, King Zhou had a tyrannical character and was even more rude to his ministers. If he was not satisfied, he would punish them.

Moreover, in the past few years, King Zhou has intensified his efforts. So much so that the officials have already lost their energy, and even if they want to resist, they cannot raise their spirits.

"Retreat!"

Following the eunuch's high-pitched and loud voice, the officials left the hall one after another and dispersed to various places.

King Zhou was left sitting there alone, his eyes flickering, lost in thought, and his mind kept recalling the strange feeling from before.

"Is it really my imagination?" he murmured.

"Ding! The main mission has been triggered, please host to complete the mission!"

The sudden system sound pulled him out of his deep thoughts and he was stunned.

"What's going on? The main mission has been triggered?"

He was confused, and he remembered that he did have some strange feeling just now.

No matter what, since the system has given him a task, he must complete it.

"I wonder what kind of reward I can get this time?" He muttered in his heart.

Soon, he decided to pay attention, and immediately used the mall to buy a teleportation talisman, and disappeared in an instant, arriving at a restaurant.

This is the most luxurious restaurant in Chaoge, called Zuixianju. It is said to have been opened by an immortal. Normally there are no extra rooms.

At this moment, the restaurant was very lively and overcrowded.

In a private room on the second floor not far away, there were about a dozen well-dressed young men, either in groups or alone, talking to each other.

"I heard that this Zuixianju is backed by an immortal, so there are usually no extra free rooms! Today there are enough rooms for us to use. It's really lucky!"

One of the young men said excitedly.

The other young men also looked happy and quickly ordered the waiters to put out all the dishes. After eating and drinking for a while, they couldn't wait to take out their wine bottles and take a sip.

"It's really a good wine!" they praised.

"I wonder who the boss of Zuixianju is? He actually got such good wine." A young man asked.

"I don't know, but I heard that this man is a monk and he should have some background." Another young man shook his head.

While they were eating and drinking, they were discussing things about Zuixianju. After a while, their topic suddenly shifted to one thing.

This matter was about the Nuwa Temple. King Zhou was interested when he heard this, so he walked forward and said: Just now I heard you guys talking about the Nuwa Temple. By coincidence, I also want to hear who you are.

How do you feel about this?

These people were about to get angry because their conversation was interrupted, but one of them knelt down directly when he turned around. The common people knelt down to see Your Majesty! A smile appeared on King Zhou's expressionless face, "Oh? Are you the ones?

How did you know Gu's appearance? One of the men returned: Your Majesty, when you went to Nuwa Temple, the common people saw your appearance from a distance, so they recognized Your Majesty. After hearing this, several other people also

They quickly knelt down and said in unison: The common people kowtow to your majesty! King Zhou did not pursue any further questions when he saw this: Get up and tell me what you think of the incident in Nuwa Temple.

Seeing this, they quickly cupped their hands, then pointed to the delicacies on the table and said, "Your Majesty, let the shop serve the delicacies first, and then it won't be too late to tell you in detail."

King Zhou nodded and sat aside to wait for them to serve them wine and delicacies.

Soon, they began to describe their opinions, understanding and evaluation of the matter.

It has to be said that although this group of people are all worldly dudes, their vision is pretty good. After all, they were all born in powerful families, and their words are more to the point. Even King Zhou also said this at this time.

I couldn't help but nodded secretly.

The group of people talked for a long time. Finally, a handsome young man suggested: Your Majesty, the poem you wrote on the statue of Nuwa will definitely anger the Empress Nuwa. This is an ominous sign.

After hearing this, King Zhou frowned and snorted coldly: "Huh, Gu Nai is the king of a country, how can I allow you to speculate randomly?"

The young man quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: Your Majesty, forgive me!

King Zhou waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. He pondered for a while, and then said: "You are right, Gu has indeed angered Empress Nuwa, but it does not mean that she will punish Gu."

When the others heard this, they suddenly looked surprised and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that Your Majesty already has a way to prevent Nuwa from punishing you?"

"That's not true." King Zhou shook his head and then smiled, "But Gu has already thought of a countermeasure, so you can rest assured that Gu will never make any mistakes!"

When the others saw this, they could only say compliments: "Your Majesty has a wonderful plan! We are willing to accept the defeat."

"Hahaha..." King Zhou laughed heartily for a while.
