Chapter 4                                                              

"The will of the king?"

Ji Nan was quite surprised when he heard what Cai Ping said.

He has absorbed all the memories of this body. In his impression, no matter big or small matters in the court, it seems that there is nothing to do with the Southern Prince's Mansion. He just needs to go to Zong Temple on time to receive monthly salary and supplies every month.

Why did the emperor suddenly have an order?

"You guys come with me!"

After thinking for a while, Ji Nan followed the two guards and then took a step to the front yard.

There will be evil in everything!

But now he has Guiguzi and two Qi Refiners at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage, which should be able to deal with it.

"Your Highness... wait!"

At this time, the old slave Cai Ping hurriedly stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Nan was puzzled.

"Your Highness will also take a shower and change his clothes first, and wait for the old slave to prepare an incense table before we welcome the king's order!"

Cai Ping bowed and said.

"That's it? Good!"

Jinanduo glanced at Cai Ping, then nodded.

In this era of the supremacy of theocracy, the sense of ritual is very important, and Cai Ping has been serving the Southern Palace for so many years, and is loyal and reliable. What he considers is reasonable.

...........

Half an hour later, the guards of the proclamation read out the emperor's will in front of the incense table.

"The emperor ordered Jinan to be granted the title of Hangu Hou, and the fief is a 100-mile radius of Hangu Pass. After handling the handover of the Southern Prince's Mansion, we will go immediately..."

After a series of rituals, Ji Nan received the imperial edict, but the guards who issued the edict did not stop and returned to the palace to report their lives.

"Hangu Marquis? Marquis? From now on, Hangu Pass will be his fiefdom? So good?"

With the imperial edict, Jin Nan was really surprised.

He thought about all kinds of possibilities and even thought about whether the two princes would attack, but he didn't expect it would be like this.

The fief of the emperor means that the place in the future will belong to oneself, and the right to autonomy will be the one who decides everything.

Isn't it much better than staying in the Nanwang Mansion?

However, after Ji Nan turned around, he found that the faces of the ten servants in the South Mansion were extremely dark, especially Cai Ping.

He looked like the sky was about to fall, and there was no trace of happiness before.

"Why are you?"

He couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness...what should we do..."

Plop!

Cai Ping not only knelt in front of Ji Nan, but also cried.

"What to do? Why? This is a good thing!"

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Nanwang Mansion has not received the money and food this month. Now that your highness has been sealed off again, Zhoudu's material capital is insufficient, and the Zong Mansion will definitely cut off the supply on this ground!

After arriving at Hangu Pass, all the expenses will depend on yourself... Old slave also heard that Hangu Pass is in danger, and there are not many people in the pass... Even if we get there... there is not much food supply.

Moreover, more than ten Hangu Pass rulers have died in Hangu Pass... called an ominous place by the people..."

On weekdays, Cai Ping is the whole country in Linan Prefecture, and he is also responsible for some diplomatic matters.

Therefore, I know a lot.

At this moment, Cai Ping thought that the fourth prince who served was the former one who didn't care about anything and didn't worry about anything, how could he not worry about anything?

"Worry about this?"

Ji Nan frowned slightly.

Not to mention, this is really a problem.

Although Qi Refiners are powerful, they are just strong themselves and are far from being able to produce food.

The basic material aspects still depend on the people.

Cai Ping said it clearly just now that Hangu Pass is an extremely barren place that has been relying on Zhou Du for supplies. Now that the emperor suddenly threw Hangu Pass to himself, how could he provide supplies again?

"It turned out that I had lost a burden!"

As he thought about it, Ji Nan suddenly understood the intention of Emperor Zhou.

In addition to throwing away a burden, Hangu Pass became a fiefdom in the future and he also had to pay tribute to Zhoudu every year, which was a win-win situation.

Losing money can be made money all of a sudden.

Also, since Hangu Pass was called an ominous place, no one had gone there before he was given a position as Hangu Marquis.

“There are so many calculations!”

After returning to his senses, Ji Nan asked immediately, "Cai Ping, how much rice and grain does the Nanwang Mansion still have now?"

"Your Highness, the royal palace now has only two stones of rice and grain, almost no meat, and half a box of vegetables!"

When asked, Cai Ping immediately reported a number.

"So little?"

Ji Nan was a little surprised.

I used to be a family and didn’t know the details of the food, rice, oil and salt. Now it seems that the Nanwang Mansion is really poor! And it’s the kind that is so poor that it sounds like.

"Forget it! I'll find a way to do this. You can lead everyone to pack up your things first, and we'll set off tomorrow!"

After returning to his senses, Ji Nan made arrangements immediately.

If this is the previous Nanwang Mansion, the fief of Hangu Pass would be a dead end.

But now... there are three Qi Refiners in the mansion. Can they still be hungry?

"Your Highness... Are you ill? Is it better for me to find a way..."

Hearing that Ji Nan had decided to raise food, Cai Ping hurriedly adjusted his mood.

As an old slave who has been in his 10-year-old, how could he let his family do such a thing? Even if he asks people everywhere, he will try to prepare a truck of food before leaving the city.

"It's okay!"

.........

Here, Ji Nan received an order, the northwest corner of Zhoudu, the second prince's mansion,

Ji Chao stood behind his back in the conference hall, and there were seven or eight guests in the hall.

"Old Qin, the news is true?"

After a long time, Ji Chao turned around, looked at the Taoist man in a Taoist robe with three inches of beard and said.

This Taoist man is named Qin Shou, he is a Qi Refiner in the middle stage of the Golden Pill and is also the chief disciple of the Second Prince.

"Your Highness, this news should be true. Su Qin, the Qing of Yan Di, is the direct disciple of Mr. Guigu. He went to Yunmeng Mountain to pay a visit and found that Mr. Guigu had already gone down the mountain and headed straight to Zhoudu..."

After hearing Ji Chao's words, Qin Shou hurriedly replied.

"Su Qin? Is the Nascent Soul-stage cultivator that Yandi relied on?"

Ji Chao's fists subconsciously pinched them together.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Nasty Soul Stage? So Mr. Guigu's strength must be above Nasty Soul?"

Ji Chao hurriedly asked again after receiving a positive answer.

"Your Highness, Mr. Guigu has four disciples under his sect, known as the Four Friends of Guigu. The weakest of them all have the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul, as the masters of the Four Friends..."

Speaking of this, Qin Shou didn't continue.

There are many masters hidden in the world, and Mr. Guigu is definitely one of the top ones.

"Okay! Then please Mr. Qin, please ask Mr. Qin. If Mr. Guigu can recruit Mr. Guigu as a disciple in the mansion, Mr. Qin will be the first national teacher under the future emperor in the future!"

Ji Chao took a deep breath.

This kind of opportunity must be seized. If you miss it, you may really regret it for the rest of your life.

There were rumors that if the princes from all walks of life could gain one of the four friends of Guigu, they could protect half of the country. Now if they get their master, wouldn’t they be firmly in the world?

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Bowing, Qin Shou hurriedly took the order.

"Your Highness, I have something to report to you..."

After talking about this, Qin Shou thought about it and then spoke.

"Old Qin, it's okay to talk!"
