Chapter 249 One table at the pinnacle of the ninth rank, one table of the ninth rank, where should the eighth rank sit?
"he?"
Ke Erhan looked at the bustling Ruyang Street, full of confusion.
"Let's go back to Guanyi quickly!"
The next moment, before Khan could say anything else, Cookie grabbed his sleeve and turned around to leave, unwilling to stay any longer.
"Mr. Qu? Mr. Qu?"
Such an action frightened Korhan half to death. Who was Cookie? He was a late-stage ninth-grade warrior. He had no rivals except Pei Min, the top master swordsman in Yibo Tower.
Who could scare him like this?
Even if you really meet the Sword Master Pei Min, it won't be like this.
In this way, the two of them ran all the way, and when they arrived at the official post office, they breathed a long sigh of relief. Cookie couldn't help but look behind him, as if he was afraid that something was coming.
"Mr. Qu, who did you meet just now?"
It wasn't until the two of them recovered from their shock that Korhan asked in a trembling voice.
"He traveled all over the world, why did he appear in Ruyang?"
Cookie was still immersed in the previous fright and kept mumbling to himself.
"Mr. Qu, who is he?"
The more the cookies looked like this, the more confused Khan became.
"The Saint of Painting Wu Daozi!"
After half a stick of incense had passed, Cookie finally came back to his senses and said a name.
"What? Painting sage Wu Daozi? He..."
Whoosh!
The next moment, Khan's face changed drastically, and his expression was almost the same as that of a cookie on the street.
More than ten years ago, the Tubo Kingdom heard that there was a painter who was traveling in the Western Regions, named Wu Daozi. This man's portraits were extremely vivid and had a wonderful way of conveying the spirit. So the King of Tubo wanted Wu Daozi to paint a portrait of himself.
At that time, Qu He and Qiao Qiao were in middle age. After receiving the king's order, they used extremely strong methods to invite Wu Daozi to the palace.
As a result, Wu Daozi painted casually, and all the people watching him seemed to be possessed by a demon. They either harmed themselves or started killing each other.
It was not until finally Wu Daozi raised his pen that everyone came to their senses.
Especially for Cookie, his sword was already placed on his neck to draw a bleeding line. If he missed it even a little bit, he would probably die.
When I looked up again, I saw that the painting was exactly half of it, neither too much nor too little.
At this time, Wu Daozi said that this time should be regarded as a lesson. If there is a next time... he will finish the painting. After that, he walked away without anyone daring to stop him.
So far, the three words Wu Daozi have become a taboo in Tubo.
"Mr. Qu, are you really right?"
For a long time, Khan swallowed nervously.
"No! Absolutely not. He just walked out of a restaurant with an old man dressed as a scribe."
Cookie shook her head firmly.
Since that time, Wu Daozi's appearance has been deeply imprinted in his mind and has become a lifelong shadow, which he will never forget.
"That....."
Khan stopped talking.
"It is best for us not to appear on the streets of Ruyang again, and we will make a decision after Ruyang is established."
Cookie shook his head repeatedly, he knew what Khan wanted to say.
With that old guy Wu Daozi around, it's impossible for him to investigate the Yibo Building matter.
"Okay, I'll send the news back to Tibet right away!"
"Um!"
........
actually,
At this time, it was not just the Tibetan delegation that dared to go out, but also the Southern delegation that had just entered the city.
Yang Guoxiao, the former leader of Tianyin Sect, was sitting in the lobby of the official post, his hands were shaking constantly, and he was muttering to himself,
"Yibo Tower...it turns out that all the people in Yibo Tower are in Ruyang!"
He doesn't have half of the arrogance and pride he had before coming to Ruyang.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
The next one, Yama Luo from the Tianyin Sect, also had a look of fear on his face.
After arriving in Ruyang, Yang Guoxiao and others wanted to take a walk on the streets of Ruyang. By coincidence, they saw the signboard of Yibo Building not far away.
Out of curiosity, I thought of going in and taking a look.
Let’s see if this Yibo Building is the real Yibo Building or if Ruyang is using the name of Yibo Building to attract diners.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, he saw the Sword Master Pei Min and a scribe enjoying a drink by the window.
That’s not all,
In the other corner, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal Li Taibai, the Poet Saint Du Fu, Meng Shanren, the Poet Demon King Chang Ling, etc. are also eating hot pot meals, changing cups and changing cups, which is very lively.
In addition to these, there were several unfamiliar faces on the dining table.
But how can we be ordinary people who can sit with these people and exchange cups?
And they would also mention the word "lord", which would make them very happy.
in this way,
Yang Guoxiao was so frightened that he dared not stay even for a moment, so he hurriedly led people out of the restaurant and ran all the way back to the official post.
"The lord they talk about should be the real master behind Yibo Tower! But who is that master behind the scenes?"
At this time, Yang Guoxiao did not hear what Yama Luo said, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
It’s scary to think about it!
Although he had a vague idea of the answer in his mind, he just didn't want to admit it.
After all, it’s too amazing!
Perhaps the real answer can only be given on the day when Ruyang was founded.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
It wasn't until this Yama called out several times that Yang Guoxiao finally came back to his senses.
"We were careless this time!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Yama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke in a low voice.
Once upon a time, he thought that an eighth-level warrior was already a top master in the world. He dared not say that he could walk sideways, but at least he could hold his head high. Until the moment he stepped into Yibo Building a few sticks of incense,
Only then did I realize that eighth-level masters are so worthless.
The ninth-level masters just gathered together at a large table, and Sword Master Pei Min was actually drinking with several others, which showed that their table was of a higher level!
There seems to be no place to sit in the eighth grade.
"Wait, wait a few more days, before that we still need to prepare some gifts!"
Yang Guoxiao took a deep breath.
"Congratulatory gift? Your Majesty, we only brought five thousand taels..."
On the side, before Yama Luo could speak, the accompanying generals of the Jiannan Army were startled.
"Then make temporary preparations! At least prepare a gift worth more than one hundred thousand taels."
Yang Guoxiao gritted his teeth.
"Ah? More than one hundred thousand taels? But..."
The general was stunned.
This is Ruyang City, where can I prepare such a high-value gift in such a short time?
"Nothing but, we must prepare! Unless you and I both want to perish in Ruyang City!"
Yang Guoxiao couldn't deny it, as if if he couldn't do it, everyone would die together.
"Ah...this..."
The atmosphere instantly became dead silent.
.......
Not far from Guanyi is a mansion. There is no signboard hanging on it, but it is brightly lit inside.
lobby,
Master Zeng pushed a list in front of Dan Qiusheng.
Yes, this mansion is the residence of Master Zeng. It should have been hung with the sign of the Prime Minister's Palace, but it has not been officially canonized yet, so the sign has not been hung.
"Sir, how about this list?"
Master Zeng said.
Picking up the list and looking at it, Dan Qiusheng nodded slightly,
"Have you ever inquired about their conduct? This time, the conduct of the concubine chosen for the lord must come first."
"Well, there is nothing wrong with their character, their appearance is also of good quality, and their family background has been investigated clearly. We are waiting for their family members' reply. If their family members agree, we can make a decision.
One of them is still working in the embroidery workshop. If her family background was considered, she would not be selected."
Master Zeng said again.
This list is the list of concubines compiled by their subordinates, a total of six people.
In their opinion, the harem does not need to be large at the beginning, it only needs to support the scene in Ruyang, and it will be no problem to gradually increase or adjust it later.
"good!"
Dan Qiusheng put down the list.
After a while, he suddenly thought of something,
"By the way, have you ever shown this list to Madam?"
"I have already given it to the madam. I will give another copy to the lord tomorrow."
Master Zeng nodded.
Zhou Yurou is already the mother of the Ruyang Kingdom. This is something that everyone recognizes, so her opinion must be sought on the harem matter.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
"It's settled! Finally everything is ready, this old bone can finally rest for a few days."
"Same! I hope nothing goes wrong."
"Well, we just have to keep an eye on them, especially those foreign missions. They have their own agendas and have to be on guard."
"That's right!"
.......
The night was getting darker, and the sudden scene scared Tubo and Yang Guoxiao from going out again. However, Li Mo, the state government office, quietly changed into casual clothes and used the art of disguise.
Without it,
Although everything in Ruyang is now well prepared,
But he was still a little worried and thought about going out for a walk casually.
If you go out directly as the Lord of Ruyang, you will be recognized by the people of Ruyang and cause unnecessary trouble, so you thought of this trick and go on patrol incognito!
Only in this way can you see areas that need improvement that are usually invisible.
Whoosh!
After half a stick of incense, Li Mo disappeared in the state government office in a flash.
Although he has been busy with political affairs, his own practice has never fallen behind. The swordsmanship given to him by Li Taibai has long been mastered and his inner strength has broken through to the seventh level.
The breeze blew across my cheeks,
Looking at the still busy street, Li Mo felt a sense of accomplishment for no reason.
Once upon a time, Ruyang was so shabby, the people were in ragged clothes, and it was difficult to eat. Now it is a prosperous place that is not inferior to Chang'an, Luoyang and other big cities.
"Yi Bo Lou? The two monkeys should be in charge!"
As he walked forward, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh again when he saw the magnificent restaurant and its signboard.
The former waiter in the shop has now become a big boss in the world. Who would have thought?
Nowadays, whenever Erhou is mentioned, people in the world will give Erhou some face, which is a big one.
Without stopping, Li Mo continued to move forward.
There is no purpose tonight, I just want to walk around and look around.
Three turns and two turns,
Unknowingly, Li Mo walked to the door of Ruyang Embroidery Workshop.
"I wonder how Yurou is doing now? I've been busy with work recently and haven't seen her for several days!"
Sighing slightly,
Li Mo blamed himself a little.
In fact, since the completion of Ruyang Pass, the two of them met very rarely even though they were in the same city. Sometimes when Zhou Yurou went back, she would have already rested, so he couldn't bear to be disturbed and would wrap herself up in the outer hall and sleep. The next day, she got up very early, and Zhou Yurou hadn't woken up yet.
.
Ruyang planned to be even busier after the founding of the country, so he simply lived in Zhouya.
"That's all. After the founding of the country, let her hand over the embroidery workshop and make good compensation!"
wry smile,
Li Mo planned to move forward, but now that he had changed his appearance, it was not appropriate to go in.
However, after walking only a few steps, there was a sudden movement in front of the embroidery workshop. A woman was seen pulling another woman's hair out of the embroidery workshop without saying anything, and finally kicked her hard.
"You bitch! My sister treats you badly, but you are so nice..."
