Chapter 34: Meeting the owner! (Please recommend, please collect)

"oh?"

Ji Nan's expression moved.

It’s not to mention that this is a good note, but it will take half a month for the White Tiger to return to Hangu. I wonder if Ji Chao can afford to wait.

According to Baihu, it has some things to deal with on its own clan.

The kind that is very urgent.

"Lord, the second prince did not agree with the demon cultivator yesterday. As long as he went over and told him, he would definitely not be able to ask for it."

Mo Zhai nodded with certainty.

I have been in the Second Prince's Mansion recently, so I naturally know the situation there.

In order to win the position of crown prince, Ji Chao is almost crazy and can do anything.

"Okay! Then this matter is settled!"

Ji Nan nodded immediately.

Baihu had a close relationship with him and believed him as the main person. It was a matter of thought to ask him to go to Zhoudu to do things.

"Lord, I'll send news to Qin Shou, the disciple of Ji Chao's mansion."

"Report!"

Just when Mo Zhai spoke again, the sound of guards asking for a visit suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"What's the matter?"

After a pause, Ji Nan nodded and signaled that the gate of the palace opened.

"Report to the lord, news came from Luoyi, Zhoudu, saying that later today, the emperor issued an edict to all the princes related to my Hangu!"

The guards reported.

A month ago, Mo Zhai used the influence of the Momen to form an intelligence collection network in Zhoudu and the places where the princes were located.

Now any information about Hangu will be sent here as soon as possible.

"What edict?"

Ji Nan's expression moved.

Suddenly, I remembered the two Zhoudu teams who had been wandering around the mystery formation before. Did they come to preach the imperial edict?

"Report to the lord, the emperor issued an edict saying that... a team will be sent to Hangu to escort 10,000 kilograms of tribute grain and 3,000 kilograms of copper coins to Zhoudu..."

"What?"

It would be fine if I didn't listen, but when I heard it, everyone in the hall looked cold at the same time.

The emperor wants to come over to tribute food? Or ten thousand stones?

If you remember correctly, Hangu has never received such a message.

In addition, although Hangu is mostly qi-refining people, there are also many ordinary people.

Especially after communicating with Qin, some Qin people were treated unfairly there and finally moved their whole family to Tongguan.

With the population growth, the 12,000 stones of grain contributed by Qin are not enough, so where can I get the excess for Zhoudu?

"The news is true?"

The next moment, Mo Zhai asked immediately.

Although everyone is a disciple in Hangu now, in fact, there is already a division of labor. Mo Zhai is mainly responsible for Hangu's intelligence, construction and other related matters.

At this time, he naturally had to ask clearly.

"Mr. Qi Bing, this matter is absolutely true. The emperor's edict has been passed to all the princes."

The guard reported.

"What is the emperor doing? Did you just learn that Qin gave us tens of stones of money and grain, and want to seize it? Or do you think that Hangu is weak and want to use this to establish authority for other princes!"

On the side, Guiguzi narrowed his eyes slightly to make an analysis.

This incident happened very suddenly... Unconsciously pushed Hangu to the forefront.

If Hangu is not given, it is to resist the imperial edict.

It would be fine if his lord was an old marquis, but the fourth prince who had just left Zhou was involved in the resistance to the imperial edict.

But I just gave it that way, not only was it cowardly but also a little unclear.

Why should a marquis give Zhou Du ten thousand stones of food?

According to Changli, the Marquis gave five hundred stones of grain to Zhou Du very much. Now he thinks that Marquis Hangu is a soft persimmon and is easy to bully.

"In this way, tomorrow, everyone goes to Zhoudu. First, we will do the work of Jiuzhou Ding, and second, we will see what's going on!"

Frown and ponder for a moment,

Ji Nan said coldly.

If there is another reason for this matter, it would be fine. If you really want to find trouble for Hangu on purpose, don’t blame him for turning against him at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

One, two, three,

He didn't say anything but Zhou Du really thought Hangu was easy to bully?

Bian Que said before that the emperor issued an edict to ask him to treat him to him, not in the true sense, but as long as he ensured that he did not die before the Heaven Sacrifice Hall.

How come this is like treating one's own son?

Let’s look at Ji Chao and Ji Meng from Zhoudu again. Their treatment is many times better than that of him.

The clay man has three points of fire.

"Yes, lord!"

Hearing Ji Nan's arrangement, everyone immediately stood up and responded.

They could feel that their lord was really angry this time and was not the same.

...........

Little did they know that when Ji Nan received the news, Zhoudu, northwest corner,

In a small mansion, the lights were on.

In the yard, an old man with white hair and white beard was sitting under the pavilion. There was a boy in front of the tea table and a green cow in the yard.

"Master, you once said... When you are released from prison, it is the day to meet the Lord! But... Now the emperor asked you to be a grain transport official... Where can I find the Lord?..."

He poured a cup of tea with great respect, and the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Moo!

It seemed that he understood the boy's words, and the green bull not far away also raised his head and shouted.

"Haha, who said that the lord must be among the Zhoudu or other powerful princes?"

Touching his beard, the old man smiled faintly.

He is nothing else, he is Li Er, who has just been released from the prison and appointed as the grain custody officer!

Listen to the boy's words,

It feels like he had already planned to be imprisoned, and it was not that the heavenly prison could be imprisoned.

"Ah? The Lord is not in Zhoudu?"

The boy was stunned,

After a few breaths, he suddenly thought of something, and the next moment he suddenly showed an extremely shocked look.

"Wait... Master means... the fourth prince... the fourth prince who has nothing... is... a person..."

The boy didn't dare to say the last word.

"The son is teachable!"

Li Er stroked his long beard and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face...

...........

On the other side, Hangu,

It was already midnight when everyone left the hall, and in the end, only Ji Nan and four Jiuzhou Cauldrons were left.

"This is the Jiuzhou Ding that can represent the fortune of a human race? Unfortunately, since the King of Zhou proclaimed himself emperor, the emperors of all dynasties could not control it, otherwise the fortune of Zhoudu would not have been defeated like this!"

He talked to himself, Ji Nan looked at him carefully.

In ancient times, Emperor Yu of the human race cast nine tripods to suppress the world. The demons and gods were geniuses. How energetic was that?

Look at the present,

Not only has the gods already become the existence that dominates the fate of the human race, but even the demons have suppressed the human race.
