Text Chapter 2029: Abuse of Power for Personal Gain
The Splendid Wushuang Meeting, as the name suggests, is a splendid meeting. Chinese website
The venue is on the water planet, and it is really helpless for the Water Palace to hold this event. This is because the tide of the water planet once every hundred years will make a large land that is usually half submerged in the water float to the surface for three months. During this period, various exotic plants grow wildly on the land, and various exotic flowers and plants are magnificent and splendid. They cannot be replicated in other places. The most beautiful peak period of one month is the meeting period of the Splendid Wushuang Meeting.
And this floating land is called the Splendid Waters.
Such a beautiful scenery is enjoyed by the Water Palace alone. It doesn’t matter to those dignitaries. Those people don’t care about this at all, but it’s different for those dignitaries’ families. Today you say hello and ask for tolerance to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and tomorrow someone says hello and asks for tolerance again. The Water Palace is annoyed, and the Heavenly Palace is also annoyed, but the dignitaries involved are too wide. Finally, the Heavenly Palace and the Water Palace negotiated and agreed to open once a month when the scenery was at its peak. This was the origin of the Splendid Wushuang Meeting.
You can only enter during the meeting and leave immediately after the meeting. During this period, no one is allowed to cross the Splendid waters to interfere with the Water Palace. Those who violate the order will be executed!
The location of the Water Planet is in the territory of the Northern Army, so the main responsibility for defense naturally falls on the shoulders of the Northern Army.
During the meeting, it can be said that it is heavily guarded and strictly checked. Not everyone can enter. Only people above the level of the Dutong and their families can enter.
People above the level of the Dutong can enter directly with their official jade certificate to verify their identity, while their families must notify in advance and report the number and identity of the participants. After arriving here, they will verify one by one, and no one will be missed. Of course, there are also family members who can enter with their own identities. Some female family members have reached the level of the Dutong, and these people can also enter directly with the imperial jade certificate.
These dignitaries inevitably have to bring servants to serve them, and you can't bring as many as you want. According to the level of dignitaries, the number of servants increases step by step. Ordinary people can only bring one servant. The inspection and verification of servants is more strict. It is impossible to let irrelevant people sneak in, because servants are the easiest to be manipulated.
This year's Wushuang Conference is even more strict. Not only must you show your true face, but you must also show your Dharma image for verification.
Of course, there are some people outside the heaven who can enter with special permission, such as monks in the Buddhist world, such as representatives of some major sects.
In addition, there are heavy troops everywhere around the water planet, and it is basically impossible to break in without permission.
A star that was moved from nowhere was temporarily transformed and flattened into a platform. All visitors must verify their identities here before entering.
This workload is not small. People above the level of the general are not small numbers, not to mention that many people have families with three wives and four concubines. The number of participants can be imagined.
However, not everyone will come to the excitement. Some people don't like the excitement. Some people have participated in the Wushuang Club and feel that it is just so-so and are too lazy to come again. There are also many people who don't come every session.
Especially those above the level of Dutong. For them, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is meaningless. Such people are not interested in the Jinxiu Wushuang Club. What they are really interested in is the Imperial Garden Festival, which is held once every thousand years. Only those at the level of the court can participate and are eager to participate!
Therefore, the Jinxiu Wushuang Club is basically a family event for officials in the Heavenly Court. There is nothing to come, and some people who are scheming will come to find opportunities.
At the inspection site, the accompanying guards were driven away and were not allowed to enter. Only the participants were allowed to enter. There were guards stationed at the venue, so they didn't need to cause trouble. The more people there were, the easier it would be to cause trouble, especially when they brought guards to give them courage.
The guards brought by the participants scattered around the water planet were a scary number, which was also another layer of defense.
Zuo'er and others also came, the demon monk Nanbo came in person, hundreds of people dressed in armor disguised as heavenly people, standing on a small star waiting, watching a charming woman arrive at the inspection site with their eyes.
The woman's name is Han Li, she is really beautiful like a fairy, with a charming look, her skin is so tender that it can be squeezed out of water, and her bright eyes are even more watery and attractive, which makes people fascinated.
Han Li is Huangfu Yan's mistress. If she is not so beautiful, how can she be favored by Huangfu Yan?
However, although she is beautiful, she is really nothing in this place where powerful families gather.
Her beauty naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially the men who came to the meeting, but no one dared to approach her without knowing her identity. If she is the woman of a big man, she will be in trouble.
"Look at that woman, her breasts, waist, and butt, they are all so sexy!"
"Whose family is she from? I don't think I've seen her before. Someone go over and ask."
"I'll go over and ask."
"Are you crazy? You can find out after you enter the venue. Don't cause trouble here."
A few men not far away looked at Han Li with lustful eyes. They wanted to approach her but didn't dare to. Until they found that Han Li was a little timid, as if she didn't dare to approach the checkpoint, and seemed to be waiting for someone. It seemed that she didn't have any background, and even if she did, it shouldn't be big. The men began to get a little restless while whispering.
Han Li was indeed a little timid here. Her status was equivalent to that of a commoner. Anyone here would have a higher status than her.
This is also the reason why she resented the Huangfu family. If it weren't for Huangfu Yan, she couldn't find a powerful man with her beauty? And Huangfu Yan took her but never gave her a name. Otherwise, she couldn't hold her head high and hold her chest high wherever she went with the status of Huangfu Yan's concubine. Is it necessary to be so timid?
Under the gaze of others, she felt humiliated, feeling like a local dog mixed into the circle of noble dogs.
Huangfu Yan, who had agreed to meet here, didn't show up for a long time, so she had to look around. If Huangfu Yan didn't come, she would be embarrassed and couldn't even enter the door. She could only leave with her tail between her legs.
Several heavenly soldiers and generals noticed her abnormality, walked over, and asked: "What are you doing?"
Han Li said with a lack of confidence: "I am participating in the Jinxiu Wushuang Association." The servants around her didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Seeing the guilty look of the master and servant, the guards who were checking felt something was wrong, and one of them said: "Whose family, take out the pass and let us see."
Whose family? What family can Han Li say she is from? Pass? Huangfu Yan is not an official appointed by the Heavenly Court, so where did he get the pass?
Her face was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether she should reveal Huangfu Yan's identity. The key was who was she to Huangfu Yan, and she didn't have any status. Status sometimes seemed unimportant, but it really represented a person's status in some formal occasions.
Seeing that she didn't respond, several guards immediately surrounded the master and servant. The man was already speaking impolitely, "Bring it out!"
Looking at this situation, hehe, it seems that there is really no background. The men nearby immediately raised their heads and chests and walked over, ready to rescue the beauty.
"What's going on?" A cold voice came.
Looking back, the men were secretly shocked. The Grand Commander of the Guards, Hua Yitian, came over, and they quickly retreated quietly.
"Sir, these two women are suspicious." A guard bowed and reported.
Hua Yitian waved his hand and said, "Go away, I brought it here."
Since he had said that, several guards looked at each other, responded, and retreated.
With no one around, Hua Yitian looked up and down at Han Li, who was avoiding his gaze, and asked, "What's your name?"
Han Li whispered, "Han Li!"
Hua Yitian then said, "Huangfu Yan asked me to pick you up. We haven't met before. Let's verify your identity with the seal." He stretched out his hand and handed over a jade tablet.
Hearing Huangfu Yan, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, took the jade tablet, and both the master and servant stamped the seal before returning it.
After Hua Yitian confirmed that it was the two of them, he apologized, "Sorry, I should have waited for you here, but I was delayed by something. I'm sorry for making you suffer. Come with me!"
He turned around and led the two to the inspection place, and shouted to the people who were queuing in front of him, "Get out of the way!"
Everyone looked back and saw that it was him, and they all made way. Some people saw that Hua Yitian was leading people to cut in line, and sneered, "Grand Commander, you are abusing your power for personal gain!"
Hua Yitian looked back at him, and the man immediately shut up. The venue was guarded by the Guards. If he offended Hua Yitian, would he still have fun at the Wushuang Conference?
"Check them first." When he arrived at the inspection place, Hua Yitian greeted the inspectors again. He didn't have time to accompany Huangfu Yan's mistress to line up slowly. If it wasn't for the face of ordinary people who couldn't bear the responsibility, he wouldn't come out to pick them up in person.
This was because Shangguan Qing greeted the Guards, otherwise Hua Yitian wouldn't do such a thing. With so many powerful people gathered, who would be responsible if something happened?
It can be seen how difficult it is to bring an unknown person into the venue. You even have to alert the chief steward of the Heavenly Palace to say hello before you can get through. It can also be seen why Han Li had to ask Huangfu Yan with great difficulty. In fact, it is indeed a bit troublesome to bring Han Li in. Under normal circumstances, Huangfu Yan would not ask Shangguan Qing for this matter. It happened that Shangguan Qing's confidant Du Qiao was in the Huangfu family. Huangfu Yan and Du Qiao were very familiar with each other. Huangfu Yan let out a hint. Du Qiao didn't want to agree, but thinking that the other party had worked for him for many years, he finally said that it would not happen again and dealt with him. Otherwise, Huangfu Yan would not dare to ask Shangguan Qing directly.
The Northern Army was responsible for heavy guarding, and the people stationed and inspecting the venue were all from the Guards. This time, they were all Hua Yitian's men. Although he had the final say here, the process of going through it still had to be gone through.
The Guards inspectors asked the names of the two people and asked them to sign the seal. Then Hua Yitian signed the seal and pledged as a guarantee.
Then Hua Yitian waved his hand to call the generals over, and told them two things by voice transmission. He turned back and said to Han Li, "You two go with him, and I'll make arrangements."
Han Li thanked him naturally. Before leaving, she looked back at the people queuing up. She felt a taste of power and clearance, but she felt bad when she thought of the previous interrogation.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Han Li had passed the customs, the demon monk Nanbo, who was watching from a distance, turned back and asked Zuo'er, "Where is the Huangfu Yan you mentioned?"
Zuo'er secretly complained. He didn't expect Huangfu Yan to be so cautious. Not only was his whereabouts unpredictable, but he didn't even show his face. He actually asked others to take Han Li in. How could he find an opportunity? He responded quickly, "This Huangfu Yan is too cunning. It seems that when we go back, we can only let Han Li find a way to get him to go together."
"Are you sure Huangfu Yan is here?" Nanbo's voice was cold. If he didn't come, why would he go together?
Zuo'er said awkwardly, "Han Li should be able to confirm it when she gets inside. She will send a message to notify him at that time."
This is to make me continue to wait here, Nanbo stared at her coldly. (To be continued.)8
