Chapter 35 Imperial Platform (1/2)

35

Wu Ding felt a little regretful as he looked at the phone that had returned to Zhao intact but had completely consumed the last trace of power and could no longer be restarted.

I can only go back and watch Top of the Forbidden City again.

Be careful and add a charger.

It’s not easy to hold on for so long.

"Were they both rescued?"

"Yeah. Why on earth did you miss it?"

"If you don't do a good job...just find a way to get these two to fight again."

"…………"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Wu Ding.

He opened his mouth and finally gave a thumbs up, you can do it, you can do it.

Because Lu Xiaofeng followed the whole thing from beginning to end.

Isn't it just Wu Ding's whim suggestion?

The two swordsmen competed with each other to create chaos and attract Ouchi's guards.

Then Li Daitao became stiff.

The only surprise was that Ye Gucheng stopped rebelling because of Ximen Chuixue.

"Can you not be so ambiguous in what you say? City Lord Ye is abandoning the dark side for the bright side."

Why Ye Gucheng was involved with King Nanping was also very simple.

Someone in Baiyun City is plotting to rebel.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, many people in various places raised troops to rebel.

The ancestors of the Ye family also used to enclose land and become kings.

Later, the Ming religion turned into the Ming army, and the Zhu family gained power. Naturally, they would not let go of the fact that there was a small country next to them that could stand on its own.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which had already established its power, the Ye family's small country had a similar status to the Jinpeng Dynasty. Whether it could be destroyed or not depended on the mood of the leader.

At this time, Zhu Tai/Zu was focused on the Northern Expedition and recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun.

So he chose a female disciple from Mingjiao, named her a princess, and married her to the "emperor" of the Ye family.

The princess in red makeup, who was ten miles away, took the imperial edict and fifty thousand cavalry to "bring away" and blocked the door directly.

The meaning is clear.

What else can the Ye family do?

Let's have a happy event quickly.

Received the imperial edict.

The emperor became the prince-in-law, and the small country became "Baiyun City".

That princess is also skillful.

The first two years were a bit tough.

But then, relying on her identity as a princess, she directly opened the connection between Nanhai and the imperial court.

Baiyun City is prospering and can enjoy various preferential policies.

The relationship between husband and wife also became smoother.

If we evaluate it objectively, if Baiyun City is really established as a nation, life will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

The life experience of ordinary people is real.

However, the blessings of marrying a princess will always run out.

There are also some good and bad city lords who succeed to the throne.

Not every emperor of the Ming Dynasty was willing to tolerate the fact that the Ye family was like a local emperor who was hereditary and their feudal official.

This man's heart is not in a state of flux.

Even in its heyday, there were still people who were dissatisfied with the imperial court's "overlord forcing his bow" and thought it was humiliating.

Let alone now.

So the idea of ​​"restoring the country" was raised.

Just like the old and young people during the Republic of China, what can they do except beeping?

When Ye Gucheng finds out.

The leverage of these idiots is already in the hands of King Nanping.

More than a hundred lives were implicated in this incident.

Ye Gucheng had no choice but to board King Nanping's pirate ship.

From Ye Gucheng's perspective, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor.

Although Emperor Qinghe did not suppress Baiyun City, he did not treat it favorably and was in a dispensable and idle state.

Moreover, Emperor Qinghe's reputation as a troublemaker would be even more exaggerated when it spread to the South China Sea.

To be fair.

Nan Wang, who is stupid, ambitious, and has the leverage in his hands, is a good "cooperation partner".

But after receiving the imperial edict, Ye Gucheng's mind changed.

Their schemes turned into the emperor's decree.

This kind of change was enough to sound the alarm for Ye Gucheng.

After watching King Nanping's trembling request for instructions, he announced with a joyful face that this was a coincidence.

Ye Gucheng... started paddling.

To confuse Lu Xiaofeng? Don't go.

To kill the Tang clan brothers? Don't go.

To kill the emperor? Sorry, I won't go either.

The King of Nanping not only had a weird trump card for his rebellion, but the process of his rebellion was also quite weird.

The most important step in rebellion is just an "outsider" who has a handle.

When Ye Gucheng rebelled, Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't even need to be present.

The Yu family brothers around the emperor can solve the problem.

Since Ye Gucheng didn't take action during the whole process, it's easy to explain Ye Gucheng's crime.

For the sake of his precious brother's face, the emperor gave him some mercy.

What? What do you think it has to do with Gong Jiu?

It is not directly related to Gong Jiu, but it is related to Gong Jiu's master.

Seeing two peerless swordsmen who were seriously injured and yet to recover, the first thing they saw when seeing the emperor was not to salute but to be concerned about how they were doing...

Emperor Qinghe was so sad that he went to the queen for comfort.

Emperor Qinghe: There must be something wrong with them. I don’t have to look at the monk’s face but also the Buddha’s face. Who asked me to pamper my younger brother?

Queen:......As long as your Majesty is happy.

"Don't interrupt." Lu Xiaofeng jumped. "You haven't said it yet. Where have you been!"

He knew how much Wu Ding treasured that "soul-captivating" artifact.

Take it out every day, wipe it, and touch it.

Even if you don’t open it, you should hold it in your hand and sigh.

Wu Ding especially liked to "photograph" Ximen Chuixue at Wanmei Villa before. When he brought the two of them together for a duel, Wu Ding talked about the duel every day.

As a result, it suddenly stopped coming.

And his expression was firm and could not be refuted.

He ran away on Benxiao.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't catch up with Ben Xiao. On August 15th, he really didn't have time to look for anyone.

I could only hold my nose and help Wu Ding take the photo.

When Gong Jiu asked, Lu Xiaofeng answered calmly, but in fact he was more anxious than anyone else.

Then he heard the news that Nanping Palace was struck by thunder in the emperor's southern study.

Emperor Qinghe was shocked and did not forget to publicize Nan Wang's rebellious behavior to anger the heaven and punish him.

At the same time, he secretly asked Lu Xiaofeng what was going on.

What was hidden in Nanping Palace with such a big commotion? It must be struck by thunder.

If necessary... find a day with less wind and burn a fire.

In ancient times, houses were mostly made of wood. Although this Nanping Palace was remote, it was really in Kyoto.

Deciding to set fire in Kyoto in one sentence... Should I say that he is worthy of being Emperor Qinghe?

Lu Xiaofeng went to Wu Ding with a lot of questions and anxiety.

Wu Ding was still talking about other things.

"You say! Is this matter related to that person?" Lu Xiaofeng gestured.

Wu Ding thought about it and nodded.

He didn't think of it at first.

Later, when he guessed the details.

He couldn't sit still.

"Didn't you say you wanted to avoid the limelight for a while?"

Lu Xiaofeng was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"A mastermind who is destined to fight. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. If you do it, you can weaken his power. If you miss it, he will be more advanced. What will you choose?"

It's risky, but Wu Ding feels sad if he misses it.

This time is different from the cat ghost incident. After all, considering hundreds of lives, Wu Ding didn't activate the formation before taking action.

But it was enough for that guy to drink a pot.

"He probably didn't expect that I could break his formation."

Wu Ding continued to be satisfied with his achievements.

A qualified formation is not something that can be wiped off just because you find something scribbled on the ground.

In the Nanping Palace, Wu Ding also found the eye of the formation first and stimulated it with spiritual energy to see the formation.

Then he danced first and then attracted thunder to break this evil formation in one breath.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they found red patterns on the ground, they would find that no matter how deep they dug, the red would still be there. They would also be backfired because of the self-defense nature of the formation.

Of course, the above is a qualified and complete formation.

Such a formation is still very tiring and material-consuming.

The one Wu Ding used when doing the purse experiment before was a simple formation, which everyone could see. If Lu Xiaofeng was not careful, he could also wipe it off and interrupt the operation of the formation.

Lu Xiaofeng's mouth was like a goldfish without water, opening and closing for a long time, and sighing helplessly.

Wu Ding did take a risk.

But to be fair, he also felt that it was worth it.

"No! I almost got fooled by you." Lu Xiaoji pointed at his friend with anger. "What's the next step, what's the next step! You don't want to take it on your own, right? You must have caught his eye, what's the next step? What should I do? Hide?"

Where to hide?

Who knows if the other party will count with his fingers?

Looking at Lu Xiaofeng's anxious expression, Wu Ding was embarrassed.

"I don't want to implicate you."

"I thought we were friends." Lu Xiaofeng exploded again.

"I don't want you to implicate me." You have such a bad luck.

"…………" Lu Xiaofeng.

"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just kidding."

Wu Ding muttered and repeated the plan.

"It works?" Lu Xiaofeng looked incredible.

"The plan itself is correct. I am in the open and he is in the dark. Whether he recovers from his injuries or not, I am in a passive position. So my only choice is to dig a pit that he can't refuse and let him take the initiative to get in. Let him willingly stop fighting temporarily."

Then...

"Is the Imperial Terrace the pit?"

"From the current information, this person is definitely not a wild way without inheritance. As long as he is an orthodox insider, he will know the Imperial Terrace."

If he doesn't know, he has to popularize it for him!

"It will cost a lot of money to build it."

"Is money a problem for me?" Now that his ability has improved, he can cause inflation in minutes, okay?

"The emperor has approved it. Who made them owe me a condition?"

It's not the reward for this event.

It's the money for buying horses.

"I gave Yueying to Gong Jiu, and the emperor has agreed to help."

The emperor really made a lot of money this time.

Not to mention the ticket fee, he also made the "compensation" sent by Baiyun City and the wealth of the entire Nanping Palace.

Enclose a piece of land and build a house for Wu Ding. (The core building materials don't need to be given yet)

You get a divine horse.

Worth it, too worth it!

Pingzhou Cangqingshan

The local government office suddenly recruited able-bodied men.

Not for labor service, but for short-term workers.

The wages are quite generous, three times the market price.

The wages are paid every seven days.

Food and accommodation are provided.

The only special requirement is to rush the work.

When this news came out, it really boiled no matter how many miles around.

Those who have young and strong laborers at home and those who have free time rushed over.

Those who don't have free time also squeezed in.

Don't want to miss this opportunity.

Rushing the work means working at night, which also means hard work.

But food and lodging are provided! And triple salary!

"Brother Wu, is this really that much money? Is the court so kind?" A strong man with a loyal face hesitated. He is not a local, and it would be a waste of money if he rushed all the way there. This would delay farm work and waste travel expenses.

It hurts.

"This time it's not built for the court. I tell you, don't tell anyone else. If it weren't for my third uncle's second aunt's cousin working in the county government, there would be no first-hand information."

Brother Wu is thinner than the strong man, but judging from his body lines, he is also a sturdy farmer.

"This time it was built for an old immortal by the court. The old immortal emphasizes merit and will not deduct our money."

"Is it true or not?"

"It's true. The old immortal calculated with his fingers and waved his hand to summon the heavenly soldiers and generals to take the king of Nanping to the underworld for training and trial."

Brother Wu's words were vivid, winking, and his tone was ups and downs, which immediately attracted many fellow travelers to come and "listen to the inside story"

"The current emperor is grateful for the old immortal's kindness and has specially authorized the construction of this... By the way, it's called the Emperor's Platform."

The surrounding voices of discussion and doubt suddenly rose one after another.

They didn't know what the Emperor's Platform was.

Is it the platform used by the emperor?

"You don't understand this, right? It is said that..." Brother Wu deliberately dragged out a long tone, whetting people's appetite before continuing. "That is the residence of the gods. The real residence of the gods."

What awaited him was the sneer of the crowd.

A young man who had just turned sixteen proudly said that there was nothing to be amazed at. His family was a carpenter and had built the Immortal Platform and the Immortal Tower for wealthy businessmen.

At this time, a poor scholar passing by gave a popular science to the people on the road.

The Emperor's Terrace is the name of a god, but this one is not important.

The Emperor's Terrace is also called the Emperor's Palace.

It is the palace/entertainment place/dojo/garden of the gods.

The pavilions and towers built by the superiors are all imitations in shape.

The real Emperor's Terrace is the kind that can allow cultivators to ascend to heaven.

"The cultivation dojo is formed by gathering natural materials and treasures. This is the real Emperor's Terrace."

After the popular science, the poor scholar withdrew with his merits and fame hidden.

He also said that when the imperial platform is completed, he will definitely visit, rub the immortal spirit, and bless him to pass the imperial examination.

The eyes of the prospective craftsmen lit up.

Yes, if the rumor is true, then they can also be regarded as... rubbed the immortal spirit.

This is a good thing to prolong life.

Not to mention that it is not a slack season now, even if it is a busy season, you have to go.

A group of people are on the road in a lively manner.

Strong men from all over the country gradually gathered together, and then... quickened their pace.

Damn, there are so many people, what if the construction site is full of people.

Hurry up, hurry up.

The crowd did not notice that there was a suspicious man in a black cloak mixed in the crowd.

But no one could see him.

The crowd did not notice it either.

The talkative "Brother Wu" disappeared in the crowd.

In an inconspicuous corner, an ordinary farmer waved his hand, and a face fell on his hand.

The thin skin was the "Brother Wu" just now.

"It's really hard to repay the life-saving grace." Sikong Zhaixing took out the dried meat from his arms and took a bite happily. "But with this ape meat, even if there is no life-saving grace, I am willing to run errands."

After eating and drinking, the man who came out from the corner was no longer a farmer.

Instead, he was a gentleman with elegant manners, free and easy, and exuding the smell of precious spices.

"First go to the brothel to spread the news, then to the crowd of scholars... and finally become a woman to spread some rumors in the temple. Well, that's it."

Cast a wide net, and there is no worry that the people behind the scenes don't know.
