Zhu Nanmu nodded, and Xuan Wei was introduced into the Dongping Palace's mansion with Qingyin.

According to the normal rules of Dongping Palace, if a guest comes to visit, they need to go to Tongyu first, and only after getting a clear reply can they bring the guests into Dongping Palace.

But Zhu Nanmu came with a purple token, and the situation was naturally different, this was the highest-level distinguished guest of the Dongping Palace, how could it be compared with ordinary visitors.

The rules are made by people, and naturally they will be divided into objects, and different people apply different rules.

Needless to say, the luxury style in the Dongping Palace, rockery and flowing water, strange flowers and flowers, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere.

The two of them were taken to a large parlor, and after they had told them to be here, the man who led the way took his own leave.

Then well-dressed maids served tea and snacks.

didn't let Zhu Nanmu and them wait too long, and they saw the person they wanted to see.

"Welcome to Prince Hao Nan and Miss Qingyin to the royal capital, I am really happy to meet again so soon. ”

The girl Ziyun was as gentle and tranquil as when she first saw her in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and walked into the hall with a soft and warm smile.

Out of courtesy, Zhu Nanmu stood up, bowed his hand and replied with a smile, "Take the liberty to disturb, and ask Miss Ziyun to forgive me, no, it should be the county lord of Ziyun." ”

The Purple Cloud County Lord chuckled and shook his head, "Haonan Gongzi is serious, the two of them have a life-saving grace for me and Sister Ling'er, you can come, it's too late for me to be happy, why bother." It's a pity that Sister Ling'er is not in the royal capital for something, otherwise she would definitely be happy to see you again. ”

"It's a pity that I can't see Lord Ling'er. Zhu Nanmu smiled, thinking back to the little girl with a ponytail, thinking that she was so angry that she grinded her teeth at that time, and couldn't help but complain, she may not be willing to answer me briefly.

The Purple Cloud County Lord smiled, "Childe doesn't have to call me the County Lord, just like before, just call me Ziyun." ”

Zhu Nanmu smiled, "Follow the customs of the locals, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, some rules still have to be taught, let's call it the Lord of Ziyun." ”

The Purple Cloud County Lord's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded with a smile; "Okay, just let the son be happy." ”

"By the way, this is the money owed to the prince when he came to the king. ”

The Purple Cloud County Lord smiled and handed nine golden tickets to Zhu Nanmu, each with a face value of 10,000 gold coins.

Zhu Nanmu was a little embarrassed, waved his hand again and again, what kind of joke, came to ask for help, it was too late to send money, and there was a person who received money: "At that time, it was just a casual joke, but I didn't expect that after so long, the county lord still remembered, and I forgot it myself." ”

"Childe is righteous, Ziyun admires. The Lord of Ziyun said with a smile, "But please also ask Childe to accept it, this is a little bit of our heart for Childe's life-saving grace that day, please don't shirk it." ”

Zhu Nanmu really didn't want to accept the money this time, after all, he was here to beg for help, and it was too late to give gifts, so how could he collect money from the owner when he met.

However, the county lord of Ziyun insisted on giving it, and in the end he could only accept it.

After another greeting, the two sat down one after another.

"Don't hide it from the Lord of Ziyun, I took the liberty to visit this time because I had something to ask for. Zhu Nanmu didn't beat around the bush, and after a few simple small talks, he went straight to the point and named the purpose of this visit.

In this regard, the county lord of Ziyun seemed to have expected it, pursed his red lips, and nodded with a chuckle, "Childe, please say, as long as Ziyun can do it, he will definitely go all out." ”

Although she sent an invitation to Zhu Nanmu at that time, she could see that with Zhu Nanmu's character, she would definitely not visit her with a token under normal circumstances. And now, not long after that, he came with a token, and something must have happened that made him have to come. So when she heard the report from her subordinates, she guessed that Zhu Nanmu must have something to ask for this time.

Zhu Nanmu sorted out his words for a while and said, "Here's the thing, the Zhu family of Tianhe County has a great favor to me, and now the Zhu family is in big trouble for the survival of the family, and I want to ask the county lord of Ziyun to help save the Zhu family." ”

"The Zhu family of Tianhe County, isn't it the Zhu family that can grow high-grade spiritual rice?"

Obviously, she had heard of the existence of the Zhu family.

In this regard, Zhu Nanmu was not surprised at all. Although the Zhu family was only a local force in a medium-sized city like Tianhe County, because of its ability to cultivate high-grade spiritual rice, it had already entered the sight of many top powers in the Apocalypse Kingdom.

"It's that Zhu family. Zhu Nanmu nodded; "Just three days ago, the Zhu family's Lingmi field was burned to ashes by a fire,,,

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Nanmu briefly told the Ziyun County Lord about the situation that happened to the Zhu family, of course, mainly emphasizing the part of Gongmi.

"It's really troublesome when it comes to paying tribute to the king and the royal family. ”

After listening to Zhu Nanmu's brief explanation, the Ziyun County Lord's eyebrows also furrowed slightly. This kind of matter involving offerings to the king and the royal family, the problem can be big or small, and the key is to see the king's intentions.

The king is in a good mood and doesn't want to pursue it, at most he reprimands a few words and fines some money for pretending, after all, he is serving the royal family, and there is no merit and hard work. But if the king is in a bad mood, or has other purposes, and wants to punish him severely, it is a heinous crime of deceit.

And the county lord of Ziyun, as the county lord of Dongping Palace, is also a member of the royal family, so he naturally knows some things that outsiders don't know. She learned that the current king is very concerned about the Zhu family's technology of planting high-grade spiritual rice fields.

High-grade spiritual rice can be said to be of great significance to the Apocalypse Kingdom, and at worst, it can be regarded as a national strategic resource. Just imagine, if the Apocalypse royal family mastered the Zhu family's technique of cultivating high-grade spiritual rice, and then planted it on a large scale. Then use the harvested high-grade spiritual rice to cultivate a large number of powerful warriors, and the combat power of the entire kingdom will be greatly improved.

Therefore, whether it is for the individual family power or the entire country, the cultivation technology of high-grade Lingmi has extraordinary significance. Even the supreme ruler of the Apocalypse Kingdom had already had an idea about the Zhu family's high-grade spiritual rice cultivation techniques.

However, because of various factors and many scruples, I have not taken action. The king can indeed use force to persecute and pressure the Zhu family, but if he robs the people and spreads them, it is not good to say, and the entire royal family of the Apocalypse Kingdom will be disgraced and become a laughing stock.

But now the situation is different, the burning of the tribute rice is the fault of the Zhu family first, and the king can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Zhu family, so that they can 'willingly' hand over the high-grade spiritual rice planting technology.
