Chapter 38: The Labyrinth Underneath the Palace
The next day, an imperial list was announced to the world, which was the first decree of the new emperor after he ascended the throne, and everyone was curious about what decree the new emperor would promulgate.
But the content of the emperor's list made everyone puzzled. Guy wrote on the imperial list that from now on, every subordinate city of Chu State must choose a shop in a prime location, and the shop will be purchased by the royal family at the market price, and no one is allowed to cause trouble in it, otherwise it will be punished for treason.
As soon as this decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar, and everyone generally believed that this was a precursor to the new emperor's accumulation of wealth, and some scholars thought that it was the new emperor's desire to emphasize business and suppress agriculture.
But in fact, it's just that Zhang Hao plans to open a store to collect resources for himself.
With nothing to do, Zhang Hao plans to go and see how Chuyue is collecting street children?
Walking to the palace, the guards did not stop him, obviously Chu Yue had already explained.
Shen Nian swept and found that Chu Yue was in the Moon Palace, so he directly informed Chu Yue of his arrival with Shen Nian transmission, when Chu Yue heard Zhang Hao's voice, he even thought that there was an auditory hallucination, until he confirmed Zhang Hao's arrival, and immediately went out to greet him.
The reason why Chu Yue is like this is that he was frightened by Zhang Hao's thousand-mile sound transmission technique, if Chu Yue's guess is right, this sound transmission technique is like the magic power that a martial artist accompanies when he cultivates to a high and profound realm.
The mystery of Zhang Hao made Chu Yue even more frightened.
In the Mochizuki Palace.
"My lord, I have done everything you asked me to do, the imperial list has been issued, I believe that in a few days, this treasure pavilion will be able to open the Chu country. Secondly, a total of 125 street children under the age of 12 were collected, 76 boys and 49 girls. There are fewer and fewer street children now, and it is getting harder and harder to collect, but we are still doing our best to collect them. Chu Yue, who was originally called Zhang Gongzi, became more and more unfathomable as Zhang Hao became more and more unfathomable, and began to regard himself as a subordinate in his heart, and called Zhang Hao an adult.
"Oh? 125 people? That's enough for the time being, and you don't need to collect the rest for the time being, so take me to meet the people you collected. Zhang Hao said lightly.
"Yes, my lord, please come here." It seems that Chu Yue was not carried away by the fact that she had ascended the throne, but she saw it very clearly, knowing that this throne was taken by Zhang Hao, so she could naturally take it away at any time, but at that time, she might not only take the throne, but even worry about her life.
As Chu Yue came to her dormitory, she lifted the bed board, and there was a dark passage, and Chu Yue jumped into it first.
Although it was dark in the passage, it did not affect Zhang Hao's divine thoughts at all, and even Zhang Hao's divine thoughts swept away, and he knew the situation of the entire passage.
There is not just a passage, but countless ones, forming a large and intricate labyrinth, and if you don't know the path, even if you enter this labyrinth, you will be trapped to death.
At this time, Chu Yue also explained on the side: "This is what the ancestors of the past dynasties have been secretly digging out, in order to have a way out when they are defeated one day, after all, there is no eternally strong country, which the ancestors have long considered." I have arranged all the children I have collected in this passage, and I have even begun to hand them over to learn words and understand some basic common sense. ”
"Well, you've done a good job of this, when you're done here, I'll help you break through the fourth-order cultivation when you go back, but if you want to break through to the fifth-order or even the sixth-order, you need to do things for me more dedicatedly." Chu Yue was very satisfied with the idea of helping these children to read and write, after all, these Zhang Hao did not expect it, and it also saved Zhang Hao some trouble. This made Zhang Hao plan to give Chu Yue some sweetness first.
After a period of twists and turns, I finally arrived at my destination.
It seems to be an underground cave, with several oil lamps lit in the cave, and some children can be faintly seen.
At this time, a black shadow came out of the shadows, and Zhang Hao was not panicked, because he had already seen the existence of this person.
"A twenty-third greetings to Your Majesty." This is a warrior in black armor, and its aura seems to be that of an early third-order monk. This made Zhang Hao a little surprised, you must know that in the outside world, the third-order masters are already masters, and there are obviously at least twenty-three here, and looking at their self-proclaimed, they know that it is only one of the foundations of the Chu State. Sure enough, no country can be underestimated, let alone one of the three superpowers like the Chu State. Not only are there old monsters in the top combat power, but the mainstay is also quite extraordinary.
"Flat, take us to the kids."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please." A twenty-three guided.
"My lord, please come here." Chu Yue did not go first, but asked Zhang Hao to go first to show respect. And Jia Twenty-three almost dropped his jaw when he heard Chu Yue's words, but as a dead soldier, he didn't say much.
Soon they came to the place where the children were, and the children were all reading books with their lights lit. Some of them were abandoned by their parents, while others had to beg on the streets because their families were ruined and they had nowhere to go. Exhausted of the indifference of human affection. Therefore, they cherish their current situation, they can eat enough without starving, they can dress warmly, they can read and write, all of this is like a dream, and they are very grateful to the adult who saved them. Therefore, when they heard that they had to study hard to help which adult, they all worked hard to study, even if the Sandman was attacking, they insisted on learning.
Seeing these children working so hard, Zhang Hao also felt very satisfied. After all, if he didn't have the cultivation talent, he could also buy some natural treasures to improve his qualifications, but without perseverance and hard work, even if he exhausted all kinds of resources, he couldn't cultivate a strong person.
"Assemble these children, and I'm going to talk to them." Zhang Hao said lightly.
The black-armored man didn't move, just looked at Chu Yue quietly and asked what Chu Yue meant. Although, he knew that Zhang Hao was a big man from Chu Yue's attitude, but he didn't care, their black armor guards had always only obeyed the orders of the emperor of Chu State, and even Chu Yue only mastered them after he ascended the throne.
"Listen to him, gather all the black armor guards, including Commander Zhao, and these children."
"Yes." A twenty-three, who had received the order, withdrew and rallied his men.
After a while, the crowd surged, all the children gathered together, and at the same time, there were twenty-six men in black armor, all of whom were third-order cultivators, and some of the powerful ones had reached the peak of the third-order cultivation, presumably they were first-order first-order second-order or something. There is also a man in red armor, presumably Commander Zhao.
This heritage of the Chu State is really not bad!
