Chapter 0053 - Shoddy

"Da Da Da!" "Dong Dong!!"

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Tianchi heard a knocking sound from the courtyard, as if someone was nailing something.

So I couldn't help but get up and walk outside, only to see Ethereal Spirits pressing a wooden board to nail it to the wall, and the opposite side of the longboard was the door that connected the Xiangguo Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

"Ethereal...... What are you doing?"

Tianchi looked at the ethereal spirit who was busy with a blank expression, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Oh, last night I watched the sky at night, and found that this door was not in the right position, which was very unsightly, and I was worried that it would affect your luck, so I decided to nail it up this morning. ”

Ethereal said as he spoke, and the little hammer in his hand didn't stop, just pounding hard.

"I don't even know when you'll know the art of predestination......"

Tianchi looked at the ethereal spirit with a strange face and said.

"Choke!", before Tianchi finished speaking, he saw that there was an unsheathed sword in the ethereal spirit's hand at some point, and the next moment it was nailed to the ground in front of Tianchi.

"Believe me, you're going to die early if you keep this door. ”

Ethereal looked at Tianchi, who was stunned there, and then narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.

"Uh...... I feel it, keep ...... You go on, hehe, hehe......"

Looking at the sword that was shaking diagonally on the ground, Tianchi felt a chill down his spine for no reason, as if if he didn't agree, the owner of this sword would really stab himself a few times......

"Hmph!

As he spoke, Ethereal recalled the sword, then turned and continued to nail it.

"I said, if you nail the side door, won't there be a front door to pass?"

Tianchi looked at the ethereal spirit who was busy non-stop, and then asked with a wry smile.

"Makes sense......"

Ethereal couldn't help but stop the hammer when he heard this, and then looked thoughtfully at the location of the main entrance.

"Hey...... You're not really going to even nail the front door, are you?"

Tianchi saw the ethereal staring at the main entrance, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching a few times.

Although it is just a door, it is true that it can't block the entry and exit of Tianchi, but the problem is that no matter how powerful you are, you haven't seen anyone who leaves the door and doesn't go out every day!

"That's no, it's a business to come in through the main gate, and it's a private meeting to come in through the small door! So in order to prevent Emperor E from sneaking over, cough ...... I mean, in order not to let you ruin His Majesty's reputation, that's why I have to do this, of course, I don't really care what your relationship is! Will I care?! Of course not! The key is that as your senior sister, I have the obligation to help you correct your mistakes!"

The more Ethereal spoke, the more excited he became, and by the end he became a little incoherent.

"I didn't think you cared, did I?"

Tianchi smiled strangely, and then asked rhetorically.

"Squeak"

As soon as Tianchi's voice fell, he saw the side door being opened outward, and then he saw Wuqing stunned in place, as if he didn't understand why there were suddenly a few more planks in front of him.

And the ethereal is also a secret mistake, I didn't expect this door to open outward, and I knew that it was nailed directly to the door......

"You ...... What is this doing?"

After Wuqing bent down and got under the half-nailed plank, he couldn't help but look at Tianchi with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Oh, Ethereal thinks the wooden door is unsightly, so he's preparing to craft a portal to make it easy to get around. ”

Tianchi said with a haha.

"Portals, isn't it too much of a wall...... And I remember that the Ethereal Senior Sister wasn't a refiner?When did you start transferring to a Qi Cultivator's portal formation?"

Wuqing asked with a blank and puzzled expression.

"Personal preference, personal preference, by the way, Senior Sister Wuqing, is there something wrong with you coming here so early?"

Tianchi waved his hand, and then asked as he changed the subject.

"Oh yes, it's important to get down to business, the money and grain from all over the country will be sent to the southern capital this morning, and the young sect master needs to take a rough inventory. ”

Wuqing was asked by Tianchi like this, and then he thought of the purpose of his coming here, so he nodded and said.

"This matter, isn't it okay to bother a few senior sisters and brothers to go over?"

Tianchi thought about it, and then said casually, planning to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Young Sect Master, how can this be? Although the monks outside the Fang Wai don't care about these things outside their bodies, this is the first time that they have cooperated with the land of the Southern Kingdom, and it seems that it is not official, it seems to be ...... Not really, right?"

Wuqing looked at Tianchi with a hesitant expression and asked.

"Do you have to go? Okay, you go to Emperor E's first, and I'll be there later." ”

Tianchi thought for a moment, and then said.

Although he also knew that even if he didn't see it, Emperor E would not say that he was not, but it was difficult for those ministers to say, Tianchi didn't care what those ministers would think, but if he didn't save face for Emperor E as the young sect master of the Thousand Water Sect, then I am afraid that Emperor E's majesty would be damaged a lot in the future.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. ”

Wuqing nodded, then turned around to leave, and when he saw the wooden plank on the side door, he couldn't help but look at the ethereal spirit with a strange face, and then pushed the door back.

As soon as Wuqing left, the ethereal little face drooped, and it took a while before he casually removed the plank.

"What's wrong?

Tianchi asked with a slightly puzzled glance at the ethereal spirit.

"You have to take care of it!"

Ethereal turned around as he spoke, and then walked towards the West Chamber.

"Whew...... If it's okay, wait and change into the clothes of the sect, and then go out with me." ”

Looking at the ethereal back, Tianchi couldn't help but say with a wry smile.

"Huh, where are you going?"

When Ethereal heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Where else could it be? Of course, I'm going to count the supplies, if you don't help me, where can I be busy?"

Tianchi waved his hand speechlessly, and then said helplessly.

"Did I sell you?!Why do you keep calling you?"

Ethereal glanced at Tianchi dissatisfied, and then said loudly.

"Well, you didn't sell me, but you're the one who lives in my West Wing, what about this reason?"

Tianchi said with a wry smile.

"I think your West Wing is different from other people's homes, to put it bluntly, it's for servants, right......"

Hearing Tianchi say this suddenly, Ethereal couldn't help but blush, and then couldn't help muttering with a sullen face.

"You're wrong, my West Wing is definitely for the eldest lady to live, in fact, I always wanted to stop secretly attacking at night last night, but I didn't dare to take action when I thought that I couldn't beat you now, ah then again...... I don't know if there are any fans in the city or something...... Hmm, is it better to be colorless and odorless, or is it better to have a little fragrance? Ethereal, what do you prefer...... Well, how did you get into the house? I want to discuss it with you. ”

Tianchi said to himself here, looking serious, as if he really had this plan.

It's just that before Tianchi finished speaking, Ethereal had already gone back to the house, and it seemed that he didn't plan to deal with Tianchi who was daydreaming anymore.

Tianchi, which was hung there, finally felt bored, and then went back to the house to change clothes.

In the morning, after packing up, the two received a notice from Wuqing that the money, food, and armaments had been delivered, so Tianchi took the ethereal spirit and walked with Wuqing to the center of the city.

When I came to the center of the city, it was already full of carriages at this time, and the people in the city were standing around, but the south was the first place, and a vacant lot was cleared, and the empress was standing there with the four female disciples of Wuqing at this time.

"Your Majesty. ”

After seeing Emperor E, Tianchi walked over with the ethereal spirit and said hello.

"The national teacher doesn't have to be polite, today your sect has sent countless money and food, you can come in person, the widow already feels very honored. ”

Emperor E helped Tianchi from afar, and then said with a majestic smile.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be so polite, just wait for the disciple to present the list and take a casual look. ”

Tianchi didn't know how to answer, after all, Tianchi didn't often contact the emperor in the official world, and he didn't know how to bow and answer in the secular world.

"How unreasonable!"

And just when Tianchi was greeting Emperor E, he suddenly heard a noisy noise from the carriage transportation place, and this sound couldn't help but attract everyone's attention.

"What's the noise?"

Emperor E is the biggest here, and the one who quarreled was also an old minister from the southern country, and the first to speak was naturally Emperor E, and Tianchi beside her also looked at it puzzled.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old ministers are noisy, it's really unbearable, Your Majesty, please see, this is the grain that was transported in the morning, and it is written on the list that there are 500 carts of fine grain, a total of two million catties, and the number is correct, but most of this grain is full of moths, and no matter how much grinding you can't grind, you can't grind much fine powder, this ......."

"Shut up!"

The old minister knelt down and said, but before he finished speaking, he saw Emperor E's face frosty and scolded loudly.

Emperor E reprimanded the courtiers because the incident itself was a bit unexpected for her, and she immediately thought that she couldn't embarrass Tianchi too much.

"Wait a minute, go on. ”

It's just that as soon as Emperor E's words fell, Tianchi couldn't help frowning and said to the old minister.

After speaking, he also motioned to the ethereal spirits around him to check if it was true.

"This ...... There are also winter cloth and cotton materials, most of which are also moldy and damaged, and are no longer suitable for people to wear, and if they are made into clothes, they may suffer from it! There are also many untruths in terms of money, such as ......"

As soon as the old minister heard Tianchi's inquiry, he also let go, stood up from the ground and began to speak loudly to Tianchi.

"Okay, needless to say, let the escort disciple come to see me. ”

This time, without waiting for the old minister to finish speaking, Tianchi interrupted the other party expressionlessly.

Because he had already seen the situation in the torn bag on the ethereal side, although it was far away, he could still see it clearly.

As soon as Tianchi's words fell, the old minister rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the escort team.

After a while, he tore with a slightly chubby middle-aged man and came to Tianchi and Emperor E.

Just looking at the fat man's expression, it seems that he still has a little disdain, maybe in his eyes, this kind of thing itself is just a kind of secret rule in the world, and it is not worth saying more.

Moreover, these money, food, and materials were originally given to the southern country, so it was taken for granted that no one would dare to interfere.

And Tianchi is also a disciple of the Thousand Waters Sect, so no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to turn your elbow outward.

"Good! good! You've got a seed! You're so kind!"

Tianchi looked at the middle-aged fat man, and his face was even more angry and retorted.

And the middle-aged fat man, seeing this situation, began to slowly fade away from his disdain at first, and only then did he begin to realize that the problem seemed to be really big......
