Chapter 40: Tang Hanlin
Noris left the same boat space, and the small space seemed a little empty and lonely for a while.
Zhang Jichuan sat in his place, rubbing his sore arm, and his heart was full of thoughts:
"Qianlong's Tiger Spear was bought by a palace envoy a few days ago......
According to Bai Xin, it was bought by Emperor Hu Jing......
"But tonight, I 'borrowed' Qianlong's Tiger Gun from the mysterious murderer......
"Does that mean β
"The murderer is Emperor Hu Jing!"
Even though a long time has passed, Zhang Jichuan is still shocked by this simple reasoning.
"The emperor of a country is the murderer of serial murders, this sentence is absurd to think about, but if this emperor is Hu Jing......"
Zhang Jichuan couldn't help but think of the evaluation of Hu Jing by the people he came into contact with: mediocre and incompetent, powerless, and wandering in the drama all day long......
It is said that the entertainment industry of Guyue Kingdom is the strongest among the five major countries, and it has a lot to do with Emperor Hu Jing.
The famous Tang Hanlin is the screenwriter that Emperor Hu Jing of the Guyue Kingdom admires the most......
It is said that when Hu Jing's father was alive, he was already set aside, until Hu Jing ascended the throne and completely became a puppet emperor......
"But how many emperors are willing to be puppets?
"If Hu Jing has the ambition to get rid of the situation of being dominated by the nine nobles and become a powerful transcendent creature, although it is not the best solution, it can be regarded as a good choice......
"If that's the case, he must hide from the nine nobles and quietly improve his strength, so that he can explain it by covering his face and never releasing his soul crown......"
Zhang Jichuan thought about it, suddenly frowned, and thought of a flaw: "If that's the case, why did Hu Jing bother collecting extraordinary items related to the emperor with great fanfare?" And also bound these otherworldly items? β
Zhang Jichuan has reason to believe that the world is so big, in addition to 'Kong Ming's scarecrow', there must be other transcendent items with similar transcendent abilities, able to see other people's transcendent items.
"As an emperor, even if Hu Jing is set aside, there is no shortage of high-grade transcendent items, so there is really no reason to take this risk......
"Moreover, it is a bit too early to equate Hu Jing with the mysterious murderer, maybe Hu Jing has already given the 'Qianlong's Tiger Gun' to others......
"Well, you have to check it before you can draw conclusions, and you can make reasonable use of the power of the nobles......"

β¦β¦β¦β¦
Prince Fitz hosted a farewell dinner for Tang Hanlin at the Ringcho Hotel, the largest hotel in Zero.
Prince Fitz was the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor of the Caesar Dynasty, with a high status, and Tang Hanlin's fame, almost all the famous nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants in the entire zero capital attended the banquet.
The little nobles and small officials who didn't receive the invitation also tried their best to sneak into the hotel, trying to catch a big man......
On this night, the splendid Lyncho Hotel became the most high-profile place in Zero, and countless reporters blocked the door, using their cameras to take pictures of one big man after another......
When Noris arrived at the Ringcho Hotel, the banquet had already begun.
"Nonris!" The aged Prince Fitz rebuked harshly, "You're late! β
Noris obediently lowered her head, not daring to refute: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. β
Prince Fitz's face was not slackened, but became more stern: "I heard that you actually came by car?" Nonris, what about your aristocratic manners? What did you learn in etiquette class? β
The car is fast and comfortable, much stronger than a horse-drawn carriage...... Noris thought silently, but she couldn't say this in front of the old antique prince, so she could only explain in a whisper: "I'm too late......"
Hearing this, Prince Fitz was even more angry: "Nonris, as a nobleman, punctuality is a basic quality, where has your concept of time gone?" β
After a pause, he continued, "I will tell Your Majesty to arrange an extra two hours of etiquette classes for you every day...... Forget it, I won't talk about you now, let's go in quickly, I can't let Mr. Tang Hanlin see the joke. β
Noris first looked bitter, and then as if she had been pardoned, she bent down slightly: "Thank you, Your Excellency." β
She quietly stuck out her tongue and walked into the hotel as if she were running away with her skirt, and saw Prince Fitz behind her jumping and shouting, 'Pay attention to your demeanor'......
"Whew! βββ
In the hotel, Noris breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to herself, "The negative ability of the 'Apostle Paul's Cross' is that after activating the supernatural ability, you must repent for half an hour in the ashram.
"Even though I had the carriage replaced with a car, I was still late......
"Fortunately, Prince Fitz has a lot of guests to entertain today, otherwise he would have been reprimanded for at least three hours.
"Hey, it's scary to think about!
"But fortunately, I wasn't too late, I don't know if I can see Mr. Tang Hanlin? He has been in the Caesar dynasty for so long, I have never had a chance to meet him, only on the news......
"I heard that he has been experiencing the customs and customs of various parts of the Caesar Dynasty, and has little contact with nobles and officials, and only has some writers and screenwriters to accompany him.
Today was his first and last public social appearance in Caesar......
"Well, find a chance to ask Mr. Tang Hanlin to sign it, and give it to Ms. Bai Ye next time......"
Noris asked the waitress for a glass of champagne and shuttled through the crowd like a fluttering butterfly. Someone came and invited her to dance, but she smiled and declined.
After looking around, Noris had a puzzled look on her face: "Huh? It is understandable that Mr. Tang Hanlin may still be talking to Prince Fitz in the VIP room, but Baron JΓΆlton did not attend today, what has he been busy with lately, mysteriously......
"He's a fan of Mr. Tang Hanlin!
"I don't know if Mr. Siliang is in a hurry, the extraordinary item of 'Dongfang Red Satellite' is still in the hands of Baron Jolton......"
Suddenly, Norris saw an acquaintance, a smile on her lips, and quietly went over to pat the man on the shoulder.
The man suddenly turned around: "Nonris, don't underestimate the perception of a middle-grade transcendent creature. β
"Huh?!" Noris looked embarrassed and said coquettishly, "Teacher, you have already discovered me?" β
Lady Vivien's mouth hooked, "Of course." β
"Teacher~" Noris looked sullen, "You deliberately look at me to make a fool of yourself?" β
Lady Vivien smiled, "I saw you searching for a long time, but you found nothing. β
"Teacher~" Noris dragged a long voice coquettishly.
"Alright, alright." Lady Vivien surrendered, "Tell me, who are you looking for?" β
Nonris: "Mr. Tang Hanlin and Baron Jolton." β
"Mr. Tang Hanlin may be talking to Prince Fitz, right?" Lady Vivien made the same guess as Noris, and then she looked suspicious, "But what are you doing with that guy from Jolton?" β
Norris's eyes flashed: "I was entrusted by someone to discuss something with Baron Jolton." β
"Okay......" Ms. Vivien didn't pursue it, and said indifferently, "that guy has been weird lately, and I'll make an appointment for you when I see him." β
"Thank you, teacher."
At this time, the door of the VIP room opened, and Tang Hanlin and Prince Fitz appeared together.
Unlike the formal attire of everyone present, Tang Hanlin dressed a little casually, and it could even be said that it was very inconsistent with the etiquette of the banquet, but none of the nobles and officials present expressed dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Tang Hanlin devoted all his efforts to literary creation, and never bothered about other miscellaneous matters, and when he participated in the royal banquets of the Xinhua Dynasty, the Nicholas Dynasty and the Hongji Kingdom, he wore even more casual clothes than now......
"It is said that once Mr. Tang Hanlin met the emperor of Guyue Kingdom wearing sour clothes and sloppy beard, and the emperor only knew that he had been creating for nearly ten days in a row......"
"This is a real artist!"
β¦β¦
"That's the only way to write something that hits people's hearts, right?" Lady Vivien was distracted.
Noris looked sideways: "The teacher actually likes to watch dramas?" β
Lady Vivien shook her head, "I don't like it, but ...... Tang Hanlin's drama is an exception, watching his drama, you will always be hit in the heart, there is a feeling of experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, this experience is even helpful for cultivating the power of the soul, this is the reason why Mr. Tang Hanlin is so popular, otherwise why do you think a person in the entertainment industry has such a transcendent status? β
Noris blinked: "And this layer of secrets?" β
On the podium, Prince Fitz delivered a speech and solemnly introduced Tang Hanlin to the nobles and officials attending the banquet.
Tang Hanlin's hair is a little long, and he pulls it casually at the back of his head, and his beard has not been trimmed for a long time, which looks a little sloppy. There were even some black dust left between the fingernails in his hand holding the microphone, and he simply said, "Hello everyone." β
Below, there was a cheer.
After the cheers stopped, Tang Hanlin continued: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Prince and all of you for seeing me off, I will leave the Caesar Dynasty tonight......"
After that, Tang Hanlin put down the microphone and turned around to leave.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Tonight, in such a hurry?"
"Doesn't that mean that the genius is leaving?"
"Is something wrong?"
β¦β¦
Prince Fitz was also a little surprised, and followed Tang Hanlin's footsteps with the support of the waiter: "Mr. Tang Hanlin, why are you in such a hurry?" Am I not hospitable? β
Tang Hanlin shook his head, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Excellency, I just suddenly feel that there is a loophole in the script, and there is something that needs to be revised......"
Prince Fitz: "I see...... But why do you have to go back to the Ancient Moon Kingdom? Can't you change the script at zero? β
Tang Hanlin was unmoved: "This script originated in Yujing and should end in Yujing, only by returning to Yujing can I make up for the plot loopholes I just thought of." β
Prince Fitz frowned slightly, but there was nothing to say, artists, there are always some quirks.
He said helplessly: "Then I can only look forward to Mr.'s new drama coming out as soon as possible." β
β¦β¦
"Huh?"
Below, Noris blinked, a little confused: "This is leaving?" β
An indescribable strangeness rose in her heart: "Mr. Tang Hanlin's signature didn't arrive, Baron Jolton didn't find it, and he was scolded by His Excellency the Prince in vain, and I will have to take two more hours of etiquette classes every day in the future, oh my God, it's a loss tonight." Why don't you stay in the same boat and listen to Mr. Siliang talk about the mysterious murderer......"
