Chapter 40: Enveloping

"The ceremony begins, please give a gift to the envoy!" Zhao Gao read out loudly, and the long-awaited reward ceremony officially began.

The attendant duly walked up to the green-robed old man, holding a silver plate in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth. The attendant half-knelt in front of the old man, holding the silver plate high above his head with both hands, and the old man stretched out a skinny old palm from his green robe and uncovered the red cloth.

Everyone's eyes fell on the silver plate, and when they saw a row of small rings lined up among them, they were inevitably in an uproar. Everyone has heard of the abundant financial resources of the Imperial City, but they didn't expect it to be so extravagant as to use the storage spirit weapon as a container for storing rewards. Even the lowest-level storage spirit weapon can be regarded as a treasure in a medium-sized tribe, but I didn't expect the imperial city to take out so many at will.

The voice of the green-robed envoy rang out: "Seventh place in the Spirit Master Qualifying Competition, Zhao Clan, Zhao Chenghe." Reward a piece of second-order spirit soil, ten second-order spirit seeds, and a thousand gold coins!" Chu Qili walked out of the crowd flattered by a dignified-looking sturdy young man beside him, knelt down in front of the imperial city envoy, and took the storage ring.

The green-robed old man handed the storage spirit weapon to Zhao Chengsi, and everyone was shocked. Although spirit soil and spirit seeds are also precious items, as long as you have gold coins in your hand, most of them can be purchased. And this storage artifact is the real priceless, even the tribal chiefs keep them as treasures, and no one is willing to sell them easily.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being attracted by those rewards, Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and pushed Chu Qili twice, frowned slightly, and his face was a little more angry, and he scolded in a low voice: "You person... Why are you so rude!" The envoy of the Imperial City was rewarding, and Zhao Zhi didn't dare to exert too much force, and his weak strength couldn't push away Chu Heli beside him at all, but instead gave people a feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome.

Chu Hat, whose face was calm and composed, couldn't stop beating wildly in his heart, this was a task that Chief Zhao Gao temporarily imposed on him, after all, he needed a reasonable identity to represent the Zhao clan in the spirit control. And this "son-in-law" identity was Zhao Gao's last request, Chu hated and was soft-hearted, so he couldn't bear it for a while and agreed.

Zhao Gao also temporarily taught him two tricks, saying that his daughter had not had too much contact with the opposite sex since she was a child, as long as Chu Hatli had a preconceived idea, hugged her, and made her lose her mind for a short time, and then find a chance to explain.

Sure enough, "knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father", the moment Chu Hatli grabbed her waist, Zhao Zhi's whole body froze in his arms, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and remember to resist. Although everything was going according to Chief Zhao's plan, Zhao Zhi obviously didn't know that she had this "calamity", and glared at Chu Qili angrily.

Chu Qili, who was extremely embarrassed, had no choice but to put it next to her ear and whispered, "I'm really sorry I didn't take the lead in asking your opinion." This is Chief Zhao's arrangement, and he will explain it to you later. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were on those rewards, and he was not stared at by everyone, and after throwing the "black cauldron" to Chief Zhao Gao, he felt a little more at ease.

Zhao Rou on the side looked at the intimate whisper between the two just now, and said with a smile: "I knew that the relationship between the two of you was not ordinary......" Zhao Zhi noticed that her sister had been looking at her embarrassment, her face turned a little redder, and she glared at Zhao Rou threateningly, before she shut up.

The two were ambiguous, and the reward ceremony quickly advanced, and the green-robed messenger summoned everyone to the front one by one and handed them a storage ring. The reward also increased with the ranking, and Han An, who ranked second, got ten pieces of spirit soil, hundreds of spirit seeds, and tens of thousands of gold coins, such a reward made him happy, and he almost jumped high with excitement. Holding back the joy in his heart, Han An saluted the old man several times and thanked him before retreating to the crowd.

The reward of the second place is already priceless, and it has aroused everyone's curiosity about the first place reward, not to mention that this Chu Hatred has broken the record. Just as everyone was expecting, the reward ceremony came to an abrupt end. The green-robed envoy said indifferently: "I hope that you will enter the hall of the first-order spirit master as soon as possible, and the reward ceremony will end here." ”

Everyone is not stupid, although the green-robed envoy is silent about the reward of the first place, it is absolutely impossible to really let Chu Hate leave empty-handed.

"It seems that I didn't have the opportunity to see the reward of the first place, so my father and son retired first. Qin Shan knew that there would be a dispute next, so he resisted his curiosity and decided to leave with his son. Qin Tianhua also learned from his father to bow to everyone, and then the two of them took the lead in leaving the hall.

The Han clan had mixed joys and sorrows, and so far, they were the biggest beneficiaries of this reward ceremony. But the Imperial City had no intention of canceling the location of the Zhao Clan's Imperial Spirit Master Competition, which also made them anxious. In the past two years, the envoys of the imperial city have clearly shown their intention to cancel the Zhao tribe's venue.

As the deputy chief of the Han clan, Han Lan immediately said: "Lord Messenger, the Zhao clan has not cultivated a good enough spirit master for many years, I think the qualifications of the place where this spirit master competition will be held ......."

The green-robed old man waved his hand, interrupting her intention to continue, "There is no need to repeat these small things, the first place in this Spirit Master Qualifying Tournament, you can go with me." With that, the old man walked straight out of the hall, and under the signal of Chief Zhao Gao, Chu Heli followed.

Han Lan watched unwillingly as the envoy of the Imperial City left with Chu Hat, and gritted his teeth and left the hall with a few people behind him.

The green-robed old man and Chu Hatred left one after the other, and the two stopped in front of a door. He instructed Chu Heli: "When you meet Ye Gongzi in a while, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not offend." Chu Qili nodded, pushed open the quaint wooden door, and walked into a courtyard.

In the courtyard, the young man in white was lying lazily in a chair, surrounded by several maids pinching his shoulders and beating his legs. Seeing Chu Qili walking slowly, Ye Gongzi waved his hand to disperse the group of maids, straightened up, and a trace of surprise flashed on his delicate face: "I didn't expect it to be a familiar face." ”

This Ye Gongzi didn't know him, but he Chu Heli knew that this gentleman of the Imperial City, he had a few confrontations a few days ago, and he didn't leave a good impression on Chu Geli. "A gentleman is lustful but not lewd", but this Ye Gongzi is often accompanied by women. When he entered the arena a few days ago, he even untied the belt of the maid in the carriage during the day, and his character can be seen.

Coupled with the arrogant and domineering coachman, Chu Hatli was even more disgusted. Knowing that he was summoned, Chu Heli excused himself from Chief Zhao Gao several times, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, and considering the interests of the Zhao family, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Chu Heli bowed and saluted: "Chu tribe, Chu Hali, I have seen Ye Gongzi." ”

Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, Ye Gongzi smiled and said, "Even if you chiefs come to see me, you have to bow down, are you like this?"

Chu Heli hesitated for a moment, and was just about to curtsy but was stopped by him, "I don't care about those red tape people, we have met, and you have a judgment on me in your heart." Of course, I know a little bit about your situation......"

"Chu Hatli, the youngest leader of the Chu tribe, was kicked out of the tribe as a burden a few months ago, and now he is struggling with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled...... Am I right?" Ye Gongzi asked, tilting his head. Seeing that Chu Qili was silent, he continued: "Instead of succumbing to this low-level tribe, you might as well consider following me. It's a lot more majestic than this bullshit chieftain to be a coachman for me. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at barking, I'm afraid it's hard to accept Ye Gongzi's kindness. Chu Qili ignored his slightly sarcastic words, and said seriously, "There are all kinds of things in the world for a reason, I will give my people the truth, whether it is a burden or not, I will say it myself!"

Ye Gongzi said with a smile: "The lion can still lead the sheep in a hundred battles, and the sheep are weak even if they lead the lions." Before, it was just a joke, but I sincerely invite you to join me in a great cause. With that, he got up and left the chair, stood straight opposite Chu Hatli, and slowly stretched out a right hand.

"I still have hundreds of people in need of shelter, so... Forgive me!" Chu Qili was decisive, he didn't think that this gentleman could have any outstanding ambitions.

was repeatedly rejected, and a little displeasure appeared on Ye Gongzi Junlang's face. There was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, which also made him even more annoyed, so he shouted sharply to the door: "Messenger An, bring them in to talk, what kind of noisy and noisy thing is it?"
