Chapter 385: Origin of the Spirit Stone
"Hello!" Xiang Xing greeted a young man from the Western Regions who he didn't know, raised his wine glass, and took another sip.
The young man nodded at him, but he didn't drink, and then whispered to the man next to him.
Xiang Xing, who felt bored, then walked forward: "Nice to meet you! I'm ......."
The other smiled at him and nodded, then ignored him.
Xiang Xing said secretly: This is too rude.
Linglong on the dragon chair always paid attention to Xiang Xing's every move. I want to laugh, but I can't, I can only try to endure it.
Xiang Xing greeted five or six people in total, but none of them really paid attention to him. sighed helplessly and walked directly towards Linglong.
"Stop!" As soon as he stepped on the steps, the two guards exchanged left and right hands to block Xiang Xing.
The guests were startled by the sound of the guards and cast curious glances.
At the same time, some people commented, "Who is that person? Don't you know the rules?"
"Looking at what he is wearing, he should be from the Jin Kingdom of Middle-earth. Hehe, I'm anxious to see Your Majesty!"
Just when people thought that Xiang Xing would be driven down. The king of Brahman, however, waved his hand: "Let him come." ”
The surprise was not enough, the guests were only slightly disappointed. Who among them would want to go anywhere else. I just feel that His Majesty is kind to people, and he is a person from another country, and he has said that he has given some extra-conventional courtesy.
Walking to the front of the dragon case, Xiang Xing raised his glass and said, "A cup to the Western Regions." ”
Linglong couldn't hold back any longer, and a smile appeared between the corners of her mouth. picked up the crystal cup on the desk and touched Xiang Xing.
Both drank it all at the same time.
put down the wine glass, poured wine for Xiang Xing himself, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Bad guy." Use water to trick me. ”
"You know that. I don't drink much. ”
Pour yourself a glass, raise your glass and stand up, and say loudly: "Introduce to Zhuqing." This is King Xiang of the Jin Kingdom, the owner of Tianxian Tower. ”
"I've seen King Xiang......"
The prince of the Jin Kingdom is about the same as the Grand Duke of the Western Regions. This King Xiang only has a Xiang Wang's mansion, and he doesn't even have a private army. As for Tianxian Tower, no matter how strong it is, what can it do? Behind it is not relying on the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.
The people of the Western Regions are somewhat disdainful. This prince gave him a real waste.
Xiang Xing raised his drink and said, "Hello." ”
"Move a chair!"
The emperor had an order, the waiter moved quickly, and a wooden chair was placed on the left hand side of the dragon chair at the signal of Linglong.
"King Xiang, please!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
The two sat down at the same time. Linglong looked around, although the guests were puzzled, but no one dared to ask more.
"King Xiang came here this time just to enjoy the style of the Western Regions. You don't have to be restrained. ”
"Yes!"
Xiang Xing muttered in a low voice: "It's not because of you? What kind of customs are you watching? Haven't you just tasted the most beautiful style in the Western Regions?"
Linglong coughed lightly, and the muttering stopped immediately.
Just then, the second tune sounded. The older generation, or the married, retreated in both directions. There are many young and handsome unmarried men left in the middle.
Fortunately, Gothos filled his glass and walked slowly up in a very confident and dashing manner.
When he came to the dragon case, he took a sip of wine, turned his other hand behind his back, and bowed ninety degrees. He said crisply and loudly: "Your Majesty, can you dance together?" ”
Xiang Xing, who didn't know the rules, sent a voice to her: "Go quickly, go quickly." It's been a long time since I've seen you dance. ”
Linglong lazily ignored him, picked up the wine and took a sip, ignoring Xing Gessos.
Below, Grand Duke Xingge only felt a "buzz" in his brain, his eyes were blurred, and he held his body to prevent him from falling to the ground, and sighed in his heart: It's over, it's over. His Majesty did not take a fancy to Soth.
Dancing with the Brahmin king is not 100% good with her. But if the Brahmin king ignores you, he is 100% hopeless. Dancing together at a reception is the best time to make an impression on the minds of the Brahmin kings.
The Brahmin king himself had little contact with people, so she could remember that it was very possible for her to settle in Foguang Castle through the operation of the elders in the family.
Despite his loss, he still had to keep a smile on his face. In the strange eyes of everyone, Soth still walked down gracefully. Those steps were like a step to hell for him.
The Brahmin king is the man's dream lover and the idol of the women of the Western Regions. All women follow the example of the Empress. Fortunately, Gethos can already see the scene of his matchmaker being kicked out of the house by those guys in the near future.
"Alas...... Even if you say something...... If you don't say a word, I'm going to be out of luck. ”
Soth had a good idea. The Brahmin king does not say anything, so the meaning conveyed is obvious. Soth wasn't worth her mouth.
The music continues. As soon as the second young man who was about to take the stage took a step, the Brahmin king stood up again: "Stop!"
The music stops. The Brahmin King turned to the dragon case and said, "Recently, ghosts and monsters have been in turmoil in various parts of the Western Regions, and Zhu Qing must have known about it. ”
A minister came out and saluted, "As of last night, there have been eighty-one demonic troubles everywhere. There are about four thousand and seventy-five demons of all kinds. ”
"Well, the Buddhist master has gone to various places to deal with this matter with the various factions, as well as the Brahmin army led by Aruda. Do you have any opinions?"
Another member said: "If the Buddha blesses the Western Regions, he will definitely drive away evil spirits." Your Majesty is benevolent and sage, and will lead the Western Regions to glory. ”
A loud sycophant, the exquisite shot is very useful. In normal times, Linglong would only think it was funny. Now, there is Xiang Xing sitting there and letting others say that he is good, huh...... It's very comfortable!
The ministers began to whisper. The appearance of demons was too far away for them. Even if there are demons in their own territory, they don't have to worry, they have someone to take care of everything for them.
"Be quiet!" Linglong held up the box that Xiang Xing gave her, "Who knows this?"
"I know!" said everyone at the same time.
"Louder, what is this?"
"The lacquer box in the treasury that holds the spirit stones. ”
The officials' fortunes and the spirit stones rewarded by His Majesty are all contained in this kind of box.
Linglong said again: "This morning, King Xiang came to see me with this box. It is said that someone colluded with demons with bad intentions. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, don't be gullible when others say it. The treasury spirit stone is guarded by a special person, and the number of entries and exits and the reasons are clear. Don't talk about demons, even villains can't do anything. ”
"What Chen Gong said is good. Buddhism is the nemesis of demons, and the treasury is the most important thing, and demons cannot infiltrate at all. ”
Xiang Xing said lightly: "The Brahmin King means that someone colludes with demons. ”
"Bold," at the moment, many ministers angrily reprimanded, "Those who can get the treasury spirit stones are all important ministers of my Western Regions." What is your intention in talking nonsense?"
Hundreds of boxes fell out. Linglong casually opened one of them. The energetic high-grade spirit stones inside are neat and tidy.
"So many spirit stones must be approved by me. The treasurer and the chief of the inner court. ”
It didn't take long for two people to enter the hall. Xiang Xing recognized one person, the head of the inner courtyard - Lao Wei.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Old Wei, how many boxes of spirit stones have I approved recently?"
Lao Wei didn't think about it and said, "Three strokes." ”
"Treasury Officer?"
"Your Majesty, what Chief Wei said is right. In the past three months, there have been three hundred boxes of spirit stones in and out of the treasury. ”
Both of them have the ability to look at the eyes, and they don't need to turn over the accounts, everything is clear in their hearts.
Lao Wei said again: "The first stroke, one hundred and eighty boxes of high-grade spirit stones." It was used to buy good elixirs in the Jin Kingdom. Officer, can there be a turnback?"
"The transaction has been completed, and the elixir is now stored in the Arsenal of the Treasury. ”
"The second one, a total of five hundred boxes. Purchase the high-grade metal materials of the Jin Kingdom for the needs of our army's equipment. ”
The official said: "At noon, the royal caravan just delivered news. The metal materials of the East China Sea were landed in the Jin Kingdom, and the quality was slightly better, and the price was also 10% more expensive. The minister originally wanted His Majesty to be saged, but unfortunately he could not enter the castle. ”
Xiang Xing scratched his head unconsciously. have delayed other people's business.
Linglong nodded and said, "Tell them that if you choose a good purchase, you will send someone to send it." ”
Linglong is rich, and very rich. Before, there was nowhere to go for the spirit stone, but now all parties are traded. Then the spirit stone will no longer have to stay in the treasury. Spending a lot of money and making the Western Regions strong is the right way.
One more point. The largest spiritual stone vein in Shenzhou is still in semi-production. Miners are paid high salaries and mine casually for a day. If there are not enough spirit stones in the treasury, only a will is needed. Seven days, as long as seven days, you can fill the treasury with spirit stones.
Lao Wei said again: "The third stroke, a hundred boxes of high-grade spirit stones......"
There was a commotion among the people. The number is right.
"A month ago, someone came to your Majesty. It is said that he will take 100 boxes of high-grade spirit stones, and go to the Jin Kingdom, the East China Sea, Nanyi, and the Beiban to find business opportunities and bring better goods to the Western Regions. ”
"Are you back?" asked Linglong.
The official said: "I haven't returned yet, and there is no news coming." ”
Linglong sat back on the dragon chair and said, "Who led it, stand up yourself." I was obsessed with demons. No punishment and no accountability. If I find out. Three generations have entered the Temple of Silence and will never come out. ”
