Chapter 604: The Secret of the Divine Weapon Map
Bang--
King Hu Man punched hard on the ground with a sinister look in his eyes.
"They actually threw the fragments of the divine weapon map into the incense burner! If our people hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid those fragments would have been burned to ashes!"
He had been holding this breath for a long time and was finally able to let it out.
When he first heard Bai Xiaofeng throw the magic weapon map into the incense burner as if it were waste paper, he really wanted to chop him with a sword!
"Bai Xiaofeng single-handedly built Wangque Tower and is extremely famous in the Middle-earth. He is definitely not a simple man. My prince, I'm afraid there might be a trick here." The Queen Mother frowned, her worry evident in her words. "Su Jiuni and the others are already on their way to the royal city and should arrive in a few days. Bai Xiaofeng has waited until now to tell you the location of the Divine Weapon Map. There must be a plan behind this."
"Hmph, so what? He's in our hands. If he dares to cheat, he'll be in trouble! As for Su Jiuni and the others, Queen Mother, there's no need to worry too much. I've already sent people to spread the news that Bai Xiaofeng is in another palace and lure them there. The time between the two is enough for us to get the Divine Weapon Map first. By then, even if Su Jiuni comes looking for him, it will be useless. Bai Xiaofeng was not abducted by us. He came here voluntarily as a guest. What can she do if she comes? Is she going to kill him at will? My Human Palace is not just for decoration!"
"What about Bai Xiaofeng? After you get the map of the magic weapon, are you really going to let him go? Bai Xiaofeng is a vengeful person, and he will never let go of anything. Letting him go would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain."
It was already night, and lights could be seen outside the king's chambers.
The Hu Man King looked out the window in a certain direction, raised his lips and sneered, "Of course I have to let him go. I keep my word. But once he leaves the royal city, whatever happens to Bai Xiaofeng outside will have nothing to do with me. The Hu Man Kingdom is open to the world, and we have a mix of good and bad people. Bai Xiaofeng started his career by selling information and is aloof and arrogant. He has made many enemies. Who knows at whose hands he will end up?"
Turning back, the Hu Man King looked at the worried old woman and poured her a cup of tea with a smile. "Mother, when this matter is resolved, I will take care of the Queen Mother for you. I know you don't like her."
"No need." The Queen Mother spoke of that bitch with disdain. "It would be easy for me to kill her. Now she's nothing more than a pleasure to me. That bitch used to charm your father with her looks, thinking she'd soar to the sky. Humph! I'm keeping her here on purpose, making her grovel at my feet every day! She's been in the palace for decades, but she can't have a child. She's been a concubine all her life, required to visit me morning and night, and kneel before me every time she sees me! Even my only son hates her to the core! She abandoned her husband and children to curry favor with the king. This is what she asked for! She deserves it!"
Upon hearing this, King Hu Man gave up. It didn't matter to him whether the Queen Mother was dead or alive. He only mentioned it to make his mother happy.
The most important thing right now is the map of the magic weapon.
Bai Xiaofeng clearly had the map of the magic weapon in his hand but did not go looking for treasure, which meant that he did not know what else was hidden in the place where the magic weapon was hidden.
He is clearly the only surviving direct descendant of the Mohist family, yet he knows nothing about the family's secrets.
Thanks to the fact that Queen Dowager Wang stole the only secret scroll of the Mohist school, it fell into his hands before being read by more people.
"Hehehe..." King Hu Man laughed softly, and the anger that had been suppressed for half a day was finally gone.
…
In early March, the city of the Human King was filled with snow, fog and blooming flowers.
Each piece of flower is as white as snow, and the air is filled with the unique cool fragrance of snow mist flowers.
The women in the city came in groups, carrying small baskets to pick up the fallen petals of the snow mist flower. When they collected enough petals in a basket, they could take them to the government spice shop to exchange them for silver.
The thin old man walked around outside the official spice shop with his hands behind his back. There were too many people selling flower petals and he couldn't squeeze in, so he went back to the pancake shop opposite and sat down with his hands behind his back.
"Grandpa knew it was the snow mist flower as soon as he smelled the fragrance!" The old man boasted to his classmates with his chin raised high.
Grandpa’s nose is still as sharp as ever!
Yang Zhi looked across and saw a long queue in front of the spice shop, all of which were women carrying baskets full of flower petals to exchange for money.
He said, "The Snow Mist Flower is the national flower of the Human people. It only grows in the royal city and has a unique and pleasant fragrance. The Human people use the Snow Mist Flower to make rouge, scented powder, and scented oils, which also make the fragrance last. The women of the upper class are extremely fond of Snow Mist Flower products. Because Snow Mist Flower products can only be made by officials, the finished products are expensive, and it is stipulated that only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can purchase them. Ordinary people are not allowed to use them. Therefore, Snow Mist Flower products are considered a symbol of status."
There were many people around, and Tianbao didn't say anything. He just exchanged glances quickly with Bai Yu, Xiao Mai Sui, and Su Wu.
Since it is something that only the powerful and wealthy can use, the silver hairpin left in my godfather's room must have been used by the female relatives of the powerful and wealthy Hu people.
The old man turned his eyes away again. Oh my god, no wonder that bastard Bai Xiaofeng is still single at his age and never even looks at a woman. He must be heartbroken because he was cuckolded!
Poor, poor thing!
It made me laugh to death, hahaha!
The pancakes they ordered arrived on the table. The waiter who brought them over had obviously heard what they had just said and said with a smile, "The snow mist flower is indeed a symbol of status. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money. Those snow mist flower spices are used by royal nobles. I heard that even the nobles in the palace love these incense. You guys don't sound like locals. Are you here in the royal city to watch the Buddha ceremony at this time?"
"Buddha sacrifice? What is that?" The old man was curious.
"The Buddhist Ceremony is a royal ceremony of prayer and commemoration. It's held every March at the Temple of Heaven near the Jingshan Palace. It's a grand and lively occasion, and many visitors from other places flock to watch and join in the fun. You've arrived just in time. The royal family set out for Jingshan a few days ago, and they're in great shape. I heard that the Queen Mother reunited with a long-lost relative a few years ago, and she brought that person with her to fulfill a vow to the ancient Buddha during this Buddhist ceremony."
"You're just a pancake vendor, but you're talking about everything in the palace. Did you hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes? You know everything about the Queen Mother reuniting with her relatives to fulfill a vow. Are you trying to trick me by saying I'm from out of town?"
"Oh, sir, you're wronging me. When the palace people were traveling, they passed by on the streets. The Queen Dowager was accompanied by a man in a white robe. Many people saw them on the streets, so naturally, they would inquire about it. The news came from high-ranking officials, and my shop has customers discussing it every day. As for whether it's true or not, I'm just saying this. You can just treat it as gossip and don't take it seriously."
The guy chuckled and walked away.
There were indeed other guests who came to eat cakes and were talking to each other in high and low voices. From time to time, one could hear words like "white robe", "over fifty years old", and "palace".
The old man grabbed the biscuit and ate it, then turned his head and looked at his granddaughter quietly, only to receive a slight shake of his head.
The old man calmed down.
What the hell? Grandpa has traveled all over the country and seen many storms. If this kind of trick is put in front of him, will he believe it?
snort.
