Chapter 168 Huo Xing Obtains the Fire Lotus
"Didn't the prince go to the military camp? How could he be here? Besides, the identity of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is extraordinary."
Looking at the millstone sedan chair going away, Su Yuheng sighed.
He had heard his master talk about the head of Tianji Pavilion before.
All we know is that this Pavilion Master is good at using troops, and he is ruthless and kills people like crazy.
Seeing him today, I didn't feel scared.
The other side
"Your Majesty, I was almost recognized by the Princess."
Bai Ze, who was wearing a mask beside him, whispered to Huo Xingzhi.
Under the mask, Huo Xingzhi's expression was calm.
"Heng'er didn't go to the suburban house to visit Shen Tingzhou. I think he encountered something unexpected on the way, so he came to Ming Street."
"Bai Ze, let Zhuque go and protect Heng'er."
"It's time to introduce Suzaku to Heng'er."
Bai Ze nodded: "Yes, Master."
After Bai Ze finished speaking, he walked to the front of the millstone sedan chair and came to the side of a woman in black. After arranging what Huo Xingzhi had said, he returned to Huo Xingzhi's millstone sedan chair.
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the princess the identity of the Master of Tianji Pavilion?"
Huo Xingzhi frowned and whispered, "I'll tell Heng'er when the time comes."
At this point, no one knows the identity of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion except the current emperor and Bai Ze, a few personal guards.
After the sedan chair from Tianji Pavilion arrived at the Imperial Palace, Emperor Showa came to receive it in person.
When Emperor Showa saw the head of Tianji Pavilion dressed in black and wearing a silver mask, an expression of excitement appeared on his face.
"I never thought that after waiting so long, the Pavilion Master would finally come."
"Pavilion Master, you are honored to be here today. I have prepared a banquet. Please come and invite us."
Huo Xingzhi said in a cold voice, "Then I'll have to trouble His Majesty the Great Yan."
After saying this, Huo Xingzhi was taken to the Golden Throne Hall by Emperor Zhaohe and several palace maids and eunuchs.
The meal has been prepared in the Golden Palace.
When Huo Xingzhi entered, he happened to see the retired emperor.
The emperor was sitting on a high throne, holding a glass of wine and looking at himself quietly.
The two looked at each other, Huo Xingzhi's mouth twitched, and he quickly looked away.
When the emperor saw him deliberately dodging, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This bastard even lied to his father.
Soon, there was singing and dancing in the Golden Palace.
The people who came to see the head of Tianji Pavilion this time included the retired emperor, Emperor Showa, several court ministers, and several princesses.
After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Showa got straight to the point.
"I don't know why the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion came to our Dayan this time."
Under the silver mask, the corners of Huo Xingzhi's lips curled up.
"I came here today to make a deal with His Majesty the Great Yan. I wonder if His Majesty the Great Yan is willing?"
"Make a deal?" Emperor Showa frowned.
The Tianji Pavilion controls the entire black market and has many industries under its name. Emperor Showa would be more than happy to do business with the Tianji Pavilion.
Emperor Showa asked, "What is the deal? Why don't you tell me clearly?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said calmly, "This transaction must be kept secret."
Huo Xingzhi waved his right hand, and a black-clad guard came forward holding a box.
When the box was opened, there was a treasure bag inside.
"The deal is in this brocade bag. Your Majesty, please review it."
Eunuch Wang came down and brought the brocade bag to Emperor Showa.
Emperor Showa picked up the note in the blue brocade bag and slowly opened it. The few lines of words that came into his sight made his eyes light up.
He looked at Huo Xingzhi with some excitement.
"Is what Pavilion Master said true?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. We at Tianji Pavilion always keep our promises and never lie."
"However, the two things involved in this transaction concern the capital of the Great Yan State and our Tianji Pavilion. Your Majesty, please do not tell anyone about this matter."
Emperor Showa could not hide his excitement.
If Dayan obtained the formula of gunpowder, it would not have to worry about Qi and Qin at all.
It's worth exchanging a fire lotus for a gunpowder formula.
He put the note away and looked at Huo Xingzhi with joy.
"I am willing to make this deal with the Pavilion Master."
"However, I also hope that the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion can do what he says."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Our Tianji Pavilion is well-known and we will never do anything that would damage our reputation."
"Then I feel relieved." Emperor Showa said.
After the banquet, Emperor Zhaohe asked someone to bring Huo Xingzhi to the imperial study.
Huo Xingzhi was dressed in black, wearing a silver mask, and had changed his hairstyle.
He lowered his voice deliberately and sat on a chair to the side so that Emperor Showa would not notice at all.
After a while, a palace maid brought in a blue treasure box.
The box opened, and a gorgeous fire lotus appeared in front of everyone.
Emperor Zhaohe said, "This is the Fire Lotus sent by the Qin State. I now give this Fire Lotus to the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion. I also ask for the formula for gunpowder."
Huo Xingzhi signaled Bai Ze beside him.
Bai Ze then opened the box and handed the gunpowder formula to Emperor Zhaohua.
Emperor Zhaohua opened a booklet in the box. In addition to the formula of gunpowder, the booklet also contained the detailed process of making gunpowder.
"It's indeed the gunpowder formula."
"I wonder if the Pavilion Master has presented this recipe to Qi or Qin."
Huo Xingzhi said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will only present this gunpowder formula to Dayan."
In order to avoid being recognized by Emperor Showa, he stood up from his chair and signaled Bai Ze to put away the fire lotus.
"It's getting late, and I have to rush to the Tianji Pavilion. Since the deal is done, I won't bother His Majesty the Great Yan anymore."
"Goodbye!"
Emperor Showa also stood up and said, "I will escort the Pavilion Master out."
Huo Xingzhi nodded.
When Emperor Zhaohe escorted Huo Xingzhi and his entourage out of the palace gate, Huo Xingzhi got directly into the sedan chair.
Looking at the backs of the group of people gradually going away, Emperor Showa frowned.
"Why do I feel that the Master of Tianji Pavilion looks like Xing Zhi?"
