Chapter 164 The King



After packing everything, Gu Qingfeng prepared to set off, but he suddenly stopped just as he took the first step.

"Where the hell is this? Where should I go?"

Apparently, he was lost again.

Gu Qingfeng scratched his head, but did not panic because he already had experience in dealing with such situations.

Turn on the soul scan and it instantly covers the surroundings.

"Hmm? There's a demon not far to the left. OK, that's it."

Gu Qingfeng muttered, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, an old lady appeared in his sight.

Gu Qingfeng walked over with a step that showed he didn't recognize any relatives. The old lady also noticed Gu Qingfeng and immediately showed a kind smile on her face.

"Young man, I twisted my ankle while collecting firewood on the mountain. Could you please be kind enough to carry me down the mountain? My home is not far away..."

Bang!

A big slap hit the kind old lady's face.

The old lady was slapped to the ground in an instant, and her true form was revealed immediately. Her originally kind face turned into a cat's face.

His body still looks old and frail.

The cat-faced old lady looked at Gu Qingfeng fiercely: "How dare you hit..."

Bang bang bang!

A dozen big slaps hit the cat-faced old lady's face from both sides, making it bloody and a lot of cat hair on her face fell off.

It was slapped and looked confused and terrified.

Who is this person? It's fine if he doesn't respect the elderly and love the young, but why did he slap me without saying a word?

"Help! Stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me!" The old lady with a cat face wanted to escape, but she was held down so tightly that she couldn't move at all and could only keep being beaten.

"Will you lead the way?" Gu Qingfeng asked while smoking.

"What kind of road are you leading?" the cat-faced old lady screamed miserably.

"Okay, are you still playing dumb?"

Bang bang bang!

"Stop fighting! I'll lead the way!"

Gu Qingfeng stopped and said with satisfaction: "That's better. Why didn't you just agree earlier? You don't have to endure so much physical pain."

The cat-faced old lady was a little upset: "Sir, you didn't even ask at the beginning, you just came up and hit me..."

Bang!

Another slap in the face.

"I didn't ask you, could you not have used some subjective initiative? Don't you know what it means to read people's expressions? Use your brain. I'm walking alone in this deep forest. Even a fool can tell that I'm lost.

You didn't take the initiative to come over and say hello and lead the way, but instead wanted me to carry you down the mountain? You have no sense at all. Do you think you should be beaten?"

The cat-faced old lady completely collapsed. What kind of people are these? They shouldn't bully monsters like this.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's my fault for being short-sighted. Where are you going, sir? I'll lead the way."

"Take me to Wutong County, Donglin Prefecture. Well, forget it. Take me to the monster's lair nearby first. My construction site is short of manpower now. I'll go and recruit some monster workers."

......

Three days later.

Gu Qingfeng returned to Wutong County riding a handsome black-feathered eagle.

As soon as I entered the city, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. The entire Wutong County seemed to be under martial law. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and from time to time I could see teams of armored soldiers posting notices everywhere.

Gu Qingfeng randomly found a signboard, which was already crowded with people pointing at it.

Because there were too many people, Gu Qingfeng couldn't squeeze in, so he could only ask the person next to him: "Brother, what's going on?"

The man was obviously a gossipy person, and immediately asked with a gossipy look on his face: "You don't even know about such a big thing? A few days ago, a man named Gu Qingfeng inherited the immortality pill, and guess what happened?

Gu Qingfeng was kidnapped on the spot. The emperor was waiting for the elixir of immortality to prolong his life, so he was furious and mobilized the entire country to search for Gu Qingfeng's whereabouts. He even posted notices and portraits, saying that anyone who could find Gu Qingfeng or provide clues would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold.

That's a fortune! Who wouldn't be tempted? So they all crowded here to look at the portrait, remember the appearance, and hope to try their luck one day. "

Gu Qingfeng's mouth twitched: "Brother, I have studied medicine since I was young, and I am good at observation, smelling, asking and palpation. The first time I saw you, I found that you had an eye disease."

The man was shocked and said, "My God, you figured this out? To be honest, my family was poor when I was young, but I loved studying very much. I often read by moonlight, which is why I have eye problems."

"Brother, let's not talk about this for now. If we know the whereabouts of Gu Qingfeng, where should we go to claim the reward?"

"Of course I'll go to the government office. Any government office will do."

"Thank you for letting me know." Gu Qingfeng couldn't wait and went straight to the yamen.

"Hey, don't leave, miraculous doctor! You haven't told me how to cure my eye disease yet!"

Gu Qingfeng walked away without looking back, and as he walked he thought, if I find myself, can I also get a lot of gold?

Should be possible, right?

By the way, if those wanted criminals surrender themselves, can they receive their own bounties?

......

After one stick of incense.

Gu Qingfeng sat in the yamen, drinking tea served by the county magistrate himself, sitting on the main seat, looking very comfortable.

The county magistrate said with embarrassment, "Master Gu, there has never been a precedent of someone collecting his own reward. Besides, you will be a king in the future, so why worry about ten thousand taels of gold? When you become a prince, not to mention ten thousand taels of gold, even a million taels will be within your reach."

Gu Qingfeng took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Old Zhang, let me ask you, if I take the ten thousand taels of gold, will I not have the million taels of gold in the future?"

"This... of course not." County Magistrate Zhang said with embarrassment.

"That's all. Since it doesn't affect my getting one million taels of gold, why can't I take ten thousand taels first?"

"But...but, how can I report this?"

"Are you stupid? Why don't you just say that you found me, then go and claim the reward, and then give the money to me?"

"Ah!? You can't do that. You absolutely can't do that. This is a crime of deceiving the king!"

Bang!

Gu Qingfeng slammed the table fiercely: "Old Zhang! Do you know what a king who is shoulder to shoulder with the emperor means? A king who is shoulder to shoulder with the emperor is someone who can sit on the dragon throne shoulder to shoulder with the emperor! Half of the Great Yan Dynasty belongs to me, what bullshit crime of deceiving the emperor? Isn't that just a matter of a word from me?

If you don't do this for me today, you have to consider the consequences yourself."

County Magistrate Zhang was almost frightened when he heard Gu Qingfeng's rebellious remarks. It turned out that the man in front of him really wanted to be on equal footing with the emperor.

But no matter what, Gu Qingfeng was not someone a small county magistrate like him could afford to offend, so he had to do as he was told.

"I will obey your orders, Your Highness." County Magistrate Zhang didn't care whether Gu Qingfeng had become a prince at this time. Since he had called himself a prince, it would be better not to offend him.

"Well, Lao Zhang, you are very clear-headed." Gu Qingfeng smiled and picked up the teacup to sip the tea again.

At this moment, suddenly there was an astonishing pressure coming from the sky not far away.
