Chapter 255 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Half an hour later.
The disaster victims who were watching near the dock were driven aside by the Beijing guards who cleared the way.
The imperial procession has arrived.
The new emperor wore a casual dress today in a low-key manner. Following behind him were twenty or thirty first- and second-rank court officials, generals, dukes and other dignitaries. There were also hundreds of guards protecting him from all sides. It was a grand and large-scale mobilization.
As a sign of respect, the villagers of Yunlu Village, led by Lu Xuan and Li Tie, as well as guests such as Ye Feiluan and Chen Bing, also came to the gangway in advance to welcome him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." As the person with the highest title and the most special status among them, Lu Xuan was the first to nod and greet the new emperor who was boarding the cruise ship.
The others were hesitant about whether to kowtow, but the new emperor took the initiative and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite outside."
Everyone then bowed slightly and saluted respectfully.
Chen Bing and others had seen the new emperor in the lounge of the holographic world, but it was the first time they saw the real emperor, so they were inevitably a little nervous.
Not to mention the people in Yunlu Village. The highest-ranking official ordinary people have ever seen is probably the official who comes to collect taxes every year. Huo Tiankuo is an exception.
At this moment, they not only saw the emperor, but also many top-ranking officials and dignitaries of the dynasty, whom they should never see in their lifetime. Many of them were so nervous that their calves were shaking and their faces were pale.
There were also those who boldly raised their heads secretly in the crowd and looked curiously at the New Emperor, muttering in their hearts that he didn't seem much different from them.
He was dressed better than them, but he still had two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
In terms of momentum and bearing, Lu Xuan is not inferior.
After boarding the cruise ship, the new emperor waved to the guards, "Just stand guard at the gangway and on the deck."
Besides the villagers, the only people on the cruise ship of Yunlu Village were Ye Feiluan, Bai Xuefeng and others, as well as Lu Xuan, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.
Some of the ministers looked hesitant, but in the end they said nothing.
In the end, there were less than thirty people who followed the villagers into the first floor.
In Yunlu Village, Li Tie looked at Lu Xuan with confusion.
Isn't it a bit too much of a fuss or too much of a presence for a hundred or so people from their village to follow?
Or should they just let everyone go their separate ways?
Before they could take action, the new emperor took the initiative and asked to meet the newly appointed nobles in the village.
"This is the first time I've conferred so many barons, and I haven't even met any of them yet. It's time to recognize them."
Except for Huo Tiankuo, who already knew everyone, all the ministers and nobles became interested.
There are nearly seventy people with special abilities in Yunlu Village, more than double the number of people with special abilities in the entire capital.
Some of the ministers present were given evolutionary fluid, but ultimately failed to awaken their special powers.
Now in their circle, if there is no one with supernatural powers in their own family or in-laws' family, even if there is no apparent change in status for the time being, in the long run, future development will definitely be restricted.
After the people present learned that a cruise ship was coming to Yunlu Village, many of them wanted to win over the psychics of Yunlu Village.
The method of coercion and inducement is not suitable for the wealthy Yunlu Village. Just like what was done to Lu Xuan before, the first choice is to use the beauty trap.
Ministers: Let me see if there is a suitable son-in-law of suitable age and appearance.
The people with special abilities in the village stood out from the crowd one by one. Lu Xuan also winked at the people from the special department and asked them to stand in the front.
The new emperor and his ministers looked them up and down with seriousness and curiosity. Among them, Liu Chun, Su Ying, Jiang Fan, Lu Chen, Zhang Dafu, Mei Cheng and Mei Xue were the focus of their attention.
So far, there is only one special department in the capital, Bai Xuefeng, but there are seven in Yunlu Village. Even the new emperor feels jealous.
Others thought that four out of the seven people were teenagers. Could it be that the younger ones who took the evolutionary fluid had a greater chance of awakening powerful superpowers?
Those who were stared at became extremely nervous, their bodies tensed, and their palms hanging at their sides were covered in sweat.
People like Zhang Dafu and the Mei siblings all had pale faces, but Lu Chen was relatively calm, with a serious expression on his face, like a little adult, which made the audience in the live broadcast room laugh.
After a moment, the new emperor said to the seven people in the special department: "Tell me your names, along with your corresponding abilities and levels."
Liu Chun was the first to speak because he was standing in the first place. He stammered, "I am... no, I am Liu Chun. My ability is enhancement, and it is currently at level three."
Next came Jiang Fan, who usually had a low presence in the village. He imitated Liu Chun and said, "I am Jiang Fan. My special ability is painlessness, and it is currently only at level two."
Su Ying, the only adult woman present, was not at all stage-frightened. She smiled sweetly at the new emperor and the ministers, and said softly, "I am Su Ying, and my special ability is hypnosis, level two."
Painlessness and hypnosis are rarely used in daily life. In addition, Wei Xiang and Xiong Mao are combatants and have a greater demand for crystal cores. As partners, Jiang Fan and Su Ying will give priority to giving them the crystal cores at home, so their own upgrade speed will naturally not be too fast.
Xiong Mao didn't care about these at all. He just raised his head proudly, thinking that his wife performed much better than Liu Chun and Jiang Fan, and would definitely leave a good impression in front of the emperor.
But after feeling proud, he was a little worried. His wife was beautiful and attractive, and she performed too well. What if she gave the emperor some inappropriate thoughts?
New Emperor:?
Xiong Mao was really worrying too much.
Not to mention that the new emperor is not fond of beautiful women, it is impossible for him to rob capable people and risk making all the superpowers in Yunlu Village dissatisfied with him.
Just considering the uniqueness of Su Ying's abilities, it is impossible for the new emperor to keep her by his side.
Not only the new emperor didn't know how to do it, but the ministers who had originally looked at Su Ying twice more because of her outstanding beauty also looked serious when they heard the word "hypnosis".
Beautiful women have always been a source of trouble. If they have the ability to control people's hearts, it would be even more terrifying.
Some people even looked at Su Ying with a bit of fear and vigilance, as if Su Ying was some kind of evil witch who could bring disaster to the country and spread cholera to the world at any time.
Su Ying rolled her eyes in her heart after noticing it.
The best she could do now was to have some fun with Xiong Mao at night, but even this kind of fun was gone after she became pregnant.
It is better to be wary of Lu Xuan than her, because he is the one who can bring the hypnosis ability to the extreme.
Then it was the turn of Lu Chen's four children.
With the example of the three adults before them, the four of them performed quite well. Their young age and more outstanding abilities than the first three also attracted more attention from the ministers, especially Mei Xue, who was inevitably looked at a few more times.
After the special department comes the other regular departments.
This time, the new emperor added an additional condition asking them to briefly introduce their family situation.
When it came to the turn of those who were obviously in their thirties or forties, most of the ministers didn't pay much attention. But when it came to the young people, they paid great attention and listened carefully.
After everyone had introduced themselves, they still found the best candidate to win over.
Li Tuo, the youngest son of the village chief.
He is just the right age to marry, not yet married, has pure combat ability such as fire, is not bad looking, and is the son of the village chief.
Although a low-ranking village official like the village chief is not worth mentioning in front of the first or second rank officials, size is also an advantage.
The slightly younger Li Miao is also good. At the age of 14, he has the ability of speed. It is not particularly outstanding, but he has only one mother, Sun, in his family. His family structure is simple, so it is easier to win him over and make him serve the Yue family wholeheartedly.
It would be better if we had a little more patience and waited for Lu Chen's four children to grow up.
And this is exactly what the new emperor intends.
Is there any option that can bring greater benefits than letting Lu Chen marry the princess and become a family with Lu Xuan? No!
However, the new emperor was not sure what Lu Xuan was thinking. In order to prevent any accidents, he did not reveal his thoughts for the time being. He only gave a few words of encouragement to the people with special abilities and his nobles, asking them to upgrade themselves and become the pillars of the country in the future.
Just a few words cheered up everyone and made their faces flush.
[It was as if I saw my boss who always loves to make empty promises.]
[The emperor's words were binding, and people with special abilities were rare talents in ancient times. They would definitely be given important positions. This wasn't just empty talk.]
[Anything that is not fulfilled immediately is just empty promises in my opinion! ]
I actually think the current lifestyle in the village is pretty good. There's no need to work for the emperor. You've got enough to eat and wear. Isn't it good to be a free person? Why rush to become a social slave? Even high-level social slaves are still social slaves.
It’s no wonder that there are quite a few people in the village who think the same as the audience.
You must continue to upgrade, but whether you want to serve the emperor in the future is another matter.
After meeting the psychics, the new emperor took the initiative to ask the other villagers to leave, leaving only a few special psychics and Lu Xuan, Li Tie and others to accompany him.
Ye Feiluan and other relevant personnel from other towns naturally stayed as well.
The new emperor said to Lu Xuan, "Take me to see your fields."
Lu Xuan, who had just shown Ye Feiluan and his group around the place not long ago, led the way again as if nothing had happened.
The visiting process was exactly the same as before, and the reactions of the new emperor and the dignitaries were no different from those of Chen Bing and others.
If we have to say something, it is probably that the new emperor also developed a great interest in sea fishing after seeing the three-meter-long swordfish.
Live audience: Is the emperor going to become a fisherman too?
Finally, Lu Xuan took everyone to the shopping area to introduce the new products displayed in his shop to the new emperor, including Ye Feiluan and others who were interrupted and unable to continue speaking.
Various mutant animal skins and their processed products brought back from Sorenson Free Star.
When Lu Xuan took out a white leather that was almost as tall as an adult and said it was rabbit leather, and then took out a gray-blue leather that was more than three meters long and said it was wolf leather, everyone was stunned except the people of Yunlu Village who had seen it before.
"How can it be so big!?" Bai Xuefeng exclaimed, looking at the skins of unusual size with a look of astonishment.
"These rabbits and wolves might have become spirits!" Weiyuan Hou widened his eyes with an expression of amazement.
The reactions of the others were similar: shock, doubt, surprise, disbelief...all sorts of expressions kept flashing across their faces.
The new emperor's reaction was not as obvious as others, but the shock he suffered was no less significant.
