Chapter 96 Kaifeng Weird Things

Bao Zheng didn't come back until the next day. Even though his complexion was dark, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.

Yesterday was so "exciting". Not to mention the emperor, his heart was also in ups and downs. Fortunately, he was in good health, otherwise the imperial physician would have to take the pulse of another person.

Pangji, who was so arrogant when he came, was carried back by others.

When he learned from the emperor that the woman his son had offended was actually the incarnation of the real King of Fengdu, the old but still strong Grand Tutor suddenly choked, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Fortunately, the imperial physician quickly stuffed two pieces of ginseng into his mouth, otherwise the Grand Tutor might have lost his life.

This fright was extraordinary. If it were any other deity, it might seem too far away and not real enough, but - this was the King of Fengdu!

Pang Ji knew exactly what he had done, and he knew his son Pang Yu's character even better. When he bullied others, he said he did not believe in retribution, but in fact he was extremely afraid. He donated so much money to Buddhist and Taoist temples every year just to use these yellow and white things to reduce his sins.

It is said that "Yan Wang is easy to see, but little devils are hard to bother". Every time Pang Ji looked at his magnificent treasure house, the great fear in his heart gradually subsided. He thought that as long as he had enough money, he could naturally make the devil work.

When people die, they become ghosts, but they may take their worldly ways with them into the underworld.

But he had thought that the greatest god he would meet in the underworld was only King Yanluo. Now he suddenly heard that the incarnation of the King of Fengdu had come to the human world and summoned the divine fire of hell to burn the evil spirits that were ravaging Jingzhou. His good son had offended this great god without knowing the consequences, and was burned to the point that he deserved to die, but was still alive...

The emperor was so furious, the empress dowager also rebuked him, and even Bao Zheng... sighed with a sympathetic expression...

It’s true…

It’s true!

Pangji suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

Seeing him like this, the emperor could not reprimand him any further, so he waved his hand and asked the palace maid to send the Grand Tutor back to the palace. At the same time, he issued an edict to strip Pang Yu of his title, demote him to a commoner, and order him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion and deduct his salary for three years.

The most thought-provoking one is to reflect on one's mistakes behind closed doors.

The imperial edict did not specify the time, but those who knew why the government suddenly punished Grand Tutor Pang and his son so severely...

"It depends on what Miss Jia wants."

Bao Zheng took off his official uniform and changed into comfortable casual clothes. Although he stayed in the palace for one night, he did not sleep well that night. He felt dizzy at the moment.

But when he was asked to go to sleep again, he couldn't fall asleep.

How can he sleep with a great god visiting his mansion?

Gongsun Ce offered Bao Zheng hot tea and asked, "What do you think, sir, will Lady Jia do?"

Bao Zheng took the teacup and said with a wry smile: "Sir, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"

Gongsun Ce sighed and smiled, then sat down at the bottom.

Although they had only met a few times, both of them were experienced people, so they could naturally see that this immortal had little interest in worldly affairs. This time he came to Kaifeng Prefecture only because of Zhan's protection.

The government did this to appease the immortal, fearing that this incident would cause the immortal to punish the entire Song Dynasty.

However, how could this immortal take Master Pang and Pang Yu seriously? Once punished, it was punished, and he forgot about them like a speck of grass. Maybe when Master Pang mustered up the courage to come to the immortal to apologize, the immortal would still have to spend some time thinking about who this person was and why he came.

It is incredible to say, in the eyes of the immortals, whether it is the government, Pangji and his son, or the entire Song Dynasty, none of them is as important as Zhan Huwei.

Thinking about what he saw yesterday, Bao Zheng shook his head helplessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

We also have to add Bai Shaoxia.

The way Ms. Jia looked at Mr. Bai yesterday was just like an elder looking at a younger person. Seeing Mr. Bai looking sideways in embarrassment, she took out a magic weapon and gave it to Mr. Bai to pass the time.

However, Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia are both loyal, brave, and hateful young heroes, so it is understandable that they are liked by the immortal.

Forget it, forget it. Mortals should take care of their own affairs. Since the immortal has come to the human world, he must have some important things to do. If mortals like us can't help much, then we should not make the immortal more worried.

Zhao Zhen waited in the palace for two days. He received a confession from Grand Tutor Pang and waited for the fathers of those playboys who were guilty of the same crime as Pang Yu to come to the palace to confess their crimes. However, he did not receive any news from Kaifeng Prefecture.

He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep or eat, but he couldn't send anyone to check on her, let alone leave the palace to visit her.

Both the Empress Dowager and Bao Qing said that immortals do not like to be disturbed. Now that the news of the immortal's coming to the world has not been delivered, if he leaves the palace at this time, there will always be people who will ask more questions. What if the immortal's whereabouts are leaked, wouldn't that make the immortal even more unhappy?

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen could only give up and wait day and night.

On the third day, Bao Zheng entered the palace.

He brought two pieces of news, neither of which was good news for Zhao Zhen.

One is the origin of the two spies who were executed under the divine fire.

These two people bribed the eunuchs, used money to buy off their connections, sneaked into the palace and waited for an opportunity to act. Following this clue, the investigation was terrifying, and it actually led to the Prince of Xiangyang.

Second...

"Mrs. Jia left early in the morning with Guard Zhan and Young Hero Bai. Guard Zhan left a letter behind." Bao Zheng took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch. "The letter said that their destination was Xiangyang."

In the past few days, Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia asked Lady Jia, and after getting Lady Jia's permission, they told Bao Zheng about the great things that this immortal had done in the human world.

The gates of hell are wide open!

Just by hearing these four words, he was able to imagine what a horrific scene that would be. In a trance, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that this immortal had come to the human world and was willing to save it from this catastrophe.

And Xiangyang...

Zhan Huwei wrote in the letter that they should investigate this low-key and loyal Prince Xiangyang, because Lady Jia said that he was not a good person.

…

This was the second time Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang flew in the sky.

But it was better than the first time they flew in the air without any support, this time they were flying on a dragon.

Yes, a dragon. The two finally knew what species this red giant beast was.

Lady Jia said that this was the dragon from hell.

Bai Yutang whispered to Zhan Zhao: "The dragons in hell and the dragons in the human world are completely different."

Zhan Zhao nodded. He thought all dragons looked the same, but it turns out they have to be divided into different places.

The two men sat on the dragon's back, with a layer of light red barrier surrounding them. This was used to block the strong wind from the sky. Otherwise, their mortal bodies would have been knocked off the dragon at this speed.

The Blood Dragon was very dissatisfied. Only those who defeated it could sit on it. Even though these two humans had great fortune and merits, they were still just humans!

Before leaving, the Blood Dragon tried to bargain, saying that it could hold the two humans in its claws and would not let them fall.

The new manicure of the Lord of Hell, Dandan, is in the pattern of the red spider lilies on both sides of the Wangchuan River. It is very beautiful.

Its powerful and noble master ruthlessly rejected its bargaining: "If you can carry it, I will. If not, I will change it to another mount."

This is the only non-removable pendant of the vest card, but she also has summons. The birch banshee can still shrink the ground to a foot, and Sigiriya can transform into a flying demon. Otherwise, she can fly with two people. Mounts are not the only option.

The Blood Dragon froze for a moment, and solemnly stated that he was his master's most obedient child. It was just a matter of carrying two humans on his back. He could do it!

Thus, the proud hell dragon carried the two humans into the air in humiliation, shedding tears of grievance in its heart.

The owner doesn't love it, woo!

The Blood Dragon is indeed the most powerful dragon in hell. Under the premise that it was ordered by its master to slow down and stop from time to time, it only took it one night to travel from Kaifeng to Xiangyang.

Before the morning light broke through the darkness of the sky, a huge dragon landed silently outside the city of Xiangyang. Large trees that were as thick as a man's embrace were broken bit by bit by its terrifying weight, and even the slightly moist ground sank.

Tarona cast an illusion, and when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped off the blood dragon's back, the blood dragon, which had been wronged all the way, shrank back down and landed on her head. She waved her hand casually, and "starlight" with a hint of green in the deep red fell on the devastated land.

But in the blink of an eye, everything returned to its original state, with trees standing in rows, the land flat, and the sound of birds chirping coming from deeper in the distance.

With more experience, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were no longer surprised.

The magic of immortals is naturally extremely magical.

On the way here, Tarona made the blood dragon stop five times. She dug out two pieces of debris from the mountains and forests and picked up three pieces from the bottom of the river.

Zhan Zhao said that the tribute that Prince Xiangyang presented to the government had always been delivered by water.

The first two pieces together are about the size of a mung bean, but the last three pieces together are not even as big as half a sesame seed.

Don't underestimate the small size of the fragments. They are very heavy. Unless they are held by a living being, once they fall to the ground or into the water, they will drill into the ground faster than even a drill. A million-ton weight cannot sink faster than them.

If it was thrown into the water by someone...

This idea was rejected by Tarona before it was even formed.

The abnormal power is something that ordinary humans cannot resist, except for people like Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who have great luck, merits, and extraordinary will. Without any of these conditions, when the other party sees the fragments with their naked eyes, that person is doomed to never let go of the fragments.

Such a powerful force can fulfill countless dreams and achieve all wishes.

The person who created the [Key of Morning Star] is the first of the seven deadly sins. Its power of temptation can cause angels to fall. How could the Lord of Hell, who is intent on making trouble, forget to give this ability to his creation?

So it couldn't have been man-made; these fragments, so small that they had to be found with a magnifying glass and a microscope, fell into the river purely by accident.

Tarona asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang what they thought about this King of Xiangyang.

Although Zhan Zhao was a government official, he knew very little about Prince Xiangyang. All he knew came from Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun.

His impression was that he was a low-key king who was loyal to the government, and this vague impression ended when Lady Jia told him bluntly that Prince Xiangyang was not a good person.

Bai Yutang obviously knew much more than Zhan Zhao, and his face looked very grim, just like he looked grim every time he saw Pang Yu.

"Compared to this King Xiangyang, the little crab's tricks are really not worth mentioning."

Master Bai Wu sneered: "He is pretending to be very good. I am afraid that in a few years, this prince will usurp his nephew's throne."

Zhan Zhao was shocked: "Usurping the throne?"

You can't just say this.

Bai Yutang glanced at him and said, "My young master is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you will find out after you go to Xiangyang and investigate."

However, how to check it still requires long-term consideration.

Although they were not world-famous, they were well-known enough that it was hard to say that they would not be recognized by the spies of King Xiangyang who were spread throughout the city.

In order to conduct a secret investigation perfectly...the two of them looked at Lady Jia who was looking at them with her hands folded.

Tarona pointed his finger at his lips, his deep red eyes turned, revealing a bit of mischief: "I have a way, I guarantee that even your loved ones and relatives will not recognize you."
