The earth is gradually awakening.
A ray of morning light broke the silence of the night.
A group of people arrived at the entrance of Chengxi Village, led by Wang Zhongxian and a pale-faced, beardless, effeminate man.
"Eunuch Yu, when you see the Immortal Master later, I hope you will be polite to him."
Wang Zhongxian looked at his colleagues and couldn't help but offer some advice.
"I know your martial arts are superior to mine, and you're the Grand Steward of the Eastern Depot, but high martial arts skills and status really don't mean much in front of any gentleman."
"Even the celestial princess of Lingnan, who is like a fairy on earth, has to bow her head and speak in front of my brother Li."
After hearing this, Yu Huatian smiled dismissively, his tone somewhat contemptuous.
"Old Wang, you're getting more and more out of touch with reality, still calling yourself 'Nine Thousand Years Old'."
“I’m telling you, I will investigate the people that you, Wang Zhongxian, dare not investigate.”
"A mere sorcerer dares to play tricks, humph."
Yu Huatian was born without believing in superstitious or ghostly things, and that's how he's spent all these years wandering the world.
He's seen it all, no matter how big or small the storm.
He had never heard of any rumors about ghosts or monsters.
He doesn't believe in any gods or immortals in this world.
He'll return to the 100-meter giant, and the sword that can flatten a mountain.
How could such deceptive words possibly fool Yu Huatian?
A few days ago, one of my underlings, a spy named Xiao Heizi, came to report.
They say someone saw that the chickens they raised had become spirits.
It jumped up in the middle of the night, transformed into a person, and swayed its body from side to side.
Later, Yu Huatian was ordered to go and investigate.
Upon arriving at Caijia Village, they discovered that a man named Xu Kun in the village had mental problems.
I thought the chicken was so beautiful that I couldn't resist going over to it in the middle of the night to cuddle with it.
This lasted for two and a half years.
It was only discovered recently.
There are no demons or monsters.
They are all rumors.
This resounding victory must also be a conspiracy.
There's only one truth!
That was the Princess Consort of Lingnan, who secretly murdered Yelü Tuolei and then falsely reported her military achievements.
The claim that 140,000 Liao soldiers were killed is merely a deception to fool the people and trick His Majesty into paying military salaries to Lingnan.
Every few years, Lingnan would have a few victories.
Each time, it was the princess who would secretly kill several Liao generals, then send their heads to the court, falsely claiming a great victory.
Then the imperial court allocated funds to reward the Lingnan army.
This time it's even more outrageous; they've even made up some mythological stories.
This is treating his Imperial Guards like fools, and Yu Huatian, who oversees the entire country, like fools.
So he simply doesn't believe in such things.
Yu Huatian felt that this was a scam.
Previously, I didn't want to expose her because of the princess's status as a celestial being.
But now that he has advanced to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, what is a mere princess?
Feeling the power within himself, Yu Huatian couldn't help but feel inflated.
Now he felt that even if he wasn't the best in the world, he was still invincible.
Seeing his state, Wang Zhongxian didn't bother to persuade him anymore.
As long as the fight breaks out later, I just need to stay far away so I don't end up covered in blood.
The group rode horses into Chengxi Village.
Along the way, all I could see were rows of neat, uniform houses with slogans written on them.
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
The villagers were also in high spirits, and they were all happily building their houses.
The village chief said that these houses are for them to live in after they are built.
This one sentence set them on the edge of their seats.
This is equivalent to using the village chief's money to build your own house.
And it even includes food and lodging—who would dare dream of such a good deal?
So, taking advantage of the village chief's inattention, they built him a shrine to longevity.
If Li Chang'an hadn't stopped them, they would have wanted to sacrifice a pair of boys and girls every year.
Upon seeing Wang Zhongxian and his group, Zhang San hurriedly ran to the village chief's house to report the news.
"Village chief, village chief, someone is coming, wearing official robes."
Li Chang'an was sitting at the gate eating instant noodles, with a row of people sitting next to him.
They are the Lingnan Wang family, as well as little Lin Dongdong and Murong Hongxue.
Everyone received Li Chang'an's sign-in reward for the day: Kang Shuaifu braised beef noodles.
This stuff was a delicacy to these unsophisticated people; it tasted absolutely delicious.
Meng Sanguan came to ask for medicine a few days ago.
Li Chang'an originally didn't want to give it, but the King of Lingnan had given too much.
Especially the box of tiger rifles made it impossible for him to refuse the deal.
Meng Sanguan returned that same day.
Then that night.
The Prince's mansion was filled with the screams of the Crown Prince's wife and the Princess Consort.
Each note was louder than the last.
It's like a competition.
The princess brought her whole family to express their gratitude today.
After all, she hadn't experienced this feeling in almost ten years.
The feeling of fulfillment and peace of mind is very strong.
very nice!
Upon seeing Zhang San come to deliver the message, Li Chang'an nodded, indicating that he understood.
Last night, the princess came to his room and told him that the imperial edict would arrive today.
Therefore, Li Chang'an is already prepared and plans to go to the capital in a few days.
Just as he finished eating his instant noodles, Yu Huatian walked in with his men.
Li Chang'an was about to get up to greet him when he heard a beep in his ear.
"Beep, hidden quest unlocking in progress—Dreaming of Cooling Off Under the Rice Plants."
"In times of chaos, people are displaced and resort to cannibalism. Please save the people from their suffering and lead them toward a better life."
"Rewards include 99+ Flying Fish Suit, 99+ Superior Rice Seeds, and a 'Ten Thousand Mu of Fertile Land' Charm."
