The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Gao Yuelou.

At the beginning of this banquet, the atmosphere was quite warm, everyone was harmonious, laughing and talking.

But at this time, when King Chen's words turned to Yinliang, the nature of this banquet was completely changed.

After that, the atmosphere of the banquet became slightly different.

This is especially true for Zhuang Ming.

All kinds of complex gazes were cast towards him, some were sympathetic, some were mocking, some were gloating, and some were calm as usual.

As for Zhuang Ming here, although it is not like sitting on pins and needles, he is also quite uncomfortable.

He looked at the delicacies in front of him, and took a bite, but he found it tasteless.

It's just that last time, on the building boat, he left the table early, but this time, with the prince here, he couldn't leave the table early.

The etiquette, customs, rules and order of the Dongsheng Dynasty have always been very particular.

When the elders are present, the juniors have to accompany them.

After the elders leave, the younger generation can leave.

And in this banquet, in terms of status, Chen Wang is the highest, and in terms of age, Lin Lao is the highest... Except for these two, the rest, including Zhuang Ming, if they leave the banquet early, it will be a big deal Respectful act, disrespectful person.

——

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Amid the sound of singing, dancing and music, the banquet just ended.

Mr. Lin said he was too drunk, took another bite of vegetarian bear's paw, and left.

During this period, Zhuang Ming only drank three cups with him, all of which were resolved with true energy.

He originally thought that King Chen would continue to make trouble, for example, embarrassing him in terms of alcohol consumption.

But Chen Wang also seemed to feel that if he cheated Zhuang Ming with 200,000 taels and let everyone know that Zhuang Ming was still disliked by the prince, he had achieved his goal, so he didn't attack again.

After drinking, the atmosphere in the arena became warm again, and that strange feeling seemed to dissipate.

There was a lot of toasting and laughter.

Until the end of the performance, among the crowd, there was still some hesitation and reluctance, and some people made an appointment with each other again, and they would drink a thousand cups next time, and they would never return if they were not drunk.

Zhuang Ming didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, during the drinking period, not many people came to greet him.

When he first entered Gaoyue Tower before, many people came to greet him politely. Some even expressed their apologies for their wait-and-see or even vaguely added insult to injury when the government seized Zhuang's business last time.

But now that they left Gaoyuelou, everyone knew that King Chen was still not kind to him, so not many people dared to take the risk of offending King Chen to curry favor with Mr. Thirteen, who would fall down at some point.

Qian Yang walked ahead, Yin Ming pushed Zhuang Ming, followed by the maid Shuang Ling, and left Gaoyue Tower.

Many eyes looked here, but then retracted.

No one seemed to notice that Mr. Shisan of Zhuang's firm had left Gaoyuelou.

——

Zhuang Ming looked back, smiled and shook his head, laughing at himself.

Human feelings are warm and cold, but in the blink of an eye.

When I entered Gaoyuelou, they thought that I and Chen Wang had turned the fight into a treasure, so they wanted to cooperate again in business, and they were quite enthusiastic about me.

I came out of Gaoyuelou, and everyone knows that King Chen and I are still at odds. To avoid being hated by King Chen and causing damage to your own family, treat me like nothing.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit.

He patted the hem of his clothes and said with a smile, Go back.

Shuang Ling hesitated slightly, with a bit of worry in his eyes, and said: Master...

At the banquet tonight, King Chen forced the young master, which not only embarrassed the young master, but also lost a huge amount of 200,000 taels.

In these years, the young master has done everything possible, and has never suffered such a loss.

Now that he has suffered such a big loss, and in addition, in Gaoyue Tower, everyone who was enthusiastic before all avoided them in fear.

She was quite worried in her heart, vaguely afraid that the young master would be depressed because of this.

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: Do you think I will lose heart because King Chen is better than me today? Or do you think these mediocre eyes can make me feel depressed? Don't underestimate your son, if my mentality is so It is easy to collapse, but it is difficult to become a great weapon, how can I achieve today's achievements? How can I create my future achievements?

Upon hearing this, Shuang Ling smiled, nodded fiercely, and hummed.

That's right, what kind of person is the young master?

How much wind and rain have you seen?

Starting from nothing, starting from scratch, today's Zhuang's firm has been built.

So what if Wang Chen wins?

The son will get it back sooner or later!

So what if these people alienate the young master?

In the eyes of the young master, they are just mediocre.

gone.

Zhuang Ming said so.

But before he finished speaking, he frowned.

Yin Ming stopped.

Qian Yang turned around and faced that side.

Shuang Ling didn't know why, but Zhuang Ming grabbed her delicate hand.

It's okay.

Zhuang Ming laughed.

Shuang Ling only felt that the young master's palm was softer than her own, but it was also very warm. She was slightly happy in her heart, and a little rosy color appeared on her face.

Zhuang Ming looked at the person in the dark.

I saw the man walking out slowly, dressed in black, with a straight figure, and said calmly: Your Majesty Chen, I have seen Mr. Thirteen.

Zhuang Ming said plainly: Are you here to get 200,000 taels? Zhuang's firm is huge, but such a huge amount of money cannot be raised in a day or two. You have to wait for a period of time before handing it over to the government. ...

The man in black chuckled, his eyes swept over Qian Yang and Yin Ming, a little apprehensive, but finally fell on Zhuang Ming.

Mr. Thirteen, please don't get me wrong. The prince has always been considerate. Didn't I let you stop the impulse in your heart today? I told you not to invest all your money for the kindness in your heart and to save the victims. It shows that the prince's heart is like a mirror.

Hehe. Zhuang Ming laughed, and said: You are an interesting person. When you speak with your eyes open, you look like a blind man. It really makes people want to slash you with a knife.

Mr. Shisan, don't be impulsive. The villain is under the prince's command. You have already made the prince extremely angry by killing a group. Killing another one will definitely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. The man in black smiled and shook his head. : My lord is not such a calm person, otherwise he wouldn't have made trouble today. If you really killed me, he would be desperate to level up your Zhuang's firm first. As for the consequences, we will have to talk about it later. ...

Stop talking nonsense, let's just say it, what are you here to say on behalf of King Chen?

Zhuang Ming said flatly: I'm too lazy to be angry with you. King Chen's weight is naturally high. His dogs are not qualified to bark in front of me, Zhuang Ming.

The black-clothed man's complexion was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: You think of yourself very highly.

Zhuang Ming said slowly: I never underestimate myself.

In fact, according to common sense, no matter how domineering the other party is, he will not offend him too much.

After all, this person is under the command of King Chen, so the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister should also be given some respect.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to mess with, and little ghosts are hard to deal with. Not to mention private merchants, even many officials in the court may put down their dignity and make amends when they see this person.

But now, Zhuang Ming and Chen Wang have almost torn their faces, how could they care about a warrior under Chen Wang's command?

The prince means that two hundred thousand taels is not too little.

The man in black said slowly: The so-called big tree attracts wind, if this silver tael goes out through your Zhuang's firm, you know what kind of turmoil or even disaster it will cause...

Zhuang Ming calmly said: Then what does the prince mean?

The man in black said: What the lord means is that he secretly donated 70% for you, and the remaining 30% will be donated in the name of Zhuang's business, so as to prevent your Zhuang's business from being the first bird and causing unnecessary disasters. , the prince is thinking of you.

Zhuang Ming sneered and said: Isn't it that he wants to eat the 70% of the silver taels? I just gave it...

The man in black said leisurely: You promised the lord that from now on, all the benefits of the Zhuang's business will be divided equally... This 70% of the silver taels is only more than a hundred thousand taels, far less than half of it.

Zhuang Ming took a deep look at him, and then slowly said: The words have been brought, get out...

The man in black was about to speak with a mocking look on his face.

bang!

Qian Yang looked indifferent, and slowly raised his feet.

And under his feet, the stone strips paving the street had already burst into countless cracks.

roll!

What a Mr. Thirteen, I really don't take the prince seriously.

The man in black suddenly flicked his sleeves, retreated suddenly, and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhuang Ming's eyes were cold.

Yin Ming moved suddenly and waved his hand.

The stones on the ground were suddenly lifted by his strong wind, and shot into the darkness like sharp arrows.

Puff!

Suddenly there was a scream.

Zhuang Ming! How dare you!

Break your arm, and use it as a lesson.

Zhuang Ming said indifferently: Chen Wang only dares to let me lose money, he dare not kill me in trouble, and he will not turn against me because of your dog leg.

There was a roar in the dark.

Zhuang Ming slightly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Shuang Ling hesitated and said, Master?

She felt uneasy.

This is the first time that the young master has shown such an expression in front of her.

When this person goes back, he will add oil and vinegar. Anyway, I will cut off his arm to vent my unhappiness. On the contrary, King Chen will feel that this person's arrogant and domineering offended me, and his words may not be credible. But, the matter has come to an end , Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, King Chen will kill me, and I will touch him.

Zhuang Ming opened his eyes, looked up at the moon in the sky, put his hand into his sleeve, stroked the young dragon, and said in a low tone, My strength is not enough to overwhelm the world, and tricks are just tricks after all, even if If you try to study people's hearts and formulate plans, you will still be unable to defeat the king's power and force to break the law.

He sighed with regret, sighed with emotion, and immediately said in a low voice: The matter must be speeded up. Before raising 200,000 taels, we must kill King Chen.

He raised his head and looked to the west side again.

He has obtained all kinds of things and treasures of the Dongsheng Dynasty, all kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures, which can be obtained.

But it is not enough.

After killing King Chen and stabilizing the foundation, we have to deal with overseas, Fu Lao and Yue Ting's affairs as soon as possible.

——

In Gaoyue Building.

corner place.

The scholar looked up at the stars.

Immediately lowered his head and looked at the bronze mirror in his arms.

Strange thing, King Chen is at the height of his power, and he looks like a catastrophe covering his head.

Especially just now, he forced Mr. Thirteen to donate 200,000 taels. In an instant, his fortune plummeted, and the distance between the disaster star and his fate star was actually shortened by half.

Could it be that the king of Chen forced donations and was secretly greedy for ink, and the incident will happen and be destroyed by the court?

But it's not right...

The scholar frowned, and suddenly thought of the young man with disabled legs, showing surprise.

And at this moment, a voice came from the bronze mirror.

This Mr. Thirteen, his fortune is obviously suppressed, but his bearing is still more noble than that of King Chen, and he has a general trend, which is unpredictable and conceals his fate. His attainments are as profound as this seat, and he can't see through it. he.

What does the teacher mean by this?

The calamity of King Chen must have originated from this person.

He is just a businessman in the world.

He is not simple, not only because I can't see through his fate, but also because, from the beginning to the end, he didn't have the slightest fear of facing the king of a different surname who is in charge of the power in Huai'an.

Oh? The scholar thought vaguely of something and pondered for a while.

He launched a murderous plan, and Chen Wang's fortune plummeted. According to my prediction, within three days, Chen Wang is afraid that he will be wiped out.

Didn't you say that Jushenshan blessed land killed all the practitioners in this world? How come there are still practitioners?

Why do you care so much? Anyway, don't pay any attention to it, you can cultivate your true energy as soon as possible, leave the Dongsheng Dynasty, and leave this blessed place of gathering holy mountains.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Hurry? Do you know how I died?

How did you die?

He died just because he walked too slowly.

...
