God Pet Has Opened Up For Me Again
Chapter 369 Capital Moat
"Has Your Highness considered this candidate for the opposite role?"
The fifth prince waved his hand: "This matter is simple, just choose one of my younger brothers and sisters."
"It's inappropriate." Sun Changming said: "It is best to be a foreign minister, not a member of the royal family, or someone of the same generation as His Highness."
The fifth prince was startled for a moment, then put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "What you said makes sense."
When princes and princesses of the same generation act against each other, they may be misunderstood as "stealing the heir".
"I have a candidate to recommend, Your Highness can consider it."
"who?"
"Chaotian Si Bei Prison Town Fu Si, Mr. Liang Yuzhi."
Sun Changming kept in mind that there was a sword hanging above his head. Liang Yu pointed out that if he knew that the business between him and the fifth prince amounted to tens of millions of spiritual jade, and all of it went into his own pocket, he did not want to share it with those Xiuzi from a poor family will definitely come to settle accounts with him.
If the candidate for the opposite role is given to Liang Yuzhi, it will be considered as compensation for her.
Moreover, the matter between Liang Yuzhi and Liu Zhi has really come to an end. I have added a large dowry to Mr. Liang. In the end, the one who enjoys the blessing is not Liu Zhi, the weakling?
What do you mean by a loyal subordinate? This is a loyal man!
The fifth prince thought about it for a moment and said with emotion: "It's really appropriate. Mr. Liang is obviously a foreign minister, but in fact he is from the Queen Mother. I can speak in front of the Queen Mother." He chuckled and laughed at himself: "Old ladies like fat grandsons."
Sun Changming raised his wine glass: "Your Highness, if you think it's appropriate, I'll go and talk to Mr. Liang Yuzhi."
"good."
The fifth prince had a perverse temperament, and he wanted to "pinch" Sun Changming as soon as they met. As a result, he was brutally pinched, and not only lost a lot of money, but he also inexplicably got at odds with Sun Changming. Sun Changming gave him another idea to solve the hidden dangers of the Spiritual Insect Competition. The two of them drank in the pavilion and waterside pavilion until dusk. The fifth prince was sent back by the sixth realm with spiritual energy.
Sun Changming patted the storage bag filled with spiritual jade and went back with satisfaction.
The topic of the third level assessment has never been decided - Sun Changming always suspected that it was because Ji Su lost a big deal, was extremely depressed, and was completely uninterested in official matters!
This guess made Mr. Sun feel very happy.
He even took his sister in a car and passed by the gate of Ode Academy again. Sure enough, there was no more scolding owner of the academy, so he passed by laughing.
Taking advantage of this time, Sun Changming told Liang Yuzhi about the Spiritual Insect Competition. After hearing the plan, Liang Yuzhi looked at Sun Changming warily: "You kid has too many thoughts! I must be careful when cooperating with you in the future. You're trying to trick me!"
Why does Sun Changming feel guilty?
After more than ten days of procrastination, the questions for the third level assessment were finally decided, but at the same time, a new news spread: the third level is not the final assessment of the Dragon and Snake Ranking, the third level will select the best candidates. The fifty outstanding geniuses are handed over to His Majesty's Holy Judgment.
As for how His Majesty will judge, there is currently no explanation, and no one dares to make random guesses.
Sun Changming was so disgusted when he heard the news. Others couldn't understand and were still singing praises, thinking that the genius of this year's Dragon and Snake Ranking might become the "disciple of the emperor". But in fact, Sun Changming knew that the emperor thought that Ji Su was useless and was going to end it himself.
Presumably after the third level, Ji Su will still come forward: Do you want to be on the top list? Do you want to go one step further and reach the top of the list? It depends on which of you pays more.
This news made Lord Sun feel extremely bad. During the time he came to the capital, he saw more and more that this regime was seriously ill, with a sense of absurdity and decadence from top to bottom! He has inevitably integrated into this world, so it is inevitable to feel a sense of depression in his chest.
"Brother!" The stupid girl jumped in and almost stumbled on the threshold. The look made Sun Changming laugh all of a sudden. Sun Changyan kicked the threshold angrily, then quickly showed a smile and pulled her eldest brother's hand. Sleeve: "Let's go out and play!"
Sun Changming knew it well: "Why don't we go straight to the point? You tell me what you want to eat, and we can save the time on the road."
The silly girl nodded repeatedly, and the elder brother made sense: "I heard that there is the famous 'Fourteen Flavors' on the riverside avenue outside the city. We have eaten in the city before, so let's go out and try it today."
Sun Changming also wanted to go out and relax, so he took his sister's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Yanhe Avenue is a street outside the west city wall of the capital and beside the moat. It surrounds the city along the moat, which is more than ten miles long. On one side of the moat, there are a large number of low-rise houses on the other side.
The capital gathered people from all over the world in the Wu Dynasty, and most of the people who came to the capital to seek life were poor. These people could not afford to buy houses in the capital. At first, they gathered to live in shacks under the city walls, and then slowly A large bustling area formed outside the city.
Compared with the city, the houses in these residential areas are low-rise and densely built. The lanes inside are narrow and the terrain is complex, and the people living there are also a mixed bag.
The famous "Fourteen Flavors" on Yanhe Avenue are actually fourteen kinds of particularly famous snacks. People from all over the world gather here, and the flavors from all over the world are integrated. A group of delicacies with both local and capital characteristics gradually emerged.
Hanmei is actually more fond of such street snacks. On the contrary, she has never asked to eat at those famous restaurants in the capital city. Even though her eldest brother is now in a high position, the consumption in these restaurants is completely affordable for him. .
Their tool for traveling in the capital was Wu Yuanji's machine-drawn carriage. The wheels protruded from the bottom of the carriage and drove smoothly, quickly and flexibly. There are many such carriages on the streets of the capital, and most of them are more elegant and luxurious than Wu Yuanji's.
It's just that in the eyes of a mechanism master like Sun Changming, the mechanism carriages of those powerful families tend to be superficial and exaggerated, and their performance is much worse than Wu Yuanji's.
Sun Changming even encountered a few carriages with the Jiuyun Sect's logo on the road. Each one was very luxurious. Master Sun secretly laughed, thinking that the Jiuyun Sect was taking advantage of them.
The capital was very prosperous, with pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder, and the horse-drawn carriages were not moving very fast. When they were about to leave the city, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and almost hit their carriage. The figure was also startled and fell in front of the carriage like a frightened deer. It turned out to be a man about the same age as Sun Changyan. little girl.
It's just that compared to Han Mei's current appearance of obvious overnutrition, this girl is thin and small, with a pretty face and a huge look of fear on her face.
Several strong men from behind shouted and chased after him: "Catch the thief!"
"Don't let her run away, dare to steal your master Peng's things, and break the legs of your little girl!"
The girl hurriedly got up and was about to run away, but she was already surrounded by those people.
The girl was about to cry and shouted stubbornly: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't steal anything!"
Several strong men came forward with ferocious smiles: "It doesn't matter whether she steals it or not. Arrest her and bring her to the official!"
"I won't go, you are not good people." The girl shrank back, but her back bumped into another strong man. The strong man laughed, stretched out his big hands and grabbed the girl's collar like a hawk catching a chicken.
"Let me go! You bad guys!" The girl struggled, punched and kicked, like a thin female animal, but how could she break free?
When the surrounding shops saw it, they all looked on with cold eyes. Some kind-hearted ones did not dare to cause trouble, but just shook their heads secretly.
The little girl suddenly bit the strong man's wrist, but those strong men had been doing these things all year round and had expected it. The other hand gently held the girl's chin, and then laughed.
On the machine carriage, the silly girl gently grabbed her eldest brother's clothes: "Brother, please save her."
Sun Changming glanced at his sister and asked, "Why? She stole someone else's things. It's right for them to arrest her and go to the official."
But Hanmei said: "She didn't steal, she is a good person. Those people are the bad guys, they definitely didn't take her to see the official."
Sun Changming smiled and asked, "How did you know?"
Sun Changyan opened her mouth but couldn't give a reason, but she just shook her head stubbornly: "I just know."
Sun Changming's heart moved slightly, but he asked again: "This is the capital, and there are dignitaries everywhere. Behind these evil slaves, there may be a high-ranking official of the yamen, or a prince of the royal family. If we meddle in other people's affairs, we may attract unscrupulous people." Necessary trouble.”
The silly girl hesitated for a while, and finally lowered her head pitifully: "Then... let's forget about it, I don't want to cause trouble to my eldest brother."
Sun Changming smiled, rubbed Hanmei's head vigorously, messing up her buns, and then stood up and got out of the carriage.
A few strong men grabbed the girl and were about to leave, but suddenly they felt a terrifying force coming, and she was sent flying with a pop, falling to the ground.
The one holding the girl felt a sharp pain in his arm. He was horrified to see that his arm was bent at an abnormal angle, and the girl he was holding had been picked up.
"Ah--" He screamed, and then received another blow on his face. Half of his face was swollen, and all his teeth were broken.
Sun Changming could tell at a glance that these thieves who specialize in human trafficking in the market were just teasing his sister.
But the silly girl was able to determine that the girl was innocent. These strong men were evil people, which made him find it very interesting.
"Who dares to interfere with our Tianxiao Gang's affairs? Don't you want to live?" A group of strong men did not dare to step forward, but they looked threatening with ferocious expressions.
Sun Changming first put the little girl on his machine carriage, then turned around and showed his token: "I am commanding Simeng Jiang toward the sky. Who is behind you? If you have the ability, ask him to come to me!"
Whenever gangs in such markets engage in human trafficking, they must be guilty of heinous crimes. Now that Sun Changming is in charge, he will definitely not just save this girl. He will deliberately reveal his identity directly to eliminate this gang!
Several strong men helped each other escape, with a sarcastic look on their faces: "A small official from out of town really doesn't know how deep the water in the capital is. Just wait, you are dead! Your whole family is dead!"
Sun Changming's face turned cold, and he grabbed it in the air. There was a constant clicking sound, and the bones of several strong men's legs were crushed! They screamed like pigs, but they didn't dare to say anything more. They helped each other and quickly got into the alley next to them.
On the street, some shopkeepers who knew the background of the Tianxiao Gang shook their heads slightly and sighed. There are not many good officials willing to help the people these days, and there will be one less one after today.
Sun Changming ignored the comments of the people around him and returned to the carriage, only to find that the little girl was helplessly explaining to the silly girl: "You saved me, I won't steal your preserved fruit snacks, you really don't have to do this Protect..."
The silly girl was still extremely vigilant, holding a plate of assorted preserved fruits and a box of frosted sugar pastry snacks on the small table of the carriage.
Sun Changming shook his head speechlessly, you asked me to save this person, you said she was a good person, but when she came up, you guarded her like this.
Sun Changming shouted: "Girl, where do you live, we will take you back."
The little girl blinked and was about to answer, when suddenly there were calls from outside: "Little sister--" The voice was very distant at first, as if it was still at the other end of the long street, but at the end it reached the outside of the carriage.
"You are lucky. Someone saved your sister. Otherwise, she would have been captured by the Tianxiao Gang and fell into the hands of that kind of scum. What good outcome would there have been?"
"Regardless of your cultivation, the Tianxiao Gang is also well-established. They have ways to avoid the monks' search..." The person next to him pointed at the carriage and talked to the person coming.
Sun Changming opened the car window and asked doubtfully: "Is this your sister?"
When the car door opened, the girl threw herself into Meng Hebei's arms, hugged her tightly and cried: "Brother, I almost never see you again..."
Meng Hebei was also stunned: "You saved my sister?"
"It's just a coincidence." Sun Changming waved his hand. Knowing that Meng Hebei rejected Zhang Chunfa's solicitation and he happened to save his sister, he was afraid he would think too much: "Take her back quickly, I have to take one step in advance."
He lowered the window and said, "Let's go." Wu Yuanji's disciples urged the carriage to move forward.
Meng Yaya raised her head in her eldest brother's arms and looked at him with some confusion. The carriage was far away, and a waiter in a shop next to him couldn't help it, and said scornfully: "I offended the Tianxiao Gang in order to save your sister. It is very likely that my official position is not guaranteed. In the end, I didn't even say thank you. The people of this world..."
The shopkeeper slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you talking about? Go to work quickly! I don't want your dog's life, he is also a monk!"
Meng Hebei lowered his head and took his sister back. He was indeed a little suspicious. Could it be that Mr. Sun was deliberately trying to express gratitude to himself and then recruit him?
In the carriage, Sun Changming found that Han Mei seemed a little unhappy: "What's wrong?"
Sun Changyan shook her head and said nothing. She had almost no playmates of the same age. Today she finally saw one, but she just protected her food out of habit, and she left without hesitation.
Sun Changyan felt that she might have missed the first "friend" in her life, and blamed herself for it.
Sun Changming didn't say much, because as soon as he walked out of the city gate and smelled the aroma of "Fourteen Flavors", the little girl would immediately become happy. Sure enough, after the carriage entered the road along the river, Sun Changyan sat up straight. The elder brother even had the illusion that the girl's ears also stood up.
"Hahaha!" Sun Changming laughed.
He took his sister's hand and got out of the carriage. Wu Yuanji's apprentices quickly stopped the carriage on the side of the road, and then followed them in a hurry, wanting to accompany the young lady.
"Miss, you can buy whatever you like, and I'll pay for it." One person took out his vast storage bag.
"Miss, if you buy it, give it to me and I'll carry it for you." One person showed off his strong biceps.
"Miss, please tell me when you are tired from shopping, and I will carry you." Another person walked steadily and patted his broad back with his backhand.
As Sun Changming walked, the avenue along the river was bustling with people, including hawkers, jugglers, storytellers, opera singers, and bargainers... all kinds of sounds and breaths gathered together, reflecting the vivid world. Sun Changming seemed to have entered the world of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". For a moment, his heart broadened, and the previous depression gradually dissipated.
"Fourteen Flavors" are just the fourteen most famous snacks on Yanhe Avenue. In addition to these, there are many kinds. Sun Changyan watched and ate all the way, her two big eyes bent into thin crescents with satisfaction.
The sound of rushing water came from one side of the avenue. Sun Changming turned his head and looked over, pretending not to see the man coming towards him. However, after ten thousand dollars, he still came forward with a playful smile and took the initiative to explain to Master Sun: "The moat of the capital is ten feet wide and twenty feet deep. There are sixteen water gates in the four directions of east, west, north and south. The huge spiritual formation drives the flow, day and night. Stop and roll.
There are various mechanisms at the bottom of the river. Once opened, there is no way out if you fall into them. There are six more water spirit formations set up relying on the power of the river. If the capital is attacked, these six formations can be activated to attack or defend, which can almost prevent the capital from encountering any fire attacks.
There is a huge beast cage under the river, which houses many domesticated monsters. They are led by the twelve most powerful two-headed eels. They are restrained on weekdays. In case of war, these monsters are released and cooperate with the spiritual formation. A moat is an insurmountable line of defense.
On weekdays, twelve double-headed eels each take turns, leading thirty-six aquatic monsters to patrol the river. Under the control of the double-headed eels, these monsters will not harass passers-by. "
Wanqianlai noticed something strange in Mr. Sun's eyes. He turned around and found to his embarrassment that there was a fisherman on a row of stone piers by the river.
And judging from the smooth surface of the stone pier, these fishermen must come here often.
Sun Changming asked: "I think they are just ordinary people. Do you think they are fishing for double-headed eels, or are they fishing for ordinary monsters?"
Wan Qianlai sneered: "Hey, sir, you should know better than me. There are some rules in the court, but no one has been paying attention to them for a long time."
Sun Changming shook his head and stopped talking about it, and asked, "Why did you come to me?"
They were tricked under the Xuanyou Cave. Mr. Sun felt a little guilty. He thought it was a chance encounter and pretended not to miss it, but in the end he even came up with thousands of dollars.
"I went to your residence to pay a visit. I wanted to thank you for the third-order spiritual insect. The servants said that your Excellency was coming to the riverside avenue, so I rushed over. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."
"Thank you?"
Wan Qianlai said: "Of course I have to thank you. If it hadn't been for your noble hand, I wouldn't have been able to enter the third level."
He never mentioned that Sun Changming had snatched their spiritual insects, which made Master Sun confused as to what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"I have prepared some gifts for you and the lady to show your love." Wan Qianlai looked around and pointed ahead: "It's too noisy here. Let's go to that restaurant to talk and ask for your respect."
Hearing that he was going to give a gift, Sun Changming happily went to the banquet.
It cost ten thousand dollars to buy all the restaurant's signature dishes, but the restaurants here are not high-end, and it doesn't cost much in total. Wan Qian Lai warmly persuaded Sun Changming to drink, but Sun Changming refused to drink. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Wan Qian Lai took out a storage bag and handed it over with both hands: "The price of a third-level spiritual worm in the capital is twelve thousand Spirit jade, but the one you gave me will ensure that I can enter the third level of the assessment and not go back in despair, but its value cannot be measured by spirit jade.
There is a bottle of fifth-level elixir and four fifth-level treasure materials here, which are given to you.
There are also 1,500 kilograms of high-grade monster meat, frozen in ice cubes, for the young lady. "
Sun Changming did not answer. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, young master, just say it directly."
Wanqianlai raised his thumbs: "My lord, please be frank. Actually, it's nothing. Firstly, it's just a little thought, and secondly... please take care of me in the third level."
"Take care of me?" Sun Changming suddenly realized: "You want me to be merciful?"
Wan Qian Lai Xin said, "Do you still know?" If you are still as domineering as you were in Xuanyou Cave in the third level, how can I play?
"Hehe." He just smiled without denying it, and then added a price tag: "I heard that your Excellency is in charge of the Mengjiang Defense Line, and we Wan Lisheng are also willing to contribute to the peace and prosperity of the country in the Wu Dynasty. I told my family that I am ready. Donate one million spiritual jade to Meng Jiang Dusi.
And if adults are willing, we Wan Lisheng can fully cooperate with Meng Jiang Dusi. "
What Sun Changming is really interested in is the comprehensive cooperation between the two parties. He reached out and took out the storage bag: "I'm not targeting everyone. You should also understand what happened in Xuanyou Cave. I'm dealing with Ji Su.
Forget it, if you really encounter someone in the third level of assessment, I will let you go. "
"Thank you, sir!" Wan Qian Lai smiled happily and said, "Um...actually, Xiaosheng has one more unkind request. Can you please let Shui Linghua go?"
