Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty
Chapter 413 Opportunity (Update 1)
"There are too many people." The six of them were a little anxious when they saw this situation.
There are too many people, and I'm afraid there won't be any room, so we have to rush forward.
But seeing so many people around, I was worried that no matter how hard I rushed, it might be too late, so everyone rushed forward.
As they walked forward, their hearts grew colder and colder.
The crowd gradually became denser.
The bright sunshine shone on my body, instead of the usual warmth, it seemed to be a bit scorching, and I couldn't help but feel restless.
"well!"
"I blame Lao Ma. He told me to come earlier, but he said he was not in a hurry. There is no point in arriving early."
"It's really useless if you arrive early." A middle-aged man with a long face said: "You have to wait if you arrive too late. Anyway, Master Fa Kong starts at noon."
"If you arrive early, there will be a place; if you arrive late, there will be no place!"
"You can always find a place." The long-faced middle-aged man said with a smile, "I have an idea."
"Um?"
"Old Ma, you still have the nerve to show off!"
"Okay, okay, I said so." Lao Ma said with a smile: "We don't actually have to squeeze in with them. There are several mountains around Nantian Peak. If you want to see Nantian Peak, in fact, you can't go to the nearby mountains. It’s even clearer, but you can’t see clearly when you go to Nantian Peak!”
"Well..., that makes sense."
"Let's go, follow me!" Lao Ma said with a proud smile.
They turned aside and headed to Camel's Peak south of Nantian Peak.
They concluded that Camel Peak has a clearer view. Whether it is on the eastern peak or the western peak, sunlight will affect the view. Camel Peak in the south is the most open and clear.
The six people speeded up and when they arrived at the foot of Camelback Mountain, they found a group of armored soldiers surrounding Camelback Mountain.
As they approached, four armored soldiers came towards them and waved their hands.
They stopped.
A middle-aged man lowered his voice: "He's from the Infantry Yamen. Is there some big shot here?"
"We think it's great here, and so do the big shots, who want to work with us."
"Hey, it's true." Lao Ma shook his head and said angrily: "But this mountain doesn't belong to them. They can come up, why can't we?!"
"Old Ma, forget it, let's move to another place."
"That's right, don't cause trouble."
"I'm just not convinced." Lao Ma said angrily.
The six of them are all rich people. They don't have enough wealth to dare to eat in Guanyun Tower.
Among the six, one ran a cloth shop, two ran a rice shop, one ran a rouge shop, two ran a garment shop, and one ran a horse and carriage shop.
Although they are not top-notch stores, they are not the smallest either, so you don't have to worry about spending money.
But if you want to climb up, it is impossible to expand the stall. It will affect the interests of big businesses and the risk is too high.
Behind those wealthy businessmen are financial backers, high-ranking officials, or noble people who cannot be offended.
If they want to expand their scale, they have to climb these golden branches, but unfortunately there is no way, and people with high standards don't look down on them.
All they can do is run their stall well.
If you fail to achieve it, then you will give up and your heart will no longer be ready to move.
So it is contentment and happiness.
The six of them got together, thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun. Sometimes they could help each other in business, and their relationship became closer and closer.
"Old Ma, how old are we? Don't have this quarrel. Let's go and find another place."
"Yes, besides Camelback, there are other peaks. Let's change to another one."
"What if there are big shots in other places?" Lao Ma said with a gloomy long face, "Are we still going to change places?"
"Old Ma, what evil have you committed?" Someone next to him cursed in a low voice: "Don't be a fool, and leave quickly."
"If you keep talking nonsense, you will anger the big shot, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
The four armored soldiers stared coldly at this side, their eyes similar to the cold light reflected by their armor, which made their hearts tighten.
These soldiers won't reason with you.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
"I just want to see who the big shot is!" Lao Ma snorted angrily.
Someone asked in a low voice: "What kind of stimulation has Lao Ma received?"
"A batch of goods has been swallowed. I can't swallow this breath."
"Who did it?"
"De Fang Tang."
"De Fang Tang, don't mess with me!"
"Do you know the heel?"
"From Prince Duan's Mansion."
"No wonder!"
They looked at Lao Ma sympathetically and pulled him out to avoid getting into trouble.
Prince Duan is now the Sizheng of the Southern Supervision Department, and he is very proud of himself. He is more powerful than Prince Xin back then.
At this time, it is understandable that the people under his residence are arrogant and arrogant. If they are proud, they will be arrogant. It would be the same if it were him.
The old horse was pulled forward by them, dragging his feet on the ground and not wanting to move.
The other five people looked at each other, shook their heads, and simply lifted him up.
Two people lifted his arms, two lifted his feet, and one held his butt to lift him away so he wouldn't get into trouble.
"Wait!" an armored soldier suddenly shouted.
The five people suddenly froze, secretly shouting that something was wrong, and turned to glare at Lao Ma, whose expression changed slightly.
Lao Ma's face froze, and he suddenly felt regret.
All the previous anger and injustice turned into annoyance. I was so hot-headed that I did such a stupid thing!
If he really implicates them, his sin will be even greater.
He quickly turned over and struggled out, clasping his fists and saying, "These military masters, it's none of their business, it's all mine."
The other five people were moved when they saw him like this.
But although they were moved, they were still uneasy and cursed inwardly, wondering if they could get away this time.
"Her Highness Princess Fifteen has ordered you to go up."
"Her Highness Princess?" The six people were stunned, turned their heads and looked at each other, confused and surprised.
They thought there was an important person up there, but they never thought it would be Her Highness Princess, especially Her Highness Fifteen Princess.
"Hurry up and go up!" An armored soldier looked at them in a daze, ignorant, and snorted impatiently: "Don't worry, I'm not punishing you. His Highness is kind and won't punish people indiscriminately."
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" The six people reacted.
The armored soldier waved his hand: "No need to thank me, thank Her Highness Princess if you want to thank someone, follow me!"
"Yes." The six people followed him up the mountain obediently.
This Camel Peak is often visited by people, and there are stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
They walked up the stone steps, and from time to time, teams of soldiers came to patrol.
These soldiers were not ordinary infantrymen. They glanced at the six people from time to time with cold eyes, as if looking at dead things.
They were trembling with fear and followed them up carefully. After walking a distance, they found a group of soldiers. After walking a distance, they found another group of soldiers.
After walking more than 100 meters, the armored soldier who led them up stopped, saluted to the middle-aged man in green shirt who was waiting there, and then retreated.
"You come with me." The middle-aged man in green shirt said lightly: "Don't talk too much, say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't say, so as not to spoil the fun of His Highness."
"Yes." The six people agreed hurriedly.
The middle-aged man in green shirt led the six of them up.
They found that the higher they went, the fewer soldiers patrolled. When they reached the top, there were no patrols.
The leaves of the trees on both sides had almost fallen. A gust of wind blew. Although the sun was shining, the rustling sound still made people melancholy.
Camel Peak got its name because there were two towering rocks at the highest peak, one high and one low.
At this time, there were many people standing under the two boulders.
A group of colorful women, all of them were beautiful.
A group of purple eunuchs, some of them had white hair and youthful faces, some were handsome and agile.
They were surrounded by three women.
One was in her fifties, one was in her thirties, and one was eighteen or nineteen years old. Even the women in their fifties were beautiful and noble.
The thirty-something was like a fairy concubine, so beautiful and gorgeous that it was hard to look directly at her.
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old was beautiful, lively and clear, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, not eating the fireworks of the world.
It was Chu Ling, the queen and the queen mother.
"Hello, Princess." Lao Ma and the others guessed that the youngest should be the fifteenth princess Chu Ling, and they bowed their heads and saluted.
Chu Ling waved her jade hand: "Okay, no need to thank me, you have good eyes, knowing to come here to see."
"Yes." The six people bowed their heads and dared not say more.
Although they were rich people in Shenjing City, when they were drinking and chatting, they would often point out the emperor and the princess.
Moreover, they were in Shenjing City, and their residences were only a dozen or twenty miles away from the Forbidden Palace. The distance was not far, but they were actually like living in two different worlds.
The only time they could see the emperor and his family was during the Zhongyuan Festival.
Zhongyuan Festival was a celebration for all the people.
The emperor and the queen mother would take their whole family to the star-gazing tower of the Forbidden Palace to watch the lanterns, the performances, and the fireworks with the people in Shenjing City.
The rest of the time, they had no chance to see the emperor and the princess.
Even if they could see the emperor and the queen mother, they couldn't see them clearly.
The star-gazing tower of the Forbidden Palace was a hundred meters high, and the people below couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, unless those martial arts masters used their eyesight.
The six of them practiced martial arts, but they hadn't reached the Tianyuan realm yet, so they couldn't see the faces of the emperor and the queen mother.
The queen mother smiled and said, "Do you believe that Master Fakong can pray for rain?"
"Yes." The six people bowed their heads and answered.
Chu Ling said: "Grandmother, now Fakong is famous enough, everyone believes that he can pray for rain."
"At this time, if he can't pray for rain..." The queen shook her head gently: "This kind of thing is not always accurate, right? Will it be inaccurate occasionally?"
Who can predict God's temper? Sometimes it will be dry, sometimes it will be flooded, all depends on his thoughts. What if he really can't pray for rain...
If it is a normal prayer for rain, everyone knows that it may not work, and whether it will work depends on luck.
Master Fakong is different.
None of the ceremonies he held failed, which made people confident and expectant.
Everyone came to see how to make rain and pray for rain. Success is justified, and failure is a joke.
"Mother, you are worrying too much. I know him. He will never do it unless he is absolutely sure. Once he does it, there will be no mistakes."
"No one can avoid mistakes."
"He won't."
"You girl." The queen smiled and said, "I trust the master. Okay, then let's see what praying for rain looks like. It's a pity that we missed it last time."
Chu Ling glanced at Lao Ma and the other six people: "Why are you still standing there? Stay aside and don't get in the way!"
"Yes." The six people hurriedly bowed their heads and responded.
The middle-aged man in green shirt took them to a huge rock and asked them to stand there and watch.
Standing on the huge rock, they could see the Nantian Gate opposite clearly, and their backs were facing Chu Ling and the others.
