Chapter 94: The Sixth Prince’s Doomsday
Translator: 549690339
The First Prince’s businesses had suffered the greatest losses, and almost all of his businesses in the capital had been destroyed.
At the same time.
The Xia Emperor pointed at their noses and gave them a vicious scolding. His words were sharp, and he was just short of slapping them. Each and every one of them had lost all their face, and they wished they could find a rat hole to hide in and be imprisoned for seven days.
The True Dragon Palace and the Fifth Division of the City Defense were not doing their jobs well. The former pushed a Purple Dragon Emissary who had relied on connections to get to the top to take the blame and was stripped of his position. The general who was on duty last night was expelled from the army and demoted to a commoner.
The nearby shops and residents who suffered losses would be compensated by the participating princes.
The Crown Prince made a prompt decision. When he discovered the situation here, he immediately mobilized the Flood Dragon Guards to suppress it and resolve a potential crisis. Emperor Xia rewarded him with a pair of jade ruyi and praised him verbally.
“Did you catch that demon?” he asked Zhang Ronghua.”
“No! The other party’s escape technique was very fast and he was also good at concealment. Even if he was injured, it would be very difficult to take him down.”
Crown Prince nodded and did not dwell on the issue. He already knew what to do in his heart, so he asked again, ‘”What do you think about what happened last night?”
He pondered for a moment.
Zhang Ronghua voiced out his guess,” The motive of the mastermind behind the scenes is very clear. He wants to drag everyone down and throw the situation into chaos. On the surface, although the matter has been resolved, the seeds of hatred have also been planted. When the opportunity is right, he will definitely kill them.”
“I think so too. The First Prince suffered the greatest loss this time. When he left the Imperial Palace, his face was completely black.”
“There’s still no news from Witch and Jingshen?”
The Crown Prince shook his head. He had already ordered people to investigate, but the capital was too big. There were millions of people. It was really easy to hide someone. Just finding a place to hide would take a lot of effort.
Moreover…
It was not the right time yet. Some forces could not be revealed. Otherwise, someone would not be able to sit still and could only carry out the investigation in secret. This would increase the difficulty of the investigation again.
He changed the topic.
“You did well this time. Each of you will be rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver and a portion of spiritual fruit.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“You’ve been busy since last night and haven’t rested yet. I’ll give you half a day off and you’ll be back on duty tomorrow.”
They left the Hall of Proclamation and Harmony.
“He really didn’t catch them?” asked the Green Girl.”
The Crown Prince shook his head.” That’s not important. If there was news, he wouldn’t hide it.”
He left the Eastern Palace.
Ma Ping ‘an left first. Zheng Fugui stopped and asked,””Cousin, are you going to Shangjing?”
Zhang Ronghua guessed what he wanted to do. He transferred the mansion that the Crown Prince gave him to his name and then moved over. He smiled and said,”No! You can go by yourself.”
“Alright! When I come back, I’ll ask you to visit it together.”
He left in a hurry.
Back home.
Uncle Shi had just finished preparing lunch and didn’t know that he was coming back. There were only two dishes and a bowl of soup. He brought a bowl over from the kitchen.
In the lobby.
Uncle Shi took a mouthful of rice and asked,””Where’s wealth?”
“His Highness bestowed him with a courtyard not far from here. He went to the Shangjing government to transfer the ownership, and he will live there from now on.”
He looked around but did not see Purple Cat.
“What about it?” Zhang Ronghua asked curiously. “He was just sunbathing in the courtyard.”
After dinner.
Zhang Ronghua found Purple Cat at the side of the bedroom. The little fellow was smart and occupied a room. After confirming that it did not run around, he returned to the room and closed the door.
He sat on the bed and took out the ancient text fragment.
There were only nine pages in a book. Those who had not studied the ancient texts would not be able to understand them at all. It was like reading a wordless heavenly book.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He discovered that this incomplete text was actually a part of the Chaos Celestial Body. It could be supplemented to make the Chaos Celestial Body more complete. “Where did the First Prince’s men get this?”
If last night’s incident hadn’t happened, he could have captured the person in charge of the shop and interrogated him.
However, they died in that chaotic battle. Even if someone was lucky enough to escape, they would not know.
He put away the ancient text fragment.
According to the records, he began to complete the Chaos Celestial Body. He used some time to perfect it and increase its power by 20%. He circulated it again according to the new cultivation technique and only stopped after two hours.
“My strength has increased again.”
At this moment, Zheng Fugui’s voice came from outside.””Cousin, come out quickly. I’ll bring you to see my mansion.” “This guy!”
He opened the door and walked out.
The latter impatiently urged him to hurry up. After crossing two streets, they stopped outside a small courtyard. The location was not bad. Although it could not be compared to his place, it was not much different. The scenery was also quite good, and there were flowers and plants around.
He opened the door to the courtyard.
It was clean and tidy. There was not a speck of dust or fallen leaves on the ground. It seemed like it had been cleaned. Even the furniture was new. There was also a small lake with some ornamental fish. The Crown Prince had considered the details very well.
He finished reading it in one go.
Zheng Fugui’s mouth was crooked from laughing. He was very satisfied with this mansion and said happily, “I’ll go back now and call my parents, aunt, and uncle over. We’ll have dinner here tonight.”
After he left, Zhang Ronghua stopped at the lake. He suddenly had an urge to practice all the martial techniques and divine arts he had.
He did as he was told.
He started with the simplest Taizu Long Fist. That year, he pestered Zhang Qin for a long time and was annoyed by him, so he taught him this Lower Yellow Class fist technique. He did not expect Zhang Qin to be so talented that he could master it in one go. Not long after, his family’s wealth was emptied, and Zhang Ronghua’s strength had reached a very high level..
