This road was the same one that Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan had used to bring Dongfang Wenxin back.
They still remembered that it was here that they had met the Supreme Assassin Chu Qihun.
At that time, the sky was filled with snow, and the ground was cold. But now, the autumn wind was blowing, and the golden leaves were flying everywhere. There were many forests that were dyed red, and the scenery was as beautiful as a dream. It didn't seem like this was in the mortal world.
Along the way, although the four of them were full of worries, under such a beautiful scenery, they unexpectedly felt relaxed and happy …
They walked and stopped along the way. Although it seemed like they were on a sightseeing tour, it was still many times faster than normal people.
In just a few days, they could already see the Tian Xiang City in the distance.
As Jun Moxie looked at the majestic city, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.
He stood there in a daze for a long time.
Mei Xueyan and the rest could feel the feelings in his heart, and they all stood there quietly with him for a while.
After a long time, Jun Moxie sighed and said, "Let's enter the city. We'll go see Tang Yuan, and then we'll pass through the city. "
Without alerting anyone, the four of them entered Tian Xiang City.
The scenery of Tian Xiang City had not changed, and the people were the same. The only difference was their state of mind!
Three of the four of them were very interested in the hometown of the Evil Monarch. Miao Xiao Miao wanted to know more about the hometown of the Evil Monarch. Qiao Ying was very interested in the birthplace of the Evil Monarch. There was also Mei Xueyan. Although she had lived in Tian Xiang City for a period of time, she was always busy, and spent more than 95% of her time in the Jun Family's old mansion. She had never had the chance to take a good look at Tian Xiang City. After that, she had moved in a hurry. Now that she had the time, she could try out her long-cherished wish!
This was the first time that Jun Dashao tasted bitterness, the bitterness of accompanying women shopping!
Even with Jun Mo Xie's powerful body, after accompanying these three beauties for an entire day, his legs were already trembling. Young Master Jun grumbled bitterly in his heart, but this tour had allowed Qiao Ying's depressed heart to be soothed. As for Miao Xiao Miao, most of the worries she had accumulated along the way had also been resolved after this tour. Just based on these benefits, this effort was worth it!
Women's shopping instincts were very strong. In fact, they had even exhausted the Young Master Jun Mo Xie, who was one of the strongest men in the world. But, they still hadn't fallen to the ground. In fact, the great beauty Mei was the one who felt sorry for him. So, when she saw a certain someone's legs trembling and his face deathly pale, she immediately persuaded the other two beauties to end the day's shopping.
That night, these four people arrived at Tian Xiang's most secretive place — the Aristocratic Hall.
It must be said that the Aristocratic Hall's security was one of the best in the entire continent. But who were these four people? They were at least on the same level as the Holy Emperor. So, the so-called 'best in the continent's' security was full of loopholes in their eyes.
The four of them quietly bypassed the layers of defense that Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang had arranged, and entered Tang Yuan's study room. No one had noticed them the entire time.
This was something that couldn't be helped. There was a limit to one's strength. Asking a secular expert to guard against a top expert in this world was like asking a computer novice to guard against the world's top hacker expert. The focus of both parties was simply not on the same level!
The four of them arrived at Fatty's study room. They hadn't even thought of how to enter when they smelled the strong smell of meat in the room.
They looked at the large bookshelves, and saw a pot of unfinished fat meat … it was covered with a veil. It seemed that Tang Yuan was still preparing to eat …
The four of them looked at each other, and couldn't help but find it funny.
Miao Xiao Miao and Qiao Ying's understanding of Fatty was relatively shallow. Mei Xueyan knew that Jun Moxie rarely acknowledged his friends, and Tang Yuan was one of Jun Moxie's few friends. Therefore, she was quite familiar with Fatty Tang, and naturally knew some of Fatty's habits.
It seemed that Tang Yuan had lost weight, but he still had a strong desire for good food. He would think about eating at all times. But eating fat meat in the study room was a bit too disgraceful. Although Fatty had never cared about the word 'refined', and it seemed that Jun Dashao was the same …
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard from outside the door. It seemed that two people were coming in one after the other.
Jun Moxie gave them a look, and the four of them quickly drifted and hid behind the large bookshelves without making a sound. Not to mention that the two people outside were just ordinary people, even profound practitioners with profound cultivation would not be able to detect them.
Tang Yuan's study room was probably decorated in the past. Instead of calling it a study room, it was more like a small living room. The four of them hid behind the large bookshelves, and there was more than enough space. It didn't feel crowded at all.
The bookshelves were filled to the brim with books. Moreover, many of the books were incomplete or unique. It seemed as if the owner of this place was very cultured. But who would have thought that the owner of this place, Fatty Tang, might not have even read a single word of these books …
"… I still don't understand. Why are you looking for me?" Tang Yuan's voice sounded, and there was a hint of arrogance and condescension in his tone. Obviously, the people who came in with him were not worthy of his attention. In fact, in today's world, there were not many people who could be worthy of the attention of the God of Wealth, Tang Yuan!
"This lowly official is looking for Lord Tang only because I want to join your sect. I really have no other intentions. Lord Tang, please understand." The voice that followed was very unexpected. It seemed to be an official, and the voice was rather stiff. Even though the tone was full of humility, it did not have the enthusiasm that Jun Moxie had imagined.
Jun Moxie could not help but be startled. Hmm, this guy should be here to ask Fatty to do something for him. Why is he so arrogant?
But judging from the voice, this person should not be someone who knows how to flatter others. Let's see how Fatty will handle this …
"Hmm?! You said you want to join my sect? Hehehe, your words are interesting … But I don't know why you, as the head of a yamen in the capital, keep saying that you want to join a merchant like me. What do you mean by that? I really don't understand! " With a creaking sound, Tang Yuan had already sat comfortably in the round chair that he had specially prepared for him. Then, the chair began to creak, as if Tang Yuan was sitting on it and swaying his body back and forth …
"Lord Tang is admittedly not a person of the bureaucracy, and not even a person of the imperial court. But as of now, Lord Tang, you are the most powerful person in the entire continent!" That person's voice carried some grievance, but also a trace of determination. "Everyone in the entire continent knows that it is better to offend the rulers of the eight countries than to offend the God of Wealth. Because those who offend the rulers of the eight countries at the same time will at most die. Even those with high profound strength may be spared, but those who offend the God of Wealth are destined to live a life worse than death! I am not the only one who has said this. This is a fact, a fact that everyone knows! "
Jun Moxie was getting more and more curious. Listening to this person's voice, he was definitely not a shameless person who would bow and scrape. But this kind of person actually took the initiative to join Tang Yuan's sect … What was the reason for this?
Also, listening to Tang Yuan's words, he should be a high-ranking official of Tian Xiang's yamen!
This caused the entire matter to be even more strange.
"Oh?" Tang Yuan raised his eyelids, grunted, and said, "Go on, I like these words the most. Say a few more words, and let me be happy!" After saying that, a certain Fatty laughed mischievously. "In this world, the most happy thing is to sit leisurely on a comfortable chair and listen to people flatter me. This is simply the life of a deity."
With a "gulp" sound, the person opposite Tang Yuan swallowed his saliva, and his breathing instantly quickened. He must have been greatly angered by Tang Yuan's words. Such a leisurely and comfortable life, how could I not wish for it?! But the problem is that this daddy here is living it for someone else. You might be happy, but I'm suffering …
As the chair creaked, Tang Yuan straightened his body, and his voice suddenly became solemn. "Tie Huaili, I know you. You are an upright official, and this is something that everyone in Tian Xiang knows. The evaluation of you in Tian Xiang City is also not bad, especially in the hearts of the commoners. Your prestige is extremely high! But the real reason why I have to personally receive you is because you are truly upright and clean. Only such a person is someone that I, Tang Yuan, truly respect! "
So this person was Tie Huaili.
Jun Moxie's heart stirred. This Tie Huaili was originally a general under Murong Fengyun, and could be considered a man of steel. Later on, he left the military for some reason and rose through the ranks. However, after Murong Fengyun retired, or perhaps because the tree fell, the monkeys would scatter, he also lost his power and position. It was said that in the end, he became a small, idle official in the capital. Who would have thought that he would have to beg Tang Yuan today?
However, Tang Yuan's evaluation of him was the truth.
This person was not the kind of person who would bend his back to serve the rich and powerful. His actions today could be said to be extremely abnormal.
Tie Huaili let out a long sigh. Hearing Tang Yuan's praise, his mood became even more depressed, and he fell silent for a long time.
"Tie Huaili, I, Tang Yuan, have always respected people like you the most. So when you come to beg me today, I'm extremely angry! Could it be that my Tian Xiang Empire doesn't have any good officials with integrity? Do all of them have to f * cking go through the back door to become an official? "
Tang Yuan retorted angrily. "I, Tang Yuan, am a merchant, and a completely unscrupulous one at that. I only know how to earn money. You and I are people of different paths. It should be best for both of us to live in harmony, so why are you acting like this today? "
"Lord Tang is right. You and I are not on the same path to begin with. If there was any other way, why would I resort to such a despicable method to beg a merchant who reeks of money? But today, I have no choice but to beg you! I have no choice but to beg a stinky merchant like you! "Tie Huaili's voice was extremely bitter.
