< Today's second update! The third update is in progress … >
"This man's scheme is admittedly for the sake of wealth. But, the amount of wealth he's plotting is enormous! It's a soul-stirring astronomical figure. So, it can't be taken lightly! "
"Other than that, with all the great clans gathered together, something will definitely happen. I believe that even if nothing happens, this person will still deliberately create trouble. Only by making the situation chaotic will it be easier for him to reap benefits from the chaos. And, he'll be able to take advantage of today's conflict in the future. And, he'll be able to make decisions that will benefit him in the future! "The Emperor stood up, and started to pace back and forth. He sighed after a long while, and muttered, "It's a pity that such a talent could be of use to me …"
"This man is formidable. But, he still needs the support of the three big families in order to stir up such a huge storm. And, it won't be easy for him to stir up the storm without the support of the Jun and Tang families. Moreover, he also has the help of the Prince Equivalent," the white-robed man consoled.
"You've just mentioned the crucial point. And, this is what I'm worried about! This man was able to persuade the three families to help him. So, it's obvious that he has a good relationship with them. And, that relationship is certainly not shallow. There was a rumor that the wine being sold today was the result of a bet between the Third Young Master of the Jun Family, Jun Moxie, and the Great General Dugu Wudi. But, I don't quite believe that this scheme was devised by that brat, Jun Moxie. But, I'll have to look at him in a new light if it's really that debauchee's idea. "
The Emperor chuckled a few times. But, he couldn't hide the worry on his face. He asserted, "Someone else must've come up with this scheme!"
"But, he's an outstanding talent no matter who he is. And, it doesn't matter what this man's original intention was. He's going to stir up chaos! " The Emperor frowned for a while. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "But, this auction will be very interesting no matter what. Mr. Wen, would you be interested in accompanying me? "
"Your Majesty, are you tempted?" The white-robed Mr. Wen raised his head and looked at the Emperor. His eyes were as clear as the water of a clear lake. They didn't have the slightest bit of impurities. This pair of eyes … seemed to be the eyes of a newborn baby.
"This matter is interesting. This person is talented and dangerous. Shouldn't I be moved by such an interesting matter?" His Majesty narrowed his eyes. "Moreover, this matter will have a far-reaching impact on the situation in the capital. How can I not join in the fun? It's good to broaden my horizons. I also want to have a taste and see what kind of wine is worth ten thousand taels of silver per jar! "
Mr. Wen stood up in a free and easy manner. His smooth baby-like face revealed an "innocent" smile. He chuckled and said, "In that case, this old man will accompany Your Majesty on this trip."
"With Teacher by my side, it's absolutely foolproof!" The Emperor laughed. As they spoke, they walked out. "However, we still need to find someone to bring us there. We don't have an invitation, hehe …"
"It is reported that the three princes and Her Royal Highness Princess Reimu have been invited. Your Majesty wants to go with the princess?" Mr. Wen blinked his eyes. The two of them smiled in tacit understanding.
"At the same time, I'll take a look at how my three sons fight openly and covertly. This journey should be very interesting. No matter what, something has to happen, right? " The Emperor smiled deeply. Wrinkles appeared on his face as he smiled. Then, he asked, "Brother Zhu hasn't eaten anything for the past few days? Is he feeling better? "
Mr. Wen walked shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor. He didn't shy away from being a step behind. Then, he smiled and said, "It's time to change his bad habit. But, that grandson of Tang Wan Li is too … incompetent. He was scared to the point of wetting his pants. And, Little Zhu's timing was just too coincidental. He deserved to be clean for half of his life. But, he was pulled on his mouth … "
He addressed Zhu Zhu Zhu as' Little Zhu '. It seemed that his status was at least one generation higher than Zhu Zhu Zhu and the others. But, he looked much younger than Dugu Wudi. In fact, he was at most the same age as Jun Wuyi.
This was very strange.
"Ha ha …" His Majesty laughed. Then, he turned to the old eunuch and said, "Tell the Imperial Kitchen to go to the Imperial Hospital. Tell them to prepare some appetizers for Eunuch Zhu. How can he not eat and drink every day?"
The old eunuch respectfully complied. He was the Emperor's personal attendant. He had accompanied the Emperor for thirty years. So, he understood the meaning behind these words. First, Zhu Zhu Zhu's matter needed to be conveyed by him. Second, His Majesty didn't want him to follow. So, he withdrew.
His Majesty smiled as he watched the old eunuch withdraw. He then said, "I haven't left the palace in disguise for a long time. I really … miss those days."
"Your Majesty will personally take action. I'm sure that the mastermind who's plotting in secret won't be able to hide!" Mr. Wen smiled elegantly and said, "Perhaps Your Majesty will obtain a great talent because of this auction. This Wen congratulates Your Majesty in advance …"
"I hope so!" His Majesty smiled faintly. But, the expression in his eyes fluctuated. There was a faint trace of doubt in his eyes. He muttered a name, but didn't say it aloud. However, the shape of his mouth indicated that he was constantly muttering the name 'Jun Wuyi'.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
… …..
The sun gradually rose. The big families had finally arrived one after another.
The Dugu Family was the first to arrive. They were known as the most tyrannical and barbaric family in the capital. Eight tall horses had arrived. All of them were valiant and high-spirited. They were surrounding a light green palanquin. The Dugu Family's Lord, Dugu Wu Di, was leading the 'Heroes and Legends Rushing Forward'. His seven nephews had arrived in unison. They looked like eight majestic bears who had smelled the fragrance of honey in high spirits.
The large group of people arrived in front of the door, and stopped in unison. The light green door of the palanquin opened, and a graceful, slim, and pretty figure gracefully walked out. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like spring water. Her almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks were like a painting. She had the charm of a hundred beauties. Her charm revealed the purity and beauty of a young girl in the prime of her youth.
This person was one of Tian Xiang City's two peerless beauties — Dugu Xiaoyi!
Jun Moxie's eyes would've been wide open if he were here. [This graceful, gentle, and stunning beauty … is this the violent little girl who screams about killing people every day?] This transformation was too big. It was a super transformation!
The arrival of the Dugu Family had finally attracted the attention of a very important person from the Jun Family.
Jun Wu Yi was sitting upright in his wheelchair at the end of the flower-filled path. He was dressed in a plain green robe. His chiseled face had a faint smile on it, which made him look very graceful. He was being pushed by a white-clothed youngster as he slowly made his way forward.
"Brother Dugu." Jun Wuyi cupped his hands in greeting. His eyes revealed a trace of warmth: "You've arrived."
"Third Brother!" Dugu Wudi jumped off his horse and strode forward: "The Jun Family is leading the opening of this business. How can I not show my support? How can I trouble Third Brother to personally welcome me? I'll go in myself. We're not strangers. "
"It doesn't matter. In the vast capital, only Brother Dugu is worthy of me, Jun Wuyi, personally coming out to welcome you. Since Brother Dugu has come, how can I neglect you? "Jun Wuyi smiled. His eyes were full of profound meaning as he stretched out his hand:" Brother Dugu, please! "
Dugu Wudi's expression changed as soon as he heard the words' Brother Dugu '. His eyes flashed with ecstasy as he cupped his fists: "Third Brother Jun, please!" He stretched out his hand and pushed aside the white-clothed youth who was pushing the wheelchair behind Jun Wuyi. Then he laughed and said: "You go rest. I'll push my Third Brother inside."
Jun Wu Yi leaned back comfortably, and allowed Dugu Wudi to push his wheelchair. Dugu Wudi pointed out the route they should take, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the two of them felt a little touched in their hearts.
Could it be that the years that had passed by have returned?
Dugu Wudi laughed heartily. His heart was filled with joy. However, his tiger-like eyes were suddenly filled with tears. He pretended to lower his head, and quietly wiped them away. His blood was boiling in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart, [Brother Wu Hui, Third Brother … Little Brother has forgiven me … He has called me Brother Dugu again today … I'm so happy … I'm so happy!
The two of them hadn't spoken a single word for the past ten years. They hadn't mentioned anything that had happened in the past ten years either. But, the grudges and estrangement of the past ten years had completely melted away in a single sentence!
The two of them were happily chatting and laughing. But, everyone could feel that there was a thick layer of sadness shrouding these two all-powerful generals. It was a bloody sadness!
This was the tacit understanding between iron-blooded soldiers!
If there was enmity between them, they would return it with a sword. If there was enmity between them, they would let it go with a smile!
Ten years of vicissitudes had changed. But, today, a smile had erased all enmity!
It was only a change in the way they addressed each other. But, the enmity between these two peerless generals had been dispelled!
The seven strong men of the Dugu Family didn't utter a single word at this moment. In fact, they didn't have their usual fiery temperament. Instead, they were extremely quiet. Even their usual heavy breathing had been restrained. It was as if they were afraid to disturb these two brothers who had survived hundreds of battles.
That was because they were carrying the glory of the entire military and the entire Tian Xiang Empire on their shoulders!
The little girl Dugu Xiaoyi's eyes turned red. She couldn't help but sob in a low voice. The little girl was young. So, it was difficult for her to understand the special camaraderie between comrades-in-arms. But, she was Dugu Wudi's only daughter. So, she understood what her father had been tangled up in his heart all these years.
Dugu Wu Di had been careless throughout his life. But, he had never been careless about one thing. He had never been careless about it.
Jun Wu Hui!
Every year on Jun Wu Hui's birthday and death, Dugu Wu Di would drink himself into a stupor. Then, this extremely tough and unyielding man would burst into tears without any regard for his manners. He would cry to his heart's content without any attempt to conceal it! He would cry until his liver and intestines were cut into pieces!
Dugu Wudi had rarely shed tears in his life. But, they were all for the sake of his dead sworn brother! Many times, Dugu Xiaoyi would see Dugu Wudi sitting alone in his study room. Dugu Wudi would sigh as he caressed the sword that Jun Wu Hui had given him …
But today, Jun Wu Yi's words had completely unraveled the knot in Dugu Wudi's heart! How could Dugu Xiaoyi not be happy? How could she not cry? How could she not be moved to tears?
After the Dugu family, another big family arrived — the Song family. Then, the Tang family, the Li family, and the Meng family arrived one after another.
The Magnificent Jewel Hall, which was only a street away, had also received an invitation. Xiao Han and Mu Xue Tong were dressed in their usual white robes. They were accompanied by the flower-like Han Yan Meng.
