Chapter 993 No Time for Politeness

Temporary Prime Minister's Office.

In the courtyard, Bai Xiaowei leaned on a recliner. Zong Liang pushed the recliner slightly. The Prime Minister looked very happy as it swayed.

"Gu Qinghao knows how to live, but he hasn't given a specific amount for his salary, so it's difficult for me to give a price," said Bai Xiaowei.

Zong Liang was a man who kept his promises, and whispered to the Prime Minister: "Although most of the people in Zhengxiong Mountain are wandering around, they are brave and fearless, and their determination is strong, so they deserve a generous reward."

Bai Xiaowei smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know that the current financial situation is tight?"

"In this rush, where can I go to collect money for Gu Qinghao?"

Zong Liang was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, he came up with a bad idea and said, "Maybe there is still some money in Fucheng."

Bai Xiaowei's eyes lit up and he smiled implicitly, "That's right. After Fu Cheng became the Northern King, he also received a lot of gifts. In addition, His Royal Highness the Northern King has never asked Your Majesty for money."

"If the Northern King takes the initiative to ask, Your Majesty will be able to squeeze out some for him."

Zong Liang subconsciously said, "Why don't I give Fu Cheng a hint or two?"

Bai Xiaowei quickly scolded: "It is a certain time now. We should keep our distance from the Northern King. Fu Cheng should be able to figure out this simple truth himself."

"To do big things, the most important thing is money."

"And from what I know, there should be no shortage of silver in the Northern Prince's Palace."

"As for the cultivation resources, Fucheng can at least provide some."

Zong Liang finally reacted and slapped himself. How could he be so confused at this time?

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowei burst into laughter.

Seeing Bai Xiaowei laughing, Zong Liang asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Bai Xiaowei snorted and laughed: "Nothing, I just remembered something from the past."

"When Lord Yuwen was planning to build the Hengchang Sect, he had no money. Lord Yuwen's approach was very simple. He used Xu Huanshan's head to ask His Majesty for a million gold coins."

"It's a pity that this incident was not recorded in the official history."

“Not many people know about this.”

"So much so that there wasn't even any gossip on the streets."

Zong Liang's pupils trembled. If someone else had said this, Zong Liang would naturally not believe it, but since the Prime Minister said it himself, Zong Liang still believed it.

"So, Hengchang Sect was established so easily?" Zong Liang said in disbelief.

Bai Xiaowei nodded and said, "You can say that. Of course, if someone like Yu Wenjun is short of money, he will have his own ways, but he chose the most direct way."

"At the beginning, Xu Huanshan was highly regarded by His Majesty and was also an orthodox figure in Bailu Academy, while Yuwen Jun was a rising star and was not among the orthodox ones."

"I guess His Majesty at that time didn't think that Yu Wenjun could cause much trouble."

"So, when you look at people and things, you need to have a long-term perspective. Some people who you think are insignificant today may become a towering giant in the future."

Zong Liang was thoughtful. He didn't expect that these outrageous things were actually true.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowei looked at Zong Liang seriously and kindly reminded him, "Please don't report me in front of His Majesty. This matter involves the reputation of His Majesty and Bailu Academy."

"What you just said is already a crime of disrespect."

Zong Liang quickly responded: "I didn't hear anything."

……

Outside the main gate of the Northern Palace.

A young man, eight feet tall and handsome, stood outside the mansion.

He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe. His posture seemed upright, but there was a hint of wildness between his brows.

Gu Qinghao came, he came alone. After knocking on the door, Gu Qinghao waited silently with a suspicious expression on his face.

Inside, the sound of knife sharpening could be heard. Six people were sharpening knives, and the sound was getting louder and louder.

"It seems like he is really planning to do something big." Gu Qinghao murmured to himself in his heart.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the official Wang Yue opened the gate of the palace.

After seeing Gu Qinghao, he asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Wang Yue thought it was Huang Chun who came, but he had seen Huang Chun's appearance and confirmed that this person was not Huang Chun.

"Gu Qinghao, I'm here to visit Fucheng." Gu Qinghao said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue immediately made an inviting gesture and said, "Please come in."

Gu Qinghao looked suspicious and asked, "Aren't you going to report this to your prince?"

Wang Yue smiled knowingly and said, "No need. Although I am an official, I also know that anyone who can come to the Northern Palace at this critical moment is not a simple person. Moreover, you hold the Qingyun Order. It is also an honor for the Northern Palace that you can come here."

Gu Qinghao snorted coldly and said, "You are quite good at talking."

The two chatted as they walked, and after entering the inner court, Gu Qinghao stood in the corridor, a little dumbfounded.

Fu Cheng, Guo Shenghe, Jing Hanqing, Gao Zhi, Li Huaiyi, and Liang Ning, six people gathered in the courtyard to sharpen swords. The whetstones were dark black, with a faint glow of blood.

Obviously it is a top-grade fire dragon stone.

Weapons sharpened with Fire Dragon Stone are not only sharper, but also infused with spiritual energy. The best Fire Dragon Stone can directly grind scrap copper and iron into rare divine weapons.

Whether it was the famous sword Duannian of the past or the Liuxue sword in Jing Peiyao's hand, they had both been carefully polished with the Fire Dragon Stone.

After Gu Qinghao arrived, the six people from Fucheng raised their heads at the same time and looked at Gu Qinghao.

Among them, Li Huaiyi showed some fighting spirit towards Gu Qinghao.

At the original Qingyun Conference, Gu Qinghao defeated Li Huaiyi's brother and took away the Qingyun Order.

"I seem to have seen something I shouldn't have seen." Gu Qinghao said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

When Fu Cheng saw Gu Qinghao coming alone, he immediately understood what he meant and stood up and said to the people around him: "You continue to polish."

Guo Shenghe, Jing Hanqing and others lowered their heads again and continued to sharpen their swords.

"I'm very happy that you can come here." Fu Cheng bowed slightly to Gu Qinghao.

Gu Qinghao returned the greeting, and then Fu Cheng took Gu Qinghao into the house and sat down.

"As you can see, we are about to take action." Fu Cheng said as he served tea to Gu Qinghao.

Gu Qinghao paused and tentatively responded: "In fact, you should be able to guess what I want to do!"

Fu Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, so I'm really happy that you're here."

"I also know that scholars like Xu Hua and Wang Boye have been to the Divine Realm."

"I never expected you to come to help."

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing."

Gu Qinghao picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Isn't it a bit vulgar to talk about money directly?"

Fu Cheng said: "Stay here for a while, we will have a drink together, and after that, the six of us will have to go out and do serious work."

"Zhengxiong Mountain has always been short of resources. I have also heard about this matter."

"So, the Northern King's Treasury will be open to you."

"Now, I, the Northern King, am not afraid of wearing shoes even if I am barefoot, so I am more direct in my words. I hope the leader will bear with me."
