Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 501 Reward
After getting rid of Pu Feng and his gang, Zhao Zhen had to hold a banquet to celebrate. To the singing girl who first discovered Pu Feng and his gang, Zhao Zhen secretly gave her a huge reward. Twenty taels of gold, enough for the singing girl to live a carefree life for half her life. Le He, who was in charge of the investigation, had someone spread the news among the singing girls secretly. Many singing girls heard about it and started to pay attention to their surroundings.

As for the spoils, Zhao Zhen was so happy when he saw them later that he couldn't stop smiling.

I don't know if these people collected them intentionally in the Taiwei Mansion, but there were eight pieces of [World Spirit] alone. There were also five pairs of swords, of which Pufeng and Puchen used the same pair that was seized from Puhong, both of which were third-level [Tiger Swallowing Bleeding Swords].

The ones used by Fa Yue and the other two were inferior, with a common style and inferior materials, and were only of the first rank. In addition, they also found a martial arts secret book "Bhikkhu Sword Technique", which was the double-ring sword technique practiced by Pu Feng and the other five.

There was not much gold and silver in the two carriages. Only some loose silver and copper coins were found. The rest were just some exquisite and valuable objects that Zhao Zhen had never seen before.

These objects were all extraordinary, and each was worth more than a thousand taels of silver. They included: a sandalwood Sumeru pedestal, a silver lion inlaid with gems, two ivory Guanyins, four ivory figures of the God of Longevity, two pairs of ivory back-sixes, two crystal pots, eight matching crystal cups, a small crystal gourd, and two crystal lamps inlaid with gems, silver elephants, camels, and pearl ropes.

Zhao Zhen looked at all these artifacts one by one. Although they were not high-end artifacts, they were all exquisite and rarely seen among the common people. At first glance, they were made by master craftsmen of all generations and passed down. Interestingly, this silver lion inlaid with gems and coral and the four silver deer inlaid with gems and coral that were found at the beginning were made by the same person, so they were a set of artifacts.

Pu Feng and his companions carried such valuable items with them on their way to the assassination. Zhao Zhen guessed that Pu Feng and his companions probably had no intention of returning to General Gao's mansion after this trip.

After Zhao Zhen looked at these utensils, he asked them to be sent to Cheng Wan'er and distributed to each room for use.

In April, the court also approved Zhao Zhen's application for merit. This time, General Gao did not make things difficult for him and asked the Guanglu Temple to send someone to deliver the imperial gold medal, the imperial lining, the imperial wine, the silk, and the palace maids.

These artifacts were all produced in the palace's back garden. Although they were valuable, to Zhao Zhen, they were just for show.

The person who came to announce the imperial decree was Hou Meng, who had just been promoted to the position of Imperial Censor. In addition, he also brought a scroll of "Five-Colored Parrot Picture" painted by the emperor himself.

Zhao Zhen had never thought that this "Five-Colored Parrot Picture" was actually a guiding object.

"Apricot Blossom Parrot": (This rare bird was born in the sky, and it has come from far away places to pay tribute to the nine heavens. Its body is full of five colors and it is extraordinary. It speaks a lot and it sounds even better. It soars as if its feathers are precious, and it wanders as if its heart is full of rice and wheat. Its yellow chest and blue feet are truly elegant, and I will compose a new poem to follow in his footsteps.)

Of course, this time Zhao Zhen did get some limited power. Hu Yanzhuo, Wei Dingguo and others on the Laiwu front line, as well as Zhang Qing and his soldiers who were marching on the road, were all under Zhao Zhen's control in times of emergency.

Facing Hou Meng, Zhao Zhen complained about the lack of military equipment and the unrest in the country. Hou Meng consoled him, "Sir, the imperial army is now on a campaign to suppress Tian Hu in Hebei, so we can't help but worry about this. When the prime minister returns victorious, the imperial court will naturally allocate more food, fodder and weapons. Sir, please be patient for a while."

Zhao Zhen said, "I'm afraid the Imperial Censor didn't receive the news when he came. Now the Qingzhou bandits have attacked Daoyu Village and have seized countless large and small boats. I heard that Song Jiang and his gang are planning to cross to Goryeo."

Hou Meng was surprised and said, "The commander did mention this, but I didn't know that Daoyuzhai's ship was robbed. If this guy really went to Goryeo, wouldn't the coastal areas never have peace again?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Hou Meng said, "I wonder when you will go to the front line? As long as we can wipe out Song Jiang, the rest of them won't be a problem."

Zhao Zhen said, "Don't worry, Imperial Censor. Since the emperor has entrusted me with such an important task, I will naturally do my best to wipe out Song Jiang and his gang. Once the troops from Dongchang Prefecture arrive, I will attack Qingzhou and cut off Song Jiang's retreat."

After sending Hou Meng away, Zhao Zhen did not move forward. He only ordered Hu Yanzhuo, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo and other generals to attack the city according to their respective deployments to contain Song Jiang in Laiwu.

As for Zhang Qing in Dongchang Prefecture, the troops had not yet left the prefecture, so Zhao Zhen naturally did not urge them to leave. He only left a military order, and then explained things to Xiao Rang, Cheng Wan'er and others before returning to the main world. During this period of time, everything in the main world was stable.

The couple had not seen each other for many days, so naturally they could not avoid some intimacy. Afterwards, Zhao Zhen took out the dragon and phoenix seal script, and Ji Qingwan looked at it with surprise. "Husband, is this for me?"

Looking at Ji Qingwan, whose blush had not yet faded, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Of course it's for Madam, as she took the dragon and phoenix seal script and sat up on the bed without caring about revealing her spring light."

Ji Qingwan didn't even bother to thank him and used it immediately, becoming a talisman master.

Afterwards, Ji Qingwan used her charming methods and tried her best to serve Zhao Zhen.

On the second day, looking at the happy Ji Qingwan, Ji Xuan asked: "Qingwan, why are you so happy today?"

Ji Qingwan did not hide anything and told him that she had become a talisman master. Ji Xuan smiled and said, "It makes your wish come true."

Ji Minghan and Ji Mingdan also came forward to congratulate Ji Qingwan.

After the meal, Zhao Zhen asked, "Madam, have you found out about the entry-level spiritual beans?"

Ji Xuan said: "I bought two kinds of beans at a high price. I wonder if they are suitable for use?"

As she spoke, Ji Xuan stood up and went to the back to get two cloth bags and brought them to Zhao Zhen.

Red Fire Bean (Level 1, eating it can drive away the cold.)
Zero Black Bean (Level 1, Horses eat this to strengthen their bodies.)
Zhao Zhen secretly practiced the bean soldier method, but it turned out that neither of the two beans were suitable.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Zhen said, "This bean is not useful. Fortunately, it is also a spiritual plant. Planting it in the fantasy world will also be useful in the future."

Ji Xuan listened and said, "Gao country has been promoting the two spiritual plants of golden wheat and crystal rice. The bean spiritual plants are rare. Lu Sanlang found these black beans. I heard that he found another kind of beans and will be able to report back in the next few days."

Zhao Zhen said, "Growing magical beans is naturally not as versatile as growing rice and wheat. Being able to find two kinds of magical beans in a short period of time is already a sign of Madam's thoughtfulness."

Ji Xuan said: "In order to buy these two kinds of beans, I bought hundreds of stones of ordinary beans each."

"It's not a big deal. In the Fantasy World, food for people and horses can be consumed in a few days. Nowadays, granaries are built everywhere in the Fantasy World, and they can store as much as you want. It's not a big deal to buy more."

"I have been busy developing the fantasy world these days so that I can have a large enough foothold in the fantasy world in the future. I can't take care of many things here. Ladies, please take care of it. If you think it is useful, just buy it. If there is not enough gold and silver, I will transfer some from the fantasy world." Zhao Zhen said.

Ji Qingwan said: "Don't worry, my husband. With these specialties that my husband brought from the fantasy world, there is enough gold and silver in the house."

Two days later, Lu Zhuocheng brought more than ten kilograms of second-level [Lian Yang Three-Colored Beans]. Unfortunately, after refining it, it was not what Zhao Zhen needed.

In this regard, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little shaken, and planned to go back and consult Gongsun Sheng again.
