From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi's proposal was a path he had never imagined.

Although for Zhao Qing, he can actually embezzle some igneous rock ore every day through various means.

But he didn't dare to make such a small move too ostentatious.

After all, if this kind of thing really gets out of hand, he will be in trouble.

Moreover, all the benefits he got did not belong to him alone. He had to give some benefits to the accountants, guards and others around him.

So that these people can turn a blind eye to themselves.

But as long as they agreed to Zheng Yi's proposal, these volcanic rocks would all belong to them, and they would not have to share the profits with anyone.

After the initial surprise, Zhao Qing rolled his eyes and sneered disdainfully: "Shut up, who do you think I am?"

"Don't think I'm someone who can be easily bribed. If you dare to say such treasonous words in front of me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zheng Yi sneered secretly. As he said before, if Zhao Qing was really as loyal to the Zhao family as he said, he would not still be here now.

"Six pieces." Zheng Yi happily raised the stakes: "Manager Qing, we are just trying to find a way for the people of Hewan Village to dig out one or two more pieces of ore when they are lucky."

"Providing you six pieces a day is the best we can do."

"You know, we must complete our tasks first, and only then can we give you the extra."

"Otherwise, you might as well tell the people above you about this news."

Zhao Qing’s request cannot be rejected, but it definitely cannot be met either.

Such people are greedy and if they act too tough, they may irritate the other person, but if they are too weak, the other person may treat them as a pushover.

Sure enough, after Zheng Yi's soft and hard tactics.

Zhao Qing was really a little afraid that the duck he had caught would fly away, so he quickly agreed: "Okay, considering that it's not easy for you, I'll give you a little convenience this time."

"How about this." Zhao Qing frowned and thought for a while before saying, "There are several mines in the mine. Because the terrain is complicated and it is difficult to dig, many people in the village are unwilling to go there."

"I'll talk to the manager above and have you guys assigned there. That way you don't have to fight with people every day. How do you think?"

This guy is even more greedy than Zheng Yi imagined.

Not only do they want to benefit from them, they also want to give them the most difficult mines that no one wants to go to.

However, this is exactly what Zheng Yi planned.

That kind of mine where few people go is exactly what he wants.

Of course, this kind of request cannot be easily agreed to. Zheng Yi immediately showed his unwillingness: "Manager Qing, this is not appropriate..."

Zhao Qing's eyes suddenly widened: "What do you mean by appropriate or inappropriate? Isn't this also for your own good? With the noise you guys are making now, even if the masters of the Zhao family don't know, they can't hide it from the managers in the mine."

"Rather than causing a big mess later, it's better to find a quieter place. This will be better for everyone."

"It's settled. I'll talk to the mine manager tomorrow and ask him to change your mine."

"In that case..." Then let's leave it to Manager Qing to make arrangements.

Although he was obviously very happy in his heart, Zheng Yi still pretended to be unwilling on his face.

Zhao Qing left complacently.

After all, not only did they get huge benefits, but they also stuffed the troublesome people from Hewan Village into a mine that no one wanted to go to.

This igneous rock mine has been mined for more than a thousand years and its scale is simply enormous.

Not to mention that the only people mining are miners from the surrounding villages, there would be no problem even if tens of thousands of people were crammed in.

Therefore, if no one is willing to go to some deep mines that are particularly difficult to mine, those in charge will not force them.

Anyway, there are still countless igneous ores to be mined in the shallow mines outside.

After all, for them, completing the assignment required by the Zhao family is the most important thing.

Zhao Qing acted very quickly and had already found a new mine for them the next day.

Feng Haitao gnashed his teeth and cursed: "This green-skinned dog is really a piece of shit. We gave him so many benefits, but he actually sent us to a deep mine where it is difficult to mine."

Zhou Yang nodded repeatedly: "If we didn't have the pickaxe given by the immortal, we would be in big trouble."

Although they were angry, since things had come to this point, everyone just complained a few words and turned their eyes to Zheng Yi.

In just a few days, Zheng Yi had quietly become their backbone.

"Arrange four people to take turns mining, and the others can concentrate on training and improving their cultivation."

"Remember, only strength can keep us living our current life."

Everyone answered in unison: "Yes!"

Their lives are so good now. Not only do they not have to work hard in mining every day, but they can also eat their fill every day.

It was not until now that they finally realized what a miserable life they had led before.

I'm afraid even Zhou Kunshan doesn't know that Hewan Village today has undergone tremendous changes compared to the past.

However, a catalyst is needed to make each of them realize this change.

When the people of Hewan Village were mining, Zheng Yi vaguely felt that there seemed to be something deep in the mine that was attracting him.

The monk's intuition told him that the things inside would be of great benefit to him.

Originally, Zheng Yi was really tempted.

This is the mining area of ​​igneous rock, with such abundant spiritual energy.

The things deep in the mine, if they are not natural treasures that can gather spiritual energy to form such rich land, they may be rare and exotic animals attracted by this spiritual energy.

No matter what it is, it is an extremely rare opportunity for a cultivator.

Even with Zheng Yi's current realm, he might be able to break through the golden elixir stage in one fell swoop and reach the realm of the spirit transformation stage.

It was precisely because of the attraction of that thing that Zheng Yi was often distracted during his practice in the next few days, resulting in much worse results.

Feeling a familiar throbbing in his heart, Zheng Yi opened his eyes, stood up irritably, and walked back and forth twice.

"How about... go and take a look?" Zheng Yi felt like he was being scratched by a cat.

With such a treasure right before his eyes, it would be a lie to say that Zheng Yi was not tempted.

But after taking a few steps, Zheng Yi stopped forcefully again.

"No, no, curiosity kills the cat. This thing is definitely not for me. Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi, please don't be greedy."

Although practicing Taoism means fighting against heaven and earth.

If it were in some other place, the original world or the Canglan Realm, Zheng Yi would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But the problem is that the world he is in now is the Cang Yan Realm.

This is the original world of Cang Yue Yan Huang. The will of heaven here, not to mention being integrated with Cang Yue Yan Huang, is completely inclined towards Cang Yue Yan Huang.

Zheng Yi still remembers all the bad luck he encountered when he went out hunting before.

In the forest, there was nothing special that could do anything to him. But they were now in a mine deep underground.
If the Heavenly Dao is really crazy, just give him an earthquake.

With Zheng Yi's current strength only at the crystallization stage, he is almost certain to die.

So even though he was very tempted, Zheng Yi still forced himself to suppress his curiosity and did not explore the tempting treasure.

Zheng Yi had considered taking a few people from Hewan Village with him before.

Because everything that happened before has proved that as long as Zheng Yi acts together with the people of Hewan Village, that kind of minor bad luck will hardly happen.

"Damn Heaven, it actually used cultivation treasures to tempt me, shameless!" Zheng Yi cursed angrily.

However, what worries Zheng Yi is that as the villagers of Hewan Village trust him more and more, their cultivation level gradually improves.

When Zheng Yi was with them, he gradually felt less safe.

Just half an hour ago, when Zheng Yi was meditating, he was hit by a piece of rubble falling from the wall.

Although it was not a big deal, it showed that his bad luck was recovering.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The only possibility Zheng Yi could think of was that the people of Hewan Village were gradually influenced by him and had begun to oppose the Zhao family.

Naturally, they were also rejected by the way of heaven.

Zheng Yi asked them and found that no one in Hewan Village had encountered any bad luck.

Obviously, since they were all local natives, all this bad luck would only happen to him.

However, Zheng Yi felt that things would definitely not be that simple.

Sure enough, that evening, the people of Hewan Village came back from hunting and were preparing to eat.

Zhou Yang ran back in a panic: "Oh no! Oh no! The Zhao family is coming."

Everyone looked unhappy when they heard this.

Zhou Kunshan glared at his cousin with dissatisfaction. He had clearly told him before that if anything happened he must not make it public, but tell them quietly first and let them think of ways to deal with it.

As a result, Zhou Yang came back running noisily, shouting all the way.

Now, probably everyone in Hewan Village knows that people from the Zhao family have arrived.

Zheng Yi's calm voice sounded, as if no matter how troublesome the matter was, it would not affect him.

"Zhou Yang, calm down first. Haitao, go get him a glass of water."

Seeing Zheng Yi so calm, Zhou Yang gradually calmed down: "My Lord God, this is really bad. The Zhao family is here. I see they are carrying weapons."

Now the people of Hewan Village can be completely certain that the Zhao family has bad intentions.

Otherwise, how could he even bring weapons?
"It's over, it's over. What should I do now?"

"Did they discover us going up the mountain to hunt prey?"

"I think there might be something wrong at the mine."

"Damn the Zhao family. They've only had a few days of good life, and these dogs are following the smell."

"Let's just fight them. I don't want to go back to the hard life of having no food to eat."

"Yes, the worst thing is that we have to fight!"

Others also echoed the sentiment, although there were a few timid ones who felt that this was wrong and too risky.

But seeing how angry the crowd was, these people wisely kept silent.

Seeing that the surroundings were as noisy as a vegetable market, Zheng Yi frowned and said, "Everyone be quiet!"

Suddenly everyone shut their mouths and no one dared to say another word.

Zheng Yi looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Are you sure you are a member of the Zhao family?"

"There's no doubt about it. There's someone wearing Zhao family clothes. I saw it clearly."

Zheng Yi nodded. No one in the Cang Yan Realm dared to pretend to be a member of the Zhao family. And even if they had the courage, it would be basically impossible to get the Zhao family's clothing.

This thing is under extremely strict control. Apart from the Zhao family, anyone who possesses it will be executed on the spot regardless of time and place if discovered.

"How many people are there and how far are they from us now?" Zheng Yi asked again.

"They came down from the mountain, about a mile away. I saw about seven or eight people." Zhou Yang said anxiously.

Zheng Yi nodded slightly: "No matter what they are here for, we must not mess up."

"Each family should put away the food first. Kunshan, you take people to welcome them. Be polite and don't show any flaws."

"Ok!"

As soon as the Zhao family arrived at the village entrance, Zhou Kunshan came to greet them with his men.

When he saw a young man in gorgeous clothes in front of him, who was indeed wearing the unique clothes of the Zhao family, his heart suddenly tightened.

He hurriedly knelt down with everyone and said, "I greet you, sir. May your flame shine forever."

The young man didn't even open his eyes to look at Zhou Kunshan, and asked the person next to him coldly: "Where is this place?"

A eunuch nearby repeated the young man's words and asked Zhou Kunshan: "Where is this place, kid?"

It was the first time that Zhou Kunshan actually came into contact with the Zhao family.

As the ruler of the entire Cang Yan Realm, although the Zhao family has many branches, when placed in the entire world, the number is naturally not that large.

An ordinary village chief, at most he had seen him from a distance by chance.

I still can't understand why someone has to repeat what the young master of the Zhao family said.

At first, he thought that the eunuch knew where this place was.

"Your Excellency, this is Hewan Village."

The eunuch repeated Zhou Kunshan's words in a shrill voice beside the young man.

Zheng Yi, who was hiding in the village and observing all this, understood what was going on.

He curled his lips in disdain and said, "We are all human beings. How can you really think you are so noble?"

The reason why the old eunuch had to repeat every sentence was naturally because this member of the Zhao family considered himself to be of noble status and disdained to communicate directly with Zhou Kunshan, a peasant.

But the next moment, Zheng Yi heard the young man coldly say: "Hewan Village, right?"

"These guys stole game from the mountains, death penalty!"

The next moment, the guards brought by the young master drew their swords and rushed towards Zhou Kunshan and others with murderous intent.

"What the hell!" Zheng Yi really didn't expect that this guy would start fighting over a disagreement.

Seeing that Zhou Kunshan and others were confused, they didn't know what to do.

Zheng Yi rushed forward and knocked the person in front of him away with one palm. (End of this chapter)
