Shennong Sequence

Chapter 145: Luck Backfires on the Commander King, the Imperial Merchant is Robbed, and the Golden-winged Peng Eagle is Imprisoned in a Cage

The little girl looked at Zhao Yun who seemed to be interested in her, and knew that the reason why she sold herself to bury her father might be Zhao Yun, so she showed her own advantages:
"The words on the ground were written by me. My calligraphy was taught to me by my father. He went to the Foothill Academy to study for a few years, but then something seemed to break. My father only gave me a general idea and didn't tell me what happened next. After that, my family made a living by fishing."

Zhao Yun once again looked at the girl in front of him. She looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, in the prime of her youth, but she was too thin...

Then he took out a five-liang silver ingot from the door key space, pulled up the kneeling girl, and placed the silver ingot in her hand.

But Zhao Yun continued to ask: "Do you have anything special on you or in your home that your father left behind?"

The little girl said, "My father left me an inkstone, but nothing else. My benefactor, what is your name? Where do you live? After I go home and settle my father, I will come to find you... I am willing to serve you and be your slave."

Zhao Yun did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at the girl again and found that there was indeed no jade, tokens, or other items containing any strange things.

Then all the abnormalities that caused the spiritual sense to be awakened were due to this girl.

Zhao Yun said, "After you take this money back and settle your father, bring your belongings and come to the Ministry of Agriculture to find me. My name is Zhao Yun."

At the same time, Zhao Yun used his magic power to inject it into the back of the little girl's head as a mark.

"Also, when you go home to bury your father, if anyone tries to stop you, tell them about my relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture! If anyone tries to stop you again, pat your head three times and I'll come find you. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"My benefactor, my name is Xin Ruyin, and I will definitely come back to repay you."

The little girl took the silver and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Yun.

But Zhao Yun did not refuse, because he felt that with the little girl's kneeling, his luck suddenly rose to a higher level!
It’s an unimaginable feeling!
And some kind of power in the yellow cloth suddenly blessed his pair of spiritual eyes that were transformed by his archery skills.

When Zhao Yun looked at Xin Ruyin, he felt as if he was looking into a suddenly bright sun, the light so bright that tears came to his eyes!

Then he quickly looked up and saw the fortune that was rising rapidly above his head, which was constantly surging.

In an instant, it had turned into a state of green with a hint of red!

But the fortune has been surging and has not completely stabilized.

Then the power in the yellow cloth was withdrawn, and Zhao Yun looked at the sky again. It was still blue sky with white clouds...

"This girl, turns out to be someone with great luck! I can use her for my own benefit..."

Zhao Yun touched Xin Ruyin's greasy hair that had not been washed for years, and injected ten magical powers into her body, not only to protect her safety, but also to nourish Xin Ruyin's thin body.

"You have chosen a good name. Go back and settle your family affairs first, and then come to the Ministry of Agriculture to find me."

As for why Zhao Yun had already seen that Xin Ruyin was a person with great luck, but still did not choose to help her to the end and help Xin Ruyin go back to bury her father?

Firstly, he and Sun Zhengxuan were in a troubled time, and were hiding from and distrusting Commander Wang;

Secondly, Zhao Yun also needs to hide in the Sinong Prison to avoid some assassins who might come to kill him...

All these reasons combined make it unsuitable for him to show up in public.

Moreover, through the questions Zhao Yun asked Xin Ruyin during the conversation, he was sure that Xin Ruyin was quite intelligent.

Even if they really encountered trouble, they would definitely know to ask him for help, or just run away...

Moreover, Zhao Yun injected eleven magical powers into Xin Ruyin's body, which not only played a supervisory role, but also a protective role... In addition, Xin Ruyin herself has great luck and does not seem like someone who can be easily bullied!
After Zhao Yun watched Xin Ruyin walk out of the city gate, he turned back to look at his master Sun Zhengxuan, who had just asked him a question and then remained silent.

Sun Zhengxuan said: "I don't feel anything abnormal about this kid. But since your spiritual perception is pointing to her, it is estimated that there are some abnormalities in this kid. Let's talk about it in the future..."

"In addition, the girl said that her father had studied at the Foothill Academy for a few years. I guess he should have started practicing Confucianism... But later he might have been injured, or his foundation was damaged, etc., so he fell to the point of fishing."

"When the girl brings the inkstone left by her father, you can check whether there is anything useful hidden in it..."

Sun Zhengxuan helped Zhao Yun analyze some of the hidden information in Xin Ruyin's words.

But after all, it was just a few questions, and there was no other more substantial content, so I could only roughly explain some implied things.

Zhao Yun listened and thought, and also had his own thoughts.

And when the power that had just flowed out of the yellow cloth was added to his eyes, he not only saw his own luck, but also saw the luck in Xin Ruyin's body that was as bright as the sun.

Zhao Yun felt that if he didn't have the yellow cloth to suppress his own luck, after Xin Ruyin knelt on him a few times, his luck would not increase, but would be destroyed by the kneeling...

This is what Zhao Yun feels is the most incredible thing!
Maybe he picked up a reincarnation of a god, or some other amazing thing. It was a bit too unreasonable...

Zhao Yun did not tell Master Sun everything, because it involved the power of yellow cloth and the ability to see other people's fortunes, which could not be explained.

The two men mounted their horses and walked slowly into the Sinongjian.

After Zhao Yun was arranged accommodation, Sun Zhengxuan let him rest first.

Then Sun Zhengxuan and Zhang Sinong came together again and talked about some things...

Zhao Yun entered the assigned room, checked the room, and sensed the earth's energy and veins under the room.

After making sure that everything was safe, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and lay down on the bed. The scene of his luck growing that he had seen earlier flashed back in his mind.

"I wonder if Commander Wang, who cheated me, will be in big trouble after my luck increases?"

"But then again, if I hadn't gone to the horse market last night, I would probably still be sleeping soundly in the guard post this morning. There would be no reason for me to come to the county town so early in the morning, and naturally I wouldn't have met Xin Ruyin, a person with such great luck." "Luck is a mysterious thing, and it's a little bit mysterious between a bite and a drink."

“Is this what fortune and misfortune mean?”

Zhao Yun rolled over again, got up from the bed, and took out the volume on the true intentions of the Taotie magic.

Master Sun had also specifically instructed him about this Taotie method, and that he must master it before King You's banquet tomorrow!

At least make sure that the poison you take won't harm your body...

"Alas, I was hurriedly taken to the horse market last night and kept under house arrest for the whole night. This really delayed my practice."

While Zhao Yun was practicing, in the horse market, a group of people who were dressed in civilian clothes but behaved in a very dignified manner, saw their caravans collecting rare and exotic animals from various countries being taken away by the constables and garrison soldiers. They were very annoyed!

But in the end, he calmly watched the soldiers empty the goods from his caravan, amidst the ridicule and laughter.

The leader of the caravan took out a mirror different from the ones used by ordinary officials and recorded the scenes before him one by one...

However, when the leader of the caravan saw the golden eagle being taken away from a huge cage made of divine dragon wood, he became completely angry and embarrassed.

Then, the captured scene footage would be reported directly to the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth!
However, some people were blind and shouted in front of the leader of the caravan: "Where did you get so many rare and precious animals from a small caravan with no background? I think this golden eagle looks pretty good. Does anyone know how to cook this golden eagle so that its meat is delicious?"

"You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of getting your teeth bared? My golden eagle is rare even in the Canglan Grassland, but it must be offered as a tribute to the higher-ups. Tell this to the commander of your garrison and see how he reacts!"

"Oh! Why do you need to tell my commander? It's just a matter of eating your eagle, so I can't make the decision?"

"I'm afraid that you don't have enough strength to even break a feather from this golden-winged eagle..." the leader of the caravan said sarcastically.

"Haha, I'm not stupid. I've never seen such a golden eagle before. I think it can be sold for a good price. I can't bear to kill it and eat it... But your small caravan is suspected of smuggling golden eagles and selling various rare treasures, which is a violation of the rules. My commander has received orders from above to investigate all illegal activities in the horse market. You are under the gun, but you still don't know it. You dare to talk to me like this. Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

The leader of the caravan saw that the golden-winged eagle was safe for the time being and didn't want to waste any more time talking to these soldiers.

Moreover, he had just recorded some images with the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, which was enough to make him cry poor to the higher-ups...

The imperial merchant was robbed by soldiers at dawn.

And the Emperor Mu, who was in the capital of gods, learned about this matter in the early morning.

That royal caravan traveled from country to country, with the main purpose of collecting information from various countries. Of course, it also helped him make a little money and collect some rare and precious animals from heaven and earth.

The main purpose of this caravan's return is to transport the golden-winged Roc, which is rarely seen in a century!
Of course, Emperor Mu commanded the world in the capital, so what kind of treasure had he not seen?

There was also a royal caravan that made a special trip to transport the golden eagle back, but they actually had another purpose.

So privately, this golden-winged Roc is not the focus; the focus is the bloody cage that imprisoned the Golden-winged Roc!
That cage contains secrets that others cannot imagine...

In addition, after Zhang Zhouling reported the crisis on the border island, Emperor Mu also confirmed the closure of all entrances and exits and official roads on the border island of Beiliang.

The imperial merchant who disguised himself as a commoner naturally did not use any other means to pass in order to continue to appear ordinary.

For this reason, the imperial merchant stayed near Yanshan County, just as a holiday for his men...

However, precisely because of this, Emperor Mu had been paying close attention to the situation in Yanshan County, and thus he accidentally learned some anecdotes about Zhao Yun and others.

"In this small Yanshan County, there have been many incidents, which is beyond my expectation."

"Also, the events I heard about recently all have something to do with that young historian Zhao Yun."

"It seems that Zhao Yun is about to have great fortune... Never mind. In just one or two days, Zhao Yun will be rewarded. By then, the fortune of our Great Zhou will be infused into him!"

"Then I will be able to control the destiny and conduct a thorough investigation. By then, no matter if it is evil spirits or demons, they will be exposed under the observation of destiny!"

"But what is more important right now is that the little commander of the guard station dared to openly snatch the golden-winged eagle, and the secrets hidden in the cage that imprisoned the golden eagle must not be revealed..."

Immediately, Emperor Mu traced the cause and effect, and through the many pieces of information stored in the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, he looked for a series of contacts between Commander Wang and various local officials yesterday.

In the end, Emperor Mu followed the clues and found many layers of relationships.

But the most obvious one is Zhang Zhouling who stands in the open.

When Emperor Mu avoided the important issues and threw one piece of information after another into Zhang Zhouling's Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, Zhang Zhouling was also shocked when he received the information.

Zhang Zhouling thought to himself, "Why is this not consistent with what Commander Wang said yesterday? And the emperor actually knew about this faster than I did?"

"Could it be that Commander Wang made something out of proportion during the execution of the incident, and someone reported it directly to the Emperor?"

"But who in a small county town has the authority to directly connect to the emperor... Is it King You? But King You and his men still have one day to reach Yanmen Pass."

"Hey, Commander Wang said he was going to mobilize troops to guard against powerful assassins, but what's going on now? Even the emperor knows about this. I'm afraid he's really in big trouble..."

Suddenly, Zhang Zhouling's Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror flashed with light, and he found that the Grand Minister of Agriculture of Beiliang Bianzhou, Jing Minister of Agriculture Jing Yuchan, had sent him a letter:
After checking the source of the information, it turned out that it was a complaint filed by Sun Zhengxuan, a Si Nong of Wuyang Guard Station in Yanshan County, together with Li Hongnong, the logistics director of Wuyang Guard Station, and Zhang Changqing, the supervisor of the Si Nong Supervisor of Yanshan County, to Jing Yuchan, the Grand Si Nong of Beiliang Bianzhou!

Besides, Zhang Changqing, the supervisor of the Yanshan County Sinong Supervisor, was a member of his family who had been sent there...
