Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 17: Incident at the Villa
Soon, evening arrived.

"Brother Xu, you don't have anything else to do today, right? Since we all have nothing to do, why don't we go to Zuixianlou?" Chen Changhe walked into the room where the station was stationed and immediately took off his guard robe.

Since it was time for a day off, it was natural for Xu Hao to treat me to a meal.

"Okay, I'll treat you tonight at Zuixianlou!" Xu Hao stood up and agreed without hesitation.

This opportunity has some risks, so in order to protect himself, Xu Hao decided to follow the steps of winning the lottery first, travel during off-peak hours, and avoid any risk.

As for the best Earth-level opportunity, he was asked to go there after midnight. As for how long after midnight, it was up to him.

And even if he really didn't get it, Xu Hao wouldn't force it. He would take it slowly. There would always be a risk-free opportunity waiting for him.

Although he was eager to improve his cultivation and strength and control his own destiny before the Great Xuan Dynasty collapsed, he also knew that it could not be achieved overnight.

What's more, the Daxuan Dynasty is now in ruins and on the verge of collapse at any time, but it will take time for such a large dynasty to collapse completely.

Especially if there is a female emperor who will succeed to the throne in the future, there is no need to risk your life now.

"Then I'll go reserve a seat!" Chen Changhe spoke immediately when he saw Xu Hao agreed.

"Let's go together!" Xu Hao put away the booklet of cultivation techniques and walked out with Chen Changhe.

Outside the entire Imperial Palace Avenue, except for some guards who need to be on duty at night, everyone else is either going to eat or taking turns on duty.

In Villa No. 27, a figure who looked like a palace maid was sitting quietly in the master bedroom of the villa. Then she took out a knife, cut her palm, and drops of blood seeped out, staining the entire ground red.

hum.

The gullies and lines formed there exuded a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Soon, array patterns appeared one after another, as if communicating with the void, causing some phantoms to appear in the room.

There are mountains and people in the shadows, as well as dilapidated buildings. Inside these buildings, there are some strange shadows constantly shuttling back and forth.

Then, at a certain moment, the many ghostly shadows that were moving around stopped and looked towards the location of the room. Then, a shrill scream rang out, detonating the entire illusory world.

Boom boom boom.

Villa No. 27 was silent and the aura could not escape, but the slightest movement still affected the surroundings.

"Hmm?" Tang Wan'er, who was walking on the avenue of the palace and preparing to investigate Xu Hao, stopped immediately, then she jumped and landed on the roof of a villa.

She looked straight at Villa No. 27.

She was born with a certain physique that made it very easy for her to practice Taoist techniques. Although she was still in the stage of nurturing her spiritual roots, she could now clearly feel the fluctuations in space and the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even though the spiritual energy in this world today is not as rich as in ancient times, it can still allow some people with excellent qualifications to cultivate to a high level.

This is also the reason why Tang Wan'er is valued by the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would find a pillow when I was sleepy. I can also use this opportunity to test Xu Hao. Kill two birds with one stone!" Tang Wan'er looked excited.

This location, this area, is exactly where Xu Hao is stationed.

Tang Wan'er was ready to fight, but she did not act rashly. Instead, she turned and ran towards the Pacification Office, because if there really was an undercover spy like the White Lotus Sect, she would be unable to deal with it alone.

She never fights a battle without confidence, and she will catch them all in one fell swoop, leaving no chance of escaping.

At the same time, Xu Hao, Chen Changhe and others came to Zuixianlou.

"Excuse me, how many people are there?" A waiter came over tactfully, with a face full of respect and flattery.

The people should not fight against the officials, let alone a group of imperial guards.

"Give me a first-class private room." Chen Changhe said immediately.

"Yes, please come this way!" The waiter bowed and invited him.

Soon, the group entered the private room and drank heartily, enjoyed delicious food, and talked about everything under the sun.

The conversation among the men soon turned to women.
One of them took the opportunity to speak directly, "Hey, Brother Xu, I heard that a remarkable woman has arrived on the pleasure boat on the Black Water River. She's a master at playing the qin and flute, and has attracted quite a few young talents recently. I wonder if you'd be interested in seeing her?"

"Forget it. You said you are a young talent. How can I be qualified?" Xu Hao took a sip of the fine wine and felt relaxed all over.

I have to say, the wine from this ancient extraordinary world is really delicious.

In just a short while, he drank a whole pot.

It feels almost the same as a drink, and can be mixed to strengthen the body.

Chen Changhe said, "Brother Xu is already a human-level expert at such a young age, and he's also a small flag of the Imperial Guard. If you're not a young hero, who is?"

"Yes, Brother Xu, please don't underestimate yourself."

Others quickly agreed.

"Haha, since everyone praises it so much, I'll go and take a look if I get a chance, just to see the world!" Xu Hao couldn't refuse, so he smiled naturally.

He actually also wanted to experience some ancient entertainment.

After all, if you only practice and have money but don’t spend it, wouldn’t that be like walking in the night in fine clothes?

The group immediately decided to go there on a certain day and invited everyone to go after dinner.

"Okay!" Xu Hao looked at the sky and did not refuse.

Isn’t it just listening to music in a brothel?

Just enjoy yourself today. When the battle in the palace is over, it will be the perfect time for him to look for opportunities.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and started eating and drinking quickly.

It was not until one o'clock in the evening that Xu Hao got up and called the waiter.

"Sir, the total is thirty-one taels. Just give me thirty taels!" The waiter took out the bill and handed it to Xu Hao respectfully.

"Brother Xu, thank you for the money!"

Amidst the compliments from his friends around him, Xu Hao took out some silver and handed it to the waiter.

Anyway, money comes easily, so why not spend it?

The goal is just to have fun.

"Let's go to the Black Water River pleasure boat!" Xu Hao took the lead and walked out of Zuixianlou.

Like the moon surrounded by stars, Chen Changhe and others guarded Xu Hao in the center and quickly ran towards the Black Water River.

The Black Water River is a huge river outside the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

It spread all the way to the distant gathering places outside the capital.

Even at night, both sides of the Black Water River are brightly lit.

Especially on the Black Water River, there are countless ships docked there, and the lanterns on them illuminate the entire surface of the Black Water River.

Xu Hao and others came to the bank of the Black Water River and were looking for the pleasure boat with the strange woman. Suddenly, there was a loud thunderous sound in the distance.

Xu Hao and others immediately looked up and saw a sharp blood light rising into the sky from the direction of the imperial palace.

"Oh no, something happened in the palace!" Chen Changhe looked horrified.

"Go back!" Xu Hao took a deep breath, pretended to be shocked, and didn't bother to look for the flower boat anymore.
