Seeing that the Anbu were too far away to hear the conversation, Ouyang Shuo suggested:
"Let me go meet the emperor first. If something unexpected happens, you will have time to respond."
Ouyang Shuo planned to go and check it out first.
After hearing Ouyang Shuo's words, no one knew what to say.
Seeing that everyone looked worried, Ouyang Shuo said fearlessly:
"This should have been my business, but now I have Lord Zhang Liang to back me up."
In Ouyang Shuo's mind, Zhang Liang is the trump card to prevent war. He must not be used casually, and no mistakes can be made.
Moreover, facing this war, Ouyang Shuo had already put his life and death aside. If he could bring back some information, it would be worth it.
Ouyang Shuo told everyone about his plan.
"I plan to go with Bai Huo after he wakes up. With him around, the emperor won't do anything to me right away."
After hearing Ouyang Shuo's words, Zhang Liang thought about it carefully.
If Ouyang Shuo were to take the lead, it would indeed buy some time.
Whether investigating the emperor or spreading rumors, it can be done at the same time.
In this way, the possibility of preventing war will be greatly increased.
It works.
Then, it was decided.
Now there is a new problem.
What was missing was a reasonable excuse. How could he convince the emperor that Zhang Liang had no choice but to let Ouyang Shuo take his place because he was unable to cope with so many tasks?
"Ding Dong~"
Just as Zhang Liang was lost in thought over this question, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Zhang Liang opened the door and found a letter delivered by the administrator of the villa area.
When he opened it, Zhang Liang was shocked by the contents inside.
I can't even understand a single word.
"······"
Just when Zhang Liang fell silent, Xi Lan saw his embarrassment.
Now that Teacher Bai is not here and Ying can't read the letters, Xi Lan thinks that now is her chance to help.
"Let me do it."
Seeing that Xi Lan wanted to help, Zhang Liang didn't think much about it and gave her the letter directly.
"This letter is from a man named Gou Bi."
Speaking of this name, Zhang Liang remembered it.
When we were in the Maze Town, he was the one who sent me the letter to tell me about the auction, and he also asked me to spread the news that the Sword Dao Demon Lord would attend the auction.
Xi Lan opened the envelope, glanced around, then fell into a short silence and said:
"Can I skip the small talk? It's a bit long."
"Just get to the point."
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Xi Lan turned directly to the second page, glanced at it, and then turned to the third page.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
I complained in my mind: "How much bullshit did we have to talk about in this chat! Is this considered a little long?"
"It said that the underground auction would be held in two days. Unfortunately, he didn't get the [invitation] and was slapped in the face."
"Invitation? Did he say where to get it done?"
Xi Lan scanned the letter, searching for keywords, and then said:
"He said that if you want to get an invitation, you can only go to [Feng Yue Paradise] and find someone called [Sister Hua]."
"Feng Yue Tian Tang? I'm just attending an auction, why is there so much going on?"
You must participate in this auction and get the processing formula of [Demon-Repelling Steel Scales] there.
"It says, 'Underground Auction', just as the name implies, it's an illegal auction, there's a lot of stolen goods in it, and most people refuse to attend without an invitation."
The letter also recorded some auction items that Gou Bi had investigated. One of them made Xi Lan open her eyes wide in surprise and said excitedly:
"Everyone! Come and look at this!"
Xi Lan handed the letter to Xiaoye and others, pointing to the name of one of the items for auction.
"Ancient secret treasure, earrings that can read and distinguish colors."
Xiaoye read along with the text, and suddenly everyone realized the usefulness of the earring.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang even stood up excitedly.
This was what he was looking for, and he had previously posted a high-priced commission to the Adventure Guild to find this earring.
He never expected that this earring would appear at an auction.
This earring is very important to Ying, who has lost her sight. Compared to the formula of [Demon-Repelling Steel Scales], this earring is a hundred times, a thousand times more important.
Zhang Liang decided that no matter how much money he spent, even if it meant exhausting all his wealth, he had to get the earring.
"You have to go to the auction!"
At this point, Zhang Liang's eyes turned and he thought of an excuse to reject the emperor's invitation.
Afterwards, Zhang Liang called the Anbu in from the courtyard and said to him:
"Just tell the emperor that I'm going to attend the auction, and I'll let Uncle Ouyang go in my place this time."
"this···"
Since Zhang Liang's answer was not as good as the emperor expected, the Anbu was about to say something, but when he saw Zhang Liang staring at him, he wilted.
"I-I understand."
Afterwards, Zhang Liang asked the Anbu to stay in the yard.
Zhang Liang assigned tasks to everyone.
Ouyang Shuo waited at home for Bai Huo to wake up, and then followed the Anbu to meet the emperor and obtain as much information as possible about the emperor.
Zhang Liang and Ying go to Fengyue Paradise to get the invitation to the auction from Sister Hua.
As for the others, they all spread rumors.
After everything was arranged, everyone took action according to Zhang Liang's assignment.
······
Royal Capital Avenue.
"Zhang Liang..."
Zhang Liang was very excited when he heard about the earrings. His reaction warmed Ying's heart.
Ying sensed that everyone was gone, and with a slightly blushing face, she took Zhang Liang's wrist and held his hand.
Zhang Liang was surprised by Ying's behavior, but he did not refuse.
Smelling the refreshing fragrance, Zhang Liang held Ying's fair and delicate hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Just like that, the two of them walked down the street close together, their faces slightly red and their hearts pounding.
They looked like a loving couple, and everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw their shy expressions.
Passersby saw Ying's beautiful shy smile and left exclamations and praises.
At this time, Ying's heart was beating very fast.
In her eyes, this was the first time she walked arm in arm with Zhang Liang on the street, and it was also a date she had longed for.
It was so hard to be alone with Zhang Liang, and Ying didn't want to miss the opportunity to have Zhang Liang all to herself.
Ying held Zhang Liang's hand and closed her perception.
Turning on perception is very energy-consuming, and being able to take a break once in a while makes her feel relaxed and comfortable.
She trusted Zhang Liang completely, and she would follow him wherever he went. There was no need to open her perception at all.
After one hour.
Zhang Liang and Ying, who accidentally became addicted to the heartbeat date, suddenly discovered a serious problem.
They were so busy shopping that they forgot their original purpose.
After remembering this mission, they immediately started looking for Fengyue Paradise.
Then they discovered a more serious problem.
Since Zhang Liang could not read and Ying could not see, they walked on the street and had no idea where Fengyue Paradise was.
Even though the sign of Fengyue Paradise was right before his eyes, Zhang Liang did not recognize it, and Ying could not see it either.
At this time, Zhang Liang became more determined to get the earrings.
"By the way, Fengyue Paradise is the name of a store, right? What kind of store is it?"
Once you know what store it is, it will be much easier to find it.
"Uh..." Ying thought for a moment and replied, "It should be a hotel or restaurant with a nice view. With such a beautiful name, the location of this restaurant should be good."
Obviously, Zhang Liang and Ying's discussion did not produce accurate results.
Originally, Zhang Liang planned to use the text in the letter for comparison.
When he opened the letter, he found that it was full of unfamiliar words. Zhang Liang had no idea which words meant "Feng Yue Tian Tang".
"······"
It's really like a blind man and an illiterate man, he feels very confused when walking on the road.
Helpless, Zhang Liang had to ask passers-by where the paradise was.
As the saying goes, if you don’t understand, ask; if you have a mouth, you will find a way.
However···
Zhang Liang asked a few people, and they all looked at Ying and then frowned deeply.
The men all looked at Zhang Liang with contempt, and the women all looked at him with murderous eyes.
Their unified response to Zhang Liang was just one word: "Get lost!"
This completely confused Zhang Liang.
Even if I walk far away, I can still hear them yelling words like scumbag, scumbag, bastard, shameless, etc.
He just couldn't understand. He was just asking for directions, so why was he being scolded?
Could it be that my DeBuff has been upgraded again?
Finally I learned that the so-called "Paradise of Romance" was the most high-end romantic place in the empire, commonly known as a brothel!
"······"
"······"
After learning the answer, Zhang Liang and Ying fell silent.
Ying would definitely not come to such a place. Zhang Liang had problems getting food before, so it was even more impossible for him to come here.
So, they really don't know.
At this moment, Zhang Liang finally understood why he was looked down upon.
In the eyes of others, he was just taking his girlfriend to a brothel.
It works.
Zhang Liang had lived for several lifetimes, but this was the first time he felt that the scolding he received was not unfair.
Should!
