Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!.

Chapter 38 Damn it, the Seventh Prince is so bold and presumptuous, it seems I have to leave!
"Damn it, how did Izumo City become like this!"

Wu Gui angrily poured himself a glass of wine and cursed, "These damn noble families only know how to bully poor independent cultivators like us. If they have the guts, go find that Thunder Spiritual Root cultivator and get into trouble!"

Wu Gui's voice was so loud that all the guests at the surrounding tables could hear it. But they did not feel dissatisfied, and instead toasted Wu Gui with a glass of wine.

"That's right, fellow Daoist is right! These noble families are all a bunch of idiots who have no eyes for giving birth to children!"

Wu Gui quickly raised his glass in return. Although the two parties did not know each other, they had surprisingly similar views on some issues.

Xiao Yunshan rolled his eyes at Wu Gui and said, "Alright, it's not like you haven't experienced this before."

"Doesn't the price increase every few years? The reason used each time is different. This time it's just ahead of schedule."

Jiang Shun said depressedly at this time: "The price of goods has increased every few years, but my salary has not increased. If this continues, I will even have to mix Yunbo wine with water."

Wu Gui came up to Xiao Yunshan and said, "Old Xiao, why don't you talk to Fellow Daoist Zhang and ask if he can extend his loan a little longer?"

"What the hell do you want?" Xiao Yunshan took the initiative to protect Zhang Wei and said, "Who raised the price in the first place? What did you do if you regret it now?"

Then he sighed faintly and said, "It's not easy for Xiaofan either. He spent so much money to buy the formula of Moyun Shuttle from you, hoping to make a profit from it.

In the end, the first batch of customers we found were you. Because of our acquaintance, they gave us a discount and were willing to let us pay in installments, only asking us to pay 20 taels of spirit stones every month. But you are still not satisfied. Don't be too greedy. "

"You should know that flying magic weapons are extremely rare. If you don't want to buy one, there are plenty of people who are willing to buy it!"

"I know, I know……"

Wu Gui sighed, "Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have even given up on the two magic weapons. But who would have thought that after only a few days, he had already refined the Moyun Shuttle. His talent for refining weapons is simply too good."

“Yohoho——”

At this moment, Wu Gui and others heard a loud shouting voice coming from outside Zuixian Tower. The timbre of the voice was very familiar, and it was coming towards them quickly.

Then, they heard a burst of exclamations from outside. Wu Gui and the others understood that the person had returned.

Speak of the devil, and the next moment, two familiar people appeared at the door of Zuixianlou, and on their shoulders, each of them was carrying a spindle-shaped wooden board magic weapon as tall as a person.

“Wow, cool!”

Si Junpeng, with his hair messed up by the wind, sat down at the table, holding the Moyunsuo in his hand lovingly and said, "Xiao Fan, your craftsmanship is really amazing! I will ask you to refine my magic weapon in the future!"

"As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine. Of course, I can't refine many magic weapons here. If you want to refine some rare magic weapons, I can't do anything for you." Zhang Wei said with a smile after sitting down.

A month later, Zhang Wei refined two more Moyun Shuttles. Except for the one given to Xiao Yunshan, he gave the remaining one to Si Junpeng after some discussion.

After all, Jiang Shun mainly works at the Izumo Shell Field, and he doesn't need the Moyun Shuttle as much as Si Junpeng, the monster catcher.

The Moyun Shuttle is actually a necessity for Si Junpeng. After all, most of a monster hunter's time is not spent fighting monsters, but on the road. If he had such a magic weapon that made it easier to travel, his monster hunting efficiency would be at least three times higher.

Not to mention the magic weapon and maintenance ability provided by a weapon refiner to guarantee the combat power of the monster catcher. So now Zhang Wei is almost as dear to Si Junpeng as his own father.

However, in reality, for Zhang Wei, after mastering the trick, he was able to refine the Moyun Shuttle quite quickly. And after taking the Poqiao Lingdan and opening the nine major acupoints on his body, the efficiency of refining magic weapons was further improved.

Basically one piece can be refined in one night.

If Zhang Wei hadn't been worried about the news getting out and causing unnecessary associations, and also to avoid the limelight, he wouldn't have waited a month to return to Izumo City.

However, even so, Zhang Wei's efficiency in making two Moyunsuo magic weapons in a month still shocked Xiao Yunshan and Si Junpeng, who exclaimed that Zhang Wei was a weapon-refining genius!

At this time, Wu Gui raised his glass and said, "Friend Zhang, I was blinded by greed in the past and offended you because I didn't recognize the great man. Please forgive me."

Zhang Wei smiled and raised his glass to clink with Wu Gui, saying, "What are you talking about? If it weren't for your recipe, I wouldn't be able to refine this Moyun Shuttle."

Wu Gui heard this and struck while the iron was hot, "Then what is the price of this Moyun Shuttle..."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Eight hundred taels of spirit stones, no bargaining."

Wu Gui's face turned bitter, and he cried poorly, "Talking about money is too hurtful."

Zhang Wei smiled and poured Wu Gui a glass of wine, saying, "But falling in love costs money."

Wu Gui: “…”

Seeing Wu Gui being humiliated, Xiao Yunshan and his friends burst into laughter, and then they drank three rounds of wine and ate five kinds of dishes. Xiao Yunshan drunkenly asked, "By the way, Old Wu, what were you doing recently? I wanted to find you but couldn't find you."

Wu Guize replied: "Oh, nothing, I went to Yundu to do some things. Which child of the Emperor Yun is it? Yes, the Seventh Prince!

I don't know where he got these wolf demons, five in the early stage of Qi Refining and one in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and asked me to draw some sealing talismans to suppress them.

Afterwards, he gave me 1,000 taels of silver as a reward, and at the end he was reluctant to let me go, insisting that I stay at his place for a while. The Seventh Prince’s kindness was hard to refuse, and I was delayed and even missed our auction.”

"Look, he's making money again, but he's still crying poor to you, Xiaofan, give him a temporary price increase." Si Junpeng pointed at Wu Gui and said with a smile, "You're still talking about being too kind to refuse, I think you've been blinded by the glamorous world of the secular palace, right?"

Xiao Yunshan was also shocked and said, "Hey, one thousand taels of silver, is this Seventh Prince stupid? Why did he ask you to draw the sealing talisman?"

Wu Gui rolled his eyes at Xiao Yunshan and said, "How many talisman masters are there in the entire Chuyunfang City? If not me, would they look for you, a first-class upper-class one? Isn't this a waste of talent? Or do you want to go?"

Wu Gui smiled slyly at this time and said, "If you want to go, I'll take you with me next time. The prerequisite is that you can withstand Miss Qin's anger."

Xiao Yunshan coughed a few times, picked up the wine glass and said, "Ahem... drink, drink..."

A few of them also turned the page. After all, given their relationship and situation, there was no need to be so serious about such matters between friends.

However, little did people know that as Zhang Wei lowered his head to drink, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Seventh Prince... wolf demon..."

That night, Zhang Wei returned to Yundu and pondered the information he had learned from Wu Gui under the light. His expression became more and more solemn.

As the most powerful family among the secular forces of the Yun Kingdom, the Yun Kingdom's royal family, the Luo family, has much more connections than his Zhang family, a powerful landlord.

Zhang Wei was not surprised that he could contact the immortal cultivators in Izumo City. It was even very likely that he would invite several independent cultivators to leave the spiritual energy provided by the spiritual veins of Izumo City and directly guard the imperial palace.

In this case, it was a bit abnormal for a prince to imprison several monsters in his mansion and ask forces other than the royal worshipers to draw the sealing talisman.

You can't be so bored that you want to raise a group of demon wolves as pets, right?
Recently, when Zhang Wei was still hanging out in the Imperial College, he heard a piece of news that the Emperor of Yun had decided to hold an autumn hunting convention at the royal hunting ground outside Yundu after the beginning of autumn in order to demonstrate his martial virtues, and had invited all the dignitaries in Yundu to participate.

As they associated the two things, a conspiracy theory popped up in Zhang Wei's mind.

"That Seventh Prince... wouldn't he want to release the monster into the hunting grounds and use this opportunity to eliminate other competitors?"

Zhang Wei's association was not groundless. As the saying goes, the imperial family is the most ruthless. Even brothers and sisters from ordinary families would fight over the distribution of property, let alone the struggle for the throne.

You should know that Emperor Yun is now over fifty years old. Among all the monarchs of the Yun Kingdom, Emperor Yun is considered to be very old.

In addition, since Yang Guifei had been favored by the emperor for many years and had been lingering in the harem, people said that he had suddenly died of a stroke one day, and many people inside and outside the court believed it.

However, under such circumstances, the position of the crown prince has not been decided yet. The oldest, the third prince, is already thirty-five years old. It is no wonder that the other princes are wavering.

But if that was all, Zhang Wei wouldn't have taken it so seriously. But the problem was that on the day of the Autumn Hunting Conference, his third uncle Zhang Hui was also on the list of participants!

If the Seventh Prince really releases the demon wolf, then his uncle will be in danger. After all, you can't expect the demon wolf to listen to the Seventh Prince and only bite his brothers, right?

"Damn it! The Seventh Prince is so bold, I have to leave!"

Zhang Wei cursed and said that this was a matter of his third uncle's life and he could not afford to be careless!

So the next day, Zhang Wei went out and made a rare trip to the Minister's Mansion to tell Zhang Hui that he wanted to participate in the Autumn Hunting Competition. Zhang Hui was a little surprised and asked, "You are going to participate in the Autumn Hunting?"

Then he sneered and said meaningfully, "Why do you suddenly want to participate in this? Aren't you a person who turns a deaf ear to the outside world and only focuses on reading the books of sages? Why, do you want to integrate knowledge and action and appeal to those wild beasts in the mountains and forests to your own principles?"

When Zhang Wei heard what his uncle said, he realized that Zhang Hui had been noticing his behavior during this period, and that he was intentionally trying to warn Zhang Hui about this otaku thing.

Zhang Wei apologized with a smile: "Uncle San, please don't laugh at me. I did that just to get rid of their moral blackmail."

"I've been studying so much lately that my brain is swollen, so I wanted to go out for a walk to relax. I just happened to hear that Emperor Yun was going to hold an autumn hunting competition, so I came here with a smug look on my face to see if you can take your nephew to see the world."

"Moral kidnapping? Your description is quite appropriate."

Zhang Hui stroked his beard and said, "Since you want to come, then come. Anyway, your brothers and sisters are weak and pedantic scholars. Bringing them over would only embarrass me. But..."

Then Zhang Hui changed the subject and said, "But I have to warn you in advance. When you get to the hunting ground, don't get into a conflict with others like you did when you first entered the Imperial College! After all, they all have swords and weapons! Swords have no eyes!"

Zhang Wei knew that his uncle was concerned about him, so he immediately agreed: "Nephew understands!"

He was about to leave, but Zhang Hui seemed to have thought of something and stopped him, "There's one more thing!"

Zhang Hui said seriously: "Remember, don't hunt too big prey, just hunt some rabbits and pheasants, don't hunt deer, wild boars, etc. if you see them!"

Zhang Wei asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Zhang Hui snorted and explained, "Those big prey are prepared for the princes! They want to show off in front of Emperor Yun. If you, an outsider, get involved, wouldn't that just be a stunt for them?"

Zhang Wei suddenly realized something and looked like he had learned something. No wonder his uncle was able to become a high-ranking official. His understanding of the ways of the world was something that young people like them could not compare to.

Just like that, after the uncle and nephew had discussed it, another month passed. As the autumn air came out of the mountains and forests, the autumn hunting competition started as scheduled.

As early as a month ago, the guards stationed in Yundu City began to mobilize, and tens of thousands of guards armed to the teeth surrounded the royal hunting ground in the suburbs.

There were also special patrol warriors who searched the mountains and the sea, and killed any threatening ferocious wild beasts in advance to ensure the safety of Emperor Yun and the nobles of the Yun Kingdom.

So when Zhang Wei followed Zhang Hui to the entrance of the hunting ground, what he saw was not a desolate place, but a huge camp that was well-organized and well-dressed soldiers patrolling back and forth.

However, in Zhang Wei's eyes, these soldiers only looked mighty, but lacked bloodiness, so they were not the elite of the border army.

It's fine to use it to prevent assassinations by martial arts masters, but if a successful cultivator takes action, then Emperor Yun, who is under the protection of a heavy army, may not be safe.

However, it is estimated that no successful cultivator would be so idle as to assassinate the emperor. After all, many of their cultivation resources can only be produced in a stable social environment. If the world is really in chaos, it will not be good for most cultivators.

"Minister Zhang!"

Just after Zhang Wei followed Zhang Hui into the camp, a hearty greeting came from afar.

Zhang Wei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pot-bellied, rough-looking old man walking towards him with two sturdy middle-aged men.

Zhang Wei took a closer look and knew that these two middle-aged men were martial artists. If they were in the martial arts world, they would definitely be famous knights.

When he saw the newcomer, Zhang Hui's cold expression also showed a rare smile, and he saluted the newcomer and said, "Mr. Zuo!"

Then he introduced Zhang Wei: "Zijie, this is the Minister of War Zuo Hang, Zuo Gong."

Zhang Wei understood and immediately bowed and said, "Zhang Wei greets Zuo Gong."

Zuo Gong laughed loudly, and his heroic look made him look more like a military officer than a civil official. He then praised: "This is your nephew who manages the river, Zhang Wei, Zhang Zijie? I see today that he is indeed a handsome man! If you become an official in the future, are you interested in coming to my place?"

"He's going to be an official? He should pass the imperial examination first." Without waiting for Zhang Wei to speak, Zhang Hui snorted coldly and belittled himself.

Zuo Hang waved his hands and sneered, "Minister Zhang, you can fool others, but you can't fool me.

I don't know what your nephew is like? Not only is he a martial arts expert, he is also a top-notch talent. This scholar's reputation must not be a problem for him! It's not a big deal to go to the Golden Palace.

I dare not say that the first place, but the third place is definitely a piece of cake for Zijie!"

As he said this, he winked at Zhang Wei, trying to tease him.

This old man has good vision!
Zhang Wei thought to himself that he felt very satisfied with Zuo Hang's praise.

After all, the Tanhualang has a special nature. People may doubt the Tanhualang's literary talent, but they will never doubt his appearance!
This little old man is bragging about how handsome he is!
But Zhang Wei remained calm on the surface, just responded with a faint smile, showing that he was not easily surprised by praise or criticism.

While Zhang Hui, his nephew, and Zuo Hang were chatting, a pair of beautiful eyes swept over from behind a nearby tent.

"It's him?"

Although a month has passed, Luo Hongxia still has a deep memory of the man who helped her catch her cheating, because of Zhang Wei's blunt pointing out that her phoenix hairpin was a cheap item that day.

It's just that he claimed to be a good man that day, and he looked quite frustrated as he walked on the street of brothels and red houses, as if the world was destroyed.

Seeing that, Luo Hongxia thought it was some scholar who was frustrated in Yundu City and was working in a brothel to relieve his troubles.

But today, he was chatting happily with Zuo Hang, the Minister of War, behind Zhang Hui, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. His confident and calm appearance was in stark contrast to that day.

If Luo Hongxia still doesn't know that the name she got that day was a fake, then her brain must be completely elsewhere.

"Should I say thank you to him in person?"

Luo Hongxia was very conflicted and wanted to thank Zhang Wei in person. But when she saw the two high-ranking officials, Zhang Shilang and Zuo Shangshu, beside him, and thought about her own situation, she didn't dare to take a step.

Just as Luo Hongxia was standing there hesitating to move forward, a figure in a golden python robe came up behind her, surrounded by a group of servants.

Seeing Luo Hongxia's sneaky look, the owner of the figure couldn't help but frown, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But when he followed Luo Hongxia's gaze and saw who she was looking at, his brows relaxed again.

He then put on a smiling face, walked behind Luo Hongxia, and said, "Sixth sister?"

Hearing the movement behind her, Luo Hongxia quickly turned around, and after seeing the person behind her clearly, she greeted, "Fifth Brother?"

"What are you looking at?"

The fifth prince asked knowingly, then turned his head slightly to look behind Luo Hongxia and said in a surprised voice: "Zijie?"

Luo Hongxia asked subconsciously: "Brother, do you know him?"

The fifth prince smiled and said, "Of course I know him. He is Zhang Wei, the famous talent in Luyang County. He just came to Yundu two months ago. I happened to meet him on the day he came, and I wanted to invite him to my house for a chat. Unfortunately, he just arrived in Yundu and was busy settling down, so he didn't come. There was no further news later."

Then he asked, "Why, Sixth Sister, do you know him too?"

"Is such that……"

Facing the gaze of the Fifth Prince, Luo Hongxia thought for a moment and then told him what happened at the Yunyan River Bank.

After listening to Luo Hongxia's story, the Fifth Prince clapped his hands and said, "I see. Then Zhang Zijie has helped you once. In that case, Sixth Sister, why don't you go with me to meet Zijie and thank him in person?"

Luo Hongxia: "Ah?"

Luo Hongxia was somewhat at a loss as to what to do with the Fifth Prince's enthusiasm, which was completely different from before. But the Fifth Prince did not give her time to react, and directly took her hand and walked towards Zhang Wei.

The force was so strong that it hurt her a little.
