Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 69 No one but money

In two months, it will be Emperor Tianwu's 80th birthday.

The late Emperor Shengde died at the age of fifty-six, and the current Emperor Tianwu lived to be eighty years old, which is considered a long life among all the emperors of the Daqian Dynasty.

One can imagine how bustling the city of Kyoto will be in two months.

Now the entire Daqian Kingdom is making preparations for Your Majesty's birthday, not to mention the dukes and officials in the capital.

Outside the capital city of Kyoto, in the nine provinces of Daqian, each prefecture has been busy preparing birthday gifts to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday.

This won’t work if I don’t send it to you.

Because the Five Marquises and Thousand Years old men around His Majesty had already asked the eunuchs from the East Factory to go to the provincial capital to supervise the matter.

The eunuchs in the Eastern Depot can squeeze water out of stone and scrape out ointment from the poorest places.

Now, some nearby prefectures have already escorted the birthday gift to Kyoto city.

Most of these birthday gifts were transported by water, entering the capital from the west city wharf via the Beijing Grand Canal, so they naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of Zhao Qi'an.

The amount of silver and cargo hidden on each ship was secretly recorded, and Zhao Qi'an reviewed them all.

It can only be described in four words - shocking!
On His Majesty's birthday, the Zhao family of Donghai would naturally not remain silent, and they had already prepared a birthday gift to be escorted to the capital.

Donghai’s relatives had written to him to discuss how much silver and precious treasures to give.

Only when he nods can this matter be settled.

However, the person in charge of escorting the birthday gift from the Zhao family in Donghai should have been his trusted confidant Haiwei who he left in Donghai.

Now that Master Tie is leaving, it is reasonable for the family to send another priest to replace him and escort the birthday gift to the capital at the same time.

Zhao Qian had no reason to refuse.

Although he didn't seem to care much about Master Tie's reminder, he still took the matter to heart.

……

"A Chou, send these things to the backyard. I've marked who they are for, so don't send them to the wrong person."

Zhao Qian pointed at the remaining boxes that had not been opened and gave instructions to the ugly slave.

These boxes are much smaller than other boxes, but the things inside are many times more precious.

This is specially prepared for several young masters and young ladies.

Zhao Nishang and Zhao Guanxiang have both left the temple to work, and can directly get the monthly training needs from the Zhao family's business. And the newly recruited Zhao Lingyun is now with Dean An, so he doesn't have to worry about him.

There are still four adopted sons and daughters in Yangsheng Hall who have not yet left the hall.

This is his child. Although they are not related by blood, he treats them as his own children. They are also some of the most talented people in the world.

Zhao Qi'an naturally would not underestimate their training.

Although he couldn't personally cultivate every person, fortunately he was very rich.

Fortunately, fifty years ago, the current emperor built the Heavenly Book Pavilion and collected all the martial arts in the world. Now, almost all the martial arts of the sects and families in Daqian are in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

Kung Fu is no longer a barrier on the road of martial arts practice.

As long as there is a martial art in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Zhao Qi'an can find someone to copy it out.

The most advanced skills, the most precious elixir, the most powerful weapon, the best teacher...

Zhao Qi'an can find them all for them. This is how he trains these geniuses.

There is nothing else but money.

The ugly slave responded and went over to move the boxes.

She was quite curious about the young masters and young ladies who had not yet left the Health Hall.

She had followed Zhao Qian'an for a year. Although she would accompany Zhao Qian'an to the Health Hall every month, among the several young masters and young ladies in the hall, only Zhao Chengwu could be seen frequently.

As for the others, she had never seen them once. Zhao Qi'an always went to the backyard alone and never let her follow him. Unexpectedly, this time, the master asked her to deliver the things in person. She didn't know what the remaining young masters and young ladies looked like.

Just as the ugly slave picked up the box and was about to go out, he heard Zhao Qi'an admonishing him from behind: "Put the portion for the Sixth Young Master in his room. No matter what he says, don't respond. No matter what he does, pretend you didn't see it. Don't be afraid. He won't hurt you."

The ugly slave's body stiffened.

what?
What does the master mean by this instruction?
Is the Sixth Young Master some kind of monster?

How could I be afraid of a child? She's super brave, okay?

But seeing Zhao Qian'an's serious expression when he explained the matter, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She was curious but also a little nervous.

Zhao Qi'an added, "Just leave the portion for Miss Seven in the courtyard. Don't come into contact with her, especially not physically. If you really don't want to have any contact, remember to find a place to wash up and change into clean clothes in time, otherwise..."

He stroked his chin, thought for a while and shook his head, "It's nothing serious, at most I got hurt a little, lost a purse or something."

What? Lost the purse?!

The ugly slave had a solemn expression on his face, and in his mind he silently ranked the danger level of the Seventh Young Lady higher than that of the Sixth Young Master.

She waited for a while, but before Zhao Qi'an mentioned the last person, she tactfully reminded him, "Master, there is one more person... Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Zhao Qi'an thought for a moment and said, "You can give Miss Eight's share to her wet nurse. If she likes you, you can play with her for a while, but don't waste time, you still have to go back home."

Chou Nu felt relieved, it seemed that the Eighth Miss was normal.

However, the master's order is really unnecessary.

She hated children the most, so how could she play with them until she forgot the time...

……

After the ugly slave left with the box, Zhao Qi'an ordered someone to find Zhao Chengwu.

After waiting in the front hall for a while, Zhao Chengwu came excitedly.

"Father."

He entered the front hall, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Qian'an and greeted him.

This child is honest and sincere. When he says he will kowtow, he really does it, and his kowtow makes a lot of "bang bang" sounds.

After kowtowed three times, Zhao Chengwu stood up and grinned at Zhao Qian'an.

Zhao Qi'an glanced at him and said, "Have you refined the blood evil?"

Zhao Chengwu said happily: "Yes, thanks to Master Tie, who personally accompanied me in practicing for a few days, I was able to master my own blood evil so quickly."

Warriors starting from the eighth level of blood moving stage must offer sacrifices to refine their blood essence.

When one reaches the sixth level of evil spirit transformation, the blood in the body is already filled with "Gang Sha". The bloody evil spirit of an orthodox warrior is the best way to defeat the evil spirits in the world.

When a warrior first enters the realm of transforming evil spirits, his blood evil will inevitably leak out. Only after he has completely refined his own blood evil can he achieve the state of "not leaking out".

Zhao Qi'an only took a glance at Zhao Chengwu, and seeing that there was no blood evil leaking out of him in his every move, he knew that he had completely controlled his own blood evil.

Having reached this stage on the path of martial arts, to move forward one would need to "draw external evil into the body and refine the whole body."

Zhao Chengwu looked at Zhao Qian'an expectantly. He wanted to say something, but felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled.

Zhao Qi'an knew what he was expecting.

Having reached the sixth level of the Evil-Dispelling Realm, Zhao Chengwu is already qualified to “leave the hall”.

Zhao Nishang and Zhao Guanxiang also reached the Huasha realm one after another before leaving Yangshengtang and were sent out by him to do work.

As for the arrangements for Zhao Chengwu after his release...

Zhao Qi'an had already made up his mind.
