Chapter 395 Undercurrent surging
???

Xiao Ran looked at Lu Cheng, and after making sure that this guy was not joking with him, he looked at him puzzledly: "You call this a trivial matter?"

"Well, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lu Cheng nodded seriously, and then explained to Xiao Ran: "To be more precise, we should say that we cut off his dragon energy."

The dynasty's fortune had declined, but the dragon energy showed no sign of dissipating.

This old dragon is still struggling to survive, lying on this dynasty, absorbing the last drop of nutrients.

"The luck of the dynasty and the luck of the emperor complement each other. Now the luck of the dynasty has declined, but the dragon energy seems to be in its prime. This shows one thing. The emperor is probably practicing. In recent years, the emperor has been superstitious about Buddhism, and the Buddhist sect has been supporting him behind the scenes. If this old dragon doesn't die, a new dragon will not appear. There is no need to let him drag the whole world to be buried with him."

During this period of time, Lu Cheng handled government affairs and finally had a general understanding of the court and the emperor.

As someone who grew up in a new era, I have no good feelings towards this emperor.

It would be fine if he just built a lot of buildings, but he didn't care about anything and just did what he wanted. The prime minister would do things according to his mood in front of him. If the job was done well, he would reward him; if it was not done well, he would just replace him.

Every day they are either participating in talent shows or building Buddhist temples.

The Buddhist sect, which had been destroyed once, was now lifted up by him.

The common people below can hardly survive, and officials are allowed to engage in corruption.

In short, he doesn't do any good things, but he does a lot of bad things.

Since this old dragon is holding on, we should send him off as soon as possible.

"Also, if the emperor is killed and the dragon energy is scattered, it will be an opportunity for you. Dragon energy is a good thing. It can improve your perception ability and help you reach a higher level of strength."

"It's not that simple. When I arrived here, I was already suppressed by the military. I want to enter the palace and kill the emperor. I don't know how many things are there in the palace. Those guards are not just for show."

Xiao Ran rolled her eyes. Lu Cheng didn’t understand, so she didn’t blame him. How could the gods behind him not understand?
The Wang family mansion in Hongxiang Village used the talisman to directly suppress the tigers, rendering them completely devoid of all attributes, thus giving themselves the opportunity to kill the tigers in return.

Not to mention that it is the imperial palace, the talismans inside must be incredibly powerful.

If you go in there yourself, you might end up capsizing like a tiger.

Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't agree, Lu Cheng's ears moved and he looked behind him.

After a while, Lu Cheng turned around and said, "They said that no one else can do this, but you can. You will understand it naturally when the time comes. It is difficult to explain it to you now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but squint her eyes and look at the empty air behind Lu Cheng.

"I'm doing this for you, so you can't let me do it for nothing."

Lu Cheng nodded and followed Xiao Ran's lead, saying, "Yes, it's not easy for my brother either. The older brothers can help take care of him."

As Lu Cheng finished speaking, the task prompt appeared in front of Xiao Ran.

[Trigger side quest: Slay the dragon]

Mission description: The dynasty is declining, but the old dragons are gathered together and will not disperse. The country will be destroyed but the king will not. This is a big taboo and should be punished!

Mission Difficulty: ?
Mission reward:?
(Note: When performing tasks, the gods will give you some special help.)
Looking at the task that appeared before him, Xiao Ran frowned.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng seemed to have received some hint at this time. He turned around and said to Xiao Ran, "They said that after completing this task, they will help you settle your debt."

After that, Lu Cheng asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ran, do you owe them money? It sounds like the debt is quite large?"

"I don't owe them anything. I don't owe them anything."

Xiao Ran waved his hand. However, this reward was not bad. What these guys were talking about should be the good deeds they owed, or the debt owed by Taoist Meihua.

No matter what kind of debt it is, Xiao Ran will be very satisfied if he can pay off one of it.

He nodded, accepting the task, but added: "I'll take the task, but I can't guarantee that I can complete it. If it's too difficult, I'll withdraw on the spot."

After eating and drinking his fill at Lu Cheng's place, Xiao Ran took out his [Spiritual Clothes] and returned to Ruzhou.

Back in the room of [Amazing Pavilion], Xiao Ran took out the ink, brush board, and [Tongyou Seal] and began to process the Yin banknotes.

【Tongyouyin·Lucky One】

Yin De value: negative thirty-seven thousand six hundred.

Privilege 1: Seal

After the seal is stamped on the Yin Banknote, it is recognized by the underworld.

Each time a stamp is added, the corresponding Yin De will be deducted based on the amount of Yin Banknotes.

Privilege 2: Lucky Banknote

Each time a Yin note is stamped, there is a 20% chance that a Lucky Yin note will appear.

The value of Yin banknotes doubles.

Although I owe a large amount of good karma now, it does not affect my continued debt accumulation.

Just like a bank loan, if you owe $10, the bank will definitely not be willing to lend you any more money.

But if you owe tens of billions, hey, the bank is not only willing to continue to lend you money, but also willing to introduce you to some resources.

There is no other way. If they don’t let you make money, they won’t be able to fill the hole of tens of billions.

Of course, if we lend you another loan, the funds will be earmarked for that purpose and will be supervised, and it may not even leave your hands.

This saves you from just lying down and spending the money on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Xiao Ran is in this situation now. He has lost his virtue, but it does not affect his use. What? What would you do if you owe tens of trillions?
I don’t know about that. Anyway, the last boss who owed so much money has already gone to jail, and I don’t know what the situation is now.

Xiao Ran tried printing a few sheets himself and the results were pretty good, so he called out Sanli and a few others to help with the work.

All you have to do is sit aside and stamp the seal on it.

During this period, Xiao Ran tried to study the craft of paper-folding craftsmen, but no matter how many times he folded it, he was never satisfied.

Come to think of it, among the many professions, there is a line of people who specialize in paper-folding.

I remember that tiger seemed to be like that before.

It’s a pity that Lao Hu didn’t manage to keep his career as a paper-folding craftsman, otherwise he would have saved himself a lot of trouble.

After a busy day of printing two large boxes of Yin banknotes, Xiao Ran called Li Botong and asked him to send all the Yin banknotes to other branches, and asked them to help more homeless poor souls to be reincarnated.

After explaining everything clearly, Xiao Ran stretched himself, finally finishing up the miscellaneous things on his hands.

After a short rest, Xiao Ran immediately rushed to Wancheng without stopping.

Xiao Ran didn't feel tired after running back and forth. Instead, he felt more relaxed than ever when he thought about traveling around the world with his wife. The wish that he hadn't fulfilled in his childhood had finally come true. What was there to be unhappy about?

……

"Crash la la la..."

By evening, a carrier pigeon skillfully landed at a fixed location.

A big hand grabbed the pigeon's wings, took a small roll of paper from its claws, and carefully looked at the information on it.

The man raised his head, a look of joy on his face, then turned around and said, "General, just as you expected, that woman is going to participate in this sword review."

Sitting in front of the man was a middle-aged man with a face as white as jade, wearing a golden brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. It was none other than Huang Chao himself.

Compared to before, Huang Chao is now a completely different person.

If Xiao Ran saw the current yellow tide, he would probably be shocked.

Gentle and restrained.

These four words are not an exaggeration to describe Huang Chao's changes. He no longer has the domineering and arrogance of the past, and his radiance seems to have been completely restrained.

Coupled with Huang Chao's own temperament as a scholar, Huang Chao is more like a sword in a scabbard, his edge is restrained, but it makes it even more difficult for people to see through him.

No one can judge what the knife hidden in the scabbard looks like.

Huang Chao was not surprised to hear the news. He picked up the wine glass with one hand and took a sip.

Facing the news that Gao Yuting was going to participate in the sword review, his eyes were sharp but his face looked more relaxed.

"Is everything ready on the high priest's side?"

"We are ready. Thirty locusts can burst out with strength that is not weaker than that of a master of Tongxuan at a critical moment. In addition, our people have already entered Chang'an first and are lurking in inns, restaurants, teahouses and other places."

"Ah."

Huang Chao nodded with satisfaction, becoming more and more satisfied with the middle-aged man in front of him.

This person was called Deng Wenzhu, and his experience was somewhat similar to his own. He also had real knowledge, but the world was corrupt. Just because he accidentally offended a rich and nobleman before the exam, he was beaten to a disability and his official career was cut short.

Now, this person is accepted as Huang Chao's last disciple, and is also the chief military strategist in Huang Zai's army.

"General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wait until the sword review meeting and chop off this bitch's head to vent your anger."

Deng Wenzhu congratulated Huang Chao.

"Let's talk about it later. If there is a chance, just get rid of her. If there is no chance, there is no need to ruin everything for an insignificant person."

Huang Chao remained very calm about this.

If it were in the past, he would have torn this woman who had brought shame upon him into pieces, making her life worse than death.

But now, the trend has changed and personal gains and losses are no longer taken into consideration.

Compared with the dynasty's hegemony, this little humiliation of mine is nothing.

Seeing that Huang Chao could take his own humiliation and loss so lightly, Deng Wenzhu immediately felt that she had followed the right person.

"The general really has the spirit of an emperor. With such a broad mind, he will be able to achieve great things in the future."

After Deng Wenzhu flattered him, he took another closer look at the contents of the envelope.

"what!"

"what happened?"

"General, it says here that there was another person who set out with Gao Yuting. We don't know who this person is, but his words and actions are very close to Gao Yuting. The letter says that this person seemed to have appeared briefly in the last battle of Wancheng, and there has been no news since then..."

"Snapped!!"

Just as Deng Wenzhu finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a wine glass breaking.

Looking back, I saw Huang Chao's face was ferocious, the wine glass in his hand was crushed into powder, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he stared at the front with a smile.

The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, and he cursed angrily: "This bastard has finally shown up. If I meet him, I will cut him into pieces! !"
