The Great Seminary

Chapter 248 Hundred Ghosts Night Parade
The first thing Zhang Gui did after regaining his senses was to express his gratitude to everyone and distribute "lucky money" generously.

Everyone present, who had previously looked listless, suddenly became energetic.

The cheers were full of confidence.

Zhang Gui found it amusing to himself, waved to his secretary, and led everyone away.

He then slowly walked back to his bedside in his palace.

I had just sat down on the edge of the bed when I naturally lay down on it.

Only then did he realize that his body and mind were extremely weak.

If it weren't for the many people who were "stirring things up" and helping during my "enchanted" period.

It's quite possible that we'll lose this opportunity to advance a small step, which we gained unintentionally.

And isn't this kind of luck also a manifestation of good fortune?

Therefore, while Zhang Gui was physically and mentally exhausted, he also felt a little smug and fell into a deep sleep after closing his eyes.

When I woke up again.

The secretary who had been waiting immediately brought the meal.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Zhang Gui felt much better.

Just then, he faintly heard the sound of firecrackers outside. A thought struck him, and he asked urgently:

What day of the twelfth lunar month is it today?

"The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month."

The secretary replied respectfully.

"Go, go!" Zhang Gui exclaimed, jumping off the bed.
“I have to go back to Dongzhou first. Tell Song Gong and Lao Sang Gui.”

I will continue the story of the boy who was relocated from Fresh Rong Island, starting today.

Furthermore, before the end of the first month, I plan to wipe out all the forces left behind by King Zhen on Giant Serpent Head Island.

After capturing 'Blackwood Town', transform it into a military town.

The docks outside Kuroki Town were converted into military docks, specifically for berthing the massive Ichthyosaur warships.

"Make them prepare."

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs!

Zhang Gui's words touched upon major military and national policies, so it didn't matter how vaguely he, as the emperor, spoke.

But the subordinates dared not be careless, and the secretary immediately confirmed:
"Your Majesty, when you speak of military and political matters, is it a formal decree or a verbal message?"

"Let's just say it verbally; the time hasn't been set yet."

Zhang Gui sensed that as the True Dragon Kingdom grew stronger, the entire system began to operate more rigorously and formally on its own.

Although this change was inconsistent with his nature, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

After all, nobody wants to be a makeshift troupe for life, not the 'troupe leader'.

"On the third day of the first lunar month, I will return to the True Dragon Kingdom to celebrate with the people and give a speech at the Guiyang Palace."

This matter was officially announced by imperial decree and proclaimed throughout the nation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The secretary bowed, and when he raised his head again, the emperor had vanished without a trace.

Two days later.

In the Eastern Guangdong Province, in Siyang County, Pingyang Town, Youyu Lane, on the street near the seaside wharf.

The house was divided into two units, so it had two large gates in the courtyard.

The sun was shining brightly outside.

My aunt, uncle, and several cousins ​​were all busy preparing for the New Year in the main room.

Only Zhang Gui squatted in his room, mechanically cracking open boiled edamame and roasting peanuts over a fire.
While tilting his head back, lost in thought, he cautiously sensed the newly added third-party force on the Ningrang Plain between Hanseong Prefecture and Kaesong Prefecture on Xianrong Island.

The "Hyakki Yagyō" army is led by Uesugi Kiryuga, the eldest son and heir of Uesugi Yuzuru, the "Kanto Kanrei" (Kanto Governor) of Japan.

In fact, if he hadn't used his divine authority little by little to gather information...

It was simply impossible to know that this force, which had marched from Sichuan to Champa, had landed on Xianrong Island in a triumphant and imposing manner.

They drove straight in, heading straight for the Ningrang Plain;

After setting up camp, they did not make any further moves with their troops. Who exactly is this person?

"A hundred demons parade at night, a hundred demons parade at night, that's interesting."

During the daytime, their combat strength is at most that of a level 3 light armor soldier who can fight while wearing 36 pounds of half-body ring armor.

At night, they can transform into powerful special units after mutation.

Its strengths and weaknesses are both glaringly obvious. It seems that General Oni Ryuga from Japan is trying to trick us.

"Guigui, Guigui, open the door quickly, your good friend has come to wish you a Happy New Year."

Suddenly, a rare, excited shout came from outside the door.

It was accompanied by a series of impatient 'bang bang...' banging on the door.

In an instant, she brought her beloved son, who had been wandering aimlessly on the Ningrang Plain of Fresh Velvet Island, back to his senses.

"Auntie, didn't I already tell you not to call me before lunch?"

Good friend, good friend, you have no idea how arrogant and unruly your son is.

Aside from that scoundrel Zhang Jiujiang, he has no friends.

Zhang Gui patted the edamame shells off his hands and shook off the peanut shells that had fallen on his clothes.

Arriving at the door, I unlatched it.

The door opens.

A beautiful figure was pushed into the room by Tsurugi Yoshimi.

But she herself didn't go in.

"Son, such a pretty young girl came to play with you during the first month of the lunar year."

Don't you dare mess around.

You should date in a proper and respectful manner.

Ci Yun, wow, just hearing that name tells you he's a first-rate talent.

In short, you should chat with Guigui first.

"When it's lunchtime, your auntie will make you a traditional fish stew."

"Ammo must be joking. You wouldn't know how to cook such exquisite and high-quality dishes."

Let's stick to shrimp paste noodles as our main dish, and add some steamed pork hock with honey, braised prawns with scallions, and abalone balls—that'll be quite a decent meal."

"You little rascal, stop being so cheeky."

Eminem told you to date properly, so you should behave properly and not talk nonsense that invites a beating.

Miss Ciyun, it's cold by the door, please come inside and sit down.

I'll close the door right away, and the room will be warm immediately.

Tsuyoshi closed the door with a smile.

Zhen Ciyun stood still and listened for a while, then suddenly said regretfully:

"Your mother is still in no hurry to get you married and have children; otherwise, she should have locked the door from the outside after closing it."

But yes,

You are the crown prince of the Stone Corpse Kingdom. Although it is just a hollow title, you are still a person of rank who wears scarlet and purple robes and has a dragon embroidered on his chest.

Besides, there's also the half-real, half-fake 'Dragon Tiger Shogunate' backing them up.

They have both money and manpower.

Your mother is naturally not busy…

"He has reached the fifth rank, 'Category C, Upper Middle'."

"what?"

"After I returned to Ming Song from Da Langdu, whenever I thought of the arrogance of the Yuanshan barbarians, I would always feel..."

The feeling is like "The Big Dipper shines high, the general carries his sword at night, he often thinks of the barbarian horses, and is unwilling to return to Pingyang".

As a result of his constant thinking, he suddenly jumped from a sixth-rank "Bingzhong" to a fifth-rank "Bingshangzhong".

Therefore, what I truly value is not the empty title of the Crown Prince of the Stone Corpse Kingdom, nor the power of the Dragon Tiger Shogunate.

Rather, it was a spirited demeanor and high morale.

Zhang Gui casually cut off Zhen Ciyun's words.

"Please sit down, Miss Ciyun."

I sometimes have fresh boiled edamame and roasted peanuts here.

I've heard Jiujiang say before that the scions of your ancient families aren't so pretentious when they go out.

Let's eat something delicious to cleanse our mouths.

Those who come during the first month of the lunar calendar are all 'important guests,' so we can't neglect them."
