Chapter 26: Zheng Fugui Visiting the Theater
Editor: Atlas Studios
It was already dark when they left the East Palace.
The two of them walked down the street. A group of people in golden robes with a dragon's head embroidered on their chests walked past them in a golden cloak. They held golden swords that looked a little like the Flood Dragon Sword, but more exquisite and beautiful.
Zhang Ronghua frowned. "True Dragon Hall?"
"What are they doing so late?"
"The True Dragon Hall is in the hands of Emperor Xia. Other than him, no one can mobilize it. This group of people has very strong cultivation and looks rushed. If I'm not wrong, the Grand Tutor should have made a move."
Zheng Fugui scratched the back of his head. He still did not understand after listening for a long time.
"There's going to be a good show tomorrow. Let's go!"
But he stopped and met Zhang Ronghua's puzzled gaze. "Cousin, I won't go back with you. I want to go home and take a look."
"Be careful."
Instead of returning to Vermilion Bird Workshop, he walked towards Riches Workshop.
Seeing that he had returned, Zheng Rou asked the servants to prepare some food and gave the space to the two of them.
In the lobby, Zhang Ronghua ate beef noodles.
When he finished eating, Zhang Qin asked, "How was this trip?"
He explained the matter, omitting what needed to be omitted.
After hearing this, his expression was grave. "Is the prince crazy? Doesn't he know the consequences of provoking the Grand Tutor? Once he's found out, even the Xia Emperor won't be able to save them. No, regardless of whether we can find out, a large group of people will suffer."
"On the way back, I saw people from the True Dragon Hall."
"The Grand Tutor is really angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the True Dragon Hall to appear. No matter who is involved this time, they have to die."
"Where's the group we brought back a few days ago?"
"The evidence is conclusive. They were executed on the same day. The new officials are probably in Tongzhou and Shangping County."
He took out the jade box containing the Essence Augmenting Pill and opened the box. There was a jade bottle inside.
"The Crown Prince asked me to leave it to you."
"You have to remember to take whatever he gives you."
Zhang Ronghua nodded.
Looking outside, Zhang Qin frowned. "Why are you alone? Where's Fugui?"
"He went home."
"You should rest early too."
When they reached the bedroom, Zhang Ronghua took a step in. Thinking of Zheng Fugui, he retracted his foot. "Did he really go back?"
When he came back today, he was still talking about Ning Xue, wanting to see how beautiful the number one beauty in the world was.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He kept feeling that he would go to Heaven on Earth.
"Why don't we go over?"
In a while.
They soon arrived at his uncle's house, whose name was Zheng Shan. He lived with his grandfather and yawned. He enthusiastically pulled him into the hall and instructed the maidservant to serve tea. "Where's your cousin?"
"He didn't come back?"
"No!"
Zheng Shan's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know where it is?"
"Cousin said he's admired Ning Xue for a long time. I think he's there."
"Go!"
He changed his clothes and rushed to Heaven on Earth with a stick held.
At this point, Zhang Ronghua showed his waist token and asked the servant to call the stewardess over. She was called Sister Lu, a young woman with retained charm. She was good-looking and had good eyesight.
She glanced at Zheng Shan and knew that he was most likely here to capture someone again. She bowed. "Greetings, sir!"
Zheng Shan could not wait to ask, "Where is Zheng Fugui?"
Sister Lu was a little stunned. There were many people here to play. Other than regular customers or people who were generous enough to remember their names, she didn't know anyone else. Wasn't it making things difficult for her to find someone in the crowd?
She couldn't call all the guests who were playing, right?
Not to mention that she could not do it, even if she could, the reputation of the Flood Dragon Guard Colonel was not enough.
Zhang Ronghua added, "He's a little silly. He came because he admires Ning Xue."
In that case, Sister Lu had an impression. Just now, a well-dressed and honest young man had come over. As soon as he arrived, he called Ning Xue out by name, wanting to see what she looked like and how beautiful she was. Otherwise, how dare she call herself the number one beauty in the Great Xia?
It was impossible to see her.
She casually arranged for two girls to bring him into a room and send him away.
"Please follow me!"
They went up to the second floor.
"No…"
Zheng Fugui's resisting voice came from the room.
Zheng Shan's expression immediately darkened as he cursed, "Unfilial son!"
He kicked open the door and rushed in with his stick.
There was a commotion and Zheng Fugui's begging.
Zhang Ronghua looked inside. Fortunately, he had not taken off his clothes. Otherwise, his uncle would have broken his legs.
"Cousin, save me…"
He rushed out and fled outside when he saw that there was no help.
"Stop right there!"
Zheng Shan chased after him with his rod.
Zhang Ronghua was in no hurry to leave. "How much is it, including the broken tables and chairs?"
"You're giving us face by coming over. Forget this money."
He took out a banknote worth 50 taels and threw it over before turning to leave.
Then, they arrived at their uncle's house.
Zheng Fugui knelt on the ground obediently. There was still a broken stick beside him. He looked at him resentfully, like a bullied wife.
He threw a gloating look at him. 'You can't control your feet. You even dared to lie to me and secretly run to the heavens. Serves you right!'
Crossing his legs, Zhang Ronghua sat on a chair and drank tea.
Zheng Shan berated, "What did I teach you usually?"
"Do things seriously and be honest."
"What else?"
"No gambling dens, no brothels. Practice martial arts diligently."
"What did you do?"
"I, I…"
Zheng Fugui opened his mouth for a long time but could not say a word. Actually, he wanted to say that he was just going to see what Ning Xue looked like, but the girls at Heaven on Earth were too enthusiastic. They were beautiful, soft-spoken, and gentle, so he drank two more glasses of wine.
"Are you going next time?"
"I won't go no matter what!"
Zhang Ronghua added, "What he means is that as long as he's breathing, he'll go."
Zheng Fugui was dumbfounded as if he had just met his cousin.
"You're playing mind games, aren't you?"
Another beating started. He didn't stop until he was tired.
After a while, it was already early in the morning. He asked the maidservant to bring some food and wine over and ate with Zhang Ronghua. Zheng Fugui also wanted to eat. He drooled as he looked at the food and wine. Seeing his father's fierce expression, he swallowed and did not dare to speak.
"He didn't cause any trouble for you at the East Palace, did he?"
"No!"
"I feel at ease with you taking care of him! Otherwise, with his IQ, he'd help count the money after being sold."
They finished their supper.
Zheng Shan left drunk. Zhang Ronghua kicked him angrily. "Why aren't you getting up?"
"Cousin, you stabbed me in the back!"
Bang!
He was rewarded with a knock on the head.
He chided, "Let's see if you dare to go again."
After entering the guest room, he sat on the bed and took out the hundred-year-old ginseng.
A rich spiritual herb fragrance spread out, taking form and containing powerful spiritual energy.
After eating it, it was a little bitter. It turned into a huge force that circulated in his body and circulated the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique to refine it. His cultivation had already reached a critical point and used it to break through to the fifth level of the Celestial Realm.
