Chapter 223 This Moonlight Nectar is Not for Free (Subscription Request)
Chu Mansion, Living Room

Mr. Mingxin was trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

The last time someone from Fengyu Tower came, they were still arrogant and not afraid of breaking up with the Chu family.

But now he is heavy-hearted and comes with an important mission.

The general manager of Longzhou, the branch owner of Taodu Fengyu Tower said:

"Go and invite Lord Longcheng to the Taodu branch. We suspect he is the new peerless genius."

"He may have a secret treasure that can conceal his luck."

"We must go through the branch's Tianji Building to break through the cover and detect the true strength of his luck."

Lay Buddhist Mingxin said in disbelief:
"I?"

"Why, you seem unhappy?"

"Or do you want to serve in the prison state?"

When Mr. Mingxin heard this, his face changed and he said quickly:
"I am willing to go!"

Yuzhou is located in the northernmost part of the Tianming Dynasty, bordering the Evil God's Royal Court. It is a mixed place with all kinds of people and life is extremely hard.

To put it in terms of your previous life, the company sent you on a business trip to Africa.

Mr. Mingxin didn't want to go to Africa to work, so he could only come to Chu Wujiang in shame.

Chu Wujiang didn't let him wait for long. He quickly changed his clothes and walked to the living room with a slightly pale face. Mingxin Jushi was sharp-eyed and asked quickly:

"My Lord, are you feeling unwell? Do you need a doctor?"

"I know a doctor who is the most famous doctor in Taodu, and is known as Doctor Hua in the Jianghu."

"If the Marquis needs anything, I will invite him here immediately to treat the Marquis."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"I was just fighting with the mermaids and got a little injured. It's nothing serious."

"Last time, Baojianzhai sent me a secret treasure of luck, and I was deeply impressed."

"Come here, give this token to the layman."

"If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Originally, Baojianzhai could have sent low-quality secret treasures of luck, but under Ba Cheng's persuasion, Mingxin Jushi sent all the gifts that he was going to sell to Di Guangzhu and give to the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo.

This made Chu Wujiang remember this favor.

In essence, the two parties can say that they have written off the deal. Even if there are still two treasures of luck left, they can be discarded.

Who would have thought that Fengyu Tower would plot against him?

Then Chu Wujiang didn't intend to be polite. Since Master Mingxin came to his door, how could he not take advantage of him?

Be polite to your friends and be even more friendly to your enemies.

Mr. Mingxin was surprised and waved his hands repeatedly, not daring to accept the silver token.

"Master Hou!"

"Absolutely not. I can't take that responsibility."

Mr. Mingxin does not have a guilty conscience.

But Chu Wujiang was obviously a unicorn, and his investment was obviously correct, but he had to follow the instructions of the headquarters and secretly spy on the other party. How could he not feel uncomfortable?

"Please accept it, layman."

"I will not forget my friends, nor will I forgive my enemies."

"When friends come, we treat them with good wine; when enemies come, we give them a lesson."

"Come here, bring the moon-colored wine."

"Layman, let's have a drink."

Chu Wujiang smiled and had someone bring a wine table for them to sit down on. This made Mr. Mingxin even more uncomfortable.

But since Marquis Longcheng has invited him, Mr. Mingxin is not in a position to refuse.

The two of them clinked glasses, you drink a glass, I drink a glass.

Soon the bottle of moonlight nectar was finished.

Mr. Mingxin drank until his face turned red and he kept waving his hands, saying that he couldn't drink any more.

Chu Wujiang warmed himself up, then said with a smile:

"If you are a layman, please feel free to discuss anything with me."

Mingxin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said:

"My Lord, this is what happened."

"Recently, a secret treasure was found in Fengyu Tower in Taodu, which is the phoenix crown of the former empress."

"It's just that there's something wrong with the luck of this item, so it can't be moved casually."

"If the Marquis wants it, Fengyu Tower can be sold at half the price."

"Just use it as a deduction for the remaining two compensations. What do you think, Lord?"

[As expected, it came. 】

[If Ba Cheng hadn't reminded me, I would have happily gone to Taodu. ]

Chu Wujiang sneered in his heart, but his face showed a bit of excitement:

"Layman, what is this Queen Ji's Phoenix Coronet?" Layman Mingxin saw that Chu Wujiang was moved and hurriedly explained:

"My Lord, you know it."

"During the reign of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, there was a woman named Ji who was blessed with good fortune and became a phoenix. She was later known as Empress Ji."

"Empress Ji is a natural saint. In just twenty years, she created the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Art and cultivated it to the Yuanshen realm. She is second only to Emperor Wu and Guanjun Hou in the Dragon Vein Dynasty."

"Marquis Guanjun, Empress Ji and others were born one after another. People at that time believed that the Dragon Vein Dynasty was blessed with good fortune and it would not be difficult to extend the country's prosperity for another thousand years."

"Who would have thought that the Marquis of Guanjun died early, and the witchcraft case broke out. Empress Ji assisted the crown prince in fighting against Emperor Wu, and was eventually killed by Emperor Wu."

"Later, fortune tellers concluded that this situation was a sign of a dragon in high spirits that would regret its actions."

Chu Wujiang was immediately alerted when he heard this, and asked:
"Why does the arrogant dragon regret?"

Mr. Mingxin knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Ahem, I'm drunk and have gone too far. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

[It is to deliberately make people drink too much. ]

[This bottle of the best moon-lily nectar is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it is not delicious.]

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. I like to hear these."

Lay Buddhist Mingxin said quickly:

"When this virtuous empress passed away, Emperor Wu of Han regretted his decision and buried her with the highest rites. However, during the burial, the empress's phoenix crown disappeared, leaving the case unsolved."

"Now, after hundreds of years of hard work, Fengyu Tower has finally found Queen Ji's Phoenix Crown."

"I have applied to the headquarters and am willing to sell it to you, my Lord."

[You guys are really willing to spend a lot of money. ]

[Even if this Phoenix Crown is not as good as the Champion Marquis Seal, it probably still has purple luck.]

Chu Wujiang said in his heart.

After all, he is the commander of Longzhou and the patriarch of the Chu family. It would not be easy to use force if one wanted to investigate his fortune.

Mr. Mingxin applied several times before the headquarters agreed to sell the phoenix crown to Chu Wujiang.

"Okay, then I'll buy it."

"Baojianzhai, please name a price."

Mingxin was shocked. He thought, "Are you buying an onion?" and shook his head repeatedly.
"My Lord, absolutely not."

"This phoenix crown is extremely expensive. Even if you want to buy it, you should go and inspect it on site."

Chu Wujiang said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll send someone to get it."

"Baojianzhai, please give me a price first."

Mr. Mingxin was sweating profusely. He thought for a while and whispered:
"My Lord, the Phoenix Coronet likes to choose its owner."

"The headquarters said that if you don't like it, you have to sell it for a whopping two million taels of silver."

"If you like it, it only costs five hundred thousand taels."

Does such an interest rate spread make you excited?

Chu Wujiang still said with a smile on his face:

"no problem."

"But since I am a man, I should not be interested in this phoenix crown."

Mingxin Layman then realized that he had indeed drunk too much wine and had actually forgotten this. He quickly explained:

"My Lord, it's not like that..."

When Mr. Mingxin wanted to make another argument, Chu Wujiang interrupted him and said:

"How about this, I will contact the Marquis of Zhenhai and let him handle this matter."

Lay Buddhist Mingxin asked in confusion:
"My Lord, what does this have to do with the Marquis of Zhenhai?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"This Phoenix Coronet is sold for two million taels. The Chu family doesn't have that much cash, and their recent expenses have been too high."

"Whether I like it or not, I want to buy it."

"It just so happens that the Marquis of Zhenhai has always wanted to buy the land of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion."

"Let the Marquis of Zhenhai discuss it with Fengyu Tower. It won't be a problem."

The Zhenhai Marquis's Mansion wants to buy the land of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, totaling 700,000 acres of good farmland.

The Chu family, the Lu family, and Governor Liu all wanted to sell off a portion of the Si Tian Jian they had received.

Marquis Zhenhai is the biggest buyer.

Mr. Mingxin was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He deliberately proposed a price of two million taels, betting that Chu Wujiang would be in a great battle soon and it would be impossible to empty the treasury, and then he would not be able to reward his subordinates.

I didn’t expect Chu Wujiang had this trick, asking others to pay.

But such a refusal seemed too strange. Selling the phoenix crown for two million taels was not a loss at all.

Lay Buddhist Mingxin agreed with some gnashing of teeth:
"In that case, I would like to thank you, my Lord."

Chu Wujiang waved his hand and said with a smile:
"By the way, the layman just said half price, let's keep it."
