The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 71 Non-staff personnel of Dongchang (please collect and read)
Li Xuan looked at Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang, cupped his hands and said:

"I've met Manager Zhang, Eunuch Zhao."

Manager Zhang smiled slightly and said:

"Manager Li, it's been a long time since you went out this time. Our family is still worried about what might happen to you on the way."

Li Xuan bowed:

"I did encounter some troubles, so I was delayed a little bit."

Zhao Hao drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, what's the trouble? You might as well tell me about it. Lao Zhang and I are just bored."

He and Manager Zhang seemed to be very familiar with each other, and their words were quite casual.

"Manager Li, come here, sit down and have a cup of tea. It just so happens that we can tell our family about the outside affairs. Since our family has been in the cold palace, we have never been out of the palace. We are very curious about the outside affairs. "

talking.

He stood up from the rocking chair and wanted to pick up the teapot and pour tea for Li Xuan.

Li Xuan wisely stepped forward, took the teapot, and filled up the tea cups of Manager Zhang and Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao said: "Old Zhang, if you really want to see what it's like outside, you might as well go back to Dongchang. Recently, our Dongchang has been encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Underworld Fire Sect, but many people have died, even the stalls. Several people died, it was a time when we were short of manpower.”

"Old Zhao, we have known each other for almost ten years. I am not clear about my level. I am an old man, so I am still suitable for retiring in the cold palace." Manager Zhang waved his hand.

He spent thousands of taels and cultivated many connections to buy his position as general manager.

Now the official income alone is 100 taels a month. How could he go back to Dongchang to fight life and death?

What's more, he is very likely to be promoted to the general manager in the near future, and his salary will reach 500 taels a month by then.

A great future is waiting for him. If he returns to Dongchang, he will be completely out of his mind.

'It turns out that this manager worked in Dongchang before, no wonder he is so good at it. Li Xuan listened to the conversation between Manager Zhang and the two and thought to himself.

He had seen General Manager Zhang take action once before, and he estimated that this General Manager had reached the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm.

Manager Zhang ignored Zhao Hao's solicitation, looked at Li Xuan and said:
"Manager Li, sit down and tell us what happened to you when you went out this time."

"Yes."

Li Xuan sat down.

He was worried that he couldn't find the right time to talk about the Black Wind Village, but now was the opportunity.

present.

Li Xuan told them about this trip.

However, he hid the fact that he went to Chunfeng Tower to deliver the letter, and instead said that he heard about the duel between Qin Kun and Zuo He on the way. Seeing that Lie Xin was happy, he went to watch the duel at the scene.

In this way, if someone wanted to investigate him later, he could use this as an excuse to explain why he appeared in Guangning Mansion.

"I've also heard about this. I didn't expect you, Eunuch Li, to be present. I heard that the final fight turned into a duel between the Black Wind Village and the Knife Catchers. A big conflict broke out. All the people watching were affected and died. There are quite a few people here.”

As the stall owner of Dongchang, Zhao Hao's duty is to supervise the world on behalf of the emperor.

In terms of intelligence, it is naturally not bad.

Twenty days had passed since the duel, and the grass on Qin Kun's grave was already three meters high. Zhao Hao naturally had relevant information.

"Yes, the scene was thrilling. I was lucky enough to escape." Li Xuan looked frightened.

In fact, these things were naturally heard by him through hearsay.

After all, he already knew Qin Kun's plan at that time, so he didn't join in the fun to avoid unexpected events.

But I never thought that I would meet Qin Kun in the end, and I can only say that things are unpredictable.

Li Xuan thought for a while and then said: "On the way to escape, I also heard a piece of news. It seems that the people from Black Wind Village and the Blood Lotus Sect are colluding together. Even the saints from the Blood Lotus Sect have appeared. I don’t know what they are planning.”

He didn't dare to say it too explicitly, but just mentioned the Blood Lotus Sect in a subtle way.

After all, this kind of thing is not too secretive. Even the knife-catcher organization knows it, and even if it is told, it will not be suspected.

"It's the Blood Lotus Sect again. When we surrounded and killed the remnants of the Dark Fire Sect, we fell into the Blood Lotus Sect's trap and were almost wiped out. Fortunately, Wei Gong showed his might and drove away several elders of the Blood Lotus Sect. Already." Zhao Hao groaned after hearing this.

Li Xuan looked surprised: "There is still such a thing, what will be the final result?"

During the previous Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, Huojiu, the elder of the Hellfire Sect, sneaked into the harem and cast evil spells, killing several princesses and Mrs. Gaoming.

This incident also alarmed the emperor, who specifically ordered Wei Jingzhong to be responsible for wiping out the remnants of the Minghuo Cult.

It's been more than half a year now, and I don't know what's going on.

Zhao Hao showed an admiring look: "With Duke Wei taking action, all the remnants of the Dark Fire Sect were naturally put to death. Even an elder of the Blood Lotus Sect died at the hands of Duke Wei. The fight was so dark that we, the Warriors in the Xiantian realm can only stare from the sidelines. With Wei Gong’s strength, as long as he gets a destiny map, he will be promoted to a martial saint immediately!"

Paused.

He continued: "However, Eunuch Li, your news is somewhat interesting. Now the Blood Lotus Sect is stirring up trouble in the dark, and I don't know what it wants to do. I will report this matter to Duke Wei." When Li Xuan heard this, he didn't say anything more.

His purpose in bringing this up was to make Dongchang pay attention to the situation in Taihu Province.

When the time comes, if he really prevents the blood sacrifice from happening, he may be rewarded and gain some benefits from it.

"The Blood Lotus Sect has existed in all dynasties. Behind many uprisings, there are traces of the Blood Lotus Sect. I don't know what these guys are trying to do." Manager Zhang yawned and looked at Li Xuan, "Manager Li, please continue. explain……"

Li Xuan gave a rough outline of his upcoming itinerary, but naturally he concealed his encounter with Qin Kun.

I didn't hide my encounter with the evil spirit, I talked about it in an exaggerated way.

He also said that he was a blessing in disguise and got some pills and a weapon from the demon, which he sold for more than 1000 taels of silver.

The reason why he made up this lie was naturally to find a legitimate excuse for him to have money to buy a yard.

If Zhao Hao wanted to investigate him later, he would have a reason to explain clearly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, more than 1000 taels, Eunuch Li is also a blessed person." Zhao Hao glanced at Li Xuan enviously.

He didn't care about the money. With his current identity and status, he could earn more than 1000 taels, which was only a month or two.

I just lamented that Li Xuan was so lucky that he happened to encounter the evil demon who was killed and got benefits from the evil demon.

Manager Zhang smiled: "With this money, with Manager Li's talent, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can reach the innate realm."

"The younger one is still far behind, but with this money, the younger one bought some pills and successfully broke through to the bone-forging realm." Li Xuan improved his cultivation level in time.

It has now been about half a year since he broke through to strengthen his muscles.

Showing the strength of the Bone Forging Realm would not attract anyone’s attention.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Li's cultivation progress is really good. However, just improving the realm is just a fake. We also need to improve our combat ability. Eunuch Li really doesn't plan to join our Dongchang. Although the Dongchang is a bit dangerous, , but the benefits are real, if one day I am appreciated by Duke Wei, it is not impossible for me to soar into the sky."

Li Xuan smiled bitterly: "Thanks to Eunuch Zhao for your appreciation, but my strength is limited, so I still hope to stay in the cold palace and help Manager Zhang share his worries."

Zhao Hao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted directly by Manager Zhang:

"Okay, Lao Zhao, you are really shameless. If you can't poach me, you have to poach my supervisor, right?"

Zhao Hao shook his head: "I just gave Eunuch Li a chance to choose. Do you think everyone is willing to be a salted fish like you?"

He said no more, stood up and looked at Li Xuan:
"Eunuch Li, the gate of the East Factory is right there. If you have figured it out, come to me at any time."

"Okay, I've had my fill of tea today and heard enough stories, so I'll take my leave now."

"Eunuch Zhao, go slowly." Li Xuan also stood up to see him off.

Manager Zhang leaned on the rocking chair and said, "You have almost drank all my tea. Next time you come back, you can only drink cold water."

"You iron cock..."

Zhao Hao complained and turned to leave.

Wait until Zhao Hao leaves.

Li Xuancai took out a bottle of elixir from his arms and handed it to Manager Zhang: "This is the Feiling Pill I bought. I wish Manager Zhang will be promoted to Grandmaster soon."

"Huh?" Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed, he raised his hand to take it, opened the medicine bottle, and a fresh fragrance immediately came out of the bottle.

There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes and he smiled: "This Feiling Pill is worth at least 400 taels. You are really interested."

"If Manager Zhang hadn't approved my return this time, I wouldn't have been able to get such benefits. I should be filial to you," Li Xuan said.

Manager Zhang put the elixir away and said: "Since you are so kind, we will accept it. Also, it is not impossible for you to consider Zhao Hao's proposal just now. With your identity as Dongchang, you will accept it from now on." You don’t have to wait a year to leave the palace.”

Li Xuan shook his head: "I still like to stay in the cold palace. Fighting and killing outside are really not suitable for me."

"What we mean is that these Dongchang stalls have some quotas for non-staff personnel. Although these Dongchang non-staff personnel do not enjoy salary, they can go out to work as Dongchang. However, every time they borrow As Dongchang, you need to pay 50 taels to the stall owner, or do something for the stall owner. If you don't mind, our family can ask Zhao Hao for a place for you." Manager Zhang got the benefit, but he also Don’t forget to mention Li Xuan.

What is this, paid to work?However, it’s not a bad idea to exchange 50 taels for a chance to leave the palace... Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "I have no plans to leave the palace for the time being. If necessary, please ask Manager Zhang for help."

"This is just a trivial matter." Manager Zhang waved his hand, "However, the war outside is now chaotic. With your strength, if you can't leave the palace, you should try your best not to leave the palace."

"That's what Mr. Zhang said."

Li Xuan stayed with Manager Zhang for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Then, he went to see his adoptive father, Eunuch Chen, and gave Eunuch Chen several bone-burning elixirs worth 30 to [-] taels.

Eunuch Chen naturally accepted it with a smile.

I chatted with Eunuch Chen for a while and talked about some things that happened when I went out.

Li Xuan found an excuse to leave and went straight to the palace of Empress Duanmu.
