Chapter 103
"Maybe. For safety reasons?"
Su Yan's doubts stumped Feng Shiqi. Feng Shiqi came over for a moment and said, "Anyway, we don't need to pay for it ourselves. These tickets are given by the Hua family. We can just go and sit in the VIP seats to watch."
The tickets sold by the Chiwang Mansion are not for the poor, but for those who are rich and want to join in the fun but are worried about being involved in the storm.
Buying the tickets for the viewing seats of the Chiwang Mansion is equivalent to the Chiwang personally guaranteeing the personal safety of the spectators.
"The ticket usage time is the day after tomorrow morning. We may have to go and occupy the seats tonight." Feng Shiqi handed a ticket to Su Yan and said with a smile.
Su Yan looked at what was written on the ticket, and three black lines appeared on his cheeks.
[Bai Ze! The drama of one man against ten thousand countries is about to be staged, so please look forward to the opening! 】
The front of the ticket says what drama to watch, and the back says the precise time to eat melons.
Su Yan was extremely suspicious. If Bai Ze didn't show up at that time, would Chi Wang personally run to Bai Ze to attract him?
If so, then the ticket sales in Chi Wang Mansion made sense.
"Since we have to leave in the early morning, then I'll go outside to buy some snacks and then we'll sit in the VIP seats to watch the show!"
Su Yan stood up from the lawn and pulled Feng Shiqi to go outside the government office to buy some snacks.
In addition, the two people in the front hall of the government office, Luanming County Master and Zhou You, were scratching their heads at the black object in the glass bottle.
"Are you really sure that these black orange peels can be used to make tea? No matter how I look at them, they seem to be moldy things?"
Zhou You looked at the words on the bottle, his face full of confusion.
"I don't know, anyway, it says tea leaves."

I'm a little stuck, so the update is slow, and I'm trying my best to adjust the status.
Li Xiao was reborn into a world of one person, inheriting the opera family.
There has always been a strange creature living in his mind. Li Xiao thought it was a brain-eating worm, but later found out that it was not a brain-eating worm, but a golden finger that time travelers must have.
It has its own intelligence and can freely transform its body.

Chapter 206 Is the Immortal Emperor here? I love you!
"Baji, baji. This thing is really powerful. After drinking it, my cultivation has improved a little bit."
When Zhou You first saw the black stuff in the glass jar, he refused to think it was "tea" from the bottom of his heart, but when he learned that the things in the glass jar that Hua Yan gave to Luanming County Lord were tributes to the Immortal Emperor every year from the Flower District, Zhou You felt that it was not impossible to try it.
Hua Yan did not explain the black pieces of stuff in the glass jar to Luanming County Lord, but just said that it was a small gift from the Hua family, not a respect. It was only when the maid of the Hua family reminded the Lady of Luanming that the tea in the glass jar belonged to the tribute of the Flower District that she was leaving.
Among the three earthly immortals in the Flower District, in addition to the human earthly immortal Hua family ancestor and the demon earthly immortal Bai Jiangjun, the last earthly immortal was a mountain god who had become a spirit from a citrus tree and had been rooted in the Flower District for more than 3,000 years.
The mountain god's cultivation had long stopped growing, so the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed into his body on weekdays was all distributed to the citrus on his branches, making them grow extremely strong, delicious and magical.
If it were not for the tyranny of the Red King, the old mountain god would actually keep the tangerines for himself.
As the saying goes, the flower is a wonder, and eating tangerines with the peel is used to describe the tangerines produced by the old mountain god.
The tangerine peel that Hua Yan gave to the Lady of Luanming should be called "aged tangerine peel". It was taken from the plump tangerines on the sunny side of the crown of the old mountain god. The flesh was removed and then dried for ten years to extract the essence of the sun and moon.
The standard for tribute is a hundred years, and it needs to be nurtured with the essence of the sun and the moon.
Drinking it is like absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, which has great appeal to the demon clan. A mouthful of tangerine peel tea is equivalent to several months of hard practice for ordinary cultivators.
A piece of tangerine peel of the old mountain god can make eight cups of tea, and one cup of tea is about four mouthfuls of tea.
"I can't drink it anymore"
Zhou You tasted it with the first mouthful and felt very good. After drinking the second cup, he burped and his stomach was bloated as if he had participated in a big eater competition.
Two mouthfuls of tea is equivalent to a year of hard practice of spiritual power. If Zhou You is not a Jindan stage cultivator, the spiritual power contained in a mouthful of tea is enough to burst his whole body meridians, but two cups of tea are already the limit of Jindan primary cultivators.
The gift of friendship given by the Hua family is indeed extraordinary.
"So it's this."
Su Yan took a sip of tea, the familiar taste and sweet feeling transmitted to his heart and lungs, reminding Su Yan of what happened last month, when he and Sister Xi'er went to Princess Wuxi's house to feed the moon rabbit, and Princess Wuxi used tangerine peel tea to entertain him and Sister Xi'er.
Su Yan didn't know it was a tribute before, and asked Princess Wuxi where to buy it.
Princess Wuxi smiled and didn't say anything, just let Su Yan come to her house to drink it if he liked it.
The rich Loli's wealth is not only on the surface, any inconspicuous thing can show off. Su Yan secretly complained in his heart.
………………
"By the way, can Sister Junxia give me two pieces of those hundred-year-old tangerine peels?"
Everyone drank tea and refined spiritual energy. After Qingya and Fairy Yi came back, they prepared to post a note that the official office would be closed tomorrow, and went to the Red King's Mansion to see the Bai Ze beast, one of the ten witches of the Immortal Kingdom.
Before leaving, Su Yan asked Luanming County Lord for two hundred-year-old tangerine peels as if he had remembered something.
"What are you doing here?"
County Lord Luanming looked at Su Yan in confusion, but he still opened the storage bag and took out the glass jar, repackaged the five pieces inside, took out two pieces and handed them to Su Yan.
An old mountain god's orange was divided into six slices of tangerine peel. Everyone had already drank one slice just now, and now there are five slices left.
"I use it to pay bribes," Su Yan complained.
It is not that there are no acquaintances in the Red Prince's Mansion. There is a certain old idler named Long, who has more than ten thousand people under him. He should be living the life of a retired old man drinking tea and playing with birds.
Grand Master Sumire may not look down on these things, but Su Yan had no intention of obtaining anything originally. He just wanted to show respect to the elderly. He just hoped that a certain old dragon would not come to torment him and others on a whim.
He had just emerged from the dire straits, and good times were beckoning to him. Su Yan did not want Master Jin to make his homework more difficult.
Moreover, with the gift, Su Yan could also test Grand Master Sumire's tone. He and others had to work extremely hard in the Flower District to get high credits, right?
"Do you want to visit the Dean with me?"
Arriving not far from Prince Chi's Mansion, Su Yan looked at everyone and asked if anyone wanted to visit the Grand Master with him.
"none!"
County Lord Luanming and Zhou You shook their heads wildly, obviously having no idea of dealing with Grand Master Jin. Feng Shiqi wanted to accompany Su Yan, but when she thought of the deeds of the notorious Jin Taishi, she shrank back behind Jun Xia.
"Go back quickly, don't stay with the Grand Master for too long."
The Medical Fairy, who was very aware of Grand Master Jin's character, directly told Su Yan to go back quickly and not to stay with Grand Master for too long, as it would be easy to get into bad habits.
Su Yan didn't feel surprised to see no one accompanying him. After all, the person he was going to meet later was Grand Master Sumire.
If it hadn't been for the feeling of kindness and gentleness that Taishi Jin gave him, Su Yan would not have deliberately contacted such a high-ranking and powerful person.
Su Yan flew through the air to the top floor of Luohe Residence, walked out of the illusion array through the stairs and arrived at the pavilion. He knew at a glance that there were wisps of green smoke from burning incense floating in the box where he met the Grand Master yesterday. Master Sumire should still be in the private room in the pavilion.
"Just come in, there's no need to knock."
As soon as Su Yan walked up the stairs, Master Jin's voice came from the box.
Su Yan heard that there was no need to be polite, so he pushed open the door of the box where Master Jin was sitting and saw Master Jin sitting in a pile of memorials and working.
"You came just in time!"
Master Jin looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face, waved to him and said, "Come on, come on, sit here."
Grandmaster Sumire said, making room for Su Yan, pushing Su Yan to where she was sitting, guiding Su Yan to take the memorial in his left hand, and the seal in his right hand to start stamping on the memorial.
"Is this appropriate? Dean?" Su Yan took a deep breath, turned around and looked behind him, Grand Master Jin, and said, "These are memorials. If the corrections are wrong, His Majesty Wusheng Emperor knows what to do." You won’t just kill my head, right?”
"Look at what's written in the memorial!" Master Jin guided Su Yan to write a memorial, then walked straight to the recliner, crossed his legs, and said, "It's all just bragging and flattery, it's very boring. "
After Grand Master Sumire's reminder, Su Yan actually started to read the contents of the memorial and look at the font of the official seal.
The first memorial that Su Yan corrected read in a very elegant font: [The weather is fine today, and it is another day to miss His Majesty the Wusheng Emperor. The singing and dancing in Haixia City are as peaceful and prosperous as ever. Your Majesty is truly a saint. 】
The second memorial: [I love you and admire you, Your Majesty is the light in my life, the divine light that guides me to work hard day and night to govern Mingquan City! 】
After Su Yan flipped through several memorials, he took another look at the seal he held in his hand. It was not a jade seal engraved with "As time goes by, it remains unchanged".
Instead, it is a seal that says [Read].
"Reading the memorial once is one reading, reading it twice is two readings, and so on. If you see one with more elegant literary talent, ask me to read it too."
With a smile on his face, Master Sumire prepared to make a pot of tea to relieve the greasy and nauseated feeling in his heart.
County magistrates from all over the Xia Yu Dynasty had the obligation and authority to write to the emperor every week, reporting to her the major and minor matters in the cities under their jurisdiction, or asking for advice.
But as time went by, He Xia Yu's overall strength became stronger and stronger, and the originally weekly routine of submitting letters gradually became a stage for county magistrates from various places to show their presence.
The county magistrates all knew that promotion or not would not be changed by a memorial, but at least they could show off their presence in front of Emperor Wu Sheng.
"There are more than a thousand memorials about business affairs every week, which makes me sick to my stomach. If I had known that His Majesty would forward these memorials directly here, I should have brought several gentlemen with me to take turns sealing them when I went out."
Master Sumire was thinking in her heart with emotion on her face.
Chapter 207 Ao Renlin! !
[Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that in the Western Territory, the cool dance of beauties centered on bamboo should be promoted in the territory. If the beauties are not suitable, beautiful men can be used to stimulate the domestic demand of the Eternal Dynasty! 】
[His Majesty Shengming believes that it is inappropriate for the abandoned mining areas in the north to be abandoned directly. We should learn from King Xuan to create wonders to stimulate the regional economy. Mines that go directly thousands of miles underground are natural wonders! 】
[Good morning, His Majesty Wu Sheng Emperor, have you eaten? Weichen is eating porridge with pickles this morning. At noon, a famous dish called stuffed orange crab is popular here this year. The ingredients required are not complicated. You can make this sweet and slightly sour dish with just...
The neatly arranged memorials on the table mostly contained trivial things, either to flatter Emperor Wusheng about his health, or to describe what he had eaten, what delicious food he had, and to recommend himself to Emperor Wusheng. Local specialties here.
Some even talked about handsome men and asked Wusheng Emperor Amway for pole dancing. No, it should be bamboo pole dancing.
Su Yan's scalp went numb as he read the memorial, because there was so much lust in every line of the memorial. When he read the memorial, Su Yan seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes. He saw a large group of gentlemen posing and posing, winking at each other, and acting coquettishly. : "Your Majesty~ Take a look at the Sa family!"
"Tsk"
Su Yan closed the memorial in silence and subconsciously wiped it with his palms on his clothes, as if there was something unclean on the memorial. Then he turned his head to look at Grand Master Sumire in the rocking chair and complained:
"Local officials. Life is really rich."
Master Sumire chuckled and said, "Shengshi Taiping and the others naturally have nothing to report, and they don't want to give up their right to submit a letter once a week. The memorials are naturally filled with trivial matters or bad ideas."
"The memorials that really record important events will either be escorted by the Demon Suppressing Department, or delivered to His Majesty through the express channel of the post station, or even be delivered to me for slow review."
"If you like it, watch it slowly. I won't compete with you."
Emperor Wu Sheng didn't like to see these flatterers, so he ordered the Secretary of Internal Affairs to transfer it to Grand Master Jin. Grand Master Jin had long been tired of the officials' tricks, so he subcontracted the work of reading the memorials to a gentleman in the academy.
It's just that during this outing, Grand Master Sumire didn't expect Emperor Wusheng to send the memorial, and he didn't bring the outsourcer with him to review it.
Just when Grandmaster Sumire felt agitated, Su Yan hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Dean. The students still have important matters to deal with. It's not respectful to be petty."
Seeing that Master Jin had a joking look on her face and her words were more tactful than her singing, Su Yan stopped talking politely to the Master and placed the dried tangerine peel produced by Laoshan Shen on the table where Master Jin was sitting. Get ready to run away.
The content of the review memorial was too greasy, and Su Yan felt that he was too young to see it.
Master Jin watched Su Yan escape, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head: "Young people are so lively, and being dull can be quite interesting."
……………………
After Su Yan escaped from Luoheju, he went straight to Yukong, the rock pillar viewing seat outside the Red Prince's Mansion, and met up with Medical Fairy and others who had arrived one step earlier.
"Have you found the credit rating?"
When County Master Luanming saw Su Yan coming back, he caught the white fox that was flying towards him and asked.
"No, as soon as I saw the dean, he just held me down to work as a coolie. As soon as he thought about speaking, the dean directly changed the topic to the horizon." Su Yan sighed helplessly: "The enemy army So cunning."
"It's normal that he can't be found. If he could be found so easily, he wouldn't be able to take the Grand Master's seat." Zhou You didn't find it strange at all. He even thought it was normal for Su Yan to feel frustrated by Grand Master Jin.
"Rumble"
Not long after Su Yan arrived at the spectator seats, there was a strange roar in the sky, as if something huge was breaking through the air resistance and moving forward.
Such a strange sound came, and the audience in the spectator seats all looked over in unison, thinking that they could see Bai Ze, who was revered as the "Beast God" in his lifetime.
But what everyone saw was a 100-meter giant dragon covered in starry black scales, galloping towards the south at high speed.
