Accessory Phase Zhuge Jun asked for an audience.
When Zhuge Jun appeared, it was truly a coincidence. It was obvious that they had long since planned to come to see Fang Shuwen.
Fang Shuwen was startled. Zhuge Jun, why did he come to see me? Along the way, he had also understood this Accessory Phase. He was simply a ignorant, incapable, and extremely ordinary person. Why did he suddenly come to see me?
Normally, Accessory Phase would request to see him, but like this, he would request to see him as soon as he arrived at a new city. This was the first time, although he was suspicious, it was not easy for Accessory Phase to close the door and not see him.
"Quick, invite Accessory Phase."
Fang Shuwen instructed. Soon after, Accessory Phase Zhuge Jun was led into the hall by a servant.
Upon seeing Fang Shuwen, Zhuge Jun immediately and respectfully bowed towards him.
Chang Sheng stood at the back of Fang Shuwen, looked at the respectful and ordinary looking Zhuge Jun, and thought of the Zhuge Jun that day in the dilapidated temple, and he suddenly shook his head. No one, who would have thought that the ordinary Accessory Phase in front of him, would actually be the Imperial Advisor of the Predynastic Remnant, and was actually an expert of the Soul Transformation realm!
This Zhuge Jun was also an expert at acting, and at that, he was a grandmaster.
Zhuge Jun saluted Fang Shuwen and raised his body. Only now did he see Zhang Ouyu and Zhang Qin standing at his side. He glanced at the two without saying a word, and then, his gaze landed on Fang Shuwen's body.
Fang Shuwen looked at Zhuge Jun with interest, then asked loudly: "I wonder why Accessory Phase Zhuge is here?"
"It's like this."
When Zhuge Jun heard the prince's question, he immediately said respectfully: "When Old Official came to the Mausoleum City today, he actually heard the report of a benevolent person from the Mausoleum City. Ever since the flood had happened, he had been providing porridge to the entire population of the Mausoleum City. When the Old Official heard about this, he specially came to His Highness the Prince to see if His Highness could meet with that magnanimous man once.
"After all, there are too many places that we need relief this time, and the burden on the imperial government is also very heavy. If we can find local gentry to help us, that would be for the best, and at the same time, we can also free up our time to go to other places to help. After all, there are too many places that have suffered this time, so we have to hurry up."
Fang Shuwen had never thought that Zhuge Jun would come to find him because of the great kindness he had shown his. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw that Zhang Ouyu was standing at the side and felt a bit embarrassed, but he was also secretly pleased with himself as he said with a smile, "Looks like Accessory Phase Zhuge is really familiar with this great kindness."
In reply to Your Highness, Old Official is not very familiar with their knowledge. It's mainly because the moment Old Official entered the city, he heard people talking about this benevolent Master Zhang everywhere, and then, when the local officials reported back, they would always mention him.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Lord Zhuge, actually, the Benefactor Zhang Dazhi that you mentioned is in the room right now. The person beside you is the person called Zhang Ouyu." Hearing Zhuge Jun's words, Fang Shuwen raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Ouyu.
"Is he the kind man, Zhang Dazhi?" Zhuge Jun heard and turned to look at Zhang Ouyu in surprise.
Seeing all of this, Chang Sheng could not help but curse in his heart. Go on and pretend, go on and pretend. Pretending not to know Zhang Ouyu, if you don't know, there is a high chance that you will be tricked. But you would never have thought that the person who escaped from you the other day was me!
Looking at Zhang Ouyu, he appeared even more terrified, and immediately opened his mouth: "Lord Zhuge, you praise me too highly, this commoner is a member of the Daqi Dynasty, and is even a native profound practitioner. This commoner's Mausoleum City suffered a calamity, if this commoner is able to do so, this commoner will do his share."
Saying that, Zhang Ouyu turned to look at Fang Shuwen, and said: "Your Highness, this humble one just heard from Master Zhuge that you still need to bring the government's troops to many places to provide assistance. This humble subject thinks, how about this, do you think that you can sell some food to the grass citizens? After all, the people around the Mausoleum City have been affected, and the only thing that hasn't been affected is the Mengshan City, so the amount of food that a city can sell is really limited."
"Lord Prince, along the way you can pass by many cities that have yet to be affected by disasters, and can buy a lot of food, but this commoner's family business is right outside of the city, and we do not dare to leave it for too long. If Lord Prince sells the food to us, this Lord Prince can also go to the next place to provide relief, and this commoner can also help Mausoleum City to tide over this crisis."
"Oh? That's a good idea. " Fang Shuwen responded softly, and then began to laugh mysteriously. "However, you spent the money to buy food, and then took it out to provide relief. No matter how you look at it, you suffered a loss in any case. A merchant like you wouldn't do such a thing, right? "
"His Highness the prince is wise!" Hearing Fang Shuwen's words, Zhang Ouyu immediately flattered him and said: "This humble one does indeed have a plan. This humble one hopes that when the imperial government collects taxes in the future, this humble one can collect 10% or 20% less tax."
"Less tax?" Fang Shuwen thought for a while, and then laughed out loud: "You have a good plan, ten or twenty percent of the tax revenue might not sound like much, but as long as we continue like this, the Zhang Clan will be the one to profit in the end."
"This commoner was also thinking of a win-win situation ?" Zhang Ouyu's body bent even more.
"Win-win, what a win-win." Hearing Zhang Ouyu's words, Fang Shuwen's mind was filled with thoughts. Chang Sheng had said that this kind person had problems, and his family had such a mysterious person like Zhang Qin. His goal was definitely not as simple as his words.
However, it was not easy to reject him at the moment. If they were to directly reject him, it would inevitably alert them. The best way was to first let them be careless, before taking action in one go.
Fang Shuwen thought for a while, then looked at Zhuge Jun who was at the side. A light flashed in his mind, and he said in a deep voice: "That's fine, what you said makes sense, since Accessory Phase Zhuge knows you very well, then let Accessory Phase Zhuge discuss this matter with you."
After Fang Shuwen finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Alright, This Prince is tired after arriving at Mausoleum City, everyone can leave. This Prince will also rest for a while."
Seeing that Fang Shuwen had directly ordered them to leave, Zhuge Jun, Zhang Ouyu and the others quickly took their leave.
Waiting until there was no one in the room, Fang Shuwen looked at Chang Sheng anxiously and asked: "Chang Sheng, what is the identity of that man, and what problem did you see in the past few days?"
"That kind person Zhang Dazhi is a Predynastic Remnant!"
"Predynastic Remnant?" When Fang Shuwen and Guo Feng heard Chang Sheng's words, they were stunned.
"Surprised. Actually, I still have to thank Zhang Qin. If not for her, I wouldn't have noticed this matter. When I first came to the Mausoleum City, I met Zhang Qin at the place where the Zhang Family cooked. At that time, I came to the Mausoleum City with Cheng Mo's appearance, but when Zhang Qin took the initiative to converse with me, I found out that the kind man Zhang Da Shan was actually his uncle.
Chang Sheng was unable to say out his golden age, and could only blame it on Zhang Qin, and furthermore, he had paid attention to the Zhang Family because of Zhang Qin.
And then one evening, I found out that Zhang Ouyu had sneaked out of the city. I followed behind him all the way, and only then did I discover that he was meeting with the State Grandmaster of the Predynastic Remnant, and heard of their conspiracy. They wanted something to happen while they were in the Mausoleum City! Unfortunately, I was discovered at the critical moment. "
"You've been discovered?" Guo Feng and Fang Shuwen's face were filled with disbelief as they looked at Chang Sheng. With Chang Sheng's strength, if he wanted to conceal himself, it would be difficult for anyone in the Mausoleum City to discover him.
"That's right, I was discovered, and I almost died there!" When Chang Sheng thought about Zhuge Jun's terrifying strength, even he felt his heart palpitating. He knew that he was absolutely no match for him.
Guo Feng and Fang Shuwen were even more shocked now: "What realm are you in, Chang Sheng, to think that you are not their match? I remember that you obtained four Heaven's Splendid Elephants, did you use the Heaven's Splendid Elephant back then? If you have a Heavenly Flower Treasure Elephant, even a Longevity Realm expert would find it hard to get lucky in front of you. "
"I've also calculated it before. If I had a Heavenly Flower Treasure Elephant, I would be able to contend against people at the third or fourth level of Longevity Level. But the problem is, what if my opponent is a Soul Transformation expert?"
Chang Sheng shook his head and sighed: "You haven't fought with a Soul Transformation expert yet, so it's impossible for you to imagine how strong Soul Transformation experts are, that kind of strength is definitely not something we can contend against. If it wasn't for my reaction speed, and the fact that I brought out four statues to help me block that attack, when you saw me again, you would have definitely seen a corpse.
Chang Sheng stared straight at the two of them, his expression unusually solemn. "That Soul Transformation expert is Predynastic Remnant's State Grandmaster, you know who he is, he's our Deputy Prime Minister, Zhuge Jun!"
"Zhuge Jun? He's a Predynastic Remnant, and he's an expert of the Soul Transformation realm! "
Fang Shuwen's eyes instantly widened to the size of bells, and his two black eyeballs seemed as though they were about to pop out. The news he had heard today was simply too shocking, and each one was even more shocking than the last.
The dignified vice prime minister of Daqi Dynasty was actually Predynastic Remnant! This was too terrifying.
