Chapter 15 Where is the market?
"Eunuch Hai is looking for me?"
Zhao Sheng was a little stunned.
He has been staying in the General Office for a year. During this year, General Manager Hai has been reclusive. He has only spoken a few words to him and has never taken the initiative to look for him.
Xiao Guizi was suddenly called today, which inevitably surprised him.
But he didn't dare to drag it. He squeezed it gently with his palm, and a ray of true energy shattered the heart of the mouse, causing it to die instantly. Then he threw it out of the window.
When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Guizi, who was much taller than a year ago.
Children look the same every year, and Xiao Guizi has no shortage of food and clothing in the General Office, and she grows faster than her peers.
Xiao Guizi looked up at Zhao Sheng and realized that he seemed to have changed a bit after not seeing him for a few days.
Let’s see that he is also wearing a green silk uniform, but compared to his miserable appearance last year, he looks majestic and majestic.
Zhao Sheng's appearance is not bad, but after more than ten years of hardship, no matter how good his appearance is, he becomes ugly.
Now when I come to the General Office, I eat and drink enough every day, and my face is naturally radiant.
Moreover, he also practices martial arts, which makes him even more impressive.
"Let's go quickly, don't keep Eunuch Hai waiting."
Xiao Guizi took Zhao Sheng's arm and walked towards the main hall.
"Your martial arts seems to have improved a bit?"
Xiao Guizi asked curiously.
Despite his young age, he actually has the fifth level of acquired strength.
You only need to scratch Zhao Sheng's arm to know whether he is real or not.
He had just released the breathing method, and his aura erupted outwards, so he could easily detect it... Zhao Sheng analyzed in his mind and smiled and nodded towards Xiao Guizi.
"I have made some progress, but I still can't touch the threshold of the fourth level of acquired nature."
Xiao Guizi said sincerely: "You have obtained the Qi Nourishing Technique, and you are very lucky to be able to remove Prince Ning's violent energy. If you continue to practice, there will only be disadvantages. Don't you want to live longer?
And your talent is average, and it took you a year to successfully forge the foundation, so don’t spend any time on it."
He kept talking, and he always meant the same thing, to make Zhao Sheng give up martial arts.
It's not that he can't tolerate Zhao Sheng getting stronger, but he is sincerely doing it for Zhao Sheng's good.
Over the past year, Zhao Sheng has also understood Xiao Guizi's character.
Although he is a bit stinky, he is sincere to his friends.
Zhao Sheng is not allowed to practice martial arts because he is afraid that if he goes too far, he will suffer from the erosion of his true energy and will not live long.
It is best to only forge the foundation, which has redundancy up and down, which can strengthen the body without suffering from too many hidden diseases.
Little did he know that Zhao Sheng had solved this problem long ago.
Zhao Sheng would definitely not tell him, after all, it was related to his life and fortune, so he could only smile and nod to Xiao Guizi.
"Know, know."
When Xiao Guizi saw Zhao Sheng like this, she knew that he would not give up, so she sighed and stopped talking.
The two walked to the main hall, and Zhao Sheng walked forward alone.
Both of them were working for Mr. Hai, so he no longer had to ask Xiao Guizi to lead him to the meeting.
"Father-in-law, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Sheng walked into the hall and called softly.
Different from a year ago, he now has a closer relationship with Mr. Hai, and he calls his father-in-law directly, just like Xiao Guizi.
Mr. Hai is sitting at the table having a meal. Today's meal consists of white rice, duck braised in wine, donkey sausage roasted with green onions, and a small bottle of wine.
This is the daily meal of Mr. General Manager. He can’t compare with it, he can only envy it.
Mr. Hai put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief.
"Recently, the palace expenses have been reduced, and the monthly materials distributed are a little less."
He suddenly said something like this, which made the second monk Zhao Shengzhang confused.
He knew that the palace's expenses were being reduced. In the past few months, he had often heard the complaints from the servants and eunuchs in the clan's mansion, saying that they were becoming increasingly hungry.
Zhao Sheng also felt strange.
There were four rebellions within the Dali Dynasty, and wolf tribe barbarians were invading Jiubian outside. The war was really shocking.
But it’s not like he’s so short of money that he has to dig around in his own palace to survive?
Fortunately, Zhao Sheng followed Mr. Hai, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, which saved him a lot of worries.
Why did Mr. Hai suddenly tell him this? The monthly number started to decrease last month. Isn’t it going to decrease again?
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard Mr. Hai speak again.
"Although the house is simple and simple, there are still many places to spend money. Regardless of the miscellaneous things, Xiao Guizi uses the medicinal soup to nourish her martial arts. If you want to be diligent in the future, you will need these."
When Zhao Sheng heard about martial arts training, he immediately became serious.
There are nine levels of acquired martial arts.
The first three layers are for opening pulses, levering acupoints, and moving Qi, the middle three layers are for skin, muscles, and bones, and the upper three layers are for Qi and spirit.
Regardless of the fact that getting to the third level is too far away, getting to the third level is something he needs to pay urgent attention to.
If you want to refine the skin, muscles and bones, in addition to polishing yourself, it is more important to use medicinal decoctions to nourish, replenish qi and blood, and check for leaks and fill deficiencies.
He has an immortal aura, so there is no need to worry about replenishing Qi and blood, but he wants to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
For this reason, he must drink medicinal soup to nourish himself.
Hearing that Mr. Hai was also considering his martial arts training, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
However, Mr. Hai sighed, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You pack up the extra meat and vegetables in the house, and take the unfinished meals from a certain family. In the past, you poured them into the swill, but now you can't waste them.
Tonight you go to the market and sell them all."
"Fangshi?"
Zhao Sheng was shocked.
He had heard of Miyazakabo City, and it seemed to be hidden in a very hidden place.
Taizu of this dynasty was born in the late twenties. In his later years, he lived in the deep palace compound. He felt quite uncomfortable, so he asked craftsmen to build a market in the palace so that he could feel the smoke and fire again.
It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and today's emperor only thinks that the Zhao family is complying with destiny. How can he still remember his poor background hundreds of years ago?
Therefore, this market has long been abandoned.
Today's market was established by eunuchs and servants who were also junior eunuchs. They exchanged what they had and started doing business here.
In the palace, it is quite ironic.
But for a humble existence like Zhao Sheng’s predecessor, one only hears his name but doesn’t know where he is.
He lowered his head and said: "Excuse me, father-in-law, where is that city? I have never been there."
"It's right next to the Zhenshun Gate, next to the palace toilet, and under the corner tower. Just look for it... Just don't let others recognize you."
After Mr. Hai finished speaking, he sighed again.
"If it were before, how could there be such a dirty place in the palace? Alas!"
He shook his head and sighed, feeling very sad about the changes in the palace.
Zhao Sheng packed the food on Mr. Hai's plate and walked out of the hall.
Xiao Guizi had already walked back to his room, and he didn't want to be dragged into questioning.
He returned to the room and remembered Mr. Hai's words not to be recognized by others.
"Speaking of which, last year, a black cloak and mask were found at Xiao Fangzi's place. Could it be that they were used by him to go to the black market?"
Zhao Sheng nodded, thinking that this guess was not impossible.
Xiao Fangzi is also a food delivery eunuch. Where did he get so much money?
I'm afraid that the business Mr. Hai decided to do has already been done secretly by someone behind his back.
After dinner tonight, he took his mask, cloak, and packed meals, and then walked out of the clan mansion and walked to Zhenshun Gate in the east.
Zhenshun Gate is the closest palace gate to Chengtian Gate, but the palace city is so big that Zhao Sheng had to leave for a long time even the closest one.
Next to the Zhenshun Gate was the palace toilet. A strange smell hit him. He quickened his pace and stepped over.
But there was only darkness ahead, and the only light was the turret next to the city wall.
There are imperial guards patrolling there. If we go further, I'm afraid... why is there no one there?
Zhao Sheng's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
This is the palace, the most heavily guarded place!
He bravely took a few steps forward, but his expression suddenly turned strange.
He saw a faint light below the turret.
He heard a noisy sound from below the turret, just like the outside of Bianfang City.
