Chapter 278 Carrying the Expectations of the World
Imperial capital.
Dou Changsheng looked up at the sky.
Looking at the palace buildings above the sky, there are thousands of rays of light and auspiciousness.
From time to time, there are divine lights, various scenes, jade buildings, towers, and cranes soaring, just like a fairyland.
Compared with this, the places I went to in the past can be said to be remote areas.
What an eye-opener.
This world has extraordinary military power, and the strong destroy the world, but it looks like an ancient society.
It was only at this moment that there was a fairy atmosphere, showing the magnificence of the extraordinary world.
Dou Changsheng stood on the street, looking up at the sky with emotion.
After a long time, watching Dou Changsheng retract his gaze, Wu Junyi slowly said: "You can only see a corner of the palace from here, not the whole picture."
"Only when you truly enter the palace can you feel the magnificence of the Heavenly Palace."
"However, the palace is difficult to view, but the Tianhe Waterfall in the East Palace is a unique sight in the imperial capital. If your highness is interested, you can go to the Star Reaching Tower to see the whole thing."
Dou Changsheng shook his head and said: "Peering into the East Palace will have great consequences."
"In the future, don't say such cruel words in front of me again."
Wu Junyi was very respectful, but he was not without opinions. Ordinary people admired the scenery, but if it were him, he would definitely be accused of peeking into the East Palace.
Wu Junyi did not give up. This was a rare moment of initiative, and he spoke to persuade: "Your Highness and the Crown Prince cannot coexist."
"Your Highness has a compassionate heart, but the Crown Prince does not."
"Now that His Highness has come to the imperial capital for the first time, how can he do nothing while carrying the world's prestige on his back?"
"This not only makes the Crown Prince look down on His Highness, but also lets everyone in the world down."
"Going to the Star-Zhaing Tower, admiring the Tianhe Falls, and viewing the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital can also show your ambition to devour the world and tell aspiring people that you will definitely win the position of the East Palace."
Dou Changsheng glanced at Wu Junyi a few more times and realized that his trip to Zhaixing Tower had something to do with politics.
Once you enter the arena, you can't help yourself.
He glanced at the laughing monk, who smiled and said nothing, but if he refused again, this one would persuade him.
Going to the Star Reaching Tower is in the interest of everyone behind you.
These two people represent Buddhism and aristocratic families, two powerful forces.
If you don't satisfy them, you will definitely suffer backlash.
It is impossible for both parties to break up peacefully and go their separate ways.
Dou Changsheng couldn't help but think of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the previous life. If the boss couldn't bring benefits to the brothers, then the martial artist would just kill the boss and replace him with another one.
If they want to rebel, they directly coerce the Shangguan. If the Shangguan doesn't comply, they will be killed and replaced with another one until someone leads them to rebel.
My life is like walking on thin ice.
Dou Changsheng sighed and said, "Then go to Zhaixinglou."
"This famous building in the world is also a wonder. I have heard about it for a long time. It is not a bad thing to go and see it today."
Wu Junyi respectfully replied: "Your Highness, please walk slowly. Let me take a step first and arrange everything for Your Highness."
After receiving Dou Changsheng's approval, Wu Junyi left in a hurry and headed directly to Zhong Street, the most prosperous street in the imperial capital.
The Star-Zhaing Tower is very easy to find. This tall building is really attracting the wind. It is a towering pavilion that reaches into the clouds. You can see it from a distance, surrounded by white clouds, and you can vaguely see alien beasts flying around it.
The hanging colorful lights are like drizzle, covering all directions of the Star-Zhaing Tower.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the Star Reaching Building, and one carriage after another was parked. Each carriage was luxuriously decorated and valuable.
It is obvious that those who can come here are either rich or noble. In an environment like the imperial capital, there is no small person.
Before Wu Junyi could reach the front of the building, a steward took the initiative to go downstairs and walked out to greet him from a distance. It was obvious that Wu Junyi was also a frequent visitor to the Star Building in the past.
The steward greeted him warmly: "Master Wu."
The steward only said two words before he was interrupted by Wu Junyi with a wave of his hand, and he said directly: "Prepare the Wanxian Pavilion on the highest floor of the Zhaixing Tower. Your Highness will be here soon."
After the steward heard this sentence, he couldn't help showing his embarrassment, and said bitterly: "Master Wu, you are making things difficult for a villain."
"The top thirty-sixth floor of the Star Building has always been booked in advance, especially the top nine floors, which are already fully booked, not only this year, but also next year."
Wu Junyi said coldly: "You can't make the decision on this matter, then find someone who can make the decision."
"I can listen to your nonsense, but His Highness cannot."
"Weigh the weight of it yourself and see if the Star Building will open in the future."
"Even a different owner can do it."
The steward's expression changed drastically and he didn't dare to neglect and left in a hurry. Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a round hat and a mustache had already walked up to Wu Junyi.
Wu Junyi looked at the visitor and said calmly: "It turns out that the guardian of Zhaixing Tower has been changed this year. It is no longer Senior Xu, but Senior Li."
"I don't want to say what I just said a second time. Senior Li also knows the inside story. What should we do?"
"Senior Li, can you tell me directly?"
Li Changye looked solemn and spoke in a deep voice: "Since the establishment of the Star Building, we have never broken the rules."
"Now that Duke Xu has decided to invite friends to a banquet today, we will not chase them away."
After Wu Junyi heard this sentence, he turned around and left, and at the same time said: "Okay."
"I respect your rules."
"But next time Prince Xiao comes to visit, I hope you can entertain him well."
"But even after entertaining him, others will come."
Wu Junyi was clean and tidy, never sloppy, and his movements did not have any pause or deliberate manipulation. After all the sounds fell, the person had walked more than ten feet.
Li Changye listened to these words, his face changed drastically, and he was no longer solemn. He quickly stepped forward to catch up, and at the same time said: "Brother Wu, you also need to measure me up."
"This is the rule set by the host, I have no right to break it."
"If we make an exception today, if there is one, there will be two. If the rules are gone, how can we stand in the world in Zhaixinglou?"
"Without the credibility, Zhaixinglou will just destroy its own brand, and it will no longer be as prosperous as it is today."
Wu Junyi looked at Li Changye who was blocking him, and said coldly: "That's your problem, not mine."
"His Royal Highness arrived in the imperial capital for the first time today, carrying the world's expectations on his back."
"You know the weight of this. If even the Star Reaching Tower dares to refuse, how can it become a big deal?"
"If you don't give your Highness face, even if you want to help the Crown Prince, then you are an enemy."
"The Star Reaching Tower is very good, and it can be used as His Highness's property."
grass.
Li Changye cursed in his heart.
I have seen Wu Junyi in front of me more than once and had dinner together.
Each mouthful was a senior, and it was called affectionate. Both parties enjoyed themselves happily. Although they met for the first time, it was like a meeting of good friends.
Li Changye also felt that Wu Junyi was a good little brother and could get along with him.
But now I know that all this horse riding is fake.
This Wu Junyi is really not the same thing.
If you really have a backer, your arrogant nature will be revealed.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Changye spoke again: "Your Highness has come to the Imperial Capital to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. In the future, he will compete for the position of crown prince. It is precisely to form good relationships and make friends from all walks of life."
"Although I am not as prominent as the Seventeenth Authentic Sect of the Star-Zhaing Tower, I am not an unknown person, and the owner of the building is worthy of Your Highness's friendship."
"Brother Wu is so tough, aren't you afraid of turning people who should be friends into enemies?"
Wu Junyi's expression darkened, and he spoke in a deep voice: "How dare you threaten His Highness?"
Li Changye quickly explained: "I don't dare."
"No one in this world dares to threaten His Highness."
"It's just a matter of fact."
"Now that Wanxian Pavilion has been decided, Xu Guogong has arrived. We cannot evict people directly from Zhaixing Pavilion. But for Cheng Guogong, who is scheduled for tomorrow, I have sent people to negotiate and will compensate Cheng Guogong. I believe that the other party will To give face to His Highness and Zhaixinglou, give up your qualifications."
Wu Junyi was too lazy to argue and said directly: "Whether I give it to you today or not is just a matter of one sentence."
"If you can't make the decision, just send a message to the landlord."
"Whether you are an enemy or a friend is your choice."
"To put it bluntly, if you think that my Highness is like you, doing nothing all day long, and coming to the Star Picking Tower tomorrow, then my Highness must be interested."
"If His Highness is in the mood today, it is impossible for him to do it the next day."
"I will now go back to find His Highness. This journey will give you time to think."
Wu Junyi stopped talking to Li Changye, did not deliberately walk slowly, and strode back the same way.
Li Changye cursed again in his heart.
When people sit at home, misfortune comes from heaven.
If nothing else, this time it was for Duke Xu.
Liu Wudai, the eldest son of Xu Guogong, died, and everyone said that he was murdered by Dou Changsheng. Xu Guogong also disclosed his incompatible attitude with Dou Changsheng more than once.
Originally, everyone thought that Dou Changsheng was dead. Even with the protection of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, it was impossible for eight generations to protect Dou Changsheng every day. The Heavenly Corpse Sect had a great cause, and there would always be times when they failed to take good care of him.
But who would have thought that things would turn around and Dou Changsheng and his team would rise to prominence immediately in Florida.
Before anyone could react, Dou Changsheng had already become a giant, covering the sky with one hand.
Especially the Wudaoshan incident showed that Dou Changsheng was ruthless and ruthless. The leader of Hanshan Temple was not weaker than Xu Guogong, but he was so aggrieved and unexplained.
Dou Changsheng wanted to establish his authority.
No matter whether Liu Wudai was killed by Dou Changsheng or not.
Xu Guogong's attitude has made him Dou Changsheng's target.
This time, they want to expel Xu Guogong from the Star-Zhaing Tower, causing Xu Guogong to lose his face, and arouse Xu Guogong's murderous intention. As long as Xu Guogong moves, Dou Changsheng can use this to fight back.
Put yourself among the righteous, and outsiders will not be able to find anything wrong with you.
I have to say that Dou Changsheng has become more and more powerful after being cleared.
A devil who does evil things is really difficult to deal with after he puts on human skin.
Even deeper, they want Duke Xu and the prince to unite, so that if they take down Duke Xu, they will also seize the prince's handle, and start to pry the foundation of the prince.
What kind of rubbish is this? The Star Reaching Tower was involved in this fight out of sheer misfortune.
Although Li Changye sighed in his heart, he was not slow at all. He directly took out the treasure and contacted the poster, and told all his speculations.
A hoarse female voice sounded: "What do you mean?"
Listening to the voice, Li Changye frowned and said unhappily: "It's such a big deal, where is the poster?"
"Why is it you, the deputy landlord, who comes forward?"
The hoarse female voice replied: "The host has gone into seclusion and will not be able to leave seclusion for a while."
"Now I will be in charge of the Star Building for the time being."
"This seclusion is dangerous and we cannot ask the host to come out. We can only decide through negotiation."
Li Changye sighed directly and said: "Everything is really not going well."
"Why did the host choose to retreat at this time?"
Although it was a sigh, Li Changye's eyes were extremely bright, and his voice could be heard from the other side, but the change in his expression could not be seen, so Li Changye did not hide his distorted expression.
grass.
This dog owner really thinks he is an idiot.
Isn't this an obvious plan to take the blame on him?
As for the deputy landlord?
How is that possible.
The other party is his little wife.
Li Changye has cultivated to the realm of heaven and human, how can he be an idiot?
Why can't you see that the rules of Zhaixinglou are unbreakable, but cannot stop the personal behavior of employees?
I had a quarrel with Lao Xu not long ago, and this could be exploited, saying that I had been dissatisfied with the Star Building for a long time, and only out of anger did I do things that harmed the reputation of the Star Building.
In the end, I was expelled and lost a heavenly realm. I believe that the world will definitely believe that Zhaixinglou is innocent.
After working hard for so many years, I finally became the deputy landlord, but I was about to be pushed out.
Nepotism.
This star-challenging tower is too arrogant.
There is a huge gap between what I said when I recruited myself.
It was agreed that everyone would work together to become bigger and stronger and prosper together.
Now it is becoming a family business and becoming a personal property.
It turns out that it is true that someone becomes a full-time employee in ten years and is expelled in the ninth year.
Li Changye deliberately said: "Dou Changsheng is coming fiercely, so it is better to ask King Chen to come forward. He is your Majesty's brother, a compatriot from the same mother, and Dou Changsheng's uncle. I believe Dou Changsheng will give King Chen a face."
"We are just trying to please you. We have given so many things to King Chen during the New Year and the holidays. It's time for King Chen to repay you."
The deputy host refused directly and said: "Dou Changsheng carries the world's popularity on his back and comes with the general trend."
"Prince Chen can do it at other times, but definitely not now."
"Now I can only aggrieve you."
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them?"
"You also know that the current situation in Zhaixing Tower is bad and it is involved in such a disaster. If you are not careful, the foundation you have finally built will be destroyed."
"But the original poster is not here now. My abilities are limited and I can only choose this worst outcome."
"We have a good time together, it's a good time to get together and part ways."
"The building will do its best to meet your requests."
"I just thought about it. The building will support you in establishing a trading company and opening up your own industry."
"And your illegitimate son will also be arranged in the building to join the Seventeenth Authentic Sect."
Li Changye said bitterly: "The flying birds have exhausted all their good bows, and the cunning rabbits have died and been cooked by lackeys."
"It was calculated mentally but not intentionally. This time I failed."
"The original poster wants to become a family, but he is just talking nonsense."
"It cannot be measured by others. It will naturally decline in the future. Even if it is privately owned, it will no longer be as prosperous as it is today."
A hoarse voice sounded: "You think it's short-sighted."
"But the tree attracts the wind. It has been so difficult these years."
"It's better to retreat."
"There are not so many tigers, leopards and wolves."
"Whatever you hold in your hands belongs to you."
"You are the old brother of the landlord, I won't treat you badly."
"We are not people who don't miss old friendships."
"Today's move may not be a bad ending."
"How powerful the Twelve Links dock was in the past, but where is it today?"
"You are not a coward if you retreat bravely from the rapids!"
