Chapter 92: Double Pupils Appear
Zhongjing.
This place has expanded more than ten times since the founding of the country.
As the center of the world, it is prosperous.
Two years ago, Western nobles were still lingering here and were reluctant to go back.
They wore Chinese clothes and lingered in various entertainment venues, either listening to operas, gambling, or cockfighting and horse racing.
The joy here is beyond words.
"We are almost going back." In the teahouse, the French prince put down his teacup and sighed deeply.
"Yes, we are going back to inherit the throne, so why not create a small China in the country, so that we can be friendly with China and trade with each other."
Everyone's eyes lit up and found that this method is indeed feasible.
"Wait until the emperor has finished his birthday banquet, and then we will set off with the envoys to go back."
"Okay!"
Recently, Zhongjing is more lively than ever. As the date of the emperor's birthday banquet approaches, great scholars, wealthy merchants, vassal kings, dukes, monarchs of vassal states, and envoys from various countries have arrived.
As Dachang's influence has increased over the years, many small countries have taken the initiative to submit, and there are even many survivors of the previous dynasty. All hostile countries have also begun to show their goodwill, all of which have led to today's prosperous situation.
Half a month before the banquet began, all places in Zhongjing began to decorate with lights and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
The emperor's birthday had nothing to do with them, but they could have a big meal, and there were also grains and sugar. Who wouldn't be happy?
Dongshi, this place is the most prosperous market in Dachang.
It is full of various goods and objects from home and abroad, and people from all kinds of foreign countries can see them. The local people are not surprised by this, and there are also medical apprentices of the Baidi Sect who are treating patients for free.
Here, merchants raised funds to build a huge lighthouse. This lighthouse will shine on the birthday of the saint, and it can be seen for miles around. The scene is not ordinary.
On the top floor of the high-rise building, merchants are wearing gorgeous clothes. There are sea merchants, almost monopolized business gangs in the mainland, and new factory owners.
There are also some great scholars of the old era, court officials, etc.
"Do you think...will Master Xu come this time?" someone asked.
"Maybe."
"Does Master Xu really have magic? Maybe there are other secrets."
Dachang emphasized commerce, which improved the status of many merchants. With the improvement of their status, they naturally knew many secrets that had never been heard of. The way of magic was not feasible in this world.
With the passage of time, coupled with the rise of many new things, they gradually doubted their original memories.
After all, memories can be blurred.
Perhaps the so-called flying sky is just the hot air balloon developed by Tiangong Academy, and those bizarre lighting phenomena.
The main reason why they think so is that they have different intentions.
These people are rich enough to rival a country, but they do not have the corresponding status.
The official documents of the government make them very uncomfortable, such as not allowing factories to be built upstream, not allowing monopolies, and strict standards for quality, various commercial legislation, which make them very uncomfortable.
They are eager to obtain a higher status and better exploit the people, so they bribe officials, stand on the side of the prince politically, and let their family members participate in the imperial examinations, etc.
But they dare not go too far.
The emperor can be deceived, but the emperor of heaven cannot be deceived. In the eyes of the world, the emperor of heaven is Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan, the master of heaven, is the pillar of the dynasty, and his prestige is even higher than that of the emperor.
Dachang has been established for so many years, and there has never been any unrest. This is because there is such a god.
Not only merchants, but also the forces lurking in the old times, foreign monarchs, vested interests of certain groups, and military leaders.
They are extremely looking forward to this being a scam.
In this way, they can also start to connect and plot great undertakings.
"This is a prosperous commercial era, created by us together!" Li Xiong, the leader of the sea merchants, raised his glass, his eyes burning with ambition.
"Long live!!"
It would be best if the monarch stepped down and the merchants were elected like some small countries in Europe, so that he could also strive for the supreme power.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to unite all parties and secretly accumulate strength, and he happened to have such financial resources.
Everything depends on these few days.
After the banquet, Li Xiong began to contact all parties. He has a very strong network of contacts. Through his keen sense of communication, he can see which party has a different heart or has a basis for cooperation with him.
At the same time, the envoys of Europe also set foot in this city for the first time.
Seeing this magnificent city, everyone was amazed.
This is a great city that cannot be described in words.
Pedestrians on the street looked at them happily. This kind of part that amazes outsiders is never boring every time.
On the birthday.
The palace, the inner and outer cities held a banquet.
Changguo has unprecedented national strength, so it is no problem to hold hundreds or thousands of banquets.
Xu Yong, who is sixty years old, still has a full head of black hair and is energetic, not like an old man.
This disappointed some people.
"Greetings to the emperor!"
"Greetings to the father!"
"Greetings to the emperor, the lord of Shenzhou, the king of kings."
Envoys, princes, civil and military officials, and sons came to see him.
Xu Yong smiled and asked everyone to sit down, but he was still secretly examining everyone.
Soon, everyone sat down, and the banquet was held without too many formalities.
There was an empty seat next to Xu Yong.
Everyone knew that this was reserved for the Heavenly Master Xu Xuan.
In the past ten years, I don’t know what the Heavenly Master has become.
Everyone also had some doubts in their hearts.
If it is a middle-aged person in his early forties, through certain means of maintenance, he can still look like a young man in his early twenties.
It’s different in his sixties. At a certain age, people will age rapidly.
"Maybe it’s not easy to pretend." Someone speculated maliciously in his heart.
Da da da!
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from all around.
Everyone looked around in confusion, but didn’t see anyone riding a horse?
At this time, a shadow covered everyone, and it turned out to be a white cloud.
There was an unusually majestic white horse on the white cloud, estimated to be two meters high, covered with silver-white scales, and there was a person on the horse.
The strong wind could not blow his clothes. His skin was as white as jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked to be in his early twenties.
Another immortal came to the world to show his magical powers.
This move directly broke everyone's ambitions, and those ambitious elements lost their fighting spirit in an instant.
"My God!"
"Joshu!"
The messengers of Europa no longer doubted the authenticity of the miracle, they saw it with their own eyes.
In the last days, one person can rule the country.
The white horse landed, and everyone stood up to salute.
"Greetings to the Heavenly Master!"
Xu Yong hurriedly went up and smiled: "Brother, you are here?"
"Well, you are old." Xu Xuan patted Xu Yong's shoulder. The scene was very strange that a young man was so old-fashioned to an old man.
"I dare not compare with you, brother, you are still as elegant as ever."
Everyone envied it in their hearts. This is immortality. He sits and watches the prosperity of the world, and he remains unmoved regardless of the ups and downs of the world.
Xu Xuan looked around, and most of the people's eyes were filled with fear and terror.
"Everyone, get up."
"Yes!"
The interrupted banquet was held again.
Everyone looked at Xu Xuan intentionally or unintentionally, as if they saw something. At the same time, the special white horse was also eye-catching.
Xu Xuan sat next to Xu Yong, and the two talked from time to time.
"The double pupils have not been found yet. The clues were lost before the Xia Dynasty, and they may be buried deep underground."
"Don't worry, take your time." Xu Xuan seemed very calm.
"The relationship with the surrounding countries must be handled well. Today I came out to calm the situation for you. Now I will issue some policies and unite all parties. If you don't accept it, declare war. If you can't fight, you can start with cultural infiltration."
Xu Xuan's words were neither hurried nor slow, and only Xu Yong could hear his voice.
"Yes!"
After the banquet, Xu Yong first captured the merchants who had been in contact with each other in the past few days, and then reached various commercial treaties with envoys from various countries.
As the envoys from various countries returned, the Chinese culture was everywhere, and it could be said that the books and cars were all mixed together.
The disciples of Baidi Sect were everywhere, and they were shouldering important tasks.
One year, three years... ten years, they were looking for relevant clues day by day.
Their footprints were all over the world.
Australia, they set foot here and brought civilization.
In America, they fought with the people of Great Britain and united with the indigenous people. These indigenous people were similar to the Chinese people, which attracted the attention of the disciples of Baidi Sect.
Finally, they found the clue - the Pyramid of the Sun God.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Xuan wanted to roar to the sky.
Here it comes! The greatest mystery of this world!
