Chapter 374 [Golden Embryo] Sky

In recent days, there have been quite a few foreigners in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the northern capital.

Of course, the people also knew the reason. They came simply for Ye Diantang’s funeral.

Of course, all this has little to do with Zhu Zhongjing. After all, he is no longer the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he had little relationship with him when he was emperor before.

"But if Ye Zhou dies, the days after Ming Dynasty will probably not be easy."

As a former emperor, Zhu Zhongjing certainly dreamed of regaining power, so he also knew about several large forces surrounding the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with ordinary people, he undoubtedly understands the embarrassing situation that the Ming Dynasty is in today better.

But what he couldn't understand was why the Ming Dynasty had to publicize it so widely. Under normal circumstances, the best option would have been to announce Ye Zhou's death secretly.

"never mind."

"It has nothing to do with me anyway."

After thinking for a while without any idea, Zhu Zhongjing gave up. He turned his eyes to the old Beidu bean juice on the table in front of him.

As an authentic native of Beidu, Zhu Zhongjing had never tasted the Beidu specialty in front of him that made him feel vaguely uneasy.

He frowned and took a sip of the juice with a subtle color, then put it back on the table with an expressionless face.

Seeing his appearance, the middle-aged and elderly people who had mistaken him for a tourist from outside the area withdrew their gazes from watching the show with some disappointment.

They thought Zhu Zhongjing would show more pain.

However, as the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhongjing must have had this level of cunning.

Just as he was about to stand up and leave, a burst of conversation suddenly caught his attention.

".Is it true? You know this kind of gossip?"

"That's right. The brother of my sister's son's classmate is the card maker who is responsible for receiving those foreigners. He said that the Mughal people from the south who came this time are of extraordinary status."

".It can't be that the person who came here is a master card maker, right?"

"Hey! How did you know that?"

The old man who was revealing the news heard the voice, turned his head and saw a man in fancy clothes with a strange expression standing behind him.

This person is naturally Zhu Zhongjing.

Just as he was about to respond casually, his attention was attracted by the communication device in his hand vibrating twice.

It’s Bai Yueming.

"What do you want from me?"

Although Zhu Zhongjing still enjoys the treatment of a diamond-level card maker provided by the association, the two sides do not have much interaction on weekdays.

After paying the two old men for breakfast, Zhu Zhongjing left the roadside breakfast shop.

Not long after, he returned to the palace where he had lived for decades.

Looking at Bai Yueming, who was much more hunched than in his memory, Zhu Zhongjing smiled and asked, "Master Bai, long time no see."

"What's the matter with you looking for me this time?"

As he spoke, he secretly looked at the other beings in the hall.

Needless to say, Fang Wenlong and Ji Weirui are old acquaintances of Zhu Zhongjing. The last time he abdicated, these three master card makers were present.

but
This was the first time he saw the young man behind Bai Yueming.

Of course, Zhu Zhongjing must know the other party's identity.

Russell is the new master card maker of Ming Dynasty. How could he not know the news that spread throughout Ming Dynasty some time ago?

What's more, the other party had just defeated a palace-level demon head-on not long ago.

However, Zhu Zhongjing had reservations about this. After all, according to his understanding, Russell was not the only master present at the time.

In that case, it would be clear whether Russell defeated the palace-level demon alone or the master-level card makers present at the time worked together to defeat the palace-level demon.

Of course, he could understand why the association would promote it this way. After all, after Ye Zhou's death, they urgently needed to introduce a successor to stabilize the people's hearts.

And the young Russell is naturally the best choice.

However, Zhu Zhongjing's emotional intelligence was not so low, so he just smiled at Russell and nodded as a greeting, then turned his gaze back to Bai Yueming.

Bai Yueming seemed not to notice his little action. He said, "My dear Zhu, I am here to ask you if you can attend Ye Diantang's funeral."

"after all."

The old man didn't finish his words, but he believed that Zhu Zhongjing could understand the meaning of his words.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhu Zhongjing couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The man in fancy clothes subconsciously refused and said, "This..."

“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

He is now just an ordinary diamond-level card maker.

Zhu Zhongjing thought so, but he also knew that he had an indelible label, that is, the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He was really afraid that the master card makers from the association in front of him were going to break their previous promise and trick him into a trap and kill him.

But then Zhu Zhongjing realized that he had thought wrong. After all, any one of the people present at the moment could easily kill him.

As if he had already guessed what he would say, Bai Yueming shook his head with some regret: "Since Mr. Zhu doesn't want to, then forget it."

"I'm sorry to have made you come all the way here."

At this time, Zhu Zhongjing was also somewhat confused by Bai Yueming's attitude.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master Bai, could you tell me what exactly you are going to have me do?"

If it was just to attend Ye Zhou's funeral, Zhu Zhongjing felt that he could agree to it.

Facing his question, Bai Yueming exchanged glances with the people behind him, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, little friend Zhu."

"We originally thought that if you are willing, we would let you handle negotiations with some other countries."

"After all, the identities of some people are quite sensitive, so it's not appropriate for us to approach them."

After hearing these words, Zhu Zhongjing couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and asked tentatively: "Is it from the Mughal Empire?"

Upon hearing this, master card makers including Russell were stunned. They never thought that the person in front of them could actually guess the target.

No, not necessarily a guess.

Several people secretly exchanged glances, discussing whether Zhu Zhongjing was still secretly observing the association's every move.

However, before they could come to a conclusion, the man in fancy clothes shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no."

"Master Bai, you should seek help from someone else."

He was not prepared to fight against a hall-level card maker for the sake of the association. After all, from what he knew, the [Golden Embryo] of the Mughal Empire had a somewhat eccentric personality.

Having said that, it is certainly impossible for the association's top leaders present to force Zhu Zhongjing to do something he doesn't want to do.

In this regard, Bai Yueming could only sigh slightly, then turned his head to look at his disciple: "Xiao Luo, I'm sorry to inconvenience you." Hearing this, Russell was not dissatisfied. After all, if the Spirit King was counted, he was already the strongest combat force in the Ming Dynasty.

This is also why they wanted Zhu Zhongjing to make contact in the first place.

After all, although everyone knows that the relationship between the association and the court is a life-and-death one, don't forget that on the surface Zhu Zhongjing voluntarily abdicated and made way for others.

Therefore, Zhu Zhongjing, who is nominally a "sage" similar to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, is the most suitable candidate.

It can not only express the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on top-level card makers, but also appear less flattering.

It can even be used to secretly disgust the Mughal Empire.

However, after hearing Bai Yueming's arrangement, Zhu Zhongjing suddenly became interested, because he was really curious about Russell's level.

To be honest, after he stopped being an emperor, he felt that he vaguely had the mentality of a fun-loving person as mentioned on social networks.

And no matter how perverse the character of the [Golden Embryo] is, he won't directly start a war in the Ming Dynasty, right?
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Master Bai, if you are willing to let Master Luo and I go together, I can agree to it."

Having said that, he thought for a moment, then added: "Of course, the main negotiation will still be done by Master Luo."

Just when Zhu Zhongjing was wondering if he was too shameless, Bai Yueming agreed directly: "Then it's settled."

"I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhu, from now on."

The reason why the old man agreed was very simple, that is, sometimes there are some things that you cannot choose not to do just because you don’t want to.

Since Zhu Zhongjing chose to actively walk into this vortex, he had no control over what would happen next.

What's more, even if all the above factors are put aside, Bai Yueming will still agree.

In the final analysis, it would be better if Ye Zhou's funeral had no flaws. After all, before overthrowing the imperial court, this hall-level card maker had been maintaining the Ming Dynasty as a whole.

The fact that Zhu Zhongjing was able to attend his funeral brought a relatively perfect end to the matter.

After watching Zhu Zhongjing leave, Bai Yueming turned around and patted Luo Su on the shoulder: "I don't know what the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty is up to. I'm afraid you, Luo, will have to worry about what happens next."

Hearing this, Russell nodded.

However, according to his judgment, perhaps Zhu Zhongjing did not actually have any complicated thoughts in his mind.

After all, the imperial court is now doomed. Even if the other party is really prepared to rebel and restore the Ming Dynasty, they must have the strength to do so, right?

Today, the only four remaining master card makers in Ming Dynasty all belong to the association.

Perhaps there are still some remnants of the imperial court remaining in secret, but under the circumstances they obviously do not have the courage to show up.

It's impossible that after meeting the Mughal Empire's top card maker, Zhu Zhongjing would kneel down in front of him and cry, saying "I really want to be the emperor"?

Not knowing what Russell was thinking, Bai Yueming turned around and talked about something else: "By the way, Xiao Luo."

"You are familiar with the personnel sent by Great Britain and Tsarist Russia, so I will leave these two to you as well."

After hearing his teacher's words, Russell actually wanted to correct himself that he and Leon were not familiar with each other, and he even accidentally snatched the materials needed by the other party.

But in the end he gave up explaining and nodded in agreement.

the next day.

Russell waited for Zhu Zhongjing's arrival in front of the palace gate.

Fortunately, the other party was a punctual person, so he didn't have to wait long.

"Sorry, Master Luo, I'm late."

"It's okay, I just got here too."

After a brief greeting, Russell prepared to go to the place where the Mughal Empire delegation was staying with Zhu Zhongjing.

Since the Ming Dynasty no longer has an emperor, the former imperial palace is used to entertain these people from other countries.

Zhu Zhongjing was not dissatisfied with this. To be honest, although the palace was very large, there was not much he could control when he was emperor.

After all, the former imperial court was not willing to let him touch power again.

However, although the palace is large, it is nothing to Russell and Zhu Zhongjing, two high-level card makers.

Soon, the two arrived at the palace where the Mughal Empire was staying.

Russell waved his hand to the Ming card maker who was waiting here, and said softly: "Go and tell them that Russell from Wanxiang is here to visit."

"Yes, Master Luo."

Even if the person in the hall at this moment is a hall-level card maker, Ming Dynasty will definitely send someone to watch over him.

Part of the reason is to facilitate the resolution of the other party's demands, and part of the reason is naturally surveillance.

Even for the [Golden Embryo], this kind of surveillance is no different from having no surveillance at all.

Soon, a fair-skinned young man followed the Ming card maker who had just gone to report and came to Russell and the others.

This person looked Russell up and down without any respect, and asked in a contemptuous tone: "Are you Russell?"

Seeing the attitude of the Mughal envoy, Zhu Zhongjing took a step back.

He was afraid of blood splattering on himself. After all, in his perception, the man in front of him was just a small Emerald-level card maker, but he had the courage to speak to Russell, a master-level card maker, in this way.

However, in the face of the other party's provocation, Russell's expression remained unchanged. He just said calmly: "Lead the way."

It was just a minor character, and he didn't even feel offended.

Hearing this, the white-skinned messenger wanted to say something, but then he remembered the Lord's instructions. He snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the hall with Russell and the other two.

As the heavy door was pushed open, a heart-pounding breath suddenly came from the hall.

Glancing at Zhu Zhongjing, whose face was a little pale, Russell released some mental power to protect him.

Sensing the young man's aura, Zhu Zhongjing whispered a thank you: "Thank you, Master Luo."

In response to his thanks, Russell nodded slightly to indicate that he should not take it to heart, and then took the initiative to walk forward.

Seeing this scene, the white-skinned messenger's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly chased after him.

It's a pity it's too late.

Russell has seen the purpose of this trip.

In his eyes, a handsome young man was supporting his head with his right hand, looking him up and down with interest.

At this time, the white-skinned messenger who was about to come to Russell's side suddenly shouted: "Since you have seen the Lord! Why don't you bow?!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and tried to force Russell to kneel on the ground.

Looking at the unresponsive [Golden Embryo] Motian, Russell couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to have a perverse personality.

Then he turned his head and looked at the white-skinned messenger.

The messenger was frightened by Russell's look and his outstretched hand froze in place.

But soon, he became angry and stretched out his hand to force Russell to kneel down.

But before he could touch Russell's body, a scream suddenly rang out in the silent palace.

"what!!"
