C2648 Deep Hatred(last Part)
It seemed that this was the common disease of eunuchs because they lacked something. Lacking confidence, wanting to find something else, emitting a strong fragrance... Different from a woman's fragrance, this fragrance seemed to cover up something else... It smelled extremely uncomfortable.
Dongfang Qingyu already regretted treating him to a room in Supreme Pavilion. He regretted opening a private room even more. If it was in the lobby, it would be so good. At least the air would be ventilated. Among the eunuchs he had come into contact with, only Hai Dafu's condition was slightly better. Perhaps he was far away from the Imperial Palace, living more like a person from the pugilistic world. On the contrary, the smell on his body was not that heavy.
"Combat King, you are now a third grade official in the Imperial Court. It is very strange for you to be a mixed family member. Is there anything else that the mixed family can help with? " Eunuch Li put down the Thousand-tailed Gecko. He had been looking at it carefully for five to six minutes. Finally, he confirmed that the gecko was real and genuine. It wasn't that Dongfang Qingyu was fooling him with something.
From third grade civil servants to any dynasty, they were all important officials of the imperial court. If there was anything that they could not do, a eunuch like him would not be able to do it.
The power of a eunuch came from the Emperor. It seemed like no one dared to disobey, but the rules of the Imperial Court restricted that eunuchs could not do politics. In this aspect, the power of a eunuch could not even be compared to a small Grade Nine County Magistrate.
"Eunuch Li must be joking. We are all doing things for the imperial court. The Imperial Court is doing things for the Emperor, while Eunuch Li is directly doing things for the Emperor. There are many things that Eunuch Li can help with. " Dongfang Qingyu spoke very straightforwardly and did not beat around the bush. He was the one who was at a disadvantage when fighting with an old fox like Eunuch Li.
"This is the first time I've heard someone say that I work for the Imperial Court. I've seen at least eight thousand officials, even if there aren't ten thousand. Everyone says that they are doing things for the people of the world to benefit the country. " Eunuch Li let out a sharp and unpleasant laugh, as if it was Dongfang Qingyu's words. It suits his appetite.
"It depends on who you are facing. If you don't trust someone, I will say the same thing. However, I think that Eunuch Li is trustworthy, so there is no need to hide it anymore." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Alright, just tell me what you want from me. As long as it's someone I can help with, I will do my best." It was rare for Eunuch Li to make such a promise.
"I heard that the Imperial Court intends to rebuild Black Tortoise City. As the War King of human race, I would like to speak up for the Imperial Court and contribute a little. Do you think I have any hope?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li's movements stiffened, and he only smiled after a while. He said to Dongfang Qingyu, "To tell the truth, I just promised someone from the Divine Immortal Pavilion. Agree to help them send a man to the Black Warrior City mayor position."
"The pills from the Divine Immortal Pavilion are indeed very powerful, but the pills they refine are all reserved. Have Eunuch Li heard of the name of the Divine Immortal Pill? Everyone calls it the Devil Pill. " Dongfang Qingyu narrowed his eyes and quickly returned to normal. His thoughts were very quick, and Eunuch Li held a high position. There weren't many things that could move him. Power, money, and everything else were meaningless to him. Power, he had reached the peak, he couldn't go up. And then there was the Emperor. Money, he had so much money that he couldn't spend it all. Besides, he didn't have any more chances to spend money.
The only thing he wanted to do was to become a normal man. A complete man. Tang Zhiqiu walked the path of a thousand-tailed gecko. It was impossible for the Divine Immortal Pavilion to have such good luck. Since they had also found a thousand-tailed gecko, there was only one possibility. He had borrowed the ability to refine medicine.
"What is a Devil Pill?" Eunuch Li had never heard of such a thing.
"The Divine Immortal Pavilion refined a Divine Immortal Pill, which is said to be able to increase one's strength. Benefiting the people. In fact, benefiting the people is a lie. Controlling the people is true, but the Divine Immortal Pill is flawed. It had to be taken regularly, otherwise, its strength would drop drastically, and it would be better to die than live. If one did not listen to its orders, thinking that he was threatening the people, thus, he did not give out Divine Immortal Pills. As a result, the Divine Immortal Pills were called Devil Pills by the people. There's no way to get out of control anymore." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Is there such a thing?" Eunuch Li was shocked.
"This is already a semi-public matter. You can send someone to investigate as you wish. It's very easy to find out." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Eunuch Li was a very cautious person. He immediately sent out a young eunuch who was following him. The young eunuch returned not long after he left. He crouched by Eunuch Li's ear and whispered the information he had gathered. Eunuch Li's expression changed again and again. In the end, he said to Dongfang Qingyu, "It was all thanks to the Warlord's reminder. If not, I would have become a puppet of the Divine Immortal Pavilion."
"Duke Li is too serious. Eunuch Li is by the side of the Emperor. The grace of the Emperor is vast and auspicious. Even if I didn't say it, there were others who told him that I just happened to meet him." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Eunuch Li liked Dongfang Qingyu's humble attitude very much. He pondered for a few seconds. He said with a serious expression, "To tell the truth, the Battle King, Black Tortoise City has already been regarded as his exclusive property by Grand Preceptor Pang. No one else is allowed to touch it. If the War King only wants to fight for the position of Deputy City Lord, the mixed clans still have some face. If he wants the position of City Lord... I'm afraid it'll be slightly difficult!"
"Eunuch Li, don't worry. What this king is least afraid of is difficulty." Dongfang Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. Why did Grand Preceptor Pang appear? Who was this person? The Grand Preceptor was a first grade. No matter which Divine Immortal it was, he was stronger than him.
Even so, his face remained calm, as if everything was under his control.
"There are five conditions to rebuild the Black Tortoise City." Eunuch Li looked at Dongfang Qingyu for a while. There was nothing wrong with his face. He then said, "First, pay the deposit of 500,000 gold coins. Second, pay the deposit of 500,000 gold coins. The population is about one million. Third, the Battle Achievement Value is more than one hundred million. Fourth, recommended by three officials of the Rank-2 and above. The last one was already completed for the War King. He had to be at least a rank 5 civil servant. My abilities are limited, so I can only help him fulfill the fourth condition."
" This king does not understand. The Battle Achievement Value is greater than 100 million. How did Grand Preceptor Pang achieve it? " Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"The Battle Achievement Value can be replaced with gold coins. 10 gold coins for 1 Battle Achievement Value." Eunuch Li smiled.
Dongfang Qingyu sucked in a breath of cold air. If he used all his gold coins to exchange for the Battle Achievement Value... That would be one billion gold coins, a terrifying amount. Then, a second question popped up in his mind, "There doesn't seem to be anyone of the fifth rank in the Divine Immortal Pavilion, right?"
"We can ask the Emperor to give the order and specially promote him. The officials of the Second Rank-2 of third grade Imperial Court will definitely have some objections. If he is only at rank 5, no one will say anything." Li Gong was fair.
"What if the Emperor gives a special order?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"If it's a rank 5 official, you only need to donate 50,000 gold coins to the Imperial Court." Duke Li was fair.
It was another sum of money. Dongfang Qingyu was dumbfounded! Why did it feel like all problems could be solved with money in the eyes of the Imperial Court?
"Does the War King know how many officials the Imperial Court has raised?" Eunuch Li asked.
"I don't know!" Dongfang Qingyu shook his head.
"About 48,000 officials in office." Justice Li.
"So many?" Dongfang Qingyu had already eaten. It was only four cities, plus a palace. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that there would be so many people.
Eunuch Li was talking about officials, but it did not include constables, bailiffs, jailers, and so on.
"Does the Warlord know how many relatives there are in the royal family?" Eunuch Li asked again.
"I don't know!" Dongfang Qingyu still shook his head.
"300,000 people." Duke Li calmly added, "These people do not produce or work, but they need to be raised by the royal family. The treatment is three times that of officials."
Dongfang Qingyu was speechless. Birth was very important, and it was the most obvious sign here.
"Military expenses, let's not talk about the miscellaneous families. The War King is a soldier, so he knows a thing or two about it." Eunuch Li sighed, "It's not that the Imperial Court values money, it's that the Imperial Court lacks money."
"Other than these five conditions, what else do I need to prepare?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Submit the materials to me. There are currently three competitors. I reckon there are still people hiding in the shadows who will explode in the end. In other words, the final number of competitors might be five people. It might also be six people. You still have to prepare some money. The miscellaneous family needs to open up some joints to ensure that nothing goes wrong. " Li Gong was fair.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li. Tomorrow, I'll have someone send the materials and gold coins over." Dongfang Qingyu said.
After Eunuch Li returned to the palace, he called Cao Zhixiu over to ask him about the Thousand-tailed Gecko. Cao Zhixiu stammered, unable to speak. Eunuch Li fiercely reprimanded him. He was very grateful to Dongfang Qingyu. If it wasn't for Cao Zhixiu's incompetence, he wouldn't have come into contact with the Divine Immortal Pavilion. He had almost been deceived.
If it wasn't for Dongfang Qingyu's timely reminder, he might have been fooled. The Thousand-tailed Gecko that Dongfang Qingyu had given him had also made him feel free of worries. He also found Cao Zhixiu extremely unpleasant to the eye. However, seeing that Cao Zhixiu had been filial to him for so many years, in the end, he still forgave him.
Cao Zhixiu left on his knees. Eunuch Li's flash of ruthless light made him sweat profusely even when he returned home. Then, he turned this fear into fury and poured it all onto Tang Zhiqiu.
It took him less than 30 minutes to activate his power. After opening up all the joints, the Imperial Court's efficiency was unprecedentedly fast. Tang Zhiqiu was still thinking about how to resolve the crisis. He wanted to fight back. While doing things well, he also had to fight back against Dongfang Qingyu.
In order to make sure nothing went wrong, he specifically found Tang Wan Er to come up with a vicious plan.
"... Let's create public opinion first and force Dongfang Qingyu to use up the Super Forbidden Spell. After that, I will create chaos in the south and cause the hatred of the Southern Barbarians. Please write a letter to beg Dongfang Qingyu to fight the battle. Dongfang Qingyu is a Combat King. Asking him to lead his troops to fight the Southern Barbarians was an open conspiracy, and he couldn't refuse it. The Imperial Court won't reject it, and the Prime Minister doesn't seem to like Dongfang Qingyu either. At that time, we will reveal the news to the Southern Barbarians, even if Dongfang Qingyu had three heads and six arms. We must not lose. This is not safe. We still have to arrange for our own people. Find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, that way we will be safe. At that time, we will be able to denounce Dongfang Qingyu. We will take the opportunity to capture all of his forces in one fell swoop. As long as Dongfang Qingyu fails, I'm afraid we don't have to do anything. There are many people who don't like him." Tang Wan Er smiled and said.
"Wan Er is really a Zhuge!" Brother 3 billion is really generous with his compliments.
Just as Tang Wan Er was being modest, Tang Zhiqiu's message came to mind. He opened it and saw that his whole body suddenly stiffened and his face turned green and black. A few seconds later, his face turned white again, then red like blood. He let out a roar that sounded like a wild beast: "How dare you - -" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he collapsed to the ground.
"Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu - - -" Tang Wan'Er was shocked, while her brother, who had 3 billion yuan, stuck his head out and stared at the message. It wrote:... "The fifth vice city lord of 'Azure Dragon City', Tang Zhiqiu, has violated his superiors, and is lawless. He was not capable enough to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. After the Cabinet's approval, yes."
