EBE Chapter 126 Reward
Chapter 126 Reward
After finishing the work, Zhang Cheng took Miyamoto Musashi back to Changlefang.
As for Li Bai, he went to Ying Jiufang again.
Ever since receiving the reward from Wu Zetian and being able to drink unlimitedly for free at Ying Jiufang, Li Bai has been hanging out at Ying Jiufang almost every day recently.
Not long after returning to Changlefang, Xiahou Dun limped into Changlefang.
When he saw Xiahou Dun, Zhang Cheng greeted him with a hint of concern.
"Are you hurt?"
Xiahou Dun smiled awkwardly and said, "My vision was limited, and I was accidentally attacked. But fortunately, I have thick skin and flesh, so although I was attacked, the injury was not serious."
Having said that, Xiahou Dun looked at Miyamoto Musashi with a hint of provocation.
"Tonight, I successfully killed two Overlord Vanguards. Fuso, you successfully killed several Overlord Vanguards."
Hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Miyamoto Musashi's face twitched a few times and he said, "I have always been low-key in doing things. I have never been interested in such meaningless competitions."
Xiahou Dun curled his lips slightly and turned his gaze back to Zhang Cheng.
"Boss, I'm going to go down and heal my wounds first."
"Well, I'll find a girl to help you apply the medicine later."
"Thank you, boss!"
Nothing happened that night. At dawn the next day, eunuchs from the palace came to Changlefang.
Wu Zetian wanted to summon Zhang Cheng.
This was not unexpected to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng put the Ark core in his pocket and followed the eunuch straight to the palace.
In the palace, Zhang Cheng met Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie, Sikong Zhen and Cheng Yaojin.
Everyone's face was filled with fatigue.
It was obvious that everyone had a hard time in the battle last night.
Wu Zetian took a closer look and said with a smile, "Zhang Cheng, I summoned you today mainly to thank you. If you hadn't warned me in time yesterday, Chang'an would have suffered even greater damage."
Zhang Cheng bowed and said, "It's not just my credit. Lord Di and Yun Ying also contributed last night. If Lord Di hadn't brought the members of the Hawkeye Guard to the valley in time, it would have been difficult for me to escape."
Zhang Cheng is trying to win over Di Renjie and elevate him.
I have to say that this trick is very effective. After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Di Renjie looked at Zhang Cheng again, his eyes full of gratitude.
"For their contributions, I will reward Di Renjie and Yun Ying separately. Zhang Cheng, what contribution do you want to get?"
Mention the word "merit".
Wu Zetian couldn't help but think of what Wang Zhaojun had said before.
What Wang Zhaojun said before made a lot of sense.
It was impossible for Wu Zetian not to get married.
As the ruler of Heluo, it was impossible for Wu Zetian to live out her life alone and hand over her kingdom to others.
Wu Zetian would definitely marry and give birth to children to take over her kingdom.
Zhang Cheng is a leader in both ability and appearance.
Should be a good companion.
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked at Zhang Chen with a hint of interest.
Zhang Cheng didn’t know what Wu Zetian was thinking, nor did he know that Wang Zhaojun had given Wu Zetian a great assist.
After listening to Wu Zetian's words, Zhang Cheng said very humbly: "I am not short of money, nor do I have any interest in power. I am doing my best to help Chang'an resolve the crisis, because I don't want to see ordinary people buried in Ming Shiyin's conspiracy."
"So, I really don't need Her Majesty the Empress to reward me."
After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wu Zetian couldn't help but stand up.
"I almost forgot that you are now the owner of Changlefang. Changlefang is making a lot of money every day, so you are indeed not short of money now. In addition, you are also an assistant professor at Jixia Academy, so power is indeed not important in your eyes."
Without waiting for Zhang Cheng to reply, Wu Zetian continued, "I cannot let a minister who has made great contributions feel disappointed. I will discuss your reward with you in detail later."
Wu Zetian's words made Zhang Cheng raise his eyebrows slightly.
The reward needs to be discussed in detail separately. Is Wu Zetian afraid that she is being too polite?
Looking past Zhang Cheng, Wu Zetian said to Di Renjie: "Di Renjie, I will give you a task next."
"I have a junior fellow named Zhang Liang. I will give you three months to invite Zhang Liang to Chang'an."
After listening to Wu Zetian's words, Di Renjie nodded slightly, and then asked Wu Zetian: "May I ask your Majesty, what are the characteristics of this Zhang Liang you are looking for?"
"feature?"
Wu Zetian frowned slightly.
Wu Zetian really knew nothing about her junior brother Zhang Liang.
Not to mention Zhang Liang's appearance, Wu Zetian didn't even know what abilities Zhang Liang had.
After a moment of silence, Wu Zetian said to Di Renjie: "What are Zhang Liang's characteristics? I don't know. I know this task is a bit difficult, I can extend the time to half a year."
After hearing what Wu Zetian said, Di Renjie felt like his head was about to explode.
The King's Continent is not big, but not small either.
At present, trying to find someone in the King's Continent based on just a name is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After all, there must be many people named Zhang Liang in the King's Continent.
Seeing Di Renjie looking embarrassed, Wu Zetian suddenly became serious.
"Di Renjie, I asked you to take charge of the Dali Temple. Now the Dali Temple can't help me with my worries?"
Di Renjie's face changed, and he quickly bent down and said to Wu Zetian: "The Dali Temple must complete the task assigned by Your Majesty within the specified time."
Seeing Di Renjie's bitter expression, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I happen to have nothing to do recently, so why not let me handle this matter?"
"Within a month, I promise to send Zhang Liang to Her Majesty the Empress."
Zhang Cheng's words made Wu Zetian and Di Renjie raise their eyebrows at the same time.
Wu Zetian did not expect that Zhang Cheng would dare to make such a boast.
Di Renjie did not expect that Zhang Chen would stand up and share his worries at the critical moment.
After realizing what was happening, Di Renjie quickly whispered to Zhang Cheng, "Brother Zhang, you can't talk big in front of the Empress. Otherwise, if you don't get the job done, it will be a crime of deceiving the Empress."
"Don't worry, Master Di. I will definitely find Zhang Liang within a month."
After disguising himself, Zhang Liang is now in Changlefang.
Not to mention a month, even if it was only half a day, Zhang Cheng could successfully fool Zhang Liang and make him come to see Wu Zetian obediently.
"it is good!"
Seeing that Zhang Cheng was confident.
Wu Zetian could not help but stand up again and said to Zhang Cheng: "If you can really find Zhang Liang within a month, I will definitely thank you very much."
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, and then he heard Wu Zetian shouting to the crowd, "Di Renjie, you all should leave first. I have something to say to Zhang Cheng alone."
