Chapter 274 Gathering in Mingdu
Behind the bank, in the huge manor, a middle-aged man drank tea and looked around. His name was Ming Zhaocai, and he was a member of the royal family from the name, the same generation as Emperor Ming Zhaotian.

Although this person is a member of the royal family, he is different from Ming Zhaotian and others. He prefers to manage money and is proud of it. He even wanted to change his name to Ming Zhaocai. He was punished by Ming Zhaotian for this, but he still did not change it. Ming Zhaotian asked him to take over the empire's finances and become the Minister of Finance.

Mingzhao turned his head to look at the sound of slight footsteps, and saw a young girl with a delicate appearance and a smile on her face, giving off a very refreshing and comfortable atmosphere.

The young girl walked up to Mingzhaocai, bowed and saluted, "Alan pays homage to Master Ming".

Only then did Mingzhao raise his hand, help the girl up, and exclaimed in admiration, "You are Alan?".

"It's the little girl," the woman said respectfully.

Mingzhao said kindly, and looked at the girl, "Not bad, not bad, but to be able to become the big treasurer of Mingdu Wuyun Bank at the age of twenty, I think there must be extraordinary skills."

Alan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are overrepresented."

Mingzhao looked very satisfied, and made a gesture of invitation, and the two sat down.

"Miss Alan, I think you know the purpose of my visit to Wuyun Bank this time," Mingzhao said straight to the point.

Alan nodded, "Naturally, the endless East China Sea is invaded by foreigners, and the empire's warships are insufficient. Wuyun Bank is willing to contribute to provide military supplies in order to repay the empire's support for so many years."

Mingzhao's eyes lit up, "I don't know how much Miss Alan plans to pay?".

Alan clapped his hands, and a servant handed the list to Mingzhao Cai. Mingzhao took a look, his expression changed, and he looked at Alan in surprise, "Girl, this is too much."

Alan smiled and said, "Not much, His Majesty's birthday is approaching, so this is a gift from my Wuyun Bank to His Majesty."

Mingzhao smiled and said, "In that case, thank you Miss Alan."

Alan smiled and said, "It's just a pity that adults are satisfied."

"What a pity? What a pity?" Mingzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Alan in doubt.

Alan sighed, "The little girl comes from a humble background and is a businessman, so she is not qualified to enter the palace to watch the ceremony."

Mingzhao smiled and said, "So that's the case, what's so difficult about it, if the girl is willing, follow me, I can bring the girl into the palace to watch the ceremony."

Alan was overjoyed, "Really? Your lord is willing to condescend to take the little girl into the palace for a pilgrimage?".

"Hahahaha, you're welcome, I can even take the girl to meet the emperor, the emperor spends most of his time in the stars, only that day will come, if the girl is lucky, she can still talk to the emperor," Ming Zhao said with a smile.

Alan quickly thanked.

Not long after, Mingzhao left.

Inside the Wuyun Bank, Alan looked at Mingzhaocai's back, his face was solemn, and his appearance gradually changed. If there were any practitioners here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this woman was one of the top four in the Tenth Academy Grand Competition. bis.

Just as Grantini was about to enter, gongs and drums rang, and countless people walked onto the main road, looking into the distance in admiration.

Grantini was curious, and returned to Alan's appearance again. She walked out of the bank and inquired about it, only to find out that His Majesty's birthday is approaching, and the champion of this period's essay test will enter the academy to pray for His Majesty. She looked curiously, the champion?It's an old title, but those who can get this title are the elite among the elite. In ancient society, this status was not low in gold.

As the sound of gongs and drums got closer and the army cleared the way, a man riding a huge beast waved to the people on both sides, smiling happily.

Grandini saw that the man's face turned black immediately, as if he had eaten a dead fly. Han Chong, it was this guy. Han Chong.

It's disgusting, to actually come to the Shenwu Continent to test for the champion.

In the middle of the road, above the head of the huge alien beast, Han Chong happened to see Grantini, his eyes flashed, he smiled gently, and waved his hand.

Grantini snorted, turned and went back to Wuyun Bank.

Han Chong glanced at Wuyun Bank with a smile, then he didn't care, and continued to move forward.

On the other side of Mingdu, not far from the imperial palace is the Prince's Mansion. At this moment, Prince Minghao looked nervous and stared at the end of the road. Naturally, he was not waiting for the number one scholar, but for a strange woman who had been passed down for thousands of years and created the secret ball. The strange man, the inheritor of the secret.

After the great battle with the outsiders, countless outsiders descended, and no one in the mainland could detect them. When he was in distress, a person who called himself Tianji took the initiative and created the Tianji Ball to find the outsiders for the empire. Since then, the empire has been stable.

Tianji is not a sect, but a kind of inheritance. No one knows what the inheritance of Tianji is, but they all know that it has the mysterious power of divination. Even Emperor Ming Zhaotian respects Tianji, but it is a pity that he can't find it.

Minghao didn't expect Tianji to find him suddenly.

"Your Highness, there is someone" exclaimed one person, and everyone looked at the end of the road, a woman with a tulle face and surrounded by mist slowly approached.

Minghao's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward, followed by everyone.

"Shao Shu sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" the woman bent down slowly, her tone soft.

Minghao was puzzled, "You, are you a contemporary secret?".

The woman saluted, "Exactly, Shaoshu's superficial cultivation has disappointed His Highness."

Minghao hurriedly returned the gift, and said sincerely, "The secret is serious. The senior who created the secret ball was not in the Martial Emperor realm all the year round, but he has unpredictable abilities, regardless of his cultivation level."

The woman's eyes were like stars, and she looked at Minghao, "Your Highness, the little girl can't bear the name of Tianji, so please call me Shaoshu, the little girl's real name is Shaoshu."

Ming Hao nodded, "Miss Shaoshu, please enter the Prince's Mansion."

Shaoshu nodded, "Please, Your Highness."

At this moment, Lu Yin didn't know that there were many acquaintances in Mingdu. After one night, the next day, Lu Yin entered Mingdu and saw the most prosperous capital in the entire Shenwu Continent.

Surrounded by four peaks, the stars of the five fortunes are in the sky, and the broad moat is shining with waves. Mingdu is a place where wind and clouds gather. Nearly half of the top ten in the Evergreen list are in Mingdu. Countless masters appear in the open and in the dark.

At the city gate, dozens of celestial secret balls radiate faint light, non-stop for a second, and sweep away all directions without stopping.

The entire Mingdu is covered by the celestial secret ball, and once there is a star energy fluctuation, it will be discovered immediately.

The headquarters of Daming Mansion and Shenwei Mansion are both in Mingdu. It can be said that even those who are strong in the hunting realm will find it difficult to escape once they enter Mingdu.

Lu Yin marveled at the prosperity of Mingdu, and walked all the way to the headquarters of Daming Mansion.

Just two hours after Lu Yin entered Mingdu, the Mu Wangfu motorcade arrived and entered one after another.

Inside, Ming Yan looked outside the gauze curtain, her eyes were bright, as if she was looking for something.

Ming Zhaoshu closed his eyes and meditated.

At this time, Tang Si's voice came, "My lord, the investigation results are out."

Ming Zhaoshu opened his eyes and "said".

"Yue'er's ancestral home is fine, but it can only be traced back to 800 years ago, and there will be no more," Tang Si replied.

Hearing the question about Fairy Moon, Mingyan's face changed and she lowered her head.

Ming Zhaoshu frowned, "Can't find it, or haven't?".

Tang Si was silent for a while, and said, "Probably not, neither the local city chronicles nor the genealogy, there is no information from 800 years ago."

"Let Yue'er come to see me immediately," Ming Zhaoshu said in a low tone.

"Yue'er is gone" Tang Si's voice was cold.

Ming Zhaoshu was furious, walked out of Rong Huan, looked at Tang Si, "What did you say? It's gone?".

Tang Si lowered his head, "Yes, the results were delivered today, and my subordinates looked for her immediately, but found that she was not in the convoy."

"It was still there yesterday, but it's gone today. I really know how to choose time." Ming Zhaoshu said coldly. That's all."

Tang Si raised his head, "My lord, don't you send someone to arrest her?".

Ming Zhaoshu shook his head, "She should be someone from a powerful force outside the territory. She has taken root in the mainland 800 years ago, and can change her appearance. If she can't find it, forget it." After finishing speaking, she returned to Rong Huan.

Ming Yan let out a breath and showed a smile. She was quite fortunate, she liked Yue'er very much. Although this girl lied to her, she was the first friend for Ming Yan, which was rare. Not deep, not that much hate.

Ming Zhaoshu returned to Rong Huan and sat down, looking tired, he glanced at Mingyan inadvertently, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, daughter is smiling?Did she already know Yue'er's identity?

"Now that His Majesty's birthday is approaching, the Daming Mansion, Shenwei Mansion, including the army, and local experts are all assembled, trying their best to search for traces of outsiders. I heard that the descendants of the heavenly secrets have appeared. As long as there are outsiders in this city, there is absolutely no way to escape. Drop" Ming Zhaoshu said lightly, as if speaking to himself or to Ming Yan.

Ming Yan's face turned pale when she heard this, "Father, the descendant of the secret? Is it the descendant of the secret who invented the secret ball and has the ability to do divination?".

"That's right, Tianji possesses the power of divination, and no outsider can escape. That month, [-]% of them are outsiders, and they will surely die, so there is no need to arrest her," Ming Zhaoshu said lightly.

Mingyan's fingers turned white, and she held them tightly, with an uneasy expression on her face.

Ming Zhaoshu glanced at her, sure that she already knew that Yue'er was an outsider, shook his head and didn't say much, his own daughter knew it herself, she was too kind.

However, Ming Zhaoshu didn't know that Ming Yan was worried not only about Fairy Yue, but also about that man, the man she would never forget.

The Daming Mansion is located in the corner of the Ming Capital, and it is not very eye-catching. Many people know that this is the Daming Mansion, but no one dares to approach it because of the two fierce statues of strange beasts at the entrance of the Daming Mansion.

It's not a real beast, but it exudes an aura that can make ordinary people tremble, and can even create a terrifying illusion, making people insane.

Lu Yin walked outside the Daming Mansion, looked at the two weird beasts made of unknown materials, his eyes became more and more surprised, this, isn't this the original treasure?
Others couldn't tell, but he could tell that the two alien beasts were clearly original treasures, and someone interpreted them as alien beasts.
