Chapter 461 for
Although Sun Chengzong is not a top existence in the royal family, there are not many members of the royal family who can treat him so politely. The palace woman in front of him is one of the few people he feared the most.
The palace woman's name is Chen Xuan, who is the wife of the Evergreen Emperor, that is, the current queen. Although Chen Xuan is beautiful and white, she is extremely handsome, but she is an extremely strong woman. Changqing Emperor has only one wife and has been closed all year round. Although Chen Xuan is not the master of the royal family, she will habitually intervene in many things.
The most important thing is that Chen Xuan herself is also an extremely strong monk. She is smart, ruthless and powerful, which is naturally awesome.
Chen Xuan has heard from Sun Chengzong's story that Li Mingyang is not cooperating. No matter what Li Mingyang wants, in her opinion, Sun Chengzong has offered enough conditions to sell these things to the royal family. Public refusal is provocation.
"It seems that Lord Ghost King wants to touch our royal family." Chen Xuan thought about it and suddenly narrowed her eyes and said viciously.
Although Sun Chengzong felt that Chen Xuan's thinking was somewhat extreme, the purpose of his arrival today was to fan the flames. Seeing that Chen Xuan's volcano was finally ignited by himself, Sun Chengzong whispered and was secretly happy. After all, Li Mingyang left directly without worrying about his face, which really made Sun Chengzong feel resentful.
However, when Sun Chengzong and Chen Xuan were discussing how to squeeze the ghost king and get all the good things by the way, the face of a female monk who always sat aside and drank tea quietly was a little strange.
If Li Mingyang was here, she would definitely recognize this female monk as Sun Shangxiang, the owner of the unknown teahouse.
Sun Shangxiang's identity as a member of the royal family is actually not a secret among the senior officials of Longdu, but if his identity is not noble enough, it is impossible to grasp such information. After all, Sun Shangxiang is the eldest daughter of the Evergreen Emperor, and such an identity is really not simple.
Sun Shangxiang usually looks light, but at this time, her right hand holding the teacup is somewhat shaking.
"Has the Ghost King really come to Longdu?" Sun Shangxiang is full of this question in his mind now.
If it were other princes of the Central Plains, Sun Shangxiang would naturally not pay attention to it. As a royal princess, although Sun Shangxiang was not arrogant, she also knew that the prince of the Central Plains was far from the strength of the Longdu family, let alone compared with the deep-rooted royal family. However, Sun Shangxiang is very interested in the Ghost King.
After all, among the strong men of the younger generation, Li Mingyang can indeed be said to be powerful in the Central Plains. I was very interested in the past, but now I'm more interested. She is thinking of the young man she met in the teahouse.
That person is just very good at phalanx and really helped him modify several compound phalanxes. And he did appear with the young master of Longting Army. It is rumored that the young master of Longting Army has a good personal relationship with the ghost king Li Mingyang.
Yes, he really said that his name was Li Mingyang, and he was seriously introduced before leaving. But he thought he was bragging and actually ridiculed him a little. Thinking of the expression on his face when he left, it turned out that it was not the embarrassment after being exposed, but helplessness.
Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. Thinking of the ghost king, he was repeatedly said to be a little liar who likes to brag. He must be depressed to death.
The more he thought so, the happier Sun Shangxiang became and even forgot that he was in the palace.
Sun Chengzong and Chen Xuan were discussing seriously about how to deal with Li Mingyang, but suddenly heard bursts of laughter and looked over curiously, only to find that Sun Shangxiang was sitting there with a teacup and kept laughing. At this moment, the shrewd eldest princess in the past, her eyes were as confused as a Huaichun girl, even I didn't care if my favorite spiritual tea was spilled.
"This..." Sun Chengzong naturally knew Sun Shangxiang's temper very well. The first time he saw Sun Shangxiang showing such an expression, Sun Chengzong's surprised eyes forgot to blink.
Chen Xuan was even more surprised. Her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Chen Xuan knew her daughter's temper better than Sun Chengzong. Although her daughter likes to play with the alchemy furnace and magic array all day long, she often sat there and started to start a daze, but now she is not in a daze. This is simply *. It's the first time Chen Xuan saw it. Her daughter also showed such a blurred look, and a woman couldn't help trembling when she saw it.
"Xiang'er, Xiang'er! What are you thinking about?" Chen Xuan came forward curiously and patted Sun Shangxiang and asked with a smile.
Sun Shangxiang was shocked and looked up to see his mother and third uncle looking at him with shock. Only then did Sun Shangxiang realize that he had lost his temper. He immediately blushed and ran out without saying a word.
Chen Xuan and Sun Chengzong were confused. Half a day later, Sun Chengzong slowly said, "Queen, Xiang'er won't have a goodwill."
Chen Xuan ignored Sun Chengzong, but smiled. For a long time, Sun Shangxiang's temper has also given Chen Xuan a headache. Sun Shangxiang's cultivation talent and alchemy talent are outstanding, and he can definitely become a strong general or a skillful alchemist in the future. For the royal family, this is naturally the best situation. However, for Chen Xuan, she doesn't care whether her daughter is a general or an alchemist. She just hopes that her daughter will be happy all her life, so she has always been concerned about her daughter's lifelong events.
Although the royal family has the dignity of the royal family, it is impossible for Sun Shangxiang to find an ordinary family, but because of the strength of the royal family, they also confidently believe that they do not need marriage to stabilize their position. Therefore, Chen Xuan just hopes that Sun Shangxiang can find a young handsome man. She doesn't care about her background, as long as her daughter likes it. OK. Who would have thought that Sun Shangxiang never cares about this matter and spent more time with the alchemy furnace than with anyone else? This situation really made Chen Xuan complain.
However, Sun Shangxiang's reaction just now brought Chen Xuan's thought of silence to life again. After thinking happily for a while, Chen Xuan said, "Uncle, send more people to Xiang'er's teahouse recently."
Sun Chengzong smiled silently and nodded and retreated.

Although he earned face in front of Sun Chengzong and understood Li Mingyang's ultimate purpose, Zhao Lingrui is not happy now.
"What's the matter? I've been depressed all the way. Is it possible that you have to go to the brothel to be happy?" Li Mingyang asked when he saw that Zhao Lingrui had always been a little depressed.
Zhao Lingrui just wanted to wave his hand and say that it was okay, but the moment he raised his hand, he still subconsciously said, "Actually, I'm worried that Sun Chengzong will play with it at the auction."
Li Mingyang suddenly stopped: "What are you doing?"
"It's just pressing the price." Zhao Lingrui spread out helplessly and said, "You should know, although the big families in Longdu don't like each other, and even the royal family is usually not taken seriously by them, if the royal family really wants to do something, other big families will make some concessions. The strength of the royal family can indeed be said to be unfathomable.
Seeing that Li Mingyang began to feel a little impatient again, Zhao Lingrui immediately said, "If Sun Chengzong reports this matter, if the royal family really feels that these things are worth grabbing, there may be some real bosses to come forward and then lobby some families who have the strength to eat these things. Of course, they can't really make a deal with just one mouth. They will definitely give some compensation to those families, and in the end, those families may not bid. And a lot will definitely not start at his real price, such as the best jade, even in the royal auction house, there will be up to 30 million top-quality spiritual stones. After all, this thing will definitely cause a crazy rush, so the price will rise quickly.
"So if, according to what you said, the royal family will give both grace and power to other families, and finally send someone to grab things with just one word, is that okay?" Li Mingyang asked somewhat unexpectedly.
Zhao Lingrui said with a wry smile, "It's definitely okay. If you dare to sell things, you have to be prepared for unstable prices. Of course, the royal family will definitely not go too far. After all, if the price is too low, it can't be said that some families will be itching to take a hand. But I estimate that they want to buy a piece of the best jade at most 50 million, and then give some compensation to other families. Not all families have the strength to afford this level of treasure. They can't afford it in the first place, so they simply give up. They not only give the royal family a favor, but also get a lot of benefits in vain. They may all agree."
Li Mingyang knew that Zhao Lingrui would never be aimless. Thinking about the possibility of the situation he said, Li Mingyang frowned deeper. If the royal family really wanted to exert such pressure, Li Mingyang could not play with them, but in the end, his things could not be sold. And without the top-grade spiritual stones, these things have no meaning at all.
The reason why I came to Longdu this time is that if you are not in the auction, it is impossible to sell this kind of thing. Even if it can be sold, it must be a very low price. After all, people still need someone to compete for such treasures to sell them at a higher price. Another point is that if it is not in the auction, it is difficult to find buyers, especially things like the best jade.
Li Mingyang also began to have a headache. He is good at killing and set fire, but he really can't do it. He knows that he wants to play with yin, but he can't really find someone to work hard.
Looking at Zhao Lingrui's loss, Li Mingyang patted his thigh fiercely and walked forward with his head buried.
Seeing that Li Mingyang said he would leave, Zhao Lingrui quickly followed him and asked, "What are you going to do?" In his opinion, Li Mingyang is most likely to have come up with a solution.
As a result, Li Mingyang walked muffled for a while before he said, "Go and have tea."
