……

Facing the pure and innocent eyes of those little wolf cubs, as if they could be beaten if they wanted, Emperor Longchang raised his hand several times, but was still reluctant to fight.

"That's all, I made a mistake this time." Emperor Longchang sighed, and the anger on his face disappeared, "Since you five little ones are so naughty, I decided to give you a small punishment in order to Teach a lesson."

"Come here, lock them in a cage, set up a small isolation space formation, and find two more, no, ten eunuchs to take turns guarding them, and they must not be out of sight for a moment." Emperor Longchang ordered, "Hungry Lord They last for five days, not three days."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuchs immediately bent down to accept the order and began to look for cages that met the requirements, carrying out Emperor Longchang's order.

"The water in the cage must not be cut off, and it must be covered with soft silk and satin." Emperor Longchang gave another warning, and then drove to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion with a dark face.

He couldn't stay in this devastated Imperial Garden any longer.

Painful, heartbroken, and uncomfortable to watch.

After two full days, Emperor Longchang's depressed mood recovered a lot, his anger towards the little wolf cub also subsided a lot, and he began to miss him again.

You've been hungry for two days, so you should be much better behaved, right?

Early in the morning that day, Emperor Longchang once again set up his garden to visit the wolf cubs.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing Emperor Longchang, the eunuchs on duty hurriedly saluted.

"Are the five little ones still good?" Emperor Longchang asked with his hands behind his back.

As he spoke, he glanced at the specially built wolf den. He saw that the railings were intact and the small space isolation formation was in good condition, and he felt a lot more at ease.

And the five little ones also stayed in the wolf den obediently, sitting on the mat with their buttocks, their backs straight, their eyes not squinting, and their movements uniform.

When they saw Emperor Longchang, their eyes showed longing and excitement, they stuck out their tongues and said "ha ha woo woo", and even the silver gray wolf fur fluttered happily.

"Your Majesty." The eunuchs hurriedly replied, "We followed your Majesty's orders and did not take our eyes away for a moment. The five wolf cubs were all obedient and never left the den."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longchang suddenly became elated. He looked at Old Yao with a bit of embarrassment and said: "Old Yao, what are you talking about? These little ones are still good at heart, but they are a little naughty. It needs careful training."

"Come on, let them out. They are still young, and they are at their most lively age. They have been locked up for two days, and I am afraid they are going to be bored." Emperor Longchang said with some distress, "I will take it with you They go out for a walk and relax."

The imperial craftsmen were very fast. In just two days, most of the dilapidated imperial garden was repaired. At least on the surface, it looked almost the same as before. It's just that those precious immortal exotic species seem to have "lost weight" a lot and will not grow back in a short time.

Emperor Longchang took five little ones for a walk in the imperial garden. From time to time, he taught them to identify some expensive varieties. At the same time, he babbled: "You can play as you like in the garden, but if you cause damage at will, You will have to suffer again."

He looks so patient, really like a kind old grandfather.

The five little ones were also well-behaved, listening and nodding, and peeing from time to time to irrigate the exotic flowers, as if to apologize for their past wrongdoings.

"Okay, okay, you really lived up to my teachings." Emperor Longchang was very relieved and very satisfied.

After taking the five little ones to relax, he simply took them to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion. Today I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I can feel more relaxed with five little ones by my side.

In the evening, Emperor Longchang had dealt with some difficult matters in the government. He looked up and saw five little ones obediently in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

They were either lying, sitting, or simply sleeping on the Emperor's legs, and none of them was causing trouble.

For a while, Emperor Longchang felt warm in his heart, feeling that his training of the five little ones was quite effective.

If he had known that the Silver Moon Wolf was so fun and so healing, he would have ordered the Mobei Barbarians to donate a few of them.

In this warm atmosphere, time flies by. Before I knew it, it was dinner time.

The eunuchs went to the imperial dining room and brought the emperor's dinner.

Emperor Longchang is the Great Emperor Lingxu. His body functions are naturally extremely powerful. He can move mountains and rivers with one kick and collapse mountains with one punch. To maintain such a strong body function, daily consumption will naturally be high.

Even though he is old, he no longer pursues breakthroughs in strength, and his requirements for replenishing qi, blood and spiritual energy are still very high. In addition to needing to eat high-level spiritual meat and spiritual food to replenish qi, blood and nourish the physical body, It is also necessary to regularly take and refine the sixth-grade Ling Yuan Bao Dan, which is made from heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain his strong strength just by meditating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around him.

After all, the stronger the physical body, the faster the metabolism, and the greater the daily consumption of energy, blood and spiritual energy. If there is not enough replenishment, of course there will be no problem in the short term. The energy stored in the body can also support it for a long time. However, if it is not replenished for a long time, the Xuanwu monk's body will gradually decline until exhausted.

An ordinary dinner like Emperor Longchang's today requires the use of the leg meat and backbone meat of a fifth-level snow-patterned beef cattle.

This kind of spiritual beef cattle is specially raised in a special way in a large royal ranch. It is a special breed that has been domesticated and improved over a long period of time. It eats formula feeds such as spiritual grains and spiritual grass every day. The meat is of high quality. Fresh, tender and nutritious.

This kind of snow-patterned spiritual beef unique to the royal family can grow up to the fifth or sixth level. It grows quickly and has low intelligence. The spiritual beef it produces is also tender in texture and has an excellent taste, making it extremely popular with the outside world.

In the royal ranch, some snow-patterned cattle will be sold at high prices from time to time to subsidize the ranch's losses.

The emperor usually eats six to seven hundred kilograms of spiritual beef for his dinner. According to the market price, it already exceeds tens of thousands of gold.

In addition to the snow-patterned spiritual ox, the emperor also likes to eat some high-level spiritual fish, some spiritual melons and spiritual fruits, and he will also drink some spiritual wine when he is happy.

This dinner often costs more than thirteen thousand gold.

In terms of food supplements, Emperor Longchang's annual expenses would reach about 7 million dry gold. In addition to one million Lingyuan treasure pills, twelve pills need to be taken and refined every year.

In this way, the emperor's basic annual consumption is 19 million dry gold.

And this is the result of Emperor Longchang giving up on upgrading, greatly reducing his own supply specifications, and only maintaining the most basic consumption.

Otherwise, if it were based on the consumption when he was in his prime, or the rationing specifications when he was on a personal expedition, the consumption would have doubled.

This shows how staggering the annual consumption is to feed an emperor with Lingxu realm strength.

"You five little ones, let's eat together." Emperor Longchang said with a smile, "If you like snow-patterned spiritual cattle, I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more bone-in meat of spiritual cattle later."

The five little ones' eyes lit up and they nodded immediately.

Grandpa, you are such a good person, your words made their mouths water.

While talking, the serving **** had already opened the large lid of the food box, revealing a large pile of roasted snow-patterned spiritual cattle inside.

It can be seen that the heat of these spiritual beef is well controlled when roasted. Each piece is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It exudes a strong aroma of barbecue, which makes people very appetizing at first sight.

However, Emperor Longchang just took a bite, and his face turned gloomy, and he said dissatisfied: "Why weren't these spiritual beef marinated in advance? They taste completely tasteless. Did the chef's head get caught in the door?"

He has lived for thousands of years and has been pampered for most of his life. Naturally, he has become more picky as he lives, and has extremely high requirements for the taste of food.

The eunuchs were trembling with fear.

Lao Yao bravely stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the chefs in the imperial kitchen opened the kitchen early this morning and found that the spiritual beef marinated in advance yesterday was gone."

"As a last resort, the spiritual beef cooked in a hurry is indeed not as tasty as before. This case is already under investigation, and your Majesty, please make do with it today."

"Humph~" Emperor Longchang said in a displeased mood, "Those imperial chefs are really becoming less and less attentive, and they even lose the ingredients. Forget it this time, if there is another time, I will let them move their heads."

Just like this, the always picky Emperor Longchang lost his appetite. He only ate half of the spiritual beef and lost his appetite. He ate some more spiritual melons and seventy or eighty kilograms of spiritual rice and stopped using his chopsticks. .

In this way, the five little ones were actually cheaper, and they were eating happily.

What kind of owner do you really want and what kind of pets do you keep? Although they are not yet adults, their food intake and appetite are already quite amazing.

Soon, the five little ones ate up all the remaining food, and their bellies became round.

After eating, they did not forget to act cute and serve Emperor Longchang. They were very skilled at this trick.

This actually made Emperor Longchang feel much better.

The next day.

Like yesterday, Emperor Longchang took them for a walk. After handling some government affairs, it was dinner time again.

As a result, the food served this time made Emperor Longchang even more dissatisfied. The ingredients seemed to have been prepared in a hurry. Not only were they not as meticulous as usual, but the quality had also declined.

"Old Yao." Emperor Longchang said angrily, "What did you do? Can't you catch even a small kitchen thief?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Old Yao Leng replied with sweat dripping. "There was no sign that the formation in the imperial dining room had been touched. The old slave arranged for the guards to be on guard duty at night, and he did not see anyone coming in or out. But strangely, today Early in the morning, all the ingredients that had just been processed and marinated last night were gone."

"Interesting, interesting." Emperor Longchang sneered. "I don't know how long there haven't been thieves in my palace, but they still steal my food. Old Yao, after you find out, bring him to me. . I want to see who it is that has such ability."

As a result, his appetite was naturally bad, and he ended up losing five small ones, almost eating them to the point where they couldn't even walk.

The five little ones opened their blue eyes and were excited.

Wow, the amiable old man is such a good person~~~

The third day.

Due to what happened two days ago, Emperor Longchang was not in the mood to go for a walk early in the morning, so he went directly to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

Old Yao personally stayed on duty all night last night, and I think the results will come out today.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the Humble Administrator's Pavilion, Lao Yao came over to ask for a meeting and reported: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the enemy from being disturbed, the old slave only secretly stared at the imperial dining room from a distance. But all night long, the people in the imperial dining room There was no sign of the formation being touched. In the morning, when the old slave went in again, he found that the ingredients had been stolen again."

"After that, the old slave carefully checked every corner of the imperial dining room, and finally found a small cave in a very hidden place, and found this tuft of hair next to the cave."

Speaking of this, Lao Yao took out the small handful of hair, with a wry smile on his face: "Does the texture and color of this hair seem familiar to Your Majesty?"

"This..." Emperor Longchang's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on his face, "That's impossible. My five little wolves are all staying obediently in the wolf den. There are people on duty at night to keep an eye on them. , it can’t be plagiarism..."

At this point, Emperor Longchang no longer had the confidence to continue. He took the tuft of hair and went straight to the back garden.

In the imperial garden, the exquisite wolf nest, the dedicated eunuchs, and the five well-behaved little wolves are all as before.

After the **** opened the fence of the wolf nest, the five wolves immediately ran out and circled around Emperor Longchang. Such warm attachment and well-behaved appearance made Emperor Longchang feel warm in his heart, and he even couldn't help but doubt his own reasoning.

How could five little ones be so good as to steal food? Have you wronged the five little ones again? Maybe it was done by other spiritual beasts with similar fur colors...

"Did any of you behave well at night?" Emperor Longchang knelt down and touched their heads one by one, his voice sounded gentle.

"Ah ah ah ah~~" The five little ones ah ah in unison, nodding incessantly.

"Then which one of you left this tuft of hair?" Emperor Longchang took out the tuft of hair and began to interrogate, "Second brother, you are usually the liveliest, is it something bad you did? Five, you are sneaking around and hiding behind, are you?"

The five little ones squatted on the ground, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the emperor with pure and innocent eyes.

Kind and lovely grandpa, what are you talking about? Why can't we understand?

"Your Majesty, we follow your will. As long as the five cubs are in the wolf den, we will have someone watching them all the time." The **** in charge of the guard said helpfully, "We will keep two people watching at all times, so we can be sure that the five cubs will The little one never left."

"Check the wolf's den." By this time, Emperor Longchang was already half convinced, "The main thing is to check if there is a cave."

The eunuchs immediately took the order and went to inspect the wolf's lair.

At first, they didn't notice anything wrong, until a **** lifted up the soft blanket specially laid in the wolf's lair.

In the corner, there is a small cave, only big enough for a little wolf cub to pass through.

"How is it possible?" The eunuchs were all shocked.

The five little ones are always under their noses. When did they dig the hole?

When Emperor Longchang took a look, he suddenly felt dizzy while holding his head.

It looked as if the child he trusted so deeply had suddenly turned into a lawless criminal, full of disbelief and complex emotions of being deceived and betrayed.

His face was as dark as water, and he stared at the five little ones: "Tell me honestly, how did you do it?"

"Woooooo~"

Seeing that his deeds were exposed, Wuxiao knew that he could not escape. He immediately lowered his head and put his ears to his head, with a look of regret on his face and a look of "I was wrong and I will definitely repent."

At the same time, they also pushed each other back and forth, pushing Lao Wu out.

The droopy Lao Wu reluctantly moved out and started his performance pitifully in front of the emperor.

I saw it squatting on the spot, shaking its fur, and then stepped back.

Something magical happened.

The original one old five suddenly became two, and the extra one could blink and stick out its tongue, which looked very lifelike. The Xuanwu monks who were slightly less powerful couldn't see anything wrong at all. If it is under the moonlight, it will be even more fake.

Then Lao Wu took another step back and created a second phantom, a third phantom...

"Moonlight Phantom Technique? How many trump cards do you five have hiding?" The corner of Emperor Longchang's mouth twitched.

I never expected that each of these little wolf cubs had great magical powers. Not only did they have the ability to become invisible and invisible, but they also had spatial abilities. They also had the ability to phantom?

He is also very smart and knows how to use his phantom ability to confuse the eunuchs, and then secretly dig holes!

Although these abilities are nothing more than superficial tricks to the dignified Emperor Longchang, if they dare to use them in front of him, they will definitely be seen through in minutes.

But these little wolf cubs are still young, they haven’t even reached the fifth level yet~~ Where did they learn this shit?

Even though Emperor Longchang was well-informed, he was shocked by them for a while.

It is not unusual for the Silver Moon Wolf to be able to awaken Moonlight Phantom abilities, but what is surprising is that they have already awakened them at this level and can use them skillfully. And he actually deceived the **** who was guarding him.

You must know that the bloodline of Silver Moon Wolf is very ancient and its bloodline is relatively noble. Before the fifth level, it can only be regarded as a cub. Among his tribe, the wolf king who enjoys the best resources can even be promoted to the ninth level.

Generally speaking, the cubs of the Silver Moon Wolf only enter the teenage years after reaching the fifth level and can officially participate in hunting. At that time, it will not be easy to tame them.

This is why Wang Lizi wants to express them back as soon as possible. The strength of these five little cubs has reached the middle stage of the fourth level, and they will be promoted to the fifth level in at least ten years.

"You five little ones are so naughty and dare to deceive me." Emperor Longchang reprimanded with a dark face, "Huh~ I don't believe it anymore, and I can't even deal with you five little ones."

"Come here, seal the hole for me, and lay Chi-Ji iron floors throughout the wolf lair."

"The fences have also been replaced with arm-thick chijing iron, and the locks have been replaced with heavenly locks!"

Emperor Longchang seemed to be at odds with the five little ones. He stared and gnashed his teeth: "I want to see what tricks you brats can do. By the way, the hematite essence is too hard and cold. They After all, your body is still growing, so you still need to prepare a good goose down cushion."

Old Yao on the side twitched his lips and stopped talking.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are getting deeper and deeper~~Do you still remember that this is someone else’s wolf cub?

……

While Emperor Longchang was competing with the five little ones.

In order to pretend to be pitiful, Taishi Ankang, who lived in the government post station, was in trouble.

In the simple inn room, he drank the bitter spiritual tea and pondered.

Something is wrong, something is wrong. According to Shouzhe's previous planning, now that His Majesty has heard that I am miserable, he should be very happy to see me and ridicule me a few words.

"Could it be that something happened?"

There is no other reason. Originally, according to the plan, after Taishi Ankang "begged for mercy" everywhere but to no avail, it was time to implement the second step of the plan "to meet Emperor Longchang."

After you increase the other party's comfort level again and beg to no avail, you can implement the third step of the plan.

But now, he went to see His Majesty twice, but was blocked both times.

He couldn't figure it out, so he secretly handed some gold to the **** who summoned him, and then got a strange news, saying that His Majesty was very busy recently and was not in the mood to deal with government affairs for the time being.

"Have no intention of dealing with government affairs?" The more Taishi Ankang thought about it, the more he felt it was uncomfortable. He suddenly slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "I see, that's it. His Majesty must have a new love, and he was obsessed with it for a while, and he just got tired of political affairs."

This is not the first time His Majesty has done this. He has a criminal record.

According to unofficial rumors, in the more than 3,000 years since His Majesty ascended the throne, there have been no fewer than five occasions when His Majesty was idle for many years because of his infatuation with a certain concubine. However, the last time was eight hundred years ago!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Taishi Ankang felt bitter in his heart, and secretly sighed, "You are already quite old, how can you be so happy with this? Could it be... that the group of people from Prince Kang are plotting in secret?"

"Now we are in trouble~ It seems that only Shouzhe can solve this problem."

When he thought of this, Taishi Ankang immediately spread out his letter paper and began to write a letter to summon someone.

……

After some time.

An exclusive flying chariot cut through the sky and entered the airspace of Guilong City.

Guilong City is called a city, but it actually covers a large area and is surrounded by thirty-six military garrison guards.

Through the glass portholes of the flying chariot, large tracts of farmland and pastures can be seen. They are extremely large in scale and cover an astonishing area. Among them, those places with the most fertile land and the richest spiritual veins belong to the legendary Imperial Manor.

"Huangzhuang", as the name suggests, is the royal family's Zhuangzi.

They are one of the main properties of the royal family. They are planted, raised, or run some kind of industry. They may even be a large and precious spiritual stone mine.

It was also from these imperial mansions that the huge and continuous wealth was born, supporting the royal family's considerable expenses.

Huangzhuang is not limited to the vicinity of Guilong City, but spreads throughout every county. Basically, part of the most fertile land in every county is the private property of the royal family.

"Speaking of which, the royal family is generally very wealthy." Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the chariot, "It's just that the family has a big business, and the expenses are also very huge. Just to support an Emperor Lingxu, The annual expenditure is an astronomical figure, not to mention there are so many magical power realm princes and purple mansion realm princes."

"Grandpa, I heard that Your Majesty is going to increase the taxation of our Longzuo County this time." Wang Anye, who had grown slightly taller beside him, blinked and said, "Is His Majesty Longchang too good at eating? The royal family No money?"

"Silly boy." Wang Shouzhe patted his head fondly, "National taxes will not directly enter the royal family's private treasury, and are not even allowed to enter the royal family's private treasury. The main purpose of national taxes is to maintain The operation of the entire imperial court is to reasonably adjust the imbalance between counties, and to use it for disaster relief, military pay, land reclamation, etc. Part of your Majesty’s expenses does come from the state, but a considerable part of it comes from the royal family itself. subsidies."

"But after all, His Majesty is the emperor and the pillar of a country, and the amount of state tribute he enjoys every year is not small. Other princes, princes, princes and other titles will all receive part of the state tribute income."

"Part of this part of the money expenditure comes from national taxes, and part of it comes from state-owned industries. Therefore, although our Daqian Kingdom is controlled by the royal family, it does not mean that Daqian Kingdom is privately owned by the royal family."

While explaining all this to Wang Anye, Wang Shouzhe sighed secretly in his heart.

This is the difference between Daqian Kingdom and ancient Chinese feudal system. Many emperors in ancient China emphasized "family and world", which means "the whole world is not the royal land". Those courtiers and nobles can only be regarded as "workers", and life and death are all at the emperor's whim.

But Daqian is composed of aristocratic families, and the royal family can only be regarded as the most powerful family in Daqian Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, Daqian is common to all aristocratic families, somewhat similar to a share responsibility system.

The stronger a family develops, the more shares it holds in the "country" enterprise, the more responsibilities it needs to assume, and the more say it has.

The Daqian Zhao family and the Daqian Wang family were the two partners of the Wu family when they started their business. They were not simply vassal families.

In Wang Shouzhe's popular words in his previous life, that is called "co-founder".

Because of this, the Zhao family and the Wang family have high status and enjoy considerable power in the court.

While Wang Shouzhe was flying and watching the flowers, the flying chariot had arrived at the junction of areas outside Guilong City.

If you go inside, you can't fly casually.

Feijian needs to stop at Feijian Station.

Under the control of the driver, the flying chariot circled and slowly landed on the square in front of the flying chariot station.

After a while, the flying chariot was stable, and Wang Shouzhe stepped out of the flying chariot with his great-grandson Wang Anye, granddaughter Wang Yingxuan, daughter Wang Lilong and others.

In the distance, Guilong City is in sight.

The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the sky is as green as water.

Under the high sky, Guilong City without city walls is majestic and majestic. Through its huge outline, it seems that one can glimpse the rich history silent under the giant city, as well as the authority and vast power it represents.

Looking at all this, Wang Shouzhe's heart couldn't help but surge slightly.

He, Wang Shouzhe, will finally step into the imperial capital.

This is the power center of Daqian.

The storm may be rising again.

……
