Chapter 202.

Upon hearing Ding Bu San tell the truth of the matter, Zhou An stroked his chin, thinking that this was another old, old story.

As expected, after Ding Bu San said this, he began to tell it.

Inside the room of the Crafting Supervisor’s parlor, Ding Bu San almost finished with a tone of gritted teeth.

When he finished, Zhou An also learned the truth of the matter.

The power that Ding Bousan and Zhao Bousi were in was originally called the Foundry Sect, which was one of the powers in the ironworking profession.

However, the two of them were gifted and extremely strong, and gradually became famous.

In this casting door, there are a total of three people who are outstanding.

In addition to the two of them, there is also their senior brother, called Zhang Buwu.

Bu San Bu Wu, after these three names were said, Zhou An suddenly felt that his way of naming himself seemed to be quite good.

Of course, he only spat it out.

Then after that, the Casting Sect rose with them, and then the war between the Great Chu Kingdom and the former dynasty broke out.

Ding Bousan and Zhao Bousi participated in this war, and eventually helped the Great Chu Kingdom succeed in its founding, and also took the position of the Crafting Supervisor, and as for Zhang Bouwu, he also followed the position of high authority.

The three of them were actually considered to be a moment of supremacy in the Crafting Supervisor.

After all, in charge of one of the important institutions of the entire state of Chu.

But never thought that on a certain day, Zhang Buwu with important information about the casting door, defected to the Great Yue State.

It happened so suddenly that even the Great Chu Kingdom didn’t have time to react.

As for the reason is also very simple, their that senior brother, is an extremely addicted to power, in the crafting supervisor sitting in the position of the third handle, but extremely dissatisfied.

And the conditions offered by Great Vietnam were very simple, that is, to go over to be the first hand over there.

So then, Zhang Buwu ran away with the important information of the Casting Gate.

At that time, Ding Bu San and Zhao Bu Si were furious, and immediately reported to the Emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom.

However, the relationship between countries is like this, when someone else poaches an important talent from you, you can’t possibly send troops to besiege them because of it.

So this matter was settled later on.

Moreover, after that, several countries are also digging each other’s people, has been a kind of unspoken rule.

Although the matter was not settled, but for the casting door, it was a great shame.

Ding Bu San had always kept this matter on his mind, and this time, when the Emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom held his birthday, Zhang Bu Wu came along with the Great Yue Kingdom.

After listening, Zhou An also roughly understood the past grievances of these people.

But he had a doubtful place.

“To go retrieve the factory, you guys can just do it yourselves, what does it have to do with me?” Zhou An asked.

The truth is this, Zhang Buwu who betrayed them in the first place is here, so you guys can just do it yourselves, why let him go?

Ding Bu San explained, “Those who came with the Great Yue Country this time, many of the heavenly pride of the forces also came, among them, I heard that Zhang Bu Wu has taken in a very powerful disciple in the Great Yue Country, I hope that Senior Nephew Zhou will be able to make a move because I want to have a bet against him.”

“What match bet? Isn’t there still Brother Xu Bing?” Zhou An said.

Although he had only met Xu Bing once, he had learned that Xu Bing was not weak.

And in this business, he was indeed talented.

“Xu Bing is indeed a very good seedling, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to retrieve this business when the time comes.” Ding Bu San explained, “As for the betting it’s very simple.”

Zhou An raised an eyebrow, “How is it a parlay?”

Ding Bu San said, “The information that Zhang Bu Wu stole here in the first place is very important and relates to the inheritance of the Foundry Sect, so I want to use this to grab a victory, if I win, I want to get all of that information back, and if I lose, then I will pay a lot of things as well.”

Zhou An suddenly realized and understood what Ding Bu San was talking about.

But he still had a doubt.

“Information like this is so important, don’t you guys prepare an extra copy for yourselves and just let him steal it?” Zhou An asked.

In the past, when he watched TV dramas, there were a lot of things about stealing secret books.

Zhou An felt that this stuff should be prepared with an extra copy on standby.

Even if it was stolen, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss.

Ding Bu San explained, “That information cannot be copied, it is from a set of armor built by the Ancestor, it is said that it hides the most profound secret techniques of the Casting Sect, we had not yet penetrated it before he was stolen.”

Hearing this, Zhou An also heard and understood.

It turned out that the so-called secret was made in a special way.

In that case, it was also true that it could not be duplicated.

“What are you guys planning to bet against him, I’m just asking, if you’re not willing to say it, forget it.”

Ding Bu San didn’t think anything of it, instead he took out a key from his pocket, “Zhang Bu Wu stole that armor in the first place, but he didn’t know that only this key can open the armor, if he forces it open, it will only damage everything inside, so I’m betting against him with this.”

Zhou An nodded, if that was the case, Zhang Buwu would probably really have to agree.

Of course, Ding Bu San also played a good game.

If Ding Bu San personally went to bet against Zhang Bu Wu, it was estimated that Zhang Bu Wu wouldn’t dare to agree, after all, there wasn’t much chance of winning.

But if it came to disciples, it would be much simpler.

“So what do you think of this deal, nephew Zhou?” Ding Bu San asked.

Zhou An, however, shook his head, “Lord Ding, to be honest, I have a good friendship with Old Zhao, but if you have to talk about a deal, I can only say that what you’re giving me isn’t enough.”

He was speaking the truth and was also straightforward in his character.

If it was Old Zhao who said it here today, remembering the past friendship, Zhou An might have agreed, but it was Ding Bu San who said it.

This is a transaction, just expanding the space inside the money bag, that is not cost effective.

Ding Bu San sighed, “It is said that Master Zhou An is exceptionally shrewd, especially when making a deal, he will not suffer any losses, it is really true, since it can be so, how about I add one more favor for Master Zhou An?”

Zhou An asked, “What favor do you want to add?”

Ding Bu San lifted the key in his hand, “If Master Zhou nephew can help me solve this trouble, then that armor can be allowed to be visited by you at will, you are also a person of the casting dao, and your skills are extremely profound, that thing can bring you great benefits.”

He was full of confidence and felt that there was no problem at all, after all, a person of the Casting Dao was able to obtain the most important thing of the Casting Sect, even if he just visited it, he would be able to benefit greatly.

Who knew that when he said this, Zhou An shook his head.

“I’m not interested in that thing.”

It was true that he wasn’t interested, he was open-minded and only needed liver proficiency.

He couldn’t be interested in those secrets of other people’s homes at all.

Ding Bu San was slightly stunned, then reacted and said, “Master Zhou, do you know what that thing represents? It is the topmost thing for us Dao Casting people.”

Zhou An shrugged, “I know, but I am not a person of Dao Casting.”

It was true that he was not a person of Dao Casting.

To say which line Zhou An was in, he actually couldn’t figure it out himself, so he could only say that he had learned more.

The corners of Ding Bousan’s mouth twitched slightly as he suddenly thought of what Zhao Bousi had once said to him.

This man in front of him, has a very strong talent, especially in the casting of this line of work, can be said to be unprecedented.

But this guy is just a restless person.

To be replaced by any person with this kind of talent, as long as you sink your heart, specialize in learning the casting method, will definitely stand proudly above the world.

But when Zhou An was replaced, the result would be very different.

Zhao Bu Si had advised Zhou An to learn the casting method many times, but Zhou An was as if he had not realized it.

Ding Bousan was aware of this.

Originally, he thought that it was Zhao Bu Si who lied because Zhao Bu Si wanted to pretend in front of him at that time, but never thought that after seeing Zhou An today, Ding Bu San felt that what this senior brother of his had said seemed to be all true.

“Zhou An, listen to me, if you concentrate on learning the method of casting, coupled with that armor from our Casting Sect, as long as you are able to comprehend a little bit, you will be able to dominate within this one line of work.”

Ding Bu San began to describe it, “You know, although this lineage of casting, is a lineage of the Miscellaneous Sect, if you really learn it, and make progress in it, and reach the peak, you will be respected wherever you go.”

Zhou An nodded, “I know, but I’m respected wherever I go now.”

Ding Bu San’s head was filled with black lines.

He realized that Zhou An seemed like a wall that was simply impenetrable, a completely airtight state.

At this time, he also finally understood why his senior brother had said those words to himself with an angry face in the first place.

You obviously have talent, but you are not on top of it, in any other person’s place, they would be furious.

However, the actual result was indeed as Zhou An said, even if Zhou An did not learn the method of casting, he was still able to run rampant.

Taking a short while ago, Ding Bousan, as a hand of the Crafting Supervisor, was also well-informed.

That group of heavenly pride from the forces of the Great Chu Kingdom knelt in a row in front of Zhou An’s door, and even shouted to admit their mistakes.

The young people of this world really couldn’t do that.

So what Zhou An said was right.

But then the problem came.

Ding Bousan laughed bitterly, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid this deal can’t be made.”

It was true that he did not have anything that he could hold and that could be looked upon favorably by Zhou An.

Doubling Zhou An’s money pouch would only be able to hold a few more things.

And since Zhou An wasn’t learning the method of casting, that armor would be useless to Zhou An.

So Ding Bu San didn’t have the extra capital to complete the deal.

He had thought that Zhou An would leave this way, but he had not expected that after these words, Zhou An would look at him strangely.

“Lord Ding, this deal can still continue.”

Ding Bu San was slightly stunned, then overjoyed, “You promised, I’ll use the armor in exchange for this transaction, don’t worry, as long as you promise, I can relax the conditions, as long as you come you can watch, watch for as long as you want.”

In fact, Ding Bu San still had a small mind when he said this.

He felt that in case Zhou An got addicted to watching and then the prodigal son returned and decided to learn the method of casting, that would definitely be a great joy for their Foundry Sect.

When Zhou An’s achievements surpassed his in the future, he could even proudly say that Zhou An had come out of the Casting Sect.

That would be called having face then.

Zhou An smiled and said, “The transaction can be carried out normally, but the thing that Lord Ding took out doesn’t need to be armor, but something else.”

Ding Bisan asked strangely, “Apart from the armor, it seems like I can’t take out anything good, if you think there’s something you need, just mention it, I’ll definitely give it to you as long as I can take it out.”

Although he was a hand of the Crafting Supervisor, what he came into contact with was also related to this aspect of casting.

Although the strength was indeed high and the power was indeed great, it was ultimately just one of the trades.

Now that Zhou An said that there was a deal to be made, and it was another thing that could be traded, he came to be curious and was eager to know what Zhou An wanted to get.

Zhou An raised his hand and operated the air in his body.

In the next moment, a layer of golden light enveloped his entire body, and his skin turned a golden color.

It was as if he was an entranced Buddha, making people unable to take their eyes off of him after a single glance.

Next to him, Black Jade, who had been bored all this time, suddenly had his eyes light up, then boldly raised his hand, and with a bang, knocked on Zhou An’s skull.

The echoing sound reverberated in this parlor.

Zhou An’s head was filled with black lines, he silently turned his head, and in Black Jade’s horrified eyes, he lifted his hand and pinched Black Jade’s fair face, rubbing it vigorously.

“You guy, you’re getting skinnier and skinnier lately, how dare you knock me!”

Black Jade kept shaking her head frantically, indicating that she didn’t dare anymore.

But Zhou An felt that he had to give Black Jade something heavy at this time.

He also disregarded the fact that he was now in the Crafting Supervisor, and stretched out his arm to wrap around Black Jade’s neck, pinning it down, then with his other hand, he began to knock.

“Don’t dare, don’t dare.”

The sound of knocking resounded.

Black Jade hurriedly begged for mercy.

Just now, Black Jade just had an itchy hand, so she didn’t hold back.

After all, when Zhou An had knocked her head earlier, she had also found it addictive, so she wanted to try it.

Now it seemed that there was a price to pay for trying.

Zhou An locked Black Jade in a death grip and knocked several more times until Black Jade’s eyes were watery inside, and only then did he let go of his hand.

Black Jade used her hands to protect her head with an aggrieved face.

“Next time you dare!” Black Jade said with a stiff upper lip.

However, when Zhou An’s eyes swept over, it immediately shrunk its neck and looked to the side.

With this appearance, there was still some stupidity.

After Zhou An finished lecturing Black Jade, he looked at Ding Bousan next to him and said, “Lord Ding, how do you think about my ability?”

Ding Bousan was completely in a state of shock by this time, as he stared at Zhou An and couldn’t help but say, “You’re casting yourself as a weapon?”

With Ding Bousan’s strength and ability in this line of work, he naturally saw it clearly at a glance.

Zhou An nodded and said, “That’s right, just tried it and I didn’t expect it to succeed.”

The true characteristic of the skill of casting one’s own body was also to cast oneself as a weapon.

It seemed simple, but no one ever dared to try it.

Because how could a body of flesh and blood be hammered with the casting method?

But Zhou An was different, the skill was as open and unreasonable, as long as one knew it, then one was able to hammer.

Ding Bu San couldn’t help but walk around Zhou An back and forth, the more he looked on, the more he felt that the Zhou An in front of him was simply a wizard.

He couldn’t hold back any longer and came to Zhou An and said seriously, “Zhou An, you want to learn the method of casting, as long as you enter the Casting Sect, I will give you the next Sect Master, what do you think?”

The Casting Sect was at the top of the line in the Great Chu Kingdom’s Residence Casting Dao lineage, that was the top of the line.

If this promise of Ding Bu San was known by the people of casting, they would absolutely flock to it.

However, Zhou An shook his head in rejection.

“Let’s talk about trading.”

Hearing these words, Ding Bu San sighed and knew that Zhou An was of this mind and wouldn’t be swayed easily, so he could only ask, “Go ahead, what kind of deal do you want?”

Zhou An smiled, “When you are unable to solve the problem, I can come out with the name of your disciple and help you solve the trouble, and then what I want is very simple, apart from doubling my money pouch, the armor has to be shown to me, and one more thing is that I want to borrow one thing.”

Ding Bu San asked, “What thing?”

Zhou An raised his right hand, and the gold transforming ring on his right hand was very striking, “I want to transform gold, and then have Lord Ding personally manipulate it to create a suitable pair of weapons for a person.”

Ding Bousan stared at the Gold Transformation Ring in Zhou An’s hand, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded, “I agree, your kid has played a good game, and after the original conditions at the beginning were all met, he also added a condition for me.”

The metal of chemically gold is indeed very precious, but Ding Bisan has been running the Crafting Supervisor for many years, and it would be hard to say if he didn’t have something good in his hands.

Besides, there was a Foundry Sect behind him, and this kind of metal was available for him.

Letting him build it with his own hands was also no problem, after all, it was all talked about here, and it didn’t matter if there was one more condition.

Ding Bu San asked, “What do you want to build? And who is it built for?”

Zhou An said, “Lord Ding knows about Yuhang, right?”

Ding Bu San nodded, “I know, the Prime Minister’s closed disciple and your life and death brother, I see, you want to build him specialized weapons and then guarantee his safety, right?”

Zhou An did not deny it, this was indeed his idea.

In fact, this transaction was very cost-effective.

First of all, it was doubling the money bag.

The money bag was very useful when it was used.

Secondly, that armor was of great interest to him.

It would be good in case he could discover something related to the build from it, or even get some secrets by example.

This last one was for Yu Hang’s consideration.

This time, Old Yu had almost flipped out with the Prime Minister for his sake.

Zhou An was a particularly principled person, and he wasn’t petty at all towards his own people.

As long as he was good to him, he was also good to others.

So considering Old Yu’s problems, he planned to build these things to provide Old Yu with a guarantee.

After all, if he really left the capital, the two brothers would be far apart from each other.

“But does this deal have anything to do with you being golden now?” Ding Bu San looked at Zhou An’s cast self and asked.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth twitched, “I just think that this will allow you to see my strength, and also make this deal more assured.”

Ding Bu San mused, “But I feel as if you are a bit like Eunuch Wei, when Eunuch Wei was young, he also liked to reveal some of his skills, in his words, to nourish others.”

Zhou An looked up at the sky, “I think that we can start something else.”

He would not admit that he did want to put on a show just now.

There was nothing wrong with it.

These days, everyone worked hard to cultivate, and what was the point of not pretending after they had achieved success in their cultivation?

“Then let’s start now.” Zhou An reached out his hand and threw the money bag to Ding Bu San.

Ding Bousan nodded and said, “Just wait for me here for a bit, I’ll be done in about an hour.”

Zhou An agreed and was in the parlor, waiting patiently.

Soon, Ding Bu San left.

Zhou An didn’t stay idle either, and began to liver up his fortune telling.

But before that, he glanced at Black Jade.

This little girl, to take advantage of the fact that he was casting himself with casting himself and knocking himself on the head, was simply audacious.

Punishment, it must be punished ruthlessly!

Black Jade was also very understanding and with her head lowered, she carefully came behind Zhou An before rubbing Zhou An’s shoulders.

Zhou An nodded, “Not bad, quite understanding.”

He enjoyed Black Jade’s massage and was about to continue his liver fortune telling.

Suddenly, Black Jade leaned forward and then leaned his head back.

Zhou An was slightly stunned and felt a special touch.

It was soft and with a bit of coldness.

He was about to speak when he felt his face being pulled.

This girl, Black Jade, was curious about everything.

Just now, when Zhou pressed and rubbed her face, it made her feel a strange touch, so now she also wanted to try it.

Zhou An’s head was leaning against Black Jade’s chest, and his face was being pulled by Black Jade, and he felt a blackness in front of his eyes.

He felt a very moist touch.

The black jade now, was already getting more and more leathery.

“Honestly pinch my shoulders.” Zhou An said.

Black Jade was full of doubts, not knowing why Zhou An shook a little, but he could only loosen his hands and continue to press Zhou An’s shoulders.

And Zhou An didn’t nag, took a deep breath and began to liver the fortune telling.

Next, after waiting for almost an hour, Ding Bu San came in from outside.

In Ding Bu San’s hand, the pink money bag remained the same as before.

“Here you are already remodeled, in addition, those things you wanted to build, when the time comes, I will build them and personally send them over to Yu Hang.”

Zhou An took the pink money bag and after opening it, he glanced inside and realized that the space had indeed expanded by more than double.

However, he always felt that this red color was too eye-catching.

“Why not change the color?” Zhou An said breathlessly.

“To change the color, you’d still have to change it from scratch, it’s too time consuming, as long as there’s enough space.”

This was also considered a small characteristic of this branch of the original blacksmiths, they didn’t care about the shape, they only cared about playing up the effect of the casting itself.

In terms of shape, they were as simple as they could be.

Zhou An didn’t think anything of it, the pink color had been used for a long time and he was used to it.

Since the matter had come to an end, he arched his hand.

“In that case, I will go back first.”

Tomorrow was the emperor’s birthday, so going back to take a rest would be good to deal with the next things.

Three big troubles, the last one was right in front of him, he had to clean it up.

Ding Bousan did not stop him and allowed Zhou An to leave.

Soon, Zhou An held Black Jade and left the Crafting Supervisor, returning to Yu Hang’s home.

Yu Hang still didn’t come back and stayed at the Prime Minister’s residence.

Tomorrow was the Emperor’s birthday, and Yu Hang should be heading directly to the Imperial Palace.

Zhou An also did not feel bored, continued to liver up the fortune-telling.

However, before the fortune-telling, he first let the black jade to face the wall.

Black Jade came to the corner with a frustrated face, and from time to time, he also turned back and looked at Zhou An with pitiful eyes.

Zhou An acted as if he didn’t see it.

This guy, his guts were getting bigger and bigger, not only did he knock him on the head today, but he also held his head on his chest and even pinched his face, it was simply audacious.

Zhou An felt that he had to be a bit more severe.

Looking at Black Jade’s back that was full of forbidden beauty, Zhou An withdrew his gaze, settled his mind, and began to liver up his fortune telling.

The night passed quickly.

When the next day came, a carriage stopped at Zhou An’s door.

A merchant from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was waiting patiently.

After Zhou An walked out holding Black Jade, the merchant respectfully said, “Sir Zhou, we won’t go in.”

For the Emperor’s birthday, those who came were either the celestial pride of the powers, or the invited officials.

The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was not among them.

Zhou An nodded, and then sat in the carriage.

Inside the carriage, it was full of birthday gifts prepared by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

And the one driving the carriage was that old acquaintance, the coachman.

When Zhou An got on the carriage, the coachman smiled and said Sir Zhou, you are seated, and then raised the horse whip and gently smacked it on the horse’s butt.

The carriage began to slowly clinch its way towards the location of the palace.

In this prosperous and lively capital city, the horse carriage is more and more.

Although the streets of the capital were wide, when there were too many carriages, there was still some congestion.

Zhou An’s carriage was traveling side by side with a carriage, and from Zhou An’s angle, the surface of the carriage carried a pattern that was different from the carriages of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Every country, had its etiquette and customs, which would sometimes be reflected on the surface.

Even a piece of cloth had differences.

Zhou An guessed that the people sitting inside this carriage should be people from the Great Yue Country.

Today, the people from the Great Yue Country had arrived in order to attend Emperor Xingwu’s birthday.

This was also the first time that there were people from other countries coming.

As long as one was discerning, one would know that there should be something going on here.

Zhou An just opened the curtain and took a look, then felt bored and closed the curtain back up.

In this carriage, at this moment, there was a middle-aged man with a handsome instrument sitting in it.

Next to the middle-aged man, there was also a monk and a Taoist priest.

The three of them were sitting side by side, and none of them spoke.

At this very moment, the moment Zhou An lowered the curtain, the old monk, who had been keeping his hands folded, opened his eyes.

The old monk looked very old, even his eyebrows were white.

“Zhou An just glanced over here and then lowered the curtain.”

When the old monk finished saying this, the middle-aged man and the other old Taoist priest did not say a word.

The old monk continued, “I can feel that this junior has a breathtaking aura about him, killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.”

Still no one said anything, the middle-aged man closed his eyes, while the old Taoist monk held a copper compass and looked at it carefully.

The old monk’s white eyebrows twitched slightly as he uttered his last words, “He has a destiny with the Buddhist Sect of my Great Yue Country, this time we must seize the opportunity to ferry him to the Buddhist Sect.”

After the last sentence was uttered, the middle-aged man who had been keeping his eyes closed finally opened his eyes.

Only seeing the middle-aged man faintly glancing at the old monk, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “This time, when I came to the Da Chu Kingdom, I had important matters to attend to, I hope that you can be clear about that and don’t bring that set of yours here.”

The old Taoist monk also spoke, “Empty Wen, as far as I know, behind Zhou An stands the old pimp Wei, can you beat that old pimp? It would be more or less the same if your senior brother came instead.”

Monk Empty Wink slightly froze, then reclosed his eyes as if he did not want to talk more on this topic.

The middle-aged man turned his gaze back, “Why are you indiscriminately exposing other people’s scars? When the old piker grabbed him by the neck, he had strolled through every part of the Great Chu Kingdom.”

Monk Empty Wins, who had his eyes closed, shivered his body slightly, then opened his eyes and laughed coldly, “I know that all of you can’t stand to see me, but this time, being sent by His Majesty, all of you have to listen to His Majesty as well, you guys said it very well, if the one who is standing behind it is the old piker Wei, then this time, I’m going to have to sweep him off his feet.”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Sweep his face how?”

“Heh.” Monk Empty Wink sneered, “My disciple accompanying me this time is the most famous Buddhist son of the Empty Dust Temple in the last hundred years, his strength is now at the peak of the innate, coupled with practicing the secret method, this time, I would like to see if the face I lost in the first place can be regained on Zhou An.”

The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this.

Monk Empty Wink continued, “Your Majesty, and the Taoist Master, this time, apart from originally coming for that matter, I also wanted to see the strength of the newborn forces of the Great Chu Kingdom, in that case, this practice of mine is not considered to be against His Majesty’s wishes, is it?”

The middle-aged man didn’t say anything, and neither did the old Taoist monk, as if he had already acquiesced.

Monk Empty Wen sneered and stopped speaking.

Their conversation had a special barrier, and the outside world naturally couldn’t hear them clearly.

The carriage continued to move forward and soon, arrived at the palace.

The palace was not so easy to enter, everyone brought some family members at most in addition to the carriage driver.

These were set for the officials of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Those forces, on the other hand, required strict checks.

Zhou An went in smoothly.

The coachman also followed along.

The other forces, the Celestial Pride, were particularly troublesome, and he didn’t bother.

Soon, the carriage continued to gallop inside the palace and arrived at a huge and incomparable complex.

A person dressed in eunuch clothes was standing in front.

Only after the carriages arrived one after another, did the eunuch then speak with a sharp voice: “All of you, Your Excellencies, stay here for a while, and at noon, we will take you to His Majesty’s birthday banquet.”

At this moment, Zhou An got down from the carriage and looked at the complex of buildings in front of him.

These were the places where he was staying temporarily, and he realized that although there were many carriages here, they were not all of them, and it seemed that all of them had been divided and were staying in different areas.

Zhou An looked around and did not see Yu Hang, he felt that they should be in other areas.

And amongst these people, there were all people who looked unfamiliar.

The emperor’s birthday banquet process was actually simple to say the least, and it took up to three days.

During these three days, the first day at noon, the emperor would treat the four parties to a meal, and then the officials of each place, would explain their various deeds.

This process is carried out until the evening, until the end, and then some eating and drinking.

At the end of the meal, there was another meal and drink. During the meal and drink, there were dances performed by art girls.

And on the next day, after breakfast, it was the major powers that presented their birthday gifts.

Of course, it also included the invited officials.

The emperor would be happy to see them and would give them rewards.

This process would continue until noon, then another meal would be eaten, and in the afternoon, various songs and dances would be enjoyed once again.

In the evening, the same meal and enjoyment.

On the third day, the emperor would give instructions to the various powers and officials, and as he did so, he would give encouragement.

Then there was another day of eating and drinking until the evening time, when another night of rest was given and the morning left.

During this time, no one could leave the place where they were staying.

In other words, Zhou An could only stay here all the time.

Of course, within the confines of the dwelling, one could walk around as much as they wanted and chat with each other.

However, Zhou An didn’t have any acquaintances here, so he didn’t have the heart to do so.

Soon, the eunuchs began to send people, bringing them to their respective rooms.

The one Zhou An was staying in was also a large and spacious residence.

After arriving, he also patiently waited for noon to arrive, and in the meantime, hep up his proficiency in fortune telling.

While Zhou An’s side was organized, at this moment, the group of powerful Celestials from the Great Yue Country were together, discussing something.

There was only one person they were discussing, Zhou An.
