Chapter 30

Early morning on April 24, 2018

Accompanied by a rumble, a lifelike fairy stone sculpture rose from the ground under the tall city wall. The fairy held a porcelain bottle in her hand and her starry eyes were half closed. Although it was just a gray stone statue, it looked lifelike and full of dynamic feeling. The pedestrians passing by were surprised when they saw it and stopped to watch.

At the same time, in the east, south, and north of Jinyu City, fairy stone sculptures with different postures rose up from the ground, attracting many attentions.

When the morning sun became gradually dazzling, more and more fairy statues appeared in various parts of the city, as if a fine network was laid in the city, connecting all areas together.

And when people were curiously discussing what the meaning of these fairy statues were, their moods and thoughts had been quietly collected by these fairy statues and gathered invisibly.

At this point, the Jinyu City has taken shape. Although the collection efficiency is relatively low and the maximum capacity of the volunteer power is no more than 100,000 people, the ability of the statue to collect volunteer power normally means that the framework of this array has been established. In just one night, the framework of such a large-scale formation can be completed, and the implementation ability of the Provisional Government is amazing.

Even in Zhao Chenlu's era, Jinyucheng's execution ability was not so.

Of course, this is not that Zhao Hongwu and others are wise and wise. The leader's charm is comparable to that of Zhao Chenlu. It is really that they are members of the provisional government and have been forced to a desperate situation.

It has been a week since Zhao Lingbo suddenly launched the Jinyu Seventeenth consecutive lock replacement on the 18th. As expected, there have been terrifying unknown signs of slow operation and true energy leakage. The woman suppressed in the formation often laughed thrillingly, as if the prehistoric demon might break out of the seal at any time.

There is not much time left for Zhao Hongwu and others. Even though countless old experts in Jinyu City patted their chests to guarantee that the seventeenth consecutive lock change could still trap Zhao Chenlu for at least ten days, looking at the increasingly shaky formation, thinking of Zhao Chenlu's previous glorious record, facing this threat of a catastrophe, Zhao Hongwu and others still couldn't sleep day and night, and couldn't help but show unprecedented motivation.

At noon on the 24th, the main structure was completed. The 370 fairy statues arranged in the city were controlled by Zhao Hongwu's soul and began to fluctuate slightly at the same frequency, shaking the weak willpower contaminated on the statue like snow on the treetops, and then gathering towards the city lord's mansion.

In about a cup of tea, a colorful light burst into Zhao Hongwu's palm.

"Success!"

The attendants around couldn't help but cheer.

Zhao Hongwu also looked happy: "It's true, and the results of the trial run are even better than expected. Perhaps it is because Jinyu City is in good weather, people are united in mind, and their collection efficiency is 50% higher than the standard value on the array chart."

"Congratulations to the city lord! We will definitely be able to suppress the witch now."

Zhao Hongwu nodded: "I hope so."

Beside him, Zhao Hongwen, who was a brother, frowned: "It went too smoothly, but I felt that there was something wrong. Zhao Xinyu, do you really trust him?"

"How can we trust him, but now what else can we do besides trusting him?" Zhao Hongwu smiled bitterly, "From the beginning, we were at a desperate situation. Even if we were just a straw, we had to hold it hard... By the way, since you said that, what would happen if you followed me?"

"I didn't see the problem." Zhao Hongwen shook his head, "I went over to see it myself. He has been staying in the room of the East City Restaurant and never going out... Unless his level of illusion is far above me, at least he is innocent in his performance this day. However, I always feel that this kind of doubt is not visible, which is the biggest doubt. A person who suddenly jumped out of Zhao Chenlu's ex-husband had no doubts on him. Don't you think this is incredible in itself?"

"To be incredible, ten days ago, if someone told you that Zhao Chenlu would be suppressed by her own formation under the city lord's mansion, it would be incredible that you can stand here to take charge of Jinyu City." Zhao Hongwu smiled self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, I only applied for a lifetime membership card in Zuiyue Tower at the beginning of this month, and I spent a lot of money. I thought it would be a long-term canteen for the next 20 years, but... In short, the membership card is not used, and I have no time to refund the card these days."

Zhao Hongwen said: "Whether it succeeds or not, we will never go back to our original days, but when things develop to this point, almost every step is unexpected. First, Zhao Lingbo suddenly got up and launched the seventeen chain chain to suppress Zhao Chenlu, and then the Holy Sect and major families did not interfere with our coup. Later, Zhao Xinyu was born. We are nominally the leaders of the coup, but in fact we go with the flow step by step, and we can't help it... Don't you think it's like dancing on the edge of a cliff?"

Zhao Hongwu said: "Of course, every step I take is like walking on thin ice now. But don't you feel happy like this? How can I be mediocre and ordinary all my life when I was born as a member of the Zhao family? Do you really like the days of drunkenness and dreams in the past few years? Now, even if it's just a temporary illusion, even if the witch broke through the formation in a few days and caught all of us, at least now, I can stand in the city lord's mansion and look down on these two million people, control countless massive resources, and complete the prehistoric formation overnight. Even if it's only one day, it's better than the 20 years of mediocrity."

"So you followed Zhao Lingbo's instigation and became the leader? You..." Zhao Hongwen sighed, "Have you ever considered Zhao Lingbo's problem? She has been Zhao Chenlu's loyal dog for so many years. She suddenly bit her back, even if it can be explained as a result of years of resentment, it can also be explained as..."

"I know, there are many explanations that can be made, but is that very important? We have witnessed her suppression of Zhao Chenlu with her own hands. With Zhao Chenlu's witch's personality, even if she acts, is it possible that his maid will be stepped on her head... Of course, it may also be that the witch's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and she would have to wash everyone in the world even if she was to guess all kinds of possibilities endlessly, we should not do anything." Zhao Hongwu said, "If you are really worried, cherish every minute and every second in front of you, for example..."

While speaking, Zhao Hongwu waved and took out a silver wine pot from the storage bag.

Zhao Hongwen took a look and opened his mouth in surprise: "The Wuxiangxian Brew!?"

"Haha, it is the Wuxiang Immortal Brew. The gift brought by the director of the Wuxiang Sword Academy when he visited Zhao Chenlu five years ago. This wine is the supreme wine brewed by the legendary sword immortal two hundred years ago. At that time, it even caused many great monks to fight and even fight. And such a fairy brew, after more than two hundred years of precipitation, is now worthless. The only remaining Wuxiang Immortal Brew in the entire Xiangzhou Continent is no more than five pots. Among them, Wuxiang Sword Academy has two pots, and the Holy Sect Master has saved two pots, and the last pot is here."

When it comes to this Wuxiangxian Brew, Zhao Hongwu is simply aware of it.

"At present, there are no more than three types of wines that can be compared with this Wuxiangxian wine, and there are only ones with aged 200 years. Therefore, when Wuxiang Jianyuan gave this item, it was said that it was difficult to give up. It was Zhao Chenlu who used very bad means to snatch it. She herself was not willing to enjoy much. She has been placed in the exhibition cabinet in the office in the past few years, and now there is at least half of this pot of wine left."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongwu shook the wine pot, listened to the sensation of the wine, and said with a grim smile: "And I, today, I will drink it completely!"

Zhao Hongwen was silent for a while and silently took out two wine glasses from the storage bag: "Brother Weiming."

"Hmph, after drinking this pot of Wuxiangxian wine, as well as the Dark Moon Immortal Pill and Tongling Lipid, they are all treasures that Zhao Chenlu put in the exhibition cabinet to show off. Now that she is underground, these things are cheaper for us brothers. To be honest, just relying on these treasures, I feel that launching a coup is a sure profit."

"That's right." Zhao Hongwen sneered and arranged the wine glass, then waited for his brother to open the wine pot and pour out a clear stream of wine.

Then, Zhao Hongwen frowned: "Well? He is obviously the supreme wine, but he doesn't smell any alcohol. This..."

Zhao Hongwu was also surprised: "It's indeed a bit strange, but it may also be that the Wuxiangxian Brewery has restrained all the essence in the wine. In short, try it first."

After saying that, Zhao Hongwu picked up the wine glass, clinked the glass briefly with Zhao Hongwen, and then raised his head and drank all the wine.

"...It's strange, it doesn't smell alcohol at all."

"It's basically clear water, a little salty?" Zhao Hongwen frowned, "Is this what the Wuxiangxian Brew should be like?"

"I don't know that there are only a handful of people who have drunk this kind of wine in the past two hundred years. I have never found any record of what it tastes in the book."

The two brothers drank a few more drinks with strong doubts, and the more they drank, the more they felt something was wrong.

"This is definitely not a bar?! No matter how special it is, at least it should have a smell of wine to be called wine. Even if this thing is drunk as water, it will taste strange. Not to mention that Zhao Chenlu is improperly stored, it has deteriorated, right?!"

"Scale? How will this fairy wine deteriorate? In theory, it will not deteriorate even if it is stored for ten thousand years!"

While saying that, Zhao Hongwu poured out all the remaining fairy brews in the pot.

But this time, in addition to the clear wine, there was also an extra note.

With a strong ominous premonition, Zhao Hongwu picked up the note.

"Congratulations to those who saw this note, without my permission, I received the treasure in the exhibition cabinet as a reward. The truth is as follows: The Wuxiangxian wine was finished as soon as I got it, and the bottle was filled with bath water."

"Puff!" Zhao Hongwu squirted on the spot, but then he thought, if this was Zhao Chenlu's bath water...

The bathing water of the world's number one beauty seems... not that difficult to accept.

Just as I was thinking, I saw another note slipping out of the wine pot.

There is also a simple line of words written on it.

"By the way, I asked my servants to bring the bath water from the public men's bathhouse in the east of the city. I hope you like it."
Chapter completed!
