The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

"Zhuang Ming presented precious jade to the emperor, and this sacred stone is an atonement."

Zhuang Ming's expression was complicated, and he said: "If it's really a divine stone, if you make up a pair and dedicate it to the emperor in the name of the prince, the emperor must be even more happy..."

He looked at Wang Chen, with complex meanings gradually appearing on his indifferent face.

Chen Wang showed a strange look, he seemed to see the look of begging for mercy from Zhuang Ming's eyes.

It seems that these days, Zhuang's firm is really having a hard time, and he, Zhuang Ming, also knows that a catastrophe is imminent, so he wants to ask for forgiveness with this thing?

Thoughts turned like this, Chen Wang's expression remained the same.

He will never spare Zhuang Ming.

No matter what treasure Zhuang Ming gave.

On the contrary, the more treasures Zhuang Ming gave, the more precious and shocking they were, the more murderous he became.

As long as he kills Zhuang Ming and seizes the firm, all the treasures in Zhuang Ming's treasury will belong to him. How can he give up a treasure for a treasure?

"Is there really such a thing?" Chen Wang didn't change his expression, just responded.

"The folks in Zhuang are merchants, how dare they lie to the prince? Besides, it is related to the emperor's birthday ceremony. If the words are not true, is it not the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "There is indeed this thing in the treasury, but I don't know if it is the same as the prince's thing... However, Zhuang didn't pay much attention to it before, and this thing is in the warehouse of Zhongding Mansion. "

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, took out the seal, and said: "Guan Xue, I ordered you to keep this thing, you use my token, go and get it quickly, and gather all the guards in the city of Zhuang's Commercial Bank to escort the treasure and present it to you." Lord."

A ray of confusion flashed in Xue Qing's heart, but he was blessed to his heart, and immediately bowed and replied: "Yes."

With Zhuang Ming waving his hand, Xue Qingfang walked away quickly.

And Zhuang Ming looked over again, and said slowly: "My lord, I don't know this thing, can Zhuang take a closer look and identify it?"

——

With a calm expression, King Chen turned his head and said, "Bring the treasure."

Since Zhuang Ming intends to donate the precious jade and another strange stone, he is not stingy about lending Zhuang Ming the divine stone.

Because he also wanted to know whether the sacred stone of Zhuang's firm was really the same as the sacred stone that he had painstakingly obtained.

As soon as Chen Wang's voice fell, even if there were guards leading them away.

And at this moment, Zhuang Ming, who looked calm, had a strange look in his eyes.

King Chen ordered the guards to fetch the sacred stone, then turned his head and looked at Zhuang Ming.

When the order was issued earlier, many thoughts also turned in Chen Wang's mind.

Today Zhuang Ming is much weaker than before, a little abnormal.

But after thinking about it carefully, the Zhuang's firm has been struggling under his power recently, so it is understandable to beg for mercy.

The most important thing is that Chen Wang is also confident that this is a treasure dedicated to the emperor, even if Zhuang Ming is given a hundred courage, he will never dare to do anything wrong.

What's more, if Zhuang Mingshi just said that the precious jade and the sacred stone are all untrue, then this alone is enough to make people make a big fuss and convict him of deceiving the emperor.

——

And at this time.

Xue Qing, who left the business alliance and went to the store, was extremely shocked in his heart.

His complexion changed, and there was a faint throbbing of a changing sky.

Because in Zhuang's firm, there is no such sacred stone!

At least, as the steward of Zhongding Mansion, he didn't know that Zhuang's firm had such a sacred stone in Zhongding Mansion!

But the young master said that the sacred stone was in his custody and ordered him to fetch it.

This clearly has another meaning!

"Gather all the guards of Zhuang's business in the city and escort the treasure?"

"Young master, is this implying that I am about to change, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of force, and I am seeking self-protection?"

"Give me a seal token. Your son's move is to ask me to summon all parties in his name?"

"Why do you act like this?"

"What will happen?"

Xue Qing felt uneasy, his mouth was dry.

Young Master has always been prudent, but this time he fabricated a sacred stone out of nothing, in front of King Chen in public.

This is a great crime!

To put it lightly, this is deceiving Chen Wang face to face!

Strictly speaking, this sacred stone is dedicated to the emperor's birthday, if someone makes a big fuss, then this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

The young master has always been prudent. He once said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. No matter how big the interests are involved, he must be absolutely sure before acting.

But today's actions are so abnormal?

What exactly does the son want to do?

Xue Qing was quite confused.

But he has always been sensitive, but he also knows that the young master must have a plan for this move.

And today, there will be a big change!

Before the Song Tianyuan incident in Xuancheng, before it happened, the young master had ordered Lu He and Bai Qing to formulate a plan. With just one order, the Zhuang's firm could be completely suppressed, so that the loss would be minimized.

Since the Young Master hinted at him, then today must be such a juncture.

"In order to be on the safe side, the shops and warehouses in Zhongding Prefecture should be prepared in advance."

Thinking this way, Xue Qing hurried forward.

And he also vaguely felt that someone was following him behind him.

Is it under Chen Wang's command, secretly following him?

Or were some of the businessmen present, motivated by profit, and sent people to follow them, plotting something wrong?

Xue Qing felt a little uneasy, but a shop of Zhuang's Commercial Company was just ahead, and there were twelve guards there.

As soon as he arrives, he should start preparing.

——

Twelve elite soldiers, dressed in armor and wearing steel knives, entered through the gate.

Among the twelve elite soldiers, there was another one. He looked dignified, walked slowly, and looked cautious.

This person is holding something in both hands, which is covered with red silk.

Seeing such a scene, everyone present showed anticipation.

Is that the divine stone?

If it is really as Chen Wang said, it is really a mysterious and unpredictable treasure.

King Chen went forward.

The twelve elite soldiers were divided into two columns.

The person holding the treasure raised both hands, and slowly sent it forward with great caution.

Chen Wang lifted the red silk on it, and saw it was a wooden box.

And those with sharp eyes can see clearly at a glance.

This is obviously made of red sandalwood.

"This is the sacred stone that the king sent heavy troops to escort, and it will be presented as a birthday gift to the emperor."

Chen Wang took the red sandalwood box and looked at the crowd with a high-spirited air.

In everyone's mind, it is also quite complicated.

In comparison, Chen Wang's etiquette is the most important.

Thinking about it this way, some businessmen who felt that they had been knocked out just now didn't feel very distressed.

And King Chen put one hand on the wooden box, and said: "The sacred stone is noble, and it should be presented to the emperor before it can be revealed, but since it is going to be displayed here at this moment, this king is not stingy."

He said solemnly: "You are all loyal and patriotic people who have offered birthday gifts to the current Holy Majesty, and you are also qualified to witness the gods."

These words have a taste of buying people's hearts.

It also removes some uncomfortable thoughts in some people's minds.

Perhaps he felt that this could also make Zhuang Ming unhappy.

After all, from his point of view, Zhuang Ming stood out for the sake of seeing this thing, but this thing can be realized because everyone can see it.

Following Chen Wang's hand, he opened the red sandalwood box.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the field stagnated.

Everyone's breathing was awe-inspiring.

The light in the field seemed to light up for a moment.

There was an unspeakable aura that permeated the air.

Everyone's heart trembled, and in a trance, their hearts beat a lot faster.

"Is this the divine stone?"

"Sure enough...the magic is infinite."

"The god stone..."

Everyone went forward, but they didn't dare to really approach.

One is to be in awe.

The second is to be afraid of King Chen.

The third is that elite soldiers are guarding the sides, and no one can come near.

Therefore, only a few steps apart, carefully wait and see.

But Chen Wang also held the wooden box and turned to look at Zhuang Ming.

At this moment, Zhuang Ming seemed to be intimidated by the divine stone, and a little blood appeared on his usually sickly and pale face.

King Chen was not surprised, this divine stone has the effect of stimulating qi and blood, and Zhuang Ming's sick body is more obvious, which is also reasonable.

"My lord, it's ten steps away, Zhuang can't see clearly." Zhuang Ming let out his breath slowly and said suddenly.

"Brother Zhuang Ming, this divine stone is too mysterious, stirring up energy and blood, and you are weak and weak, so don't get too excited and die suddenly here."

Chen Wang heard the words and moved forward slowly, saying so with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

Zhuang Ming laughed, and said: "This sacred stone is quite similar to the one in my Zhuang's business house. Zhuang has also come into contact with it, so I am not afraid."

Chen Wang came to him, looked down, his eyes were cold.

Immediately, the red sandalwood box was handed forward and brought to Zhuang Ming.

Zhuang Ming looked at this sacred stone with his usual expression.

About the size of a fist, the color is simple and simple, with a circle of expression lines in the middle, which looks like an eyeball.

At this moment, Zhuang Ming gritted his teeth slightly, and he lowered his head, as if looking at the divine stone.

No one saw his face clearly.

I saw that Zhuang Ming seemed to be fascinated by it.

He slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the divine stone.

"Bold!"

King Chen uttered a voice and shouted: "This is a sacred stone. It should be presented to the emperor. What qualifications do you have to touch the sacred stone?"

Zhuang Ming's hand stopped immediately.

His hand was still a foot away from the divine stone.

But his head was slowly raised, and he looked at Wang Chen with complicated eyes.

Chen Wang looked down at him with contempt in his eyes.

Zhuang Ming suddenly said: "I have been in business for many years, and I rarely take risks. I must be fully sure in my actions. If I am not sure, no matter how high the profit is, I will give it up cruelly and never hesitate."

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhuang Ming said such a sentence inexplicably.

The surrounding people were also quite astonished.

Zhuang Ming sighed, and said: "Whenever I act, I should keep in mind one thing. Those who are good at planning will not involve risks in their actions. But today I know... the reason why I have never taken risks in the past is only because of the benefits I get. Not enough to make me give it a go.”

His words fell, and his eyes sharpened instantly.

An unspeakable sense of crisis rose in Chen Wang's heart, so he wanted to pull back.

But at this moment!

Shout!

I saw a white snake suddenly sprang out from Zhuang Ming's sleeve!

The white snake's eyes were cold, and it suddenly opened its mouth!

In the red sandalwood box, the fist-sized divine stone was swallowed in one gulp!
