Chapter 97: Rewarded again, bold and reckless

【The Heavenly Drum rang nine times in succession!】

【Lu Yu did not strike again.】

【A moment later, that pure white-as-snow Gyrfalcon silently swept back, perching lightly on your shoulder, its eagle eyes sharp and revealing a bit of agility, its claws tightly gripping a small scroll of paper.】

【You open it slowly!】

【Wei Yue looks at this falcon, feeling curious, but inadvertently catches a glimpse of a few lines of small characters on the paper.】

【She only sees the first few lines!】

【"Zhu Que Gate, troops surrounding the city, the prince enters the capital."】

【And the last line is a person's name, "Dai Zhong!"】

【Wei Yue doesn't dare to look anymore.】

【It's just strange, the "Zhu Que Gate" opens tomorrow; isn't this gate the gateway of the Imperial Guard commander?】

【Troops surrounding the city, what is the reason for this?】

【Dai Zhong, isn't he the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice? The highest-ranking official in the Grand Court of Justice.】

【Seeing this, Wei Yue suddenly feels that this visit to the capital seems to have been under this cousin's control all along.】

【But!】

【With just the two of them, how can they fight against such troops in the capital!】

【She really can't figure it out.】

【After you finish reading the note, you are a bit curious about this Minister of Rites of the Great Qing, Xie Chunan; he is quite an interesting person?】

【Xie Chunan's life is also peculiar; in his early years, he studied at Ghost Valley, researched Yin and Yang, studied under a great Confucian, and shaved his head to become a monk, converting to Buddhism.】

【Finally, he returned to secular life, married, and had children.】

【At this time!】

【Lu Yu transmits sound to you that troops have already stepped onto the street outside, and several people have already entered the Imperial City Division!】

【You nod slightly】

【Looking at the current Imperial City Division, the gate walls are high and deep, opening to the south for the common people.】

【This place was originally a place for commoners to appeal grievances, but now things have changed, and the style has changed greatly.】

【Recalling the past, under the rule of Gao Zu, it was clear and fair; if the common people had grievances, they could all beat the drum to appeal and seek justice.】

【There was no need for the Imperial City Division; the government office had its own justice!】

【At that time, under the Heavenly Drum, justice was manifest, and the people's hearts were filled with respect and love for Gao Zu, so they naturally wouldn't easily ring this drum that symbolized the Son of Heaven's loss of virtue.】

【Times have changed, and this Heavenly Drum has actually become a model for the Son of Heaven to show off his benevolence and good governance; it is extremely ironic.】

【You look at this drum that has lost its meaning, and say indifferently: "This drum no longer needs to exist; it should be abolished."】

【Hearing this, Lu Yu's fingertips move, a wisp of clear spiritual energy gathers at his fingertips, slowly exhaled, and explodes upon touching the big drum.】

【Just hearing a loud "Boom," a shocking hole suddenly appears on the drum surface, followed by the entire drum seeming to lose all support, slowly collapsing, and finally turning into a pile of useless wood chips and iron pieces.】

【There is still the lingering rhyme of spiritual energy in the air.】

【You are secretly surprised; in the use of spiritual energy, Lu Yu is indeed gifted.】

【Even three Grandmasters cannot match him!】

【I don't know who else in the world can match him.】

【Tip: Congratulations on obtaining two wisps of Mother Qi of Mediation, to be checked after the ten-year simulation ends.】

The light screen on the big tripod gradually freezes and becomes clear, and a string of text appears.

Yu Ke stares at it, feeling overjoyed.

This mysterious and precious Mother Qi is undoubtedly a great help to him on his cultivation path.

Yu Ke looks at the prompt above, feeling inexplicably strange again.

Obtained Mother Qi of Mediation again?

Strange!】

The harvest from leaving Mount Zhongnan this time is really good, it's just that I've harvested Mother Qi of Mediation continuously within a few days.

Now there are a total of six wisps of Mother Qi of Mediation, which can be checked after the ten-year simulation ends.

These six wisps of Mother Qi should be enough for him to circulate a Great Heavenly Cycle.

His confidence in Foundation Establishment is growing stronger!】

Why can I obtain it by shattering the Heavenly Drum?】

The death of a Grandmaster can be understood; it's the same as killing a monster and exploding equipment.】

What is this shattering of the Heavenly Drum?】

Unlocking in the game, checking in at a location.】

No!】

Yu Ke suddenly thinks, could it be luck!】

The establishment of the Heavenly Drum is the national fortune of the Great Qing.】

But it feels wrong again!】

Previously, "Lu Chen led the Lu family army to shatter the 300,000 Northern Winds," and only obtained one wisp of Mother Qi of Mediation.】

Such an event that changed the trend of the world actually didn't obtain as much Mother Qi as shattering the Heavenly Drum.】

Something is wrong!】

Yu Ke looks at this ancient big tripod, feeling suspicious.】

"Ah Ding, did you start a super evolution?"】

After his two ten-year simulations, spiritual energy recovered.】

The third simulation reward increased directly.】

Now for the fourth simulation, the reward value has exploded directly.】

It's a good thing anyway!】

Yu Ke doesn't think much about it, and the simulation continues.】

【Witnessing this, Zhang Lin's eyes are hollow, muttering to himself: "Everything is over..."】

【At this moment, his heart is filled with despair】

【Since the Heavenly Drum is destroyed, does the existence of the Imperial City Division still have meaning?】

【Xie Linghao's face is also as pale as paper; he finally knows the true intention of this Lu Shaobao—it's not really to accuse the Son of Heaven, but to use the Heavenly Drum as a guide to stir up the situation in the capital.】

【Ringing the Heavenly Drum, the capital shakes.】

【One can imagine!】

【On the streets outside, I don't know how many commoners attracted by the drum sound have gathered and come to the Imperial City Division.】

【"Not good!"】

【Xie Linghao is thinking, when there is already noise outside.】

【The gate guard walks in hurriedly, reporting urgently!】

【"Two Commanders, people from the Grand Court of Justice have come?"】

【Xie Linghao didn't expect that so little time had passed!】

【The Grand Court of Justice came so fast!】

【Every time something happens in the capital, the Grand Court of Justice must be on the scene.】

【It's simply sharper than a dog's nose.】

【It takes half a stick of incense to get here from the Grand Court of Justice; it's impossible to be this fast?】

【Unless!】

【The Grand Court of Justice had already arrived at the Imperial City Division.】

【Now that the Heavenly Drum has been rung, there is no reason for them not to arrive.】

【Xie Linghao hurriedly says: "Quick, close the gate for me."】

【"No one is allowed to open it today!"】

【The gate guard's face is nervous, stuttering: "Already..."】

【Xie Linghao has always had a good temper, but now he is impatient and kicks the gate guard over.】

【The gate guard is kicked to the ground, his voice panicked: "My Lord, it's already... it's already too late; the people from the Grand Court of Justice have already entered."】

【Just then!】

【"Lord Xie, are you so unwelcoming to us?"】

【A somewhat indifferent tone comes from the doorway.】

【Xie Linghao's gaze gathers at the doorway.】

【Just look!】

【The three of them walked in first, followed by several government office guards in scarlet robes holding sabers.】

【Aggressive!】

【Zhang Lin has already stood up, reacting, looking at the three.】

【"This is the territory of the Imperial City Division; it's not the Grand Court of Justice's turn to run wild."】

【"Get lost, all of you!"】

【Xie Linghao's eyes are gloomy.】

【Among the three from the Grand Court of Justice, the middle-aged man in the red robe with a cold face is the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice.】

【On the left is the Vice Minister of the Grand Court of Justice, an old man with a white beard.】

【On the right is a handsome young man.】

【You slowly turn around; there is indeed an acquaintance among the three.】

【The young man on the right is Wang Shian, the grandson of Wang Yang, whom you met at the city gate.】

【Seeing the Heavenly Drum destroyed and seeing you here.】

【He frowns slightly, saying in a deep voice: "Lu Shaobao, you are truly bold and reckless."】

【"Not taking the laws of the Great Qing into your eyes."】
