My young master is also very interested in what you are doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Chai Wu immediately flattered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the two were chatting, Situ Yaozu walked over dragging someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, I already said I'm not changing jobs, what are you doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Situ Yaozu with slight anger, Wang Erya's face was full of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll be safer coming here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking to Wang Erya, Situ Yaozu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is under the Emperor's feet, Kaifeng Prefecture; what danger could I possibly be in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Wang Erya's face was full of refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Erya with curiosity, a look of doubt on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, cousin, this is Wang Erya! A famous courtesan, she sings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Introducing Wang Erya, Situ Yaozu explained: \"This is my cousin, the future Prince Consort!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Situ Yaozu with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng really wanted to say that the first part could be mentioned, but the second part was completely unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Wang Erya stepped forward quite gossipy: \"Is the princess your cousin is going to marry the one whose husband was beheaded by Bao Qingtian a while ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, you know about that too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya in pleasant surprise, Situ Yaozu was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it's spread all over the pleasure houses. I heard that the new Prince Consort is seven feet tall, heroic and extraordinary...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Wang Erya examined Zhang Cheng: \"But he's not seven feet tall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over six feet, almost seven feet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya in anger, Zhang Cheng could not help but grit his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over six feet, that's still not seven feet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Complaining about Zhang Cheng, Wang Erya seemed to have no idea what fear was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasping for air, Situ Yaozu quickly covered Wang Erya's mouth: \"Shh, stop talking, my dear lady, my cousin is a person who holds grudges!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, this friend of yours is quite mischievous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Situ Yaozu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foot in the Song Dynasty was 33 centimeters; if he were really seven feet tall, wouldn't he be over two meters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that height, why be a Prince Consort? Why not go straight to the battlefield and be Xiang Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng's height wasn't very imposing, but he was over six feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted to modern height, that was 195cm, which was already standing out from the crowd in the Song Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, don't hold it against her. She's a villager who just arrived in the city, she doesn't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at Wang Erya beside him, Situ Yaozu quickly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Situ Yaozu finished speaking, Wang Erya stomped hard on his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covering his mouth, Situ Yaozu looked around, his face turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young lady, my 'Heaven on Earth' is currently lacking a manager. I wonder if you would be willing to take the position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you do here? It won't be the same as those pleasure houses, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examining Zhang Cheng, Wang Erya revealed a suspicious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the reason she became a famous courtesan was that she didn't want to accept the \"dark secrets\" of the brothels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't care about talented scholars or romance at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come to Bianliang with dreams, but as a result, those who sang worse than her were already becoming famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, everything is completely voluntary!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your background very big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Wang Erya became curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, Chen Shimei was beheaded by my cousin acting as a prosecutor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning in to explain in a low voice, Situ Yaozu's words made Wang Erya widen her eyes, and then she could not help but look at Zhang Cheng: \"Young Master, you didn't have your eye on the princess a long time ago, did you! And then you... *clack*... Chen Shimei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Erya finished speaking, Situ Yaozu on the side said in disbelief: \"Cousin, you also have the ambition of a Prime Minister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Zhang Mou, read the Spring and Autumn Annals; I act upright and sit straight, I have never had such thoughts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya with annoyance, Zhang Cheng also slapped Situ Yaozu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if this were to spread, how would he, Zhang Mou, mix in society in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Read the Spring and Autumn Annals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning her head, Bai Yutang heard this sentence, and she was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had been a \"classmate\" with Zhang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What this guy was reading all day was Grand Tutor Pang's collector's edition of \"Illustrated Explanations\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, if you say any more, give me back the Juque Sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing Bai Yutang away, Zhang Cheng threatened her, because he felt his innocence was about to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: Since ancient times, who has not died? I want to leave my innocence in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Wenyi: You can actually say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the magnificent \"Heaven on Earth,\" looking at the craftsmen decorating, Situ Yaozu asked curiously: \"Cousin, why are you building two water pools here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand, this is called gathering water to collect wealth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving the folding fan in his hand, Zhang Cheng explained with a face full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what about this? Why is there a turtle here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Situ Yaozu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turtle? What turtle, I clearly placed a toad here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Zhang Cheng turned his head, but in the next second, he froze on the spot: \"Where the hell is my toad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the toad in the water pool missing, with only two water turtles inside, Zhang Cheng panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as a Southerner, he could not believe in his right eye jumping, but he had to believe in the Martial God of Wealth's golden toad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could steal his feng shui fish, but if you stole his golden toad, Zhang Cheng would go crazy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: Ah, my golden toad...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Bear: Ah, my Armani...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who, who stole my golden toad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing his head, Zhang Cheng became anxious and asked Chai Wu on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden toad? A group of people from the Fan Tower came over to take a look a moment ago, and then they left holding a toad. Is that what you're talking about, Young Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Chai Wu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he hadn't taken the golden toad seriously at all; after all, it was just plated with a layer of gold, and the inside was iron!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a disgusting business war!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that the people from the Fan Tower had actually stolen his golden toad, Zhang Cheng could not help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had long guessed that he would have a competitive relationship with the Fan Tower, but he hadn't expected them to act so decisively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, what do we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at Zhang Cheng beside him, Situ Yaozu became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking at Situ Yaozu beside him, Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment: \"Build me two catapult towers on the roof, aimed at the Fan Tower. I want to bombard their feng shui formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Situ Yaozu and Chai Wu on the side were both dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they stole your golden toad, and you're setting up catapult towers here? Who did you learn this from, and can this actually work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in doubt, Wang Erya felt this guy had some problems, and quite serious ones at that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standard Chartered: I'm familiar with this operation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: If the technology were good enough, I would have built the three steel blades of the Bank of China!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Tower: Quick, invite a master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tonight, Bai Yutang, you go steal the Fan Tower's signboard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Bai Yutang beside him, Zhang Cheng became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing at herself, Bai Yutang had a look of astonishment, because wasn't this comparable to the Nine-Headed Snake asking Benboba'er to go mess with Tang Seng and his disciples?\u003C\u002Fp>",1438,"2026-06-18T01:05:47.158Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9badc6181712f32e106d5be21dccd75946ba9ffe8e9f6da72cfce165e9fc32a3","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-22","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-20",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
