Chapter 158: Companion Moon Building!

  At dawn, Qin Zheng summoned Nan Mingjun through the Wanli Huling Bell.

  In the imperial city of Datong, a thousand miles away, the Lingyin Bell rang out in an instant, and almost at the same time, someone found Qin Zheng. He asked this person to find Nan Mingjun, and then handed over a letter he had written to Nan Mingjun to give to Crown Prince Lu Tianlang of Datong. The content of the letter was to ask Lu Tianlang for help in finding the Tianyang liquid.

  He himself did not go to see Lu Tianlang, after all, the aftermath of the battle at Mingyang Mountain had been going on for a month and was still ongoing. If he were to openly go to the Datong Imperial Palace, it would likely cause trouble for the Datong imperial family, such as whether there would be any moves from the Riyao Daochang or Linggu Domain, which would not be good.

  In Qin Zheng's view, Lu Tianlang had helped him before. No matter what, if he could avoid causing trouble for him, then it was best not to cause any trouble. This is what friends were for.

  Tangning had breakfast with her daughter.

  The matter of Tang Lian has come to an end, and the Tang family has temporarily calmed down a lot, but the difficulties faced by the Tang family have not changed at all.

  San Shan Hou has always been eyeing them with a tiger's gaze.

  This is caused by the harsh conditions of Datong Empire's enthronement.

  To become a king, apart from making great contributions, another shortcut is to have two marquises, or for someone to reach the Tianwu realm, and also to gain the support of three kings.

  According to Qin Zheng's understanding, the three mountains and rivers Hou Cheng Yuanqiao's strength naturally did not reach the Tianwu boundary, but Cheng Yuanqiao's father, the old San Shanhou who had reached the limit of his lifespan, had reached it, and was likely to approach the end of his life at any time.

  The Marquis of the Datong Empire is fixed and can never be increased, so if you want to compete, you have to take action against one of the hundred marquises within the Datong Empire.

  Of these hundred marquises, the vast majority have a strong backing. Although there are a few who are weak in power, their descendants have potential. It can be said that the worst of them is the Ningyuan Marquisate of the Tang family, whose descendants also lack potential.

  Breakfast was not very enjoyable. Tangning only ate a few bites and kept glancing at Qin Jing, wanting to say something but stopping herself, making it impossible for others to eat.

  Qin Zheng was feeling down due to the effects of Tian Yang's liquid, but when he saw Tang Ning'er looking troubled, he thought about how Tang Ning'er had taken care of Yu Xiuqin for the past month. At that moment, Tang Ning'er's temperament was really pitiful, and Tian Yang's liquid wasn't urgent at the moment, so he said: "What is it? Just say it, don't hesitate."

  "If you don't want to help, I won't force you." Tang Ning'er said with some lack of confidence.

  "Ning Er's sister, he has already said that, how can he not help you? What's the matter, just say it, is it about San Shan Hou or something?" Yu Xiuxian hastily said.

  As Yuxiu Xiang's third generation of friends, she still attaches great importance to Tang Ning'er.

  Tang Ning'er nodded.

  Qin Zhengdao said: "Specifically what's going on, just say it, the sooner we deal with San Shanhou, the sooner I can focus on my own affairs."

  "I know San Shan Hou doesn't count for much in your eyes, but...but..." Tang Ning Er hesitated again.

  "But what." Qin Zheng patiently asked.

  "San Shan Hou and Xuan Yang Wang have a good relationship." Tang Ning Er said.

  Qin Zheng finally understood that Tang Ning was worried about teaching the Third Mountain Marquis a lesson, fearing that it would bring trouble from the Xuan Yang Wang Fu. He smiled lightly and said: "Unless I take the initiative to provoke them, there is no king in the Da Tong Empire who dares to come looking for me."

  That's true.

  After all, it is well known that Lu Tianlang took the initiative to send Nan Mingjun to help him.

  So even if the Xuan Yang Wang Fu had a strong Soul Martial Realm cultivator, it would be impossible for them to confront him because of San Shan Hou.

  "Didn't you hear, that wicked brother of yours is very formidable. Ning Er sister, tell me, what's going on? Is San Shan Hou coming to stir up trouble again?" Yu Xiu Yin said.

  Tang Ning'er said, "Not yet, but tonight there will be a Baihou Tea Party, and the son of San Shan Hou will definitely attend. He will surely target our Ningyuan Hou Mansion, so I want to invite you all to participate. As long as we show up in person, it will intimidate them, and San Shan Hou should have some restraint."

  "What's this 'Baihou Tea Party'? It must be a lot of fun!" Yuxiu couldn't wait to try it.

  "Uh-huh, it's a grand gathering that all the young masters of the hundred marquises of the Da Tong Empire will attend. It's held once a year and is hosted by those minor gods in turn. Whether or not the young masters reside in the imperial capital, their children will come to participate. Today marks the 107th time it's been held, and even the current Da Tong hundred marquises' grandfather had attended before. Almost every time there's a marquis at his lowest point, on the verge of losing his title, it's the most lively moment. And as far as I know, except for the San Shan Marquis, no one else has been eyeing our Ning Yuan Marquis title, only not as strongly as San Shan." Tang Ning'er explained in detail.

  Qin Zheng's heart moved slightly as he asked, "Since all the young masters of the hundred marquises are participating, it must be the time when information is most freely circulated."

  Tang Ning'er blinked and said, "I've participated in several of them. To say that there are some rare treasures, they know a lot about it, some I haven't even heard of, and these people all like to show off, so the information is very fluid, not an exaggeration at all."

  In this way, Qin Zheng had to participate even more.

  He can now only go to the most lively and crowded places with the most information flow, and try his best to find intelligence about the Tianyang liquid.

  There was a definite response from Qin Zheng, willing to help, and Tang Ning's mood improved significantly. However, her attitude towards Qin Zheng never recovered to the original equal footing of their friendship, which left both Qin Zheng and Yu Xiuqin somewhat disappointed.

  The Qin government did not force it either, some things are unavoidable.

  After breakfast, Qin Zheng didn't want to stay in the mansion to practice either. He wanted to find a place to go for a stroll and asked Tang Ning'er where was the most lively place, so that he could inquire about the news of Tianyang's liquid. Even if he couldn't get any information, it was still better than waiting at home, which was more boring.

  Tangning immediately recommended a place to Qin Jing.

  That is Banyue Mountain Villa.

  "I've heard Ning'er sister mention the Companion Moon Manor on our way to the Imperial Capital more than once, saying it's the most lively place. Apparently, a peerless expert used to live there, and that expert was none other than the Companion Moon Martial Artist. After reaching the Divine Warrior Realm, wherever he went, whether day or night, sunny or cloudy, there would always be a crescent moon in the sky accompanying him. He actually completed his advancement to the Divine Warrior Realm at the Companion Moon Manor, so as a memento, he set up an ingenious mechanism that allows anyone to see the crescent moon in the sky at any time. Let's go there and have some fun!" Yuxiu Xiang excitedly clapped her hands in delight.

  Qin Zheng's understanding of Ban Yue Mountain Villa was even more than Tang Ning'er's.

  Because Banyue Mountain Villa had been mentioned by Old Donghai King more than once, it was mainly because Old Donghai King had practiced in Banyue Mountain Villa and had a wonderful enlightenment, which came from the inspiration brought by the crescent moon.

  They set off towards Banyue Mountain Villa.

  This way of walking, Qin Zheng uses Dou Hu Shi at every moment.

  It's not about increasing the pressure to intimidate others, but rather to achieve a state of "double ears like tiger" and reach the small circle of Dou Hu's perfection, which can greatly enhance his hearing.

  Just like eyes like tiger, visual enhancement.

  He was doing his best to gather all possible intelligence about the Tianyang liquid.

  Arrived at Banyue Mountain Villa in a leisurely manner.

  The mountain villa covers a vast area, about 20,000 to 30,000 square meters, which is still an expansion later on. In fact, when that strong man was there, the mountain villa only had one or two thousand square meters.

  The manor has been carefully designed by later generations and can be described as picturesque.

  Courtyards and gardens, winding streams, classic works left behind by scholars and poets, as well as the insights of former strongmen who traveled here, attracted many ordinary people and warriors to come.

  Apart from these, what attracts most attention is still that one building, the Companion Moon Pavilion.

  The Moon Accompanying Building is the only place where you can see the remaining moon at any time. The building is no more than 100 meters high, with some wind chimes hanging around it, which make rhythmic tinkling sounds as the wind blows, very pleasant to hear. On the surface of the Moon Accompanying Building, there is also a faint layer of moonlight flowing.

  At this time, Banyue Mountain Villa was crowded with people, very congested.

  Qin Zheng was speechless and lost his smile. There were too many people here, and it was impossible to get any useful information. Most of the people who came here were just tourists.

  It's actually the Companion Moon Building that is relatively quiet. The main reason is that there are restrictions on ascending to the building, and only warriors above the Unintentional Martial Boundary or nobles of the Grand Teleportation Empire can enter.

  They rushed straight to the Companion Moon Building.

  With Tangning leading the way, they naturally didn't encounter any trouble and entered very smoothly.

  It was also at the moment of entering the Companion Moon Building that Qin Zheng keenly sensed a faint weak power fluctuation, as if this Companion Moon Building itself was a special design.

  "Huh?"

  Yu Xiuxin subconsciously grabbed Qin Zheng's arm.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Zheng asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know, this Moon Accompanying Building seems to have some effect on me." Yu Xiuzhen said in puzzlement.

  Qin Zheng knew that Yu Xiuxian's sensitivity to the aura was not something ordinary people could compare to, so he secretly protected her and allowed her to sense as much as possible.

  Of course, they were still walking slowly upstairs.

  Just as they were about to reach the top floor, their path was blocked by someone.

  The man blocking the way was a young man with his hands clasped to his chest, looking down at Qin Zheng and others with disdain, specifically sneering at Tang Ning'er, saying: "Isn't this the future Ningyuan Marquis Tang Ning'er?"

  "Cheng Da!"

  Tang Ning'er saw this young man and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

  This man was Cheng Da, the son of San Shan Marquis.

  Accompanying Cheng Da were several young men wearing brocade robes, and Qin Zheng judged from their tone and demeanor when talking to Cheng Da that they were likely also some young masters.

  "Tsk, tsk, look at you with that angry face, it's actually quite beautiful. Even I, Ben Houye, can't help but feel a little moved." Cheng Da's eyes slyly swept over Tang Ning'er's body.

  Tang Ning Er was furious: "Cheng Da, don't be arrogant. The title of Ningyuan Hou will not be taken away by you."

  Cheng Da sneered, "Is that so? You think finding a helper to get rid of those useless good-for-nothings Yao Cheng and the others will allow you to keep your Ningyuan Marquis title? How laughable." He coldly laughed and glanced at Qin Zheng with a condescending attitude, pointing at him, "This is the helper you found, doesn't look like much either."
