I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 43: A Candid Meeting in the Bustling Capital

It turned out that Zhang Hong disliked the dilapidated and dirty Lanruo Temple, so he asked the tree demon and his men to thoroughly clean and repair it.

Today, this temple is cleaner and more beautiful than when the great monks practiced here.

Everywhere was bright and clear, many of the surrounding trees had been removed, the air was fresh and spotless, and the place still looked as eerie and scary as it did a few days ago.

In the Lingxiao Hall, all the broken Buddha statues have been cleaned and removed, and replaced with flowers and strange stones.

The Buddhist paintings on the walls were also replaced and covered by landscape scrolls.

The futon in the center of the hall was replaced by a huge desk, and several large bookshelves around it were filled with books and scrolls.

It seems to have been transformed into a Taoist temple.

【Lan Ruo Yuan】.

The stone carvings in front of the gate were also renamed and the Buddhist traces were removed.

"Student Ning Caichen (subordinate Xiahou Qingfeng)."

"Meet the Heavenly Lord!"

The two of them, along with Zhuge Liang, bowed respectfully to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong sat on the armchair behind the desk, reading seriously, and waved his hand to signal them not to greet him.

Zhuge Wulong was greatly surprised to see that the so-called Heavenly Venerable was actually a mighty and handsome young man less than 30 years old.

[Master Tianzun is so young? 】

But on second thought, I felt relieved.

The gods all have the secret to immortality.

Lord Tianzun looks young, but he may have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

How can one judge age by appearance?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Wulong straightened his appearance and knelt down respectfully.

"I, Zhuge Wulong, thank you, Lord, for saving my life!"

Xiahou Qingfeng next to him twitched his face.

Good old man, you are really good at adding drama.

Zhuge Liang's kneeling made it seem as if the other two who did not kneel were not being polite.

This old man is such a scheming weirdo!

Three days later, in the capital.

Chaoyang Street.

"Scholar, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up!"

"oh oh!"

Ning Caichen came to his senses and hurriedly followed Zhuge Wulong's pace.

His current identity is Zhuge Wulong's disciple, and Tianzun asked him to study under Zhuge Wulong.

This unremarkable old man is actually the descendant of the famous Guiguzi School. He knows astronomy and geography, and is well versed in various studies.

Lord Tianzun seemed to admire his talent very much.

This made old man Zhuge feel very proud in front of the other people. He was often complacent and preached as a senior.

Ning Caichen was walking on the bustling streets of the capital, but his mind was not on the prosperous scenery around him, but on the sacred feeling of the beautiful women.

But his eyes couldn't help but drift forward and fell on the graceful figure next to Lord Tianzun.

She was a woman with a face as rosy as peach blossoms, eyebrows as indigo, and a radiant and charming appearance.

Holding a red oil-paper umbrella, she followed the Heavenly Master quietly and gently.

It was Ning Xiaoqian.

I don’t know what magic the Heavenly Master used, but in broad daylight, a female ghost like Nie Xiaoqian was able to appear and move around without being affected.

Looking at Nie Xiaoqian following Zhang Hong closely, she secretly glanced at Zhang Hong's profile with loving eyes.

Ning Caichen inexplicably felt heartbroken, as if he had lost something extremely important.

【What's wrong with me? 】

[Why would I be jealous of a female ghost? I have never met this girl Xiaoqian before...]

[Alas. If Miss Xiaoqian was not a ghost and had not been taken as a maid by Tianzun, how great it would be...]

Ning Caichen didn't know what was wrong with him.

Recently, Nie Xiaoqian's figure has been on his mind, making him often absent-minded.

"Tianzun, what are we doing in the capital?"

Nie Xiaoqian asked curiously. She was holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a veil, following Zhang Hong, looking curiously at the bustling streets of the capital, looking like a young lady out shopping.

She looked ruddy and had a healthy breath, just like a living person.

After refining a large amount of Zhang Hong's yang energy, her soul body unexpectedly mutated and was able to appear during the day.

Zhang Hong was also very surprised and marveled at this.

As expected of the son of the plane, he is truly magical.

Zhang Hong had already changed into ancient costume at this time, not wanting to attract attention because of his appearance.

He was dressed like a young man from a noble family, holding a paper fan, wearing a jade crown and dressed in flowing white clothes.

Although he brought everyone to the capital for business, Zhang Hong was not in a hurry to get to work after arriving. Instead, he took everyone out for fun and eating.

He gently waved his paper fan and smiled at Nie Xiaoqian, "When doing things, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Saving the world and rescuing people from disasters is not a one-day job. It won't delay us to take a short rest and relax."

"It's a rare trip to the capital, so let's have some fun today. Feel free to eat, drink and have fun. All the expenses will be reimbursed by me!"

Zhang Hong waved his hand, and everyone cheered and spent the huge sum of money they had received.

Zhang Hongze took Nie Xiaoqian alone to travel around the mountains and rivers.

Since the other three maids were not strong enough, Zhang Hong asked them to stay in Lanruo Temple.

It’s true that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was really prosperous, and all kinds of gadgets really opened the eyes of Zhang Hong, a modern man.

Looking at Nie Xiaoqian who was by his side, with a bright look and a sweet smile.

In a trance, Zhang Hong recalled his previous life, when he was always accompanied by a beautiful woman.

But that was a robot, and now it has been replaced by a female ghost.

Quite... used to it.

At night, Baixiang Tower, the most prosperous building in the capital.

The group of people who came out of Lanruoyuan reunited. Everyone had a smile on their face and returned with a lot of gains.

Zhang Hong booked a first-class private room for dinner.

Xiahou Qingfeng stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. The emperor of this dynasty is named Zhu Wanli, and he has been in office for twenty-four years..."

"Minister of War Fu Tianchou left Beijing last month and was sent to western Sichuan to quell the banditry..."

"In March of this year, a monk named Pudu Cihang was named the Protector of the Nation by the Emperor and was given the Cihang Palace, thirty miles west of the city..."

Xiahou Qingfeng reported to Zhang Hong the information he had obtained.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, he was sent by Zhang Hong to inquire about the news of the court.

In fact, Zhang Hong has already observed the situation in the court clearly through his super hearing and super vision.

He asked Xiahou Qingfeng to do the work just to train his subordinates' abilities and did not want him, the boss, to do everything himself in the future.

"Well, hard work."

Zhang Hong nodded.

Let everyone eat first and then talk about business.

After a good meal, Zhang Hong dismissed the idlers and said to Ning Caichen and the others, "I came to the capital to rectify the dynasty and to exorcise demons and monsters."

"The emperor of the time was incompetent, the court was corrupt, corrupt officials harmed the people, causing natural and man-made disasters, the people were living in misery, and demons were rampant."

"I want to rectify the court with lightning speed, cut the Gordian knot, and use severe punishments in troubled times. In the future, I may do things that you think are heretical and treasonous. If you want to withdraw now, it is not too late, and I will not blame you."

Xiahou Qingfeng, the number one lackey, immediately stood up and shouted, "Grandpa Tianzun, what are you talking about? The emperor is incompetent and the officials are corrupt. I have long been fed up with this!"

"As long as the Lord of Heaven gives the order, I, Xiahou Qingfeng, will be the first to rebel against the imperial court!"
