King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

When Wu Zetian appeared at the banquet, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wu Zetian.

Upon seeing this, Wu Zetian waved to everyone. She looked very amiable and had no imperial airs at all.

"Don't be shy, everyone."

When everyone relaxed a little, Wu Zetian went straight to the point and said, "I, there are three main purposes for organizing this dinner today."

"First, welcome Zhang Cheng, the teaching assistant of Jixia Academy, and Princess Zhaojun to Chang'an."

"Not long ago, Zhang Cheng, together with the swordsman Li Bai, provided very important help to Changcheng. The reason why Changcheng was able to overcome the difficulties and the people of Heluo did not have to leave their homes was because of these two people."

"Princess Zhaojun, everyone should know her well. She once traveled to the northern wilderness for the sake of the people in this land. She made selfless contributions."

As Wu Zetian finished speaking, the people around her immediately began to discuss in a low voice.

"Princess Zhaojun lived more than a hundred years ago, and was older than my grandmother. Today, Princess Zhaojun looks to be only about twenty years old. This shows that Princess Zhaojun's cultivation has probably broken through to the King level."

"It seems that we don't have a king-level expert in Heluo yet. If Princess Zhaojun stays in Chang'an in the future, the influence of our Chang'an will definitely be greatly improved on the existing basis."

"There is also Zhang Cheng, who is an assistant professor at Jixia Academy. If he maintains a friendly attitude towards Chang'an, it means that Jixia Academy and Chang'an will maintain a friendly attitude. In the future, it should be much easier for young talents in Chang'an to join Jixia Academy than it is now."

Those who were able to attend the banquet were not stupid and they quickly saw the great value of Zhang Cheng and Wang Zhaojun.

As long as Zhang Cheng and Wang Zhaojun are willing to stay in Chang'an, it will not only increase Heluo's influence, but also make Heluo safer.

After everyone had been talking for a long time, Wu Zetian gently waved her hand at everyone.

When everyone quieted down, Wu Zetian continued, "Second, I have sought the consent of both parties and am going to marry Shangguan Wan'er to Zhang Cheng. At the same time, I invite Wang Zhaojun to be my sister and the eldest princess of Heluo."

Wu Zetian's words caused the people around to discuss in low voices again.

The empress's methods are very clever.

Zhang Cheng and Wang Zhaojun were directly bound together by personal connections.

Ming Shiyin stood aside, frowning slightly.

Wu Zetian's move was to tie Zhang Cheng and Wang Zhaojun firmly to the chariot of Heluo.

With Zhang Cheng and Wang Zhaojun joining Heluo, Chang'an's strength has increased dramatically, which will have a huge impact on Ming Shiyin's next plan.

It seems that some things can no longer be planned and need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"The third thing is that I actually need a favor from you all today."

Having said this, Wu Zetian slowly stood up.

"The Great Wall was attacked by demons before, and suffered heavy losses, including the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers. I am launching a fundraising campaign here today, and I hope that everyone can show some love for the Great Wall."

"Half of the money raised this time will be used to provide pensions for the dead and comfort the injured soldiers. The other half will be used to improve the current situation of the Great Wall Guards."

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Di Renjie was the first to stand up.

"As the Minister of the Dali Temple, I am willing to donate 500 gold coins to the Great Wall."

Having said that, Di Renjie took out five silver bills and threw them into a huge wooden box.

In the King's Continent, the main currency in circulation is gold coins.

Because it was inconvenient to carry a large amount of gold coins, silver notes and gold notes came into being.

A silver note is worth one hundred gold coins, and a gold note is worth ten thousand gold coins.

Although Di Renjie was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, he was an incorruptible official and he often helped some needy families in Chang'an City on weekdays. Therefore, five hundred gold coins were a drop in the bucket for some wealthy businessmen, but this amount was almost enough to drain Di Renjie's entire fortune.

After Di Renjie set the example, the others reacted and started donating.

Some people donated 10,000 yuan, and some donated 100,000 yuan.

Soon, Wu Zetian raised millions of gold coins.

Ming Shiyin smiled as he took out thirty gold notes under the gaze of the crowd and said, "Without the Great Wall, once the demons flood into Heluo, countless people will be displaced or killed by the demons."

"It's a shame. I'm powerless and can't join the Great Wall Guards to contribute to the people of Heluo."

"I would like to take this opportunity to donate 300,000 gold coins to contribute a little to the Great Wall."

Three hundred thousand gold coins, this is definitely a huge fortune.

So as Ming Shiyin finished speaking, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

After the fundraising event ended, the dancers from Changlefang began to dance.

What made Zhang Cheng a little regretful was that although the dancers selected by Changlefang were beautiful and had good figures, they were not the Gongsun Li and Yang Yuhuan that Zhang Cheng had expected.

After the dancers from Changlefang brought the atmosphere of the banquet to its climax, Wu Zetian took Wang Zhaojun away on the pretext of something.

Wang Zhaojun didn't like the lively scene at the banquet.

Wu Zetian also found the right opportunity and took Wang Zhaojun to a quiet place to have a good chat.

As soon as Wu Zetian and Wang Zhaojun left, Ming Shiyin began to become active.

Ming Shiyin, who stole the show during the fundraising session, first came to Zhang Cheng.

"Hello, I am Ming Shiyin, a hermit of the Peony Sect. It is an honor to meet you here."

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Ming Shiyin looked polite, and Zhang Cheng was too embarrassed to slap him, so he imitated Ming Shiyin and said with a smile: "Ming Shiyin, the Peony Hermit, I have heard of your name for a long time. I heard that you have a plan that is very well thought out. Did you calculate that we would encounter a crisis when we arrived at the Great Wall?"

Ming Shiyin nodded gently and said, "Yes, I did predict that the Great Wall would encounter a crisis, but it's a pity that it's easy to make mistakes when peeping into the secrets of heaven. I didn't expect that the Great Wall crisis would be so dangerous. If I had known that an army of 20,000 demons would attack the Great Wall, I would have suggested to the empress in advance to send reinforcements to the Great Wall."

After secretly sighing, Ming Shiyin looked shocked and said to Zhang Cheng, "Can we find a place where there is no one? I want to chat with you for a while."

Zhang Cheng looked around and finally set his sights on a dark corner. "Okay! There's no one in that corner over there. We can go over there and talk alone."

Ming Shiyin followed Zhang Cheng to an empty corner, and he said to Zhang Cheng directly: "Brother Zhang Cheng, I just told you a fortune. In the next few days, you will have a bloody disaster."
