My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 284 How are you going to help me get into the imperial city? Rely on these secret guards?

Wan Sutong had no time to care about the two of them at this moment, and hurried to Duan Xueruo to check her pulse.

After a while, Duan Xueruo saw that she had been silent for a long time, as if she had made enough mental preparations, and asked calmly, "But is there no cure?"

Wan Sutong frowned and shook her head with doubt in her eyes, "No, it's just..."

After hearing this, Duan Xueruo's eyes immediately rekindled hope and hurriedly asked, "There is still a glimmer of hope, right?"

Wan Sutong withdrew her hand and then carefully observed the powder remaining on Duan Xueruo's collar. She collected the powder in her palm and twisted it with her fingers. After a moment, she discussed with 0533 in her mind with some hesitation, "This doesn't seem to be poison. Duan Xueruo's meridians are not damaged, but her cultivation is slowly improving. Could it be that this poison greatly increases her cultivation and finally causes her to explode and die?"

0533 At this time, he analyzed the powder in Wan Sutong's hand. "According to the analysis of this system, this is a powder used to improve cultivation. It is indeed not a poison. This system suspects that Jiao Chuyuan was anxious and used the medicine for improving cultivation and the poison in the wrong way. Otherwise, Jiao Chuyuan would not have died suddenly. It may also be that Jiao Chuyuan is not a bad person by nature."

When Wan Sutong heard that it was a beneficial medicine powder, she immediately created a pocket and then quietly put the powder away.

Seeing this, Duan Xueruo thought Wan Sutong wanted to study the powder carefully, so she grabbed Wan Sutong's hand and said, "Manager Wan, please help me! I will agree to any conditions you have. You must help me."

Wan Sutong patted Duan Xueruo on the shoulder after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, what he sprinkled from his sleeves was not poison, but medicinal powder that is beneficial to cultivation. Maybe he used it wrongly in a hurry, or maybe he didn't have the heart to hurt you. You see, after all, he died suddenly just now."

Duan Xueruo lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment, then clasped her hands and said to Wan Sutong, "Thank you, Manager Wan."

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Ouyang Qingshu led a group of disciples and ran out from the backyard in a panic, "Father! There's a flood in the back mountain! The library has collapsed!"

The leader of Qinggu Sect was shocked when he heard this. "What? You can bring out the ancient books?"

Ouyang Qingshu shook her head breathlessly, "It's all burned!"

The leader of Qinggu Sect hurriedly asked again, "Where are the banknotes?" Seeing Ouyang Qingshu shaking her head again, the leader of Qinggu Sect felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. The next moment, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Ouyang Qingshu's pupils suddenly shrank and he quickly grabbed his father and said, "Dad!"

The leader of Qinggu Sect waved his hands and said in a dejected tone, "I understand what Pavilion Master Ye meant by that!"

At the same time, Yuwen Songyue in Qiyue Pavilion was observing the current situation of Qinggu Sect through a bronze mirror. The Qinggu Sect was obviously in chaos. The guests in the stands came to Liang Qingzhou and Gu Yunxiao, begging them to save them.

"If it's really as you said," Yuwen Songyue sighed and turned to look at Zhao Jinghua. "Now that the Qinggu Sect is in chaos, aren't you afraid that something might happen to your sister-in-law?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled after hearing this and said, "Don't worry." At the same time, there was a knock on the door. "Master, are you in the room?"

Yuwen Songyue was about to get up and leave, but Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to stop him, "Come in."

Hu Yuefei pushed the door open and walked in. Then he carefully walked behind the screen and bowed slightly to Zhao Jinghua and Yuwen Songyue. "Master, Uncle Master..."

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at Hu Yuefei, "But what don't you understand?"

Hu Yuefei shook his head and said tentatively, "No, it's just that I want to write a letter to my sister."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled when he heard this and said, "You don't need to ask for your master's permission for such trivial matters in the future. After you write it, give it to your uncle, and he will send a secret guard to deliver it."

Hu Yuefei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "Disciple understands." As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuefei saw the backyard of Qinggu Sect with flames rising to the sky on the bronze mirror beside him. "This is... Qinggu Sect!"

Yuwen Songyue sneered and leaned back in his chair. "Yes, the Jiao family wants to dominate the world, so they took advantage of the gathering of all the talented people and the ascension of the powerful elders in the sect to poison the well water. Now they have burned down the library. I am afraid that the Qinggu Sect will have to wait a hundred years before it can regain its former glory."

Hu Yuefei frowned and said indignantly, "This Jiao family is really despicable and shameless."

Yuwen Songyue sighed and shook his head helplessly. "If you want to completely get rid of the Jiao family, you have to kill the head of the Jiao family. That old man must be more than 500 years old. Even the proud son of heaven cannot defeat him, unless..." At this point, Yuwen Songyue set his sights on Zhao Jinghua. "He is immortal, or he has power that is not inferior to that of Emperor Hongyu."

After hearing this, Hu Yuefei tactfully bowed and said, "I'll take my leave, disciple." Then he turned and left.

Zhao Jinghua picked up the bamboo slips again. His tone seemed nonchalant, but he was actually careful. "I can intervene in the affairs of the Jiao family, or I can leave it to future emperors to deal with. After all, the Jiao family has now moved to Yuwen State, which is not within the territory of Zhao State. But you also know that I intend to recover Yuwen State." At this point, Zhao Jinghua chuckled and shook his head, saying no more.

Seeing this, Yuwen Songyue frowned slightly and said anxiously, "Just tell me."

Zhao Jinghua smiled and looked at Yuwen Songyue. "There are quite a few cities in Zhao State. If we add the eighteen cities of Yuwen State, it is inevitable that there will be omissions or omissions in each city."

Yuwen Songyue sighed after hearing this, "I understand what you mean. You just want to send a large army to the border, so that Yuwen Huajin will panic and finally surrender?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and said in a very serious tone, "That's right, but I don't trust your uncles and brothers. If you become emperor, it is feasible to establish diplomatic relations. There is no need to send a large army to invade the border and waste people's money and labor."

Yuwen Songyue thought carefully for a moment after hearing this and said, "Just tell me what the conditions are."

Zhao Jinghua lowered his eyes, chuckled, and put down the bamboo slips in his hand. "I want you and your descendants to only marry one person, not to take concubines, and not to remarry. If you violate this, Zhao State will launch a massive attack." At this point, Zhao Jinghua tilted his head and coughed twice, and after a while, he spoke again.

"If there is only one daughter, she will also be the next king. But I think you should understand, brother, when the imperial power is within reach, everyone will yearn for that position. It is not easy to make a man willing to stay in the harem, unless there is someone you absolutely trust by your side, or there are thundering measures like the Liu Kingdom, so that the heirs, regardless of gender, can succeed to the throne."

Yuwen Songyue frowned slightly but pretended to laugh casually, "I understand this. Don't worry, if I, Yuwen Songyue, have a daughter, she will definitely not lose to any man, but aren't you afraid that I will rebel like Yuwen Huajin?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head and said firmly, "I trust your character, brother, and I also trust your descendants."

After hearing this, Yuwen Songyue's brows gradually relaxed, and after a moment he nodded, "Okay! Don't worry, just because you call me brother, I will definitely not let you down." At this point, Yuwen Songyue sighed and looked up at Zhao Jinghua with a serious expression, "So you are indeed the reincarnation of Emperor Hongyu, right?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled but did not answer, which was considered as a tacit agreement. "Do you want me to get rid of the Jiao family first, or help you enter the imperial city first?"

Yuwen Songyue sighed heavily. "How are you going to help me get into the imperial city? Rely on these secret guards?"

Zhao Jinghua placed the bamboo slips on the table and slowly stood up. "I have my own way. You will know after the Zhao Kingdom sacrificial ceremony."
