Capítulo 2026: Chapter 2026: Reckless Actions
Due to his reckless behavior at the War Prince’s Mansion, he was taken advantage of, and Zhang Celestial Master was extorted for five hundred thousand taels of Silver. Lin Kong’s eyes flickered slightly, feeling sowhat guilty. He patted his body, pulled out a stack of silver notes, and said, “Disciple, Master still has so money on . It seems that from the madam’s words, there’s no money left in the mansion, you take it to manage the ergency!”
Zhang Celestial Master quickly said, “No, no, no, how can the disciple take your money? Master, you better keep it safe!”
Lin Kong glanced at the silver notes in his hand, nodded, and said, “You’re right, with so many people in the mansion, Master’s few hundred taels are but a drop in the ocean, won’t last a few days.”
Suddenly discovering the loss of five hundred thousand taels of Silver, Zhang Celestial Master’s heart ached imnsely; he said to Lin Kong, “Master, these days the disciple may not be able to accompany you to Purple Peak Mountain, let’s wait a few days!”
Seeing Zhang Celestial Master in low spirits, Lin Kong nodded and said, “Alright, Master hasn’t been to the Capital, it’s a good chance to wander around, see the sights, and experience upper-class life.”
“These few days, disciple won’t accompany Master.” Zhang Celestial Master expressed, his heart deeply wounded, needs a good period to heal before recovering.
Having lost five hundred thousand taels of Silver for no reason, Zhang Celestial Master was truly furious, but fearing to follow in the Pri Minister’s footsteps, he dared not go to the War Prince to cause trouble for Long Rui, rely half-dead lying in the room for several days.
On this day, finally feeling sowhat accepting, less suffocated, he struggled to rise, had breakfast, and gradually his complexion beca rosy. So, he changed clothes, tidied up, and went to find Lin Kong, preparing to go to Purple Peak Mountain to find the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.
Since the Thousand Year Striped Tiger hadn’t been found, the Emperor heard nothing but thunder and no rain, increasingly mistrusting him. He must quickly accomplish this mission, restore the Emperor’s trust, maybe then when the Emperor is happy, he’d reward so 10,000 taels of Gold, securing the living expenses for the rest of his life.
Lin Kong had been wandering endlessly around the Capital these days, also fell in love with the alluring lifestyle. After breakfast, just as he wanted to go to the gambling house, he bumped into Zhang Celestial Master.
Zhang Celestial Master: “Master, are you going out?”
Lin Kong: “Hmm, what’s up?”
Zhang Celestial Master: “Today, don’t wander around anymore, let’s focus on serious business.”
Lin Kong: “What’s wrong? Disciple’s mood improved?”
Losing five hundred thousand taels of Silver, such matter weighs heavily on anyone, Zhang Celestial Master just lay on the bed for a few days, his emotional endurance was quite strong, whereas Lady Zhang was different, since that day, she fell severely ill, still lying on the bed groaning!
Zhang Celestial Master awkwardly smiled and said, “The Silver has already entered the War Prince’s pocket. Even in anger, it can’t be retrieved, can’t win against him, let it be, let’s focus on the serious business; once this is accomplished, five hundred thousand taels of Silver will soon be earned back.”
Zhang Celestial Master knew he couldn’t win against Long Rui, might end up like the Pri Minister, that would be beyond bearing.
Lin Kong: “Alright, since the disciple thinks this way, let’s set off.”
After all, it was because of himself that the disciple lost five hundred thousand taels of Silver, Lin Kong always felt a sense of guilt, hence, he shelved the thought of going to the gambling house, prepared to go to Purple Peak Mountain to find the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, quickly earning back five hundred thousand taels of Silver for the disciple to make ands.
Purple Peak Mountain is located outside the city, with endless mountain peaks. Once inside, if lost, it might take several days to erge; so, the steward helped them prepare plenty of provisions and water, even if lost in the mountains, they’d have food, right?
