Chapter 162 Ho Ming's Upgrade
Next day.@@@@
Imperial Court.
"If there are no more grievances or other matters, today's morning court shall be dismissed."
The Emperor tried very hard to hold back his yawn as he spoke.
When he saw the Left Prime Minister, he frowned, as this usually meant a long, tiring debate.
He looked to the Right Prime Minister for help.
But this time, the Right Prime Minister looked down and didn't take his cue.
These two must have been in it together!
"What's your grievance, Left Prime Minister?"
The Left Prime Minister passed his memorial to the throne to the eunuch.
And the eunuch bowed and passed it to the Emperor.
"Absolute nonsense! I've been trying to help with the rebels and displaced peasants!"
The Emperor flew into a rage when he read what was in the memorial.
Even though what Zhang Ju Chan wrote was the truth, how could he say it directly to the Emperor!
"Your Majesty, it is life and death for the kingdom if you don't act now."
Zhang Ju Chan knelt down, and even the Right Prime Minister joined in.
The Emperor pointed at him and tried to lash out but stopped when he saw the whole court also joining in.
"So... This is how you want it to be, huh?
"I declare the state to be in emergency.
"The army shall move in and keep peace, and the funding shall come from all of your pay!"
The Emperor walked out angrily after making the edict.
"Long live Your Majesty," Zhang Ju Chan kowtowed and sighed.
He could only hope it was not too late.
If the Emperor didn't give in, he was ready to bash his head against the wall, using his death as the ultimate memorial.
...
Northern borders of Quan Dynasty.
Bei Dian Castle.
Tan Xiao Yao looked at the flickering oil lamp on his table.
His men had briefed him on what had happened to the outpost.
Cutting off supplies for his army.
This time, the letter was about their mission brief for each team.
Lin Fan looked at theirs, and it was to be the special force to infiltrate and create chaos.
Something that he had done before.
"Everyone get ready, and we move out the day after tomorrow," Qing Yang Zi ended the brief when everyone was clear on what they were supposed to do.
Lin Fan left with the team and led them to the supply stores.
They gasped as they saw how Lin Fan bought the pills in bulk.
Something they had never seen before.
"What are you guys waiting for? Better to be prepared. I'm done for now," Lin Fan said and waited for them to shop.
Lai Ming nudged his brother, signaling him to give him all the money he had.
But Lai Qing was as broke as he was.
Hu Tuo didn't buy much as he had the medicinal Dzi Beads.
With her saintly looks, Zhao Jia Rui attracted lots of disciples following behind her.
Some even gave her free pills.
The only one with such a following would be Hun Yen Kun and his fans.
Lin Fan shook his head and thought, simps are just all over the different worlds.
When Lin Fan looked over at Ho Ming, he saw that he was hesitating.
"What's the problem? I remember you have more money and contribution points than me."
"It's not the money and contribution points. I am thinking of trying to break through to Foundation Establishment Level."
Lin Fan patted him on the back and said, "Go for it. It will help us for the next mission too."
With Lin Fan's assurance, Ho Ming bought the pills he needed and quickly went back to the Sword Peak.
Lin Fan followed and stood beside Ho Ming, giving him confidence.
And so, the process started for Ho Ming, getting into the medicinal bath.
Ho Ming's body began heating up soon after.
The bathtub was soon covered with white mist.
Senior disciples and Lin Fan watched intently as the process went on.
Unlike Lin Fan, the process for Ho Ming went on for hours.
Right until the next day's dawn.
The mist slowly disappeared, and Ho Ming finally emerged from the bathtub.
Lin Fan could feel Ho Ming's aura had become stronger.
"Congrats on getting to Foundation Establishment Level." Lin Fan went up and patted him on his back.
The village boy had come a long way to get to this level.
