Chapter 783: Gifted Mansion

Following the messenger disguised as a man, Lucius and the others left the West Market and went straight into another lane not far from the West Market.

The interior of this Li Fang is quite Western style, and many of the buildings inside look different from the East, especially the most striking thing is that there is a church similar to the Western Continent in the Li Fang, but from the architectural style, it is still a little different from the Western Church.

Walking in the middle, the woman who led Lucius and them whispered: "Your Highness Lucius, you can call me Wan'er, I am the personal attendant of the Holy Queen, if you have any needs to live here, you can tell me, and I will convey it to the Second Saint as soon as possible." ”

Lu Xius didn't speak, but Du Liniang then said: "That's really Miss Lao Wan'er, it seems that Miss Wan'er is not very old, but her cultivation seems to be very weak." ”

Wan'er turned her head to look at Lucius, and saw that the latter didn't mean to speak, so she smiled and said to Du Liniang: "Hehe, auntie, you're joking, Wan'er is just a subordinate, following the Holy Queen's side, gaining the trust and love of the Holy Queen, and passing on some fur to Wan'er." ”

Du Liniang continued: "Hehe, Miss Wan'er don't be modest, I can still see that Miss Wan'er should have a not weak cultivation, I'm afraid it's close to Xinzhai, right?"

Wan'er glanced at Lucius again, and found that the latter seemed to be attracted by the scenery in the fang, and didn't care about himself at all, it seemed like he had handed over all the right to speak to Du Liniang, and he didn't plan to communicate with Wan'er about anything?

Seeing Lucius like this, Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, knowing that she was entrusted by the Holy Empress to come to Lucius and the others this time, firstly, to arrange Lucius and the others in a convenient place for the second saint to monitor, and secondly, to be able to understand Lucius.

Before coming, Wan'er had collected some secret reports from the two saints, and she generally knew a little about Lucius's group. I know that in this group of people, it seems that Lucius has the final say, but in fact, everyone has the right to speak independently.

Especially Du Liniang, who is talking to him now, is an elder that everyone will respect, including Lucius, it can be said that Lucius asked Du Liniang to open his mouth to communicate with Wan'er, which can be regarded as pushing the problem out, or deliberately concealing his attitude.

And Du Liniang's cunning and cunning really made Wan'er feel very tricky, and Wan'er never even thought that someone would be so slippery.

It seems that Du Liniang will answer Wan'er for anything. But in fact, the initiative to speak has always been in Du Liniang's hands, or although Wan'er asked a lot of questions, she didn't get the answers she wanted, but was tricked out by Du Liniang a lot.

Wan'er knew that she was not the opponent of the other party, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and try her best to just introduce the situation in front of her, so as to avoid Du Liniang asking herself all kinds of questions.

Seeing that Wan'er was forced by herself, Du Liniang had begun to deliberately avoid herself, and she stopped asking questions now. just quietly followed Wan'er's side, like a listener, quietly listening to Wan'er introduce the square in front of her to everyone.

Pointing to the church not far away, Wan'er introduced to everyone: "The two saints know. You are from the West, and churches are very important places in the West, so you are specially arranged in this Li Fang, and the architectural style here is completely imitated from the Western Regions. I hope you can feel like you're coming home. ”

As soon as Wan'er's words fell, Christine couldn't help but mutter: "That's not a church at all, the architectural style here is clearly from the Sand Sea Empire." There are still a lot of differences with the West. ”

Hearing Christine's muttering, Wan'er was suddenly shocked in her heart, and then took Christine's words to heart, and planned to convey them to the second saint after she went back.

In fact, for most of the Tang people, or for the creatures in the East, they can't tell the difference between the West and the Sand Sea Empire at all, maybe in their eyes, the Sand Sea and the West Continent are in their west, so in their eyes, the two places are actually the same place.

But in fact, the Sand Sea Empire is very different from the Western Continent, because its own civilization is different, and you must know that the West is the place where the civilization of the Magic Heavenly Kingdom spreads and controls it.

And the Sand Sea Empire, just like the original Sanctuary, is just a native civilization, but it has also evolved into a very magnificent Cheng dΓΉ at the beginning, but the final result did not end well, and was finally punished by the plane, and was submerged by the yellow sand and disappeared into the entire plane.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, the Sand Sea Empire will receive the punishment of the plane rules because it has angered the plane, but in fact, those in the know know that the Sand Sea Empire is a locally derived civilization, which has been suppressed by many Eternal God Kingdoms in the West and the East, and finally sanctioned by the Eternal God Kingdom, and will turn into a sea of sand.

Lucius pointed to the ruined stone pillar not far away and said, "Hehe, these things look like you got them from the Sand Sea, right? It seems that the Tang Empire has never given up exploring the Sand Sea Empire? So have you gained anything?"

Hearing Lucius's inquiry, Wan'er didn't want to answer, but when she saw the confident smile on Lucius's face, the whole person couldn't help but be infected.

Somewhat uncontrollably, he sighed: "The Second Sage once sent a lot of people to explore that sand sea, but the result was only to dig up these broken stone pillars, and did not find the legendary empire. ”

Hearing this, Lucius nodded and said, "Well, this is normal, after all, that empire has been buried in the desert for many years, so it is very difficult to dig it out, not to mention that the inheritance of the Sand Sea Empire has always been sealed, and it is impossible for outsiders to open it." ”

As she was talking, Wan'er led Lucius and them to a mansion, although there were many Western Regions decorations in the entire Lifang, but the architectural style of the mansion in front of her was completely built in accordance with the oriental form, and almost all of them were built in the Tang Dynasty architectural style from the outside to the inside.

Wan'er pushed open the door of the mansion, led Lucius and them into the mansion, pointed to the deserted, but very clean courtyard, and said, "This is the accommodation arranged for you by the Second Sage." ”

Lu Xius stood in the courtyard and looked around, he didn't expect that the Second Sage of the Tang Empire would arrange such a big mansion for himself, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really big, I can't imagine that the Second Sage will actually arrange such a big mansion for us, can it be that such a big mansion is for us to live in?"

Seeing this, Wan'er smiled and said, "Hehe, that's nature, there are nearly twenty rooms inside and outside this mansion, I believe it should be enough for all of you to live." ”

"What, twenty rooms?" Caroline couldn't help but exclaim, "In this way, how much does it cost you to buy such a mansion?"

Wan'er smiled when she heard this: "Hehe, this mansion, after it was built, someone once spent a million taels of gold to buy it, but then it was rejected by the Holy Queen, and the Holy Queen said that this place is only responsible for special nobles to live in, and it will not be sold to the outside." ”

Such a terrible figure as "one million taels of gold" had almost no concept in the minds of Lucius and others, although before entering the East, Du Liniang had already explained to everyone that the currency in circulation in the East was gold, silver and copper, three precious metals.

But no one had ever seen a hundred taels of gold, so they didn't know what a million taels of gold was, and everyone was at a loss.

At this moment, Wan'er said with a smile: "Hehe, you don't have to feel confused, in fact, according to Datang's current living expenses, I'm afraid one million taels of gold is enough for ordinary people to live for several lifetimes." ”

Hearing this, Christine asked with some confusion: "If this is the case, then who can afford to buy this place with a million taels of gold? And according to your statement, if the Holy Queen is unwilling to sell, won't he lose a lot of money? ”

Wan'er replied with a smile when she heard this: "Hehe, there are some things that may not be able to be measured by those yellow and white things, and you must have seen Uncle Li, with Uncle Li's net worth, I'm afraid you can still do it if you want to come up with a million taels of gold." ”

Lucius took over and said: "Uncle Li is a successful businessman, and from the way he came, he could see that he was a very good businessman. ”

Wan'er also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Uncle Li is a natural businessman, and the Holy Queen once said that if Uncle Li is given enough time, I am afraid that most of the wealth in the world will be collected by him." ”

Saying that, Wan'er didn't say anything more, and said to Lucius: "Your Highness Lucius, you clean up and rest first, someone will bring you some items later, and the two saints will hold a banquet in the palace in the evening to entertain you, and I will come back to pick you up when the time comes." ”

With that, Wan'er said goodbye to Lucius and the others, and quickly left the mansion, walked towards the outside of the mansion, and soon disappeared into the long street outside the mansion.

Lucius looked around, looked at the antique mansion in front of him, and said with a smile to Du Liniang: "Hehe, auntie, it seems to save us a lot of trouble." ”

Christine felt a little uncomfortable, and reminded Lucius in a low voice: "Don't be happy too early, I haven't seen the monarchs of the Tang Empire now, and I don't know what their attitude is towards us, and arranging for us to live here is obviously to facilitate the monitoring of us." ”

Du Liniang then said: "It is necessary to monitor us, after all, we are from the other side of the plane, if we don't monitor our actions, I think the Tang Empire monarch intends to get rid of us all." ”

"Now, since they have specially arranged our accommodation, and they will send people to monitor us, it shows that they don't want to kill us directly, and may choose to trust us, I think tonight's night banquet will probably be an opportunity for us, maybe we can take the opportunity to gain the trust of the other party.
