Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1347

"that is!!!"

"But it's good that His Majesty Kaiqian went to the Alchemy Department. It saves us from having to run around looking for him! Convenient! Hahahaha!"

"..."

The open space outside Yingtianfu City was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere—the people didn't seem to be going somewhere to fight, but rather seemed to be out chatting and catching up.

Or you can say.

They never took Zhu Yunwen seriously at all.

What can a small emperor with little real power do, even if he controls some Imperial Guards? Besides, the Imperial Guards are responsible for many things, such as intelligence gathering, interrogation, etc. How can they compare to these people who have fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

Especially after hearing that Zhu Yunwen had taken the initiative to leave Yingtian Prefecture.

They neither ran away nor hid, but went to the Alchemy Department openly, their whereabouts were crystal clear—which made everyone feel that the matter was so simple it was outrageous.

None of them took it seriously.

He continued chatting: "Speaking of which, when this Alchemy Bureau was first established, they said that once the immortal pills were refined, we would get a share! But we've never received any, have we? Today is quite a coincidence, we can go to the Alchemy Bureau together!"

"Yeah! This Alchemy Department is all mysterious and shady. They go to great lengths to find Taoist methods and even have people thrown into the furnace to refine pills... They probably have quite a few elixirs!"

"An elixir!!"

Upon hearing those two words, not only Lan Yu and other adopted sons and trusted generals under the command of dukes and marquises, but also many of their soldiers couldn't help but have their eyes light up, mixed with a hint of greed, longing, and desire...

Like everyone else in this era.

They had no real understanding of this thing, so naturally they all thought it was something miraculous. Moreover, the investment required to refine this so-called "elixir" was enormous; only an emperor could afford it and consume it.

So for them, any opportunity to see or smell something is something to boast about.

The crowd was naturally excited.

Some high-ranking generals, upon hearing the dukes and marquises mention "a considerable amount of elixirs," felt an even stronger itch to get their hands on them. Some even unconsciously wondered, "Elixirs...if there really are so many...will this humble general also have a chance to get some?"

Of course, as soon as he said this, the speaker realized his slip of the tongue, his face changed, and he said in a panic, "Please forgive me, esteemed dukes and marquises! I spoke without thinking! Such a divine object should only be enjoyed by you dukes and marquises!"

Of course he wanted it, but it would be too presumptuous for them to openly covet such a high-level commodity as the elixir without being told by their superiors.

The noisy discussions here also quieted down considerably.

Unexpectedly.

Lan Yu just laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! Everyone wants good things, let alone something as good as elixir! It would be crazy not to want it. What's there to apologize for? In the past, whenever Lan Yu had a bite to eat, someone else would have a sip of soup! As long as there are enough elixir, who says there won't be a chance to get one?"

He couldn't have had hundreds of adopted sons out of thin air.

Following him, Lan Yu can get soup and benefits, which is the most important thing—this has always been Lan Yu's style.

Now that they're already prepared to turn hostile, and bandits are all about robbery, they naturally don't care about formalities anymore.

Upon hearing Lan Yu's words...

A brief silence fell over the crowd, followed by a thunderous roar of cheers and shouts of approval: "Bravo!! Bravo!!!"

"Really? We people are actually going to be able to eat such a sacred object as the elixir of immortality?"

"Hahahaha! Didn't Godfather say it himself? How could it be false?"
