Under the illumination of the lamplight, he continuously flipped through the Nascent Soul level treasures in his hand, clicking his tongue in appreciation.
"The Three Generals of the Three Generals Camp truly are talents."
"Those who understand the times are indeed the talents!"
Ning Zhuo then took out another piece of treasure.
"I have quite a broad connection with Lord Zhang Zhongyi, and I'm about to seek his help to treat my friend."
"I also ask that you, Lord, could show some leniency towards the Red Flower Camp."
Zhao Xi looked deeply at Ning Zhuo, "Young man, as a foreigner from Southern Bean Country, it's not good for you to interfere casually in these matters."
"The troubles of General Mu Lan are much greater than you imagine."
Ning Zhuo smiled, "I understand."
As he spoke, he took out another piece of Nascent Soul level treasure and placed it on the table, "Big troubles naturally require more of your effort, Lord. Another piece of treasure is only reasonable!"
Zhao Xi's eyes widened, deeply shaken by Ning Zhuo's display of wealth.
"The Ning Family of Fire Persimmon Immortal City must be a prominent family!"
"Why did they merely pass through Liangzhu Country in the past, instead of settling down and migrating to the Southern Bean Country?"
"Ah..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi felt full of regret.
"How many more treasures does this young man carry on him? Since he likes to meddle..." This greedy desire had just arisen when it dissolved away.
Life Hanging Thread!
Buddha Heart Demon Seal!
On the surface, Ning Zhuo maintained a friendly and benevolent smile, all the while keeping these two techniques at the ready.
"Lord Zhao, I only assisted the Red Flower Camp to curry favor with Zhang Zhongyi."
"If possible, I would also request a small convenience from Lord Zhao."
"I shall not trouble you much, I only need some cooperation..."
Zhao Xi, subtly influenced, nodded immediately after hearing Ning Zhuo's detailed request, "Why wouldn't I like you, young man? Relax, I have agreed."
Ning Zhuo once again stated that, once the matter was settled, there would be a small token of gratitude.
Zhao Xi nodded repeatedly, "The Ning Family is profoundly learned, and such upbringing truly deserves my admiration."
The next day.
When distributing military supplies, the Red Flower Camp was conspicuously late in receiving theirs.
General Mu Lan became furiously upset, but the cultivator responsible for supplies was prepared and used a perfect excuse to intentionally delay the distribution.
Upon learning of this, Zhang Zhongyi sighed inwardly, knowing that it was Zhao Xi, that villain, who was undermining him.
Just then, Ning Zhuo came to visit. Seeing Zhang Zhongyi's furrowed brows, he inquired about the matter.
After learning about it, Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and told Zhang Zhongyi that previously, he had represented the Three Generals Camp and brought gifts that greatly pleased Zhao Xi. Today, he might as well make another visit, allow the imperial envoy to relent first, and personally provide the funding.
Moments later, Ning Zhuo returned.
Zhang Zhongyi had changed his former attitude and took hold of Ning Zhuo's arm, expressing his deep gratitude.
"Mu Lan is as stubborn as her father. If I were to intervene, she would resent me, possibly creating a gap later. It's indeed a dilemma, but fortunate that young friend Ning Zhuo acted righteously."
Ning Zhuo then said, "I also have my own motives, Lord Zhang. I want to help my friend."
"No problem at all!" Zhang Zhongyi waved his hand, "This time, the consultation fee is totally waived."
Ning Zhuo then tapped on his Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, releasing Sun Lingtong.
At that moment, Sun Lingtong's forearms were also petrified.
He, however, was not in a hurry and still chuckled, looking unworried.
Zhang Zhongyi said doubtfully, "To save this young child, we still need to summon an Earth Element Grandmaster. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Ning Zhuo bowed to Zhang Zhongyi, bending slightly, "Forgive me, Lord Zhang, I am the Earth Element Grandmaster."
Zhang Zhongyi was stunned, staring incredulously at the young man in white before him: "You?!"
Ning Zhuo straightened up, arms hanging at his sides, his face wearing a smile: "Genuine and guaranteed."
Sun Lingtong said, chuckling, "Hehehe! Little Zhuo, Doctor Zhang, please start quickly, I'm getting a bit impatient."
