Chapter 40: Old Friends
At this moment, except Jiang Cheng, there were only Zhao Yin, Yin Wei and the old eunuch. Jiang Cheng's previous arrogance made both the old eunuch and Yin Wei think that Jiang Cheng was not ready to enter the court as an official, but in the end Jiang Cheng agreed, which surprised the two.
However, Zhao Yin was not surprised too much, as if he had known Jiang Cheng’s choice for a long time.
After all, the Great Kun King Capital is his home court, and the power of Mantian Qiyun was dispatched by Zhao Yin, just like Jiang Cheng could mobilize the power of the formation. However, compared with the power of the formation, the power of Mantian Qiyun was much more terrifying. When Jiang Cheng mobilized the power of the formation into himself, he could entangle Qianlong in the Golden Dan Realm. In this capital, even if a powerful man from the Cave Void Realm broke in, he could easily kill him, and even compete with the power of the Kongming Realm powerhouse at a higher level. This is the terrifying thing of the Lord of the Yun Dynasty.
It is also because of this Nascent Soul. If it weren't for the officialdom, most powerful people in the Nascent Soul realm rarely come to places like the King Capital, because once they step into the King Capital, they will be free from life and death. Even if Jiang Cheng is proficient in the formation, he cannot even establish Jiang Cheng's formation in this King Capital.
"I guess Jiang Qing has something to ask for, right?" Zhao Yin lowered his head, looked at Jiang Cheng, and said with great interest.
"Natural." Jiang Cheng nodded. On the Dakun Dynasty and even the entire continent, the powerful Nascent Soul was qualified to provide conditions with others wherever they went, just like they were the main scallop clan before.
"Oh?" Zhao Yin looked at Jiang Cheng, without asking, but just signaled Jiang Cheng to say.
"First, Jiang wanted to read the royal collections of classics, and asked what Tianyuan Sect didn't have." Jiang Cheng said calmly.
"Accurate." Zhao Yin nodded slightly. This matter was not a matter for him. With Jiang Cheng's current strength, there was no problem with this requirement.
"Second, do things for the emperor and the emperor, obey orders and not be controlled by others." Jiang Cheng looked at Zhao Yin.
Zhao Yin looked at Jiang Cheng with great interest, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "Accurate, does Jiang Qing have other requirements?"
"The last one, I want her!" Jiang Cheng pointed at Yin Wei and said.
"Oh?" Zhao Yin leaned on the dragon throne and looked at Jiang Cheng with a squinted eyes. Jiang Cheng wanted power and money, and Zhao Yin could agree at once. It is said that Jiang Cheng just wanted a woman, which is the most easy thing, but Yin Wei prepared for her future heirs. She has excellent talent. Once she is out of her mind and oath, she may immediately break through to the Nascent Soul realm. If she fails to break through the bottleneck, the prince must have his own strength around her. Jiang Cheng wants Yin Wei, but she touches Zhao Yin's bottom line.
"Jiang Cheng, don't be arrogant!" Yin Wei's eyes flashed with anxiety and shouted sternly!
No one knows Zhao Yin's horror better than her.
"Yes!" Zhao Yin waved his hand, stopped Yin Wei's words, sat up, and looked at Jiang Cheng deeply, saying, "I can agree to you to untie Yin Wei's swearing, but you and I, Da Kun, have not made any contributions, so I can't give her to you. If you want Yin Wei, exchange the merits!"
Jiang Cheng looked directly at Cho In without much fear, nodded and said, "It's reasonable."
The heart oath is a difficult problem. Jiang Cheng found records of the heart oath in the Blood Evil Palace and knew how to use it. But the problem is that the contract of the heart oath connects the mind of the swearer. Once it is forcibly destroyed, it is almost fatal to the swearer. Even if it is Jiang Cheng, he cannot find a way to lift the heart oath without hurting the swearer. He can only expect that Zhao Yin can automatically lift the heart oath as the object of the oath.
"Since that's the case..." Zhao Yin nodded with a smile, leaned on the dragon chaise, waved: "Then Jiang Qing, let's retreat for the time being. Liu Song will help you arrange a mansion. Tomorrow, the morning court will officially enthrone Jiang Qing! If you are interested, you can also ask Liu Song to take you to the Sutra Hall to take a look. If you have any books you like, you can take them back to the mansion to check."
"Thank you, I'm going to leave!" Jiang Cheng bowed and nodded, and then went straight out of the Qiankun Palace.
After a while, the old eunuch Liu Song also came out and bowed slightly to Jiang Cheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, should you go back to the mansion first or..."
"Let's go to the Sutra Hall first. I heard that the royal palace has a library that is far more than the Tianyuan Sect's books. I happened to see it today!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang comes with the old slave." Liu Song nodded and took Jiang Cheng straight to the other side of the palace.
In Qiankun Palace, Zhao Yin watched Jiang Cheng leave, suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think?"
It seemed to be asking Yin Wei, because there was only Yin Wei in the hall except him, but Yin Wei didn't speak. She knew that this was not asking herself.
ripples arose in the air opposite Yin Wei, and a figure walked out of the ripples, but neither Zhao Yin nor Yin Wei looked surprised.
"It's okay for everyone, but if he wants Yin Wei..." The visitor frowned and shook his head.
"In theory, this person has a peerless talent. In just a few decades, he has gone from a foundation-building monk to a Nascent Soul monk. His future achievements are limitless. If a woman can be used to tie him up, even if he likes the concubine in the Gu Palace, he will not refuse, just..." Zhao Yin shook his head.
"Yin Wei is equally important." The visitor nodded and said.
"It's not only that." Zhao Yin looked at the direction where Jiang Cheng left and sighed: "This boy... his mind is unpredictable. Before, he used his luck to look at it, but he didn't know the depth."
"Your Majesty can't see through it?" The visitor said in surprise.
Zhao Yin shook his head but did not answer.
The visitor frowned slightly: "Why did the Lord use him?"
"How can we abandon talents just because we can't see through it?" Zhao Yin shook his head and smiled, "When this man was in Tianyuan Sect, he was proficient in numerology, formations, weapon refining, alchemy and even medical skills. He also made contributions to our Dakun. Later, he offended Brother Wang and fled and went abroad. He once served in Dakang and led his army to defeat the strong army of Daxia with his weak forces. He is a rare talent. Now I want to take that last step and unify the generals of the world. However, there are many constraints in the court, and the three generals have their own ideas. If this person is not activated, would I still have to go to the front line and kill the enemy?"
"Minist is incompetent! He has not been able to share his worries for the emperor!" The visitor bowed and said.
"This is a state affairs. You have a specialized career. Just do your own things well. During this period, you should observe this person secretly, but don't ask Jingdong to him!" Zhao Yin shook his head and smiled.
"My memory, obey the order!" The visitor bowed and his figure flashed. ripples appeared in the air again, and the other party's figure disappeared into the hall.
"Yin Wei, would you like to follow him?" Zhao Yin suddenly asked with a smile as he watched the visitor disappear.
"The last general's order is the king's, and everything is up to the king's arrangements." Yin Wei said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yin shook his head with a smile: "You go down too."
"Yes." Yin Wei bowed and turned around and left, and the silence returned to the Qiankun Palace.
...
The Sutra Hall is actually an open building in the Dakun Palace. There are many books in it, and court officials can read them based on their achievements. Of course, what Jiang Cheng wants is not these books that everyone can see. What he wants is books that cannot be found in Tianyuan Sect.
Although he has obtained the inheritance of the underwater ruins, it is only one after all. The Great Kun Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Nirvana Age. From weak to strong step by step, there must be some collections. Jiang Cheng's goal is these things. There are not many records about the Dark Age.
"There is a ban on the third floor. If you have to be recognized by the emperor, you cannot enter. Lord Jiang can enter with this token. I will not be broken. Do not forget to go to the morning court tomorrow." Liu Song handed a golden dragon-shaped token to Jiang Cheng and bowed.
"My father-in-law is a middle-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse. His cultivation is far above Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng dare not accept this gift!" Jiang Cheng turned sideways, reached out to support Liu Song, and said with a smile.
"There are rules in the palace in the palace." Liu Song stood up with the flow and did not polite anymore. The rules were done, and it was his business that Jiang Cheng would not accept.
"Thank you for your advice. I will be on time tomorrow." Jiang Cheng smiled and took the token, but he secretly sighed in his heart that the rules in the palace were so strict.
"I still have to serve you, so I won't stay here for a long time. I'll say goodbye." Liu Song said hello and turned around and left.
"Jiang Cheng?" A slightly surprised voice sounded not far behind Jiang Cheng after Liu Song left.
"Brother Qin, I haven't seen each other for many years." Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Qin Song who was coming towards him, and smiled. He had discovered Qin Song before, but he did not recognize each other.
"You are not..." Qin Song came forward with some disbelief and looked up and down. Jiang Cheng was expelled from Tianyuan Sect and wanted things in the whole world caused considerable turmoil in Tianyuan Sect. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng appeared in the Dakun Palace. Looking at Liu Song's attitude just now, although he had not received any news, Qin Song knew that the incident that happened back then must have been exposed.
"With the help of noble people, they can be rehabilitated." Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and did not explain much. He entered Tianyuan Sect together, Qin Song joined the Confucian and Taoist Academy, and Jiang Cheng entered the Mathematical Art Academy. After that, the relationship between the two became much weaker. Later, Jiang Cheng was either in seclusion or on a mission. Later, when something happened to Jiang Cheng, the relationship was naturally completely cut off. Now when we see each other again, the old friend is still the same, but the friendship in the past has become much weaker.
"Now you are entering the court?" Qin Song looked at Jiang Cheng, looked up and down and shook his head, "I heard that you had accumulated a lot of strength and even reached the foundation building realm. Now it is even more difficult to see the depth. I am afraid that you have reached the level of the Golden Pill? Is that amazing."
Jiang Cheng did not deny that with Qin Song's current sixth level of foundation building cultivation, as long as Jiang Cheng does not deliberately reveal it, let alone him, even if he is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, he will not be able to see Jiang Cheng's depth.
"Brother Jiang, do you know that Bai Zhirou, the head of your Mathematical Academy, is now in this royal capital?" After chatting for a while, the two gradually regained the feeling of an old friend in the past. Qin Song couldn't help but approach Jiang Cheng and whispered.
"Oh?" Jiang Cheng looked at Qin Song and raised his eyebrows.
"She is now a big figure in the royal capital. Her ice method can be frozen for ten miles. Although she is only in the early stage of the Golden Pill, even some seniors in the middle stage of the Golden Pill may not be able to gain much advantage in front of her. She is even the Imperial Heaven Supervision and the Armary Sphere Prison, ranking in the fifth grade. Among our Tianyuan Sect generation, Senior Sister Bai is the top figure!" Qin Song said with a smile.
"What about you?" Jiang Cheng looked at Qin Song and smiled: "The cultivation level of the sixth level of foundation building is also good among this class of disciples."
"Hey, what's the turn to get on me!" Qin Song shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You don't know that since you had an accident, two monsters have emerged from my Tianyuan Sect!"
"Oh?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised: "One should be Shen Qingshu, right?"
Shen Qingshu's swordsmanship was amazed by the outer courtyard. After entering Tianyuan Sect, he joined the Jiange. After that, there was no news. Jiang Cheng was busy with his own affairs. The friends of that generation each developed their own, but Jiang Cheng didn't pay attention.
"Oh, since Shen Qingshu entered the Sword Pavilion, there has been no news, as if he had disappeared. It was about ten years after you left. At that time, I had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and thought I could show off in the sect. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingshu suddenly tapped his sword and took on a mission to chase a new evil cultivator who had just entered the Golden Pill with the peak of foundation establishment cultivation. He chased from Wujun to a small country in the Western Regions. One person and one sword, and cut the evil cultivator under the sword. Now he has broken through to the Golden Pill realm. Unfortunately, this person is too arrogant and has obtained a free job. Although he is a sixth-grade body, he has nothing to do all day long, and he just stumbles on the sword."
Qin Song said this and sighed a little. When he was in Tianyuan Sect, he thought that the Jindan realm was a big shot, but after he arrived at the capital, he realized that the Jindan realm was actually not valuable. A small guard in the palace was the Jindan realm, and there were even more big bosses in the court. Although the Qin family had some status, Qin Song also realized after entering the official career that although he was a third-rank official, his status in the capital where the Jindan was everywhere was not high. He was as unsociable as Shen Qingshu, even if his talent was good, he was just a lie in the eyes of those big shots.
"Who is the other one?" Jiang Cheng was not surprised by Shen Qingshu's affairs. Shen Qingshu's talent and acquired efforts, it was not difficult to achieve something.
"The other one is also from your Mathematical Art Academy." Qin Song said a little enviously: "It's the senior sister Yue Shan. After you left, you didn't know what crazy you had. Your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. After breaking through to the Jindan realm three years ago, he followed Senior Sister Bai to the capital. Because of the care of Senior Sister Bai, he is now a sixth-grade person, but he serves as the captain of the city guard and is responsible for the safety of Chaoyangmen. His sword cultivation is not at all under Shen Qingshu."
"Awesome!" Jiang Cheng's mood was a little complicated. He naturally knew why Yue Shan made such a rapid progress. Bai Zhirou had told Jiang Cheng a little, but now that Qin Song mentioned it, his heart was really complicated.
"Brother Jiang, you are..." Qin Song looked at Jiang Cheng and said in confusion.
"Come here to borrow some books." Jiang Cheng said casually.
"It's indeed your style, but today it won't work, you have to follow me." Qin Song pulled Jiang Cheng and walked out.
"Why?" Jiang Cheng frowned without moving.
"There is a banquet today. I will recommend a few people to you. Since your case has been revealed, I have chosen to join the officialdom again. Knowing these people will be helpful to your future career!" Qin Song looked at Jiang Cheng and laughed in a low voice: "Sister Bai will come too~"
