Chapter 442 Sweet Talk
I thought this power struggle between the two would last for a long time.
But I didn't expect it.
Ping Anhou withdrew on his own.
"Your Majesty, the Tianyuan Festival is a big event. In order to better demonstrate my great power, I thought of going there myself. After all, I look very fierce."
"Hahaha, but I didn't expect that it turns out that Your Majesty already has someone he likes in his heart, and he is Jiuyanhou, so I don't have anything to worry about. Jiuyanhou is famous, and how many of the scattered people in the world dare to follow him loudly? Jiuyanhou spoke loudly."
He smiled as he spoke, then walked to Jiuyanhou, faced Ji Lingjun and said loudly, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Jiuyanhou is here."
His hearty laughter echoed in the magnificent main hall of Hanyuan Hall, but there was no other sound except that.
Marquis Ping An's words confused everyone present. They never expected that Marquis Ping An would give up at this time.
The same is true for Ji Lingjun. Even those who are qualified to go to court in the distant sect's mansion also seem to have expressions of being caught off guard at this moment.
Zuo Daoqi was a knighted official. He was neither big nor small. He was standing in the middle of the crowd. He looked very inconspicuous. There was also a bit of weirdness on his face.
Marquis Ping'an's giving up was too strange.
It's just that Zuo Daoqi wouldn't say much about this kind of thing, nor was he qualified to say much. He stood in the main hall, like many ministers, quietly waiting for the Zhengming Emperor Ji Lingjun to make a decision.
finally.
After the commotion, the hall returned to calm.
Ji Lingjun's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell the little emperor's true thoughts from his eyes.
"Ping'an Hou is the pillar of the real country, but he has such an awakening. I have Ping'an Hou in Jin Dynasty, and I am unhappy!"
Ji Lingjun said loudly, and then cast his eyes on Jiuyanhou, "All that will be done by Jiuyanhou."
Jiuyanhou held the wat in both hands and bent down, "I accept the decree!"
Everything seems to be so logical.
On the way down, Dodge left and walked out.
But he heard a voice suddenly coming from behind him, "Master Zuo, stay here."
Zuo Daoqi's heart moved. He had just heard this voice before, "I've met the Marquis."
The Marquis of Jiuyan looked at Zuo Daoqi with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said softly, "Master Zuo, there is no need to be polite. I wonder if Master Zuo has anything to do tonight. I would like to invite Master Zuo to a meeting with the Heavenly Prison."
Zuo Daoqi's face showed surprise, and he heard Jiu Yanhou say, "About the route."
When heading to Huzhou to participate in the Tianyuan Festival, the marching route is naturally the top priority. It must be safe and worry-free without missing the purpose of this time.
The Tianyuan Festival is a grand event created by the current emperor to show the majesty of the Jin Dynasty. The majesty of the Jin Dynasty must be displayed. This kind of background not only refers to the Tianyuan Festival, but also this kind of display from the beginning of leaving Beijing. It has already begun.
Zuo Daoqi nodded. Seeing that he agreed, Jiuyan Hou walked out.
Judging from his expression, there must be many people going to Qin Tian Prison at night.
——
night.
Jiuyanhou sat in the first seat. In addition to Zuo Daoqi, there were also Ji Zhengqian and Zhang Jiuling.
When I met Jiuyan Hou in Hanyuan Hall before, he was too mediocre. Compared to the aggressive momentum shown in his words, few people paid attention to him.
Even if he saw Jiu Yanhou again, Zuo Daoqi didn't think he was very dazzling.
It was only as he continued to climb up the towering Qin Tian Prison Star-Zhaing Tower, through the thin clouds and mist, that Zuo Daoqi felt the magnanimity of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi coming from Jiu Yanhou.
At least in the Star Reaching Tower in front of him, no one among the Jin Tianjiao who climbed up with him dared to look down upon him.
At this moment, there were only four of them on the huge Star-Zhaing Tower.
Jiuyanhou stood up slowly, looked at the clouds and mist on the towering Cloud Star Picking Tower, glanced at the three figures standing behind him casually, and burst into laughter.
"Why are you all so nervous? No one says anything? Show your magnanimity as a genius of the Jin Dynasty. Look at the clouds. Does it feel like it's cold at high places?"
Zhang Jiuling was as calm and calm as usual and did not speak.
Zuo Daoqi smiled and said nothing.
Only Ji Zhengqian said with an unruly smile, "Jiu Yanhou said exactly what he said."
Just as arrogant as he used to be.
Perhaps Jiu Yanhou liked this style, so he turned around and smiled at Ji Zhenggan.
"What do you think of the Tianyuan Festival organized by Prime Minister Zhang?"
There was no emotion in his eyes, and it was hard to tell what he meant.
Faced with this kind of question, Ji Zhengqian spoke decisively, "Of course it is to show my majesty in the Jin Dynasty and to shock the young people in the world of martial arts and cultivation."
Jiuyanhou said nothing and looked at Zhang Jiuling and Zuo Daoqi.
Zhang Jiuling's face was expressionless. Perhaps his mature face made the 'young' Jiu Yanhou find it boring, so he focused his attention mainly on Zuo Daoqi.
Facing his sharp eyes, Zuo Dodge finally spoke.
"Zuo was impressed by Prime Minister Zhang's plan, and the depth of his thinking was astonishing."
"Oh? Tell me, why are you thinking so deeply?"
Zuo Daoqi smiled and said some things that he had thought of before.
"Maybe... it's to re-integrate the world's forces and divide the territory."
Jiuyanhou was stunned, "Divide the territory?"
Then a faint smile appeared on his face, "They all say you are very smart. I have seen some clever tricks today."
Ji Zhengqian may be too crazy, or maybe his mind is all about force. He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, and finally asked, "What the hell is territorial division? Today, the whole world is my land."
Jiuyan Hou smiled and took a few steps forward, "Zhang Xiang's wonderful move is unparalleled in the world and makes people admire it. As Zuo Daoqi said, its real purpose is not as simple as you think on the surface. "
"You are all participants in the Tianyuan Festival. You can stand out from the imperial court. How do you feel about your opponents?"
Ji Zhengqian looked arrogant and said, "A native chicken and a tile dog."
Jiu Yanhou did not look at Ji Zhengqian, and was completely speechless towards him, focusing on the other two people.
Zhang Jiuling seemed to have some realization, and finally said, "I seem to understand what the Marquis means. The richer the rewards of the Tianyuan Festival, the more valuable the participants will be, and it will also make those sects in the world of martial arts and cultivation more outstanding." They are yearning for each other more and more, and this yearning will inevitably lead to conflicts..."
Zuo Daoqi interfaced, "More than that, the conflict will cause chaos and also attract the intervention of those big forces, but if the rewards from the Tianyuan Festival are exciting enough, then...
If there are two hostile forces, and one of them has a world-famous genius, what will the other force do? "
Ji Zhengqian finally had a look of realization on his face, "Can you kill people?!"
Zuo Daoqi shook his head, "Killing is just the lowest method. Assassination is not that easy to do. In addition to killing, there are many other ways, such as being valued by a larger force and directly taking over the entire sect?"
For a genius, joining a sect is not too difficult in the world of cultivation.
Marquis Jiuyan smiled with satisfaction, "Master Zuo is really smart. It took me nearly a year to see the deeper purpose of Prime Minister Zhang. It seems that Master Zuo has already figured it out?"
Zuo Daoqi smiled modestly and said, "I just thought too much. After all, I am sharing the worries for His Majesty."
"Hahaha, what a person to share your Majesty's worries." Jiu Yanhou smiled with a strange expression on his face.
The deeper purpose of the Tianyuan Festival at this moment was revealed by Zuo Daoqi.
Geniuses are just geniuses. Geniuses who grow up are strong. When all the geniuses in the world are flocking to the Tianyuan Festival, how many geniuses are hidden in the Central Plains?
Moreover, in the long run, small sects are destined to be unable to retain geniuses, and large sects will surely compete for geniuses. The practice world in the Central Plains is destined to fall into some kind of chaos. In order to compete for geniuses, large sects are destined to desire a larger territory. , the base will be larger, and there will be more opportunities to meet geniuses.
Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly, "No wonder the imperial court's rewards for the Tianyuan Festival are so shocking."
Jiuyan Hou smiled, looked at Zuo Daoqi and said, "Knowing such a deep level, you still want to come?"
He is different from Ji Zhengqian and Zhang Jiuling. The other two are both from the Zongren Mansion.
Zuo Daoqi looked confident and just looked at Jiu Yanhou, "I just want to understand it so I can know why I want to be the best in the world."
This was probably a very arrogant statement, but Zuo Daoqi said it with determination and sincerity, just like his fairy-like face, making people trustworthy.
Jiu Yanhou just smiled and looked at Zuo Daoqi with a look of surprise.
Just now, when Zuo Daoqi was talking, the smile and confidence he showed made an idea flash in his mind.
What kind of combat power will such a person display after breaking through to the third level? Will it be...my opponent?
Even though he had already reached the Great Heavenly Level, he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that perhaps the confident young man in front of him would become an opponent who could fight him after becoming a third-grade man.
Zhang Jiuling's face was expressionless, and Ji Zhengqian had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with Zuo Daoqi's words, but for some unknown reason, he did not speak.
"Very good." Jiuyan Hou praised, "It will be difficult to know what you want in the future, and it will be even more difficult to be confident in getting what you want."
As if he felt that Ji Zhengqian and Zhang Jiuling were ignored, he turned his eyes and glanced at Zhang Jiuling and Ji Zhengqian, "I hope you can win the top three for me."
At this time, it was not the time to be humble. The three of them did not look at each other and almost said in unison, "I'm just trying my best."
No one will show so-called humility at this time, and there is no so-called hiding of clumsiness.
Jiuyanhou looked at the three people with different expressions, but they were all in high spirits.
They are all proud people.
Jiuyanhou took a step forward, pointed a finger, and then the mist in the void receded, and the clouds turned into mountains and rivers in the sky, among which there were marked locations. "Okay, after all the small talk, let's start discussing what we will call you today." That’s why you came.”
"Let's go to Huzhou. Although we haven't set off yet, we have already attracted the attention of the world. Too many people in the world are staring at us. Those so-called geniuses in the world have all shown their strength. As for me, Da Jin, except Zuo Dodge was in the Southeast before, and you two didn’t seem to be well known.”
Zuo Dodge looked surprised.
Canvassing votes and fans.
Perform all the way and build support.
I don't need to. After all, my fans are almost all over Jin Dynasty. Ji Zhengqian and Zhang Jiuling don't seem to be very famous. After all, they were both in the army before.
Hou Jiuyan pointed to the red circles painted in the mist, "These are the numerous evil forces near Huzhou. There are people from the Jianghu and evil sects. You can choose one."
This has nothing to do with Zuo Daoqi. After all, this is obviously to build momentum for Zhang Jiuling and Ji Zhengqian.
Zuo Daoqi then stood aside silently and allowed the two protagonists to choose.
But his mood became a little heavier.
Zuo Daoqi had always felt that he was a selfish person, but the Tianyuan Festival gave him a different meaning. After being confirmed by Jiu Yanhou, Zuo Daoqi could no longer act too selfishly.
There is so much at stake in winning or losing. How many corpses will be buried under the glamorous Tianyuan Stage?
Zuo Daoqi thought silently in his heart. He originally did not intend to use all his strength, such as retaining some things in it, but now, he wants to change his mind.
Perhaps, he should show his crushing victory and let the world see the true genius of the imperial court.
——
When he returned to the palace, Zuo Daoqi saw Ji Lingshu unexpectedly.
Xu Rongrong followed behind her, looking at Zuo Daoqi with a smile on her face.
"I heard that my uncle went to my sister's poetry party yesterday? He even composed a few poems on the spot. It's really enviable. My uncle already loves my sister so much before we get married."
Zuo Daoqi looked strange, why was there such a strong smell of vinegar in his tone.
He walked up to the two of them, reached out and poked her cheek, "Lingshu is envious?"
Ji Lingshu took a step back. This step was very interesting, as it seemed to be the shyness of a little daughter, but her face was calm, "Uncle is getting more and more presumptuous now. It would be bad if my sister sees it."
"You know, my uncle's song "Die Lian Hua" yesterday was very loud in the capital. I heard it even in the palace. I think my eldest mother must also know about it."
Ji Lingshu's tone was soft, but the words conveyed in her tone made Zuo Daoqi's heart tighten.
Zuo Daoqi laughed and continued to move forward shamelessly, wanting to hug Ji Lingshu.
She dodged it easily.
Zuo Daoqi had no choice but to stop, so he looked at Ji Lingshu and said softly, "If Lingshu likes it, I can also write poems for Lingshu."
"Uncle is still the same as before..." Ji Lingshu smiled slightly, and then lowered his voice and said in Zuo Daoqi's ear, "Funny words."
"Whatever flattery I say, I obviously mean it from my heart."
Zuo Daoqi corrected him, "No one in the world knows that I, Zuo Daoqi, am an honest young gentleman. You are my little sweetheart. How can you taint my innocence!"
You are honest and reliable on the outside, but on the inside...
Ji Lingshu thought to herself, but felt that this kind of argument would make Zuo Daoqi more aggressive, which was not in line with her current personality.
Then Zuo Daoqi reached out his hand again and pinched her little face.
The girl's face became more delicate, and her hand seemed to feel much better than before.
Taking advantage, Zuo Daoqi said quickly, "Actually, I wrote a poem for Lingshu a long time ago, so I'll read it to you."
