Chapter 361 Ten Thousand Wish Beads, the Royal Arsenal
On the dragon chair in the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Ji Zikong of the Great Zhou Dynasty was dressed in a dragon robe, looking majestic and unruly.
This emperor has been in power for more than a hundred years, and his age is at least one or two hundred years old. However, Ji Zikong looks very young, probably only in his twenties or thirties.
Only his eyes seemed to have gone through many vicissitudes of life, with an air of twilight.
Seeing that Shen Qing's whole body was unmoved, as if he had made a joke with Shen Qing, Ji Zikong suddenly calmed down his aura, and with his low and magnetic voice, he laughed and said: "Sure enough, he is really talented. ”
Shen Qing's attitude is more humble, his expression is more submissive, and he is even less afraid to act rashly.
If the Six Paths of Reincarnation Kung had not been used just now, he would have been defeated by that aura.
There was no way he could fight it.
Ji Zikong continued: "I already know most of what happened in the Jingluan Conference. According to the rules of the Jingluan Conference, your achievements should be rewarded! I ask you, do you have any other wishes in your heart?"
Shen Qing looked around at the people around him, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lan Gongliang on one side.
Lan Gongliang added: "This is an extra reward from His Majesty. If you want something, just say it directly. As long as it's not too much, Your Majesty will satisfy you."
Shen Qing fell into deep thought after hearing this. When he was in Yongzhou, he heard that the Ji family had a royal arsenal.
This arsenal was built by the Ji family with countless efforts after searching the world and collecting all the essence of martial arts in the world. It is the highest place that the world's martial arts masters dream of.
It is said that the martial arts hidden in the royal arsenal are all supreme skills.
Even the most inconspicuous book, once it is cultivated to the ultimate state, can erupt with majestic power that can overwhelm mountains and seas, destroy the world and destroy the world. It can easily wipe out a city and make the mountains and rivers turn pale.
All this is fascinating.
It's just that entering the royal arsenal is extremely demanding.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, only children of the Ji family and important officials are allowed to enter.
No one else is allowed.
Shen Qing thought about it for a while and then tried to say: "Your Majesty, when I was practicing martial arts, I made a great ambition. I hope that one day I can see the best martial arts in the world, climb to the top of martial arts, and achieve the great truth. If your Majesty allows it, I hope that I can A glimpse into the royal arsenal to fulfill a long-cherished wish.”
Hearing this, Ji Zikong laughed loudly, the sound shaking the roof: "I didn't expect you to be a martial arts idiot. I can help you! From today on, you can freely enter and leave the royal arsenal."
Shen Qing did not expect Ji Zikong to agree so readily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"In addition, in accordance with the rules of the Jingluan Society, I will give you another 10,000 Wish Power Beads to assist in your cultivation, and give you the position of Chief Southern Officer of the Military Horse Division. I hope you can protect the peace of the world and make new achievements!"
When Shen Qing heard this, his heart felt hot.
The Army and Horses Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into five divisions: east, west, south, north and center.
Yongzhou belongs to the Southern District.
Unexpectedly, now, in just a few years, he has climbed to this position.
This speed is simply outrageous.
The so-called carp leaping over the dragon's gate is nothing more than this.
No wonder those members of the aristocratic families were so keen on the Jingluan Society and wanted to gain results from it.
And ten thousand wish beads, in his current position, it would take a hundred years of salary to get this number.
It’s incredible to think about it.
Everything went so smoothly that he felt a little uncomfortable.
However, in the face of the hard facts, Shen Qing knew that he was not dreaming.
Shen Qing hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
"Get back on your feet." Emperor Ji Zikong of the Great Zhou Dynasty waved his hand and said: "From now on, you will work as an errand at the Military and Horse Department in Kyoto, assisting Lord Lan in handling various affairs."
"You can discuss the rest of the handover with Mr. Lan. He is your immediate superior and will definitely make arrangements for you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After seeing Ji Zikong immersed in handling the memorial, Lan Gongliang and Shen Qing consciously exited the imperial study.
Walking to the door of the royal study, Shen Qing seemed to be relieved and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now in the imperial study room, Ji Zikong's aura was too strong.
Even the slightest bit of exposure made him feel tremendous pressure, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
"Let's go." Lan Gongliang patted Shen Qing's shoulder and said, "What's the plan next?" Shen Qing never expected that the unprepossessing middle-aged man in front of him would become his immediate boss in the blink of an eye, and look like a It was as if he knew this from the beginning, winning people's hearts in advance and making them loyal.
Really wily.
He confessed his thoughts: "I plan to take up my post first, settle down in the capital, and then go back to Yongzhou to pick up my family."
Lan Gongliang nodded and said: "That's right. Things in office are quite simple. If you don't understand something, you can come to me at any time. It will take about three to five days for you to appoint the clerk. At that time, you can Just take the appointment and take office directly."
Shen Qing clasped his hands and said, "I understand, I understand."
After saying that, Lan Gongliang did not stay in the palace and left quickly with Shen Qing.
The two of them chatted all the way, and after Lan Gongliang explained some unspoken rules of Kyoto's officialdom, they parted ways at the palace gate.
When Lan Gongliang's back gradually disappeared from the end of his sight, Shen Qing lightly stamped his feet and paused for a moment on the palace door behind him.
Without thinking much, he walked straight into the busy streets of the capital.
The streets were bustling with vendors shouting one after another.
Children were playing and fighting, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and the tempting smell of freshly baked cakes.
The streets were full of fireworks.
There were a total of 72 blocks in Kyoto, and the streets in each block were spacious enough for two carriages to drive side by side.
Shen Qing wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, thinking to himself that he vaguely remembered that Wu Sheng had a secret base in Kyoto.
[Photographic Memory] skill was activated.
Soon, his memory was churning in his mind, and he soon remembered the specific location of the base.
Shen Qing shuttled through the bustling crowd and walked to a seemingly ordinary restaurant.
The restaurant was doing good business, and it was full of guests.
Shen Qing strode in, found the restaurant's head shopkeeper, and asked softly: "Do you have Yongzhou wine and food here?"
The shopkeeper, who was using an abacus, stopped and said: "We have Yongzhou donkey meat here, how much do you want, sir?"
"Three catties, six ounces and five cents."
The shopkeeper's eyes changed slightly when he heard this, and then he led him to the inner room calmly: "Sir, please come this way."
The light in the inner room was dim.
The light coming in from the window lattice shone on a familiar and slightly tired face.
It was Wu Sheng himself.
He had just come from Yongzhou, and his face was still tired and dusty, and he seemed to be worried.
At present, Shen Dongjia was transferred to the Jingluanhui, and he was in danger and his life or death was unknown.
There were many people in the city who were restless and wanted to get involved in the Shen family's industries again.
If Shen Dongjia died in the Jingluanhui, those people in Yongzhou would definitely pounce on them and bite them to pieces.
He is now tied to Shen Qing, and to be honest, his situation is not very good.
While he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Wu Sheng said irritably.
The shopkeeper standing at the door said: "Brother Wu, an acquaintance is here."
The acquaintances mentioned by the shopkeeper are some officials' children in the capital, who specialize in doing those shady businesses with him.
Wu Sheng immediately said with a serious expression: "Let him in."
"Yes."
With a creak.
The mottled wooden door was opened.
