Qi Tianhou was sitting in a large hall, his eyes closed, his fingers tapping the table beside him, a faint smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth, as if he was thinking about something.
In front of them, stood Mr. Shui Jing and a man in black robe.
"Master Hou, what happened yesterday is such a pity!" said the man in black robe.
"What a pity, Ling Feng, don't you think it's getting more and more interesting now?" Qi Tianhou stopped his fingers, opened his eyes and smiled.
"Interesting? This subordinate doesn't find anything interesting." Black-robed Lingfeng shook his head and said.
"Shui Jing, what do you think?" Qi Tianhou looked at Shui Jing aside and asked.
"I don't know what the Marquis means." Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and said.
"Unclear? Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Qianyou is very rational. It's harder to impress her than the so-called Bingshan Arrogant Girl. But in just a few years, she was actually made a little loose by Zhong Shan. This Zhong Shan is very good at men and women.
, but he is really an expert, and it is interesting to have this expert as his opponent." Qi Tianhou said with a slight smile.
"Is the Marquis so confident?" Mr. Shui Jing stared at Qi Tianhou and asked.
"Yes, I am so confident. Do you know the origin of my title? In the entire Daluo Dynasty, who dares to have this title? Even the four princes do not have this honor. Qi Tian, Qi Tian, who dares to Qi Tian, only me!
"Qi Tianhou said with a proud look on his face.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis!" Shui Jing and Ling Feng said at the same time.
"You will know the reason for Qitian later. But, Shui Jing, do you have anything to say to me?" Qi Tianhou changed his tone, looked at Shui Jing and smiled.
"Yes, to inform the Marquis, I will go to Princess Qianyou's mansion for a banquet in nine days. Please allow me to do so!" Mr. Shui Jing said immediately.
"Oh? Qianyou invites you?" Qi Tianhou's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Yes" Mr. Shui Jing nodded immediately.
Staring at Mr. Shui Jing, Qi Tianhou changed his expression, showed a meaningful smile and said, "Did Jiuniang also be invited?"
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Shui Jing suddenly changed his mood and said, "Yes."
"Haha, okay, I'll allow you to go. However, you have to bring a message to Zhong Shan for me." Qi Tianhou said with a glint in his eyes.
"Master Marquis, please speak." Mr. Shui Jing breathed out.
"Just tell me, if he fails to enter the top three in the imperial examination in two months, he will have to kowtow when he sees me in the future!" Qi Tianhou suddenly laughed.
"Yes!" Mr. Shui Jing responded immediately.
"Master Hou, why doesn't he enter the top three and kowtow when he sees you in the future?" Ling Feng asked confused.
"Because he was able to protect the princess this time, which is a great achievement, hahaha!" Qi Tianhou said with a smile.
But Ling Feng is still confused, why should he kowtow after such a great achievement? Is it possible that without such great merit, there is no need to kowtow?
At the same time, in the ancient holy capital, there is a corner of a commercial street and a smallest shop.
The shops are almost in the very corners. Either they are inconspicuous, or you can't find them at all if you don't look carefully.
The name of the shop is ‘Jifanzhai’, and in the lower corner of the Jifanzhai plaque there is a small gilded character ‘Rong’.
A store of Da Rong Chamber of Commerce in Taigu Holy Capital.
The shop was closed today and the door was slightly open. Ada stood waiting at the door, but Zhong Shan walked inside alone.
In a side hall, an isolation flag formation was set up.
Zhong Shan was sitting at the top, holding a cup of tea and smiling slightly. Standing in front of him was Zhong Zheng, the prince of the Great E Dynasty.
"Zheng'er, you have done a good job this time. You want the Da Rong Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold in this ancient holy capital and quickly gather resources. Ji Fan Zhai is very suitable. It is unconventional and the most ordinary thing. It does not attract people's jealousy. As long as it is under management
If officials and local cowards work hard together, their luck will last forever." Zhong Shan praised.
"Here, you and I are not monarchs and ministers, but father and son." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, foster father!" Zhong Zheng immediately said with a smile.
"Father, according to your request, I will now remove the word 'Zhong' and name it only 'Zheng'. Jifanzhai has been open for some time, and I am waiting for my stepfather to come and coordinate." Zhong Zheng said again.
"I don't worry about you doing your work. However, there happens to be something for you to do this time. If you do it well, it will be a publicity for Jifanzhai." Zhong Shan said.
"Father, please give me your instructions." Zhong Zheng said.
Zhong Shan smiled slightly, took out a jade slip, and gently handed it to Zhong Zheng.
Zhong Zheng took it in his hand and examined it slightly, then frowned deeply, and finally looked at Zhong Shan with some surprise: "Father, are you really going to be so exaggerated?"
"Within nine days, everything will be in place. I will ask Princess Qianyou to greet you below and fully cooperate with you. The time is a bit tight, but isn't it often like this when we are in Xuanjing?" Zhong Shan said.
"Yeah!" Zhong Zheng nodded.
"In the next nine days, there may be no rest time. At that time, I will ask Princess Qianyou to mobilize a large number of strong men, even some Nascent Soul stage strong men, for you to call upon, and we will do it as soon as possible. Nine
Queen, I want to see the results." Zhong Shan said.
"Don't worry, foster father, if there are Princess Qianyou's instructions and a large number of cultivators work together, there will definitely be no problem." Zhong Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay, you are now the president of the Darong Chamber of Commerce. You must fight this battle beautifully." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Zhong Zheng responded with a smile.
Nine days later. At night, Princess Qianyou's residence.
Outside Orchid Hall, on the square, Zhong Shan and Princess Qianyou stood on it, looking at the prosperous night sky together.
"Sir, you borrowed nearly ten thousand people from me. I borrowed ten thousand cultivators from my father. What do you want so many people for? Where did they go?" Princess Qianyou stared at Zhong Shan.
"In order to fulfill the promise I made to the princess ten days ago!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Oh? Ten thousand people? Don't you need magic to create a scene grander than those billions of petals?" Princess Qianyou said in surprise.
"Yes, but the princess has invited someone again today. Let's wait for them to arrive before we start. Otherwise, if I get too immersed in waiting, it will be bad if I don't notice them after they arrive!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"No, they are not outsiders. I only invited two people this time, mainly to repay Shui Jing for helping me in the past." Princess Qianyou said.
"Oh? Shui Jing? Repay him? Then who else?" Zhong Shan asked doubtfully.
"There is another one, the ninth concubine of King Daxuan. It is her existence that has tied Shui Jing, a world-shattering talent, to the point where he is willing to be King Daxuan's subordinate and is willing not to ask for an official position in the Celestial Empire." Princess Qianyou said.
At this time, Ah Er quickly flew over and said, "Princess, Mr. Shui Jing is here."
"Let him come in!" Princess Qianyou said.
"Yes!" Ah Er immediately flew out.
Soon, Mr. Shui Jing was brought in by Ah Er. Seeing Mr. Shui Jing, Zhong Shan's eyes lit up because Mr. Shui Jing was so unusual today. Mr. Shui Jing was dressed very brightly, something he had never seen before.
In the past, Mr. Shui Jing in Zhong Shan's heart only wanted to be neat and clean, but now he looks like a handsome uncle. The feather fan has also been put away, and he is holding a folding fan in his hand, looking arty and elegant.
.
"Shui Jing has met Princess Qianyou and Mr. Zhong Shan." Mr. Shui Jing said immediately.
"Mr. Shui Jing, what are you..." Zhong Shan said in surprise.
"Sir, you don't have to worry about it. Every time I invite Shui Jing to come, he always changes his previous style and looks handsome and elegant." Princess Qianyou said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Princess." Shui Jing immediately said to Princess Qianyou.
"It's okay, I haven't seen my senior sister for a long time. I just came back and asked her to come to my place to catch up on old times." Princess Qianyou said.
"Thank you!" Shui Jing said again.
With a slight smile, Princess Qianyou looked at Ada flying in the distance.
"Princess, the ninth princess of Daxuan King is here." Ada said.
"Please quickly! Well, let her bearers wait outside and not come here." Princess Qianyou said immediately.
"Yes!" Ada quickly flew out.
Not long after, Ada brought back a gorgeously dressed woman.
The woman's appearance was not outstanding, but with her rosy face, round cheeks, playful eyes, and even before she spoke, Zhong Shan could tell that she was a cheerful and lively girl.
"Qianyou, you are back? You have been out for a long time this time." The woman said excitedly as soon as she came. She grabbed Princess Qianyou's hand and looked happy.
"Sister, you are a princess now, so you need to be more dignified!" Princess Qianyou said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you're not an outsider, uh, Shui Jing? Are you there too?" the woman said with a smile.
"Shui Jing has met the princess." Mr. Shui Jing immediately stepped forward and said. When he looked at the woman, an inexplicable pain flashed in his eyes.
"Every time I come to Qianyou, I see you. Are you working under my husband, but you secretly become Qianyou's subordinate? Hum, I will tell my husband when I get back." The woman immediately teased.
"Everything is a coincidence." Mr. Shui Jing immediately shook his head and said. He looked at the woman in a daze, but he didn't dare to look any further for fear that the woman would notice.
"Okay, okay, I have one more person here." Princess Qianyou said with a smile.
Only then did the woman look at Zhong Shan.
"Zhongshan, the princess's guard has met the princess." Zhongshan said immediately.
"Oh? Golden Core Stage? Qianyou, when will you find a guard for the Golden Core Stage?" The woman immediately looked at Princess Qianyou and asked curiously.
"He is my husband." Princess Qianyou looked at Zhong Shan and said.
"Sir? Er, the kind like a water mirror?" the woman asked immediately.
