"The Lord of Huacheng needs us to send a noble person back to the imperial capital, and that noble person needs to be escorted personally by the temple owner of the Four Avenues of Huacheng."
"The noble man also said that if we refuse, there will no longer be a place for us in Huacheng. Now the other three Taoist temples have agreed, and only our Chunyang Taoist temple has not expressed its stance."
"I offered to go there on behalf of junior brother, but was rejected outright, so I want to ask junior brother for your opinion."
Changli said with some embarrassment.
Chunyang Taoist Temple finally took root in Huacheng, and the four senior brothers finally had a family. It would be a bit reluctant to give up everything now.
"The lord of Huacheng City treats us with great courtesy, and the Sheriff of Jialing County also respects us. Is that nobleman not Tianhuang nobleman, who dares to boss us around?"
Jiang Chen said with some annoyance.
If you come to ask for help in a good manner, he may not be able to help, but if you want to use his power to suppress others, he is not easy to mess with!
"Junior brother guessed it right, the opponent is Tianhuang Noble, either a prince or a princess, not to mention a monk in the visualization realm, even if he is in the free realm, he is not willing to provoke him easily."
"Of course, the great monks in the Xiaoyao Realm can be on equal terms with the Yuanchu Emperor, and the prince and princess will naturally not be able to drive them."
"But if you want to control several out-of-body visualization realms, then you can't just let them control it?"
Changli said with some helplessness.
This is a hard job, and even if there is a prize, they are not willing to take it, because many people do not want to have too much interaction with the royal family.
If you fail, you may be deported from the country and be homeless in a foreign country, or your life may be at risk!
After all, the priests raised by the royal family and the monks of the Imperial Prefecture are not just for free!
"Really the prince and princess?"
"What are they doing in Jialing County?"
"If it's really a prince or princess traveling, there will be guards of honor and protection from accompanying experts. What else do we need to do?"
"But now they actually want us, a small family, to protect them and help them return to the imperial capital."
"This shows that some people don't want them to return to the imperial capital safely, and that their guard strength is simply unable to withstand the enemy."
"Even when they quietly came to Jialing County, they were actually being chased and fled here. All their men may have been killed or injured!"
"It's clear that someone wants them to die outside the imperial capital!"
"This errand is not easy to handle. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. If they return to the imperial capital alive, then we will be even more in danger!"
"Can we afford to offend anyone who dares to kill the prince or princess?"
"If they know that we ruined their good deeds, then we will also be doomed!"
Jiang Chen basically guessed the general context of the matter through just a few words of information!
"ah?"
"It's so serious?"
"I just think that our Chunyang Taoist Temple cannot afford to offend such noble people. Even the former Qingyang Taoist Temple would give them three points."
"But I didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns in it!"
"If junior brother hadn't reminded me, I would have almost lost my junior brother's life in vain!"
"In this case, I will reject them now. If they want to seal Chunyang Taoist Temple, then let them do whatever they want. At worst, we will go to other places!"
Changli said very decisively.
Although he is a bit dull, a bit rigid, a bit unsophisticated, not very thoughtful, and has no idea when things happen.
But when it comes to matters involving his junior brothers and sisters, he is always decisive and resolute, and will never let his junior brothers and sisters be wronged!
Therefore, even though Jiang Chen's current cultivation level far exceeds his, he still respects him very much.
Because he is a good senior brother with charming personality!
"Senior brother, don't worry. I'd better go to the City Lord's Mansion in person to find out their true intentions. If necessary, I can intimidate them."
"If the situation of the prince and princess from the imperial capital is really worrying, they would not want to offend our two visualization monks in the Flower City!"
"If they are willing to pay a small price, and the price is enough to impress me, I might consider escorting them."
"I'm not stupid. If I knew that something couldn't be done, I would just run away for my life. No matter what the prince or princess is, if the emperor wants to settle accounts with us, then the Zhou Dynasty won't wait!"
"I wish I was overthinking it!"
Jiang Chen said with emotion.
The royal members of the Zhou Dynasty are not easy to mess with, especially these princes, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
If it involves a battle for the crown prince, it will be even more troublesome!
Because the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty never had the habit of establishing a direct descendant or establishing a prince in advance.
It is not possible to know who the next emperor will be until the emperor is about to die!
This throne was not given blindly, but the princes were trained like gu, letting them fight and perform to see who stands out the most and who is most likely to win against everyone.
The loser may stay far away from the center of power and become a prince with nothing to do at home, or may lose his life in the worst case!
Therefore, all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended to the throne by stepping on the bones of their brothers and sisters and countless ministers.
Although this method is tragic, it can ensure that the person who ascends the throne will definitely not be a mediocre person!
It also ensured the stability of the Zhou Dynasty!
Although this will also cause instability in the court and turmoil in the country, if an incompetent emperor ascends the throne, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be far from being destroyed!
Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the Zhou Dynasty did not have the support of state religion.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this kind of thing. Without a state religion, although the life span of the dynasty may be greatly shortened and the succession of the throne will be unstable, without the constraints of the state religion, the emperor's power has reached its peak, which is more conducive to rule!
"good!"
"Since junior brother has already made a plan, then I will listen to you."
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Chang Li nodded and said.
That's right, he's just so opinionated.
"Okay, then I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to see what is so valuable about this noble man!"
Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.
Coming from the real world, he doesn't have much fear of imperial power. Daqing has been dead for hundreds of years, so where did this bullshit prince and princess come from?!
However, people in the world of Xianxia do not think so. They are afraid of the imperial power. Even the great masters of martial arts and the great monks of Xiaoyao Realm do not dare to go against a great dynasty.
This kind of political system in which the family, country and world are integrated and the emperor is rigid and arbitrary can ensure that the power of the country is unified into one!
Such a state machine is like a scourge, even a great monk from the Xiaoyao Realm would not dare to touch it easily!
Although Jiang Chen is not afraid of the imperial power, he is not willing to offend them.
After all, as long as he was still within the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, he would be restricted by the Zhou Dynasty!
The main palace of Huacheng City.
This is Jiang Chen's first time stepping into this place. In the past, Chang Li took care of everything. He has always been the boss behind the scenes.
However, his reputation in Huacheng is not small, especially after breaking through the visualization realm, he vaguely became the number one monk in Huacheng!
The reputation of Chunyang Taoist Temple is also growing. This is precisely because he does not appear often, so he is spread more and more by some people.
"This Taoist priest, why are you here? Do you have a name tag?"
The concierge of the City Lord's Mansion blocked Jiang Chen's way, but seeing Jiang Chen's attire and otherworldly temperament, he did not dare to neglect him.
"I, Chunyang Taoist Master of Chunyang Taoist Temple, are here at the invitation of the city lord. You can go in and tell me something!"
Jiang Chen said.
"It turns out to be the owner of Chunyang Taoist Temple!"
"Please also ask Master Chunyang to wait for a moment, I will go to report it immediately!"
The concierge immediately set off and reported the matter at every level to ensure that the news reached the ears of the Lord of Huacheng as quickly as possible.
