"My lord, it seems that Shu Jun's authority is a bit too great." A man dressed as a scribe stood behind the fourth prince Yingyu.
Qin Dynasty, imperial capital. Inner city tower.
Behind Ying Yu, stood a thin-faced man, with his beard covering his mouth, looking like a scholar. At first glance, this man does have the demeanor of a feather fan and silk scarf, but if you see his pair of
When his cunning eyes flash from time to time, you can tell that this person is not only extremely intelligent, but also very good at playing with power.
This person's name is Ding Qingyang, and he is exactly the counselor who was accepted by Ying Yu during Princess Ning Xin's wedding last time. Although he only stayed with Ying Yu for a few months, because of Ding Qing Yang's unique vision and extraordinary views, he
Soon he was promoted and appointed by Ying Yu. He stood out from thousands of talents and became Ying Yu's personal follower.
Under the city, the residents of the imperial capital were cheering for Shu Jun's arrival. In their eyes, Shu Jun seemed to have become an invincible hero. For a country of cultivation that advocates martial arts, an invincible person is a hero.
As long as he is a hero, he is the object of admiration by everyone.
And Shu Jun fits this point perfectly. Although he is the city lord of Qianlin Immortal City in the Chaos Domain, he has the identity of the Prince Consort of the Qin Dynasty.
"Mr. Ding, is there anything you want to say?" Ying Yu remained motionless, her handsome eyes looking at Shu Jun and others who were riding slowly on the street through a screen with an eagle painted on them.
"My lord, you should understand that the world is dominated by those who win the hearts and minds of the people. Although force always ranks first, the influence of the people's hearts cannot be underestimated." Ding Qingyang's voice was slow and unhurried, but every word was like a nail.
In Yingyu's mind. "Especially for a person with great ambitions like Shu Jun. If everyone in the city regards him as a hero, then if he has policy differences with us in the future, who will the people support?"
My lord knows it too."
Hearing this, a ripple suddenly appeared in Ying Yu's eyes as deep as ancient wells. At first, he deliberately asked Shu Jun to participate in his sister's recruitment in order to win over Shu Jun and make him his subordinate. But now it seems
Come on, this step seems to be completely wrong!
Especially when Ying Yu thought of Ding Qingyang's words, it felt as if a huge wave had set off in his heart, beating on his heart and lungs.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Our biggest enemy right now is not Shu Jun, but Zhao Butian." Ying Yu's voice was calm, making it impossible to hear any trace of sadness or joy, "Mr. Ding, do you understand?"
A trace of disdain flashed in Ding Qingyang's eyes, then he lowered his head and said, "I understand."
At this moment, Shu Jun, who was passing by the city, saw Ying Yu on the city tower and could not help but wave and say hello with a smile.
Ying Yu ignored Ding Qingyang and looked at Shu Jun with a wave and a smile.
"I didn't expect that this time, brother actually crossed the Shadow Dynasty, resurrected Brother Zhong, and severely injured Zhao Butian." On the way to the palace, Ying Yu said with admiration, "This time, Brother Shu's reputation is known to the world.
, you can see it just by looking at the people in our imperial capital who welcome Brother Shu."
Shu Jun smiled lightly and said: "This is all just luck. In the final analysis, it's just that I have better luck."
"Not everyone has such good luck." Ding Qingyang, who was following Ying Yu, suddenly said, "It is really rare for Master Shu to have such luck. It seems that Master Shu is indeed
I have been favored by God."
Hearing this, Shu Juncai set his eyes on this man with a slightly delicate figure and a thin face.
Yingyu quickly introduced: "Brother Shu, I forgot, this is my counselor, Mr. Ding Qingyang Ding."
Shu Jun nodded slightly, "Mr. Ding is right."
Ding Qingyang smiled slightly, "You're welcome, Master Shu. I'm just a counselor. I've heard about Master Shu's name for a long time."
Shu Jun smiled calmly, "I can't talk about the famous name, but Mr. Ding can become the chief counselor of my brother. He must have some real talents in his bones." After a pause, he pulled Luo Jiutian over again and said with a smile:
"This is my most capable strategist, Luo Jiutian. Since you two are both strategists, you should have a good discussion in the future."
When he heard that the other party was Luo Jiutian, Ding Qingyang's eyelids twitched slightly. Although it was just a blink of an eye, Shu Jun could still see it clearly.
"My Excellency, Ding Qingyang, I have heard your name for a long time." Ding Qingyang said politely, cupping his fists.
Luo Jiutian smiled slightly and retorted: "Mr. Ding, you are too polite. We will all be friends from now on. Please take good care of us." After saying that, the group laughed and walked towards the palace.
The monarch of the Great Qin Dynasty also heard the news of Shu Jun's arrival, so he lined up to welcome the Prince Consort of the Great Qin Dynasty. This time, the Great Qin Dynasty captured the Dragon and Phoenix cities in the Chaotic Domain, and Shu Jun was indispensable. Therefore,
Within the Qin Dynasty, Shu Jun's prestige was very high.
After chatting with the monarch in the palace, Shu Jun told him about sending troops to attack the Chaos Domain Alliance. Regarding this, the monarch also told Shu Jun that no matter what, he would definitely give a clear answer in three days.
On the way out of the palace, Yingyu walked with Shu Jun, avoiding the eldest prince's eyes. Yingyu said impatiently: "Brother Shu, is Zhao Butian really seriously injured this time?"
Shu Jun nodded, "Yes, within a few months, Zhao Butian will definitely not come to trouble us personally." After a pause, he said: "Brother, you should know. If we want to occupy the Chaos Domain, then
There is no better opportunity than right now."
Ying Yu nodded and responded: "Of course I understand this, but as you saw just now, Brother Shu, my father doesn't seem to agree to sending troops."
Shu Jun was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Why is this? Could it be that His Majesty can't see the current situation?"
Yingyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Shu is one of our own, so I won't hide anything. Before Brother Shu came, the special envoy of the Shadow Dynasty had already met my father."
"What!" Hearing this, Shu Jun was shocked, "Has the special envoy of the Shadow Dynasty arrived?"
"Well, it was just a few hours ago." Yingyu looked a little helpless, "As for what the special envoy and father said, I don't know very well. Father hasn't had time to discuss this with us, Brother Shu, you
It’s already here.”
"Brother, what do you think of this matter?" Shu Jun looked at Ying Yu and asked.
Ying Yu smiled bitterly and said: "If I'm not mistaken, it must be Zhao Butian's idea for the Shadow Dynasty to send a special envoy to our Great Qin Dynasty this time."
"Yes, not only was it Zhao Butian's idea, but he must have come to reconcile with your dynasty." Luo Jiutian added.
Yingyu sighed secretly and said: "I really don't know what my father is thinking. Why do I still hesitate even though I know that the Shadow Dynasty is not well-intentioned."
"Did the Shadow Dynasty offer any attractive conditions?" Shu Jun guessed.
Yingyu frowned and said thoughtfully: "I have thought about this too, but I just can't think of any conditions that would make my father hesitate."
Shu Jun and Luo Jiutian looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
"Brother, don't talk about this now. Since the special envoy of the Shadow Dynasty has already met with the Holy One, it won't be long before the Holy One summons you for discussion. If there is any situation, you can tell me then." After a moment of silence, Shu Jun said,
"It's not very convenient to talk here, brother Yingyu, do you understand?"
Yingyu sighed slightly, "In that case, I won't say anything more. Once something happens, I will definitely send someone to contact my brother as soon as possible. The residence has been prepared for me. I will contact you later."
My men will take Brother Shu there." After that, he hugged his fists, bid farewell to Shu Jun and others, and left.
Under the leadership of Yingyu's men, Shu Jun and others came to a courtyard in the palace. These courtyards were specially prepared for envoys from various countries. Therefore, envoys from other countries also lived in several surrounding courtyards.
As soon as he returned to the room, Ye Jianxing couldn't wait to say: "Damn it, what's going on! Is that old guy from the Great Qin Dynasty an old fool? Why are you hesitating when you know that Zhao Butian has no good intentions?"
"If there were no attractive conditions, the old man would never hesitate." Zhong Mo said, "So, Zhao Butian must have got some treasure, otherwise, the situation would not be like this."
Shu Jun and Luo Jiutian looked at each other, and the latter said, "My lord, can you think of anything Zhao Butian could use to seduce the monarch of the Qin Dynasty?"
Shu Jun let out a long breath and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the thing that tempted the king must be a magic pill that can bring the dead back to life."
Luo Jiutian nodded slowly and explained: "Don't forget, everyone, the monarch had less than three years left in his life due to careless practice a few years ago. Now that it is less than two years, if someone suddenly
If you give him a magic pill that can restore his normal life span, what do you think the monarch will do?"
After listening to Luo Jiutian's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. Ye Jianxing shouted: "So that's it, so we came here in vain this time?"
Zhong Mo shook his head and said: "I can't tell whether it was in vain or not. Since Zhao Butian has prepared such a good elixir, as long as we steal it secretly, won't the situation be reversed immediately?"
Luo Jiutian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhong, I'm afraid that Zhao Butian has already thought of what you are thinking. Since he can't come in person, he must have designed various traps to tempt us to steal the elixir. Once we fail, we will be captured by the Qin Dynasty.
If the people knew about it, do you think they would still welcome us?"
Hearing this, Zhong Mo broke out in a cold sweat. If the monarchs of the Qin Dynasty knew that they did not want him to live long, they would definitely use all the strength of the country to deal with them. By then, even if the fourth prince and the eldest prince begged for mercy at the same time, it would be of no avail.
Thinking of this, Zhong Mo couldn't help but have a headache and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?"
"Yes, the current situation is exactly like this." Luo Jiutian sighed.
