Seeing the Northern Saint envoy Cao Sheng, who was in his prime, suddenly give such a big gift after entering the room, everyone in the room was immediately confused. Even Feng Jueyu who was on the bed was stunned for a few seconds before he opened the door.
He got out of bed and helped Cao Sheng up with both hands: "Shengshi Cao, can't you do this?"
Feng Jueyu tried hard with both hands to help Cao Sheng up, but Cao Sheng kept hiding and said: "Fellow Taoist saved the entire Jin Sheng City and was able to rebuild Suiluan Star Island, why can't he do it?"
.”
He cupped his hands and bowed his head again, then slowly straightened up. When everyone in the room saw that Cao Sheng had no airs, they immediately rated him a little higher.
After the salute, Wu Yingxue was afraid that Feng Jueyu's body would be overwhelmed, so she walked up to him and helped him steady. The latter felt the warm fragrance of soft jade, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He coughed lightly and asked Cao Sheng to sit down and chat.
Northern Holy Envoy Cao Sheng was a man of good conduct. Although he also looked at Wu Yingxue, he just glanced at it and immediately took it back. He asked with a smile: "Is this Mrs. Feng?"
His words made many people in the room laugh and say nothing, until Wu Yingxue said politely without admitting or denying: "I, Wu Yingxue, have met Cao Shengshi."
Cao Sheng didn't understand what he said, but Lin Lie, who had a big mouth, laughed and said without hesitation: "The Holy Envoy has good eyesight, this is my sister-in-law."
Feng Jueyu put his hand on his forehead and showed a speechless expression. He didn't want to embarrass Wu Yingxue anymore, so he quickly asked Cao Sheng to sit down: "Shengshi Cao, please sit down."
"Come here, let's serve tea." Wang Jingchun smiled broadly and hurriedly warmed up.
Then everyone was sitting in the room laughing and chatting. Wu Yingxue stood quietly behind Feng Jueyu without sitting down, highlighting the gentle style of a dignified and virtuous wife. Cao Sheng did not dare to look more, for fear of being rude.
, but the aristocratic temperament in the house is like a lotus hanging in still water, which people dare not ignore.
After Wang Jingchun ordered people to serve fragrant tea, everyone began to chat in the room, talking about the recent major events in Jinsheng City, from Shen Qingqi's great reduction in cultivation to his sudden death and various changes after that. Among them was Shen Tian
Cao Sheng was grateful for Sad's tact and forbearance, and Feng Jueyu's help, and kept saying "thank you" every time.
When Feng Jueyu asked how he planned to deal with Xu Teng and Fu Zhaoxun, Cao Sheng's face turned serious. He looked at Shen Tian sadly and said in a dilemma: "Xu Teng and Fu Zhaoxun's evil deeds are obvious.
The envoy issued the imperial edict as early as yesterday, which is well known to the Xingdao monks. However, as the leader of the Four Holy Envoys, Xu Teng holds a high and powerful position, and there are many followers under him. They are like centipede insects but not dead. Even if the envoy is really promoted to the Holy Envoy,
The Dabao of the city, who is a holy king, should not be dealt with hastily, but his consequences will not be good. According to the laws of the holy city, Xu Teng's crime is extremely heinous, and at least he will end up with a loss of cultivation. As for Fu Zhaoxun, he cannot escape the death penalty.
of."
At this point, Shen Tian twisted his neck sadly and turned his head, saying: "Xu Teng is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Fu Zhaoxun is just the executor. Why is Xu Teng exempted, but Fu Zhaoxun will definitely die. Both of them deserve to die."
Cao Sheng glanced at Shen Tianbei and sighed: "Tianbei, I understand your mood, but this matter is not as simple as you think." Cao Sheng raised his head and sighed: "Xu Teng is a holy envoy of two generations and has served After two generations of wise kings, Wu Shengjun and Emperor Mingshengjun, no matter how big a mistake he made, he could not erase the achievements of nearly a thousand years."
Feng Jueyu knew not to interfere in such family matters, so he sat aside and drank tea with a smile without saying a word.
Every place has its own rules. The laws of Jinsheng City are imitated by the Imperial Kingdom, and the laws are extremely strict. However, the so-called legal principles are nothing more than human relationships. Cao Sheng does not have to regard Xu Teng's status as an envoy to the East, but he cannot ignore his two generations of envoys. outstanding contributions.
Seeing that Cao Sheng and Shen Tianbei were about to break up, Wang Jingchun came up with a clever plan: "Cao Shengshi, it is known to everyone that Xu Teng has done many evil things. The law of this city clearly states that anyone who causes harm to the Star Island will die." Mo Shu, what about the two generations of holy envoys? Is it possible that the people in the city have no complaints?"
Cao Sheng was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "What Mr. Wang means is..."
Wang Jingchun glanced at Shen Tianbei, who was filled with anger, and said: "I have no intention of being involved in the legal affairs of Xingdao. I just want to speak objectively. Xu Teng, Mo Shiren's crimes are too numerous to describe. If they are not punished severely, they will definitely chill some people's hearts. Cao Shengshi has great kindness in his heart. What's the use of thinking about his good. If he does evil, he will naturally be punished. So according to the old man's idea, if Cao Shengshi can't make a decision, why not give him the power of punishment? People in the city? In ancient times, Fang Jingman, the Holy Envoy, seized power. At first, Shengjun Wen Shengjun was in a dilemma. Later, he issued a decree on the city to expose his crimes, and then left it to the people to make a decision. Wouldn't he be executed in the same way? If the Holy Envoy Cao was If you can’t make up your mind, why can’t you imitate Lord Wen Sheng?”
Wang Jingchun's words reminded Cao Sheng. After the words, although Shen Tianbei did not express his opinion, his eyes were full of expectation.
"Okay." Cao Sheng, who was in a dilemma, was enlightened. He slammed the table and said, "Just do as Mr. Wang said. Xu Teng's life and death will be decided by the people in the city."
After the words fell, Shen Tianbei's expression softened slightly.
Feng Jueyu also heard some clues from it. In fact, didn't Cao Sheng want to convict Xu Teng of death?
no.
The reason is that when Cao Sheng first obtained the Golden Shengzhu, he seemed to have become the new candidate for the Golden Shengjun. In this position, if he wanted to kill someone right away, and the person he killed was the Holy Envoy who was once his colleague, it would inevitably make people think that he had to eliminate the disloyal party. This idea will not do any good for Cao Sheng's control of Xingdao in the future. Instead, it will make people think that he is narrow-minded.
Wang Jingchun's proposal is much more pertinent, especially in the history of Suiluan Star Island. There has been such an experience. The Holy Envoy seized power. Due to his rich achievements, it was difficult for him to handle it as a Holy King, so he left it to the people of the city to vote. , listen to the opinions of the majority of people, only in this way can fairness be shown.
After some detailed discussion, Cao Sheng decided on the next treatment. Then with a wave of his hand, Jiao Jin walked in from the outside, dragging a plate with ten pairs of cold jade on it. He waved. He signaled Jiao Jin to step forward and said: "Fellow Daoist Feng has made great contributions to quelling the chaos on Xingdao. I can't thank you enough. I heard that Daoist Feng is the deputy sect leader of a sect in Jiujie Mountain. I guess these ten pairs of Hanba jade are very important to Feng Dao." My friend is of some use, but my little opinion is not a sign of respect, so I will accept it with a smile, Taoist friend Xie Feng.”
Feng Jueyu lowered his head and looked at the ten pairs of Hanba jade that were shining brightly on the purple gold tray. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. To this day, Xiaoyue Sect and Tianfang dominate the Qicai and chaos in the two realms. Although it cannot be said that no one dares to
But at least it can stop most villains with ulterior motives. In terms of financial resources, few people can match it. However, the huge Tianfang and Xiaoyue are still collecting Hanba jade so far. This move is completely possible.
It can be seen that Xiaoyue Sect and Tianfang's desire for Hanba Jade is almost crazy.
Looking at the world, there are all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but Hanba Yu Shao is pitiful, and this kind of spiritual stone can allow people to communicate across thousands of miles, and harvest information is the most convenient and quick.
Those Taishang Tianzong spared no effort to collect and reserve, let alone Xiao Xiaoyue and Tianfang.
Over the years, in order to control the overall situation of the Xiaoyue Sect, Madam Hongxing had to get three or four pairs of Hanba jade from all directions. Feng Jueyu contributed two pairs, which shows that Hanba jade is
How rare, and now, in order to thank him for his great help on Suiluan Star Island, Cao Sheng actually took out ten pairs of Hanba jade, which Feng Jueyu didn't expect at all.
Although it is not a heavenly or earthly treasure that can help improve one's cultivation, nor is it a divine treasure that can surpass all weapons, the value of these ten pairs of Hanba jade is enough to drive Feng Jueyu crazy.
After being inexplicably stunned for a few seconds, Feng Jueyu laughed loudly and said without any hesitation: "Holy Envoy Cao is too guest, but how do you know that I, the Holy Envoy, are in need of this?"
Cao Sheng smiled faintly and turned to Shen Tianbei. The latter glanced at Lin Lie next to him with a sad smile and said, "I guessed it."
"What did you guess?"
"The junior knows that the senior is the master of a sect, and things like Hanba Jade are very rare even outside. Cao Shengshi once asked the junior what he should give to thank the senior for his kindness, and the junior said that Hanba Jade can be used
, If senior really likes it, that would be great." At this time, Shen Tianbei was not entangled in Xu Teng's issue, and was very organized in his words and actions, but unfortunately, Feng Jueyu would not believe his lies.
Turning his gaze to Lin Lie who was sitting on pins and needles, Feng Jueyu said speechlessly: "Second brother, you must have said something again."
"What did I say? I didn't say anything." Lin Lie immediately denied it.
Feng Jueyu didn't do much to spread the word, and looked back: "To be honest with you, the Holy Envoy, I am indeed in short supply of Hanba Jade. Since the Holy Envoy is so sincere, I won't be polite."
After the words fell, Wu Yingxue stepped forward and took the tray from Jiao Jin with a rare smile, and then retreated behind Feng Jueyu. Although she didn't say a word during the process, her cold and noble temperament made the whole room...
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they secretly praised Feng Jueyu for his good fortune.
Cao Sheng was an upright person, and it was very difficult for him to give gifts to others. He originally thought that Feng Jueyu would shirk the problem, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so straightforwardly and just give it to him. He was stunned for several seconds.
After looking at Feng Jueyu for a long time, Cao Sheng patted his thigh and laughed: "Haha, Taoist Taoist Tianbei is not strict with trivial matters. I really have a bad temper when I meet you today. Taoist friend, oh, it's too disrespectful to call me that. In the future
You and I should still treat each other like brothers."
"How dare you?" Feng Jueyu replied blankly.
"What's this?" Cao Sheng glanced sideways, then patted Feng Jueyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Feng was running around everywhere when he came here, and he didn't appreciate the local customs of Xingdao. Now that the dust has settled, Feng Brothers, please stay for a while longer before leaving, so that Cao can fulfill his friendship with Earth Treasure."
When Feng Jueyu heard this, he wanted to refuse because he had something important to do, but Cao Sheng didn't give him a chance to reply. He turned around and looked at Shen Tianbei blankly and asked, "Tianbei, do you want to pick up Shen Tianbei?" Old Ban, can you be a qualified bodyguard of the Holy King?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
