Ma Shaofeng and Niu Yiping both shook their heads. Ma Shaofeng said: "Sir, only the princess knows about this matter. We two just vaguely felt something was wrong."
Li Xing no longer asked this question, but brought up Zhu Jin's recent actions.
"What do you think Zhu Jin wants to do?"
Ma Shaofeng frowned and thought for a long time, and said slowly in an uncertain tone: "My subordinates feel that this Zhu Jin is extremely ambitious and seems... as if he wants to be the emperor."
When Li Xing was stunned, Zhu Jin wanted to be emperor? Is he crazy?
The current Ping Kingdom can be said to be torn into pieces. The great national master Cang Lanji controls the palace and commands some of the princes. Most of the princes are not affected by their height, but are controlled by the five major sects and the divine prince Juekong Sui.
In such an environment, if he wants to be emperor, then it can only mean that there is something wrong with this person's head. If it were Li Xing, he would not want to be a bullshit emperor. The emperor is just a puppet, and he might as well hold it in his hands.
Real princes.
After being startled, Li Xing asked again: "You said Zhu Jin wanted to be the emperor. Did he ever reveal such an intention?"
Ma Shaofeng shook his head: "He has never shown it, but from his daily changes, his subordinates always feel that he wants to be the emperor."
When he mentioned this, Niu Yiping immediately remembered it and said quickly: "Yes, Zhu Jin always swayed when he walked in the past. But now, he walks evenly and steadily, with a big golden sword in front and behind him.
The guards followed, and the scene was very grand."
"When eating, all the meat and vegetables are served in jade. This is the way the emperor eats. Not to mention, Zhu Jin often tries on the emperor's robe. These are nothing. His subordinates think he has changed the most.
, is his temperament. It seems that every time Zhu Jin does something, he reveals an imperial aura and can guide the people."
Li Xing was surprised, and then laughed. In his previous life, he was familiar with history books and knew that there were always some people in history who were too enthusiastic about power, so they did some crazy things that would be unbelievable to future generations.
Is this Zhu Jin also crazy?
He suddenly wanted to see Zhu Jin as soon as possible. What had become of this little person a few years ago?
After asking some questions, Li Xing stopped talking and sat cross-legged on the couch, carrying the Wuji Zhengang in his body. When he looked inside, he saw the rune in the sea of consciousness.
Above the runes, a sacred aura was exuded, suspended above the demon, and it easily suppressed the demon of inspiration that Li Xingguan had come up with, preventing him from turning around.
When Li Xing tried to use his spiritual consciousness to get close to the rune, he would be bounced away by a gentle force. It was obvious that the rune was not under his control at all, and its effect was only suppressed.
"Where did this rune come from? What happened when I was controlled by the demon of inspiration?" Li Xingyi's doubts were answered by no one. At that time, when the demon of inspiration landed, his
His consciousness was completely blocked, and he had no idea what was happening outside. Naturally, he could not detect the sudden appearance of the woman in white.
He couldn't figure it out, so Li Xing didn't think about it. He just adjusted his breath slowly and sorted out the true energy in his body.
Soon, the afternoon time came, and Li Xing was taken by Ma Shaofeng to meet Zhu Jin.
It had been a long time since we last met. When Li Xingyi saw Zhu Jin again after many years of separation, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It turns out that a person's temperament can change so much!
In the past, Zhu Jin was a second-level qi-training national scholar. As the city lord of Qingyun City, he would always smile and be friendly when meeting people. However, at this time, Zhu Jin actually revealed a sense of domineering and confidence, and
It is already the eighth level of Qi training.
So when he saw this person, Li Xing understood that Zhu Jin must have a secret!
Li Xing always felt that the confidence revealed on Zhu Jin's face was so similar to his. He had the Nine Yang Pearl as a foundation, but what about Zhu Jin? What did he have?
He couldn't wait to know the truth.
In the lobby, Zhu Jin sat squarely in the center. He was wearing a brocade robe and a square hat on his head. Behind him, Zhu Qingying, who was still beautiful, stood there with a smile, like a delicate flower.
Zhao Yun and Zhu Qingying had seen each other once in Qingyun City. However, she did not show any abnormality. I wonder if she had noticed it.
"See you, Master Taifu!"
Ma Shaofeng came forward to pay homage to Li Xing and introduced him: "Sir, this is the villain's distant cousin, Zhao Yun, who is at the seventh level of Qi training." He followed Li Xing's words and introduced him to Zhu Jin.
Zhu Jin's official position was Taifu, a very high position. Even Li Xing couldn't figure out how Zhu Jin managed to get into this position.
Zhu Jin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xing. Li Xing's appearance looked like "Zhao Yun", but his temperament had not changed much. So after taking a few glances, Zhu Jin smiled and said: "It's strange, I feel like you look like me."
An old friend."
This place is not one of the five major sects, but a person with the seventh level of Qi training is an incredible person. I think back then, if there was a person with the seventh level of Qi training who was willing to take action, he could attack the city and conquer the territory and accomplish great things.
Therefore, Li Xing showed enough reserve and pride. He just nodded slightly and said calmly: "I'm Zhao Yun, I've met your Excellency."
Zhu Jin smiled and said: "You are at the seventh level of Qi training, which is very good. I need talents like you around me." After thinking for a while, he asked, "You are the first to come here. I will temporarily give you the position of an imperial guard. Look.
how?"
Li Xing naturally had no objection and said, "Thank you, sir."
Zhu Jin smiled, turned to Zhu Qingying and said: "Qingying, please accompany this Zhao Guoshi to walk around and get familiar with the other guards."
Zhu Qingying smiled: "Okay father." She waved to Li Xing, "Zhao Guoshi, please come this way."
Li Xing said goodbye to Zhu Jin and followed Zhu Qingying out of the hall.
While walking on the road, Zhu Qingying sighed: "It's so fast. More than three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Guoshi, your progress is really fast! I remember that you were still a blood practitioner at that time, but now you have reached the seventh level of qi training.
"
Obviously, this Zhu Qingying still remembered Li Xing. However, Li Xing was not worried. There was no conflict between "Zhao Yun" and the woman. And if he appeared here with this identity, the other party would not be suspicious.
After all, Sanyi Garden no longer exists, and the two parties have no old grudges and no doubts.
Li Xingdao: "Yes, Miss Zhu has also changed a lot. Isn't she also the second level of Qi training?"
Zhu Qingying smiled lightly and said, "Zhao Guoshi, do you know the whereabouts of Chen Xue and Chen Shuang?"
Hearing the names of Chen Xue and Chen Shuang, Li Xing felt a sweet feeling in his heart. These two girls are still in Piaomiao Palace now, and they don't know how they are living. When the time comes, he will go to Piaomiao Palace to meet them.
they.
"I have been separated from them for a long time. I heard that Sanyiyuan was wiped out." Li Xing did not continue, but the meaning was obvious. The two girls were in trouble.
"So you don't know that both of them entered the Piaomiao Palace. The Piaomiao Palace is very weird, and life will not be easy." As he spoke, he walked past many pavilions and pavilions and entered a courtyard. This courtyard is very big.
It was also built luxuriously, with carved beams and painted buildings, and bridges to divert water.
In the courtyard, several three- and four-story wooden buildings were built.
As soon as the two people arrived, a person walked out of the wooden building and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is here, what are your orders?" At the same time, he glanced at Li Xing.
Li Xing also looked at the other person. He was a tiger-backed man with a broad face and a square forehead. He looked in his thirties and had a calm gait. He was a national warrior at the seventh level of Qi training.
Zhu Qingying said: "Guard Nian, this is the new Guard Zhao, please get close to me."
The man just glanced sideways at Li Xing. There was no kindness in his expression, but a coldness in his expression. He only said "hmm" from his nose.
Zhu Qingying thought to herself: "This Zhao Yun has made such rapid progress in three years. He is a genius! I must tell my father about this and let him try his best to win over this person. In the future, if he achieves success, he can become his father
His right-hand man. However, we haven’t found out yet whether this person is sincere in his surrender, so we have to test him for a period of time.”
With his mind spinning, Zhu Qingying exited the yard with a smile.
In the courtyard, there were only Li Xing and guard Nian. Guard Nian crossed his arms across his chest and stared at Li Xing.
Li Xing also looked at the other party, with a faint smile on his face.
"Guard Zhao, do you know who our imperial guards are trying to protect?" Guard Nian asked.
Li Xingdao: "It must be His Majesty the Emperor and Taifu Zhu."
"Yes, the people we protect are all important people. Therefore, as an imperial bodyguard, strength is the first priority. Master Taifu asked you to come and give you a position as a bodyguard. You must obey me in the future."
"Oh?" Li Xing disagreed, which made Guard Nian feel unhappy.
"Didn't the eldest lady tell you? Am I the commander of the imperial guards?" Guard Nian was very patient and suppressed his anger.
Li Xingdao: "The eldest lady didn't say anything. Master Zhu only told me that I would be a bodyguard in the palace." He smiled and said, "If the master didn't say anything, he would probably let me take on as many positions as I have the energy to do."
His words revealed his ambition, which immediately changed the face of the guard Nian. When he entered the palace, it was for the position of commander of the guards. The salary of the commander of the guards is very high, which is equivalent to that of the great princes of various parties.
Now, someone actually came to snatch it, and Nian Guard suddenly felt murderous intention in his heart. The reason why he is called "Nian Guard" instead of "Nian Commander" is because he is not the official commander yet.
"I wonder how much energy you have?" Guard Nian took a step forward and approached Li Xing. More than a dozen people walked out of the wooden building one after another, with cultivation levels ranging from the third level to the seventh level of Qi training.
These people immediately surrounded Li Xing, with unkind expressions on their faces.
Guard Nian suddenly became more confident. With so many helpers, he was sure to subdue Li Xing.
Li Xing had a contemptuous expression on his face, and with a twitch of his lips, he asked in a sinister voice: "What does this mean, Guard Nian? Do you welcome me?"
Guard Nian sneered: "Guard Zhao, there are no rules. Since you have come here, you must abide by the rules here and obey my orders! Otherwise, we can only speak with our fists."
This year's guard was quite direct and asked Li Xing to listen to him.
Li Xing smiled "haha": "Aren't you afraid that Feng Da will flash his tongue? I will listen to you? Who do you think you are!"
Such words immediately made everyone angry. Guard Nian was so angry that his nose was crooked, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
