Although Zhou Tongtong lost for a while, he was only in the Ming Jing Realm and was able to fight against the Xuantong Realm and escape unscathed. He became famous in Huangtai Castle for a while.
He and Huang Jianqing were drinking tea in a bamboo hut. The strange formation blocked the cold wind around them, making them elegant and free without being disturbed by the cold.
Huang Jianqing held a piece of information in his hand and threw it in front of his senior brother: "This Marquis of Dading County is very murderous. Since the last imperial edict, Liu Cangda and Duan Xuanji have both died in his hands."
Zhou Tongtong knew everything that happened in the fort. He frowned: "Song Zheng cooperated with Meng Tianjiu and Jing Boran and repeatedly took action. This is not in line with his temperament. Send someone to investigate secretly to see what they are doing.
.”
Huang Jianqing said: "Liu Cangda and Duan Xuanji are both in the middle stage of knowing destiny. Do you want to adjust Song Zheng's assessment?"
"Yes." Zhou Butong nodded: "Shi Yi is also a knight, and they can be upgraded to 'allies'."
This is the highest rating the Anti-Tian League gives to those it wants to recruit.
Almost at the same time, in the Spiritual Fire Meeting, Taiban Tianzun was also giving instructions: "The people around Song Zheng have also been knighted. If we don't win over him, it will be even more difficult in the future."
Ling Zidao said: "Tianzun, someone in the castle has recently speculated that the person who kills the knight may inherit his title."
Taiban Tianzun immediately responded: "So, among all the knights, isn't Song Zheng, who is currently at the lowest level, the most dangerous?"
"Exactly, someone has already taken action, Duan Xuanji, have you heard of it?"
"Duan Xuanji, who is recognized as being able to achieve a major cultivation of the realm of clear vision within five imperial edicts?"
"It's him."
Everyone has opinions about others, or in other words, has a rating of strength or weakness. However, large organizations like the Spirit Fire Society and the Anti-Sky Alliance will really make this rating based on levels.
To determine the order of actions.
For example, who to win over first, or if two potential monks conflict, which one should be helped.
Putting aside the title of knight, in terms of cultivation alone, in fact, whether it is the Spiritual Fire Society or the Anti-Heaven Alliance, they treat people like Song Zheng and Duan Xuanji on the same level.
Song Zheng is one level ahead just because of Tianhuo's title.
But I didn't expect Song Zheng to be able to kill Duan Xuanji Taiban Tianzun. No need to ask about the result. Since Duan Xuanji took action and Song Zheng was still alive, the result was of course clear.
"You handle this matter personally. If he is willing to join our Spiritual Fire Society, we can ensure his absolute safety in Huangtai Castle. This time it was Duan Xuanji, and next time it may be Mingjing Realm Overhaul."
"yes."
…
Over the ages, outsiders have come and gone in the trading houses.
More than half a month had passed since the last imperial edict. The surviving monks calculated that Tianhuo might issue the next imperial edict at any time, so they began to think of ways to prepare various resources that might be needed for the next imperial edict. Miracle medicines and jade talismans were particularly in demand.
, the price remained high, and Qiangu Trading Company made a lot of money.
Su Chen no longer needed manpower support from his family. He already had enough Yuan Yu to hire people directly in Huangtai Castle.
All the retainers who followed him at the beginning have died, and only three of the four sword maids are left. His confidant is a great cultivator of the Mingjian Realm. With the help of various resources provided by Su Chen, he was able to succeed in several imperial edicts.
After persevering, although Su Chen's realm was low, he was still loyal and devoted to the great cultivation of Mingjian realm.
"Master."
He knocked on the door and came in to report: "Song Zheng hasn't left seclusion yet."
Su Chen was a little worried: "Did you give them the invitation?"
"Give it," Mingjianjing Daxiu said truthfully, "but Shi Yi said he had to wait until Song Zheng left the country to discuss it."
Su Chen nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang. You can go down and practice."
"good."
Jianping still didn't have a good impression of Song Zheng, so she couldn't help but said: "Sir, why do you always look at this big-headed soldier in a different light?"
This time, Su Chen didn't explain to her anymore. He sat at the table and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he stood up and waved, "You three, come with me."
…
Shi Yi saw off a group of visitors and became a little impatient. Just as he was about to close the courtyard door, he saw a group of people coming from a distance. The leader of the group smiled gracefully, closed the folding fan in his hand, and held his hand in the distance: "Shi Yi
Commander, why don't you invite my old friend to come in and sit down?"
Shi Yi couldn't remember who this guy was for a while. He only thought that he was wearing a light silk shirt and a robe on a cold day. He was swinging around with a folding fan in his hand... Fortunately, everyone was a monk.
, if ordinary people see it, they will definitely think that you are mentally ill.
However, the three maids behind this man are quite good, they are all beautiful.
In response to this, Shi Yi did not close the door immediately, but turned around and asked: "Who is this guy? Do I know him?"
Zhou Kou told him unceremoniously: "He is just pretending to know you. The person he knows is a scholar."
"Well……"
Su Chen came in, and with a wave of his hand, the three sword maids took out some preserved fruit snacks from their mustard fingers, and set out some fine wine.
"Guys, I want to wait here for Song Zheng. Are you interested in having a drink together?"
"One cup is not enough." Zhou Kou said back to him honestly.
"Hahaha!" Su Chen clapped his hands, and the sword maids took out several more altars: "My Su family has enough wine to entertain friends."
Zhou Kou then sat down and muttered: "This is not bad." He ignored Su Chen and enjoyed himself. The three sword maids, who had no good impression of them, frowned together, secretly feeling vulgar.
Su Chen arrived at a good time. They waited for half an hour when Song Zheng's door opened with a creak.
Although Young Master Su was chatting and laughing with Shi Yi and others, his real attention was on Song Zheng's room, so he immediately turned his head to look, and his whole body was shocked.
Song Zheng walked out of the room with a hint of exhaustion from the depths of his soul, and seemed overwhelmed. However, Su Chen also trembled from the depths of his soul! It seemed that the weak white mouse had seen the terrifying civet cat,
A natural fear.
"How could this happen?" He said to himself, he was also in the middle stage of knowing his fate.
He calmed down and went to see Song Zheng again. He felt that he was ordinary and seemed to have nothing special about him. He frowned secretly, feeling a little confused.
Shi Yi and others came up to meet him: "You have figured it out, we have been annoyed to death in the past three days, and all the guests have stepped on the threshold."
Song Zheng reached out and took the pile of name cards and invitations handed over by Shi Yi. He put them aside for the time being because he noticed Su Chen.
Su Chen Shiran stood up, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Brother Xiao Song, long time no see."
Song Zheng returned the gift and asked doubtfully: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Exactly, can you give me a place to talk?"
Song Zheng nodded and gestured: "Please."
The two went to the backyard. The reason why Song Zheng was polite to Su Chen was not only not to hit the smiling man, but also had his own considerations.
Shi Yi and others stayed in front, but the three girls Jianping followed and waited on them.
Su Chen smiled first and asked, "Brother Xiao Song, do you still have grudges about what happened before?"
Song Zheng has no grudge against him anymore. After all, he almost scared Jian Ping to the point of pissing her pants. If you look at it carefully, he took advantage. But it is definitely impossible to say that he will have a good impression of Su Chen and his group.
of.
"No." He smiled faintly: "I am a scholar, and saints teach me to be tolerant."
Su Chen nodded: "That's good. I've been doing pretty well in Huangtai Castle in the past few months. The Millennium Trading Company has developed smoothly and is already the number one chamber of commerce in the castle. My family is very satisfied with my achievements and has given me a lot of support."
Great support.
My own practice has progressed rapidly, and I am already in the middle stage of the realm of knowing destiny. It won’t take long before I can break through to the late stage, and the state of clear vision is just around the corner.”
Song Zheng didn't say anything. He knew that Su Chen wouldn't be so superficial. He came here and waited for more than half an hour just to show off this to him.
Su Chen paused and smiled to himself: "But... to tell you the truth, I always have fear in my heart!"
Song Zheng understood what he meant: "Because of the sky fire?"
"Exactly. All this is given by the Heavenly Fire, and it can be taken back at any time. Under the imperial edict, all living beings are equal. My status as the heir of the eternal family cannot bring me even a little more security."
He came to Song Zheng: "Brother Song, I can give you an extremely generous offer, as long as you tell me how to become a knight!
Or, you can help me become a knight, just like you helped Shi Yi."
"It's not what you think..." Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen had already rushed to say: "There are many speculations about knights from the outside world, but those are all fools.
Since the fall of Skyfire, almost every move has hidden meanings. Unfortunately, there are many that we still don’t understand what the intentions are. It will not confer knighthood for no reason, nor will it simply use the title as a bait to cause everyone to fight for it.
It's really ridiculous for those fools to speculate on heavenly fire based on their own level."
Song Zheng did not refute him. On some points, he agreed with Su Chen.
"I firmly believe that if you want to survive, you can only follow the rules of Skyfire. And the first step is to become a knight!"
He looked at Song Zheng: "Spiritual treasures, spiritual elixirs, spiritual arrays, all kinds of exotic treasures, as long as you can give me a price, I will try my best to help you get them. One piece cannot be two, two can't be three! Song Zheng
Zheng, this is the condition I gave, as long as you can help me become a knight!"
He determined that Shi Yi's becoming a knight was due to Song Zheng; but Song Zheng knew that it was not that simple. If he really had any merit, it might be that he kept Shi Yi alive until he was knighted.
But he couldn't take Su Chen with him for no other reason than that he didn't trust Su Chen!
It’s self-evident how harmful it is to have someone you don’t trust when you have an imperial edict.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't accept it." He refused with a wry smile. Su Chen was silent for a moment, but his eyes showed that he would not give up. When Song Zheng was about to persuade him, he suddenly said: "Brother Song still has a grudge.
"
"this……"
"Why don't I give Jianping to you?"
"What?" Song Zheng and Jianping exclaimed together.
