Leng Xiaoxi smiled strangely, and also dipped in water and wrote:
"Master may go into seclusion to reach the highest realm in the near future, and will have no time for other people to care about... As for this one, besides being idle, she has another advantage: her background is astonishing, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen her."
"You chose?!"
Zhang Baoer looked surprised.
"What do you think?"
Leng Xiaoxi sneered and continued to write:
"The spokesperson may involve huge interests, and they are all selected after careful consideration. Now that the matter is urgent, I have the final say here!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, thought for a while and then wrote:
"Are you estranged?"
Leng Xiaoxi nodded, smiled mysteriously and wrote:
"To be precise, she is separated from all women."
Zhang Baoer was stunned for a moment, then she continued to write:
"The specific situation is unknown. I only heard the master mention that her mentor was a woman and a pervert."
Zhang Baoer nodded dumbfounded, and said to himself that it would be okay if the love is not a woman, then Leng Xiaoxi wrote again:
"This time I told them about you and that you wanted to participate and fight for a chance for the Tianhu clan. What they meant was to see your performance."
Zhang Baoer pondered for a long time, and finally looked deeply into Leng Xiaoxi's eyes and said:
"Thanks."
…………
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
When the voices of the ministers fell, Zhang Baoer also began his political career, but he did not stand in the hall like those ministers, but sat behind a screen on one side to listen.
To be precise, he was not just listening. There were various documents on his desk, a huge map hanging on a screen in front of him, and a huge sand table behind him.
His task is to analyze and determine the affairs of the DPRK based on various materials at hand, and then pass on the specific situation to Leng Xiaoxi, allowing her to make a decision or discuss it with the ministers.
However, before he could start working, problems arose.
"Excuse me, Great Emperor, who is the person behind the screen? Why is he here?"
This is an old but very tough voice. Zhang Baoer learned from Bai Ruoyun's voice transmission that this person's name is Niu Qiu. Although he only has magical powers, he is extremely intelligent and upright. He is currently a third-grade imperial censor, responsible for supervision.
Officials and social sentiments.
Leng Xiaoxi was not angry, and replied with a majestic voice and a slight smile:
"This person's name is Zhang Bao'er. He currently serves as a staff officer and will not directly participate in government affairs."
"oh?!"
Niuqiu said "oh" and asked again:
"Then, I would like to ask the Great Emperor, will he interfere with our or your decision-making?"
"meeting!"
"Why?!"
Niuqiu suddenly questioned loudly and asked heartbrokenly:
"Could it be that the Emperor doesn't trust all the ministers in the court?!"
Leng Xiaoxi was not angry, she clapped her hands, and the screen was removed. Zhang Baoer faced the court officials directly, stood up and saluted, and then said to Niuqiu:
"Returning to the old man, if I hadn't known about it in advance a few years ago and informed the emperor about Emperor Xiao's evil intentions, the old man and all of you might not be standing here."
The ministers couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Amid many people's ridiculous voices, Zhang Baoer continued:
"It's not that the Emperor doesn't trust you, it's just because the world is like a chess game. The authorities are blind to the beholder. I'm not a servant of the Emperor. What I see and hear may provide reference, but it's just a reference!"
"The world is like chess..."
Niu Qiu muttered, took a deep look at Zhang Baoer, nodded and said no more.
However, another person stood up again and asked coldly:
"How can you be so virtuous and capable as to dare to call yourself a judge? Just the reason why Xiao Huang is plotting evil, even if it is true, is probably not enough?!"
Seeing this person, Zhang Baoer had the urge to laugh, because this guy was Feng Yixiao!
He resisted the urge to laugh, narrowed his eyes and said:
"In November last year, Mr. Zhi Shanglang was self-willed. In order to promote the nationalization of Lingshi Mine, he forced the three major businessmen of Liang, Tie, and Gu out of the Tianxia Empire. Due to insufficient preparation, he failed to take over the development in time and lacked inventory, resulting in domestic
The Lingshi was in emergency for a month; in February this year, Master Zhi Shanglang didn't know the person, so he sent his subordinate Li Zheng to Zhongzhou with a huge sum of money to buy elixirs. There has been no news about Li Zheng so far. Last month, Master Zhi Shanglang..."
"Enough!"
Feng Yixiao became angry with embarrassment, stared at Zhang Baoer with scarlet eyes and said coldly:
"What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with your presence here?"
Zhang Baoer shook his head and smiled:
"If I participated in what happened in November last year, Tianyin Bank could lend a helping hand; in February this year, if I participated, I could have Holy Medicine Peak send the elixirs to trade... Haha, is this explanation enough?"
Feng Yixiao was speechless. He naturally knew that the person behind Tianyin Bank was Zhang Baoer, and he also heard that Zhang Baoer had a friendship with Zhong Luoluo, the leader of Shengyao Peak.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but whisper. They had known about Zhang Baoer's existence for a long time and had investigated everything about him. They had to admit that Zhang Baoer's ability to trade with the Holy Medicine Peak alone would bring great benefits to the empire.
Huge benefits!
"My dear friends, do you have any objections?"
Seeing that no one continued to speak, Leng Xiaoxi asked with a smile.
Seeing that there was still no one speaking, Zhang Baoer bowed to the princes and sat down, and the two maids put the screen up again.
In the main hall, the court affairs began, Zhang Baoer also waved to the side door, Chen Qing and a dozen people walked in, each holding a large roll of papers, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstones in their hands.
"Great Emperor, I have something to report!"
"Yun Qing, please tell me!"
"Yes! According to the spy information, in order to encourage the monks in the county to actively join the army, He Shouyi, the king of Jing County, privately funded double military pay. This is a good thing, but the strange thing is that one month has passed, but there has been no report.
I sent people to inquire about the paperwork, but there was no response..."
Behind the screen, Zhang Baoer immediately found the location of Jingjun on the map, and sent a message asking Chen Qing and others to immediately dig out the information related to this county and the county king, and then asked them to also connect it to Jingjun.
He also dug up the information about Tongjun in Emperor Wu's territory. After checking it quickly, he frowned, hesitated for a moment and then sent a message to Leng Xiaoxi.
Leng Xiaoxi frowned and sent a message to Zhu Lin, the head of the intelligence department, asking him to enter the screen and meet Zhang Baoer.
Seeing Zhu Lin walking in, everyone frowned, but they didn't say much and continued the discussion one by one.
After a while, Zhu Lin left. Everyone looked at his expression and found that he was full of surprise, but he didn't say much. When he came back, he stood there in a dignified manner, as cold and arrogant as usual.
Leng Xiaoxi's eyes narrowed and she said:
"My dear friends, there are a lot of people missing in Jingjing County, but there don't seem to be many people in the new army. Tong County in Emperor Wu's territory has a large number of new troops."
"The thief is so brave!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ushiqiu blew his beard and glared and cursed:
"No wonder you are so righteous. It turns out you are helping Emperor Wu recruit people!"
"How unreasonable is it to eat the king's salary and do such treacherous and unethical things, why should you deserve to be righteous?"
"Damn it!"
"Well... this matter still needs proof. It would be best to order He Shouyi to come and confront him."
"Master Xu's words make sense."
…
In this way, no one raised any objections to Zhang Baoer's work. The only pity was that he had ordered the Yinmen to stop its activities. If not, he would have been more qualified for this job. Of course, if it had not been for the dormancy of the Yinmen, he would not have had to appear.
The main hall is up.
The court meeting lasted until noon and finally came to an end. Following Bai Ruoyun's order and the sound of farewell, Leng Xiaoxi turned behind the screen and left together with the two figures, one large and one small.
"You're doing well, kid!"
As soon as he walked out of the back door, Wuhua Immortal King looked at Chen Qing with a satisfied expression.
Chen Qing winked at her and signaled her not to make any noise, which made the Wuhua Immortal King laugh silently, and then pulled him away first.
Zhang Baoer and Leng Xiaoxi looked at each other and smiled. When Bai Ruoyun caught up with them, the three of them followed them to have lunch, and then waited for the arrival of the afternoon court.
Being an emperor, especially in troubled times, is not a leisurely matter. Leng Xiaoxi spent most of her time reading in court meetings, and even had to work overtime when encountering urgent or difficult-to-solve matters.
Through personal experience, Zhang Baoer finally understood why she once said it would take so many years to be promoted to a saint and an immortal. At the same time, she also understood why her current progress was ahead of what she had originally said - court gatherings are not like this every day, and are often intensive in one day.
After the court affairs, unless there are special circumstances, she will not be busy in the next few days or even ten days and a half. She only needs to sit there and meditate and practice. Small matters will be discussed and resolved by the ministers of the court.
The ministers of the court are also divided into classes. Unless there are special circumstances, they will work for ten days and then rest for ten days. After all, everyone is a monk, court affairs are important, and cultivation is also very important. It is not easy to get this position. If it is because
It would be a pity to die of old age if your cultivation is not good enough.
Zhang Baoer was also divided into classes, but he only dared to practice martial arts and did not dare to merge with Xiao Ha because he was on the verge of a breakthrough. His breakthrough would make a big noise. Now that Wuhua Immortal King is here, he dare not
Be messy.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three years. Chenqing was already a young man and a half. After Zhang Baoer asked many times, he finally got Leng Xiaoxi's answer about his grandmother for the first time:
"Hey, the higher ups know your value, but they think that since you are now being used by me, there is no need to give up profits to the Sky Fox clan... I'm sorry!"
Zhang Baoer was already prepared for this answer. He sighed and said:
"Then let me rest for a while?"
Leng Xiaoxi frowned and said quietly:
"It's best not to... I'm worried that they will use other methods to force you."
Zhang Baoer lowered his head and said nothing, then asked in a dark and solemn voice after a long while:
"How are you preparing? Are you really going to fight?"
"Want to fight!"
Leng Xiaoxi looked solemn, nodded and said:
"The external struggle has basically been finalized, and there will be no changes. Now Yan Emperor and Heiqi are restrained by Zhongzhou, Xizhou, and Beizhou. If we don't get rid of Sword Emperor and Xiao Emperor at this time, if something happens again later, we will
There will never be such a good opportunity again.”
After listening, Zhang Baoer looked surprised:
"The people behind them won't jump over the wall in a hurry?"
"No! Because there are rules, and if I kill the two of them, the people behind them can support me, but their income will be reduced by half."
"Oh……"
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It feels like we're like crickets for people to bet on."
Leng Xiaoxi smiled bitterly and sighed:
"There is no way..."
In that month, Emperor Leng attacked Sword Emperor and Emperor Xiao. Due to the large gap in strength between Emperor Yan and Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan was oppressed by the Zhongzhou Allied Forces and was unable to come to his aid. In the end, Emperor Sword Emperor and Emperor Xiao were completely defeated. In just one month, they even lost their city.
Tens of thousands, but in the end they had no choice but to gather their strength and retreat to the Thousand Blades Mountain area to resist the danger.
Just when Emperor Leng was preparing to attack Thousand Blades Mountain, Zhang Baoer received news that Emperor Yan had reached a truce agreement with the Zhongzhou Allied Forces and was rushing south for reinforcements.
Then, another news was received: Emperor Leng ignored Emperor Yan's reinforcements and ordered a strong attack across the entire front.
Three days later, the armies of Emperor Sword and Emperor Xiao were defeated and continued to retreat westward. Emperor Leng occupied the Qianren Mountain area. However, due to the pressure of Emperor Yan's army, he could only temporarily give up the conquest of the two emperors. After deploying defensive forces, he led the troops.
Return to meet the Yan Emperor's army heading south.
Ten days later, the two armies attacked each other back and forth, but neither could break through the other side's defenses, and finally withdrew their troops.
Ten days later, Leng Xiaoxi appeared in front of Zhang Baoer with an angry look on her face and said through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! It's really hateful! Those guys don't seem to want to fight anymore, they just want to hold on to the fruits in front of them, so they unite to target me!"
Zhang Baoer smiled bitterly and was about to comfort him when Bai Ruoyun brought a piece of news: a few days later, Emperor Wu's daughter Wu Yan'er would visit.
"Um?!"
Leng Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and she sneered:
"The person who stole from me didn't say a word when he was found out. Now, seeing that I've made a fortune, he sent the princess to visit. This Emperor Wu is quite tough-skinned!"
Zhang Baoer frowned and said:
"How could it be her?"
This made Leng Xiaoxi frown and asked:
"You know him?"
Zhang Baoer nodded and said thoughtfully:
"But I can't figure it out. She doesn't seem to be associated with shouldering big responsibilities. Why did Emperor Wu send her here? If the protagonist is not her, then there is no need to send her. Her brother Wu Lie is more suitable!"
Leng Xiaoxi nodded and snorted:
"You'll know when you meet her... It's hard to say that she has grown up and become a sensible lady!"
"..."
Zhang Baoer was speechless, because this possibility still exists.
Originally, they wanted to discuss Wu Lie again, but the voice of Wuhua Immortal King sounded in their minds:
"Qing'er's foundation has been solidified and she can awaken to her spirit!"
"Very good!"
The two were overjoyed and hurried to the top floor, where the Wuhua Immortal King lived on the top floor.
Walking into the door, I saw Chen Qing sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. After the two stood nervously, Wuhua Immortal King shouted:
"wake up!"
boom!
Chenqing's body trembled, and his face was in pain for a while, but then he looked happy. Dense white mist surged from the surroundings and poured into his body, and a small vortex gradually formed above his head.
