After Yang Sheng finished processing the last document of the day, he turned to look at the moon hanging high outside the window. He calculated the time and found that it was almost Hai hour. This time was still "early" for him. He was still there at this time yesterday Keep busy.
"Your Majesty, would you like some noodle soup?"
"Well, bring it up." Yang Sheng ordered without looking back. He has the habit of eating some late-night snacks after finishing his work at night. Clear soup noodles are his most common and favorite late-night snack.
In a short time, a small table and a bowl of delicious noodle soup were in front of Yang Sheng, with an eunuch waiting on them.
"Have you found any precedent for the kind of thing Qing Ling mentioned two days ago?" Yang Sheng blew on the noodles, picked up one and tested the temperature. He felt it was a little hot, so he took a moment to ask.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have checked all the relevant documents in the royal family and found no similar records. Yesterday I consulted with the Yuanding Military Academy and I hope to check again through their caliber. As soon as possible. The final result will not be available until five days.”
He nodded. The Nanyuan Kingdom was split from the Qiande Dynasty, and the things that succeeded the Qiande Dynasty were half-divided from the Beiwu Dynasty. It is inevitable that there will be many shortcomings. But even if there is no conclusive news, Yang Sheng's heart In fact, this was expected from the beginning.
"A piece of paper, burned and then subdued with strong wine, will have great power beyond the limit. The consequence will be that it will lose mobility in a short period of time, and it will take more than ten days to cultivate. This thing is simply out of the scope of our cognition .
Just like the "Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine". The people at the Royal Hospital took the medicine residue and tried it over and over again, but without exception they all failed. They couldn't even touch the edges.
The Royal Hospital came with a confession note. But I understand that this is not their fault. The medicinal properties of those medicinal materials are conflicting and inconsistent with pharmacology. However, Zhang Yan can mix them to produce magical effects. There must be another reason for this. .For example, those densely packed symbols on the bathtub.
It’s just that we don’t understand it, so we can’t see the clues.
It seems that it has a lot in common with the pieces of paper that Qing Ling said were burned to ashes and swallowed with wine."
It was as if he was talking to himself or explaining to others. After talking, Yang Sheng began to slurp the noodles. He finished the small bowl of noodles quickly and drank the noodle soup thoroughly.
"Little Thirteen's recent narrations are also very interesting. I heard that many people in the royal family are very busy. They cannot study the knowledge imparted by Zhang Yan, nor can they understand whether the stories Zhang Yan told are obscure or not. .
Haha, what do you think? What kind of person is Zhang Yan?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. But I feel that Zhang Yan seems to reveal something unusual in everything. Especially the various methods, as if they came out of nowhere, with no trace of anything related beforehand."
Yang Sheng opened the door and went to the small garden behind the study. The eunuch kept bending down and followed behind.
"There is also an echo from the Special Cases Department. We have obtained the bone-strengthening pill, and the bell that can trap the spirit clan that we found in the hands of the demon species before. It seems that we want a lot from that Zhang Yan.
You are in charge of the Special Cases Division, and you know these things best. What are you going to do with that Zhang Yan?" Yang Sheng stopped as he spoke and turned to look at the eunuch following behind him.
"Reply to Your Majesty. The message sent back by Special Case Division Shen Wujiu was extremely horrifying. According to what he saw, Zhang Yan's method of dealing with the Spirit Tribe was far more terrifying than the killing methods he showed in Langyuan City. In addition, The bell I took out at the back seems to be some way to increase my strength through the spirit clan."
"Hmm?! Are you sure?" Yang Sheng interrupted the other person's words and sounded a little surprised. This seemed to be another judgment that was beyond his cognition.
"The slave is also speculating, and I dare not make a conclusion. However, based on the analysis of Zhang Yan's life in recent years, it is difficult to rule out the slave's guess."
"Tell me more details."
"It's your Majesty. Zhang Yan was involved in a murder case three years ago and almost had to be executed. But by luck, the Yubei Mountain Fortress was in urgent need of criminal soldiers. So he was able to avoid death for the time being and traveled all the way to Chonglan County. After that, he started to abandon his life. He developed abilities that were completely unrelated to his original life experience. Whether it was the Kongming Lantern or the Bagua Formation, these were the reasons why he gained credit for his achievements at that time and was eventually exonerated.
Now that I think about it, the names of Kongming Lantern and Bagua Formation still follow Zhang Yan's current style, which makes people feel very weird.
During the time he was in Yubei Mountain, he could be said to have experienced life and death several times. His strength was a little stronger than ordinary people, but far from being comparable to warriors. After Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City, he never showed any killing methods. .Until a few months ago at the auction house, he directly killed two Hundred Refining Realm masters.
How could ordinary means turn an ordinary person into such a powerful person in just three years? The only way I can think of is that the Spirit Clan could strengthen itself by devouring other forces. This may be why Zhang Yan came up with that kind of power. The strange bell came and asked the special case department and the demon species to help him catch the spirit tribe, and they were even willing to use the bone-strengthening pill in exchange."
That is to say, Zhang Yan is not here, otherwise he would have jumped up and applauded when he heard the other party's words. Although the other party did not guess correctly, he was not far from the correct answer. The difference is that Zhang Yan did not Devouring, but transcending. His benefits are not derived from ghosts, but from the world of the Desolate Heaven Realm.
"Speaking of which, if your guess is correct, then Zhang Yan will continue to become stronger quickly with the help of the Special Cases Division and the demon species?"
"Yes, that's what the slave thinks."
Yang Sheng nodded slightly and continued to walk in the small garden. But he couldn't help but feel awkward in his heart. In the past, if he met a talent with great potential like Zhang Yan, if he hadn't been snatched away by the Jiangwu Academy, then Nanyuan Kingdom would It must be grasped no matter what. But this Zhang Yan makes Yang Sheng feel that he has no way to start. He has to rely on the other party to tide over the difficulties in a short period of time, so he cannot act rashly. In the long run, the other party may grow to Nanyuan Kingdom. To the point of being unable to move.
The eunuch followed Yang Sheng for a while and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, there have been changes in Huayue recently. Several urgent reports have been sent to Huayue. It seems that there are arrangements. It has reached this point now. If you only place your hope on the bone-strengthening pill, you still feel unsafe. After all, even if everything goes well, Hua Yue doesn't know the situation of Prince Qing, but Prince Qing can only reach the middle stage of the Hundred Refining Realm. What if Guo Yulong has Even if those talented princes from Huayue were summoned with an early warning, the situation would still be unsolvable.
So I think you can really try Princess Qingling's method and ask Zhang Yan to come to Yuanding Imperial City and lend him a helping hand?"
Yang Sheng paused again, looked at the eunuch behind him with a half-smile, and said, "By the way, I can let you test his depth, right?"
