Astral Apostle

   Chapter 250 Complaints and Disapproval

   Zhou Jing went north to return to Beijing, except for an interception in the middle, the rest of the time was smooth sailing without any turbulence.

   When he returned to the capital, he immediately alerted the court and the opposition, and was immediately summoned by the emperor to the palace.

   Palace, Imperial study.

   Zhou Jing followed the chamberlain into the room and greeted the emperor who was writing calligraphy.

   "For the poor way, see the Holy One."

   "The real person can be counted back, and it looks like a lot of reduction."

  The emperor hurriedly put down his pen, looked up and down, and spoke in a friendly tone.

   He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Immortal Yufeng was unscathed, with all limbs intact, but also found that the other party's cheeks seemed to have lost some weight, and his face was a little unhealthy pale.

   "With His Majesty Lao's thoughts, the poor road can only be saved from danger, but it's a pity that the tree can't be supported and I can't get back to the sky."

   Zhou Jing sighed deliberately.

  The emperor comforted and comforted: "The real person does not need to belittle yourself. I have heard of the magic and magical powers you have displayed on the front line. This battle is not with you, it is all because of Lu Longchuan's lack of control."

   Zhou Jing shook his head: "If it weren't for the impoverished Daoist being assassinated by someone, his body was poisoned, and it was difficult for him to use his supernatural powers, then he wouldn't let that Chen Feng act madly and break Lu to lead the army."

  The emperor's eyes flashed, not surprised.

   He has been informed by spies and learned some inside information about the defeat, including the fact that someone poisoned Master Yufeng. It's just that most of these news are learned from the collapsed soldiers, and it is difficult to confirm the authenticity and whether there is an exaggeration.

   He summoned Zhou Jing into the palace immediately. In addition to showing great importance, he also wanted to ask first-hand information from those who witnessed it.

The    emperor knew what to do, but he still put on a look of surprise and asked, "Who murdered the immortal master? What's the inside story?"

   "Someone bought the soldiers of Tianwangzhai and poisoned my food..."

   Zhou Jing talked about the process of the incident and made clear his attitude, that is, he came to complain.

   Although he wants to create an image of the world, he can be targeted repeatedly, but he does not have any temperament. Even if he appears to be aloof, he will be too weak to be bullied.

   He had already decided that he would file a complaint when he came back this time, expressing his dissatisfaction, and letting the ministers know that he was not a "true master of the world" who was foolish enough to use it.

   "Can the real person be completely detoxified now?" The emperor's tone was concerned.

   Zhou Jing nodded:

   "Pin Dao is suppressed by mana, and then supplemented with Jiedu Dan Pills, to finally eliminate toxins. It's just that the poison is violent. Although Pin Dao has recovered, it is like the beginning of a serious illness. The body is still a little weak and needs to nourish for some time."

   "As long as there is nothing wrong with the real person, I will send the imperial chef to cook a large tonic herbal meal every day to help the real person recover quickly."

After the    emperor showed concern, he said solemnly:

   "This matter will not be tolerated by the widow, and will definitely find out who poisoned and murdered, and give justice to the real person."

   Zhou Jing interjected:

"About the people behind the scenes, Pindao has some eyebrows. On the way back, Pindao met a group of masked men and killed them. After subduing the assassins, he asked that they were all followers of Yuding Sect. Someone put the blame on it or it is true, and simply brought these assassins back to Beijing to serve as witnesses."

   He doesn't play empty games at all.

  The emperor was taken aback for a moment, his brows furrowed tightly: "Is this true?"

   "Poor Daoists never lie."

boom!

  The emperor slapped the table angrily, knocking the pen holder off.

   "What a bunch of scoundrels and thieves, how dare they act so recklessly! Don't worry, I will order these assassins to be sent to the Heavenly Prison, sent to Dali Temple for interrogation, and we will find out."

   He saw that Zhou Jing was going to invite his teacher to ask for guilt, so he showed such an attitude to appease the other party, but he was really angry in his heart.

  When Ning Zhongjun went to the front line to kill the real Yufeng, the emperor knew that the Yuding Sect was targeting.

   However, the emperor is generally happy to see the open and secret battles between his courtiers. Otherwise, how can he sit on a high platform as a judge.

   Yudingjiao's thoughts at that time could not be concealed from his eyes, but he had the guarantee of Zhou Jing's survival, and he allowed this matter after thinking about it. Later, letting Master Yufeng be promoted in Sitianjian was a knock on Yudingjiao.

However, the emperor did not expect that the Yuding Sect ignored the warning and dared to do such an outrageous act. This really annoyed him.

   For this little selfish gain, he had to kill the real Yufeng regardless of the overall situation of the bandit suppression, which indirectly led to the failure of this expedition.

   It seems that the widow has been too indulgent to Yuding Sect over the years...

  The thought flashed through the emperor's mind.

   At this time, Zhou Jing had a sullen face and deliberately said: "Poor Daoist asks himself that he has not made enemies in the court, and if he is targeting me like this, I don't know if he is simply trying to get rid of me, or has ulterior motives."

   He didn't say too much, just clicked, but the subtext was also expressed - the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill me, maybe he wanted to prevent me from nourishing my body and prolonging my life for Your Majesty, with bad intentions.

The    emperor naturally understood, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

   Of course he understood that Zhou Jing was taking advantage of the topic, but these words still hit his sensitive point, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

   After a wave of fierce complaints, Zhou Jing did not continue to hold back, but instead talked about other details of the war.

   After listening for a while, the emperor couldn't help but ask: "Zhenzhen, what do you think of this man when you fought against Chen Feng this time?"

   Zhou Jing paused, shook his head and said:

"Ning Zhongjun said that Chen Feng was an evil dragon, which is really absurd. From a poor Taoist point of view, this Chen Feng is a mortal body, but he is gifted with extraordinary talents. That's how you have the courage to be inappropriate."

  The emperor was a little worried when he heard the words: "When martial arts are practiced to the realm of transformation, can they really reach this level?"

   In his impression, martial arts is a crude skill, capable of fighting dozens of people alone at most, and his skills will decline as he grows older.

Zhou Jing paused and said: "Pin Dao is not very clear, but since Chen Feng can surpass the vast majority of warriors in the world, he must have his own uniqueness. With the magical powers granted by immortals, Pin Dao can stand against him in court. It’s not easy, and I don’t know if there are people in this world who can match it.”

  The emperor's face changed and he was silent.

   After a while, he opened his mouth and said slowly:

   "Lu Longchuan was defeated, but Chen Feng can't ignore it. The court has decided to send troops to fight. Pang Shumi named him to go out to contain Chen Feng. I wonder what the real person thinks?"

  After this battle, Yufeng Zhenren has proved his combat effectiveness, which is enough to match Chen Feng, so the emperor is not as worried as last time.

   And this time, the court personally sent troops. He was concerned about Chen Feng's bravery, for fear that the court army would follow in the footsteps, so he couldn't help but think of letting the real man go on the expedition.

   After all, at present, only the real Yufeng in this world has the record of tying Chen Feng, and he has to continue to rely on it.

   Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Pin Dao's poisoning this time is detrimental to Dao's conduct. He should have rested for a year and a half, but His Majesty has ordered, and Pin Dao will naturally obey."

   This trip showed combat effectiveness and was regarded by the imperial court as an important weapon against Chen Feng. He would send himself to battle in the future. This was all within Zhou Jing's expectations, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

   He just came back, and suddenly he wants to go out again. He is not very happy, but he still expresses his position. As long as the emperor sends him to go out, he will not disobey.

   After all, the emperor took the initiative to insert enemy traitors into the army, how could he mind.

   But the emperor hesitated, shook his head and said, "It's the widow who's anxious, the real person is recovering well, let's discuss this matter again."

   After a pause, he slowed down and said:

   "You have made great contributions, and I will reward you for your merits. Regarding the assassin's affairs, I will also have someone to investigate carefully. The real person should go back to rest first."

   "Thank you, Lord Longen."

   Zhou Jing saluted politely and calculated in his heart.

   He wasn't sure how the emperor would punish the Jade Tripod Sect, but he thought that the emperor's behavior of building the Son of Heaven's view needed the theoretical support of the Jade Tripod Sect, so the punishment would be highly likely to be reserved, and would not directly kill Ning Zhongjun's group.

   But it doesn't matter, it's just a trick to complain by yourself, and Chen Feng is still needed to counterattack.

  Violence is the most direct solution. No matter how well the Yuding Sect is in the court, let's go straight to pull the mountain gate for you, and build it again and again in the future.

  Chen Feng also has reasons... You, the headmaster of Yuding Sect, openly declared that your master is a villain, and slandered me like this, making you a famous teacher, right?

  …

   Sitian prison.

  Ning Zhongjun's face sinks like water, Yin Nan's face is panic.

   "That Lingfengzi actually survived, this is not good... Headmaster, what should we do?"

   Yin Nan's tone was anxious.

  Ning Zhongjun did not answer, his face became more and more gloomy, and he was secretly annoyed that his subordinates were not doing well.

   Even with a few ultimate moves, he failed to kill this Lingfengzi, and even let him come back with information. This is bad news for Jade Cauldron Sect.

  Ning Zhongjun didn't know what to do at this time.

  At the feet of the emperor, he did not dare to continue to act out of line.

   Even if he regretted sending someone to assassinate Ling Fengzi now, he was just an afterthought when he realized that things didn’t work out.

   If it happens again, Ning Zhongjun will still try his best to get rid of this rival.

  'I don't know how much Ling Fengzi knows...'

  Ning Zhongjun couldn't help but feel regret, fear, anxiety and other emotions, all stemmed from uncertainty whether Lingfengzi knew about the mastermind behind the scenes, and how much information this person would reveal to the emperor.

   But even if he was worried, he could only wait for the result.

   At this moment, his subordinates announced that a court attendant had arrived and brought the emperor's decree.

  Ning Zhongjun and Yin Nan hurried to meet him, and brought a cadre down to the gate of Sitian Prison to greet him.

   This old servant in the house was looking at the two of them, and said:

"The sage has a decree, the Sitian Supervisor has the responsibility of observing the weather, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders. Ning Jianzheng, Your Majesty thinks that you are busy with your work, and you will not have to go to court every day in the future. Hajj."

The voice of    fell, and everyone present breathed for a while, with expressions of shock on their faces.

  Si Tianjian actually did not have the need to go to the court every day, because the emperor favored him, so Ning Zhongjun has always been qualified for the daily pilgrimage.

   Now that the emperor has taken back his power and sent it back to Master Yufeng, the signal is too obvious.

   is a sign of falling out of favor!

  Ning Zhongjun's eyes darkened, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being sympathetic!"

  …

   On the other side, Lu Longchuan and his party walked into the city gate, all of them looking like a mess.

  "I don't know what the situation is when I return to Beijing this time..."

  Lu Longchuan's face was gloomy and his mood was waning.

   Ever since he was betrayed and separated by Chen Feng, he has been in this depressed state, with only Sun Rong and more than a dozen old brothers from the **** recruiting faction left beside him.

Because there were too many defeated soldiers in Tianwangzhai, not all of them were captured, so Lu Longchuan and others slowly gathered some of the defeated soldiers on the road, and re-raised a team of three to five thousand people. They are the only remaining soldiers and horses. The Beijing suburbs camp is on standby.

   Compared with the peak, the scale has undoubtedly shrunk significantly, and even some slightly larger hills can’t compare. Where is the scenery of the Northland before.

   Every time he thought of Chen Feng prying away a group of leaders, leaving only two or three big cats and dogs in the Tianwangzhai estate, Lu Longchuan felt sad and disheartened.

Sun Rong sighed and said slowly: "I'm waiting for the imperial court to suppress the bandits, and I have spent all my family's business. Most of the imperial court still has to deal with our sins. Alas, I just hope that Your Majesty will open up and let us have the opportunity to make a contribution to the crime. After the soldiers and horses, most of us are abandoned sons at the Qin Prime Minister's place, but fortunately I heard that the real person is fine and has already returned to Beijing.

   They had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to Beijing. As an example of being recruited, if they fell again, there was only a dead end, and although they were guilty of defeat, there was always a chance.

  In Sun Rong's view, if he loses his wealth, he becomes a toothless tiger... but it is not a way out.

   If the real person is willing to speak nicely in front of the emperor, it will be more stable.

  Sun Rong knew very well that even though he was defeated in this battle, the real Yufeng had merits and faults, and his supernatural powers were so shocking that he would become an important figure enshrined in the imperial court in the future.

   And everyone fighting side by side this time, at least a little bit of camaraderie, they might not be able to hug the thigh of the real person and change a backer for themselves in the court.

   Anyway, everyone can only go to the dark on the road of the court eagle, so it is better to be a running dog under the real people.

  With the temperament of real people, everyone has friendship, so the chance of accepting them is not low.

only…

  Sun Rong looked at Lu Longchuan's unhappy, walking corpse-like appearance, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

   After a series of blows, Chen Feng was completely beaten. He was not sure if his boss could still cheer up.

  If you can't...then don't blame my brother for jumping ship.

  Sun Rong's eyes flashed slightly.

   He has always supported Zhaoan, but his intention is very simple. His goal is to become an official.

  Sun Rong felt that Lu Longchuan had lost the foundation of Tianwangzhai and continued to work, which would not help him much in his career.

   Although he was also recruited, and he has the imprint of Tianwangzhai, he does not have to be limited to this identity, and has been following the boss of the past.

   Countless Green Forest seniors who have successfully recruited in the past have already used their examples to illustrate that as long as you find the backer and Bole in the courtroom, you can jump out of this identity and make a fortune.

  Sun Rong felt the same for himself, and he might not be able to find another way out, get rid of the mess of Lulongchuan and Tianwangzhai, and change the development path in the court.

   And the real Yufeng, in his opinion, is a suitable object and one of the few choices at present.
