Chapter 395: Control the Queen! Play Against the Emperor!
Jiang Che has never been a gentleman. He believes in retribution.
He knew that with the previous conflict, it would be impossible for Ji Changsheng and his son to resolve their grudges with him, and he was not a fool, and he could endure being beaten.
What he wants is tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
It's just that because he first arrived in the capital, the news channels have not yet been opened. Although Chen Qingfang is helping him in the black office, he cannot completely guarantee that the other party is on his side.
Always looking for opportunities.
And now, from Lu Jieyun's mouth, he found it.
As long as he has something that can control Ji Changsheng's mother and son, he will definitely make them regret provoking him.
Of course, one of the most important reasons for this is that Jiang Che is taking precautions and preparing for the next sacrifice in advance.
Seeing Jiang Che agreeing to this matter, Lu Jieyun smiled. He knew that Jiang Che was not the type to let go of grudges. Looking at it now, it was indeed the case, and it was not in vain for him to reveal some secrets.
Yes, secret.
He has the memory of the future and knows that Ji Changsheng will definitely lose in the end and lose the qualification to seize the throne, so before, he didn't care at all about Ji Changsheng snubbing him.
On the contrary, there was a bit of schadenfreude.
As for why Ji Changsheng lost the qualification to seize the throne, it was of course because of a scandal that broke out later, that is, Ji Changsheng's princess was actually a backbone of the Qingtian Sect.
Regardless of whether Ji Changsheng did anything detrimental to the interests of the imperial court, as soon as this scandal came out, he would be completely eliminated from the throne.
It's just that he originally didn't want to interfere in too many things, but in order to win over Jiang Che, he still risked his life.
"Brother Jiang, don't be anxious. This matter needs long-term consideration. The Northern Barbarian envoy is in the capital now, so it is impossible to take action. There are too many strong people in the capital. Once we take action, you and I will not be able to get out.
They have to wait until they leave the capital and return to the Northern Barbarians, which is the most appropriate time. "
Lu Jieyun's eyes sparkled.
"If the Northern Barbarian envoy returns, how can he trace his whereabouts?"
It was impossible for Jiang Che to stay in the capital all the time. He still had his own things to do, and judging from the time, it was completely late.
"Leave this issue to me, and I will let you know when it's time to take action."
The reason why Lu Jieyun joined the imperial court was not only to seek asylum, but also to have an identity to participate in the upcoming great changes in the world. Moreover, many things had already changed.
He will not be completely superstitious about the memories in his mind, and will try his best to find out everything during this period of time.
Jiang Che nodded slightly, agreed with Lu Jieyun's approach, and then said:
"Brother Lu asked about Senior Scarlet Blood just now. Could it be that he wanted to find someone to deal with the two venerables among the Northern Barbarian envoys?" Jiang Che couldn't help but look at him and asked.
"Yes, among the Northern Barbarian envoys, except for Zha Gumu, the other two have the strength of the late-stage divine phase. It is difficult for an ordinary person to intercept and kill them. And if Brother Jiang can recruit a late-stage divine phase, His Holiness.
Coupled with the Venerable Lu's side, this way, everything will be foolproof. "
Lu Jieyun didn't trust many people in the capital, and Jiang Che was the one who caught his eye. Although the relationship between the two parties was not close, he felt some of Jiang Che's temperament.
It was precisely because he was sure that he did that.
Jiang Che suddenly realized.
At the same time, it also confirmed some of the guesses in my mind.
Lu Jieyun is indeed not an ordinary person. No wonder he was able to refuse so many invitations before. This is entirely because he has the confidence to have a late-stage venerable figure as his backer.
He does have the confidence to say no.
"Then what Brother Lu said about Ji Changsheng's mother and son, is he referring to"
"This matter will be kept under wraps for the time being. It's not easy to reveal it yet, but Brother Jiang, don't worry. After this incident, no matter whether it succeeds or not, Lu will hand over the news."
Lu Jieyun was not stupid, so it was impossible for him to reveal all his trump cards now.
Jiang Che nodded when he heard this. Although he was a little disappointed, he could understand Lu Jieyun's thoughts and could only put aside his concerns about Ji Changsheng's mother and son for the time being.
The Qingtian Sect takes the helm.
King Sky Eagle stood on a steep mountain with his hands behind his back, exuding an extremely ferocious aura. Standing there, he looked like a ferocious beast.
Chuhe stood behind him and bowed:
"I've met the Dharma King."
"The Purple Dragon Dharma King has sent a message. Jiang Che has made an agreement with Yin Chonghai to go to the True Dragon Ruins together in three days." Nangong Ji did not look back.
"real?!"
Chuhe immediately looked happy.
He has been waiting for this day for too long, and he can't wait to have Jiang Che kneel in front of him, surrender to him, admit defeat to him, and lose the shame that he once lost.
Get them all back one by one.
"I have called you here to prepare to leave for the East China Sea."
"I see."
"However, you should not be careless. I think you have heard about the battle over in the capital. The young prince of the Northern Barbarians, Zha Gumu, was defeated by Jiang Che in Yanglong Pond.
Are you really confident you can win? "
This time, Nangong Ji turned away, his eyes unusually deep.
"The reason why Zakumu lost to Jiang Che was not because he was weak, but because before Jiang Che made a move, Lu Jieyun had already fought with him for a long time, and even almost ended in a draw.
I'm actually not surprised that Lu Jieyun was able to fight Zakumu to this point, and that Jiang Che could win. "
Although Chu He didn't know Jiang Che's strength, he had personally experienced Lu Jieyun's methods. The overall evaluation was that he was acceptable and qualified to be his opponent, but he would definitely not be able to last long in his hands.
Inferring from this, he had actually estimated Jiang Che's strength to a high degree.
Of course, this does not mean that he underestimated Jiang Che. In fact, in order to defeat Jiang Che head-on, he made a lot of preparations and even used some secret techniques to forcibly improve his cultivation and strength.
Just in case.
Now, he felt that he was fully prepared.
Just waiting for the fight, Jiang Che can learn what the Holy Body of Martial Arts is and what it means to be a true peerless genius.
"Although I have never witnessed this battle, according to some rumors, Jiang Che has made great progress. Zha Gumu entered the Central Plains from the northern border and has not suffered a single defeat in nearly ten battles.
It can be seen that he is very powerful, but he still lost to Jiang Che. I suspect that he may have entered the realm of unity between man and nature. When the fight comes, if you see something wrong, withdraw immediately and don't act on impulse. "
Although the power of the Qingtian Sect in the capital is weak, it is not without it. As long as Jiang Che takes action, some clues will be speculated, and the realm of unity between man and nature is one of them.
"Unity of man and nature? How is it possible? Absolutely impossible!"
Chu He understood what the unity of heaven and man meant, and simply did not believe that Jiang Che had such a terrifying understanding. He felt that it was just spreading lies. After all, Jiang Che had not long since entered the realm of the divine form.
It's almost impossible to do this.
In contrast, he was more inclined to think that Jiang Che only had a deeper understanding of the situation, which caused some people to misjudge, rather than truly stepping into the unity of heaven and man.
"In this world, nothing is impossible. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Chu He, you are the holy son of my Qingtian Sect. If you are disdainful of an opponent who has defeated you before.
Do you think there is still hope for you? "
Nangongji frowned, a little dissatisfied with Chu He's overconfidence.
As a warrior, you should overcome obstacles and respect martial arts instead of contempt.
"I'm not disdainful, I'm just confident that I can defeat him." Chu He stood behind Nangong Ji, his voice loud and full of ultimate confidence.
"In that case, I want to see if you really have this strength. Let's go. Go to the East China Sea with me." Nangong Ji had no intention of arguing.
Everything needs to speak for itself with strength.
Who is stronger and weaker between Chu He and Jiang Che can decide the outcome in a single battle.
Beijing.
At this moment, many people are still immersed in the battle between Jiang Che and Zakumu. Various news are circulating, pushing the aftermath of the battle to its peak moment.
Among them, the most uncomfortable thing, apart from the Northern Barbarian envoys, was Ji Changsheng's mother and son. Originally, Empress Xue wanted to use this battle to weaken Jiang Che's status in the emperor's heart as much as possible.
But in the end, Jiang Che's performance in this battle was so perfect that all their words and grievances could only be buried in their hearts.
In addition, the previous banquet incident directly became a laughing stock and a stepping stone for Jiang Che.
However, Jiang Che didn't pay too much attention to these. At this moment, he already had confidence in handling the mother and son, so he would not waste too much energy on them.
After a while, everything will settle down.
In the Imperial Garden.
The eyes of Jiang Che and Queen Xue intertwined with each other, with a hint of coldness flashing through them. Xue Baiyi glanced at Jiang Che indifferently, raised her chin, and walked past Jiang Che with a noble gesture.
But in public, Jiang Che did not dare to be too presumptuous and bowed his head in salute.
Seeing this scene, Queen Xue's lips curved into a sneer.
So what if your talents are unlimited and your reputation is extremely high?
Don't you still bow your head in front of her?
The fragrant wind blew across his cheeks, but Jiang Che's heart was not touched at all. He glanced at Queen Xue's plump back, narrowed his eyes, turned around and walked straight into the imperial garden.
At this moment, in the Imperial Garden.
Emperor Yuankang and Imperial Master Yaoyue were playing chess in a solemn atmosphere.
"Jiang Che, a humble minister, has met His Majesty."
Jiang Che first bowed to Emperor Yuankang, then turned to Yao Yue and bowed:
"I've met the Imperial Master."
Scanning Yao Yue's appearance, Jiang Che slowly lowered his eyes and did not stare at her all the time. However, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind that this Imperial Master was a little too beautiful.
The figure is not bad, similar to Qi Ningbing, but he has a face that brings disaster to the country and the people, and his indifferent eyes seem to be uninterested in everything.
This was the first time Jiang Che met Yao Yue. He had only heard of her name before, but had never seen her real body. He thought it was because of rumors or because of her identity that she had received excellent reviews.
But now he knew it was all true.
There is no boasting from the outside world.
No wonder the emperor did not enter the harem for twenty years, but concentrated on cultivating Taoism with the imperial master. The average emperor really could not withstand such a test.
"Jiang Qing is dead."
Emperor Yuankang waved his hand and motioned to the waiters around him to seat Jiang Che.
"Why do you want to go back suddenly?"
Ji Wenhao asked directly.
The reason why he summoned Jiang Che was because Jiang Che filed a document saying that he wanted to go back.
"I have finished what I should do in the capital, but my wife is waiting in the south. I want to go back and take them to live in the capital." This is Jiang Che's excuse.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why he suddenly wants to go back.
It seems that the emperor does not give him the authority.
Originally, he wanted to leave quietly, but who knew that the emperor actually valued him so much and summoned him to the palace for questioning.
Yao Yue's indifferent eyes fell on Jiang Che. While examining him, she was recalling some of Ji Chengdao's comments on Jiang Che before, but on the surface, there was no sign of her abnormality.
"After you go back, you must come back as soon as possible. You are my right-hand man. If it weren't for you, the court would have a hard time facing the provocation of the northern barbarian envoys."
"This is what I should do."
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. When you took action yesterday, the pressure you exuded made me feel a little familiar. Is it the dragon's power?" Emperor Yuan Kang asked casually.
It seems ordinary, but her eyes are staring at Jiang Che.
It seems that he can see through it completely.
Jiang Che's heart moved, and he guessed that he might have violated some taboos, and hurriedly explained:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the method I practiced is the Xuantian Dragon Transformation Technique of Zhenhai Palace. I was lucky enough to refine some dragon essence and blood, so I have a trace of dragon power."
"Oh, that's it."
Emperor Yuankang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"I have heard that you have a section of the dragon vein of Nanyue. Is this true?"
"Slander, Your Majesty, this is all slander by the thieves of Nanyue. I made a big fuss in Nanyue, but Nanyue couldn't do anything to me, so they used this method to frame me."
Emperor Yuankang is different from Ji Chengdao. The latter can see through him and his own strength is unfathomable. Although the former is also very powerful, his identity is the emperor.
He will never admit that he owns this thing.
Emperor Yuan Kang smiled faintly, but under his robe, he passed a trace of power into the jade seal, wanting to use it to test Jiang Che. The dragon vein is formed by the convergence of national destiny.
It is related to the jade seal, which suppresses national destiny.
As long as Jiang Che carries it with him, no matter what is shielded, he can be sensed. This is also the most important reason why he summoned Jiang Che specifically, but it lasted for several breaths.
The jade seal did not move at all.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that he might have guessed wrong. His eyes moved, and he smiled as usual:
"You don't need to explain, Marquis Guanjun. I trust you. I just asked casually. Come and play a game with me, let me see how good you are at chess."
