Chapter 1201 A Show of Strength

The big man was considered a high-ranking expert, but after being choked by Zhang Jun, he was unable to move and could only rely on punches. Seeing that Zhang Jun's fist was about to fall, Da Sima snorted: "That's enough!"

Zhang Jun stopped his fist and looked back. Da Sima was standing not far away, staring at him coldly, and he asked: "If someone hits me, I will naturally hit him back. Isn't it Da Sima?"

A minister stood up and said sternly: "Marquis Juntian, you are Marquis Yun now, and you are also a person of status. How can you fight with others outside the Golden Light Palace? Do you know who the person you choked is?"

Zhang Jun was moved in his heart and asked: "I don't care who he is, if he hits me, I will hit him."

The minister sneered: "This man's surname is Jiang and Tai Sui. He is the grandson of Da Sima and the nephew of Queen Jiang. Queen Jiang has always loved him very much. If you dare to hit him, aren't you afraid of the Queen's reproach?"

"Queen Jiang?" Zhang Jun stood up and sneered, "No wonder the Jiang family is so arrogant. It turns out that the Queen is backing them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he punched Jiang Taisui in the nose, causing blood to fly and most of his teeth to fall out. This move shocked everyone present, and Da Sima turned pale with anger: "You are so bold!"

Zhang Jun wiped the blood from his fist and said calmly: "He has the support of the queen, but I have the support of your majesty. What should I be afraid of?"

As soon as this statement came out, no one dared to say another word. Regardless of whether Zhang Jun really had the support of Emperor Xia behind him, everyone could feel the heavy weight of these words as soon as he said them. Furthermore, Zhang Jun had just made a meritorious service and had become a Marquis of Yun at a young age. His future achievements were limitless, so maybe Emperor Xia would really try his best to train him.

The big man was beaten extremely badly. At this moment, Zhang Jun was stepping on his chest, unable to move. Hearing this, he shouted: "I won't let you go!"

Zhang Jun raised his foot and broke the opponent's leg with a "click". Jiang Taisui was a strong man at the Taoist level. His body was a hundred times stronger than gold and iron, but he couldn't withstand Zhang Jun's casual kick. He suddenly let out another miserable howl. The body of a cultivator is strong and rarely injured, but once injured, the pain is far beyond that of ordinary people and is unbearable.

"Marquis Zhang Yun, it's getting late. Are you interested in following me to the tea garden?"

At this time, a voice sounded. It was the Dali Qing Ji Wenshan who spoke. He did not know when he stood behind Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun also knew to give up when he was ready. If he really wanted to kill the person in front of him, it would not end well. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Ji invites you, how dare I not go?"

After the two left, the officials quickly helped Jiang Taisu up. Da Sima's face was ugly, and someone beside him said: "Da Sima, this boy is so arrogant. He actually doesn't take Da Sima in his eyes at all, let alone the Jiang family and Empress Jiang!"

Da Sima said expressionlessly: "Let's all disperse." After saying that, he strode down the steps.

The tea garden is not just a garden for drinking tea, it is a place within the palace dedicated to the leisure and entertainment of princes and ministers. The area of ​​​​the tea garden is not large, and it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Inside, you can drink wine, drink tea, play chess, listen to music, and even call some beautiful girls from the "Furong Tower".

Zhang Jun entered the tea garden, looked around curiously, and said with a smile: "This is a good place. The ministers really know how to enjoy it."

Ji Wenshan said: "The tea garden was built under the order of Emperor Xia."

Zhang Jun nodded. This Xia Emperor was indeed able to win people's hearts. When his ministers lived comfortably, they were naturally willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

Not long after entering the park, Ji Wenshan invited Zhang Jun to a restaurant called "Shixian Tower". Zhang Jun didn't really care about what he ate. When his cultivation reached his level, he basically stopped touching the human world. If he wanted to eat, he would take elixirs and spiritual fruits. But when the waiter served the food, he was shocked.

The first dish is braised dragon horn. This dish is made from the horns of newly born dragons, braised in fat from exotic beasts and oxen, and added with some precious herbs. Zhang Jun took a piece and it melted in his mouth. It was so wonderful that he couldn't help but praise: "It tastes good!"

Ji Wenshan said: "There are four grand finale dishes in this Shixian restaurant, and this braised dragon horn is just one of them. Don't overeat, there are more good ones later."

Sure enough, the stir-fried phoenix gallbladder, steamed arowana, and pan-fried flying bear paws were served one after another. Each dish was delicious and wonderful, and its effectiveness was comparable to the low-grade World Pill. Although the dishes are good, they are also expensive. For these four dishes, the store collected five million spiritual crystals, which is enough for an ordinary family in Daxia to spend ten times more.

After taking a bite of each dish, Zhang Jun sighed: "It's really luxurious."

Ji Wenshan said calmly: "The Daxia family has a big business, so what does eating this little thing mean? As long as you have the ability, you can eat something ten or a hundred times more precious than this every day."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "What does Brother Ji want to say?"

Ji Wenshan looked at him and said: "Your performance in the court today was a bit excessive. Although you have the support of the fifth prince, your foundation is still shallow after all, so it is not appropriate to be so showy."

Zhang Jun said: "If others don't mess with me, I won't mess with others. Although the big Sima and the Jiang family behind him are powerful, I'm not afraid. On the contrary, I feel that Emperor Xia may not be unhappy if someone like me comes to disrupt the situation. "

Ji Wenshan shook his head: "It seems that you don't understand Daxia yet. Daxia is not the world of Emperor Xia, but the world of the five great families."

Zhang Jun frowned: "Five major families?"

"The four major aristocratic families, plus the royal family, are not the five major aristocratic families?" Ji Wenshan said, "Even Emperor Xia doesn't think it's a big deal, because the four major aristocratic families have that kind of strength. You didn't see the queen, concubines, As well as the generals in the army and the high officials in the court, five or six out of ten are from the four major aristocratic families or the recommendation of the four major aristocratic families? "

Zhang Jun fell silent and asked after a moment: "Isn't Emperor Xia worried?"

"Why are you worried? The royal family is the strongest. As long as it can maintain a balanced situation, Daxia will still belong to the Si family on the surface." Ji Wenshan said.

Zhang Jun bit off a piece of dragon horn and said, "After all, the fists still speak."

"You're on to the point. Whoever has the big fist will be justified. If you hadn't just been granted the title today, Da Sima would most likely take action himself. He is very powerful and has refined ninety-nine stars. , I’m afraid you are no match.”

During the conversation, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Ji Wenshan frowned, slapped the table, and shouted: "Store!"

Naturally, the store owner did not dare to offend Dali Qing, who was in charge of judicial and prison matters, so he came up in a hurry and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Who is yelling outside? What happened?"

The shop owner lowered his voice and said, "Back to you, sir. It was Mr. Che Zheng who bought a strange stone with 100 billion spiritual crystals at the 'Qishi Garden'. On the way back, Mrs. Che Zheng surrounded and cursed her. She must have felt sorry for the 100 billion." "

Ji Wenshan sighed and said: "This 100 billion, I'm afraid it is all his belongings, and he lost it all at once, no wonder Mrs. Che Zheng went crazy." He waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to leave.

Zhang Jun asked strangely: "Where is Qishiyuan? Is it also a place where people gamble on stones?"

Ji Wenshan nodded and said: "Actually, in the Yuan Stone Trading Conference some time ago, not many high-level Yuan Stones actually participated. On the contrary, it is the Qishi Garden next to the tea garden where it is easiest to buy good materials." He further explained to Zhang Jun.

"Among the Yuan stones, there are several types of stones that are unique. The first type of Yuan stone naturally has strange signs. It is easier to see its historical use and is called a strange stone. The price of strange stones is very high, and it is generally only available to nobles and princes. Only ministers can afford it. The second type of Yuan Stone has an amazing aura, and even a blind person can see it. The "Great Heavenly Lord" sold by Emperor Xia a while ago is a King Stone, and there are many of them. On the Yuan Stone Ranking. However, the third type of 'divine stone' will almost certainly not appear on the Primordial Stone Ranking, because it is too precious. The so-called 'divine stone' can determine the destiny of all major forces. "

Zhang Jun felt itchy in his heart and asked: "What exactly is a sacred stone?"

"I don't know." Ji Wenshan shook his head, "The sacred stone has never been unlocked. Some people say that there may be a terrifying existence sealed inside. I have a sacred stone in Daxia, and it was given to the most secret place in the palace by Emperor Xia."

Zhang Jun was stunned. Emperor Xia enshrined a stone. How magical that stone must be!

At this moment, he couldn't sit still and asked: "Brother Ji, whose property is the Qishi Garden?"

"All the five major families are involved. However, Qishiyuan is just a trading platform. Many princes and ministers rent stalls there to do business. But after the transaction is successful, one-tenth of the commission must be paid." Ji Wenshan looked at Zhang Jun, "What, you want to take a look?"

"It's not about looking, it's about buying." Zhang Jun smiled brightly, "To be honest, I am very experienced in judging Yuan stones."

"Those who drown are those who know how to swim. I don't recommend that you go." Ji Wenshan shook his head with a look of helplessness on his face, "I have suffered a loss before, and 30 billion was wasted."

Zhang Jun pulled him up and said, "Let's go, you go with me."

Although Ji Wenshan said no, he actually wanted to see if Zhang Jun was really capable, so they pushed and shoved and the two of them arrived at Qishiyuan. The Qishi Garden is very large, with at least three to five thousand acres of land. It has pavilions, pavilions, flying bridges and corridors, and the scenery is very good.

As soon as Zhang Jun entered the garden, he saw a young man and woman walking side by side. He recognized the man among the two, it was Si Beiqiu, who seemed to have thoughts about Chu Chu. When he saw this person, he immediately frowned and felt disgusted in his heart.

Ji Wenshan noticed Zhang Jun's expression and said, "That's the tenth prince. Brother Zhang, don't you recognize him?"

"What about the woman?"

"Jiang Roubing from the Jiang family, Grand Sima's most beloved granddaughter. The tenth prince's biological mother was a maid. Although she was later canonized as a concubine, she never had much respect and was often bullied by other princes and princesses. His mother, Concubine Yi, has always been I want the tenth prince to marry Jiang Roubing in order to gain the support of the Jiang family and enhance the status of their mother and son in the royal family." Ji Wenshan, who has a clear family background, immediately told the whole story.

Zhang Jun nodded and said nothing more. He didn't ask the young man and woman any more questions, but took Ji Wenshan to a stall. The stall owner set up in a small pavilion, with only seven Yuan stones placed inside. These primeval stones each have their own characteristics, some emit brilliance, some reveal runes, some communicate with heaven and earth, and some have abnormal auras.

Zhang Jun took a quick look, pointed at one of the Yuan stones that was half a man's height and asked, "How much is this worth?"
