Chapter 382 God King Ji Chengdao!

Capital, black office.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Jiang Che did not choose to live elsewhere to avoid suspicion. Instead, he returned to the black office and waited for the summons from his patron, Ji Chengdao.

When Jiang Che met Emperor Yuankang Ji Wenhao for the first time, although Jiang Che couldn't see through him, he could still see some clues. Generally speaking, he felt that Emperor Yuankang was not worthy of his desperate allegiance in some matters.

Although he had expressed his loyalty to the other party, it was just a show of words.

There is no benefit, only a vain attempt, and you want him to serve?

It's completely impossible.

Like the patron king, he can still provide the sacrifices he needs.

"Now you have become a favorite. As soon as you arrived in the capital, not only did His Majesty personally summon you, but some prominent figures in the capital also sent you invitations."

Outside the door, Chen Qingfang, wearing a black official robe, walked in, holding a stack of invitations in his hand and placing them on the table.

"What they value probably is the reason why Jiang is favored by the God King." Jiang Che said as he casually opened the invitation card on the desk and took a few glances at it.

Among the more than ten invitations, most of them were from well-known forces in the capital. In addition, there were invitations from three princes. In their letters, they expressed their admiration for him.

I hope I can have a good time with him over wine and talk.

"You don't have to belittle yourself. Now you are not only a great master of divine appearance, but also a peerless genius who is expected to become a martial saint. These forces naturally want to be friends with you before you become a saint.

To plan for the future. "

"How do you think the envoy should respond to these invitations from the prince?" Jiang Che asked the question to the other party.

Chen Qingfang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"Nowadays, the battle for the throne is becoming more and more intense. Many forces secretly support the prince, but they are only small and medium-sized forces that want to take advantage of Dongfeng to reach a higher level.

At the same time, I dare not and cannot refuse the invitations from the princes, but the real big forces are aloof from outside. With your current status, it is actually best not to get involved with them.

No matter who becomes the prince in the future, or even ascends the throne and becomes emperor, they will not do anything to you. "

"Isn't that what the divine envoy said is wrong? As far as Jiang knows, the Taoist and Buddhist families seem to have come to an end, and each has a supporting prince." Jiang Che was not completely ignorant of the situation in the capital.

He has the Beiling Qi clan's own channels to help him obtain information.

"Taoist and Buddhist families." Chen Qingfang laughed, with a hint of wisdom in his eyes:

"That's just His Majesty's intention. Without Your Majesty's secret guidance, the Taoist and Buddhist families will not end up. As for the reason, it's better to think about it yourself."

"Could it be because of the God King?"

Jiang Che looked serious.

Chen Qingfang nodded: "The God King is the son of the late emperor, and he is the pillar of the royal family and even the imperial court. The reason why your majesty was able to defeat the former prince and ascend the throne as emperor.

In fact, the main reason is because of the tacit approval and support of the God King, but you should also know that the existence of the God King is a pillar for the imperial court.

But to His Majesty, it seems a bit annoying, so over the years, His Majesty has increasingly supported the Buddhist and Taoist families, and even let them get involved in the struggle for the throne.

It is to check and balance the existence of the God King. "

Jiang Che was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Qingfang would tell him these things. These things were absolutely secret and even secrets that could not be known to outsiders.

But Chen Qingfang seems to be a little too candid.

"Are you shocked?"

"Thanks to the envoy for the tip."

Jiang Che's eyes moved, and then he smiled.

"These things are indeed secrets to some people at the bottom, but most officials above the court understand this. The reason why I say this is to let you know the key.

In order to avoid being involved in the whirlpool when you first arrive in the capital, no matter what, I brought you into the capital, so I have to help you. "

"So, according to the wishes of the divine messenger, I should turn a blind eye?"

"This is the best choice. Of course, if you want to end up, it doesn't matter, as long as you consider the consequences, you can be considered a flag now, if you can support a certain prince.

It will definitely be a big help. If you can get the favor of the God King, then... hahaha. Maybe your support can really change the future crown prince.

Of course, you will also be suppressed by His Majesty because of this."

Chen Qingfang explained with a smile.

His words also made Jiang Che's understanding of the current situation more clear.

"Thank you, God!"

Jiang Che said with a very sincere fist.

"No need to say thank you, let's go. The God King has left seclusion and is waiting for you at Guantian Tower." Chen Qingfang stood up and prepared to take Jiang Che to the core area of ​​​​Heiya.

But Jiang Che was quite shocked when he heard these words.

In his original expectation, a retreat for a powerful warrior saint such as Ji Chengdao, the patron god king, would take a long time, and he was prepared to wait for several days.

As a result, just after he came back from the palace, Ji Chengdao happened to be out of seclusion.

Something is really wrong.

Jiang Che followed Chen Qingfang and walked towards the depths of the black office, but he was thinking about the weirdness of this matter in his heart. Soon, he vaguely guessed a possibility.

Perhaps Ji Chengdao had never been in seclusion, but was in the black office.

The reason why he was not received immediately was to let the emperor summon him first. He was giving the emperor a step down. Of course, it might also be a tacit understanding between Ji Chengdao and the emperor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che knew how to face Ji Chengdao.

The other party is indeed a powerful minister, with power over the government and the public, and he suppresses the emperor's existence. But at the same time, he is also a member of the Ji family and will maintain the emperor's majesty.

Jiang Che's mind was in a mess. On the one hand, he was thinking about Ji Chengdao, and on the other hand, he was speculating on the other person's personality. He was far more dignified than when he wanted to see the emperor before.

On the other side, Chen Qingfang was telling Jiang Che some things about the Heiya headquarters.

And, including some situations of Guantian Tower.

The Guantian Tower is the favorite place for the patron god king Ji Chengdao to live, and at the bottom of the building is the Black Yamen Prison, where many giant demon lords in the world are imprisoned.

Or maybe a strong alien.

It is also the most closely guarded place among the entire black yamen.

Originally, Jiang Che thought that the Guantian Tower would be a tall building. After all, how could he observe the sky if it was not tall? But after arriving in person, Jiang Che realized that he was wrong.

The so-called Guantian Tower has only three floors in total.

It's no more than ten feet high.

Although at first glance, it did reveal something extraordinary, it was still different from what he had imagined.

"disappointed?"

Chen Qingfang asked casually when he saw Jiang Che's eyes changing.

"No, it's just a little different from what I imagined."

Jiang Che said truthfully.

"This Sky Viewing Tower was built under the supervision of the God King himself and named it. It seems ordinary, but in fact, it is also ordinary. However, the God King said something that left a deep impression on me. ”

"What words?"

"The King of Gods said: 'Wherever I look, there is the world.'"

Walking into Guantian Tower, as Chen Qingfang said, there is nothing surprising. It does not look like a great palace, but more like a more ordinary place to live.

Of course, Jiang Che did not feel any contempt because of this, because he already knew that below the Guantian Tower was the Heiya Prison, and here lived a truly powerful man who could influence the situation in the world.

Step by step, step by step.

After a while, Jiang Che followed Chen Qingfang to the third floor. In the middle of the building, a pavilion was built. Inside the pavilion, there was a figure wearing a white robe sitting on his back.

"Father, Jiang Che brings him."

Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Qingfang bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

"Well, please step back first."

A calm voice came from the figure with his back turned.

"yes."

Chen Qingfang stood up, glanced at Jiang Che, then turned and left.

Jiang Che then bowed and saluted:

"My subordinate Jiang Che has met the God King."

"Subordinate? You don't seem to be my subordinate."

The white-clothed figure slowly turned around, revealing a face with an indifferent expression, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain an abyss. Other than that, everything about the other person seemed ordinary.

His body is neither strong nor thin, his appearance is not unusual, and he is not ugly either. The most special thing is the aura on his body.

If Jiang Che hadn't known that the other party was Ji Chengdao, he wouldn't have thought about him at all, because he didn't have the slightest pressure on him and was inferior to the emperor.

More like an ordinary middle-aged man.

Of course, Jiang Che knew that this was just an appearance. In fact, he couldn't see through the depth of the other party at all, and the other party didn't seem to put any pressure on him.

"Before the Battle of Wujing, Chen Shenshi once said that I was fighting on behalf of the Black Yamen, and he gave me the identity of the deputy envoy of the Black Yamen. That's why Jiang Che called himself a subordinate."

Ji Chengdao looked at Jiang Che with his eyes, a faint light escaping from his eyes, as if he could see through all Jiang Che's disguises with just one glance.

"Not bad, come on. Sit down."

"Thank God King."

Jiang Che thanked him and walked to sit opposite Ji Chengdao with a serious look on his face.

"Are you a little disappointed to see this king?"

"My subordinates dare not, because the divine king's power is restrained. When my subordinates look at it, they are like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

"Did you meet His Majesty when you entered the palace this time?"

"I've seen it before."

"What did His Majesty tell you?"

Ji Chengdao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty first gave his subordinates a warning and asked me why I came to Hei Yamen first. Then" Jiang Che said in detail, he told Emperor Yuan Kang to meet him, including talking and even drawing cakes.

All told.

"Hehehe"

Regarding his remarks, Ji Chengdao just smiled.

It's as if he didn't take it seriously at all, or it might be more accurate to have expected it.

"In your opinion, what is the difference between His Majesty and me?"

The smile on Ji Chengdao's face faded and he asked a very dangerous question.

If he were an ordinary person, he would naturally talk nonsense to others at this moment, talk nonsense to ghosts, belittle the emperor, and promote his patron Wang Ji Chengdao, which can be guessed from his journey just now.

Jiang Che understood that Ji Chengdao actually had no other thoughts.

When facing the emperor, he will not bully, but will maintain the emperor's majesty.

This sentence was testing his views on the emperor and even the royal family.

"Your Majesty's majesty is so majestic that my subordinates can't really see it. This is the first time I've seen the God King. I really don't dare to make any assumptions. I hope the God King will forgive me."

Jiang Che's mind changed quickly and he quickly answered.

"Then would you rather be loyal to His Majesty or to me?"

Ji Chengdao continued to ask.

"The God King is your Majesty's minister, and you are also your Majesty's minister. I must be loyal to your Majesty." Even though Ji Chengdao did not release the slightest pressure, Jiang Che still felt the pressure rushing towards him instantly.

And the reason for answering in this way is actually a trick.

Not belittling the emperor, but at the same time, putting Ji Chengdao before the emperor.

The implication is that because Ji Chengdao is loyal to the emperor, he is also loyal to the emperor.

The atmosphere around them instantly fell into silence, and after more than ten breaths, it was broken by Ji Chengdao. He smiled and raised his hand to pour a cup of spiritual tea for Jiang Che, like a close elder.

"I have actually been paying attention to you for a long time, long after you just made an engagement with Beiling Qi, but at that time, your potential was not revealed enough.

It was not until the battle on the border of Yuezhou that you really impressed me. The saying that a true dragon emerges from shallow water is true. After the battle of Wujing, you became famous all over the world.

I look at you as I look at myself in the past, but it is obvious that even I was not as talented as you are now."

"God King, you are too kind. I dare not."

"Don't be so reserved. I have hidden my pressure and put on ordinary clothes because I don't want to put too much pressure on you."

Although the other party said so, whoever believes this kind of thing is stupid. Now Jiang Che is not qualified to be presumptuous in front of the other party, so he naturally has to be respectful.

"It will take two days for the Northern Barbarian Prince to arrive in the capital. You can stay in the Black Court for the next few days. I will give you the Wind Spirit Divine Pearl later."

"Okay."

"Don't be too stressed. In fact, in my opinion, the Northern Barbarian Prince is not your opponent. The reason why I asked you to come here is just in case. Besides, I want to see you."

"Meet me?"

Jiang Che's eyes moved.

Ji Chengdao smiled, and then changed his tone and said:

"Before in Nanyue, you saved the Red Blood Demon Lord Lu Chenfeng, and he helped you resolve crises many times. I think the dragon vein in his hand should also be in your hands.

Can I take a look?"

Jiang Che's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he quickly came back to his senses and took out the dragon vein and handed it to the other party. In front of others, he would naturally not admit it.

But Ji Chengdao had said this, and he must have been sure of it. It would be inappropriate for him not to take it out.

After all, he had no right to refuse.

Ji Chengdao held the dragon vein in his hand, and a purple light emanated from his eyes. It lasted for several breaths before returning to calmness, as if to confirm something.

"Keep this thing and refine it into your body. Maybe you will have an opportunity in the future."

Ji Chengdao did not examine the dragon vein for too long, but gave Jiang Che a piece of advice.
