Chapter 394 The Secret of Peace Talks! Invitation to Intercept the Destiny!
With the Wind Spirit Divine Orb in hand, his purpose of coming to the capital this time has finally been achieved. Without wasting all his efforts, the next thing to do is to go to the East China Sea.
As long as he can get the True Dragon Treasure Medicine, he will be very close to breaking through to the Dharma Realm.
"You deserve this, no need to say thank you."
Ji Chengdao waved his hand and didn't care.
It was just a Wind Spirit Divine Pearl, but it was not taken seriously by him. The person who really valued him was Jiang Che.
"Next, you will stay in the capital for a while. I am already working on your official position. In addition, I have one more thing for you to handle."
Jiang Che showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes and said:
"If my subordinate can leave the capital for a while, I will definitely come back within a month."
With the true dragon ruins in front of him, Jiang Che didn't want to delay for too long, because he had now received a message from Zhao Xianzhi, saying that she had completely stabilized her realm and could go to the East China Sea at any time.
At the same time, Jiang Che's contact with Yin Chonghai did not stop during this period of time in Beijing, and they tested each other to try to dispel the other party's suspicion of him.
Another thing is that he needs to win quickly.
The battle in Yanglong Pond had exposed his strength to some extent. Although not many people had seen that he had entered the realm of unity between man and nature, there are no such rumors yet.
But he didn't dare to be absolutely sure.
Otherwise, once Chu He is scared away, his Yang Qi will have no choice but to find another opportunity.
For this reason, even though Jiang Che won, he still asked Chen Qingfang for help to reduce his impact as much as possible, saying that it was because Lu Jieyun consumed most of Zakumu's strength that he easily won.
This method has loopholes, but it is also a helpless option.
Ji Chengdao took a deep look at Jiang Che, his eyes flashed, he nodded slightly and said:
"That's fine."
Beijing, the ancient residence of the Xu family.
Since Xu Qiuyue's father was promoted to the Minister of War, this ancient house located outside the capital has been gradually abandoned. Only the third prince's concubine Xu Qiuyue, who is nostalgic, comes to clean it every once in a while.
This day was also business as usual.
Xu Qiuyue, who was wearing a light blue dress, glanced around and opened an ordinary secret room. In the secret room, there was a back figure.
Wearing a dark blue robe, his figure is thin and looks a little thin, but his body seems to contain a majestic aura like a mountain.
"Xu Qiuyue, the captain of the capital city of the Blue Bat Palace, comes to see the Dharma King."
Xu Qiuyue bowed down with an expression of indifference.
It seems that she is her original and true character at this moment.
The green-robed figure slowly turned around, revealing a somewhat terrifying face, with thin cheeks, horizontal scars, no eyebrows or beard, and a pair of cyan pupils with an evil light, which looked extremely terrifying.
And his identity is surprisingly one of the four great dharma kings of the Qingtian Sect, who is as famous as Dongfang Mingyue of the Purple Dragon Hall and the South Palace of the Tianying Hall.
"What's going on with Jiang Che? Why did he break up with Ji Changsheng? My intention is for Ji Changsheng and Jiang Che to stand on the same front." A dry and hoarse voice came out of Bei Hanzhong's mouth.
It was like two pieces of dry tree bark rubbing together, and the sound even contained a hint of sharpness.
Xu Qiuyue quickly knelt down in front of the Blue Bat Dharma King:
"The Dharma King forgives the sin, the Dharma King forgives the sin."
Ever since the Xu family successfully sided with Ji Changsheng, the Qingtian Sect has been secretly supporting Ji Changsheng, but it is a pity that the Qingtian Sect's strength is still limited on the surface.
In addition, for fear of being discovered by the people from the Black Yamen and Xiu Yiwei, they have never dared to fully support Ji Changsheng. In addition, Ji Changsheng is inferior to Ji Changqian and Ji Changzhi in all aspects.
This led to the delay in progress.
However, Qingtian Sect’s focus is not entirely focused on it.
After Jiang Che entered the capital, Bei Hanzhong's plan changed. He wanted to involve the Xu family personally to plan for Ji Changsheng and Jiang Che to join forces, as long as they could stand on the same front.
Then, they would have something to do with Jiang Che.
When necessary, as long as they are willing to abandon the Xu family, they can drag Jiang Che into the water and accuse him of having an affair with the Qingtian Sect. This is the most fearful thing for the emperor.
He thought he could easily lure Jiang Che into trouble, but he didn't expect that after waiting for a few days, he heard rumors that Jiang Che and Ji Changsheng had broken up and even had a deep grudge.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Bei Hanzhong asked in a deep voice, not caring at all about Xu Qiuyue's begging for mercy.
"Reporting to the Dharma King, his subordinates were already preparing for this matter, but Ji Changsheng was really unable to support himself. He listened to the slanderous words of the advisers around him and wanted to force Jiang Che to submit.
In the end, not only did the goal not be achieved, but enmity was also forged, and Ji Changsheng's queen mother, who was not clear in her mind, even wanted to force her into the palace herself.
But then it angered Jiang Che, and then..."
Xu Qiuyue had a look of helplessness on her face. She had warned her before not to let Ji Changsheng be so eager to win over a top genius like Jiang Che. He needed to do it slowly.
But the problem is that she has been with Ji Changsheng for a short time and does not have the decisive say yet.
This led to such changes.
After the accident, she had almost no room to recover, because Ji Changsheng and his mother not only failed to reflect on their attitude, but also blamed Jiang Che for his lack of etiquette.
They didn't even look at what time it was.
At the critical moment of seizing the throne, he was still acting on impulse.
After listening to Xu Qiuyue's story, Bei Hanzhong frowned:
"Is Ji Changsheng really that stupid?"
"He is not stupid, but he is stupid without knowing it. He has no determination. Other people's suggestions can easily make him change his mind and waver." Xu Qiuyue whispered.
"So, the opportunity to pull Jiang Che into the water was missed in vain?"
Bei Hanzhong's tone was slightly cold.
Xu Qiuyue pursed her lips, with some fear in her eyes, and quickly raised her head and said:
"I heard that Jiang Che is lustful. If I seduce him with sex, coupled with the taboo of my identity as a prince's consort, maybe. Maybe there is still hope to pull this person into the game."
"Stupid. Although Jiang Che was born in an ordinary family, he has a tough character. Otherwise, he would not have reached the point where the Holy Church attaches importance to him. How could he be easily seduced by beauty?
What's more, you are just an above-average appearance, without a stunning face. How can you make Jiang Che fall in love with you? I'm afraid that if you seduce him, it will only make this person more vigilant."
Bei Hanzhong immediately scolded coldly.
In his eyes, no one who can make a name for himself in the martial arts world will be greedy for beauty, especially for a genius like Jiang Che, whose chances are very slim.
"I am stupid, I am stupid"
Xu Qiuyue seemed to be very afraid of Bei Hanzhong, and begged for mercy.
"Forget it, since we can't get Jiang Che to join the game, let's just leave it at that. I have another thing for you to do." Bei Hanzhong waved his hand impatiently.
Xu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly:
"Please ask the Dharma King to order."
"After returning, notify your father and ask him to connect a group of officials to build momentum in the capital and guide the court to negotiate with the Northern Barbarians. No matter what method is used, it must be done.
If you can't do it, you will go to the Green Bat Palace to feed my demon bats."
Bei Hanzhong said coldly.
"Negotiate?"
Xu Qiuyue raised her head, eyes full of disbelief.
Originally, she thought that the peace talks between the imperial court and the Northern Barbarians should be a very uncomfortable thing for the Qingtian Sect, and they must do everything they can to obstruct it.
After all, once the imperial court has time, the first thing to deal with must be the Qingtian Sect.
But what is going on now?
Could it be that the Green Bat Dharma King is an undercover of the imperial court?
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Bei Hanzhong's indifferent eyes fell on Xu Qiuyue.
"No, no, I dare not."
Bei Hanzhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkness in front of him:
"This matter concerns the great plan of our Holy Church. You don't need to know the whole story, just do it."
Except for the Northern Barbarians and several senior officials of the Qingtian Sect, few people knew that the peace talks between the Northern Barbarians were actually just a cover, and even the Northern Barbarian Prince's visit to the capital was just a cover.
The real situation is that the Qingtian Sect has reached an agreement with the Northern Barbarians.
That is to use the urgency of the court to negotiate and make the court withdraw its troops from the northern border. As long as the court mobilizes the army to leave, the number of strong men will drop sharply.
Then the Qingtian Sect will suddenly take action to help the Northern Barbarians break through the northern border, so that the Northern Barbarians will go south to the Central Plains. In this way, the court will be in chaos, and the Qingtian Sect can take the opportunity to raise troops in the south.
In this way, great things can be accomplished.
However, this kind of thing is not a simple matter. The most important thing is not to arouse the suspicion of the court and Ji Chengdao, otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
It is for this reason that when the Northern Barbarian envoys came to the court, they would put forward the unreasonable request for the court to transfer the important border town. The purpose is to prepare for the tug-of-war later.
In the battle of Yanglongtan, even if Jiang Che was defeated by Zagumu, the Northern Barbarian envoys would stay in the capital for a period of time and constantly retreat their bottom line.
Finally achieve the real purpose.
Border troops!
This is the truth of everything.
"Yes, I understand. I will tell my father all the instructions of the Dharma King." Xu Qiuyue didn't know the specific situation, but she also knew the key.
If she was not careful, she might be crushed to pieces.
But, as a disciple of the Green Bat Palace, she had no choice.
"Brother Jiang, do you want the treasures of heaven and earth?"
In the Dengxian Tower, just when Jiang Che was about to leave, Lu Jieyun suddenly found Jiang Che. After a brief chat, he said something shocking.
Jiang Che was stunned on the spot.
After a few breaths of silence, he suddenly said:
"Brother Lu, are you confused?"
Lu Jieyun shook his head:
"I just want to give Brother Jiang an opportunity."
Jiang Che stared at the other's eyes for a few breaths. Seeing that Lu Jieyun didn't seem to be joking, he immediately said:
"I hope Brother Lu can speak frankly."
Lu Jieyun looked around and quickly raised his hand to set up restrictions around him, looking a little mysterious. Then he said:
"This matter concerns our lives. It's not that I don't trust Brother Jiang, but this matter needs to be kept secret. Can Brother Jiang make a heart demon oath first? Of course, I will swear first."
As he said, he immediately swore a blood oath in front of Jiang Che, promising not to reveal any information about the matter, and even if it was exposed later, it would not implicate Jiang Che.
Jiang Che was a little hesitant at first, but because Lu Jieyun was so serious, he decided to listen to what the other party meant by the opportunity first, and then he also swore a blood oath.
"Now, Brother Lu, can you tell me?"
"Please allow me to keep you in suspense for a while and ask one more question. Does the senior Chixue next to Brother Jiang still have the combat power of the late stage of the Godly Phase? This is of great importance."
Lu Jieyun suddenly asked.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. This was actually not surprising. Many people knew about the news that the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord was following him, especially the Nanyue group, who had already known about it.
Even Ji Chengdao was very sure before, no wonder Lu Jieyun knew about it.
But, what does this have to do with strength?
Could it be that without the late-stage strength of the idol, he would not be able to participate in this opportunity?
After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly:
"Senior Scarlet Blood's fighting power is still there."
These words are naturally false. The Scarlet Blood Demon Lord's current strength is limited by his physical body. At most, he can only exert his strength at the legal level, unless Jiang Che can find a suitable physical body for him.
But there is no shortage of strong men in the later stages of the Idol around him.
Zhao Xianzhi can be mobilized at any time.
"That's good." Lu Jieyun breathed a sigh of relief. He took a huge risk to confess to Jiang Che. If the other party failed to meet the requirements, he would suffer a big loss.
Fortunately, his bet was right.
"Say it."
"To be honest, the opportunity mentioned by Lu when he invited Brother Jiang actually refers to those Northern Barbarian envoys. Lu has already received the exact information. These envoys have a large amount of cultivation resources hidden in them.
There are also several kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, such as the Hundred-year-old Divine Lotus, Jiuhua Immortal Dew, and Yin Shenmu."
As Lu Jieyun spoke, he was still staring at Jiang Che's expression.
"Brother Lu, aren't you lying to Jiang? How could the Northern Barbarian envoy have these things on his body?" Jiang Che was a little confused. After all, these things are very precious.
Let’s not talk about whether the Northern Barbarian envoy had it on his body. Even if it was there, how did Lu Jieyun know about it?
"Lu can swear that there is absolutely no lie. As for the source of the information, this is too important for Lu to disclose, but Brother Jiang, you have to believe me.
I can swear a blood oath without any lies. "
Lu Jieyun said in a deep voice, with a solemn expression on his face.
Of course, in fact, he was not lying, because these news all came from his memory. It was for this reason that he joined the imperial court, just to be close to the water and investigate the matter.
Jiang Che was half-convinced by Lu Jieyun's words, and there was some hesitation in his eyes at the moment about the kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures Lu Jieyun mentioned, such as Jiuhua Fairy Dew and the like.
He really didn't need it now, but Jiang Che wasn't sure whether he would need it for subsequent sacrifices.
"Isn't this too dangerous?"
Jiang Che said suddenly.
Seeing Jiang Che's hesitation and seeming unwilling to take action, Lu Jieyun gritted his teeth:
"As long as Brother Jiang is willing to join forces, I can tell Brother Jiang a secret about Ji Changsheng's mother and son."
Jiang Che's eyes lit up and the corner of his mouth curled up:
"Brother Lu, let's plan what to do."
