Chapter 396: Enlighten the Fairy! Unexpected Disruption!
A chess game ended in Jiang Che's defeat. Of course, this was not because he deliberately let off steam, but because he was really not proficient in chess skills and could barely hold on in the front.
But as the chess game progressed, he gradually became exhausted.
Finally, when Emperor Yuan Kang forced the chess game to a dead end, Jiang Che sighed softly:
"Your Majesty is very skilled in chess, and I am really no match for you."
"Hahaha, the champion's flattery makes me extremely happy." It's not that Emperor Yuan Kang couldn't see Jiang Che's chess skills, and he knew that the other party didn't let him go.
It is precisely because of this that I am even happier.
After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Che stood up and left.
When Jiang Che left the imperial garden, the smile on Emperor Yuan Kang's face gradually faded, and he looked at Yao Yue beside him with a solemn expression:
"What does the National Master think of the Champion?"
"What point is your Majesty referring to?"
"In the eyes of the Imperial Master, how do you evaluate Jiang Che?"
"Excellent qualifications, experienced in dealing with things, but there is a hint of pride between his eyebrows."
"Hahaha, young man, after all, he is a little more energetic. This is not a shortcoming. It's just that I have some doubts about whether I can completely subdue this person." Facing Yao Yue, Emperor Yuan Kang opened his mind a little.
Although he had let down a lot of his wariness about Long Wei, he was still not sure at the moment whether he could make Jiang Che completely come back.
"His Majesty is the most honorable. No matter how highly qualified the Champion is, he is still His Majesty's minister. Why should he stick to trivial matters? Even Jiang Che is obeying the orders of his patron king at this moment.
But when Jiang Che becomes a saint in the future, he will naturally no longer be inferior to others."
Ji Wenhao looked thoughtful and stared at Yao Yue:
"With my current longevity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait until that day, unless the national master is willing to help me."
"I don't understand what your majesty means."
Yao Yue looked at her expressionlessly.
"I know exactly what the Imperial Master wants, and I can give it to you. Even my Great Zhou Dragon Vein can be refined by the Imperial Master, but the Imperial Master also needs to show sincerity."
In fact, Ji Wenhao has always understood Yao Yue's thoughts, and he also has his own plans, but he has never revealed them so frankly.
But now, he is already in peace talks with the Northern Barbarians. As long as the peace talks are successful and the two countries stop fighting, he can not only call back half of his troops, but also take back part of the national destiny.
Coupled with his previous arrangements, as long as he can get Yao Yue's help, he can get rid of his own predicament, and even become a saint in one step and become the eternal emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was precisely because of these plans that he was unwilling to establish any crown prince.
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I don't have anything I want. If there is one thing, it is to become an immortal." Yao Yue stared at Ji Wenhao and spoke calmly.
In fact, the patron Wang Ji Chengdao had always thought wrong. From the beginning, Yaoyue had no idea of committing herself to the emperor. Her goal from beginning to end was to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
Therefore, with her support, Xuantian Wuji Palace supported the eldest prince Ji Changqian.
Although on the surface it was because of the emperor's request that the Buddhist and Taoist families came to support the prince in seizing the heir, but in fact, she did have her own small thoughts, as long as Ji Changqian could become emperor.
That's when she got her harvest back.
As for Jiang Che, it was not within her scope of consideration. She had compromised with Ji Chengdao before just because she didn't want to alarm the other party, and there were many reasons.
One of them is that she can't wait.
According to the normal speed, it would be almost impossible for Jiang Che to become a saint in less than a month, but her own situation could not delay her for that long.
The ten-year agreement was just her words to appease Ji Chengdao.
Ji Wenhao's eyes sank, showing a little displeasure. If another person had dared to disobey him, he would have become angry, but Yao Yue was not an ordinary person after all.
He is not only the Grand Master of Zhou Dynasty, but also the master of Xuantian Wuji Palace. He is an important chess piece he uses to check and balance Ji Chengdao. His anger cannot make a martial saint compromise at all.
The atmosphere was suppressed for more than ten breaths before he suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile:
"It seems that I have misunderstood the Imperial Master."
East China Sea, Wanghaifeng.
Jiang Che stood with his hands behind his hands, looking deeply at the endless sea.
He knew that the calm sea was actually just an appearance, and that the real overseas world was a real imperial pass. Today, he was no longer the ignorant Taishan guard he used to be.
He was a third-rank official in the imperial court and the champion of a city with 5,000 households.
I know that there are some secrets in this world.
For example, Overseas Tianyuan.
Regarding this news, not many people in the world actually know about it. Only some people with relatively high status can know about these channels. Just outside Tianyuan, there is the demon domain of the demon clan.
And one-third of the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also stationed there, guarding the Central Plains.
In addition, there are some top forces, such as Tianjian Mountain where Chen Ping is located, whose sect exists in Tianyuan, helping the human race, guarding Tianyuan, and preventing the invasion of monsters.
The reason why Holy Sea City can have a country within a country in the Central Plains is because the pressure from the demon clan is too great and it needs to rely on some power of Holy Sea City.
Jiang Che didn't understand Tianyuan's current situation, and he wasn't qualified to know at this moment.
Therefore, he was just thinking about it at the moment.
The real purpose is to wait for someone.
After coming out of the palace that day, Jiang Che did not waste any more time and flew straight into the sky in the direction of the East China Sea. During the trip to the East China Sea, Jiang Che's time was neither tight nor generous.
It's almost less than a month away.
After all, such matters as negotiating a peace still require careful discussion by some officials of the imperial court, and it will take a long time for the Northern Barbarian envoys to return to the grassland.
However, he estimated that there would be no problem.
But his character dictates that he still won't delay time deliberately.
Therefore, he contacted Zhao Xianzhi and Qi Zhengnan a long time ago and asked them to meet here today to plan the opportunity for the true dragon ruins.
While he was thinking about the general trend of the world, suddenly, a sword sound echoed across the sky and the earth. Jiang Che raised his eyes and saw a green figure slowly stepping on a sword in the distance in the void.
Dressed in green clothes, with a peerless appearance, exuding an extremely sharp aura, slowly blending with the surrounding world, it was Zhao Xianzhi, the Master of the Qingxiao Sword of Lingjian Mountain.
After not seeing each other for a while, the other party was still able to surprise him a lot.
Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, soft and boneless.
This is Jiang Che's private evaluation of Zhao Xianzhi. No one knows that this Qingxiao Sword Master, who seems cold to the outside world, actually wants and wants from Jiang Che once he becomes emotional.
"coming?"
Jiang Che looked at Zhao Xianzhi, who was getting closer, with a smile on his lips.
"How long have you been waiting?"
Zhao Xianzhi's voice was still cold, and there was no indication that she had ever had sex with Jiang Che. However, this was still an appearance. In fact, she was also looking at Jiang Che very seriously.
During this period of time, some scenes about Jiang Che flashed through her mind every day, recalling some of the things they had done, which were not under the control of her will.
For a while, she even wanted to go to the capital just to see Jiang Che, but in the end, her reason prevailed over her desire, so she suppressed it.
But she didn't hesitate at all about the East China Sea appointment. After receiving the news, she rushed here quickly. The reason why she still arrived later than Jiang Che was just because she didn't show up.
I want to use my spiritual consciousness to peek into Jiang Che's condition.
"Just arrived."
Listening to the somewhat distant words, Zhao Xianzhi fell from the void to the ground, also cast his gaze towards the distant sea, and asked casually:
"I was already here just now."
"I know."
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Che looked at the beauty in front of him with a smile:
“It’s not so much what I’m looking at, but what I’m thinking.”
Zhao Xianzhi's heart moved, and she continued to ask with a calm expression:
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"Miss you."
"miss me?"
Zhao Xianzhi raised his eyebrows lightly.
"right."
"Why do you miss me?"
"Do you need a reason to miss someone?"
Jiang Che smiled.
Zhao Xianzhi narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a moment and asked:
"What do you think of our relationship?"
The two previous times on Qingxiao Peak, she had never had the chance to speak, and she was afraid that speaking would alienate her from Jiang Che, but during this period of time, she had thought deeply about it for a long time.
This kind of following someone around for no apparent reason is definitely not what she wants.
I have been thinking about finding an opportunity to make it clear, and what I was thinking about just now is actually the same thing.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Che feels a little tricky at the moment, but he also knows that this kind of topic cannot be avoided. He can only think about it first while stabilizing the opponent, but no matter what, he will not let go of Zhao Xianzhi, who wants to fight with respect. Powerful.
"I have no idea."
Zhao Xianzhi shook his head.
"Actually, I don't know either, but you do know that I am married, the son-in-law of the Beiling Qi family, and I have two wives, but it was just an accident between you and me at the beginning.
I admit that I do have thoughts about you, but I also know that it is difficult between us. I want to leave this relationship to you to decide, if you don’t want to get too involved with me.
Then I have no choice but to bear the pain and separate from you. "
Jiang Che had no way to say whether to break up or continue to maintain this relationship. He could only give the other party the choice. No, to be precise, Jiang Che deliberately gave the choice to the other party.
If the other party acquiesces, that is the best.
If the other party doesn't want to, then he has other things to say.
In short, he has basically figured out Zhao Xianzhi's internal and external situation, and knows that she may seem to have strong cultivation, but her level in matters between men and women is only about the same as Qi Wanjun's.
Not even as good as Qi Ningbing.
"me."
Zhao Xianzhi, who originally had a thousand words to say, suddenly didn't know how to speak.
There was hesitation between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Jiang Che immediately understood and reached out to hug Zhao Xianzhi's soft waist. His sudden movement made the other party stiff, but he did not refuse.
"Life is short. Carpe Diem Xianzhi. Let's not pursue right or wrong. Can you give me a few years? Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation in the end."
Jiang Che's voice rang in Zhao Xianzhi's ears, and his fiery breath instantly made her heart tighten. She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Che who was close at hand, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Not speaking is the default.
When Jiang Che saw this, he immediately prepared to set up a ban around the area and fight first.
As the saying goes, the best way to a woman's heart is the way.
He also understands that his physique is special, his skills are special, and the dragon power he exudes will make women fall in love with him, and he will unconsciously and subtly change his attitude.
Any hesitations or conflicts can be solved with one shot.
He even suspected that the reason why Zhao Xianzhi suddenly asked this question was probably because his influence had failed on her. After all, the other party's cultivation was strong, and he did not leave many traces on the other party's body.
Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Che is irresponsible, but he feels that he does not have the ability yet, so he still uses the old method of delaying time until he becomes a saint.
All problems will not be a problem.
It's nothing more than giving Zhao Xianzhi another status.
Seeing Jiang Che placing restrictions around him, Zhao Xianzhi pushed Jiang Che with very little force to express his rejection, but his attitude was obviously not firm.
Jiang Che also took out the Myriad Tribulation Demonic Sword and prepared to let the opponent go deep into the seabed.
But before Jiang Che could take action, Zhao Xianzhi's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he broke free from Jiang Che's restraints, quickly moved his body, and returned to his previous cold appearance.
Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, and quickly sensed someone approaching, and immediately grasped the Red Blood Demonic Sword tightly.
After a few breaths, a figure walked out of the void.
Wearing a brocade robe, he looks majestic.
Surprisingly, it was Jiang Che's father-in-law, Qi Zhengnan.
He glanced at Zhao Xianzhi with some suspicion. At the beginning, Jiang Che didn't tell him that Zhao Xianzhi was also here, but he knew at a casual glance that Jiang Che invited him here.
He immediately cupped his fists and said:
"I didn't expect Fairy Zhao to come here."
Zhao Xianzhi glanced at Jiang Che and saw nothing strange, and said calmly:
"My friend Jiang Dao helped me a lot when Xianzhi made a breakthrough before. This time he has something important to do, and Xianzhi will do it of his own accord."
In front of Qi Zhengnan, Zhao Xianzhi did not dare to show any strangeness. Not only had she known him for many years, but more importantly, he was the father of Qi Wanjun and Qi Ningbing.
And if she really counts, it can only be regarded as an outer room.
Once discovered, she was truly ashamed.
"uncle."
Jiang Che also handed over his hand with a normal expression.
"Isn't it too late for uncle to come?"
Qi Zhengnan asked with a smile.
The corner of Jiang Che's mouth twitched. If Qi Zhengnan didn't cause trouble, he would have entered the path of a fairy at this moment, but on the surface he shook his head:
"It's not too late, uncle came just in time."
"That's good, by the way. Where are the true dragon ruins? When are you going to take action?"
Qi Zhengnan did not doubt that he was there and continued to ask.
"The True Dragon Ruins still need to contact Yin Chonghai. I plan to contact him after my uncle and the fairy arrive. As for taking action, it's not possible yet. I plan to put this opportunity at the beginning or end of the True Dragon Ruins."
