Astral Apostle

   Chapter 251 Intercession and Injustice

   Shenxiao Chongling Temple.

   Zhou Jing was drinking tea and chatting casually with Qin Song, who came to visit. The atmosphere was relaxed.

   "The real person is here, and it is quiet in the middle of the noise. It is very quiet. It is really a good place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation."

   Qin Song blew tea foam and chatted with a smile.

   "If Qin Xiang is interested, he will come more in the future."

   Zhou Jing responded casually.

   He didn't have a deep friendship with Qin Song, but today Qin Song came to visit him politely, and there were many compliments in his words, intending to draw closer.

  Since he returned to Beijing to face the saint, he has won a lot of awards, both real and imaginary, and a new name has been added to his head. The emperor named him in a different way.

   The most important thing is that he has the qualification to go to the court every day, but Ning Zhongjun loses this privilege.

  The large and small officials in the court are all quick-witted and well-informed people, and they naturally understand the meaning of this change.

   At the same time, the skills shown by Master Yufeng this time are like heaven and earth, and all the ministers are in awe.

   And there is a threat from Chen Feng, the real person will probably become an indispensable and important worship of the court in the future, and the elites in Beijing dare not regard him as an ordinary Taoist who is favored.

   As a result, officials came to visit in an endless stream, knowing that Yufeng Zhenren had made a contribution this time and won the emperor's favor, and the future was boundless.

The threshold of the    Taoist temple was about to be breached, but Zhou Jing did not use the momentum of meritorious service to expand his contacts everywhere. Instead, he thanked the vast majority of people for visiting on the grounds of healing, and only occasionally saw some important officials in the court.

  Qin Song is one of them... Although he is the right minister, he can't sit still, so Baba came to make a good relationship.

   For the rest of the time, Zhou Jing stayed in the Taoist temple behind closed doors, practising techniques, training his disciples, and pretending not to take credit for his own achievements, or to be arrogant and arrogant.

   Now that he is a man in the capital, everyone is watching his every move, and he has received further saints. It is too much, so it is better to avoid the limelight.

   As for the evidence of Yuding Sect's crime, Zhou Jing did not continue to intervene. He asked the emperor to file a complaint and handed it over to the assassin to Dali Temple.

   After all, in the emperor's heart, the Jade Tripod Sect still has a position, and it is unlikely that he will be killed with a stick, but in order to quell his dissatisfaction, he will probably let Ning Zhongjun and his group walk around and show an attitude.

   While the two were chatting casually, a disciple knocked on the door and came in and spoke in Zhou Jing's ear.

   Zhou Jing raised his brows when he heard this, and suddenly said with a smile:

   "Commander Lu ordered Da Fu Da, and the poor Dao was greatly relieved."

   Immediately, he turned to look at Qin Song and said:

   "Lu Longchuan was defeated and returned to Beijing. He didn't want to come to me directly. I remember that he was recruited by the court with the help of Qin Xiang. Since they are all acquaintances, why don't you invite him to come in and talk, what would Qin Xiang think?"

   Qin Song squinted his eyes, did not show any expression, smiled and said: "The guest is as much as you want."

   Zhou Jing nodded and said to his disciples, "Go ask Lu to lead them in."

  The disciples took orders.

   After a while, Lu Longchuan and the others, who were full of dust, walked into the house.

   When everyone saw the scene clearly, they were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Qin Song to be here too.

  Sun Rong tugged at Lu Longchuan, and hurried forward to greet him:

   "I have seen a real person, I have seen Qin Xiang."

   The rest quickly followed suit.

   Zhou Jing accepted it calmly, and then smiled:

   "As soon as Huyang parted, Pindao thought that Commander Lu and Sun Junshi were all lost in the hands of the thieves. Now it seems that the Jiren have their own celestial appearance."

   Hearing this, Lu Longchuan's face darkened.

  Sun Rong hurriedly took over the conversation, showing a look of shame:

"Hoojiao Zhenren and Qin Xiang know that after the defeat that day, we fled with the defeated soldiers, but were captured by the thieves, and almost died in Huangquan. It's just that the bandit leader Chen Fengnian once owed my eldest brother a favor, They let us go down the mountain and said they would only spare this time, but the thieves took many brothers as hostages, and we had no choice but to go back to Beijing to report on our duties.”

   He didn't hide the fact that Chen Feng was caught and let go. Although this matter would become a stain, he couldn't hide it.

  In the future, if those old brothers who have taken refuge with Chen Feng are right against the court on the battlefield, they will be implicated instead. Therefore, even if this embarrassing encounter will be criticized, it must be divided in advance.

  —Of course, considering such a long-term consideration, the premise is that the return to Beijing can save his life this time, otherwise it will be useless.

   "So that's it... Sigh, it's not easy for you to escape with Chen Feng's hands."

   Zhou Jing's face showed seven points of sympathy, three points of regret, and his acting skills were natural, as if he had no responsibility for this matter.

  Qin Song was blowing the tea foam, and seemed to say casually: "You waited for a big defeat and returned to the capital. Why didn't you go to the Privy Council to report your duties, but you came here?"

  Sun Rong heard the words and was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out from his back.

   Their original backer was Qin Song, and they came here for the purpose of clinging to the real person Yufeng, and they were suspected of changing their families. This is not a glorious thing.

   Of course, he had to avoid the original owner to do this, but he didn't know Qin Song was here before, and his heart was half cold.

   Zhou Jing opened his mouth at the right time and said with a smile, "Hehe, it must be Commander Lu who misses my comrade. Come and talk to me first, and tell them the good news that they are still alive."

   "It makes sense."

   Qin Song nodded with a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.

   He put down the tea bowl, got up slowly, and said to Zhou Jing:

   "The old man still has official business at hand, so I will visit the real person next time."

   "Qin Xiang walk slowly."

  Zhou Jing also gave face, got up to say goodbye, and Sun Rong and his party hurried to accompany him.

   After sending Qin Song away, Zhou Jing and the group returned to the house.

  Without outsiders, he directly opened the skylight to speak brightly, restrained his smile, and asked lightly:

"Commander Lu, your army is defeated, this crime is inevitable, and you will be held accountable by the Holy Master. If you are not strict in governing the army, your soldiers will be bribed by others, and the poor will not be poisoned, this battle may not be invincible... After you return to Beijing, you don't go to debrief, but you come to me, but you want to ask the poor?"

  Sun Rong hurriedly took Lu Longchuan to give a big gift, his tone was excited and earnest, and he could no longer worry about Qin Song's thoughts, saying:

   "I don't dare to hide from the real person. Right now, only the real person can save our lives. I hope that the real person will save our lives in the light of my friendship."

   They didn't report to work immediately. Naturally, it was for the sake of secretly taking the opportunity to cross the Privy Council and go directly to the Sage in the face of Master Yufeng. Only by persuading the emperor can they get a light sentence.

  Otherwise, they would just go about their business. As they were recruited, most of them would be directly controlled, there was no room to operate, and they would end up dead and dead, so after returning to Beijing, they didn’t care about other things and took the risk to find a real person.

   Zhou Jing frowned and said deliberately, "Pin Dao is only the junior supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, and he is not qualified to intervene in military and political affairs. How can we save you?"

"The real person has the ability to reach the sky, the status is detached, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. We cannot escape the responsibility of defeat in this battle. We do not dare to bother the real person too much. Wait for a few good words..."

  Sun Rong slammed again and again, begging on his face.

Zhou Jing didn't change his face, and said slowly: "Commander Lu, Military Sergeant Sun, although we have the same robes, but Pindao is not a member of the army, he has done his best in this battle, it is not my responsibility to lose the army, but you When the army has nowhere to go, why should the poor road excuse you?"

  Sun Rong gritted his teeth and knelt down to express his position.

   "As long as the real person saves our lives, we are willing to devote ourselves to the real person. No matter what the real person tells us, we will never refuse!"

  Lu Longchuan was confused and knelt down together, and the others hurriedly followed suit.

   They can even kneel on the emperor's knees, and now kneeling down to a world-renowned expert who can save their lives and has the ability to reach the sky, naturally there is no hesitation or grudge.

   Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he deliberately pondered for a while before slowly saying:

   "Since you are so sincere, that's all, the poor Daoist will do you a favor, but the merits and demerits are still up to the Holy One to decide. If the Holy One wants to sentence you to death, the poor Daoist can't help you."

   "Thank you for your life-saving grace!"

  Sun Rong and others were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and saluted.

  Although the fate is still in the hands of the emperor, at least there is a turning point now.

   Zhou Jing looked at the group of people who gave a big gift, his eyes were subtle.

   Unexpectedly, these guys finally defected to "their".

   Seeing how grateful they were, the seal thief was still in the dark as a father.

   Accepting these people is useless for a while, but Zhou Jing is not sure if it will be useful in the future.

  …

   Zhou Jing came forward to report that Lu Longchuan and his party were able to enter the palace to face the saint.

  The emperor was furious and scolded Lu Longchuan for his incompetence in person. Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to refute, but repeatedly accused him of the crime, made a deep review, and told the truth about the cause and effect of the war.

  Lu Longchuan put the blame for the defeat on the inner ghost. Among them, Xiang Tianjie was the most resentful. He said that this person was secretly collaborating with the enemy, and they were unable to turn the tide, which led to the defeat.

   There are signs of ghost activity in this battle, and now Lu Longchuan has thrown all the blame on Xiang Tianjie, and no one will doubt it is someone else.

  Because of Zhou Jing's good words, the emperor finally decided to keep Lu Longchuan and his party to commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

   Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, and the death penalty is inevitable. The relegation is certain, and the pacification envoys and Jiedu envoys promised in the past are not even thought about.

  Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to ask for more, and thanked them one after another.

  Although it was for the imperial court, they felt lucky as long as they could save their lives.

   When he went to court on the second day, the emperor announced that Lu Longchuan and his party entered the hall, and after annoyed, announced the result of the disposal, and did not execute Lu Longchuan and his party.

  The civil and military officials are well-informed, and they all know that Lu Longchuan went to the real Yufeng yesterday, and he knew in his heart that it was the real Yufeng who exerted his strength in it, so that Lu Longchuan and his party were given a high-handed punishment.

  The ministers couldn't help but once again elevate the status of Real Master Yufeng in the emperor's mind, and became more and more in awe of Real Master Yufeng beside him.

   Today, the Jade Tripod Sect is clearly losing ground, and as a peer, this Master Yufeng will definitely be able to rise further.

  Qin Song didn't make a fuss about it. Although this group of people took the initiative to change the court, he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't want to have a rift with the real Yufeng, so he just sat and watched.

Anyway, for him, Lu Longchuan has lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, has no use value, and has become a useless abandoned child... If he can use the waste, let them use them as a medium to deepen his friendship with the real Yufeng, that is not bad. of.

   In the following days, Zhou Jing did not care about the changes in the court, and went to the court every day in a daze, and then went home to "retreat to recuperate", living a fairly regular life.

The problem of Yuding Sect is still fermenting naturally, and he has not yet shuttled to Chen Feng, until the time of demolition, but Lu Longchuan and his party saved their lives, and there are many follow-up personnel to report on this battle, so he is not needed for the time being. doing what.

  The imperial court is not idle, and is mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to formally send troops to conquer Huyang Chen Feng.

   It took a while.

   On this day, Zhou Jing was testing his disciples’ martial arts skills in the temple, and suddenly a clerk rushes over.

   "There are three people outside, calling themselves Ma Zhen, Huang Ping, and Yu Wenyan, and want to ask to see Master."

   Zhou Jing raised his brows.

   These three people seem to be the military commanders appointed by the imperial court this time.

   Most of the time he came to me, like Lu Longchuan last time, he came to ask him to help himself?

   "Then let's meet."

   Zhou Jing's mouth curved into a radian, and he smiled inwardly.

   The next injustice has appeared.
