Zhong Shan was extremely unhappy. He took a few deep breaths and calmed the anger in his heart.
It was unwise to fall out with Old Mother Phoenix now. Moreover, he did not have the capital to do so. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and calmly deal with this matter.
Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal. What did Old Mother Phoenix mean by that? 'His things'?
The Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal was refined by him. The jade was the original jade that he picked himself. The only thing of unknown origin was that red bead.
Red bead? Old Mother Phoenix knew its origin?
"Senior …!" Zhong Shan was about to speak.
"Chirp chirp chirp …!"
A hurried sound came from the top of the mountain. A little red bird immediately swooped down happily from the top of the mountain and headed towards Zhong Shan.
It was the Vermillion Bird? Did Old Mother Phoenix let him go?
"Bring the Vermillion Bird!" Old Mother Phoenix said indifferently.
"Chirp chirp chirp …!" The Vermillion Bird finally landed on Zhong Shan's shoulder.
Zhong Shan looked at this scene strangely. Old Mother Phoenix let him go just like that? Why?
"Senior, junior has something that I don't understand. Senior, please …!" Zhong Shan's heart was filled with doubts.
"I'm tired. Jiu Tian, send the guest off!" Old Mother Phoenix's indifferent voice sounded.
Zhong Shan's expression flickered for a while. In the end, he suppressed his eagerness to know.
"Junior will take his leave!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Red bead. Finally, someone knew the origin of the red bead?
The red bead had brought him from Earth to the small chiliocosm. Earth was Hongjun's Purple Cloud Palace. Jie Yin had said that the Purple Cloud Palace contained Hongjun's power back then, as well as some treasures that Hongjun had collected from the world.
The treasures that Hongjun had his eyes on were definitely extraordinary. And those treasures had not entered the world, so it was very likely that even Hongjun could not see through them.
And this red bead had boundless energy and was abnormally mysterious. Zhong Shan had guessed many times that this was Hongjun's power. Unfortunately, Zhong Shan denied it today. From Old Mother Phoenix's words, Zhong Shan was sure that the 'he' that Old Mother Phoenix was talking about was definitely not Hongjun.
What was that red bead?
Hong Jun valued it so much that he would not let it go even if he was reborn. Yet, it could actually escape Hong Jun's control and scheme with him?
When Old Mother Phoenix saw it, she also recognized it. Furthermore, she suddenly became so easy to talk to?
Him? This' he 'must have been a powerful and overflowing character in the Primordial Era, or perhaps he was familiar with Old Mother Phoenix.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shan determined a general direction in his heart, which made it easier for Zhong Shan to find out the origin of the red beads.
"Zhong Shan, please!" Wu Jiutian said.
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Following Wu Jiutian, Zhong Shan stepped out of the phoenix nest.
Zhong Shan entered the phoenix nest for a while.
Ji Gongnie suddenly turned to look at Wang Jingwen!
"Mr. Wang!" Ji Gong Nie suddenly called out.
Wang Jingwen and the others were slightly surprised and turned their heads together. Wang Jingwen looked at Ji Gongnie and asked doubtfully, "Holy King Ji, you called me?"
"That's right. I have something to discuss with you!" Ji Gongnie said solemnly.
"Oh?" Wang Jingwen revealed a trace of doubt.
Golden Roc, Mr. Shi, and the others were naturally very puzzled.
"What is Mr. Wang's current position in the Daikon State?" Ji Gongnie asked.
"Daikon State's twelfth army commander, Duke!" Wang Jingwen said very politely.
"What do you think of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mr. Wang?" Ji Gongnie asked again.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has boundless fortune and the momentum of its rise is unstoppable. Its former glory may not be long before it reappears. Wang Jingwen deeply admires it!" Wang Jingwen said truthfully.
"How does it compare to your Daikon State?" Ji Gongnie asked again.
How does it compare to the Daikon State?
Wang Jingwen's pupils shrank. Behind him, Mr. Shi also narrowed his eyes. Golden Roc and Tian Lao also became serious.
What did Ji Gongnie mean? Compared to the Daikon State? Was he trying to climb up the ladder? How could Wang Jingwen say this? The Great Zhou Dynasty now had the foundation of the past and was naturally incomparably powerful. Although the Daikon State was powerful, it was inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty. An outsider could say this, but Wang Jingwen was an important minister of the Daikon State. How could he say this?
Wang Jingwen took a deep breath, as if he already understood Ji Gongnie's meaning. He said solemnly, "Daikon State is indeed inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty at the moment. However, the Daikon State's development is definitely not inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty unified the Western Continent. My Daikon State only needs time to settle down and will definitely reach the same height in the future!"
Ji Gongnie smiled slightly and suddenly said seriously, "Shang Ruo, the Great Zhou Dynasty will give Mr. Wang the same title and official position. Would Mr. Wang be willing to stay and help me?"
Ji Gongnie finally revealed his purpose.
As soon as Ji Gongnie opened his mouth, Golden Roc and the others' eyes spat out anger. What was Ji Gongnie doing? Poaching people? The Holy King was still here and he was already trying to poach people?
Golden Roc and Hao Meili were about to speak, but Mr. Shi gently pressed the two of them to calm down. Mr. Shi's expression was also unfriendly, but he did not interrupt.
Golden Roc and Hao Meili looked at Mr. Shi strangely, but Mr. Shi shook his head calmly.
Mr. Shi was the commander of the fourth army of the Daikon State. All his official positions and titles were higher than Wang Jingwen's. Here, other than the confused Tian Ling 'er, Mr. Shi had the highest position. Zhong Shan was not here, so Mr. Shi was naturally able to give orders.
Golden Roc and Hao Meili suppressed their anger and did not speak. They just stared at Wang Jingwen and Ji Gongnie.
Wang Jingwen bowed slightly to Ji Gongnie and said, "Holy King Ji, I am only a small official of the Daikon State. How could I be worthy of Holy King Ji's attention?"
"If I say you can, then you can!" Ji Gongnie said in a low voice.
Wang Jingwen shook his head and smiled. "Wang Jingwen is an official of the Daikon State. If I suddenly transfer to another dynasty, I will be charged with treason. This is a great taboo among all the dynasties in the world. Holy King Ji, you won't let me make a mistake, right?"
"I will talk to Zhong Shan. As long as you agree, you will be an important official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You will have a hundred times more power than you have now!" Ji Gongnie said solemnly.
"Sir Wang, Holy King Ji Gongnie made a promise in front of all the officials. In other words, he made a promise in front of everyone. He will definitely fulfill his promise to Sir Wang. The Holy King values Sir Wang so much. I hope Sir Wang can reconsider!" Marquis Shaofei said.
Wang Jingwen looked at Ji Gongnie, then at Marquis Shaofei, and finally shook his head. "A loyal official does not serve two masters. Wang Jingwen thanks Holy King Ji for his favor."
Golden Roc and the others inwardly sighed. But the officials behind Ji Gongnie glared at Wang Jingwen. The Holy King had personally spoken. This Wang Jingwen didn't know how to appreciate favors.
At this time, Zhong Shan and Wu Jiutian stepped out of the phoenix nest. Zhong Shan's expression shifted when he saw the tense standoff in front of him. This was because the people he had brought were facing off against Ji Gongnie?
"A loyal official does not serve two masters. Wang Jingwen thanks Holy King Ji Gongnie for his favor!"
Zhong Shan just happened to hear this. With Zhong Shan's shrewdness, he naturally understood the reason. This Ji Gongnie really knew how to find the time to poach people. As expected of an emperor.
"Holy King Ji Gongnie, that's not very kind of you!" Zhong Shan interrupted with a smile.
Ji Gongnie was a bit surprised to see Zhong Shan come out so quickly. He looked at the Vermilion Bird that pounced at Sky Ling 'er as soon as it came out of the phoenix nest. Ji Gongnie frowned. When did Old Mother Phoenix become so easy to talk to?
"Little Red!" Sky Ling 'er happily hugged the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird rubbed against Sky Ling 'er's face and stared at the little Golden Dragon. It was as if the two had some kind of connection.
"Chung Holy King Ji Gongnie took away the princess and Vermilion Bird from my Great Zhou. Shouldn't he also leave something for Great Zhou?" Ji Gongnie indifferently said.
"Wang Jingwen is a subject of my Daikon State. However, Wang Jingwen is different from others. When he joined the Daikon State, I promised that Wang Jingwen could freely enter and leave the Daikon State. As long as he is in the Daikon State, my Daikon State has the obligation to protect him. If he wants to leave, I will not stop him. Since Holy King Ji Gongnie has taken a fancy to Wang Jingwen, that is his fortune. As long as he is willing to stay for you, I, Zhong Shan, will naturally have nothing to say. However, if he is unwilling, I, Zhong Shan, will naturally protect him. Even if the fish dies and the net splits! "Zhong Shan's tone sank.
Zhong Shan's tone was very sharp. Even Sky Ling 'er could feel the anger in it. She walked over somewhat fearfully. Golden Roc, Blade Killer, Mr. Shi, and Tian Lao naturally walked behind Zhong Shan.
Ji Gongnie's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Zhong Shan, then at Wang Jingwen.
Wang Jingwen bowed again to Ji Gongnie. "Wang Jingwen is merely a scholar. There is no need for you to treat me this way. Holy King Ji Gongnie, a loyal subject does not serve two masters. Holy King Ji Gongnie, you have wronged me!"
Wang Jingwen also retreated behind Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan smiled faintly. Golden Roc and the others also felt a sense of admiration for Wang Jingwen.
"If that is the case, then forget it. However, I am very curious. Putting aside the 'loyal subject does not serve two masters', what is there about my Great Zhou that is inferior to the Daikon State?"
The situation once again fell into a stalemate. Ji Gongnie had pushed Wang Jingwen into the limelight again.
Wang Jingwen looked at Ji Gongnie and shook his head with a wry smile. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Holy King Ji Gongnie cannot give me what I want!"
With that, Wang Jingwen retreated behind Zhong Shan.
Holy King Ji Ji Gongnie could not give him what he wanted? The Great Zhou officials were furious. What could the Holy King not give him in this world? This Wang Jingwen was too arrogant.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors!"
"Arrogant!"
… … …
… … …
… …
A large number of officials glared at each other.
"Holy King Ji Gongnie!" Zhong Shan suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at Zhong Shan again.
"Wang Jingwen is a subject of the Daikon State. Holy King Ji Gongnie had better not do anything that would make things difficult for me," Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
Ji Gongnie's expression was also not good.
"However, Zhong Shan indeed owes Great Zhou. Zhong Shan will give a message to Holy King Ji Gongnie to alleviate Great Zhou's loss!" Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"Oh? What message? "Ji Gongnie asked indifferently.
"It's about Bao Si!" Zhong Shan said word by word.
"Whoosh!"
With Ji Gongnie as the center, a gust of wind suddenly blew. It blew in all directions.
Bao Si?
As soon as' Bao Si 'was mentioned, everyone held their breaths. In Great Zhou, who didn't know Bao Si? The number one beauty in the world, the empress of Great Zhou!
Her smile could topple cities and charm the world!
