The Qi Emperor went to court at dawn and left at dawn.
Before the court meeting, the king's "grace" would be sent to the Marquis of Bowang's residence.
Thunder and rain were the king's grace. Punishment could not be avoided, reward could not be avoided.
Since the Qi Emperor had agreed to Chung Geng Sheng's request, to use his meritorious service on the Yang Nation battlefield in exchange for Jung Genzun's one year of cultivation at Jixia Academy.
Jung Genzun had no right to refuse.
Once the Emperor's envoy arrived, he had to set off immediately.
Chung Geng Sheng's men did not rest. They rushed back to Linzi and repeatedly hit a wall.
He did not hesitate to give Li Longchuan the world's famous bow, Qiushan, just to ask Li Zhengshu to say that this bow could have been exchanged for enough bargaining chips.
He even hardened his heart and used the Jixia Academy cultivation opportunity that he had originally planned to leave for himself to trap Jung Genzun for a year.
Needless to say, how many favors had he used in exchange for the opportunity to wait outside Donghua Pavilion. How many resources had he used to deliver the message to Li Zhengshu's ears …
This time, the price he paid was not small, and the reversal was not easy.
Of course, he would not miss such an important moment.
After leaving Donghua Pavilion, he directly dragged Jiang Wang to Ji Gate.
Ji Gate was the first gate in the south west of Linzi. Among the west city gates, it was the first gate from south to north.
Among the east city gates, it was the first gate from north to south. In other words, the She Gate faced each other.
She was the god of earth, and Ji was the god of grains.
The earth carried all things, and grains provided for the people.
"She" and "Ji" were set by etiquette, and the Emperor had to personally worship them. Therefore, Ji itself had the meaning of the world.
The Gate of Ji had its own important meaning.
The East faced the sea, and the earth faced the sea.
Outside the Jixia Gate to the west was the famous Jixia Academy!
Qi Emperor operated Jixia Academy as the food that provided for the people. He saw it as the foundation of the country, and it was obvious that he valued it.
He had heard of it for a long time. Ever since he came to Qi, the name Jung Genzun had appeared in his ears in various forms.
Outside Ji Gate, Jiang Wang saw him for the first time.
At this moment, it was still Maoshi.
The court meeting that would decide the fate of the entire country was still being held calmly.
At dawn, Linzi woke up from the autumn night.
Street vendors had already appeared sporadically on the street.
Regardless of whether they were Transcendents or mortals, everyone was busy with their own struggles.
Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng were standing inside the city walls. Behind them, the city gate was already open.
The guards at the city gate were fully armed and looked straight ahead.
At the end of the street, a man in white walked over.
His white clothes were not properly worn, as if he had just woken up. He had casually found a piece of clothing and draped it over his body, making it look rather messy. This was simply unimaginable among the aristocratic families who placed great importance on appearances.
But when he walked down the street, it was like a pear blossom.
The entire street was filled with his elegance.
His sword-like eyebrows were slanted into his temples, giving off a sense of sharpness.
His eyes were pitch-black and bright, like the last two black pieces on a chessboard that determined the life and death of a dragon.
However, the corners of his mouth were always curled up in a smile, as if he was some family's licentious young master, and yet this sharpness and fierceness was concealed. This made him easy to get close to.
The thing that best reflected this temperament should be his nose.
It was the kind of height that was like a bright green mountain, but it did not feel dangerous.
His collar was casually placed, because one could faintly see his jade-like collarbone and the bulging muscles beneath.
Without Chung Geng Sheng's introduction, Jiang Wang naturally knew who this person was.
Only now could he shift his gaze away from him and notice the Donghua Pavilion eunuch who was leading the way in front of him.
This eunuch was not only here to deliver Lord Qi's verbal order, but also to supervise Jung Genzun's immediate entrance into Jixia Academy. He could be considered to have some status in the internal court, but he was in front of Jung Genzun and looked like a manservant.
Zhong Xuan Sheng, who was fat, had a smile on his face, and looked somewhat harmless, was waiting at the city gate.
When they got closer, he smiled and said, "I'm here to send you off, Elder Brother."
Jung Genzun stopped in his tracks and looked deeply at Chung Geng Sheng for a while. The corners of his mouth curled up. "My fat little brother. You really made me see you in a different light. "
Chung Geng Sheng opened his arms and showed his figure. "I ate so much so that Elder Brother doesn't have to look at me in a different light and can still see me!"
He was really ruthless. He gave up all his merits just to send Jung Genzun to Jixia Academy to cultivate for a year.
He had wanted to use the opportunity to cultivate at Jixia Academy to close the gap between his cultivation and Jung Genzun's. Now, he had no choice but to give up this opportunity, which increased the gap between the two of them.
All for the sake of catching his breath under Jung Genzun's continuous attacks and counterattacking in one fell swoop!
In a situation where he could not do anything, he simply gave up on his personal cultivation and chose to catch up in terms of power.
It could be said that he had gambled all his gains from the Yang-Exterminating War in this round.
To Jung Genzun, he was sitting at home when an imperial edict came from the heavens. He was suddenly told that he had been rewarded with the opportunity to cultivate at Jixia Academy for a whole year!
This meant that his series of attacks against Chung Geng Sheng had come to an abrupt end. Before he could make the final move to slaughter the dragon, the entire chessboard had been taken away. Then, his opponent slowly made the next move, and he could only watch. He could not even see it!
Cultivating at Jixia Academy for a year was indeed a great benefit.
However, compared to the entire Junggenjia, which was more important?
Jung Genzun did not fly into a rage out of humiliation. He just smiled and said, "You should eat less in the future. Being too fat is not good for your body."
Even though he was an enemy, Jiang Wang had to admit that this person was outstanding and was a first-class person.
Chung Geng Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Brother."
Jung Genzun returned the gesture. "I have yet to thank you for asking for my reward."
Jiang Wang looked at this unusually warm scene. There were only four words in his heart — Brother, Brother, Brother, Respect!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The footsteps, which seemed to be constant and clear, came from the road near the city wall.
Then, an extremely tall figure walked over with large strides.
He walked over from the faint morning light. It was as if he had cut open the sky. He gradually became clearer and more concrete.
His black martial attire was simple and straightforward.
Long face, high nose, and sharp eyes.
It was the last disciple of Da Qi's Military God, Jiang Mengxiong, whom he had met outside the Heaven Palace Mystic Realm. He was the man who was known as the strongest Heaven Ascension State in the world and had broken the limit of Heaven Ascension State in the past … Wang Yiwu!
This was something that could be predicted. Thus, neither Chung Geng Sheng nor Jiang Wang reacted much.
Only Jung Genzun smiled.
It was a smile that was truly released. It wasn't that his previous conversation with Chung Geng Sheng was hypocritical. It was only at this moment that this kind of smile was completely from the bottom of his heart.
It was a sign of complete trust in him.
"I'll leave this mess in the city to you," Jung Genzun said with a smile, tilting his head to look at him.
Wang Yiwu didn't smile. He only said, "Don't worry about your cultivation."
Then, Jung Genzun didn't even look back. His white robe fluttered as he walked toward the Gate of Ji.
He walked casually and confidently.
He didn't say another word.
The eunuch of Donghua Pavilion didn't stop for a moment. After he gave the verbal order, he rushed to Marquis Bowang's Mansion.
It would be disrespectful to Lord Qi to do anything under the eunuch's nose without his permission.
Therefore, if he wanted to do something or had the opportunity to do something, he could only do it before the eunuch of Donghua Pavilion announced the decree.
The fact that Zhong Xuanzun was able to get the news before the imperial eunuch of Donghua Pavilion arrived was already very impressive.
And he chose … to inform Wang Yiwu!
