After the secret meeting in Floating Immortal Inn, Yi Tian, disguised as Viscount Hongshan, swaggered out of the main entrance that night. After getting on the carriage, he headed straight for Viscount Hongshan Manor.
The Asura nobles in the Floating Immortal Inn took note of this scene. Even though they were weak, their ability to observe people was not shallow.
As for Qiao Yongjun, he had his own way of leaving after disguising himself. No one noticed the whole process. Yi Tian was naturally very clear about these reputable figures in the Imperial Capital. They had their own ways.
After sitting cross-legged at home for a few days, Viscount Hongshan Manor received a conscription order from the Imperial Court. What Yi Tian did not expect was that Luo Ziyan also made a move. First, she arranged for the Imperial Army Selection Assembly to be presided over by Vice Commander Qiao Yongjun.
This was beyond the expectations of the court officials. The originally popular candidate, Luo Yao, was sent to carry out other urgent matters. Therefore, the Empress had no choice but to let the Vice Commander preside over the selection.
As a result, Prince Wei could no longer say anything. He even saved the effort of secretly sabotaging Luo Ziyan.
The second thing was to let Princess Fenglin preside over the selection on behalf of the Empress. At the same time, it was a powerful signal to the nobles of the Imperial Court. She also delegated the authority to let Luo Qingcheng pick talents from the nobles to lead the Imperial Army.
This time, all the nobles in the palace of the Empire were in an uproar. It was rare that the current Empress wanted to revive the reputation of the nobles and gave them such a rare opportunity. Everyone was trying their best to perform well in the Royal Army Selection Ceremony so that they could win a reputation.
Another piece of news was that the Imperial Army would also select people with high cultivation from the nobles. This was also an opportunity for the nobles of Asura to advance.
Finally, there was a letter of appointment for Viscount Hongshan. In view of Chu An's ability to learn talisman, Viscount Hongshan was specially appointed as the Logistics Advisor of the Imperial Army. He could be considered as a direct subordinate of the Empress.
In the eyes of outsiders, Viscount Hongshan was a blessing in disguise. After the assassination attempt, not only did he curry favor with the Crown Prince, but he was also accepted into the Imperial Army. All of this was just because the Empress wanted to borrow the prestige of the nobles again to take control of the court.
However, Yi Tian knew that Luo Ziyan was creating a channel for the two of them to meet. It seemed that the suggestion he gave her would require her assistance from the side.
But at least the matter between Qiao Yongjun and Luo Qingcheng was almost done. At this stage, he couldn't let them get in touch with each other too much. As long as Luo Ziyan gave the order, everything would be set in stone. Furthermore, as long as Qiao Yongjun gave the jade slip to Luo Ziyan, he would definitely be able to obtain the corresponding promise. This was much more effective than saying it himself.
However, Yi Tian felt that he had a lot of troubles on his hands right now. The letter of appointment required him to report to the Royal Army's logistics department at noon today. At that time, there would be a senior officer coming to lecture him. He knew very well that this senior officer was most likely Luo Ziyan in disguise. It seemed that he would have to listen to her complaints when the time came.
Just as he was thinking about it, the housekeeper of the Viscount Manor came to rush him. The carriage had already been prepared and was just waiting for the old master to board. After hearing the report, Yi Tian shrugged helplessly and reluctantly left the manor. After boarding the carriage, he headed straight for the Royal Army's logistics department.
Although Viscount Hongshan was a famous figure in the capital, his strength and cultivation were too low. On the way to the Royal Army's logistics department, he passed through several checkpoints but was not stopped at all. Yi Tian also patiently took out the letter of appointment in his hand again and again to prove his true identity.
In the end, he spent four hours before arriving at the main hall of the logistics department. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Imperial Censor Mei Baiji waiting for him. It seemed that Luo Ziyan was worried that he wouldn't be able to display his strength due to his identity. That was why she sent someone to pick him up.
After following Mei Baiji into the main hall, he saw that there were many people coming and going. However, most of them were in groups of three to five and were led by Deity Transformation cultivators. These people were all wearing the uniform of the Royal Army. It was rare for two of them to appear in the main hall, so they quickly attracted the attention of others.
Fortunately, Mei Baiji was leading the way. He was also wearing an official's uniform, so the people around him quickly made way for him. When he arrived at the main hall of the logistics department, he saw Luo Xiao standing in front of the door. It seemed that the two of them looked at Yi Tian for a long time with strange expressions on their faces.
Unfortunately, with his strength, he was unable to see through any flaws. After a while, Luo Xiao sighed and said, "You two must have been ordered to come here. Don't keep Milord waiting."
Mei Baiji smiled faintly and said, "Milord's order is to meet with Viscount Hongshan alone. I will wait outside. Lord Viscount, please."
Yi Tian casually nodded and stepped forward. He glanced at Luo Xiao and smiled faintly. Then, he gently pushed open the door and walked in.
There was a round table in the room. At this moment, a cloaked person was sitting at the table. Yi Tian closed the door and summoned a soundproof barrier. He slowly walked over and said, "Milord, I'm late."
Luo Ziyan took off her cloak and revealed her true appearance. Then, she revealed a dissatisfied expression and said, "You're quite brave. You actually dared to teach me how to do things."
"How is this teaching you how to do things?" Yi Tian leisurely replied, "Didn't you want to use this opportunity to draw in Prince Wei's faction and restrain the members of the imperial family? After that, you still have to win over the hearts of the nobles. There are so many things to do. I helped you deal with them. Now that I can kill many birds with one stone, you should at least thank me. "" Thank you.
My cousin's lifelong happiness was ruined in your hands just like that. Did you ask her if she really likes Qiao Yongjun? "Luo Ziyan said angrily.
"So that's why you're angry." Yi Tian smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to think too much about it. This is just your one-sided thinking. I don't think anyone asked Luo Qingcheng if she likes Qiao Yongjun. However, from my observation, Princess Fenglin's personality is stubborn. She insists on finding someone who can eat and live with her. "
"So you randomly matched her up and sent her away," Luo Ziyan replied.
"I definitely didn't send her away casually." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "According to my observation, Qiao Yongjun has cultivation and ambition. He definitely won't dare to stay under someone for long. All he lacks is an identity. Unless he wants to go out and become a loose cultivator and ignore the matters of the imperial family. "
Luo Ziyan pondered for a moment and said, "You're right. This person is a fierce general under Prince Wei. If we can rope him in, or at least make him remain neutral, it will be of great benefit to the government. "Luo Ziyan thought for a moment and said.
