Astral Apostle Chapter 250: Pleading and grievances

  Chapter 251 Intercession and Injustice

  Shenxiao Chongling Temple.

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

  "A real person is here, quiet amidst the noise, it is very quiet, it is really a good place for self-cultivation."

  Qin Song was blowing tea foam, smiling and chatting.

  "Qin Xiangruo is interested, and will come more in the future."

   Zhou Jing responded casually.

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

  Since returning to the Beijing Miansheng, he has received a lot of rewards, both real and false, and a new title has been added on his head. The emperor changed his name to him.

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

  The officials of all sizes in the court are quick-witted and well-informed. They naturally understand the meaning of this change.

  At the same time, the ability that Yufeng Zhenren showed this time is like a man from heaven, and all the officials are in awe.

  With the threat of Chen Feng, the real person will probably become an indispensable and important offering to the imperial court in the future.

  Therefore, there was an endless stream of officials who came to visit and curry favor, knowing that Yufeng Zhenren's meritorious deeds this time won the favor of the emperor, and the future is boundless.

  The threshold of the Taoist temple was almost broken, but Zhou Jing did not take advantage of the momentum of meritorious service to expand his contacts everywhere. Instead, he thanked most people for visiting on the grounds of recuperating his injuries, and only occasionally met some important officials in the court.

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

  The rest of the time, Zhou Jing stayed behind closed doors in the Taoist temple, practicing spells, training his disciples, and pretending not to be proud of credit or favors.

  Now that he is a man of the hour in Beijing, his every move is watched by people, and he has won a further holy family. It is too late, it is better to avoid the limelight.

  About the criminal evidence of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Zhou Jing did not continue to intervene. After suing the emperor and handing over the assassin to the Dali Temple, he didn't care about it any more.

  After all, in the emperor's heart, the Yuding Sect still has status, and it is impossible to beat him to death with a stick, but in order to calm his dissatisfaction, it is likely that Ning Zhongjun and his party will be overwhelmed and show an attitude.

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

  Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly smiled:

   "Commander Lu ordered Dafuda, and the poor are very pleased."

   Immediately, he turned to 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 because of the help of Prime Minister Qin. Since we are all acquaintances, why don't we invite him to come in and have a talk? How about Qin Xiangyi? "

  Qin Song narrowed his eyes, said with a calm smile, "It's up to you."

  Zhou Jing nodded, and said to his disciples, "Go and ask Commander Lu to come in."

  The disciples took orders.

  Not long after, Lu Longchuan and others, who were busy with travel and dust, walked into the house.

  Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene clearly, they didn't expect Qin Song to be here too.

  Sun Rong teased Lu Longchuan, and hurried forward to salute:

   "I've seen real people, I've seen Prime Minister Qin."

  The rest hurried to follow suit.

  Zhou Jing accepted it calmly, and then laughed:

  "When Huyang is farewell, Pindao thought that Commander Lu and Junjun Sun had fallen into the hands of thieves. Now it seems that auspicious people have their own destiny."

  Hearing this, Lu Longchuan's face darkened.

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

   "It's easy to teach the real person, and Qin Xiang knows that after the defeat that day, we fled with our defeated soldiers, but we were still captured by the thieves, and almost died in Huangquan. It's just that the bandit leader Chen Fengnian once owed my elder brother For a favor, let us go down the mountain, saying that we will only be spared this time, but the thieves have taken many brothers as hostages, we have no choice but to return to Beijing to report on our duties first."

  He did not hide the fact that he was caught and released by Chen Feng. Although this matter would become a stain, he couldn't hide it.

  In the future, if those old brothers who had defected to Chen Feng fought against the imperial court on the battlefield, they would be implicated instead. Therefore, even if this embarrassing experience would be criticized by others, it must be divided in advance.

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

   "So that's how it is... Well, it's not easy for you to escape from Chen Feng's hands."

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

  Qin Song blew the tea foam, and seemed to speak casually: "Your army was defeated and returned to the capital. Why didn't you go to the Privy Council to report on your duties, but came here instead?"

  Sun Rong was so frightened that his back broke out in cold sweat.

  Their original backer was Qin Song, and they came here to cling to the real Yufeng, and they were suspected of changing their families, which is not a glorious thing.

  Of course, this matter should be done away from the original owner, but he didn't know Qin Song was here before, and his heart immediately turned cold.

  Zhou Jing spoke at the right time, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Commander Lu must be thinking about my colleague. Come 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, no one knew what was going on in his heart.

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

  "I still have official business, I will visit the real person next time."

   "President Qin, walk slowly."

  Zhou Jing also gave face, got up to see him off, and Sun Rong and his party hurriedly accompanied him.

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

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

  "Commander Lu, you have led the army to a great defeat. This crime is inevitable, and you will be held accountable by the Holy One. If it weren't for your lax command of the army, the soldiers would be bribed, and the poor would not be poisoned. This battle may not be impossible. Shengzhi... You guys don't report to work after returning to Beijing, but you come to me, but do you want to ask for help?"

  Sun Rong hurriedly pulled Lu Longchuan to salute, his tone was excited and sincere, and he couldn't care less about Qin Song's thoughts, he said:

  "Don't dare to lie to the real person. Only the real person can save our lives right now. I hope the real person will save our lives for the sake of our friendship."

  They didn't go to report on their duties immediately, so they naturally wanted to sneak in secretly, using the face of Master Yufeng to bypass the Privy Council and go directly to the Holy Spirit. Only by convincing the emperor can they get a lighter punishment.

  Otherwise, they would go straight to business, and since they were recruited, most of them would be directly controlled, with no room to operate, and they would end up dead or alive, so after returning to Beijing, they would not care about other things, and took the risk to find the real person.

  Zhou Jing frowned, and said deliberately: "Poverty is just a young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, and he is not qualified to intervene in military and political affairs. How can I save you?"

  "The real man is capable, his status is transcendent, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. We cannot escape the responsibility of defeat in this battle. We dare not trouble the real man too much. We only want a chance to survive. The real person is waiting for me to say a few words..."

  Sun Rong repeatedly bowed and begged.

  Zhou Jing did not change his face, and said slowly: "Commander Lu and Junjun Sun, although we are in the same robes, the poor are not soldiers. I have done my best in this battle, and the defeat is not my responsibility. It's because you have no way to command your troops, why should the poor way excuse you?"

  Sun Rong gritted his teeth and knelt down to make a statement.

  "As long as a real person saves our life, we are willing to join the real person, no matter what the real person asks, we will never refuse!"

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

  They can even kneel to the emperor, and now they kneel down to a world-class expert who can save their lives, and who is capable beyond the heavens, naturally there is no hesitation or grudge.

  Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, he pondered deliberately for a while, and then said slowly:

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

   "Thank you for saving my life!"

  Sun Rong and the others were overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to salute.

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

   Zhou Jing looked at the group of people saluting with subtle eyes.

   Unexpectedly, this group of guys finally defected to "myself".

  Seeing how grateful they are, the father of the Indian thief is still in the dark.

  Accepting these people is useless for a while, but Zhou Jing is not sure whether it will be useful in the future, anyway, it is just a matter of raising a finger, so let's move on to the next step.

  ……

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

  The emperor was furious and denounced Lu Longchuan for his incompetence face to face. Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to refute.

  Lu Longchuan blamed the internal ghosts for the defeat. Among them, Xiang Tianjie was the one he resented the most, saying that this person was secretly collaborating with the enemy and alienating the internal forces.

  There were signs of inner ghosts' activities in this battle. Now that Lu Longchuan has thrown all the blame on Xiang Tianjie, no one will suspect others.

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

  Of course capital punishment can be avoided and life crime cannot be escaped, and relegation is certain, and the appeasement envoys and Jiedu envoys promised during the recruitment before are even more forgettable.

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

  Although it was for the imperial court to fight for the family fortune, as long as they could save one life, they felt lucky, and they never dared to resent the imperial court to kill the donkey again.

  When the emperor went to court on the second day, the emperor Xuan Lu Longchuan and his party entered the palace.

   All civil and military officials were well informed, and they all knew that Lu Longchuan went to see Master Yufeng yesterday.

  The ministers couldn't help elevating the status of the real Yufeng in the eyes of the emperor again, and they became more and more in awe of the real Yufeng beside him.

  Right now, the Jade Cauldron Sect is clearly losing power, and as a peer, Yufeng Daoist will surely be able to rise further.

  Qin Song didn't get in the way. Although this group of people took the initiative to change the family, which made him very dissatisfied, he didn't want to create a quarrel with Master Yufeng, so he just sat by 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 the waste can be used, let them serve as a medium to deepen the friendship between him and the real Yufeng , that is also good.

  In the days that followed, Zhou Jing didn't care about the changes in the court anymore, and went to court every day in a daze~IndoMTL.com~ and then went home to "retreat and recuperate", living a fairly regular life.

  The problem of the Yuding Sect is still fermenting naturally. I have not yet shuttled to Chen Feng, and it is not time for the demolition, but Lu Longchuan and his party have saved their lives. There are still many follow-up reports on this battle. For the time being He doesn't need to do anything.

  The imperial court is not idle here, and is mobilizing troops wantonly, preparing to formally send troops to conquer Huyang Chenfeng.

  It took a while.

  On this day, Zhou Jing was testing his disciples' martial arts in the temple, when suddenly an educated door boy hurried over.

  "There are three people outside, claiming to be Ma Zhen, Huang Ping, and Yu Wenyan, and they want to ask to see the master."

   Zhou Jing frowned.

  These three people seem to be the generals appointed by the imperial court to command the troops.

  This time I came to find me, probably like Lu Longchuan did last time, to ask me to come out to help, right?

  "Then let's meet."

  The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth curled up, and he secretly smiled.

  The next injustice appeared.
