As the successor of the Jin family in the Northern Regions, he is the famous third son of Ice Spirit City.

Of course, Jin Sanliang knows what the so-called tinder is.

It's just that there are too many kinds of fires in the world, and there are even more inferior fires mixed in them, not to mention that there are many similar ones in the Jin family's treasure house, which is not very attractive to Jin Sanliang.

As for the fire that has existed for hundreds of years in Lu Mengli's mouth, Jin Sanliang is not very willing to believe it.

Although he had heard of the existence of a fire that could exist for hundreds or even thousands of years, it was just a legend, and in his opinion, such legends that had never been confirmed before his eyes were false and could not be easily believed.

So he didn't rush to answer Lu Mengli, but turned his gaze to Cao Chuan, who was sitting in other positions.

Because from the time Lu Mengli mentioned the tinder, he noticed the suppressed excitement on Cao Chuan's face.

"It seems that Cao Gongzi should be very interested in that tinder."

Jin Sanliang knew what Cao Chuan was thinking at this time just by looking at it, but he didn't say it directly, but secretly said in his heart: "Maybe you can be a favor, so that you can not only solve the troubles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also further deepen the relationship between Cao Gongzi and my Jin family..." In this way, it kills two birds with one stone, which is very cost-effective. ”

Anyway, Jin Sanliang, who had never used it and thought that he would never use the fire in the future, immediately made a decision in his heart.

So when he saw the expression on Lu Mengli's face becoming more and more gloomy, he knew that now was the most suitable time, so he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Although the so-called fire is not very attractive to my Jin family, it is very rare to have a fire that can exist for hundreds of years, so please let Her Majesty the Empress calm down, if you are willing to agree to the next small condition, then the Jin family of the Northern Regions and the Ice and Snow Heavenly Sect will fully assist you in purging the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

"On what terms?"

Hearing what Jin Sanliang said, Lu Mengli, who immediately raised her head excitedly, stared at Jin Sanliang with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said eagerly: "As long as it is within my ability to bear the conditions, no matter how many I can accept!" ”

In order to solve the internal and external troubles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Mengli, who was about to be unable to support it without the help of Meng Feiran, was about to give up just now, and now when he heard Jin Sanliang say this, he was naturally willing to use various methods to complete this transaction and cooperation.

And Jin Sanliang, who saw Lu Mengli so excited, still looked indifferent, and only frowned slightly in the face of the former's questioning, and then stretched out his hand and beckoned to Cao Chuan.

Seeing Jin Sanliang waving at him, Cao Chuan, who instantly understood that this was the other party seeking that fire for himself, first glanced at Jin Sanliang with grateful eyes, and then walked to the position next to Jin Sanliang and sat down.

After Cao Chuan sat down, Jin Sanliang slowly opened his mouth and said to Lu Mengli: "Your Majesty the Empress doesn't need to be in such a hurry, let me introduce you to this friend of mine, Cao Chuan." ”

"Cao Chuan?"

Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he has been busy dealing with the affairs of the court, and only occasionally pays attention to various news and rumors from other places.

But coincidentally, she happened to have heard the name Cao Chuan.

It's just that the reason why she heard the name Cao Chuan was because she had heard of a person named Liu Chen.

It is said that the person named Liu Chen was originally just a disciple of the branch of the Tianling Academy in the Southern Emperor Domain, and later became a disciple of the branch by the Tianling Academy because of his outstanding talent, and later he was taken to Zhongzhou to practice by the main family of the Zhongzhou Tianling Academy.

Because his talent is very good, he immediately became a personal disciple of the Tianling Academy's own family after practicing in Zhongzhou for a few years, and at the same time, he is getting closer and closer to many families in Zhongzhou, and it is even rumored that Liu Chen may even become the son-in-law of the dean of the Tianling Academy, which can be said to have stood at the highest point of Zhongzhou's power.

When Liu Chen is mentioned, it is inevitable that several other names will be mentioned.

There will be wine, Xue Meng.

But one of the most frequently mentioned names is Cao Chuan.

Among the various news and rumors that Lu Mengli inquired, Cao Chuan grew up in the Tianhe Holy Land in the Southern Emperor Domain since he was a child, and he was only an outer disciple of the Tianhe Holy Land at that time.

So when she first heard the name Cao Chuan, Lu Mengli didn't take it seriously.

Even if Cao Chuan later succeeded in joining the Heavenly Spirit Academy and directly became a disciple of the Inner Gate Elder, Lu Mengli also felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Liu Chen.

As for other news and rumors, Lu Mengli was really busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he never paid attention to it again.

However, due to various rumors and news before, Lu Mengli has already regarded Cao Chuan as a weakling.

Whether it is the Southern Imperial Domain or the Northern Domain, or the rest of this world, everyone and every force must rely on their own strength to be able to speak.

Weak, Lu Mengli doesn't like to deal with weak people.

It's just that now Jin Sanliang personally said that Cao Chuan is his friend, and it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad.

This made Lu Mengli feel very strange, she didn't think that the person named Cao Chuan in front of her had anything special worthy of Jin Sanliang's attention.

So she cautiously asked Jin Sanliang: "Third son, this Cao Chuan, but Cao Chuan, who was driven away by the Tianling Academy and wanted by Liu Chen?" ”

"That's right, it's the Cao Chuan you've heard of." Jin Sanliang did not refute, but opened his mouth to admit it after glancing at Cao Chuan.

"Why are the three sons..." Lu Mengli was dumbfounded, she didn't know why Jin Sanliang did this.

"Hehehehehe... Please also ask Her Majesty the Empress to be calm and not to be impatient. ”

Jin Sanliang, who could see what Lu Mengli was thinking at a glance, immediately waved his hand and said: "I think Her Majesty the Empress should have heard of a saying that hearing is false and seeing is believing, and the reason why I say this is because there are many things that are not at all like what you hear, even what you see with your own eyes may be false." ”

"Just like this friend of mine, Cao Chuan, Cao Gongzi."

"He was only wanted if he was maliciously framed by that Liu Chen."

Because he wanted Cao Chuan to join the Jin family, Jin Sanliang had always sent people to investigate Cao Chuan's identity and various past experiences, so his understanding of Cao Chuan could be said to be very deep.

In addition, this is a very good opportunity to win over Cao Chuan, and Cao Chuan himself has never said anything to stop it.

So he drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then opened his mouth to tell everything he had investigated.

"Actually, the matter between Cao Gongzi and that Liu Chen is also related to a man named Jiang Jin Jiu and a woman named Xue Meng."

"And it stands to reason that Liu Chen first used dirty means to deal with Jiang Jinjiu, and then it would lead to Jiang Jinjiu, Xue Meng and Cao Gongzi to resist."

"Of course, before I mention anything else, I have a question for Her Majesty the Empress, and I hope Her Majesty the Empress can answer it head-on."

"Oh? I don't know what question the third prince wants to ask me? Lu Mengli became curious after hearing Jin Sanliang's explanation, so she patiently waited for Jin Sanliang to speak.

Jin Sanliang was not ambiguous, and he was not afraid that Lu Mengli would flee directly, and said bluntly: "Actually, Cao Gongzi is a real human race, but he has indeed cultivated the exercises of the demon race, and even has an extremely close connection with the demon race. ”

"What I want to ask Your Majesty the Empress is, what do you think of the Demon Clan? After leaving the Jin family, will you inform the world of the news and let everyone in the world come to arrest Cao Gongzi? ”

Just such a sentence is enough to prove Jin Sanliang's attitude towards Cao Chuan.

Cao Chuan also trusted that Jin Sanliang would not fall into the trap at this time.

So both of them turned their eyes to Lu Mengli, which made Lu Mengli feel like she was on pins and needles.

So she quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

Fortunately, there was no major contradiction between the human race and the demon race before, and the reason why Cao Chuan was wanted was also because Liu Chen wanted to deal with him.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Mengli had already calmed down and made her own decision.

She looked up at Jin Sanliang and Cao Chuan, and said, "Then please ask the third prince to continue the story of this Cao Gongzi, I am very interested and want to know who the friend who can be recognized by you is." ”

"Okay, since Her Majesty the Empress wants to know, then I'll continue to talk about it."

Jin Sanliang nodded with satisfaction, and after glancing at each other with Cao Chuan, he continued the topic just now, and said: "Cao Gongzi's bloodline strength and cultivation talent have been recognized by Elder Wu of the Heavenly Spirit Academy and me, and we all agree that Cao Gongzi's talent in cultivation is definitely far superior to Liu Chen, and the reason why Liu Chen is stronger is just because he is older. ”

"And compared to character."

"Cao Gongzi never does those dirty things that bully people and seize them by force, but Liu Chen likes to do this kind of angry thing the most, and he also uses his power to suppress anyone who wants to rebel against him."

And that's not all.

Jin Sanliang can be said to have told Lu Mengli everything he knew.

Since the two sides want to cooperate, it is necessary to be honest with each other.

After listening to what Jin Sanliang said, Lu Mengli immediately showed an apologetic look and apologized to Cao Chuan, and then looked back at Jin Sanliang and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the person personally recommended by the third prince, the Great Zhou Dynasty is willing to cooperate with it." ”

"I just don't know what this Cao Gongzi's cultivation realm is..."

Although in terms of personality and even talent, Jin Sanliang personally guarantees it.

But if you want to solve the troubles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not enough to have strength.

So before reaching the final cooperation, Lu Mengli wanted to know if Cao Chuan had the strength to help him.

If her strength is insufficient, she would rather discuss cooperation with Jin Sanliang again.

Her gaze turned to Cao Chuan.

Cao Chuan understood that this was the other party's desire to know whether he was qualified to be a helper of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So he released his cultivation realm slightly.

The four heavens of the Yuan Shen Realm.

"Yuan Shen Realm Quadruple Heaven!"

After Cao Chuan revealed his cultivation realm, the first person to be shocked was Jin Sanliang, who had a good relationship with Cao Chuan.

You must know that he and Cao Chuan haven't seen each other for more than a year, and when the two met for the first time, Cao Chuan's cultivation realm was still only the contemplation realm.

Now, more than a year has passed.

He Jin Sanliang only broke through from the Condensing Realm to the Purple Mansion Realm Triple Heaven under the tilt of the resources of the entire Jin family, and his talent was already good in the Jin family.

"Cao Gongzi, you really don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster."

Thinking of Cao Chuan's entry over the past year, Jin Sanliang couldn't help but be shocked and sighed: "But in just over a year, you have cultivated from the Condensing Realm to the Fourth Heaven of the Yuan Shen Realm, your cultivation talent is better than I imagined, and it is even higher than that Liu Chen, I don't know how many times..." It's amazing..."

"More than a year to cultivate from the Condensing Realm to the Yuan Shen Realm?"

Jin Sanliang's exclamation made Lu Mengli, who was sitting on the side, who was already surprised by Cao Chuan's cultivation realm, even more incredulous.

But Jin Sanliang didn't need to deceive her at all.

Even if there was no Cao Chuan, the Jin family still had enough Yuan Shen Realm cultivators, not to mention that according to rumors, there were two Tribulation Realm powerhouses who were responsible for protecting Jin San's personal safety.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, although there are also monks in the Tribulation Realm, they are all some old men who have not come out of the world.

The Great Zhou Dynasty itself did not even have a single Tribulation Realm monk.

If you want to solve the problem of the court, one Yuan Shen Realm monk is actually enough, not to mention that there is the Jin family behind it.

"Then can there be a fake?"

Jin Sanliang chuckled and said to Lu Mengli: "I remember it very clearly, because I personally went to the Southern Emperor Domain Tianling Academy, and met Cao Gongzi at the New Disciple Conference, and I also competed with Cao Gongzi. ”

"I still remember that I had already lost to Cao Gongzi at that time, you must know that I am the successor of the Jin family, not only do I have a large number of cultivation resources, but I also have a powerful monk to teach me personally."

"But Cao Gongzi's strength is unimaginable."

"Now that I have broken through to the realm of the Four Heavens of the Yuan God Realm, I guess Cao Gongzi wants to fight me, but I'm afraid that he can defeat me without using a single move, right? Hahahaha! ”

Seeing that the expression on Jin Sanliang's face didn't look like a fake.

At the same time, he was also observing Cao Chuan, knowing that Cao Chuan's bone age was only seventeen years old, and it was even more difficult for Lu Mengli to suppress the excitement in his eyes.

Afraid that there would be no shop after walking through this village, she hurriedly said: "Then ask the third prince to draw up an agreement, I believe that the third prince will choose the candidate for me." ”

"Oh?"

"So that's it?"

Jin Sanliang looked at Wen Jinghao behind Cao Chuan with interest, and Yu Qinglan, who was standing not far from the door at this time.

Without saying what he was thinking, he immediately beckoned to find a subordinate.

The contract is already in the hands of the servants.

"As long as the two of them sign the contract with their names and fingerprints, then the contract is valid."

"In this way, the Jin family and Cao Gongzi will reach a cooperation with the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lu Mengli was naturally impatient, and directly signed her name and handprint on the contract.

Cao Chuan glanced at Jin Sanliang first, and then completed the contract with Lu Mengli, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"That's it! Then the contract is complete! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Mengli anxiously wanted to pull Cao Chuan away.

The next second, he was stopped by Wen Jinghao in advance.

At this time, Lu Mengli realized that her actions seemed to be a little excessive, so she smiled at Wen Jinghao and Cao Chuan embarrassedly, and then whispered: "Since the contract has been established, then ask Cao Gongzi to accompany me, just so that we can explain all the things that need to be solved on the way." ”

"Her Majesty the Empress can arrange it."

After patting Wen Jing's little head and asking her to quickly restrain the hostility she exuded, Cao Chuan followed Lu Mengli out of the lobby.

After leaving the lobby, he looked at Yu Qinglan, who was leaning against the doorpost, and said, "Qinglan, are you going to wait for me here or go to the Great Zhou Dynasty with me?" ”

"Of course I went with you."

Yu Qinglan himself is not from this world, so naturally he has little interest in this world.

Now that the affairs of the descendants of the family have been resolved, it is better to continue to follow Cao Chuan's side than to stay in a place that he is not familiar with.

It just so happened that Cao Chuan and her had already been combined with yin and yang, and the relationship between the two couldn't be closer.

So after leaving the Kim family.

Cao Chuan took Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan to board the empress chariot belonging to Lu Mengli.

The carriage was pulled by a Pegasus demon beast with four wings on its back, and its cultivation had reached the realm of the Divine Hidden Realm.

With the four Pegasus moving forward at full speed, they could send everyone back to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was some distance away from Ice Spirit City, in a few days.

The carriage has a lot of space, enough for ten people.

In addition, Lu Mengli is the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the decoration in the car is naturally splendid, revealing the wealth of the prosperous Great Zhou Dynasty in only a hundred years.

Climb aboard the carriage and fly into the air as the Pegasus monster begins to pull the cart and the horse.

Lu Mengli, who finally suppressed the excitement and grievances in her heart, opened her mouth to talk to Cao Chuan about the predicament she and the Great Zhou Dynasty encountered.

Originally.

Since Meng Feiran's death, the Hidden Dragon Guards who obeyed him have undergone several personnel changes in the passage of a hundred years.

Therefore, except for the first batch, many people in the Qianlong Guard have begun to have evil thoughts, not only contacting foreign clans privately, but even wanting to take advantage of the night to sneak attack and assassinate her, the empress of the Great Zhou.

If it weren't for her cultivation for a hundred years, she would still have some self-preservation power, but I am afraid that she would have been killed by the inner ghosts in the Hidden Dragon Guard long before that.

In addition, many ministers in the court saw that Meng Feiran was dead, so they made things difficult for her everywhere, and even sent people to spread rumors in the national capital at one point, wanting her to take the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian.

"So Her Majesty misses me... What to do? Cao Chuan asked.

"It won't be very difficult for you Gongzi Cao."

Lu Mengli's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a murderous tone: "I don't want to see Qianlongwei again." ”
