Chapter Ninety-Six: Strange Jade
In the Great Xia Palace, in front of Emperor Xia, King Qingping sat cautiously on the chair. Although the court passed, Emperor Xia called him into the palace again.
This made him a little apprehensive!
"Chen'er is also a big boss, you can't always mess around at home, as my Zhao family's son, go to Dingzhou to find a position as a partial general, hone it for a few years, and one day you can go to Northern Xinjiang to kill the enemy and make contributions!" Emperor Xia said softly.
Although he can't be unscrupulous on the surface, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything! Dingzhou is not a frontier, but it is also very close to the frontier!
It's relatively peaceful, but it may be transferred to the frontier at any time! King Qingping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Chen'er has not yet been qualified, nor has he been trained in the army, so he dared to go out... I'm just afraid that it's..."I didn't finish speaking, but it was obvious that I didn't want Zhao Chen to leave Kyoto!
Emperor Xia glanced at him and said coldly: "What I don't want you to do, you dare to do it, I let you do it, you don't want to do it, then what do you want to do?" Isn't it easy to use my words? "King Qingping can hear it, Emperor Xia is very unhappy!
And he also knew very well that Emperor Xia's displeasure was not because he didn't want to go to Zhao Chen to go out!
"Brother don't dare!" King Qingping hurriedly spoke: "Everything depends on Your Majesty." Emperor Xia's old eyes stared at him, and he said coldly: "You are also old, enjoy your old age in peace, don't make it difficult for me to do, the affairs of young people are left to young people!" ”
"Brother Chen, I know!"
"Let's go down!" Seeing him go out, Emperor Xia shook his head slightly, and muttered: "It's quite old, don't end up with a bad death, everyone doesn't look good!" Half an hour later, Chu Ze entered the palace.
It is still the residence of Emperor Xia. Chu Ze bowed and saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty!" "Goodbye Chu Ze, Emperor Xia's eyes lit up!
"Recently, I have cultivated to enter the realm, but it's not small!" He complimented. got down from the couch and said with a smile: "Come, accompany me to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow!" "In the Imperial Garden, the flowers have long since withered, but there are many trees, and the snow hanging on the trees is beautiful.
Emperor Xia walked in front, Chu Ze followed behind Emperor Xia's right hand, and Huang Qi followed more than ten steps away from the two of them.
"Chen Guogong wasn't injured last night, right?" Emperor Xia asked casually. Chu Ze replied: "No! Grandpa, he was old and strong, and he subdued the assassin in a few moves. Emperor Xia glanced at him and said softly: "But I heard that yesterday morning, Chen Guogong was still seriously ill and in a coma!" Chu Ze grinned: "But there is such a thing, but grandpa he was in a coma in the morning and woke up in the afternoon, no one expected that the assassin would come at night, what a coincidence!" Emperor Xia ignored him and sold him cheaply, but said: "It's good that he is in good health, Guogong is my meritorious minister of Great Xia, Dinghai Zhushi, there is no room for mistakes, go back and tell Chen Guogong that I have sentenced the Jiang family to be beheaded, let him settle down and cultivate, don't make another move!" After Emperor Xia finished speaking, he turned his head, stared at Chu Ze and asked, "Do you understand?" Chu Ze smiled bitterly in his heart, what did he not understand.
Doesn't it mean that you are not allowed to go to the trouble of the Qingping Palace?
"Understood!" Chu Ze responded honestly. Don't trouble them now, but Chu Ze still has to write down this account!
Emperor Xia was very satisfied with his reaction, and a smile appeared on the old man's face: "You kid, I heard that a few days ago, you led the team to kill a bandit who picked up the Star Realm?" ”
"It's just a fluke!"
"There's nothing to be lucky about, there are so many patrol teams, how can you successfully kill this villain, it's still meritorious!" Although in the case file, he had already confessed to hiring black and green shuangsha, but Emperor Xia seemed to be completely unaware of it, and continued: "Lead the team to kill the bandits who picked up the star realm, and protect the people of Kyoto, you should be rewarded!" After a while, you will be allowed to go to the palace vault to choose a treasure below the third floor, and then you will be promoted to the position of deputy general of the partial army, which can be regarded as a grade! Emperor Xia patted Chu Ze on the shoulder.
The lieutenant, although he is an officer, is actually an officer with no rank, just the lowest officer! As the partial general who commands thousands of people, he is an eight-rank military attaché, and a partial army deputy general is a nine-rank military attaché!
Officially become a ranked-up officer! Official taste is the opposite of martial arts rank. The official position is nine numbers, one grade is respected, and martial arts cultivation is the opposite.
In fact, generally speaking, according to the unspoken rules of Great Xia, the first heir of the Xungui family to enter the court will be rewarded relatively high.
Most of them start at the general level. And after that, if there are heirs entering the court, the rank will be much lower. For example, Chu Ze's wife, Chen Xirui, is a general, and Chu Ze is just a school captain.
Chu Ze killed a master of the Star Realm, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with promotion, after all, meritorious service in the army is to be rewarded, compared to civilian officials who often have to complete their term of office, in fact, promotion and appointment and removal in the army are more direct.
Chu Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Chen Jinsong knew Emperor Xia very well. really compensated himself, allowed himself to go to the palace vault to choose a thing, and promoted himself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Ze bowed and saluted. Emperor Xia ignored it and continued to walk forward, and Chu Ze also hurriedly followed.
"It's good to be young, energetic, hopeful, not like me, I'm already old. It's like these dead trees..."Emperor Xia seemed to be a little sad, looking at the dead trees covered with snow and sighing.
Chu Ze didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand aside and accompany him. After enjoying the snow scene for a while, Emperor Xia said to Chu Ze: "Okay, go to the secret vault and go back after picking up things, say hello to Chen Guogong for me, and tell him, take care of your health!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Huang Qidao: "You go with him!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Qiying got down and left with Chu Ze. The palace was very large, and Chu Ze followed Huang Qi slowly in the palace.
"Hehe, it's not bad for your kid to enter the realm, but sometimes you don't have to be greedy, you still have to polish your body well, the foundation of a martial artist is very important!" While walking, Huang Qi also gave Chu Ze advice.
Obviously, whether it is Chen Jinsong or Huang Qi, including the system, there is a consensus on this point.
Chu Ze smiled: "I've been trying my best to polish my body recently, but my skills have entered the realm faster, and I really can't keep up." ”
"When forging the ninth layer of the Bone Realm, it is best to have the strength of ten thousand catties, and then go to the cultivation method, it will be very beneficial to you!" Huang Qi said.
Chu Ze was stunned, he really didn't know this. He didn't know how much strength he had now, and he hadn't tested it on purpose.
However, he doesn't need to be like this, anyway, as long as he completes the system's enhancement task, it should be about the same.
"Thank you Senior Huang for your advice! I wonder if the seniors can give some guidance to the treasures in the secret vault? Chu Ze was also not polite, seeing that this Huang Qi seemed to have a good impression of himself, he also asked for advice.
Either way, you only get one chance. Huang Qi pondered for a moment and said: "This palace secret vault is full of cultivation resources, natural treasures, weapons and equipment, but below these three layers, there is nothing too cherished, it depends on what you need, and I can't give specific suggestions." Hearing this, Chu Ze was a little disappointed.
It seems that you can only rely on yourself. Soon, Chu Ze and Huang Qi came to the front of the secret vault. There was also someone on duty, this person was also a eunuch, and when he saw Huang Qi, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I've seen Mr. Huang!"
"Your Majesty said, let him choose a treasure on the first three floors of the secret vault, and you can take him in." Huang Qi commanded.
Chu Ze followed the eunuch inside. As far as the eye can see, there are countless unnamed things, grass, stones, and jade, all in all, there is no jewelry, but it looks a little tattered.
But next to these things, there are stickers to make explanations, so that Chu Ze can know what they are and what they are used for.
"Bone Eater Ecstasy... It is extremely poisonous, and it can make poison that is effective against the warriors of the Star Picking Realm..."
"Kunshan vigorous grass... It can be used to refine the Pill, and it has an additional aphrodisiac effect..."
"Huiyang Stone can gather the yang energy of heaven and earth.."
"Four-grade fierce beast seven-star beast skull." Seeing these things, Chu Ze swallowed his saliva. Don't look at these things as inconspicuous, but any one of them is definitely not cheap.
The eunuch followed behind Chu Ze step by step, everything here is recorded, if he really says that he lost one, then he will not be able to eat and walk around.
Don't think that no one dares to steal, there have been before, I don't know who took one more thing, and when I turned around, I cut down the eunuch in the treasury!
Chu Ze didn't plan to steal, but he didn't know what to pick for a while.
"Young Master Chu, let's go to the third floor, the things in the secret vault are better than the first layer, and you can see it in vain at this layer." The eunuch saw Chu Ze looking at the same thing, and couldn't help but remind.
"I'll take a look, I'm not in a hurry!" Chu Ze didn't listen to him, but still looked at it one by one!
After reading the first layer, Chu Ze went up to the second floor, which was the same as the first layer, but the things were of a higher grade. Chu Ze still walked through one item after another.
Suddenly, Chu Ze stopped in front of a stone the size of a head.
"Centroid Jade. Contains a strong aura of heaven and earth. It can be used as an eye to arrange the formation. Chu Ze looked at this piece of jade with some confusion!
What's going on? Chu Ze found that when he stood in front of this piece of jade, his whole body was a little numb, and his heart was a little frightened, just like when he encountered an enemy attack that day!
qqxδnew Chu Ze continued to move forward, this feeling began to weaken, but he gave birth to a feeling of wanting to go back, as if he was in love, as if he was longing... Chu Ze retreated again!
The eunuch looked at Chu Ze and said with a smile: "Young Master Chu has taken a fancy to this earth-centered jade?" If you want me to say, let's go to the third floor to choose. ”
"It's good, and I'm not in a hurry! Look again! Chu Ze still restrained himself and chose to move on!
After that, there are three layers, although the East and West are of a higher grade and more rare and precious. But there is no one that can give Chu Ze that feeling just now.
After reading everything, Chu Ze fell into deep thought. After a while, he smiled and said, "I really like that earth-centered jade, so let's take it." The eunuch was stunned, in his opinion, this earth core jade, in this secret vault, is definitely not a particularly outstanding thing.
I didn't expect Chu Ze to choose only such a thing!
"Young Master Chu, why don't we take a look at it again, you look at the third floor, there are a lot of good things! If you regret it, there's nowhere to change it! When things leave the warehouse, they are registered. Chu Ze smiled: "No, it's just that piece of earth-centered jade!" Chu Ze still chose to believe in his own feelings!
Soon, the eunuch and Chu Ze returned to the second floor, in front of the core jade. Approaching this piece of jade again, Chu Ze still felt clearly.
It's a special feeling that nothing else has. Chu Ze reached out to take it, and the stone the size of his head was extremely heavy.
However, Chu Ze's current physical fitness and strength are holding things, and there is no problem at all. The eunuch did not persuade him again, what Chu Ze chooses, that is Chu Ze's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
He just needs to make sure that Chu Ze didn't take more things, and that's it! When Chu Ze and the eunuch came out, Huang Qi had already left.
The two of them registered, and Chu Ze prepared to leave. At this moment, a young man also came to the door of the secret vault!
"Tianlong Yuan's Cui Shi's note, said to take the piece of geocentric jade on the second floor, Tianlong Yuan's array needs to be replaced!" The man handed the slip to the eunuch!
His eyes swept towards the Earth Heart Jade in Chu Ze's hand! The eunuch took a note, looked at the seal on it, shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness Ji Zhe, now this piece of earth jade has been picked up by this son, please go back and tell Master Cui." Zhao Jizhe's eyes swept over Chu Ze, and he was not angry, but stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile: "Under Zhao Jizhe, the third prince of the family, Yongxiu, dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" I'll go back and tell the teacher! "This Tianlong Garden, in addition to the princess and prince, there are also three generations and four generations of children of the royal family, all of whom can enter to study.
Great Xia did not say that it was a tradition of raising royal children and pampering them and doing nothing. The study, the practice, the post.
Therefore, within the imperial court, there are also royal children in many places. It can also be regarded as a means for the Great Xia royal family to divide their power.
These three princes, Yongxiu, can also be regarded as one of the contenders for the crown prince. In other words, in their position, there are too few people who do not want to be princes.
This Zhao Jizhe is the ninth son of Yongxiu! Similar to Chu Ze, his mother's status is not very high, just the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
Therefore, his identity is relatively general in the royal circle. There is a high probability that he will not be able to inherit the title of the third prince, and he will have the identity of a royal family, and everything will basically depend on himself in the future.
Of course, he can still enjoy the elite education of the children of the royal family and enter the Tianlong Garden. And Zhao Chen and his ilk, although they did not enter the capital of Tianlong Yuan, they could inherit the throne in the future, so in terms of status, he was really not as good as Zhao Chen.
Originally, Chu Ze thought that this guy would have to come up arrogantly and let himself give up this earth-centric jade, but he didn't expect that the one in front of him was gentle and extremely polite.
Chu Ze opened the Eye of the Root Bone and the Eye of Understanding! Root Bone: Six-Grade Understanding: Seven-Grade In Chu Ze's opinion, this root bone and comprehension can be regarded as excellent.
After all, there are relatively few root bones that can reach more than seven grades.
"In Xia Chuze, Chen Guogong's grandson-in-law." Chu Ze said with a smile. This is also a tradition in Great Xia, and when they report their homes, they often bring their elders with them.
After all, who knows who they are? Just like this Zhao Jizhe in front of him, Chu Ze must have no impression of him just by signing up for words.
"It turned out to be Brother Chu, I heard that Brother Chu fought the day before yesterday to pick up the master of the Star Realm! Our Cui Shi of Tianlong Yuan praised you for being alert and decisive! Moreover, Brother Chu is still the root bone of the ground level, and he is the future pillar of my Great Xia, and the younger brother is polite. "Zhao Jizhe's words are true, Chu Ze's combat case was directly taken to Tianlong Yuan to explain.
Of course, the main purpose of the family is to explain the impact of some of the sorcerer system on combat. As for Chu Ze, it's just a compliment in passing.
In that Cui Shi's opinion, Chu Ze's ability to discover the enemy in advance was the most commendable. And this Zhao Jizhe, with a very low posture, does not see the arrogance of the royal family at all, but calls himself the little brother.
With his behavior, Chu Ze naturally didn't want to sweep people's face, and he also said politely: "Your Highness, don't be polite." Zhao Jizhe didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but stepped forward and said with a smile: "I can see Brother Chu today, I am really fortunate to have three lives, I accompanied Brother Chu out of the palace, and I fought against Brother Chu that day, and I still have some details to understand, I hope Brother Chu can give me a few words." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the initiative to pick up the core stone for Chu Ze.
The two walked outside the palace, and Zhao Jizhe really began to ask some questions: "Brother Chu, how did you find the enemy that day?" It stands to reason that two masters of the Star Picking Realm, hidden aura, you can't find it anyway! Faced with this question, Chu Ze could only smile and say: "I don't know, I just feel wrong, and I have a creepy feeling on my body." At that time, it was just a trick, but I didn't expect them to rush out! ”
"Remarkable! It's amazing, if it were me, I would be wiped out! Zhao Jizhe looked amazed and chatted with Chu Ze.
The words were full of praise, and in the sound of sycophants all the way, Chu Ze and he came to the gate of the palace! Zhao Jizhe returned the piece of earth jade to Chu Ze, and said with a smile: "Today, I hit it off with Brother Chu at first sight, and I got Brother Chu's guidance, I am very grateful, I heard that Brother Chu seems to often go to Biliu Yuntian to play, I haven't been there yet, why don't I do it one day, how about inviting Brother Chu to play?" ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Chu Ze didn't take his words seriously, he just responded.
"Then I'll go back to Tianlong Yuan to resume my life, Brother Chu will leave!" Zhao Jizhe turned to leave. The smile on Chu Ze's face gradually dissipated.
"Sycophants are nice, but I don't seem to like getting too close to such sleek people!" Chu Ze sighed secretly.
Zhao Jizhe actually behaved very well, polite, full of praise, and seemed to have a sincere relationship with Chu Ze.
However, Chu Ze always felt that this person seemed to be wearing a mask. It's full of that kind of sleek and sophisticated.
In fact, there are many such people, who talk about people and talk nonsense when they see them. Even for most people, they will have a good impression of this kind of person.
Even Chu Ze in front of him could hardly have any dislike for him. However, Chu Ze instinctively didn't want to get too close to this kind of person.
