The relationship between Shen Ning and Wei Liang is not bad, but if there is something wrong, Wei Liang generally does not take the initiative to recruit Ning.

Sure enough, Wei Liang arched his hand and smiled: "Pass on Your Majesty's message, Shen Xianshi has both ability and political integrity, extraordinary chess skills, and gives him the position of chess edict, and he is at his disposal." ”

Win Qin had talked to Shen Ning about the matter of the chess edict before, but there were a lot of things in the past few days, and Shen Ning had long forgotten about it, but Win Qin had always kept it in mind.

"Congratulations to Immortal Master Shen." Wei Liang sighed sincerely: "Immortal Master Shen is only a weak crown, and he can serve the imperial front, and his future must be limitless. ”

Wei Liang's sentence is not wrong, there are two routes for the Great Jin Dynasty to become an official, one is the imperial examination, and the other is the recommendation.

The imperial examination is generally prepared for the family and the poor family, and the official career left for those who have the talent to govern the country.

And the recommendation is more biased towards those of them who cultivate immortals, such as Li Xuanji, the current Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, who inherited the position of the Heavenly Master by the previous Heavenly Master.

If he can get the approval of Emperor Jing, his future development will not be the position of the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but also the feudal official who guards one side.

However, the duties they are responsible for are different from those of the officials who have gone out of the imperial examinations, and the officials who are practitioners are basically responsible for various otherworldly affairs.

"Immortal Master Shen, let's go back to the palace with our family first." Wei Liang whispered: "Your Majesty and the crown prince are still waiting." ”

"Then I'll ask my father-in-law to lead the way."

......

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Win Qin is playing against Emperor Jing.

The situation on the chessboard is not optimistic, his big dragon is about to be cut off by Kuroko's rotten waist, and the total collapse is only within a few dozen hands.

"Although my father has been busy with political affairs over the years, his chess skills have become more and more sophisticated." Win Qin Touzi admitted defeat and sighed: "Erchen is not the opponent of his father. ”

Emperor Jing, this majestic king, wearing a dragon robe, his eyebrows and eyes were full of the unique majesty of the superior, and he said lightly: "If you don't reach the Jedi, how can you easily say defeat." ”

"If the general trend of the world is like this, the sons and daughters should fight to the death." Ying Qin smiled, his eyes showing respect for Emperor Jing, "But this is just a game of chess, my father is tired on weekdays, since he has already lost the game, it is not beautiful to be entangled again." ”

Emperor Jing glanced at Ying Qin, who was known as benevolence and righteousness in the court, and motioned to the inner chamberlain to put away the chess pieces, "You have a heart, let you order troops in the school field these days, how are you prepared." ”

Ying Qin pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously: "A total of 100,000 guards, counting the statistics of the hundred disciples of the Immortal Family in various places, there are a total of 110,000 disciples, and there are also 2,700 powerhouses above the Tianxuan realm. ”

With just a few words, Emperor Jing could tell that Ying Qin had worked hard these days, and it was not an easy task to just count the cultivators from all over the country who could go to the north.

"Sima Yan, the head of the household department, was on the fold yesterday." Emperor Jing picked up the sunspot and dropped the chessboard again, "The grain and grass equipment that the army has opened are still being raised, and Beimang has broken through the seven cities of Hebei Province in a row, when are you going to go north as the commander of the three armies?" ”

Knowing that this was Emperor Jing's intention to test himself, Ying Qin had actually thought about the current question for a long time, and the answer was also very fast: "Hebei Province is an important place at the junction with Beimang, and the local garrison has stored a lot of grain, grass and ordnance over the years, although it is not enough to arm the 110,000 army, but Erchen has discussed with Sima Yan to transport the ordnance, grain and grass sent from all over the country to the north in advance, and when the army is integrated, it can be replenished along the way." ”

Emperor Jing bowed slightly, expressed his approval of Ying Qin's arrangement, and admonished: "You have quite an opinion on military affairs, but this is the first time you have led troops outside, and most of your actions must be based on Gao Shiqi's opinion, and you must not act recklessly. ”

"It is a battle related to the national fortunes of the Great Jin, and the emperor should act cautiously."

"A few days ago, Pingyang and Luli, I intended to marry Pingyang to the son of the Gao family. But I listened to the advice of the waiter, saying that you found a young man to compete with Gao Gong to test the sword dance, and defeated Gao Gong from a Jiangmen family in a few moves? Emperor Jing's eyes lifted slightly, as if he had inadvertently asked about it.

Win Qin naturally would not deny it, and immediately admitted, "There is indeed such a thing." ”

Emperor Jing paid attention to the chess game, and talked about the general situation in the DPRK and China as if he was chatting about homely things, "Do you know that the Gao family is quite prestigious in the army. ”

"The retainers know." Ying Qin explained: "Father, it is precisely because of this that the sons and daughters will arrange like this. In addition to the reason why Princess Pingyang likes this person, but also because he is talented and intelligent, he is sincere to children, and he has been practicing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for 17 years. ”

The chess pieces fell on the chessboard and made a crisp sound, and Emperor Jing seemed to have seen through the chess game, and said in a deep voice: "In your thoughts, don't you mean to help the Gao family?" ”

Ying Qin was stunned, and smiled bitterly in his heart, as expected, he couldn't hide anything from his wise father.

As Emperor Jing said, the children of the Gao family have infiltrated into all parts of the Great Jin military in recent years, and their prestige is quite heavy.

The Northern Expedition is undoubtedly a battle of national fortune between the two countries, and Gao Shiqi, the squire of the military department, is the deputy marshal of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

If the Gao family can keep to themselves, they will be out of the court, and it is good to be an honest and loyal dog, if not, these honors will undoubtedly make the Gao family fall into a place of no return.

At this moment, an attendant walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Shen Ning of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has arrived outside the Heart Nourishing Palace. ”

Emperor Jing didn't know much about Shen Ning, and when he learned that Shen Ning had defeated the Gao family's son in the ceremony, he asked people to investigate.

After learning that the Nanxiang Demon Plague and the Caozhuang Ghost Plague were both from this young man's handwriting, he had a three-dimensional perception of it, and it was generally good, so he acquiesced to Ying Qin's request to let him serve as a chess edict.

"Xuan."

"No." The chamberlain got the approval of Emperor Jing, and immediately summoned Shen Ning to the Palace of Cultivating Hearts.

Entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, Shen Ning knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully: "Foreign Minister Shen Ning, I have seen Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Get up." Emperor Jing looked at the young man in front of him.

Dressed in black, his body is like a jade tree Lanzhi, with a grass-green belt around his waist and a long sword, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, and his face is handsome and extraordinary.

Ying Qin nodded to Shen Ning on the side.

Unlike Shen Ning's imagination, Emperor Jing did not let him sit down, nor did he talk to him about anything else after he let him calm down, but continued to play against Ying Qin.

The end of one round, another round.

Emperor Jing's chess skills are good, and it can be seen that even if he tries his best to win Qin, it is difficult to win under the careful layout.

After two hours passed, another game ended with Emperor Jing eating and winning Qin Dalong.

Only then did Emperor Jing glance at Shen Ning from the corner of his eye, and seeing that his face was always respectful, he slowly spoke: "Listen to the prince, you now have the cultivation of the peak of the Chaoxia Realm?" ”

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, the foreign minister has already stepped into the spiritual realm to cultivate a few days ago." Shen Ning replied.

Emperor Jing's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Before Ruoguan, he is already a spiritual realm cultivator, and I am afraid that I can't find a few people with such talents all over the world." ”

Ying Qin was obviously also a little surprised by Shen Ning's rapid progress, put down the chess pieces, and looked at the playmate who had grown up with him.

Shen Ning's heart is under a lot of pressure now, there is no need to think about the existence of unknown powers in the Great Jin Palace, if he accidentally exposes the secret of the strange aura, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the palace today, maintain a calm face, bow down and say: "Before the ghost disaster of Caozhuang, Weichen had a new understanding under the nine deaths of his life, so he could step into the spiritual realm so quickly. ”

"Yes, being able to comprehend in the situation of nine deaths and one life is the same as when your master was at the beginning." Thinking of Li Xuanji, Emperor Jing's face slowed down.

Seeing that Emperor Jing and Shen Ning were talking, Ying Qin got up and said, "Erchen is busy with affairs in the army, and he can't get out yet, so he will come back another day to play against his father." ”

Emperor Jing nodded in agreement, and after Win Qin left, Fang continued: "Since you are a chess edict attendant recommended by the crown prince, and you will play a game with me. ”

Shen Ning naturally would not refuse.

Emperor Jing took the lead in black, and the fall was extremely fast, but every step seemed to be well thought out, and there was a connection between them.

Shen Ning often played against Ying Qin in Tingchao Pavilion, he did not deliberately study it, but he still had his own opinions on chess skills, coupled with the fact that Ying Qin and Emperor Jing's chess paths were similar, and he even had a faint upper hand for a while.

The crisp sound of falling children came and went in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it didn't take long for it to come to the end stage.

Emperor Jing's layout is tight, but Shen Ning's big dragon has become a north-south joint attack, and the competition at this stage is the foundation of the two in chess

It's a pity that after a few steps, Shen Ning not only did not form a combined force, but was surrounded by Emperor Jing's sunspots on the edge of the chessboard.

After blocking all the vitality of Shen Ning's dragon, Emperor Jing began to enjoy the fruits of victory, eating away at Shen Ning's dragon step by step.

Shen Ning's speed slowed down, and he deliberately showed a look of hard thinking, even if there was no room for survival, he was still struggling.

Seeing that Shen Ning had not given up and conceded defeat, Emperor Jing had fallen a son at the dragon's eye, and the chess game that was bound to be lost was undoubtedly accelerated by this move.

Shen Ning's face was calm, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and it is difficult for ministers to win." ”

"It's rare to have such chess skills at such a young age." Emperor Jing seemed to be in a good mood, and motioned for the inner servants to collect the chess pieces, intending to fight again.

Shen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor didn't like to crush opponents, and people like him preferred the feeling of a Jedi turnover.

The two were playing against each other, but another chamberlain walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Tsing Yi Division has come to report, the demon trouble of Lujiazhuang, the Vermilion Bird and the three star officials who have waved it have lost contact, and the people who went to investigate have not returned." ”

Shen Ning frowned slightly, Vermilion Bird ranked? Zifu Lingyue!

Emperor Jing's hand paused, and then continued to fall, asking, "Has the fire of her life ever been extinguished?" ”

"Two of the three Nakshatra Officers have fallen." The chamberlain replied, "The flame of Suzaku and the new Yanagisu has not yet been extinguished. ”

The fire of life is the secret technique of the Tsing Yi Division, which is used to link the practitioners of the Tsing Yi Division with a candle flame, if someone encounters an accident, the life fire will be extinguished, and the Tsing Yi Division will also get the news in the first time.

A chess piece was held in the palm of Emperor Jing's hand, and the majesty of the emperor was undoubtedly revealed, and the inner servant was so frightened that his breathing was a little weaker, "The two star officials have fallen, and the army is about to go on the march, this group of outlaws will pick the opportunity to tell Li Yanzheng that no matter what he does, they must make them pay the price." ”

"No." For example, the attendant who was amnesty left the Heart Cultivation Hall quickly, for fear that he would be affected by the pond fish if he took a little slower.

However, when such a thing happened, Emperor Jing, who was still angry one moment, returned to his previous state and continued the unfinished chess game with Shen Ning the next moment.

Shen Ning was as if nothing had happened, concentrating on playing against Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing changed his previous chess path, and his killing moves were frequent.

Shen Ning's insights on the chess path were extraordinary, and he could barely gain the upper hand, but once he reached the final stage, he could no longer hold the chess game, allowing Emperor Jing to win with the advantage of two sons.

The chamberlain collected the chess pieces beside the two of them, but Emperor Jing waved his hand to withdraw the chess game, obviously no longer thinking about the game.

"What do you think of Lujiazhuang's Class B demon trouble?" Emperor Jing suddenly asked Shen Ning in a loud voice.

"The strength of the Vermilion Bird has reached the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and the twenty-four stars all have their own mysturgical techniques, and it stands to reason that the second-level demon trouble is not tricky in their eyes, but now they have lost their connection with the Tsing Yi Division, and I am afraid that there are other forces behind Lujiazhuang as the driving force." Shen Ning analyzed: "Weichen thinks that the world is in turmoil, and now that the army is about to go on an expedition, it is best to use this matter to wipe out this force, even if they can't, they need to know the pain points, so that they can settle down for a while." ”

Shen Ning said what Emperor Jing was thinking, which was also the reason why he ordered Li Yanzheng to make this group of people pay no matter what.

"Your Majesty." Shen Ning suddenly knelt on one knee, "Weichen is willing to deal with the matter of the demon disaster in Lujiazhuang." ”
