Chapter Ninety-Eight: Worship the Shuai

The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people are lucky and unlucky.

While Jiang Chengfeng, Huo Fu, and Wen Jin, the three brothers, paid a terrible price in the battle with the Burning Sun God, some people gradually climbed to their peak.

Zhou Juqi shuttled between the pavilions of the imperial city, and it was Qi Can who led the way for him.

The imperial city is very large, although Zhou Juqi has also come with his grandfather Zhou Hong, but after all, he governs the East Acropolis, so he is not familiar with the imperial city.

Looking at the exquisite palaces scattered one by one, Zhou Juqi didn't feel anything, although the territory was much smaller than the imperial city, but when it came to luxury, his Dingshan Mansion was not necessarily much inferior.

"Father-in-law Qi, dare to ask His Majesty to edict me to enter the palace, what is the so-called matter?"

Zhou Juqi has been very busy in the past two or three days, and he has to help the government deal with the affairs of the Zidao people, and the defense of the East Acropolis also has to be taken care of, so he is not very reluctant to come to Zhang Yuntao for the sudden edict to find him today.

In his opinion, if there is anything, just let Qi Can find his grandfather Dingshan Gong Zhou Hong, and let him do something.

"Oh, we don't dare to figure it out. Qi Can smiled, his face furrowed: "But it must be a good thing." ”

After being speechless all the way, when Zhou Juqi arrived, he just caught up with Zhang Yuntao to go to court, and under Qi Can's arrangement, he stayed in a palace called "Duobao Palace" to greet Zhang Yuntao.

It was another hour, Zhou Juqi sat indifferently in the hall, Qi Can had already gone out, and he was the only one left in the huge Duobao Palace.

"Huh?"

Zhou Juqi's ears were buzzing, and he felt a breath rushing behind him.

As the eldest grandson of the Duke of Joyama, he is by no means the kind of arrogant and lascivious gentleman, he can sit on the first position of the East Acropolis defenders, he relies on a pair of iron fists to make a name for himself in the army, and the sense of crisis tempered in the military is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"What people!"

When Zhou Juqi turned around, he saw a sturdy masked black-clothed man who had touched him, and his body was fluttering, and he knew that he was a master at a glance.

Before the palm arrived, an endless, dam-breaking flood-like internal force had locked Zhou Juqi, and under the strong impact, he almost lost his footsteps.

"The Lion King Sutra!"

"Roar!"

Zhou Juqi reacted quickly, and he didn't dodge, his hands were clasped in the shape of claws, and he locked the man in black with one palm, and at the same time let out a roar like a lion, and the surging internal force rolled back, and in an instant, the other party's flood-like power was scattered.

The strong wind swept from the center of the two of them to all sides, knocking down all the tables and chairs in the hall, and Zhou Juqi's braids also fell from his neck, spreading out into a black messy hair, matched with his tall body, he really looked like an angry lion.

"Dare to commit murder in the imperial city, wait for this son to take you down!"

Before he finished speaking, one of his pair of lion claws began to pressurize, and he was about to destroy the man in black with one hand.

"Good kung fu!"

For some reason, the man in black actually praised Zhou Juqi, and his voice was indistinct.

"But that's not enough!"

"Waves Sweep Heavenly Court!"

Tsunami, which Zhou Juqi, a person who grew up in the Northland, has never seen before, but now he has this feeling, he can be sure that he is facing a tsunami.

The waves are more and more vigorous, just like the internal force of the man in black, like a tsunami-like force, shaking Zhou Juqi's pair of lion claws away.

"Look at the move!"

Those wave-like internal forces, after scattering and rushing away, regathered back into the hands of the man in black, and hit them with such a condensed and simple punch.

But in Zhou Juqi's perception, in front of him, a huge wall of water formed by wild waves gathered, with the fear from the deep sea and the destructive power that devoured everything, to destroy him alive.

The man in black also used all his strength, and Zhou Juqi couldn't fight anymore.

"Raging Lion's Roar!"

"Roar!"

He opened his mouth wide and roared out a dull sound wave.

"Boom!"

This lion's roar was already done by Zhou Juqi, and the sound wave collided with the wave, tearing a big hole in the ground of the Duobao Palace.

Under the competition of the two tricks, the powerful impact force also made Zhou Juqi and the man in black both stand unsteadily, no matter how they run their skills, they can't resist this oppression.

"Bump, bump!"

There were two muffled sounds, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, and after a mess, the result was evenly matched.

"Whew!"

A figure rushed into the hall, and a few flashes approached the two of them.

Zhou Juqi endured the pain in his chest and saw clearly that it was Qi Canqi's father-in-law.

"Father-in-law Qi, quickly take down that thief!"

As if he hadn't heard, Qi Can went straight to the black-clothed man's side, helped him up, and then injected his pure internal force into his back, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty is all right?"

Your Majesty?

Zhou Juqi wondered if he had heard it wrong, how could it be His Majesty?

After Qi Can's defeat, the man in black also woke up from his dizziness, took off the mask on his face, and a young face came into Zhou Juqi's eyes, and it was Zhang Yuntao.

He didn't see Zhang Yuntao many times, so much so that after he confirmed it many times, he decided that this was indeed Zhang Yuntao, the Emperor of the Manifest Gods.

"Father-in-law Qi," Zhang Yuntao got up slowly: "Go and help Gongzi Zhou up." ”

"No need. Zhou Juqi turned over and got up, he was just a moment of lack of qi and blood, and he really didn't have any serious injuries.

Taking two steps forward, Zhou Juqi knelt down: "See Your Majesty." ”

"Hurry up, please. Zhang Yuntao actually stepped forward to personally pull up Zhou Juqi.

"I didn't tell Zhou Gongzi in advance, it was abrupt. Zhang Yuntao smiled: "But you have to forgive me, because I have to try your martial arts for the sake of the country." ”

Zhou Juqi was confused when he heard this, and asked, "What is Your Majesty talking about?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuntao's tone suddenly became serious: "Zhou Juqi listens to the seal!"

Zhou Juqi hesitated, then knelt down again.

"I have appointed you as the generalissimo of the rebellion, and from now on I will be in charge of the military talisman, except for the Imperial Forest Army and the City Defense Army, all my armies are under your control, and when the rebel soldiers and horses gather, they will go to the south to fight the rebellion on my behalf!"

Zhou Juqi only felt that his ears were buzzing, he knew that according to his identity and strength, he would never be the leader of a city defense army, but he never thought that the heavy responsibility of conquest of Zhang Tianxi's regime would fall directly on him.

"Your Majesty......" Zhou Juqi calmed down, returned to his unfazed nature, and said: "The minister is bold, dare to ask Your Majesty, there are not no older generals in the army, why did he suddenly give the position of marshal to the minister?"

"That's a good question. Zhang Yuntao said: "This position of marshal, at the beginning, you were recommended by Lu Yiping, the general of Hongchuan Pass, who said that you have a prestige in the army, and you are familiar with military books and are skilled in the art of war. ”

Speaking of Zhou Juqi and Lu Yiping, the two do have some origins, once when Zhou Juqi first entered the army, when Zhang Yunlan and Zhang Yue were competing for the throne, Zhou Hong decided to fully assist Zhang Yunlan, in order to prevent failure by Zhang Yue liquidation, he sent Zhou Juqi to Hongchuan Pass, called Experience, in fact, it was to keep him away from the battle in Chenghuafu.

At that time, Lu Yiping was not a general of Hongchuan Pass, but a commander in the Red Dragon Army, Zhou Juqi happened to be under him, in just one year of getting along with the two, Lu Yiping highly appreciated Zhou Juqi's talent in the art of war, and asserted that he would not be in the pool in the future.

can talk about friendship, the two are just gentlemen's friends, not much is better, at most they are ordinary friends, and it is rare that Lu Yiping still remembers Zhou Juqi after many years, so he recommended him in front of Zhang Yuntao.

"This is not a reason for the minister to be this marshal. Zhou Ju said angrily: "Please give your majesty a reason for the minister." ”

Zhang Yuntao was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "You are so bold, but I appreciate you more and more, to tell you the truth, I also felt inappropriate at first, but after discussing with the prime minister, I think you are suitable." ”

"I ask you what is the most important thing about an army. ”

Zhou Juqi said directly without thinking: "The time, the location, and the people are all indispensable, and the people are the top priority." ”

"That's right," Zhang Yuntao nodded, and said, "I and the prime minister chose you because you are that person." ”

"Me?" Zhou Juqi was a little surprised: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Yuntao's eyes flashed with a calculating look: "Dingshan Gong is seriously ill, and he has many protégés in the army, and we have not fought in Chenghua Mansion for many years, if we rashly choose one person to go up, who would dare to guarantee that there will be no trouble?"

"And you, Zhou Juqi, have passed my test. ”

"I have decided to help you take over the title of Duke of Jozan, and the Prime Minister's subordinates will fully support you. ”

"People and ......" Zhou Juqi savored it carefully, and then bowed down with five bodies: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are in charge." ”

......

Emperor Zhang Yuntao issued an edict that shocked the entire Chenghua Mansion and even the entire Dayue.

Ten days later, take the stage to pay respects!
