Chapter 63: The Cabinet Takes Shape
"Taifu, what do you mean?" On the roof of the restaurant, Hornak asked Chen Bufan.
Chen Bufan touched his gray beard and asked suspiciously, "Last time you were there, did this kid in the restaurant make a move on Qianjue?"
Hornak thought for a moment and affirmed, "No, it's a mutated elemental attribute kid who fought against Qianjue, before him was a little girl with a body protection spirit ball configuration against the sky, and then the second child of the Xiao family came, and they retreated." ”
"I see, the old man expected it to be true, and this is a favor for others. Chen Bufan said in a deep voice, "In that case, you and I should go home." ”
"Just left, Taifu, didn't you say that you wanted to avenge Dean Wu on the way here?"
"Didn't you listen to what this kid said? You and my junior brother are the same way, the old man doesn't want you and my junior brother to be in bed to cultivate, and I am really not suitable for doing it with others, it's okay that the two of us succeeded, but if we failed, where will the old face go? If you don't want to go home, go down and eat leftovers with Qianjue. ”
This time, Qingtian's plan to steal the heart of the 30,000-year-old spirit beast from the Changchun City Auction House went bankrupt with Long San's visit.
Originally, he had secretly observed the security and handover of the auction house for four days, although he had already been exposed, but as long as he wanted, the heart of the spirit beast tonight must be in his bag.
In the night sky, a figure jumped strangely in the direction of due east, his figure flickered and flickered, and every time he disappeared and appeared, the surrounding air would solidify to form a pitch-black space.
I saw him grabbing the back of a cat's neck with one hand, who else could it be if it wasn't Qingtian?
"As the intelligence leader of the organization, from the moment you entered the restaurant, three people discovered the abnormality, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Long San was obviously very uncomfortable being caught by Qingtian, but it was rare that she didn't answer.
"Your biggest flaw is that you are young and beautiful, and you wear such an expensive dress, such a woman will not go to a place where men drink and have fun at night, you are too eye-catching. Qing Tian didn't care about Long San's silence and continued.
"Originally, you didn't have to make a move, as long as you switched to the form of a civet cat, you could get out of the way, but you just took the restaurant owner hostage in one more move, you know that I won't use the indiscriminate elemental attack to quickly kill the more than ten Royal Forest Army. Qing Tian lifted Long San, and the faces of the people and cats were almost pasted together.
"Before the scuffle, the person who had not cultivated Jingyuan provoked you with words, but you didn't scold you back, and pretended to be in a hurry, so I was distracted and used Jingyuan Technique to relieve you. Qing Tian stared at Long San's cat's eyes and calmly analyzed, "You know that my physical condition is not able to fight a protracted battle, so I was forced to consume a large amount of essence power, you originally planned to let me use the anti-membrane technique, right?"
Ryuzo didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb this time, "You're very smart, so it's useless for you to use Heaven and Earth with fewer side effects." ”
Qing Tian closed his eyes and continued to perform spatial jumps in the night sky, "That Lord knows very well how much I need the heart of a spirit beast in the high year now, but why did he send you to sabotage my plans?"
Long San was silent for a moment, and then returned to his previous frivolous tone, "You go and ask him personally, Sanniang is just acting on orders, and the task he received is just to let you use up the essence in your body as much as possible." ”
In the Imperial Capital Restaurant, with the departure of Qingtian and Long San, the vines outside the building withered.
The guest room on the fourth floor is not small, but now it is a little crowded.
Xiao Qianjue sat in the middle with Qing'er in his arms, looked around at everyone, and took the lead in speaking, "Let's introduce yourself, let me know who won't let me sleep at night." ”
Lu Guanchen touched his nose, a little embarrassed, after all, he made his own initiative to capture Qingtian, but Xiao Qianjue didn't plan to leave anyone behind, his own Jiang Thief Yang was blind in one eye, Ye Tianxuan's wrist was shot through, and Jiang Huafan's calf was also hit by an arrow, although this arrow was shot by him, but he still put the responsibility on Qingtian.
"Xiao Xiang, in Xia Lu Guanchen, now doing some small business in the city, this time the responsibility is mine, I acted rashly without full certainty, and finally let Qingtian run away. Lu Guanchen pretended to be annoyed and whispered, observing Xiao Qianjue's expression as he spoke.
Xiao Qianjue heard Lu Guanchen's words, and couldn't help but pick a thumbs up in his heart, this person is not only shrewd, but also sounds good, after all, his brother in order to help him make meritorious contributions, except for Feng Boting, basically all the people were injured, and the culprit Qingtian let him go because he wanted to repay his favor, but Lu Guanchen took the responsibility on him, in order to consolidate his prestige in the hearts of his brothers?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianjue pretended to be displeased and said, "How many catties and taels are you, don't you count them in your heart? Is Qingtian so easy to deal with? How is Dean Wu, who is still lying at home now, look at you, one is blind, the other has a broken hand, what are you doing!"
Hearing Xiao Qianjue's anger, Jiang Kouyang and Ye Tianxuan, who had already been bandaged, both knelt on the ground, "Xiao Xiang is angry! Brother Lu can't be blamed for this matter, I am also eager to make meritorious contributions, so I will act rashly because I can't do anything." ”
"Okay, get up, let me introduce yourself, except for Guanchen, don't you all understand human words?" Xiao Qianjue can be regarded as having enough official addiction today.
"Xiao Xiang, in Xia Feng Boting, a native of Mocheng of the Star Picking Empire, has been in the capital of the Star Empire for more than three years, translating books from other countries, teaching people who go to work in other countries some common words, and cultivating Jing Yuan to just reach the Yuan Master. Feng Boting introduced himself.
Xiao Qianjue's eyes lit up, it seemed that Feng Boting was no more than two years older than himself, but since he could settle down in Changchun City, where the consumption level was not low, he could translate in foreign languages, and his talent in Jingyuan cultivation was also good, and he was indeed an excellent talent.
Seeing that Jiang Piaoyang and Ye Tianxuan were still kneeling there and didn't dare to speak, Mei Niang from the auction house spoke, "Brother, these two are also your world friends, the restaurant owner Jiang Piaoyang, his grandfather is Jiang Zhenbei, the other is named Ye Tianxuan, and his grandfather is Ye Ming, they are all old friends who are officials in the same dynasty as Ling Zun." ”
Xiao Qianjue first glanced at Mei Niang, who told the story of the two people, and then looked at the two "wounded" in front of him who were still kneeling there, he handed over Qing'er to Mei Niang, and pulled the two of them up from the ground one by one, "Since you are a friend of the world, you are your own people, and they have said that you two will get up, and you two are still kneeling, a little too much to take me, the prime minister, in your eyes." ”
Xiao Qianjue deliberately accentuated the word "generation", revealing that he had no real power as a prime minister, and he was not angry just now, but the two of you kept kneeling and didn't speak, as if you were bullying others.
Ye Tianxuan was obviously smarter than Jiang Piaoyang, he motioned to Jiang Piaoyang with his eyes, and then said, "Ye Tianxuan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the last general, was fortunate to see Xiao Xiang's demeanor today, and the injury on his wrist immediately stopped hurting!"
Ye Tianxuan's words are extremely level, Xiao Qianjue is the acting prime minister and belongs to the civilian leader, Ye Tianxuan, as the deputy capital of the Imperial Forest Army, belongs to the military general faction, and it stands to reason that he should call himself a subordinate official, but he calls himself the last general, which shows that he has made up his mind to follow Xiao Qianjue, and he doesn't take the military leader Hornak seriously at all.
Of course, Xiao Qianjue heard the mystery of it, and was very interested in the last sycophants of this "cream boy", only to see him smile and say, "Haha, if my big face can make people heal the wound at a glance, then if a medical center is opened, won't Mrs. Chen and Old Man Chen retire?"
His words drew laughter from everyone, and Xiao Qianjue's humor also made everyone less restrained.
There was only one person who didn't laugh, and that was Jiang Qiyang, not that he didn't give Xiao Qianjue face, but that he didn't understand...
Looking at Jiang Qiyang with an unknown expression, Xiao Qianjue didn't explain anything, but took the initiative to say, "I've already heard what Guanchen said about Brother Jiang pulling Qingtian out of the other space just by brute force, and you can also break through the spirit beast armor of that guy in Qingtian with one sword, you are really brave!"
Hearing Xiao Qianjue's praise, Jiang Thief Yang laughed stupidly, "Xiao Xiang, in the future, I will follow you and be your guard, if anyone makes you angry, I will directly cut him in two!"
Xiao Qianjue didn't wear a high hat for Jiang Piaoyang just now, although he had never fought with Qingtian, but from Wu Buzhi's description, it can also be seen how weird Qingtian's body is, no matter how strong your cultivation is, it is impossible to hurt an opponent you can't touch at all, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianjue laughed and said, "With the sentence of stealing the ocean, I will rest assured, who will dare to provoke me when I travel to this world in the future!?"
Hearing Xiao Qianjue praise himself so much, Jiang Thief smiled even more happily, "Xiao Xiang, don't worry, I will follow you in the future, and if anyone wants to plot against you, I will step on my corpse first!"
Xiao Qianjue was overjoyed when he heard this, "I am fortunate to meet four brothers today, this is a blessing of a thousand people! I don't hide it from you, today's love sky and Long San, as well as the previous Lingyun'er, Ember Burning, Flower Forgetfulness, and my younger brother Xiao Qianji, who has lost his conscience, belong to a secret organization, although it is not clear their purpose, nor is it clear about the strength of their organization, but every time I think of them, Qianjue will be stabbed in the back, shuddering, I don't know if the four brothers can help Qianjue?" Of course, thousands of people know the grace of the report, and will not let the four contribute in vain, he will never go to the name of the prime minister every day, and he will be a good word for the four in front of the Son of Heaven, and then the officials will be added to the knighthood, and we will share the wealth!"
His words made Lu Guanchen and the others all moved, today they are desperately dragging off Qingtian, in order to use this as a meeting gift to seek a future by Xiao Qianjue's side?
Although following Xiao Qian is in danger of his life, but the risk and return are also proportional, there is no risk in setting up a stall, there is no risk in teaching foreign languages, there is no risk in running a restaurant, and there is no risk in running an errand in the palace, but when will he be able to get ahead in such a life?
The husband should make immortal achievements!
This is the idea that came to Lu Guanchen's minds at the same time, and he saw the four of them kneeling on the ground together, "The four of us and the other brothers swear to follow Xiao Xiang to the death today, and go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire for Xiao Xiang, and serve the work of dogs and horses!"
Xiao Qianjue mixed them up one by one, and said movingly, "Qianjue has no power and no power now, and he has a false name, thanks to the four brothers who don't dislike it, you plus Sister Mei Niang, who is in charge of intelligence, I also have a classmate who is a cultivator, but he is not here today, with your help, that organization wants my life, and I also have the confidence to touch them!"
Lu Guanchen and the others were overjoyed when they heard that Xiao Qianjue had agreed to do things by his side, and then Jiang Qiyang raised another question, "Xiao Xiang, it doesn't matter if I and Brother Lu Lao Ting, Ye Zi has an official position, in case Your Majesty knows that his guards are working under you, I'm afraid it will ......."
Before Jiang Thief finished speaking, Lu Guanchen preemptively said, "It's okay, Ye Zi doesn't have to follow the lord every day, he should be on an errand in the palace, and the brothers should drink when they are resting, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so you can't restrict the courtiers from making friends reasonably, right?"
Lu Guanchen changed the title of Xiao Qianjue from Xiao Xiang to the lord, and unintentionally revealed a piece of information, that is, to call Xiao Xiang, then when he Lu Guanchen entered the court as an official, he was the courtier of the current emperor surnamed Chen, and he was no longer Xiao Qianjue's person. And if Xiao Qianjue is called the main prince, then he Lu Guanchen is the retainer of Prime Minister Xiao Qianjue, and has nothing to do with the current emperor.
The gap seems to be just a name, but in fact, Lu Guanchen's anti-heart to assist Xiao Qianjue to ascend to the throne of God has been clearly revealed, and no one present is a fool, except for Jiang Baoyang, of course.
Xiao Qianjue heard that Lu Guanchen had changed his name to be the lord, and his back suddenly felt cold, he first looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said casually, "You follow me to help me fight against that mysterious organization, this is the most important point, as for the rest, I just want to cultivate to be able to reach the Yuan Shen Realm, of course, as long as there is a chance, it is also appropriate to ask Your Majesty for a reward and a seal for you, do you understand?"
It was everyone who asked, but it was Lu Guanchen who was watching.
Lu Guanchen didn't care, only to see him smile slightly, "Lord, I don't understand." ”
Xiao Qianjue was laughed at by Lu Guanchen's ignorance, "Guanchen, you treat me as a mutton skewer and roast it on the stove." ”
"It's all your own people, look at what you said, brother, so is Guanchen, in the middle of the night, don't think about supper. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Mei Niang hurriedly started a round.
Feng Boting Ye Tianxuan Meiniang is smarter than the other, Lu Guanchen's idea is not their idea, but Xiao Qianjue's concerns are also reasonable.
Only Jiang Baoyang, a rough man who is not long-hearted, didn't understand the situation, seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly a little subtle, and listening to Xiao Qianjue's charming mother, they were lamb skewers again, and they were supper, Jiang Baoyang suddenly realized, it turned out that Xiao Xiang was hungry!
"What's that, everyone is hungry, right? I know a barbecue restaurant, Wei Tezheng, on a memorable day like today, we can go and order mutton skewers and drink some wine!" Jiang Qiyang excitedly proposed, as soon as he said eating meat and drinking, he felt that the blind eye didn't hurt anymore!
The original embarrassing atmosphere was broken by Jiang Baoyang's humble behavior, Xiao Qianjue raised his wrist to look at the time, and snapped his fingers, "What Baoyang said is right, today is worth celebrating, Qing'er, please go to the academy and call Si Yuchen Xingyingying." ”
Qing'er meowed, "Together I am your girl!"
Seeing that the black cat actually spoke, Jiang Fengye's three big men were jumped at the same time, Jiang Qiyang was even more exaggerated, and went directly under the table, "Oh mom, this cat has become a sperm!"
