Chapter 482: News from Madman Chu
Chapter 482 Message from Madman Chu
Shangjing,
Second Prince's Mansion.
Zhang Jing sat opposite the second prince.
There are some side dishes on the small table in front of him.
Originally, the two of them were served by a maid, but under Zhang Jing's signal, the maid retreated after pouring the wine.
This is the first time the two have met since their previous alliance.
The second prince, Li Xian, told about the situation during this period.
Including some nobles who voted for him, he also introduced it to Zhang Jing in detail.
Even though there are more and more people under him, the man in black in front of him is the one he can really rely on.
He can still grasp this point clearly.
If the man in front of him no longer supports him, some of the power he has gained now will be wiped out.
After keeping a low profile for many years, he once gained power.
Li Xian cherishes it very much, because this is his only chance.
Only by sitting on that supreme throne, can he control his own destiny and the destiny of others.
Before there were many people gathered, it was not that no one suggested that he should win the other party to check and balance Zhang Jing.
But they were all severely reprimanded by him, and he was expelled from the Prince's Mansion.
It's not that he really didn't have any thoughts in this regard, it's just that he thought about Zhang Jing's reaction and stopped some of his thoughts in time.
Such consequences are not something he can afford.
"Brother Zhang, please," Li Xian raised his glass with a smile, and drank with Zhang Jing.
"Although the situation in Beijing is temporarily clear, it is far from the time to relax. His Highness often used excuses to greet His Majesty," Zhang Jing put a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, this is obviously worthwhile."
"This time, I would like to congratulate Brother Zhang as the commander. Among the four commanders, I am afraid that Brother Zhang is the youngest, and he will definitely be the pillar of my Daqi in the future."
When Li Xian heard that Zhang Jing was in charge, he was actually happier than Zhang Jing himself.
Because Zhang Jing is the biggest supporter of his superiority, the greater Zhang Jing's power, the greater the chance that he can be superior.
Of course, Li Ye is still the one to make the final conclusion about the final situation.
Zhang Jing waved his hand modestly and said:
"It's only temporary, His Highness congratulated you too early."
"Hehe. Everyone knows that Captain Xiao attaches great importance to Brother Zhang. I'm afraid this will disappear soon," Li Xian chuckled.
"It's a pity Mr. Zhao," Zhang Jing shook his head.
"Don't mention these happy things, Brother Zhang, try these two dishes," Li Xian changed the subject.
"Oh, what's wrong with these two dishes?"
"Brother Zhang must have heard of the Eighth God of Cookery, right?"
Zhang Jingxin said of course I know, because I am this old man.
"Well, I've heard of some."
"These dishes were created by the God of Cookery, and the chef who made this dish was bought by me at a high price, just to invite Brother Zhang to taste it."
Zhang Jing looked at the dishes on the plate and thought:
"I haven't created such a dish by myself. It is estimated that the chef created it himself, and then named it after him."
"Your Highness has a heart."
"Brother Zhang is satisfied, as long as he is satisfied," Li Xian went to Zhang's mansion as a guest, and naturally he also ate Zhang's food.
He observed and found that the chef in Zhang's mansion made this kind of dishes, so he thought that Zhang Jing should also like this taste.
The wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors.
The two put down their chopsticks, and Li Xian began to tell Zhang Jing what to do next.
Zhang Jing kept nodding while listening, Li Xian still had some talent.
Otherwise, it would not be able to pull up some forces under the strong pressure of the prince and others.
It's just that the smarter Li Xian is, the harder it is for Zhang Jing to control him in the future.
However, as princes, influenced by the royal family since childhood, these princes rarely appear fatuous fools.
At least it is also a man's capital.
Afterwards, the two exchanged some opinions.
In Zhang Jing's view, it is still necessary to temporarily dormant now, so don't confront the third prince hastily, and temporarily win over some courtiers and some dignitaries who can speak to the court.
When necessary, you can sacrifice your appearance and marry a wife.
It is not a wise choice to confront now. First of all, the first problem is that the current situation in the court is turbulent, and a commander has just died. If the confrontation continues, His Majesty may be dissatisfied.
I think it may be that he is looking forward to his early death.
In addition, if the oppression is severe, there is no guarantee that the fourth prince and the third prince will not join forces to deal with him.
Zhang Jing thinks this is very likely to happen, because it is impossible for Wei Li to reconcile with Han Qianshu, unless one person voluntarily gives up the opportunity to compete for those top resources.
"Squeak."
Zhang Jing pushed open the door and walked in.
After staying with the second prince for two hours, Zhang Jing left, although his relationship with the second prince was basically known to everyone.
But at this juncture, it is better to have less contact or less contact.
His task now is to try his best to track down the traces of the Demon Palace.
All of the Tian Xun Division and some of the Zhenwu Division's staff have been scattered by him to the capital to search for them.
Even though, he knew in his heart that this kind of search and arrest was actually useless, it was just for people to see.
"Palace Master," Li Qingtong stood up and saluted.
"Sit," Zhang Jing stepped forward and sat opposite Li Qingtong.
Before he opened the door of the room, he had already found someone inside, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Come so late, what's the hurry?" Zhang Jing asked.
It's getting late now, and Li Qingtong usually wouldn't come over.
And once it comes over, it proves that something urgent happened.
"A letter for help from the madman Chu Daxia came from Xichu."
She has been with Zhang Jing for a while. Although she dare not say how many secrets she knows, she still knows some of the friendship between Madman Chu and her palace lord.
So, I still took some risks and came to Beijing to report.
"What happened to Brother Chu?" Zhang Jing frowned slightly.
Speaking of which, Zhang Jing hasn’t heard from Madman Chu since he went back last time.
The schedule of adding Zhang Jing has been relatively rushed, and I don't have time to pay attention to this aspect.
"Look, my lord," Li Qingtong took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing took it and spread out the letter.
The more he looked, the more Zhang Jing frowned, and an involuntary murderous aura permeated himself.
Li Qingtong, who was very close, was immediately shocked, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Li Qingtong was involuntarily startled.
"Miao Family in Southern Xinjiang," Zhang Jing murmured, and the letter in her hand instantly turned into fly ash.
This letter was written by Madman Chu himself, and it records some of the difficulties he is currently encountering.
It turned out that after returning from Dongqi, Chu Kuangren began to find his friends and told them that the world was about to be chaotic, and told them not to get involved in it.
For Chu Kuangren's words, his friends were very convinced, and they all decided to follow him to do something.
But later, when Madman Chu went to southern Xinjiang to find his old friend of his master, an accident happened.
At the beginning, Zhang Jing wanted to find a formation master to step up their communication methods, and he always kept this in mind.
It happened that this time when I returned to Xichu, I found out from a friend that the senior was in southern Xinjiang at the moment, so he went directly with some people.
But by coincidence, after he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he used tiger blood in a practice at the inn.
Although it has been well protected, the unique attraction of tiger blood still attracted strong reactions from some Gu insects.
The owner of the Gu worm is a direct descendant of the Miao family.
On the surface, the boy quietly befriended Madman Chu, but secretly he went home to shake him.
At first, Kuangren Chu didn't think anything was wrong. When he knew that the person opposite was a direct descendant of the Miao family, he condescended to make friends with him.
But then Madman Chu noticed something was wrong, that guy even secretly planted Gu insects on him.
The Chu madman in the Jindan state can naturally feel it clearly.
Sensing the danger, Madman Chu directly exploded his strength and beat the guy to death.
Later, it was very simple. The Miao family sent out a strong man in a rage. Although Chu Kuangren broke out and escaped, his strength was still at the early stage of Jindan, so he suffered a lot of injuries.
Originally he wanted to leave Southern Border directly, but the Miao family manpower was deployed at every exit, and a large number of Gu insects were searched, making it difficult for him to fly out even from the sky.
Although he escaped from the previous fight, some of the blood was confiscated by the Miao family because of his injuries.
As long as it gets close, there will be Gu insects to warn.
As a result, he can only go deep into southern Xinjiang, and the people of the Miao family are still besieging him.
If it was just the Miao family, it would naturally be impossible to have such a strong strength, but the Miao family has been operating in southern Xinjiang for a long time and has many allies.
It wasn’t just the Miao family who chased him down.
So, Chu Kuangren, who sensed the danger, asked his friends to hide out and pass the news to Zhang Jing.
Those Gu worms drank the liquid medicine containing Madman Chu's blood, so they had no choice but to search for him.
The defense against his friends is not so strict, as long as he avoids detection, he can slowly leave the southern border.
Zhang Jing stood up immediately, looking at Li Qingtong who was sweating on his forehead, Zhang Jing withdrew his murderous aura.
"I'm going out for a while now, so don't stay in Shangjing for now."
"Yes, the subordinate understands."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jing summoned Zhang Ye directly, and asked him to quickly summon the staff of the Sky Survey Division, and then gave some orders.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Jing to take them there, but to find something for them to do, so as not to arouse suspicion after he disappears for no reason.
That night, Zhang Jing led the digital survey department of the Sky Survey Division to leave Shangjing on the grounds that they found some traces of the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Zhang Jing has already ordered Li Qingtong to leak some traces and lead those Sky Surveyors around when necessary.
And he rushed to Xichu at the fastest speed.
