Shenxiao Chongling Ling Temple.

Zhou Jing was drinking tea and chatting casually with Qin Song who was visiting, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fast.

"This place of real people is quiet and quiet, and it is really a good place to cultivate one's own character."

Qin Song blew the tea foam and chatted with a smile.

"If Qin Xiang is interested, he will be the one who will come in the future."

Zhou Jing responded casually.

He and Qin Song didn't have a deep relationship, but today Qin Song came to visit him politely, and there were many compliments in his words, intending to bring the relationship closer.

Since returning to the capital to meet the saint, he has received a lot of rewards, including real and virtual, and a new gift has appeared on his head. The emperor has different ways to name him.

The most important thing is that he has the qualification to attend court every day, while Ning Zhongjun lost this privilege.

All officials in the court were quick-minded and well-informed, so they naturally knew the meaning of this change.

At the same time, the skills shown by Yufeng Zhenren this time are like heaven and man descending to earth, and all the ministers are in awe.

Moreover, with Chen Feng threatening, the real person will most likely become an indispensable and important consecration of the court in the future. The powerful and powerful people in the capital dare not regard him as an ordinary Taoist who is favored.

As a result, there were endless officials who came to visit and curry favor with each other. He knew that Yufeng Zhenren made a contribution this time and was favored by the emperor, and his future would be bright.

The threshold of the Taoist temple was almost broken, but Zhou Jing did not use the momentum of making meritorious service to expand his connections everywhere. Instead, he refused to visit most people on the grounds of recuperation and only occasionally met some important officials in the court.

Qin Song is one of them... Although he is the right prime minister, he can't sit still, so Baba comes to make a good relationship.

During the rest of the time, Zhou Jing stayed in the Taoist temple and kept his door closed, practicing magic and training his disciples, and acting like he was arrogant and arrogant without taking credit for his favor.

Now I am a prominent figure in the capital, and I have people watching every move, and I have further gained holy favors. Too much is not enough, so it is better to avoid the limelight.

Zhou Jing did not continue to intervene in the evidence of the Yu Ding Sect. After asking the emperor for complaints and handing over the assassin to Dali Temple, he did not care about the matter anymore.

After all, in the emperor's heart, the Jade Ding Sect still has a status, and it is unlikely to kill it with one blow. However, in order to calm down his dissatisfaction, Ning Zhongjun and his group would probably not be able to take it and show their attitude.

Just as the two were chatting casually, a disciple knocked in the door and spoke in Zhou Jing's ear.

When Zhou Jing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed:

"General Lu ordered great blessings and great relief, and I am very pleased."

Then, he turned to look at Qin Song and said:

"Lu Longchuan returned to Beijing because he was defeated and did not expect to come to me directly. I remember that he was invited by the court by the help of Qin Xiang. Since he was all acquaintances, why should he invite him in and talk? What did Qin Xiang want to do?"

Qin Song narrowed his eyes, showed no expression, and smiled and said, "The guest will follow the host."

Zhou Jing nodded and said to his disciples: "Go and invite Commander Lu and others in."

The disciples take the order.

After a while, Lu Longchuan and others, who were in turmoil, walked into the room.

Everyone saw the scene clearly and was stunned. Unexpectedly, Qin Song was also here.

Sun Rong pulled Lu Longchuan and quickly stepped forward to greet him:

"I have met the real person and the prime minister of Qin."

The rest hurriedly followed suit.

Zhou Jing accepted it calmly and then smiled:

"After leaving Huyang, I thought that Commander Lu and Military Advisor Sun had fallen into the hands of the thieves. Now it seems that the auspicious people have their own appearance."

Upon hearing this, Lu Longchuan's face turned dark.

Sun Rong hurriedly took over the conversation and showed a look of ashamed:

"I'm good at teaching the real person, Qin Xiang knew that after the defeat that day, we fled with the defeated soldiers, but were still captured by the thieves, and almost died. However, the bandit leader Chen Fengnian had owed my elder brother a favor in the past and let us go down the mountain, saying that we would only spare this time, but the thief detained many brothers as hostages. We had no choice but to go back to Beijing to report our duties first."

He did not conceal the situation of being arrested and released by Chen Feng. Although this matter would become a stain, it could not be concealed.

In the future, those old brothers who defected to Chen Feng would be in conflict with the court on the battlefield, which would implicate them. Therefore, even if this embarrassing encounter would be criticized, it would have to be divided in advance.

——Of course, considering this long-term, the premise is that you can save your life this time when you return to Beijing, otherwise it will be useless.

"So that's it...ah, it's not easy for you to escape from Chen Feng's hands."

Zhou Jing's face showed seven points of sympathy and three points of regret, and his acting skills were natural, as if this matter was as if he had no responsibility at all.

Qin Song blew the tea foam and said casually: "You are defeated and returned to the capital. Why don't you go to the Privy Council to report your duties, but you are here?"

When Sun Rong heard this, he was so scared that he sweated coldly on his back.

Their original backer was Qin Song. This trip was to cling to the real person Yufeng. It was suspected of changing the family. This was not a glorious thing.

Of course, he had to avoid the original owner to do this, but he didn't know that Qin Song was here before, and he felt a little cold.

Zhou Jing spoke at the right time and said with a smile: "Haha, I guess Commander Lu is concerned about my comrade. Come and talk to me first and tell them the good news that they are still alive."

"It's reasonable."

Qin Song nodded, smiled on his face, but no one knew what he thought.

He put down the tea bowl, stood up slowly, and said to Zhou Jing:

"I still have official duties, so I will visit the real person next time."

"Qin Xiang walked slowly."

Zhou Jing also gave face and stood up to see him off. Sun Rong and his group hurriedly accompanied him.

After seeing Qin Song off, Zhou Jing and the group returned to the house.

Without outsiders, he opened the skylight and said loudly, curled his smile and asked lightly:

"Master Lu, if you are defeated in command of the army, you will be held accountable by the emperor. If you have not been strict in your army and your soldiers are bribed, I will not be poisoned. This battle may not be impossible... After you return to Beijing, you will not report your duties, but come to me, but have you asked me for it?"

Sun Rong quickly pulled Lu Longchuan to give a big gift, his tone was excited and earnest, and he didn't care about Qin Song's thoughts anymore, and said:

"I dare not hide it from the real person. Now only the real person can save our lives. I hope the real person will save our lives in view of the friendship between us and other comrades."

They did not report their duties as soon as possible, so they naturally wanted to secretly go and use the face of Yufeng Zhenren to cross the Privy Council and directly meet the saint. Only by persuading the emperor could they be relieved.

Otherwise, they will be directly in business, and as they are recruited, they will be directly controlled, and have no room for operation, and will die in the end. Therefore, they will not care about anything else after returning to Beijing and take the risk to find the real person.

Zhou Jing frowned and said deliberately: "I am just a few Sitian Supervisors, and I am not qualified to interfere in major military and political affairs. How can I save you?"

"The real person has a great ability and a transcendent status. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty. We cannot escape the responsibility of defeat in this battle. We dare not bother too many real persons. We only want to have a glimmer of life. We want to meet the emperor in person to explain this war merits and demerits. We also ask the real person to say a few good words to us..."

Sun Rong bowed repeatedly, begging with his face.

Zhou Jing remained calm and said slowly: "Commander Lu, Military Advisor Sun, although we are a comrade, I am not a member of the army. I have done my best in this battle. The defeat is not my responsibility, but because you are incompetent in command. Why should I excuse you?"

Sun Rong gritted his teeth and knelt down and expressed his opinion.

"As long as the real person saves our lives, we are willing to join the real person's disciples. No matter what the real person's instructions are, we will never refuse!"

Lu Longchuan was confused and knelt down together, and the others hurriedly followed suit.

They could even kneel down, and now a paradise who can save their lives and has great abilities naturally has no hesitation or grudges.

Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, he deliberately pondered for a while, and then he slowly said:

"Since you are so sincere, I will do you a favor. But your merits and demerits will still be determined by the Lord. If the Lord wants to convict you of death, I will not be able to help you."

"Thank you for helping me!"

Sun Rong and others were overjoyed and kowtowed and bowed.

Although fate is still in the hands of the emperor, there is at least a turning point now.

Zhou Jing looked at the group of people who were performing the great gifts with subtle eyes.

Unexpectedly, these guys ended up joining themselves.

Seeing them crying for gratitude, the thief was still kept in the dark as a father.

It would be useless to accept these people for a while, but Zhou Jing was not sure whether it would be useful in the future. Anyway, it was just a small task, so he would make the next move.

...

Zhou Jing came forward to report that Lu Longchuan and his group were able to enter the palace to meet the saint.

The emperor was furious and angrily accused Lu Longchuan of incompetence in person. Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to refute, and repeatedly accused him of crimes, made a deep review, and told the truth about the cause and consequences of the war.

Lu Longchuan threw the blame for the defeat on the inner demon. Among them, the one he hated the most was Xiang Tianjie, saying that this person secretly colluded with the enemy and became interfered with the inside, and they could not turn the tide, which led to a big loss.

There are signs of insider activities in this battle. Now Lu Longchuan has thrown all the blame on Xiang Tianjie, and no one will suspect that it is someone else.

Because Zhou Jing was talking to each other, the emperor finally decided to keep Lu Longchuan and his group guilty and make meritorious service.

Of course, the crime of death can be avoided from being alive, and it is certain that the demotion of the official is deemed. The sanctions and military governors promised to be even more thoughtful of.

Lu Longchuan and others dared not ask for more, and they all thanked each other.

Although it was for the court to make a living, they felt lucky as long as they could save their lives. They would never dare to be angry with the court for killing donkeys.

When he went to court the next day, the emperor Xuan Lu Longchuan and his group entered the hall. After anger, he announced the disposal results and did not execute Lu Longchuan and his group.

All civil and military officials were well-informed and knew that Lu Longchuan went to find Yufeng Zhenren yesterday, and knew in his heart that it must be Yufeng Zhenren who was exerting his efforts, which made Lu Longchuan and his group punish him with high and light punishment.
To be continued...
