Shenxiao Chongling Temple.
Zhou Jing was drinking tea, chatting casually with Qin Song who came to visit, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
"The real person is here, and it is very quiet and quiet. It is really a good place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation."
Qin Song blew the tea foam and chatted with a smile.
"If Qin Xiang is interested, he will come more in the future."
Zhou Jing responded casually.
He doesn't have a deep friendship with Qin Song, but today Qin Song came to visit him politely, with many compliments in his words, intending to draw closer.
Since returning to Beijing to face the saint, he has won a lot of awards, both real and imaginary, and a new name has been added to his head, and the emperor has changed his name to give him a name.
The most important thing is that he has the qualification to go to court every day, while Ning Zhongjun loses this privilege.
The large and small officials in the court are all quick-witted and well-informed people, and they naturally understand the meaning of this change.
At the same time, the skills that Master Yufeng showed this time were as if heaven and man descended from the earth, and all the ministers were in awe.
Moreover, with Chen Feng threatened, the real person will probably become an indispensable and important worship of the court in the future, and the elites in Beijing dare not treat him as an ordinary Taoist who is favored.
As a result, the officials who came to visit and complimented him in an endless stream, knowing that Yufeng Zhenren had made a contribution this time and won the emperor's favor, and the future was boundless.
The threshold of the Taoist temple was about to be breached, but Zhou Jing did not use the momentum of meritorious service to expand his contacts everywhere. Instead, he thanked the vast majority of people for visiting on the grounds of healing, and only occasionally saw some important officials in the court.

Qin Song was one of them... Although he was the right minister, he couldn't sit still, so Baba came to make a good relationship.
For the rest of the time, Zhou Jing stayed in the Taoist temple behind closed doors, practising techniques, training his disciples, and pretending not to take credit and be proud of himself.
Now that he is a man of influence in Beijing, everyone is watching his every move, and he has obtained further holy scrolls. It is too much to avoid the limelight.
Regarding the evidence of Yuding Sect's crime, Zhou Jing did not continue to intervene. After he finished his complaint to the emperor, and handed it over to the assassin to Dali Temple, he did not care about the matter.
After all, in the emperor's heart, the Jade Tripod Sect still has a position, and it is unlikely that he will be killed with a single stick, but in order to quell his dissatisfaction, he will probably let Ning Zhongjun and his party walk around and show an attitude.
While the two were chatting casually, a disciple knocked on the door and came in and spoke in Zhou Jing's ear.
Zhou Jing heard this, raised his brows, and suddenly smiled:
"Commander Lu ordered Dafuda, and Pindao was greatly relieved."
Immediately, he turned to look at Qin Song and said:
"Lu Longchuan was defeated and returned to Beijing. He didn't want to come to me directly. I remember that he was recruited by the court with the help of Qin Xiang. Since they are all acquaintances, why not invite him to come in and talk, what would Qin Xiang think?"
Qin Song's eyes narrowed, but he didn't show any expression. He smiled and said: "The guest is as the host."
Zhou Jing nodded and said to his disciples, "Go and ask Lu Commander to lead them in."
The disciples take orders.
After a while, Lu Longchuan and others, who were busy with dust, walked into the house.
When everyone saw the scene clearly, they were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Qin Song to be here too.
Sun Rong teased Lu Longchuan, and hurried forward to greet him:
"I have seen the real person, I have seen Qin Xiang."
The rest quickly followed suit.
Zhou Jing accepted it calmly, and then smiled:
"As soon as Huyang parted, Pindao thought that Commander Lu and Sun Junshi were all lost in the hands of the thieves. Now it seems that the Jiren have their own good looks."
Hearing this, Lu Longchuan's face darkened.
Sun Rong hurriedly took over the conversation, showing a look of shame:
"Hoojiao Zhenren and Qin Xiang know that after the defeat that day, we fled with the defeated soldiers, but were captured by the thieves, and almost died in Huangquan. It's just that the bandit leader Chen Fengnian once owed my eldest brother a favor, They let us go down the mountain and said they would only spare this time, but the thieves took many brothers as hostages, and we had no choice but to go back to Beijing to report on our duties.”
He didn't hide the fact that he was caught and let go by Chen Feng, although this matter would become a stain, but he couldn't hide it.
In the future, if the old brothers who took refuge in Chen Feng and the court are right on the battlefield, they will be implicated instead. Therefore, even if this embarrassing encounter will be criticized, it must be divided in advance.
- Of course, considering such a long-term consideration, the premise is that the return to Beijing can save his life, otherwise it will be useless.
"So that's it... Sigh, it's not easy for you to escape with Chen Feng's hands."
Zhou Jing's face showed seven points of sympathy, three points of regret, and his acting skills were natural, as if he had no responsibility for this matter.
Qin Song blew the tea foam and seemed to say casually: "You waited for a big defeat and returned to the capital. Why didn't you go to the Privy Council to report your duties, but you came here?"
Hearing this, Sun Rong was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out from his back.
Their original backer was Qin Song, and they came here for the purpose of clinging to Master Yufeng, and they were suspected of changing the court. This was not a glorious thing.
Of course, he had to avoid the original owner to do this, but he didn't know Qin Song was here before, and his heart was half cold.
Zhou Jing opened his mouth at the right time and said with a smile, "Hehe, it must be Commander Lu who misses my comrade. Come and talk to me first and tell them the good news that they are still alive."
"It makes sense."
Qin Song nodded with a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.
He put down the tea bowl, got up slowly, and said to Zhou Jing:
"The old man still has official business at hand, and I will visit the real person next time."
"Qin Xiang walk slowly."
Zhou Jing also gave face, got up to say goodbye, and Sun Rong and his party hurried to accompany him.
After sending Qin Song away, Zhou Jing and the group returned to the house.
Without the outsiders, he directly opened the skylight to speak brightly, restrained his smile, and asked Dandan:
"Commander Lu, your army is defeated, this crime is inevitable, and you will be held accountable by the Holy Master. If you are not strict in governing the army, your soldiers will be bribed by others, and the poor will not be poisoned, this battle may not be invincible... After you return to Beijing, you don't go to debrief, but you come to me, but you want to ask the poor?"
Sun Rong hurriedly took Lu Longchuan to give a big gift, his tone was excited and earnest, and he could no longer worry about Qin Song's thoughts, saying:
"I don't dare to hide from the real person. Right now, only the real person can save our lives, and I hope that the real person will save our lives for the sake of our friendship."
They didn't go to the debriefing at the first time. Naturally, it was for the sake of secretly taking the opportunity to cross the Privy Council in the face of Master Yufeng, and go directly to the sanctuary. Only by persuading the emperor can they get a light sentence.
Otherwise, they will just go about their business, and because they are recruited, most of them will be directly controlled, there is no room for operation, and they will end up dead and dead. Therefore, after returning to Beijing, they will not care about other things and take risks directly to find a real person.
Zhou Jing frowned, and said deliberately, "Pin Dao is only a junior supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, and is not qualified to intervene in military and political affairs. How can I save you?"
"The real person has the ability to reach the sky, the status is detached, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. We cannot escape the responsibility of defeat in this battle. We do not dare to bother the real person too much. Wait for a few good words..."
Sun Rong bowed again and again, begging on his face.
Zhou Jing didn't change his face, and said slowly: "Commander Lu, military division Sun, although we have the same robes, but Pindao is not a member of the army, I have done my best in this battle, it is not my responsibility to lose the army, but you When the army has nowhere to go, why should the poor road excuse you?"
Sun Rong gritted his teeth and knelt down to express his position.
"As long as the real person saves our lives, we are willing to join the real person's door. No matter what the real person tells us, we will never refuse!"
Lu Longchuan was confused and knelt down together, and the others hurriedly followed suit.
They can even kneel on the emperor's knees, and now kneeling down to an expert who can save their lives, and who is capable of reaching the sky, naturally has no hesitation and grudges.
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he deliberately pondered for a while before slowly saying:
"Since you are so sincere, that's all, the poor Daoist will do you a favor. It's just that the merits and demerits of you are still up to the sage to decide. If the sage wants to sentence you to death, the poor Dao can't help you."
"Thank you for your life-saving grace!"
Sun Rong and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed their heads in salute.
Although the fate is still in the hands of the emperor, at least there is a turning point now.
Zhou Jing looked at the group of people who gave a big gift, his eyes were subtle.
Unexpectedly, these guys finally defected to "self".
Seeing how grateful they were, the seal thief's father was still in the dark.
Accepting these people is of no use for a while, but Zhou Jing is not sure if it will be useful in the future.
…
Zhou Jing came forward to report that Lu Longchuan and his party were able to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit.
The emperor was furious and rebuked Lu Longchuan for his incompetence. Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to refute them.
Lu Longchuan threw the blame for the defeat on the inner ghost. Among them, Xiang Tianjie was the most resentful. He said that this person secretly cooperated with the enemy and divided the internal forces.
There were already signs of inner ghost activity in this battle. Now that Lu Longchuan has thrown all the blame on Xiang Tianjie, no one will doubt it is someone else.
Because of Zhou Jing's good words, the emperor finally decided to keep Lu Longchuan and his entourage to pay tribute to their crimes.
Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, and the relegation is certain, and the repressive envoys and jidu envoys promised in the past when recruiting security, let alone even think about it.
Lu Longchuan and others did not dare to ask for more, and they all thanked them.
Although they were fighting for the imperial court, as long as they could save their lives, they felt lucky, and they never dared to resent the imperial court for killing the donkey.
On the second day when he went to court, the emperor announced that Lu Longchuan and his party entered the hall, and after annoyed, announced the results of the disposal, and did not execute Lu Longchuan and his party.
Civil and military officials are well-informed, and they all know that Lu Longchuan went to Master Yufeng yesterday, and he knew in his heart that it was Master Yufeng who exerted his strength in it, so that Lu Longchuan and his party were punished lightly.
The ministers could not help but once again elevate the status of Real Master Yufeng in the emperor's mind, and became more and more in awe of Real Master Yufeng beside him.
Today, the Jade Tripod Sect is clearly losing ground, and this Master Yufeng, as a peer, will surely be able to rise further.
Qin Song did not interfere with it. Although this group of people took the initiative to change the court, he was very dissatisfied, but he did not want to have a rift with the real Yufeng, so he just sat and watched.
Anyway, for him, Lu Longchuan has lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, has no use value, and has become a useless abandoned child... If he can use the waste, let them use them as a medium to deepen his friendship with the real Yufeng, that is not bad. of.
In the following days, Zhou Jing did not care about the changes in the court.
The problem of Yuding Sect is still fermenting naturally, and he has not yet shuttled to Chen Feng, until the time of demolition, but Lu Longchuan and his party saved their lives, and there are many follow-up personnel to report on this battle, so he is not needed for the time being. doing what.
The imperial court was not idle, and was mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to formally send troops to conquer Huyang Chen Feng.
It's been a while.
On this day, Zhou Jing was testing his disciples' martial arts in the guan, when suddenly a clerk came hurriedly.
"There are three people outside, claiming to be Ma Zhen, Huang Ping, and Yu Wenyan, and want to ask to see Master."
Zhou Jing raised his brows.
These three people seem to be the military commanders appointed by the imperial court this time.
This time to come to me, most of them are like Lu Longchuan last time, come to ask for help from the mountains
"Let's see you then."
The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched, and he smiled inwardly.
The next injustice appeared.
