After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 421: Discussion in the Marquis' Mansion! Frontier Officials!
Ever since his mother expressed to him the possibility of winning over Jiang Che, Ji Changsheng has been thinking about this matter for the past few days.

And thinking over and over again, no matter how you think about it, is necessary.

As long as he can win over Jiang Che, he will be able to gain tremendous benefits and be truly qualified to compete with his elder and second brothers if his backer, the God King, also supports him.

There's almost no suspense then.

Of course, the prerequisite is that his father does not suppress him.

Therefore, Ji Changsheng really wanted to meet with Jiang Che in person to discuss this matter, but judging from the situation, his mother would not give him this opportunity and would go herself.

Ji Changsheng was quite moved by this.

But he did not forget to remind his mother.

Jiang Che is a hot commodity. How can we win him over if we don't put pressure on him?

Xue Baiyi frowned:
"You work after your godmother?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Ji Changsheng smiled awkwardly.

Glancing at this disappointing son, Xue Baiyi said sternly:
"Don't worry about the rest. Mother has her own ways."

“good good”

Ji Changsheng nodded quickly.

Xue Bai'er sighed inwardly. It was all her fault that after she became the Queen, she thought the position of Crown Prince was secure, and she did not teach Ji Changsheng well compared to the other two princes.

Ji Changsheng was indeed a little bit inferior.

"Then when are you going to go, mother?"

"I'll go there soon."

Xue Bai'er is the queen, she would not come to the house late at night. Once discovered, it would be difficult to explain no matter what happened or not. But if she came to the house openly.

That would seem much more open.

But she was also a little hesitant.

Ji Changsheng asked her to press closer.

And His Majesty asked her to be more tolerant.

So should we be more strict or more tolerant?

With a feeling of trepidation and excitement, Xue Baiyi finally stepped into the gate of Guanjun Marquis' Mansion. This time, she was no longer dressed casually like last time.

Instead, it was performed in a very grand manner.

She was wearing a phoenix gown with a golden edging, and she walked with a calm demeanor, her skirt fluttering gently, the pearls and jade colliding, making a pleasant ding-dong sound. She wore a golden phoenix crown on her head, and her jewels and precious stones exuded a calm and elegant demeanor.

To describe it simply in a few words is graceful and dignified.

As for her appearance, there is no need to say much. Xue Bai'er's appearance is definitely the best, and she can be called a stunning beauty. With the bonus of her status as queen, she is the one that most appeals to Jiang Che's appearance.

Of course, before coming, Xue Bai'er would dress up and behave very dignifiedly, but when her eyes slightly raised, there was still a hint of prettiness that she herself was not aware of.

Just a smile can bring spring to the whole garden.

Xue Bai'er herself didn't know why she dressed so formally, but before coming here, she had this idea in mind, as if she wanted to make Jiang Che's eyes flash with surprise.

As it turned out, Queen Xue did it.

Jiang Che did feel a little surprised.

There was a light in her eyes, as if stars were twinkling, and her long eyebrows were like willows, giving her a unique charm. Her red lips and white teeth did not show at all that she was already a wife and a mother.

There is an intoxicating fragrance on her body.

Jiang Che was amazed and a little curious.

What happened to Queen Xue today?
Is it because he is forced into a corner?

It doesn't seem like it should be like that. Jiang Che beat Xue Bai'er so badly last time, and I thought Xue Bai'er would never be able to face him from then on. Why is she dressed so gorgeously?
It couldn't be that he whipped the wrong person, right?

Jiang Che had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he did not show any abnormality. Instead, he bowed very respectfully:
"Your humble servant Jiang Che greets Her Majesty the Queen."

No matter how he lashed out at the other party in private, Jiang Che could still keep his head clear when outsiders were present. At the moment, he was not qualified to be so arrogant.

"Be flat."

Queen Xue, who was of noble and graceful temperament, behaved calmly and with a dignified air. Her voice was neither fast nor slow, but it could inspire awe in people's ears.

"Thank you, Madam. Please."

After a show, Jiang Che invited Queen Xue to the main hall. During the meeting, he behaved very properly and did not dare to overstep the mark in the slightest. This undoubtedly relieved a lot of the depression in Xue Bai'er's heart.

Although she was whipped in private, Jiang Che still had to behave respectfully outside.

"You guys go down first. I have important matters to discuss with Marquis Guanjun." After sitting in the main seat, Xue Bai'er waved her hand, signaling the palace maids around her to leave.

"Can they be trusted?"

Jiang Che suddenly asked.

"These are all people I brought from the Xue family. They won't leak any secrets."

"Oh"

The voice was prolonged a little, Jiang Che sat down slowly with an indifferent expression, and glanced at Xue Bai'er:

"What are you still standing there for? Come here!"

Since there were no outsiders present, Jiang Che naturally didn't need to worry about anything.

After his previous insolence, it was impossible for him to return to his previous state.

Xue Bai'er pursed her lips, her heart tightening, but she did not dare to resist Jiang Che's intention. She pinched a corner of her skirt very obediently and walked slowly to Jiang Che's side.

No longer as noble as before.

Jiang Che was not polite and pulled the Queen into his arms.

"Where's the stuff?"

"here."

Xue Bai'er lowered her head, took out the Heavenly Demon Jade Emperor Lotus and handed it to Jiang Che.

After examining it for a moment, Jiang Che took it and secretly put it into the space of the Heavenly Monument. After confirming that it was correct, he was completely relieved. So far, he only lacked two kinds of sacrifices.

The trip to Beijing was a complete success!
Lifting Xue Bai'er's beautiful face, Jiang Che grinned:
"I didn't expect that you would come here in person this time."

"Since I have promised you, I will not break my promise." Xue Bai'er regained some composure and looked directly at Jiang Che with her beautiful eyes.

"Very good, it seems you are not as stupid as I thought. Tell me, what do you want?"

When Xue Bai'er showed up in person, Jiang Che knew what was going on after a little thought.

Either he was desperate or he needed help from him.

Or maybe both.

"I hope you can support Sheng'er in his fight for the throne. If he comes to the throne, you will get greater convenience in the future," Xue Bai'er said in a deep voice.

"Given our relationship, it's okay for me to help him, but if I help him openly, what price are you prepared to pay, Your Majesty? Let me make it clear first, Jiang's price is very high."

"what do you want?"

Xue Bai'er continued to answer.

"It's not about what I want, but what you can give me? I can help him, but your Majesty, you will have to help me more in the future." Jiang Che said with a smile.

"Isn't that enough now?"

In fact, at the beginning, Xue Bai'er also wanted to refuse first, and then commit herself if she couldn't refuse, so that she could at least save some face. But who would have thought that Jiang Che would go straight to the point.

And she didn't know why, but when she smelled the scent on Jiang Che's body, she seemed to give up some of her bottom line for a moment.

"Now? What do you mean, Madam?" "You have the leverage over me, and I have no choice but to listen to you. Now I am yours. If you help Sheng'er, you are helping yourself."

Xue Bai'er took a deep breath and began to prepare to persuade Jiang Che.

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and thought about Xue Bai'er's words.

Supporting Ji Changsheng was indeed quite helpful to him.

only.
It's just very useless.

The reason is simple. Jiang Che is growing too fast. Ji Changsheng won't be able to help him in the future. As long as he becomes a Martial Saint, even if Ji Changsheng becomes the emperor, he will have to rely on him.

However, being able to take root in the capital city with the help of the power of Ji Changsheng and his mother is indeed a good idea, not to mention, there is the Xue family behind Xue Bai'er.

"Well, if that's the case, why would it be difficult for me to support him in his bid for the throne?"

Jiang Che made his promise.

"Thanks."

Xue Bai'er was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jiang Che to agree so quickly, so she quickly thanked him.

"You don't need to thank me. Your Majesty will find a way to thank me."

Jiang Che had an amused look on his face.

Xue Bai'er remained silent, but silence was the best answer.

Jiang Che made a move with one hand, and a red whip fell into his hand:
"My lady, do you like it?"

Jiang Che felt that the reason why Xue Bai'er changed so quickly, in addition to his conversion to Taoism, might have other reasons. For example, the queen, who was high and mighty, might like being whipped.

Xue Baiyi looked at the whip with some fear, and then said after a long silence:

"Then be gentle."

"Of course!"

Jiang Che curled the corner of his mouth.

"Don't take off this phoenix robe. I like it very much."

After a while, after Jiang Che and Xue Bai'er had a friendly exchange, the temperature around them rose a little, so Xue Bai'er thought about taking off a few clothes to avoid inconvenience.

Xue Bai'er was stunned for a moment, but then did not refuse.

Because before coming, she had already made many plans, otherwise, she would not have gone to so much trouble to wear gold and jade and dress so grandly.

Isn’t it just to give Jiang Che a better experience?

At this moment, her house was already leaking water and she really couldn't wait any longer.

in the future.

Queen Xue practiced hard, sweat appeared on her forehead and she was panting. Although she knew that practice was difficult, she had little experience, so it was indeed difficult to practice.

"No, it's no use. My cultivation is not good enough. I'll cultivate another day." Queen Xue begged for mercy, hoping that Jiang Che would let her go. If she continued to cultivate, her old nest would be ruined.

Jiang Che hugged the sweaty Queen Xue and whispered in her ear:
"My lady, the road ahead is difficult, but isn't there a way back?"

"I would like to take a shortcut. Is that okay, Your Majesty?"

"No, absolutely not!"

In the imperial garden, Princess Wenhao of Emperor Yuankang had a gloomy face.

Sitting opposite him was none other than the Mountain God King Ji Chengdao.

"Why not?"

Compared to the gloomy Ji Wenhao, the God of Backers Ji Chengdao was much calmer. Even when he was rejected, his expression did not change much.

"Jiang Che is so young, how can he take on such an important task?"

Originally, Ji Wenhao was very happy that Ji Chengdao took the initiative to come to the palace to see him, thinking that this royal uncle finally took his identity as the emperor into consideration, but they only talked for a few words.

Ji Chengdao then revealed his true intentions, hoping to have Jiang Che serve as the Southern Divine Envoy of the Black Ya and the Governor of Yuezhou.

This is absolutely unacceptable, it touches his bottom line.

Jiang Che is too young. He is the youngest among the third-rank officials. Yet he is still not satisfied and actually dreams of becoming a provincial governor.

And it was proposed by Ji Chengdao.

After Jiang Che was promoted, should he thank him as the emperor, or thank Ji Chengdao as the prince?
Is there still any sense of hierarchy?

What's more, the position of Yuezhou governor is so important, and the Antarctic Divine Envoy is a position of real power. The combination of the two can definitely be called a frontier official. How can Jiang Che take on the responsibility?

"A man of great ambition is not one of age. There are countless people in the court who are older than Jiang Che, but how many of them can achieve what Jiang Che has achieved?" Ji Chengdao asked in return.

"What about his achievements? Jiang Che has no merits or achievements, so how can he convince the people? I rewarded him for the previous battle at Yanglongtan." If it were anyone else, Emperor Yuankang would definitely ignore it.

But if it was Ji Chengdao, he would have to convince the other party even if he resisted.

He couldn't defeat Ji Chengdao by using imperial power.

Hearing this, Ji Chengdao smiled and took out a photo stone from his sleeve and placed it in front of Emperor Yuan Kang.

"what is this?"

Ji Wenhao frowned.

"Your Majesty will know it at a glance."

Ji Chengdao did not explain, but gestured with his hand.

The emperor frowned and transferred a trace of magic power as instructed. In an instant, the shadow stone glowed and an image appeared in the void.

Looking at the things on the image, Emperor Yuan Kang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Ji Chengdao with an expression of disbelief and a serious expression:
"Could this be Nangong Ji from the Qingtian Sect?"

"Your Majesty is right. This person is Nangong Ji, the Sky Eagle Dharma King of the Qingtian Sect."

"Did he die at the hands of Jiang Che?" Ji Wenhao asked uncertainly with a look of shock in his eyes.

"Yes, this is exactly what Jiang Che did."

"How did he do that?"

As an emperor, Ji Wenhao naturally had a deep understanding of the Qingtian Sect. To be frank, he knew the strength of the four Dharma Kings of the Qingtian Sect.

Generally speaking, the four Dharma Kings are much stronger than the several divine messengers of Hei Ya, and can be regarded as top masters.

And what about Jiang Che?

He is just a young man who has just entered the realm of divine appearance.

The gap in strength between the two is huge.

“The ambush and killing of Nangong Ji was indeed not Jiang Che’s work alone. He had the assistance of others. However, these cannot ignore Jiang Che’s achievements. Moreover, I also have some understanding of Jiang Che’s strength.

Now he is comparable to a Venerable."

"Is the Imperial Uncle deceiving me?"

Ji Wenhao was a little bit unconvinced.

"These things cannot be cheated. The reason why I recommended Jiang Che to the position is because he has the qualifications and ability. Recently, Li Chengguo has become more and more unruly.

It is not enough to control the military and political affairs, they have already begun to extend their influence to the prefecture of Yuezhou. There is also the shadow of the Qingtian Sect behind them. If they are not restricted, they will become a major concern for the court in the future.

Your Majesty, please make a decision soon."

"Why does the emperor's uncle think that Jiang Che can deal with Li Chengguo?" Ji Wenhao asked again.

"It's very simple. Jiang Che is not only a warrior. He also has the full support of the Beiling Qi family. In addition to the Lingjian Mountain and other forces, Jiang Che's foundation in the south is not weaker than Li Chengguo's."
