After coming out of the imperial study, Xuan Jing still felt a little numb.

He did think that his father might use him and that he might become the crown prince.

But he really didn't expect that the first thing his father asked him to do was to deal with Jun Lintian.

Isn't this a joke?
What qualifications does he have to deal with Jun Lintian?
You know, Jun Lintian is a man with a mind even more gloomy than him.

Xuan Jing thought that he was quite cunning, but when compared with Jun Lintian, he realized what it meant to be a dwarf compared to a giant.

Even the eldest prince died at the hands of Jun Lintian.

If Jun Lintian wants to deal with me, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?
At this moment, he recalled the time when he chatted with Jun Lintian before. Jun Lintian once said that he was looking forward to the day when he would be reused by the Martial Emperor...

Xuan Jing felt even more annoyed.

He had a vague feeling that Jun Lintian seemed to be waiting for him to gain a certain amount of power before starting to deal with him!
But to be honest, Xuan Jing was actually reluctant to give up the benefits he had just obtained. Emperor Wu had already given him five hundred personal guards.

Not only that, he also received many rewards.

This includes not only various cultivation resources, but also 500,000 spirit stones.

If this had happened in the past, Xuan Jing would never have dared to think about it.

Moreover, the benefits he has gained now are much richer than those obtained by Xuan Fei or even Xuan Feng.

For example, Xuan Fei had never used these 500 personal guards.

Xuan Jing knew clearly in his heart that his father had already made up his mind to train him.

Therefore, the task assigned to me by my father is most likely a test for me.

If he could deal with Jun Lintian, then his father would not hesitate to train him to be the crown prince.

in other words……

The opportunity he got was great, but the risk was also great.

If he can't deal with Jun Lintian, not only will Jun Lintian target him, but even his father may give up on him and find someone else to train him.

Thinking of this, Xuan Jing couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that even after all his calculations, he still failed to make the right move.

He thought that as long as he could hold on, he would definitely be able to outlast Xuan Fei and Xuan Feng.

Xuan Jing didn't realize that he would be left with a difficult problem.

How to deal with Jun Lintian?

He really couldn't think of a solution and couldn't find any help.

Apart from the five hundred personal guards, there was no one else around him who could be mobilized.

Xuan Jing is very different from Xuan Fei. He has earned a reputation as a sharp-tongued person in Xuanwu City, which means he has offended almost everyone in Xuanwu City.

Even though he is now highly valued by his father, many people still do not look favorably upon him.

It’s difficult.

Should I deal with Jun Lintian?
Xuan Jing thought to himself, he didn't know if Jun Lintian was on guard against him now. If Jun Lintian didn't take him seriously at all, then he could find a way to launch a sneak attack.

If it doesn't work...it might be a dead end.

In the end, Xuan Jing came up with a solution.

He decided to be a "No. 6" and not do anything himself, but just let the people around him do it.

Even if it costs money, as long as he can kill Jun Lintian, he will get many benefits.

As for who to look for?
Xuan Jing still needs to think about this carefully.

--------

Great Zhou Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

In the past two days, Emperor Zhou has been waiting for news from the border. He is afraid of missing the news every day, and he can't eat or sleep.

After all, he was planning to break off relations with the Jun family this time. Anyway, the Jun family had already obtained the three cities.

If the Jun family is unwilling to give these three cities to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then the Jun family will most likely move all their people to Wuyang City.

By that time, without the constraints of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jun family will soar to new heights.

Emperor Zhou was very worried about the arrival of this day.

He and the Jun family have had a long-standing grudge, so once the Jun family gains power, it will be a devastating blow to him.

Especially now that the Jun family has a genius young master, Jun Lintian.

Even though Emperor Zhou hated Jun Lintian to the core, he had to admit that Jun Lintian was indeed very smart.

If it weren't for Jun Lintian, who had already left the Great Zhou Dynasty and gone to the Xuanwu Empire, Emperor Zhou wouldn't even dare to bother taking back his power from the court.

There was no way, he was already deeply afraid of Jun Lintian.

Before this, Liu Jianan had shown him the list of rewards, and the things given were very valuable.

Although Emperor Zhou felt a little painful, when he thought that the Jun family might give him this face, he walked down the stairs. He couldn't help but feel that the gifts were worth it.

Emperor Zhou has no intention of dealing with the government affairs in the court now.

The pressure brought to him by those three cities was too great, especially Wuyang City, which was truly easy to defend but difficult to attack.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Jun family captured this city.

But if it were the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to capture it without at least 200,000 soldiers.

And if the soldiers defending the city were replaced by people from the Jun family, things would become even more difficult.

Emperor Zhou couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know when his hair started to grow white.

He is a master with the cultivation level of a quasi-emperor, but he still has such troubles.

Emperor Zhou laughed at himself, perhaps this was the dilemma that an emperor had to face.

Even if one has such a high level of cultivation, many times, problems cannot be solved just by having cultivation.

"I just don't know what this bastard Jun Lintian is planning to do in Xuanwu City..."

Emperor Zhou rubbed his brows.

He muttered to himself, "In such a short time, Jun Lintian has snatched three cities from the Xuanwu Empire. If he is allowed to stay any longer, I'm afraid even the throne of the Xuanwu Empire will change hands."

At this time, the eunuch outside the door came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Minister Liu is outside the gate asking for an audience. I heard there is news from the border."

Emperor Zhou's eyes lit up, "Please invite him in quickly."

He even couldn't help rubbing his hands to hide his nervousness.

The current attitude of the Jun family is very important to him. If he is not careful, the two sides may go to war.

It may even attract the Xuanwu Empire to join the war.

Not to mention that the Daqian Dynasty and the ancient Nanman Kingdom are eyeing them covetously...

"His Majesty."

Liu Jianan walked in from outside with a serious look on his face.

The expression on Emperor Zhou's face also froze: "What did the Jun family say?"

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to disappoint you!" Liu Jianan fell to his knees with a plop.

His lips trembled, and he said with a fearful voice: "I deserve to die."

"The Jun family refused to hand over the three cities and snatched the reward..."

"What?!" When Emperor Zhou heard this, his eyes rolled up and he almost fainted. (End of this chapter)
