Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 476: Marquis Qingyang, His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to preside over the trial for you
Outside the hall, Yu Kuizhen took a deep breath.

He didn't dare to listen or look anymore, and took a few steps back until he reached the jade steps.

"Little Li, go tell the three concubines that the Marquis of Qingyang is in a good mood with His Majesty."

The eunuch in front of the jade steps bowed hurriedly, then ran quickly towards the harem.

Yu Kuizhen reported the same thing to the three imperial concubines.

As for where the emperor will go, that is none of his business.

Looking towards the jade steps, Yu Kuizhen was a little dazed.

He was very smooth in his dealings and as someone who walked before the Emperor's Palace, he had never offended anyone.

But he knew that the emperor was not really satisfied with him.

In terms of combat capability, Yu Kuizhen is not considered an expert in the imperial city.

Linglan King Ying Chongxiao broke through to the third level in two years and has become a grandmaster.

There are both Dongxuan and Xiaoyao realms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In terms of means, Yu Kuizhen doesn't have many.

As for thoughts, what kind of thoughts could I have while walking in front of the palace?
The reason why Yu Kuizhen was able to retain his position walking in front of the palace was because of the message conveyed in the Spring Mountain Painting.

In other words, the most important reason came from Marquis Qingyang.

Thinking about what Zhang Yuan had just said, Yu Kuizhen finally realized the gap between herself and Zhang Yuan.

The knife in your majesty's hand.

If there is a war, they will be summoned back.

How could these words alone not be worthy of the emperor's trust?

As expected, Zhang Qingyang is no ordinary person, as he is famous throughout the world, can win the heart of a figure like Princess Yuruo, and can stir up the situation in Qingtianzhou!
In the hall, Emperor Yuankang stared at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan looked calm and stood with his body bowed.

It was not until a long time later that Emperor Yuankang spoke lightly.

"Is it possible to defend the Eastern Territory for three years?"

"Yes." Zhang Yuan responded loudly.

Emperor Yuankang opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Yuan, speechless for a moment.

诺？
You don't make any requests?
Shouldn't you show your understanding of the military and tell us how you defend the East?

When people met the Qin Emperor, they all wanted to say a few more words to leave a better impression on the emperor.

Is this all you say, "Promise"?
After a moment's silence, Emperor Yuankang waved his hand.

"Yuan Tong, take him to the Imperial Observatory."

As the emperor's voice fell, a figure appeared in the hall.

Yuan Tong is one of the four heads of the Shadow Department of the Zhentian Department and a close attendant of the emperor.

When Yuan Tong went to Bailu Mountain to deliver a message, he had a fight with Zhang Yuan.

In that battle, Yuan Tong was almost beaten to death by Zhang Yuan.

When he saw Zhang Yuan again, Yuan Tong had already become a master of the Free and Easy Realm.

From Longhu to Xiaoyao, in the past two years, Yuan Tong's cultivation has improved so fast that it is definitely something that only a genius can achieve.

"Marquis Qingyang, please."

Yuan Tong looked up at Zhang Yuan, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan clasped his fists towards Emperor Yuankang again, then took two steps back, turned around and followed Yuan Tong out of the hall.

In the hall, Emperor Yuankang only withdrew his gaze after Zhang Yuan left the hall.

"Wait until the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reports back the results of his trial, and then you can take a look at it and decide what to do."

"This kid is a bit rebellious, but he has his own methods. It would be a waste if the young man didn't use them."

Emperor Yuankang's voice echoed throughout the hall, but there was no response, as if he was talking to himself.

When he stood up and walked down the jade steps, Yu Kuizhen had already carefully walked in from outside the hall.

Emperor Yuankang walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, and Yu Kuizhen hurriedly followed him.

I think the three imperial concubines are ready to welcome the emperor and have prepared wine and food. As for where the emperor is going, that is not something Yu Kuizhen can control.

"Go to Xiyuan."

The emperor's voice rang out.

----------------

Imperial City Liquanfang.

Yulin Academy.

Qin Yuqing returned quickly with a basket of vegetables and a smile on her face.

"Master's wife." "Meet Master's wife."

"Master's wife, Junior Brother was crying just now, and the Headmaster took him to the backyard."

Some of the seventeen or eighteen boys and girls who were reading in the yard came forward and bowed, while others took the basket of vegetables from Qin Yuqing's hand.

Qin Yuqing nodded and went to the backyard, where she saw Master Tao teasing a babbling child with a rattle.

"Yulin, Marquis Qingyang has returned to the Imperial City."

Qin Yuqing walked forward and held the child in her arms. The child hugged her and called "Mother, Mother" in a childish voice, which made Qin Yuqing smile.

"It's time to come back." Master Tao placed the rattle on the table and reached out to pinch the child's cheek. "Li Yang, be good. Daddy's going to see your godfather and see what gift he brought you."

After Master Tao finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Yuqing hugged the child and looked at Master Tao's back with a complicated expression.

"Actually, it's pretty good for us to live like this for the rest of our lives..."

……

Outside the Imperial Observatory.

Jade-colored stone steps stretch up.

Yuan Tong, who was walking in front of Zhang Yuan, stopped and turned around.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan looked calm.

"I have entered the realm of freedom. If I draw my sword now, can you take a few of them?" Yuan Tong clenched his hands slightly and looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan paused and said calmly, "You will die."

The corners of Yuan Tong's eyes twitched and his arms stiffened slightly.

He turned his face away, continued walking forward, and lowered his voice: "Qianyuan Wuyusi has been without a master for a hundred years."

Qianyuan Wuyusi, the head of the Twelve Departments of Zhentiansi, has the strongest combat power.

Zhang Yuan did not answer, but strode forward and stepped onto the top of the stone steps.

Yuan Tong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Just when Zhang Yuan said "You will die", he really felt like he was suffocating.

He had never had this feeling when facing several Grand Masters of the Worship Hall.

"The world is undergoing a sudden change. The Heavenly Guardian is temporarily unable to adapt. The three Grand Masters are far from being able to suppress the Worship Hall and the Imperial Household Department. I hope you..."

Yuan Tong's voice was so soft that it seemed as if only he could hear it.

Zhang Yuan stepped onto the top of the stone steps, and several Taoists in moon-white robes were already waiting in front of him.

"Marquis Qingyang, His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to conduct the trial for you."

The one who stood first was the Taoist Yun Miao, the director of the Imperial Observatory.

Originally, the Supervisor of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory should have reached the level of Grand Master long ago. Unfortunately, when Xuyang City was undergoing a catastrophe, Emperor Yuankang led the golden dragon of Yongtian Continent into Qingtian Continent. In order to protect the Heavenly Dao of the Great Qin, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory suffered heavy losses, and Taoist Yunmiao was seriously injured, so he is still trapped in the Free and Easy Realm.

In that battle of destiny, not only the Imperial Observatory was damaged, but the Heavenly Guardian and the Black Armor in front of the palace were also fighting against the evil demons from outside the domain, and suffered heavy losses when suppressing the earth veins.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhentiansi was unable to adapt when the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was upgraded.

The masters of the Zhentian Division and the imperial guards in front of the palace had guarded the sky of the imperial city and prevented the evil spirits from invading even a little bit.

"Good work."

Zhang Yuan clasped his fists.

The eldest prince Ying Rong once mentioned what happened in the Imperial Observatory.

The Imperial Observatory is the place that controls the immortal ways of the Great Qin and protects the destiny of the Great Qin. Its inheritance is absolutely top-notch in the world.

The Supervisor and several Taoists led Zhang Yuan forward, introducing the palaces and artifacts they saw from time to time.

The Great Qin Imperial Astronomical Observatory is not only about the way of immortality, but also integrates magic, calculation, and the Book of Changes. It can be traced back to the ancient Qi-refining masters and Taoist sorcerers.

"Battle Marquis Trials are usually arranged by the military, and the Imperial Observatory has also taken on some tasks."

"Marquis Qingyang should know that there are five ranks of war marquis: Wu'an, Pojun, Zhenguo, Zhengtian, and Zhentian. My Imperial Astronomical Observatory arranges trials, and the lowest rank is Zhenguo."

When they arrived in front of the green jade formation, Taoist Yun Miao turned to look at Zhang Yuan with a smile on his face.

"Marquis Qingyang, after the formation is activated, there will be eighteen tasks. You can choose one and complete it."

"If it were an outsider, it would naturally be up to luck. As for you, Marquis Qingyang, I have already marked the twelve tasks. You can choose whatever you want."

Witnessing Zhang Yuan's extraordinary abilities in Qingtian Island, Taoist Yun Miao was naturally very polite to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan nodded and stepped into the formation.

"boom--"

Green cloud light instantly enveloped his body.
