Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

In the eyes of high-level cultivators, the current situation where the strong control all cultivation resources and formulate order and rules within their sphere of influence is simply the paradise and joy that high-level cultivators dream of.

This was also the reason why the short-sighted Lingxuzi dared to speak out during the previous peace talks, believing that Dao Song would definitely be defeated if a national war broke out.

In terms of the number and quality of high-level cultivators, Daosong does not have any advantage. If it were not for the Fortune Compass, the Daosong Dynasty, sandwiched between the Yaoqing, Wuming and Moyuan dynasties, would have been divided up long ago.

After a brief pause, Song Xuan said, "So, the imperial capital hasn't made a decision on my appointment yet, right?"

The Second Prince replied, "That's right. Regarding your appointment, not only does His Majesty need to issue an order, but it also needs to be approved by the Compass of Destiny. Even if the Crown Prince's followers deliberately want to suppress you, they won't be able to pass the Compass of Destiny.

The Fortune Compass has its own system for calculating merits. Senior, during your mission this time, you resolved the border dispute between the two countries, brought peace to our dynasty for a thousand years, and saved countless people from tragic deaths in wars. Your merits are so great that you are eligible for a promotion.

Even if His Majesty and the Prince's followers want to delay the matter, after a certain period of time, the Fortune Compass will automatically handle it and arrange a suitable position for you, Senior."

Song Xuan nodded slightly. "That is to say, my position will be promoted. As for what official position will be assigned to me, I just need to wait. Is that right?"

Chapter 752 New appointment, heading to the imperial capital!

The Imperial City Bureau is more like a terminal system set up by the Fortune Compass throughout the imperial territory than a secret agency used by the royal family to control the world.

In essence, the Imperial City Bureau is not loyal to the Dao Song royal family, but to the Compass of Destiny.

Even the emperor's appointment of officials to the Imperial City Administration must be reviewed by the Qiyun Compass before it can be approved.

If the merit points are not enough, even if the emperor wants to forcibly promote his trusted people in the Imperial City Bureau, he will not be able to do it.

Song Xuan waited for half a month.

Then, he finally received his appointment letter.

He was transferred to the imperial capital and served as the inspector of the Imperial City Headquarters.

The Imperial City Inspectorate is not a permanent institution. It is a special department that is set up when the merit points of senior officials of the Imperial City are sufficient but there are no suitable positions for them.

Theoretically speaking, the rank of Inspector is below that of Commander-in-Chief, and is at the same level as the Pacification Commissioner who controls a region, so he can be considered a high-ranking official with great power.

But in reality, the power of the inspector can be big or small. When it is big, he can inspect the whole world, similar to the role of an imperial envoy, holding the power of life and death. When necessary, he can even execute the pacification envoy first and report later.

In this situation, we need the full support and sufficient trust of the emperor and the commander of the Imperial City.

Otherwise, the position of Inspector General would not allow one to leave the imperial capital and would only be considered a retirement institution.

After receiving the appointment letter, the Tiannan Territory Pacification Envoy and a group of Inspectors came to congratulate Song Xuan, and Lord Song hosted a banquet to entertain everyone.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed one after another, except for the Inspector Mingyue, who hesitated and stayed outside the yard.

"Song Xuan!"

Mingyue frowned slightly and said seriously, "According to the information I received, there has been quite a stir in the court over your position.

I don't know why, but the prince's cronies are like mad dogs, fabricating all kinds of faults against you. Every position that could have held real power has been ruined by them."

Song Xuan thought to himself, "He's just like a mad dog. If anyone spent a lot of money on an assassination, but failed to kill the person and got the money back, they would probably be furious."

Seeing that Song Xuan remained silent and seemed unaware of the danger, Mingyue continued, "Finally, after consultation between His Majesty and the Commander, they had no choice but to reopen the position of Inspector General specifically for you.

This position is of high rank, but the power it carries is extremely uncertain.

In the imperial capital, you have no foundation and no real power. Given the current situation, the crown prince is deeply hostile to you. If you go to the imperial capital, you will be in great danger."

Song Xuan said, "They will assassinate me in the imperial capital?"

Mingyue hesitated for a moment, "It's not necessarily assassination, but that's the prince's territory. There are so many ways to make you uncomfortable, and there are so many ways to frame you. Don't say you don't understand!

If I were you, I would resign from my official position right now and return to the sect to practice in peace. Although the dynasty is prosperous, it involves the struggle for the throne. The water is too deep and you can drown yourself if you are not careful.

You have unlimited potential, there is no need to take this risk for the sake of the dynasty's fortune!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder, but I am a fan of being an official, and I have some special tricks for being an official.

Maybe after going to the imperial capital, I can actually do well!"

"I've said everything I need to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you!"

Seeing that Song Xuan refused to listen to advice, Mingyue's face turned cold. She turned around and walked out of the yard, just in time to meet Song Qian who was walking towards her.

Mingyue subconsciously looked at Song Qian, and Song Erni also looked at each other without hesitation. Then the two nodded slightly and moved away.

After Mingyue left, Victoria Song casually asked, "Brother, is this your new lover? She's pretty good looking."

"That's not true, don't talk nonsense!"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "She advised me not to take up the post in the imperial capital. What do you think, should I go?"

"Why not?" Song Qian said excitedly, "We're all so strong now, it's time to go to the capital and play some high-end games!"

She clenched her fists, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Second Prince has been suppressed by the Crown Prince for a while now and can't even raise his head.

As the big boss behind Xiao Er, it's time for us to help out!"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "Look, you're anxious again!"

......

He took the teleportation array from Southwest Province to Domain City, and then teleported from Domain City to Ping'an County City outside the imperial capital.

After walking out of the teleportation array and flying three thousand miles north, you will reach the core area of ​​the Daosong Dynasty, the imperial capital.

Song Xuan led Song Qian, Heishan and Gudaoyi. They did not fly away directly, but took a cruise ship and sailed slowly along the canal towards the imperial capital.

At the bow of the ship, Song Xuan, dressed in a neat blue shirt, stood tall with clear eyes and brows, looking at the scenery outside the imperial capital with a lively look.

There are many handsome men and beautiful women among those who practice cultivation, but even so, just standing there, it still makes people feel that what the heaven and earth favor is nothing more than this, and the rest of the living beings seem too ordinary.

Song Erni stood quietly aside. Her cloud-silk dress embellished with exquisite tassels was particularly eye-catching. Her slender waist was as soft as a willow branch, and her whole body exuded a youthful vitality.

The fair skin is crystal clear under the reflection of the water, as if emitting a faint luster.

Song Xuan glanced at Song Erni who was in a quiet state. He had to admit that Erni still looked like a goddess even without opening her mouth. Along the way, several young men had been fascinated by her charm.

Behind their cruise ship, there were more than a dozen pleasure boats, following them not too close or too far away.

"elder brother!"

The goddess Victoria Song didn't remain silent for long. Instead, she blinked and said, "What do you think would be the reaction of the imperial court if a sudden flood occurred and drowned a few young masters?"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "Not really, not really..."

Victoria Song chuckled and said, "I was just joking. If they want to follow me, then they can. As long as they don't go too far, I won't kill them on sight."

The cruise ship slowly sailed into a ferry. The sounds of hawking could be heard on both sides of the shore. The place was bustling with people and very lively.

Song Qian's eyes were immediately attracted by the colorful lanterns on the shore.

She has liked these strange and colorful little things since she was a child. The lanterns in the imperial capital even have snow-white wings on both sides. When put into the river, they will actually float along the river, which is very interesting.

In the back, on a pleasure boat, a young man followed Song Qian's gaze and was immediately delighted.

"Miss, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. If you like these lanterns, I will buy them all for you. Write your wish on the lantern and let it fly. It is said that wishes can be easily fulfilled!"

Song Qian glanced at him sideways, then retracted her gaze and replied in a cold voice,

"childish!"

Chapter 753 Victoria Song: I made a wish on the lantern

Being close to the imperial capital, the overall atmosphere for Song Xuan was serious.

Whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, they all behaved in an orderly manner, and it was almost impossible to see anyone flying in the air.

Except for privileged institutions, flying is prohibited within the imperial capital.

After being called childish by Victoria Song, the young man's face turned pale, but he just smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to continue to pester her.

There are fools these days, but not many. Before knowing the whole story, even the sons of princes and nobles will not be so foolish as to try to kidnap a woman.

The imperial capital is a place where all kinds of people mix. A woman who is so beautiful that people can covet her can come to the imperial capital by boat without any scruples. This in itself is a manifestation of her strength.

No matter whether this strength comes from herself or the forces behind her, it shows one thing, that is - she is not easy to mess with!

Song Xuan paid two spirit stones, took a lantern from the vendor, and handed it to Song Qian.

The cold look on Song Qian's face disappeared instantly. She took the lantern with a smile, and with a flip of her right hand, the Emperor's Pen appeared in her hand.

"I heard that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you write your wishes on lanterns and release them, they will come true. Brother, do you think this is true?"

At this moment, she didn't show any coldness or aloofness by calling others childish.

Song Xuan shook his head decisively, "Absolutely impossible!"

The expectation in Song Erni's eyes suddenly disappeared. She shook the pen in her hand unwillingly, "Then it's impossible for me to write with this pen?"

Song Xuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure about that. It depends on what wish you made. If you wish for world peace, then forget it!"

"understood!"

Song Qian suddenly became happy again. She quickly picked up the pen and wrote two words on the lantern. Seeing her brother looking at her curiously, she pouting and reached out to push Mr. Song out.

"Don't look at it, it won't work if someone sees it!"

"If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it!"

Song Xuan took two steps back and looked up at the sky.

The weather in the imperial capital changes so quickly. It was sunny just now, but now the sky has changed color and is covered with dark clouds.

“It’s done!”

Victoria Song put away the Human Emperor Pen, then held up the lantern and murmured devoutly, "Lantern, oh lantern, fly with my wish..."

He raised his hand and threw it, and the white wings on both sides of the lantern flapped continuously as if they had life. After a while, it flew into the clouds and disappeared from the sight of the brother and sister.

Song Xuan resisted the urge to use his spiritual sense to check what Song Qian had written. He pointed at the sky and said, "It's going to rain. Let's go into the city early!"

At the stern, Heishan and Gudao, two servants wearing straw hats and raincoats, acted as boatmen. Upon hearing Lord Song's instructions, they immediately paddled and headed towards the imperial capital.

Before the boat left the shore, a sweet voice called out from afar, "Boatman, wait a minute, take us with you!"

Heishan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two women walking quickly on the shore.

The two women were one tall and one short. The tall woman was wearing a white brocade dress with a long flowing skirt.

The short woman was wearing a green gauze skirt. She looked younger, lively and cute.

When they reached the shore, the woman in green called out in a gentle voice, "Boatman, it's going to rain. Could you give us sisters a ride?"

Heishan looked at the two women. The woman in green was okay. Although she was pretty and cute, he was used to the beauty of the Song family's wife and eldest daughter, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

But when he looked at the woman in white, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The woman in white had a beautiful figure, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and eyes like autumn water. There was an indescribable elegance and nobility in her glance, and her whole body seemed flawless.

Even from the perspective of Montenegro's aesthetics, one cannot help but sigh secretly,

So fucking beautiful!

This is the only woman in his knowledge who can be compared with his wife in terms of appearance, figure and even temperament.

This is a bit outrageous. You know, the lady is comparable to the Mahayana stage, and the woman in white in front of him can be compared with her. Could it be that she is also a master?

Heishan subconsciously took a look at him. He did not spread his spiritual sense to explore the other party's cultivation level. This is the imperial capital, with countless masters. In the absence of any grudges, rashly exploring other people's cultivation level is a taboo in the cultivation world.

But even so, Heishan instinctively felt that this woman was definitely extraordinary.

Therefore, he did not directly answer the question from the woman in green. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "This boat belongs to my young master. Whether I can give you a ride or not, you have to ask my young master first."

Upon hearing this, the woman in green turned to look at Song Xuan and said, "Sir, this handsome young man, could you give us a ride?"

Song Xuan glanced at her with a smile on his face, "I can tell you're an honest person. Come on up, it's a piece of cake."

"Thank you, sir!"

The woman in green bowed slightly in thanks, then she and the woman in white bent down and walked into the cabin. At this moment, heavy rain fell from the sky.

The cabin was not big. Song Xuan and Erni sat on one side, and with the two women opposite them, it seemed a bit crowded for a moment.

Especially since getting on the boat, the woman in white sitting opposite has been staring at Song Xuan intently, which makes the atmosphere in the cabin even more weird.

"Cough cough!"

Song Qian coughed twice and frowned, "Where are you two girls from? What are you doing in the imperial capital?"

The woman in green looked innocent and immediately replied, "We are not from the imperial capital. To be more precise, we are not from Dao Song. We are here to look for someone."

As she spoke, she pointed to the woman in white beside her, "My sister has a karma that has not been resolved. After calculation, I just found out that this karma is within the Dao Song territory."
