Chapter 349 Where Have You Seen Me Before?
"Hey, you must be unlucky."
Zongzheng sighed quietly.
Judging from the past situation, as long as he has no problems and his foundation is clean, he will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of director.
After all, under normal circumstances, the king of a palace rarely interferes with the affairs of the Three Laws Division.
Because Zhan Lao and Sangong didn't like them very much.
This time it was all because he wanted to grab the position of the king of Moran Palace and he didn't have time to care about it.
As for asking what the new king means, that's all nonsense.
"Leave it to fate!"
Qin Ke showed a wry smile.
Zongzheng was right, he did have some bad luck.
During this period of time, he also checked the situation of other offices. Generally, the next director was recommended by the previous one. Although it is not absolute, it is at least more than 70%.
As for those kings, they basically have no objections.
So he is really unlucky.
"But you are now considered a big force in the Three Laws Division. You have attracted so many people. Even if you can't be the director, you will still have a certain say. Of course, your strength must keep up."
Hearing this, Qin Ke nodded.
In the final analysis, everything still depends on the fists.
Otherwise, everything would be in vain, but he didn't have to worry about this. With Master here, it wouldn't be a problem.
"We will leave Moran Mansion in half a month, and you will know the result by then."
Zongzheng came today to tell him the news.
By the way, I also comforted him with a few words.
He is still very optimistic about Qin Ke, and he is very satisfied with both his loyalty and his ability to do things.
When their brother goes to the imperial capital, if there is a chance, he even wants to take him with him.
"Thank you, sir."
Qin Ke nodded slightly at him. Zongzheng was a good person. He had treated him like this before.
"Okay, I have worked hard for you during this period. Fortunately, you are almost busy. You can just have a good rest or practice and wait."
Zongzheng patted him on the shoulder and then left the room.
"Half a month?"
Qin Ke squinted his eyes, it was a difficult time.
In fact, he also thought about asking his master to ask Qin Ying to take action, but he killed the idea as soon as it arose.
Because with Chen Xuan's character, if he really wanted Qin Ying to take action, he would have done it long ago.
There was no need for him to speak at all.
"call--"
With a long sigh and a complicated look on his face, he stood up and left Sanfasi after a moment.
As time passed by, Qin Ke became more and more nervous.
I even almost went crazy while practicing.
If Chen Xuan hadn't discovered it in time, he might have been dead.
He immediately scolded him.
His spiritual power was directly sealed, and he was banned from the house. He was not allowed to leave the house until the result came out.
In the study.
Chen Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
Gu Pengyou, who was sitting opposite him, came behind him, placed her jade fingers on his forehead, and started to rub it gently.
Feeling the slightest bit of coldness coming from his fingertips, Chen Xuan suddenly felt much more comfortable.
"He is still young, and the position of director of the Third Law Department is too tempting. His behavior is really normal."
young?
In total, he is even much younger than Qin Ke.
In the final analysis, I am still too ambitious.
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he was taught to promote the Qin family since he was a child.
"Seal the spiritual power to keep him calm. If he continues like this, he will almost become a demon."
"Well, that's fine too."
Gu Pengyou nodded slightly.
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan patted her hand, and then asked him, "Have the remaining ancient characters in the ancient book been deciphered?"
"No!"
Gu Pengyou shook her head and replied apologetically.
Even though she and Xiansi had studied it for so many days, they still couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes it even feels like someone is deliberately covering it up.
This feeling is not only felt by her, but also by Xiansi.
"Is it so difficult?"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly. Now he felt more and more that there must be some secret hidden in the last two pages of the ancient book.
Are you really looking for the elder from Dark Moon?
shook his head,
"Wait a little longer!"
The Imperial Capital, the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Qin Hong sat in the main hall, frowning.
There are only seven days left before the half-month period given by the father.
But there is no news at all about who is the king of Moran Mansion.
There are also traces of him in the palace, but there is no news.
"Is there any movement from them?"
Qin Hong looked at the middle-aged man in white below.
It was his confidant and strategist, Wu Ma.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, no! Your Highnesses have been staying in the mansion these days and have never gone out."
Wu Ma respectfully replied.
"snort!"
Qin Hong snorted coldly, not going out?
Which of them is a fuel-efficient lamp? I don’t know what tricks were used behind the scenes.
"Your Highness, I think your Majesty's candidate this time may not be someone recommended by several His Highnesses, including you of course."
Qin Hong was silent.
When he was in Jiuyue City, he discussed with Qin Ying and wanted to make Chen Xuan the king of Mo Lan Mansion.
But after the two talked that day, he gave up when he saw that he had no intention of getting closer.
So when he returned to the imperial capital, he recommended his own people.
Originally, he also passed it to Sangong through connections.
San Gong did not refuse.
So he thought this matter was a sure thing.
But when his father announced that he would be given a place in the burial ground for the king of Dayu, his brothers couldn't sit still.
They all joined in.
That day in the palace hall, a few of them had a red-faced quarrel over this position, completely disregarding the manners of a royal family.
This is why Emperor Yu was furious.
He reprimanded them severely.
"Hey, just wait."
Qin Hong sat on the chair and let out a long sigh.
He also agreed with Wuma's conclusion in his heart.
In the palace.
Emperor Yu was sitting on the dragon chair, with several names written on a piece of white paper on the dragon table.
These people are all recommended by them.
"Your Majesty still hasn't decided yet?"
An old man with white hair and purple robes asked with a smile.
"Haha, yes, does the National Master have any suggestions?"
Emperor Yu looked at him and asked.
The two of them are not like monarchs and ministers, but more like friends.
In the whole of Dayu, the only person who could give Emperor Yu such an attitude was the Imperial Master of Dayu.
Because he also has another identity, that is, Emperor Yu's teacher.
He had been his teacher when he was still a prince.
It can be said that he is able to reach this position because he, the teacher, deserves the most credit.
Therefore, after becoming Queen Yu, she immediately conferred the title of Imperial Master on her teacher.
"Your Majesty should know that I am no longer interested in this. It is up to Your Majesty to make your own decision."
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores.
These people were recommended by several princes, and it was really hard for him to interfere.
"Teacher, you were never like this before."
Emperor Yu looked at him with a half-smile.
"I'm old, I don't want to take care of things anymore."
The Imperial Master sighed.
He seems to be more than 20,000 years old. If Emperor Yu hadn't persuaded him to stay, he would have gone into seclusion long ago.
Emperor Yu smiled and shook his head. His eyes turned to the dragon case again. After a moment, he picked up the imperial pen and hovered in mid-air for a while.
Finally, I settled on a name.
"Eh"
The Imperial Master made a sound of confusion, looked at Emperor Yu, and said, "Your Majesty's choice makes me a little surprised."
"A group of brats are very ambitious and should be suppressed."
Emperor Yu's eyes became profound.
None of his princes are fuel-efficient.
If he wasn't in his prime, he would really have to be careful.
The royal family sometimes doesn't have much family affection, even between father and son.
"That's right. Your Highnesses are a little out of touch. It's okay to give them a beating."
The Imperial Master nodded slightly.
He was the only one who dared to say this in front of Emperor Yu.
"Then I'll bother you, teacher. Leave this to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and go directly to the Moran Mansion to announce the decree."
Emperor Yu handed the paper to him directly.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Moran House.
"It's finally here."
Mo Ran looked at the guards at the city gate and murmured.
"Hopefully my feelings are right."
Then the crowd entered the city.
At this time, he was in the study room of Chen Mansion.
Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and ended the day's practice.
"call--"
Let out a long breath.
Gu Pengyou on the side handed him a cup of tea.
"Thank you very much."
Chen Xuan laughed and drank it all in one gulp.
During this time, she stayed in the study, looking at the ancient books collected by Chen Xuan.
"Sorry, it's still not cracked."
Gu Pengyou looked at him apologetically.
"There's no rush. I have plenty of time. I've already ordered people to collect ancient books from other mansions. Take your time."
Chen Xuan consoled him.
Things related to antiquity were originally very rare, and then his collection of books here was considered to be large, but after all, the Moran Mansion was too small and too remote.
That's why he arranged for those forces to go to foreign governments to purchase ancient books.
Hope you can gain something.
"By the way, Emperor Yu will give Wang En in the palace a place for the burial ground this time, and I will protect him when the time comes."
"Thank you very much, Brother Xuan."
Gu Pengyou bowed slightly.
Second uncle will be very happy when he finds out about this.
"It's a convenient thing. Anyway, one of them is taken care of, and the same goes for both of them."
Chen Xuan was very indifferent.
With his strength, entering the Bone Burial Ground would be an overstatement.
According to Qin Ying's words, the only one who needs to pay attention is probably the eldest prince.
Gu Pengyou came behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and pressed them, "Thank you!"
This sentence represents herself.
She knew that this was what Chen Xuan did for her.
Otherwise, why should she protect the people of her Gu family? Even if he is strong, it would be a burden for them to enter the late stage of the ordinary profound realm.
At that time, the second uncle also took refuge in the imperial capital and survived by luck.
After all, once you encounter such advanced rules, it will really be a river of blood.
"Need not!"
Chen Xuan closed his eyes and leaned his head in her arms, smelling the fragrance and enjoying it very much.
"Why!"
Qin Ke looked at the book in his hand and let out a long sigh.
His spiritual power was sealed and grounded. A few days ago, Chen Xuan even asked him to read a book to calm his anxious heart.
but
The closer to the deadline, the more irritable my heart becomes.
I can't stand this book at all.
"There are still three days."
Qin Ke murmured to himself.
"Fuck, it's so fucking uncomfortable."
Suddenly, he uttered a curse word in annoyance.
"Um?"
Chen Xuan, who was enjoying the service, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Why!"
A long sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Pengyou behind him paused and asked doubtfully.
"That kid still can't calm down."
He shook his head, disappointment showing in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that he was just the director of the Third Law Department, so he could lose his composure like this.
After all, he used to be very calm.
"I understand him very well."
Gu Pengyou had a different view.
"oh?"
Chen Xuan was confused, then patted the chair next to him, "Come on, let's talk about it."
Gu Pengyou sat down slowly and then continued, "First of all, the position of the Director of the Three Laws Department is very important, and it is not as bad as you seem."
"To be blunt, even those big families are salivating, but they don't have the chance."
"And don't everyone look like you, have incredible talents, and don't care about these things."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, agreeing with her view.
but
"One thing you have forgotten is that he is my apprentice. This alone is better than anything else."
Chen Xuan is very domineering.
Also very proud.
He will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent in the future, and being his disciple will certainly not be a bad idea.
"Forehead--"
This sentence made Gu Pengyou speechless.
Although she said this very arrogantly, she didn't think there was any problem.
"You win!"
night.
Chen Xuan suddenly came to Qin Ke's room, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
"Master, why are you here!"
He was surprised, even a little panicked.
"If my master doesn't come back, your heart will be in such a mess."
He put the wine on the table casually, then picked up the book on the table, his brows suddenly frowned.
Because this book has not been turned over at first glance, and there is no crease on the paper at the back.
Seeing this, Qin Ke lowered his head and apologized honestly, "Master, please punish me!"
"Hey!"
He sighed helplessly, "I'll let you study and cultivate yourself, while you pour the wine!"
Chen Xuan glared at him fiercely.
I was really pissed off by him.
Qin Ke quickly took the wine glass, filled it with wine, and placed it respectfully in front of Chen Xuan.
"You sit down too! Drink with me, my master."
He sat down shakily, and then poured himself a glass of wine.
"drink!"
Chen Xuan raised his wine glass, and Qin Ke immediately raised his hands.
The two drank it all in one gulp.
"Comfortable!"
Chen Xuan shouted.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's so strong!"
Qin Ke didn't expect the wine to be so strong and very bad.
"Hahaha"
Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing, but the smile soon disappeared, and then he cursed fiercely, "For the position of a broken director, you have been frowning all day long. Do you look down on yourself, or do you look down on me as a teacher?"
"I told you when I was a teacher that there would definitely be a place for you in Dayu."
"That depends on strength, not just the director of the Three Laws Department."
"The small Moran Mansion is not the end of being a teacher, nor is it yours, remember this."
"Stupid stuff."
"If this continues, you will go back to Daning County."
This was probably the harshest thing Chen Xuan had ever said to him.
No talent, but with him, it won't be a problem.
But he really couldn't stand this vision and mentality.
They sealed his spiritual power and asked him to read, but in the end he still couldn't see clearly. This really disappointed him.
“Go back to Daning County!!!”
Qin Ying's face turned pale instantly.
Then all the hard work over the years will be in vain.
He understood that this was Chen Xuan's last warning to him.
If he is still so obsessed with power, this is what he will end up with in the end.
"No!"
"Plop!" With a cry, he fell to his knees.
"Master, my disciple is wrong!"
Chen Xuan just glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then continued drinking.
After a long time.
"I don't know if you really know that you are wrong or because you are afraid of duplicity. It doesn't matter. You have been with me for so long and you have all the credit and hard work, so I will give you another chance."
"Take care of yourself!"
Chen Xuan left.
But Qin Ke was still kneeling on the ground.
He lowered his head and stared blankly at the blue slate on the ground.
Chen Xuan's words "do it well" kept echoing in his mind.
"You went to find Qin Ke?"
As soon as Chen Xuan returned to the room, Ning Xin started asking.
"Um!"
He nodded, "I'm just the director of the Three Laws Department. I've been living in a haze for such a long time."
"If your character is too bad, your cultivation will be a big problem in the future."
"If something happens to him in the future, it's better to give him a good beating now. If he can transform, my husband will continue to cultivate him well, otherwise I won't be able to blame him."
Chen Xuan was very optimistic about him before.
Otherwise, the Nine Yuan Dao Dharma would not have been taught to him.
But the director of a small three-law department exposed his true nature.
Too greedy for power and neglecting one's own strength.
It's completely putting the cart before the horse.
"Okay, don't be angry, just look at himself."
Ning Xin comforted.
As a disciple who has been trained step by step and is his only disciple, Chen Xuan's requirements will inevitably be much higher.
The next morning!
"call--"
Qin Ke let out a long breath and stood up slowly.
Kneeled all night!
Thinking all night!
The greed in his heart had disappeared, and his eyes became firm.
"Master is right, one's own strength is the most important."
"With strong strength, power will naturally come."
"And as long as Master is here, nothing will be a problem."
Qin Ke murmured.
A director of the Three Laws Department blinded his eyes and cholera his mind.
Or his own vision was too short-sighted.
Of course, in the final analysis, it was because his foundation was too poor. How could a small Daning County have a long-term vision.
If he hadn't met Chen Xuan, he would have stayed in the remote Daning County all his life.
Be the free and easy young master of the Qin family.
"Practice well!"
Sitting cross-legged, he began to comprehend the Nine Yuan Dao Fa.
It's true that his talent is poor, but he only needs to comprehend the master's practice experience.
Even if he is poor, he can rely on time to grind.
In the study.
Chen Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.
He had been paying attention to the situation here. When he saw Qin Ke start practicing, he knew that he had figured it out.
It was not in vain that he had taught him a lesson.
There was still hope.
"Okay?"
Gu Pengyu, who was brewing tea, asked.
"Yeah!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and then began to practice.
Two days later!
A carriage was traveling on the street.
Chen Xuan looked at Qin Ying and was very surprised. Why did he let her come out to hang out with her today?
"What's the matter?"
After a long time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Did you forget that the new king of Moran Mansion will be announced today?"
Qin Ying smiled.
"Who cares who he is and what does it have to do with me? I might as well practice this time!"
Chen Xuan curled his lips.
It seems that he was pulled out early in the morning because of this matter.
Then he asked, "Where are we going?"
"Three Law Departments!"
"Today is not only the new king, but also the position of the director will be decided."
"Sometimes I really can't figure out what's going on in your mind. Don't you have any curiosity about such a big thing?"
Qin Ying really admires him.
She has never seen such a person who has no desires.
"Why should I think about him if it has nothing to do with me? Isn't it better to think about women at this time?"
"Bah! Lecher!"
Qin Ying rolled her eyes at him. He was really thick-skinned.
"Lecher? You have to have the capital to do that. Don't you know that?"
Chen Xuan looked at her straight and smiled evilly.
"Get lost!"
Qin Ying cursed with a blushing face, and her chest was surging with anger.
I really don't know what I like about him.
Especially his mouth. It's really mean.
"Okay, anger hurts your body, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."
Chen Xuan looked at her eyes and had to fight if she continued talking.
Women... they really say one thing and mean another.
I don't know how happy we were eating last night.
Now they are turning their backs on me.
I don't understand, I don't understand, I shook my head helplessly.
Qin Ying looked at him like this, turned her head away, and the more she looked at him, the angrier she felt.
In this way, after about half an hour, the carriage arrived at the door of the Sanfasi.
"Your Highness is here!"
Long Da's voice came from outside.
"Humph!"
Qin Ying glared at him and got off the carriage first.
"Hey!"
Chen Xuan sighed, and then got off the carriage slowly.
However, when he got off, he saw that Qin Ying had already walked to the door of the Sanfasi and opened it, and she didn't mean to wait for him at all.
"You... You will die sooner or later because of this mouth."
Long Da couldn't help but complain about him.
Even if Qin Ying was not the princess of Dayu, she was still a woman, couldn't she give in?
Every time the two of them were together, she would get angry.
"What do you know?"
"This is called the spice of life, learn it well."
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. It was really courageous for a woman to come and lecture him without a woman.
"You!"
Long Da shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Wait for me!"
Chen Xuan shouted at Qin Ying, but...she went straight into the Sanfasi.
"Damn!"
"Young lady, let's see how I'll punish you tonight!"
She walked in immediately after saying that.
In the main hall of the Sanfasi.
Zong Peng sat at the top, and Zong Zheng sat on his left.
And the two rows were filled with golden-robed police officers.
Only they were qualified to participate today.
Of course, Qin Ke was there too, and sat next to Zong Zheng.
"Brother, did you say you'll come today?"
"Yes! Old Zhan sent a message, it should be around noon."
Zong Peng whispered.
"Report to Director Zong, the prince is here."
When they heard that Qin Ying had arrived, everyone stood up instantly, and the two brothers Zong Peng also came outside immediately.
Qin Ying and Chen Xuan walked over slowly, and Long Da followed behind them.
"Who is he? I seem to have seen him there?"
Zong Peng's eyes fell on Chen Xuan.
He was sure he had seen him before, but he couldn't remember where he was.
"Master is here too!"
