Chapter 166 The situation changes
"Put down everything you are doing and wait for my young master. Don't be ungrateful."
Looking at the words condensed from the clouds, Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and blinked with a strange expression.
He looked up at the big dragon god opposite him.
The water god, whose every feature was exquisite, pursed his lips somewhat forcefully, and one could tell at a glance that he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
"If I were to ask who told the Great Dragon God to spread this, I don't think the Great Dragon God would tell me."
Jiang Lin asked softly.
"I'm going to return a favor. Please give me some face and don't ask any more questions."
The Great Dragon God smiled bitterly and said, "I've known for a long time that this is an offensive job, but there's nothing I can do about it. I have to pay off the gambling debts I owed in my early years."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin looked deeply at the Dragon God.
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, at least the information was given.
Gambling debts and favors owed in early years.
Anyone who can sit down and make a bet with this person must be at the same level. Even if there are fluctuations, he must be a strong man who is the backbone of the three realms.
Besides gambling debts, there are also favors.
This is intriguing.
If there is no dealings, you won't owe favors to others. And favors as such have always been something that you owe me and I owe you. When the ties become unclear, the relationship is over.
It doesn’t matter whether you return it or not.
But now the Great Dragon God said he wanted to repay a favor, and he did so even though he knew it might offend some people, he still wanted to repay the favor.
So it is a person whose relationship is not very good, but who can make a bet with the Great Dragon God and can help the Great Dragon God do things?
Moreover, from the title of Young Master, it can be concluded that the guy who delivered the message came from a family, and he is not the head or elder of this family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Young Master.
Similarly, such a title would not appear in sects or other power groups, only in families.
A guy from a family who has never held a high position is qualified to have an equal dialogue with the Dragon God.
So this is a very prominent family?
"Since the Great Dragon God was entrusted by someone, I will naturally not be unreasonable with him."
Jiang Lin's mind raced, and for a moment he couldn't figure out when he had become connected with such a family.
And judging from the other party's tone, Jiang Lin really hated him.
"I hope you can understand."
The Great Dragon God smiled and nodded.
Although with his status and strength, he would not adopt such an attitude of treating others as equals when facing a junior like Jiang Lin who has not even achieved the way of immortality.
But Jiang Lin is different.
Many immortals and gods know this, and the speed at which gossip and information are transmitted between immortals will only be faster.
After the incident in Hangzhou City, many immortals and gods in the Three Realms knew that the Black Law Division had a single descendant in the human world.
And Heilusi had no intention of hiding it at all, and told all the immortals and gods clearly.
For at least sixty years in the future, there will be a Black Law Master active in the human world, enforcing the Black Law.
Such a junior is no longer just a junior.
What's more, Jiang Lin also has a fifth-grade heavenly talisman, which is a rare high position among the black law mages who are known for their high power but low status.
Therefore, the Great Dragon God treated Jiang Lin with the same attitude as he treated his colleagues.
"to be honest."
The Great Dragon God took a sip of tea and said with some doubt: "I don't know, what grudge do you have with...? Anyone who hears what the other party said will be angry."
He is domineering, unreasonable and arrogant.
The Great Dragon God thought silently, to face a Black Law Mage with such an attitude, even you are a little too much...
"Even the Great Dragon God doesn't know, let alone me."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I won't bother two masters with one thing. Since the Great Dragon God has come to deliver a message, could you help me deliver a message as well?"
Jiang Lin paused for a moment and said, "I owe the Great Dragon God a favor."
"What did you say, my friend?"
The Great Dragon God waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, I will tell you."
Jiang Lin thought about it, raised his hand and pointed at the clouds in front of him, then drank the tea in the cup.
"The tea is of the best quality, but it would be a waste to give it to me."
"If we have the chance to meet again, I will treat the Great Dragon God to a meal."
"I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Jiang Lin said this, stood up, bowed with a smile, and left.
"Little friend, walk slowly."
The Great Dragon God stood up to see them off, and then looked at the remaining clouds.
The rising clouds and mist are not words, but a "taboo".
There are ghost feet in the clouds, with "rain" above and "demon" below.
This is a taboo in Ziwei.
The Great Dragon God looked at the Ziwei Palace formed by the clouds and mist and laughed in silence.
Raising his hand to disperse the clouds and mist, the Dragon God looked in the direction where Jiang Lin had left. Jiang Lin was no longer there, only a bluestone road extending into the distance.
"What a Jiang Xuanying! I thought that since he was young and successful, he would inevitably be arrogant and have sharp words, but I never thought that he would be so experienced."
The Great Dragon God sighed softly.
"Old buddy, you claim to be unrivaled in divination, and you say that there is no rival after the third generation of Xuanmen, but did you predict correctly this time?"
The Great Dragon God shook his head and muttered to himself as he put away the tea set on the table.
"I don't know what has got into you to make enemies with Jiang Xuanying."
The Great Dragon God put away the tea set and raised his head again.
The rain was still falling. It was a heavy rain, which would surely wash away a lot of dirt.
Waves of white mist surged around the dragon god's body, and his figure was wrapped in the mist. As the mist disappeared, he also disappeared.
There was only one sigh, echoing above this low mountain.
"Autumn rain is not cheap, but autumn is the season of killing. I'm afraid there will be no peace this autumn..."
…………
"The court is not stable."
Inside the Prince of Qin's mansion, the Prince of Qin was gnawing on a pig's trotter and sighing softly.
Looking across, I saw a young Taoist in green robes holding a bowl and eating heartily, with a hint of moisture on his forehead.
"The Taoist priest has been gone for three days. Have you done what you wanted to do?"
King Qin asked with a smile.
Jiang Lin's journey to the underworld did not take much time in his perception, but three days had passed in the mortal world.
Originally, there is no difference in the speed of time flow between the underworld and the world of the living, but don’t forget that Jiang Lin spent most of his time in the underworld in the Wet Bone Forest.
There is no such rule in that area.
For the past three days, the King of Qin would set up such a large table for three meals a day, just waiting for Jiang Lin to come back and have a hot meal.
"It's settled. From now on, there will be no Zhou Mei anymore."
Jiang Lin wiped his mouth, swallowed the shrimp in his mouth, looked up and said, "The emperor's tentacles in the underworld are also broken."
"The team of ghost soldiers that had caused trouble have also been taken back to the underworld by Master Zhong to be punished."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin's expression brightened up a lot, and he smiled and said, "It is indeed good news."
"But why does the Taoist priest seem so worried?"
King Qin looked at Jiang Lin and saw that the young Taoist priest frowned slightly even though he was eating his favorite roast duck.
"It's a private matter." Jiang Lin put down the duck leg he was chewing halfway and asked, "Your Highness, if you were suddenly threatened by a family you had never heard of or seen before and had no idea what kind of existence they were, what would you do?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Does the other party have malicious intentions?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Not necessarily, but the attitude is very bad and makes me want to beat him up."
"Master, are you sure that you have no clue at all?"
"determine."
"In this case……"
King Qin thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I think that maybe my way of handling this will be the same as the Taoist priest's."
"Your Majesty, do you know how I handled it?"
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows.
“I can guess a little.”
King Qin touched the Ziwei jade pendant on his waist, smiled slightly, and said, "Since we are not sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but at least his attitude is bad, then let him go to my elders to talk."
Jiang Lin smiled slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Your Highness, do you think my handling of this matter is right or wrong?"
"Right or wrong is not something this king can judge."
King Qin shook his head and said, "It's just that I have to remind the Taoist priest about some aspects."
"please say."
King Qin thought for a moment and said, "I guess the person who delivered the message has some relationship with the Taoist priest?"
"Just barely. If there is a chance to make close friends, I won't miss it."
"Master, can you tell me what the other party said?"
"Put down everything you are doing and wait for my young master. Don't be ungrateful."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin knocked on the table, looking thoughtful.
Anyone who can strike up a conversation with Taoist Master Jiang is no fool, and it is even more impossible that he does not know Taoist Master Jiang’s background.
Under such circumstances, it really doesn't make sense to say such things.
"No one would do anything for no reason, even immortals are the same. And among immortals, there are naturally no fools, at least there are no fools among those who have socialized with the Taoist priest."
"In that case, then perhaps the other party's purpose is to disgust the Taoist priest?"
"The so-called young master in the other party's words, I think he will appear in the near future?"
King Qin looked at Jiang Lin and analyzed it carefully.
These things are actually not difficult to find, but Jiang Lin just didn't pay attention to them for a while.
"The other party wants me to naturally hate the so-called young master?"
Jiang Lin frowned and said with a smile: "In this case, we have to see what kind of person the so-called young master is."
King Qin smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the Taoist priest is going to do the opposite of the person who delivered the message?"
"I am not a man without temper."
Jiang Lin replied with a smile.
The King of Qin didn't say anything else, but he had an idea in his mind.
What if the Taoist priest’s current attitude is what the person who delivered the message wanted?
Do you just want the Taoist priest to be in a twisted way?
Chain set?
The King of Qin thought about it in his heart but did not say it out loud.
This is the Taoist priest's own business. It would not be good to remind him too much. Besides, the Taoist priest is not a fool and naturally has his own thoughts.
The Taoist priest has his own thoughts on how to do it, and others' comments will only cause trouble.
Jiang Lin did not continue the topic. After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth and looked at King Qin.
"Just now, the prince said that the court was in chaos?"
The King of Qin nodded and sighed, "Yes, the emperor is concentrating power to a pathological degree."
"In the past, border troops had the right to act on the spur of the moment. After all, once there was a change on the border, even if a sorcerer delivered the message, there would not be an immediate response."
"On the battlefield, things change rapidly, and border commanders must have a certain degree of autonomy."
"But now, the transfer of more than 500 people must have the emperor's order..."
Jiang Lin frowned and asked, "Anything else?"
"Big and small, a total of more than a dozen imperial orders."
King Qin sighed and said, "In short, many middle-level officials now have almost lost the meaning of their existence."
"All decision-making power lies in the hands of the emperor."
"This is simply ridiculous!"
At this point, the King of Qin could not help but pat his armrest and said, "I don't know what the emperor is going to do with his extraordinary means, but if we only look at the court, he is completely disregarding the Great Zhou!"
"There has never been such an emperor in history!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Isn't he afraid of dying of exhaustion?!"
"It's a complete mess!"
Jiang Lin listened quietly, and suddenly asked: "Is the third prince still alive?"
"I was just about to tell the Taoist priest."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin sighed and said, "The Third Prince has entered the palace, and there has been no news for two days. I'm afraid..."
"With the precedents of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, I would not be surprised even if the Emperor personally killed the Third Prince."
"This is my fault. I have failed the Taoist priest's efforts."
Jiang Lin shook his head, looking thoughtful, and said: "The death of the three sons and the consolidation of power in the court are all the emperor's own business."
"And no matter what the emperor does, the final result will not change."
Jiang Lin had roughly guessed what the emperor wanted to do.
Killing the three sons was not to take back the power in their hands, but for another purpose, which was definitely related to some evil magic.
The emperor's current actions also prove that as long as he wants, it would be just a piece of cake to consolidate his power.
It was done in three days.
The purpose of consolidating power is to take complete control of the court and eliminate any worries.
What about killing three sons?
Is it for yourself or for the planned layout?
Jiang Lin had a hunch that the emperor's ultimate goal could no longer be hidden.
Whether it is Zhou Mei, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion, or General Xuanjia, they are all part of the emperor's layout.
Every chess move was carefully arranged by the emperor.
The three evil sacrifices in Hangzhou City were the only flaw, but it was also a flaw that the emperor took the initiative to expose.
Because that was the emperor's experiment.
He wanted to see if the evil sacrifice could be a means to help him achieve his ultimate goal.
However, the final result disappointed the emperor. On the surface, only five practitioners destroyed the sacrifices of the three evil sects.
Although these five practitioners are all from prominent backgrounds, there is no guarantee that there will not be other such people.
So the King of Song was discarded after he was used up, along with his dream of becoming emperor. No one cared about him. The emperor was too lazy to even kill him.
"My Lord, the jade pendant."
Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at King Qin. The latter took off the jade pendant without any hesitation and placed it in front of Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin picked up the Ziwei Jade Talisman and tried to infuse magic power into it to communicate with the spiritual energy within it.
But it was not the aura of Emperor Ziwei, but that of Emperor Dongmingxing.
This jade talisman was given by Dongming Star Lord.
"Om..."
Almost as soon as Jiang Lin poured his magic power into it, the jade talisman vibrated and a childish voice was heard.
"It seems that I have to grow up faster?"
