There was an uproar around, people looked at Sun Changming in surprise, Ji Su almost jumped up in excitement, pointed at Sun Changming and shouted: "Sure enough, I asked you out! You are a treacherous villain, you still want to steal the treasures of our Imperial College, come on, Take him down for me! I will deal with it later, His Majesty Bingming!"

Liu Zhi and Liang Yuzhi frowned together and took another step together to prepare to come forward.

Sun Changming remained indifferent and asked Ji Su: "Why? I did gain something in Xuanyuan Cave, but it is not your Imperial College stuff."

"That's nonsense!" Ji Su shouted: "Xuanyuan Cave belongs to our Imperial College, and any treasures you get in it belong to our Imperial College!"

"But that's not what I got." Sun Changming seemed to be just being stubborn.

Ji Su became even more arrogant: "Hurry up and hand over the treasure, otherwise I will kill you on the spot and I will naturally find it from your body!"

Sun Changming sneered and said disdainfully: "This thing is not easy to show in public, and it is confidential. I'm afraid you are not qualified to know your identity."

Ji Su angrily scolded: "That's nonsense! Stop messing around. My rank is higher than that of your little gangster Jiang Dusi. You can know things, so why can't I know?"

Sun Changming shook his head slightly and looked at Liu Zhi: "Master Liu, please come forward to invite Master Lu. This man is so messy that in order not to leak the secrets of the court, we can only ask his boss to come forward."

Liu Zhi was also very curious about what Sun Changming got in Xuanyuan Cave. He insisted that it was not from the Imperial Academy and that it involved court secrets. He nodded and said, "I'll go and invite Mr. Lu right now."

Ji Su jumped to his feet: "What? Are you using Lu Guangxiao to pressure me? You are wrong! I am a strong-willed officer and not afraid of power!"

"Pfft——" Sun Changming laughed. The disciples from the poor family behind him, led by Zhang Chunfa, laughed together.

“I can’t tell that the examiner is actually very funny!”

"This is the funniest joke I've heard this year! No, probably the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."

"Does it mean that the older you get, the thicker your skin becomes? How can this old man say such a thing without blushing or heartbeat? Does he believe it?"

Ji Su's Qiqiao was filled with smoke and he shouted angrily: "Shut up, everyone!"

Zhang Chunfa sneered: "Why don't you let us talk? We are not the supervisors of the Imperial College, and you are presiding over this bullshit list of dragons and snakes. We will not participate! You old man can't control us anymore, so you must say something happy today!"

"That's right, I can't hold it in anymore! What a dog official!"

The cultivators from poor families have the traditional temperament of being contemptuous of princes. Now that they have given up, they will curse and vent all their previous grievances. The other cultivators also joined in and started shouting wildly together, making Ji Su tremble with curses. He also knew that the law did not punish everyone, and there was no way to punish all the cultivators, so he blamed the anger on Sun Changming, the person who caused it.

"I'm going to ask Lu Guangxiao later why he is so nepotistic and shields a treacherous villain like you!"

Liu Zhi quickly invited Mr. Lu Guangxiao. Lu Guangxiao glanced at Sun Changming with a somewhat unkind expression. Do you think the current deputy minister is your nanny? If anything happens, do you have to bring me here?

If it weren't for Sun Changming's outstanding achievements in the past, and Mr. Lu was still planning to let him go to southern Xinjiang, Mr. Lu would not show up at all tonight.

Sun Changming was not an ignorant person. He immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, whispering in Lu Guangxiao's ear: "My lord, the matter involves Sang Island. The subordinates did not dare to make decisions without authorization. This is why I disturbed my lord."

He speaks and behaves like an extremely dedicated subordinate who is considerate of his superiors.

But Lu Guangxiao was an old fox for thousands of years. He glared at him and scolded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Stop pretending!"

Poor Master Sun was seen through at a glance. Lu Guangxiao said: "It does involve official matters, but you deliberately used this to plot Jisu. This is a conspiracy - in the name of the country's general situation, you used my hands to suppress Jisu."

Sun Changming felt guilty. The boss was indeed loyal...but if he could achieve the position of second assistant, he must have full political skills. He really couldn't hide his little thoughts from him. But Mr. Sun couldn't admit it. Not only did he not admit it, Mr. Sun also wanted to criticize him: "My lord, you have wronged Xianguan. Xianguan started with nothing in Tongcoffxia Gorge. He worked hard, withstood so much pressure and overcame so many difficulties to succeed. The defense line of destruction was propped up. Isn't everything done to repay the kindness of the boss and Liu Zhi?

It's the same this time. The official was wronged and criticized by the examiner, but he didn't dare to leak any information. All because the boss reminded him before that the official should handle the matter of Mulberry Island carefully and not make any extraneous matters. "

"Okay." Lu Guangxiao became impatient: "Hurry up and tell me what is going on."

If I let this kid continue talking, my brain would hurt. This kid is really capable of getting things done, and he is also very capable of irritating people, making the boss both love and hate him.

Sun Changming clasped his fists at Master Liu Zhi: "Please isolate the inside and outside."

Liu Zhi nodded and made arrangements. Then Sun Changming took out the ancient village sword from the storage bag and said to Ji Su: "Here is the treasure that I brought out from Xuanyuan Cave. It comes from the ancient holy sword village of Sang Island. The people of Sang Island used this sword to blockade Exit and kill many cultivators.

You said that you want everyone to hand over their swords, because the swords in Xuanyuan Cave belong to the Imperial College, but this sword is not owned by the Imperial College, and I surrendered based on my own ability, so why should I give it to you?

Moreover, once this sword is taken out in public, it will be tantamount to publicizing Sang Dao's conspiracy against my great Wu Tianjiao.

Firstly, it might alert the people of Sangdao and put them on guard; secondly... the court might have other plans for Sangdao, and maybe they don't want to break up with Sangdao so early. "

Lu Guangxiao was a little annoyed. This guy almost pointed at his nose and said that the imperial court had appeased Sangdao.

"This..." Ji Su was really speechless. He was not afraid of Lu Guangxiao, but he was afraid of the emperor. He actually knew the person on the dragon throne very well. The emperor would definitely be very angry with himself if he broke up with Sang Dao on the spot. At certain times, the emperor was afraid of "trouble" and was extremely "frugal"; for example, he wanted to go to war with an island country in the East China Sea.

There will be countless military affairs that will make him overwhelmed; a large amount of spiritual jade will be spent, resulting in an empty national treasury.

And the time His Majesty spends handling these military affairs and the spiritual jade used to feed the army could have been used for his own enjoyment! How relaxing and happy that would be!

If he had caused the imperial court to have a conflict with Sangdao because of losing face, His Majesty would have eaten him alive.

After Sun Changming finished speaking, he only looked at Lu Guangxiao. Taking advantage of Mr. Lu's influence this time to suppress Ji Su was indeed one of Mr. Sun's true intentions, but part of his intention was to see Mr. Lu's attitude on this matter.

Lu Guangxiao had a sullen face, lightly twirling his beard, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "Did the people from Sangdao kill our Xiuzi?"

"More than one person, those who did not leave Xuanyuan Cave should all have died under this sword."

Lu Guangxiao gritted his teeth hard and said: "Liu Zhi, take Sun Changming with you and follow me back to the city."

"yes."

Lu Guangxiao left as soon as he said so. Ji Su didn't dare to stop him, and he had no reason to stop him now. The three of them returned to the capital. Lu Guangxiao took them to his study, closed the doors and windows, and placed restrictions on them to isolate the inside and outside.

Lu Guangxiao exhaled a long breath, and his face suddenly became ferocious: "Damn the people of Sangdao! Since they jumped out, destroy them and the Nanni Kingdom together!"

Sun Changming and Liu Zhi were stunned at the same time. Lu Guangxiao continued: "I am not impulsive. After solving the Nanni Kingdom, the imperial court must form a powerful naval force. If there is any spare power, it will expedition to the Red Barbarians. If there is no spare power, it will be used. Beware of red barbarians coming from the sea.

The first battle of this navy is to go north to destroy Mulberry Island! Firstly, to train the troops, and secondly, because of Sangdao's wild ambitions, it will become a serious problem sooner or later, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible! "

Sun Changming and Liu Zhi thought about it and realized that this plan was indeed feasible. After conquering the Nanni Kingdom, the Red Barbarians would be frightened. It would be fine if they retreated. If they decided to go on an expedition against the Wu Dynasty, they would also need a longer preparation time. Taking advantage of this time, they could go north to conquer Sang Island.

Of course, this premise is that all the battle plans of the Wu Dynasty are successfully completed.

But Sun Changming also understood very well that just because the plan was feasible, it did not mean it would be successful. The Great Wu Dynasty is now riddled with holes, and there is also a ridiculous and fatuous emperor. Where will the money come from to conquer the Nanni Kingdom? Is Lu Guangxiao probably not ready yet, and thinking of building a huge naval army?

Lu Guangxiao glanced at Sun Changming: "I need your help in this matter."

Sun Changming knew that this must be the case, otherwise why would he tell himself such a state secret? He was expressionless and didn't respond.

Regardless of his attitude, Lu Guangxiao continued: "Go forward and talk to the Jiuyun Sect. Purchase the Navy's warships from the Jiuyun Sect and ask them to give you a suitable price."

Sun Changming said: "The imperial court can build warships by itself."

"If the imperial yamen were to build it, and everyone was greedy for ink, it would be difficult for even one of the ten spiritual jades to be actually used in building a warship."

Sun Changming said helplessly, "I can go and talk, but do you really have the money, sir? I'm going to talk to the Jiuyun Sect. If they don't have the money to pay after building the imperial court, the Jiuyun Sect will definitely rely on me."

Lu Guangxiao patted his chest: "I will guarantee you! If you don't pay the money, you tie me up and hand them over to Jiuyun Sect."

Sun Changming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sir, we are talking about national affairs, we don't want to cheat..."

Even if you don't pay the money, can I really tie you up?

Lu Guangxiao puffed his beard and glared: "How can you ask for my guarantee?"

Sun Changming had a headache. The old man was using all kinds of methods and could only take one step at a time: "Okay, I'll talk to Jiuyun Sect about this matter."

Lu Guangxiao immediately smiled: "I know that although you act like a chicken, you still have a sense of responsibility in the face of justice."

"I beg you, don't put a high hat on me." Sun Changming grimaced.

Lu Guangxiao added: "This is a long-term plan. The thing at hand is that Sang Dao is so ambitious that he dares to murder me, Chao Tianjiao! This matter cannot be left alone."

Sun Changming's eyes lit up: "What's your plan, sir?"

In the Honglu Temple Post House, the people of Sangdao were tight on the outside and tight on the inside. They were on guard for a few days, but the whole Wu Dynasty was peaceful, and there was no sign of raising an army to investigate.

The monk who controlled the ancient village sword had an ugly Tsukiyo head shaved that was too ugly to look at. He had two long and short swords stuck in his waist. He laughed and said: "The Great Wu Dynasty has indeed lost its courage. They are all here. A state of doing less is worse than doing more.”

The chief officer of the mission was a wrinkled old man with the same ugly hairstyle and dark feathers. He knelt on the ground and said: "Wu Chao is already a terminally ill giant and cannot even lift his arms. They don’t dare risk going to war with our country to question the charges.”

Others next to him also said: "If you ask me, this matter may not be complicated. The people who took away the Holy Sword Ancient Village are just frogs in the well. They can't recognize that the ancient village is the most precious treasure of our Mulberry Island."

For a time, the house was filled with arrogance and ambition.

"Okay." The old man in charge raised his hands and told everyone to stop talking: "This mission is of great importance, and all the people in the country are waiting for our news. Although the ancient Holy Sword Village has been lost, we have already made preliminary explorations. Now that the reality of the Wu Dynasty has been revealed, the next Hajj will be even more critical. Let’s take another step forward to see the reaction of the leader of the Wu Dynasty.”

Everyone laughed and said, "I have seen through it. They must not dare to react violently."

The hotly discussed topic in the capital these days is still the Dragon and Snake List. The final list of thirty people selected for the palace examination has been finalized. Sun Changming's disciples from a humble family voluntarily withdrew, which made it easier for Ji Su. They were replaced by twenty-eight people, most of whom were children of powerful families.

It became a joke to use a heart mirror to check Xiuzi at the exit of Xuanyuan Cave that day. The interrogation lasted for most of the night, and everyone was exhausted from the torment, but nothing was asked. It was true that no one got the approval of any sword.

After this incident, it is said that someone from the palace took back the heart mirror and took Ji Su away with him. There are rumors that His Majesty is going to punish the examiner, but there has been no action for the time being. Some people think this is a rumor, but Ruan Sansheng quietly told Master Sun: There are some mysterious people secretly monitoring Jisu's properties, including around Oude Academy.

Sun Changming snorted secretly, this is the emperor's plan to raid Jisu's house to make up for the "loss" of Longshebang - the emperor's losses always need to be borne by someone. Since you are not doing your job well, Jisu, then use your family property to pay for it. Make up for it.

Most of these people are from the Imperial City Department and belong directly to His Majesty. They keep an eye on Jisu's family and do not allow them to secretly transfer property.

The emperor's recent actions have made Sun Changming certain that if he could only use one word to describe the person sitting on the throne today, it would probably not be "foolish" but "absurd".

It sounds like "foolishness" is more serious, but in fact, the human court has a set of spontaneous response methods to deal with a fatuous monarch after many generations of experience and lessons. For example, the cabinet system of the Great Wu Dynasty can, to a certain extent, Let the fatuous emperor play with himself, and the court can support you.

But the harm of the "absurd" emperor is actually greater for the country!

For example, this time, he suddenly chose Ji Su on a whim and strongly supported him behind the scenes...

After Jisu was captured, another person had to collect money for the emperor. The emperor seemed to be anxious. This was the last chance. If he couldn't get money for the emperor's trip, it would be very miserable.

So a father-in-law, dressed in imperial attire, entered Ode Academy!

Sun Changming sneered, the emperor was so shameless. But Sun Changming had already made a judgment about the emperor, so he was not too surprised. He still studied swordsmanship at his residence every day, and at the same time, he had already planned to sneak into Luoying Mountain and destroy the three kneeling stone statues on the day before the palace examination.

Ruan Sansheng suddenly came in a panic. After entering the courtyard, he ordered his men to quickly sweep the ground and open the main door. He went straight to the inner courtyard and said to Sun Changming, "My lord wants to see you."

The "sir" he addressed directly could only be Liu Zhi.

Sun Changming was also surprised: "My lord, just send a message to my subordinates and come over. Why should he come in person?" Lord Sun would never dare to be "flattered". Liu Zhi, who is such a "courteous and virtuous corporal", is definitely up to no good.

Liu Zhi walked in slowly. In the capital city, he was the seventh-level man with great bearing. Even Wu Yuanji and Zhao Xiaoyao came to greet him personally outside the main gate. Wu Yuanji's disciples even flushed with excitement.

Liu Zhi is personable in front of outsiders, like a supreme master. After he entered, he exchanged greetings with the two Sixth Realm people, and then said: "I and Sun Changming still have some official business to discuss, so I won't leave you two alone."

The sixth realm could only resign obediently. Liu Zhi was locked inside and outside, and his face instantly turned livid, even a bit ferocious: "Mr. Lu is sick in bed."

Sun Changming was stunned and suddenly understood: "Because I accidentally got that eunuch from the academy?"

Sun Changming would not be surprised by anything the Ridiculous Emperor did, because he had already seen his face clearly. But for people like Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi who have heavy thoughts of "loyalty to the emperor" in their hearts, it is really disappointing, and Mr. Lu was directly angry.

If Master Liu Zhi had not been highly cultivated, he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.

Sun Changming was silent. In fact, he sympathized with Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi in his heart. Their thoughts were limited and not as "open-minded" as his own.

Liu Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Find a way to kill the eunuch of Oude Academy!"

Sun Changming looked at Liu Zhi in surprise: "Sir...really want to do this? This is a close official of the emperor. Killing him would be a direct slap in the emperor's face!"

Liu Zhi's expression was extremely complicated. This decision was in sharp conflict with his loyal thoughts. After a while, he spoke slowly again: "We must find a way to teach the emperor some lessons! If this continues, the Wu Dynasty will really be hopeless."

Sun Changming nodded and said: "But this matter is extremely involved. It's easy to kill the eunuch, but then the emperor will definitely be furious. How will it end?"

Since Liu Zhi has made this decision, given his status, he must have already thought of a whole set of plans.

But Sun Changming never expected that Liu Zhi glared at him and said, "Do you still need me to arrange such a small matter for you? I believe that with your intelligence, you can definitely solve it properly."

"..." Sun Changming was stunned. What should he do if the five giants of the Chaotian Division and the Seventh Realm Venerable are acting rogue?

Liu Zhi didn't look at him, looking guilty: "Kill that old dog, this is the task I give you!" Then he stood up, let go of the restraint and left!

Sun Changming shouted from behind: "I won't do it!"

Liu Zhi snorted coldly: "You will do it. Can't you be angry about this matter?"

Liu Zhizhen left, and Sun Changming walked around the room with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy. It wasn't until Han Mei came over to call him to finish his meal that he showed a warm smile.

But he was still absent-minded while eating. It was not until the moment he put down the bowl after finishing the meal that he suddenly made a decision. He felt that his whole body was enlightened. A stream of fresh air rose from the soles of his feet, penetrated directly into the Tianling Cap, and blended with the surrounding heaven and earth energy. Come together.

"kill him!"

Lord Liu Zhi is right, isn't he really angry? Instead, he was even more angry because he had already seen clearly who the person on the dragon throne was, because Sun Changming knew that this would not be the last ridiculous thing that person did, let alone the last. A nasty one!

But Liu Zhi still underestimated Master Sun's courage. The "him" that Lord Sun said "beat him to death" is not just the old eunuch from Oude Academy!

But the biggest problem in this matter is not to kill the old eunuch, but how to deal with the aftermath. Sun Changming didn't sleep a wink that night, thinking of many plans, such as blaming the people from Sang Island, or pretending to be a monster spy lurking within the human race, etc.

But in the end these plans were rejected by him. No matter which plan you choose, you can indeed take it out, and with Mr. Liu Zhi's tacit care, there is a high probability that he will not be found in the end.

But when the emperor is angry, there will be blood and rivers flowing. Once it breaks out at this time, many innocent people may be implicated. This is what Sun Changming does not want.

Until dawn, Sun Changming suddenly had an idea and suddenly said: "The direction was wrong from the beginning..."
