Chapter 1013

As soon as the morning light rose, Sun Chaoen had already finished washing, holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, drinking it while comparing the local annals of various places in the State of Ji on the map.

At this time, the study door was pushed open, and Cai Miao walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup, took the porridge bowl from Sun Chaoen's hand, and said: "You are now a third-rank official, why are you still drinking thin porridge for breakfast? I prepared old chicken ginseng soup for you, drink it while it's hot."

Sun Chaoen said thank you, took it and drank it in one gulp, his eyes did not move away from the local annals.

Cai Miao sat quietly on the side without speaking until the timed chime sounded. Sun Chaoen closed the book, and Cai Miao asked: "Why are you still so diligent?"

Sun Chaoen sighed: "Power is like water, moon, and mirror, and like morning dew and phantom mist. It disappears when it says it disappears. If you are not diligent now, it will be too late to regret when you lose power."

Cai Miao was born pure and weak, and sighed when she heard it: "Yes, that's how I came, and now I have to follow you to do these absurd things. What do you want this power for?"

Sun Chaoen smiled: "For the sake of all people, do you believe it?"

Cai Miao shook her head: "I don't believe it! The only one I know who is truly for the sake of all people is your true master."

Sun Chaoen laughed and said: "Well said! Actually, what I want is just to overthrow everything above my head. As for what to do after overthrowing, to be honest, I haven't thought about it, and I don't have the ability to plan. That one is enough."

Cai Miao gritted her teeth and said: "I also hate this world! Shall we work hard together?"

Sun Chaoen looked at her unexpectedly and said: "How to work hard?"

"During this period, I have already understood the temperament of the King of Ji very well, but I have to get that bitch Xu Shang down first. Come, make up a lesson before you go to court, it's best to go to court with two dark circles under your eyes!"

Cai Miao said, sweeping the sundries on the desk to one side and lying on it herself.

When the eunuch sang the word "retreat from court," Sun Chaoen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was exhausted and almost yawned several times. Cai Miao also had secret methods, and the harvest from taking her class was doubled, and the payment was also doubled. Sun Chaoen's Dharma Form was a bit reluctant, and he really couldn't stand such morning and evening classes without missing one.

The officials retreated from court, but the eunuch stopped Sun Chaoen and said that the King of Ji summoned him.

A moment later, Sun Chaoen walked into the Imperial Study. As soon as the King of Ji saw him, he almost stood up, but sat down slowly again, asking with concern: "Sun Aiqing, why are you so exhausted today?"

Sun Chaoen sighed: "The inner family needs too much, and they didn't even let go in the morning, so I did some homework."

The King of Ji's breathing became a bit rough, and then they chatted casually about major military and national affairs. Sun Chaoen said: "You can order a partial division to go out of the pass to Mobile Corps Commander, contain the main force of the rebel army, retreat to the pass when the rebel army returns, and harass the rear if the main force does not return."

But the King of Ji was clearly absent-minded, just hummed a few times, and ordered people to send Sun Chaoen away.

Sun Chaoen returned to the mansion, and sure enough, Cai Miao had already been picked up by someone from the palace and was not released until dawn the next day.

Cai Miao, when she returned, was like a crumpled cloth doll, almost unable to stand up, but she had a victorious look and raised her fist at Sun Chaoen!

Sun Chaoen didn't have time to talk to her much, but knew that she must have won against Noble Consort Xu once, and it was a big victory. Sun Chaoen changed into his court clothes and hurried to the palace, but was told that the monarch did not hold court today.

At this time, in the palace, the King of Ji kept yawning, his eyes dazed, looking at Cang Wu opposite him.

Cang Wu looked disgusted, threw a pill box in front of the King of Ji, and said: "There are three pills in here, you can eat them yourself, one can guarantee ten days. I remind you again, don't spend too much thought on that woman Cai Miao. She is a relative of the Left Prime Minister of the State of Jin, and Sun Chaoen has a deep entanglement with Wei Yuan. Coming here may not have good intentions."

The King of Ji picked up the pill box, played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "Sun Chaoen caters to my preferences, he must have ideas. But is Gu afraid that he has ideas? Among the civil and military officials, who doesn't have ideas? Tinghai Xianjun said he harbored evil intentions. I haven't seen the evil intentions yet, but at least he let me have a lot more joy first."

"And the Immortal recommended five great generals one after another, totaling 10,000 miles of lost territory and 500,000 troops lost. If it weren't for using Sun Qing's plan, I'm afraid the rebel army would have hit the city again now. Tinghai Xianjun has cultivation, but he doesn't know people!"

A look of anger flashed on Cang Wu's face: "How could I care about the trivial matters of mortals? The repeated defeats at the front, isn't it caused by your remote command and daily air-dropping of imperial edicts? A distant descendant of mine in the mortal world was beheaded by you, and I didn't say anything!"

The King of Ji sneered: "This descendant of yours wanted to replace me. I wanted to give this throne to him, but the problem is, does he dare to sit?"

Cang Wu's face was livid. If his descendant really sat on the throne of the King of Ji, if it really had anything to do with him, then the Martial Ancestor's backhand would be activated, and even if he were an immortal, he would die on the spot and would not be able to reincarnate.

A king and an immortal looked at each other, neither giving an inch. After a while, they finally knew that neither could do anything to the other.

Cang Wu said slowly: "If you ruin the overall situation, I'm afraid you can't afford the consequences."

The King of Ji said lightly: "Since the Immortal also has to be driven by others, then the one or several adults behind you are so easy to deceive, and will only listen to your one-sided words? If you mess up this matter, who do you think will be punished more severely? Besides, how many years do I have left to live in total, will I be afraid of this threat? If you really let me achieve the Imperial Realm, then I will be afraid."

Cang Wu snorted, suppressed his anger, and said: "Fighting with the rebel army, victory or defeat is not important at all, as long as the population is cleared. The first step is to reduce the population of the four western commanderies to less than 10 million, so the great array can be formed. The second step is to clear the ten western commanderies, then the great cause can be achieved. As for your Imperial Realm, at that time, it will just be a matter of an immortal pill."

The King of Ji said: "Isn't this right? Tinghai Xianjun still has ten thousand years to live, why must you find trouble for yourself and insist on pressing me, the human king? You do your overall situation, I continue my fun, well water does not interfere with river water, isn't that good?"

"And I heard that after ascending to immortality, one must cut off worldly ties. Tinghai Xianjun doesn't have a family, why do you always support your own mortal blood descendants? Isn't that giving people a handle?"

Cang Wu said angrily: "Cultivators of immortality generally have some bottom line, how can they easily make a move on mortals?"

The King of Ji said meaningfully: "The world is not only you who can be shameless!"

Cang Wu flicked his sleeves and left.
