Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

Until this time, Zhao Mu left quietly.

No one knew that the Great Vajra Pill had fallen into his hands.

Chapter 17

That night, Zhao Mu spent the night in the nameless tavern as if nothing had happened.

And after dawn, he returned to the Jiaofang Division refreshed as usual, without showing any abnormalities.

As for the Great Vajra Pill, he didn't take it right away, but was going to study it carefully.

After all, in addition to improving cultivation, the biggest effect of this kind of elixir is to increase life span by 20 years.

But his lifespan is infinite, and the latter is of no use to him at all.

So he had to find a way to convert all the medicinal power of the Great Vajra Pill to improve his cultivation, which required a lot of time and research.

At the same time, the news of the disappearance of the Great Vajra Pill caused an uproar in the court.

Because there is evidence that it was the group of obsequious people who planned to steal the Great Vajra Pill.

So before daybreak, a group of obsessives had already been taken into prison and tortured.

But everyone knows that it is impossible for those guys who only know how to flatter others to steal the Great Vajra Pill.

Behind this incident, there must be a more powerful mastermind.

It's a pity that even though the emperor was furious and asked the Xuanjing Division, the Xunfeng Division and the Overwatch Council to jointly investigate, no clues were found.

It was as if the mastermind behind it didn't exist, and there was no clue at all.

The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood for three liters. It is said that if the imperial doctor hadn't treated him in time, he would have died at that time.

However, although he did not die, the emperor's body was not as good as before, and he often couldn't get out of bed for two or three months when he got sick.

So as time passed day by day, the voice of letting the prince supervise the country gradually appeared in the court.

Two years later.

The emperor's health is getting weaker and weaker, and he is unable to suppress the power of the princelings who are growing stronger in the court.

So he finally decreed to let the prince take over the government.

Since then, the Prince has become the Son of Heaven, not the Son of Heaven.

But the prince seems not satisfied with this.

Therefore, after only half a year in charge of the country, voices appeared again in the court, hoping that the emperor would abdicate the throne.

But this greatly angered the emperor.

I heard that the emperor summoned the prince for this, severely reprimanded him, and even said whether the prince wanted his biological father to die quickly.

Afterwards, the voice of the court hoping that the emperor would abdicate was really clear.

So the Great Jin Dynasty passed another three years of peace and tranquility.

This year, Zhao Mu was 37 years old, and it has been No. 15 years since time travel.

The midday sun was scorching hot, causing waves of heat to rise from the ground.

On the street, the common people are listlessly busy, working hard to make ends meet for three meals a day.

At this time, a leisurely man walked out of the alley on the side of the street, spinning two walnuts in his hand.

"Old Zhao, you are finally here, hurry up."

Suddenly, on the attic of Zuixianju across the street, a middle-aged man greeted him.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Zhao Mu waved his hand and walked into Zuixianju.

The person who greeted him in the attic was his former subordinate Zheng Jingren who later joined the Xuanjing Division.

Although the two of them have been busy with their own business these years, every once in a while, Zheng Jingren would find Zhao Mu to come out and chat with each other.

in the attic.

The two sat down, and delicious food and wine were put on the table.

After Xiao Er went out and closed the door, Zhao Mu looked at Zheng Jingren's arm: "Injured? Why, what difficult case are you investigating recently?"

"Hey, what Secretary Xuan Jing did, isn't it just to make a living by exchanging his life for power, it's too common to be injured."

Zheng Jingren didn't care, he lifted the jug and filled it up for the two of them: "Come, come, don't talk about those annoying things, drink, we won't go home if we don't get drunk today."

The two drank.

Zheng Jingren laughed: "Haha, good wine!"

He looked at the walnut in Zhao Mu's hand, and couldn't laugh or cry: "I said, old Zhao, why do you like walnuts? Every time I see you in the past two years, I make you dizzy."

"It's just a hobby."

Zhao Mu casually stuffed walnuts into his waist pocket: "Tell me, why did you ask me out today? Don't deny it, we've known each other for so many years, I can still tell if you're looking for me to chat or not."

"Hehe, in this huge capital city, when I'm talking to you, I don't have to think about a word a thousand times before I say it."

Zheng Jingren shook his head and smiled lightly: "Yes, I do have something to do. I may have to leave the capital for a while, so today I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"very dangerous?"

"Well, maybe if you leave, you may not be able to come back."

"Then why go?"

"Because as long as I can come back alive, I will have the opportunity to become the head of the department and take charge of the entire Xuanjing department."

Although after being split by the Son of Heaven, Xuan Jing Division's power is not as good as before, but it is still one of the top intelligence offices in the Jin Dynasty.

And the head of the Xuanjing Division is also an important minister in the court, sought after by countless people, and has a lot of power.

What a change of world.

After more than ten years, Zheng Jingren is about to become a high-level official of the imperial court.

Seeing that Zhao Mu was silent, Zheng Jingren smiled and said, "You bastard, are you despising me for giving up my life for power?"

"It's not the first time that you don't want to die, otherwise how could you be promoted so quickly in these years?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "I was just thinking, when did you become a head like this? Being lucky once does not mean being lucky every time. If you always fight for power with your life, one day you will fight for your life."

"No way, since I have embarked on this path, there is no way for me to turn back."

Zheng Jingren sighed: "Sometimes I envy you. You have stayed in the Jiaofang Division all your life. You don't fight or grab, you can be strong without desire, and you never have to do those things that you can't help yourself."

"Okay, don't talk about this, drink!"

Zheng Jingren raised his glass.

That night, the two drank very late, and they didn't pay the bill until it was time to leave.

At the entrance of Zuixianju, a carriage was parked on the side of the street.

Zheng Jingren put his arms around Zhao Mu, and suddenly instructed in a low voice: "Something might happen in the capital recently, when you hear that I have left the capital, you should also find a way to escape out of the city, so as not to be affected by the disaster."

"Big event?" Zhao Mu was puzzled.

"Don't ask, I can't tell you more, just do it."

Zheng Jingren patted Zhao Mu on the shoulder, got into the carriage and left.

Zhao Mu frowned.

What is it that is so serious that you can escape out of the city?

……

Go back to Jiaofang Division.

Zhao Mu worked hard to dispel the smell of alcohol, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the walnuts in the kit.

The plate of walnuts is just a cover-up. In fact, these two walnuts are filled with medicinal powder made from the Great Vajra Pill.

Three years ago, he thought of how to completely transform the medicinal power of the Great Vajra Pill to improve his cultivation.

But this method is a slow absorption process, so he ground the Great Vajra Pill into powder, and then filled it into walnuts with some medicines for transforming medicinal power.

In this way, he can absorb the power of the medicine all the time, but outsiders think he is just panning walnuts.

In the past three years, he has absorbed the medicinal power of the Great Vajra Pill, seven or eighty-eight.

Finally today, he felt that he had reached the breaking point.

Chapter 18 Leaving the Capital

in a quiet room.

Zhao Mu practiced with his eyes closed, and his true energy flowed like a river in his body.

The power of the Great Vajra Pill absorbed in the past three years was continuously stimulated by the circulating true qi, making the true qi in the body bigger and bigger.

I don't know how long it has been.

A roar suddenly came from the body, and Zhao Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the dark room was lit.

His eyes seemed to have turned into two lanterns, actually illuminating the dark room.

And his cultivation has finally stepped into the Acquired Extreme Realm steadily.

In today's Great Jin Dynasty, except for a few innate masters who are rare, he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to martial arts alone.

At the same time, "Six Paths of the Gate of Heaven" also broke through again, opening the second foot gate.

He could clearly feel that the improvement of his physical aptitude was a feeling close to washing his tendons and cutting his marrow, which was very mysterious.

"Now my cultivation aptitude should be comparable to those ordinary martial arts geniuses, right?"

All these years of hard work have not been in vain.

Zhao Mu smiled, closed his eyes and continued to practice.

Eight days passed in a flash.

In the evening, Zhao Mu went out to have a meal, when he suddenly heard a conversation from someone passing by.

"Do you still remember Mrs. Zhang and Liang Min?"

"Who is it, is it famous?"

"It's the family members of Liang Xiaozhong, the secretary of the Zhongshu Ling."

"It's them, what's the matter?"

"I received a guest just now, and I asked Mrs. Zhang and Liang Min to accompany me to drink."

"Tsk tsk, mother and daughter serve together, which disciple of Liang Xiaozhong is this?"

"It's not a disciple, it's an enemy. I just saw that when Mrs. Zhang was serving tea, that guest deliberately tripped her and spilled the tea on himself. Mrs. Zhang is now being whipped."

Enemy?

Zhao Mu was a little curious.

As for Zhang Shi and Liang Min, he had met them once when they entered the Jiaofang Division, but he never paid attention to them again.

I heard that in recent years, many old friends of Liang Xiaozhong have come to take care of the business of the two mothers and daughters. The mother and daughter seem to be used to this kind of life.

Unexpectedly, another enemy came to the door today.

It's just that I don't know what enemy, it took so many years to seek revenge?

Zhao Mu thought for a while, then turned around to watch the excitement.

A luxurious guest room with many good people around the door.

In the room.

A young man in his 20s was sitting at a table drinking tea, and there was a blood-stained whip on the table.

A bloody and bloody female corpse was lying on the ground, it was indeed Liang Xiaozhong's wife, Mrs. Zhang.
