Before the two of them could continue chatting, another person came outside.
Master Xu hadn't come back yet, so Chen Changsheng said something to Ji Xingsheng and then returned to the table.
When he turned around, he saw that Ji Xingsheng had left, leaving only the empty cup of tea on the table.
Now, this old minister is just looking for someone to chat with and have a few casual conversations.
Chen Changsheng sat down and looked at the visitor.
The visitor was simply dressed in a martial arts uniform, which somehow made Chen Changsheng feel familiar.
But the man came forward, sat down, and gave his name.
"Shangguan Ningjing."
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and murmured: "Shangguan Ningjing..."
Shangguan Ningjing asked: "Does your Excellency recognize me?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head, then nodded, and then said: "I've heard about your father."
Shangguan Ningjing was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but did not answer.
Chen Changsheng did not say any more, but asked: "Are you here to participate in the Immortal Conferment Conference?"
Shangguan Ningjing nodded and said, "Aren't warriors allowed to participate?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Of course it is possible. I heard from Mr. Xu that some warriors also took away the waist cards two days ago. However, in comparison, warriors are far behind compared to gods and monsters. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good result.
"
Shangguan Ningjing blinked and said, "Are there really gods and monsters in the world?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
Shangguan Ningjing continued: "I have practiced martial arts for many years. I have walked through murderous graves, haunted houses, passed mass graves at night, and visited deep mountains and old forests. I have never encountered any ghosts or monsters, let alone gods."
Chen Changsheng said: "Martial men have evil energy and blood to protect themselves, so ghosts and monsters will naturally not be able to enter. If ordinary people were like this, maybe there would be grass growing on the graves now."
Shangguan Ningjing smiled and said: "Even if there are monsters and ghosts, they should be afraid of me, and I feel that people who practice martial arts may not be able to kill monsters."
Chen Changsheng said: "The last sentence is quite true."
Those who practice martial arts can indeed kill demons and destroy ghosts.
But the prerequisite is that there must be a breath of evil spirit and blood in the body.
Just like when a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles is stained with blood, evil spirits will enter the body and make demons and ghosts fear him. The same is true for warriors.
Chen Changsheng asked again: "But speaking of it, you don't believe this in your heart, so why do you come to this Immortal Conferment Conference again? This conferred person is the righteous god."
Shangguan Ningjing said: "I have nothing to do, so come and have fun."
"Is this so..."
Chen Changsheng murmured, then handed over the badge without asking any more questions.
"Thank you."
Shangguan said calmly and then strode away.
Things became much less interesting after that.
Mr. Xu bought some noodles and ate them at the table.
Master Xu asked: "Master Ji is gone?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Maybe there is something going on at the Ministry of Revenue."
Master Xu didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
Chen Changsheng continued to ask: "I heard from Mr. Ji that he passed the palace examination before, and then gradually took the position of minister."
Master Xu paused and said, "Sir, please forgive me, Xu really doesn't know much about these things."
His level is really not enough to see, and even if you want to understand it, you can't understand it.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng stopped asking.
Mr. Xu really doesn’t know much.
In the afternoon, a thick cloud came from the sky, temporarily blocking some of the light and giving us some shade.
With fewer people coming, Chen Changsheng was free.
I was about to close my eyes and rest for a while, but suddenly I heard jingling bells outside, as if many people were coming.
The officials below came up and said something in Mr. Xu's ear.
Mr. Xu was immediately shocked.
"What!!"
Chen Changsheng also opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Xu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here..."
Just as he was talking, he saw a man in casual clothes walking in from outside, followed by a man with oily hair and a pink face, who was Yan Ruchu and the eunuch beside him.
Mr. Xu immediately knelt down, and the officer beside him also knelt down.
"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
All of a sudden, a crowd of people knelt down.
This was not Yan Ruchu's original intention, otherwise he wouldn't have come out in casual clothes.
Master Xu was shocked when he saw Chen Changsheng still sitting. He quickly tugged on his trousers and said, "Mr. Chen, kneel down quickly, kneel down quickly..."
Chen Changsheng paused and did not explain anything.
Yan Ruchu raised her hand and said: "Everyone, get up. I will pretend to be out of the palace, so don't make any noise."
He secretly thought that this person was a bit awkward.
Can't you see this?
But now that it was like this, there was nothing he could do.
He just felt that it was not good for the scene to be like this with your husband here.
But it seems that Mr. Chen doesn't mind either.
A group of people stood up.
Mr. Xu was worried about Mr. Chen and could not help but whisper: "Mr. Chen, it is a serious sin not to worship the king..."
Chen Changsheng said: "It's okay."
Master Xu looked over and saw His Majesty's eyes falling on Chen Changsheng.
Mr. Xu sighed secretly and wondered why Mr. Chen couldn't get enough oil and salt.
Don't hurt him too.
Yan Ruchu walked forward, stopped in front of Chen Changsheng, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this place? Is it interesting?"
Chen Changsheng said: "It's pretty good. I've seen a lot."
Yan Ruchu smiled and then glanced at the eunuch beside her.
The eunuch immediately went forward and brought a chair.
Yan Ruchu sat next to Chen Changsheng, level with him.
Chen Changsheng said: "Why are you in the mood to run away from the palace?"
Yan Ruchu said: "If I don't go out for a walk, this leg will be embroidered."
As he spoke, he also tapped his leg.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "How about Chen teach you two sets of boxing techniques, which would be good for you to fight in the palace on weekdays."
Yan Ruchu said jokingly: "Mr. Chen doesn't want me to come out again."
Chen Changsheng also responded with a smile: "Nonsense."
Mr. Xu on the side was trembling with fear when he heard this, and his legs could not stop shaking.
Your Majesty actually called me in front of Mr. Chen!?
This kind of conversation sounded in Mr. Xu's ears like a ground-breaking shock. For a moment, his mind was roaring, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Yan Ruchu breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
The eunuch beside him understood.
Then he stepped forward and whispered in Master Xu's ear.
"Yes yes yes!"
Seeing this, Mr. Xu quickly stood up and told the officers to stay far away from here, so far away that they couldn't even hear a sound.
Yan Ruchu glanced at the eunuch who came back and said, "You go down too."
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, this..."
Yan Ruchu waved her hand.
The eunuch lowered his head and immediately retreated, but he didn't go far, so he could rush over as soon as possible.
Master Xu stepped forward tremblingly and inquired: "Father, who is this Mr. Chen..."
The eunuch glanced at him and said, "Does Master Xu like to inquire about these things?"
Mr. Xu was startled, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I don't dare. If the lower official slips, he will be slapped."
As he spoke, he whipped himself up.
The eunuch didn't stop him, he just stood calmly.
In fact, he also wanted to know what kind of relationship this Mr. Chen had with His Majesty.
