Hou Wenwu was not a high-ranking official, so he had the emperor's favor and could not pose a fatal threat to a star warlock. Based on this judgment, Warlock Liu Kuangxing asked Cheng Jinzhou to let him go - the imperial court would naturally respond positively to this,

As a gentleman who wants to become a royal star warlock, a good relationship with the court and real abilities are very good stepping stones.

However, Cheng Jinzhou's view of Hou Wenwu was not that of a simple court official. The other party was Inspector Hubu, his father's boss, and after several provocations, he escaped from the outer peninsula...

From Xiao Cheng's perspective, Hou Wenwu's existence is more about face.

Faced with Cheng Jinzhou's serious look, Xiang Xin couldn't help but repeat: My master's opinion is to let Hou Wenwu go. He will no longer threaten you, and you will gain a good reputation.

What does a star warlock need a good reputation for? Cheng Jinzhou sneered, shook his head and said, I'll pick up Shen Cong first, and we'll talk when I get back.

In his heart, he had some doubts. Could it be that Hou Wenwu was released that day under the instruction of Warlock Liu Kuangxing?

Doesn't seem necessary.

The life and death of the seventh-level civil servants cannot really affect the appointment and dismissal of the royal star warlocks. It is not a wise choice to make extraneous matters.

Liu Qingshuang was still led by him towards the door. She was receiving everyone's attention along the way, and she couldn't help but lower her head. Her bright red cheeks made people pity her.

Brother Jinzhou, congratulations. Shen Cong sang Fei Nuo and performed standard aristocratic etiquette in front of a group of people. Then he looked at Liu Qingshuang and said with a smile, This is my brother and sister, right?

Liu Qingshuang accepted the blessing, but she showed a generous and half-master attitude and said with a smile: Thank you, Brother Shen, for coming here.

Where is it? Shen Cong said casually, but he took out a string of beads from his pocket and handed it to her: I came out in a hurry, so I didn't bring anything valuable. These are our own pearls. It's fun to play with them occasionally. .”

The Shen family's pearls in Chaohu Lake were quite famous, so what Shen Cong was holding was not an ordinary item. Liu Qingshuang glanced at Cheng Jinzhou before accepting it with a smile.

The aristocratic Cheng Jinzhou had a poor foundation in etiquette and could not compare gestures with others. At this time, he grabbed him with a smile and said: You are so polite. Next time I see your wife, I will give you a big gift in return.

His current net worth is not inferior to that of many aristocratic families, and it is also impressive to say the least.

Speaking of his wife. However, Shen Cong said with a look of helplessness on his face: I don't know where you are, let alone her, I must congratulate you again for becoming a priest in the temple.

His voice was loud, and several civil servants gave him dissatisfied looks.

Disciples of etiquette have never had a good impression of the church.

It's a pity that I still have to take the imperial examination as usual, but you have already become a priest in the temple. What a difference in fate. Shen Cong patted Cheng Jinzhou on the shoulder with deep feeling. He was three years older than the latter. Seeing the future direction is different.

Cheng Jinzhou felt something move in his heart when he heard this, and said with a smile: I haven't decided whether to give up on the imperial examination yet. Maybe I will compete for it.

Why are you striving to be promoted? Shen Cong was dumbfounded.

Theoretically, one can become an official if one is elected. It would be a good thing if one can win the county magistrate. Cheng Jinzhou chuckled. The official title of county magistrate is indeed worthless, but it is an official close to the people, the so-called Bailihou. As long as he can withstand the pressure, being a county magistrate is equivalent to a fiefdom of hundreds of miles, and millions of acres of land will be at hand. If there are some mineral ports and so on, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all his own—— Today, no nobleman has such great power.

Shen Cong didn't think much about it, just looked at Cheng Jinzhou and shook his head and said: If you want to participate, then I welcome you. You are also a first-level star warlock now, and you may have some means.

The two of them laughed tacitly. The examiner on the scene is a first-level star warlock. It is difficult to escape and easy to escape.

The banquet was a Western-style buffet banquet.

Although there are also Chinese delicacies such as spring rolls on the dinner plate, most of them are Western-style pastries that Cheng Jinzhou may or may not be familiar with. The gentlemen from the far west are working hard to integrate into Daxia society, and on the other hand, they are also spreading their favorite culture to the outside world.

As expected, Star Warlock An Feng did not send anyone to attend the banquet, and the few Star Warlocks behaved more like demonstrations than friendship.

Warlock Jiang Huangxing sent several star warlocks to attend the banquet in the temple. Their enthusiasm was second only to Xiang Xin. If he hadn't known about the situation in advance, Cheng Jinzhou might have been very grateful.

In the imperial court, the highest official was the deputy minister of Menxia Province, a third-grade official with a rank of level 6. Although his position was very important, he was outshone by a group of star warlocks.

Informal banquets are suitable for formal expressions of dissatisfaction.

Instead, Cheng Jinzhou calmed down, chatting with others peacefully, eating peacefully, and accompanying Liu Qingshuang peacefully.

Until Father Cheng and Mother Cheng arrived.

The call-caller shouted loudly: Sir Cheng Yun'an has arrived.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his head and saw his long-lost mother.

Cheng's mother almost shed tears. It was rare for female relatives to come to the church, so she didn't care much. She walked quickly with Cheng Yun'an, and her anxiety was obvious at a glance.

Liu Qingshuang struggled hard with her left hand twice and escaped from Cheng Jinzhou's grasp, but even her neck was red.

Son. Walking closer, Cheng's mother grabbed Cheng Jinzhou in two steps, almost bursting into tears.

Let's go to the inner hall to talk. Even though the star warlocks and civil servants around them looked away, the banquet was still not a suitable place for expressing emotions.

Cheng's mother nodded repeatedly. She came all the way from Shaonan by boat. Although it was comfortable, the speed was slow. When I came to the capital, I heard a lot of dangerous things, and I was already very scared.

Cheng Jinzhou was not very used to situations that were too sensational. Thinking about dragging his father here, with this adult here, the situation would not be easy to get out of control.

…

I don’t know how long she talked, but Mother Cheng’s soft sobs continued. Seeing that Cheng Jinzhou was fine, she finally felt relieved and sent someone to call Liu Qingshuang, saying: “Now that you have an identity, it’s better to have it.” Let’s get the marriage done in a while.”

Most of the priests and priests in the church were not married. She was probably worried that Cheng Jinzhou would join this group, so she became anxious.

Cheng Jinzhou was shocked and quickly looked at his father.

Cheng Yun'an was finally a sensible person and did not explain the many disputes in the court to Cheng's mother. He only said: Let's give it another two years.

In another two years, there will be many changes. Cheng's mother said this, but no longer insisted.

When Liu Qingshuang came, Mother Cheng took her to talk.

Cheng Yun'an took time out, stared at Cheng Jinzhou for a moment and said, What do you think? Join the temple to perform sacrifices?

He felt some emotion in his heart. If he were in the home of another official, his son would have to listen to me for his living habits, not to mention his political leanings. Now that Cheng Jinzhou joined the Holy Church, such a big event was not announced, but he felt that it was natural.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed twice, but it cannot be said that it was the reason for the fierce push from customer service 010. He shrugged and said: Father Li Zhong is very sincere, and although the Star Warlock Association is huge, it is divided into three parts. It is better to jump out and forget it.

Ordinary star warlocks don't have many choices. Although it is easier for Star Warlocks trained by the association to advance, they have less autonomy. The benefits gained from level up often have to be shared with the association.

The civil servants knew very little about what was going on in the Star Warlock Association, so Cheng Yun'an just listened to it, but he told Cheng Jinzhou about the changes in the court in recent days in detail.

He was also worried that Cheng Jinzhou would make mistakes in interpretation.

However, after he finished speaking, his pedantic air spread again: I heard that you released Hou Wenwu back. That's fine. One day I will ask someone to talk about it and expose this matter.

It can't be uncovered. Cheng Jinzhou said with admiration after hearing this: Dad, that Hou Wenwu is a wolf that has eaten meat, and he can't be raised well. For this purpose, you have to be careful about him and don't get hurt by hidden arrows. I'll think of other methods. He's been back for more than ten days, what is he doing?

Cheng Yun'an's face changed slightly when he heard that, and he hesitated and said: Inspecting the warehouse... is also the responsibility of the inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Cheng Jinzhou wrinkled his nose and whispered, Do you know that Warlock Liu Kuangxing is fighting for the Royal Star Warlock?

Is it supported by Prime Minister Liu? Cheng's father was also shocked, and said in a flash: No, Prime Minister Liu abdicated, Liu Chuanxia is now entering the Political Affairs Hall, and he looks a little younger.

To the civil servants, if Warlock Liu Kuangxing becomes the Royal Star Warlock, the power of the Liu family will inevitably increase greatly. Changes in the political hall are naturally the primary consideration.

Cheng Jinzhou was not that sensitive to court politics. Only after listening to his father's words did he realize that he and Warlock Liu Kuangxing were a natural alliance.

With the moon above the treetops, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively.

The two large wine jars placed in the center of the ground have been filled with wine twice, and are still decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. There are many capable people in Xia Jing's vanity fair, and there are even more people with nothing to lose.

Prince Yanping has arrived... Zhike, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly felt lucky and shocked the entire banquet.

The most shocking thing is of course not Zhike's majestic voice, but the content of the voice.

The joy on Li Zhong's face flashed across his face, and he was about to go to greet him with vigor, when he saw a purple-robed priest running over in a hurry, lying directly in his ear and saying: Xingzhou Temple, after activating the super Long-distance star array.”

What?

They want to teleport the messenger directly from Xingzhou to Daxia.

Are they crazy? The ultra-long-distance star array requires you to be able to withstand 5,000 star points, and you have to find your own way along the way. There is only one day to calculate the tens of thousands of miles... Even a fourth-level star warlock...

At this point, Li Zhong suddenly stopped and said: Has the star array been activated?

After you confirm, the transmission will begin.

Without saying a word, Li Zhong turned around and started running, activating the star formation as he ran. As for the third prince, he had long forgotten about it.
