Chapter 717 Justice has made a fortune again!
Jia Daoshi and Tian Ying hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation.
The two of them kept calling each other "brother" and "little brother," which annoyed Yi Yun, who was standing next to them.
You are of the same generation, but when I call you Tian Ying, I have to call you senior. Does that mean I have to call my own son-in-law senior as well?
Thinking about this, Yi Yun felt a little vulnerable.
Of course, in this situation, no one cares about Yi Yun's thoughts anymore. When everyone sees that even a renowned figure in the martial arts world like Tian Ying is so polite and friendly to Jia Daoshi, how can they hold back?
One by one, they crowded around Jia Daoshi, wanting to have a drink with him.
Yi Yun was separated and moved to the edge without knowing when.
But there was nothing Yi Yun could do, and he couldn't get angry.
Because there are many people in it, and they are of very high seniority.
He could still speak up when facing experts of the same generation.
But there's nothing we can do when facing these seniors.
"Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble! Oh well, I've lived to this age, I should have figured some things out by now."
Yi Yun began to comfort herself from the side.
With such a good son-in-law, wouldn't he be able to dominate the world sooner or later?
However, while the martial arts world and the imperial court appear peaceful, the Great Jing Dynasty is actually on the verge of collapse.
Unless the Empress can take another step forward, chaos will still ensue.
But getting the Empress to take another step forward is easier said than done.
While others may not know, he himself knew some royal secrets.
Empress Ji Wuxin is currently cultivating a very profound, yet extremely dangerous, martial art.
Over the years, Ji Wuxin has been able to maintain her position not only because of the late emperor's influence, but also because of her own cultivation.
But if she makes a mistake while practicing her skills later, then it's all over!
Because if Ji Wuxin makes a mistake with the technique he is practicing, he will surely die!
At that time, with so many ambitious people in the court, they might devour her completely!
Yi Yun knew all of this perfectly well.
Yi Qianxiao was his most outstanding daughter, and Jia Daoshi, as his son-in-law, certainly knew what to do.
Seeing that Jia Daoshi was surrounded by layers upon layers of people and he really couldn't get in, Yi Yun could only go to the side and drink with Pei Lu.
"Elder Pei, I heard that Grand Tutor Shen has been on a ten-year expedition to the North Sea and is returning this time. Is there any news?"
Yi Yun took a sip of wine and asked softly.
Grand Tutor Shen was considered one of the most trusted advisors of the late Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty.
Ten years ago, I was ordered by the late emperor to take the route through the grasslands to launch an expedition against the barbarian tribes of the North Sea. At first, battle reports would be sent back at fixed times.
However, as time went on, battle reports became less and less frequent, and in the last five years, there was no news at all.
Many people in the court said that Grand Tutor Shen had been tricked by the late emperor, that traveling such a long distance to fight a barbarian tribe was a huge loss.
What exactly is in Beihai?
Was it worth it for Grand Tutor Shen to fight for ten years and then disappear without a trace?
And who is this Grand Tutor Shen?
He is the grandfather of Shen Li, the current Prince of Zhenbei!
This is also the fundamental reason why Shen Li, a woman, could receive such favor from the imperial court!
It should be noted that even though Mingyue Xin was as famous as her and both were considered the best in the army, she was not granted the title of king!
Just when everyone thought that Grand Tutor Shen had died in the Battle of Beihai, rumors began to circulate in the martial arts world that Grand Tutor Shen was on his way back from Beihai, crossing the grasslands and heading straight for the Cliff City, preparing to return to the capital in triumph!
This news is currently very secret, and not many people know about it.
“Master, Grand Tutor Shen is as elusive as a dragon, his whereabouts are unpredictable. We were extremely lucky to encounter him. It’s impossible to track him down again!” Pei Lu said with a sigh.
“With Grand Tutor Shen’s return to court, there will inevitably be a great upheaval in the court. The Left and Right Chancellors have always been at odds with Grand Tutor Shen. Before, when they thought he was dead, they were able to live in peace. But now that Grand Tutor Shen has returned…” Yi Yun stroked his mustache, his expression somewhat solemn.
If it were before, it would be fine. What does it matter to them whether Grand Tutor Shen comes back or not?
But things are different now. Shen Li is Jia Daoshi's wife, and Jia Daoshi is her son-in-law.
Over time, he and Grand Tutor Shen became in-laws, essentially in the same boat.
“Master, there’s no rush. Let’s take it one step at a time. With the son-in-law’s abilities, there’s probably nothing that can stump him,” Pei Lu said with a smile from the side.
“That’s true. Whether he comes or not, it doesn’t really concern us.” Yi Yun shook his head.
Now that he has such a fine son-in-law as Jia Daoshi, he's too lazy to think about all this nonsense anymore; he'll just live for the moment.
On the other side, Jia Daoshi had finally managed to break free from a group of senior experts and was just thinking about whether he should say something to express his feelings when a thunderous voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate of the cliff city!
"Grand Tutor Shen of the Great Jing Dynasty led an expedition to the North Sea, fought bitterly for ten years, and returned in triumph!"
"Passing through the Cliff City, I specially present my granddaughter Shen Li and grandson-in-law Jia Daoshi with ten thousand-year-old cold iron, a pair of ten-thousand-year-old fire corals from the North Sea, a pair of ten-thousand-year-old earth vein purple fungus from the North Sea, and a baby beast from the North Sea!"
quiet!
on site!
The entire city of Cliff City fell silent instantly!
This silence is the kind of silence where there is absolutely no sound!
Grand Tutor Shen!
An expedition to the North Sea!
Ten years of bitter struggle!
Triumph!
This sentence completely terrified everyone in the city of Juebi!
Grand Tutor Shen, who had been presumed dead in the North Sea, was actually still alive!
"Dangdang!"
The eldest prince, Wu Ce, was sitting alone in the main hall, leisurely drinking wine.
But upon hearing that sound, he smashed the wine jug in his hand to the ground!
Grand Tutor Shen is the only veteran who has served three emperors in the imperial court!
If we include Empress Ji Wuxin, she would be a veteran of four reigns!
He still remembered being beaten by this Grand Tutor Shen when he was a teenager.
Not long after, Grand Tutor Shen received an order from his father, the Emperor, to take the route through the grasslands and launch an expedition to the North Sea.
This decision caused great controversy in the court at the time, and all the court officials did not know why the late emperor had gone to such lengths to do this!
But Grand Tutor Shen still went without hesitation!
He took 100,000 elite troops with him back then.
But so what? Ten years passed without a word from him, and almost everyone thought he had died in battle!
The late emperor remained deeply troubled by this until his death!
But now, this Grand Tutor Shen has actually returned alive!
And it was a triumphant return!
This news is no less than the late emperor coming back to life!
"How did Grand Tutor Shen know about the great victory at Juebi City?"
"Granddaughter, Prince Zhenbei, Shen Li? Grand Tutor Shen is actually Shen Li's grandfather? No wonder Shen Li, a woman, is so powerful. Could this be due to bloodline inheritance?!"
"I don't know if it's a bloodline inheritance, but I do know that our Jatis has made a fortune again!"
