After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 629 It seems that I came at the wrong time

"This matter can be discussed later."

Jiang Che waved his hands and said.

Queen Xue couldn't help laughing. From the days she had been in contact with Jiang Che, she had already seen that Jiang Che had a certain personality. Like her, he also liked to pursue excitement.

She dared to bet that if the situation had been decided by then, Jiang Che would definitely expose her.

"By the way, where is Marshal Xue? I want to meet him. Do you want to come with me?"

"You want to see the ancestor?"

Xue Bai'er was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came back to her senses. After all, she had expressed the Xue family's attitude in the previous letter, so it was not surprising that Jiang Che had such an idea.

After all, Xue Pingzu is now an important figure. Not only does he possess the cultivation of a Martial Saint, he also controls the entire capital's 100,000 imperial guards and various formations within the capital.

Together with another Marshal Chen from Tianyuan, one inside and one outside, they guard the entire Zhongzhou.

If they could be won over, not only would a major war be avoided, but also 300,000 elite Tianyuan soldiers and more than 100,000 elite Beijing imperial guards could be obtained without bloodshed.

It can maximize the foundation of the new dynasty.

At the same time, it can also influence Tianyuan City which is far away overseas.

"Would your Majesty be willing to lead the way?"

Jiang Che asked with a smile.

"You are my man, of course I won't refuse." Queen Xue showed a beautiful smile.

Capital city, Xue Mansion.

As a genuine martial saint, Xue Pingzu's status is higher than it actually is. After all, the current imperial court is weak, and is being attacked from both the north and the south.

This is the time when you need to rely on the strong the most, and as a royal relative, Xue Pingzu will naturally be strongly wooed by Ji Wenhao. For example, now, 90% of the military power of the entire capital is in his hands.

The power he holds can even make Ji Wenhao extremely tolerant of him, just like Ji Changsheng before, if Ji Wenhao was not concerned about Xue Pingzu.

Ji Changsheng couldn't even leave the capital, let alone leave Zhongzhou.

However, Xue Pingzu was not a domineering person. Especially after he learned that Xue Bai'er was secretly having an affair with Jiang Che, he became even more trembling with fear and did not dare to be careless at all.

He was afraid that the truth would be revealed one day and bring disaster to the Xue family.

But as the saying goes, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If it were an ordinary time, he would have rebuked Xue Bai'er mercilessly and warned her not to collude with outsiders, but the court was now in turmoil.

The deaths of the Godly King Ji Chengdao and Master Wen dealt a heavy blow to the imperial court. On the other hand, the strength of the rebel Jiang Che was growing rapidly.

Nowadays, he has captured three states in the southern region, seized half of the imperial court, and gathered the support of several major forces. Even the immortal gates can't do anything to him.

With such a momentum, Xue Pingzu had to think twice.

In fact, he did so. In order to prevent the Xue family from being wiped out in the chaotic world, he reluctantly acquiesced in the affair between Xue Bai'er and Jiang Che, and even used his connections to send Ji Changsheng away from Zhongzhou.

I just hope to leave a good relationship for the Xue family in the future.

This day.

The weather is calm and sunny.

The Empress, who had lived in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, once again returned to her nominal parents' home, and was welcomed with great ceremony by the Xue family. However, Empress Xue did not talk to the other ladies, but directly stated that she wanted to see Old Ancestor Xue.

Soon, Xue Pingzu, who was practicing in the secret room, learned about this. He frowned, feeling that there was nothing good about Xue Bai'er's coming. But no matter what, she was also the queen.

Even though he is the ancestor, he is also a subject and would not dare to overstep his authority blatantly.

He immediately left the customs and went to the main hall.

Sitting at the head, he glanced at Xue Bai'er, and General Xue dismissed his attendants, saying calmly:

"What are you here for?"

"Grandfather, there is no need to be angry. You and I both know who the Xue family is supporting now. Why do you have to put on such an attitude?" Queen Xue seemed to have something to rely on, and her expression was very calm.

"I am only concerned about the Xue family and want to leave a good relationship. It is better for you to say less such things. If outsiders hear them, the entire Xue family will be dragged down by you."

In private, Xue Pingzu did not treat the queen who had ruined the reputation of the Xue family well.

The smile on Queen Xue's face grew more intense, and after a few breaths she said:

"I am here because someone wants to see you and asked me to go there."

"Who?"

Xue Pingzu was stunned for a moment.

"King Wu, Jiang Che."

Queen Xue slowly uttered a few bytes.

"Jiang Che?!"

Xue Pingzu's eyes suddenly froze, and he was a little shocked.

"good."

"Why did he ask you to come see me?"

Xue Pingzu's face was gloomy and he vaguely guessed Jiang Che's purpose.

"He didn't ask me to come to see the ancestor, but he came to see the ancestor himself."

"In person? Where is he?"

Xue Pingzu frowned slightly and looked around with some doubt, but did not find anything wrong. At the same time, he was a little unsure. Could it be that Jiang Che was really that brave?

Can you just treat the entire capital city as nothing and come and go as you please?

"Xue Shuai, long time no see."

As soon as Xue Pingzu finished speaking, a casual voice emerged. Beside Queen Xue, faint ripples appeared in the air, and Jiang Che's figure gradually turned from illusion to reality.

A familiar face, with a smile on his face, appeared in front of him. To be honest, Xue Pingzu was extremely shocked at the moment, because he did not sense Jiang Che's presence at all.

He even covered the place with a domain in case someone spied on him, but in the end, he still didn't notice anything unusual, and his heart sank immediately.

He originally thought that people in the martial arts world were exaggerating about Jiang Che's strength being among the top three in the world. After all, only half a year had passed since he last saw Jiang Che.

At that time, Jiang Che was still just a grandmaster of divine physiognomy. Although he was shocked by his rapid growth and rapid improvement in strength, in fact, he did not have a deep understanding of it.

But at this moment, he finally understood how powerful Jiang Che was now.

Far surpass him!
The rumors in the world are not false!

"You are getting bolder and bolder." Xue Pingzu looked at Jiang Che with some complicated feelings. First, he had an affair with the queen, and then sneaked into the important place of the capital. Such behavior is not something that everyone dares to do. Even when he looked at Jiang Che's familiar face at this moment, he felt a little strange, as if he was in another world.

There is also a kind of self-deprecating feeling that one has lived like a dog for hundreds of years.

People are more mad than people.

"It's just the capital. It's not the first time I've been here. Why are you so surprised, Marshal?"

Jiang Che smiled lightly.

"Why do you risk coming to see me?"

Xue Pingzu asked in a deep voice.

"In fact, the Marshal should know better than me why Jiang came here. I came here just to ask the Marshal whether you hope that the Xue family will live forever or perish with the country."

Although Empress Xue expressed some of Xue Pingzu's thoughts in the letter, he still wanted to ask a real question.

"You are quite confident."

Xue Pingzu looked at Jiang Che with a complicated look in his eyes.

Of course he knew why Jiang Che came here. Now he controlled 90% of the military power in the entire capital. If he turned against the court, it would not only weaken the court's strength, but also bring the court's prestige to its lowest point.

At the same time, he could use the Xue family as an opportunity to persuade General Chen, who was stationed at the border of Zhongzhou, to surrender, and even influence the other two generals in Tianyuan City.

"If I didn't have some confidence, Jiang would not have annexed the three states in the southern region and attempted to unify the Central Plains."

The smile on Jiang Che's face remained unchanged, with an invisible confidence.

"Tell me honestly, how strong are you? Can you really ignore the strong men in the capital?" Xue Pingzu was still hesitant.

His emotion told him that if he betrayed the court, the Xue family would be cursed for thousands of years, but his reason also told him that if he did not betray the court, the Xue family might be buried along with the court.

"seeing is believing."

Jiang Che waved his hand, and a clear image emerged in the void, which was exactly the battle of Yuezhou that day.

Looking at the content emerging in the image, Marshal Xue's pupils shrank, his knuckles tightly grasped the handrail beside him, and his heart was inexplicably shaken, because what was revealed in the image was the death of the Heaven-Devouring Immortal of the Witch God Temple.

He was beaten to pieces by Jiang Che.

There is also a scene where Master Wen was severely injured.

At this moment, he felt inexplicably shocked and regretful.

To be fair, Master Wen was really good to him and Xue, and he was also in awe of Master Wen. Seeing Master Wen's death, he was deeply touched.

First, it’s a pity, and second, I’m shocked by the strength displayed by Jiang Che.

It is simply beyond the reach of human immortals!
He even put himself in the situation's shoes, but the conclusion he came to made him extremely depressed, because if he fought against Jiang Che with his strength, he would have no chance of survival.

Even the war will end in a very short time.

"When are you going to start?"

Xue Pingzu was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and finally chose to side with Jiang Che. At this moment, he seemed to have a choice, but in fact he could only support Jiang Che.

Otherwise, he had no doubt that this former junior would kill him.

Nowadays, the status between the two sides has undergone a drastic change.

"This matter is still under discussion. When we start, we will inform General Xue. In addition, Jiang will not let General Xue take action, so as to avoid being scolded by everyone. General Xue only needs to control the imperial guards and keep them still.

At the same time, no large formations within the capital are allowed to be mobilized, and they must even be deliberately destroyed. After the overall situation is settled, General Xue will persuade General Chen. This is the purpose of Jiang's trip.

After the matter is completed, the Xue family's treatment will remain unchanged, and they will still be royal relatives."

Jiang Che held Empress Xue's hand and looked directly at Xue Pingzu.

Xue Pingzu glanced at the two men's hands and slowly exhaled:
"As expected, heroes emerge in troubled times. Let's do as you say."

He was undoubtedly relieved that he didn't have to take any action. He didn't want to be credited as a follower of the emperor, but he also didn't want to blatantly betray the court. Jiang Che's actions made him feel much better.

At the same time, he also vaguely guessed some of Jiang Che's plans.

He must be preparing to decide the outcome of a battle in the capital, and then sweep away all the chaos.

After finishing the conversation with Xue Pingzu, Jiang Che refused to be a guest at Xue's house, concealed himself and Queen Xue, and walked openly on the streets of the capital.

There is no doubt that Jiang Che is somewhat unscrupulous at this moment.

Since the Emperor's Sword ignored him, his whereabouts would not be detected unless a human immortal was nearby, and Queen Xue also enjoyed this kind of open walk with Jiang Che.

Holding Jiang Che's hand tightly, he looked left and right, as if he had returned to his youth.
"I'll need you to do something for me in a few days."

Jiang Che said suddenly.

"You said."

Queen Xue nodded without any intention of refusing.

"Come with me into the imperial city. I'm going to get a treasure from the imperial study." Jiang Che knew that once the Wanling Blood Soul was about to be refined, Ji Wenhao would definitely not leave his side.

This is also his best chance. Of course, Jiang Che doesn't have to take any risks. After killing Ji Wenhao, Youhuang Mingmu won't be able to escape, but one has to be prepared for anything.

He still had the habit of holding it in his hands in advance.

"it is good."

Queen Xue nodded in agreement without even asking Jiang Che what he wanted to take. For her, the fact that Jiang Che took the trouble to accompany her around the capital was enough to satisfy her.

"Um"

Jiang Che nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly raised his brows and saw the National Master Yao Yue in front of him with a solemn expression. The two looked at each other and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Queen Xue also saw Yao Yue. The two of them stared at each other for a moment. She took Jiang Che's arm without any hesitation and smiled at Yao Yue, seemingly with some provocation.

She had already asked Jiang Che some questions before, so she naturally knew that Yao Yue was now committed to Jiang Che. She was indeed a little uncomfortable about this, but there was nothing she could do about it.

He could only demonstrate his position in Jiang Che's heart.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Yao Yue said calmly, with no emotion to be seen.

After she finished her own business, she did not wander around the capital, waiting for Jiang Che to appear. As a result, she happened to sense a trace of Jiang Che's breath and thus broke into the other party's territory.

Then, I saw this scene.

"Yaoyue, you've come at the right time. How about serving Jiang Che with me?" Queen Xue held her head high and made an invitation to a team battle that the other party could never accept.
