"Hehehe, I didn't expect that the Divine Marquis would live in seclusion in Jinling for three years.”
Early the next morning, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes came to visit Junyue. As the first capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jinling was naturally guarded by a high-ranking prince. Of course, the power had been secretly taken away. At least the Battle of Jingnan was the best warning.
There were too many kings who coveted the throne in the past dynasties. Nine out of ten kings who had power in the court would definitely rebel, so there were not many kings who really held power.
Prince Zhou was also one of the princes who rebelled with Zhu Di. Zhu Yunwen cut off the rebellion, so Prince Zhou and the others had no choice but to follow Zhu Di's rebellion to protect themselves.
However, the promises made to them after Zhu Di ascended the throne were also not fulfilled. Zhou Wang's grandfather and several other princes were removed from their military power. On the surface, they were guarding one side, but in the dark, they were just idlers.
Zhou Wang heard that the people of the East Chamber had come to invite Marquis Shenwu to the capital to meet the emperor. He had been here for many years and did not know when there was an additional Marquis here. Naturally, he came to express his condolences.
Other than the Nobles that had been passed down, it was unrealistic to be conferred the title of King or Marquis. He was naturally curious.
When he saw Jun Yue, Zhou Wang was surprised. He was too young. Three years had passed, but Jun Yue didn't look old at all. He looked like he was 24 or 25 years old, one or two years younger than before. With his black hair, Zhou Wang thought of Huo Qubing, a young marquis.
"Prince Zhou!"
One was a prince, and the other was an unworthy duke. But when Jun Yue saw that Green Bamboo Elder only nodded his head, Zhou Wang frowned.
What arrogance!
In Zhou Wang's eyes, Jun Yue was just like the emperor's favorite courtier who was arrogant and didn't put him in his eyes.
"Godfather!"
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded. Zhou Wang was surprised to see the women slowly walking over. One of them was actually a foster daughter he had taken in before.
On the surface, the Salt Gang was a salt merchant, but in secret, they were the largest force in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basin. The reason why Yan Yan was able to get along well with the officials was that she was taken care of by Zhou Wang in the beginning.
However, because of the relationship between them, not many people knew about their relationship. After all, the influence of the Salt Gang over the years was not small. If people knew that it was Zhou Wang who supported them from behind, hehehe, the emperor of Ming Dynasty would not think that this was just a favor. Under suspicion, kinship would break like a bubble.
"Yan-er, why are you here?"
"Godfather, this is my husband, the famous Noble Sword!”
"Jianghu people?"
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Zhou Wang looked at Jun Yue in surprise. He suddenly thought of a Marquis Shenwu who was conferred by the Ming Emperor a few years ago.
At that time, many people objected to him being conferred the title of Marquis with his identity in the pugilistic world. Unfortunately, Emperor Daming had already made up his mind, so the decree was issued!
However, to everyone's surprise, Marquis Shenwu completely ignored the imperial court and said that he had retired and disappeared into the vast sea of people. He had let this matter go just like that. He had never thought that Marquis Shen Wu would actually appear here.
Looking at Jun Yue, the legendary Marquis Shenwu was a little older than him and was a strange person in the mountains. Therefore, he disdained such fame and wealth. But the young man in front of him…
"Marquis Shenwu? Little Yan 'er, you're not joking, are you? Isn't Marquis Shenwu an extraordinary person who roams the mountains?”
"Godfather, my husband is the extraordinary person you mentioned. However, he is very young because of his cultivation. He is one year older than you!”
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Zhou Wang looked at Jun Yue in surprise. If this was true, then he would be a real " strange " person.
Looking at Jun Yue, Zhou Wang's eyes were full of doubt, but Jun Yue nodded and said,
"Since you're Yan 'er's foster father, then please come in!”
Seeing Jun Yue's casual look, Zhou Wang also curiously entered the hall. Jun Yue and Zhou Wang sat opposite each other, and the four maids quickly served the newly picked tea leaves.
"Since the Divine Marquis is living in seclusion in Jinling, why didn't Yan 'er tell me? Furthermore, you didn't even invite me, your foster father, for a drink?”
At this time, Zhou Wang had already confirmed Jun Yue's identity. After all, Yan Yan had no need to lie. Most importantly, Jun Yue's indifferent expression was absolutely not fake.
"After all, Yan 'er isn't officially married to me, and my identity shouldn't be exposed. Your Highness should know that I'm a reclusive cultivator, so we don't want to trouble others.”
"Hehehe, it was this king's negligence. The sudden disappearance of the Divine Marquis back then shook the entire court. However, His Majesty had personally decreed that the Divine Marquis should go and meet the Emperor. He wondered if the Divine Marquis planned to move to Beiping or stay here.”
"I plan to go to the imperial capital alone. As for my family, a few women can take care of them!”
Zhou Wang looked at Jun Yue. He didn't expect Jun Yue to be so arrogant, leaving only a few women behind. Once Jun Yue was exposed, many people would come looking for him, and the women might become their targets.
"Divine Marquis, don't worry and go. Yan 'er is my adopted daughter after all. I will arrange for someone to take care of their safety.”
He looked at Jun Yue. If Jun Yue was really an otherworldly expert, he would definitely be worthy of his friendship.
"Many thanks for your highness 'good intentions, but there is no need for your highness to worry. There are still many experts in this villa.”
Following Jun Yue's words, the Green Bamboo Elder went forward to pour tea. The Green Bamboo Elder held the teapot in his hand and threw it high into the air. The teapot spun in the air and the tea spilled out.
The spilled tea did not fall in all directions, but it just happened to fall into two cups. Just as the teapot was about to fall on the table, it was caught by a withered hand and slowly placed on the table.
Looking at the Green Bamboo Elder who slowly retreated and respectfully stood at the side, Zhou Wang only reacted after a long time.
"Good Kung Fu!"
With just this move, Zhou Wang looked at Green Bamboo Elder with respect. He didn't expect that this old man who looked like he was about to die was actually a hidden master. At least, who would have thought that an old man who was guarding the door would have such high strength.
In Zhou Wang's eyes, Jun Yue's reliance was the Green Bamboo Elder, but the Green Bamboo Elder was just an outdated first-class expert. Because of his age, it was already good enough for him to be able to display 50% of his strength. The attack just now was also controlled very well because of his old age.
With Green Bamboo Elder's true strength, he could easily take care of any of the maidservants of the quadruplets.
However, this move also shocked Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang understood that the old man in front of him was much stronger than his guards. Even the so-called masters of the Prince's mansion were just some third-rate people who had a rough understanding of martial arts.
Jun Yue waved his hand and a palm-sized jade box appeared on the table. He said,"
"Prince Zhou, these are the pills I refined in seclusion over the years. I can see that your face is a little sallow. You must have drunk too much and injured your liver. This is the Nine Spirits Essence Cultivating Pill. Take one pill a day.”
Jun Yue had been studying medicine all these years, and three out of ten people in Prince Zhou's condition had this kind of hidden disease. This pill had a miraculous effect. Three pills had an effect, and it could also strengthen the foundation and protect the internal organs.
Of course, this pill was not simple. It could be considered a life-saving pill in the martial arts world.
"Oh, thank you Divine Marquis!"
Zhou Wang was naturally aware of his own situation, but wine was a man's courage. Nine out of ten men loved wine, so it was impossible to quit. Therefore, even if he knew that his hidden illness had not been cured over the years.
He didn't expect Jun Yue to have such a spirit pill. Of course, he was also skeptical. After all, most of the time, the art of alchemy was related to deception.
"Godfather, my husband's study of alchemy isn't something like lead, mercury, sulfur, or anything like that. It's a combination of medicine and ancient alchemy techniques. These pills are all made from medicinal herbs to nourish the vital energy. There's no realgar or anything like that. After we gave birth, we ate one and quickly recovered.”
Yan Yan saw Zhou Wang's doubt and worry and quickly explained.
Since Jun Yue was going to be an official, Yan Yan, as his wife, naturally had to help Jun Yue spread his network. Prince Zhou was a good network.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Zhou Wang suddenly looked at the pill in front of him curiously. If Yan Yan wasn't lying, this was a panacea.
