Even after receiving such praise from Li Qiye, Zhang Jiadi still knelt down, kneeling there with his head lowered.
"Why, have you really decided?" Li Qiye looked at Zhang Jiadi, smiled and said.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent. If I stay with Your Majesty, I can't achieve half an inch of merit. I still hope that Your Majesty will do it." Zhang Jiadi knelt there and spoke firmly. It seemed that he had really made up his mind.
Li Qiye looked at Zhang Jiadi, nodded, and said: "That's fine, since you want to resign and retire, I won't force you, so I'll let you go. You can retire wherever you want."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness -" After hearing Li Qiye's permission, Zhang Jiadi fell to the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Qiye respectfully, meticulously and seriously.
"Go ahead, I won't embarrass you." Seeing Zhang Jiadi's appearance, Li Qiye waved his hand gently and said, "If you like any treasure in the palace, just take it away."
"Your Majesty is so kind to me. I am so grateful that you are so grateful. Your Majesty has treated me so kindly. This kindness is priceless and I am enough for you." Zhang Jiadi said respectfully to Li Qiye.
"That's fine, it's up to you." Li Qiye nodded gently and approved Zhang Jiadi's resignation.
"Your Majesty, take this very seriously." Zhang Jiadi bowed again, respectfully and sincerely.
Logically speaking, Zhang Jiadi should stay today. After all, he has always been a loyal minister to Li Qiye and has always been loyal to Li Qiye. Now that the new emperor is the only one in the world, if Zhang Jiadi stays, he will rise to the top and be promoted to a higher position. However, at this juncture, Zhang Jiadi resigned and returned to his hometown.
Missing such a great opportunity seemed unbelievable to many people. However, only Li Qiye was not surprised. Seeing that Zhang Jiadi had already decided to leave, he did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Take care of it." Li Qiye nodded to Zhang Jiadi and said nothing more.
After Zhang Jiadi bowed again, he got up and left. However, when Zhang Jiadi walked to the door, he stopped again and turned around.
"What else do you have to say?" Seeing Zhang Jiadi stop, Li Qiye said with a faint smile.
Zhang Jiadi opened his mouth to speak, but there were some words that he couldn't say, and he had some scruples and didn't know how to say them.
"Your Majesty, when I fled, I saw the Silver Secret Legion. They stayed outside the Taoist tradition. I don't know whether they are still there today." The words rolled through Zhang Jiadi's throat several times. , Zhang Jiadi finally said this.
"Silver Secret Army." Li Qiye smiled casually and said: "This past event is a bit old, I almost can't remember it. Let it go, whether it is Silver Secret Army or Golden Secret Army, they are not worth mentioning. ." Hearing Li Qiye's words, Zhang Jiadi opened his mouth to speak, but some words were stuck in his throat and could not be said. In the end, he could only say softly: "Please be careful, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's safety is related to the entire Jiujiang. The rise and fall of the Secret Taoism is related to the well-being of the Nine Secret Taoism."
"So, you know something." Li Qiye was not surprised. He sat there and said with a faint smile.
Zhang Jiadi opened his mouth to speak, but after speaking for a long time, he couldn't say a word because there were some words he couldn't say. As Li Qiye said, he was a loyal person.
"Your Majesty, be careful, or there may be some non-existent people, which will always surprise people." Finally, Zhang Jiadi said softly: "Maybe, if you turn around, the dead person will be behind you."
"I understand." Li Qiye nodded and said slowly: "I won't embarrass you, just go ahead."
"Treasure it." Zhang Jiadi sighed softly at the end. Often there were many things that he was powerless to do. There was only so much he could do. Although there were some things that he wanted to reveal, he was a loyal person. A stubborn person.
At this time, Zhang Jiadi bowed again and left.
After Zhang Jiadi left, he just smiled faintly and looked outside without saying anything.
Just when Li Qiye returned to the palace, in another place in the imperial lineage, the Mu family was also one of the three giants of the Nine Secrets lineage.
In an important place of the Mu family, an extremely powerful ancestor of the Mu family welcomed a very rare guest.
"I was just curious. When I woke up early this morning, magpies were chirping on the branches." When the ancestor saw the visitor, he said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Brother Sun. I didn't know who he was. What kind of strong wind brought Brother Sun to my place is really surprising."
"Brother Mu, you're welcome." The person who came was none other than Sun Lengying, who had retired to his hometown in the Nine Secrets Taoist Order. At this time, Sun Lengying was still wearing gray clothes and still looked like a shadow.
"Emperor Taiqing passed away, and our Mu family is very sad." The ancestor of the Mu family sighed and said: "Although you and I are at odds, Emperor Taiqing was an unparalleled figure of his generation, and his actions are admirable. It's a pity. , due to various reasons, I was unable to go to Jiu Secret Taoism in person to mourn."
"Brother Mu has a heart, and your Majesty will be grateful if he knows something underground." Sun Lengying was still indifferent, as if she couldn't see his expression or his thoughts.
"That day, when I heard that Emperor Taiqing passed away, I thought that Emperor Taiqing would pass on his power to you. After all, Brother Sun also followed Emperor Taiqing III and fought in the world. He made great contributions. Only Brother Sun can afford this. Such an important task." The ancestor of the Mu family said slowly.
"...I never thought that Emperor Taiqing would pass on the power of the throne to an unknown junior. It is really regrettable and feels unfair to Brother Sun. Emperor Taiqing is also confused." At this point, he was Too much to boo.
"Thank you, Brother Sun, for fighting the injustice." Sun Lengying was still so indifferent, and he said slowly: "It's okay not to mention the past. Today, Sun came here and asked Brother Mu for some help."
"Brother Sun is one of the best immortal true gods today. He is so good that even an old man would be ashamed of himself." The ancestor of the Mu family said with a smile: "What's more, Brother Sun holds the silver secret army, which can sweep through nine days and ten countries." The land is invincible and unbeatable. As an old man like me, I'm afraid I can't be of much help to Brother Sun."
"Brother Mu, don't refuse in a hurry." Sun Lengying said calmly: "I won't let the Mu family help an outsider in vain, and the Mu family won't help an outsider in vain, right."
"Brother Sun's action must be extraordinary." The ancestor of the Mu family said slowly: "But, I believe that Brother Sun's matter is not that easy. If Brother Sun can't handle it, I'm afraid we are also powerless."
"Really?" Sun Lengying glanced at the ancestor of the Mu family and said calmly: "The entire Nine Secrets of Daoism is right in front of your eyes. Isn't Brother Mu moved?"
"Brother Sun is joking." The ancestor of the Mu family said with a smile: "Although I didn't take a walk outside, but as far as I know, I heard that the Silver Secret Army has blocked the outer domain of the Nine Secrets Dao Lineage. If outsiders want to go in, then It’s a very difficult thing.”
"Am I not sitting in front of Brother Mu now? Am I not a guest of the Mu family?" Sun Lengying said lightly.
"Brother Sun's words are interesting." The ancestor of the Mu family couldn't help but smile and said: "However, as far as I know, Brother Sun has always been loyal to Emperor Taiqing. I believe that no one doubts this, and there is no need to doubt it. If Brother Sun wants to have any thoughts about the Nine Secrets Dao Tradition, I’m afraid it will be difficult for people to believe him.”
"Sun is indeed loyal to His Majesty." Sun Lengying said calmly: "It's just that His Majesty has passed away, so what else can people miss about the Nine Secrets Tradition?"
Speaking of this, Sun Lengying glanced at the ancestor of the Mu family and said slowly: "Sun believes that Brother Mu will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Brother Mu overthrows the Nine Secrets Dao Tradition, I believe that the female Brother Mu will Not only will his name go down in history, but he will also be able to honor his ancestors and be listed among the sages of the Mu family."
"Brother Sun's words are indeed tempting." The ancestor of the Mu family looked at Sun Lengying for a while, smiled, shook his head, and said: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
Speaking of this, the ancestor of the Mu family looked at Sun Lengying and said: "Although the outer domain of the Nine Secrets Tradition has been blocked, I just received news that the new emperor of the Nine Secrets Tradition is already dominating the world. He has already killed supreme ancestors like Douzhan Emperor and Bingchi Juezun."
Having said this, the ancestor of the Mu family paused for a moment. He shook his head gently and said, "So, I think there is no need for us in the Mu family to stir up such troubled waters. Since Emperor Taiqing will pass the throne to him , that shows that this young man has something extraordinary.”
"I don't deny it." Sun Lengying said lightly: "The new emperor's strength is indeed beyond my expectation. He did kill Bingchi Juezun, Douzhan Huang and others, which I did not expect."
"So, there is nothing we can do to help." The ancestor of the Mu family said: "We know in our hearts that the Dou Zhan Emperor and Bing Chi Jue Zun are so powerful that even if the old man lets go and fights, he will be tied with the Dou Zhan Emperor. If he is heroic, he is only a little stronger, so the power of the new emperor of the Nine Secrets Dao Tradition is beyond everyone’s estimation, and our Mu family has no need to establish such a strong enemy.”
Having said this, the ancestor of the Mu family paused, looked at Sun Lengying, shook his head gently, and said: "We can only be very sorry that we were unable to help Brother Sun. Brother Sun is loyal to the Nine Secrets Tradition. Brother Sun has made incomparable achievements for the Nine Secrets Dao Tradition, but we feel unfair in our hearts that Brother Sun has been treated so unfairly."
"I appreciate Brother Mu's wishes." Sun Lengying smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Mu is still afraid and dare not let go. When he faced the Taiqing Emperor back then, Brother Mu was also hesitant. Today, The same is true, Brother Mu’s indecisiveness caused him to miss many great opportunities.”
"Brother Sun, I'm afraid that such a provoking method will have no effect on me. After all, I am no longer a young man. I am always excited when I hear excitement. Brother Sun, please come back." The ancestor of the Mu family smiled. Shaked his head.
