"To be honest with the Sheriff and the Sixth Prince, Feng'er once served as an elder in the Shushan Sword Sect. Although he has abdicated now, he still serves as an honorary elder in the Shushan Sword Sect!"
Chu Zhan smiled slightly and explained.
When he mentioned that Chu Feng had served as an elder in Shushan, his face clearly showed pride.
Thinking about it, his son can become an elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, which is the leader of the righteous path. This is something that makes him look good!
"What?"
"Chu Feng once served as an elder in the Shushan Sword Sect?"
Both Tang Chen and Chu Zheng changed their expressions after hearing Chu Zhan's words.
Although this news was not as exciting as the Jiujianxian killing the Demon Emperor, it still really surprised the two of them!
"Master Chu, this is no joke. Are you really sure that Chu Feng once served as an elder in the Shushan Sword Sect?"
Chu Zheng felt unbelievable.
The position of Shushan Elder is no small matter. According to his investigation, Chu Feng has only been a member of Shushan Sword Sect for five hundred years. Such qualifications are simply not enough to hold the position of Shushan Elder!
Tang Chen on the side also didn't believe it after being shocked.
Although his people's ability to spy on intelligence is not as good as Tang Yong's, they are not without merit.
As far as the information he knew so far, the former elders of the Shushan Sword Sect were Youxuan, Heyang, Jingming, Canggu, and Qingwei.
Later, because of Youxuan's rebellion, Ye Binning replaced Youxuan and became the new elder. No matter before or now, Chu Feng's name does not exist.
"Sixth Prince, Lord Sheriff, there is a Demon Locking Tower in the Shushan Sword Sect. You know this."
"Well, of course I know that."
"My son Chu Feng once served as the tower guarding elder in the Demon Locking Tower. Although he has now stepped down from the position of tower guarding elder, Master Taiqing recognized his merits in guarding the Demon Locking Tower and gave Chu Feng the title of honorary elder. The title and status in the Shushan Sword Sect are second only to Headmaster Taiqing and several other elders!"
Chu Zhan explained with a smile.
"So that's the case."
After listening to this, Tang Chen and Chu Zheng suddenly realized.
The elders guarding the Demon Locking Tower are not like other elders in Shushan who can move around the world. Therefore, information about the elders guarding the tower is rarely spread. It is normal for Tang Chen and Chu Zheng not to know.
"Master Chu, I really didn't expect that your son Chu Feng is so powerful. He actually served as the tower guard elder of the Shushan Sword Sect. Unlike me, I gave birth to several little bastards and hung out in the women's team every day. I don't know when I will die. It’s on the woman’s belly!”
There is no harm without comparison. When he mentioned his son, Chu Zheng had a look of hatred on his face.
The next moment, he made Chu Zhan a cup of tea with a smile on his face. This made Chu Zhan a little flattered. The governor of Dongjun made the tea himself. No one else in Dongjun had such treatment!
"Master Chu, Chu Feng can lead us to meet Master Taiqing in person, you are indispensable!"
"Chu Zheng, I think it is a bit unfair to let Mr. Chu serve as the deputy governor of East County?"
Tang Chen looked at Chu Zheng, thoughtfully.
Chu Zheng had been in the officialdom for many years and did not understand what Tang Chen meant. He immediately echoed: "Back to the Sixth Prince, it is indeed a dereliction of duty to let Mr. Chu serve as the deputy governor of East County. I feel that with Mr. Chu's talents, he should be able to do it." One step further up!”
After speaking, he deliberately showed a look of fear, which made people think that Chu Zheng had made a big mistake at first glance.
"Master Chu, your talents are enough to enter the Tang Dynasty Royal City or the royal palace to serve."
"It just so happens that there are now vacancies for the Commander of the Royal City and the Deputy Commander of the Ouchi. Which position do you like? Just ask!"
Tang Chen's face was full of smiles, showing his solicitation.
"ah?"
Chu Zhan had a look of surprise on his face.
Compared with the deputy governor of East County, whether he is the commander of the royal city or the deputy commander of Ouchi, the area he manages has become smaller, but his power has definitely become greater!
If the deputy governor of Dongjun manages the city lord and the people of Dongjun, then the commander of the royal city and the deputy commander of Ouchi manage all the civil and military officials, princes and princesses!
"Sixth Prince, I think the deputy governor of East County is suitable for me."
"If you are promoted too quickly, I'm afraid you will be criticized by the people in the court."
Chu Zhan shook his head and refused.
Although he is very moved, he currently feels that the deputy governor of East County is more suitable for him.
The royal city is the center of power, and the water in the court is definitely very deep. Don't be sure that you will be plotted by others and drown if you don't secure your position by then.
"Master Chu? Are you really not moved?"
Tang Chen continued to ask.
"Sixth Prince, I'd be lying if I said I'm not impressed, but I know my abilities. It's okay to assist Lord Chu in managing Dongjun. But if I want to manage the royal city or palace, I'm afraid I'll be a little stretched."
Chu Zhan told the truth.
"Master Chu is also thoughtful. After my prince's position is more stable, he will transfer Master Chu to the royal city or palace."
Although Tang Chen no longer forced Chu Zhan to work in the royal city and palace, he still had to give the promise he had to give, otherwise how could he better win over Chu Zhan and Chu Feng behind him.
I've worked so hard to win over you, I think your Chu Feng's heart must be towards me after all.
"Thank you, Sixth Prince."
Chu Zhan thanked him.
He knew that Tang Chen attracted him so much not because he was really talented, but because he took a fancy to his son Chu Feng's status in the Shushan Sword Sect.
"Hey, others are fighting for their father, but I am fighting for my son."
Chu Zhan sighed in his heart. Although this feeling was not good, thinking about it, it was still quite refreshing.
At this time, in addition to the Tang Dynasty sending envoys to the Shushan Sword Sect, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Regions and other imperial powers also sent envoys to the Shushan Sword Sect.
Half a month later.
Shushan Sword Sect.
A group of people slowly appeared outside the Shushan Sword Sect. They were not the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty. They set off earlier than the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally they arrived at the Shushan Sword Sect earlier.
"Who are you?"
Just when the Southern Song Dynasty envoys stopped, a Shushan disciple came up and asked.
Regarding the fact that a delegation of envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty came to the Shushan Sword Sect, the senior officials of the Shushan Sword Sect knew about it, but the Shushan disciples guarding the gate did not know.
"Hello, Shushan disciples, we are an envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty. We are here to visit the Shushan Sword Sect. Please report."
Among the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an old man whose strength was at the Nascent Soul level. He cupped his fists and smiled at the Shushan disciples.
"Southern Song Dynasty Mission?"
"You guys just wait, I'll go and report it!"
A Shushan disciple glanced at the old man and said casually.
"Thank you very much. This is a thoughtful gesture from our Southern Song Dynasty mission."
The Nascent Soul Realm old man turned over his hands and took out several bottles of elixirs and gave them to the Shushan disciples.
The Shushan disciples looked at each other and accepted the elixir without leaving any trace.
While the Southern Song Dynasty mission was waiting, another mission appeared outside the Shushan Sword Sect. This time, it was not the Tang Dynasty mission, but the Western Region mission.
"I have seen the Shushan disciples. We are the envoy from the Western Regions. Please report them."
"I know, you wait outside!"
Shushan disciples said impatiently.
When the Heavenly Demon Emperor attacked the Shushan Sword Sect, he asked you for help, but you refused to send anyone because you had something to do.
And when the Shushan Wine Sword Immortal killed the Heavenly Demon Queen, you all came here to lick the Shushan Sword Sect like grass on the wall. Are you embarrassed?
"Okay, these are some specialties from our Western Region, please accept them."
An envoy from the Western Regions Mission handed over some good medicinal materials to Shushan disciples, and Shushan disciples accepted all of them without hesitation.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty mission also followed closely.
Just when Tang Chen, Chu Zheng, and Chu Zhan dismounted, a Shushan disciple ran over and asked with a smile: "Are you the Tang Dynasty envoy?"
"Yes, please report it."
Tang Chen smiled slightly.
Although Chu Zhan said on the way here that all he had to do was contact Chu Feng, but out of politeness, Tang Chen decided to let the Shushan disciples report it.
"No need to report!"
"Elder Chu has given instructions before. When your Tang Dynasty envoy arrives, he will take you in directly!"
The Shushan disciples smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
"oh?"
"Thank you very much!"
Tang Chen smiled slightly, and then winked at Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng understood, took out some pills from his arms, handed them to the Shushan disciples, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, this is a little thought from us."
When the Shushan disciples saw this, they quickly shook their heads and said, "You are too polite, we Shushan disciples do not accept gifts!"
