Yuanding Imperial City, Royal Palace.
After Yang Sheng finished processing the last document of the day, he turned to look at the moon hanging high outside the window. Counting the time, it's almost Hai hour. This time is still "early" for him. At this time yesterday, he was still busy.
"Your Majesty, would you like some noodle soup?"
"Well, bring it up." Yang Sheng ordered without looking back. He has the habit of having a late-night snack after finishing his work at night. Clear noodle soup is his most common and favorite late-night snack.
In a short time, a small table and a bowl of delicious noodle soup were in front of Yang Sheng, with an eunuch waiting on them.
"Have you found any precedent for the kind of thing Qing Ling mentioned two days ago?" Yang Sheng blew on the noodles, picked up one and tested the temperature. He felt it was a little hot, so he took a moment to ask.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have checked all the relevant documents in the royal family and found no similar records. Yesterday I consulted with the Yuanding Military Academy and I hope to check again through their caliber. As soon as possible. The final result will not be available until five days.”
nodded. The Nanyuan Kingdom was split from the Qiande Dynasty, and the things that succeeded the Qiande Dynasty were half-divided from the Beiwu Dynasty. It is inevitable that there will be many shortcomings. But even though there was no conclusive news, Yang Sheng had actually expected it from the beginning.
"A piece of paper, burned and then subdued with strong wine, will have great power beyond the limit. The consequence will be a loss of mobility for a short period of time, and it will take more than ten days to cultivate. This thing is simply out of the scope of our cognition .
Just like the "Medicine for Refining Skin and Flesh". The people at the Royal Hospital took the dregs of the medicine and tried it over and over again, but all failed without exception. Can't even touch the edge.
A confession note came from the Imperial Hospital. But I know it's not their fault. The medicinal properties of those medicinal materials are conflicting and inconsistent with pharmacology. But Zhang Yan was able to mix it to produce magical effects, and there must be another reason for it. For example, those densely packed symbols on the bathtubs.
It’s just that we don’t understand it, so we can’t see the clues.
It seems that it has a lot in common with the pieces of paper that Qing Ling said were burned to ashes and swallowed with wine. "
It's like talking to oneself, but also like explaining to others. After talking for a while, Yang Sheng started to talk. He finished the small bowl of noodles quickly and drank the noodle soup completely.
"Little Thirteen's recent narrations are also very interesting. I heard that many people in the royal family are very busy. They can't study the knowledge imparted by Zhang Yan, and they can't figure out whether the stories Zhang Yan told are obscure or not. .
Haha, what do you think? What kind of person is Zhang Yan? "
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. But I feel that Zhang Yan seems to be unusual in everything. Especially the various methods, as if they came out of nowhere, with no trace of anything related beforehand."
Yang Sheng opened the door and went to the small garden behind the study. The eunuch kept bending down and followed behind.
"There is also an echo from the Special Cases Division. We got the bone-strengthening pill and the bell that can trap the spirit clan that we found in the hands of the demon species before. It seems that we want a lot from that Zhang Yan.
You are in charge of the Special Cases Division, and you know these best. What are you going to do with that Zhang Yan? Yang Sheng said and stopped, turning to look at the eunuch following behind him.
"Reply to Your Majesty. The message sent back by Special Case Division Shen Wujiu was extremely horrifying. According to what he saw, Zhang Yan's methods of dealing with the Spirit Tribe were far more terrifying than the killing methods he showed in Langyuan City. In addition, The kind of bell that was taken out at the back. It seems that there is some way to increase one's strength through the spirit clan."
"Huh?! Are you sure?" Yang Sheng interrupted the other person's words, feeling a little surprised. This seemed to be another judgment beyond his cognition.
"The slave is also speculating, and I dare not make a conclusion. However, based on the analysis of Zhang Yan's life in recent years, it is difficult to rule out the slave's guess."
"Tell me more details."
"It's your Majesty. Zhang Yan was involved in a murder case three years ago and almost had to be executed. As a result, he was lucky enough to find that Yubei Mountain Fortress was in urgent need of criminal soldiers. So he was able to avoid death for the time being and traveled all the way to Chonglan County. After that, he started to throw away his troops. He developed abilities that were completely unrelated to his original life experience. Whether it was the Kongming Lantern or the Bagua Formation, these were the reasons why he gained credit for his achievements at that time and was eventually exonerated.
Now that I think about it, the names of Kongming Lantern and Bagua Array still follow Zhang Yan's current style, which makes people feel weird.
During the time he was in Yubei Mountain, he could be said to have experienced several lives and deaths. The strength is a little stronger than ordinary people, but far from being comparable to warriors. After that, Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City and never showed any killing methods again. Until a few months ago at the auction house, he directly killed two Hundred Refining Realm masters.
How could ordinary means turn an ordinary person into such a powerful person in just three years? The only way that I can think of is that the spirit tribe can strengthen itself by devouring other forces. This may be the reason why Zhang Yan took out that strange bell and asked the Special Case Division and the demon species to help him catch the spirit tribe, and was even willing to use bone-strengthening pills in exchange. "
That is to say, Zhang Yan is not here, otherwise he would probably jump up and applaud after hearing the other party's words. Although the other party missed the guess, it was not far from the correct answer. The difference is that after Zhang Yan got those ghosts, he didn't devour them, but transcended them. His benefits are not derived from ghosts, but from the world of Desolate Heaven Realm.
"Speaking of which, if your guess is correct, will Zhang Yan continue to become stronger quickly with the help of the Special Cases Division and the demon species?"
"Yes, that's what the slave thinks."
Yang Sheng nodded slightly and continued walking in the small garden. But I can't help but feel awkward in my heart. In the past, if we encountered talents with great potential like Zhang Yan, if they were not snatched away by the Jiangwu Academy, Nanyuan Kingdom would have to hold on to them no matter what. But this Zhang Yan made Yang Sheng feel unable to start. You have to rely on the other party to tide over the difficulties in a short period of time, so you can't act rashly. In the long run, the other party may grow to the point where Nanyuan Kingdom cannot move.
The eunuch followed Yang Sheng for a while and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, there have been changes in Huayue recently, and several urgent reports have been sent to Huayue. It seems that there are arrangements. It has reached this point now. If you only place your hope on the Bone Strengthening Pill, the slave feels that you are still not sure. After all, even if everything goes well, Hua Yue doesn't know the situation of Prince Qing, but Prince Qing can only reach the middle stage of the Hundred Refining Realm. What if Guo Yulong has If the talented princes from Huayue were summoned with warning, the situation would still be unsolvable.
So the slave thought that maybe we could really try Princess Qingling's method and ask Zhang Yan to come to Yuanding Imperial City and lend him a helping hand? "
Yang Sheng paused again, looked at the eunuch behind him with a half-smile, and said, "By the way, I can let you test his depth, right?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
