Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 205 Zhao Qi'an is the reincarnation of a true immortal? !
"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever."

The moment Wu Yong saw Shui Yuexian, he took the initiative to bow to her and said something polite.

Shuiyuexian did not respond, but just stood there quietly without any movement.

Although both of them were the right-hand men of Emperor Tianwu, they met each other only a few times and had no personal relationship to speak of.

After a long while, Shui Yuexian finally spoke slowly, her voice ethereal and pleasant: "Why did you come here, Zuo Xiang?"

Seeing that the Imperial Master had no intention of greeting, Wu Yong simply got straight to the point, his face becoming serious: "I would like to ask the Imperial Master to look at someone."

"who?"

"Princess Yuzhen's husband, Viscount Haiqing, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, Zhao Qi'an of the Zhao family of the East Sea!"

When Shui Yuexian heard that the person Wu Yong wanted her to "see" was Zhao Qi'an, she was not surprised.

She shook her head. "I can't see."

Wu Yong was startled for a moment and looked up at her.

Because he noticed that what the national teacher said was not "unwilling" but "can't see".

In other words, the Imperial Master had already noticed Zhao Qi'an a long time ago, but even the Imperial Master couldn't see through Zhao Qi'an's true colors?

Wu Yong pondered for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "When Emperor Tianwu entered the East China Sea, the mysterious man in the Zhao family who blocked the full-strength attack of His Majesty wearing the emperor's armor and holding the emperor's sword...was he Zhao Qi'an?"

Shui Yuexian shook her head again: "That year, Zhao Qi'an was only nineteen, he couldn't do it."

"But what if... he is the reincarnation of a true immortal?"

True immortal?

This word made Shui Yuexian, who had remained expressionless till then, finally raise her head and turn her head towards Wu Yong.

When one achieves the first level of Taoism, he is called a Yangxian.

To be able to be crowned as an "immortal", a first-class powerful person naturally possesses magical means like those of immortals, which makes him completely different from ordinary people.

But the life span of a Yangxian has a limit. Even if one has achieved the first level of Taoism, his life span will not exceed two hundred years.

If you want to break through the limitation of life span, then you have to break the limit of Yangxian and take the step that only exists in legends.

Above the Yang Immortal is the True Immortal.

But the true immortal is just an illusory legend. Whether true immortals really exist in the world is still an unknown.

Even if someone tried to reach this illusory realm with the whole country's strength, they still failed.

Seeing that the Imperial Master remained silent for a long time, Wu Yong continued, "The Taoists' dissolution of the sword and the Buddhists' attainment of nirvana both have secret methods to be reborn."

“But even if they are first-rank Yang Immortals, they still cannot crack the mystery of their past lives after reincarnation. Their memories of their past lives will only slowly emerge as they grow older. And the few reincarnated golden boys that the court has already grasped, even if their memories of their past lives have been completely awakened, most of their personalities are not exactly the same as in their past lives, which shows that they are dominated by the memories of this life.”

"If what I know is correct, Zhao Qi'an was born innocent and knows everything. Even if he doesn't practice, his cultivation will increase day by day. He can understand all kinds of methods without learning."

"This is no longer something that the reincarnated golden boy of Yangxian can do. That is why Zhao Qi'an's previous life... maybe he was a true immortal? And he himself also retains the complete memory of a true immortal."

In the Nine Provinces of Daqian, the existence of the reincarnated golden boy is an extremely secret matter.

But for the two people present, this was not a secret.

Although Wu Yong is not a warrior, as the prime minister of Daqian, he knows many things that high-level warriors do not know.

Shui Yuexian listened quietly until this moment when she interrupted: "Where did you know these things?"

Wu Yong said without hesitation: "A minister of the Zhao family. He wants to ask me for help to help Zhao Wanjin, the Grand Duke of Donghai, to recover the Zhao family. The conditions he offered are hard for me to refuse."

"Recover?" "The Zhao family's business, which is well-known throughout the country, is now completely under the control of Zhao Qi'an." Wu Yong paused for a moment and smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that in Zhao Wanjin's eyes, Zhao Qi'an is an old monster who has taken over his only son, so it is normal for father and son to quarrel."

Shuiyuexian was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about the truth of this matter.

Wu Yong also patiently waited on the side.

After a while, Shui Yuexian slowly said: "This world does not allow the emergence of true immortals who transcend the world."

These words were said with great confidence, as if with complete certainty.

To Wu Yong's ears, this was particularly intriguing.

Then, she added, "I don't smell any scent of the underworld on Zhao Qi'an. He shouldn't be some reincarnated golden boy."

In other words, Ruan Yu was lying to him?
Wu Yong's face darkened slightly.

At the end, Shui Yuexian said: "But there is indeed something strange about Zhao Qi'an. However, there are many strange people in Kyoto City, not just Zhao Qi'an."

She had clearly developed a strong interest in Zhao Qi'an.

But for some reason, in front of Wu Yong, she acted as if she didn't care.

Wu Yong's brows slightly furrowed, but as if he had figured something out, they quickly relaxed and he bowed to Shui Yuexian and said, "I understand."

In fact, whether Zhao Qi'an is the reincarnated golden boy or not, it has no effect on him.

What he cared about was whether the feud between Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Qi'an was true or false.

If this is true, the Zhao family in Donghai is clearly showing a tendency to split... This is an opportunity for him.

If the Zhao family could get support from their wealth, it would be like a shot in the arm for the crumbling Daqian Kingdom, allowing it to last a few more years.

However, the specific details still depend on whether Ruan Yu can confirm everything he said.

……

"Words are not enough?"

When Minister Lu of the Ministry of War brought these four words from Prime Minister Wu to Ruan Yu, he immediately understood what Prime Minister Wu meant.

This is a case of not releasing the eagle before seeing the rabbit...

But Ruan Yu was a little worried for a moment.

If we can find the elite troops that Zhao Qi'an is hiding in the capital and present them as evidence, then perhaps we can gain the trust of Prime Minister Wu.

But the problem is that he has been entangled in those tedious lawsuits these days and has no time to spare to investigate. Even if he sends out some people sporadically, in the end, nothing will be found.

As for asking the Duke of Donghai to write a personal letter...I'm afraid that's impossible.

What he did after coming to Kyoto City was kept secret from Zhao Wanjin.

Zhao Wanjin was also a coward. He had obviously wanted to take back the power of the head of the family from Zhao Qian'an a long time ago, but as a father, he was afraid of his son.

However...Ruan Yu has another choice.

"This is a low-quality option. I thought it was just for precaution, but I didn't expect it to come in handy in the end."

He sighed softly in his heart, and then said to his junior fellow apprentice Wei Zhaofeng who was standing behind him: "Junior apprentice, go and call the spirit slave..."

Wei Zhaofeng couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, this is Kyoto City."

"I know. Go and call him."
