The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Now that the Temple of Martial Gods has emerged, all sides are focused on it. Since the Empress ascended the throne, the Great Jing Dynasty has been the target of discontent from all sides, with the Longwu and Kushan dynasties eyeing it covetously.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Shen Li of Zhenbei demonstrated the military might of the Great Jing Dynasty in the Battle of Sifang City not long ago, this war would probably have already broken out!

At this moment, Da Jing was surrounded by wolves.

The current empress is at the center of a storm, with everyone watching her.

Therefore, she also wanted to use the mysterious power within the Temple of Martial Gods to make herself even stronger.

Otherwise, various forces and hostile countries would secretly unite to put pressure on the Great Jing Dynasty and eventually divide and devour it!

Therefore, Ji Wuxin summoned them here mainly to arrest a few troublemakers as a warning to others, so that the operation to find the Temple of Martial God at sea could go smoothly and be successful in one go!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Judging from this, it seems like we're in for a series of major battles!

"This time they're going to make a big move," someone muttered.

"Killing one or two of our Great Jing's forces is no problem, but the key is that bastard Ming Heying, the Longwu Dynasty, and the Kushan Empire. If those three bastards cause trouble, the consequences will be severe." Some people also looked worried.

Just then, Ji Bingyan brought Jia Daoshi to the entrance of the main hall. After being informed by the guards protecting the main hall, the two went inside together.

After several close encounters, the relationship between Ji Bingyan and Jia Daoshi became noticeably closer.

It also feels much more natural now.

It's the same familiar main hall.

However, the people sitting inside had changed, and this group of people clearly all looked to be experts.

The only familiar person was Ji Wuxin, who sat on the dragon throne, dressed in a phoenix robe, exuding both nobility and boundless charm!

Empress of Great Scenery!

However, besides Empress Da Jing, Jia Daoshi made a new discovery.

Sitting in the hall were several exquisite young ladies, and one of them even seemed to be a master.

It seems these people must be the experts from the Great Jing Imperial Palace!

"Come with me to see His Majesty!"

When Ji Bingyan saw Jia Daoshi enter the main hall and still look around indifferently, showing no manners of a subject, she was speechless.

Jia Daoshi smiled. He had no reason to fear any empress now.

However, since she was his wife's "mother," he decided to give her face.

"Greetings, Empress!"

"Alright, Mr. Jia, you may dispense with the formalities!"

The Empress's phoenix eyes fell on Jia Daoshi, a strange light flashing in them!

The feeling she got from Jia Daoshi was truly unbelievable.

It's hard to imagine that a person can grow so quickly!

Even with the profound knowledge and expertise of the Jinshi School, it would be difficult to achieve this, wouldn't it?

Ji Bingyan led Jia Daoshi to his seat.

The people in the hall already knew about the relationship between the two.

"Jia Tisi, Emperor Zhan Yunqian of the Longwu Dynasty also possesses a key to the Martial God Temple. Just this morning, news came from there that the key had exhibited unusual activity. According to records, this is a sign of the Martial God Temple's emergence! I wonder if there has been any change in the key in Jia Tisi's possession?" The speaker was a very refined middle-aged man dressed in a moon-white robe.

This man had a wisp of beard on his chin and his hair was neatly styled. He hadn't said anything yet, but when he did, his voice seemed to have a magical quality that could calm people's emotions.

He is the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jing Dynasty, named Lu Li!

"There have been changes," Jia Daoshi nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

“Jia Tisi, earlier, that Japanese woman handed you a golden book, which is said to be a nautical chart. I wonder if you could give me this nautical chart? Now that the Temple of Martial God has appeared, our fleet can set sail. Everything is ready except for the east wind!” Lu Li said to Jia Daoshi.

“Even if I gave you this nautical chart, you wouldn’t be able to understand it,” Jia Daoshi said, pursing his lips. “Even I can’t understand it.”

“Jia Tisi, you…” Lu Li’s expression changed.

A slight smile appeared on Jia Daoshi's lips. He had brought the golden book with him when he came.

Seeing that the other party had this request, he didn't hide it and just handed it over.

As expected, the other party couldn't even open it, let alone look at it.

Lu Li looked at the golden book in his hand, his face showing a solemn expression: "Without the sea chart, it would be impossible to find the Temple of Martial God!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall frowned.

They had been planning this voyage for a long time!

Now you're telling me there's no navigation?

What is this thing called?

Jia Daoshi would naturally not easily tell Ji Wuxin his location.

The Martial God Temple is my wife's ancestral treasure. How can I take them there if the terms haven't been agreed upon?

"Jia Tisi..."

Empress Ji Wuxin looked at Jia Daoshi's calm and collected demeanor and suddenly had an idea. Just as she was about to say something, a guard captain hurriedly walked in from the palace gate.

"His Majesty!"

Ji Wuxin frowned: "What is it?"

The guard captain said, "Many martial arts figures and heads of various powerful families have arrived outside the manor. They all request an audience with His Majesty!"

The martial arts sects in the martial arts world usually don't have a good relationship with the imperial court; they're the kind of sects that will start fighting as soon as they meet.

As for powerful clans, they have a good relationship with the imperial court. There are many powerful clans in the Great Jing Dynasty. In recent years, the Great Jing Dynasty has been plagued by war and chaos, and has also experienced famine. In order to seek stability, the imperial court has given a lot of power to powerful clans that are entrenched in various places!

These powerful families often coexisted with local江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world or江湖义气, a code of honor among ...) forces.

Therefore, sometimes, the head of a powerful family is essentially an intermediary between the imperial court and martial arts sects.

After all, it is completely impossible to eradicate these elusive martial arts forces.

Even the imperial court had close ties with Daowu King Valley.

At this crucial moment, this group of people suddenly appeared together!

To call it a coincidence is something even a ghost wouldn't believe!

As for what they came here for, it's actually quite easy to guess.

Basically, they're here to put pressure on the imperial court!

Ji Wuxin thought for a moment and said calmly, "You may all leave now. Bingyan and Jia Tisi, you two stay. Grand Preceptor, Lord Yuchi, Yuanzhen, and Feiyan, you four also stay. The rest of you may leave now."

As she spoke, Ji Wuxin looked at the captain at the palace gate: "Summon them!"

After a group of people left, the main hall was quickly emptied.

Taking advantage of this lull, Ji Wuxin pondered for a moment and said, "Chief Jia, this trip to the Martial God Temple will inevitably involve contact with the Longwu Kingdom. I know Zhan Yunqian well; he is greedy and a cunning old fox. He will certainly deploy his elite forces to compete for it, and a battle is inevitable. Therefore, we are in dire need of manpower, so we must unite with the martial arts world and powerful families. When we meet them later, I ask that Chief Jia be lenient and avoid fighting with them."

During this time, Jia Daoshi was wreaking havoc in the martial arts world, and Ji Wuxin was worried that Jia Daoshi might kill someone again at the slightest disagreement.
