Chapter 684 Night Banquet

Seeing that Jin Ling accepted the Iron Iron Sword of the Diamond, Shang Jiong was in a good mood. As long as Jin Ling accepted it, it means that he was determined to stand in the same camp as him.

Although Jinyuan now has not many immortals, its powerful financial resources and the power of the terrifying fire thunder musket still have a huge help to itself.

The palace was decorated with bright lights and bright lights. In order to welcome their return, it was as if they were going to celebrate a major festival.

"How has you practiced Shanhai Art?" the national master asked as he walked.

"I have cultivated to the third level." Jin Ling replied.

"Okay, okay." The national teacher was very satisfied with this matter.

Along the way, they also met many important officials of the kingdom who came to the banquet. Without exception, they all expressed their congratulations on Jin Ling and Feng Yuelan's return to cultivation. Some of them were close to each other and even offered some gifts, either gold or gold, immortal crystals, or magic gadgets used by immortals. In short, they wanted to get close to Jin Ling or Feng Yuelan.

In the banquet hall, Jin Ling met the second prince Shang Yu. The latter sat down on his own, just staring coldly, without going up to say a word, let alone congratulations.

The poisonous master Yan Kun next to him had the same cold eyes and his face was dull.

His son Yan Jie, with a look of jealousy, watched Jin Ling and Shang Ran come in side by side.

"Haha, the two young geniuses from our Northern Jin Kingdom have returned!" Shang Zhen, the king of the country, stood up in the middle of the head of the banquet hall, and waved to them with a satisfied smile on his face. Then he nodded to the director of the dining hall next to him, who clapped his hands, and then a group of beauties in palace costumes walked out of the back hall like flowing water, and presented fine wine and food to the seats in the banquet hall.

Then there was also a team of palace maids who led the powerful and powerful people from various kingdoms and Jin Ling to the seats.

Surprisingly, the rankings of Jin Ling and Feng Yuelan were actually on the left and right sides of Shang Zhen, which was higher than those of princes and princesses, national teachers, prime ministers, generals and ministers, which showed Shang Zhen's attention to the two young senior immortals.

Such an arrangement has made many people start to think about it.

"Jin Ling, Yue Lan." Shang Zhen even poured the first glass of wine for the two of them and invited them to drink together. "Some time ago, after hearing that your cultivation level was promoted to the advanced Immortal Lord, I was so happy that I didn't sleep well all night. You are all young handsome men and pillars of the country. Your return will surely play a good role in the power of my Northern Jin Kingdom! I wish you this cup!"

The king of the country toasted, and both of them had a drink. The other princes, ministers and powerful men also stood with him.

"Just yesterday, I took the handbook from the Lord of Guzhu. The handbook talked about you two, and I envy you." Shang Zhen said happily, "They, Guzhu Country, four years ago, seven people passed the Shanhai Sect's assessment, but what if, when they returned, the seven people with the highest cultivation level were just junior immortals! Moreover, their performance on Shanhai Sect was mediocre. Oh, one of them died in the battle with the Blood Spirit Sect, but it was useless to die in the battle. So, Guzhu said that they wanted to use a lot of money or treasures to dig you over. Hehe, I immediately wrote back to him, and I said, there was no door! Come! Let's have another drink!"

The two and all the people who attended the banquet had another drink with him.

"Because you were admitted to Shanhai Sect, the kingdom also set up a secret spy in Shanhai City to regularly repay your situation. Jinyuan is engaged in business and development of industries in Shanhai City, your cultivation and progress, as well as the battle between the Black Songlin and the Blood Spirit Sect, the construction of Jinsong City, and the important matters of the sect competition assessment, have all been returned. It is indeed good, very good! The Northern Jin Kingdom is proud of you! Let's have another cup!"

Shang Zhen raised his glass again and drank with the two of them.

Shang Zhen had a high opinion of the two of them for their cultivation in Shanhai Sect. The princes and nobles also agreed and praised them.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became even more lively. From time to time, people came to toast, and the two of them refused. For them, drinking some wine was nothing. The key was to meet Shang Zhen’s expectations and the lively and meticulous atmosphere of this banquet.

At nearly half of the banquet, as long as the person who did not deliberately use the power of immortality to restrain the power of drinking, he was drunk. At this time, Shang Zhen hugged Jin Ling's shoulder and drank with him, while saying, "Boy, do you know that during the four years when you were away, there were people who said bad things about you and Jinyuan in various ways."

Jin Ling was stunned and quickly said, "I am afraid."

"They said that you practiced in Shanhai Sect and made rapid progress. From the realm of the Immortal Master, you have also gained great importance to the outside sect and made achievements for the sect. Your Jinyuan has been developing and developing major. Until now, even the streets and alleys of Jinhua City are full of industries under your name, and you have made huge profits every day. Your Jinyuan has hosted thousands of people of the Jin family, with powerful firearms, and has many subordinates of immortals. They have formed alliances with some local major forces in Lingshan, such as the Gu family, the Ma family, and the Guo family. They said that if you want to make a mistake, then the entire Northern Jin Kingdom will be in danger." Shang Zhen said while looking at the expression of the young man.

"Your Majesty." Jin Ling quickly put down his wine glass, "If I have such ambition, I will not reveal my identity on the same day, and I will express my loyalty to Your Majesty, and act in secret, wouldn't it be better? If I have such ambition, why did I have to do my best to heal the poison in Your Majesty and save Your Majesty's life? Wouldn't it be easier to accomplish things after Your Majesty's death? If I have such ambition, why would I be harmed by the poison of the evil spirits of the gangster on that day? The poison in it is similar to that in Your Majesty? If I have such ambition, why would I let my sister recognize Your Majesty as her father and be awarded the title of princess? If I have such ambition, why should I put Jinyuan's main business above doing business and make great efforts to increase taxes for the business of the prosperous kingdom? If I have such ambition, wouldn't it be better to use it to rectify the army and hire immortals?"

His series of rhetorical questions made Shang Zhen very satisfied. After hearing this, the princes and ministers nearby felt that they could not argue.

Indeed, except for some of the identity problems, this young man was the son of the former dynasty's king, he could not see any evil intentions in any other aspect. Not only did he not have evil intentions, he was also the life-saving benefactor of the king Shang Zhen. Moreover, the commercial development of Jinyuan has indeed greatly increased the current national tax revenue of the Northern Jin Kingdom.

Shang Zhen laughed: "What I just said is just the thoughts of some people, not my own. Don't be too careful. I have never listened to their nonsense."

As soon as he said this, the faces of a certain prince and some ministers present became extremely unnatural.

"Your Majesty is wise. I am really taking refugees from Jin's surname because they have not been accepted by the Xin Dynasty for many years and have lived a hard life. Moreover, taking refugees requires a lot of manpower and financial resources every day. They don't have any money for food, accommodation and medicine. Since Your Majesty has issued an edict to equate the status of people with Jin's surname to other citizens, you must make some statements. I am just to stabilize the hearts of the people on behalf of Your Majesty. If you say that the little minister uses these Jin's surnames to make a mistake, then please go to Jinyuan to see them for yourself. I have moved nearly 10,000 people of Jin's surname to Jinsong City. If you want to make a mistake, would you have to organize these nearly 10,000 refugees to come from Jinsongsong thousands of miles away???" Jin Ling continued.

As soon as these words were said, everyone here also thought that such a crime was extremely absurd.
