"oh?"
Li Ming raised an eyebrow. This important figure in the capital had finally sent someone to win him over.
Just as he expected.
When your value is great enough, even those who are above ten thousand people and second only to one person will have to take you seriously.
"knew."
Li Ming nodded, then straightened his clothes and waited in front of the main hall.
Not long after.
Outside the Six Doors.
Several figures descended from the void, the leader dressed in black robes, accompanied by two guards from the palace.
"Let's go and see the famous Li Ming of the Six Doors."
The eunuch in black robes was fair-skinned and beardless, wearing a tall crown and long robe. His voice was harsh, and he spoke with his fingers in a delicate, orchid-like gesture.
"The imperial envoy has arrived!"
Inside the main hall of the Six Doors, two guards used their inner energy, making their voices extremely loud.
Upon hearing this, Li Ming and the others immediately left the main hall, where many constables were already kneeling on one knee with solemn expressions.
The group of eunuchs in black arrived in front of the main hall of the Six Doors and immediately spotted Li Ming, who stood at the very front of the crowd, tall and handsome, with an air of otherworldly grace.
Where is Li Ming of the Six Doors?
"Your humble servant is here!"
Li Ming looked calmly at the eunuch in black and bowed slightly.
As the Martial Saint of the Imperial Court, he had the privilege of not kneeling.
Seeing this, the eunuch in black said nothing more. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and he took out an imperial edict, which he read aloud:
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Crown Prince issues this edict."
"Li Ming of Cangzhou has made it onto the Human Ranking, been promoted to Martial Saint, and quelled the rebellion in Qingdi City. His Highness is deeply gratified and hereby promotes Li Ming to the position of Divine Constable of the Six Doors and bestows upon him a treasure from the national treasury."
"His Highness the Crown Prince was extremely pleased and praised Constable Li highly during the court assembly. Please remember the Crown Prince's appreciation, Constable Li."
The eunuch in black said meaningfully:
"After discussions between His Highness and Governor Zhuge, it was decided to open the national treasury and allow Constable Li to make his own selections."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. I will certainly do my best to serve the Great Xuan."
Li Ming remained expressionless and cupped his hands in greeting.
The words spoken on the surface still need to be appropriate.
Although he did not want to join any political party.
However, if you haven't reached a certain level of strength, you shouldn't even think about remaining purely neutral.
Moreover, as the department in charge of punishment and responsible for handling matters of the martial arts world, the position of Divine Constable of the Six Doors is not easy to hold, and it is as normal as a second-rank Martial Saint like Zhao Xuanwu.
The Crown Prince's direct promotion of Li Ming to the position of Divine Constable already demonstrates his high regard for him.
After all, the Divine Constable is a figure who can govern an entire province.
In the capital, one could also control a palace and hold a high position of power.
They could be considered high-ranking officials in the country, qualified to wear purple robes, attend court assemblies, and participate in decision-making on major national affairs.
As for the reward of a treasure from the national treasury, that was beyond his expectations.
The treasury of the Great Xuan Kingdom is not like the treasury of his previous life, which only contained gold and silver treasures.
It contains many rare and wondrous objects, as well as pseudo-divine weapons.
"This is a list of treasures in the national treasury. You can choose one, and someone will deliver it to you in seven days."
After speaking, the eunuch in black handed Li Ming a catalog.
Looking at the rows and rows of treasure names.
Li Ming was dazzled.
Fortunately, the directory is also categorized.
Cultivation techniques, rare items, weapons, herbs, and so on...
He couldn't possibly give up the cultivation method.
These strange objects are not very useful.
Weapons and herbs are not urgently needed.
Upon seeing this, Li Ming thought of:
"The Chaos Sword Embryo is already at a critical stage of transformation. If it has this Star Essence, it might be able to step into the level of a divine weapon."
Star Essence is the essence of meteorite iron, a top-tier material for forging divine weapons.
The national treasury contains a fist-sized Star Essence, whose value is no less than that of those pseudo-divine weapons.
"Your Excellency, I require the essence of the stars."
Li Ming cupped his hands in greeting.
"Hmm... This Star Essence has been kept in the national treasury for decades. I didn't expect you to need it."
The eunuch in black exclaimed in surprise.
The existence of this thing is truly somewhat awkward.
Forging a divine weapon requires the intervention of a martial god and a great deal of materials; it cannot be accomplished by a single Star Essence.
However, they didn't want to waste the material when forging a pseudo-divine weapon.
Therefore, although this item is a divine weapon-grade material, it has been largely ignored for a long time.
However, since Li Ming has asked for it, he will definitely give it to him.
"In that case, I will return. The goods will be delivered here in seven days, is that acceptable?"
"good."
Li Ming responded.
After the imperial envoy left.
Lu Tian walked over with a worried expression, pulled Li Ming into the hall, cleared away the bystanders, and frowned as he said:
"Li Ming, you've gotten involved in this struggle for the throne. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
"However, His Highness the Crown Prince is a benevolent ruler. It seems that joining his side would be a good option."
Crown Prince Jiang Xuanji was the eldest son of the legitimate wife and was exceptionally intelligent, displaying remarkable martial arts talent from a young age.
Having seized the moral high ground, they now even possess the power to oversee the country.
Although the other princes were all of decent quality, they posed no threat to the crown prince.
However, since the birth of Jiang Yuanba, this nineteenth prince, with his unparalleled talent, has been greatly favored.
He was crowned a tyrant from a young age, and on every festival he would bestow treasures upon all sides, many of which were extraordinary.
As a result, the Overlord Party continued to grow stronger.
Many people believe that the Overlord is exceptionally talented and has the potential to become a martial god. They think that the sage might depose the crown prince and install the Overlord in his place.
After listening to Lu Tian's detailed analysis.
Li Ming, however, was lost in thought and didn't pay much attention to these matters.
He accepted the crown prince's treasures, which, in the eyes of outsiders, meant that he had joined the crown prince's faction.
But unless someone is foolish enough to provoke him, he naturally won't do anything for the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was well aware of this.
All he wanted was for Li Ming to be on his side in name only.
He would be happy if other parties attacked Li Ming.
This is also a calculated move.
...
The city of Cangyang, the residence of the prefect.
It was late at night, but Prefect Wang Ming was still handling official business.
Suddenly, a blood-red figure entered the room.
"Greetings, Holy Envoy! Blood God is eternal!"
Upon seeing this person's arrival, Wang Ming was not alarmed at all; on the contrary, he was very respectful.
The blood-red figure spoke:
“Li Ming has come into the city. Find a way to lure him here.”
"If we can perform a blood sacrifice on this person, the Blood God will surely bestow upon him unparalleled glory."
"yes!"
