Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Imperial capital.

The Song family's residence.

Song Chongshan sat quietly in the study, closed his eyes and meditated, and moved his fingers on the table unconsciously.

He is reflecting on himself.

This is a habit of Song Chongshan. He reflects on himself every day so that he can understand the gains and losses, think about countermeasures for what he may encounter tomorrow, and be fully prepared.

"Chongshan."

At this moment, an old voice sounded in his ears.

"This subordinate has met the Lord."

Song Chongshan immediately stood up and bowed to the dark place where the voice came from.

His posture was respectful, even if he couldn't see anyone.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Chu Chen's voice was so erratic that no one could find it.

"Xue Haichao, the commander of Jinyiwei, is very old and is preparing to retire and return to his hometown. His subordinates want to compete for the position of commander."

Song Chongshan said in a deep voice.

Although he is the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei, there is more than one deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei. If he can be successfully promoted to the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he will reach the sky in one step and completely control the entire Jin Yiwei without any constraints.

Chu Chen asked: "Who competes with you?"

"The person who competes with his subordinates is another deputy commander, Xiao Jingping. He is the son of Marquis Jian'an and is backed by Marquis Jian'an, the Minister of War and others."

Song Chongshan looked happy and replied quickly.

Chu Chen asked again: "Who is behind you?"

Song Chongshan flattered him calmly: "I am fortunate to have the great help of Duke Weiyuan. Of course, without the support of my lord, I would not be able to break through the marrow refining process, and now I am not qualified to compete for the position of commander."

"You don't need to put a high hat on me. If you can break through the marrow refining process, that's your own ability."

Chu Chen didn't take it seriously: "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

His control of Song Chongshan was just a casual move. Over the years, his support for Song Chongshan was pitiful.

Except for the Blazing Sun Heavenly Skill at the beginning, and the subsequent two top marrow-level martial arts books given to Song Chongshan as a reward for collecting information for him, he had no other support for Song Chongshan.

"This subordinate wants to ask the Lord to take action and kill Xiao Jingping."

As soon as these words came out, the study suddenly fell silent.

for a long time.

"Is this your plan?"

Chu Chen's voice sounded faintly just now, with a hint of undetectable coldness.

In an instant, the temperature of the entire study suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, and it suddenly entered the twelfth lunar month of winter, with a biting chill covering Song Chongshan's whole body.

The unimaginable pressure made Song Chongshan's feet weaken and he fell to his knees.

"My subordinates have a sincere heart. If I can become the commander of the Royal Guards, I will be able to serve my Lord better."

Song Chongshan did not dare to neglect and explained quickly.

"A sincere heart? Don't you want to test my depth?"

Chu Chen's voice was calm, without any emotion: "I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a common man who can't place himself in the right place."

Song Chongshan suddenly sweated like rain, and he regretted his own probing behavior:

"My lord, calm down. You have misunderstood. My subordinates are loyal to you and have no intention of tempting me. Please tell me clearly, my lord."

"No intention of testing?"

Chu Chen sneered: "Do you think you can get away with me by saying a few nice words?"

"ah!"

The next moment, Song Chongshan let out a scream, fell straight to the ground, covered his head, and screamed.

He just felt like he had a splitting headache, a poisonous insect was burrowing around in his brain, and waves of severe pain hit him, making him roll on the ground and almost fainted.

Chu Chen held the concealment talisman and stood not far from Song Chongshan. He just looked at Song Chongshan and lay on the ground in pain.

This was the first time he activated the Three Corpses Gu Insect Pill, and saw the appearance of the person who had eaten the Three Corpses Gu Insect Pill being bitten by the Gu Insects.

"This elixir is very effective, but unfortunately it can only control non-monks, innate warriors."

Chu Chen pondered, the Three Corpses Gu Chong Pill was learned from a Poison Sutra in the secret room of the pawn shop. This Poison Sutra was created by a poison master. The Three Corpses Gu Chong Dan is the strongest poison in this Poison Sutra. .

However, the raw materials for refining the Three Corpse Gu Insect Pill are all ordinary poisonous insects, which cannot affect monks and innate masters.

Monks and innate masters absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, and have strong mental power. They can look inside their own bodies, sense every part of the body, and use magic power or true energy to crush the larvae in the Three Corpses Gu Insect Pill.

certainly.

If the larvae in the Three Corpse Gu Insect Pill can be replaced by spiritual insects from the world of immortality, we may be able to control monks and innate masters.

However, spiritual insects are hard to find, and Chu Chen has not been able to develop a new Three Corpse Gu Insect Pill for the time being.

Snapped!

Chu Chen snapped his fingers and the Gu insects stopped drilling.

Song Chongshan was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. His face was pale, and his clothes were already wet with sweat. In a daze, he actually had the illusion of surviving the disaster.

"Thank you Lord for not killing me!"

Song Chongshan ignored the crazy pain in his head, gritted his teeth and kowtowed to the ground.

"You know how to be a noble person. If you want to use me as your promotion, you must also weigh your own weight. Remember that you have served me wholeheartedly in daily life, so I will spare your life.

But if there is another time, I will let you understand what it means to be unable to live and to die. "

Chu Chen's eyes were indifferent, and his words contained cold murderous intent.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have many chess pieces in his hands, there were even fewer people in high positions like Song Chongshan. If he were to kill him, it would not be easy to find a replacement in a short time.

Otherwise, when Song Chongshan behaved abnormally, Chu Chen would have crushed him to death.

"It seems like I'm still a little slack."

Chu Chen's mind was spinning.

All along, his focus has been on practicing and drawing talismans. He made moves in his spare time and did not deliberately manage the chess pieces. There were only a few chess pieces available.

But things are different now. He intends to explore the Immortal Dao inheritance in Dayan Kingdom and other places, which requires the assistance of many chess pieces. He can no longer be as casual as before.

Chu Chen planned to put some thought into this aspect and manage some chess pieces in the Yan Kingdom and the barbarians to avoid a similar situation from happening again.

As a chess player, what kind of chess player is he if he only has a few chess pieces in his hand?

However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.

"This subordinate deserves to die. He was seduced by Duke Weiyuan and acted in such a greedy way. Please forgive me and give me a chance to make amends for my past mistakes."

Song Chongshan kowtowed repeatedly and expressed his loyalty to Chu Chen: "The hundreds of households under my command have sent back news that an immortal treasure has been found in Yongning Mansion and will be sent to the imperial capital soon.

As soon as this thing arrives, the subordinates will present it to the Lord. "

"Immortal treasure?"

Chu Chen raised his brows, and the coldness in his eyes gradually softened: "If this thing is true, this matter will be completely over. If this thing is fake, you should know the consequences."

"Don't dare to deceive the Lord."

Song Chongshan worshiped again, feeling relieved in his heart.

He knew that his bet was right. As long as he presented this treasure, his attempt to test Chu Chen would be over.

"As soon as the things arrive, send them to Longmen Escort Bureau, and I will pick them up."

Chu Chen dropped these words and left.

"Your Majesty."

After a long time, Song Chongshan dared to get up.

"This old weirdo is too cautious. He was discovered after just a brief test. It's better not to test this old weirdo. If you anger this old weirdo, even the emperor will protect me, not to mention Duke Weiyuan."

Song Chongshan completely gave up his thoughts of testing Chu Chen, let alone the idea of ​​betraying Chu Chen in exchange for support.

Rights are important, but life is more important.
