Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

"Queen, are you serious? If the national teacher brings back the Heavenly Dao Sacred Tree in a shorter time, can he really get a generous reward?"

The national teacher asked back immediately, not giving others a chance to refute Shi Xuanji.

Shi Xuanji also nodded immediately: "Of course, bringing back the Heavenly Dao Sacred Tree not only saves the face of the court, but also allows everyone to regain the opportunity to stimulate their innate magical powers."

"Things that benefit everyone should be rewarded."

As she said, she looked at the ministers.

Situ Wenzhong and the other two were all confused.

What do you mean?

We didn't say a word, how come the matter changed from convicting the national teacher to rewarding?

Why is the queen so quick to speak?

Women are women, and they really don't know how to speak.

And you are a puppet with no power, how can you have the confidence to promise such a thing?

The three were a little annoyed.

Zhao Mu felt funny. Shi Xuanji and the national teacher sang the same tune, which trapped the three old foxes.

Now that they are in this trap, don't think about getting out again.

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Xuanji finished speaking, there were voices of approval from the civil and military officials.

"Yes, if the national teacher can really bring back the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao in a short period of time, it will be a great achievement."

"That's right. If you can get the Holy Fruit of Heavenly Dao earlier, you can also stimulate your innate magical powers earlier. I don't want to stimulate it a hundred years later!"

"That's right. Who knows what will happen in a hundred years? What if you die in an accident? If you can stimulate your innate magical powers earlier, you may be able to avoid the fatal danger that may come!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this official agrees to give the national teacher a generous reward!"

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

These officials who agree are naturally Shi Xuanji's people in secret.

Although their number seemed small, they were officials from different factions. Some of them were attached to Situ Wenzhong, some to Qin Mu, and some to King Kang.

When other officials from these factions saw that there were people who agreed on their side, they thought that they had received a hint from their immediate superiors, so they quickly agreed.

So for a while, the continuous "seconding" voices almost overturned the roof of the Council Hall.

Situ Wenzhong and the other two had gloomy faces and stared fiercely at the official who agreed first on their side.

They suspected that these so-called people had been bought by the national teacher a long time ago, otherwise why would they be so anxious to speak for the national teacher?

But unfortunately, they could not deal with traitors blatantly in the court, otherwise they would have to skin these people alive.

However, although they felt that the national teacher had been prepared, the three did not take it too seriously.

Because they did not think that the national teacher could bring back the Holy Tree of Heaven in a shorter time.

Even more, they did not think that the Holy Tree of Heaven could come back.

Is the Northern Territory Master so easy to talk to?

If things can be done so easily, then why are they so embarrassed? Isn't it better to go to the Northern Territory directly?

In that case, not only can they make a contribution by bringing back the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao, but they can also make themselves familiar in front of the Northern Territory Master, which is simply a great thing.

So the three of them calmly followed the other officials and expressed their approval.

However, Situ Wenzhong said again: "Empress, generous rewards are of course acceptable, but you must also make it clear in advance how long it will take for the National Master to bring back the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao."

Kang Wang immediately nodded: "Yes, it is indeed necessary to make it clear in advance, otherwise the National Master will take 70 or 80 years to bring back the Holy Tree of Heavenly Dao, and he will not be qualified to receive the reward at all."

The National Master smiled: "Then how long does Kang Wang think it will take to bring back the Holy Tree for the National Master to be qualified to receive the reward?"

"At most ten years!"

King Kang thought about it and said a time that he could not return even if he walked through the endless wasteland.

The national teacher did not curse, but laughed again: "If the holy tree is really brought back in ten years, what reward does King Kang think the national teacher should get?"

"It's enough to reward you with some natural treasures, what else do you want?"

"The national teacher wants... the military token of the Tiger Power Army!"

"What, you haven't woken up yet, dare to ask for the military token of the Tiger Power Army?" King Kang's face suddenly changed, staring at the national teacher fiercely.

The other officials heard the words, and all their faces changed suddenly.

What is the Tiger Power Army?

That is the most powerful elite army of the Holy Tree Fairyland, without a doubt, and it has always been controlled by the emperor himself.

The Tiger Power Army is different from other armies. They only recognize military tokens and not people.

In other words, if there is no military token, even if the emperor goes there in person, he can't mobilize the Tiger Power Army at all.

So in order to avoid the situation where he can't mobilize the Tiger Power Army, the new emperors of all dynasties will inherit the Tiger Power Army military token from the previous emperor before they ascend the throne.

And the Tiger Power Army military token is not an ordinary military token.

To be precise, the Tiger Power Army's military talisman is actually a kind of inherited magic weapon, which can only be refined by the emperors of the Holy Tree Immortal Kingdom.

Once the refining is completed, even if the emperor temporarily gives the military talisman to his ministers and lets the ministers command the Tiger Power Army, he will not worry about the Tiger Power Army losing control.

Because he can take back the military talisman at any time as long as he wants, and the ministers will naturally lose the qualification to command.

But when the Tiger Power Army's military talisman was passed down to Shengshu Longchang, something went wrong.

Some time ago, Shengshu Longchang gave the military talisman to King Kang and asked King Kang to lead the Tiger Power Army to do things.

But after a few days, Shengshu Longchang was sealed by Zhao Mu.

The unconscious Shengshu Longchang had no ability to take back the military token, so the Tiger Power Army had been in the hands of King Kang for some time.

King Kang would naturally hold the military token of such a powerful army as long as he could, and even wished to hold it in his hands forever.

But now, the national teacher actually wanted the Tiger Power Army military token. Isn't this poking King Kang in the lungs?

King Kang might even want to kill the national teacher.

Facing the cold eyes of King Kang, the national teacher smiled and said, "Why don't you dare to take it? The Tiger Power Army's military talisman is not yours, but yours."

"It's just that yours is unconscious now, so I haven't asked you for it for the time being."

"This national teacher doesn't want the Tiger Power Army's military talisman, but I'm afraid that you, King Kang, will do something bad, so I want to take it back for your majesty for safekeeping."

"What a joke!"

King Kang glared: "As a member of the royal family, the Tiger Power Army's military talisman can only be kept by me. How can you, a national teacher, be qualified?"

But before he finished speaking, he heard the general Qin Mu next to him laughing: "Why is King Kang so angry? The Tiger Power Army is not yours. What's wrong with taking it out as a bet? Do you really think that the national teacher can bring back the Heavenly Dao Holy Tree in ten years?"

"Yes, King Kang, I also think you can use the Tiger Power Army as a prize. Anyway, the Heavenly Dao Holy Tree is impossible to come back in ten years, so why do you care?"

Situ Wenzhong also teased.
