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

Chapter 730 Which Prince Does the Chief Prefer?

Cliffside City.

City Lord's Mansion.

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Jia Daoshi did not, as usual, seek out his wives for intimate moments.

Instead, he went to the garden outside the study, took out a topographical map of Youzhou County and the surrounding area, and quietly looked at it.

Now that the Empress has granted him the entire Youzhou Prefecture as his fiefdom, he naturally needs to have a basic understanding of his fiefdom.

But just then, the little maid Yinxin ran in: "Young master, a strange person has come outside. Who is looking for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Daoshi was taken aback.

A strange person?

What do you mean?

How strange?

"Hmm... they were wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe, so I couldn't see their face or hear their voices." Yin Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Oh?"

Generally speaking, Jia Daoxian is now the master of Juebi City, and not just anyone can meet him.

If just any ordinary person came to see him, Jia Daoshi would be extremely busy.

Because after defeating the barbarian coalition of 500,000, people would often bring gifts to the city lord's mansion.

For example, some wealthy families and martial arts sects all wanted to establish a relationship with Jia Daoshi.

Jia Daoshi ignored all these people.

Of course, you can accept the gift you sent; why not take it?

But if you want to meet someone? Forget about it!

He didn't want to waste his time on these people.

Therefore, when Jia Daoshi heard that someone was looking for him, he naturally thought that someone had come to deliver gifts again.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

The people who came in were wearing straw hats, so not only could their faces not be seen, but it was also impossible to tell whether they were men or women!

If it were a normal gift-giving occasion, they wouldn't send such a strange person, would they?

Jia Daoshi thought for a moment and said, "Does the other party have any tokens or anything like that on them?"

Yin Xin thought for a moment: "No~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xin suddenly added, "Oh, right, it was Sister Bingyan who came to inform you, young master."

Did Ji Bingyan send the notification?

Ji Bingyan usually doesn't concern herself with these matters. If someone is someone Ji Bingyan would specifically instruct, then the person who came must be extraordinary; otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Yin Xin to report to her.

Thinking of this, Jia Daoshi looked up at Yin Xin and said, "Alright, let him in."

Yin Xin accepted the order: "Yes, sir, I'll go right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xin turned and walked towards the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at Yin Xin's retreating figure, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Back in Yilan County, this little girl had followed him all the way to Juebi City, serving him by his side ever since.

These days, it's rare to find such a loyal and devoted young girl.

The city lord's mansion has also recruited many new maids, but none of them are as attentive as Yin Xin.

Moreover, now that he has a good reputation, many of his maids are scheming and trying to get into his bed.

But who is Jia Daoshi? How could he let these little tea girls get away with it?

Previously, I hadn't paid much attention to the recruitment matters of the City Lord's Mansion, but now it seems that I still need to have someone keep an eye on things, and we can't just bring any person into the City Lord's Mansion.

Jia Daoshi waited in the garden for a while, and then a person wearing a straw hat and a black robe, whose face could not be seen, followed Yin Xin in.

Upon seeing the figure before him, a playful glint appeared in Jia Daoshi's eyes.

He could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.

Although his martial arts skills were very subtle, judging from the fluctuations he exuded, he was definitely a hidden master.

Moreover, this guy had a bronze token hanging from his waist.

Jia Daoshi also had a token of this type—a token from the Imperial City Guard!

Clearly, this guy must have come from the Great Jing Imperial Palace!

"This gentleman is..."

Jia Daoshi stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and that was considered a greeting.

"High Priest of the Great Jing Dynasty greets Jatis! I have long admired your name, and seeing you in person today truly makes my reputation stand out." the High Priest said.

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but laugh, and continued, "High Priest, what brings you here from so far away? You didn't come all this way just to praise me, did you?"

"Just say what you want to say directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest nodded and then said, "I do have something to discuss with you, Lord Jia, but before we get to the main point, I would like to ask you a question. What are your thoughts on the current state of affairs in the world?"

Upon hearing the high priest's words, Jia Daoshi immediately came to his senses.

This high priest is setting a challenge for himself.

It's clear that this high priest holds a high position in the court; he's likely a figure similar to an advisor to the Empress.

This visit was clearly at the Empress's behest.

However, Jia Daoshi didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to give him a question.

Could this be the Empress's intention?

After thinking for a moment, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but say:

"I wonder if the situation of the world that the High Priest is referring to is the situation of the Great Jing Dynasty, or the situation of the entire world, including other dynasties?"

The high priest was stunned when he heard Jia Daoshi's question.

He was only asking about the overall situation in Dajing.

Generally speaking, when people from different dynasties talk about the state of the world, they are mostly referring to the situation of their own dynasty and do not involve other dynasties.

Therefore, Jia Daoshi's answer surprised the High Priest somewhat: "Jia Tisi, in your opinion, is it only when all dynasties are combined that one can truly bear the title of 'all under heaven'?"

When Jia Daoshi heard this question, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Wasn't it obvious?

Under the heavens, all under the sky, are the Great Jing, Longwu, and Kushan all under this one sky?

"High Priest, in my opinion, the world should naturally include all dynasties and powers. Otherwise, how can a single Great Jing Dynasty support the title of the world?" Jia Daoshi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the high priest remained silent for a long while before bowing and clasping his hands in a salute to Jia Daoshi: "Jia Daoshi's words have enlightened me greatly, and I have learned a great deal!"

Jia Daoshi: "..."

What kind of education is this?

The high priest's voice continued: "Lord Tiss's charisma is truly admirable."

In Jia Daoshi's eyes, the world was not just a grand scene, but the entire world, including all dynasties.

This is perhaps the true meaning of grand vision.

Even the late emperor did not possess such magnanimity!

However, after hearing this, Jia Daoshi felt that the high priest had some problems.

Just then, the High Priest continued, "Lord Ti Si, I have another question. Among the current princes, which prince do you favor to inherit the throne?"

This is a question that not only the High Priest wants to know, but even the Empress is very curious about.

Upon hearing the high priest's question, Jia Daoshi smiled.
