Chapter 1372 On the Road
Jiang Wuqi's life was short.
From that winter night in the 38th year of Yuanfeng to this morning in the 55th year of Yuanfeng.
He dragged his sick body and walked for 17 years.
The Emperor of Qi invited famous doctors from all over the world and promised them huge profits, but no one thought that Jiang Wuqi could live beyond the age of 10.
And he is already 17 this year.
These extra seven years were fought against death alone, and he snatched them back day by day.
The cold poison entered his life from the womb. The higher the cultivation, the more severe the cold poison.
To practice is to die. Not to practice is to wait for death.
Jiang Wuqi knew very early that fate did not give him more choices.
Both the forward and backward roads were dead ends.
Every day and every hour of his life, he endured great pain. Every bowl of medicine he drank was bitter, and every treatment he received was torture.
And he lived stubbornly.
Doctor Wen said that the inner palace was already at its limit. If he took a step forward, the cold poison would immediately attack and he would die.
He only asked, what if I step into the divine world?
Doctor Wen said that if you enter the outer building, you will die, and if you enter the Shenlin, you will die. Only Dongzhen can cut off the cold poison that has entered your life, but it is almost impossible to reach Dongzhen in one step.
He only said, then I will reach Dongzhen in one step.
He dragged the cold poison into his life body to create infinite possibilities.
He endured the pain every moment to open up the legend of Jiang Wuqi.
It is such a simple idea for a person to want to live.
But for Jiang Wuqi, it is such a difficult wish.
Unfortunately, his footsteps stopped forever in the autumn of the fifty-fifth year of Yuanfeng.
He solidified in this majestic and vast Ziji Palace, in this power center of the Great Qi Empire, silently turned into an ice sculpture.
How to evaluate him?
Just like the lonely question he asked in the Changsheng Palace -
"Who am I?"
The Great Qi Emperor was silent.
He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Jiang Wuqi's cheek, but it hovered in the air and remained still for a long time.
The magnificent and majestic emperor's crown and the snow-white fox fur that was frozen into ice were facing each other in silence.
And the hand that could change the world with a flip of the palm finally let go lonely.
From now on, it can never be touched again.
Earlier, Jiang Wuqi was naked and holding a jade, kneeling in front of the Ziji Palace waiting for trial. The emperor took the jade from his mouth, forgave him, but also alienated him.
And today, Jiang Wuqi finally asked him to return the white jade to show his innocence, and he found it himself.
The emperor's crown is magnificent and naturally high above, making people prostrate themselves when they see it. The tassels hanging from the Pingtian crown are also deeply imbued with time, hiding all the emotions of the Supreme of the East Region.
The emperor cannot be doubted.
The heart of the emperor cannot be guessed clearly.
The grace of heaven is like the sea, and the power of heaven is unpredictable.
He, Jiang Shu, is undoubtedly a qualified emperor.
But Jiang Wuqi finally called himself... a son.
How did he respond to his son?
The supreme ruler of the Great Qi Empire stood in the Purple Palace for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Until Han Ling suppressed his grief and whispered: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the two people captured by the Eleventh Prince?"
The Emperor of Qi seemed to wake up.
He turned and walked towards the Danbi.
The trajectory of the tassel beads in the air seemed to be the last farewell.
And his voice was as indifferent and distant as if it fell from the sky -
"Skin them."
The heroic lord who ruled the Eastern Region and dominated the world finally showed some emotion until this moment.
No need to test, no need for intelligence, no need to negotiate conditions, no need to pursue clues.
As long as they die in the most miserable way.
This is a father's memorial to his son.
The high Danbi finally came to the end, and the Emperor of Qi, wearing a crown, turned around and sat down on the indescribably precious dragon throne.
The light of the Red Sun Pearl could not penetrate the tassel beads, casting a shadow on the face of the emperor.
This Purple Extreme Palace is too tall and too spacious, and it makes the people in the palace seem too lonely.
…
…
Jiang Wang got the news on his way back to Qi—
The eleventh prince of Daqi and the Lord of Changsheng Palace, Jiang Wuqi, died of a cold poison attack in the Purple Extreme Palace at the age of seventeen.
Along with this news, Jiang Wuqi used himself as bait to catch all the spies of the Equal State in Qi.
From the Capital Inspection Office to the Imperial City Guards, and then to the Zhanyu Army on duty in the capital...
A total of twenty-three spies from the Equal State were caught!
You should know that the last time Xia State tied up the high-level people of the Divine Realm of the Equal State and sent them to Qi, they failed to dig out any important characters.
And this time, the twenty-three people have formed a huge dark network in Qi. They don't know each other, and only act for the same goal when necessary.
There are many high-ranking officials among them. There was the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony, Li Youjiu, the third-rank Qingpai head constable who came from one of the four Qingpai families... and even Yan Tu, the commander of the Zhanyu Army!
A person of the level of the commander of the Nine Soldiers was actually a high-level official of the Equal State!
This was almost impossible to happen in other hegemonic countries.
Only Qi, as the "youngest" hegemonic country among the six powers in the world, rose too fast and expanded too quickly, and in this process, many hidden dangers were buried.
Qi's iron hoofs trampled all over the Eastern Region, and it was unknown how many countries it conquered and how many talents it absorbed. While expanding rapidly, it also created too much hatred and buried too much pain.
This is an experience that any hegemonic country has had, and it requires enough historical thickness to digest them.
The current state of Qi is obviously still too "young".
A general like Yan Tu, who had already fought for Qi when Jiang Shu was still the prince, had he not revealed his flaws this time, who could have discerned his intentions?
But these old acne buried in Qi Guo's body, this time, Jiang Wuqi used his body as bait to gouge them out.
Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they are just small players and cannot pose any threat.
"Why, the news about His Highness Eleven seems to have touched you a lot?" Chong Xuansheng asked in the driving carriage.
The army has gradually withdrawn from Xingyue Plain, and the troops of Xu Kingdom have returned to the hands of Xu Kingdom people. Except for Xu Guo Li Shuwen, these talented people who led the army to fight can also rest.
Of course, although they are all talented people who have returned home with great honors, they are not all on the same road, and they have their own kinship and distance.
For example, Chong Xuansheng immediately pulled Jiang Wang into his carriage and interrogated him about various stories about the outer world.
Except for Jiang Wang, who had no intention of participating in the war, all the prodigies of Qi brought their own followers or clan soldiers, and they all had personal guards on the battlefield. It is these people who are now being brought back to Qi. At that time, the camp was divided, and Chong Xuansheng, Yan Fu, and Li Longchuan also gathered a team of personal soldiers for Jiang Wang. Unfortunately, Jiang Wang left the field at night and was of no use.
This time, when all the geniuses gathered together, their accompanying teams formed a motorcade.
From the bottom of his heart, Mr. Jiang certainly wanted to sit with Brother Yan Xian. It was not that he was coveting the luxury of a top-notch carriage, but that he was simply "smart and eager to learn" and liked to chat with knowledgeable people!
Furthermore, although Chong Xuan Sheng's carriage was not bad, there was a big fat man on the right and an iron lump on the opposite side. No matter how spacious it was, it was still a bit crowded.
Lord Jiang has enjoyed so much wealth that he no longer wants to endure hardship when he can afford it...
Amidst the sound of wheels rattling, Zhong Xuansheng continued: "I remember he targeted you in Yunwu Mountain."
"It's not aimed at me. He was protecting the dignity of the royal family at that time. Besides..." Jiang Wang turned to look out the car window.
The news of the death of the eleventh prince was also known to Zhong Xuansheng through emergency channels, but it has not spread to everyone now. The returning team is still immersed in the joy of Xingyueyuan's victory, and most people are looking forward to the rewards after returning home.
He sighed: "It is difficult to arouse disgust for a character like His Highness Eleven, even if he is on the opposite side."
Chong Xuan Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "I have no choice but to admit this."
"Speaking of which..." Jiang Wang said: "After returning from the Yellow River Meeting and presenting gifts at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, His Highness the Eleventh Prince once summoned me alone."
"I know this." Zhong Xuansheng said casually: "Didn't those highnesses recruit you?"
Jiang Wang shook his head: "The Eleventh Prince summoned me, not to recruit, but to compete with me."
Zhong Xuan Sheng's crooked sitting posture towards Fourteen suddenly straightened up. Although he was straight, he was still a puddle of fat. After all, he showed a somewhat serious attitude: "Spar with you?"
"Yes." Jiang Wang said, "He said he wanted to see who is the best in the world."
"This is not like what he would say..." Chongxuan Sheng said: "It seems that you have won."
Jiang Wang glanced at him: "You have so much confidence in me?"
Chong Xuan Sheng said: "With your character, if you lose, you will be embarrassed to take on the title of the No. 1 inner palace in Qing history."
"After Duanhun Gorge, of course I was confident that there was no difference between ancient and modern times in the Inner Palace. But at that time..." Jiang Wang said with some regret: "In a situation where life and death cannot be distinguished, even though I am undefeated, I can't beat him. "
Zhongxuan Sheng said with emotion: "Can he really compete with the leader in the inner palace?"
"He may be more powerful than you think." Jiang Wang said.
Chong Xuan Sheng understood somewhat: "His Royal Highness Eleven is indeed a person that makes people feel sorry for him. His style often makes people ignore his age. I really didn't expect that he would have such out-of-tune moments... Hey, I even made a special trip to find you to fight and ask who is the best in the world. "
Challenging a fellow genius to prove his courage was indeed not something Jiang Wuqi would do.
With his structure and mind, he should be focusing on the general trend of the world.
Even Jiang Wang himself, when he went to the Changsheng Palace, was actually prepared to refuse the solicitation and wanted to make it clear to Jiang Wuqi. Unexpectedly, it was a peak showdown.
Jiang Wuqi turned the world around in the palm of his hand, leaving a very deep impression on him. Jiang Wuqi broke through the fire world like a cook, which also opened up ideas for him to further perfect the fire world technique.
Now that I think about it...
Was it at that time that the young eleventh prince had already decided to use his body as bait?
The rare "lack of tune" that Zhong Xuansheng said about Jiang Wuqi was the last of his youthful spirit...
"I heard that he made a divine appearance in Yunwu Mountain and subdued two divine disciples with a flip of his palm. I really want to know, if he is not sick, if he is in his prime, can he compete with the peak state of my inner palace... "
Jiang Wang shook his head: "It's a pity that there will never be an answer."
If Guan Yan fails to achieve Star Lord, the monk who has been the most enlightened monk in Xuankong Temple for 500 years will just be a lost story.
Jiang Wuqi has withered away now, and not many people know that he also had the opportunity to compete for invincibility in the inner palace.
So many heroes from ancient times are all the dust of history!
It's a pity and a memory.
There was a murmur outside the carriage. Jiang Wang took a look and realized that the team was about to leave Xu Kingdom unknowingly, and Xu Kingdom's army was constantly dispersing.
Soon after, a tall and thin young man with gentle eyebrows and eyes approached the carriage. With a sincere look on his face, he bowed and said, "The boundary marker is ahead. I have sent you thousands of miles away, but we must say goodbye. The friendship we shared on the battlefield will be unforgettable in my life. I hope that Brother Jiang and Brother Chongxuan will rise to the top and realize their ambitions!"
The man was Li Shuwen, the genius of Xu Country.
Judging from his appearance, he should have come to visit in carriages.
Not far behind him, the cold-faced woman riding on a horse was Madam Xidu, a powerful master of the Godly Realm of Xu Country.
"We will meet again in the East Region." Jiang Wang returned the greeting seriously, "I also wish Brother Li peace and happiness, and everything goes well."
Madam Xidu stopped her horse not far away, which was actually a kind of support for Li Shuwen. She was probably worried that Li Shuwen would not be respected and ignored if he came to visit alone.
But as a powerful master of the Godly Realm and a senior official of Xu Country, it was impossible for her to knock on the carriages one by one and say goodbye to the young geniuses of Qi Country. So this situation was formed, and some small countries were very cautious and sad.
They had to express respect for Qi and retain their self-esteem as much as possible. It was not easy to grasp the right balance.
After Jiang Wang and Li Shuwen exchanged greetings, he just bowed to Madam Xidu from a distance and did not say much.
Madam Xidu nodded slightly, which was considered a return of courtesy.
In this battle, Xuguo won a nominal victory, and Qi’s resource support would not be less. But those soldiers who died on the battlefield were really dead. There was not enough time and they could not be replenished.
It was a win, but also a loss. The future was lost.
The backs of the Xuguo Tianjiao and the Xuguo senior officials were inevitably sighing.
After Li Shuwen walked away, Chong Xuansheng slowly said: "Remember what I told you? In the Xingyueyuan War, in order to limit the scale of the war, the number of Jingguo Tianjiao we killed should not exceed three."
Jiang Wang looked at him.
He continued, "For Jingguo, there are five places."
Zhong Xuansheng said nothing more, but he had said everything.
The truth of the world is sometimes extremely cruel.
Compared to Qiguo, Jingguo is stronger, so Jingguo has more room for killing.
The Xuguo army suffered heavy casualties today, and Li Shuwen had to say goodbye and greet the Qiguo Tianjiao one by one under the care of Mrs. Xidu. Isn't it the same reason?
As the "Theory of Power" said-"Why is it so? The power of the strong and the weak is different!"
Jiang Wang was silent for a while.
But what he thought about was not how cruel the world was.
But at this moment, Zhong Xuansheng, who was sitting in the same carriage with him.
Zhong Xuansheng always emphasized to him how cruel the world was, and always made him recognize the so-called "reality". But when he was in danger, this fat man always stood by him.
"Okay." Jiang Wang patted his butt and stood up: "I'm going to talk to Brother Yanxian!"
"What to talk about?" Zhong Xuansheng asked casually.
Jiang Wang glanced at him, somewhat proudly: "A topic between scholars."
In front of Chong Xuansheng's eyes that were trying to widen, Jiang Wang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked away proudly.
The fat man sneered in dissatisfaction.
Turning his head to Fourteen, he said: "Did you see? This arrogant character was really led astray by Xu Gao'e."
As he spoke, he leaned towards Fourteen: "Finally gone! I tell you, he is an unnecessary eyesore!"
Fourteen said nothing, just put the black heavy sword between her and Chong Xuansheng.
Chong Xuansheng turned around very naturally and lay on the other side of the carriage.
"It's really boring, on this road."
He said dryly.
Fourteen said nothing.
Two into one, see you tomorrow.
