Chapter 1403: It's Like a Lifetime Ago
"Where did Jiang Wang go?" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.
Zheng Shangming, who was reciting the emperor's favor, was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
"I asked, where did Jiang Wang go? Do you know?"
Zheng Shangming pursed his lips and said, "Leaving Qi State."
So everyone was silent.
…
…
A fierce battle has just ended.
The result of the battle is victory.
The young man named Ling Yue in Taixu Illusion still frowned and was very dissatisfied with himself.
Although we won, it was not easy.
The current ranking is only fifth in Taixuanhuang Realm. Stabilizing the top ten is a hurdle. Stabilizing the top five is another hurdle. And if you want to be firmly ranked first in Taixu, you have to be a step higher than everyone else.
He had barely entered the top five, but he already felt very strong resistance. And some people have already secured their first position in Taixu's inner palace, overlooking the heroes. Now we are already heading towards the first place in Taixu outer building...
Although there are some objective reasons for this, such as the rapid expansion of the Taixu Illusion Realm, more and more monks are participating in it, and strong men continue to emerge, so that the competition for rankings in the inner palace is becoming increasingly fierce...
But he's not one to make excuses for himself.
Especially some people's number one is the number one among the geniuses of all countries in the entire world. Even going back to the present, it is the first in history.
He had no excuses.
The more Young Master Lingyue thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. When he was about to fight a few more battles, he glanced and saw a familiar paper crane flying over.
"snort."
He snorted coldly and stood on the sword discussion platform, intending to ignore it as before.
But after thinking about it, I felt that I didn’t need to be too stingy.
That's all, let's see what some people fart.
Then he walked down to the sword discussion platform, stretched out his hand and grabbed the paper crane.
Looking at the letter, I can see that the article says——
"Don't worry, brother, the matter of Qi is over, I have come east with my sword. I will teach you to be the best in the mountains and seas!"
"What a mess!" Zuo Guangshu curled his lips and muttered: "The Mountain and Sea Realm is not a place to compete for rankings!"
Holding the letter, he paused for a while, sneered again, and then opened the paper and wrote: "The quota in the mountain and sea realm is very precious. You couldn't say it before, but I have already promised..."
After writing this, he paused again, reached out to erase it, and wrote again: "You don't need to come. Can't our great Chu Zuo family find a talented person who can help with boxing? Don't think that you are really invincible..."
The pen tip paused on the word invincible, and for a moment I felt that my words were very unconvincing. Then he thought that Jiang Qingyang was actually not that bad. He had really had trouble before.
That’s all.
He sighed, erased all the above words, and wrote magnanimously: "If you really want to participate, I will help you think of a way."
Put away the pen and let the paper crane fly away.
The sword discussion platform was still hanging not far away, but at this time, Zuo Guangshu had lost his mood to hone his combat skills.
In the blink of an eye, he exited Taixu Illusion with a cold look on his face.
The servants of Duke Huai's Mansion of Great Chu only saw their handsome young master in aqua-blue robes, running around the mansion: "Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!"
The old man thought something had happened, so he stepped out of the study and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Substitute!" Zuo Guangshu said like gold and jade.
…
…
Jiang Wang left Linzi alone and never looked back.
He only stopped in Qingyang Town for half a day, looked at the situation in the fiefdom, gave some advice to Dugu Xiao on her practice, told her to be more careful during this period, and then continued walking west.
The emperor has made a promise, and what he will do next depends entirely on his will.
He has done all he can do, and now he needs to quickly get out of the limelight to avoid disturbing the eyes of some people.
After all, the current queen has been sitting in the position of the master of the harem for so many years. If she really gets angry and murders someone, how many people in the government and the public can resist it?
It was only when he was leaving that he heard that the prince had achieved divine presence and had officially passed the limit of his lifespan. From then on, he had a body of gold and chalcedony, and was supreme and noble. According to the etiquette system, the ministers will congratulate him with state gifts...
The prince has long been able to achieve the Divine Presence, but his slowness and slowness show his stability. But neither sooner nor later, but at this time, God came.
What is this indicating?
This shows that when Jiang Wang went to Delu Palace to meet the emperor, the prince was also nervous. In other words, the prince deliberately showed this kind of nervousness - which is tantamount to saying that he now knows the truth about what happened back then.
On the surface, it seems that the prince chose to come at this time because he was urgently trying to increase his bargaining chip to fight against the political storm that might happen next.
But in fact, he did not choose to distance himself from the relationship or show that he had no knowledge of what happened back then. So this bargaining chip was actually given to the queen!
Is there anything that can be criticized harshly for a prince who has made no mistakes for many years and has now even made up for his shortcomings in spiritual practice?
This is a mother's responsibility.
A prince of the East Palace who has exceeded the life limit is already qualified to provide some support to the queen...
But this may be exactly what the emperor wants to strike.
Jiang Wang had no idea how the emperor would beat the prince. But it was obvious that he had offended the prince very severely this time.
Instead of staying in Linzi and waiting for trouble to come, it would be better to escape while the emperor is settling old matters and the government and the public are silent. By the way, he fulfilled his earlier agreement with Zuo Guangshu and met the heroes of Chu. Also go to the mountains and seas to experience the elegance of Huang Weizhen, who is famous in history.
There are many old friends in Linzi city, so if you don't say goodbye, you will be hurt.
Perhaps many friends will feel that he was forced out of Linzi, and he may feel aggrieved and in pain. But on the contrary, he walked very openly.
The mind is clear and clear.
Have a clear conscience and ask yourself without regrets.
He made a choice he will never regret in this life.
The official path may be able to speed up his practice in a short period of time, but in the long run, he needs to recognize himself more clearly.
…
…
Seven days later.
Duanhun Gorge, rocky valley, the wind howls.
Jiang Wang sat on the stone platform hanging on the cliff, looking up at the sky, letting his green shirt flutter.
In a sense, personal knowledge is not the narrow space that blocks the field of vision. Who in this world is not looking at the sky?
The wind passing through the canyon brought a figure wrapped in a black robe.
He flew up to the stone platform in a few steps and stood next to Jiang Wang, but keeping a certain distance, complaining: "Why did you choose this damn place to meet?"
Jiang Wang smiled: "I said we would contact you through Taixu Illusion Realm, but you didn't dare. Nowadays, there are too many eyes in Qi State. I am familiar with this place and it is very safe."
"It's not like you are next to Tian Anping, of course you have nothing to fear. For Tian Anping, the illusory realm is too... Anyway, I don't trust the confidentiality. I need to be responsible for myself!" Tian Chang was still wearing a black robe even though he was wrapped in it. The hood also subconsciously stood in the corner of the stone platform, hiding itself: "If you have something to urgently see me about, tell me quickly!"
Jiang Wang looked back at him, still with a smile on his face: "With your wisdom, couldn't you have imagined it?"
Tian Chang lowered his voice and said very unhappily: "If I were wise, I wouldn't be manipulated to death like this by you!"
"Your attitude is wrong." Jiang Wang stopped his smile and said quietly: "Why is it developing so well now? Is there anything new to rely on?"
"I'm begging you, I can't disappear for too long." Tian Chang changed his tone of apology and said, "Whatever problem you have, let's solve it as soon as possible. As long as I know, I can tell you everything."
Jiang Wang knew that this man was a poisonous snake that should not be underestimated, and did not want to force him too much, so he took advantage of the situation and asked directly: "Did Tian Anping kill Uriel?"
Tian Chang was indeed prepared for this question: "Don't you already have the answer?"
"Isn't he unable to leave Jicheng City?"
"But Uriel can go to the city."
As for why Uriel went to Jicheng...
Wanling frozen snow is the answer.
Uriel has been pursuing the case of Concubine Lei for so many years. Once he gets clues about Wanling Rongxue, no matter how dangerous the place is, he may have to go and see it for himself.
"Understood." Jiang Wang nodded and asked, "Then why was Uriel's body left behind?"
"I don't know either." Tian Chang shook his head: "But I think there are about two possibilities."
"Which two?"
"First, if Uriel is missing, there will be an investigation, but if he is dead, there will be no investigation."
Once Uriel, a former green card myth, disappears, both emotional and logical reasons will trigger an investigation. But after he died, his body was clearly placed there, so no one would check...
Because anyone who is qualified to investigate can probably guess who the murderer is working for.
Those who are willing and courageous to investigate will not wait until now.
"It's very reasonable." Jiang Wang said, "What about the second possibility?"
Tian Chang said in an unspeakable tone: "Maybe it's to give you clues."
Jiang Wang was so excited by these words that he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give us the clue?"
"I just guessed that it was possible, but I can't think of the reason." Tian Chang sighed: "Do you think if Tian Anping's behavior could be deduced using logic, he would still be so crazy?"
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Sure enough, you know Tian Anping better."
Tian Chang said with a sigh: "It's just to live longer."
"I've finished asking my questions." Jiang Wang said.
"Then I'll go first." Tian Chang took a few steps forward, then suddenly paused and said, "Actually, I also have a question to ask you."
Jiang Wang looked at him: "Let's talk and listen."
"The Eleventh Prince also went to Daze County in person earlier, but later stopped, so he should have put this matter aside. Including later, the Ninth Prince also deliberately went to the Seven Stars Valley Secret Realm, but searched for clues everywhere in the city..." Tian Chang said: " I heard that you have a close relationship with the Eleventh Prince, why would you go against his last wish? "
Jiang Wang didn't know the reason why Jiang Wuxie went to Seven Star Valley that time until today!
So that time Tian Anping suddenly appeared in Seven Star Valley, I'm afraid it was not just for the Tian family's defeat in the Hidden Star World.
Under that rather fierce secret realm competition, there was such an undercurrent. Sure enough, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to understand some things even if they are played out in front of you.
Unfortunately, it was not clear at the time whether Tian Anping and Jiang Wuxie had any secret confrontation.
Jiang Wang's thoughts raced in his mind, and he only said: "I respect the last wish of His Highness Eleven. But Lin Kuang was a loyal man for the country, and his posthumous name should not be 'commit suicide out of fear of blame'."
Tian Chang said "Oh", probably disapproving of it.
"Lord Jiang is indeed a role model for my generation." He left such a sentence and jumped off the high cliff.
The wind whistled, and the clothes fluttered.
Jiang Wang sat alone on the high platform for a long time, and finally only sighed.
Even if he was a madman, he should have what a madman wants... What does Tian Anping want?
...
...
It is difficult to plan a good route from Broken Soul Gorge to Chu.
Jiang Wang still planned to go through Muguo, bypass Tianmayuan, cross the long river, go to Yunguo to see An'an, and then go south to Chu-if the demon communication had not happened at that time, then he should have been practicing in Chu during this period.
The reason for taking a long detour instead of directly passing Xingyueyuan, crossing the long river, and entering the South Region was certainly not because of concerns about Jingguo or Xiaguo, but mainly to see Rucheng and An'an.
After the sin of demon communication was washed away, he now has no problem walking through Jingguo, not to mention just walking under the eyes of Jingguo.
Now Jing State has massively increased its troops in Sheng State, and Sheng State is also mobilizing troops from all over the world.
The army of Mu State also marched into Liyuan City one after another.
Seeing that a war between hegemonic countries is inevitable, but no one knows when the horn of the first charge will be blown.
Zhao Rucheng is in Liyuan City, and Jiang Wang is naturally worried.
Among the five sworn brothers back then, Rucheng is the youngest and the laziest and pampered, and has always been taken care of by his brothers.
Although we now know that he is a descendant of the Qin Dynasty and has noble blood, he was mostly hiding his strength at that time, but he can't change the habit of worrying about him...
However, Jiang Wang's plan still failed.
The war is imminent, and martial law has long been imposed around Liyuan City, and it is impossible to get close.
He wanted to send a message to his fifth brother, but his name as Lord Jiang of Daqi is really not useful in Mu Sheng. No one paid attention to him, and he almost aroused the suspicion of several scouts.
Before causing more trouble, he had to leave first.
Such a war between two hegemonic countries was enough to affect the entire world. The death of a few gods was not worth mentioning. The death of a real person was probably just a passing mention. Relatively speaking, he, a cultivator in the outer building realm, was as small as dust.
Apart from sighing in the distance, he could do nothing.
So he buried his head and hurried on his way.
This time he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Reading, hurrying on the road, practicing.
Crossing the grassland at the fastest speed, then passing the Wo country, crossing the long river, and quietly came to the Yun country.
When he left the Yun country, it was still the autumn of the 3919th year of the Dao calendar.
At that time, he was full of ambition and was going to go to the Chu country to help Zuo Guangshu, and shamelessly said that he would help Xiao Guangshu break through the Shanhai Realm.
Turning around, he was hit hard by reality. The name of Tongmo, the killing of the demon, the battle of Yuheng, the battle of Xingyueyuan, the death of Jiang Wuqi...
Life seemed to be cruelly pulled for a while, and finally returned to the beginning.
But after all, it is not the beginning.
Now I am back, it is the spring of the 3920th year of the Taoist calendar.
Just a few seasons, it feels like a lifetime ago.
