Chapter 1536 The Righteous Path of the World Is Vicissitudes

At this time, Mr. Jiang had no idea that the secret arts he had just learned were all "stolen goods".

With the friendship of the old monk Kujue in mind, he simply learned about the two secret arts, and then returned to Qi on his own while thinking about it.

In the scope of the Eastern Region, he certainly did not need to hide his tracks, and he could practice secret arts while flying freely, without having to worry about whose territory he flew over or whose dignity he would offend - this was the status of Qi in the Eastern Region, and it was also the dignity he had gained after struggling in Qi for so long.

In the previous letter from Chong Xuansheng, a big thing was mentioned.

It was said that the Military Affairs Hall had officially written a letter requesting to raise an army to attack Xia.

This letter of request for war was written by the Grand Marshal of the State, and signed by five commanders of the Nine Soldiers.

And the Emperor of Qi... personally approved it with his own hand, and had already pressed the seal of the Emperor!

That is to say, when the war between Jing and Mu broke out and entered the most intense level, Qi, the beast of war, had already bared its fangs and pointed its spearhead at Xia, intending to complete the unfinished cause of the Qi-Xia hegemony!

Just as at the end of the Qi-Xia hegemony, Jing set up Yitian Temple in Xia, which was regarded as a sign of the end of the war.

It started from Qi Tianjiao winning the battle of Xingyueyuan, making Jing sign the Xingyue Agreement and abolishing Yitian Temple.

Everyone also knew that this war would come sooner or later.

This attack on Xia is very different from the last time the Chunsi Army rushed to Jianfeng Mountain.

The biggest difference is of course the purpose.

Last time, the emperor of Qi made a move to teach Xia a lesson, and at the same time smashed the entire chessboard, forced the hidden Equality Kingdom to come out, and diverted the internal contradictions of Qi.

Of course, now it can be seen as a preview of this battle, which is almost a big military exercise to set back Xia’s spirit.

In this battle, the Emperor of Qi was not satisfied with just teaching the Xia Kingdom a lesson.

The battle that year established the qualification of the overlord of Qi, which was the greatest military merit of the Emperor of Qi's life, and it was a great achievement that made him equal to the Taizu of Qi and Emperor Wu of Qi in the ancestral temple.

But he failed to swallow the Xia Kingdom completely, which was a flaw in the perfect jade, and became an indelible regret in his heart.

At that time, the Jing Kingdom was powerful, and even he, Jiang Shu, had to avoid the edge.

Now, after accumulating national strength for more than 30 years, he has completely secured the position of overlord.

Looking forward, he completely defeated the so-called nine countries of the rising sun that inherited the old Yang Empire, either destroying them or accepting their tribute. He dominated the East Region, and there was no one to resist.

Looking overseas, he made steady progress in the offshore islands and became the absolute main force of the human race in the battlefield of the maze, which made it difficult for Diaohailou to survive. After finally pulling out a Zhenhai League, he had to cede power to Qi. A list of sea merits was erected, which made the pride of Qi famous.

Eliminating hidden dangers and suppressing conflicts among all parties, the Emperor of Qi controlled the military and political affairs with one hand, holding the eight handles in his palm.

Looking at the world, he said that he would teach Xia a lesson, and he conquered Jianfeng Mountain in one fell swoop. He said that he would participate in the Yellow River Conference, and he took down the Yellow River leader in the 3919th year of the Taoist calendar.

Behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters, the elite of Qi Jiuzu made the world know.

Surrounding the reputation of Qi Tianjiao Jiang Wang, there was also a hidden battle between Qi and Jing under the water. The final outcome was that the Taoist Zhuangguo suffered the consequences, and the Sanxing Palace returned the name to Qi Tianjiao.

In Xingyueyuan, he even won the battle between Qi Jing Tianjiao!

Such a Qi State... is of course qualified to have more ambitions.

Yitian Temple is a strategic-level military equipment of Taoism, which can deploy high-end military forces at the fastest speed, and even draw in the power of the three holy places of Taoism. When Yitian Temple in the territory of Xia was built, Qi immediately withdrew its troops!

Jing State now abolished Yitian Temple, which means it completely gave up its interests in Xia State, so as to avoid war with Qi State and Mu State on both sides.

Because the battle of Xingyueyuan had shown them the strength and determination of Qi State. Even the strongest Jing in the world must be sufficiently cautious about the current situation in the world.

The Emperor of Qi sent Cao Jie to the grassland to help Mu State seize Liyuan City, just for today.

The first strategic goal of Mu State's attack on Sheng State was to defeat Jing State and spread the glory of Cangtu God beyond the grassland. The secondary strategic goal was to break the steel knife of the first vassal state of Daomai and open the door to the south.

They were tired of accompanying Sheng State to bleed year after year, and the days when the horses' hooves could never step out of the grassland!

Qi State wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Jing Mu's battle to expand its territory to the south and build military honors again.

Once this strategic concept was completed, Qi State immediately became a behemoth spanning the two regions of the southeast, and its future potential was immeasurable.

These were all in the open, and no one could hide it from anyone.

The war that Qi and Jing forced Xiang and Xu to start in Xingyueyuan was a kind of sand table deduction between each other, and a test of each other's trump cards.

Qi forced Jing to give up Xia on the condition of giving up the alliance with Mu.

Jing was arrogant as the strongest country in the world, and they did not lack the confidence to fight on two fronts. To give up Xia, they had to test Qi's weight, so there was the battle of Xingyueyuan.

From the perspective of Emperor Qi, this test was also what he wanted. If Jing still maintained its strength to dominate the world and surpass other countries, he could only temporarily give up his ambitions for Xia.

If Jing showed that it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it was already a state of withering inside, then he would have to join forces with Emperor Mu to divide the huge and fertile land of the Central Region first.

Although Jing was defeated in the battle of Xingyueyuan, Jing Tianjiao showed his style after all, and there was no shortage of talents.

Therefore, it was only natural for Jing to abandon Xia and Qi to attack Xia.

The tacit understanding between the two sides was reached before the war began.

Even so, in order to prevent Jing from breaking the agreement, Qi postponed the war again and again, until the Jingmu War broke out.

The strategic goal of this attack on Xia was to wipe out Xia's country and gain a firm foothold in the southern region.

The scale was far from comparable to the previous attack on Ming and Yang.

To destroy a big country, it is impossible to start from scratch and accomplish it overnight.

The manpower and material resources that need to be mobilized are difficult to estimate.

After the Battle of Xingyueyuan, Qi had already begun to prepare secretly. Only when the Jingmu War evolved to the most intense moment did it officially mobilize the whole country!

At this time, Jing could no longer withdraw.

There was nothing to worry about in the entire East Region and even the offshore islands.

Qi only needed to deal with Xia.

This was such an important war. On a larger scale, it was related to Qi's national destiny for the next hundred years! On a smaller scale, it was also related to the changes in Qi's domestic political landscape.

In the battle between Qi and Xia, how many families rose and fell? How many people rose and fell?

The past is not far away, and those who come later should know it.

Therefore, all the major families and famous families actively participated, and even changed the previous principle of not participating too many legitimate heirs in a war...

Li Fengyao and Li Longchuan of the Cuicheng Marquis' Mansion.

Bao Bozhao and Bao Zhongqing of the Shuofang Earl's Family.

Even Chong Xuansheng and Chong Xuanzun of the Bowang Marquis' Mansion...

All confirmed to participate in the war!

From noble sons of aristocratic families to ordinary people, from princes and ministers to a small soldier holding a spear, the people of Qi are not afraid of war!

This is the flag that the Qi emperor has set up for the people of Qi with one victory after another since he ascended the throne.

Wherever the Ziwei Zhongtian Taihuang flag points, the Qi people's blade will go.

Those who block it must be broken.

Chong Xuansheng hurriedly sent a letter to Jiang Wang to return because of the importance of this war.

And the reason why Jiang Wang came all the way east, asking for swords all the way, and at such a critical moment, he also madly improved himself and challenged the top outer building monks of the world's major sects one by one.

Because he knew that the direct competition between him and Chong Xuanzun was inevitable...

Since he first came to Qi, he knew who Chong Xuansheng's opponent was.

He must help Chong Xuansheng!

"Little kid!"

Jiang Wang suddenly heard such a shout while flying high in the sky.

He looked down from the clouds and saw only a pavilion standing on the top of the mountain, with a table of wine and meat in the pavilion.

A sturdy and handsome man with a broad face was sitting at the table drinking and eating meat, so generous.

Jiang Wang naturally recognized him. He was Gu Shiyi, the number one master of Zheng State, who had rescued him from the pursuit of the mysterious god of Pingdeng State!

This man has a very good reputation and is a first-class hero in the world. Born in the royal family of Zheng State, but not greedy for power, not taking the official road, relying on himself to become a real person in the world, chivalrous and courageous, often doing things to help the weak, and has the reputation of a hero in the world.

At that time, a slap made the mountains and rivers clear, and Jiang Wang still remembers it vividly.

He would never forget the life-saving grace.

Jiang Wang put away his thoughts and responded enthusiastically: "Senior Gu!"

Gu Shiyi looked up at him and waved: "Come down and have a drink!"

This is a barren mountain in Zhaoguo. There is no village in front and no shop behind. Why would a person like Gu Shiyi drink here?

With such a question, Jiang Wang flew down.

He bowed and said: "Since the last time we parted, Jiang has often remembered the style of the senior. I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really a surprise!"

Gu Shiyi wore a black and gold imperial robe, sat with a big horse and a golden sword, and waved his hand: "There is no need to say these pieces of soup!"

This person is really too direct.

Of course, he, Gu Shiyi, has the capital to be unscrupulous.

Jiang Wang smiled bitterly and asked, "Why is Senior Gu here?"

Gu Shiyi said, "I was drinking with someone here. That person left, but I'm still not satisfied. If you don't mind the cold soup, drink a few jars with me!"

Jiang Wang looked at the table and saw that it was indeed full of food, and the cups and plates were in a mess.

Across from Gu Shiyi, there was a set of used tableware, piled with clean bones, spilled wine, etc. But the person was not there, and the seat had been cold for a while.

The wine was fragrant, and some jars were still sealed with mud, and the fragrance kept pouring out.

"It's only right for me to drink a few bowls with you." Jiang Wang sat down next to Gu Shiyi, picked up a jar of wine, broke the seal, took a clean porcelain bowl, and poured himself a full bowl.

"I'll toast you three bowls first, to thank you for your help last time!"

He picked up the wine bowl and was about to drink it all.

But Gu Shiyi stretched out his hand to stop him.

This person has been drinking here for an unknown period of time, and the strong smell of alcohol on his body seems to be thick.

The eyes of the living master are also a little tipsy.

He looked at Jiang Wang, his attitude was clear: "I said that it is a small favor, no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, you don't have to drink this wine. If you want to accompany me to have fun, you can drink this wine!"

"Then don't say it, just remember it in your heart!" Jiang Wang said: "But Jiang Wang has important things to return to the country in a hurry. It's okay to drink a few bowls with the senior, but you have to drink to your heart's content... I'm afraid I can't do it this time."

Gu Shiyi let go of his hand and looked at him with a little tipsy: "It's so difficult to ask you to drink. You don't respect me very much!"

Jiang Wang sat upright, very proud, but his tone was very humble: "In this turbid world, it is difficult for this body to be free. I hope the senior will understand. If I agree lightly, and then see that the senior has to drink for four or five days before he can have fun, and then find ways to find reasons to leave, that would be disrespectful to the senior."

"Hahahaha." Gu Shiyi laughed: "The little doll is sincere and cute, he is a wonderful person!"

Even though Gu Shiyi looks like he is only in his forties, his actual age is already over two hundred years old. There's nothing awkward about calling Jiang Wang a "baby".

He just picked up the bowl and said, "I'll give you a bowl, senior!"

The two clinked their wine bowls and each drank a gulp.

Jiang Wang felt a stream of hot air, burning from his throat to his heart. What a strong drink!

No wonder even a real person like Gu Shiyi was tipsy.

After the heat burned through my lungs, it left only a burning pain and a sense of relief.

"Come again?" Gu Shiyi had an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Without saying a word, Jiang Wang moved the wine jar again, first filling it for Gu Shiyi, and then filling it for himself.

So he touched the bowl again and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the bowl went down, the air flow that had subsided before unexpectedly rushed up again. The two alcoholic odors collided, and in an instant, the whole body was full of drunkenness!

"Okay! He is a happy man!" Gu Shiyi casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, picked up the wine jar himself, and wanted to pour wine for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang quickly stopped him: "Senior, how did this happen?"

"What can't you do?" Gu Shiyi pushed his hand away, filled two bowls happily, and said: "Don't go to senior, senior. There is no big or small thing on the wine table, so just call me." Brother Gu!”

The wine is good, but also quite intoxicating.

But what about Brother Gu, Gu Shiyi dared to listen, how dare Jiang Wang shout?

He couldn't help but say with a grimace: "You are so old and virtuous, how dare I not be too old or too young? Senior, please don't worry about the title. Let me say it as I please."

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Shiyi waved his hand and said impatiently: "In this way, since a certain family is a few years older than you, then you can call a certain family Brother Gu, and a certain family can call you Brother Jiang!"

One or two hundred years older is also called "how many years older"?

"ah?"

While Jiang Wang was still stunned, Gu Shiyi had already hit him with a bowl: "Brother Jiang, come and drink!"

So he touched the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

This wine is meant to be drunk after a sip. The aroma of wine is increasing, and the feeling of alcohol lingers. It makes people feel more energetic the more they drink, and the more they drink, the more they want to drink.

After a few bowls, Jiang Wang was already drunk and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what kind of wine is this?"

Gu Shiyi looked at him sideways: "What do you call a certain family?"

The smell of alcohol seemed to hit his internal organs, his heart, and his mind.

In his drunken state, Jiang Wang blurted out: "Brother Gu!"

Relying on the drunkenness, Brother Gu shouted out, and he became much more natural in an instant: "This wine is really strong! What is its name?"

Gu Shiyi slowly filled up the wine and did not touch the bowl with Jiang Wang this time.

Just said: "Vicissitudes of life."

“The vicissitudes of life are the result of vicissitudes of life, and the righteous path of the world is the vicissitudes of life!”

He lifted the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

There was an indescribable look in his eyes.

It has been more than two hundred years since he was born in the direct line of the royal family and became famous at a young age, but he chose to abandon his country and become a king.

His experiences and stories are legendary.

Who can know his mood and longing?

In his life as a hero in the world, there must have been many regrets and many unforgettable memories. Let him slowly cherish his memory at a moment like this.

I can only remember him fondly.

Thanks to leader Lian Yun for the new alliance!

Thank you to everyone who has given me strength during this long journey.
