Chapter 1633: Going North with the Imperial Seal

"Qi Tianjiao is better than the world's Tianjiao."

This was Jiang Wang's bold statement in front of the Emperor of Qi.

At that time, the Emperor intended to let Jiang Wang serve as the Northern Court Commander, but Jiang Wang refused. The Emperor did not blame him, but only asked, how will you repay me.

Jiang Wang answered with this statement.

To this day, he has been awarded 3,000 households for his military merits. Looking at the world, there is no peer Tianjiao comparable to him. It can be said that he has achieved the bold statement at that time.

And his mission to the grassland with the imperial seal is to be the face of Qi.

Especially after Muguo lost the war with Jingguo and retreated to the North Territory. This time, the succession ceremony of the high priest of the Divine Crown of the Cangtu Temple has extraordinary significance.

The eyes of the whole world will fall on the grassland, waiting for the next move of the Queen of Muguo.

At this moment of great turmoil, the prestige of the East must not be lost.

Chongxuanzun and Jiang Wang are both good choices. Looking at the world, they will not be inferior to any peers. But since the emperor has appointed Jiang Wang, he must take some responsibility.

The one holding the talisman is the chief envoy of the Great Qi Empire, appointed by the emperor, and accompanied by the princess...

Jiang Wang's trip to Hengyang this time is very grand.

The Tianfu Army specially transferred two hundred people to serve as the ceremonial guard for Jiang Wang's mission, and each of them has the cultivation of Tenglong Realm.

When he went to the Yellow River Meeting with Ji Zhaonan and Chong Xuanzun, the ceremonial guard was just like this.

The only difference is that there were two captains of the inner court leading the army that time, but only one this time.

His name is Qiao Lin.

He was the Tianfu Army soldier who accompanied Jiang Wang to watch the game every day at Guanhetai and was keen to share all kinds of news with Jiang Wang.

From the Yellow River Meeting to now, he has also opened the inner court and become a captain in the Tianfu Army.

This time he was transferred to be Jiang Wang's bodyguard, commanding two hundred elite soldiers, and going on a mission to the grassland with him, which can be regarded as a reunion with old friends.

Even if two hundred Tianfu Army warriors formed a battle formation, it would be almost impossible to interfere with Jiang Wang's current battle, and the meaning of escort was almost zero.

But Jiang Wang represented the country on this trip, so the necessary ceremonial guards were still indispensable.

After bidding farewell to the farewell guests in Hengyang County, Jiang Wang sat alone in a special carriage for diplomatic missions with two hundred warriors on horseback, and headed north.

Everything in Linzi was peaceful, so there was nothing to worry about.

The newly appointed Hengyang County Magistrate Lou Zishan came to see him off for ten miles and said goodbye in the border town.

Today, Wu'an Hou is naturally the pride of Yangdi.

Among the three counties in Yangdi, Hengyang County, as the capital of the old Yang Kingdom, is far stronger than the other two counties. After Huang Yixing's death, Chiwei County Magistrate Gao Shaoling once sought to transfer the government to Hengyang, but because the Gao family of Linhai was not strong enough, he failed.

Unexpectedly, it was Lou Zishan who had the last laugh. He was not from a noble family, nor was he known to rely on any big shot. Jiang Wang had read the evaluation given by the Political Affairs Hall, which was "outstanding in internal affairs". Seeing that he was a person with superior talents, he also intended to make friends with him. He also contributed to the disappearance of Fourteen.

In addition, Tian Antai became a madman on the battlefield of the Xia War, so he could no longer serve as the governor of Rizhao County. This was considered a sacrifice for the country, and the court could not seize his power, so an elder of the Tian family succeeded him - Tian Chang had been seeking this position before, and made a lot of efforts for it, but failed to achieve his goal in the end.

It is said that he was the last candidate designated by Tian Anping.

Jiang Wang was not too clear about the details. After achieving Dongzhen, Tian Anping's voice in the Tian family obviously jumped again, and Tian Chang and Jiang Wang's contact became more cautious. After returning from the Xia War, there was almost no contact.

Jiang Wang did not mean that he had to use Tian Chang and Tian He to do something, but he was instinctively wary of a dangerous person like Tian Anping. Holding a few trump cards in hand, you can also feel more at ease.

This trip to Muguo is thousands of miles away. For Jiang Wang, it is still just a practice.

Except that Qiao Lin is really talkative and comes to Jiang Wang to tell some military anecdotes from time to time, there is almost nothing else.

Jiang Wang doesn't mind, just as a diversion on the way.

A few casual words will not affect the practice.

"The place we are walking now was very chaotic in the past, and it was called the Lying Cow Tomb. Zheng and Qu were fighting fiercely, and several small countries around were also disturbed. There are also many mountain bandits and robbers, all roaming here..." Qiao Lin said enthusiastically: "After the battle of Xingyueyuan, the two families have been much more peaceful. They always have to choose a side between our Qi and Jing."

It is not uncommon for a small team leader to explain the world situation to the current Wu'an Hou.

At the Yellow River Meeting, he also explained the battle to Wu'an Hou!

In other words, when Marquis Wu'an won the Yellow River, he also contributed, right?

Many people in the army still didn't believe it. Now that so many people have seen it, they will go back and slap them in the face one by one.

"Are you really going to fight?" Jiang Wang asked.

"Of course not! The dog's brain is about to burst." Qiao Lin vowed: "It's just that he is concerned about the attitude of us and Jingguo, otherwise Zheng and Qu would have been destroyed long ago."

As the undisputed high-level official of Qi, Jiang Wang certainly knows that Zheng and Qu have been fighting openly and secretly, and fighting for their own independence in a relatively fierce way.

But he did not mock Qiao Lin's ignorance, but said with interest: "Do you also know about the situation in Zheng?"

This place is now called Woniu'ao, and it is located between the two countries of Zheng and Qu. I don't know why it got its name. But it is true that it occupies an extremely large area, and it is also true that it has been in chaos for many years with the tacit consent of Zheng and Qu.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was half open. Qiao Lin took the driver's job, sat on the driver's seat, held the reins, and said confidently: "Hey. Zheng Guo, their king is really bad. Only when he is old and old can he rely on Shen Lin, who has barely achieved national power, has very unstable cultivation. It is impossible to transcend officialdom, and it is impossible to abdicate. To abdicate now is to reverse the cultivation, which will only consume the country's fortune. The civil and military ministers below are working hard to survive, but it is not enough for him... He is now 170 years old, and I don't know how many more years Zheng Guo can hang him."

Jiang Wang asked thoughtfully: "Isn't there a Gu Shiyi in Zheng State? He doesn't care?"

Speaking of Gu Shiyi, Qiao Lin also spoke with respect: "Gu Daxia has long said that he will ignore state affairs and will not take action unless he encounters a disaster that will destroy the country. The royal family of the Zheng Kingdom has a Gu Daxia, otherwise the current king will... He was dragged off his horse a long time ago.”

Gu Shiyi's reputation as a heroic hero spread far and wide, and even soldiers like Qiao Lin spoke of him with complete clarity.

Thinking of heroes, Jiang Wang also thought of Yan Shaofei, the hero of Wei. He was also a heartbreaking figure. Since that meeting on the Yellow River, I have never heard from him again, and I don’t know where he went.

It is not surprising that one day he will become famous all over the world again, or he will never appear in the ears of the world again.

The present world is grand and the history is vast.

How many heroes seem to shine for a moment, and how many of them can shine forever like the blazing sun?

Jiang Wang said casually: "Since this place is a bit messy, you should pay more attention."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis." Qiao Lin said: "The general has already arranged the situation, and the brothers are very alert."

Jiang Wang added: "The elite soldiers of Tianfu Army are the guards of honor. I don't think there will be many people who don't open their eyes to disturb us."

Of course Qiao Lin is proud of you.

He said cheerfully: "That's right! Our team of envoys from the Great Qi Empire don't dare to bring trouble to those little ones. The general will keep your car so tight that even flies can't fly over it. You can practice with peace of mind!"

Before he finished speaking, a sound suddenly sounded——

"Xu Zeming, the disciple of Taixu, please meet Jiang Wang, the envoy of Taixu!"

It was the envoy of Taixu who was summoned, not the Marquis of Wu'an of Qi State.

Jiang Wang looked out from the carriage and saw a young man, wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe, standing in front of the motorcade.

Xu Zefu, whom Jiang Wang had met before and was given the Taixu Corner Tower token, although he looked very different, there was only one word difference in his name, so he should be a fellow disciple of the same generation.

Its popularity is powerful and unfathomable, which can well reflect the heritage of the Taixu Sect.

Jiang Wang waved his hand, signaling to his entourage not to be on guard, and said loudly, "I'll ask the Taoist Commander to talk to you in the car."

Xu Zeming was not polite, he just took a step forward and squeezed into the carriage.

Compared with the calm and calm Xu Zefu, he is obviously much sharper.

Sitting opposite Jiang Wang in the spacious carriage, he raised his hand, lowered the curtain first, and blocked the sound, as if he wanted to discuss a secret.

Jiang Wang calmly picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and asked, "I wonder what the relationship between Taoist Xu Zefu and Your Excellency is?"

"He is my senior brother." Xu Zeming probably didn't want to mention Xu Zefu, so he just replied casually and said: "From now on, I will be the one to deal with you on matters related to Taixu Illusion Realm."

Jiang Wang asked: "Is there something wrong with Taoist Xu Zefu?"

Xu Zeming glanced at him: "Actually, whoever contacts you has no impact on you."

"This is just a word of concern for an old friend." Jiang Wang said with a smile.

Xu Zeming then said: "He suffered backlash when he created Taoism. He is still recovering from his injuries and will not be able to get out of seclusion for three to five years."

"In this way..." Jiang Wang sat with his hands folded, still with a slight smile on his face: "I remember that when I communicated with Mr. Zefu, I did not mention any follow-up matters. I am a stranger. , provided the materials and the place, built the Taixu corner tower, and thus obtained the ownership, that’s all, I don’t know why the leader came to visit today.”

Xu Zeming also felt the alienation in Jiang Wang's attitude, and said seriously: "Jiang Wang, please believe that I have no ill intentions towards you. The Taixu Illusion Realm is the greatest creation in the world, and it was born for the glorious future of the human race. One day "

Jiang Wang's smile was very calm: "I fully recognize the greatness of Taixu Illusion... But Mr. Xu, you haven't said you have anything to ask me about. This time I am fulfilling the national mission and going to the grassland, so I may not have much time to waste. ”

Xu Zeming also said: "Since the development of Taixu Illusion, a large number of monks have joined every day, covering almost all countries in the world, and a large number of problems have inevitably arisen. For example, some people who should not participate have participated. For example, someone disrupts the rules of Taixu Illusion through special magical powers; for example, some people do not join through Taixu Corner Tower or Yueyue, but adopt abnormal methods... These behaviors will affect the stability of Taixu Illusion. Adding a lot of unnecessary burdens to our work will affect the healthy operation of Taixu Illusion and the future of the human race in the long run.”

This is a man who is really used to grand narratives.

From a historical perspective, such people are often very dangerous.

"So?" Jiang Wang asked.

Xu Zeming sat meticulously and spoke in a serious tone: "Our Taixu Sect adheres to the principles of absolute impartiality and absolute neutrality and should not interfere too much in the Taixu Illusion Realm. At present, we are the participants who hope to promote the Taixu Illusion Realm. , solve these problems yourself.”

Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "How to solve it?"

"Our current plan is like this. Envoy, you can also refer to it and provide your opinions." Xu Zeming said: "We hope to create a Taixu Scroll that can deal with some problems and encounters that arise during the operation of the Taixu Illusion Realm. Some troubles encountered, and those who caused trouble... are recorded on it. Tasks are issued to all participants in Taixu Illusion in the form of rewards, so as to achieve a healthy autonomous cycle in Taixu Illusion. And because of this, we don’t interfere.”

"Sounds very good." Jiang Wang said: "Then why didn't you do this?"

"Because not everyone is like you, the messenger, who has a clear understanding of Taixu Illusion and its great significance." Xu Zeming said: "The operation of Taixu Illusion needs to be carried out under the supervision of all major forces in the world. . If we want to make any kind of adjustment, we need to get the approval of most forces, including the creation of Taixu Scroll."

Jiang Wang picked up the tea cup and said softly: "Then you are looking for the wrong person."

"I think I am not a confused person. I can still see something with these eyes." Xu Zeming looked at Jiang Wang with sincere eyes: "There is no doubt about the importance of Marquis Wu'an of Da Qi in Qi State. The political power you can mobilize The resources are there for all to see. We hope you can help promote this matter. Of course, we don't just invite you. You just need to express your attitude when discussing this matter in your country. We are willing to pay generous compensation for this. ”

"You?" Jiang Wang smiled: "I would like to ask, Mr. Xu, can you... represent the entire Taixu Sect?"

Xu Zeming said without hesitation: "Of course."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang said, "I will consider it."

Xu Zeming frowned: "But you haven't heard what the reward is yet."

Jiang Wang thought that he was already ignorant of the world, but this Xu Zeming was even better.

I don’t know how to serve tea to guests, and I don’t know how to speak politely.

Perhaps it's because they have been isolated from the world for too long, or because of the aloof status of the Taixu Sect, they are rarely rejected by others, so they don't understand rejections that are too tactful?

Jiang Wang had a headache. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the last communication between Mr. Zefu and I, as the Taixu Messenger, my only obligation is to build the Taixu Corner Tower and maintain the Taixu Corner Tower. I think I will do it." It's not bad. As for other things, they are not within my ability and are not my responsibility. I have my own things to do and I am sorry that I can't create greatness with you."

Xu Zeming looked at him in confusion, and his eyes slowly showed a somewhat hurt look: "Messenger, I have heard about your deeds, learned about your past, and have some knowledge of you. We all have good intentions for the world, we are all passionate about the future, we all have ideals, we are all sincere... I thought we should be of the same mind.”

"Maybe you don't know me well enough." Jiang Wang didn't intend to explain more. After saying this, he smiled and said, "The Taoist priest doesn't plan to go to Mu Country with me, does he?"

Xu Zeming looked at him deeply and said nothing more. He picked up the cup of tea poured for him, took a sip, and then put it down.

The whole person just became blurred and disappeared into the carriage.
