Chapter 1937 Is the World Such a Cramped Place?

"Jiang Wang." Qi Tianzi's voice seemed to fall from Jiutian: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid of death, so scared!" Jiang Wang said: "I still have a lot of things to do, I still have a lot of worries in this world, I still owe a lot...a lot!

"If you want to return to Yuanhai now, I won't be willing to do so!

"But I don't know why, but I have a kind of belief in Your Majesty. People say that the Tian family is ruthless, and people say that the emperor is merciless, but I always feel that the emperor treats me very kindly and treats me with sincerity. I will repay the emperor with sincerity!

“I once heard, ‘If you are entangled in all kinds of ways, you will become a devil, and if you are unwilling to do so, you will be imprisoned!’.

"How can a stupid person like me deceive myself and others? It's okay to deceive for a while, but it's okay to deceive for a lifetime? It's okay to deceive the heart, but it's okay to deceive the king?

"Your Majesty, I have realized that my path is not here, not in the national system. After leaving Qi, I will not join any other country. From now on, the world is far away, and I am alone in seeking the truth."

"It's so good that you become a devil by being entangled in every possible way, and you will be imprisoned if you are unwilling to do so!" Emperor Qi touched his palms and said, "I didn't know that you were so unwilling in Qi!"

"Your Majesty." Jiang Wang kept bending down and did not straighten up: "The reason why I am unwilling is not that Your Majesty has not treated me well, nor that the country of Qi is not great enough. The reason why I am unwilling is that Your Majesty has treated me too well, and I cannot fully repay him. !

For your majesty's grand plan, I am willing to take up the sword and bathe in blood, and I will endure thousands of wounds without retreating. But I have three thousand soldiers, two hundred guards, and the commander of my bodyguard Fang Yuanyou... When I parted, I was deeply saddened. Killing Chen Zhitao would benefit the country, but I wanted to save him. It is said that the surrender of Zhu Biqiong is beneficial to the country, but I dare not face it.

Your Majesty treats his ministers with the utmost sincerity and without mercy. I really want to devote myself wholeheartedly to His Majesty's great cause, and I will do anything and everything. But Chen...can't do it! "

In the huge Delu Palace, everything was frozen. Only Jiang Wang's voice was still beating.

Everyone in the world will show their loyalty in front of the emperor. They will all say that they are willing to die for the sake of the emperor and the country. Some of them are true, some of them are not.

But there shouldn't be another person who would speak out in front of the emperor, saying that he couldn't do anything for the emperor's life.

How stupid!

Qi Tianzi said slowly: "I believe this is what you mean, but I'm afraid it's not the whole story."

Jiang Wangdao: "My heart is open and your Majesty can see it at a glance."

"Really... insensitive! Ignorant! Little knowledge! I asked you to study, I asked you to read history. What did you read?" Emperor Qi picked up a jade cup next to him and smashed it to Jiang Wang. Before: "You read it into the dog's belly!"

Snapped!

The jade chips exploded evenly, and a flower spread out on the ground. The water in the broken cup is like a river, and the tea leaves are like a boat. Winding, swaying.

Han Ling's eyelids jumped.

This Xinghe Cup is the emperor's favorite tea cup. All tea with morning dew is drunk from it.

Now that it is broken here, we can see his anger.

But even so, he did not kill Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang remained silent and just lowered his head.

Emperor Qi looked at him quietly for a while and said: "Stand up. Is the world so cramped that you can't stand up straight?"

Jiang Wang then straightened up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you!" Emperor Qi sneered: "Everything you have gained in Qi State, you have put in corresponding efforts. Your achievements cannot be erased, and our vast Eastern Kingdom can also allow people in the world to come and go freely. , there is no shortage of you Jiang Wang. But you can’t just let go of the honor and honor that Qi has given you.”

Jiang Wangdao said: "I know that I am reckless, stubborn and short-sighted, which will hurt the emperor's heart. I also mourn for it! I am willing to accept any punishment in order to be comforted in case of emergency."

"I have the world under my control, and you are not the only one, Jiang Qingyang!" The emperor waved his sleeves: "Fight a fight with the champion. If you win, I will let you go without worries. If you lose... I will cut off your title and seize it. Your position, your fiefdom will be removed, and you will be sent to prison to reflect!"

"Can."

"I haven't told you the rules yet."

"Your Majesty has a single mind and is naturally impartial. No matter what the rules are, I will accept them."

"Are you still a vassal?"

"At least for now."

"No more surrender?"

"I regard His Majesty as an elder. Although he is no longer in court, he is still in my heart."

"There is only one rule." Emperor Qi said: "You can't kill him because he is a prince of Da Qi... He can kill you because you don't want to be a prince anymore!"

Jiang Wang bowed deeply: "Jiang Wang has no regrets even if he dies!"

"Go and proclaim the champion." The emperor said, "Tell him that I want him to go all out and kill him."

Han Ling bowed and took the order and went out.

He walked out of Delu Palace and walked to the tall pillars. He supported the pillars with his hands and was able to breathe. After waving, Xiao Huangmen, who was not far away, came over.

"Did you hear what His Majesty said?"

Xiao Huangmen moved his stiff body, took a step forward, almost stumbled, and simply knelt on the ground: "Chief Admin, you all... heard it."

"Send the eunuchs to accompany you..." Han Ling said this and paused: "Who is Bingbi?"

Xiao Huangmen took out the name list from his pocket and searched hurriedly for a while before saying, "The ones on duty today are Manager Qiu Ji and Manager Zhong Liwen."

"What a coincidence." Han Ling thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let Qiu Ji deliver the order."

The reason why he said "coincidentally" was because it was Qiu Ji and Zhong Liwen who held the seals when Marquis Wu'an and Marquis Champion received their titles. Today, the two marquises were fighting each other, and the eunuch Bingbi who was on duty happened to be two good friends with each of them.

As for who to deliver the decree, it was obviously Han Ling's choice.

Sometimes I have to sigh, what a coincidence!

Xiao Huangmen kept the emperor's words in mind, lowered his head, stood up, and went straight to the imperial study. He found Qiu Ji and Zhong Liwen sitting in the same room respectively, practicing calligraphy over and over again.

He glanced vaguely, and what he saw seemed to be a "drunk stamp".

Wu Zu's drunken writings discussed the situation in the world and made waves.

It is absolutely normal for eunuchs to write the characters of emperors of all dynasties.

"What are the orders from Manager Han?" Qiu Ji asked first.

Xiao Huangmen recited the emperor's oral instructions, not daring to add a word or missing a word.

"I know." Qiu Ji put down the brush in his hand calmly, stood up and left the imperial study.

It was his shift today, and he was wearing the official uniform representing the eunuch Bingbi. There was no need to make any other preparations. He went to get the travel jade token and left the palace.

The place where Chongxuan Zun went was easy to find, Fusheng Wine House.

Many people know that the place where Zhongxuanzun goes most often is Yundu Restaurant, which is known as "the first restaurant in Linzi to talk about wine."

Of course, that place is now owned by Chongxuan Sheng.

After the property rights were given to Chongxuan Sheng, the champion would often go drinking, which shows that he really likes it...

After Yundu Restaurant, there is Fusheng Restaurant.

This wine house was the work of Linzi's distinguished man Chongxuan. When it first opened, a large group of celebrities were invited to stand up. Two months after the official opening of the restaurant, it was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management.

In the end, it was taken over by a mysterious villain who spent huge sums of money. Uncle Chongxuan asked someone to settle the accounts, and finally made some money. He was ambitious and prepared to create another glory, but he thought that opening a store was a troublesome thing after all, so he forgot about it.

The uncle is too lazy to earn hard-earned money.

Of course, this tavern went round and round, and finally fell into the hands of Chong Xuanzun.

Therefore, many people secretly say that it should be called Fusheng wine bag...

Qiu Ji left the palace, got on the carriage, and went straight to Fusheng Wine House. When the carriage arrived at its destination, those who needed to communicate had already been communicated in advance. He went upstairs to the drinking room dedicated to Wang Yiwu and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in." Wang Yiwu's cold and arrogant voice sounded.

Qiu Ji gently opened the door and saw the two people drinking together.

Wang Yiwu sat upright and straight, his military uniform was crisp and without any creases. The wine glasses and flasks in front of him are also arranged neatly. As you can imagine, every time he raises a glass and puts it down, the bottom of the glass is in the same position, exactly the same.

But Zhong Xuanzun, who was dressed in white, was sitting carelessly against the wall, holding a wine bottle in one hand and drinking from his head. Even when Qiu Ji came in, he didn't ask him to stop.

The Adam's apple is beating vigorously, and drinking is like swallowing the sea.

"Your Majesty has an oral message." Qiu Ji said.

Zhong Xuanzun drank the last drop of the silver wine flask, shook it again, and after confirming that he had drank it completely, he put the empty wine flask aside. He said drunkenly: "Xuan!"

The smell of alcohol belonging to 'Qianqiu' was so strong that it seemed to ignite the air.

As a eunuch with a pen, he was ordered to go out of the palace to deliver an edict. Although this edict was not as formal as an imperial edict, the champion's posture was indeed a bit more casual.

Qiu Ji turned a blind eye and just said: "Your Majesty ordered the champion to enter the palace immediately and fight with Wu Anhou in front of the emperor."

'Qianqiu' is really a first-class liquor, and Zhong Xuanzun's roots are all flushed with wine, which further weakens his aloofness. There is a rare mystery in the cold star-like eyes.

He just leaned against the wall and said drunkenly, "You were fine before entering the palace. Why is it that... Your Majesty is so elegant?"

"Marquis Wu'an, please resign..." Qiu Ji only said this, and then said: "His Majesty emphasized that the champion should go all out and kill the enemy."

After hearing this, Wang Yiwu, who was sitting as if made of iron, also frowned into the character "Chuan", showing that he could not understand Jiang Wang's decision no matter what.

Zhong Xuanzun didn't say much, he just sighed inaudibly, put his hands on the ground, stood up, and staggered out: "Let's go!"

"Can I watch the battle, Eunuch Qiu?" Wang Yiwu asked from behind.

"No." Qiu Ji nodded to him as a farewell, then turned around to lead the way for Chong Xuanzun.

Wang Yiwu sat quietly for a moment, feeling the smell of alcohol. As a soldier, serving the army and the country is a choice engraved in his bones. He could not understand Jiang Wang's decision, but he knew how much courage this decision required. The duel between Chong Xuan Zun and him was by no means just a martial arts exercise. The emperor's request to kill someone must not be just a matter of words.

After thinking about it, he got up, walked to the window sill on the second floor and looked out, just in time to see Zhong Xuanzun getting into the carriage, with only the hanging curtain still fluttering gently.

Just as he was about to look away, a hand reached out from under the car curtain and waved it gently, indicating that he didn't need to worry and just sit back. By the way, I caught a ray of light and put it back into the carriage.

Please resign in front of the Hall of Marquis Wu'an.

The champion entered the palace drunk.

Two great Qi military heroes are about to face off in front of the imperial court, and this time the imperial twins will decide whether to live or die.

Although the news was forbidden to spread, it still grew wings and quickly reached the ears of qualified listeners. Suddenly it spread to Linzi, and everyone who heard about it was shocked!

…

In the Bowanghou Mansion.

Fourteen opened his innocent and dazed eyes: "Why... is he leaving suddenly?"

"Is it sudden?" Zhong Xuansheng squeezed into the special big chair and pressed his forehead with a headache: "He has had this idea for a long time."

"Why didn't he ask you first? It feels... very dangerous now." In Shili's heart, Chong Xuan Sheng is omnipotent. No matter what knots Jiang Wang had in his heart that couldn't be solved, Chong Xuansheng always had a way to solve them.

"Don't feel it, it's just very dangerous. He has already reached the cliff ropeway, and there are abyss to the left and right. If he makes a wrong step, he will be doomed." Chongxuan Sheng sighed: "And this is the reason why he didn't come to ask me. He knows I can stop him... He has made up his mind."

"Then what's the reason?" Fourteen became more puzzled: "Can't we just leave?"

"Where do we start with this..." Chongxuan Sheng lay down on his back and looked at the sky: "During Fayang, my uncle was the commander in chief. He was just a disciple of the Chongxuan family and a mere disciple of Tenglong Realm, but he actually stopped him with words. Uncle killed Jiang and said that those surrendered soldiers of Jiacheng City were his prisoners. He had promised to spare those people from death... You must know that he was facing a fierce butcher! At that time, uncle did not know who he was. Who would care about the Tenglong realm monk who had just arrived in Qi and had yet to prove himself? He himself cared about his promise.

"He was also confused during the Battle of Xia. I convinced him that you were also there. During that war, we were very restrained, almost no innocent civilians were harmed, and we didn't kill even once. I actually didn't care. How to win, but I care about how he feels.

"It's just that the world doesn't revolve around him, Jiang Wang, and not everyone cares about his feelings. What happened in the Mysterious World this time is not the first time, nor will it be the last. The further we go, the more conflicts there become. Big. The higher he goes, the less he can turn around.

"But why did I persuade him again and again instead of persuading him to leave earlier? Because staying in Qi is the most beneficial choice for him, provided he knows how to choose. We all have a soft heart from the beginning. Rolling through the gravel, my heart slowly became as strong as iron. I was waiting for his heart to be armored, waiting for him to become a true high-ranking member of the empire and be able to face everything he shouldered more calmly, but he couldn't bear it anymore. .

"You may say that he doesn't know the heights of the world, or you may say that he has a lack of brains. He is just such a person. He always has some... inappropriate stubbornness. He is incompatible with this world."

Fourteen seemed to understand, but she was very concerned about Jiang Wang, her friend: "What should we do now? How can we help him?"

"It's useless to do anything now." Chong Xuansheng sighed: "We can only wait here for the result."

He slowly held Fourteen's hands, letting each other's heartbeats be heard.

"In your heart, your husband is the smartest man in the world, and he must be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. But sometimes, the best of both worlds... doesn't exist."
