Chapter 1943: Don’t Forget Peace of Mind
"Young courage is so precious." The voice in the mirror suddenly sighed.
Zhuang Gaoxian did not admit that his courage was not as good as Jiang Wang's.
Of course, he could not be like Jiang Wang, blatantly break away from the national system, give up all the glory, face all the dangers alone, and only seek the freedom of holding the sword.
Of course, he was unwilling to give up everything he already had, go directly to the East Region, kill the man on the spot, and face all the consequences of this move. Even if he was much stronger than Jiang Wang.
But this has nothing to do with courage, it only depends on the determination of the two.
Jiang Wang wanted to kill him because he had a deep hatred in his heart and shouldered a blood feud. He wanted to kill Jiang Wang more just to eliminate the threat and eliminate the hidden danger. When he felt it was necessary, he would act without hesitation. When he thought it was not worth the loss, he would endure it silently.
But thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, isn't it the hesitation brought by the years?
"I think the real courage is the great cause we are doing." Zhuang Gaoxian said, "It is to persevere in the darkness even if no one understands."
"I am so glad that you agree with our ideals from the bottom of your heart." The voice in the mirror said in a tone that was not very happy, and then said, "What are you going to do now?"
Zhuang Gaoxian said, "First of all, the national defense formation of Zhuang State must be established as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we fail to deal with him, I will never have peace when he achieves Dongzhen."
The voice in the mirror said, "Of course we are not short of these resources, and we are happy to provide them to friends. But they need to be delivered slowly in a reasonable way, and no traces can be revealed. There are many more people watching us than you think."
The man in the mirror emphasized the current limitations of their organization. The one time they tried to erase the traces behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons was already a big risk.
Zhuang Gaoxian also stopped there, just resources.
As the emperor of a country and the lord of the revival of Zhuang State, he understood the relationship between benefits and costs very well. He was not willing to ask for too much from this terrible organization. He was also afraid that in the end, he would not be able to pay it back even if he spent all his wealth.
At this moment, he sat high on the lonely throne, looking down at the empty palace in front of him, and said without any emotion: "Before taking action, we must first find a way to get rid of Wu Bingyi's gaze. Last time he broke into the palace directly, his ill will towards me was too obvious."
"Wu Bingyi..." The voice in the mirror pondered the name for a while, and did not comment further.
Wu Bingyi would not have ill will towards Zhuang Gaoxian. In other words, in the eyes of this great master of the legal school, he never saw a specific person, but only focused on a certain thing. Whether it is legal or not, whether it is in accordance with the law.
As for how to get rid of the attention of the person in charge of the Judi Palace...
Starting from the duties of the Judi Palace is obviously a good choice.
When Wu Bingyi's eyes have to be cast somewhere, he will naturally relax his attention on the emperor of Zhuangguo.
For example... disaster.
Of course, this is by no means a simple thing. This is a game for the brave, and you must hold your head in your hand and walk on the edge of a knife.
The man in the mirror was looking forward to Zhuang Gaoxian's performance, and how this heroic ruler who ruled over the people would "do it cleanly". He liked cleanliness very much.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the palace.
The waves of the man in the mirror disappeared at the right time, and there was no back-up for observation, giving Zhuang Gaoxian enough privacy and respect. Of course, it should be said the other way around, that people like Zhuang Gaoxian would never allow themselves to live in the sight of others all day long.
The hoarse voice of the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department sounded outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the monk Kujue from the Hanging Temple in the Eastern Holy Land of Buddhism appeared outside Yinge City! We have negotiated with him many times, but he ignored it."
Zhuang Gaoxian once suspected that he had heard it wrong, and raised his head slightly on the dragon throne: "What?"
...
...
Han Ling had a Jiang Wang in his left hand and a Bai Yuxia in his right hand, flying across the mountains and rivers, and threw them out of the border.
"Is there anything I need to convey?" Han Ling asked lightly.
Jiang Wang bowed his hands: "Take care, General Manager Han."
Then he turned around and walked away.
Bai Yuxia followed him silently.
The figures of the two young men on the field were so upright, just like that, they went to the distant mountains without looking back.
He had seen Jiang Wang's first meeting with the emperor, and he had also seen Jiang Wang's final farewell to the emperor.
These few short years were more wonderful than many people's lives.
The master's ceremony, Donghua Pavilion, Ziji Hall, Delu Palace... There were many shadows, and in the end there were only two words: "Take care".
He didn't have any extra feelings for Jiang Wang. The emperor liked the sincerity and talent of this young man, appreciated his stubbornness and "insensitivity", so he also liked this young man, was respectful and polite to him, and gave him some advice when necessary. If the emperor let this person go, he would let this person go.
The torrent of the times promoted the young princes, engulfed him, and also consumed him. The power that swept everything, unless you were in it, you couldn't feel the difficulty of breaking free.
People are confused with the only one without knowing it. Just like Han Ling, when he was a child who was awakened by hunger every day, he never thought that he would become a part of this great empire one day.
He enjoyed the power he held, and the people who gave him all this were also clamped by the power in his hands. It is impossible to jump out in this life.
And Jiang Wangjin was able to jump out of the torrent, as if he did it easily.
He is free at this moment, but his back gives people a heavy feeling.
This world is often contradictory.
Han Ling stood quietly in Qi territory, looking into the distance, looking at Jiang Wang, his eyes even above Jiang Wang. The continuous mountain shadows seemed like the supreme dragon throne. The will of the sky was carried here.
For some reason, he felt that the mountain shadows were very lonely.
…
"Do you think he would suddenly catch up and kill you?" Bai Yuxia asked coldly.
Having lost the official status of Qi, he was naturally no longer covered by the Zhuhe Alliance, and could no longer fly across the East Region. Flying across other countries without invitation is a provocation.
Jiang Wang had already chosen the first place to stay after leaving Qi, which was Xingyueyuan between Xuguo and Xiangguo.
This place has been ownerless for a long time. Because it is closest to the starry sky, it has become a treasure land for practitioners to build external buildings, and it is also seen by Jingguo and Qiguo. The two hegemons are fighting here, and there is no room for a unified organization to grow, so it has no owner and has always been a mixed bag.
After the battle of Xingyueyuan, the Xiang people were completely expelled, and the monks of Xuguo were given the right to freely build a building here.
But this does not mean that Xingyueyuan was incorporated into the territory of Xuguo - Xuguo did not have the appetite, and Qi could not have eaten it at that time. Qi's most core demand at that time was still the abolition of Xiadi Yitianguan.
This large-scale Qi-Jing proxy war was just a prelude to the later Qi-Xia War and Jingmu War.
Xingyueyuan is still free, but the defeated Xiangguo monks are not free here.
The land of freedom is exactly what Jiang Wang chose, and of course the existence of Senior Guanyan is also a big factor.
If Zhuang Gaoxian came here without a reason, he could really be declared "headless" from then on. He will definitely take off this head with the help of Senior Guanyan.
But although Xingyueyuan is not far away, he and Bai Yuxia can only walk there now.
If he still flies recklessly as before, he, who has no official position and is free, will probably have to fly and fight all the way. Although I am not afraid, there is no need to do so.
"Why did he chase me and kill me?" Jiang Wang asked casually.
"Many stories are played like this. If you want to leave, he will let you go. Good birds choose trees. If you really leave, he will kill you halfway." Bai Yuxia said: "How can the emperor release the emperor's sword to the world?"
Jiang Wang said: "I am not worthy of the emperor's sword. The emperor's sword of the Great Qi Emperor is his ambition to swallow up the sun and the moon, his invincible courage, and his tolerance of the sea."
Bai Yuxia said: "Then you are always a handy sword."
Jiang Wang still shook his head: "I think I am sharp. But with the might of the Qi emperor, if he holds the sword, he will be the great marshal of the country. , it's Du Hou. I've counted the military hall, but it's not my turn to do it. "
Bai Yuxia looked back and said, "Okay, everyone has left, no need to do this anymore."
Jiang Wang seemed unaware and said as he walked, "Besides, the job of breaking the sword halfway you mentioned is not something that General Manager Han would do. In Qi, the night watchmen do this kind of work. The leader is Lord Zhu Sui."
Bai Yuxia stopped and his joking expression became serious: "Does Lord Zhu Sui you mentioned like to carry a white paper lantern?"
Looking at the hunchbacked old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Wang also stopped.
"Old Bai." He was quite melancholy: "Don't talk too much in the future."
Bai Yuxia felt very unconvinced: "Didn't you shout it out?"
In the battle of the maze, Zhu Sui's four bodies all died. One true god, two false gods, and the original body of Yan Dao sank forever in the blue sea. From then on, the future was cut off, and the only three clones left were false gods wandering at night.
Of course, even if it was just a false god wandering at night, with Zhu Sui's vision, it would be enough to suppress Jiang.
But the wrinkles on his face just stretched out slightly: "It's been a while since I last saw you, Marquis Wu'an."
"Not a few days actually..." Jiang Wang sighed: "Lord Zhu Sui, why are you here?"
"Don't get me wrong." The old man, who was no longer wearing a tattered fur hat and thus showing his gray hair, shook the lantern in his hand: "I just caught a few wandering souls who fled from their country, and I just happened to meet you when I came back."
"I won't be an enemy of Qi." Jiang Wang said seriously.
"That's your freedom." Zhu Sui opened his blind eyes and said slowly: "Now you are outside the territory of Qi, and it's not my turn to patrol. I'm old, and it's time to rest. I may not see you again in the future... Can I give you something?"
Jiang Wang didn't actually understand why Zhu Sui wanted to give him something, but the phrase "I'm old" made him a little sad.
"What are you going to give me, senior?" he asked.
Zhu Sui raised the lantern, and a bean-sized white flame flew out, floating in front of Jiang Wang.
"I once wanted you to accompany me to beat the night watch, but young people should stand under the sun. I once hoped that the night of Qi would be peaceful forever, but "forever" has a time limit for me. I felt lonely on countless nights, and more often, I felt love. I can't go further with Qi, and you chose to leave in advance. It's a farewell to you, young man. This is a little light I caught on the streets of Linzi at night... I give it to you, don't forget to feel at ease."
The golden Samadhi divine fire flew out and gently wrapped the bean-sized white flame.
"I will keep it well." Jiang Wang said.
Zhu Sui waved his hand, holding the white paper lantern, and walked towards the direction of Qi. When he passed by Jiang Wang, he said again: "Don't worry, I will tell you."
"What to tell?" Bai Yuxia asked after he left.
There was no reason for the Emperor of Qi to send two people to escort Jiang Wang at the same time, especially since they were Han Ling and Zhu Sui.
So Zhu Sui came by himself.
His arrival may be a warning, maybe a farewell, or maybe he is just passing by.
But Jiang Wang's footsteps actually became lighter.
"Nothing." He said, "Don't speak ill of Lord Zhusui."
Bai Yuxia is inexplicably pessimistic about the future.
When I say Shi Jiangwang, I mean holding your thigh, not carrying your weight. We've only walked a few steps, why do you have to rely on me for everything?
"What bad things did I say about him? If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known his name was Zhu Sui, right?"
…
…
In Delu Palace.
Ye Henshui, the thin-faced court official, had set up a desk alone and was sitting there, writing and answering questions. The pen is like a dragon and a snake, and it falls on the paper. The words are like leaping into the sky, and they are extremely gorgeous.
His writing style is called "Dragon Palace Garden" and his font is called "Zhangtai Liu". They were all pioneered by him and were extremely influential in the literary world of Qi.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he glanced up and saw Zhu Sui, a stooped figure, walking into the hall with a lantern.
One emperor and one courtier. Zhu Sui was an old minister of Emperor Wu of Qi, and a thousand years of night patrol seemed too long! He thought silently in his heart.
He just said: "Marquis Du requested that Huai Island be opened and a statue be erected on the Tianya platform to cherish the dragon fisherman forever. I have already prepared the memorial text you requested."
For ordinary articles, the eight pen-writing eunuchs in the palace are more than competent. Qiu Ji and his colleagues are quite knowledgeable.
But for such a memorial to a being like Xuanyuan Shuo, he, the Qingci doctor, had to take action.
The reason why he became a court official, ranked in the political affairs hall, and occupied the top political positions of the entire Qi Empire. Of course, it’s not just about well-written articles and beautiful handwriting.
The emperor called him here not only to write articles but also to ask questions about politics.
The erection of a statue of the Dragon Fisherman at Tianya Terrace was a derivative of the Battle of the Mysterious Realm.
After the war, Diaohailou had undoubtedly lost the qualification to lead the Zhenhai League, and it no longer had the power to dominate Huai Island, the largest offshore island.
Dongtian Master Song Huai, who was born in Penglai Island, came to Huai Island after the war. He said that the will of the ancient emperors was unbreakable and the spirit of dragon fishermen would last forever. He came out to support Chen Zhitao in rebuilding the Diaohai Tower. Supporting Chongguang and supporting Qin Zhen, others have said that each has his own opinion and fights for the name of orthodoxy. Even if they fight for thousands of years, there may not be any results. Only Chen Zhitao was repeatedly confirmed by Wei Xun during his lifetime, which is irrefutable in legal terms.
General Yanggu, in charge of Yuejie, personally presided over the sacrifice of the human heroes who died in the battle with the Mysterious Realm, ranking the dragon fisherman Xuanyuan Shuo first.
Cao Du, on behalf of Qi State, also recognized this and spoke highly of Shen Du Zhenjun's sacrifice. Promote the situation and make Wye Island a truly more open place for all races. He advocated erecting a statue on Tianya Terrace, recognized the legal authority of Diaohailou, and also welcomed people of insight from all over the world to jointly build Huaidao. As the saying goes, "All human races inherit the ambition of the emperor, and all seafarers inherit the heart of Diaohailou."
Ye Henshui must admit that Cao Jiu's political skills were also very superb, making Diaohai Tower a part of Huai Island instead of Huai Island itself, but this was obviously not the best result that Qi could get after the war. Song Huai seized on the pretext of supporting Diaohailou. In the future, Jingguo would be qualified to intervene in offshore affairs, which would cause endless troubles.
The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood and just said: "Dr. Laoye, I won't read the article and just send it directly to Huai Island."
Ye Henshui then understood that this matter was over.
Then he stood up and bowed to the emperor, nodded to Zhusui, took the article he had just written, and went straight away.
