Chapter 237 Zhang Qian’s Mission to the Western Regions
In Taixue Palace, everyone looked at the old man with some sadness in his eyes.
Everyone can clearly feel the old man's sword shaking.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Mr. Nakahara Juku, a superb swordsman with extraordinary achievements in kendo, to have an unstable hand holding the sword.
What triggered his state of mind?
His old man?
The person mentioned by this Mohist giant is...
For a time, everyone was guessing.
"Could it be..."
Everyone looked at Jiang Taiyi and Jing Tianming and quickly guessed the clues.
"Is it that legendary man?"
"Sword Master Gai Nie..."
Someone whispered these five words.
It seems that I haven't heard this familiar name again for many years.
Jing Tianming's heart fluctuated obviously.
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Jiang Taiyi with a hint of complexity:
"Do you know the whereabouts of Uncle Genie?"
Seeing Jing Tianming's look, Jiang Taiyi understood that even he didn't know about the disappearance of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.
"He and Zhuang Er were tricked by someone into entering the 'Ziya Prison' of the first ancestor of the military dynasty, which is connected to a place called 'Jingyan Palace'."
Jiang Taiyi withdrew his gaze from Jing Tianming, then looked at the old witch from the Yingui Sect, and said:
"Originally, before I saw you today, no, to be precise, before I saw this 'Yuan Hong', I had some confidence in finding that Ziya Prison. But now, after seeing this sword, I The certainty is even greater.”
He stretched out his hand.
Jing Tianming felt that the 'Yuanhong' in his hand was out of his control.
The sword shook and flew towards Jiang Taiyi.
"you……"
Jing Tianming's face changed slightly when he first saw Yuan Hong being taken away, but then he was touched by Jiang Taiyi's words and seemed to understand something:
"Can you use Yuanhong to find the uncle?"
"For Nie Er, this sword is a sword that has accompanied him throughout his life, especially for a sword master like him. This sword contains his lifelong will to swordsmanship."
Jiang Taiyi stretched out his finger and flicked the sword blade.
Zheng~
Yuan Hong made a clear sound like a dragon's roar.
Jiang Taiyi looked at the water-like sword body, reflecting his own face, and said slowly:
"Using this as a medium, I can roughly calculate the location of Ziya Prison where Nie'er is trapped."
Say it.
He glanced at Jing Tianming again and said:
"If you want to see him again, I will pretend that I have never seen you today. Otherwise, you can continue to use your sword against me."
Everyone looked at this old tycoon of the Mo family.
A wide range of emotions.
There are those who expect Jing Tianming to take action and seek death.
There was also an urge to step forward to dissuade him, and couldn't bear that this famous figure from Central Plains would just disappear into the world.
finally.
Jing Tianming chose not to say a word and turned to leave.
Seeing Jing Tianming turn and leave.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people had regrets in their eyes.
Jiang Taiyi sighed inwardly when he saw Jing Tianming making the right choice.
Crazy people still have to use crazy things to cure them.
If he doesn't even care about his relationship with Gai Nie, then he can let him go and die.
It's just that he doesn't want his disciples to be sad.
Jing Tianming's problem was solved in a few words.
Jiang Taiyi immediately looked at the old witch from the Yingui Sect and said, "You don't have much time. What I said is not a lie. If you can't contact your Qinglong boss in the next five or six years, Then, you will die silently, do you understand?"
The old witch was frightened and said in a trembling voice: "I understand, I understand. I will search the world now and I will definitely find clues about the dragon head."
"Go." Jiang Taiyi waved his hand.
Others were still standing there hesitantly, unwilling to leave, but unwilling to stay here.
Liu Che knew that at this time, it was time for him, the emperor, to speak out.
He put his hands on his hands and stepped forward, saying: "Everyone, during the more than six years of your career in Taixue Palace, you have made a lot of contributions to our great man. Today, with the death of the Imperial Master, you indeed have no restrictions, but you must not forget , even if you can leave here, you are still part of our Han people in the Central Plains. I can agree to let you go, but if I find out that some of you have betrayed our Han family, you should also stay in Taixue Palace for six years. I know what kind of power Taixue Palace has cultivated for our court in the past six years."
Taixue Palace was founded six years ago and incorporated hundreds of schools of thought. Regardless of whether these people were willing or not, under the pressure of Wang Xuanfu, they had to teach many talents.
Six years was enough for the second-generation doctor of Taixue Palace to step forward and establish a family.
Even if these first batch of people from hundreds of families leave, Taixue Palace will not fall.
"We will remember it!" At this time, everyone looked at Liu Che, and then looked into the depths of Taixue Palace. Everyone knew that Liu Che's words were not false.
Mainly because Jiang Taiyi was standing here, they couldn't say anything arrogant.
In the end, only half of these people were gone.
As a result, Wei Qing felt slightly relieved when he saw it. After all, when Wang Xuanfu restrained hundreds of schools, the other half, such as farmers, miscellaneous schools, Taoists, Confucians, military strategists, etc., were already completely dependent on the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Taiyi looked at Liu Che and asked, "Where is Xue'er?"
Liu Che said: "That child? Do you want to see him or take him away? He is in the palace now..."
When speaking, Liu Che expressed his reluctance in his words.
"No, I won't take him away. I have trained this child as a general since he was a child. If he follows me, he will never fight. On the contrary, let him stay in Chang'an City from now on."
Jiang Taiyi exhaled and said:
"I will be in seclusion for a few years. Next time we meet, I hope he has grown into a young man. Since he is not here now, then you can tell him for me that after I leave, the Golden Emperor will be handed over to him first. Don’t let his talent go to waste.”
Xue'er's foundation has been built extremely solidly by him in the past few years.
Nowadays, Wei Qing's military strategy, Li Guang's military skills and his own military yin and yang have all evolved some spirit in the recent battle. All he needs is Xue'er's military situation to make him successful.
As for this step, he has already laid out a good plan for Xueer. He only needs one battle after he becomes an adult to give himself a perfect set of answers.
When Liu Che heard that Jiang Taiyi was going to be in seclusion for several years, his eyes dimmed.
He just lost the land god Wang Xuanfu.
It is extremely hoped that Jiang Taiyi can continue to succeed Wang Xuanfu as the pillar of the Han Dynasty.
but……
But he also knew not to force it.
"Sir, don't worry. This child, Xue'er, is born rich and noble. I love him very much. I heard that his father's new wife is Wei Qing's sister. So, this child is also part of my family. I will not treat him badly. Let him He was able to fully unleash his genius and ambition.”
Liu Che said this first, and then realized that Jiang Taiyi was gone and he didn’t know when he would see him again, and said:
"In addition, I will keep in mind what you said in the palace before, sir, and I will definitely make some achievements for this world. Please wait and see, sir."
"Okay, I hope you can keep your word. That way, maybe when we meet again in the long future, we will have a lot to talk about your merits in life."
Jiang Taiyi smiled, took one last look at Wei Qing, and said:
"I will leave those two dragon balls to you for safekeeping for the time being. Grand Master, I am leaving. If everything I do goes well, then maybe I can also find an immortal merit temple for you so that you and your grandpa can meet each other soon. .”
As soon as Wei Qing bowed to the ground, he said, "My grandson sends you off to Grand Master."
Then, under everyone's gaze.
Jiang Taiyi flicked his sleeves, and a cloud of auspicious clouds supported him, and he left the Han Dynasty Palace.
"Farewell, Mr. Jiang!" Liu Che was the first to lead the others in saluting.
Almost three breaths after Jiang Taiyi left.
"uncle!"
Xueer quickly ran here.
He sensed his uncle almost as soon as there was movement in the Taixue Palace, and then rushed here quickly, but unexpectedly he was still a step too late.
Liu Che and Wei Qing watched Xue'er running in mid-air and shouted loudly in the direction Jiang Taiyi left:
"Uncle, when will we meet again!?"
Almost when Xueer thought she wouldn't hear a reply.
"Do you still remember Langjuxu Mountain and Hanhai on the Northern Plains? When you grow up and can light the beacon fire on the Huns' Langjuxu Mountain, we will meet."
"The wolf lives in Xu Mountain."
Xueer's mind immediately thought of the holy mountain she had seen while riding on the Golden Emperor.
"Okay, uncle, it's agreed, we'll see you then!"
"Langjuxu Mountain?" Liu Che also heard the voice and couldn't help but said: "Langjuxu Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Huns, equivalent to Mount Tai in our Central Plains. If we can attack there, it will be no less than the entire Northern Plains. All conquered.”
He looked excited, as if he had already seen that day.
At this time, Wei Qing said:
"Your Majesty, during this expedition, I got a key piece of information that can completely defeat the Xiongnu. That is the Western Region. The Yuezhi there are located to the northwest of the Xiongnu, and they are often plundered by the Xiongnu. If I, the Han Dynasty, can fight with the countries in the Western Region Together, we can attack the Xiongnu from above and below!"
"Big and small Yuezhi, Western Regions?" Liu Che heard this and looked at Wei Qing again, saying: "You are not a general, you are a handsome man. Sure enough, there is a reason why Sister Pingyang gave you the military book of Marquis Huaiyin!"
Hearing this, Li Guang looked at Wei Qing in surprise. He did not expect that during this expedition, Wei Qing would not only fight, but also collect intelligence on such an important country.
This is completely the style of military planners. When sending troops to fight, they first formulate a big strategy and then lay it out.
"Then what you mean is to find someone to go as an envoy to the Western Regions?" Liu Che said, "Okay, then let's post the imperial list and see who dares to represent my great Han Dynasty as an envoy to the Western Regions?"
It was only a few days after this imperial list was posted.
Hundreds of Han people came to reveal the emperor's list.
What Liu Che didn't expect was that there was a name he was very familiar with among them.
Zhang Qian?
"Is he the young man who got a fortune teller from Mr. Jiang in Pingyang City?"
Liu Che's heart moved, and he immediately remembered what the young man said at that time.
When heaven assigns a great responsibility to a man, he must first work hard on his mind and body.
Thinking back to Mr. Jiang's judgment on this man at that time, he said that he was destined to have a difficult journey in the Western Regions, but as long as he persisted to the end, things would turn out to be bright and clear.
"Could it be that the hexagram you made back then should be today?"
Liu Che thought of this and immediately said:
"Announce Zhang Qian quickly!"
