Chapter 162: If There Are Flowers to Be Picked, Pick Them Immediately
When Jiang Ping'an arrived at Princess Bailing's mansion, the servants of Princess Bailing's mansion were already waiting in front of the gate.
He dismounted in front of the mansion and waited for a while. Princess Bailing came out in full dress and personally welcomed him into the mansion.
Princess Bailing led Jiang Ping'an into the mansion and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the whole Yujing knows that you are coming to the door to find out the way like this."
This is not an exaggeration. Now Jiang Ping'an is already an important figure in the Dagan Kingdom.
Especially after he killed ten fifth-level monsters in a row, even if the Dharma Image Realm or the prime minister of the current dynasty met him, they had to respectfully and politely address him as Marquis Jiang.
His formal and grand visit to Princess Bailing's mansion in broad daylight must have attracted many people's attention.
"It's my first visit to your house, so I have to be formal." Jiang Ping'an smiled.
Princess Bailing had already prepared to welcome Jiang Ping'an, so the two of them walked all the way to the main courtyard, talking and laughing, and then entered the main hall to drink tea and chat.
After sitting down and taking two sips of tea, the housekeeper ignored etiquette and walked to Princess Bailing with the gift list, whispering: "Princess, please take a look at the gift list."
Princess Bailing secretly blamed the housekeeper for being tactless. She and Jiang Ping'an were chatting happily, why should she look at the gift list? She and Jiang Ping'an were friends, so why should she look at what gift Jiang Ping'an gave her? It was okay for her to give Jiang Ping'an a gift.
Besides, who would look at the gift list in front of the guests?
However, she still took it and took a look, and her beautiful eyes immediately widened, and she couldn't help showing surprise on her pretty face.
After making sure that she was not mistaken, she looked up at Jiang Ping'an and asked in surprise: "You gave me a top-grade spiritual sword?"
"Yes, I hope you like it." Jiang Ping'an smiled and nodded.
Princess Bailing was overjoyed and immediately turned to the housekeeper and said, "Quickly bring the sword over to me!"
Although Emperor Gan doted on her and had high hopes for her, he had not yet given her a spiritual weapon. She only had a top-grade Xuan weapon.
Spiritual weapons were too precious and rare. Each one was a priceless treasure that could never be bought with Yuanshi. Even the Ji royal family did not have many spiritual weapons, most of which were in the hands of the Ji family's Dharma Realm masters.
Therefore, it was no wonder that she was so surprised.
In addition, she also felt that Jiang Ping'an was sincere to her, and the priceless treasure was given to her just like that.
Soon, the housekeeper hurried over with a delicate long gift box in her hands and presented it to Princess Bailing.
Princess Bailing opened the gift box and took out a top-grade spiritual sword with a flowing treasure light from it. She immediately realized that there was a spirit in the sword and heard a crisp phoenix cry.
It is impossible for a mere top-grade spiritual sword to have a phoenix as its spirit, but the sound of a phoenix can be heard, indicating that the spirit is a divine bird with the blood of a phoenix, which is extraordinary.
Her Yuanhai vision is that thousands of birds are paying homage to the phoenix.
Princess Bailing immediately liked it even more.
She happily pulled out the sword and looked at it carefully for a few times, then returned the sword to the sheath, and finally said to Jiang Pingan: "I like your gift very much, thank you."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were full of light and affection.
Jiang Pingan smiled and said: "I am relieved that you like it."
Princess Bailing put the top-grade spiritual sword into her storage bracelet.
After drinking a cup of tea in the hall, Princess Bailing took Jiang Pingan to familiarize herself with the environment in the mansion, including letting Jiang Pingan know where her bedroom is, etc.
At the end, Princess Bailing formally invited Jiang Pingan to a banquet.
After visiting for about an hour, Jiang Pingan said goodbye and left the princess's mansion.
Before leaving, Princess Bailing approached Jiang Pingan and whispered, "I'm going to stay at Taiwu Mansion tonight, don't say you don't know."
"Yeah." Jiang Pingan nodded and responded softly.
Because there were maids following them throughout the journey, it was not easy to stay too long, so they did not have the opportunity to be intimate.
After Jiang Pingan left Princess Bailing's mansion, he did not return to his mansion, but went directly back to Taiwu Mansion.
In the dead of night, Jiang Pingan refined a fifth-level demon spirit pill and took out the five-color jade plate.
The next moment, he appeared in Princess Bailing's bedroom.
"You're here." Princess Bailing stepped forward and complained slightly, "You always make me wait so long."
Then, she danced twice in front of Jiang Pingan and asked with a smile, "Is it beautiful?"
Jiang Pingan was already staring at it.
Princess Bailing was wearing a long palace dress that was as thin as a cicada's wing and shimmering with silver light. Her chest was full of plump white skin. Her delicate face was painted with makeup, her long hair was combed into a high bun, and she wore luxurious jewelry.
Her delicate face was even more delicate and beautiful. The translucent palace dress allowed him to see her fair and curvy figure.
Her red lips were smiling, and her usually bright eyes had become charming and her eyes were drawn.
Seeing that Jiang Ping'an was staring at her, Princess Bailing's face turned slightly red. She took another step forward, stretched out her slender jade fingers to hook Jiang Ping'an's chin, and said teasingly: "You can't just look, you have to talk."
Jiang Ping'an came back to his senses and hugged Princess Bailing into his arms.
Princess Bailing also immediately hugged Jiang Ping'an tightly, raised her red lips, and took the initiative to kiss Jiang Ping'an passionately.
After the two kissed passionately for a while, Princess Bailing breathed into Jiang Ping'an's ear and said, "I'm a little tired from standing. Let's go to bed."
Jiang Ping'an's whole body shook violently, and then he carried Princess Bailing to bed.
…
The next morning, when the sky was pale, Jiang Ping'an got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"Have a good rest, okay?" Jiang Ping'an reached out and stroked Princess Bailing's smooth face, whispering.
Princess Bailing replied shyly: "Hate, got it."
Finally, Jiang Ping'an used the five-color jade plate to leave Princess Bailing's bedroom and returned to his own bedroom.
At noon, Jiang Ping'an went to help Liu Xixu refine the formation cannon.
"Sister Xixu, five formation cannons are not enough, ten are needed." Jiang Ping'an said to Liu Xixu.
Hei Huang and Gan Huang were worried about the huge losses in attacking Pudu Mountain and hesitated. He realized that if he really wanted to attack Pudu Mountain, he had to deal a heavy blow to Pudu Mountain first, and then Hei Huang and Gan Huang would follow.
Therefore, he placed greater hopes on the formation cannon.
Liu Xixu immediately refused unhappily: "You can refine it yourself, anyway."
Yesterday, he clearly said that he would come to help her after entering the palace, but he didn't come until noon today, making her wait for so long in vain.
Jiang Pingan realized that his request was a bit excessive, and immediately apologized: "I am pushing it too far, please don't be angry. How about this, you help me purchase the materials, and I will refine it myself."
Liu Xixu's face was slightly relieved, and he explained: "The formation cannon is huge and consumes a lot of materials. There are not so many materials in Dagan. At most, I can refine three more."
"I see." Jiang Pingan suddenly realized, and then said, "Then you help me purchase the materials for three formation cannons."
Liu Xixu said contemptuously: "How many formation plates have you refined by yourself? How many formation magic weapons? The materials are insufficient, how can you waste them?"
"Huh?" Jiang Pingan was a little speechless.
Liu Xixu snorted, "I'll help you refine three more, no more."
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?" Jiang Ping'an laughed and said, "It's too hard for you."
As he spoke, he took out a few bottles of elixirs and sent them to Liu Xixu: "Take these bottles of elixirs to replenish your body, don't overwork yourself."
Liu Xixu couldn't stand Jiang Ping'an's attentiveness, snorted and turned away.
However, she was a little happy in her heart.
Two days after Jiang Ping'an helped Liu Xixu refine the formation cannon, he received the imperial edict from Emperor Gan.
Emperor Gan officially appointed Jiang Ping'an as the general of the northern expedition, leading the expedition against the Rakshasa tribe. All the troops in the northern border were under his command, and he was allowed to transfer 30,000 elite troops from the southern border to the northern border for use.
The 30,000 elite troops were originally the Divine Forbidden Army stationed in Yujing. Now that the south does not need so many troops, it is common sense to transfer them to the northern border for use.
