"The old hero is worried that Malu is just using his head, or is he setting up an outpost to test our Great Qin's reaction?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, a certain person who has been active in the border areas all year round has made this judgment based on these signs, but he is not sure..."
Jiang Fan suddenly looked at him: "So, His Majesty asked you to find me?"
Wang Gelu sighed with satisfaction: "As expected of the prince, he hit the nail on the head."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "I'm afraid there is another reason. His Majesty promised me not to use weapons for the first five years. Now there is still more than one year left. He asked you to come to me because he wanted me to solve this matter."
Wang Gelu cupped his hands and said, "I dare not hide it from the prince. I believe that the prince also knows that this is a trick of the rivers and lakes spread by His Majesty, and this time it is indeed His Majesty's guidance."
He was frank and did not hide anything, which actually won Jiang Fan's favor.
"Jiang already knows about this matter. He will meet with His Majesty when he returns to Yangdu soon to discuss countermeasures. The old hero just needs to go to the border and wait for news."
Wang Gelu chuckled and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from the prince."
"Don't worry, even if nothing else is said, Jiang is bound to serve as an old hero to my Xiaoyao Society."
Wang Gelu laughed loudly and turned to look at his son: "Zhonghou, you have chosen a good master."
Wang Zhonghou just scratched the back of his head and laughed innocently.
Jiang Fan said: "Speaking of this matter of worship, the old hero must also be following His Majesty's orders."
Wang Gelu nodded: "Even so, I personally submitted the request to His Majesty for approval."
"Oh?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "The old hero took the initiative?"
"Yes, the prince is indeed admired by me, a reckless man. Even I am looking forward to the day when the prince will bring thousands of troops and horses to conquer the northern border. At that time, Wang is willing to be the vanguard of the horse."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "The day will come when Da Qin sets foot on the northern frontier."
Wang Gelu sighed with emotion: "Thousands of years of chaos have caused the people to live in dire straits. All the sons and daughters of our Chinese clan think about it day and night. This is why the Xiaoyaohui was born."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Speaking of Xiaoyaohui, do you recognize the other two enshrined old heroes?"
Wang Gelu chuckled: "There is only one of them, and the prince knows it well. But I don't know the origin of the old man Ku Rong."
Even he didn't know about this matter. Jiang Fan felt more and more interesting and even wanted to ask Zhang Tianshi.
Wang Gelu talked about another matter: "My lord, you have slapped someone in the face again during this grand ceremony. That Gao Jian is not easy to deal with. He will definitely seek revenge in the future. You must be careful." .”
Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "I and Taihua have been irreconcilable for a long time. To use what I said just now, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."
Wang Gelu pondered for a moment: "I have something to say. I think it's better to inform the prince. Taihua is not just Gao Jian. Yang Bachi, the second disciple of the Holy Lord, is an exception..."
Jiang Fan was stunned, not expecting that he also knew this Yang Bachi.
"How to say it?"
Wang Gelu said: "Senior Yang never fights internally, but only fights against external enemies. He is admired by Wang, and he is also the one who leads the way."
Jiang Fan nodded slightly: "Eight Feet to Three Frontiers is indeed true. You might as well tell the old hero that I have met with the senior and received a martial arts volume from him. It is just right for you to take it to my disciple. Meng Yi.”
Wang Gelu's eyes lit up: "He is indeed a hero. Senior Yang is still a role model for our generation."
Jiang Fan took out the volume and put it in Wang Gelu's hand: "This is the hard work of the old man's life. He told Meng Yi that he must not let it down."
Wang Gelu solemnly continued: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring him."
After putting it away, he said with full appreciation: "Meng Yi is worthy of being the prince's first disciple. He traveled across the border, fought bravely, and repeatedly won military honors. Now he has been promoted to the rank of Tiger Colonel. In a short period of time, he has become a feared existence among the barbarians in northern Xinjiang. He is known as the young tiger of the Meng family. During the war not long ago, he smashed Malu's third son to death with a copper mace. His brains exploded on the spot, which was very unpleasant."
Jiang Fan was greatly relieved when he heard this, and Meng Yi finally began to grow up in great strides.
"And his eight personal guards and one hundred soldiers, all of whom are extremely fierce and invincible across the border. They are called the Tiger Vanguard Battalion in the army."
Listening to Wang Gelu's praise, Jiang Fan was also sincerely happy for them. Among the soldiers, they were all growing up, and one day they would become great heroes who could stand up to heaven and earth.
After chatting for a while, Wang Gelu explained to his son again, then he drank three bowls and rode away with his whip raised.
After he left, Jiang Fan remembered someone.
"Since entering Taihua, I haven't seen the old man Ku Rong. What is he doing?"
Wang Zhong said kindly: "He has always been there, but he was hiding in the vegetation and watching secretly. Anyone who tried to explore the camp at night these past few days was driven away by him."
Jiang Fan said oh, but he didn't expect that Kurong Sou was very serious about his work.
"Where are you now?"
Wang Zhong said honestly: "I don't know, maybe he left, maybe he is still hiding among the grass and trees. This old man has always been elusive, and it is difficult for us to track his whereabouts. Even when he came to Taihua this time, he found him personally."
Jiang Fan suddenly thought: "Has he ever said...why he came?"
Wang Zhonghou was stunned: "Isn't it to protect the prince?"
Jiang Fan shook his head. At this time, Situ Zheng's wheelchair slowly approached: "Your Majesty, if you have something in mind, I have heard you ask about Taihua Qianhuang Long Live Bamboo."
Qianhuang Long Live Bamboo? Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "What the hell?"
Situ Zhengdao said: "There are tens of thousands of rare bamboos in the Qianhuang Mountains of Taihua. Among them, a very few have lived for thousands of years and are the essence of bamboos. The fishing rod used by the old fisherman and the Spring and Autumn Brushstrokes used by Zhang Zaifu were made of this bamboo. . And among these tens of millions of bamboos, there is a bamboo emperor, which has been alive for thousands of years, and is the soul of Qianhuang Ridge. And every thousand years, it produces a bamboo shoot, called a thousand-year bamboo shoot, which is filled with the aura of heaven and earth. It is said that eating it can protect the body. You will never grow old until you die, your old body can be rejuvenated, and your martial arts skills can even be increased by a dozen."
Jiang Fan was amazed: "Is there such a treasure in the world?"
Situ Zhengdao: "Thousand-year-old bamboo shoots have always been the king among spiritual plants, coveted by everyone in the world."
"You mean, Ku Rongsou is planning on a thousand-year-old bamboo shoot?"
Situ Zheng shook his head: "I don't know, Sanzong just asked a question and didn't say much."
Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "Summon him to see you."
Situ Zheng sighed: "I am no longer here, but my subordinates are really worried..."
Jiang Fan frowned and left? Did you leave or go to Qianhuang Ridge? Jiang Fan never expected that after finally getting off Taihua safely, something like this would happen. If Situ Zheng's guess was correct, then Kurong Sou would probably make a big mistake.
"Send an order to Qin Xiao and order him to investigate as soon as possible."
Situ Zhengdao: "My subordinates have made arrangements, and any news will be sent immediately. The Taihua incident has just been passed, I hope this person will not cause trouble."
"You all should go too. If anything happens, report it as soon as possible. We will stay in place for a day and wait for the news."
"Follow the order."
