Jiang Wang was so angry with Yin Guan that he almost wanted to inform the court of Qu State.
When Qu Guo's general in town was assassinated by Hell Wu Men, Qu Guo issued a wanted document, vowing to destroy Hell Wu Men. After discovering that the wanted people were not available, he quietly revoked it himself...
They have nothing to do with each other since then. After all, Hell No Door is a killer organization that only does business and does not deliberately target anyone. But they still appeared in the territory of Qu State openly, which seemed to be jumping in Qu State's face repeatedly.
Once the imperial court of Qu State learns that Hell No Gate is in Yuguang City at this time, one can imagine what kind of violent reaction there will be...
Of course, I can only think about it.
With Yin Guan protecting him, it was impossible to capture Yang Xuance, so Jiang Wang continued on his way.
After leaving Qu State and entering Zheng State, he heard a piece of news——
There was friction between the two countries because Xiang State detained Xu Guo's caravan without reason. After several negotiations failed, Xu Guo sent troops to conquer!
Now the armies of Xiang and Xu have deployed their troops in Xingyueyuan and are facing each other.
The big move that Chong Xuan Sheng mentioned... has arrived!
During this period of time, there were many more people in the Zheng Kingdom, most of them were small forces that had been hanging around in Xingyue Plains.
The two countries went to war, and Xingyue was chosen as the battlefield. These grass-roots teams who had no contact with either side suddenly dispersed.
No matter how long they have been operating here, how long they have lived here, or how deep their feelings are...
If the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will die if it doesn't escape.
Does the cruelty of the world stop here?
With a single line of troops, Xiang and Xu were cleared of Xingyue. They looked majestic, but they were just two pawns in the hands of the overlord.
Whether it was detaining caravans or conquering the people, it was only the will of the two countries, Jing and Qi, that was implemented.
Even if these two countries have no intention of war at all and cannot find the benefits of this war, they have to fight.
The battle between Xiang and Xu in Xingyueyuan can be regarded as a vanguard battle between Jing and Qi.
Judging from the experience of detouring through the grassland, Jiang Wang believed that the battle between Jingmu and Mu was inevitable. Before he left the grassland, Tiefutu, the sixth largest cavalry force in the world, had already set off for Liyuan City. Sheng Guo could not recapture this important border city by himself.
And under such circumstances, in this Xingyue Plain, a dispute between Xiang and Xu suddenly broke out, which fully demonstrated Jingguo's pride.
Jing State was not willing to go to war with the two overlords at the same time, but at the same time he was not willing to let Qi State take away too many benefits, so he wanted to test the quality of Qi State in Xingyue Yuan.
Of course, judging from the current situation, Jingguo's main force will not come to Xingyue Plains. This is why Jiang Wang regards this war in Xingyue Plains as a test.
The outcome of this battle will directly determine the attitudes of the two hegemons.
If Xu State, which was supported by Qi State, was destroyed in one battle, it would be okay for Jing State to fight on two fronts. On the contrary, if it is easy to defeat Xiang Kingdom, then Qi Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and invade the central region, which is also a natural choice.
But all this has nothing to do with him.
The State of Zheng is in the north of Xingyue Plains, and the Hanging Temple is in the south of Xingyue Plains.
Xiangguo and Xuguo are opposites.
After Jiang Wang left Zheng Guo, he bypassed Xingyueyuan. Because the Xu Kingdom was preparing for war, he did not pass through the Xu Kingdom. Instead, he went around the border to the east of the Xu Kingdom and went to the Hanging Temple alone.
This route is already very close to Qi State...
Although they have not entered the territory of Xu Kingdom, it can be expected that the atmosphere in Xu Kingdom is not relaxed. This war may be just a test for Qi Jing, but for Xu and Xiang, it is a battle that will cost them all, and the country is really in danger of being destroyed!
Some people from the Xu Kingdom that I met occasionally on the road - in short, they were going to the Qi Kingdom under various names, so I met Jiang Wang - all of them looked gloomy.
In such an atmosphere, Jiang Wang finally arrived at Xuankong Temple.
But how to contact Jingli?
He was in trouble.
If the linen cloak came to his door like this, no one would pay any attention to it. But it happens that he is missing now and it is difficult to reveal his identity.
Jiang Wang wandered around the grounds of Xuankong Temple for a long time, and finally found a smart-looking little boy on the street, stopped him, and was about to speak.
The little boy turned and ran.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that with his cloak, linen clothes, and dragon-headed staff, he did not look like a good person.
The territory of Xuankong Temple is full of ordinary people, and presumably no one knows him.
He took off his cloak, put away his dragon-headed staff, and looked for the target again. I saw a handsome little boy and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Kid, how about you do me a favor?"
He took out a piece of broken silver and shook it in his hand: "Just run an errand, this silver is yours."
The little boy actually put his palms together and saluted him: "If you have anything to say, please tell me, I don't want any money."
"Ah?" Jiang Wang was stunned: "Why."
The little boy's expression was serious: "I am willing to do one good deed every day."
It deserves to be called the Hanging Temple, the Eastern Holy Land of Buddhism!
Looking at the child's clear eyes, Jiang Wang felt ashamed.
As an "adult" who is about to reach adulthood, he has almost adapted to the so-called "reality" of considering problems based on interests, but he has forgotten that life... does not require reward for everything.
"It's me who is vulgar and has almost polluted your pure heart." Jiang Wang clasped his hands in return and said warmly: "Then can you help me go to the mountain gate of Xuankong Temple and find a monk named Jingli? Just say that I am here Wait for him here."
"If he asks me, who are you? What should I say?" the little boy asked.
Jiang Wangdao: "Let's just say it's the person who made an appointment to treat him to dinner on August 9th."
The little boy nodded, turned around and started running.
As the eastern holy land of Buddhism, the territory of Xuankong Temple is no smaller than that of countries such as Xiang and Xu.
However, the place where Jiang Wang asked for help was not far from the mountain gate outside Xuankong Temple.
About an hour later—probably mainly spent on asking for instructions from Zhi Ke Monk—Jing Li, a bald man with a shiny head, flew over quickly holding the little boy who had reported the message.
"Junior brother!" He shouted in surprise from afar: "Are you coming to see me?"
Jiang Wang quickly made a silent gesture.
Flying closer, the little boy in Jingli's arms was a little surprised: "Brother, have you been waiting here all this time? Why don't you find a place to sit?"
"We agreed to wait here." Jiang Wang smiled and handed over a paper bag: "You worked hard running errands. I bought some pastries and fruits for you to eat."
The little boy waved his hand to refuse.
Jiang Wang had already added: "It's not a reward, it's a treat for a friend to eat. You help me run errands, and I treat you to a meal. This is called reciprocity."
The little boy looked back at Jingli. After all, he was the holy monk of Xuankong Temple, which made him trust him.
Jingli had a solemn look on his face and said with a smile: "This is also due to the Dharma. There is no need to push it away."
The little boy then took the paper bag and said to Jiang Wang, "Thank you, big brother."
Jiang Wang returned the gift and felt comfortable watching the little boy holding the paper bag and leaving briskly.
Children are sometimes like a mirror. When you look at this mirror, you can easily notice changes in yourself.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Suddenly a cry came from the side.
Jiang Wang turned his head, and just now he looked like a saintly monk, but now he was crying: "Junior...Junior brother, we, we don't have a master now!"
Jiang Wang was shocked, his heart ached, and his nose became sore: "What's wrong with Master Kujue?"
Jingli burst into tears: "Master... Master... he's gone!"
"How did you leave?" Jiang Wang was shocked, angry, sad and guilty: "Are they those thieves from Jingguo!?"
"Take off...leave the mountain gate!" Jingli sobbed.
