"Qi Tianjiao is better than the Tianjiao in the world."
This was Jiang Wang's bold statement in front of Emperor Qi.
At that time, the emperor wanted to let Jiang Wang serve as the captain of Beiya. Jiang Wang refused. The emperor did not blame him, but asked, "How will you repay me?"
Jiang Wang responded with this statement.
To this day, he has granted the title of marquis to three thousand households for his military merits. Looking at the world, he is considered to be the most talented person among his peers. It can be said that he has achieved what he boasted at the time.
And this time he went on a mission to the grassland with integrity just because he was the face of Qi.
Especially after Mu Guo lost the war with Jing Guo and fully retreated from the Northern Territory. This time, the succession ceremony of the Crown Priest of Cangtu Temple has extraordinary significance.
The eyes of the whole world will fall on the grassland, waiting for the next move of the Queen of the Shepherd Country.
In such a stormy moment, the majesty of the Eastern Kingdom must not be lost.
Chong Xuanzun and Jiang Wang are both good choices. Looking at the world, they will not be inferior to any of their peers. But since the emperor appointed Jiang Wang,
He must take responsibility.
The holder of the talisman festival is the official envoy of the Da Qi Empire, appointed by the emperor, and the emperor's daughter Zhuangxing...
Jiang Wang's trip north to Hengyang this time was full of pomp and circumstance.
Two hundred people from the Tianfu Army were specially mobilized to serve as guards of honor for Jiang Wang's envoy, and all of them had a minimum level of cultivation in the Tenglong realm.
When he, Ji Zhaonan, and Chong Xuanzun went to the Yellow River Meeting together, the honor guard was nothing more than that.
The only difference is that that time there were two teams from the Inner Palace leading the army, but this time there was only one.
His name is Qiao Lin.
It was the Tianfu sergeant who accompanied Jiang Wang to watch games every day at Guanhe Terrace and was keen to share news from all corners of the country with Jiang Wang.
From the meeting of the Yellow River to the present, he has also opened up the inner palace and became a captain in the Tianfu Army.
This time he was transferred to Jiang Wang's bodyguard, commanding two hundred warriors, and sent him as an envoy to the grassland. It was also a reunion with old friends.
Speaking of which, even if two hundred elite soldiers of the Sky Overturning Army formed a military formation, it would be almost impossible to interfere with Jiang Wang's current level of battle, and the meaning of guarding would be almost useless.
But Jiang Wang is representing the country on this trip, and necessary honor guards are still indispensable.
In Hengyang County, he said goodbye to a group of people who were seeing him off, and was guarded by two hundred elite soldiers on horseback. Jiang Wang sat alone in a special carriage specially designed for envoys, and headed north.
Everything is peaceful in Linzi, but there is nothing to worry about.
Lou Zishan, the newly appointed governor of Hengyang County, came to see him off ten miles away and said goodbye reluctantly in the border town.
Today, Marquis Wu'an is naturally the pride of Yangdi.
Among the three counties in Yangdi, Hengyang County, as the capital of the old Yang Kingdom, is far stronger than the other two counties. After Huang Yixing's death, Gao Shaoling, the governor of Chiwei County, once tried to transfer the government to Hengyang, but because the Linhai Gao family had insufficient background, he failed to succeed.
Unexpectedly, it was Lou Zishan who had the last laugh. He was not from a noble family, and he had never heard of anyone relying on him. Jiang Wang specifically read the evaluation given by the Political Affairs Hall, which was "excellent in internal affairs". Seeing that he was the best in terms of talent, he also wanted to make friends. He had also contributed to the disappearance of Shi Shi.
In addition, Tian Antai turned into a madman on the battlefield of the Conquest of Xia, so naturally he could no longer serve as his governor of Rizhao County. This was regarded as a sacrifice for the country, and it was impossible for the imperial court to seize his power. Therefore, it was an elder of the Tian family who succeeded Ichida Chang. He had been seeking this position before and made a lot of efforts to this end, but in the end he failed to achieve his goal.
It is said that he is the final candidate designated by Tian Anping.
Jiang Wang wasn't too clear on the details. After achieving Dongzhen, Tian Anping's voice in the Tian family obviously increased again, and the relationship between Tian Chang and Jiang Wang became increasingly cautious. After returning from the summer expedition, there was almost no contact.
Jiang Wang is not saying that he must use Tian Chang and Tian He to do something, but he is somewhat instinctively wary of such a dangerous person as Tian Anping. Having a few trump cards in hand can also help you feel more at ease.
This trip to Mu Country was a long way away, but for Jiang Wang, it was still just practice.
Except that Qiao Lin was really talkative and came to tell Jiang Wang some military anecdotes from time to time, there was almost nothing else.
Jiang Wang didn't mind either, Quan was just an adjustment on the way.
A few casual remarks will not affect your cultivation.
"The area we are walking now used to be very chaotic. It was known as Wo Niu Tomb. The Zheng State and the Qu State were fighting fiercely, and several small countries in the surrounding areas were also disturbed. There were also many mountain bandits and bandits. Running around here." Qiao Lin said enthusiastically: "After the battle in Xingyueyuan, both families have become much more peaceful. Our Qi State and Jing State, they always have to choose sides."
It is not unusual for a small team leader to explain the general trend of the world to the Marquis of Wu'an.
At the meeting of the Yellow River, he even explained the battle to Marquis Wu An!
In other words, when Marquis Wu An won the title of the Yellow River, he also contributed, right?
Many people in the army still didn't believe it. This time so many people saw it, and they turned around and slapped them in the face one by one.
"Really?" Jiang Wang asked.
"That's not the case! The dog's brain is about to be knocked out." Qiao Lin vowed: "It means we are worried about our attitude towards Jing Guo, otherwise Zheng and Qu would have been killed long ago."
Jiang Wang, as the unquestioned high-level leader of the Qi State, certainly knew that Zheng and Qu had been fighting openly and secretly to fight for their independence in a relatively fierce way.
But he did not mock Qiao Lin for his ignorance, but said with great interest: "Do you also know about Zheng Guo's situation?"
This place is now called Woniu'ao, and it is located between the two countries of Zheng and Qu. I don't know why it got its name. But it is true that it occupies an extremely large area, and it is also true that it has been in chaos for many years with the tacit consent of Zheng and Qu.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was half-opened. Qiao Lin took the driver's job, sat on the driver's seat, held the reins, and said confidently: "Zheng Guo, their king can't try. He is old and only relies on the power of the country. Shen Lin, who has barely achieved success, has very unstable cultivation, and it is impossible to transcend officialdom.
You can't go any further if you want to. He cannot abdicate. To abdicate now would be to reverse his cultivation and to die. You can only waste your national fortune to maintain your cultivation and hang your life. The civil and military ministers below worked hard and hard, but it was not enough for him. He is now 170 years old, and I don't know how many more years Zheng Guo can keep him hanging.
Jiang Wang asked thoughtfully: "Isn't there Gu Shiyi in Zheng State? He doesn't care?"
Speaking of Gu Shiyi, Qiao Lin also spoke with respect: "Gu Daxia has long said that he will ignore the affairs of the country and will not take action unless he encounters the disaster of destroying the country. The royal family of the Zheng Kingdom has a Gu Daxia, otherwise the current king, He had been dragged off his horse a long time ago.”
Gu Shiyi's reputation as a heroic hero spread far and wide, and even soldiers like Qiao Lin spoke of him with complete clarity.
Thinking of heroes, Jiang Wang also thought of Yan Shaofei, the heroic hero of Wei. He was also a heartbreaking figure. Since that meeting on the Yellow River, I have never heard from him again, and I don’t know where he went.
It is not surprising that one day he will become famous all over the world again, or he will never appear in the ears of the world again.
The present world is grand and the history is vast.
How many heroes seem to shine for a moment, and how many can shine like the blazing sun forever?
Jiang Wang said casually: "Since this place is a bit messy, you should pay more attention."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis." Qiao Lin said: "The general has already arranged the arrangements, and the brothers are very alert."
Jiang Wang added: "The elite soldiers of Tianfu Army are the guards of honor. I don't think there will be many people who don't open their eyes to disturb us."
Qiao Lin is of course proud of you.
He said cheerfully: "That's right! Our team of envoys from the Great Qi Empire don't dare to bring trouble to those little ones. The general will keep your car so tight that even flies can't fly over it. You can practice with peace of mind!"
Before he finished speaking, a sound suddenly sounded -
"Xu Zeming, the disciple of Taixu, please see Jiang Wang, the envoy of Taixu!"
It was the envoy of Taixu who was summoned, not the Marquis of Wu'an of Qi State.
Jiang Wang looked out from the carriage and saw a young man, wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe, standing in front of the motorcade.
Xu Zefu, whom Jiang Wang had met before and was given the Taixu Corner Tower token, although he looked very different, his name was only one character different, so he should be his fellow apprentices.
Its popularity is powerful and unfathomable, which can well reflect the heritage of the Taixu Sect.
Jiang Wang waved his hand, signaling to his entourage not to be on guard, and said loudly, "I'll ask the Taoist Commander to talk to you in the car."
Xu Zeming was not polite, he just took a step and squeezed into the carriage.
Compared with the calm and calm Xu Zefu, he is obviously much sharper.
Sitting opposite Jiang Wang in the carriage of Kuan Jing, he raised his hand, lowered the curtain first, and blocked the sound, as if he wanted to discuss a secret.
Jiang Wang calmly picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and asked, "I wonder what the relationship between Taoist Xu Zefu and Your Excellency is?"
"He is my senior brother." Xu Zeming probably didn't want to mention Xu Zefu. He just replied casually and said: "From now on, I will contact you about matters related to Taixu Illusion Realm."
Jiang Wang asked: "Is there something wrong with Taoist Xu Zefu?"
Xu Zeming glanced at him: "Actually, whoever contacts you has no impact on you."
"This is just a word of concern for an old friend." Jiang Wang said with a smile.
Xu Zeming then said: "He suffered backlash when he created Taoism. He is still recovering from his injuries and will not be able to get out of seclusion for three to five years."
"In this way" Jiang Wang sat with his hands folded, still with a slight smile on his face: "I remember that when I communicated with Mr. Zefu, I did not mention any follow-up matters. The materials were taken out of the place, and the Taixu corner tower was built, thus obtaining the ownership, and that’s it. I don’t know why the leader came to visit today? "
Xu Zeming also felt the alienation in Jiang Wang's attitude, and said seriously: "Jiang Wang, please believe that I have no ill intentions towards you. The Taixu Illusion Realm is the greatest creation in the world, and it was born for the glorious future of the human race. One day , it will definitely be able to realize all the brilliant ideas. As the messenger of Taixu, you are a part of this great thing like us. We should unite as one and work hard for the human race. "
Jiang Wang's smile was calm: "I fully recognize the greatness of Taixu Illusion... But Mr. Xu, you haven't said you have anything to do with me.
This time I am on a national mission to the grassland, so I may not have much time to waste. "
Xu Zeming also said: "Since the development of Taixu Illusion Realm, a large number of monks have joined every day, covering almost all countries in the world.
A large number of problems inevitably arise. For example, some people who should not participate participate; for example, some people use special magical powers to disrupt the rules of Taixu Illusion; for example, some people do not join through Taixu Corner Tower or Yue Yao, but adopt abnormal methods. These behaviors will all It affects the stability of Taixu Illusionary Realm and adds a lot of unnecessary burdens to our work. In the long run, it will affect the healthy operation of Taixu Illusion and the future of the human race. "
This is a man who is really used to grand narratives.
From a historical perspective, such people are often very dangerous.
"So?" Jiang Wang asked.
Xu Zeming sat meticulously and spoke in a very serious tone: "Our Taixu Sect adheres to the principles of absolute impartiality and absolute neutrality and should not interfere too much in the Taixu Illusion Realm. At present, we are the participants who hope to promote the Taixu Illusion Realm. , solve these problems yourself."
Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "How to solve it?"
"Our current plan is like this. Envoy, you can also help refer to it and provide your opinions." Xu Zeming said: "We hope to create a Taixu Scroll that can deal with some problems and encounters that arise during the operation of the Taixu Illusion Realm. Some of the troubles encountered and those who caused the troubles are recorded on it. In the form of bounties, tasks are issued to all participants in Taixu Illusion, so as to achieve a healthy autonomous cycle of Taixu Illusion. Everything ends as it should. Si, we will not interfere."
"Sounds very good." Jiang Wang said: "Then why didn't you do this?"
"Because not everyone, like you, the messenger, has a clear understanding of Taixu Illusion and its great significance." Xu Zeming said:
"The operation of Taixu Illusion needs to be carried out under the supervision of all the major forces in the world. If we want to make any kind of adjustment, we need to get the approval of most of the forces. This also includes the creation of Taixu Scroll."
Jiang Wang picked up the tea cup and said softly: "Then you are looking for the wrong person."
"I think I am not a confused person. I can still see something with these eyes." Xu Zeming looked at Jiang Wang with sincere eyes: "There is no doubt that the influence of Marquis Wu'an of Da Qi in Qi State, you can mobilize The political resources are obvious to all. We hope you can help promote this matter. Of course, we don't just invite you, you just need to express your attitude when discussing this matter in your country. We are willing to pay generous compensation for this ."
"You?" Jiang Wang smiled: "I would like to ask, Mr. Xu... can you represent the entire Taixu Sect?"
Xu Zeming said without hesitation: "Of course."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang said, "I will consider it."
Xu Zeming frowned: "But you haven't heard what the reward is yet."
Jiang Wang thought that he was already ignorant of the ways of the world, but this Xu Zeming turned out to be much better.
I don’t know how to serve tea to guests, and I don’t know how to speak politely.
Perhaps he has been isolated from the world for too long, or perhaps because of the aloof status of the Taixu Sect, he is rarely rejected by others, so he cannot understand rejections that are too tactful?
Jiang Wang had a headache. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the last communication between Mr. Zefu and I, as the Taixu Messenger, my only obligation is to build the Taixu Corner Tower and maintain the Taixu Corner Tower. I think I will do it." Not bad. As for other things, they are beyond my ability and not my responsibility. I have my own things to do and can't spare too much energy. Sorry, I can't create greatness with you.
Xu Zeming looked at him in confusion, and his eyes slowly revealed a somewhat hurt look: "Messenger, I have heard about your deeds, learned about your past, and have some knowledge of you. We all have good intentions for the world, we are all passionate about the future, we all have ideals, we are all sincere and I thought we should be the same people."
"Maybe you don't know me well enough." Jiang Wang didn't intend to explain more. After saying this, he smiled and said, "The Taoist priest doesn't plan to go to Muguo with me, does he?"
Xu Zeming looked at him deeply and said nothing more. He picked up the cup of tea poured for him, took a sip, and then put it down.
The whole person just became blurred and disappeared into the carriage.
