The frost is biting and the wind and snow are not stopping.
A sneaky figure wearing rags and a pile of grass on his head finally emerged from the deep mountains and forests.
His rags and straw hat were piled with snow, making him inconspicuous in this wilderness.
Needless to say, he carefully avoided the sight of many demon warriors along the way, and it goes without saying how dexterous his movements were and how amazing his grasp of the environment was.
In short, after all his hard work, he finally walked out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains quietly, returned to the wasteland, approached the Frostwind Valley, and headed towards the direction of escaping!
He, Mr. Jiang, is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment. He has experienced all kinds of hardships and can bear them all.
But only by truly walking in this world of monsters can you deeply appreciate the beauty of this world! Although there are enemies in this world, and although we often encounter life and death crises, there are even more friends. No matter who we offend or make enemies, there is always a place to stay. No matter how badly injured you are, where can you find someone to treat you?
Not to mention how majestic and majestic he was who had fought hard all the way to become a hegemonic prince and destroyed the Wusheng Cult with one word. As long as he doesn't do anything that challenges the bottom line of the hegemony, there is no problem in walking sideways in this world. But here in the demon world, he is walking on thin ice and is on tenterhooks every day. Seeing a few little monsters that can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, they hide in secret and have no hope of recovery and no chance of escaping. These hard days are too difficult to bear, and whoever loves them will let them pass!
Judging from the war preparations of these demon clans, a large-scale war between the two clans in this area is about to break out. If he can't seize this opportunity, how can he sneak back to the Civilized Basin to live up to his reputation as a lord for his military exploits?
Although he was not very good at arranging troops, his ability to seize the opportunity to charge into battle was something even Chong Xuan and Fatty could praise highly.
It is a good wind that sends me to the blue clouds with its power. Another saying is that if you don't take it one day at a time, you will suffer the consequences.
Of course, he was not willing to miss this rare opportunity. He was keen and decisive and did not hesitate to take the risk to cross paths with the demon warriors in the group. He just relied on the insight of a strong man to avoid the sight of the dense demon clan, and stood in the already noisy and noisy place. In the deep mountains and old forests, a lonely road emerges.
At the most dangerous time, a demon warrior had already walked up to the thorn bush where he was hiding. If he took one more step forward, he would be able to find him. At that time, he would have to go on a killing spree and miss this golden opportunity. Fortunately, the guy was killed by other demons in the end. The clan warriors were called away. They both had good luck at the same time.
He lives in the same mountain forest as these monster warriors, but with his control of space and vision, Jiang Wang seems to be parallel to another time and space. This kind of escape experience really sharpened his body skills, but Jiang Wang just hoped that it would never happen again.
No matter how difficult the process is, the most difficult time is to get through it now and come to the wasteland.
If the demon race and the human race are preparing for a war, there must be a huge battlefield depth before the war begins, and there are opportunities everywhere.
He believed that as long as he was given an opening, he would be able to seize the opportunity and escape successfully. Although his body was still injured at this time, it was no problem to escape the pursuit of several demon kings. Even if there is a real demon nearby, once he makes a noise, the strong men from the human race will immediately come to respond.
There is great hope of escaping back!
He held his breath and concentrated, and as soon as he came out of the mountains, he crawled in the knee-deep snow. While melting the snow in front of me, I condensed the snow behind me, keeping myself in a small snow pit and moving forward with the most caution.
When traveling a hundred miles, Jiang Wang told himself that he must stay vigilant. Until a certain moment, he carefully took out the red mirror and looked up into the distance with the help of its reflection. He didn't even dare to use the extraordinary power of the red makeup mirror to see into the wasteland, because he was worried about disturbing any powerful demon clan. Just simply use the red makeup mirror as a mirror.
Then I suddenly saw——
In the middle of nowhere, as far as the eye can see. A towering monster city stands!
Although I could only see an outline, and even though I was looking at the reflection in the red mirror, that powerful, ferocious, and heavy feeling came to my face and almost filled my heart!
Jiang Wang suddenly retracted his red makeup mirror, buried himself completely in the snow, and took a breath of cold air, as if he had sucked the wind and snow into his lungs. While his whole body was feeling cold, his breathing stopped and he became motionless.
What's happening here? Such a big Frostwind Valley! Where did it go?
I still remember the night I left Frostwind Valley. I was seriously injured, the wind and snow were heavy, the surroundings were cold and quiet, the place was empty, and I looked around in confusion. When I think back, everything is still vivid in my mind.
Why now, when I turn around and open my eyes, a monster city of that size appears?
Jiang Wang couldn't help but wonder if he was looking in the wrong direction or taking the wrong road.
But he buried himself in the snow, thought carefully for a long time, checked and compared the map repeatedly, and confirmed that he was not going wrong. He, Jiang, was not Yi Shishi. He had only followed Chong Xuansheng since he was a child, and there was nothing wrong with him. Life experience. He left Zhuang State at the age of seventeen to explore the world alone.
, Over the years, he has traveled south and north, conquering the east and fighting in the west. How could you get lost?
Furthermore, after so many days and wandering around in this area like a lonely ghost for so long, although he has not learned the demon language, at least he has a thorough understanding of the surrounding map environment. You can't go wrong even if you close your eyes!
The map is right, the direction is right, the location is right, and my eyes are not blind.
So what went wrong?
An innate boundary gate that should not disappear, and a large monster city that should not appear. This world is ridiculous!
Ridiculous!
But at this moment, Jiang Wang obviously couldn't find anyone to ask for an answer.
He didn't even dare to look at the big city in the distance, even if it was reflected in the mirror.
He doesn't know enough about the power of real demons and celestial demons, and he won't use his shallow knowledge to speculate. He knew that staying away was the only right choice.
The moment he saw the big monster city, his mind went blank. Thousands of threads exploded, but were quickly suppressed again.
Jiang Wang didn't leave himself much time to be shocked and frustrated, he only thought about how to face it.
In any case, there is a big monster city blocking here, and it is absolutely impossible for him to return to the Civilized Basin from this direction.
No matter how good his body skills were, no matter how experienced he was in escaping, and no matter how strong his combat power was, he would never be able to pass safely near a large monster city. To be able to lead a racial war of this level, it is rare to say that there is a true demon sitting in the city.
In his heyday, anyone approaching him would be seeking death, not to mention that now he cannot use even 30% of his combat power.
It’s not despair, although it does seem like there is no way ahead. There is no need to blame others. Although he had great hopes and took great risks before coming here. But that’s how things are. It doesn’t mean that if you have high hopes, you will definitely succeed if you work hard and put in a lot of effort. There is no such truth.
He originally came here to look for opportunities, but now he just doesn't have any.
Thinking on the bright side, at least now I have got a piece of useful news - the way back to Frostwind Valley is dead, and there is no need to wait eleven months to come back again and fail again.
Not to mention waiting for eleven months, even if we wait for eleven years, there will be no chance unless the human army comes, razing this monster city and planting flags all over this wasteland - but how easy is it? In the current demon world, the balance of war between humans and demons has been maintained for hundreds of years.
If the Civilization Basin could be broken out so easily, how could it be so easy?
I won't wait until Jiang Wang comes over to start.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything or do anything. He silently put the red makeup mirror into the storage box and held the storage box under his tongue. There is still nothing on him except the clothes of the demon clan - even if a keen demon clan expert notices this, he will only catch the aura of the demon clan.
Then he started to back away.
Silently erasing all the tiny traces, he slowly backed away. Although he doesn’t know what to do next or what other way to return to the Civilization Basin, at least his goal now is very clear - he will return to the mountains again, and once again get lost in the presence of those monster warriors who entered the mountains, and look for him again. 's place of residence.
This time, I probably need to explore further afield. Then go further.
No one can see this scene, but it is worth remembering -
Under the wind and snow, it is at the junction of Tianxi Wasteland and Shiwanda Mountain. A crawling figure covered in snow came and went again.
Quite funny, not ridiculous.
The golden sun in the demon world in winter cannot bring warmth.
The stronger a person stands at the top, the more "cold" he can feel. The elegant and dignified Tianyao Zhuyi withdrew his gaze from the distance. There was a hint of worry in the picturesque eyes: "The situation is not right. More and more powerful human beings have gathered in Wu'an City, far exceeding the scale of an ordinary war."
Not far in front of her, Ape Immortal Court had its back to the entire city, sitting alone on the high battlements, its flamboyant red cloak hanging down quietly. His golden eyes looked into the distance, as if he was looking into the eyes of a certain being, and he said indifferently: "Other than Zhenjun, no matter how many people come, it's just a matter of one halberd."
Zhu Yi said: "Jiang Mengxiong doesn't plan to leave yet?"
Ape Immortal Court still didn't look back: "It's a pity that when he let him run away last time and he came back to kill him, he would definitely not be alone.
people. Zhu Yi frowned slightly: "I'm afraid the matter is not simple. I have summoned the Heavenly Court and asked them to urgently mobilize a few true demons and the army." "
Although the Heavenly Court Monster Clan has become history, the current Monster Clan still calls themselves this way. Of course, the human race would only call it Demon Court.
"Speaking of which, Jiang Mengxiong, what happened this time?" Ape Immortal Court found it difficult to understand: "It's just a genius of the clan. Why should such a rare thing cause such a big fuss? Frostwind Valley has also been penetrated, and the battlefield has also been broken. The opening was opened, and the fight was fought. Even after it was over, you still didn’t leave, and you still kept transferring people?
It seems like we didn’t take advantage? The demon kings Shi Shanwen, Ying Kexun, Xi Yanbing, and Lu Qiyi were all dead. especially
Lion Shan heard that it was the old lion's beloved one, and the old lion didn't even say he was going to swallow Yanlao City in one bite! "
"You never read the intelligence." Zhu Yi sighed: "The name of the human genius who died was Jiang Wang. He helped Qi win the leader of the Yellow River, and he was still on the battlefield. He relied on his solid military exploits to become a marquis. He was the most powerful person. A young overlord with military honors. He is very influential in Qi State." "That doesn't mean that one real person comes one after another." Yuan Xianting raised his eyebrows: "Both of them are surnamed Jiang. Are they Jiang Mengxiong's illegitimate son?" "Jiang Mengxiong has it? Why is it necessary to have an illegitimate child? To hide it from you? Afraid of your misunderstanding?" Zhu Yi said helplessly: "The reason why they are so excited this time is because Jiang Wang did not die at the hands of our soldiers, but in the frost wind. After the struggle in the valley, being attacked from behind by their human race must have been involved in some kind of internal struggle." Ha! "Ape Immortal Ting laughed angrily: "If he is stabbed in the back, he will go to whoever he wants to fight with us to the death. What's going on? "
Zhu Yi said: "Their unified statement now is that someone is colluding with us and being instigated by us."
"It doesn't matter if you really do it, no matter how hard you fight, you continue to fight. You didn't even have time to do anything, and you were beaten to the door, tsk tsk." The Ape Immortal Court turned around, and at this moment, its fangs protruded, revealing its fierce look, and its murderous intent almost turned into reality. The essence was lost, and the red shawl tied around the shoulders seemed to float into a river of blood at this moment!
And his voice was extremely soft: "I can't hold back my anger." Zhu Yi ignored his temper and only thought about it: "Is it possible that revenge for that Marquis of Wu'an is just a pretense. In fact, they want to Take the opportunity to break out of the Five Evils Basin? If we ignore it and just regard it as an ordinary act of revenge, we will suffer a big loss.
"The human race is cunning and must be guarded against." Ape Immortal Court didn't know what came to mind. He restrained everything in an instant and slowly looked back into the distance:
"But since I'm here, they don't have to think about this anymore." Jiang Mengxiong was also a little confused!
Of course he came to the demon world personally to stand up for the princes of Daqi and avenge the genius of Daqi, but ultimately, it was more to clean up the mess caused by his apprentice.
With Jiang Wang's current reputation in the Qi Kingdom, if something happened in the demon world, it would be appropriate for the True Lord to come and take a look at the situation, but it doesn't have to be him, Jiang Mengxiong.
In fact, when Ji Zhaonan left the demon world and returned to the human world, he went directly to the Political Affairs Hall to report the entire incident without telling him at all.
It was the eldest disciple Chen Zeqing who sent the message through a special channel so that he could learn about it at the first time.
And he knew very well how much the emperor valued Jiang Wang.
That was to train Jiang Wang as the future Optimus Jade Pillar.
How many people can be personally supervised by the emperor to study? How many people dare to talk back to the emperor at every turn and still rise higher and higher?
In the past years, there have been many so-called direct critics, but the emperor really doesn't accept that.
When the deposed prince was imprisoned in the Qingshi Palace, there was a so-called criticizing minister who criticized Yan Zhijian, saying that he would use death to make the emperor know his bad virtues. The emperor only said one sentence, the word "death" is too strong, and it cannot be expressed in words. Do you want to imitate the lone eagle touching the pillar?
"The lone wolf went on hunger strike and died, and the lone eagle struck the pillar and died" are two short stories recorded in U Four Seas Strange Stories. They talk about the lone wolf and the lone eagle, and represent human integrity.
In the end, the so-called critic had no choice but to hit the pillar three times before he was killed by the crowd of civil servants in the palace.
Have there ever been fewer people who sell their names and sell their integrity?
Er Fengming is very good at this trick, but when will he dare to confront the emperor?
Today, the Sacred Heart alone holds the power and blessings unfathomable.
Jiang Wang was loved by the emperor not because he dared to talk back to the emperor, but because he was Jiang Wang. He used his past experience to win trust, so that he could be himself to a limited extent, and even sometimes talked back to the emperor.
It was precisely because he knew how much the emperor valued Jiang Wang.
Therefore, Chen Zeqing realized the seriousness of the problem and informed him of the matter as soon as possible. So he would come to Linzi urgently to seek a face to face.
He was afraid that something might happen to Ji Zhaonan if he was too late! But the emperor did not see him.
Only the internal official Han Ling came out to say that the emperor was tired and did not want to discuss matters tonight.
If the emperor's anger was something he had anticipated, then the word "fatigued" made him feel the emperor's emotions.
The relationship between Marquis Wu'an and the Emperor was deeper than he imagined. It can be said that in addition to being a monarch and a subject, he was also a teacher and a friend, and he was more like a father and a subject.
Think about it too.
At the top of the court, the two young men who were most valued by the emperor and indeed the most promising, apart from Wu'anhou, were the champions.
When the champion went against the emperor's wishes, he joined the five palaces and set up his own outer building to leave the country, but the emperor did not accept it at all and kept rewarding him.
However, Champion Hou's character is more self-centered, his background is more complicated, and there is the old incident of Zhongxuan Mingtu. No matter what, the emperor cannot treat him as close as he treats Jiang Wang.
The emperor was said to be a loner and a widower, unable to fully relate to his children or the people next to him. Noble families, nobles, civil servants, military generals, old and new Qi people, various parties and factions, the balance of all parties must be controlled with one hand.
Internally, one must regulate the dragon and tiger, and externally, one must have a vision of the world. We should not only look at the current situation, gain and loss of an inch of land, but also look at the long-term success and failure, and the rise and fall of hundreds of years. Everything you say and do needs to be carefully considered.
The heart of heaven is unpredictable, because the heart of the emperor cannot be grasped by people. Today, Emperor Qi controls the world and holds hegemony, but he can smile naturally and be angry casually in front of a few people?
Han Ling counts as one, Li Zhengshu counts as half, Cao Jie counts as half, and Jiang Mengxiong is too powerful now, so he can only count as half.
Among the younger generation, there is only one Jiang Wang.
One day, when Jiang Wang reaches his current position, he will probably only be half of it, but at least now, he can still reveal his heart and show his sincerity to the emperor.
It was precisely because he felt the emperor's mood.
That's why Jiang Mengxiong personally came to the world of Heavenly Prison and asked Xiuyuan to be a witness to prove Ji Zhaonan's innocence. He even penetrated the Frostwind Valley directly, opened up a new battlefield, and tried his best to save this great Qi Tianjiao.
After doing everything he could, he opened up a big city and worked for the long-term interests of the Qi Kingdom.
But to be honest, he supervised the construction of Wu'an City in order to maximize the use of Wu'an Hou's fall to gain benefits for Qi. It was also to cover Jiang Wang's possible survival. In the short term, there is only confrontation and deterrence, and there is no intention to break out of the Civilized Basin and destroy the monster city. We didn’t have that plan, and we didn’t prepare so many people.
As a result, all of you Xiyue'an, Yun State, Mu State, and Chu State are all hungry and have sent experts to Wu'an City. What do you want?
I'm afraid that Yuanxianting will misunderstand!
