Jiang Wang left Yun Guo early in the morning.銆
Facing the morning glow, it disappeared into the long mountain road.
He had never appeared here publicly, and he had never allowed himself to stay in this place for too long.
It's like he never allows himself to be vulnerable.
Jiang Anan had an inadvertent question that made him toss and turn on the soft couch in Ding Yunxie for a long time——
"Brother, where have you been?"
He saw the strong curiosity about the world in those beautiful big eyes.
Jiang Anan is nine years old and has almost never left Yun Country!銆
The only time was when Ye Lingxiao personally protected the road, A Chou accompanied him, and Ye Qingyu took action to capture and kill Zhang Linchuan's substitute clone Luo Huanhuan.
That chivalrous act of justice that Jiang An'an talked about so much and filled several pieces of paper was essentially just that Ye Lingxiao was worried about leaving her alone in Cloud City.
It has been five years since he left Maplewood City, and Jiang Anan has stayed in the secret land of Lingxiao for five full years. Occasionally, the next trip to Yuncheng is considered a trip.
What clamped down on her freedom?
Jiang Wang has been moving forward very hard, but he still feels that he is walking too slowly.
When he came to Yun Country from the Mysterious Realm, he walked very quickly and hurriedly because he had to rush for time, and he also disappeared along the way.
Now that we have left Yun State and returned to Qi State, we have much more time, and we no longer have to travel day and night. Although it can't be said to be arrogant, he just wore a hood casually and didn't cover up much.銆
The road from Yun State to Qi State is long. He has walked it before and continues to walk it now.
I used to walk slowly because I was not strong enough and I was cautious.
I walk slowly now because I want to walk slowly.
Feel the meaning of time in the steps measured by space.
The young man who traveled far with his sword was not fearless. It's just that there is no country behind him and no shade above his head. We can only brave the wind and rain, and overcome thorns and thorns.
Over the years, he traveled back and forth between Qi and Yun many times. In order to hide his whereabouts, the route was different each time. Whether traveling through the Southern Territory, Northern Territory, or Central Territory, he is very familiar with it.
This time he passed by the river viewing platform, took the Suanni Bridge, passed through Wo and Ji, and crossed Zhongshan.銆
Yes, he came to Zhongshan Kingdom again.
Back then, he was falsely accused of being a demon and was wanted by the world in Jingshitai. He was almost taken to Yujing Mountain for trial and died unjustly.
It was at this place that he was captured by Zhao Xuanyang, the genius of Jingguo.
Ji Zhaonan once came here with a gun to rescue him. Not far away, on a Jiuzhen Bridge, Shi Mingjui once fought against Pei Xinghe.
Just like the journey he took, Guanhetai and the capital of Zhongshan. He won for Qi the honor of being the leader of the Yellow River and the rich benefits of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. Qi also gave courtesy to the genius of other countries.
Now he is still sitting in the restaurant where he stayed at that time, listening to people talking loudly, but no one mentioned his name again. Both the meeting of the Yellow River and the hunt for demons in the world were already events in the year 3919 of the Taoist calendar. Several months have passed since he escaped from the hinterland of the demon clan and returned from the world of Shenxiao. There are many heroes in the Central Region, and the drinkers have no shortage of conversation topics.
No matter how turbulent things are overseas, people in the Central Territory generally don't pay much attention. The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons is right under Tianjing City, and the story of the demon world is even more touching.銆
They discussed Chunyu Gui, Chen Suan, Xu San, Pei Hongjiu, Lou Junlan, and Taiyu Li Yi. By the way, they also mentioned Chongxuan Zun who was practicing swordsmanship in the demon world.
Jiang Wang listened for a few times, but he didn't hear anything bad about Zhong Xuanzun, so he became uninterested.
People from the Central Region who are accustomed to have their eyes set high above their heads will always speak highly of Zhong Xuanzun with praises. What is perfect and rare to see in a thousand years, what is peerless in splendor and eternal talent...
In their mouths, it seemed that he was surpassing Chun Yugui and chasing Li Yi! As a subordinate citizen of Jing State, why did the people of Zhongshan not admire Jing but instead admire Qi? I wonder if Chunyu Guitong disagrees?
Thinking back to the time when these Zhongshan people talked about the other person who was also known as the Twin Jewels of Qi Dynasty, they were a treacherous traitor. The originally ordinary wine in the cup actually had a bit more sourness.
The quietness of the restaurant happened in an instant.
Of course, Jiang Wang saw the white-clothed Marquis entering the restaurant before those quiet ones.銆
If you say Chongxuanzun, Chongxuanzun will come!
Among the drinkers present, even though they had scolded Fang Qiu and compared Zhongxuanzun horizontally and vertically with hundreds of heroes, none of them had seen Zhongxuanzun with their own eyes.
But his appearance and temperament are really eye-catching. His white clothes are whiter than snow, and his starry eyes are shining in the night. When he stands at the door, he naturally attracts everyone's attention.
And with a glance, he walked towards Jiang Wang.
"Why are you still wearing a cloak?" He gently brushed away some grease on the bench, and then naturally sat down in front of Jiang Wang.
The two of them work side by side as Paoze on the battlefield, and work as door gods in the court. Their relationship is no longer as tense as it was before.
In other words, even during the tense period, they still appreciated each other.銆
Recognize each other and do their best.
Jiang Wang casually took off his cloak and put it aside. He picked up the jug again, flipped the wine glass, and poured a glass of wine for the person in front of him. He said: "Maybe it can protect you from the wind and rain."
Zhong Xuanzun didn't pick up the wine glass. Of course he wouldn't drink this kind of wine, and he'd never come to this kind of restaurant. He just smiled and said, "How can it cover your wind and rain?"
Jiang Wang said quietly: "Better than nothing."
The last time Ji Zhaonan came out of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and arrived here in time.
Zhongxuan Zun, who practiced swordsmanship in the demon world, appeared here so accurately. It would not be a chance encounter.
When he left the Mysterious Realm, he did not hand over military affairs to anyone. In fact, there was no military affairs to hand over. Except for himself, there was nothing left in his army.銆
But although the dust of the Mystery War has settled, there is still a lot of finishing work to do.
Qi Xiao has fallen from the extraordinary level, and Cao Jie is not suitable to come forward for many things, and he still needs to recover from his injuries.
As a Qi Fang general whose title was only lower than that of Cao Du, he actually shouldered some responsibilities and could also hold the knife to kill cattle and divide many interests, but he chose to leave and walk away.
This is nothing, at most it bears the name of arrogance.
In the end, he disobeyed Qi Xiao's military order, refused to attack Chen Zhitao and Zhu Biqiong, and cut off Diaohailou's future, which was a very serious violation of the law.
If Qi Xiao dies unfortunately and there is no evidence of his death, there is still room for debate. But he just sent Qi Xiao back to Jueming Island, and strictly ordered no one to interfere with Qi Shuai's recovery... He should have woken up by now, and he didn't know how to impeach him.
Does Jiang Wang do things without considering the consequences?銆
Maybe he had already considered it.
But he decided to do it anyway.
Just as he saw Zhong Xuanzun sitting across from him, he was still so calm.
Between his friends and himself, he always chooses the former.
Between conscience and future, he would rather kill the latter.
After Zhong Xuanzun walked in, the whole restaurant became much quieter. People talked in low voices and looked at him with concern from time to time.
They may not recognize the two of them, but the man in white is already extremely handsome, and the swordsman who has been drinking alone for a long time and has taken off his cloak, sitting opposite him, is not inferior in the slightest.銆
Dressed in blue and white, they are all in their own style, completely unlike the people here!
Zhong Xuanzun was sitting in a casual posture, with a strand of hair in front of his forehead hanging down his clear and bright eyebrows. He asked very casually: "Why did you choose such a restaurant?"
Of course he was talking about the issue of identity. Compared to the status of the Marquis of Da Qi, this restaurant is too shabby, too poor, and too low-end.
"This is my second time coming to this restaurant." Jiang Wang said: "I remember this place wasn't called this name before. Now it's called 'Xuanwu House', which probably refers to the four images."
The restaurant that was in ruins at that time has now been rebuilt. In Jiang Wang's opinion, the name "Xuanwu" also means to use water to extinguish fire. After all, this building was originally burned in his fire realm.
But the waiter, who was just holding a plate of food, came over and said, "The guest has misunderstood. The name of our restaurant has nothing to do with Sixiang."
This waiter is quite bold, and no one else dares to raise his voice for fear of disturbing him. But he answered the conversation casually and without any restraint.銆
"What's that for?" Jiang Wang asked.
While serving dishes, the waiter said proudly: "This is to commemorate the battle that took place here, Zhao Xuanyang versus Jiang Wu'an."
Zhong Xuanzun raised his chin, half-smiling but not smiling: "Is this battle so famous?"
"It's not bad." The waiter said matter-of-factly, "The main thing is that we haven't had any major incidents here. We just happened to catch up, so don't worry too much."
He added: "Besides, isn't Jiang Wu'an doing well now? I heard that he is going to marry the princess of Qi soon."
"Oh?" Chong Xuanzun looked at Jiang Wang meaningfully and said, "I haven't heard of this. There are quite a few princesses in Qi. I wonder which one Jiang Wu'an wants to marry?"
"The most famous one." The waiter vowed, as if he was the wedding groom: "Qi State is likely to have a female emperor, and Jiang Wu'an is very powerful in war. In the battle of Guiyi, he killed a hundred thousand soldiers. , slaughtered five Xiahou, which was more brutal than the massacre in the past——"
"Okay, okay." Seeing that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Wang had to interrupt: "Who did you listen to?"
"Your Majesty, you don't believe me?" The waiter said innocently: "My third aunt's son's senior brother from the academy participated in the Qi-Xia War, and he is knowledgeable about these matters! I heard what my third aunt's son said, that is First-hand information, how could it be wrong?”
Jiang Wang asked, "Is your third aunt's son's senior fellow from the academy a native of Xia?"
"He's from Liguo," the waiter said.
One of the parties watching the fire from across the bank during the Qi-Xia War.
"You don't know the truth, so stop spreading rumors." Jiang Wang said seriously: "The one who killed hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers was the Chongxuan champion. Did you know that? He was a murderer."
Chong Xuanzun raised his eyebrows and remained silent.銆
"I'll tell you what!" The waiter slapped his thigh: "How can someone with the surname Chongxuan be kind?"
He was in awe: "May I ask who you are?"
Jiang Wangdao: "I was the tree beside the pit, and I could see it clearly at that time."
Only then did the waiter realize that he was teasing him. He put away the food plate and bowed before leaving: "You talk a lot, please don't take offense."
"I didn't talk too much, it was just chatting!" Jiang Wang didn't mean to pursue the matter. It's normal for people to talk about things no matter how outrageous they are. Instead, he looked at him with interest: "You are a bold person. I don't know if it's convenient for me to reveal my name." ?”
"You can't tell him." Chongxuan Zun threatened from the side: "Be careful if he goes back to complain and ask Princess Qi to send someone to Zhongshan to get you."
The waiter was not afraid: "This guest officer turns out to be from Qi?"
Chong Xuanzun looked at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang nodded.
"Hayang." The waiter smiled and said, "My name is Haiyang. I chose it myself."
Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "Why did you choose this name?"
The waiter said: "I have never seen the sea, only the long river. That was three years ago. I was running with the caravan. The waves were hitting the sky. Not to mention how beautiful it is! The long river is so beautiful. There is a name, the vast sea of land. I think the real vast sea must be more beautiful and magnificent than the long river."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment: "Yes. That is really a beautiful place."
It doesn't take many years.銆
Here in Zhongshan Kingdom, the dangers of the sea are no longer forgotten.
Those sacrifices and heroic deeds gradually lost their taste in the repeated chewing after meals.
I wish it was a wonderful place.
I wish I had never seen the sea.
Seeing that Jiang Wang was no longer interested in talking, the waiter named Haiyang said, "Guests, please use it with caution" and turned around to leave.
And Zhong Xuanzun just sat there quietly, still not touching the food or wine.
Jiang Wang took the chopsticks and ate for a few mouthfuls before he took the initiative and asked, "Come take me back?"
Chongxuan complied: "It's better for me to come than for others to come."
"That's the truth." Jiang Wang nodded: "Wait until I finish eating these, don't waste them."
When Chong Xuanzun came to see someone, it could be said that he was just a reminder. If it were Shi Mingjuan and Xiu Yuan who came over, they would be guilty.
"Eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Zhong Xuanzun has a temperament that is far away and suddenly close, just like the smile at the corner of his mouth, which is always looming. When you catch it seriously, it disappears.
This is an elusive figure.
Jiang Wang added: "Actually, I want to go back myself. I want you to make one more trip."
Chong Xuanzun only said: "This is your attitude."
"That makes sense." Jiang Wang didn't follow any dining etiquette. He chatted while eating and drinking, and his tone was very relaxed: "How are you in the demon world?"
Zhong Xuanzun just watched him eat, drink, and... chatted with him.
"Not bad." Hou, the champion of Daqi, said slowly, "I just get a little confused occasionally."
"What's the confusion?" Jiang Wang said confidently: "As a senior who has ventured into the demon world, maybe I can give you some life experience."
Zhong Xuanzun shrugged: "I don't know why, many times I just make the most time-saving choice... They all think I am brainless."
"That's strange." Jiang looked at him: "Does anyone dare to say you have no brain to your face?"
Of course there are people who talk about Chong Xuanzun behind his back, and they talk loudly. For example, Chongxuan Sheng. But it really takes some courage to dare to scold openly. This is a master who loves to hit people on the head with the sun disk.銆
"They scolded them very directly." Chongxuan followed.
Jiang Wang asked with great interest: "Why did you curse?"
"Quite similar to Wu'an!"
boom! ! !
On this day, everyone in Zhongshan State's Lanshan City heard an earth-shaking loud noise.
The loud noise was like thunder, rolling incessantly.
The entire Xuanwu Tower was illuminated by flames.銆
