Chapter 4: Deeper and deeper
On the way back to Qi, with Chongxuan Zun accompanying him, it was no longer possible to keep a low profile.
He can eat the wind and drink the dew, wear the stars and the moon, but Chong Xuan Zun is unwilling to settle down in a slightly worse environment.
He swaggered all the way, and when he arrived in the Eastern Region, he was even more unscrupulous.
The two youngest hegemonic military figures in the world walked hand in hand. Even if there was no alliance between Zhu He and the promise of the stars and the moon, there were only a few short-sighted people who dared to block the way——
Except Wang Yiwu in front of Linzi City.
He stood coldly outside the city gate, his tall and thin figure like a flagpole, his military uniform was like a flag, and he was making a hunting sound.
Chongxuanzun smiled when he saw him: "Who is General Wang standing guard for?"
As a soldier who fought all the way up from the lowest level, he once defeated all the nine soldiers in the same realm, and was the number one person in Tongtian realm in ancient and modern times. Before the peerless geniuses like Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Zun, Wang Yiwu's current cultivation level in Wailou realm Indeed, we have fallen behind.
But this did not diminish his pride.
Standing in front of Mingyu, I also know that it is not a stubborn stone, but has deep beauty.
Facing the beautiful scenery of the mountains, we still take our time and understand where our scenery lies.
His life is like his footsteps, every step is measured like a ruler, every step is precise and clear.
"I defend the capital for the emperor!" Wang Yiwu said proudly, turning slightly sideways, losing some of his seriousness, and extending his hand to guide: "I also occasionally look at the wine flag for the champion."
Chong Xuanzun strode towards the city gate, looking very relaxed: "What kind of wine are you drinking today?"
Wang Yiwu nodded to Jiang Wang as a greeting and replied: "Your favorite wine."
The most famous and expensive wine in Qi is naturally the "Luming" from the Xunlin series produced in Lushuang County, which is extremely popular in Linzi. A contemporary account said: "Those who are good at wine in Beijing all use Lu Ming's aged wine as their facade."
But Zhongxuanzun only loves "Qianqiu". This wine is a famous wine from the Chang Kingdom. It is said that the brewing method is inherited from the ancient Yang Dynasty.
Except for the royal family of Changwang who drank it themselves and paid tribute to the emperor of Qi, this wine was almost not circulated outside. It is a fine wine that cannot be bought with a Dao Yuan Stone. Wang Yiwu must have put a lot of thought into preparing it.
In response to Wang Yiwu's greeting, Jiang Wangyi just nodded slightly.
Chongxuan Zun waved and said with a smile: "Marquis Wu'an is here with us, we will return together and drink together!"
Before Jiang Wang could refuse, a voice rang out: "This opportunity for Marquis Wu'an to pick up the wind and wash away the dust should be given to me!"
A luxurious carriage stopped on the side of the road. After the carriage curtain was opened, it was the gentle and handsome face of the Lord of Yangxin Palace. He smiled in the carriage and said: "The champion and General Wang will go to get together first. I have been hosting a banquet for a long time." , it’s not good to leave it empty!”
Chong Xuanzun glanced at Jiang Wang and saw that he was hesitant, so he smiled and waved, walked side by side with Wang Yiwu, and left in a relaxed manner.
The demon world and its team are on a bright front. By bringing Jiang Wang back to Linzi, his additional mission has been completed. Rest when you need to, and read Xianshu if you want to. He is used to walking straight on the road, cutting off all nonsense without confusion, and he is not as bitter and hateful as Jiang Wang.
The undisciplined young master from a well-known family and the proud General Leng who was born in the military have very different temperaments, but they are unexpectedly harmonious when they get together.
Jiang Wuxie looked at Jiang Wang with a smile: "I used beauty as my pillow and paved the floor with primeval stones, but I couldn't invite Marquis Wu An, so I had to come over in person, blocking him halfway!"
Jiang Wang cupped his hands and apologized: "It's not that I can't drink His Highness's wine. It's just that Jiang doesn't love Fengyue, so it's hard to be kind."
"No! Girls admire heroes, heroes love beauties, that's what people want. How can the world's worries have nothing to do with Fengyue?" Jiang Wuxie does have a pair of passionate eyes. When he looks at you seriously, you seem to be able to feel it. The stories during this period can easily affect his mood.棹
Why are so many outstanding women fascinated by him? In addition to his status as the crown prince of Da Qi and his handsome face, these eyes also bear a great responsibility.
His voice was also extremely charming, gentle yet noble, and he said meaningfully: "Either Marquis Wu An has not seen the true romance, or Marquis Wu An's romance is already in his heart."
"I don't dare to talk about Fengyue in front of His Highness." Jiang Wang smiled and waved his hand: "I am a generation that values cultivation. Although I haven't seen it, I don't want to."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Wuxie said with a smile: "Let's just drink, chat, and talk about life!"
"Today is really unlucky." Jiang Wang still refused: "I am about to go to the palace to meet the saint, and I don't dare to delay on the way."
Jiang Wuxie still opened the curtain: "Then I'll give you a ride."
Speaking of this, if Jiang Wangruo refuses again, he will not give Jiang Wuxie any face at all, and the relationship will be turned to his enemy.棹
So he lifted the corner of his robe, bent down and got into the carriage.
The carriage was as fragrant as ever.
Soft couch, warm stove, jade cup and gold pot.
One is charming and the other is pure, accompanied by two beauties.
Peeling lychees with jade hands and serving wine with red lips, he is more extravagant than all the treasures in the car.
Jiang Wang sat down opposite Jiang Wuxie.
Jiang Wuxie smiled and spoke softly to the two beauties, urging them to go to another car to rest first.棹
After they got out of the car in a coquettish manner, Jiang Wuxie did not straighten her clothes, but poured wine for Jiang Wang, and asked slightly drunkenly: "From the perspective of Marquis Wu An, how do these two beauties look like?"
Jiang Wang said objectively: "My cultivation level is acceptable, but my combat vigilance is insufficient."
Jiang Wuxie laughed dumbly, and after a while he said, "Xiao Si met you in the academy last time, and he often talked to me about it when he came back."
The carriage went straight to the palace, and there was no bump in the road at all.
"Xiao Si?"
"Oh, her name is Qin Liao."
"It turns out to be Professor Qin." Jiang Wang was still impressed by this professor from the Academy, "I wonder what she said?"
Jiang Wuxie smiled and said, "I say you, Jiang Qingyang, are smart and eager to learn. You are not a vulgar martial artist like some people say. You are actually an all-rounder in both civil and military arts."
Jiang Wang liked to hear this, but of course he still had to be modest. He waved his hand and said, "Master Qin is so complimentary."
"Alas!" Jiang Wuxie sighed suddenly: "You were the first to come to Wen Yushui Pavilion, but I was too optimistic about your future and asked for too much, so that you transferred to Huaying Palace... Then I thought about it, I really regret it all the time!"
When I went to the sea to rescue Zhu Biqiong, I really had to beg my grandfather to sue my grandmother, and it was so difficult. But when I look back at it after the passage of time, I don’t feel the pain anymore. The anxiety, tension, suffering, no way to ask for help, and hard thinking at that time are just a profound memory after a few years, like a painting hanging there. It is so lifelike that it can be used as a joke.
Jiang Wang smiled in a relaxed tone: "I still remember that I said 'good luck is over' at that time, and I have no complaints against His Highness. Speaking of which, I also have a business under my name now. When doing transactions, of course I need your love." Hopefully, the chips are even. At that time, the potential I showed was not enough, so if I were Your Highness, I would not agree and I would ask for more. There is really nothing to blame."
"It turns out that I was wrong. Third sister is still more discerning." Jiang Wuxie sighed: "I am so far away that I am alone!"
"Palace Master Huaying..." Jiang Wang paused before continuing: "She is not a transaction."
Jiang Wuxie pushed the wine cup and motioned for Jiang Wang to clink glasses. After drinking the glass, he said: "This time you went to conquer the Mysterious Realm, no one has heard anything about Qi Shuai and you... You should know that Qi Shuai has always been... Are you supporting my third sister? Of course you know, otherwise you wouldn’t have given her 100% trust and wouldn’t have stepped into the Saha Dragon Realm unprepared.”
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said: "Qi Shuai is Qi Shuai, and Palace Master Huaying is Huaying Palace Master. If Qi Xiao implements Palace Master Huaying's will in everything, she is not Qi Xiao."
"Of course. No one can ever restrict Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao is only loyal to himself." Jiang Wuxie did not deny Qi Xiao's free will, but said instead: "Actually, you don't have to be in a hurry to come back. You can take some time outside to relax. . Although there are some material objections among the government and the public, they have already been suppressed by me. In this battle in the Mysterious Realm, you should be credited with both merit and demerit."
Jiang Wang looked at him quietly.
His eyes were slightly sad, but his voice was very powerful: "After Shi Yi left, more of the military power that supported him went to Third Sister. More of the civil servant power that supported him went to me. In addition, more of the power of the civil servants who supported him went to me. In addition, he has always supported me. The power of the clan is quite effective when I speak in Linzi now. A few material arguments can be easily settled, so why hurt my genius?"
Jiang Wang recalled in a daze what he had heard people say about the crown princes.
Speaking of the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi, he is "the most worthy of this emperor".棹
Speaking of the Ninth Prince Jiang Wuxie, he is "quite similar to the Martial Ancestor".
He had always felt that the only similarity between Jiang Wuxie and Emperor Qi Wu was that they were romantic and handsome. Only Jiang Wuxie's inadvertent display of muscles at this moment made him see a method that was somewhat "similar to that of the Martial Ancestor".
He is already a high-ranking member of the empire. Is the political power Jiang Wuxie silently grasps enough to affect his reputation at this level?
Jiang Wang did not remain silent for too long, and only asked: "What do you want, Your Highness?"
"I want nothing." Jiang Wuxie laughed: "I don't want to make a deal with you now!"
Jiang Wang sighed softly: "Jiang Wang accepts His Highness's wishes and doesn't have to do it in the future. Since I have done some things, no matter what the consequences are, I should face them. Let them talk."
"It's just a small matter, so there's no need to rush to refuse." Jiang Wuxie stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You, the Ming Dynasty, I hold between my fingers. The voices between the government and the public are insignificant, and they can't stir up any trouble."棹
He pointed upward and said: "That person's thoughts are unpredictable. Even I, as a son, am walking on thin ice. Fortunately, you have a natural heart, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to pass this level. From now on..."
He said no more.
Jiang Wang looked at the roof of the car and fell silent.
"Just now at the city gate...Wang Yiwu is still sharp." Jiang Wuxie suddenly asked again: "What do you think of your defeated general?"
The word "defeated" came out of Jiang Wuxie's mouth quite strangely.
Because he was once defeated by Wang Yiwu, and he lost once in a duel in the same realm.
But really speaking, who can defeat Wang Yiwu in the Tongtian Realm?棹
Jiang Wangdao: "The victory or defeat in the moment doesn't mean anything."
Boom, boom, boom.
Jiang Wuxie knocked on the table and said with a drunken smile: "I've heard enough of the superficial talk, I want to hear some true words."
Seeing that Jiang Wuxie took the initiative to help quell the dispute between the government and the public, Jiang Wang said: "There is no doubt that he has a strong heart and will not be defeated by anyone or anything. But I will never look back."
Jiang Wuxie laughed.
He knew that Jiang Wang, who spoke like this, had some kind of friendship with him beyond just business. Although not much.
Just laughing, Jiang Wuxie said, "Do you know how Gu treats him?"
Jiang Wang said: "Let's give it a try."
"Gu Jianjian." Jiang Wuxie said seriously: "In the future, among the outstanding talents of Qi State, if there is anyone who can catch up with you and the champion in terms of cultivation, it is only Wang Yiwu!"
"In the battle at Dongjiekou, you turned the number one person in the Tongtian Realm, who defeated all nine pawns in ancient and modern times, into a joke. Then you won the first place in the inner palace, became the pride of the Xingyue Plains, fought with General Chongxuan Zun in the outer building, and achieved success in the expedition to Xia God is coming... Under such circumstances, if Wang Yiwu works bravely and strives to catch up, it will actually be nothing, because we all know that he has a foundation of talent and teachers, and he lacks nothing.
"But after he was distanced by you, he was still able to remain calm and move forward steadily, striving for perfection in every situation. That really impressed me.
"Wang Yiwu's character is so arrogant, and how arrogant he was at the beginning! It is easy to break a thief in the mountain, but it is difficult to break a thief in the heart, and it is even more difficult to focus on the thief in the heart and turn the thief into a soldier. With this dormant time, no matter how hard it is, It’s hard to recreate the time when the clouds and the moon broke through.”
Of course Jiang Wang knew all this. He had collided head-on with Wang Yiwu and never underestimated him. But at this moment, he thought about it and just said: "His Highness seems to be talking about himself too."
Jiang Wuqi's divine step came and turned into autumn frost.棹
Jiang Wuyou opened his own Taoist martial arts and realized that the gods were coming.
The Prince of the East Palace, Jiang Wuhua, also achieved Divine Presence without any surprises, maintaining a level of cultivation that was neither above nor below.
Among the four palace masters competing for the dragon in the Da Qi Empire, only Jiang Wuxie, the Yangxin Palace Master who is "quite similar to the Martial Ancestor", is far from the shadow of the golden body and chalcedony.
He didn't seem in a hurry.
Isn't this a firm confidence in the future?
In response to Jiang Wang's probing, Jiang Wuxie just laughed and opened the car curtain with his own hands: "We're here!"
Jiang Wang got out of the carriage and looked up at the palace gate amidst the distant sound of wheels.棹
The majestic palace walls interpret the majesty of the Qi royal family, and the fluttering longitude and latitude flags seem to roar into the universe.
Even Jiang Wang today looks so small standing in front of the palaces of this great dynasty.
The building is twelve stories high, and the imperial city is as deep as the sea!
"Who is coming?" There was a majestic voice in the deep cave.
Jiang Wang stood on the square paved with Taiyi sky white jade and said loudly: "Jiang Wang, Marquis of Qi Wu'an, asks to see the emperor!"
The voice in the cave of the building slowed down for a while before ringing out: "Master Marquis, please wait a moment, I will go and report it right away."
Jiang Wang said "no problem" and stood in front of the palace gate.棹
The square was empty and there was only one lonely figure.
This wait lasted for two full hours.
When it was already dusk and the vast sky seemed to be falling, Han Ling, dressed in official uniform, walked out of the palace gate and walked up to Jiang Wang.
The huge palace gate tower is like the mouth of an all-devouring monster.
Both Jiang Wang and Han Ling were in danger before it.
In front of this shadow-covered palace with a great history and countless stories swallowed up, the more visible it is, the more dangerous it is. Whether it is the red uniform of the head of the internal officials, or the green shirt of Marquis Wu'an.
"Has Marquis Wu'an been drinking?" Han Ling asked.棹
"On the way here, I had a drink with the Ninth Prince." Jiang Wang replied.
Han Ling nodded and said, "Go back, the emperor doesn't want to see you."
This is the first time Jiang Wang has heard the words "The Emperor doesn't want to see you" since he entered Qi, and the first time he failed to meet the Emperor!
Even every time he returned home, the emperor would summon him immediately. He couldn't push it away even if he wanted to.
This sentence "I don't want to see you" is too light to say it, and too strong to say it.
But Jiang Wang just handed over his hand: "Thank you, General Manager Han, to report to the emperor on behalf of the emperor - I, Jiang Wang, am a third-grade golden melon warrior and receive a salary, but have never performed my duties. I would like to ask the emperor of Su Wei for your permission!"
Han Ling gave him a steady look, then turned around and walked into the deep palace gate tower. Only one sentence is left, "Wait a moment."
The scarlet clothes are like ghosts in the night.
On such a night, looking at his back, Jiang Wang thought of Zhu Sui.
The night watchman of the Da Qi Empire has only three night wandering gods left in the world. He has cut off his way forward and is just waiting for the end of his life. I wonder if you are still patrolling at night?
Keep vigil for a thousand years, how long will the night be?
After waiting for another half moment, Han Ling walked out of the palace gate again and said in a voice without any emotion: "Your Majesty said that there is no shortage of guards in the palace. Marquis Wu'an is used to being free. You don't have to report anything you want to do first."
He took half a step forward and whispered: "It's late at night, Lord Marquis should go back and rest, and don't disturb Your Majesty."
Jiang Wang took a step back and said politely: "I obey your order!"
Before Han Ling could understand what order he was following, he turned around on the spot, put his sword on his waist, and wore a green shirt as a green armor. In an instant, he looked majestic and stood there like a door pillar.
Han Ling walked around to him and asked, "What does Marquis Wu An mean?"
Jiang Wang didn't squint his eyes: "Da Qi Palace City is the gate of His Majesty's house. Your Majesty allows me to be independent, and I will stay here to guard you! Manager Han, please go back. I apologize that Jiang is guarding the gate for the emperor and cannot see you off."
Han Ling opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He returned to the palace in three steps.
