Mu Xia pursed her lips tightly.
The cold face trembled slightly.
The sword she pulled out was caught by Jiang Wang with his bare hands just like the time in Qianlong Palace.
Although Jiang Wang's normal power is not something Mu Xia can compete with, the power of the Kingdom of God that emerged last night has not dissipated yet, so it is really easy to control Mu Xia.
The girl in late summer is very stubborn.
Jiang Wang could tell.
And it was indeed his fault first.
Seeing Mu Xia's pitiful look at this moment, Jiang Wang said, "I'll let go. Don't hit me with your sword again."
Mu Xia stared at him without saying a word.
Jiang Wang slowly let go.
But before she could move away from the sword, Mu Xia quickly sheathed her sword, then raised it and struck again.
Jiang Wang could only pick up the sword with his bare hands again, and said angrily: "You don't have martial ethics!"
Mu Xia said coldly: "I didn't swing the sword."
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, yes, you raised your sword and struck down.
Then he said even more angrily: "Am I talking about how you draw your sword?"
Mu Xia just stared at him coldly.
During the stalemate, Zhang Qinian's figure appeared.
Jiang Wang immediately said: "Look after your girl!"
Zhang Qinian looked calm and said, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Wang said, "I'm here to visit Zhang Shoufu."
Zhang Qinian sneered and said, "Marquis Xunyang, you were so arrogant in the Qianlong Palace and injured Xia'er, and then you turned around and visited my grandfather again. You are very thick-skinned."
Jiang Wang said: "Just so so."
Zhang Qinian frowned and said, "My grandfather won't see you, so why don't you go back to where you came from?" Xiu Shuzhu
Jiang Wang asked: "Is it your intention or Zhang Shoufu's?"
Zhang Qinian said: "You don't care who it is, you are not welcome here anyway."
Jiang Wang glanced at Mu Xia, who was trying to drag the sword away, and said, "If that's what you want, I won't listen."
Zhang Qinian said in a deep voice: "How dare you break into the chief minister's residence without permission!"
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "I dare to destroy the Qianlong Palace, what's wrong with that?"
Zhang Qinian looked at Jiang Wang silently and suddenly called: "Xia'er."
Hearing this, Mu Xia withdrew her sword again.
Jiang Wang didn't stop him and let go.
But Mu Xia didn't draw her sword again this time and retreated behind Zhang Qinian.
"Wait."
After leaving two words behind, Zhang Qinian took Mu Xia and turned back home.
Jiang Wangjing stood outside the house.
Not long after, Mu Xia reappeared.
Although he didn't speak, Jiang Wang understood the meaning and crossed the threshold with a smile.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Mu Xia ignored him and just led the way.
The chief minister's home is not very big, and there are no luxurious furnishings. It is just like an ordinary mansion.
Stepping into the archway, you will see a yard that is not too big or too small. There is even a vegetable patch next to the wall, with a figure squatting in front of the vegetable patch.
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Xia beside him.
Mu Xia held her sword and said nothing.
The squatting figure in front of the vegetable field slowly stood up and stretched his waist. This person looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, and every move he made showed that he seemed to have the posture he should have at that age. He turned his head He looked at Jiang Wang and said with a smile: "Jiang Qi's son, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Wang was surprised and said, "Zhang Shoufu?"
Mu Xia has turned around and left.
Zhang Shoufu waved to Jiang Wang, sat down on a wicker chair next to the vegetable patch, poured himself a cup of tea, blew on it and said, "Just do whatever you want."
Jiang Wang sat silently across from Zhang Shouxu, glanced at the vegetable patch, and said, "Zhang Shouxu and I have different ideas."
Zhang Shoufu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm just an ordinary person with the status of Shoufu."
Jiang Wang said: "Since he is the chief assistant, it is difficult for him to be an ordinary person."
Zhang Shoufu smiled and shook his head and said, "Explain your intention."
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant, must have known everything that happened at the Prince's birthday party last night. I have nothing to explain. I just want to ask, what do you think, Mr. Chief Assistant?"
Zhang Shoufu asked with a smile: "See with your eyes?"
Jiang Wang was silent.
Zhang Shoufu continued: "You are not here to apologize to Qinian and Muxia, but since you want to visit, you must have heard something about me. Your behavior in Qianlong Palace is actually very deliberate. I don't care what your ultimate goal is, Your Majesty. There is no blame, and I don’t care.”
Jiang Wang asked: "How much does Mr. Chief Assistant know about my father Jiang Qi?"
Zhang Shoufu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Jiang Qi has poor cultivation aptitude, so he is good-looking and flamboyant. Among the descendants of the royal families of the previous countries, he is considered the most famous and has the best life. At the same time, he followed Lu Jianluan. He is the most hostile person to the descendants of the royal families of various countries."
Jiang Wang looked puzzled.
Zhang Shoufu said: "It's very simple. After the Battle of Mozhang, all the countries were recuperating, and Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty had the ambition to fully accept the power of all the countries. The Sui State was a latecomer, and none of the previous countries had a deeper foundation than the Sui State, but Correspondingly, facing Mo Zhang, we also suffered the most heavy losses.".Ь.
"At that time, the power of the Sui Kingdom was stronger, and Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty was a tyrant, who directly caused the kingdoms to fall apart. It can be said that the Sui Dynasty was the sworn enemy of the descendants of the previous kingdoms."
"But Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty was very clever, and all the countries became his pawns. Many of them died by conquering each other, which was equivalent to a bloodless battle."
"Therefore, the descendants of these dynasties did not have much hatred towards the Sui Dynasty, because in their hearts, they had other enemies."
"Lü Jianluan was the prince of the Qin Kingdom. He took the lead and was directly destroyed by the Sui army. Or the descendants of the royal families of various countries who knew the truth responded one after another. They undoubtedly wanted to gather everyone from the countries to fight against the Sui Dynasty, but did not succeed."
"It's because Taizong of the Sui Dynasty took the word hypocrisy to the extreme. While he was annihilating other countries, he also helped these people, making some of the remaining countries grateful. After all, it is extremely difficult to annex the world's dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty also needs more power. These people became the sword in Sui's hand."
"For various reasons, even if something is discovered and exposed by Lu Jianluan, there are still many people who don't believe it. They either remain neutral, or they don't have much remaining power. Even if they believe it, they don't dare to take risks."
"After all, at that time, some people were already helpless and preferred to linger."
"The remaining power of the Qi Kingdom chose the Sui Dynasty. Lu Jianluan established Xiqin at the former site of Qianqiao. Sui Qin had some forces from other countries under his command, and the two sides started a tug-of-war."
"There was a national teacher in the Sui Dynasty, but he never showed up."
"There are sword masters and many powerful monks in Xitan. In addition, after the death of Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty, the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty was also very capable and completed the grand event of returning most of the power of the countries to the Sui Dynasty. However, once he made a mistake, Xitan grew stronger and stronger. It has become a situation where two tigers are vying for supremacy.”
"It is natural that the descendants of the royal families of the kingdoms in Xitan would hate the royal families of the kingdoms who surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. In their view, these people are stupid and hateful. The Qi Kingdom, which helped the Sui Dynasty the most, is the first to bear the brunt."
Jiang Wang was speechless, not knowing what to say.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Shoufu, "As the chief minister of the Sui Dynasty, calling Emperor Taizong hypocritical, and this kind of thing should be forbidden to talk about in the Sui Dynasty. The chief minister said it eloquently, especially in front of me, Qi In front of the descendants of the imperial family, do you want me to be more hostile to the Sui Dynasty?"
Zhang Shoufu said with a smile: "The old Marquis is not stupid, it's just that Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty has better methods."
"Of course Jiang Qi is not stupid. Because he was born in the Sui Dynasty, how could he know the truth?"
"Without the best opportunity, the descendants of the royal families of other countries have been completely tied to the Sui side. Those who don't know don't know, and those who know have to pretend not to know."
"Because their strength is needed to deal with other dynasties, they will naturally not take action against them at first. But without Sui Taizong, the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty became more confused in his later years. Moreover, with the eyes of Xi Tan, he did not dare to attack the countries in the Sui territory casually. The descendants are using their brains."
"Therefore, the remaining power of the countries is still in their own hands. One or two families are nothing, but together they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. Of course, at this time, they can no longer compete with
Compared to that time. "
"From the moment the Centennial Contract was signed, the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty had the idea of seizing the military power of the descendants of the royal families of various countries, but he could not blatantly do so. Once these people resisted, Xi Tan would definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack. Something like the Centennial Contract could be used when needed. It can be torn apart at any time."
"Even if His Majesty ascends the throne, it is still unclear, but he obviously has more methods than the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty. There are few descendants of the royal families of various countries in the Sui Dynasty."
"As time goes by, everything will change. The power under these people will naturally disappear if they do not submit. However, most of them have no masters and have chosen to serve the Sui Dynasty. In fact, they do not want to die. After all, many of them are young descendants who were born directly in the Sui Dynasty. Great Sui Dynasty."
Zhang Shoufu looked at Jiang Wang and said, "The Black Flame Army is still loyal to you. It's Jiang Qi who manages it well."
Jiang Wang calmly looked back at him, "Master Chief Assistant seems to have said too much."
Zhang Shoufu smiled and said, "It depends on what you think."
Jiang Wang was silent.
Zhang Shoufu's attitude surprised him extremely.
Having said so much, I didn't see that Zhang Shoufu had any respect for the emperors of the Sui Dynasty. But because of this, Jiang Wang felt even more doubtful.
He didn't even ask any questions. Zhang Shouxu just kept talking about everything he could and couldn't say.
Are you really sure that Cao Chonglin will never hear these words?
still......
Looking at the smiling Zhang Shoufu in front of him, Jiang Wang suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Shoufu has profound cultivation, and I would like to ask for advice." Xiu Shuzhu
Zhang Shoufu spread his hands and said: "I am an old man, but I haven't moved much in many years. How can I be my opponent as a young man like you?"
Jiang Wang didn't say anything, energy was already bursting out from his fingertips.
Zhang Shoufu's eyes narrowed.
The strong wind surged in front of itself.
But the range is only one foot in radius.
It was as if there were several invisible walls surrounding the two of them.
Jiang Wang suddenly raised the knife, unsheathed the Changye knife, and the table in the middle shattered with a bang. Zhang Shoufang had no expression on his face, and with a flick of his finger, the Changye knife deviated from its position. Jiang Wang tightened his grip on the handle and slashed downwards.
Zhang Shoufu raised his hand to intercept, and the ground within a ten-foot radius collapsed instantly.
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Outside the hospital, the figures of Zhang Qinian and Mu Xia came one after another.
Jiang Wang did not hesitate to strike again.
The invisible wall showed signs of collapse.
Due to the tremors of space, cracks appeared out of thin air.
Zhang Qinian wanted to get closer, but was blown away by the breath coming out of the crack.
Jiang Wang's face was solemn, and he raised his sword for the third time to bless his divinity.
