The content of the diary came to an abrupt end in Dayan's ninety-third year... leaving only the pen marks three-thirds of the way into the paper on the last page, which seemed to contain endless reluctance.
"It seems that either there was an accident, or it turned into a pile of withered bones!"
Jiang Ming said to himself, it has been nearly two hundred years since the founding of Dayan. No matter how strong the martial arts master's blood is, it cannot withstand the power of time... Now I am afraid that he has long since returned to his ashes.
I don’t know how many people this diary passed through before it finally fell into the hands of Zhu Shichang and his gang...
"Where are the immortals? Are there any immortals in the world? Is there really no destiny for immortality in this huge Yan country?"
Jiang Ming stared at the slightly crazy handwriting at the end and muttered to himself.
The Grandmaster has reached the end of his martial arts journey, but he still can't find a way forward. This is really disappointing.
"But... not necessarily!"
Jiang Ming calmed down his mind and looked at it with some thought: "This man went to various mysterious places such as the Snowfield, Jiulong Lake... Yunmeng Mountain and Lake. There may be something that he has not discovered yet!"
"Manpower will eventually be limited. Even a grandmaster can only live for more than a hundred years..."
"The interval between each appearance of the Medicine King in Yunmeng Mountain is more than a hundred years. Maybe there are similar opportunities in other places. Maybe the interval is longer, so long that the master can wait his whole life..."
Jiang Ming remembered all the secret places recorded in his diary one by one. What he lacked most was time. When he became a master, he would search for them one by one. At worst, he would live there for hundreds of thousands of years and dig three feet into the ground... …
"In addition, the martial arts master named Zhou Jingyu said that in the process of searching for immortality, he also collected some mysterious items and scriptures..."
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head, not having much hope.
This grandmaster has been dead for hundreds of years, and since he has spent his whole life searching for immortals and has never established any power, those things may have ended up somewhere long ago.
"The primary goal now... is still to practice martial arts. Only by reaching the top of martial arts and becoming a martial arts master can you be qualified to explore these things..."
…
Three days later, the news of the defeat of the Cangshan Army finally reached Dayun Mansion. All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and everything was in chaos. Some forces that had once had a friendly relationship with the Cangshan Army were now restless.
"The Shi family doesn't know how they feel, either?"
In the small courtyard, Jiang Ming finished his boxing practice and drank the tea brewed by Zhou Wenxiu in a leisurely manner.
A few days ago, the news that the Shi family's children killed the leader of the Cangshan Army in the street and that the Shi family wanted to break with the Cangshan Army has now spread throughout the city...
In addition, some evildoers spread rumors, saying that the Shi family would only wait for the deserters from the Cangshan Army to pass through Dayun Mansion, and then they would intercept and kill them... to atone for their sins and show their loyalty to the imperial army.
As soon as this rumor came out, it spread quickly, and it became more and more outrageous...
"I can only say that you are unjust and have few helpers!"
Jiang Ming just wanted to cause some trouble for the Shi family, but he didn't expect it to turn into this. It seems that the Shi family is really unpopular. I don't know how many people are looking forward to the downfall of the Shi family...
"However, it's not time to take action yet." Jiang Ming took a sip of tea and was not in a hurry.
The Shi family may fall, but they will not fall into the hands of the Cangshan Army!
The Cangshan Army is not a fool. They completely believe the rumors. Now they are too busy taking care of themselves and are busy running for their lives before it is too late... Where can they find the time to fight with a local snake like the Shi family?
Not to mention that the Shi family has another level of identity, that is, they are dogs raised by the Liang family in Beijing.
The Cangshan Army fell, and it was only the soldiers who suffered...
Those strategizing officials might be waiting for one day to be recruited, and suddenly they might be colleagues with the Liang family. How could they be so blind to kill the Liang family's dog?
"But when locusts pass through the border, the Shi family's skin will inevitably peel off..."
Jiang Ming muttered to himself and decided to continue to wait and see. The Liang family's dog would only die in the Liang family's own hands...
However, he couldn't be idle. On the same day, Jiang Ming went to Wang's Pharmacy and bought a lot of medicinal materials, and continued to drink ten bowls of Qingshen soup and three bowls of Zhuangxue soup every day...
"Try to increase the frequency of supersensory triggering..."
…
Another half month passed, and large and small groups of deserters from the Cangshan Army finally appeared in Dayun Mansion, continuing to flow north in great chaos.
These deserters are no longer as friendly as they were when they went south. They throw away their armor one by one, grab whatever they can along the way, and kill anyone they don't like...
Prefectures, counties and towns...everywhere was in chaos. Countless people were displaced and fled in all directions. It was even more miserable than when the Cangshan Army went south to attack the city.
Ping'an Town was a little better, with warriors from all major forces intimidating them. A few deserters passed by and wanted to steal money, but they were choked before they even jumped a few times... But even so, many villagers were robbed, and those gentlemen He only cares about himself, not the untouchables across the wall...
However, in the midst of this chaos, a group of mysterious green forest heroes quietly appeared in various chaotic counties and towns.
They claimed to be subordinates of Feiyun Castle and did not preach any slogans. When they saw the deserters who were making trouble, they rushed to kill them and distributed their money to the displaced people...
Killing people, distributing money, turning around, and rushing to the next place where deserters are infested... These green forest heroes came and went like the wind, and their vigorous and resolute actions left a deep impression on everyone.
Gradually, the reputation of Feiyun Castle spread rapidly in the surrounding counties and towns of Dayun Mansion. Many people began to look forward to Feiyun Castle appearing in their own towns...
"Good means..." When Jiang Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but think of that gentle young man, Wei Yan.
Although there was no information, Jiang Ming had an intuition that this move was made by Wei Yan.
"It has been more than ten years of sharpening the sword, and now it shows its sharpness... Feiyun Castle is waiting for this opportunity. It wants to build its prestige and achieve its own hegemony by stepping on the bones of the Cangshan Army!"
One general's achievements have led to thousands of bones being withered. I don't know if the bones of the Cangshan Army... can be used to pile up the new ship of Feiyun Castle...
Two days later, news about the Shi family also spread to the town.
A general of the Cangshan Army returned with his troops. After hearing the rumors related to the Shi family, he immediately became furious and led his troops to surround the Shi family. He personally fought with the head of the Shi family and destroyed more than a dozen courtyards before stopping.
It was rumored that the head of the Shi family was seriously injured and had to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Cangshan Army, as well as countless jewelry, weapons, food and grass...
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Ming's eyes were long and long. The Shi family could become successful so quickly, but they would not be knocked down so easily. There might be some unknown trump card.
Now there are people who want to take action, so let them be the leaders...
Now the Cangshan Army is withdrawing all the way to Beining Mansion in the north, preparing to defend the northern border.
In a few days, the imperial army will reach Dayun Mansion. At that time... it will be time to fish in troubled waters...
