"Master Hou, please calm down. Sister Ning just lost her mind for a moment. Master Hou is loyal to the Holy Lord and has a pure life experience. How can he be related to the remnants of the Qin Kingdom!"
Outside Yinwu Pavilion, Marquis Zhenwu was already murderous, but at the entrance of the alley, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Li looked up and saw four well-built slaves approaching in a hurry, carrying a sedan.
Aunt Yan opened the sedan curtain, and the eldest lady, who was wearing a treasure hairpin and a peony brocade dress with gold moire patterns, walked down. She bowed and saluted: "Master Hou, it's not that I want to plead for Sister Ning. She has evil thoughts in her heart. In order to vent his anger, he sent people to assassinate Jiang Li. This kind of evil behavior is unforgivable.
"But if the Marquis kills Sister Ning just because of her angry words, he will be angry and misunderstood, as if Jiang Li is really a remnant of the Seven Kingdoms!"
He Loushi said, and looked at Jiang Li again, smiling very kindly: "Li'er, the entire Hou Mansion knows that your mother was born in the wild tribe of Beimang, and she has shown the way to the Marquis. The Marquis is benevolent and righteous. I couldn't see your mother suffering in the extreme northern wilderness, so she was brought back to Shengjing. It has nothing to do with the remnants of the Qin Kingdom.
"As for Ning, she has bad conduct, is jealous and hateful, and talks nonsense. She just wants to sow a relationship between you and the Marquis. I was also deceived by her, so I withdrew the soldiers near Lanhong Pavilion. You You must remember that you are only the son of Marquis Zhenwu!"
"Thank you Madam for reminding me!"
Jiang Li nodded, and there was no trace of waves on his calm face.
He knew in his heart that although Ning was responsible for tonight's assassination, Ning was just a stupid weapon controlled by the eldest lady.
"What Madam said is true, but Ning's death sentence can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Someone, come, take Ning down and imprison her in Hanku Pavilion. No one can visit her without my permission!" Jiang Shirong shouted coldly.
"Master Hou, I won't go, I won't go!"
Ning's face turned pale, and she reached out to grab Jiang Shirong's robe, begging for mercy, but she was directly lifted up by the soldiers who came forward, dragging her feet on the ground, and soon disappeared at the end of the alley.
"Father, I beg you, please spare mother!"
Jiang Xuanyao lay on the ground like a dead body, watching helplessly as Ning was dragged away by the soldiers, but there was nothing he could do. He tried his best to make a sound, but it was so weak that only he could hear it.
The hateful gaze, like a dagger filled with poison, pierced Jiang Li hard, and his soul trembled with the overwhelming hatred.
"Father, madam, if there is nothing else, Jiang Li will resign!"
Jiang Li crushed Li Jia's throat, threw the body and the broken half of the gun shaft on the ground at the same time, saluted Jiang Shirong and He Loushi with fists, and strode away.
"Master Hou, Jiang Li has grown up. He has only been let go for a few days, but he is already a little out of control. If he is given more time, I don't know how he will grow up!"
Helou looked at Jiang Li's disappearing figure and said sadly: "This boy is extremely intelligent. Ning's words may make him suspicious. If he investigates deliberately, he might discover the truth of some things back then. Hou Are you really not worried?
"He is a young owl with broken wings. If those people know that Princess Tianzhu still has blood in the world, they will definitely come to find him. Maybe they can renew his wings, transform into a fierce bird, and overthrow the entire prosperous world. !”
"We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have inherited the great fortune of heaven and came into being at the right time. It is the direction of heaven and is destined to be arbitrary for eternity. The most holy and wise, the most talented and powerful, have the potential to spin the world and swallow up the heaven and river. I want to imitate the five emperors of the Middle Ages, unify the nine states, and rebuild the empire. How can we allow cats and dogs from the Three Dynasties and Seven Kingdoms to cause trouble!"
Jiang Shirong snorted coldly: "If those remnants of the previous dynasty give up their illusions, the future Great Zhou Dynasty will be inclusive of the world and open to all rivers, and there will still be room for them. But if they dare to hinder the emperor's imperial hegemony, they will surely be wiped out and destroyed!" "
"Of course I know how loyal you are to the imperial court, but if Jiang Li is bewitched by those people, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation and your position in the eyes of the Holy Emperor!" He Loushi sighed.
"Those remnants of the Qin Kingdom?" Jiang Shirong showed a meaningful look: "I'm worried that they won't come to Jiang Li!"
"Master Hou..."
Helou was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "Did the Marquis let Jiang Li leave the Marquis' mansion on purpose?"
"On the Nine Provinces Continent, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, only have three of them. However, it has been more than eighty years since the founding of the dynasty. However, we have only obtained two of the important weapons of the Nine Provinces forged by the medieval holy emperors. When the Zhou and Wei allied forces entered Qin, the Qin Prince unified the three. Wan Qin's soldiers fled far away with the Liangzhou cauldron, and have since disappeared without a trace."
Jiang Shirong said in a deep voice: "Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is rich and powerful, its people are strong, its generals are brave, and it has the foundation to sweep the world and unify the nine states. The heavy weapons of the nine states carry the destiny of a state. As long as the tripod is recognized, it can lead the destiny of a state. If the Holy Lord can control the important weapons of the Nine Provinces, he can protect the Great Zhou Kingdom Zuo for thousands of years!"
"The Marquis has far-reaching wisdom, which I cannot match!"
He Loushi nodded, no wonder the Marquis has not allowed anyone to hurt Jiang Li's life all these years, but he was planning for the Liangzhou tripod.
But this way, it would be hard to take action against Jiang Li.
"If that scoundrel really colludes with the remnants of the Qin Kingdom, he is destined to die. He will bear the blame on himself. But if he is as loyal to the court as the Marquis, it will be an opportunity for him to turn around and change his life!"
He Loushi squeezed the Buddhist beads in his hand tightly, his mind was turning secretly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
…
"Jiang Li, since Da Zhou wants me, the Huaxiao Dao Sect, to convince the Da Luo family and the county governor, why can't even the six captured fellow disciples be released directly!"
In the early morning, four horses galloped out from the west gate of Shengjing City and ran on the wide official road.
Su Youzhen held the reins and looked at the vast world in front of her, but her beautiful eyebrows were twisted together.
"Miss Su, you killed hundreds of soldiers on the official road outside Shengjing City. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, you were punished as Lingchi. The Holy Emperor ordered that you be temporarily exempted from the death penalty and serve for meritorious service. This is an extrajudicial mercy. If you are released directly, let alone the majesty of the imperial court. I can’t explain the loss to the millions of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
Jiang Li said sternly: "These six Daluo Wufu are all in the Xiantian realm. They have been incorporated into the 'relegated soldiers' and went into battle to kill the enemy. It won't take long for them to accumulate enough heads to regain their freedom."
"What you said is nice. We will join the banished soldiers and go to Beimang with the army. There will be fierce battles everywhere, and there is no guarantee that the innate warriors will come back alive!"
Su Youzhen turned her head and snorted, was silent for a while, looked at the graceful young man riding in front of her, and finally couldn't help asking: "That night I clearly saw the assassin hit you with a palm, why were you not injured at all?" Don’t you feel any pain?”
"Miss Su, if you had a way to save your life, would you easily tell others?"
Jiang Li turned around and smiled, without explaining too much.
In this world, martial arts are capable of lifting mountains and regenerating severed limbs. Taoist magic is unpredictable and omnipotent. There are also amazing armors, psychic weapons, and magical weapons. It is not uncommon for the children of wealthy families to have one or two means of saving their lives.
"How stingy!"
Su Youzhen curled her lips and ignored Jiang Li.
The four riders rode along the official road for dozens of miles. After turning into a fork in the road, they continued running for another ten or twenty miles before a manor hidden in the mountains and forests appeared in front of everyone.
The manor is built near a mountain and a lake. It is surrounded by gray walls. From a distance, it looks like a small city. From a distance, you can see more than a hundred large and small houses hidden in it.
"Master Jiang Li, the princess has been waiting for a long time!"
Luo Ying was waiting outside the door with six or seven Qilin guards with blazing eyes and bulging temples. When he saw Jiang Li and his party arriving, he hurriedly came up to greet them.
