On the official road in the mountains and forests, dust was flying. A group of soldiers were galloping on horseback, holding military flags engraved with honorary characters. The leader was a silver-armored general with a handsome face and a high-spirited spear.
It was the fourth prince Jiang Yu, nineteen-year-old Jiang Yu!
Looking at the imperial city in the distance, Jiang Yu smiled. He smiled unruly and whispered to himself: "Brother, you will not be able to sit firmly on this throne!"
A thousand black-armored light cavalry, advancing like dragons, are unstoppable!
Ahead, there is a stone pavilion on the roadside. There is a person drinking in the pavilion. It is the leader of Tianwu Supervisor, Zong Tianwu, the former supreme martial arts master.
He put down the wine bowl, stood up, walked out of the stone pavilion, and stopped on the official road.
Jiang Yu came on horseback. When he saw someone blocking the road, his expression didn't change, and he actually wanted to ride away.
The two sides were getting closer and closer, but Zong Tianwu still had no intention of giving in and stared at Jiang Yu calmly.
The front hooves of the fierce horse were raised, intending to trample Zong Tianwu. Zong Tianwu's eyes flashed, and his true energy exploded, like a wind wave rolling up the ground, dust was flying, the fierce horse was overturned, Jiang Yu jumped, landed on the ground, and lifted The gun was pointed at Zong Tianwu.
"At the feet of the Emperor, do you dare to block the way of His Highness?"
Jiang Yu said coldly, shocked in his heart, when could there be such an expert in the capital?
This skill is so terrifying. He has seen many martial arts masters on the battlefield, but none of them can match it.
A thousand Qingqi quickly surrounded Zong Tianwu.
Zong Tianwu said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty wants to see the strength of His Highness's Black Wolf Cavalry."
Jiang Yu frowned and asked, "What do you think? It's just you?"
Zong Tianwu raised his right hand, as if asking for advice, and said: "Tianwu Supervisor, Zong Tianwu."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu's pupils shrank and the hand holding the spear trembled slightly.
Although he was on the battlefield, he had also heard about Tianwujian's prestige over the years.
powerful!
cruel!
Zong Tianwu continued: "Your Highness, take action. The Black Wolf Cavalry roaming the battlefield will not be afraid of Mr. Zong!"
When Jiang Yu heard this, his eyes instantly turned red.
court death!
…
At noon, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.
In the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng, Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yu sat around the stone table. Jiang Yu, whose face was bruised, recounted the battle three days ago, in which a thousand black wolf cavalry were defeated by one man.
"It's outrageous. How can martial arts be so high? My brothers are all fierce men who can fight dozens or even dozens of them!"
"And Zong Tianwu, this guy, is completely merciless. Father, are you not going to hold me accountable?"
Jiang Yu became more and more excited as he talked, while Jiang Yuan burst into laughter.
Such a scene really looks like a family of three.
Jiang Changsheng sighed in his heart.
Jiang Yuan brought this gathering together probably to comfort his own heart. Jiang Changsheng knew the true relationship, but it couldn't be said that Jiang Yu was the one who didn't know everything.
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Changsheng and said, "Brother Changsheng, can you beat Zong Tianwu? Help me teach him a lesson. I will satisfy you whatever you want."
Jiang Changsheng said helplessly: "Are you serious?"
Jiang Yu chuckled and said: "Of course it was a joke. It was too late for me to butter him up. Although he was very rude, I did win over him. Moreover, he is the supreme martial arts master. It is very honorable to serve our Jiang family."
Since ancient times, when dynasties changed, the rivers and lakes remained the same. They would be affected by the court, but they would not be annexed.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Zong Tianwu is indeed arrogant, but I need him to win over the martial arts masters. Dajing has been a country for twenty-one years. The surrounding dynasties have also surrendered one after another, but the dynasties further away cannot be shaken. They have been fighting for decades. , causing the martial arts in this land to decline a lot, and it is not as prosperous as the martial arts of those dynasties far away. Although martial arts cannot be defeated by one person, a cloud of masters can defeat thousands of armies and shake up the dynasty. "
His tone was sad, and he thought of the mysterious man who broke into the palace that day. His skills were really terrifying, and he even felt that Zong Tianwu was no match for him.
Jiang Yuan changed his tone and said, "Changsheng, it seems there are others in your courtyard?"
Jiang Changsheng pretended to hesitate, and then said: "Jianxin, come out."
Hearing this name, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, while Jiang Yu was curious.
At this time, Hua Jianxin walked out of the house.
Jiang Yu widened his eyes and said, "Brother Changsheng, you are a Taoist priest, and you are actually hiding a woman?"
Jiang Changsheng rolled his eyes at him.
Jiang Yuan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Longqi Temple is not a traditional Taoist temple. Taoist Master Qingxu is the founder of the sect. It is positioned as a martial arts sect. There is no strict prohibition on disciples not being allowed to have biological children. It is just that it is best to marry a wife after coming down the mountain. If Changsheng wants to marry a wife , I can issue an edict to allow it."
Jiang Changsheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this woman has a special status. I have a request."
Jiang Yuan joked: "You tell me."
Hua Jianxin came over and saluted Jiang Yuan respectfully.
Jiang Changsheng said: "She was originally a White Guard and was seriously injured by the Demon Lord. I saved her. She has been practicing martial arts with me for these years. It is not convenient for her to go back because... I hope His Majesty can arrange for her to rejoin the White Guard in the future." .”
Jiang Yuan asked curiously: "Why later?"
Hua Jianxin said: "I want to practice martial arts with the Taoist Master first."
Jiang Yuan nodded and said: "I understand that you were the only one who took action in those nights. You had merit, and I should have rewarded you. When you want to return to the White Guards, I will arrange for you to become a White Guard Thousand Households."
Hua Jianxin was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked Jiang Yuan.
There are 50,000 people in the White Guards, headed by the Chief of Guards, followed by the Chiefs of the Thousand Households. The Thousand Households represent the salary level, and among the White Guards, they also represent the power to mobilize a thousand people. This is a promotion, and the Foil Sword How can my heart not be happy?
Jiang Changsheng then asked her to step aside.
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Jiang Yuan took Jiang Yu away. Before leaving, he asked for some elixirs. Jiang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
It turns out that the father didn't wake up, but changed people to make the elixir?
Although Jiang Yu was confused, he did not dare to ask, because Jiang Yuan was most taboo about others talking about his pursuit of immortality. For this reason, Jiang Yuan chopped off the heads of many people.
After they left, Hua Jianxin walked out of the house again.
She came to Jiang Changsheng and asked doubtfully: "Taoist Priest, why do you want me to return to the White Guard?"
Jiang Changsheng had refined a piece of talisman paper, which contained his spiritual power, which could help Hua Jianxin hide her aura, but this time, Jiang Changsheng asked her not to hide it.
Jiang Changsheng picked up the tea cup and said, "Don't you always want to do things for me? How about joining the white-clothed guards and being my eyes from now on?"
Hua Jianxin was stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Changsheng actually coveted the imperial power. The white-clothed guards were directly under the control of the imperial power.
She asked carefully: "Who do you want to target? Or are you planning something?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "Plan for the throne."
Hua Jianxin's beauty turned pale and she whispered: "Taoist Master, you can't achieve the throne by killing the emperor. You also need the support of civil and military officials and the support of aristocratic families. You have to think clearly."
No matter how powerful Long Qiguan is, Jiang Changsheng is just a Taoist priest.
Why does a Taoist priest steal the country?
These Taoist priests on the mountain?
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "I don't want to be an emperor, I want to practice Taoism, but I can also let my son be. Do you know my true identity?"
Hua Jianxin shook her head, even more confused.
"Then you think His Majesty only came because of my elixir? If so, why did you recommend the fourth prince to contact me?" Jiang Changsheng said with a half-smile but not a smile. After spending so many years together, Hua Jianxin has not done anything evil, and he can be trusted. He decided to reveal the truth and win support for his future son.
Hua Jianxin frowned and thought hard. She suddenly thought of something and her face changed drastically: "The fourth prince and the prince are both what the Queen said. The Queen had gone crazy before and said that the prince was not her son. Could it be..."
Jiang Changsheng said calmly: "Yes, I am the true prince. Do you think I am qualified to covet the throne?"
Hua Jianxin was shocked and his beautiful eyes widened.
Jiang Changsheng told her childhood experiences and what she knew about the situation, which made Hua Jian feel confused. She had known that the royal family was complicated, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated. It was too outrageous.
From Jiang Changsheng's point of view, she also felt indignant that she was the prince and fell into the mortal world.
Hua Jianxin frowned and said: "I have heard that the Mahayana Dragon Tower is a thousand-year martial arts holy land in this continent. It is hard to find traces. For today's martial arts, it is elusive. I did not expect it to be real." His existence can still influence the imperial power..."
Jiang Changsheng said quietly: "So I want to cultivate an emperor who is not at the mercy of the forces behind the scenes. I want a wise and sage king who cares about the people. Not only will he give me a sigh of relief, but he will also make the country more stable and create a peaceful and prosperous age. , Kenshin, are you willing to help me?"
Hua Jianxin recalled the night she was blocked in front of the imperial gate and Eunuch Li's sinister face. The fire in her heart was ignited, and she suddenly felt a strong sense of mission to die for her confidant.
"Taoist Master, you saved me, I am willing to help you!"
"Very good, thank you, Kenshin. I will only tell you this matter. No one in the Taoist temple knows about it, not even the emperor knows the truth that I know."
"Ken Shin is determined to be a Taoist priest and will go through fire and water!"
"I won't let you die."
"Well...but, Taoist Priest, where is your son?"
Hua Jianxin's cheeks turned red after listening to Jiang Changsheng's words, and she quickly changed the subject and asked.
Jiang Changsheng showed a troubled expression and said: "Yes, I don't know where my son is yet, so you have been practicing martial arts well these years and wait until I give birth to a son."
When Hua Jianxin heard this, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask: "You already have a wife and concubines?"
"Of course I don't have one, I'm still looking for it."
Hua Jianxin gritted her teeth and said, "Can I do that?"
Jiang Changsheng looked at her in surprise, making her pretty face blush even more.
In fact, Hua Jianxin has long been in love with Jiang Changsheng. Such a powerful and handsome young man even saved her life. How could she not be moved by him?
It's just that she owed Jiang Changsheng a life, and she didn't dare to think anything wrong. Now that Jiang Changsheng wanted a son, she suddenly felt that the opportunity had come.
Jiang Changsheng was silent and carefully looked at Hua Jianxin's pretty face.
If you have good looks, you will definitely not be ugly if you have a son.
Hua Jianxin lowered his head, his ears turned red, and he was extremely shy.
…
In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, a cool day struck.
At the beginning of the year, Jiang Changsheng's deeds in overcoming tribulations and the story of Bai Long's understanding of human nature began to spread from the capital to the world. From this year onwards, masters from the martial arts came to challenge Long Qiguan. At first, Meng Qiu Shuang and other disciples could still resist. , at the back, a top master appeared, Jiang Changsheng had to push out the Huajianxin to block it for him.
Although Hua Jianxin has not yet reached the realm of reaching the sky, but he has learned the Yuqing Absolute Meridian Needle, he is no match for ordinary top masters.
Until this day.
Wanli came running over and said anxiously: "Senior Brother Changsheng, Senior Brother Meng is here with a group of masters, claiming to challenge you. If you don't take action, Bailong will be killed."
