Chapter 23: Mahayana Dragon Tower, Wanting a Son
In the courtyard, a figure descended from the sky. It was Jiang Yuan wearing a dragon robe. Jiang Yuan had disheveled hair and obviously had not had time to put on a crown. He stared at Jiang Changsheng's back, while Jiang Changsheng quietly put the scabbard into his sleeve.
"Let her go. If she comes for me, I'm right here!"
Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice, his true energy surged and condensed into a dragon shadow around his body. This scene was captured by Jiang Changsheng's spiritual sense, and he was greatly surprised.
This special effect is so cool!
The most important thing is that Jiang Yuan’s true energy instantly increased dozens of times, and was no less powerful than the woman under his command.
Tongtian!
This emperor is so well hidden, no wonder he can make the supreme master of martial arts work for him.
Jiang Changsheng turned his back to Jiang Yuan and asked in a hoarse voice: "Emperor, what is the identity of the fake prince?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's face turned gloomy and his eyes flickered. In the dark night, his eyes looked so dangerous, eerie and terrifying.
"How do you know this, and who are you?"
Jiang Yuan said as he stepped forward.
The cold palace woman gritted her teeth and said, "Don't come over here, you are no match for him!"
Jiang Yuan stopped and frowned. He stared at Jiang Changsheng, trying to see through him. Jiang Changsheng did not bring the Qilin whisk, and the Taihang sword was hidden in his wide sleeves. In the dim environment, he could not see through Jiang Changsheng's identity at all.
He thought of many people in his mind. He had too many enemies in his life, and there were also masters who were stronger than him.
Jiang Changsheng still had his back to him and said, "As an emperor, you actually took the lead in exchanging the prince's bargaining chips. Isn't it ridiculous if it gets out? It would be fine if the fake prince is his biological blood, but if not..."
These words were full of sarcasm, but Jiang Yuan did not get angry.
Jiang Yuan asked, "What do you want? Since you want to ask, it means you are not here for me. Do you know my eldest son?"
Jiang Changsheng joked, "Of course I recognize your eldest son. What would he think if he knew that you left him in a Taoist temple to be an orphan Taoist priest?"
Jiang Yuan was silent.
"What Taoist temple?" asked the woman in the cold palace.
Jiang Changsheng asked meaningfully: "How many Taoist temples are there in the capital?"
As soon as these words came out, the cold palace woman glared at Jiang Yuan and said coldly: "You are so good, Emperor Jiang, you actually played tricks on me for so many years?"
Jiang Yuan's face looked extremely ugly, while Jiang Changsheng was a little surprised. It was obvious that there was something else behind his words.
Jiang Changsheng wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Yuan suddenly made a move, striking out with his right palm. A dragon shadow appeared around his body, and he rushed towards Jiang Changsheng with a fierce palm wind. The palace gate exploded directly and turned into countless wood chips.
"Humph! How dare you!"
Jiang Changsheng snorted coldly, and lightly clapped his left hand backwards. His spiritual power spread out, easily dispelling the dragon shadow, and his true energy caused all the tables and chairs in the palace to fall apart.
What a domineering skill!
After the palm strike, it became several times stronger. Can this father be strengthened several times?
It’s really amazing!
Jiang Changsheng sighed in his heart, and Jiang Yuan was even more shocked.
"How is it possible... to dissolve my true dragon energy so easily... Who on earth is he?"
Jiang Yuan hadn't felt such oppression for a long time. The last time was before he became emperor.
There are such great people in the world!
Jiang Yuan instantly thought of many possibilities, and even guessed that this person was the one who taught Changsheng martial arts.
Could it be that he came here to support Changsheng?
wrong!
Why did he accept Changsheng as his disciple, why did he support him, and how did he know the truth?
Jiang Yuan was filled with fear and felt that the other party must be an enemy.
He never thought that the other party would be Jiang Changsheng, because Jiang Changsheng was taken away when he was just born, it was impossible for him to know his own life experience, let alone control all this.
There must be an enemy plotting this!
"Emperor, you still won't tell me?"
Jiang Changsheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman in the cold palace by the neck and lifted her up. He said sinisterly, "It's a bit ridiculous that a master of Tongtian Realm was banished to the cold palace by you."
Jiang Yuan's expression changed from gloomy to bright. He knew he was no match for the other party. He took a deep breath and said, "I say, the fake prince is not my biological son. He is just a chess piece, a chess piece that is destined to be discarded. If you come to uphold justice for the real prince, you can rest assured that he will die sooner or later."
"As for my reputation, this matter will not be spread out. I will let the Yang family kill him personally and find another excuse. The death of the prince will only be a regret in history."
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Why do you want to replace the real prince with a chess piece?"
Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "Because he cannot become the crown prince, because the throne has already been determined, but the Yang family cannot see through it. I sent him out to protect him. If he lives in the palace, he will definitely die."
Just then, he heard a lot of footsteps coming. They were the imperial guards of the palace, who were specifically guarding behind the palace. Those with great martial arts skills had already arrived first.
Things can't get out of hand.
Otherwise it will disturb your practice later.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Who would harm him? Tell me the name. Since you want to protect him, then you and I have the same idea."
Jiang Yuan's eyes were dim as he said, "Mahayana Dragon Tower."
Mahayana Dragon Tower?
Jiang Changsheng had never heard of this name. Now that he had the answer, he should leave. At worst, he could come back later.
He loosened his hand, let go of the woman in the cold palace, leaped straight through the eaves of the cold palace, and disappeared into the night without a trace.
Jiang Yuan immediately ran over and supported the woman in the cold palace.
The cold palace girl pushed him away, her eyes cold, and said, "Jiang Yuan, you have bullied me too much. I allowed you to give her the position of Queen and let her give birth to Jiang Yu, but you lied to me! Tomorrow I will kill that little beast!"
Jiang Yuan stood up, looked down at her with an extremely cold look in his eyes, and said, "Can you beat that guy just now?"
The woman in the cold palace remained silent.
Jiang Yuan said coldly, "I will fulfill my promise to you, but even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He has become a mortal and doesn't know his own life experience. Why bother to bother with him? If you want to mess around, the throne will not be so secure. I have found that my sons have the talent of true dragons. You should think carefully. The world has changed. You are no longer a princess of the Chu Dynasty. Don't be willful anymore!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan turned and left, followed by a large number of imperial guards.
Jiang Yuan's voice came from outside the palace: "What happened tonight must not be spread outside. Anyone who dares to tell others will be beheaded!"
The cold palace lady in the palace collapsed on the ground. She laughed, and her laugh was sad: "It's ridiculous, I am really ridiculous..."
Jiang Yuan showed his mighty power under the moonlight. She was like a ghost in the darkness, staring at him infatuatedly, as if they were separated from each other in two worlds.
…
After returning to Longqi Temple, Jiang Changsheng did not disturb Hua Jianxin and quietly entered the house.
He changed back into his Taoist robe, having gained a lot tonight.
The first is to make sure that the all-powerful master is not his opponent.
The second is to determine the real reason why he was replaced, Mahayana Dragon Tower.
Judging from Taoist Qingxu's words, he and Jiang Yuan must have colluded with each other. Although Jiang Changsheng was replaced, no one in Longqi Temple dared to kill him openly, which shows that Jiang Yuan still wanted to protect him.
Of course, although Jiang Yuan wanted to protect the Yang family, he also wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Yang family. The heart of an emperor is unpredictable.
Perhaps Mahayana Dragon Tower was also a target that Jiang Yuan wanted to suppress, so he told Jiang Changsheng, hoping to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Jiang Changsheng was not angry. After all, his goal was to cultivate and become an immortal. If the Mahayana Dragon Tower wanted to kill him, it would send people to kill him sooner or later, and he could get a survival reward in return.
This time the attack did not trigger the survival reward, which means that the fight was not a disaster and one had to be forced to accept it.
"The throne that was decided? Humph, since it's not your will, Jiang Yuan, then I'm going to grab it."
Jiang Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth. The family affection in this life was very thin. After all, he had the memories of his previous life. Although he had to be steady and cultivate immortality in this life, he didn't want to live a life of compromise.
What I fear is that there are stronger people in this world, not everyone!
The reason he didn't use the Phantom Divine Eye this time was to give Jiang Yuan a warning. He had already planned when to use the Phantom Divine Eye.
Jiang Changsheng was in a good mood, mainly because he was sure that no one in the capital could threaten him.
On the second day, Hua Jianxin discovered that Jiang Changsheng seemed to be in a very good mood, and he actually taught her martial arts personally.
Jiang Changsheng is a cultivator after all, and his cultivation techniques are more advanced than her martial arts techniques. A few pointers are enough to benefit her greatly. The internal skills have something in common, but the cultivation systems are different .
What happened in the palace last night did not spread, and Longqi Temple was still bustling with pilgrims coming one after another.
Meng Qiushuang came to see Jiang Changsheng several times, but some of the dignitaries were of too high status for her to refuse. Jiang Changsheng thought about it and asked Bai Long to meet them.
The white dragon can also get a spirit-enhancing pill every month. After all, it is the pill that it experimented with. Jiang Changsheng has not treated it badly. Its intelligence is also steadily improving. Now it can understand some simple human languages. It will occasionally tease Hua Jianxin. Seeing Hua Jianxin's nervous look, it often shakes its snake head happily.
Meng Qiu Shuang looked at Bai Long and thought it was ridiculous, but when Bai Long raised his snake body and nodded at her, her worldview was almost shattered.
"it……"
Meng Qiu Shuang knew that Bai Long understood human nature, but nodding was too outrageous.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and nodded. Meng Qiu Shuang could only suppress her shock and take Bai Long away.
After Meng Qiushuang left, Hua Jianxin walked out of the house and said in amazement: "Master, your snake will become a spirit sooner or later."
The white dragon is cute in Jiang Changsheng's eyes, but in her eyes it is a terrifying creature, the more refined it is, the scarier it is.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "That's great. You can still chat with us in the future."
Hua Jianxin shuddered.
Hua Jianxin changed the subject and asked, "Master, you practice all day long, have a pure heart and few desires, and never see anyone. Your martial arts are obviously unfathomable, and you are still very young. What are you pursuing?"
She had heard the legendary story of the Taoist Changsheng who killed the Ghost-Eyed Evil King at the age of fourteen. Later, she heard Meng Qiushuang call Jiang Changsheng "junior brother", which meant that Jiang Changsheng was not very old. It was really hard to understand why he was so young and had no desires.
Even the illusory gods should have their own pursuits.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "As for the pursuit, it is naturally to comprehend the Tao and live longer."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Hua Jianxin couldn't help but ask boldly: "That's your long-term goal, what are your immediate goals?"
Jiang Changsheng looked towards the blue sky in the distance and said leisurely, "What's your recent goal? I actually have one. I want a son."
Hua Jianxin was stunned, thinking she had heard it wrong. She stared at Jiang Changsheng's handsome profile, her ears began to turn red, and her heartbeat quickened.
Jiang Changsheng's attention was attracted by the outside of the city. Longqi Temple was located on the edge of the capital, with the urban area on one side and the city wall on the other. Outside was the rolling wilderness.
A troop of soldiers was approaching from outside the city.
