Chapter 26: Dark and Windy, Stealing the Day
Jiang Changsheng was not surprised by Jiang Ming's fight with the fake prince. Jiang Ming's attempt to win over an expert clearly showed that he was an ambitious person.
Although Jiang Changsheng received many gifts from Jiang Ming , he had no intention of taking action. Since he was assassinated, Jiang Ming never came to him again, perhaps because he had received a warning from Jiang Yuan.
Hua Jianxin listened to Chen Li's words and couldn't help but tease: "The princes are fighting among their factions, and your Chen family doesn't take sides?"
Chen Li said helplessly: "If you take sides, are you still a loyal minister? But the Chen family may indeed take sides."
Hua Jianxin asked curiously, "Who do you support?"
Chen Li trusted both of them. One was a chivalrous man who stood up for him, and the other was a hermit Taoist priest whom he had watched grow up. He did not hide anything and said, "Seventh Prince."
really!
Jiang Changsheng guessed this when he saw that the Seventh Prince possessed the aura of a true dragon.
He even suspected that Jiang Yuan and the Seventh Prince both learned the true dragon energy from the Mahayana Dragon Tower. The word "dragon" in the name of the Mahayana Dragon Tower was enough to make him imagine.
"The Seventh Prince is deeply favored by His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never moved to the East Palace. This is enough to show His Majesty's intentions. I really don't understand what His Majesty is thinking. Since ancient times, deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son is the beginning of rebellion."
Chen Li sighed, looking worried about the country and the people.
Jiang Changsheng did not comfort him, Hua Jianxin just responded casually.
Half an hour later, Chen Li said goodbye and left.
Hua Jianxin asked curiously, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you have a son? Are you waiting for someone to become the crown prince?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "Yes, I am waiting."
Hua Jianxin then asked: "Why not choose Jiang Yu, you can support him."
Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Although we are related by blood, our different environments do not allow us to be close enough. If I support him, there will be too much trouble. Fighting for the throne is just a small goal of mine. My real goal is to cultivate immortality."
Hua Jianxin seemed to understand, but not quite. In her opinion, immortality was nonsense.
Is there anyone who is immortal in this world?
"If you are afraid of trouble, won't it be troublesome when your son is born and wants to fight for the throne in the future?" Hua Jianxin asked with a worried tone.
"More than 20 years later, I will let him ascend the throne. No one can stop him, and there is no need to go through so much trouble."
Jiang Changsheng looked at the sapling next to him. After a year of growth, the Earth Spirit Tree was already thirty centimeters tall, but it had not yet emitted any spiritual energy.
The years are peaceful and quiet. During these long years, I am afraid that only the Earth Spirit Tree and the White Dragon can always accompany him.
As for Hua Jianxin, Meng Qiushuang and other disciples of the Taoist temple, after a hundred years, they will all return to dust and earth.
Jiang Changsheng has no idea of teaching others the way to cultivate immortality for the time being. He doesn't owe anything to the people around him, so there is no need for him to be open-hearted and give his all . In this life, he only lives for himself.
Moreover, once the method of cultivating immortals is taught, times will change and if it gets out one day, his advantage will be gone.
Once you become invincible and achieve immortality, you may consider leaving behind some inheritance.
Moreover, even if he taught the method of cultivating immortals to the person he cared about, the other party had no survival reward and was facing a world of martial arts. How could he become an immortal and live forever? When the time came for him to pass the tribulation, he would be rejected by the rules of heaven and earth and struck by lightning, with no chance of reincarnation, which would be even worse.
Jiang Changsheng's words moved Hua Jianxin. It was the first time she heard Jiang Changsheng say such domineering words.
yes.
He is already so powerful, almost invincible. How much stronger will he be if he waits another twenty years?
Hua Jianxin didn't dare to imagine it, but her heart was full of anticipation.
If her son became emperor, wouldn't that be the most glorious thing for a mother in the world?
This life is enough!
…
Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes, and five years have passed quickly.
The dispute between the crown prince and the second prince is known to the world. Outside the capital, the children of both factions are often assassinated, causing the situation in the capital to become increasingly chaotic. The emperor has not intervened, and he is now overwhelmed. The Dajing army has been advancing straight into Guhan and is exhausted. Guhan found the right opportunity to counterattack, and after several years of consecutive defeats, the front line is almost retreating back to the border of Dajing.
This year was the 28th year of Kaiyuan. Geniuses emerged in large numbers in the martial arts world, with the old taking over the new. The literary world was filled with talented people and excellent works.
"The power of the Seventh Prince is growing. His Majesty has even given him the White Guards. It seems like he is hindering the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, but I think it is actually helping the Seventh Prince to grow stronger. There are too many experts around the Seventh Prince. Every one of the Thirteen Assassins of Tiansu has the ability to assassinate top experts. I wonder where the Seventh Prince recruited them from."
Chen Li sighed and said that he did not have much resistance to the Seventh Prince, only because the Chen family had already joined the Seventh Prince.
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, "There are so many masters in the capital recently, is there going to be a big battle?"
Chen Li frowned and sighed, "That's right, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are both frantically trying to win over experts. When Your Majesty leads the army to fight, I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle, and one of the two princes will die."
Lead the army personally?
Haha, this is giving the Seventh Prince a chance. If he has the help of Mahayana Dragon Tower, how can the Crown Prince and the Second Prince compare with the Seventh Prince?
Jiang Changsheng sneered in his heart, Jiang Yuan's favoritism was really amazing. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, but he would tolerate his beloved son removing obstacles.
Chen Li asked curiously, "Where's Hua Jianxin? Why isn't he here?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "I went to stroll around the city."
Chen Li didn't think much about it. He also knew that the emperor was willing to promote Hua Jianxin. Hua Jianxin was just practicing martial arts here and was not hiding.
This time, Chen Li brought some precious medicinal herbs. As always, he would bring gifts every time he came. Jiang Changsheng never refused any gifts. After all, he would just save Chen Li's life in the future.
After Chen Li left, Hua Jianxin walked out of the house. At this moment, Hua Jianxin was already pregnant.
She came to Jiang Changsheng and said, "The due date is approaching. I'd better go down the mountain to give birth, so as to avoid the baby's crying and alarming the Taoist temple, causing the plan to go wrong."
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "Well, let's go out late at night."
Hua Jianxin is now a master of the Tongtian realm, and is definitely more than capable of protecting himself.
Hua Jianxin then asked, "Is the Seventh Prince's wife going to give birth soon?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "I went to see it last night. It is expected to be a few days later than our child. It is not a big problem."
He is an immortal cultivator with an excellent body. As long as he wants to have a baby, he can. The Seventh Prince is also a martial arts expert, so he is waiting for the Seventh Prince's wedding night before taking action.
The prince getting married is a big deal, so Jiang Changsheng doesn’t need to keep an eye on the Seventh Prince.
Unfortunately, the Seventh Prince already had an eldest son, who was an illegitimate child. His mother was taken into the palace by the Seventh Prince only after she became pregnant, causing Jiang Changsheng to miss the opportunity.
The princes would move out of the palace after getting married. Coincidentally, the seventh prince’s palace was very close to Longqi Mountain.
Hua Jianxin stroked her belly, her face full of tenderness and anticipation.
Jiang Changsheng looked at her silently. Although he was not attracted to Hua Jianxin, he was an immortal and spending a period of his life with Hua Jianxin was, at least for Hua Jianxin, a perfect life.
This was a matter of mutual consent. Since becoming pregnant, Hua Jianxin has become noticeably more cheerful and her life seems to have found meaning.
That night, Hua Jianxin quietly went down the mountain alone.
Jiang Changsheng stood at the gate of Longqi Temple, watching her silently.
He began to check his incense value.
[Current Incense Value: 381]
Three hundred and eighty-one people.
I wonder how much of the divine power this amount of incense value can help him offset in his next breakthrough.
Jiang Changsheng was getting closer and closer to the sixth level of the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong. For five years, he practiced hard and took the Spirit Enhancement Pill every month, so his power increased quite quickly.
The fifth level of Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong is already comparable to the realm of gods and men, so how much stronger would the sixth level be?
Jiang Changsheng was not sure, but he was looking forward to it. He had not yet met a god-level person. In the current capital, Tongtian was still the sky.
He silently watched Hua Jianxin enter an inn before turning around.
Hua Jianxin is a low-key person and a master, so there will naturally be no danger. When the day of delivery comes, he will protect her secretly and there will be no risk.
…
In the Imperial Garden.
Jiang Yuan and the Seventh Prince were drinking tea in the pavilion. The Seventh Prince was no longer a teenager, and looked like the young Jiang Yuan, beginning to show his domineering aura.
"Yu'er, are there any experts in the Dragon Tower who can rival Zong Tianwu?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.
The Seventh Prince Jiang Yu replied, "Yes, a Grandmaster has already arrived and will be able to reach the capital in two months at the latest."
Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Yu asked, "Father, you recruited Zong Tianwu, but he doesn't listen to you. Why do you keep him here?"
Jiang Yuan said: "As a warrior, you have your own principles. Yu'er got there first and got his approval. You can expel Zong Tianwu in the future. Although he is arrogant, he does have a chivalrous heart and can protect your fourth brother for the rest of his life."
Jiang Yu nodded.
Jiang Yuan put down his teacup and said meaningfully: "Yu'er, I have paved the way for you. Except for the crown prince and the second prince, you must keep the other brothers alive, otherwise how can our Jiang family gain a foothold in history?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. I will never harm my brothers and sisters."
"By the way, when you have time, go to Longqi Temple and make friends with Taoist Changsheng. Isn't your princess about to give birth to a child? Let him worship Taoist Changsheng as his teacher in the future. Taoist Changsheng is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune. Such a master can help my little grandson learn a lot."
Jiang Yuan changed the subject and said.
Jiang Yu said with emotion: "Master Changsheng is indeed extraordinary, but I have offended him before. When your grandson is born, you may take him there in person. After Master Changsheng agrees, I will visit him again to repair our relationship."
Jiang Yuan stroked his beard, smiled and nodded slightly.
He felt that his arrangement was perfect. Except for the fake son who had to be eliminated, he could preserve all his children and consolidate the future imperial power of the Jiang family.
…
Ten days later, Hua Jianxin successfully gave birth to a child in a small courtyard in the capital under the secret protection of Jiang Changsheng. After a few months of pregnancy, Jiang Changsheng saw clearly that it was a son, which made him not need to wait any longer. He let the mother and son stay in the courtyard for the time being.
Another five days passed, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
In the Seventh Prince's palace, the princess gave birth to a child. The Seventh Prince is not here tonight, but he has sent two Tongtian Realm masters to guard the palace.
Jiang Changsheng held his infant son in one hand, stepped on the Taihang Sword, stood above the clouds, and overlooked the courtyard below.
The baby, who was only half a month old, was not crying but sleeping with his two little fists clenched. There were two fine lines on his forehead, which were the Taoist patterns that Jiang Changsheng had cultivated when he broke through the fifth level of the Taoist Natural Power. If you didn't stand them side by side for comparison, it would be hard to associate them together. The two fine lines on the baby's forehead looked more like a birthmark, or like a tightly closed third eye.
"They were able to send two masters, they must be from the Mahayana Dragon Tower. No wonder they were able to control the succession of imperial power. The Mahayana Dragon Tower is indeed powerful. Fortunately, I did not act rashly."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, he naturally did not take the two Tongtians seriously.
His phantom pupil is already very powerful, so it is not difficult for him to tamper with the memories of the two Tongtians.
Jiang Changsheng's senses are extremely powerful. His spiritual awareness can penetrate the eaves and spy on the situation inside the house. As soon as the child is born, he will take action.
My beloved father, and the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
The throne has been given to me, so it is up to me to decide and my son to inherit it!
