Chapter 35 Five Grandmasters, Dragon Tower Strength
The last time he saw the Seventh Prince Jiang Yu, he was still a teenager and brought Meng Qiuhe to cause trouble. Although they did not make enemies, Jiang Changsheng would not have a good impression of him. After all, Jiang Ming had given many gifts for the same behavior afterwards.
Jiang Yu now has begun to show the domineering aura of an emperor. The emperor is recuperating from his injuries all day long, and he is in charge of almost all government affairs. The Yang family has also surrendered, and the Hong family has been executed and all nine clans have been implicated following Hong Lie's rebellion.
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Yu brought the little King Wei into the courtyard. He let go, and the little King Wei bowed to Jiang Changsheng and then went to play with Ping An.
Jiang Changsheng invited Jiang Yu to sit down at the stone table in the yard. Behind Jiang Yu followed a man dressed in purple, holding a sword in his hand. His eyes were fixed on Xu Tianji who was pushing a mill not far away.
Hua Jianxin was waiting on the eaves in the distance. As a White Guard, she didn't need to follow Jiang Yu. She only needed to protect the young King of Wei in secret.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It has been a while since we last met. Thank you for teaching Zi Yu in the past few years. I am very satisfied with his improvement in martial arts. You are worthy of being the legend of the martial arts world today. Your reputation is well-deserved."
Zi Yu is the name of the Little King of Wei, which was given by Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Changsheng naturally responded modestly to Jiang Yu's courtesy. Jiang Yu began to talk about the affairs of the martial arts world. In his early years, he had also wandered around the martial arts world and was very yearning for it.
"There are five great masters in the Dajing martial arts world. Now with the Taoist priest, there are six of them. Grandmaster is not a realm, but the top group of people in the martial arts world. Ordinary warriors regard the spiritual consciousness realm as the top masters, but they don't know that there are higher realms such as the Tongtian realm and the Shenxin realm. Grandmasters are like you, they don't care about worldly affairs. They will only take action when others cause trouble for them. However, compared with the five great masters, you are too young. Your future attainments will definitely be higher than theirs."
Jiang Yu sighed. After getting his father's true energy, his skills increased greatly, but he still couldn't see through Jiang Changsheng.
He once asked the White Guards to investigate Longqi Temple, but found no other masters coming. In other words, Taoist Changsheng was really as talented as the rumors said, and he had achieved his enlightenment through his own practice of Taoism. As the crown prince, Jiang Yu would naturally not suppress such a remarkable person, but would only win him over.
As he was talking, Jiang Yu began to talk about Gu Khan. It turned out that Gu Khan was able to turn the tide because of the emergence of three extremely powerful masters, all of whom were invincible. Most of their roles were to take the heads of General Da Jing amidst thousands of troops.
Jiang Changsheng frowned and asked, "Why didn't Grandmaster Dajing take action?"
Jiang Yu said helplessly: "The martial arts world has its own rules. Besides, they are already old. They were not born in the Jing Dynasty, but in the Chu Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Jing Dynasty, the five great masters have been secluded and have not been concerned with worldly affairs. My father once sent people to invite them, but was turned away. The masters are very powerful. Even if we send troops to encircle and suppress them, we cannot bring them to justice, so we cannot offend them."
The Jing Dynasty is facing a very embarrassing situation, that is, most of the masters still consider themselves as people of the Chu Dynasty. The Demon Sect used to be a troublemaker, so they suffered the most suppression.
When talking about the Chu Dynasty, Jiang Yu had more to say. There are still cities of the Chu Dynasty in the world today, located in the western border, between Dajing and another dynasty. He praised the customs and etiquette of the Chu Dynasty and was full of praise.
Jiang Yu's attitude made Jiang Changsheng feel uneasy.
What does this guy mean?
As the crown prince, shouldn't you hate the Chu Dynasty?
Jiang Changsheng felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
Jiang Yu suddenly smiled and asked, "Master, do you think Chu Chao has a better appearance, or Jing Chao is better?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "I have never met Chu Chao, so I can't judge."
Jiang Yu smiled and said , "Yes, in fact, some things should be passed down. Well, it's time for me to go, Taoist priest, let's talk next time."
He stood up and left with the man in purple.
While Xu Tianji was not in the courtyard, Wang Chen came over and whispered, "Master, the seventh prince's mother, Concubine Li, is the last princess of the Chu Dynasty. It is understandable that he has a good impression of the Chu Dynasty."
Jiang Changsheng said calmly: "I see, but even so, he should not praise the previous dynasty like this when he is about to become the Emperor of Dajing."
Wang Chen frowned, thinking it made sense.
Jiang Changsheng said: "He mentioned that the five great masters are from the Chu Dynasty and do not want to help the Jing Dynasty. How do you think he should solve the problem of the three great masters of Guhan?"
Wang Chen's face changed drastically, his chest heaving with anger, and he whispered, "He wouldn't dare... Father... The Emperor is still here!"
Jiang Changsheng said: "But the emperor won't live long."
Wang Chen remained silent, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.
…
In the thirty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, the fourth prince Jiang Yu led 100,000 elite troops to raid the ancient Khan border. With the assistance of the former martial arts supreme master Zong Tianwu, he marched straight in and killed over 300,000 enemies, achieving the biggest victory in the Jinggu battle in several years.
The emperor was overjoyed and appointed Jiang Yu as King of Qin, making him the second royal family member to be appointed king in Dajing.
Jiang Yuan was very afraid of the royal relatives being crowned kings, but the fact that he was able to allow Jiang Yu to be crowned king shows the importance of this achievement.
The whole country was jubilant, as if they saw the hope of victory.
This year, the young King of Wei, Jiang Ziyu, and Ping'an were seven years old. Jiang Ziyu had already shown a strong aptitude for martial arts and could even fight Arakawa, who was one year older than him, on equal terms, causing Xu Tianji to call them two little demons.
At noon, Jiang Ziyu went up the mountain accompanied by Hua Jianxin, with an angry expression on his face.
"Master, my eldest brother was sent to a holy land by my father to practice martial arts. Before he left, he boasted to me that the Mahayana Dragon Tower he went to was very powerful. If you were in there, you would be nothing."
Jiang Ziyu said indignantly: "Master, you must be more powerful than Mahayana Dragon Tower, right?"
Jiang Changsheng rubbed his head and said with a smile: "How would I know? I have never seen the Mahayana Dragon Tower. You should just practice martial arts well. The height of martial arts depends on your own efforts."
Jiang Ziyu nodded heavily, then turned and left.
Xu Tianji walked over and said, "Master, I have heard of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. It is said that two of the five great masters of the Dajing martial arts world have inherited the Mahayana Dragon Tower. The Mahayana Dragon Tower has stood on this land for thousands of years and has experienced many dynasties. Its heritage is unfathomable, but they appear and disappear mysteriously, and there are very few disciples walking around the world."
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Then can you say something useful?"
Ever since he became a martial arts legend, true energy often surged through the foot of Longqi Temple, including that of the Difficult Buddha and the Thirteen Thorns of Tiansu. It was obvious that Mahayana Longlou was very curious about his martial arts, but the two sides had no hatred, so they did not offend Longqi Temple.
Xu Tianji's face froze, and he suddenly thought of something, clapping his hands and saying, "I have been to the Western Regions before, and I learned the Immortal God Technique from the Western Regions. The Mahayana Dragon Tower is also famous in the Western Regions, and many tribes even worship the Mahayana Dragon Tower as an immortal god."
Western Regions?
Jiang Changsheng seemed to be thinking about something.
The fact that Jiang Yu sent his eldest son to study at Mahayana Dragon Tower almost means that he has already decided that his eldest son will be the future crown prince, just like Jiang Yuan, who only recommended the seventh prince to go. However, the eldest son lost his patience and showed off to Jiang Ziyu, perhaps because Jiang Ziyu's halo was too great.
The reincarnation of the golden-winged Peng bird...
Born to be king...
The legendary disciple of Wulin...
However, even so, Jiang Ziyu did not receive Jiang Yu's greatest favor. The concept of the eldest son was deeply rooted. Even if a concubine's son seized the throne, the next generation would still favor the eldest son. Jiang Yuan was just influenced by the Mahayana Dragon Tower and had no choice but to do so.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xu Tianji stopped disturbing him and went to discuss with Ping An's three sons.
It’s impossible to lose when fighting with a child.
…
Late at night, a figure sneaked into Jiang Changsheng's house.
It was Hua Jianxin.
Hua Jianxin placed his sword on the table, then came to the bed, sat next to Jiang Changsheng, and said, "I heard some strange news in the palace recently."
Jiang Changsheng didn't open his eyes and said, "Tell me."
Hua Jian thought to himself: "Jiang Yu wants to restore Chu."
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and asked, "Really?"
Hua Jianxin said softly, "I can't be sure for now, but there are more and more Chu people in the palace. Even the Concubine Li who was banished to the cold palace has moved to the palace. In fact, the Chen family's joining Jiang Yu can be seen. The Chen family used to be a clan of the Chu Dynasty."
Jiang Changsheng muttered to himself: "What does he want..."
Although he had guessed it long ago, Jiang Changsheng still found it ridiculous after it was confirmed.
How dare he!
Hua Jianxin said helplessly: "I have seen Jiang Yu, although he is a martial arts master, he does not have the heroic spirit of an emperor, and is more like a puppet. He feels that he is powerless to change the world, so he wants to restore Chu and invites the five great masters to fight against Gu Khan. The power of a powerful warrior is really terrifying. Jiang Yu once led the Thirteen Thorns of Tianxu to the battlefield, but after returning, the Thirteen Thorns of Tianxu were all seriously injured and rested for more than half a year."
Jiang Changsheng was speechless.
What a shame.
Why didn’t Jiang Yu seek help from Mahayana Dragon Tower? Could this also be what Mahayana Dragon Tower meant?
Since you want to restore Chu, why should you support Jiang Yuan in establishing a country?
He suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuan relied on the Yang family to establish his country, but after the establishment of the country, Dacheng Longlou wanted to control Jingchao, so he took action. Could it be that because Jiang Yuan was disobedient, Dacheng Longlou disliked Jingchao?
"What are you going to do?" Hua Jianxin asked softly.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Of course, let our son be the emperor. No matter who comes to obstruct, it will be useless. My previous actions were not just against the emperor's actions, but against the power behind the imperial power. Since that power wants to interfere with Dajing again, then just wait."
Hua Jianxin frowned and said, "The Mahayana Dragon Tower is really strong. There are no less than 20 Tongtian Realm masters sent to Jiang Yu. I could never imagine that there are so many masters in the martial arts world."
The higher you stand, the more terrifying what you see.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the bright moon outside the window and said, "There is still time."
The reason why he played a trick was that he was unsure of the strength of Mahayana Dragon Tower. He also wanted Jiang Ziyu to have the status of a prince in advance and win over the power of his own faction.
He is very close to the sixth level of Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong. Once he achieves the sixth level, he should be able to defeat Mahayana Dragon Tower.
When he just reached the fifth level, he was already comparable to the God-man realm. Now his cultivation level is far beyond what it was when he just broke through. He is confident that he can deal with more than ten God-man realms. After he breaks through, it should not be difficult to deal with a hundred God-man realms.
Hua Jianxin stopped reminding and sat quietly beside Jiang Changsheng.
Although they are husband and wife in reality, they are not in name only. She both loves and respects Jiang Changsheng. She is already very satisfied with her current life and dares not dream of more.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly asked: "Recently, you have been practicing the Heavenly Scripture of Heaven and Earth. Do you have any doubts?"
Hua Jianxin was delighted and quickly said, "Yes."
"Tell me about it."
The moonlight is hazy and the breeze is cool.
Jiang Changsheng's spiritual power covered the entire room, preventing any sound from leaking out. If someone approached, he would be able to detect it immediately, so he didn't worry about revealing his relationship with Hua Jianxin.
