Chapter 68: Family Happiness Turns the Imperial City into a Living Hell
In August, the hot days arrive.
Jiang Changsheng was enjoying the cool under a tree when Li Min came to visit him and told him about the death of Eunuch Li. Jiang Changsheng remained silent.
Li Min said: "Master, he said that following you for the rest of his life has brought him back to his youth, as if he was serving Emperor Wuzu, full of fighting spirit and high spirits. He has no regrets in his life."
Li Min was not sad about the death of Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li lived to be over 90 years old, which was definitely considered a long life in Dajing, and he did not experience much pain before his death.
Jiang Changsheng sighed: "Life has its own destiny, so what, so what."
Li Min followed up, "A few months ago, a martial arts competition took place at Jusong Lake, and a new martial arts supreme was born. This person..."
He was a little hesitant.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Why are you hesitating?"
"This person is your senior brother, Meng Qiuhe."
Li Min took a deep breath and Jiang Changsheng was stunned.
Meng Qiuhe is still alive and has even reached the position of the supreme master in the martial arts world?
Since Meng Qiuhe followed the Seventh Prince to challenge and failed decades ago, he has never appeared again and disappeared from the face of the earth. Jiang Changsheng even thought he was dead. Forty-one years have passed.
The only regret Meng Qiushuang had before her death was that she had never met Meng Qiuhe, after all, they were siblings.
Li Min said: "I don't know where this man learned his unparalleled martial arts skills. During the martial arts competition at Song Lake, he defeated all the heroes. People in the martial arts world believe that he is qualified to challenge Emperor Yang Zhao."
Jiang Changsheng said: "Pay more attention to his movements in the future."
Li Min nodded, said a few more things, and then left.
Jiang Changsheng looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
The white dragon lay down along the tree trunk, and its huge body made the Earth Spirit Tree tremble. Fortunately, the Earth Spirit Tree was also very huge now, like a century-old tree.
It stretched out its tongue and licked Jiang Changsheng's face.
Jiang Changsheng silently used the incense to deduce: "I want to know how strong Meng Qiuhe is now?"
[Need to consume 500 incense points, do you want to continue?]
no.
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
500 incense points is not a low value. What kind of adventure did Meng Qiuhe encounter that made him make such rapid progress?
Could it be that the remnants of Mahayana Dragon Tower were helping him?
Jiang Changsheng thought of many possibilities, both good and bad. Anyway, he was prepared for the worst, that is, Meng Qiuhe might become his enemy.
But he was not in a panic. If Meng Qiuhe was looking for death, it would be a survival reward for him. If he was not looking for death, Meng Qiuhe would not live for many years.
Those who were once brothers in the same school may now become enemies.
Looking back to his childhood, Meng Qiuhe had saved him.
Life is so unpredictable.
Jiang Changsheng sighed about life for a while, then continued his cultivation.
He was getting closer and closer to the seventh level of Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong. He felt that his strength had surpassed the Qian Kun realm. Compared with when he had just reached the sixth level, there was a world of difference.
Unfortunately, he couldn't fully display his strength. First, he didn't have a suitable opponent. Second, if he used his strength for no reason, it would easily affect innocent people. He also didn't want to show his full strength. One always has to keep some cards in mind.
…
Half a month later, nine-year-old Jiang Xiu came to visit Jiang Changsheng with a box of snacks.
It has to be said that Jiang Xiu really looks like Jiang Changsheng when he was a child. When Qing Ku saw this, he was also in a daze. He had some guesses in his mind, but some of them he could not say out loud and could only keep in his stomach.
"Master, I had a dream last night."
Jiang Xiu sat obediently on Jiang Changsheng's lap. The two of them looked more like brothers than grandfather and grandson, because Jiang Changsheng looked so young.
Jiang Changsheng asked with a smile: "What dream?"
Jiang Xiu tilted his head and said, "I dreamed that demons and monsters attacked the capital, and even jumped in front of me and wanted to eat me. Fortunately, a god came down to earth and saved me in time. The god also took me flying..."
He began to describe his dream excitedly, and Jiang Changsheng listened with a smile.
Sudden.
Jiang Xiu pointed at Bai Qi and said, "Grandmaster, that demon couldn't be Bai Qi, could it? It doesn't like me normally, maybe it even wants to eat me!"
Bai Qi, who was lying on the ground, rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Jiang Changsheng laughed and said, "If it dares to bully you, Master will cook it into soup, how about that?"
"Okay, okay, I haven't had wolf soup yet."
Jiang Xiu clapped his hands and laughed, making Bai Qi tremble.
After the grandfather and grandson played for a while, Jiang Changsheng let go of Jiang Xiu, and Jiang Xiu went to find the thief god to learn Qinggong.
Last year, Jiang Xiu met the God of Thieves by chance, and the two actually got along well. Upon learning that Jiang Xiu was the current crown prince, the God of Thieves became even more attentive to him. He suddenly felt that he might become the next Xu Tianji.
With Jiang Changsheng around, the God of Thieves did not dare to teach recklessly or bully Jiang Xiu. When the two were together, the God of Thieves took great care of Jiang Xiu and even served as his horse to amuse him.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Xiu's figure jumping away, and suddenly felt that such a day was pretty good.
Is this the joy of family life?
…
In the 14th year of Qianwu, Ping An broke through the Northern Zhou front line and single-handedly fought into the enemy camp. However, the generals in the camp had already withdrawn, and the army took the opportunity to attack the Liangzhou camp, and the situation on the battlefield changed.
On the other hand, most of the Jin Dynasty was annexed by the Jing Dynasty, which was getting closer and closer to the royal city. The Jin Dynasty seemed to have given up resistance and was defeated. The mysterious martial arts force also disappeared.
The emperor ordered the dispatch of 200,000 troops to support Liangzhou. Most of these 200,000 troops were martial artists from the martial arts world. Their execution ability might not be as good as that of ordinary soldiers, but their individual strength was very strong.
at night.
In the imperial study, Jiang Ziyu put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
As the country grew, more and more memorials were submitted every day. In addition to war, there were also those about people's livelihood, law enforcement, underworld affairs, etc. Not only were the memorials on the table, but even the ground in front of the table were piled up like small hills.
Jiang Ziyu stood up, walked to the windowsill, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and was lost in thought, emptying his mind.
This was his habit, but when he was too tired, he would look at the night sky to relax.
A gust of cold wind blew. After all, he had reached the Tongtian realm now, so he was naturally not afraid of the cold, but he frowned.
Where does the cold wind come from in such a hot summer?
Jiang Ziyu suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
"Could it be that the mysterious master who slaughtered the royal families of all dynasties is about to arrive?"
Jiang Ziyu thought silently that ever since he issued the order to attack the Jin Dynasty, he had been waiting for the other party to arrive, but the other party never came. Even so, he did not let down his guard.
at the same time.
At Longqi Temple, Jiang Changsheng, who was meditating under a tree, stood up with anticipation in his eyes.
Bai Qi sensed something, opened his eyes, and kept sniffing. He said, "Master, there is an evil breath. Something dirty is trying to enter the city."
Jiang Changsheng said: "You stay at home and guard the courtyard, I will be back soon."
He leaped forward and disappeared into the night.
Bai Qi was secretly shocked. What kind of body movement was this?
It stays by Jiang Changsheng's side every day and knows very well how much Jiang Changsheng loves practicing. This guy's strength is definitely improving.
"When can I learn his martial arts...Should I take the initiative..."
Bai Qi lay on his paws, thinking silently.
Along the palace wall, a figure as fast as an afterimage entered the palace swiftly and silently. Neither the imperial guards nor the white-clad guards patrolling on the roof noticed it.
The figure moved quickly through the palace. He seemed to know where the emperor was and went straight to the imperial study.
Soon, he arrived at the courtyard of the imperial study.
Clang.
Jiang Ziyu suddenly pushed the door open and came out, holding a sword in his hand. The birthmark between his eyebrows emitted a faint light.
"Who, come out!"
Jiang Ziyu said in a deep voice that when the enemy approached, he felt a sharp pain in his brow, so he immediately took his sword and left the house.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly attacked at an extremely fast speed. Jiang Ziyu had no time to react. In his pupils, he only saw a man in black holding a dagger with the tip of the blade pointing directly at his throat.
bite!
The dagger was suddenly bounced away, and the black-clothed man's movements changed, but he took the opportunity to kick Jiang Ziyu. A figure appeared in front of Jiang Ziyu out of thin air, raised his foot and kicked the black-clothed man in the chest, kicking him away.
boom!
The man in black smashed through the walls, raising dust hundreds of feet away and alarming everyone in the palace.
Jiang Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the figure appearing in front of him. He was secretly annoyed that he had slacked off in his martial arts practice. The speed of the man in black actually made this Tongtian realm martial artist dumbfounded. What a huge difference.
The dust had not yet settled when the man in black struggled to stand up from the ruins. He covered his chest with his hands, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
He was a god, but his sternum was shattered by a kick and his internal energy was almost destroyed.
How is that possible!
They are both gods, so why is the other party so strong?
His pupils shrank as he saw a figure standing on the eaves of the palace on the left. Under the moonlight, the feather robe of Gou Chen Tian Gong emitted a silver light, making Jiang Changsheng look like an immortal who had descended to earth, shocking his soul.
"Who are you?"
The man in black gritted his teeth and asked, "How could Dajing have such a strong man? Did you come here specially because you saw that the Mahayana Dragon Tower was declining? You are definitely not from Dajing!"
He determined that the other party was an old monster and could not be as young as he appeared.
Jiang Changsheng looked down at him expressionlessly and asked, "When I killed all the masters of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, why didn't you think I was in the Golden Body Realm? Why did you have to come to Dajing to die?"
The black-clothed man gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible. No one in the Ten Directions Land has reached the Golden Body Realm for a hundred years. Xiao Daotian was only close to it, but he did not resonate with the heaven and earth. Decades of seclusion must have given him a demonic barrier. Even without you, we would have to deal with the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but you got there first."
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Then why don't you guess that I have been in the Golden Body Realm for a long time?"
The man in black said in a deep voice: "I have guessed it, but there is no way. Chaozong is fighting for luck and is not making progress but regressing. If you are really an old monster in the Golden Body Realm, you dominate the thirteen states and support the expansion of Jing Dynasty. It is obviously a provocation to us. Even if you are in the Golden Body Realm, we will fight against you!"
He suddenly pulled out a scroll from his arms, quickly opened it, and black gas emerged from the paper.
Jiang Changsheng did not stop him and watched his performance. The black energy was only slightly stronger than the man in black and could not threaten him.
"Master Changsheng, you are too greedy. You want to monopolize the resources of the thirteen states and even expand. Tonight, I will turn this Dajing Imperial City into a purgatory on earth!"
The man in black said in a cold voice, and the black gas that surged out of the scroll quickly condensed into a skeleton. The skeleton flew up and made a sound like a human crying, which was extremely terrifying.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand, looking down from above, and shot out a finger of energy with his index finger.
The spiritual power turned into arrows, piercing through the bones, and the bones instantly fell to the ground.
The man in black widened his eyes and trembled all over.
