Chapter 97: Great Wilderness and Great Scenery, Northern Expedition
[Current incense value: 3809762]
Looking at the current incense value, Jiang Changsheng smiled with satisfaction, thinking that they were really rich.
He used the incense in his mind to calculate and ask: "I want to know if Jiang Luo is safe now?"
[Need to consume 400 incense points, do you want to continue?]
With an incense value of 400, one has at least reached the state of a god’s mind, or even approached the state of a god-man.
Meng Qiuhe's rapid improvement in skills many years ago was only worth 500 incense points, but before he died, he was a genuine god.
Seeing Jiang Luo growing up so steadily, Jiang Changsheng wanted to choose no, but then he thought, being strong doesn't mean living a good life.
Forget it, I'll make an exception for my grandson today.
Jiang Changsheng silently chose yes.
[I am safe for now, currently learning martial arts from a mysterious warrior]
"I want to know the realm of that mysterious warrior."
[Need to consume 5000 incense points, do you want to continue?]
no!
So strong?
Jiang Changsheng was immediately relieved. With 5,000 incense points, he was at least at the Golden Body Realm. Following such a master, Jiang Luo would definitely be safe, unless that guy would hurt Jiang Luo.
Even if there is harm, no matter how far away, Jiang Changsheng can't help for the time being, so he can only think positively.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Jian. He had many grandchildren, but only two of them were truly favored by him, especially Jiang Jian. He tailored martial arts for him, raised him by his side, forged magical weapons, and opened a third eye for him. He hoped that Jiang Jian would become the pillar of the Jiang family in the future.
However, the prerequisite for becoming a powerful person is not to go astray.
From now on, Jiang Changsheng will be responsible for guarding the house, and Jiang Jian will be responsible for expanding the territory. This will not only allow them to obtain survival rewards, but also allow the incense value to continue to increase.
"You already have better treatment and environment than other brothers. Don't let me down."
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes silently and concentrated on practicing.
…
At the end of the year, Yu Yanyi came to visit Jiang Changsheng and told him that a mysterious master wanted to steal the dragon vein. Jiang Changsheng calculated that the other party only had 5,000 incense points, so there was nothing to worry about.
Jiang Changsheng even suspected that the mysterious master that Jiang Luo was following was this person, but he was too lazy to calculate. If he was really an enemy, he would just kill him. Knowing this in advance, he couldn't travel all the way to the ends of the earth to find Jiang Luo.
After chatting for a while, Yu Yanyi felt disappointed and prepared to leave.
Over the years, she has given many gifts, including martial arts, rare treasures, magical weapons, etc. The Fu Yue family seems to have established a good relationship with the Longqi Temple, but she knows that there has been no substantial breakthrough.
Jiang Changsheng noticed her expression, so he took out a rejuvenation pill and gave it to Yu Yanyi.
We can't always ask people to give, and the best gift for a woman is to keep her young forever.
Not only Yu Yanyi, Qing'er also got a rejuvenation pill. She had expressed her determination to Wanli to stay in Longqi Temple for the rest of her life and not get married, and her father also agreed. In that case, Jiang Changsheng would treat it as an advance payment of her salary and let Qing'er work hard for Longqi Temple for the rest of her life.
Yu Yanyi was very happy to receive the pill, and Jiang Changsheng did not keep her for long.
This little episode did not cause any waves at Longqi Temple. This holy land of great significance rarely had conflicts with other sects. The more conflicts occurred, the more stable the image of the holy land became.
Time flies.
In the 31st year of Qianwu, 100,000 Tiance troops invaded the Yugou Dynasty bordering Dajing, displayed their divine power, and were unstoppable. They won victory after victory and fought their way to the royal city of the Yugou Dynasty. At the end of the same year, the Yugou Dynasty was annexed by Dajing.
The news spread throughout the world of Dajing, inspiring the people of the world. A dynasty was conquered in one year, and the power of Tiance was revered by the people as a divine army.
In the 32nd year of Qianwu, Dajing took control of the Yugou Dynasty. A large number of civil and military officials from the former Wei Dynasty were dispatched on express carriages. A large number of civil and military officials were also dispatched from the thirteen states to the former Wei Dynasty. After settling down, the court collected food and grass in the Yugou Dynasty, formed a logistics force, and kept up with the Tiance Army. In the second half of the year, the Tiance Army, which had just rested, began to attack the Donglin Dynasty.
The Donglin Dynasty is different from the Yugou Dynasty. There are gods guarding here, but the Tiance Army also has gods, and that is peace.
The beginning of the thirty-third year of Qianwu.
Longqi Mountain, inside the courtyard.
Jiang Xiu reported Dajing's battle achievements to everyone.
Bai Qi was happy and said with a smile: "We have finally defeated the Donglin Dynasty. It would be best if we can crush the Donglin Dynasty to the ground. I am already looking forward to killing that god-man safely!"
It was filled with emotion. When it first saw Ping An, it thought he was just a silly boy. It never expected that one day, this silly boy would be able to avenge it.
Times have really changed.
It witnessed the birth of a legend.
Jiang Xiu smiled and said, "Master Ping'an is indeed very powerful. On the way west, the Tiance Army encountered many attacks from masters, but he killed them all. He didn't spare any of them, and we didn't even have time to gather any intelligence."
Ping An, 54 years old, is at the peak of his powers. With his extraordinary skills, he can kill anyone who stands in his way and has never been defeated.
Jiang Jian felt itchy when he heard this. He was already seventeen years old, full of vigor and vitality. He looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked excitedly, "Master, can I join the army?"
Jiang Changsheng, who was standing under the tree, did not open his eyes and replied calmly, "Go after you reach the golden body."
Jiang Jian looked miserable and said, "Will I be old by the time I reach the Golden Body Realm?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "When you are twenty-five years old, I will give you the Anti-aging Pill, which will keep your youthful appearance forever."
Since he is Erlang Shen, he naturally cannot grow old.
Hearing this, Jiang Jian felt relieved.
Jiang Xiu watched this scene with a smile, he didn't have much idea about the anti-aging pill, he was the crown prince and didn't need to care about other people's thoughts, besides, a man must experience some vicissitudes of life to show his true colors.
Of course, if Jiang Changsheng could refine the elixir of immortality, he would definitely want it.
Not only him, Jiang Ziyu also often asked Jiang Changsheng if he could refine the elixir of immortality. Unfortunately, Jiang Changsheng really couldn't do it.
"Don't panic, ninth brother. Father once told me that it is important to appear on the scene. When you are needed to turn the tide, you should take action. That is when you will be most valuable." Jiang Xiu said with a smile.
Jiang Jian thought it made sense and continued to ask about the situation at the front line.
Jiang Xiu knew everything and told it all, but as he was talking, he suddenly started coughing and his face turned pale.
Hua Jianxin suddenly became nervous and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
Jiang Xiu said helplessly: "My father is on a war, his attention is all on the border, the military is busy, I naturally have to supervise the country for him and manage the affairs of other states, but this country is too big."
Hua Jianxin looked at Jiang Changsheng, who immediately came over and checked Jiang Xiu's body, and found that his body was indeed overdrawn.
While Jiang Changsheng was using his spiritual power to treat him, he said, "You still need to pay more attention to rest on weekdays and not overwork. You can ask the three provinces to help review government affairs. Didn't your father increase the staff for the prime ministers of the three provinces?"
Jiang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "If you give it all to San Sheng, you will get into big trouble sooner or later. It's okay, I will try my best to control the time later."
Jiang Changsheng did not force it. He asked Hua Jianxin to go to the house and get three bottles of pills and asked Jiang Xiu to take them back.
Jiang Xiu was grateful and felt warm in her heart.
After Jiang Xiu left, Jiang Jian said with emotion: "Fortunately, I didn't stay in the palace. If I were the same as my elder brother, it would be too miserable. It's better to practice martial arts, without so many troubles."
Jiang Jian has grown up and is very clear about his advantages. If he really competes with Jiang Xiu for the position of crown prince, he is likely to succeed.
First, his master loved him more, and second, the Qianwu era promoted martial arts, and Jiang Xiu, who had mediocre martial arts talent, was always criticized.
But he had no interest in the throne, he just wanted to be like his master.
He will never forget the time when his master flew away on a cloud when he was a child, which left him an indelible impression.
Hua Jianxin rolled her eyes at him. She turned her head to look in the direction where Jiang Xiu left, her brows full of worry.
Jiang Changsheng said meaningfully: "Everyone has their own choices. For an emperor, some things are more important than life span. Some emperors lived to be a hundred years old, but they only sought health and longevity, but had no achievements. They were only mentioned briefly in the history books. Some emperors died young but were able to amaze history. His actions show that he also has ambitions. In fact, he himself knows this, but this is his choice. We just need to try our best to help him."
All Jiang Changsheng could do was to try his best to help Jiang Xiu recover, but if Jiang Xiu still wanted to work hard and do his best, then he could do nothing. After all, this was Jiang Xiu's choice, and others could not ask him to give up the position of crown prince.
Hua Jianxin sighed. She understood the truth, but she just didn’t want to see the young die before her.
Jiang Jian scratched his head, unable to bear this atmosphere. He picked up his three-pointed double-edged sword and said to Bai Qi and Wang Chen, "I'm going to beat up Master Arakawa. Do you want to come and watch the fun?"
Bai Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Forget it, you always get beaten up."
Wang Chen nodded silently.
Jiang Jian was angry and left immediately.
…
In the thirty-fourth year of Qianwu, a delegation entered the capital, and Li Min led the White Guards to meet them in person.
In the decisive battle with the Nine Dynasties, Li Min won merit with the Killing God and Demon Sword, and was recommended by Jiang Changsheng to join the White Guard. Because he was Jiang Changsheng's man and had great martial arts skills, his status continued to rise, and now he is the second in command of the White Guard.
Li Min took the delegation to a mansion to rest.
The next morning, he brought the main envoys into the palace again. It was morning court in the Golden Palace. Jiang Ziyu was sitting on the dragon throne. There was a platform on the dragon steps below, and on the platform there was a throne, on which Jiang Xiu was sitting.
There were only this pair of father and son sitting in the court. Today, Jiang Xiu was considered the second emperor. It was rare in history for father and son to sit together in the morning court. This matter was also widely circulated among the people. It seemed that the Jiang royal family really stopped killing each other and fighting between father and son.
Li Min stopped in front of the Golden Palace and let the envoy go in by himself.
The envoy was a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing and great dignity. He walked into the Golden Palace alone. Facing the gazes of the ministers, he was not at all flustered.
He came to the dragon steps, bowed and saluted, saying: "I am Wang Shu, the envoy of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, and I pay my respects to the Emperor Dajing."
Jiang Ziyu stepped forward slightly and asked jokingly, "I wonder why the Great Wilderness Dynasty sent you here?"
Wang Shu said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty sent me here to prevent the destruction of Da Jing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
An old official pointed at him and shouted, "How dare you, you are..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Ziyu raising his hand, so he had to shut up.
Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
Wang Shu said calmly, "Da Jing's offensive will sooner or later border Da Huang. Once bordering, even if the two dynasties are on good terms, they will have to guard against each other. However, there is another dynasty in the north that is eyeing them covetously. They can easily alienate Da Huang and Da Jing. The two great dynasties will fight, and no matter who wins or loses, both will suffer. If this dynasty goes south at this time, how can Da Huang and Da Jing resist, both of whom will suffer losses?"
Jiang Ziyu was silent.
Jiang Xiu asked, "What do you mean, sir? For the sake of peace, don't invade each other?"
Wang Shu replied: "Dahuang and Dajing will join forces to march north!"
