Chapter 24: Going north with integrity

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Qi Tianjiao is better than the Tianjiao in the world."

This was Jiang Wang's bold statement in front of Emperor Qi.

At that time, the emperor wanted to let Jiang Wang serve as the captain of Beiya, but Jiang Wang refused. The emperor did not blame him, but asked, "How will you repay me?"

Jiang Wang responded with this statement.

To this day, he has ennobled three thousand households with his military merits. Looking at the world, he is unparalleled among his peers. It can be said that he has lived up to his arrogance at the time.

And this time he went on a mission to the grassland with integrity, precisely because he was the face of Qi.

Especially after Mu Guo lost the war with Jing Guo and fully retreated to the Northern Territory. This time the succession ceremony of the Crown Sermon High Priest of Cangtu Temple has extraordinary significance.

The eyes of the whole world will fall on the grassland, waiting for the next move of the Queen of the Shepherd Country.

In such a stormy moment, the majesty of the Eastern Kingdom must not be lost.

Chong Xuanzun and Jiang Wang are both good choices. Looking at the world, they will not be inferior to any of their peers. But since the emperor has appointed Jiang Wang,

He must take responsibility.

The holder of the talisman festival is the official envoy of the Da Qi Empire, appointed by the emperor, and the emperor's daughter Zhuangxing...

Jiang Wang's trip north to Hengyang this time was full of pomp and circumstance.

Two hundred people from the Tianfu Army were specially assigned to serve as guards of honor for Jiang Wang's envoy, and all of them had a minimum level of cultivation in the Tenglong realm.

When he, Ji Zhaonan, and Chong Xuanzun went to the battle of the Yellow River together, the honor guard was nothing more than that.

The only difference is that that time there were two troops from the Inner Realm leading the army, but this time there was only one.

His name is Qiao Lin.

It was the Tianfu Soldier who was at Guanhe Terrace at that time, accompanying Jiang Wang to watch games every day, and was keen to share news from all corners of the country with Jiang Wang.

From the meeting of the Yellow River to the present, he has also opened up the inner palace and became a captain in the Tianfu Army.

This time he was transferred to serve as Jiang Wang's bodyguard, commanding two hundred warriors, and sent him as an envoy to the grassland. It was also a reunion with old friends.

Speaking of which, even if two hundred elite soldiers of the Sky Overturning Army formed a military formation, it would be almost impossible to interfere with Jiang Wang's current battle. The significance of guarding was almost useless.

But Jiang Wang is representing the country on this trip, and the necessary honor guards are still indispensable.

In Hengyang County, he said goodbye to a group of people who were seeing him off, and was guarded by two hundred elite soldiers on horseback. Jiang Wang sat alone in a special carriage specially made for envoys, and headed north.

Everything is peaceful in Linzi, but there is nothing to worry about.

Lou Zishan, the newly appointed governor of Hengyang County, came ten miles away to see him off, and said goodbye reluctantly in the border town.

Today, Marquis Wu'an is naturally the pride of Yangdi.

Among the three counties in Yangdi, Hengyang County, as the capital of the old Yang Kingdom, is far stronger than the other two counties. After Huang Yixing's death, Gao Shaoling, the governor of Chiwei County, once tried to transfer to Hengyang, but because the Linhai Gao family had insufficient background,

Couldn't succeed.

Unexpectedly, it was Lou Zishan who had the last laugh. He was not from a noble family, and he had never heard of any big shots relying on him. Jiang Wang specifically read the evaluation given by the Political Affairs Hall, which said he was "Excellent in Internal Affairs". It seemed that he was so talented.

Those who live above him also intend to make friends. He also contributed to the disappearance of Shi Shi.

In addition, Tian Antai turned into a lunatic on the battlefield of the Conquest of Xia, so naturally he could no longer serve as his governor of Rizhao County. This was regarded as a sacrifice for the country, and the court could not seize his power, so an elder of the Tian family succeeded Ichida Chang.

I have been seeking this position and made a lot of efforts, but in the end I failed to achieve my goal.

It is said that he is the final candidate appointed by Tian Anping.

Jiang Wang is not too clear about the details. After achieving Dongzhen, Tian Anping's voice in the Tian family obviously increased again, and the relationship between Tian Chang and Jiang Wang became more cautious. After returning from the summer expedition, there was almost no contact.

.

Jiang Wang is not saying that he must use Tian Chang and Tian He to do something, but he is somewhat instinctively wary of a dangerous person like Tian Anping. He can feel more at ease by holding a few trump cards in his hand.

This trip to Mu Country was a long way away, but for Jiang Wang, it was still just practice.

Except that Qiao Lin was really talkative and would come to tell Jiang Wang some military anecdotes from time to time, there was almost nothing else.

Jiang Wang didn't mind either, Quan was just an adjustment on the way.

A few casual remarks will not affect your cultivation.

"The area we are walking now used to be very chaotic. It was known as Wo Niu Tomb. Zheng and Qu were fighting fiercely, and several small countries in the surrounding areas were also disturbed. There were also many mountain bandits and bandits.

They are wandering around here." Qiao Lin said enthusiastically: "After the battle in Xingyueyuan, both families have become much more peaceful. In Qi State and Jing State, they always have to choose sides."

It is not unusual for a small team leader to explain the general trend of the world to the Marquis of Wu'an.

At the meeting of the Yellow River, he even explained the battle to Marquis Wu An!

In other words, when Wu Anhou won the title of the Yellow River, he also contributed, right?

Many people in the army still didn't believe it. This time so many people saw it, and they turned around and slapped them in the face one by one.

"Really?" Jiang Wang asked.

"That's not the case! The dog's brain is about to be knocked out." Qiao Lin vowed: "It means we are worried about our attitude towards Jing Guo, otherwise Zheng and Qu would have been killed long ago."

Jiang Wang, as the undoubted senior leader of Qi State, certainly knows that Zheng and Qu have been fighting openly and secretly to fight for their independence in a relatively fierce way.

But he did not mock Qiao Lin for his ignorance, but said with great interest: "Do you also know about the situation of Zheng Guo?"

Now this place is called Woniuao. It is right between the two countries Zheng and Qu. I don’t know why it got its name. But it is true that it occupies a very large area. It is also true that the two countries have been in chaos for many years with the tacit consent of Zheng and Qu.

of.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was half-opened. Qiao Lin took the driver's job, sat on the driver's seat, held the reins, and said confidently: "Zheng Guo, their king is not good enough. He is old and only relies on the power of the country.

Shen Lin, who has barely achieved success, has very unstable cultivation, and it is impossible to transcend officialdom.

If you want to go further, you can't do it. You can't abdicate. To abdicate now is to reverse your cultivation, or to die. You can only waste the country's luck to keep your cultivation and hang your life. The civil and military ministers below are working hard to do things, but it's not enough for him to consume. Now he is one hundred and seventy.

Even though he is 6 years old, I don’t know how many more years Zheng Guo can hang him.

Jiang Wang asked thoughtfully: "Isn't there Gu Shiyi in Zheng State? He doesn't care?"

Speaking of Gu Shiyi, Qiao Lin also spoke with respect: "Gu Daxia has long said that he will ignore national affairs and will not take action unless he encounters a disaster that will destroy the country. The royal family of Zheng Kingdom had a Gu Daxia, otherwise the current king would

He has been dragged off his horse a long time ago."

Gu Shiyi's reputation as a heroic hero spread far and wide, and even soldiers like Qiao Lin spoke of him with great clarity.

Thinking of the heroic hero, Jiang Wang then thought of the heroic hero Yan Shaofei of Wei. He was also a heart-wrenching figure. Since the meeting on the Yellow River, he has never been heard from again, and he has no idea where he went.

It’s not surprising that one day he will become famous all over the world again, or that he will never appear in the world’s ears again.

The present world is grand and the history is vast.

How many heroes seem to shine for a moment, and how many can shine forever like the blazing sun?

Jiang Wang said casually: "Since this place is a bit messy, you should pay more attention."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis." Qiao Lin said: "The final general has already been arranged, and the brothers are very alert."

Jiang Wang added: "The elite soldiers of Tianfu Army are the guards of honor. I don't think there will be many people who don't open their eyes to disturb us."

Of course Qiao Lin is proud of you.

He said cheerfully: "That's right! Our team of envoys from the Great Qi Empire don't dare to bring trouble to those little ones. The general will keep your car so tight that even flies can't fly over it. You can practice with peace of mind!"

Before he finished speaking, a sound suddenly sounded -

"Xu Zeming, the disciple of Taixu, please meet Taixu's envoy Jiang Wang!"

It was the envoy of Taixu who was summoned, not the Marquis of Wu'an of Qi State.

Jiang Wang looked out from the carriage and saw a young man, wearing a yin and yang Taoist robe, standing in front of the motorcade.

Xu Zefu, whom Jiang Wang had met before and was awarded the Taixu Corner Tower token, although he looks very different, there is only one word difference in his name, so he should be a fellow disciple of the same generation.

Its popularity is powerful and unfathomable, which can well reflect the foundation of Taixu Sect.

Jiang Wang waved his hand, indicating that his entourage should not be alert, and said loudly: "I'll ask the Taoist Commander to talk to you in the car."

Xu Zeming was not polite, he just stepped up and squeezed into the carriage.

Compared with the calm and calm Xu Zefu, he is obviously much sharper.

Sitting opposite Jiang Wang in the carriage of Kuan Jing, he raised his hand, lowered the curtain first, and blocked the sound, as if he wanted to discuss a secret.

Jiang Wang calmly picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and asked, "I wonder what the relationship between Taoist Xu Zefu and Your Excellency is?"

"He is my senior brother." Xu Zeming probably didn't want to mention Xu Zefu, so he just replied casually and said: "From now on, I will contact you about matters related to Taixu Illusion Realm."

Jiang Wang asked: "Is there something wrong with Taoist Master Xu Zefu?"

Xu Zeming glanced at him: "Actually, whoever contacts you has no impact on you."

"This is just a word of concern for an old friend." Jiang Wang said with a smile.

Xu Zeming then said: "He suffered backlash when he created Taoism. He is still recovering from his injuries and will not be able to get out of seclusion for three to five years."

"In this way" Jiang Wang sat with his hands folded, still with a slight smile on his face: "I remember that when I communicated with Mr. Zefu, I did not mention any follow-up matters.

The materials were taken out of the place and the Taixu turret was built, thus obtaining the ownership, that’s all. I don’t know why the leader came to visit today?”

Xu Zeming also felt the alienation in Jiang Wang's attitude, and said seriously: "Jiang Wang, please believe that I have no ill intentions towards you. Taixu Illusion is the greatest creation in the world, and it was born for the glorious future of the human race. One day

, it will definitely be able to realize all the brilliant ideas. As the messenger of Taixu, you are a part of this great thing like us. We should unite as one and work hard for the human race. "

Jiang Wang's smile was calm: "I fully recognize the greatness of Taixu Illusion... But Mr. Xu, you haven't said you have anything to do with me.

This time I am sent to the grasslands to fulfill my national mission, so I may not have much time to waste."

Xu Zeming also said: "Since the development of Taixu Illusion Realm, a large number of monks have joined every day, covering almost all countries in the world.

A large number of problems inevitably arise. For example, some people who should not participate participate; for example, some people use special magical powers to disrupt the rules of Taixu Illusion; for example, some people do not join through Taixu Corner Tower or Yueyue, but

Adopting abnormal methods and these behaviors will affect the stability of Taixu Illusion and add a lot of unnecessary burdens to our work. In the long run, it will affect the healthy operation of Taixu Illusion and the future of the human race. "

This is a man who is really used to grand narratives.

From a historical perspective, such people are often very dangerous.

"So?" Jiang Wang asked.

Xu Zeming sat meticulously and spoke in a very serious tone: "Our Taixu Sect adheres to the principles of absolute impartiality and absolute neutrality and should not interfere too much in the Taixu Illusion Realm. At present, we are the participants who hope to promote the Taixu Illusion Realm.

, solve these problems yourself."

Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "How to solve it?"

"Our current plan is like this. Envoy, you can also refer to it and provide your opinions." Xu Zeming said: "We hope to create a Taixu Scroll that can solve some problems that arise during the operation of the Taixu Illusion Realm.

Some troubles encountered, as well as those who caused the troubles, are recorded on it. In the form of bounties, tasks are issued to all participants in Taixu Illusion, in order to achieve a healthy autonomous cycle of Taixu Illusion. Everything ends as it should.

Si, we will not interfere."

"Sounds very good." Jiang Wang said: "Then why didn't you do this?"

"Because not everyone, like you, the messenger, has a clear understanding of Taixu Illusion and its great significance." Xu Zeming said:

"The operation of Taixu Illusion needs to be carried out under the supervision of all the major forces in the world. If we want to make any kind of adjustment, we need to get the approval of most of the forces. This includes creating the Taixu Scroll."

Jiang Wang picked up the tea cup and said softly: "Then you are looking for the wrong person."

"I think I am not a confused person. I can still see something with these eyes." Xu Zeming looked at Jiang Wang with sincere eyes: "There is no doubt about the importance of Marquis Wu'an of Da Qi in Qi State. The political power you can mobilize The resources are there for all to see. We hope you can help promote this matter. Of course, we don't just invite you, you just need to express your attitude when discussing this matter in your country. We are willing to pay generous remuneration for this. "

"You?" Jiang Wang smiled: "I would like to ask, Mr. Xu, can you... represent the entire Taixu Sect?"

Xu Zeming said without hesitation: "Of course."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang said, "I will consider it."

Xu Zeming frowned: "But you haven't heard what the reward is yet."

Jiang Wang thought that he was already ignorant of the world, but Xu Zeming was even better.

I don’t know how to serve tea to guests, and I don’t know how to speak politely.

Perhaps it is because they have been isolated from the world for too long, or because of the transcendent status of the Taixu Sect, they are rarely rejected by others, so they do not understand rejections that are too tactful?

Jiang Wang had a headache. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the last communication between Mr. Zefu and I, as the Taixu Messenger, my only obligation is to build the Taixu Corner Tower and maintain the Taixu Corner Tower. I think I will do it." It's not bad. As for other things, they are not within my ability and are not my responsibility. I have my own things to do and can't spare too much energy. I'm sorry, but I can't create greatness with you.

Xu Zeming looked at him in confusion, and his eyes slowly showed a somewhat hurt look: "Messenger, I have heard about your deeds, learned about your past, and have some knowledge of you. We all have good intentions for the world, we are all passionate about the future, we all have ideals, we are all sincere and I thought we should be the same people."

"Perhaps you don't know me well enough." Jiang Wang didn't intend to explain more. After saying this, he smiled and said, "The Taoist priest doesn't plan to go to Muguo with me, does he?"

Xu Zeming looked at him deeply and said nothing. He picked up the cup of tea poured for him, took a sip, and then put it down.

The whole person just became blurred and disappeared into the carriage.
