Chapter 3 Revisiting old places

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Jiang Wang left Yun State early in the morning.

Facing the morning glow, it disappeared into the long mountain road.

He has never appeared here publicly, and he has never allowed himself to stay in this place for too long.

It's like he never allows himself to be vulnerable.

Jiang Anan had an inadvertent question that made him toss and turn on the soft couch in Ding Yunxie for a long time——

"Brother, where have you been?"

He saw the strong curiosity about the world in those beautiful big eyes.

Jiang Anan is nine years old and has almost never left Yun Country!

The only time was when Ye Lingxiao personally protected the road, A Chou accompanied him, and Ye Qingyu took action to capture and kill Zhang Linchuan's substitute clone Luo Huanhuan.

That scene of chivalry and justice that Jiang An'an talked about so much, and filled several pieces of paper, was essentially just that Ye Lingxiao was worried about leaving her alone in Cloud City.

It has been five years since he left Maplewood City, and Jiang Anan has stayed in the secret land of Lingxiao for five full years. Every once in a while, the next trip to Yuncheng is considered a trip.

What clamped down on her freedom?

Jiang Wang has been moving forward very hard, but he still feels that he is walking too slowly.

When he came to Yun Country from the Mysterious Realm, he walked very quickly and hurriedly because he had to rush for time, and he also disappeared along the way.

Now that I have left the Yun State and returned to the Qi State, I have much more time, and I no longer have to travel day and night. Although I can't say that I am arrogant, I just wear a hood casually, without much cover.

The road from Yun State to Qi State is long. He has walked it before and continues to walk it now.

I used to walk slowly because I was not strong enough and had to be cautious.

I walk slowly now because I want to walk slowly.

Feel the meaning of time in the steps measured by space.

The young man who traveled afar with his sword was not fearless. It was just that he had no country behind him and no shade above his head. He could only brave the wind and rain, and overcome thorns and thorns.

Over the years, he has traveled back and forth between Qi and Yun many times. In order to hide his whereabouts, the route has been different each time. Whether traveling through the Southern Region, Northern Region, or Central Region, he is very familiar with it.

This time he passed by the river viewing platform, took the Suanni Bridge, crossed Woji, and crossed Zhongshan.

Yes, he came to Zhongshan Kingdom again.

At first, he was falsely accused of being a demon and was wanted by the world in Jingshitai. He was almost taken to Yujing Mountain for trial and died unjustly.

It was at this place that he was captured by Zhao Xuanyang, the genius of Jingguo.

Ji Zhaonan once came here to rescue him with a gun, and Shi Minghui once fought against Pei Xinghe on a certain Jiuzhen Bridge not far away.

Just like the journey he took, Guanhetai and Zhongshan State both traveled together. He won the honor of the leader of the Yellow River for Qi State, won generous benefits from the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, and Qi State also gave courtesy to the genius of other countries.

Now he is still sitting in the restaurant where he stayed at that time, listening to people talking loudly, but no one mentioned his name anymore. Both the meeting of the Yellow River and the hunt for demons in the world were already events in the year 3919 of the Taoist calendar. Escape from the demon

In the hinterland of the clan, several months have passed since returning from the world of Shenxiao. There are many heroes in the central region, and the drinkers are not short of talking points.

No matter how turbulent overseas is, people in the Central Territory generally don't pay much attention. The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons is right under Tianjing City, and the stories of the demon world are even more touching.

They discussed Chunyu Gui, Chen Suan, Xu San, Pei Hongjiu, Lou Junlan, and Taiyu Li Yi. By the way, they also mentioned Chongxuan Zun who was practicing swordsmanship in the demon world.

Jiang Wang listened for a few times, but he didn't hear anything bad about Zhong Xuanzun, so he became uninterested.

People from the Central Territory who are accustomed to have a higher eye than the top, mention Zhongxuanzun with praises. What is perfect, something that is rare to see in a thousand years, what is unparalleled, what is an eternal talent...

In their mouths, it seems that they are surpassing Chunyu Gui and chasing Li Yi! As a subordinate citizen of Jingguo, why did the people of Zhongshan not admire Jingguo but instead admire Qi? I wonder if Chunyu Guitong disagrees?

Thinking back to the time when these Zhongshan people talked about the other person who was also known as the Twin Jewels of the Qi Dynasty, they acted like a devil with one sip. The originally ordinary wine in the cup actually had a bit more sourness.

The quietness of the restaurant happened in an instant.

Of course, Jiang Wang saw the white-clothed Marquis entering the restaurant before those quiet ones.

If you say Chongxuanzun, Chongxuanzun will come!

Even among the drinkers present, even though they had scolded Fang Qiu and compared Zhongxuanzun horizontally and vertically with hundreds of heroes, none of them had seen Zhongxuanzun with their own eyes.

But his appearance and temperament are really eye-catching. His white clothes are as white as snow, and his starry eyes are shining in the night. When he stops at the door, he naturally attracts everyone's attention.

And with a glance, he walked towards Jiang Wang.

"Why are you still wearing a cloak?" He gently brushed away some grease on the bench, and then naturally sat down in front of Jiang Wang.

The two of them work side by side on the battlefield and work together as door gods in the court. Their relationship is no longer as tense as it was before.

In other words, even during the tense period, they still appreciated each other.

Recognize each other and do their best.

Jiang Wang casually took off his cloak and put it aside. He picked up the wine pot, flipped the wine glass, and poured a glass of wine for the person in front of him. He said, "It can protect you from the wind and rain."

Zhong Xuanzun didn't pick up the wine glass. Of course he wouldn't drink this kind of wine, and he would never come to this kind of restaurant. He just smiled and said, "How can it cover you from the wind and rain?"

Jiang Wang said quietly: "Better than nothing."

The last time Ji Zhaonan came out of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, he arrived here in time.

Zhong Xuanzun, who practiced swordsmanship in the demon world, appeared here so accurately. It would not be a chance encounter.

When he left the Mysterious Realm, he did not hand over military affairs to anyone. In fact, there was no military affairs to hand over. Except for himself, there was nothing left in his army.

But although the dust of the Mysterious World War has settled, there is still a lot of finishing work to do.

Qi Xiao has fallen from the extraordinary level. Cao Jie is not suitable to take part in many things, and he still needs to recover from his injuries.

As a Qi Fang general whose title was only lower than that of Cao Du, he actually shouldered some responsibilities and could also hold the knife to kill cattle and divide many interests, but he chose to leave and walk away.

This is nothing, at most it bears the name of arrogance.

In the end, he disobeyed Qi Xiao's military order, refused to attack Chen Zhitao and Zhu Biqiong, and cut off Diaohailou's future, which was a very serious violation of the law.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Qi Xiao died unfortunately and there was no evidence of his death, there would still be room for debate. But he only sent Qi Xiao back to Jueming Island and strictly ordered no one to affect Qi Shuai's recovery.

...I should have woken up a long time ago and still don’t know how to impeach.

Does Jiang Wang do things without considering the consequences?

Maybe he has already considered it.

But he decided to do it anyway.

Just as he saw Chong Xuanzun sitting across from him, he was still so calm.

Between friends and himself, he always chooses the former.

Between conscience and future, he would rather kill the latter.

After Zhong Xuanzun walked in, the whole restaurant became much quieter. People talked in low voices and looked at him with concern from time to time.

They may not recognize the two of them, but the man in white is already extremely handsome, and the swordsman who has been drinking alone for a long time and has taken off his cloak, sitting across from him, is not inferior in the slightest.

Dressed in green and white, they are all in their own style, completely unlike the people here!

Zhong Xuanzun sat in a casual posture, with a strand of hair in front of his forehead, which separated his clear and bright eyebrows. He asked casually: "Why did you choose such a restaurant?"

Of course he was talking about the issue of status. Compared with the status of the Marquis of Da Qi, this restaurant is too shabby, too poor, and too low-end.

"This is my second time coming to this restaurant." Jiang Wang said, "I remember this place wasn't called this name before. Now it's called 'Xuanwu House', which probably refers to the four images."

The restaurant that was in ruins at that time has now been rebuilt. In Jiang Wang's opinion, the name "Xuanwu" also means using water to extinguish fire. After all, this building was originally burned in his fire world.

But the waiter, who was just holding a plate of food, came over and said, "The guest has misunderstood. The name of our restaurant has nothing to do with Sixiang."

This waiter was quite bold, and others did not dare to raise his voice for fear of disturbing him. However, he answered the conversation casually and without any restraint.

"What's the reason for that?" Jiang Wang asked.

While serving dishes, the waiter said proudly: "This is to commemorate a battle that happened here, Zhao Xuanyang versus Jiang Wu'an."

Chong Xuanzun raised his chin, half-smiling but not smiling: "Is this battle so famous?"

"It's not bad." The waiter said matter-of-factly, "The main thing is that we haven't had any major incidents here. We just happened to catch up, so don't worry too much."

He added: "Besides, isn't Jiang Wu'an doing well now? I heard that he is going to marry the princess of Qi soon."

"Oh?" Chong Xuanzun looked at Jiang Wang meaningfully and said, "I haven't heard of this. There are quite a few princesses in Qi. I wonder which one Jiang Wu'an wants to marry?"

"The most famous one." The waiter vowed, as if he was the wedding groom: "Qi State is likely to have a female emperor, and Jiang Wu'an is very powerful in war. In the battle of Guiyi, he killed 100,000 soldiers.

, slaughtered five Xiahou, which was even more brutal than the previous slaughter——"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Wang had to interrupt: "Who did you listen to?"

"Your Majesty, you don't believe me?" The waiter said innocently: "My third aunt's son's senior brother from the college participated in the Qi-Xia War, and he knows a lot about these things! I heard what my third aunt's son said, that is

How can first-hand information be wrong?"

Jiang Wang asked: "Is your third aunt's son's senior fellow from the academy a native of Xia?"

"He's from Liguo," the waiter said.

One of the parties who watched the fire from across the bank during the Qi-Xia War.

"You don't know the truth, so don't spread it." Jiang Wang said seriously: "The one who killed hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers was the Chongxuan champion. Did you know? He was a murderer."

Chong Xuanzun raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

"I'll tell you what!" The waiter slapped his thigh: "How can someone with the surname Chongxuan be kind?"

He was in awe: "May I ask who you are?"

Jiang Wangdao: "I was the tree beside the pit, and I could see it clearly at that time."

Only then did the waiter realize that he was teasing him. He put away the food plate and bowed before leaving: "You talk a lot, please don't take offense."

"I didn't talk too much, just chatting!" Jiang Wang didn't mean to pursue the matter. It's normal for people to say anything outrageous. Instead, he looked at him with interest: "You are a bold person. I don't know why I can't reveal my name."

?”

"You can't tell him." Chongxuan Zun said in a frightened voice: "Be careful if he goes back to complain and ask the Princess of Qi to send someone to Zhongshan to get you."

The waiter was not afraid: "This guest officer turns out to be from Qi?"

Chong Xuanzun looked at Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang nodded.

"Hai Yang." The waiter smiled and said, "My name is Hai Yang. I chose it myself."

Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "Why did you choose this name?"

The waiter said: "I have never seen the sea, only the long river. That was three years ago. I was running with the caravan. The waves were hitting the sky, not to mention how beautiful it was! The long river was so beautiful.

There is a name, the vast sea of ​​land. I think the real vast sea must be more beautiful and magnificent than the long river."

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment: "Yes. That is really a beautiful place."

It doesn't take many years.

Here in Zhongshan Kingdom, the dangers of the sea are no longer forgotten.

Those sacrifices and heroic deeds gradually lost their flavor in the repeated chewing after meals.

I really hope it's a wonderful place.

I really wish... I had never seen the sea.

Seeing that Jiang Wang was no longer in the mood for conversation, the waiter named Haiyang said, "Guests are welcome," and turned to leave.

Chong Xuanzun just sat there quietly, still not touching the food or wine.

Jiang Wang took the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls before he asked proactively: "Come take me back?"

Chongxuan obeyed: "It's better for me to come than for others to come."

"That's the truth." Jiang Wang nodded: "Wait until I finish eating these, don't waste them."

When Chong Xuanzun came to see someone, it could be said that he was just a reminder. If it were Shi Minghui, Xiu Yuan and the others who came here, it would be an apology.

"Eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Zhong Xuanzun has a temperament that comes and goes, just like the smile on the corner of his mouth, which is always looming. When you catch it carefully, it disappears.

This is an elusive figure.

Jiang Wang said again: "Actually, I want to go back myself. But I want you to make one more trip."

Zhongxuanzun only said: "This is your attitude."

"That makes sense." Jiang Wang didn't follow any dining etiquette. He chatted while eating and drinking, and his tone was very relaxed: "How are you in the demon world?"

Zhong Xuanzun just watched him eat, drink, and... chatted with him.

"Not bad." Hou, the champion of Daqi, said slowly and authentically: "I just get a little confused occasionally."

"What confusion?" Jiang Wang said confidently: "As a senior who has ventured into the demon world, maybe I can give you some life experience."

Zhong Xuanzun shrugged: "I don't know why, many times I just make the most time-saving choice... They all think I am brainless."

"That's strange." Jiang looked at him: "Does anyone dare to say you have no brains to your face?"

Of course there are people who criticize Zhong Xuanzun behind his back, and they speak very loudly. For example, Zhong Xuan Sheng. But those who dare to criticize openly require some courage. This is a master who loves to hit people on the head with the sun disk.

.

"They scolded them very directly." Chongxuan followed.

Jiang Wang asked with great interest: "Why did you curse?"

"Quite similar to Wu'an!"

boom!!!

On this day, everyone in Lanshan City, Zhongshan State, heard an earth-shaking loud noise.

The loud noise was like thunder, rolling incessantly.

The entire Xuanwu Tower was illuminated by flames.
