Liu Rui looked into the East Emperor's Mirror with a blank expression.
Upon seeing this, Our Lady of Golden Light comforted her and said: "Disciple, your qualifications are excellent. Whether it is opportunity, wisdom, understanding, or perseverance, they are all top-notch. Everyone has their own opportunities, and you don't need to force comparison!"
"Besides, I have seen too many people who were astonishingly talented in the early stage. They were weak and weak in the later stage, and their foundation collapsed. In the end, they wasted their years and were gradually overtaken by those who came after them!"
"Eternal life is a competition of years. You compete with me, but you don't have to care about winning or losing in the moment!"
"What you need to do now is to stop appropriately and lay down a solid foundation. When the time is enough, you will naturally have your own opportunities!"
Liu Rui's face changed. She was so smart. How could she not understand the meaning behind the words of Our Lady of Golden Light?
"Does the master ask the disciple to give up Prince Zheng?"
Liu Rui's face changes.
Seeing that Liu Rui understood what she meant, Our Lady of Golden Light was waiting for Liu Rui's decision.
In fact, if possible, Our Lady of Golden Light would also like to help Liu Rui seize the hundreds of thousands of elites from the Qian Dynasty, but if she takes action, she will inevitably attract Demon Slayer True Monarch and other powerful figures from Tongshan Taoism.
But Jin Niang teaches others that they have little chance of winning when facing Zhang Jian.
The Jinniang Sect does have some treasures that may pose a threat to the opponent, but the Golden Mother of Light is unwilling to burn the boat.
The world is vast, and the fertile land of Dongzhou is just one place. There is no need for her to risk the loss of her foundation and fight to the death with the opponent.
…
In the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, Zhang Jian's huge Yuan Shen's spiritual consciousness minutely controlled countless sword energies to disperse, clutch and connect. The dense sword light kept shuttled back and forth, intertwining around the Three Phase Ancestor's body.
After Zhang Jian became a master of Yuan Shen, he had not yet had time to carefully understand the higher-level application methods of Luan Xing Sword Technique, but now he had an opportunity to practice it.
The ancestor of the Three Phases holds the banner of the Evil God, and there are evil clouds forming around him, like countless thin lines protruding into the Zhoutian Starry Formation. Countless black energy is working hard to pollute the various nodes of the Zhoutian Starry Formation. He Trying to understand the mystery of the sword formation and break through it.
He is heading in the right direction.
In essence, Zhoutian's Star Dou Formation was only at the Pure Yang level.
But he met Zhang Jian, a freak.
When the formation was about to be torn apart, Zhang Jian could always rely on his vast ocean-like consciousness to control more Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Qi to fill the sword formation and suppress the Three Phase Ancestor back.
Secondly, the Ziwei Imperial Qi was so majestic that it destroyed all laws, which caused great trouble to the ancestor of the Three Phases.
The Ziwei sword's light is sharp and fierce. Once it is stabbed, it will tear apart the body's protective magic and kill the soul directly.
"Unfortunately, my use of Dragon Qi and Emperor Qi is still crude. There is a lack of practical data support in many places, and I take it too much for granted..."
Zhang Jian had secret thoughts in his heart.
At this time, he was becoming more and more coveted for the methods within King Jun's Jinren that could control and circulate dragon energy and imperial energy.
If he can master such profound inheritance, his combat power will be greatly enhanced.
The upper limit of Sheji Emperor Yuanshen is far more than this.
His current state is far from the limit of the Sheji Emperor Yuan Shen!
At this time, Zhang Jian still had some energy to control the East Emperor's Mirror. To his surprise, the other Great Master of Beichu in the palace of Guangyuan City actually chose to sit back and watch without taking any action.
…
With Zhang Jian's cover, the expeditionary army retreated very smoothly.
Although there were subsequent obstructions from local armies from various counties in Northern Chu, how could the local armies from various counties in Northern Chu withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like expeditionary army?
What's more, there are three real Yuanshen in the army.
Half a month later, the expeditionary army retreated to Shuangyuan County, which bordered Dagan Dingyuan County and was surrounded by Dagan border troops.
Once here, the expeditionary army is completely safe.
After arriving at the destination, Master Fenglei couldn't stand it any longer. He found an opportunity to say goodbye to Master Huang He and left.
Master Huang He also understands this, and Master Fenglei has been able to support it until now, and he has done his best to benevolent and righteous.
On the hillside, An Ruming looked at Guangyuan City behind him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xueshi Zhang is really a god. He actually blocked hundreds of thousands of Northern Chu troops in Guangyuan City with one person. Such Taoist and magical powers can be described as myths!"
An Ruming admired him endlessly.
On the side, Master Huang He and Master Yinghuo nodded slightly.
Thanks to Academician Zhang who held back the Sanxiang Patriarch and the monks from the Northern Chu side, otherwise Guangyuan City would have been the burial place for these hundreds of thousands of elite cadres.
"I just don't know where my ancestor is now?"
When Master Huang He and Master Yinghuo heard this, the joy of the rest of their lives gradually dissipated.
Although with the help of Zhang Jian, he avoided the fate of being made a dumpling, he still had to face the fierce backlash of Daqian's luck.
How useful it was for Dong Shen to use the power of Daqian Dragon Veins before, but how much backlash he has to bear today!
The longer it is in contact with Daqian Dragon Qi and Daqian Guoyun, the greater the backlash will be.
This is just the beginning. When Da Qian collapses and his fate completely backfires, the two of them may not be able to withstand it.
Not to mention that at that time, I would have to face the insults of other practitioners.
Master Yinghuo couldn't help but sigh: "I hope the ancestor can overcome the difficulties and come back again!"
At the same time, as they returned to Daqian, many news in Daqian gradually came under the control of An Ruming and others.
Now the inside of Daqian has become a mess.
Since the death of the emperor and the news of the destruction of the imperial city spread, various vassal kings have successively raised their troops to Haojing City, naturally for no other reason than to compete for the throne.
The main body of the expeditionary army is the Shence Army, which is the forbidden army. Whether to return to Haojing City at this time has become the decision that An Ruming is about to face.
In the military camp, above the position of the coach, An Ruming looked thoughtful. How could he not know that this was a good opportunity to enter the center?
If he could lead this army of hundreds of battles and return to Haojing City in advance to support the new emperor's enthronement, he might not be able to achieve a position above ten thousand people.
This is also a huge temptation for An Ruming.
If he had never personally participated in the battle against Chu, An Ruming would definitely do this. But now that he has experienced the battle against Chu and witnessed many masters fighting each other, An Ruming knows it very well.
The change of authority must not only rely on the elite soldiers in hand, but also need the support of extraordinary strength, otherwise it will still be water from a bamboo basket.
An Ruming was not willing to give up easily, so he naturally set his sights on Master Huang He and Master Yinghuo.
After traveling together for several months, everyone knew the basics. He might be able to start from these two Yuanshen Daoist people.
Having been dealing with immortal cultivators for a long time, An Ruming also knows very well that although most of these immortal cultivators have unpredictable minds, they also have their own desires.
Even wanting more than ordinary people.
"General An, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your lovely wife and beautiful family at home?!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to An Ruming, which immediately made An Ruming's face change. But when he saw the person coming, his expression relaxed slightly, and he stood up quickly and said.
"It turns out to be Bachelor Zhang. The Bachelor is back?!"
At this time, his face looked joyful, and he was preparing to summon his soldiers and prepare a reception banquet for Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian waved his hand but refused.
He returned to the army at this time, not to celebrate with everyone.
Now that Daqian has finally brought back these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, it's time for a showdown with An Ruming.
Zhang Jian looked at An Ruming. Under his faint gaze, An Ruming suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He calmed down involuntarily and heard Zhang Jian laugh.
"Speaking of which, I and General An are actually very close!"
An Ruming was slightly surprised, but Zhang Jian smiled slightly and said again.
"Has General An ever known a place called Xishan Temple?"
"Xishan Temple? You will never know that this place is an incense resort on the outskirts of Haojing City!"
An Ruming's face suddenly changed. He looked at Zhang Jian and couldn't help but ask.
"Xueshi Zhang, why did you suddenly mention the Xishan Temple?"
The smile on An Ruming's face completely faded, and his eyes were calm, except for a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Zhang Jian said calmly.
"It turns out that General An has not forgotten, so General An should still remember Concubine Song!"
Zhang Jian stood with his hands behind his back, but his soul and consciousness enveloped An Ruming, and a ray of power from Ziwei Emperor's destiny was activated, covering An Ruming and suppressing his Greedy Wolf destiny.
An Ruming immediately felt a mountain-like pressure suddenly appear on him.
Zhang Jian's attitude towards this greedy wolf master was consistent, giving both kindness and power.
Mainly to intimidate.
The Lord of Greedy Wolf's destiny is an extremely selfish existence. He is afraid of power and has no morals. Only his strength can win his respect.
Before, he had always held the handle of An Ruming's lifeline and was able to control him!
But now, with the death of Emperor Jingwu and the collapse of the Qianlong dynasty, An Ruming may no longer be able to control An Ruming.
Now we need to re-test the safety of one and two.
As Zhang Jian waved his hand, a green lotus with countless pure and holy radiance condensed and took shape in An Ruming's eyes.
This immediately made An Ruming look ugly. He never expected that the 'living saint' in front of him, the great savior of the expeditionary force, would actually overlap with that nightmare-like figure, and it turned out to be the same person.
Thinking of the performance of this "Qinglian Tianzun" who could stand alone against thousands of troops, An Ruming's face changed drastically.
After a while, the commander came down from his seat and bowed his head.
"An is willing to obey the wishes of the Heavenly Lord!"
Zhang Jian turned his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and nodded.
"Very good! I thought that General An would forget my teachings after he became full-fledged!"
An Ru Ming quickly clasped his fists: "Ru Ming doesn't dare!"
"It's okay if you don't dare. I can come all the way to save you. Naturally, I can also take everything from you at any time!"
An Ruming lowered his head.
Zhang Jian looked indifferent, and then he said.
"I am here because I have a mission for you. I want you to lead these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers back to Haojing Town as soon as possible to suppress the rebellion, eliminate those rebellious feudal lords, and help me stabilize the overall situation!"
An Ruming clasped his fists and immediately said in a deep voice: "I will obey the order of the Lord!"
“Very good!”
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
Since An Ruming was obedient, he no longer triggered the spell deep in An Ruming's soul.
He slowly stepped out of the tent in one step.
He did not choose to return to the capital with the troops in Shuangyuan County, but planned to return to Haojing City first to take charge of the overall situation.
Now the situation in Daqian is completely under his control. If everything goes well, the Zhang family will be able to complete the initial layout soon.
At this time, inside the tent, An Ruming's face suddenly darkened. He clenched his fingers tightly, but after a moment, he felt a little weak.
With the strength and conduct Zhang Jian showed in Beichu, there was no way he could challenge him.
An Ruming's face changed, his fingers relaxed slightly for a moment, and his eyes became dim.
…
In Haojing City, the Zhang family residence has been flooded with guests during this period.
Especially when I learned that many vassal kings were rushing to Haojing City, there were more and more guests, but Zhang Jian never showed up, which made many civil and military ministers a little anxious.
Fortunately, half a month later, Zhang Jian finally showed up.
In the Zhang family hall, many civil and military ministers gathered together, and it seemed like a small temple.
The ministers gather together, the stars shine brightly!
Wang Huan, the only remaining Taiwei among the three princes, sat under Zhang Jian, followed by Tingwei Wang Wan, Zongzheng, Wu Wang Wei Xi, Weiwei, Fengchang and other nine ministers, followed by many people wearing An important civil and military official of the noble family.
Including the leaders of several other general factions in the army: Hancheng Hou Gu Chen, Dingyuan Hou Song Shang, Yubei Hou, Feilai Hou, etc.
Wang Huan didn't mince words and directly asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Scholar Zhang, I would like to know where the two princes and the queen are currently?"
Zhang Jian looked at everyone. As the situation changed, he knew that the civil and military officials could no longer sit still.
At this time, he really should show his own attitude!
Just smiled.
"The Queen and the two princes are now in Fengyang County. I will take the two princes back to Haojing City later!"
The old lieutenant's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Which prince does Academician Zhang think can inherit the throne?"
This is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about.
Zhang Jian looked at everyone and sighed secretly in his heart. He realized that from beginning to end, these court ministers had never doubted that he wanted to replace them.
It's more that he wants to be a powerful prime minister.
But this is better!
Zhang Jian's eyes flickered, and he muttered slightly before saying.
"Although the Queen is currently pregnant, she has no children. The smooth growth of the heir in her belly is still open to question. The remaining two princes are not from the middle palace. In your opinion, what should be done?"
Next to him, Wang Wan smiled and cupped his hands and said: "This matter still needs to be decided by the Grand Master. The Grand Master is the sage of our dynasty and the only true person in the country who governs the country. The two princes can only make decisions with the approval of the Grand Master." Overwhelm the country and suppress many rebellions!"
"Exactly, we all listen to the great bachelor!"
Several dignitaries nearby also hurriedly expressed their goodwill.
Everyone looked at him one after another. Zhang Jian thought for a while and said: "The eldest prince Wei Yuan is the eldest prince among all the princes. He is a young hero and a wise man who can be the emperor!"
A slight smile appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes.
In fact, neither of the two princes were British masters. After a month of observation, he would not be wrong about this. Although the eldest prince was older, he was intentionally or unintentionally excluded by the concubines in the imperial court because he was a maid. He was timid and suspicious, and had no Opinion.
The third prince, Wei Chengnai, is the daughter of Concubine Lande. This son is stubborn and domineering. If he succeeds to the throne, he will not be a blessing to the country.
In fact, anyone can recommend it!
Anyway, currently only one tool person needs to sit in that position!
But I heard a voice sounding out at this moment: "The eldest prince is cowardly and lacks authority. He has lost his dignity as a king. He may not be a wise master!"
