Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 119 Nishikawa
Moreover, the place to cross the river is Jialing City, and Jialing City is the main city of Jialing Province. If we can get the support of Jialing Province and send troops directly from Jialing Province, there is no need to wait for the army to cross the river, and the supporting troops can go ahead.
Jialing Province is the place where the Empress Dowager's family is entrenched, and they are extremely loyal to the emperor. As long as the emperor agrees, there will be basically no resistance. This is why Jiang Tainian needs the emperor's support to force the palace.
Half a month later, the army arrived at Jialingdu. What Jiang Tainian never expected was that Jialing Province had already sent people to greet them at the ferry, and the city defense garrison had already been assembled and could leave at any time.
This is actually quite normal. Jialing Province originally supported the Sixth Prince at the time. Now that the Sixth Prince has ascended the throne, they have no reason not to support him.
Furthermore, Jialing Province is one of the Five Elements Provinces in the West. Although it is the farthest away from Qixia Pass, once Qixia Pass is lost, they will eventually be involved in war.
At that time, Jiang Tiance had promised Jiang Meiliang that once war broke out, no matter what the court's attitude was, he would definitely lead the Jialing City defense army to support him.
After Jiang Tainian met with Jiang Tiance, he learned about the agreement between him and Jiang Meiliang. Without any doubts, he left the 300,000 troops he had brought with him and asked his deputy general to arrange the crossing of the river, and took over the garrison of Jialing Province.
Jiang Tiance has been prepared for a long time and has been expanding his army in preparation for war. Jialing Province is already rich and has strong military armor. He can mobilize 30,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 50,000 logistics supply troops.
Without any delay, Jiang Tainian led his army that day and headed straight for Qixia Pass. Seven days later, the army arrived in Xichuan Province.
Xichuan Province is the second largest province in the west, second only to Dingbian Province. Xichuan City is the capital of Xichuan Province. It has 80,000 permanent city defense troops. Including the garrisons in various prefectures, the number of troops that can be mobilized in an emergency can reach 200,000.
However, the Xichuan Province supports the prince.
Ten years have passed in a flash, and it has been sixty years since the Jianya Incident. Although you are still the same as before due to your cultivation, your mentality has long since matured, adding endless vicissitudes of life.
You don’t know what’s going on with your brother and sister-in-law now, but you know that they have never given up on hard training. You are now at the peak of the middle stage of Jindan cultivation and have become the number one master in the Tiangang Dynasty. Therefore, as brother
I am afraid that your sister-in-law's qualifications have already reached the legendary cultivation realm, so you are also getting anxious.
After ten years of secret investigation, you have basically searched through Donglai City, especially the Imperial City, which is almost three feet away. Although you still cannot find the exact information about Ye Bugui and his wife, you have not found nothing.
The first thing is that you have confirmed that they are not dead, and that they are somewhere in the imperial city. After your investigation, you have only three places left.
The first is the royal family temple, which is the mausoleum of the royal family and a place to worship ancestors. It is not only heavily guarded, but also a retreat place for emperors who have abdicated in the past dynasties. It can be said that there are many masters inside. According to your investigation, there are not only middle-level Dan realm, but also Dan realm
You have also felt the qi movement in the later period. You would not dare to break in if it were easy. This requires an opportunity.
The other place is the emperor's palace. You really can't find an excuse to explore there, but you know that there are definitely many secret rooms underground. You have already thought of a way to do this, and that is to let Yun Feiyang break through the golden palace as soon as possible.
Dan, as long as he ascends the throne, you will naturally become the queen, and it will be very easy to get a detection tool.
Of course, you don't have high hopes, because you think the chances here are slim, but on the contrary, the chances are much greater in the ancestral temple.
Of course, there is one place that you cannot explore, and that is the Imperial Preceptor's palace, but it is unlikely to be there, because you know very well that the Imperial Preceptor is a member of the Nie tribe, and they have been investigating the disappearance of Ye Bugui and his wife.
Obviously it can't be there.
You are already at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. My brother's qualifications are far from comparable to yours. I am afraid that his cultivation has reached an unimaginable level. He may be killed at any time. You must not let him be used by others. His parents
They came to threaten them, so they urgently needed to find Ye Bugui and his wife.
Judging from the current situation, the best way is to let Yun Feiyang succeed to the throne. In this way, it will be very simple to explore the emperor's palace. Moreover, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will also return to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. Ancestor worship is an extremely grand event and needs to be continued.
After three days, the queen will stay to serve the ancestors for one month, which will give her more opportunities to explore.
However, the emperor's intention is obviously to pass the throne to the prince Yun Jiansheng, because according to the long-standing rules of the royal family, as long as one of the princes is the first to form an elixir and break through to the golden elixir realm, the former emperor will abdicate within three years.
But now it has been five years since Yun Feiyang formed the elixir, and although Yun Jiansheng is already at the peak of foundation building, he has never been in seclusion to form the elixir. Obviously, he is still not ready. Of course, the news from the Prince's Mansion is that the prince and the princess are married.
The love is deep, the prince is waiting for the prince to reach the spiritual world point, and then they both retreat to form the elixir.
Moreover, the emperor also said that he was in his prime, not more than 200 years old, and wanted to wait until the country was more stable before he could reach Zen status. Anyone with a discerning eye would understand this excuse at a glance. Of course, more people would see it more deeply. It is precisely because you are too strong.
The royal family was worried that everyone would be left behind after Yun Feiyang succeeded to the throne.
This situation is obviously not conducive to your plan, so you can't just wait. You must actively create conditions. The best way is for the former emperor to die. Yun Feiyang, as the only Jindan prince, will inevitably ascend the throne. But with your cultivation
Because although it is easy to kill him, anyone can know that you killed him, so it is definitely not possible to kill him directly, so you must use a covert method so that no one will suspect you, and it is best not to do it at all.
The murderer could not be found.
The most covert method is naturally to poison him. Although it is difficult for him as an emperor and a golden elixir monk to poison him, it is not impossible, especially for some chronic poisons, which are difficult to detect over time.
It's just that as a monk, your daily diet is very sparse and extremely irregular. Unless you get along with someone day and night and absolutely trust someone, it is difficult to poison him for a long time. Of course, as a monk, there is also a best place to poison him, and that is pills.
medicine.
A monk will inevitably take a large amount of elixirs during his cultivation. If you can master the elixirs he takes for a long time, the success rate of poisoning the elixirs will be extremely high. And you are also very talented in the medicinal properties of elixirs and have always cultivated them.
You have a good habit of refining elixirs, so you started to make preparations in this area. You quickly identified three types of elixirs.
Yishou Dan, a medicine that increases longevity, is difficult to refine, especially because it is also effective for mortals, so the supply has always been in short supply, and friends often give it to each other as gifts.
Ningxue Dan is a cultivation elixir used by Golden Dan monks to improve their cultivation, but it is difficult to refine and very expensive.
