Chapter 427 Hee, Junior Brother Jiang is here to help?
Jiang Yao and Qin Yu communicated with each other without any trace, with a hidden look and a knowing smile.
By doing this, the strength of the Ming army will skyrocket, and it will soon become the strongest army in the Western Region.
The freshly baked Jiang Shengzi burned several fires and worked for a whole day before announcing the adjournment of the meeting.
Then, Jiang Yao came to Yisheng Cave to meet Shi Xu.
He knew that Yisheng must have something to say to him.
"Master." Jiang Yao called Shizun when he saw Shi Xu.
Shi Xu looked at Jiang Yao with approval, "Zhongda, you are very good, you and I imagined you to be even better."
Obviously, she already knew what Jiang Yao did after becoming the Holy Son.
Her eyes were always calm and calm, but now they were filled with worry.
"My master is going back to Ghost Wilderness. I won't return to Shenzhou for at least a few years. I can't help you with anything."
"How is your practice in "So Close to the End" going?"
Jiang Yao replied: "I have cultivated to the intermediate level and can teleport thousands of miles..."
Yisheng nodded, "Okay, it's enough to escape."
She showed a hint of sadness, "I can no longer change the depravity of the divine religion. From now on, everything depends on you. If you think it is right, just do it. I am powerless to change many things. I can only put my hope in you and Yan
On my son."
She was very disappointed with the divine religion, but she still had a glimmer of hope. This glimmer of hope was brought to her by Jiang Yao.
When Yi Sheng said this, his energy and blood suddenly fluctuated, and his face turned pale.
Slowly, an illusory figure appeared beside her, carrying majestic magic power.
Shi Xu said: "You and I can be considered masters and disciples. When we say goodbye, I will give you a protective shadow."
After saying a trick, the figure immediately disappeared into Jiang Yao's spirit.
"Thank you, Master." Jiang Yao was very happy. This was the guardian figure of the powerful Mahayana man, and it could definitely save his life at the critical moment.
But when he raised his head, Shi Xu had disappeared.
It's like it's never been here.
"Master, take care." Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel melancholy.
He didn't expect that Shi Xu just said these few words, sent out a protective shadow, and left.
Next time, I don’t know when we can see you again.
In fact, Xi Sheng and the other three people also left the main altar and went back to their respective dojos. This main altar was just a temporary meeting place.
Not long after Jiang Yao returned to Shengzi Mansion, he received a flying message from Yue Anshi, the Yue Clan in the Southern Territory: "Junior Brother Zhongda, the resources Pankang sent you have arrived at Yue Clan, and you still need to hand them over in person..."
Pankang's resources have been sent to Yuexi!
The ginger medicine refreshes the spirit and brings about timely rain.
Although he has allocated 10 billion worth of resources from the divine treasury, there is only so much. If there is more, he will have no authority and must agree with the saint.
These 10 billion resources are still far from enough.
Especially for war preparation materials such as war horses, even the divine religion does not have them, so we can only rely on Pankang.
"Zizhou, I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go to the Southern Region first. Panchu's support has arrived." Jiang Yao told Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's eyes lit up, "Okay, we came at the right time. Our army is short of horses and armor. However, is it reliable to cross the clan? Is it possible to deduct resources or even be detrimental to the lord? They are super martial arts clans."
Jiang Yao smiled confidently, "Don't worry, absolutely not. This batch of aid is a lot of money for my little Ming Kingdom, but the overlord is the overlord of the Southern Territory, so I really won't care."
"Besides, the Yue clan are allies of Panchu and enemies of the Qing. Although they are martial clans, they are more concerned about the threat of the Qing army. At least they are our allies for the time being."
Qin Yu said: "In this case, my lord, please rest assured. I will handle the affairs of the divine religion and the court properly."
Jiang Yao took out a few medicinal classics and said, "With brother Zizhou helping me, there is no need to worry about the big thing happening. This is the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia", which should be of benefit to Zi Zhou."
In fact, Qin Yu is already a medicine sage, and the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia" has limited effect on him.
But it can still help Qin Yu quickly be promoted to the Second Cauldron of Medicine Saint.
Qin Yu could not have imagined that the complete "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia" would be in the hands of his lord. Although he was already a medicine sage, "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia" was still the treasure he dreamed of.
It can definitely be improved by one tripod, or even two tripods!
What moved him even more was that Jiang Yao was willing to share the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia". If he was less generous, he would definitely not be willing.
You really are with the right person.
Jiang Yao suddenly smiled and said: "Zizhou, before Mei Mei died, she begged me to bury her. I agreed, so you have nothing to say?"
Qin Yu touched his nose, "This...I really have nothing to say. I have always regarded her as a maid. She is passionate and wishful thinking, but I have never taken her seriously."
"My lord is so majestic and magnanimous that I cannot match him. If I and my lord change places, it would be the limit for me not to kill her with my own hands. How can I still bury her?"
His words were very candid: "But to put it in a nutshell, this is the kind of person my lord is. If my lord was not such a person, I would not dare to serve my lord, let alone repay him honestly."
"For the same thing, the lord can forgive, but the minister cannot. The lord can forgive, but the minister cannot. This may be the reason why the lord is the lord, and the reason why the minister is the minister."
Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Zizhou's words are impeccable, but I am speechless."
…
When Jiang Yao returned to Lotte City in the Ming Dynasty, he first found Jiang Cai.
At this time, Jiang Cai was already a master in the late Wuzhen period, and at her age, she was definitely a genius monk.
Over the years, she has been enjoying herself in the Ming Kingdom, making the best use of her resources. She is also in a happy mood. Her aptitude and understanding have been improved by Taiyin Nether Lotus Root and All Wisdom Fruits, and her cultivation speed is very fast.
"Sister, there is something I think I should tell you." Jiang Yao said as soon as they met.
"Xiaoyao, is it related to...them?" Jiang Cai frowned, and her bright eyes couldn't help but dim.
She was very smart, and she could guess what was going on by looking at Jiang Yao's expression.
Jiang Yao nodded, "Sister, Mei Mei is dead, and her body is in my ring. She begged me before she died, hoping that I would bury her in the small courtyard where she lived..."
Jiang Yao gave a general explanation of Mei Mei's death.
Jiang Cai showed a sad look, and her eye circles immediately turned red, "She is still, still..."
As I spoke, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Although Mei Mei deserved the punishment and brought it upon herself, after all, she had been with him for more than ten years and was a playmate who grew up together.
Since she was six years old, she has been with him and loved her sisters.
Let alone a friend who grew up together, even if it is a dog or a tree, it will not be without feelings for more than ten years.
Why wasn't Jiang Cai sad when he heard the news of Mei Mei's death?
Jiang Yao was not surprised to see Jiang Cai shed tears sadly. Sister A was always a soft-hearted and affectionate person.
"Xiao Yao, since you agreed to bury her, take me home to see her. I miss her a lot after not seeing her for so many years," Jiang Cai said.
"I knew Sister wanted to go back and have a look." Jiang Yao nodded, "Then let's go together."
The ginger medicine inspired the Pisces Jade Pendant to go to the Southern Region, and left with Jiang Cai.
He did not go directly to Yuexi, but went to Lishan County first.
Back to that farmhouse in the mortal countryside.
The small courtyard where the Jiang family and Mei Mei lived back then was not completely deserted. It seemed that someone had taken care of it not long ago.
Compared with the desolate appearance before, it is much better.
Many places have even been restored to their original state.
For example, the stone bench under the mulberry tree in Mei Mei Courtyard, and the windlass well in Jiang Family Courtyard.
Seeing the windlass well, Jiang Yao and Jiang Cai couldn't help but think of their "mother" Wei Rong washing clothes here when they were children.
"Mei Mei must have come back to clean up before." Jiang Cai guessed it immediately.
Jiang Yao nodded, "She seems to have come back twice. The last time should not have been more than a year."
He found that the two small courtyards had been cleaned inside and out. Although they were deserted, they were not buried by weeds and thorns.
Jiang Cai looked at the familiar small courtyard in front of her, "I was brought here from the Central Region when I was six years old, and I have lived here for seventeen years."
Guyun
In these seventeen years, she grew from a little girl to an adult woman.
"Meimei was less than six years old at the time, and you were two years old at the time. I have no impression of my family or my parents, but I have a deep impression of this place."
Jiang Cai walked to her boudoir, looked at the dressing table, and said with tears, "Meimei is very careful. My comb is kept in its place."
Jiang Yao came to her house and found that it had been tidied up and there was a dried garland hanging on the wall.
It looked like the wreath was made by Mei Mei. Her hands were very skillful. It looked like it was last year's wreath.
Sure enough, she came once last year.
He has lived in this room for ten years.
The two of them went to Mei Mei's small courtyard next door.
The mulberry tree planted by the two people has become as tall as a canopy.
The stone bench under the mulberry tree has long since grown moss and is covered with dead branches and leaves.
The sun shines through the mulberry trees and onto the stone bench, creating mottled shadows. In a daze, Jiang Yao seemed to see a young man sitting on the stone bench, with a girl behind him tying his hair.
"Let's bury it here." Jiang Yao said softly, calling out Mei Mei's body from the ring.
When Jiang Cai saw Mei Mei's body, her expression became even more sad. She couldn't help but touch Mei Mei's hand, which was cold.
"Meimei, we haven't seen each other for many years. When I see you today, you have been dead for a long time..." Jiang Cai said, "Your hands are very cold."
She took a deep look at Mei Mei, as if she wanted to remember this face firmly.
The two siblings quickly dug a grave under the mulberry tree. Jiang Yao took out the sarcophagus that had been prepared and placed Mei Mei's body in it.
Then pile the soil on top.
Soon, a small new tomb appeared.
There is no monument to be erected, and there is no need to erect a monument.
Jiang Yao only carved a few lines of words on the bluestone nearby:
"Looking back on the seventeen years in the mountain village, how can I ask the blue sky about the past? I endured the thorns and grew up in a quiet house, and lived alone in the deserted graves to sleep under the moon."
This poem is dedicated to Mei Mei.
In this way, Mei Mei once again returned to the mountain village where she grew up and the small courtyard where she grew up.
"Xiao Yao..." Jiang Cai looked at the small new grave, saw the words written by Jiang Yao, and couldn't help but throw herself into Jiang Yao's arms.
"Mei Mei is not a good person, but I am still very sad, really sad...Qiao clan is not my home, and Mei clan is not Mei Mei's home, this is..."
Her real name is Qiao Cai, but she has always been called Jiang Cai.
And the so-called Mei clan, Deng clan, and Wei clan have all disappeared.
"Sister, I know, I understand." Jiang Yao patted this sister on the back. Although he didn't shed any more tears, he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.
It's not because of Mei Mei, it's because of the past of this place.
The father is from the family, the mother is a fake, the fiancée is a fake, but this family... the difficulty is also completely fake?
If even this family is completely fake, then how did he grow up?
Jiang Cai wiped away her tears and sat on the stone bench, "Back then, after you learned the truth and ran away, the three of them knew that they could not communicate with each other and would definitely be punished by the family, so they were all very scared."
"The reaction of the three people was both fear and relief. I guess deep down in their hearts, they may also have some hope that you can escape."
Jiang Yao nodded, he did not doubt Jiang Cai's words.
He actually knew very well that after he escaped, the three of them were shocked and angry, but this anger was due to the fear of being severely punished by the family if the mission failed.
But after learning that they had escaped, they must have been somewhat relieved deep in their hearts.
This is where human nature is complicated. If you say you don’t have any real feelings at all, it would be against human nature.
For example, Wei Rong, like a farm mother, cooks, feeds chickens, washes clothes, and grows vegetables every day. Although they are all acting, can she survive seventeen years entirely by acting?
How boring would it be to be able to act day and night for seventeen years and raise a child in the mortal world?
It goes against common sense.
The real reason is that they have entered into life.
It was really just acting at first, so I wasn't used to it, but as time went by, I integrated into human life and it was no longer just acting.
This can explain why they can make a fake home so realistic. Because that is beyond the scope of acting.
True and false, unreal and real, have become entangled.
"Sister, let's go. If you want to come back for a visit in the future, we'll come back," Jiang Yao comforted.
Jiang Cai shook his head, "This is the last time, I can't come back. It won't be long before this place becomes a wilderness."
She knelt down and gave Meimei a handful of dirt with her own hands, "Meimei, I'm leaving, and you will be the only one from now on..."
…
Outside the palace of Yue Clan Juncheng, a young man and woman came today.
The young man is holding a snake staff and looks handsome. The young girl is fairy-like and has a gentle expression.
They are really siblings Jiang Yao and Jiang Cai.
"Mr. Longcheng, the young master is not in the palace, but went to Longshan Camp yesterday." The guard outside the palace gate said.
Yue Anshi is not in Yue Palace?
Well, she probably didn't expect that she would come so quickly.
"Is Madam Li Xi in the palace?" Jiang Yao asked again.
Even if Yue Anshi is away, Li Xi should be able to hand over resources.
He knew that Li Xi had organized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Central Region before, and went to the Southern Region to unite with Yue Anshi and form an alliance with Pankang to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
She has not been in the Central Region for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the guard shook his head again, "Master Jiang and Fairy Xi are also at the Longshan camp. Now Longshan is in a tight situation, and neither the young master nor Fairy Xi dare to leave the front line."
Jiang Yao's heart tightened when he heard this. Is the front line in trouble?
Longshan is the most important line of defense on the border with Vietnam, not far from the heart of the Southern Territory.
If Longshan is lost, is it possible for the Qing army to enter the pass and invade the southern region?
"Sister, let's go to Longshan Camp!" Jiang Yao made a decision immediately.
One is to accept the resources sent by Pankang, and the other is to take a look at the Longshan defense line.
As Jiang Yao and Jiang Cai went south, the cities they passed seemed to be filled with panic. Many people rumored that the Qing army continued to increase its troops in Longshan, and Longshan might not be safe.
Jiang Yao had never been to Longshan, so he could not use the jade pendant to teleport there, so he had to take a spaceship. Fortunately, his spaceship was very fast, and after a few days, he finally saw a huge mountain range towering into the void, like a divine dragon.
Longshan Mountain is thousands of miles high and winds for millions of miles. It is actually one of the boundaries between the Divine Continent and the Witch Realm.
The most important pass in the Longshan Mountains is Longcheng Pass.
At this time, Longcheng Pass was majestic and murderous, with flags like a forest and soldiers and horses everywhere.
Jiang Yao sent a flying message to Yue Anshi, and soon the two female generals came out of the city to greet him in person.
Of these two female generals, the first one is tall and heroic, and she is the head coach of the Vietnamese army: Yue Anshi.
Not seen for several years, Yue Anshi was already at the first level of Martial Saint.
Another female general, with a sweet smile and a hint of heroism, was Li Xi.
Li Xi's cultivation level turned out to be in the early stage of martial arts.
It seems that she has been fighting on the front lines and fighting in battles in recent years, and it has not been without gains.
The two female generals were both dressed in gorgeous battle armor and came with swords clanging. When they saw Jiang Yao, they both showed joy.
"Junior brother Jiang, why did you come to Longguan?" Yue Anshi was somewhat surprised.
Li Xi smiled and said: "Hey, Junior Brother Jiang, did you learn that Longguan was in a tight situation and came to help in the battle?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yao suddenly became a little nervous.
I'm not here to help, I'm here to get money.
You wouldn't... wouldn't have misappropriated the assistance Pankang gave me, would you?
