By the Chaohe River, ever since Bo Chang encountered Taoist Changkong and the two sides started a fierce battle in the sky, Young Master Yangsheng quietly brought his confidant Cheng Hu and a few others to the Chaohe River.
Relatively speaking, Young Master Yangsheng is still a little more humane. At least when he ran away, he knew to take his confidants with him.
At this moment, everyone was hiding in an inconspicuous boat by the Chao River, quietly waiting for the outcome of the battle. Of course, they did not do anything, using various methods similar to circular light magic and water mirror magic.
Spells were cast one after another, and the battle was watched with the help of spells.
However, the level of these spells is not high, so it is not possible to directly use spells to observe the frontal battlefield. However, there are more ways than problems. If the level is not high, and it is impossible to observe directly, then wait until Bo Chang and others leave a certain place, and then go
When observing a certain place, it is not necessary to obtain first-hand information in time, but second-hand information is fine!
If you directly observe Bo Chang and others, they will notice it, and the spell may be directly counterattacked.
But it would be no problem to wait until Bochang and others have left this place, then observe the battlefield, and use personal experience and combat wisdom to deduce the battle scenes at that time through the traces left on the battlefield.
"Look here, look at this trace, from deep to shallow, this is the Nanmingli Fire gradually extinguishing, so the combustion will show such characteristics."
"No results can be seen here. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is completely chaotic, like a mess. It is not clear what happened."
"Look, everything within a radius of dozens of miles has turned into dark clouds. Is this the third minister or Taoist priest? Where can you find so many masters in Yancheng?"
"Okay! As expected of a big shot from the capital, his strength is amazing. Look at this phoenix, it's so big and beautiful!"
"Hey, there's no trace!"
"There are no traces of the battle!"
"Where are the people?"
"Where have they all gone?"
"Who won?"
After a while, Jiachenghu came to Young Master Yangsheng and told him the inferred information: "Master, this is the situation. Now the senior has not shown up for half a quarter of an hour. We speculate that he may have encountered the enemy's plan.
, I don’t know whether I will live or die!”
"This senior may have been hiding somewhere quietly at the moment, healing his wounds in secret. He will not show up again until he has recovered from his injuries."
Hearing this, Young Master Yangsheng sighed directly: "Hey, I finally got the opportunity to do something, but I failed in the blink of an eye."
"No matter what the final result of this senior is, at least three Taoist priests have appeared in Yancheng. This kind of power is no longer something that a small army like ours can handle."
Jiachenghu was stunned for a moment. How could three Taoist priests be able to fight against an army of 70,000 people?
"Master, please leave quickly! As long as you cross the river, you will be safe."
Young Master Yangsheng seemed to be in a very low mood: "Please order the army to retreat in full."
"From now on, these five eastern counties will no longer belong to the Chao Kingdom."
"Let's negotiate with Yancheng. Let's evacuate the five eastern counties with our troops and leave everything here to them."
Jiachenghu directly frowned: "Sir, this is the responsibility of losing land. Once shouldered, it will be difficult to turn around in the future."
"Do you think there is anyone else besides me who can resist this responsibility?"
"Da Sima's holiday axe, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the five counties..."
"Sir, this is not a crime of war. It is better to directly use special channels and urgently contact the capital to request guidance!"
"At that time, if the capital requires us to hold on, we will have no choice but to hold on even if all our troops are exhausted."
And if the monarch demands to retreat, then the blame for the retreat cannot be thrown on Young Master Yangsheng's head.
Yang Sheng thought for a while: "I'm in a very confused mood at the moment. I don't have the time to deal with these things, so I'll leave them all to you."
With that said, Yang Sheng took out a seal. Jia Chenghu took the seal with both hands, bowed to Yang Sheng and left. Next, there are many things to deal with.
After Master Chenghu left, Yang Sheng closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the scenes of the previous battle. Human power could be so powerful. If he had such powerful strength, what was the point of power?
Can I also become that strong?
At this moment, Young Master Yangsheng's heart had quietly changed.
…
There were many experts who felt this decisive battle, so when Bo Chang disappeared, many people began to use innate calculations to deduce the outcome of this battle.
A moment later, these people almost all saw Jiang Hua holding the Taiyin Divine Sword in one hand and Bo Chang's head in the other through the secret. Looking at this scene, many people were silent.
Jiang Hua in Tianji is wearing yellow, silver, and white clothes. The Taiyin Divine Sword in his left hand is looming, appearing and disappearing, surrounded by a faint firelight, and Bo Chang's head held in his right hand is a
He looked like he was dead, with an unbelievable look on his face.
This scene revealed too much information!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How old is this kid? This has already been a breakthrough? He was only sixteen last year, how could it be possible for a seventeen-year-old Taoist priest..."
Hearing the Taoist's surprise, a monkey suddenly jumped out of the tree. This monkey was holding a large wine jar in its arms. The monkey didn't look very big when it was in the tree, but when it landed on the ground, its body was already eight feet tall, and its legs were as tall as two feet.
The length of the arms is far beyond that of ordinary people.
The monkey put the wine jar in his arms on the ground, scratched his head and said, "Why is it impossible?"
This monkey was originally a little demon who was good at brewing monkey wine. The monkey wine brewed by his tribe is a unique one. It is a spiritual wine and has excellent effects. When he was young, he was rescued by Jiang Hua when he was a child.
It can be regarded as a well-established monkey. In the past few months, the monkey has exchanged monkey wine and Taoists for a lot of good things. Now it shows up again, and it turns out to be a big monster.
Feeling the changes in the monkey, the Taoist exclaimed: "Yuan Ming, I remember your name is Yuan Ming. I haven't seen you for several months, and you have already made a breakthrough?"
"How normal is it? Nowadays, Yancheng is different every day. I exchanged the monkey wine stored in the clan and an old glutton for some good things. I returned to my ancestors and awakened my magical powers. Isn't this normal?"
"By the way, you haven't said yet, why is it impossible for a seventeen-year-old Taoist priest?"
The Taoist priest thought about Jiang Hua now, then looked at the monkey in front of him, and then thought about how he had only just seen the shadow of the Taoist priest after hundreds of years of hard work in cultivating Taoism, and he suddenly didn't want to talk.
"Hey, in short, this is really unbelievable. For a seventeen-year-old Taoist priest, under common sense, this is simply impossible!"
"There have been many seventeen-year-old ministers in history. The Emperor Zhou was already the first monarch when he was born. His family has deep blood and his parents are strong men. Even if he was the first monarch after he was born, he can understand this.
It’s still far away, even in contemporary times, there are many seventeen-year-old ministers. For example, the Xiang family of Chu State has a young genius, and I heard that he is now about to become the first generation monarch."
"Even if they were ordinary when they were born, they became prime ministers at the age of seventeen. There are many such geniuses in today's world."
"But most of these breakthroughs are based on bloodline. It is through the continuous breakthrough of bloodline that the cultivation level will be improved accordingly."
"These young ministers only need to tame the will of blood wholeheartedly. But we Qi Refiners are different. We need to understand every step we take, and we need real understanding!"
"From an alchemist to a warlock, one needs to understand at least one of the true meanings of the Five Elements."
"From a warlock to a Taoist priest, they need to first understand the five different true meanings of the five elements, and then the five elements can interact with each other. This is even more difficult."
"From Taoist priests to Taoist priests, they need to understand the Tao of Yin and Yang, but the Tao of Yin and Yang is too illusory. How can ordinary people understand it in their teens?"
Hearing this, Yuan Ming scratched his head again: "I have also read many books about Qi practitioners. I read that Kong Sheng was not a genius when he was young, but he continued to improve his bloodline through reading and learning.
Improve your strength and you will be the first generation monarch by the time you are thirty."
"And Mo Sheng was chased by evil forces all the way, and then fought back all the way. Opportunities and adventures never stopped."
"There is also Li Sheng. Many people speculate that he is the reincarnation of a strong man. They also say that he had innate spiritual roots that came to him shortly after he was born."
"There are many legends about Kong Sheng and Mo Sheng. Each one is more exaggerated than the last. Why don't you think it's impossible?"
"Before Li Sheng, who would have believed that a person without any blood in his body could become an innate immortal?"
"Before Kong Sheng, who would have believed that even ferocious beasts could be tamed again, regain their sanity, and become divine beasts?"
"Before Mo Sheng, who would have thought that the body of a Qi Refiner could be more powerful than that of a noble?"
"Now that the master has only made some small progress in his cultivation, you feel that you can't accept it? Is this because the master has made a breakthrough too fast, or is your vision too shallow?"
Hearing this, the Taoist smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I never expected that I, a man who is hundreds of years old, would be persuaded by a monkey today."
"Look, you are still stuck to the appearance of humans and monkeys, and your achievements in this life are just like this. No wonder you are hundreds of years old and still haven't been able to break through!"
Having said this, Yuan Ming picked up the wine jar on the ground and climbed directly into the tree, as if he didn't bother to continue communicating with people like Taoist.
After a while, Yuan Ming arrived near the prefect's mansion and climbed over the wall directly. The guards around him all knew Yuan Ming, so they did not stop him.
Arriving at the prefect's mansion, Yuan Ming waited quietly, and finally saw Jiang Hua returning at night.
"Master, give me a drink."
Jiang Hua looked at the big wine vat in front of him and took out a large bowl without noticing anything else. He scooped out a bowl for himself.
The spiritual wine in the large wine vat looks red, and some fruit stones can be seen inside. There are even lines on the fruit stones. The wine liquid on the upper layer is clear and transparent, and it looks bright red, but it is served in a bowl.
Then it turned into light red.
Jiang Hua smelled the aroma of the wine, closed his eyes and took a big sip: "Good wine!"
"This wine tastes sweet and soft, with a long aftertaste but not irritating."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately took out a writing brush and newly bought paper, and wrote down Jiang Hua's evaluation of Hou'er Wine in front of Jiang Hua.
After all, I gave Jiang Hua a big vat, I have to bring something back!
With Jiang Hua's evaluation, the next time the monkey wine is traded to those Taoists, the price will increase by at least 20%!
Yuan Ming felt a little embarrassed when he thought that the price had increased by 20% because of Jiang Hua's evaluation. His face was already red, and it became even redder after being embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ming pushed the vat of wine in front of him towards Jiang Hua: "Here, this vat of wine belongs to you!"
Jiang Hua didn't refuse, nodded directly, and then took another big sip for himself. This stuff was much better than boiled water.
"Master, I heard that many people are surprised by your cultivation. Why do you suddenly want to show your cultivation? Are you doing something big?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "Indeed, we are currently preparing to become an independent lord."
"In today's world, there are princes, large and small, and the founding monarchs of these princes are all first-generation monarchs, comparable to the existence of the divine beasts of heaven and earth."
"But as time goes by, some small country princes cannot even maintain their status as small princes, and the land has also changed from hundreds of counties at the beginning of the country to three or five counties. At this time, if you still call yourself princes, you will be in trouble.
When a person laughs, he slowly degrades to the status of a feudal lord."
"In addition, there are many first-generation princes who are loyal to a certain great prince. For example, the families of the rulers of Jin State basically all have first-generation monarchs. The families of these rulers are basically all feudal lords, and their status is
Higher than the prime minister."
"Today's Yancheng has a lot of land. There are five counties that have been developed on Dongning Island. Yancheng itself can be regarded as one county, so there are six counties."
"The five counties east of Chaohe are now in Yancheng's mouth. It's just a matter of when to eat them. Once they are eaten, Yancheng will have eleven counties."
"This much territory is enough for me to become a lord."
"After I become an independent lord, those who follow me will also be able to get promoted and make a fortune. I can also take this opportunity to show my determination to fight against Chao Kingdom to the end."
Before becoming a lord, there was still the possibility of peace talks, but after becoming a lord, this possibility was completely cut off.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "There is indeed such a thing. If you are willing, you can try it."
"What's going on?"
"drink wine!"
"drink wine?"
"Yes, just drinking!"
"Monkey wine itself is a creation of chance. You monkeys store different types of fruits in special tree holes. After fermentation over time, you finally brew a small amount of fine wine. This is the so-called monkey wine.
"
"Nowadays, you are best at making wine. The monkey wine you brew is famous for its high quality among spiritual wines."
"So, I plan to hire you to open a winery and specialize in how to brew monkey wine on a large scale. Even if the quality is lower, as long as the output can be increased."
"How does this help you?" Yuan Ming scratched his head and asked curiously.
Jiang Hua looked at Yuan Ming and said casually: "This is an attempt and a beginning. I always feel that every goblin is a misplaced master..."
