The moonlight poured down on the road like flowing water, and the thin white mist fluttered and was suddenly pushed out of a hole.
Jiang Li walked through the mist and walked leisurely on the lakeside path. The noise in Tiezhu Temple was gradually fading away, which also meant that his whereabouts were gradually becoming a mystery.
"In this way, in the eyes of others, I have been disturbed and may even have been injured. Now I am looking for a place to meditate." Jiang Li talked on the phone with his master while walking.
Escape tonight was part of Jiang Li's plan. Even if someone unexpected like Bu Yusheng hadn't appeared, he would have found an opportunity to show off his flaws and create a situation where he would lose.
Only in this way could the fourth prince be so focused that he lost his guard and was succeeded by Jiang Li.
"It's so cunning to use such tricks even though you are stronger than the other party." Tianxuan's voice sounded leisurely.
"I can't help it. Why don't my sect not give me some support?" Jiang Li exclaimed, "I can only resort to some tricks on my own."
"Then let's go as a teacher?" Tianxuan said.
As he spoke, the light on the hosta that bound his hair gradually dimmed, as if Tianxuan was about to disconnect.
"But having Master here is better than any support." Jiang Li said loudly.
"The master is willing to take care of the safety of the disciple, which makes the disciple burst into tears of gratitude. Having a master like this will make you lucky for the rest of your life."
With Tianxuan looking at him like this day and night, it would be difficult for Jiang Li to think of anything wrong. And if the sect came to support him like this, Jiang Li would really have a hard time. In that case, it would be difficult for him to operate on both fronts.
"Smooth talk." Tianxuan said lightly.
Having said that, the stream of light on the hosta has stabilized.
After walking for a while, the fog gradually opened, and the bright moonlight shone on a figure in front, reflecting the white color of snow and frost.
The man was dressed in white, with perfect facial features and a good temperament. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary person. He should be walking out of the forest. Although he had the true energy with him, the moisture around him was still a little heavy.
When Jiang Li saw the other party, the other party also saw Jiang Li.
"Where did Brother Zhong come from?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
This person is none other than Zhong Shenxiu, whom I met in Yongzhou.
Zhong Shenxiu's handsome face evoked a smile, and he replied to Jiang Li quite familiarly: "I just came from near Tiezhu Temple."
"Watching the excitement?"
"Watch the excitement."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Zhong is here a little late. You can come here during the day to fight with me and discuss things. There are too many people idle at night, and it's not elegant."
"Zhong has no intention of fighting, he only wants to watch the fun," Zhong Shenxiu smiled and asked, "But Mr. Jiang, where are you going?"
After walking along this road for more than ten miles, we arrived near Taixue. There were quite a few sights along the way, but from the look of Jiang Li, it didn't look like he was going to see the sights.
"That's exactly where we're going."
Jiang Li pointed to his feet, "I came here especially to thank Brother Zhong."
"Some trivial things are not worth mentioning." Zhong Shenxiu shook his head.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Jiang Li said: "Please."
"please."
With a nod, Zhong Shenxiu walked straight away under the moonlight.
"This man is quite a gentleman." Tianxuan said while watching this scene.
The news of Jiang Li's appointment to fight Yuan Zhen has long spread throughout Shendu. As a contemporary leader of the Shendu Taixue, Zhong Shenxiu will definitely not know about it, but he has always been coming to Tiezhu Temple to visit.
This was because Zhong Shenxiu did not want to disturb Jiang Li's preparations for the war.
And tonight he came to Tiezhu Temple, not to make trouble at night, but to watch the excitement as he said. In addition, he helped Jiang Li get rid of some troublesome guys. If Jiang Li really showed up under Bu Yusheng's attack,
If it doesn’t work, you might see the Gwu Dao reappear.
It was obvious that there was no friendship between the two parties, but Zhong Shenxiu did it to this extent. Maybe it was for a rival, maybe it was for someone else. Regardless, Jiang Li had to say thank you.
Just as Tianxuan said, this man is a gentleman.
"But the more gentleman you are, the more terrifying you are." Jiang Li said softly.
Zhong Shenxiu is so consistent with the Confucian Tao and Fruit that even if he does not have the Unique Tao and Fruit in his body, his strength may not be weaker than that of someone who has the Unique Tao and Fruit.
At least even if Ji Chengye is still alive and plays the champion Hou Daoguo perfectly in the future, he will definitely not be Zhong Shenxiu's opponent.
In Jiang Li's eyes, Zhong Shenxiu's achievements would definitely not be inferior to Zhang Daoyi's, who had practiced the Nine Heavens' True Demonic Art.
After saying goodbye to Zhong Shenxiu, Jiang Li planned to take a different route and leave Longyuan Lake.
"Master, who is the most likely prince in this dynasty to inherit the throne?" Jiang Li asked.
"Are you going to find him?" Tianxuan asked.
"Yes, we have to find some trouble for the Fourth Prince so that he can live in peace and harmony."
Jiang Li looked back at Tiezhu Temple and said softly: "At least, wait until Yuan Zhen is killed..."
After killing Yuan Zhen, it was the fourth prince's turn.
How can a lawless man live up to his name if he doesn't do what a lawless maniac should do?
It can even be said that the reason for taking this name and making this vest is to kill people. But the original plan was to kill Nan Tiansi, but the current plan is to kill a prince.
"Then he is naturally the second prince."
When Jiang Li heard the answer, his figure flashed and disappeared into the light mist.
"Disappear invisible."
Zhong Shenxiu, who had already left far away, sensed Jiang Li's sudden disappearance and stopped, "Dinghu sect Jiang Li, this person's ability to change the way is really amazing."
Tonight, he did not take action, and even his energy was completely restrained, without any leakage. However, Jiang Li noticed him and met him like a prophet.
Just as he was walking out of the woods, Jiang Li also arrived.
Such attainments in Yi Dao are undoubtedly among the best among the peers Zhong Shenxiu has seen. Even the great disciple of the Dinghu Sect is not as good as Jiang Li.
"He will be a good opponent..."
He took another step and disappeared into the night.
······
······
The next day, the twenty-fourth of the eighth month, the year of Guimao, the month of Renxu, the day of Jihai, there was a cold dew.
According to the solar terms, today has reached the penultimate solar term of autumn. Cold dew, cold dew condenses, and there should be the appearance of cold air and frost in the early morning. However, even the gods have never seen white dew, so the so-called cold dew naturally does not exist.
will exist.
The streets in the outer city are full of people wearing thin shirts. The weather in spring is the most pleasant, making the streets more lively than at this time in previous years.
The second prince gently opened the window of the carriage and saw the crowds of people coming and going outside. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a grand occasion."
The streets in the outer city are the most lively, with people coming and going, and people rubbing shoulders one after another, which shows the scene of the prosperous age, especially the clothes of the people in the capital. Although there are some simple people, there are no people in ragged clothes, let alone beggars. It can be seen that
The prosperity of the divine city.
"Actually, this is because Mr. Shen, who is in charge of the outer city, is kind-hearted and doesn't like beggars, so those in ragged clothes are not allowed to enter the city."
A clear and strange voice suddenly sounded outside the car window, and a gray mist swam in along the opened gap, forming a vague human shape in front of the second prince.
The rhythm of the carriage moving at a constant speed changed instantly, and a sharp and condensed energy was like a sword, facing the human figure through the door, as if it might come in at any time.
The second prince, on the other hand, showed no signs of nervousness. Instead, he looked at the vague human figure calmly and replied: "If this is the case, then we need to investigate it carefully. This person is also very kind-hearted and cannot tolerate people who treat the people harshly."
.”
He is calm and unhurried, with a demeanor that does not change even if the mountain collapses before him. I have to admit that this second prince has the air of a king.
"The second prince is not afraid of assassination?" The vague human figure tilted his head slightly, as if he was a little confused.
"You can't even kill the fourth child, how can you kill the lonely one?"
The second prince laughed, showing his confidence.
The most promising prince of the Zhou Dynasty looks to be about forty years old, with a light beard. His facial features are similar to those of the fourth prince, but he is not as leisurely and comfortable as the fourth prince. Instead, he has the aura of having been in power for a long time.
Majesty and momentum.
He does have the confidence to be confident. When he was young, he once dressed as a white dragon fish and traveled around Kyushu. As a prince, he risked his own life and still lived well until now. As a result, he gained a lot of experience and was promoted all the way. As early as ten years ago,
It was already at level five years ago.
Among the current princes, he is the most likely to be promoted to the fourth rank.
Once promoted to the fourth level, there is a foundation to carry the Emperor's Path and Fruit. Even if the Path and Fruit is not performed perfectly, it can still accommodate the Emperor's Path and Fruit after the Emperor's death.
Therefore, he is the prince most likely to inherit the throne of emperor.
‘But even so, isn’t this too confident?’ Outside the simple carriage, a butterfly was trying to roll its eyes.
Jiang Li originally planned to call out someone who could represent the second prince, but he didn't expect that this person actually took action in person, which really made Jiang Li see his confidence.
He is worthy of being someone who can do such a death-defying act as wearing a white dragon fish suit.
"Tell me, what do you know? Dare you say that the fourth child can threaten Gu." The second prince, Ji Chengji, leaned forward slightly, like a dragon crouching and a tiger sitting, majestic.
"I specially took the time to see you. I hope you won't let me down."
"This is what I should say," the vague human figure said with a chuckle, "I hope the second prince will not disappoint me."
He made a posture of sitting cross-legged and said calmly: "First of all, let's talk about the Fourth Prince's current Dao Fruit, the Fourth Prince Ji Chengyuan. He accommodates the Three Corpses Divine Dao Fruit. This Dao Fruit should be familiar to the Second Prince, right?"
"The three-corpse divine fruit of the Jiang family in Yun County?" The second prince showed a hint of solemnity.
The Three Corpse Shinto Fruit can stir up evil thoughts in people's hearts, which is a great weapon in the intrigues of the court. But what really made him solemn was that after the Jiang family in Yun County was wiped out, Nan Tiansi also went to the scene to investigate.
After all, this matter was discovered within the city of God.
The fact that the fourth prince, a prince who showed no intention to exert power and had hidden himself for many years, was able to mobilize people to destroy the Jiang family in Yun County should not be underestimated. And Nan Tiansi had to be suspicious when he concluded that the result was caused by a demon cultivator.
This means that someone in the Nantian Division may have become the fourth prince's son.
"The key thing is how many people the fourth prince develops through the Three Corpses Divine Dao Fruit." Jiang Li said slowly.
