In the stone chamber, the black figure was obviously a little surprised. He paused and said, "I see... Jiang Wang is someone else's chess piece."
The voice in the hollow said: "So the more genius he is, the more interesting he is. The faster he grows, the more he will endanger Jiang Shu in the future."
The shadow said: "Then, you don't have to worry about him in the future?"
“No, we should still target him if we have the opportunity, just don’t really kill him.” The voice in the hollow said: “We attack him to help him, to help him go one step further and win Jiang Shu’s trust.”
“...I know.” The black shadow said.
“That’s it, you should be quiet for a while and don’t attract attention.” The voice in the hollow said.
Then in the hollow of the stone plate, the whining wind sounded again.
There was silence in the stone room.
…
…
Northern grasslands.
This grassland is the place where the grass is the most luxuriant, where the wind and rain are the gentlest, where the cattle and sheep are the fattest...
There is no better place than the foot of Qionglu Mountain, which is known as the “Pasture of God”.
The powerful empire that now dominates the entire grassland first stepped out from the foot of this mountain.
Under the guidance of the great Cangtu God, it developed from a small tribe of a few hundred people into a large animal husbandry empire that could compete with the world's powerful nations.
There are millions of people who control the strings, and wherever the horses’ hooves tread, they all bow their heads.
When the children of the grassland look towards Qionglu Mountain with their pilgrim eyes, they see the great miracles of this world and the destination of life.
This mountain uses the sky as its roof. Except for the sky, there is nothing that can cover its head, so it is called "the sky roof".
It is also the one that supports the sky and gives the children of the grassland a "home".
The spiritual sustenance of the entire grassland is the Cangtu Temple, which is built on the top of Qionglu Mountain.
For thousands of years, I have overlooked the vast grassland and watched the fate of life and death.
And the supreme royal court of this grassland is where the royal tent of the Queen of the Shepherd Kingdom is stationed, next to the greatest treasure in the world, the great "Mirror of the Sky".
This freshwater lake as wide as the sea is like a mirror embedded in the boundless grassland.
According to legend, it is a magical mirror used by the prairie goddess to look at herself.
In the mythology of the pastoral country, the "goddess of the grassland" is the original envoy of Cangtu. She spreads the will of the gods, saves the world, and brings good news to the grassland.
When the grassland goddess returned to the divine kingdom of Cangtu God, she left this mirror on the grassland to reflect the world. As the largest lake on the grassland, the Sky Mirror has indeed nurtured countless cattle and sheep, allowing the children of the grassland to thrive.
If the grassland is divided into east and west parts, Qionglu Mountain is at the center of the western grassland and Tianzhijing is at the center of the eastern grassland.
In the earliest times, the Supreme Royal Court was at the foot of Qionglu Mountain.
As the Great Mu Empire unified the grasslands, the Supreme Royal Court also continued to move, eventually settling next to the "Mirror of the Sky".
Different from what outsiders imagine...
Not all herders sleep on their horses.
The tents where they rested daily were not the same as the simple tents used during the march.
The tents stretched over a long period of time. They had different characteristics of each tribe and were neatly planned.
Different areas carry different functions and coexist harmoniously. Compared with pavilions and pavilions, they have a different style.
This is the city most suitable for the grasslands. Even in terms of luxury, the Supreme Royal Court is not inferior to the capital of any country.
Of course there are differences.
The Supreme Court with "divine power" can move as a whole.
The Supreme Court, also known as the "City of Eagles".
meaning, a city that can fly.
For most countries in the world, relocation is an event of great political significance and rarely occurs.
It is different on the grassland. The "migration" of the Supreme Court occurs more frequently. Only in recent years has it slowly settled next to the Mirror of the Sky.
There are also "sellers" on the grassland.
Usually, five horses are driven to travel around. Two horses carry goods, one carries people, and the two take turns to rest. Therefore, they are also called "five-horse riders".
They are "guests" on the grassland, bringing various goods to the herdsmen grazing in different places, and they also hope to receive warm hospitality from their hosts.
At this moment, in the marginal tent of the Supreme Court, next to a five-horse passenger who had almost sold out all his goods, a hooded man walked over.
The scarves have been piled extremely high, almost covering most of his face, but an accidental glance still makes people feel amazing.
This five-horse passenger has very little cargo on his back, and there is little room for selection.
But those who come are still picky and picky.
The conversation takes place only in the ears of both parties.
“How is Brother Tiger?” the hooded man asked.
Wuma Ke said: "He seems to be very trusted now. The previous commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia died of a recurrence of an old injury. He is likely to be the next one."
"It shouldn't be like this..." The hooded man thought for a moment and then said: "There must be some hidden reason behind the death of the previous commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia."
Wuma Ke said: "There must be something fishy, but I don't have time to investigate in detail. In short, Zhuang Ting will definitely not do anything to him now, and he himself may not be willing to leave. If I kidnap someone by force, Du Ruhui will definitely catch up.
."
“It’s enough that he’s okay, the rest is not that important.” The hooded man nodded: “Let it go for now, and we’ll talk about everything after the Yellow River meeting.”
“Going to the Yellow River Meeting is still too risky, I don’t agree with it,” Wu Ma Ke said.
"Uncle Deng." The hooded man said, "As soon as there is news about Third Brother, I will go and take a look."
The hooded man who spoke was, of course, Zhao Rucheng.
The person who is called Uncle Deng is naturally Deng Yue, who is also known as "one finger breaks the river".
Du Yehu was able to think of something wrong with Maplewood City through Jiang Wang's current situation. Jiang Wang could think that Du Yehu would be in danger after he became famous in the world.
Zhao Rucheng, who is smarter than both of them, will certainly not lose sight of his considerations.
It's just that manpower is sometimes poor. Although Deng Yue is strong, it is difficult to restore the truth outside the Zhuang Palace alone. He can only tell Zhao Rucheng the current situation he sees.
Deng Yue, who was disguised as a five-horse guest in the Supreme Court, said: "Since we know that he is in Qi and living well, we can wait until the Yellow River Meeting is over before going to see him."
"Can you imagine? Coming out of a small place like Maplewood City, with no background, no teachers, and no one to rely on... In the end, you can become the number one in the inner palace of the younger generation of Qi State, and represent Qi State in the Battle of the Yellow River.
Yes. Can you imagine what he went through? The fact that he has come to this point just shows that he is not living a very good life."
Zhao Rucheng said: "I can't wait any longer. I can't wait even for a moment. If he can win the world, there should be a few old friends to witness his glory! I went there wearing a mask, and I just watched... without being discovered.
of."
Deng Yue was silent for a while. Since going deep into the desert, Zhao Rucheng has seldom spoken in such long paragraphs.
This reflects his complex emotions.
“The meeting on the Yellow River...” Deng Yue sighed.
"Don't follow me this time." Zhao Rucheng said, "Just stay on the grassland and find a place to rest. After I have seen it and come back, we will decide the next step."
There are many people on the Yellow River, and there are many strong people gathered here. He is among the troops of the Mu Kingdom, and with the cover of Yuwen Duo, there will be no problem.
For a strong man like Deng Yue, it was difficult to hide his identity. Going to the Yellow River meeting would be dangerous.
"You have an idea." Deng Yue looked at him and said deliberately: "Since Jiang Wang is still alive, can you go down again?"
Zhao Rucheng shook his head: "The third brother is strong on the outside and on the inside. He doesn't care about many things and can just laugh them off. But the things he wants to care about will definitely be dealt with to the end. He won't care about Maplewood City.
That’s it.”
He took a jade hairpin from the bag.
“There are some things that I can’t do anything about. But if he wants to do something... I must be able to help him.”
He handed a few pieces of silver to the five horsemen, turned around and left.
