When the Emperor of Qi called a halt to the battle, the outcome of the battle had naturally appeared.
Although Jiang Wang was covered in injuries at this time, Zhong Xuanzun was spotless at this time.
Although Zhongxuanzun still has two star wheels, although his fighting spirit is still high and his blood is like a flood...
But the outcome has been decided.
At least for the moment.
Zhongxuan Zun was in the air, and suddenly he smiled freely. His black hair and white clothes fell down, and he opened his big hands and spread out the sun, moon and stars. He turned around and stepped down from the sky, walking out gracefully.
The palace door was naturally opened for him.
After waiting outside the palace for a long time, all eyes, hidden or visible, fell on him.
His breathing would be heard repeatedly.
He has long been accustomed to being in the spotlight and doesn't care what people think.
Under the majestic palace, he walked willfully and laughed wildly——
"It's a long journey, Jiang Qingyang, see you again in the world!"
He just left so gracefully, just like when Jiang Wang saw him for the first time.
Qiu Ji, who was waiting outside the palace gate, glanced at Jiang Wang in front of the palace from a distance. Without giving him any look, he followed Zhong Xuanzun in small steps.
Now Jiang Wang was the only one standing in front of Delu Palace with cracked floor tiles. There was only a door between him and Emperor Da Qi in the palace. But Han Ling, who was guarding the door, would not invite him in again.
He regarded Chong Xuan Zun's reunion as a blessing.
Because life and death here are unpredictable, and blessings and disasters are actually unknown.
He won the second battle with Zhongxuanzun, but he didn't feel happy in his heart.
He personally cut the way out of Qi, but the road ahead did not become clear.
But this is his choice.
The place where he started was in ruins, and all his efforts over the years were to return to those ruins.
No matter how glorious the scene is, he can't rest in peace. Sometimes right and wrong can only be tested by time. In other words, right and wrong are no longer important.
He once left his village and walked thousands of miles alone, and now he had to walk back alone.
He faced the palace and bowed politely: "I bid farewell to the Emperor!"
"Keep the set of "History's Swordsman Cutting the Sea" that I gave you. There is no need for you to read it again." The emperor's voice came from the palace: "I have read through history for four thousand years and talked about thousands of words, but I don't know how to protect myself."
.It can be seen that reading is wise and cannot be taken seriously."
Jiang Wangdao: "I don't carry this set with me. If your Majesty must ask for it, I will ask someone to buy a set and return it to you."
Han Ling looked at Jiang Wang with eager eyes, ready to go up and search the storage box if he had any disagreement.
But the emperor just said: "Don't be a minister anymore."
The majestic voice that overcame everything rose slightly: "Jiang Wang, Marquis of Wu'an, is guilty of being disrespectful! Now we have deprived him of his title, reduced his position, taken away his fief, demoted him to a commoner, and driven him out of the Qi land! Han Ling, you are responsible for supervising this matter.
."
Before Jiang Wang could react, he had already appeared outside Delu Palace with Han Ling, and the palace door in front of him was deeply hidden.
He bowed deeply to the palace gate again: "May your Majesty take care of your holy body and prosper forever!"
Then he got up and walked out of the palace with his broken body and ragged clothes.
Han Ling, who was responsible for expelling the common man Jiang Wang, quickly followed him, stretched out his hand, replenished his energy and blood, and repaired the Ruyi Immortal Clothes.
As the head of the palace officials in Da Qi, he had no personal likes or dislikes towards Jiang Wang. His love and hatred were all the same as those of the Emperor.
At this moment, as Jiang Wang walked out of the palace, his sight both overt and covert was blocked by him.
Both of them were speechless until they walked out of the palace——
Outside the palace city, there are crowds of people!
This place has always been an empty square. No restaurants or wine shops are allowed, and no hawkers or gatherings are allowed. How has such a large number of people ever gathered here?
The fact that so many people gathered together but remained silent showed good discipline. It was obvious that the vast majority of them were soldiers.
There were many familiar faces in the crowd, and Jiang Wang couldn't help but stop.
He stopped outside the Changlu Gate, calmed down his mood, and smiled: "Are you guys going to eat here?"
Now is Tatsuki, which is the "morning meal" time. Many people get up at this time to have breakfast.
The former Marquis of Wu'an said hello to his former subordinates.
But the crowd in front of him remained silent.
As if this silence could keep him behind.
Jiang Wang paused for a moment and then walked forward. Han Ling followed him silently.
The crowd also silently made way for them.
Jiang Wang walked slowly among the crowd. He already knew the weight of his gaze, and he had already borne the weight of his gaze.
His determination was conveyed in this silence.
Suddenly, a man knelt down on one knee and stopped in front of him. He looked up at Jiang Wang with a sad face: "Master Hou! Do you still remember me? You saved me in the Minxi Corridor of Xia Kingdom! Why... why did you leave?
ah?"
Jiang Wang looked at him. He actually didn't have much memory about saving him, but the face was indeed familiar. He had followed him in battles in Xia Di.
During the Minxi Corridor, General Yan Po of Yi State and Zhou Xiong of Xia State fought to death. The aftermath of the battle affected many Qi soldiers.
While waiting for an opportunity to join the battle and help Yan Po, he rushed to rescue people. This also allowed Yi Shengfeng, who was lurking on the side, to see the opportunity and usher in Bo Xinglang's sneak attack.
This man was probably one of the soldiers at that time.
As a general, his eyes were limited to the life and death of one soldier, and he did not prioritize his own preservation and play a greater role. This can be called stupid. But it also became the reason why people miss him.
Jiang Wang reached out to lift the man up, patted his shoulder and planned to leave. But the crowd knelt down in large numbers.
Everyone started shouting.
Which city had he conquered with him, which general had he beheaded with him, who had raised the flag with him, who had shared wine with him... In the end, they all asked him why he left.
Jiang Wang had no choice but to raise his palm and make a downward movement to silence these hot-blooded soldiers.
"The imperial court has its own announcement on this matter, so I won't go into details. The specific situation shall be subject to the imperial court announcement." He glanced around one by one and said sincerely: "But gentlemen, I will never forget to fight side by side with you.
It’s a day. Farewell today is not farewell forever. See you again in the future. I will toast you all!”
"Let me toast you first!" Li Longchuan, with a jade belt on his forehead, walked out of the crowd, holding a pot of wine in his hand and two wine glasses between his fingers.
As he walked out, he kicked people with his boots: "Everyone, get up. I've made up my mind. You can say goodbye and that's it."
The soldiers stood up one after another.
This brave young general did not hide his dissatisfaction at all, and his walking posture was very resentful.
"I didn't want to come, but my sister insisted that I give it to you for her to practice a glass of wine for you..." He said, pouring a glass of wine at will, handed it to Jiang Wang in a dismissive manner, and said: "Sigh.
!”
Jiang Wang could completely understand his friend's emotions and just smiled: "Drink the wine you brought me today!"
He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
He turned the rim of the cup down and said with a smile: "Say hello to Sister Fengyao for me. I hope I will have the opportunity to apologize face to face in the future."
However, Li Longchuan felt a little embarrassed and coquettishly joined him for a drink.
When the wine goes down, some shame sinks and some worry rises.
He said seriously: "I hope we won't meet on the battlefield."
In today's world, countries are constantly fighting each other. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king. The exchange of talents is a normal thing. The current Prime Minister of Da Qi, Jiang Rumo, also moved from the State of Shen with his grandfather when he was a child.
However, it varies from person to person. For example, the more the emperor values ​​a country's genius like Jiang Wang, who has outstanding military exploits, the less he will let him serve as the sword of other countries.
Jiang Wang promised not to serve in other countries. The reason why this promise was believed was not only because of Jiang Wang's personal character, but also because of his actual actions when he came back to Qi to resign face to face.
This reason is very simple - if he wants to go to any overlord country in the world, he can go directly. The pressure of Qi State will be borne by those overlords. There is no need for him to go back to Qi State and risk his life and death.
To be continued...
