If you tell him a serious reason, no matter how perfect it is, it may arouse his vigilance - this guy is actually very smart, and his spiritual sense is especially terrifying.
On the contrary, by arranging him casually and even scolding him a few times, he almost passed.
After all, how could Jiang Qingyang doubt Chongxuan Fatty?
But Jiang Wang still struggled a little today: "Chen Zhitao definitely doesn't want to come to Qi, after all..."
"I understand! How can I be more sensible than you?" Chongxuan Sheng gave him a very rude look: "I have already made a comprehensive plan and arranged for you two to meet in Changguo. It just so happens that you can also see if there is anything unique in Changguo. The legacy of the old sun, cherish your time, take care of his feelings, it will help you in one fell swoop."
Jiang Wang said "Oh" and continued reading.
Chong Xuansheng's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind. The situation in the entire offshore sea was constantly changing in his mind.
"Eh-" Jiang Wang suddenly said.
Chong Xuansheng was startled and opened his eyes impatiently: "What's wrong?"
"How come you haven't seen Fourteen?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at him: "You are still somewhat humane, remember your old friend. Shi Shi is so good to you!"
"It's not very humane, otherwise I should beat you now - oh no, I should say, test your cultivation." Jiang Wang said while flipping through the book: "Brother Sheng, do I not care enough about you now? "
"It's an unfortunate time for you to come. Today is the day when the Empress will enter the harem." Chong Xuan Sheng said in a casual tone: "All the lords and ladies in Linzi City have entered the palace to listen to her lecture. She talks about some women's virtues and etiquette. , the way of a charioteer or something like that.”
The fact that the queen talks about "charioteers" is very humorous in itself.
Who can defeat the Emperor of Qi...
Why does Fourteen need to learn these things? She doesn't care about anything except Chong Xuan Sheng. Chong Xuan Sheng also wishes he could give her his life.
"Today is the day when Empress He enters the harem..." Jiang Wang was reading a book when he suddenly changed his mind and temporarily escaped from the world of sealing. He said to Zhongxuan Sheng: "Separate the convoy and take me to Huahua first. Ying Gong."
The day when Queen He was officially crowned Queen was also the anniversary of the death of Jiang Wuyou's biological mother, Queen Yin...
After staying in the cold palace for more than half a year, she "died of anger". It's hard to say whether Queen He's conferment was the last straw that broke her back.
Zhongxuansheng was very happy to see that he still maintained some human touch. He raised his finger and tapped the armrest of the seat, and the carriage turned.
When they arrived outside Huaying Palace, Jiang Wuyou was not in the palace.
The old woman who had been by Jiang Wuyou's side all year round also got into the carriage, looked at Jiang Wang and said, "Your Highness went to the Bluestone Palace. On this day every year, she would stay there for a while - does Jiang Zhenren want to go into the palace and wait?" "
"No." Jiang Wang said softly: "If it's convenient, can grandma take me to burn incense?"
Chong Xuan Sheng sat quietly next to him, also holding a book on sealing and reading. He was in the officialdom of Qi State, and now he was on a mountain of his own, but it was inconvenient for him to enter Huaying Palace.
The old woman leaned forward and said, "If you're interested...of course you can."
Queen Yin's shrine is very simple. In a very small and secret room, there is a spiritual tablet without even a name.
Jiang Wang simply lit the incense and left.
At the door, the old woman lowered her head and said, "Thank you."
"Thank me?"
"My surname is Yin."
The once famous Yin family has been erased from the history of Qi State.
She, who has always been by Jiang Wuyou's side, may be the only remaining member of the Yin family.
Jiang Wang glanced at her one last time: "Take care of yourself."
Turn around and leave.
…
"It's better to go to Xiashan Villa." Zhong Xuansheng had many things on his mind, but it didn't affect his clarity of speech: "It's been sorted out for you over there. The Ninth Prince hasn't lived there for a long time, and he's not here to enjoy the scenery now. During the season, there is a very peaceful Anhui nearby.
.
Le Bo, I can’t bother you at all..."
Anlebo?
Jiang Wang only had a faint thought in his mind... This name seemed to have been very long ago.
Many things in the past, when I think about them now, seem to be separated by a window. Even if it is close, it is always outside the window, as if I am looking at the scenery elsewhere.
He sat in the car and followed the car.
The car is on the road, and the road is under the sky.
An unfree body lives in a free heart.
"This way..." Jiang Wang stared at the content on the page and said casually: "When I arrive, I will seal the courtyard door. Don't say I'm back to Linzi, don't disturb anyone."
Whenever I return to the State of Qi, the most important thing is to make friends with old friends. It is proper to visit every family I am close to. But as Chong Xuan Sheng said, the premise of "relationships" is that it can still be done Keep the "people" part.
At this critical moment of swimming through the deep sea of heaven, we will all be spared and no one will be seen again.
"Go and study hard." Zhong Xuansheng said, "Hey, leave all the outside matters to me."
In the hot summer, there is no "maple clouds at night", only the chirping of cicadas one after another, climbing all over the mountain.
Ten cars of secret records filled the other courtyard.
Jiang Wang and the three Dharma ministers began to read their books.
…
…
In the high-rise sequence of Diaohai Tower, "Jinghai" is the highest, with "Protecting the Zong" and "Practice" below it. This is also the highest vision of Diaohai Tower since its founding.
Chen Zhitao's name "Zhitao" shows the expectations he has received. Looking at it now, he has not lived up to these expectations.
At the critical moment when Diaohai Building was in turmoil and the sect was on the verge of being wiped out, he was appointed in the face of danger and took on the important role of building owner. It cannot be said that he "turned the tide from collapse", but he indeed withstood the pressure from all sides and allowed the sect to survive the difficult period smoothly. .
And in the "post-Shendu era", Diaohai Tower maintained its independence.
In the period when Wei Xun was still alive, it would be an unfunny joke to say that the goal of Diaohailou was to ensure independence. At that time, the ambitious Shendu Zhenjun formed alliances with all parties externally and Hezhong Island internally, and established a strong The Zhenhai League is about to unify the maritime territories and pursue maritime hegemony.
But after Wei Xun left, considering the situation faced by Diaohailou, "guaranteeing independence" was actually a very difficult political goal.
After the Mysterious World War, Qi's unification of the maritime territories was almost a foregone conclusion. The Zhenhai League founded by Wei Xun had become the sole authority of Qi, and Jueming Island decided many offshore matters with one word.
Sects of all sizes in the offshore islands began to embroider purple flags overnight. It was only a matter of time before the people of the sea became the common people.
Due to unique historical reasons and the existence of Jiangzhuyue Festival, Yanggu's status is relatively transcendent.
Diaohailou was able to ensure that its orthodoxy was maintained with the support of Jingguo.
Or to put it more directly, it was the Penglai Island projecting power in the offshore, Dongtianshi Song Huai's personal visit to the sea area, and Yang Gu's statement that led to the reconstruction of the Diaohai Tower.
How can Diaohailou maintain its identity in the face of Jingguo's will? How can it stick to its orthodoxy in the face of Qi's authority? How can it cope with such a clear pattern with a relatively weak body now that the body is crippled and sickly? Offshore situation?
This will test the determination and wisdom of the new landlord.
Chen Zhitao has done a good job, but many people ask him to do better.
"These are what I should do."
On Xiaoyueya Island, where the Diaohailou Sect is stationed, Chen Zhitao, wearing a sea-blue sect leader's Taoist uniform, knelt down in front of the statue of the founder and spoke slowly.
Crescent Island, also known as "Huai Island", has now become a "neutral" territory in line with the definition of Qi State, open to all sea people. It no longer belongs to any force in name, and is only under the jurisdiction of the Zhenhai Alliance. The headquarters of Zhenhai League is located.
The statue of Dragon Diao Ke stands on this island and on Tianya Platform for people to commemorate.
The inheritance of Diaolongke was moved to Little Yueya Island - this was originally a branch of Diaohai Tower. Song Huai, Yue Jie and others
.
They fought for the reconstruction of the original site of Huai Island for Diaohai Tower. It was Chen Zhitao who defied all opinions and moved the clan here.
Obviously, he did not want Diaohailou to become Jingguo's spear on the offshore front.
From being "unwilling" to actually making the trip, it was a long and difficult journey. Fortunately, we have gone through it all.
Now Qin Zhen is standing by the door of the Patriarch Hall, looking at the back of the young sect master in front of her, and said calmly: "If you only talk about 'should', you have done enough."
She and Chong Guang are still the elders of Jinghai. There is no change in their duties and responsibilities, but they are actually the supreme elders of Diaohai Tower.
After all, Chen Zhitao was the junior they had watched grow up, and there was still a big gap in his cultivation. He could not establish the authority of the sect leader in front of them.
She and Chong Guang are now showing less and less frequently, which is not only a sign of weakness for Qi Guo, but also leaves the stage to Chen Zhitao to avoid taking over the spotlight.
"For Chen Zhitao, it may be enough, but for the owner of Diaohailou, I am still far behind." Chen Zhitao did not look back, but said in a heavy voice: "There are ancestors far away, and there are ancestors close by. The talents and virtues of Zitao are all Qian, what if I’m embarrassed... I’m so ashamed that I can’t live in peace.”
Chen Zhitao is also a high-spirited person, otherwise he would not compare himself with Wei Xun or Dragon Fisherman.
But people’s qualifications do vary from high to low. Some come once in a thousand years, some only come once in a lifetime, and some can only be described as mediocre. Chen Zhitao is certainly not a mediocre person, he is a genius in all aspects. .But if you want to catch up with Wei Xun, or even the dragon fishermen, it can no longer be described as "hard work" alone.
Qin Zhen sighed softly in her heart, her face remained calm, and she just said: "Don't you want to go to Changguo? Just go now. You don't want to see Fu Dongxu."
At this time, a voice sounded leisurely outside the door - "Fu Dongxu... why don't you want to see him?"
Qin Zhen instinctively pointed her fingers like scissors, but forcefully withdrew the sharpness. She felt in an unspeakable trance - Diaohailou today is no longer even qualified to "not see guests".
What appeared outside the door at this moment was a man with eyes as bright as a mirror. His eyes were full of scrutiny, full of other people's thoughts. He was wearing a very loose Taoist robe, gently fluttering in the sea breeze. Standing in the center of Diaohailou Sect, the Patriarch
In front of the hall, his eyes were wandering around, his posture extremely relaxed.
He is naturally Fu Dongxu, the leader of Jingshi Tai, who has now been reinstated. He indeed does not feel dangerous in Diaohai Tower today. This arrogance is natural.
Chen Zhitao stood up in front of the statue of the Patriarch, turned around, looked directly at the uninvited guest who came outside the door, took one step forward, and faced him.
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his head gently: "Master Fu! Chen Zhitao, the owner of Diaohai Tower, would like to express my greetings. Please give my regards to the emperor of your country."
"It's easy to say." Fu Dongxu said with a bright face and a relaxed smile: "Master Chen is a person who understands etiquette! Many people can no longer write these four words of gratitude."
According to Qin Zhen's past temper, if Fu Dongxu stabbed her face to face, she would never be able to relieve her anger until Fu Dongxu was stabbed a few times. Today, she just stood silently, like a thin piece of paper floating in the wind.
"I often ask myself - do you want to solve problems, or create problems? So I don't want to be rude. Arrogance, sarcasm, and emotional venting will not help the matter itself." Under this situation, Chen Zhitao became more outward-looking.
He took a step forward and looked directly at Fu Dongxu: "I wonder what Chief Fu is thinking?"
Fu Dongxu smiled: "Master Chen really has a first-class character, and what he said makes sense! Indeed, we need to solve problems, not create them."
He also bowed to Qin Zhen and expressed his apology, and then said: "To be honest, I came to Little Crescent Island this time just to solve the problem."
He looked into Chen Zhitao's eyes and emphasized: "On behalf of the Central Dajing Empire, solve this problem."
Qin Zhen remained silent and maintained Chen Zhitao's authority as the poster.
Chen Zhitao just looked at Fu Dongxu and said slowly: "The best attitude is the attitude of solving problems. But I don't know... what is a 'problem' in Jing Guo's eyes?"
We are not afraid that Jingguo will solve the problem, but we are afraid that Jingguo will regard Diaohai Tower as a problem.
.
Fu Dongxu had a smile on his face: "Master Chen is a wise man, why not take a guess?"
At this time, the glow on his face drained away for a moment, gathering into a group of light in front of him. From the group of light, a brilliant figure walked out.
Chongguang, the first elder of Diaohailou, stood between Chen Zhitao and Fu Dongxu.
There was light on his face, and he was always in the light. The mirror light that Fu Dongxu carried with him was driven away again and again by him.
There was no emotion in his eyes, and he took the initiative to speak: "Let me guess - Diaohai Tower? Zhenhai League? Jueming Island? Qi State?"
Although Diaohailou is in decline, its owner should not be taken lightly.
Chen Zhitao couldn't play mysterious guessing games with others, so Chongguang would rather do it by himself.
Fu Dongxu clasped his hands behind his back and said proudly: "In the eyes of Master Chongguang, is the structure of the world's greatest empire just limited to this?"
"Maybe more, but I don't know." Chongguang said cautiously: "What else is going on in these offshore islands that deserves your visit in person, Fu Dongxu?"
"Me? Haha! In this great event, I am just a pawn!" Fu Dongxu laughed twice, then looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "My great scene is based in the middle region, majestic in the world. Looking east, you can see There is only one thing that can be called a 'problem'——"
"Did Chief Fu mean 'Canghai'?" Chongguang asked, raising his eyebrows.
Fu Dongxu waved his sleeves: "Of course!"
Rumble!
Thunder rang overseas.
…
…
First there was a few thunders, then a downpour of rain.
Raindrops hung like curtains in front of the eaves.
Even if my eyes pass through the rain curtain, I can't chase the free swift, but I am still trapped and locked in the palace.
Under the cobweb-dusted eaves of the palace, Jiang Wuyou stood against the wall, like a slender and plump goddess statue. It was the only bright scenery in this dark palace.
She didn't speak, just watched the rain.
Just like that day many years ago, I quietly waited for the news of my biological mother's death.
At that time, the adoptive mother Ning Guifei said that a very important person had left.
At that time, she pulled out her dagger and danced like a flying swallow through the rain. She seemed not to know that it was her mother who died.
Of course she was very sad at that time, but she didn't understand the meaning of death.
She just knew that there was someone she couldn't see again.
