In the imperial study, Jiang Beiran was drinking tea and discussing with Mu Yao the follow-up treatment of the epidemic and the current changes in Sheng Kingdom.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's cup was empty, Mu Yao immediately picked up the teapot and poured him tea while saying: "The officials you selected... are really powerful. Each one of them is different from the high officials I imagined.
Likewise, not only do each of them have outstanding abilities and care for the people, but even if they hold great power, they never form cliques for personal gain. I...I really can't understand how you do it."
Listening to Mu Yao's words of admiration for herself in that awkward tone.
Jiang Beiran finally understood why she was so "attentive" when she saw him.
It seems that he finally realized how powerful the team of officials he left him was.
Although it is impossible for each of them to be comparable to Yu Qian who said "Only two sleeves of breeze", they can definitely be regarded as noble characters. Even if there is a little bit of moth mixed in, they are moths that cannot make waves.
.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Then you have to work harder to maintain the status quo."
"I will."
After speaking, Mu Yao took a deep breath and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Beiran.
"Bring me the memorials that impressed you the most and show me. Don't tell me you didn't organize them and put them away."
"I really can't hide anything from you..." After Mu Yao finished speaking, she took out a box from under the dragon case and handed it to Jiang Beiran. "The articles sent by officials from all over the country are almost useless, so these can be said to be the essence.
The best of it.”
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded, picked up a volume and started reading.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran had entered a serious reading mode, Mu Yao did not dare to disturb him, so she sat quietly and waited. At most, she could only add some tea to Jiang Beiran from time to time.
…
"Boom, boom."
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, when everything was silent, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the imperial study room.
"Slave, go and open it." Kong Qianqian, who was fanning Jiang Beiran, immediately ran to the door.
With a "squeak", the rosewood door was pushed open, and it was Meng Sipei who stood outside the door.
Seeing the master in the imperial study looking through the pages carefully, Meng Sipei opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed it hard.
Seeing this, Mu Yao walked to Meng Sipei's side softly and said in a low voice: "Sect Master Meng, sir, you are reading the memorial. Let's go out and talk if you have anything to do."
After hearing this, Meng Sipei also lowered her voice and replied: "No need, I just want to come in and take a look, since..."
Halfway through the conversation, Meng Sipei suddenly didn't know how to address the master.
It's definitely not possible to call him an expert directly, and it's not okay to call him a venerable person. Just call him by his first name... She couldn't pass this test in her heart, so she simply followed Mu Yao's call and said: "Since sir is reading the memorial
, then I’ll just wait quietly.”
Mu Yao was a little stunned when she heard Sect Master Meng also call him sir.
'Even Sect Master Meng wants to call him sir? What on earth...has he done?'
After quietly walking into the imperial study, Meng Sipei nodded towards Xia Lingdang as a greeting.
When Xia Lingdang saw this, she quickly returned the favor.
The interaction between the two fell into Mu Yao's eyes, making her more and more curious about the girl who had been following Jiang Beiran.
After all, in her impression, Jiang Beiran had always been a loner. During the time when her eldest father forced him to act with her, he tried his best to complete the task as quickly as possible, and then dumped her in the blink of an eye.
For myself, it can be said that I have no nostalgia at all.
But now it turns out...
'I wonder what's so special about this girl...'
In the quiet atmosphere, Meng Sipei calmly observed the master for the first time.
I saw him carefully reading through each memorial, and then thinking about the various changes that had taken place in the counties of Fengzhou.
'The master must be here to save the common people...'
Meng Sipei sighed sincerely.
As the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the imperial study, Jiang Beiran closed a memorial in his hand and looked up at Mu Yao and said, "The correction was good. It seems that the time you spent with me was not in vain."
Hearing this sudden praise, Mu Yao replied in a panic: "It's all... for the people, otherwise I wouldn't want to be around you."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran shrugged, ignored Mu Yao's nonsense, and continued: "Now that the food problems of several other major counties have been solved, it is time to start radiating to the surrounding areas. At the same time, you can also do the economic work.
We need to hurry up, we can't make sure that all the people have enough to eat just by farming."
"Well, I know the pros and cons."
"It's good that you know. The other thing is that you can try to mobilize the power of practitioners to serve the country. You can slowly implement the plans I left for digging mountains, building dams, and digging canals."
After hearing this, Mu Yao was stunned for a long time before asking: "Sir, what do you mean by this...?"
"Just do as I say, if you encounter resistance, go to your eldest father to resolve it."
Mu Yao was even more confused after hearing this. Listening to Jiang Beiran's tone, she felt like Sheng Guo had the final say...
Just when Mu Yao was stunned, Jiang Beiran looked at Meng Sipei and said, "Just stay here and help her for a while. You don't have to worry about running the country. Just keep the situation under control."
"ah?"
For a moment, Mu Yao and Meng Sipei looked confused.
After being stunned for a while, Meng Sipei finally said, "Sir, what do you mean by this...?"
Glancing at Meng Sipei, Jiang Beiran said: "Is it difficult to understand that you are just helping her govern the Sheng Kingdom?"
"It's not difficult, but I still have matters related to the Sifang Sect..."
"It's too small."
"What's too small?" Meng Sipei looked at the master and asked in confusion.
"The layout is too small."
"As the leader of Sifang Sect, you should put Shengguo's affairs first, because only when Shengguo is strong can Sifang Sect become stronger. If your Sifang Sect is a towering tree, then Shengguo will be stronger.
It is the soil that nurtures big trees. If the soil is not fertile enough, how can big trees continue to grow?"
'The opinions of experts...are indeed unique!'
But after being impressed, Meng Sipei asked doubtfully: "But what can I do?"
Glancing at Mu Yao, Jiang Beiran said: "If you stay by her side, you will naturally be useful."
Seeing Jiang Beiran training Master Meng like a subordinate, Mu Yao standing aside was stunned.
This scene suddenly reminded Mu Yao of the time when Jiang Beiran poured poisonous insects into the body of a Xinzuo in the palace. After that, the Liang Guo Xinzuo could only obey his words.
'Is it possible that even the Xuanhuang peak is not his opponent?'
Although Mu Yao had always known that Jiang Beiran was far more powerful than he appeared on the surface, she never knew how strong he really was. However, judging from the performance of Sect Master Meng today, it seemed that he could completely suppress a strong man at the peak of the Xuan Emperor.
At the same time, she was even more certain that he was the one who rescued her back then!
‘I’ll definitely make it right this time!’
Thinking that there were still a lot of things to do today, Jiang Beiran stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go." After saying that, he looked at Meng Sipei and said, "Don't forget to go back and settle things with your Sect Master Wan first.
Make it clear and it’s up to you to decide what to do next.”
After speaking, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and left the palace.
After Jiang Beiran left, the imperial study was quiet for a long time, until Kong Qianqian looked at Meng Sipei and said, "Sect Master Meng... you want to have breakfast here, ah?"
Only then did Meng Sipei come back to her senses, looked at Kong Qianqian and said, "I am indeed a little hungry."
"Okay, then I'll go notify the imperial dining room." After saying that, Kong Qianqian ran out of the imperial study room.
When Kong Qianqian ran away, Meng Sipei and Mu Yao looked at each other and said at the same time.
"What do you think sir wants us to do?"
When they heard that the other party had the same doubts as themselves, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed together.
After laughing for a while, Mu Yao said first: "How about Master Meng, please tell me sir... No, what changes have happened to the upper echelons of Sheng Kingdom?"
Meng Sipei thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, but you also have to tell me what kind of person your husband was before."
"no problem."
…
While the two were describing Jiang Beiran's story, Jiang Beiran had already returned to Liangzhou on the auspicious clouds.
Seeing Li Fucheng waiting at the door, Jiang Beiran flew directly into the courtyard on the clouds.
Seeing the auspicious clouds falling, Li Fucheng immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Wang."
Jiang Beiran, who was walking down the cloud, nodded and asked, "How do you feel about the book I gave you yesterday?"
Li Fucheng didn't expect that Brother Wang would directly test himself as soon as he came up. He replied nervously: "I haven't... I haven't finished reading it. Please give me two more days, please. No... just one day."
"I didn't ask you whether you had finished reading it, but I asked you how you felt after reading it. Do you think it is difficult to learn to refine weapons?"
This question stumped Li Fucheng again.
It’s easier said than done… What if you can’t answer Brother Wang’s next question? It’s difficult to say it… and it might disappoint Brother Wang.
So after thinking for a while, Li Fucheng replied: "Although Fucheng is dull in nature, he will definitely try his best to learn well."
Listening to Li Fucheng's answer, Jiang Beiran knew that he would definitely not be able to get anything out by asking, so he should wait to see the actual results later.
"Okay, weapon refining is complicated and deep. It's no simpler than the formation. You still need to take it seriously."
"Yes, I will follow Brother Wang's teachings!" Li Fucheng replied with his hands in hand.
"Come up, let's go see your master."
"yes!"
When Li Fucheng ascended the clouds, Jiang Beiran flew towards the country on clouds.
I have actually been to Jiang Beiran in the country many times, but every time I passed by, at most I would go down to find a place to sleep in the wilderness when I ran out of options.
So in general, he knows nothing about the country, whether it is the distribution of power or the national system.
All I know is that this place still allows him to jump through options, which shows that there are indeed many potential dangers.
Before entering the country, Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and asked, "You will show me the way after entering the country."
"Yes!" Li Fucheng nodded immediately.
After arranging the "navigation", Jiang Beiran drove Xiangyun into the territory of the country.
I was just thinking that this time I would be much safer in the country with the disciples of the leader of the Qiantian Sect, right? But the next second the option popped up.
[Option 1: Fly towards the east. Completion reward: Tianji Netherworld Sutra (earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: Fly towards the south. Completion reward: Xuan Yu Demonic Axis (Xuan level top grade)]
[Option 3: Fly towards the northwest, completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
‘It’s closer to the north… As expected, the flag can’t be set up.’
With a rant in his mind, Jiang Beiran chose three and then turned around and flew towards the northwest.
"Senior brother, there is no need to change direction, just now..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll give you directions when I ask you to."
Although he didn't understand why Brother Wang had to take a long detour, Li Fucheng's life creed had long been changed to Brother Wang would never be wrong, so he just followed Brother Wang.
[Optional mission completed, reward: Strength +1]
Seeing the system options pop up, Jiang Beiran knew that he had avoided the danger just now.
At the same time, I also started to think about an important issue, it was time to find another "transportation".
As a yellow-level magic weapon, the Cirrus Cloud Tube was very popular in the Sheng Kingdom at first, but once it arrived in the stronger country, it was no longer possible. The concealment ability of the yellow-level magic weapon not only failed to make it safer, but made it more conspicuous.
What dangers can you encounter while flying in the sky?
It's nothing more than bumping into the clouds. When did Heaven ever reason with him and arrange for Xuanzong, wouldn't it be easy for Xuanzong to ride on the clouds and bump into him?
So every time the system pops up a prompt, Jiang Beiran knows that he has avoided a "cloud disaster".
Under this situation, Jiang Beiran also thought many times whether he should find a better means of transportation. If he couldn't find one like Feifu, he could just find a mysterious-level flying magic weapon to make ends meet.
Just because "transportation" is not yet considered a necessity, Jiang Beiran has never put it on his agenda. In addition, sitting in Xiangyun to trigger the option is also one of the channels for him to obtain points, so he just makes do with it.
But when he had something serious to do, it was a pain in the ass to keep asking him to change routes, so Jiang Beiran decided to put this matter on the agenda and put some thought into solving it.
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to turn around and ask Li Fucheng where he should fly next, another option popped up, still reminding him to change direction.
'Nima...'
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran turned around and flew towards the east.
'Okay, when I return to Tongguo next time, I must get a Yunzhong GTR to drive!'
Fortunately, the location of Qian Tianzong is not too far away. When the fourth option was triggered, Jiang Beiran arrived at the foot of Wuhua Mountain where Qian Tianzong is located. Otherwise, Jiang Beiran had already made a plan. As long as the option was triggered more than four times, then Jiang Beiran would
Even if it was Xuan Zun's pigeon, he had to let it go!
After the clouds fell, Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and said, "Come and lead the way."
"yes."
After agreeing, Li Fucheng walked at the front, leading Jiang Beiran and Xia Lingdang toward the mountain gate.
As the first sect in the Xing Kingdom, the Qiantian Sect’s gate is quite impressive.
A total of fourteen Tongtian Pillars stand behind the gate. These Tongtian Pillars are the masterpieces of high-level weapon refiners. Once someone breaks through the gate, these fourteen Tongtian Pillars will launch a fierce attack on the attacker.
