After returning to Sheng Kingdom, Jiang Beiran went directly to Liangzhou and found Li Fucheng.
'Hmm? How big is the formation?'
The moment he walked out of Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran felt that he had entered two major formations, namely the investigation-type Yangmen Formation and the concealment-type Meng Meng Formation.
‘Does this mean you have an enemy?’
It goes without saying that these two formations were definitely set up by Li Fucheng, but I don't know who they were used to defend against.
'And...how did this kid learn multiple formations?'
When Jiang Beiran came here before, he was surprised enough to hear that Li Fucheng was proficient in nine types of formations. But this time, it was better, he even learned multiple major formations.
This is a high-level skill in formation formation, and it is also the biggest difference between geniuses and ordinary formation masters.
It is absolutely impossible to learn multiple formations through hard training, and only those with real talent can realize it.
Of course, cheating is also possible.
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Li Fucheng, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, walked out quickly and saluted.
"Brother Wang, why are you here today?"
"Have you made an enemy?" Jiang Beiran asked while searching for the formation's eyes.
"Enemy?" Li Fucheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately understood what Brother Wang meant: 'No, no, I'm just practicing the formation.'
Nodding, Jiang Beiran walked towards the courtyard and continued to ask: "When did you learn the multiple formations?"
"Master taught me two months ago."
"Two months?" Jiang Beiran couldn't help but look back at Li Fucheng.
'What a fucking genius.'
After observing in the courtyard for a while, Jiang Beiran walked straight through the hut and came to the backyard.
Following Brother Wang all the way to the backyard, when he saw Brother Wang stopping in front of the well, Li Fucheng couldn't help but stepped forward with admiration and saluted: "Brother Wang has a sharp eye, and he found the location of the formation in just a moment. Little... Fucheng is very impressed.
"
Li Fucheng originally wanted to call himself his younger brother, but when he thought that Brother Wang didn't like him to call him his elder brother, he changed his mind in time.
"The formation eyes are still too obvious and easy to break. Next time, remember not to be so rigid in the layout. Jiuyao does not have to be arranged in a fixed order."
After hearing this, Li Fucheng immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your advice."
At this time, Tang Tingshuang walked out of the room and said to Jiang Beiran: "Brother Wang is here. Please sit down first. I will help you cook some sweet soup."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll leave right away."
After speaking, he looked at Li Fucheng and said, "Is there anything important that needs to be done recently?"
Brother Wang asked this question. Even if something big happened, he would have to stay back. So Li Fucheng immediately raised his hands and said, "Returning to Brother Wang, I have been very free recently. I practice formations at home every day."
"Well, come with me and take you to a good place."
Li Fucheng was overjoyed after hearing this. After waiting for so long, he finally had the opportunity to act with Brother Wang!
"yes!"
"I'll give you a day to prepare. I'll pick you up again at this time tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Beiran got directly into Fei Mansion and left.
Li Fucheng had long been accustomed to Brother Wang's vigorous and resolute actions, so after Brother Wang "disappeared", he immediately returned to the house to prepare.
"Master, it's really great." Tang Tingshuang, who was following Li Fucheng, said.
After spending so much time with Li Fucheng, Tang Tingshuang understood very well that the young master's greatest wish was to help Brother Wang in order to repay the almost countless kindness he had received.
"Yes, I have been preparing for this day for a long time. Shuang'er, go help me bring up the boxes from the basement."
"Okay." Tang Tingshuang responded happily and walked towards the basement.
…
After pulling Li Fucheng, Jiang Beiran did not leave Shengguo directly, but took out the talisman and wrote a letter to Yin Jianghong.
Half a day later, Jiang Beiran arrived at the imperial city. As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he heard Ji Qinglin's loud voice.
"I think our lord's cards are too big. He insists on making some kind of alliance with us, and then disappears after doing so. Then he summons us for a meeting when he comes back. This is really treating us like pawns.
.”
But after Ji Qinglin finished speaking, he found that no one responded to him.
The old god Yin Jianghong was there, but he closed his eyes and showed no reaction, completely treating him as air.
Guan Shian is meditating and practicing without any distractions.
Wan Anqing was chatting with Meng Sipei and didn't look at him at all.
As for Yan Siyuan, who was sitting in the last seat, he was still looking at his nose and his heart as usual, as if he was an outsider.
"I asked you, are you giving him too much face? In the past, you all asked your subordinates to come out to deal with it, but it's better today. They all showed up in person."
Yes, as Ji Qinglin said, the most important leaders of Sheng Kingdom were all present today, and even Guan Shian came out of seclusion specially.
The reason is that they were not there when Jiang Beiran "established his power" last time. Looking back now, I can see with my own eyes what earth-shaking changes have happened in this young man.
"I've met all the seniors. I'm a little late. Please forgive me."
Just when Ji Qinglin was holding back his energy and preparing to say something more, Jiang Beiran stepped into the hall and raised his hands to the leaders.
As soon as the protagonist arrived, all eyes present were immediately focused on Jiang Beiran.
Some are appreciative, some are happy, some are surprising, some are sparkling, and some are provocative.
Looking at the provocative gaze, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Master Ji seems to be very dissatisfied with me?"
When Ji Qinglin saw Jiang Beiran openly attacking him, his temper suddenly rose.
Just as he was about to rush forward and communicate with Jiang Beiran with his fists, he was grabbed by Yin Jianghong.
"Are you taking what you said last time as fart?"
Thinking that he had indeed recognized Jiang Beiran as the boss, Ji Qinglin threw his hands away angrily, sat down again and said, "Yes, I am just dissatisfied with you, very dissatisfied."
Jiang Beiran still kept smiling and walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.
"Then please tell Master Ji why you are dissatisfied with me."
Ji Qinglin was not polite and replied directly: "The reason why I recognize you as the spokesperson of Shengguo is because you said you want Shengguo to flourish, but what is the result? We are building Liangzhou and eliminating the major sects in the country.
Where were you during the conflict!?"
"I've been to a lot of places recently. I wonder when exactly Leader Ji asked about?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, when we were busy everywhere, did you do anything for Shengguo?"
"Then I wonder what Master Ji has done?"
"Now that you are the leader, of course you should first tell me what you have done for Shengguo."
"Okay, just in time, I called you all here this time just to talk about this matter." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Ji Qinglin and asked: "What does Master Ji think is the biggest trouble in our Sheng Kingdom now?"
"The natural thing is to rectify the various sects and religions and let them work together."
"It's too small."
"What's too small?"
"The situation is too small." Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran continued: "Compared with internal worries, external troubles are more fatal."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to use your status as the guest minister of the Shi family to pressure me. What we are talking about now is development. I only support you as the leader because the old man said you can make Shengguo better. I just shrink here.
If you don't get beaten, you won't get better."
"Also, if we just don't want to be beaten, there is no need for you to be a guest of the Shi family."
The meaning of Ji Qinglin's words is very simple. The fact that Shengguo has been able to survive in this troubled world to this day is, to put it mildly, a corner of peace, and to put it worse, it means that he is king and hegemon in a garbage dump.
This is the very corner of Xuanlong Continent, and the spiritual energy has become extremely thin. Otherwise, all the giants in the country would not be able to bring out even one Xuanzun during a meeting.
In a place like the Six Kingdoms, Xuan Zun can only be the second in command at most, and competition is fierce.
Therefore, if the Sheng Kingdom wants to continue to survive, they can just stay the same as before. No powerful country will covet them at all.
"Yes, Master Ji is right. All of you gathered here have only one purpose, and that is to make Shengguo a better place. Everyone is responsible for the internal situation, and as for the external world... of course I am not just looking for a protective umbrella for Shengguo."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he placed a deed and a belt card on the square table.
This time not only Ji Qinglin, but also all the Shengguo giants looked at the waist card on the table. If it was someone else's pocket card, then they might not care so much, but Jiang Beiran's words...
The piece he took out last time shocked them for several days.
"You..." Ji Qinglin didn't know how to answer the question for a while, so he just stared at the token.
"This is the badge given to me by Yan Guangqing, the leader of the Qiantian Sect of the Qiang Kingdom, and the deed is proof that he agreed to trade with our Sheng Kingdom."
‘Xingguo!? Qian Tianzong!?’
Everyone present was shocked. Since the annexation of Liang Kingdom, there was only one thing they were most worried about.
That is whether the two neighboring countries, Xiangshang and Shang, will be aware of their ambitions and encircle and suppress them in order to prevent trouble in the future.
To this end, they have strengthened their border defenses several times and are ready to fight to the death.
But now... Jiang Beiran has actually obtained a trade letter with the top sect of the country. Doesn't this mean that the two countries have signed a friendship agreement?
'No...it's not that simple.' Ji Qinglin shook his head secretly.
In troubled times, agreements between countries are like waste paper. They can be torn up at any time. Just a piece of paper cannot guarantee anything at all.
But Jiang Beiran was indeed doing practical things, and they were practical things that none of them had ever done.
And just when Ji Qinglin was about to ask in detail what was going on, Guan Shi'an suddenly stood up.
Quickly walking up to Jiang Beiran, Guan Shian looked Jiang Beiran up and down and said, "Are you...really Beiran?"
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, raised his hands towards the sect leader whom he had not seen for a long time and replied: "It's true."
"No, no, Bei Ran was not like you before." Guan Shi'an shook his head.
As a cultivator, he doesn't care much about sect affairs, let alone national affairs. He can just leave them to Tai Yingzong to handle anyway.
Until the last time he heard a piece of news that almost made him think that he had accidentally been in seclusion for a hundred years, that was...
Jiang Beiran has the final say in Shengguo now!
This will put Guan Shi'an at risk.
After confirming that he had indeed been in seclusion for only one year, Guan Shian was even more confused as to what was going on and how could Shengguo change his life.
It was a change, but he really didn't understand it when it was changed like this.
The last time he came out of seclusion was to attack the Liang Kingdom. The battle was really enjoyable, and he also conquered the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop. He felt very comfortable inside.
Of course, he would be happier if this plan was not designed by Yin Jianghong.
But no matter what, after practicing for so long, he finally accomplished something big, and Guan Shian was still very happy in his heart.
But in Tai Yingzong's narrative, the biggest contributor to the destruction of the Liang Kingdom turned out to be Jiang Beiran!
From planning to personnel deployment, he completed everything independently. To put it bluntly, they were just going to be thugs.
After hearing this, Guan Shian was greatly shocked.
But it's not unacceptable. After all, Guan Shi'an had already seen Jiang Beiran's intelligence and ability to take charge of the overall situation at that Young Heroes Conference, otherwise he would not have been allowed to become the emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.
But what he never expected was that this young disciple actually became the emperor of Sheng Kingdom! Even he could control the emperor!
After hearing this, Guan Shi'an couldn't even shut up, and went to find Yin Jianghong in a hurry, because he felt that the old fox must know more.
But Yin Jianghong only gave him one sentence.
‘I felt something was wrong with him from the first moment I saw him, and he hid it deeper than anyone else.”
With such a meaningless sentence, Guan Shian couldn't understand what it meant, so he had to wait and ask Jiang Beiran the next time he came back.
So when he heard that Jiang Beiran had summoned him today, he rushed over in person without saying a word.
Seeing the puzzled look in Guan Shian's eyes, Jiang Beiran coughed lightly and said with a smile: "People always change."
"You have changed too much."
In Guan Shian's memory, the thing Jiang Beiran didn't like to do the most was to be in the limelight. He was obviously very useful, but he always wanted to hide in the corner so that no one would know.
If they hadn't coaxed him to the throne, this kid wouldn't have been able to hide for how long.
But this time he took the initiative to stand up and became the leader so forcefully.
This is simply too abnormal.
At this time, Yin Jianghong coughed, looked at Guan Shian and said, "We are talking about national affairs. I asked you, can you put down those boring questions of yours?"
"What is a boring question!?" Guan Shi'an looked at Yin Jianghong and yelled, "I have to know who is responsible for what Sheng Guo is saying now, right?"
"Jiang Beiran, your famous and upright young disciple Jiang Beiran, are you satisfied? Do you want to give you a round of applause?"
"Who told you this, I want to ask..." Guan Shi'an suddenly became happy as he spoke.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran quickly raised his hands and said, "Sect Master Guan, why don't you sit down first and I'll tell you what happened in detail after I finish talking about it."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's respectful attitude towards him, Guan Shi'an felt very satisfied.
Nodding, he sat back down and said, "Okay, then tell me about what you did. I'm all ears."
