Twenty minutes later, two large bowls of meat that looked exactly the same were placed on the dining table. When they heard Princess Shen Jiang calling for dinner, the crown prince and the second prince ran down excitedly. When they saw the two bowls of beast meat on the table, they could not help but reach out to grab them.
At this moment, Second Brother Jiang quickly stopped him and asked with a smile,""Crown Prince and Second Prince, among these two bowls of beast meat, one was made by Princess Shen Jiang and the other was made by Second Brother Jiang. Guess which bowl was made by Second Brother Jiang?”
"This bowl!" The crown prince and the second prince pointed at a bowl of beast meat that looked slightly inferior and said.
Then, Second Brother Jiang said gloomily,"Alright, actually this bowl is the right one.”After saying that, Second Brother Jiang pointed at the one with better quality. The crown prince and the second prince giggled, grabbed one and started eating. Second Brother Jiang, on the other hand, sat on the swing on the sleeping net, ready to see how happy they were.
After the monster hunters were driven away, they would definitely think about how to deal with the beasts to the greatest extent. Second Brother Jiang was watching the people around him quietly. The mutated tiger flood dragon had returned. As long as Mianchi City set up a Black Grade Sixth Grade array to protect these beasts, rumors of humans colluding with beasts would soon spread. Who would be the scapegoat then? He definitely couldn't let himself be the scapegoat. He had to find a large sect that could take the blame! How to make that sect take the blame was the most important thing they had to do next.
"Second Brother Jiang, have you prepared everything? Only the Clan of Jie and the Clan of Chan had level-six Black Grade magic formations in Zhaoge. If they wanted the people of the Clan of Jie to be involved in this matter, they had to buy one from the Clan of Jie.”Second Brother Jiang saw the mutated tiger flood dragon leisurely sitting at the side and sipping tea. He was munching on melon seeds. He only asked one question before he immediately turned to speak to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Shen Country."This is easy to handle. Jie School teaches everyone regardless of their background. There are already many beast cultivators who came to learn the Black Grade Rank 6 Great Confounding Array. They took the Black Grade Soul Refining Pill you gave them. As long as they were handled properly, it would be very easy.”The second prince smiled slightly. It was funny that they thought that this Black Grade Soul Refining Pill was something good and forced them to provide a portion every once in a while.
To put it bluntly, this Black Grade Soul Refining Pill could increase the speed at which an expert absorbed spiritual energy for a certain period of time, especially when using the Black Grade Sixth Grade Great Confounding Formation. Because they would not absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, they could only consume their own spiritual energy reserves. The speed at which each expert absorbed spiritual energy was different. The consumption was fast and the absorption was slow. If they were to fight with their lives on the line, they would not have enough spiritual energy and could only burn their lives.
Which expert would not hesitate to risk their lives? Therefore, when the Black Grade Soul Refining Pill that could increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy appeared, those experts went crazy. In fact, in the correct sense, this Mysterious Grade Soul Refining Pill was used to control people. It was like a drug. After experiencing the feeling of quickly absorbing spiritual energy, one would never forget it or quit it. From then on, one would rely on the magical effect of this pill. Slowly, it would develop into a situation where without the Mysterious Grade Soul Refining Pill, one would not even be able to absorb spiritual energy. In this way, wouldn't the expert become a cripple?
For the past half a year, those experts who had learned the Mysterious Grade Sixth Grade Great Confounding Formation had basically all taken the Mysterious Grade Soul Refining Pill as if it was a spirit pill. They had been taking one a month for almost half a year. After more than a year, the consumption would become two pills a month, or even more. The two alchemists, Second Brother Jiang and Shen Jiang, could produce enough pills for 1,000 masters for a month. Therefore, they didn't have to worry about the supply not meeting the demand. Besides, they would have a steady and generous income. They wouldn't be short of money when they planned to build the territory given by Qiongqi, the forbidden land of Zhaoge!
The first prince clapped his hands and immediately moved his head to the second prince. The tiger dragon was lying down and munching on melon seeds, Shen Jiang was happily packing up herbs to make medicine, and the Crown Prince of Shen was still calmly packing up the information he had in his hands, hoping to get a clear picture of all the forces in Chaoge.
"Brother, let's not discuss it anymore. We can eat now.”Ever since Shen Jiang, the Third Princess, joined this group, she had taken over Second Brother Jiang's cooking job. To be honest, even if she was a little tired, she would not want Second Brother Jiang to cook for other men. Of course, no one knew about her thoughts. "Alright, I'm coming." Second Brother Jiang nodded and patted the shoulders of the two princes. They walked towards the dining table together." Aiya, Princess Shen Jiang, your cooking is getting better and better.”
"That's because you taught me well. Hurry up and sit down.”Shen Jiang smiled and pulled out the chair. He then placed a pair of chopsticks in Second Brother Jiang's hands. They were like a married couple who had been together for a lifetime. Their every move was casual and casual. The eyes of the Crown Prince of Shen Country flashed. When he looked at Second Brother Jiang, there was a sense of pressure. Second Brother Jiang's face turned pale. He looked at the direction of the Shen Crown Prince without batting an eyelid and frowned slightly. However, the Second Prince did not give Second Brother Jiang a chance to think. He pressed down with his pressure and pressed him to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jiang looked at Second Brother Jiang's sudden fall in shock.""I'm fine. Maybe I was just tired.”Second Brother Jiang smiled bitterly. Who asked him to have such a low cultivation level? Shen Jiang didn't believe it. How could an expert be so tired after eating a meal? However, the two princes were only targeting Second Brother Jiang. At this stage, Second Brother Jiang was still unable to detect it. The Tiger Flood Dragon looked at Second Brother Jiang in surprise. It wouldn't go against Second Brother Jiang who had such a low cultivation base for no reason. Could it be that Second Brother Jiang was really a powerful competitor?
"Come here, let me take a look." Shen Jiang was worried. He pulled Second Brother Jiang's hand and injected his vital essence into his arm. He slowly checked Second Brother Jiang's body along his meridians. The Crown Prince of Shen Country and the mutated tiger flood dragon looked at each other and saw the seriousness in their eyes. His actions just now were more like a test than a target. Shen Jiang really valued Second Brother Jiang. Second Brother Jiang's unguarded actions showed how much he trusted Shen Jiang.
The two of them silently lowered their heads and picked up the dishes in front of them, slowly eating. Shen Jiang looked at Second Brother Jiang worriedly.""Second Brother Jiang, are you alright?" "Yeah, Second Brother Jiang, are you okay?”The second prince was also a little worried. Because he had to deliver the medicine, the second prince had been running back and forth between Shen Country and Nandi. It was hard to guarantee that he would not meet some people with ill intentions. They were not by his side. If he was injured or something, he might really hold it in and not say it.
Second Brother Jiang looked around and didn't find anything wrong. He shook his head in confusion."Nothing? Why did you fall?" "Brother, I told you that my Second Brother Jiang is fine. Why are you so nervous? Come, try this dish. How much have you learned?" Princess Shen Jiang sighed softly and spoke with a doting tone. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour beast tenderloin and brought it to Second Brother Jiang's mouth. She raised her chin and gestured for Second Brother Jiang to open his mouth.
Second Brother Jiang didn't pay attention to it either. He opened his mouth and took a bite. Then, he smacked his lips and nodded in satisfaction."Not bad, not bad. My princess has grown up. The more delicious it is, the better.”"Then eat more." The princess pushed Second Brother Jiang to sit beside her provocatively. She picked up a piece of white cut meat and put it in Second Brother Jiang's mouth. The fragrant and tender beastie meat didn't give him any face, leaving a long line of grease on the corner of Second Brother Jiang's mouth.
"I'm sorry, this princess was too careless.”Shen Jiang said in annoyance. He picked up a white silk handkerchief and gently raised it to Second Brother Jiang's mouth to help him wipe it. If everything that had happened before was done casually, then this time, even the dumbest person could see that something was wrong."Cough cough cough…I'm fine, I'll do it myself.”Second Brother Jiang's ears turned red. What was Princess Shen Jiang doing? Although he hoped that this would be the case, it would not be to the extent of developing a relationship with her so quickly, right?
" Uh…" The princess lowered her head in a panic, grabbed her bowl, and ate two mouthfuls to hide it. Her ears, which were even redder than Second Brother Jiang's, betrayed her. It was as if she had done those things out of her control. However, when Second Brother Jiang realized what was going on, he was embarrassed. His Shen Jiang was embarrassed!
Alright, that was what Second Brother Jiang understood. No matter what the others thought, Second Brother Jiang's heart was indeed thumping intensely. He was moved by the princess's innocent look. After that, the entire meal was spent in extreme depression. Second Brother Jiang and the others put away everything and prepared to go to the Lu Kingdom. Since there was news about the Jiang Clan, he planned to go and receive them personally. Therefore, he had to separate from the Second Prince and the others and go in the direction of the Lu Kingdom.
"Shen Jiang, I thought for a while and decided that we should go together. The Jiang Clan is much more important than those messy things.”After the Crown Prince of Shen got the result he wanted, he canceled his plan to go to Zhaoge to cause trouble. Instead, he planned to go to the Lu Kingdom with Second Brother Jiang to pick up the Jiang Family's survivors.
The mutated tiger dragon nodded." That's right. We should go and see those banished people who haven't been silenced yet."”Second Brother Jiang didn't want them to go with him. How could the Crown Prince and the Second Prince allow such a dangerous thing to happen by Princess Shen Jiang's side? After today's actions, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Second Brother Jiang was in line with Sister Shen Jiang's wishes.
"Yeah, let's go together. I've already sent Feiyi Monster King to gather with the Scale Tribe's beasts. I believe that with him there, there won't be any problems.”Shen Jiang did not know why.
There were not many old ministers of the Lu Kingdom who followed Second Brother Jiang to the Forbidden Land of Zhaoge. There were less than 10,000 of them. The rest of them did not dare to bring them along. They might become Second Uncle's spies and harm their own people. Dragon-Whisker Tiger had already gathered his men, so Second Brother Jiang teleported to Zhaoge Forbidden Zone as soon as he arrived. After settling his family, Second Brother Jiang began his plan to turn the tables.
After entering Zhaoge, Shen Jiang spent some money to buy an official position for Second Brother Jiang. With the support of the Shen Country's princess, it seemed that good days were coming! However, Chaoge didn't buy it. Emperor Xin was in charge of the imperial examination, and he didn't promote anyone from the noble family. Everything depended on his own ability. He was the first person in China to take the imperial examination. The imperial examination back then wasn't as complicated as the college entrance examination now. If you win, you go. If you lose, you leave. Only talent is used. This is the most primitive imperial examination. Strength is the most important. Moreover, there would be a major exam every five years and a minor exam every three years. Those with good results would be given priority! This reform seemed to be only applicable to the disciples of the poor, and the children of the nobles could not compare to it. Therefore, many princes and ministers of the current dynasty complained about their children! Under Di Xin's powerful pressure, these nagging words were useless!
Of course, Emperor Xin's reform was not only based on talent, but also on merit. As long as one made great contributions, they could become an official. Those who lived like corpses were forced to retire. Even if they were still in power, they did not have a good expression to be seen by those who were just doing soy sauce. On the other hand, Second Brother Jiang's cultivation was not that great, but he had made great contributions by taking in two Daemon King level beasts! In ancient times, wars between countries were relatively rare. Most of them were wars between humans and beasts. Therefore, for thousands of years, the emperor's military exercises were carried out in the form of hunting. In this beast tide, the second son of the Jiang family had made a first-class contribution. After being recommended by the demon hunting camp, he was given a small official position.
Second Brother Jiang sighed. His fiancée had spent so much money to build a relationship with him and wanted to get an official position for him. However, she could not do anything under Emperor Xin's high-handed policy. Instead, she had failed to get what she wanted. He had wanted to set up a stall to sell some meat and pills, but Emperor Xin had asked him to be an official. He even showed off his achievements in Zhaoge to impress the commoners. Emperor Xin would always remember those who had made contributions to the Great Shang Empire.
"Do you have a way to pacify the Dongyi bandits?”Before she saw Di Xin, she heard a voice coming from the hall. Second Brother Jiang, who was late for work, sneaked in. The onlookers didn't dare to respond and immediately bowed. The ministers did not dare to stand up when they heard the voice. They just knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads." If there's no other way, kneel here for a day. I'm not feeding you people who only care about idle food."”Emperor Xin said angrily. At this moment, Second Brother Jiang, who had sneaked in sneakily, was still leaning against the door of the hall. He immediately stood up and said,"Reporting to the emperor, this minister has a way, but this minister's official position is small, I don't know if this method will work?”Although he was despicable, his voice was very confident.
Seeing that someone had stood up, Di Xin was very happy. He immediately asked Second Brother Jiang to answer while the others remained kneeling and listened carefully, not daring to make a sound. "Minister Jiang, according to the response of the Demon Hunting Camp, your formation in the beast tide is not bad. If it can be used on the battlefield, those Dongyi people will be killed! I have high hopes for you. Tell me what method you have.”Di Xin was very excited. So there were still capable people in the imperial court. These old foxes had been in the lawsuit for a long time and could no longer remember how they started out. They were still new and had some responsibility.
Second Elder Jiang bowed and said," I don't like to talk nonsense, and I'm uncultured. I'm just a fool. I don't dare to openly comment on the policy. I only hope that Your Majesty will give me 2,000 soldiers. If I can't deal with the Dongyi bandits, I'm willing to be punished."”Emperor Xin nodded." Minister Jiang, you are right. In that case, I will ask the Ministry of War to allocate 3,000 soldiers to you. I hope you can help the empire pacify the Dongyi bandits as soon as possible. It has been two years since you paid the annual tribute!”
Second Brother Jiang had asked for 2,000 soldiers, but Di Xin thought that it was not enough and added another 1,000 soldiers. The addition of 1,000 soldiers was beyond Second Lord Jiang's expectations. If Second Lord Jiang knew that Emperor Xin had sent out hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he would be shocked. He might be worried that he was too young and inexperienced, so he asked him to practice with these 3,000 soldiers. After all, he didn't ask for much! Back then, his teacher, Grand Preceptor Wen, had used 500,000 to pacify the Northern Barbarians. However, he had lost all of his assets. All of his good sons had died on the battlefield. The Great Shang Empire was lacking in manpower, which prompted Emperor Xin to encourage childbirth. Every man had two wives, and those who didn't want to marry had to be beaten!
"Since the Emperor is so kind, I, Jiang Ziya, will definitely do my best to suppress the Dongyi rebellion.”The coldness in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute seemed to have improved a lot. After Second Brother Jiang accepted this matter, the entire Hall of Heaven's Tribute seemed to have warmed up a little.
As soon as they left the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, the eunuch stopped Second Brother Jiang. Emperor Xin was very worried that Second Brother Jiang was acting on impulse. Although there were not many men in Great Shang, they were still meat. It would be strange if he did not feel sad if he lost the bet! Therefore, he called back Second Brother Jiang." Since I ascended the throne, Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi are all restless. Why do I always want to go to Dongyi? And every time, they would fight to the death with Dongyi as the center?”
