"May I ask if there are any new arrivals here recently, including those who are wandering? Where do these guys settle down nearby?”Second Brother Jiang pondered and asked. The young woman thought for a moment." This is the official road to the west of the palace. Two miles to the left, a few new people rented a tiled house. They are so poor that they seem to have just returned from wandering. They are yellow and skinny, but there are not many families.”Hearing the beautiful woman's words, Second Brother Jiang immediately nodded and thanked her. He politely left this somewhat decent courtyard. Presumably, this Lu Chengtian and Emperor Xin Tea had not drunk it, and he had lost a lot of weight in prison due to hunger. That idiot Yin Jiao must have given him some money to let him out to find his fork, and then arranged for his old subordinates to ignore him. That was why he was in such a sorry state. This place should not be his foothold. In that case, it would not hurt to walk another two miles.
It would be midnight in a short while. It was dark, so Second Lord Jiang naturally did not dare to delay. He immediately led the ten Ming Guards and Queen Shenjiang in the direction the young woman had pointed out. Taking advantage of the forest, he could indeed see a few families. Under the moonlight, Second Brother Jiang jogged all the way to two miles away. However, there were only three families here, and they were quite far away.
"Milord, will it really be here?”the soldier behind said while panting. Second Brother Jiang didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the wooden house in front of him seriously, thinking about setting up a formation there. " Among the three houses, only the two wooden houses next to the house were newly built. According to the time, Lu Chengtian must be hiding here. If I'm not wrong, there should be an assassin here," Second Brother Jiang thought to himself.
"The two of you stay here. I'll go in and investigate personally.”Second Brother Jiang said in a low voice. A few hidden guards and light guards drank a mouthful of water and lay down under the tree beside them. They had long wanted to rest. At this time, the door of the wooden house was left ajar. Inside sat Lü Chengtian and the killer. Just now, Lü Chengtian's divine sense found Elder Jiang and the others who had changed their clothes through the window. He felt that these guys were suspicious, so he called the killer over to discuss what to do.
As he had not seen Second Brother Jiang for more than five years, Lu Chengtian did not recognize him at the moment. In addition, he had been afraid of him the moment he entered the palace. Therefore, he had been worried and afraid. Even if he did not lose weight, he had lost weight. Now, he was even more certain that these guys did not come with good intentions."Old Tan, what should we do?" Lu Chengtian asked directly.
The killer held the teacup and frowned." I have already practiced with thousands of lives. I have been through the sea! There's no harm in killing a few more. When that person comes over later, I'll be behind the door and hit that person in the head with a brick.”"I'm afraid that's not good. These guys aren't ordinary people. What if they accidentally kill another large family? Originally, he was so poor that he couldn't even fart. If he were to be hunted down by this group of inexplicable people for no reason, wouldn't he be even more restless if he were to recruit these big enemies?”Lu Chengtian was a little conflicted about this question. He had thought deeply enough.
"At this moment, it is better to kill wrongly than to be careless. A real man does things without care for details! If they were from the government, wouldn't all of us be dead?”The killer was very determined. This stupid thing only killed a few people! What was so complicated about it? It seemed that those who were used to eating good things could not become great without tempering themselves. Lu Chengtian had no choice but to follow the killer's plan. He immediately asked the killer to hide behind the door outside and wait for Second Brother Jiang to push the door open and smash him to death with a brick before dealing with his corpse.
Second Brother Jiang looked at the two bridal chambers. One of the doors was wide open and seemed to be empty, but the door facing him was not open. Second Brother Jiang was cautious, but he stood outside the door and did not go in."Is there a problem?" Second Brother Jiang was puzzled. He used his divine sense to explore and discovered the secret. The heavens just didn't want to walk into the open door. They were wasting time in front of him! After a while, he got tired of waiting. After thinking about it, he immediately turned around and went under the tree to call for a Bright Guard.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Ming Wei rubbed his eyes and said," Do you see the two houses in front? You go to the one that is not fully closed. I'll go to the one next door. Search carefully for Lu Cheng Tian."”Second Brother Jiang said in a low voice and walked to the room next door. He immediately leaned against the door and carefully observed the guard opposite him.
The guard slowly walked towards the door, then pushed it open and walked into the house. At this moment, Lu Chengtian suddenly walked out from behind the door. Before the soldier could react, he waved his brick and the guard fell. This guy was ruthless. The guard died on the spot and bled. Then, Lu Chengtian shot out a ball of true fire from his hand and instantly burned the corpse to ashes. Only some items were left behind, including a token of the palace's Ming Guard.
This was an expert at the ninth qi layer. Second Brother Jiang, who was next door, was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This attack was too ruthless. If he had gone in just now, he might have been killed by this brick. At the thought of this, although it was late spring, Second Lord Jiang was sweating profusely. Seeing the bright guards lying down, Lyu Chengtian and the killer immediately walked out of the room. They did not notice Second Lord Jiang in the next room. At this moment, Second Lord Jiang had already sent a message to Shen Jiang to gather all the bright guards and dark guards. Shen Jiang then used hand gestures to instruct these people to surround the room and set up a Xuanhuan Formation at the door. The bright guards and dark guards were all shooting seven arrows at each other. He covered his mouth and did not dare to make a sound. However, one of them did look like Lu Chengtian.
Seeing that Lu Chengtian and the other man had walked around the courtyard and found nothing unusual, Second Lord Jiang did not dare to make a sound. He did not expect that the killer would find the token from the remains of the Ming Guards and confirm that he had not killed a good person in vain. He felt disappointed."Master, this person is a guard of the palace. I killed him to save my life.”The killer said with a smile. There was nothing else in the courtyard that could be frozen, so he returned to the house.
"The Bright Guards of the palace have already discovered this matter. Prepare your things and leave at night. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long.”Lu Chengtian sighed. It seemed that the good times would not last long! As there was blood in his room, Lu Chengtian walked towards the killer's room. The killer patted his clothes and followed Lü Chengtian in. Second Brother Jiang's mind kept spinning. Just as Lü Chengtian was about to enter, Second Brother Jiang finally couldn't help but walk out from behind the door."Uncle, don't go in!" Second Brother Jiang raised his head and said loudly.
The assassin and Lu Chengtian were stunned. Seeing that no one answered, Second Brother Jiang looked up at Lu Chengtian." Uncle Chengtian, you don't recognize me?"”Second Brother Jiang said in a low voice. Although he was there when Lu Chengtian was captured alive, he was wearing a mask. Lu Chengtian looked at Second Brother Jiang carefully.""You're Second Brother Jiang from back then?" Lu Chengtian was a little puzzled, but Second Brother Jiang heaved a sigh of relief."That's me." Second Brother Jiang said in a relaxed manner. This idiot was finally trapped in the cage.
Seeing the two of them talking, the killer behind them walked over."Master, you know this idiot?”The killer had been on the run for days and asked cautiously.
"That's right, this person is Second Brother Jiang, the current King of Lu.”Lu Chengtian introduced. The killer carefully observed Second Brother Jiang." Are you Jiang Ziya, the one who wiped out Dongyi?”
Second Brother Jiang put down his teacup slightly." What a pity. The family was originally warm and cozy, but now we have to be separated from each other? Chaoge was fine in prison. Why did she want to stir up trouble? She had lost once. Was she not satisfied?”There was some helplessness in his words. Second Brother Jiang scratched his head slightly." Sigh, I'm not going to lecture you. I'm illiterate and uncultured. As for the ups and downs of the royal palace and the impermanence of the world, we're all bound together. It'll pass soon. Today, we're fighting each other and the stars are falling. It's also a good thing. From now on, the Lu Kingdom will be at peace.”Lu Chengtian listened and agreed,"There are no heroes in the world, but the boy is famous!" Back then, when the Lu Kingdom lost control, I was just waiting for the right moment to act. The people in this world were already in dire straits and were uneasy. That was why I, Lu Chengtian, came up with this plan.”"It doesn't matter if you're a big dog hero who saved the disaster victims or a difficult star who killed and robbed them. The winner takes all. What matters is who lives!”
Second Brother Jiang had a clear purpose for coming here, so he decided not to talk about these things. He took a sip of tea and changed the topic. "It's fine. The past is in the wind, and today is in the hands of fate. There are no reincarnations and no ifs. It's not good for you to continue living here today. Otherwise, the war in the Lu Kingdom will continue and the people will not be able to live.”Second Brother Jiang said slowly.
"Second Brother Jiang, are you going to work for Di Xin forever?”Lu Chengtian asked with a sigh. "Ai, now that Great Shang is riddled with holes and needs to be revived, isn't it because there are too many traitors like you? I'm just a small fry. Let's watch the times and the world. If I can help, I will do my best to help. If I don't help, I will benefit the people of the Lu Kingdom.”Second Brother Jiang sighed. "However, there are still some things that I don't understand. The capital is so big. I wonder how you knew that I was hiding here?”
"Simple! The city was tight, and you were afraid of death, so you definitely wouldn't dare to stay in the city. As for the east of the city, King Lu's east was facing the sea, so you wouldn't be able to escape if you stayed in the east of the city unless you wanted to feed the sharks! Behind the south of the city is the Lai Kingdom. Although the 500,000 troops have left the border, they have formed a grudge. If they escape, they will definitely die. You know the principle of eliminating evil. As for the north of the city, there is no future either. Although the Northern Barbarians have no enmity, they are in the desert. You are not the kind of person who can endure hardship! Therefore, only the west side of the city is your foothold. The only place in the west of the city is the ten-mile pavilion. Only that place has an inn, so this king directly found this place!”After listening to Second Brother Jiang's awesome speech, Shen Jiang's eyes were filled with admiration!
Lu Chengtian sighed." If you have such ability, you can govern the Lu Kingdom well!"”Then, Lu Chengyu calmly walked into the Xuanhuan Formation and fired his arrows.
Second Brother Jiang looked at the two killers behind Lu Chengtian. They seemed to be good too. Seeing that there was hope, the killer nodded and said,""Young Master Jiang is so talented that no one in the world can compare to him. If you don't abandon me today, I am willing to follow you. Even if I can't be an official, I won't abandon you.”These words were very lackey. Abandoning their master alive. Such people were a waste of oxygen and did not want to kill, so they let the two of them go! Although the two killers were more than ten years older than Second Brother Jiang, they felt that Second Brother Jiang was a capable person after interacting with him. Then, they left.
Second Brother Jiang released the killers and returned to the city from the outskirts of the western part of the city. One of the Ming Guards was missing. After Shen Jiang finished all the follow-up work of the Ming Guards, the family of the Ming Guards did not say anything! Second Lord Jiang brought their children into the capital. At this moment, the officials had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
He ran over to Second Elder Jiang." Minister Jiang, you're finally back. Chaoge has an edict."”Like an old friend, E Hou said straightforwardly. "What bullshit edict did Chaoge send?”Second Brother Jiang was a little confused. Marquis E did not say anything. He immediately took out a cloth that was hidden very deeply from his sleeve. There were many words written on it. The general meaning seemed to be that the important officials of the court were seriously ill and wanted to recall the three dukes and nine ministers. Then who was this awesome thing?
Lord E scratched his head and said," Jiang Feng is in a hurry. Let's go back to Zhaoge first. This powerful minister is the emperor's teacher. We can't overstep his authority."”Even people like the three dukes couldn't overstep their boundaries? Second Brother Jiang was confused!
No one knew who the surrounding people were. Who could make the three dukes think that they could not be overstepped? Below the ancient emperor were the three dukes. Who else was so important? This Emperor Xin was too unreasonable. He also felt that what the Marquis of E said was unreasonable. If this was the case, he would no longer have the chance to stay in the Lu Kingdom. Seeing Second Brother Jiang's confused expression, E Hou thought that he was hesitating. He immediately whispered into Second Brother Jiang's ear,"This person is Emperor Xin's teacher, Grand Preceptor Wen.”
Second Brother Jiang had thought that it was just a floating population like Marquis of the West and that it was not right to treat them in such a critical condition. When he heard that it was Grand Preceptor Wen, he was filled with respect and immediately ordered Queen Shenjiang to go back. Ignoring her pouting and pouting, he planned to leave the capital of the Lü Kingdom overnight and rush back to Zhaoge.
To be honest, if the Duke of E did not mention Grand Preceptor Wen, Second Brother Jiang would have thought that he was already dead. However, after thinking about it carefully, Grand Preceptor Wen did not seem to be good at being tactful. After the Shang Dynasty was unified, he went back to the countryside to fish. No one said anything about him. This was good. There was no negative news. The world was left to Emperor Xin to do whatever he wanted. After that, it was left unsettled. It was already the end of the day for Second Brother Jiang when he returned to Chaoge.
The Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was cunning. Every time Emperor Xin was calm and had nothing to do, he would panic and look for trouble. For example, he would send troops to crusade against those who did not follow him. If he wanted the four sides to submit, it would be difficult to return without war. Before the war, they were worried about being attacked from both sides. Dongyi and Nanman had surrendered not long ago, and the Northern Barbarians had become arrogant again. They were waiting to send troops to the north again. The only one who could really fight with Emperor Xin was the Ji family of the Zhou Kingdom of Xirong. If they went north, they would definitely pacify Xirong. Marquis of the West was taking the opportunity to curry favor with Emperor Xin. Otherwise, he would lose this opportunity. Once they succeeded in conquering the Northern Barbarians, they would no longer have the chance to curry favor with them. Now, if they tried to curry favor with Emperor Xin, they would be at ease after he gave Xirong some benefits. It was something that both sides were happy about. As for how to raise and explore the other party's bottom line, it would be up to Ji Yi.
Ji Yi had not seen Empress Jiang for a long time, but she did not show any signs of being unfamiliar with her. She immediately held Empress Jiang's hands and was very attentive." I was bored in the Marquis Manor, so I came to the palace to visit the Empress.”His words were very amiable. Empress Jiang was gracious. The two of them immediately walked towards the pavilion. That was a good place for them to chat. The palace maids immediately prepared tea and lined up in a row, showing Ji Yi that the great country was orderly! Looking at this grand reception, Ji Yi felt even more proud!
"What has Sister been busy with recently? He wouldn't be idle at home all day, right? If you don't come out for a walk, you'll get moldy!" Empress Jiang toasted a cup of tea and asked. Ji Yi nodded in shame,""I've been eating and drinking well at home all day, so I came out for a walk! I was originally a woman, so I didn't have much education, so I never went far away. If it wasn't for the Empress in the palace, I wouldn't have come.”Ji Yi slowly coaxed, and Empress Jiang was overjoyed with a few good words. This jumping up and down master still said that he had never gone far away. This modesty was too much!
Ji Yi said as she took out a few pieces of red jade. They were all emperor-level water type. They were dazzling red and clear. One look and one could tell that they were of the highest quality. Empress Jiang couldn't bear to part with them."This servant doesn't know whether it's good or bad. If the Empress likes it, then take it!”After a few more words of trivial matters, Ji Yi finally explained her purpose for coming." Your Majesty, although there are many toys in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, it is a little lonely. Why don't you choose a day to come to my house as a guest?" This lowly official planted a few plants there to nourish one's face and some to lose weight. These days, I'm not assured when I buy things, but the ones I grow myself are much better. Last time in the market, I saw those old maids selling rat poison. They even said that it was all natural and did not contain any natural agents. I was so worried, so I decided to grow some flowers and grass myself. It's good for beauty and beauty!”Knowing that Empress Jiang was a beauty fan, Ji Yi took the opportunity to persuade her!
Although Empress Jiang and Ji Yi were like sisters, Empress Jiang had never left Earth Peace Palace. Every time the two of them visited, Ji Yi would come and chat with them."If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not good. As the Empress, she should be the mother of the world, so it's not appropriate to leave the palace at will.”Empress Jiang said with some melancholy. She also had the intention of going out for a walk.
" The Empress has a superior body. It's fine if she wants to go to the palace. Besides, she's not going to Zhaoge, but to my sister's house. Why not? I hope the Empress will come tomorrow."”Ji Yi persuaded patiently. Empress Jiang was naturally a little swayed. Those flowers and grasses were all natural and had some endless charm. With Ji Yi urging her to do so, Empress Jiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She immediately agreed to Ji Yi's request to visit Marquis of the West the next day.
Seeing that she had succeeded, Ji Yi did not stay any longer. She added a few words about how boring the palace was and how vast the sky was outside. It was as interesting as it could be, making Empress Jiang's heart beat even faster. The servants of the Ji Manor went out to purchase goods. Ji Chang was only pacing back and forth in the courtyard, hoping that his niece, who was extremely far away, could complete the matter as soon as possible. At this moment, Ji Yi also walked into the courtyard from outside the manor.
Ji Chang heard the footsteps and immediately walked over impatiently. He looked like he was about to lose her if he was slow. When he saw his niece, it was as if he had seen his savior." My dear niece, you're finally back. How's the matter that Uncle asked you to do?"”Ji Chang asked anxiously," Empress Jiang has already promised to come to our banquet tomorrow. As for what we will say then, we need to think about it carefully. But I don't know what Uncle is thinking."”Ji Yi said calmly.
"As long as you can come to our mansion to do things, I have many ways. Tsk, if you are not bragging, how can you make Western Zhou so prosperous and make Emperor Xin so afraid?”Ji Chang said with a sharp gaze.
However, Ji Chang was indeed thinking too much. What he said was full of methods, but in fact, there were many useless methods. He had many disciples in the court, but none of them had ever thought of helping him. If the method of teaching people how to control objects was wrong, even the disciples who had been promoted for many years would despise it! Perhaps he didn't teach the right thing and led a good seedling astray. He didn't hold back on the good ones, but he held back on the bad ones. The uncle and nephew did not say anything more. They immediately mobilized all the servants and tried their best to pack up everything. They had to make Empress Jiang feel as if she was at home. The one who came tomorrow was the mother of the country.
In order to let Empress Jiang eat well, Ji Yi had also sent people to invite a few chefs from the most famous Drunken Night Restaurant in Zhaoge. They were all famous chefs from famous restaurants. For the sake of her family, Ji Yi had gone through a lot of trouble. In fact, she was not her biological uncle, and their blood relationship was very distant. Because Ji Yi was more capable than her own daughter, having such an assistant was like getting a treasure for Ji Chang.
After a busy day, the sky had just brightened when Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, got up from his bed. He wore a set of rather gorgeous clothes and even had someone specially put incense on him. He even planned to add more hormones. Ji Yi was also busy in the hall. As for the servants, almost all of them left early and returned late. You know, under such circumstances, everyone felt very aggrieved. The fewer people, the better.
