Li Jing was the commander of the Chentang Pass. His three sons were serving the Zhou Army. He had a lot to do with Chanism. The reward that the Zhou Nation gave him naturally could not be low.
Under Yang Jian's suggestion, Li Jing was made the deputy commander of the Zhou Nation's troops. He was in charge of the mobilization of the Zhou Nation's troops with King Wucheng. His status in the army was only second to Yang Jian and Huang Feihu. It was really preferential treatment.
It was not that Nangong Shi, San Yisheng, Ming Yao, and the other old officials were not valued. However, they knew that they could not compare to Yang Jian, Huang Feihu, Li Jing, and the others in any aspect. To be able to be placed in an important position by Yang Jian, be it in the army or political affairs, he had already given them enough respect.
When Li Jing entered the Zhou Nation, the luck of the Zhou Nation became more and more prosperous. However, Yang Jian had no choice but to keep something on his mind.
The Jiang Residence that had been moved away from Chaoge City …
Due to the outbreak of the plague in Chaoge City, Yang Jian could not divert his attention to consider that matter. He could only send Mu Zha to Chaoge City to investigate about the Jiang Residence.
However, Muzha did not bring back any useful news. The mortals did not know what had happened, but one of the cultivators hiding in Chaoge City said that a huge hand had fallen from the sky and directly uprooted the Jiang Manor. No one knew where it was grabbing.
It was most likely that the immortals of Jie School had done it.
It was even very likely that Lu Yue and the others, who had spread the plague in the Zhou Capital, had kidnapped Jiang Shang's family.
Yang Jian felt a little guilty in his heart. He should have implicated Jiang Shang in this matter. He was afraid that Liu Sun and Wen Shu would swagger to the Jiang Manor to look for Yang Jian. Yang Jian didn't think too much at the time and directly brought Jiang Shang to walk around in Zhaoge City.
Jiang Shang was the first person to become a god. His identity was complicated and sensitive. At that time, Yang Jian was only thinking about how to deal with Ju Liusun's censure. He did not realize that after they left Chaoge City, Jiang Shang and Rou 'er could not protect themselves in front of the immortals of Jie School …
It had been more than half a month since Jiang Shang's disappearance. No one had seen him, no one knew what had happened to him.
After thinking about it, Yang Jian saw that the Zhou Nation was gradually stabilizing. With Li Jing guarding the Zhou Capital, he had the thought of searching for and rescuing Jiang Shang and Rou 'er.
The other party probably didn't kill Jiang Shang's entire family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken away the entire mansion that day. Instead, they would have smashed the entire mansion with a single slap.
"Prime Minister, Commander Li has arrived."
"Mm, let him in." Yang Jian collected his thoughts and sat on the armchair. There was always a faint aura of authority around him.
Li Jing entered the study and bowed to Yang Jian. "Greetings, Prime Minister."
"There's no need to be so polite, Commander Li. Have a seat. I'll be going out for a while and I have something to entrust to you."
"Yes." Li Jing was dressed in armor. His bearing was calm and his gaze was calm. He sat at the side and waited quietly for Yang Jian to speak.
"Commander Li, you must already know that the immortals of Jie School planted a plague in the city previously. Although we dealt with it in time, hundreds of thousands of people died."
"There's no conclusion to this matter. Perhaps it was not done by the immortals of Jie School." Li Jing pondered for a while. "Prime Minister, you shouldn't think that way. If you are wary of the wrong enemy, I'm afraid it will cause another disaster."
Yang Jian smiled and nodded. "I was indeed not considerate. That's right. Perhaps it might not be the immortals of Jie School who did it. That's what I want to entrust you with. What countermeasures do you have, Commander Li? "
Li Jing pondered for a while and said, "There's no good plan. We can only send troops to guard the various drinking places in the city and the canals outside the city."
"The Water Division is in charge of the city's water. A total of tens of thousands of mortals have been working for this matter. They have led water into the canals and delivered it to thousands of households in the city," Yang Jian explained simply. "Commander Li, you can ask the Water Division about the details. However, the most basic thing is the underground water system. I've put the immortal medicine from Senior Shennong in the water. Actually, there's no need to worry. "
Li Jing nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
Clearly, if he was in charge of monitoring the water supply of the capital … it would be a tiring and useless job.
"What I'm worried about is that the other party will attack the military camp," Yang Jian said softly, causing Li Jing to be worried again.
The ones who died last time were servants and commoners. If the other party spread the plague into the Zhou Army's camp without anyone noticing and lost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Zhou Army, their expedition to the east would be greatly delayed.
Li Jing said, "There are more than four million troops stationed in various places in the Zhou Nation. The most elite troops are all gathered at the eastern border. There are many generals guarding them. They should be fine."
"It's still not safe." Yang Jian shook his head. "Nezha and Tianhua are too young. Although General Nangong Shi is mature, he does not have any cultivation level. Commander Li, why don't you go there and guard for a few days? "
"Prime Minister, if you want to dispatch me, just say so," Li Jing said with a smile. Clearly, he felt that Yang Jian was too polite.
However, he did not know that Yang Jian was doing it on purpose. He wanted Li Jing to understand what he had done in the past and what his focus was.
It was better to prevent trouble before it happened.
After chatting with Li Jing for an hour, Yang Jian sent Li Jing out of the residence. Li Jing rode a cloud and flew to the east. He did not even greet his family.
Then, Yang Jian summoned the Six Friends of the Plum Mountain and instructed them not to keep staring at the plum blossom in the backyard. They patrolled the city every day and their spiritual senses enveloped the various parts of the Zhou Capital. If there were any abnormalities, they would immediately remind the mortals and respond.
Apart from that, Yang Jian also specially instructed Ao Xinke. The couple spent half a day together before Yang Jian embarked on a journey to save Jiang Shang.
Where was Jiang Shang captured?
According to Ao Xinke's deduction, Jiang Shang was in the southeast. Yang Jian set off from the Zhou Capital and headed southeast to search.
Southeast … Could it be that he was captured and brought to Golden Ao Island?
If that was the case, Yang Jian could only give up. That was the Saint's Daoist site. He did not dare to be impudent.
Flying to the South Ocean, Yang Jian did not find anything suspicious. Instead, he found a few hidden great demons in the great river in the south of the South Continent. He killed them casually, which could be considered a blessing to the land.
Yang Jian continued flying southeast in the South Ocean. He passed dozens of islands along the way and was about to reach the sea area 15,000 kilometers away from Golden Ao Island. Yang Jian could only stop and turn back to search again.
He still found nothing.
The five continents of the Primordial World were so huge. If he wanted to search inch by inch, it would take Yang Jian a few months. He could afford to delay it, but the God-Conferment Battle and the Zhou Nation could not.
Should I just ignore Jiang Shang?
Yang Jian hesitated a little. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should turn back, a jade talisman flew over from the north and shot straight at Yang Jian.
He raised his hand and blocked the jade talisman. Before Yang Jian could check it, the jade talisman exploded and a voice transmission entered Yang Jian's ears.
"Jiang Shang is imprisoned in the south of the South Ocean. The place where he is imprisoned is trapped by an array formation. It is actually a trap and a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If you appear, the Zhou Army will definitely suffer a calamity."
Yang Jian could not help but be stunned.
Who sent me a message? Is it an enemy or a friend?
Yang Jian thought for a while and turned around to continue flying in the northwest direction. He was deep in thought.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain …
It seemed that Yang Jian's guess was right. Lu Yue really wanted to kill the Zhou Army camp. Did he kidnap Jiang Shang to lure me away from Xiqi so that they could do what they wanted?
Was this jade talisman so trustworthy?
Yang Jian felt that the voice that entered his ears was more or less familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.
Yang Jian deliberately ignored the news given by the jade talisman. He pretended that he had followed his wife's instructions and went to the South Ocean to search. However, he found nothing and went straight back to the Zhou Capital.
Ao Xinke was a little surprised that he had returned after leaving for half a day.
"Husband, have you not found Jiang Shang?"
"That's right." Yang Jian sighed and said, "I'm almost at Golden Ao Island, but I still can't find any traces of Jiang Shang. I can only turn back."
Ao Xinke frowned slightly and took out the tortoiseshell copper coin. She was about to help Yang Jian deduce again.
Yang Jian waited at the side for a while. Ao Xinke raised her head again after being busy for a while.
"According to the divination, the person you're looking for is in the southeast … It's the same as last time."
Yang Jian pondered for a while and said, "I'll go to the southeast again."
Ao Xinke suddenly said, "Husband, I made a robe for you. Why don't you try it?"
"Thank you, Madam."
"It's what I should do." Ao Xinke chuckled and got up to snuggle in Yang Jian's arms. She went straight into the inner court.
Yang Jian undressed and seemed to be suddenly interested. He carried Ao Xinke to the bed and waved his hand to wrap the attic with Xuanqi …
Half a day later, Yang Jian left the residence again and flew southeast. He flew into the South Ocean again and began to search randomly.
After one day and one night, Yang Jian could only give up and turned to return to West Qi.
Swoosh —
Another jade talisman came from the southeast and was caught by Yang Jian. This time, the jade talisman was an ordinary communication jade talisman. A line of small words appeared on the jade talisman.
"From here to the south, Lu Yue of Golden Ao Island awaits Perfected Lord Erlang's fight. If the perfected lord does not come in half a day, no one in the Jiang Residence will survive."
This jade talisman …
Yang Jian stood there for a long time and gently crushed the jade talisman. He took a deep breath and used the transformation technique. He turned into a skylark and flew straight to the south.
Sixty thousand miles seemed to be very fast.
In a jungle on the coast of the South Ocean, a few figures wrapped in black robes were entangled with their divine senses and talking telepathically.
"He used the transformation technique, so it must be his original body. Hmph, this Yang Jian boasted about being resourceful, but he still fell into our trap."
"Let the people of Mount Qi prepare to take action. As soon as Yang Jian enters the array, let them spread poison on the tower! Yang Jian's wife is also a Sage-to-be, but don't be afraid of her. When the time comes, someone will take action. "
"Okay, I'll go first."
"Brother Shen, please. We still have to see Yang Jian enter the array before we can rest assured."
"In that case, I'll wait for a while."
The few figures stopped moving and stood in the forest like dead trees.
In the south of the South Ocean, Yang Jian's divine senses swept all the way and finally saw a lonely island on the edge of the South Ocean. There was another 'island' in the middle of the island. Wasn't it the Jiang Residence that disappeared into thin air in Zhaoge City?
It was indeed here.
Without hesitation, Yang Jian immediately moved forward. Layers of thick fog spread in front of him. Yang Jian paused for a while and then went into the fog.
"He entered the array!"
