When Cao Jie was chosen as the leader of the team, Jiang Wang decided to go to Xingyue Plain in advance.
The Fiery Bone Lotus was one of his trump cards. He couldn't give it up. He wasn't arrogant enough to think that he would be number one in the world. Besides, he could use this opportunity to ask Senior Guan Yan for advice.
The more he learned, the more confident he would be.
His current mentality was …
He had the confidence to be number one in the world, and he would do his best to fight for it. But he also accepted the possibility of failure.
Those who could participate in the Gathering of the Yellow River, which one of them wasn't the strongest among tens of thousands of people? Who among them wasn't Tianjiao?
There was no such thing as destiny.
Even in the Great Illusionary Land, he would sometimes lose to Swordsman Ning.
The so-called victory and defeat …
After standing on the River-Viewing Platform, the loser would fall, and the winner would continue to stand. It was that simple.
He was determined to walk on his own path. He had lived up to his expectations. He had defeated one opponent after another, one expert after another. He had reason to believe that he could become number one in the world!
This was confidence.
He felt that he didn't need to care about anyone and would easily take first place without making any preparations … This was arrogance.
Of course, some people might have the right to be arrogant.
But at least Jiang Wang didn't think he did.
Cao Jie, who controlled the Army of Death in Spring, was undoubtedly one of the truly important people in Linzi City.
Jiang Wang didn't know this important person at all, nor did he have any way to get in touch with him before leaving.
Speaking of which, he did have some friends in Linzi, but they were all second generation nobles. They were a generation below a truly important person like Cao Jie. It wasn't worth it even if he went through all the trouble to find Cao Jie.
As for whether Qi's team would stop on the way to the Yellow River Gathering and wait with him for a night in Xingyue Plain?
If he explained the whole story, it might be possible.
But he didn't want to reveal too much about Xingyue Plain, Guan Yan, and the Fiery Bone Lotus.
Especially Master Guan Yan. He had even severed his karma with the Xuankong Temple. Obviously, he had no intention of stepping into the world. If he really wanted the world to know him, there were plenty of people in the Xuankong Temple who could help him. Jiang Wang didn't need to advertise him here.
Jiang Wang was indebted to him, so of course he wouldn't act on his own.
However, going to Xingyue Plain at this time was a little tricky.
The Battle of the Yellow River was about to begin, and the aftermath of the battle in Pingdeng Country had yet to be settled …
Jiang Wang had planned to come and go quietly without alerting anyone. He would come back when his astral power was full. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
After discussing with Chung Geng Sheng, the fatty's suggestion was very simple.
Before Jiang Wang set off, he just needed to report to the Commandant of the Northern Yamen, Zheng Shi.
The more he thought about it, the better it sounded.
Reporting to the Capital Patrol Manor and reporting to the Northern Yamen Commandant Zheng Shi were two different matters.
The former had many eyes and ears, while the latter … was Zheng Shangming's father.
Reporting to Zheng Shi was equivalent to reporting to the Capital City's Patrol Manor. In that case, there wouldn't be any problems with the name of this trip.
As for whether or not this news should be spread in a small circle, it would depend on how Zheng Shi weighed the pros and cons.
Now that Jiang Wang had intercepted Cui Ju at the Master's Ceremony, the Pingping State, which had already surfaced, might be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. They had been hit by the Qi Ting one after another, so they probably needed to do something to strengthen the hearts of the people in the organization.
If the Pingping State had this plan …
With the Capital City's Patrol Manor's means, it shouldn't be too difficult to turn Jiang Wang's departure into an operation to lure the snake out of its hole.
In other words, if Jiang Wang followed Chung Geng Sheng's suggestion and reported to Zheng Shi that he was going to Xingyue Plain, not only would he not use up Zheng Shi's favor, but he would also be doing Zheng Shi a favor.
Moreover, this could also ensure Jiang Wang's own safety, and at the same time, he could accumulate astral power without being affected!
He had to admit that Chung Geng Sheng's fat really didn't go to waste.
Xu Xiangqian said behind his back that his fat probably matched his brain … Jiang Wang didn't think it was completely unreasonable.
It couldn't be easier to report to Zheng Shi. Although this Northern Yamen Commandant was also one of the powerful figures in Linzi, it was difficult to get close to him.
But our Lord Jiang only needed to go through Zheng Shangming.
On second thought, through Chung Geng Sheng, he could also get in touch with Chongxuan Chu Liang at any time, and through Yan Fu, he could get in touch with the former Prime Minister Yan Ping …
In this way, it seemed that the circle wasn't bad.
But did Cao Jie have any children?
Of course, jokes aside, he still had to do it himself.
Through Zheng Shangming, Jiang Wang told Zheng Shi that due to the special nature of his cultivation method, he needed to go to Xingyue Plain to accumulate astral power. Speaking of which, this was also to prepare for the Battle of the Yellow River … It was reasonable.
Then that night, he put on a cloak and a black robe and quietly left Linzi under the cover of the night.
He didn't forget to enter the Great Illusionary Land and write a letter to Swordsman Ning, informing him that he was busy these few days and couldn't come to spar. He said some courteous words of regret and so on.
That was all.
Although he said that he was going to keep a low profile, he still had to go to Qingyang Town to have a look.
He had been under the watchful eye of the Patrol Manor in the capital city this entire time. Of course, he had to return to his fief along the way. In particular, he needed to take a look at the Hall of Integrity that he had ordered people to build. This was to emphasize his sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Qi.
At the same time, he could secretly observe whether Fan Qingqing was serious or not. Although he had already judged that there was no problem, it was not a bad thing to observe more.
Because of the eyes on him, Jiang Wang didn't expose his disguise. He didn't know how the experts from the inspection office in the capital were watching him, but they must be watching him. Some things should be hidden as much as possible.
Fortunately, after he developed the immortal state, his research on the voice of the Dreamlike Token was better than Fan Qingqing's. It was not difficult for him to not be discovered by Fan Qingqing when he was scheming against the unsuspecting.
In fact, Qingyang Town was developing very well now.
Jiang Wang was getting more and more famous, and he had more and more friends in Qi. The business of the Desheng Trading Company was getting better and better. After such a long time of practice, Dugu Xiaoxiao could handle the town affairs well. Now, Fan Qingqing was seriously assisting her.
The Zhengsheng Hall was almost finished. Fan Qingqing was obviously a smart person and knew what she should do.
From Jiang Wang's secret observation, she didn't have any evil thoughts and was fulfilling her duties. But then again, even if she had some evil thoughts, Dugu Xiaoke would not be so easily fooled.
Although Dugu Xiaoke's road to Transcendent Being was guided by Zhu Biqiong at the beginning, Dugu Xiaoke was not Zhu Biqiong.
She understood the cruelty of the world long ago.
Of course, the current Zhu Biqiong was not the Zhu Biqiong of the past.
Along the way, many people and many things were changing.
Even Fang Qian, who was lying dead every day, was now in high spirits and trying his sword to the world.
In fact, no one knew whether these changes were good or bad.
But there was one thing. The life of the people in Qingyang Town was getting better and better, which was definitely a good thing.
As the lord of this fief, Jiang Wang did not ask for anything extra. In fact, just this alone was enough for the people to live and work in peace. Not to mention the vitality that the Desheng Trading Company brought to this place, and the Rizhao Prefecture Governor took care of this place for Jiang Qingyang's sake.
After such a long time of development, Qingyang Town was now a famous and wealthy town in the Yang Land. Many people racked their brains to move here, but they were blocked by the system.
Jiang Wang did not show up, but quietly left this place.
From his observation of the Yang Land this time, this land had completely integrated into the Qi Land, and there were many more figures of ordinary people walking in the countryside.
The people of Dangyang were Qi people, and their lives were indeed better.
It probably wouldn't be long before the temporary position of the Governor of the Three Prefectures in the Yang Land could be changed to that of the Prefectural Governor.
This was a good thing for Tian Antai, Huang Yixing, and Gao Shaoling. During this period of time when they were in charge of the Yang Land, they had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Compared to Tian Antai and Gao Shaoling who had the support of their families, Huang Yixing's position was actually more stable. After all, as an official who surrendered to the Yang Land, he was a great comfort to the people of the Yang Land.
However, the former two could run their prefectures as their foundations, but it was almost impossible for Huang Yixing to become a new official of the Qi Land. At least in his generation, if he did not have outstanding achievements, he would definitely not have a chance.
…
…
Xingyue Plain was between the Xiang Land and the Xu Land. From the Qi Land, one could directly cross the Xu Land.
After the Xu Land was destroyed, the Nine Sunrise Land was once famous in the Eastern Region. After a few expeditions, only the Yang, Zhao, Chang, and Xu Land were left.
After the Yang Land was destroyed, the Four Sunrise Land became the Three Sunrise Land. The people of the Xu Land were very obedient, and they were very respectful to the Overlord Land. If Jiang Wang revealed his identity, there would be a lot of flattery. Something like being yelled at by the City Guard Army before would definitely not happen again …
However, Jiang Wang did not care about this, so he still kept a low profile.
If it was not necessary, he did not want to flaunt his power.
Before Zhang Yong died, he said to Jiang Wang, "Maybe I should kill you while I'm in the state of destruction."
This meant that within the Pingdeng Land, there was definitely hostility towards Jiang Wang. It was just that Zhang Yong himself did not want to do it.
He blocked Cui Ju's path, and to a large extent, reduced the influence of Cui Ju's assassination case, and did not let the Qi Emperor make a decision in a rage. Such a mighty ruler, even if he knew that he had made a wrong decision, he would probably not turn back …
Therefore, Jiang Wang's departure from the Qi Land this time might cause the Pingdeng Land to retaliate — if the Inspection Office in the capital did the right thing.
Strictly speaking, since Jiang Wang had already reported in advance, this trip was not very dangerous. On the eve of the Yellow River Meeting, even if the Inspection Office in the capital decided to use Jiang Wang as bait, they would definitely provide enough protection.
Otherwise, if the Qi Emperor questioned them, who would be able to bear the responsibility?
For the three battles of the Yellow River Meeting, a powerful country like the Qi Land could not be absent, and they had to fight for the first place in all the battles. If something happened to Jiang Wang, would the Qi Emperor have to choose another person to participate in the battles?
He had gone to the Hot Spring Palace and the General Appointment Stage, but now he was gone …
It would be a light punishment to peel off a layer of skin.
From now until the start of the Yellow River Meeting, it could be said that these Tianjiao Land were the most precious people in the Qi Land. Their reasonable requests would all be fulfilled.
At this critical juncture of preparing for the Yellow River Meeting, perhaps the contestants should just stay in Linzi. That would be the best choice.
However, if these Tianjiao Land wanted to be more prepared and have more experience, who could stop them?
Jiang Wang only came to Xingyue Land and stayed for a few nights before going back.
On the other hand, Ji Zhaonan had also left the sea and said that he was going to the Maze World to sharpen his spear, but no one stopped him.
They were Tianjiao Land. They were warriors, not prisoners.
Of course, among the three people participating in the Yellow River Meeting, only Jung Genzun stayed in his residence to cultivate.
Even with Chung Geng Sheng's wisdom, he did not think that this trip would be dangerous, so there should not be a big problem.
In fact, Chung Geng Sheng thought that as long as the Pingdeng Country was smart, they would not take the bait. No matter how good the acting of the patrol office in the capital was, this bait was too straightforward.
If he flew straight, with Jiang Wang's current speed, he could reach Xingyue Land within a day. However, in order to "hide his tracks", he walked for three days.
If he wanted to fly unimpeded in the Xu Country, it was impossible for him to not show the name of the Tianjiao Land of Da Qi Land.
Jiang Wang was already very used to things like hurrying on the road.
It was nothing more than traveling, cultivating, traveling, cultivating …
It was very normal.
However, in the eyes of those who "watched" him in a certain way, every little thing that happened in these three days was really moving.
Outside Xingyue Land, on a nameless hill.
The formation plate placed quietly on the ground covered its tracks very well.
In the range of the formation plate, a square-faced man with white hair on his temples asked, "How is it?"
At this time, he was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, holding a compass inlaid with jade stars in his hand. He looked very serious, but he did not care about his image at this time.
When he asked the question, his eyes were still looking at the compass.
The person he asked was thin and had very high cheekbones. He was standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with bright eyes.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "He has the talent that Doctor Yi and Lord Xiong Tu praised, and he is willing to work hard. If Jiang Qingyang can't be famous in the world … then it is really not right. "
The person standing was Li Yougui, a third-grade Blue Medal holder from the patrol office in the capital. He had met Jiang Wang outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple before, and was invited by Ma Xiong to investigate the clues in the Nine Return Temple.
The person seated there was naturally the renowned God Arrester, Yue Leng.
He had already retired two years ago and was promoted to a rank one official. However, he supported the work of the current patrol officer, Zheng Shi, and occasionally participated in the operations of the patrol office in the capital.
At first glance, when Jiang Qingyang went out alone with two cultivators from the God's Descent secretly following him, this extravagance had already surpassed all the young masters in Linzi City. It was indeed very impressive.
Yue Leng stared at the compass without blinking, and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I got him into the Blue Medal? Hmph, I heard that some people were criticizing me at that time, saying that I was hugging Junggenjia's thigh … What about now? He can go to the Yellow River Meeting, it is the glory of our Blue Medal! "
The two of them were staring at Jiang Wang, but the way they "stared" was different.
He relied on the compass and didn't leave for a moment, while Li Yougui relied on his own eyes to observe carefully from time to time.
Although it was to lure the snake out of its hole, before the Yellow River Meeting, they really couldn't let anything happen to Jiang Wang.
Li Yougui praised, "The God Arrester's vision is naturally good."
Yue Leng said casually, "At that time, the White Lanterns were fighting for …"
He suddenly shut his mouth.
Li Yougui also stopped talking.
The words "White Lanterns" seemed to be some kind of taboo. Once it was said, all words would be forbidden.
