In the stone room, the black shadow was also surprised. After a while, he said, "So that's how it is … Jiang Wang is already someone else's chess piece."
The voice in the hollow said, "Therefore, the more talented he is, the more interesting it is. The faster he grows, the more dangerous he will be to Jiang Shu in the future. "
The black shadow said, "Then, we don't need to care about him in the future?"
"No, we still need to target him if we have the chance. Just don't kill him." The voice in the hollow said, "We are helping him by attacking him. We are helping him to improve and win Jiang Shu's trust."
"… I understand." The black shadow said.
"That's all. You should be quiet for a while. Don't attract attention." The voice in the hollow said.
Then, in the hollow of the stone plate, the whimpering sound of the wind sounded again.
The stone room fell silent.
…
…
Northern region grassland.
On this grassland, where the grass was the most luxuriant, where the wind and rain were the softest, where the cows and sheep were the most plump …
It was the foot of Qiong Lu Mountain, the place known as the "God's Pasture".
The powerful empire that now dominated the entire grassland had first walked out from the foot of this mountain.
Under the guidance of the great God Cang Tu, it developed from a small tribe of a few hundred people to a great Mu Empire that could compete with the strongest countries in the world.
There were millions of people who controlled the strings. Wherever the horses stepped, they bowed their heads.
When the children of the grassland looked at Qiong Lu Mountain, they saw the great miracle of the world. They also saw the final destination of their lives.
This mountain had the sky as its roof. Other than the sky, there was nothing that could cover its head. Therefore, it was called "Qiong Lu".
It was also the mountain that held up the sky and gave the children of the grassland a "home".
The spiritual sustenance of the grassland — Cang Tu Palace — was built on top of Qiong Lu Mountain.
For thousands of years, it overlooked the grassland and watched the fate of life and death.
And the supreme palace of the grassland was where the Empress of the Mu Empire stopped — beside the treasure of the world, the great "Sky Mirror".
This freshwater lake, which was as wide as the sea, was like a mirror embedded in the boundless grassland.
According to legend, it was the divine mirror that the Goddess of the grassland used to reflect on herself.
In the legends of the Mu Empire, the "Goddess of the grassland" was the first messenger of Cang Tu. She spread the will of God, saved the people of the world, and brought good news to the grassland.
When the goddess of the grassland returned to Cang Tu God's divine country, she left this mirror on the grassland to reflect the world. As the largest lake in the grassland, the Sky Mirror had indeed nurtured countless cattle and sheep, allowing the children of the grassland to grow up healthily.
If one were to divide the grasslands into the east and west, Qiong Lu Mountain would be at the center of the western grasslands, while the Sky Mirror would be at the center of the eastern grasslands.
In the beginning, the Supreme Royal Court was located at the foot of Qiong Lu Mountain.
As the Mu Empire unified the grasslands, the Supreme Royal Court continued to move and eventually settled beside the Sky Mirror.
It was different from what the outlanders imagined.
Not all Mustang people slept on horseback.
The tents they used to rest in were different from the simple tents they used when marching.
The tents stretched on and on, and while they had the characteristics of different tribes, they were also neatly planned.
Different areas carried different functions and coexisted harmoniously. Compared to the pavilions and terraces, it had a different style.
This was the most suitable city for the grasslands. In terms of extravagance, the Supreme Royal Court was not inferior to any country's capital.
Of course, there were also differences.
The Supreme Royal Court, which had "divine power," could move as a whole.
The Supreme Royal Court was also known as the "City of Eagles."
It meant that it was a city that could fly.
For most countries in the world, moving the capital was a matter of great political significance and rarely happened.
It was different on the grasslands. The Supreme Royal Court's "migration" happened more frequently. It was only in recent years that it slowly settled beside the Sky Mirror.
There were also "peddlers" on the grasslands.
They usually drove five horses and roamed around. Two carried goods, one carried people, and two took turns to rest. Hence, they were also known as the "Five Horse Riders."
They were "guests" on the grasslands. They brought goods for the herdsmen in different places and hoped to be warmly received by their owners.
At this moment, at the border of the Supreme Royal Court's tent area, a hooded person walked over next to a Five Horse Rider who had almost sold all his goods.
The scarf was piled high and almost covered half of the person's face. However, the occasional glimpse was still breathtaking.
This Five Horse Rider did not have much goods left on his horse. There was nothing left to choose.
However, the newcomer still picked and chose.
The conversation only happened in the ears of both parties.
"How is Brother Tiger?" the hooded person asked.
The Five Horse Rider said, "He seems to be very trusted now. The previous Jiujiang Black Armor Commander died from his old injury. He is very likely to be the next one. "
"It shouldn't be …" the hooded person thought for a moment and said, "There must be something behind the death of the previous Jiujiang Black Armor Commander."
The Five Horse Rider said, "There should be something fishy, but I don't have time to investigate. In short, the Zhuang Court will definitely not do anything to him. He may not be willing to leave. If I forcefully kidnap him, Du Ruhui will definitely be able to catch up. "
"It's enough that he's fine. The rest is not that important." The hooded person nodded. "Let's put it aside for now. We'll talk about it after the Yellow River Meeting."
"Going to the Yellow River Meeting is still too risky. I don't agree." The Five Horse Rider said.
"Uncle Deng." The hooded person said, "With the news of Third Brother, I have to go and take a look."
The hooded person who spoke was, of course, Zhao Rucheng.
The one who was called Uncle Deng was naturally Deng Yue, who was known as the "One Finger Breaks the River".
Du Yehu could tell that there was something wrong with the Maplewood City incident from Jiang Wang's current situation. Jiang Wang could tell that after he became famous, Du Yehu would be in danger.
Zhao Rucheng, who was smarter than the two of them, would of course not fail to consider this.
However, there was a limit to human strength. Although Deng Yue was strong, it was difficult for him to find out the truth outside the Zhuang Palace alone. He could only tell Zhao Rucheng what he saw.
Deng Yue, who was disguised as the Five Horse Rider in the Supreme Royal Court, said, "Since we know that he is in Qi and is doing well, we can go and see him after the Yellow River Meeting."
"Can you imagine? He came from a small place like Maplewood City. He has no background, no teacher, and no one to rely on … but in the end, he became the number one in the Inner Mansion of Qi's younger generation and represented Qi in the Yellow River Meeting. Can you imagine what he has gone through? The fact that he can reach this step shows that he is not doing well. "
Zhao Rucheng said, "I can't wait. I can't wait any longer. If he can become the champion of the world, there should be a few old friends who can witness his glory! I will wear a mask and just watch … I won't be discovered. "
Deng Yue was silent for a while. Ever since they entered the desert, Zhao Rucheng rarely spoke so much.
This showed his complicated emotions.
"The Yellow River Meeting …" Deng Yue sighed.
"Don't follow me this time." Zhao Rucheng said, "Just find a place to rest on the grassland. After I've read it and come back, we'll decide what to do next. "
There were many people at the Yellow River Meeting, and there were many powerhouses. He could blend in with Mu Guo's team. With Yuwen Duo's cover, there would be no problem.
However, it was difficult for a powerhouse like Deng Yue to hide his identity. It would be dangerous to go to the Yellow River Meeting.
"You are a man of your own ideas." Deng Yue looked at him and said deliberately, "Since Jiang Wang is still alive, can you go back to being depressed?"
Zhao Rucheng shook his head. "Third Brother is a strong person on the outside. He doesn't care about many things and can laugh it off. However, if he wants to care about something, he will care about it until the end. He won't just let the matter of Maplewood City go. "
He took out a jade hairpin from his bag.
"There are some things I can't do. However, if he wants to do something … I have to be able to help him. "
He handed a few pieces of silver to the Five Horse Riders and turned to leave.
