By the time he left the Longevity Palace, the moon was already hanging in the sky.
Jiang Wuqi ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to send him home, but he declined.
It was fine when he came, but it was hard to avoid suspicion if he sat in the Longevity Palace's sedan chair.
However, Eunuch Gao, who served Jiang Wuqi, still escorted him to the palace gates.
"Qing Yangzi …"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Eunuch Gao said politely. "Take care."
Jiang Wang didn't say anything else. He cupped his hands and left.
Before the sparring, Jiang Wuqi had said that the sparring was only to prove each other's abilities. The outcome of the battle was not to be spread.
Therefore, other than him and Jiang Wuqi, only Eunuch Gao, who stood guard outside the palace, knew the outcome of the sparring.
Jiang Wuqi … was indeed extraordinary.
After leaving the Longevity Palace, Jiang Wang reviewed the battle as he walked home alone.
Yes …
He could be considered to have a "home" in Linzi.
It would be great if An 'an could come and stay for a long time.
On such a night, not many people recognized Jiang Qingyang on the streets, even though he was famous throughout Linzi.
As he walked into the wide streets of Yaoguang Square, Jiang Wang suddenly heard a voice —
"No matter, let him go first."
The voice was still far away, but he heard it clearly because of his excellent hearing.
Interestingly, it was Xie Bao Shu's voice.
He had said that it wouldn't be easy to bump into him, but he didn't expect to bump into him so soon.
It seemed that there was still some fate.
Jiang Wang walked forward for a while. After turning the corner, he saw a large palanquin parked in the middle of a narrow alley. Not far in front of the palanquin, a trembling old man was walking slowly with a cane in his hand.
This alley was a shortcut to Zhengyang Street. It seemed that the Xie Estate's sedan chair had taken a shortcut and was stuck here.
Looking at the scene in front of him, it seemed that the Xie Estate's servants wanted to drive the old man away, but were stopped by Xie Bao Shu in the sedan chair.
He couldn't tell that the usually annoying Xie Bao Shu had this side to him.
He didn't always deserve a beating!
Jiang Wang shook his head and smiled. The word "human" was more complicated than anything else in the world. The more people he met and the more he saw human nature, the more he felt that the "Human" Sword Style was far from being inclusive enough.
The Jiang Mansion, which was bestowed by the Emperor, also had to pass through Zhengyang Street.
Jiang Wang walked past the sedan chair in a relaxed manner. Although the alley was small, it was not large enough to block pedestrians.
However, as soon as he walked over, the window of the sedan was pulled down heavily.
A voice that was neither light nor heavy rang out from within the sedan chair. "A vile character intoxicated by success!"
Jiang Wang immediately gritted his teeth. Sure enough, it was still a misunderstanding. This was the real Xie Baoshu!
He turned around on the spot, holding his sword at his waist, and stood in front of the Xie Mansion's sedan chair.
He shouted, "Get out here!"
The sedan-bearers of the Xie family recognized Jiang Wang, and they all looked nervous.
However, Xie Bao Shu suddenly lifted the sedan chair's curtain and stretched half his body out. He angrily glared at Jiang Wang. "What do you want!"
He would never forget that after the Great Master's Ceremony, Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng, these two rascals, specially ran to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to mock him. He was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath. If it weren't for his injuries, he would've fought these two to the death.
Now, this Jiang Wang actually lived in Yaoguang Square after returning from the Yellow River Gathering and became his neighbor!
He had long been disgusted. It was only because his uncle was strict that he didn't cause any trouble.
However, when he returned to the mansion today, he was blocked in the alley for half a day. This Jiang guy actually swaggered past him. If this wasn't mockery, then what was?
Of course, Xie Bao Shu couldn't stand it!
So what if the Inner Mansion was the best in the world? Wasn't that still the Inner Mansion?
Xie Bao Shu's Outer Mansion wasn't just an empty shell!
It would be good if they fought. Then the world would know why there was an Outer Mansion after the Inner Mansion!
At this moment, in the alley.
Four sedan bearers stood silently. The large sedan was suspended in the air. The good-looking Xie Bao Shu pressed the curtain to the side of the sedan door with one hand. He leaned half his body out and looked down at Jiang Wang fiercely.
On the other hand, Jiang Wang stood tall and stared at him with his hand on his sword. Behind him, an old man who seemed to be a little hard of hearing was slowly walking forward.
A full moon hung in the sky, and the ground was covered in white snow.
What a scene of confrontation in an alley!
Jiang Wang grinned. "So obedient!"
He turned around and swaggered away. He trampled the atmosphere into pieces.
Xie Bao Shu stood there, so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
What was this?
Were you a three-year-old kid?!
He wanted to curse a few times, but he didn't have much experience.
He could only curse fiercely, "Let's see how long your luck lasts!"
"Ah, speaking of luck …"
Jiang Wang, who had already walked away, slowly turned back. He looked at Xie Bao Shu with a smile and clicked his tongue. "You're still the lucky one! Otherwise, if you went to the Viewing River Platform with your strength … "
He looked Xie Bao Shu up and down, shook his head regretfully, and walked away.
He didn't say anything else, but there was no need to say anything.
As the saying goes, hit people's faces when you hit them, and expose their shortcomings when you scold them.
During the Master's Ceremony, it was three against one, and he was knocked unconscious by Jung Genzun. This was a humiliation that Xie Bao Shu was ashamed to mention.
At this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
At the end of the alley, there was a fork in the road. To the left was Zhengyang Street, to the right was Yaoguang Lane.
Jiang Wang walked briskly to the left.
With his current status as a third-rank official, he had the right to make the first move. If he didn't make the first move, even if Xie Bao Shu had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to attack him on the street.
Of course, he wouldn't fight with Xie Bao Shu on the street. There was nothing to gain if he won, and he would suffer if he lost.
It was very pleasant to bully him like this.
In the future, he would be staying in Yaoguang Lane for a long time. It seemed that he could consider it as a long-term leisure activity.
In a place where Jiang Wang and Xie Bao Shu couldn't see, the old man walking slowly with a cane had already walked right out of Yaoguang Lane.
His cane was gone, and his hunched back was straightened. A cold light jumped between his fingers a few times, and finally disappeared. Then, he covered himself with a cloak and disappeared into the night.
Xie Bao Shu was really lucky.
Unfortunately, he didn't know.
…
…
When Jiang Wang returned to the mansion, the butler came up to him. "Lord Jue, there is an invitation for you."
The servants in the mansion were all arranged by Chung Geng Sheng. Among the few butler candidates recommended by Chung Geng Sheng, Jiang Wang chose the most low-key and honest one. His surname was Xie, and his name was Ping. He had a wife and no children, and his background was clean and clean.
"Who sent it?" Jiang Wang asked casually as he walked in.
"It was from the Crown Prince's mansion," the butler said.
Today was really strange.
He had just met the Eleventh Prince, and the Crown Prince came looking for him.
Did the Crown Prince also want to see if his number one inner mansion could beat the outer mansion?
Jiang Wang took the invitation and glanced at the time. It was to invite him to the palace tomorrow morning. He handed it back and said, "Keep it. I'll go tomorrow. "
"Yes." The butler put away the invitation. He had to go to Changle Palace later to send a reply and tell them that Qing Yangzi had agreed to visit.
Jiang Wang asked again, "Is Young Master Chongxuan in the mansion?"
After he moved to a new mansion, Chung Geng Sheng also begged to come and occupy a yard. He said that his mansion was too remote and he didn't want to live in Marquis Bowang's mansion.
The butler said, "He went out at noon and hasn't come back yet."
"Okay, I see."
He didn't have to worry about Chung Geng Sheng. No matter who suffered losses, that fatty wouldn't suffer losses.
He nodded and walked in.
After the ceremony, Jiang Wang clearly felt that his influence in the whole Qi was rising rapidly.
Many people and many things needed a certain amount of time to react. And the feedback to Jiang Wang was like waves coming one after another.
He was really in the teeth of the storm.
Why did the Crown Prince, who he had never met privately before, send an invitation to meet him?
