Today was the last day of the 3918th year of the Daoist calendar, which was also the day of the "New Year". The old year was gone, and a new year was born.
It was still early in the morning, but the entire Cloud City was already decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Although Lingxiao Pavilion was a Transcendent sect, it couldn't avoid celebration. The secret area of Lingxiao Pavilion was decorated in red. It was less celestial and more human.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Anan waved her little hand in front of her eyes. "It's your turn!"
These days, Jiang Wang didn't go anywhere. When he wasn't cultivating, he spent all his free time playing with little Anan.
At this moment, there was a chess table in front of them, and the black and white pieces were clearly separated.
The brother and sister sat facing each other, looking quite decent.
But …
Jiang Wang thought for a while, and finally made up his mind. He put down the black piece and played the last stroke of the "Jiang" character.
"Brother." Jiang Anan used the white piece to play her "An" character, and said with concern, "You've been thinking for so long. Are you not familiar with this character?"
Some things weren't suitable to talk about with little Anan, so Jiang Wang said perfunctorily, "Sometimes it's hard to avoid forgetting the characters."
Jiang Anan quickly took out a stack of copybooks from the squirrel box and smiled. "You're still not familiar with it. I have copybooks here, you can practice with them! Don't be shy! "
"Hehe." Jiang Wang smiled and patted her little head. "No need, I bought a lot, enough to practice writing. I'll give you some later! "
The brother and sister were happy and harmonious. They pushed each other, and they were very harmonious.
Ye Qingyu walked in at this time.
"Playing chess again?" She smiled and looked at the "chess game". "You two are really evenly matched."
Jiang Anan took the opportunity to skip the topic of copybooks, and got up to hug Ye Qingyu. "Sister Qingyu, did you come to play with us?"
"Yes." Ye Qingyu replied softly. "Isn't it New Year's Eve? Your Senior Sister Wang is preparing the phoenix flower lantern tonight! Do you want to go and take a look first? "
"Okay!" Jiang Anan agreed very decisively. She let go of Ye Qingyu and rushed out with a swift and decisive temperament.
"Stop!" Jiang Wang hurriedly shouted.
Jiang Anan reluctantly stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wang picked up a stack of copybooks that An 'an had casually stuffed under the chess table and stretched them forward. He put on a friendly smile and said, "Why are you so careless? I forgot to bring my copybook. "
"Oh …" Jiang Anan slowly walked over and put the stack of copybooks back into the squirrel box. Then, she pouted and ran away.
Ye Qingyu looked at this scene in amusement, only feeling that both her brother and sister were very interesting.
After casually pouring a cup of tea, Jiang Wang made a 'please' gesture and asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Ye, do you have something to tell me?"
After Chi Yunshan's trip, the two of them became much closer. He no longer needed to be too deliberate when he spoke.
There was a reason why she had purposely sent An 'an away.
Ye Qingyu's expression became somewhat serious. "I just received news that the conflict between Zhuang and Yong suddenly intensified, and a war broke out in the early hours of this morning. Now, Zhuang's army has crossed the Qichang Mountain Range and defeated the Yong border army stationed north of the mountain range in one fell swoop. They entered Yong's territory and entered Lingbei Prefecture! "
Jiang Wang's face was expressionless, but the ripples that suddenly appeared in the teacup showed that his heart wasn't calm at all.
"This is too sudden," he said while holding the teacup.
It was very sudden. Tonight was New Year's Eve. Everyone was preparing to welcome the new year, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. However, Zhuang actually started a war on this day.
The target was very sudden. Zhuang was weak and Yong was strong. This was a fact that anyone with a discerning eye could see. No matter how weak Yong was, it was still a centipede that didn't fall over. No matter how much Zhuang changed with each passing day, its foundation was still lacking.
Moreover, earlier in Buyao City, the three kingdoms of Zhuang, Luo, and Yong had already made an agreement not to fight.
However, this time, it was suddenly torn apart by the supposedly weak Zhuang!
According to the news that Ye Qingyu knew,
The source of the entire incident was the dispute between the hunters of the two kingdoms in the Qichang Mountain Range.
The hunters fought, causing the border armies of the two kingdoms to confront each other for ten days. Yong's border army refused to hand over the murderer of the hunters in Shanyang City. The border army of Zhuang was filled with righteous indignation, and there were several times when major conflicts almost broke out.
The Yong army was used to being unyielding, and the Zhuang army gradually gained confidence. The border armies of the two kingdoms refused to give way.
In order to avoid a larger scale conflict, the Zhuang court ordered their border army to retreat. It was said that the border army left in tears. They had no choice but to retreat under the military order, and they shed tears along the way.
The incident erupted because of a soldier named Chen Shikai. He disobeyed the military order and deserted during the retreat, leaving behind only a suicide note.
He returned to the Qichang Mountain Range alone with a war saber. He single-handedly demanded the murderer of the hunters of Zhuang. After being refused, he charged toward the border army of Yong alone … In the end, he died in battle at the border.
There was only one line of crooked words in his suicide note.
The people of Zhuang cannot die in vain!
After Chen Shikai's suicide note was discovered, the entire border army stopped and refused to take another step back. The crowd was surging with emotions, and everyone wanted to fight.
The generals of the border army couldn't even force the soldiers to retreat with their whips. In the end, they cried and wrote a letter asking for battle. The letter said that they were willing to take the lead and be the first to die in front of the two armies.
The entire border army had 357 soldiers, and everyone wanted to die!
It was said that when Zhuang Gaoxian heard of this, he smashed the dragon throne in the imperial court and said, "The people's hearts can be relied on, and the soldiers' hearts can be relied on. The hatred of generations will be avenged in a single day! "
As a result, he launched an attack on Yong and poured all his strength into the war!
By the time Lingxiao Pavilion received the news, the Zhuang army had already crossed the Qichang Mountain Range and invaded Yong's Lingbei Prefecture.
"It's too sudden!" Jiang Wang repeated. It was as if he could only suppress his agitation by repeating it.
The hatred between Zhuang and Yong could be traced back to the founding of the two kingdoms. The entire process of Zhuang's establishment was the process of resisting Yong.
Perhaps the hatred between the two kingdoms would never be erased.
However, this war between the two kingdoms was too sudden.
Ye Qingyu looked at him with some worry. "You should spend the New Year with An 'an here. The war between Zhuang and Yong won't affect the Yun Kingdom."
The Yun Kingdom was a kingdom above the clouds, and the entire kingdom was built on top of a mountain. In terms of geography, there was no conflict with other kingdoms. The Yun Kingdom had always maintained a neutral position and never expanded its territory. The Yun Kingdom's caravans traveled the world and maintained good relations with many other kingdoms.
No matter how much the Zhuang and Yong fought, the Yun Kingdom wouldn't be affected. Moreover, Ye Lingxiao had already attained Insightful Truth. Regardless of whether it was Zhuang or Yong, they wouldn't be stupid enough to find another Perfected Person to be their opponent outside of the war.
Ye Qingyu was the one who understood Jiang Wang's experience the best. She was worried that Jiang Wang would participate in the war between Zhuang and Yong after hearing the news. Although a Divine Ability Internal Residence was powerful, in such a war, even God Ascension cultivators had the risk of dying, let alone Internal Residence cultivators. If he recklessly got involved, it was very likely that something would happen.
"I know."
Jiang Wang subconsciously rubbed the teacup. The texture of the porcelain made contact with his skin, giving him a complicated feeling.
He repeated, "I know."
