Rumor has it that [Emperor Sword] is the pinnacle work of master swordsmith Jiang Xuanqing, and it is also Jiang Xuanqing's last sword.
It was recognized by Jiang Xuanqing as the first of a hundred swords, just like the emperor among ten thousand swords.
The sword spirit of [Emperor Sword] will only recognize those heroes who have the ambition to dominate the world as its holders.
And it is just like the [General Sword], it can indeed select such a person from among ten thousand people.
This kind of sword will make the superiors jealous.
Therefore, Jiang Xuanqing has never announced any information about his third sword.
Over the years, only the Jiang family heads and a very few people have known about the existence of the [Emperor Sword].
…
When the gate of Sword Tomb is closed.
Yan Wulu and the others came out of the Sword Tomb.
Under the gaze of everyone in the Jiang family, for a moment, they only noticed that the guard Tie Mian was actually holding the treasure of the tomb - the [General Sword].
Yan Wulu and Jiang Yueling were holding two long swords with unknown names even though they looked extremely gorgeous.
It's just like "gold and jade on the outside, but rotten catkins on the inside".
Almost all eyes were focused on Tie Mian.
But only Jiang Jie...
As the head of the Jiang family, he is one of the few people in the world who knows the existence and significance of the [Emperor Sword].
Jiang Jie stared straight at the pale golden sword in Yan Wulu's hand.
That...sword of the emperor.
…
In the eyes of others, perhaps it was because the most legendary sword was taken by a guard, which made the owner's face tarnished.
When some polite words are finished.
Jiang Jie quickly announced the dispersal and warned everyone that the matter must not be made public...
It looked like he was trying to hide something big.
Afterwards, Jiang Jie, as the head of the Jiang family, invited Yan Wulu and Jiang Yueling to leave with him.
Others only thought that maybe it was to comfort the glassy hearts of Prince Zhenbei and the eldest lady...
Tiemian originally wanted to follow him.
But he was surrounded by a group of Jiang family members. They didn't want this guard who stole the limelight to get into trouble with his masters.
Moreover, almost every one of them grew up listening to the legend of [Shogun Sword].
Being able to be selected by the sword spirit of [General Sword]...
It shows that the person in front of you must have the ability and courage to command the world's army!
If this spreads out, whether you believe it or not, this guard will become a legend for a while.
…
Jiang Jie took Yan Wulu and the two of them to the study of the head of the house.
Through Jiang Yueling's narration, Jiang Jie got an idea of the matter, and for a while he was even more impressed with Yan Wulu.
But I felt a little guilty for no reason——
If he hadn't forced his adopted son Ye Changtian in, then [General Sword] should have relied on Yan Wulu.
At that time, Jiang Jie just wanted to make up for his adopted son. Who would have thought that he would be so good and be selected as the holder of the [General Sword] all of a sudden.
However, it may be a blessing in disguise.
Yan Wulu ended up becoming the holder of the [Emperor Sword] by accident.
However, the meaning represented by this [Emperor Sword] is far beyond what a prince can bear...
Jiang Jie looked at Yan Wulu quietly.
The latter and Jiang Yueling seemed to be ignorant of the far-reaching significance of the pale golden sword.
Jiang Jie wanted to speak several times, but in the end he hesitated.
In the end, Yan Wulu found an excuse to send Jiang Yueling away, and his expression changed. He was no longer as happy about getting the sword as he was with Jiang Yueling before.
Yan Wulu slowly looked at Jiang Jie and said calmly——
"My father-in-law seems to have something to say. It should be about the sword in Wu Lu's hand, right?"
Jiang Jie was a little surprised by Yan Wulu's sudden change.
And he also roughly understood why this [Emperor Sword] chose the person in front of him.
Jiang Jie made up his mind to tell the other party all the information he knew about the [Emperor Sword].
As for Yan Wulu, he didn't know whether it was because of his personality or because he had known something for a long time. He only agreed lightly when he spoke, showing no signs of surprise or panic.
In Jiang Jie's heart, he became increasingly confused about the person in front of him.
…
After taking the sword from the Sword Tomb.
Tie Mian instantly became a popular figure in the Jiang family, and was visited and questioned by various people all day long.
Yan Wulu, who was being affected for no reason, felt annoyed and specifically gave Tiemian a break so he didn't have to follow him.
After Yan Wulu and the others stayed at Jiang's house for a while, they were about to set off for Yaowang Valley in the east of Hedong.
When Yan Wulu and the others were about to leave, Jiang Jie found Yan Wulu in private and wanted to talk to him alone.
In the study room of the head of the Jiang family.
There were only two people, Yan Wulu and Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie and Yan Wulu sat across the table. After a few greetings, Jiang Jie also said directly——
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you are already with Yue Ling, and Yue Ling is the only daughter of the Jiang family. In the future, no matter what His Highness plans to do, the Jiang family will stand by the Crown Prince's side."
"Master Yue-Zhang, your words can easily be misunderstood." Yan Wulu said with a hint of caution...
Jiang Jie's words indeed have a profound meaning.
No matter what you do, you will always be on your side?
...Then if he rebels, will he also become an enemy of the imperial court for his own sake?
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Now, it is just His Royal Highness and Jiang Jie's family."
"...As the master who can be recognized by the [Emperor Sword], the Crown Prince's ambition must not only be to occupy a corner of the North."
Jiang Jie said, handing over the white jade tea that had been brewed before.
Yan Wulu took the tea and did not answer directly.
"Actually, it's not just the imperial court and the Northern Territory. Even among the Zhenbei Army, Jiang Jie has heard that there are still many factions that are dissatisfied with the Crown Prince."
"...In the future, if the prince inherits the throne of Zhenbei, the Jiang family will probably be no better than those Jinling families in the imperial capital, but if the Jiang family does its best to help, the situation in the north will be more stable."
"...The prince can rest assured that no matter what happens in the future, the Jiang family will always be on the same side as the prince."
Seeing Jiang Jie in front of him suddenly express his loyalty with words, Yan Wulu couldn't help but feel that the other party had ulterior motives.
"Master-in-law, do you need Wu Lu's help for anything?"
"Haha, I'm ashamed to say it. His Royal Highness, Yue Ling, is the only daughter of me and my wife."
Jiang Jie said, no longer as sharp as before, as if there was something difficult to say.
Yan Wulu listened quietly. Seeing Jiang Jie's hesitation, he continued Jiang Jie's words and said -
"Don't worry, Mr. Yue-Zhang, Wu Lu will definitely treat Yue Ling well. If Mr. Yue-Zhang has any other requests or worries, just ask Wu Lu."
"This... Speaking of which, it's still a bit overreaching."
