The next time I saw Lei Zhanqian was at the award ceremony at the Dianjiang Platform.
Although Jiang Wang said that his merits and demerits were balanced, as the actual greatest contributor to the Battle of Xingyueyuan, he had to come to the award ceremony to gather the number of people...
Although this reward has nothing to do with him.
Since the end of the Battle of Xingyueyuan, Lei Zhanqian has disappeared and has never been seen again.
You must know that in the past, he always had to focus on all eyes.
To be honest, in this battle of Xingyueyuan, he came to join the battle almost at the last moment, only before Jiang Wang who joined the battlefield halfway, and his mood was not very good.
When related to Jiang Wuqi, it was obvious that this "cousin" knew something in advance.
When I saw him again today, he looked haggard and haggard, without even half of the domineering spirit he had before. When Xingyue was divided into camps, he used to fight one against three with bravery, and on the battlefield, the majesty of using thunderous punishment instead of heavenly punishment was nowhere to be found.
His long disheveled hair was listless, and his eyes were dry and tight. Even when he was receiving the award, he seemed to be wandering and absent-minded.
Shi Minghui, who was in charge of this award, did not argue with him. He just went through the motions and asked him to step down.
The fall of a prince like Jiang Wuqi who had the appearance of a wise king also brought down Yan Tu, the commander of the Yu Zhanyu Army.
It's hard to say how Shi Minghui, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, feels.
"Alas." Zhong Xuansheng sighed: "Brother Wang, how can you bear to bully him again in the future?"
His expression was really kind. It seemed that he was not the one who made Lei Zhanqian go to Beijing all night and make a fortune from Lei Zhanqian.
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes at the fat man. He was a promising young man, but it was really hateful to be treated like a gangster and a bully by this guy. How had I, Jiang Wang, ever bullied anyone? Wasn't it always because I was forced to fight back?
"If you don't say a few words, you are just helping others." He snorted coldly.
The two of them glared at each other, turned away, and almost at the same time, subconsciously set their eyes on Xie Baoshu.
During this war, the Qi State gained great prestige.
The geniuses who participated in the Battle of Xingyueyuan were rewarded to varying degrees according to their different performances in the war. Based on the family background of these people, not a single cent of the credit that should be attributed to them is lost. The problems attributed to them are, They are all as small as they can be.
After this battle, he can at least be appointed as a lieutenant at the rank of ninth pawn.
Of course, in terms of official rank, they are all below Master Jiang's third-grade Golden Melon Warrior.
With a cultivation level that is not as high as that of Shenlin, Jiang Qingyang is still the number one person in Qi State even if he holds a third-grade official position.
Xie Baoshu stood on the stage to receive the reward and was very high-spirited.
After Xingyue had fought a vigorous battle, faced life and death, and won honors, he had already figured it out.
If you can't beat Jiang Wang, then you can't beat him.
A good man has great ambitions, how can he be trapped in petty grudges?
If Miss Wen marries someone, just marry someone.
Why should a man be without a wife?
He walked down from the high platform, glanced around with proud eyes, and nodded gracefully when he saw Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang.
The meaning is very clear to me, Xie Baoshu, sir, I forgive you!
Zhong Xuansheng in the audience frowned: "Is Xie Xiaobao provoking us?"
"It smells like that!" Jiang Wang said: "Look, he is still nodding condescendingly!"
The two looked at each other and had reached a tacit agreement on the next goal.
…
…
Shi Minghui's time is very precious, so the entire awarding ceremony was kept simple and quick.
In fact, if it were not for the political significance of "defeating Jingguo", simply considering the scale of the war in Xingyueyuan, there would be no way for the God of War to supervise the battle and the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Soldiers to preside over the post-war reward ceremony.
It can be seen from the fact that the awarding ceremony was held at Dianjiangtai instead of the Ancestral Temple that the symbolic significance of this battle is greater than its actual significance. The game behind the war is the key between Qi Jing.
Soon the awarding ceremony came to an end. Li Longchuan, who performed brilliantly, was awarded the rank of Ninth Pawn General. Zhongxuan Sheng, who had not had time to show off his performance, was awarded the rank of Ninth Pawn Deputy General. As for those who decorated the war with Daoyuan Stone
Yan Fu, on the other hand, took advantage of a lucrative position in the household department.
Of course, this concept of "fat" is only relative to others. In Mr. Yan, there is no such thing as fat or thin. Anyway, they are all paid to take office.
After a battle of Xingyueyuan was won, if the political significance was not taken into consideration, among the geniuses in the entire Qi army, only Yan Fu lost money! And the hole in the compensation could not be filled at all. But this "hole" was also
It's just that relatively speaking, if it's a hole in someone else's body, it's probably just an eye of a needle in his body, so that's fine with him.
Zhong Xuansheng was not dissatisfied. At this moment, he and Jiang Wang were already thinking about where to block Xie Xiaobao's path. Anyway, everyone lived in Yaoguangfang, so it was very convenient to meet and so on.
At this moment, Lei Zhanqian walked directly in front of the two of them.
Chong Xuansheng and Jiang Wang looked at each other, a little confused. Except for the few times when they wanted to be beaten, Lei Zhanqian never took the initiative to talk to them.
Lei Zhanqian only looked at Jiang Wang and said concisely and concisely: "Jiang Qingyang. Wuqi... left his life to me and asked me to invite you to the Changsheng Palace, saying that I have a gift for you."
Jiang Wang was very surprised, but he still nodded and said: "Brother Laurel is leading the way."
Chong Xuansheng said nothing at the side. Jiang Wuqi is dead. Now no matter how close he is to the Changsheng Palace, he will not be suspected by others. It is just a visit to the Changsheng Palace, whether it is to commemorate or pay homage, it will not
What's the big problem?
"You have been to Changsheng Palace, you should know how to get there... That's it, I'm going back first."
After Lei Zhanqian said that, he turned around.
Jiang Wang was even more surprised: "Brother Lei, aren't you going?"
Lei Zhanqian did not look back, but waved his hand sadly: "I'm tired, go home and sleep."
He, Lei Zhanqian, is not really stupid.
Jiang Wuqi had a gift for Jiang Wang. There were many people in the Changsheng Palace, so why did he ask Lei Zhanqian to invite him by name?
It was clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the conflict between him and Jiang Wang.
Jiang Qingyang is now at the top of his game. Looking at the young geniuses in the entire Qi Kingdom, only Chongxuan Zun can compare with him.
To be honest, after Jiang Wuqi died, he, Lei Zhangan, could not touch him.
The Lei family is only a second-rate family, and none of Chongxuan, Li, or Yan can compare with it.
He, Lei Zhanqian, lost three times in a row at the hands of Jiang Wang, and each time he lost more miserably. He lost once in Qixing Valley, twice in Invincible Martial Arts Arena, and three times in Master's Ceremony. He almost lost confidence. Now Jiang Wang has entered the outside world. Lou, and Yu Xingyueyuan's sword was defeated by Chen Shuan, what he was fighting for was invincibility under God's presence. Without Jiang Wuqi's backing, what would he, Lei Zhangan, do to him?
Jiang Wuqi asked him to invite Jiang Wang because he hoped to win Jiang Wang's forgiveness for him. He wanted to use the broken face of a dead person to heal the troubles for his cousin.
He was very able to understand Jiang Wuqi's thoughts.
But this "understanding" was too painful for him.
He has always thought highly of himself and was arrogant. But why, as a cousin, did he always ask Jiang Wuqi, his cousin, to help save the situation?
He has long been accustomed to the voice that is always mixed with coughing. From life to combat training, it reminds him time and time again. Although he is obviously younger than him, he has been old-fashioned since he was a child. He always tells him that this is not good. That's not good. Point out his problems and always take care of his face as a cousin.
Obviously when he was very young, his grandfather told him that his cousin had no mother and he should take good care of his cousin. But why, after so many years, he, Lei Zhanqian, was always the one who was taken care of?
Even though the young man wrapped in the snow-white fox fur has left forever, he is still looking at him with concern from the eternal distance, trying to resolve the dispute for his cousin.
Jiang Wang also saw the meaning.
Jiang Wang's attitude is also very good.
But how does he accept it?
Could it be that he, Lei Zhanqian, has never helped Jiang Wuqi, but has always been a burden to him?
He was sad because of Jiang Wuqi's sudden departure, painful because of his own powerlessness, and exhausted physically and mentally because everything was irreversible.
He once vowed to clear all obstacles for his cousin, so he did not hesitate to attack everyone in Qixing Valley and take risks to provoke Jiang Wuxie.
But has he really done anything?
He is tired.
Jiang Wang could probably tell a little bit about Lei Zhanqian's complicated emotions, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Chong Xuansheng and said, "Do you want to accompany me to the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"You didn't invite me." Chong Xuansheng curled his lips: "Don't expect me to be your coachman and help you guard the gate outside the palace!"
Jiang Wang was very sorry: "Then I'll take my leave now, Brother Chongxuan."
"There's no need to say goodbye formally like this. Shi Shi and I are waiting for you at your house." Chong Xuan Sheng said with a smile again.
The carriage could not reach him, so Lord Jiang had no choice but to walk.
While walking, I pondered the Taoist arts, which was a lot of fun and took away a bit of misery.
Now that he has entered the outer building, he can try to learn the super-grade yellow-level Taoist skills "Dragon Tiger" and "Fire Flowers Burning the City" he had obtained earlier.
Although Huang-level Taoism generally requires the cultivation of the Divine Realm as the threshold, Jiang Wang has some foundations whether it is the "Dragon Tiger" inherited from Jiu Yang or the "Fire Flower Burning City" inherited from Zuo Guanglie.
Let's build the city with fireworks, and he has the magical power of fire, Samadhi True Fire. And "Dragon Tiger" is known as "the human body has a spine as a dragon, and can attract the eight winds to become a tiger." His Bu Zhou Feng is one of the eight winds.
It's just that it belongs to the super level after all. Although I have been thinking about it for a long time before entering the outer building realm, and I have not slacked off all the way from Xingyueyuan to Qi State, I still haven't mastered it.
Cultivation is a long process, and powerful Tao skills cannot be acquired overnight, but Jiang Wang is not impatient. He just stands outside the door and explores slowly.
Dianjiangtai is in the west of Linzi City, quite far away from Changsheng Palace.
After walking for a while, Jiang Wang had to put on a cloak to avoid being recognized and blocked again. Now he is in Linzi, and through his deeds one after another, his reputation has already reached its peak. He is said to be the leader of Qi State.
The first genius, few people would object to it. It is already difficult to relax and hang out.
Speaking of which, he was also curious about what gifts Jiang Wuqi left for him.
He asked himself that he actually had no friendship with Jiang Wuqi.
The limited interactions between the two people were either related to Jiang Wuyong or Lei Zhanqian, which was really not pleasant. The only time they got along in private was the competition to verify the number one position in the inner palace.
When it comes to mutual sympathy, there is indeed some. But when it comes to personal friendship, we haven't had time to establish it yet.
Of course, Jiang Wuqi was Jiang Wuqi after all. Even if this gift was just a pretense to bridge the conflict between him and Lei Zhanqian, it should have its own extraordinary qualities.
In other words, no matter what it is. Because of the name "Jiang Wuqi", people naturally look forward to it.
Among the entire Qihuang Palace palace complex, the four palaces of Changle, Huaying, Yangxin, and Changsheng are also quite special. Standing on the outer layer of the palace complex, they also have their own distinct centers.
When Jiang Wang arrived at the Changsheng Palace, there were quite a few guards outside the palace gate. Although the people left, the tea did not cool down so quickly.
I heard that the Emperor ordered that the Palace of Eternal Life be preserved forever, so this place should not change...
It was Eunuch Feng who greeted him outside the palace gate.
It's just that I haven't seen him for a while, and this old man with a pair of dark eyes looks even more aged. And the vague feeling of danger in him no longer exists.
The sadness between his eyebrows could not be concealed, but his etiquette was still meticulous: "Master Jiang."
Jiang Wang returned the gift humbly and then said: "Brother Lei told me that His Highness Eleven left a gift for me."
Feng Gu glanced behind him: "Did Mr. Lei send you here?"
Jiang Wang said nonchalantly: "He is a little tired, so he went back to rest first."
Feng Gu probably knew Lei Zhanqian's temper, so he just sighed and said, "Please come this way."
Follow Feng Gu and walk forward. This is the second time we come to Changsheng Palace.
It was still such a majestic palace, but no matter how Jiang Wang searched, he could no longer see the bright feeling he had when he first arrived.
It has nothing to do with light or layout.
The spirit of this palace had indeed left with the sickly prince.
On the long corridor, Feng Gu's footsteps were silent, but Jiang Wang's steps were clean and sure.
He came here calmly to keep Jiang Wuqi's life-long promise.
It can be regarded as an end to the equally divided battle that day, and to bid farewell to this startling rainbow that pierced the sky.
Feng Gu was walking in front and suddenly said: "His Highness has always been very optimistic about the Lord. He often said that it is a blessing for Qi to have talents like you coming to Qi. It's just because you are close to His Highness the Third Highness that he doesn't want to make you
I was embarrassed, so I didn’t get close to him more."
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say, so he just said: "I also admire His Highness Eleven very much."
Feng Gu stopped talking. Unlike last time, he wanted to introduce Jiang Wang to wherever he went, and he was full of pride in his words.
He is very old. Like this palace, some kind of support has been taken away.
Regarding Jiang Wuqi, he obviously has countless topics that he can expand on...but what should he say?
The person is no longer here.
Still leading Jiang Wang to the side hall from the last time, Feng Gu took a deep breath, stopped at the door, and made a sideways gesture to invite in: "His Highness said, any object in this hall, Sir,
As long as you like it, you can take it for yourself. If we don't see each other again, it can be regarded as leaving a message to Sir Alex."
Jiang Wang remembered that this was Jiang Wuqi's study.
The place where the Lord of the Palace of Eternal Life often stays, naturally contains some valuable objects.
The value of this word "any choice" is difficult to measure.
Since then... we haven't seen each other.
The news of Jiang Wuqi's death has always been vague to Jiang Wang, with an unspeakable sense of unreality. Although he knew that this kind of news could not be faked, he still wondered whether there would be any changes.
How could such a glorious person die just because he was dead?
It wasn't until he heard Eunuch Feng's words that he really realized
Jiang Wuqi indeed left.
Death does not grant any tolerance because of his dazzlingness.
When Jiang Wang walked into the hall, the first thing he noticed was still the writing desk.
There is a pile of idle books in the upper right corner of the desk.
Jiang Wuqi once introduced it as a story about some benevolent people and evil heroes. He rarely had time to spare, so he read it.
Thinking about it now, for a person like him who cares about the world, living idle is really the greatest pain. So he needs to find some sustenance in those so-called idle books.
If he hadn't been born into an emperor's family, he might have carried a sword at his waist and performed chivalrous acts of justice all over the world, rejoicing in grudges and grudges. Just like that day, he was eager to try and prove his bravery with Jiang Wang.
He is only seventeen years old.
In the upper left corner of the desk is a bowl of medicinal soup. It has been cold for a long time, but it can still smell bitter.
In the middle of the desk, there is a stack of snow-white rice paper.
Besides, the brush was resting on the inkstone, and the ink had dried up.
"Your Highness left in a hurry, so I didn't do much to clean him up." Feng Gu explained from behind.
This study room has two entire walls covered with bookshelves, filled with a wide variety of books.
Feng Gu stood in front of the wall facing the bookcase and took the initiative to introduce: "There are hundreds of classics here, and there are basically some works from each school. Most of the ones left behind have been studied by His Highness and feel that they are of some value for discussion.
"
Jiang Wang only glanced at it briefly, and then he felt as if he was looking at the ocean and sighed.
Feng Gu walked to another wall and introduced it carefully: "Here are some Taoism, secret techniques, His Highness's practice notes, some articles written by His Highness, and some poems, calligraphy and paintings."
The bookshelves on this wall are also extremely full, which shows Jiang Wuqi's accumulation.
Feng Gu raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side: "Here are some exquisite objects that His Highness likes, and some of them are powerful magic weapons... whatever your lordship likes, just take one for yourself."
On the shelves against this wall, there are various utensils stacked up, most of which Jiang Wang has never seen before. Last time he came here, he only had a quick glance, but this time he took a closer look... he still couldn't see anything.
In the entire study, only the wall behind the desk was blank.
After writing the desk, there was a white, somewhat worn pillow on the big chair where Jiang Wuqi usually sat. Feng Gu had no intention of introducing it.
Jiang Wang walked to the bookshelf where Jiang Wuqi's articles and notes were stacked, and asked aloud, "Can I read it?"
"You can do whatever you want." Feng Gu said.
He didn't look at those precious secrets of practice, nor did he read the practice notes of this peerless genius. Jiang Wang just quietly read through some articles written by Jiang Wuqi.
The eleventh prince's thoughts on this country, this world, and life are all reflected in these articles.
Reading his articles is like interacting with other people.
I watched it for a long time and read it piece by piece.
Feng Gu didn't urge him, he just stayed by his side silently.
After reading the articles for a while, Jiang Wang turned to Jiang Wuqi's calligraphy and paintings.
The scroll of words placed at the top was obviously written not long ago and had not yet been framed.
Jiang Wang unfolded it, only to see a majestic and majestic calligraphy
"Heaven will not abandon me Da Qi, but give birth to me Jiang Wuqi!"
The energy and spirit shown in this calligraphy are very inconsistent with the frail and sickly appearance of the Eleventh Prince.
But it is more in line with the image of the Changsheng Palace Master who used his body as a bait to kill the spies of Qi Jingping and other countries.
"I want this calligraphy." Jiang Wang said.
"Of course it's possible..." Feng Gu was a little surprised. There were countless treasures in this study, most of them secret treasures and famous works from hundreds of schools of thought. However, Jiang Wang didn't choose anything, only the last one handwritten by Jiang Wuqi.
That word.
Although it was written by Jiang Wuqi, it does not contain any secret magical powers and is really no more precious than other objects.
He couldn't help but remind: "Don't you think about it anymore?"
Jiang Wang carefully rolled up the calligraphy and put it away in the storage box, and said seriously: "His Highness asked me to keep it in mind. This calligraphy reminds me of him the most."
Feng Gu was a little moved, but he quickly calmed down and said: "You can take whatever you want, Your Highness. This is His Highness's last command."
"Thank you." Jiang Wang looked around. There were traces of Jiang Wuqi everywhere in the study. They were so vivid and clear. This was probably the reason why Feng Gu didn't want to clean them up.
"I hope His Highness will get what he wants when he leaves," he said at last.
Feng Gu lowered his eyes to face him.
After finishing the words, Jiang Wang was ready to leave.
But then Feng Gu suddenly remembered something.
"That's right." He turned around and browsed on the bookshelf, took out a book, and walked over.
"After your last visit to the Changsheng Palace, His Highness specially prepared this gift for you...but he didn't have time."
Jiang Wang knew that he left Qi soon and was being hunted...
"What book?" He took it curiously.
I saw that this was a very beautifully bound book with five large characters on the cover.
"The Biography of Thousand Beauties of Various Countries".
Only then did Jiang Wang vaguely remember that he had indeed talked about this book with Jiang Wuqi last time.
There is also a seal in the lower left corner of the book, which reads: "Tiandu Collection".
Lord Jiang, who has been reading a lot recently, certainly knows that "Tiandu" is a long-standing brand name in the book industry, and "Tiandu Collection" has always been synonymous with classics.
I couldn't help but mutter a little.
Why is there a typo in Tiandu Collection?
He could completely feel Jiang Wuqi's intention, as the master of the Palace of Immortality, to seek out the Tiandu Collector's Edition of "The Story of Thousand Beauties of All Nations" just because of his casual chatter.
But he was really just making casual remarks. He had never read any idle books since he was a child.
But in this situation, how could he refuse the thoughts of his dead friend?
All he could do was continue and sigh: "Your Highness, you have taken the trouble."
Feng Gu bowed respectfully: "Sir, please go slowly. I am old and weak, so I won't send you off anymore."
"No need to see you off, please rest...please express your condolences."
Jiang Wang saluted sincerely and then left here alone.
Although the Changsheng Palace is vast, he has memorized the route by heart after going there several times.
As he walked, he casually opened the book given by Jiang Wuqi. He also wanted to see what the eleventh prince had painstakingly collected and was obsessed with Zhongxuan Fenghua. What was written in it...
