Chapter 1941 The mountains are high and the road is far
When the Emperor of Qi called a halt to the battle, the outcome of the battle had naturally appeared.
Although Jiang Wang was covered in injuries at this time, Zhong Xuanzun was spotless at this time.
Although Zhongxuanzun still has two star wheels, although his fighting spirit is still high and his blood is like a flood...
But the outcome has been decided.
At least for the moment.
Zhongxuan Zun was in the air, and suddenly he smiled freely. His black hair and white clothes fell down, and he opened his big hands and spread out the sun, moon and stars. He turned around and stepped down from the sky, walking out gracefully.
The palace door was naturally opened for him.
After waiting outside the palace for a long time, all eyes, hidden or visible, fell on him.
His breathing would be heard repeatedly.
He has long been accustomed to being in the spotlight and doesn't care what people think.
Under the majestic palace, he walked willfully and laughed wildly——
"It's a long journey, Jiang Qingyang, see you again in the world!"
He just left so gracefully, just like when Jiang Wang saw him for the first time.
Qiu Ji, who was waiting outside the palace gate, glanced at Jiang Wang in front of the palace from a distance. Without giving him any look, he followed Zhong Xuanzun in small steps.
Now Jiang Wang was the only one standing in front of Delu Palace with cracked floor tiles. There was only a door between him and Emperor Da Qi in the palace. But Han Ling, who was guarding the door, would not invite him in again.
He regarded Chong Xuan Zun's reunion as a blessing.
Because life and death here are unpredictable, and blessings and disasters are actually unknown.
He won the second battle with Zhongxuanzun, but he didn't feel happy in his heart.
He personally cut the way out of Qi, but the road ahead did not become clear.
But this is his choice.
The place where he started was in ruins, and all his efforts over the years were to return to those ruins.
No matter how glorious the scene is, he can't rest in peace. Sometimes right and wrong can only be tested by time. In other words, right and wrong are no longer important.
He once left his village and walked thousands of miles alone, and now he had to walk back alone.
He faced the palace and bowed politely: "I bid farewell to the Emperor!"
"Keep the set of "History's Swordsman Cutting the Sea" that I gave you. There is no need for you to read it again." The emperor's voice came from the palace: "I have read through history for four thousand years and talked about thousands of words, but I don't know how to protect myself."
.It can be seen that reading is wise and cannot be taken seriously."
Jiang Wangdao: "I don't carry this set with me. If your Majesty must ask for it, I will ask someone to buy a set and return it to you."
Han Ling looked at Jiang Wang with eager eyes, ready to go up and search the storage box if he had any disagreement.
But the emperor just said: "Don't be a minister anymore."
The majestic voice that overcame everything rose slightly: "Jiang Wang, Marquis of Wu'an, is guilty of being disrespectful! Now we have deprived him of his title, reduced his position, taken away his fief, demoted him to a commoner, and driven him out of the Qi land! Han Ling, you are responsible for supervising this matter.
."
Before Jiang Wang could react, he had already appeared outside Delu Palace with Han Ling, and the palace door in front of him was deeply hidden.
He bowed deeply to the palace gate again: "May your Majesty take care of your holy body and prosper forever!"
Then he got up and walked out of the palace with his broken body and ragged clothes.
Han Ling, who was responsible for expelling the common man Jiang Wang, quickly followed him, stretched out his hand, replenished his energy and blood, and repaired the Ruyi Immortal Clothes.
As the head of the palace officials in Da Qi, he had no personal likes or dislikes towards Jiang Wang. His love and hatred were all the same as those of the Emperor.
At this moment, as Jiang Wang walked out of the palace, his sight both overt and covert was blocked by him.
Both of them were speechless until they walked out of the palace——
Outside the palace city, there are crowds of people!
This place has always been an empty square. No restaurants or wine shops are allowed, and no hawkers or gatherings are allowed. How has such a large number of people ever gathered here?
The fact that so many people gathered together but remained silent showed good discipline. It was obvious that the vast majority of them were soldiers.
There were many familiar faces in the crowd, and Jiang Wang couldn't help but stop.
He stopped outside the Changlu Gate, calmed down his mood, and smiled: "Are you guys going to eat here?"
Now is Tatsuki, which is the "morning meal" time. Many people get up at this time to have breakfast.
The former Marquis of Wu'an said hello to his former subordinates.
But the crowd in front of him remained silent.
As if this silence could keep him behind.
Jiang Wang paused for a moment and then walked forward. Han Ling followed him silently.
The crowd also silently made way for them.
Jiang Wang walked slowly among the crowd. He already knew the weight of his gaze, and he had already borne the weight of his gaze.
His determination was conveyed in this silence.
Suddenly, a man knelt down on one knee and stopped in front of him. He looked up at Jiang Wang with a sad face: "Master Hou! Do you still remember me? You saved me in the Minxi Corridor of Xia Kingdom! Why... why did you leave?
ah?"
Jiang Wang looked at him. He actually didn't have much memory about saving him, but the face was indeed familiar. He had followed him in battles in Xia Di.
During the Minxi Corridor, General Yan Po of Yi State and Zhou Xiong of Xia State fought to death. The aftermath of the battle affected many Qi soldiers.
While waiting for an opportunity to join the battle and help Yan Po, he rushed to rescue people. This also allowed Yi Shengfeng, who was lurking on the side, to see the opportunity and usher in Bo Xinglang's sneak attack.
This man was probably one of the soldiers at that time.
As a general, his eyes were limited to the life and death of one soldier, and he did not prioritize his own preservation and play a greater role. This can be called stupid. But it also became the reason why people miss him.
Jiang Wang reached out to lift the man up, patted his shoulder and planned to leave. But the crowd knelt down in large numbers.
Everyone started shouting.
Which city had he conquered with him, which general had he beheaded with him, who had raised the flag with him, who had shared wine with him... In the end, they all asked him why he left.
Jiang Wang had no choice but to raise his palm and make a downward movement to silence these hot-blooded soldiers.
"The imperial court has its own announcement on this matter, so I won't go into details. The specific situation shall be subject to the imperial court announcement." He glanced around one by one and said sincerely: "But gentlemen, I will never forget to fight side by side with you.
It’s a day. Farewell today is not farewell forever. See you again in the future. I will toast you all!”
"Let me toast you first!" Li Longchuan, with a jade belt on his forehead, walked out of the crowd, holding a pot of wine in his hand and two wine glasses between his fingers.
As he walked out, he kicked people with his boots: "Everyone, get up. I've made up my mind. You can say goodbye and that's it."
The soldiers stood up one after another.
This brave young general did not hide his dissatisfaction at all, and his walking posture was very resentful.
"I didn't want to come, but my sister insisted that I give it to you for her to practice a glass of wine for you..." He said, pouring a glass of wine at will, handed it to Jiang Wang in a dismissive manner, and said: "Sigh.
!”
Jiang Wang could completely understand his friend's emotions and just smiled: "Drink the wine you brought me today!"
He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
He turned the rim of the cup down and said with a smile: "Say hello to Sister Fengyao for me. I hope I will have the opportunity to apologize face to face in the future."
However, Li Longchuan felt a little embarrassed and coquettishly joined him for a drink.
When the wine goes down, some shame sinks and some worry rises.
He said seriously: "I hope we won't meet on the battlefield."
In today's world, countries are constantly fighting each other. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king. The exchange of talents is a normal thing. The current Prime Minister of Da Qi, Jiang Rumo, also moved from the State of Shen with his grandfather when he was a child.
However, it varies from person to person. For example, the more the emperor values a country's genius like Jiang Wang, who has outstanding military exploits, the less he will let him serve as the sword of other countries.
Jiang Wang promised not to serve in other countries. The reason why this promise was believed was not only because of Jiang Wang's personal character, but also because of his actual actions when he came back to Qi to resign face to face.
This reason is very simple - if he wants to go to any overlord country in the world, he can go directly. The pressure of Qi State will be borne by those overlords. There is no need for him to go back to Qi State and risk his life and death.
Testing Emperor Qi's mood.
Not many people know what Jiang Wang wants to do next. In Jiang Wang's opinion, apart from Chong Xuan Sheng, there should be only Dang Tianzi.
Because he almost never mentioned Zhuang Gaoxian in front of others, during this long and difficult journey, he remained silent and swallowed blood in his stomach.
Therefore, Li Longchuan does not understand the weight of this sentence "I hope there will be a chance in the future" said with a smile.
But he understood the weight of Li Longchuan's words "Don't meet on the battlefield." He gave up all his fame and fortune in Qi State and showed his ruthlessness in seeking truth. Li Longchuan still regarded him as a good friend.
So he solemnly said: "Absolutely not."
The person who walked out of the crowd after Li Longchuan was the most popular brother Yan Fu and Yan Xian in the Linzi aristocratic circle.
"I won't drink with you anymore. I have something to do later." He explained in a casual tone, as if Jiang Wang was simply going on a long trip and casually photographed a stack of house deeds into Jiang Wang's hands: "There are some houses here.
, are available in several major countries in the five regions, you can live wherever it is convenient for you. You don’t have to worry about buying it yourself.”
This dazzling light of wealth forced Li Longchuan to retreat repeatedly, covering his mouth and nose lightly to express the dislike of a well-known boy for A Duwu.
Jiang Wang stuffed the stack of house deeds back and said seriously: "I appreciate Brother Yan Xian's kindness, but I am devoted to seeking enlightenment. From now on, I should be in deep mountains and forests, in wilderness and dangerous places, and there is no need for these many properties."
Yan Fu glanced at him thoughtfully, and patted a storage box on Jiang Wang's hand: "Keep this box of talismans and seals for self-defense. If you live in the deep mountains and old forests, snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. are also quite dangerous.
trouble."
Jiang Wang was afraid that he would see something again, so he put it away carelessly: "Then I will be disrespectful and I will bring you some local specialties from the deep mountains and forests later."
At this time, a dark and skinny boy emerged from the crowd and immediately hugged Jiang Wang's thigh. Before he could speak, he burst into tears.
Then he shouted loudly and horribly, "Master!"
Jiang Wang looked at him helplessly.
He raised his face with tears in his eyes: "Master, I will go with you. I will hold a sword for you!"
"Little bastard! Is this what I taught you?" The contemporary Bowang Hou stepped into the arena angrily: "What did I teach you to say? Tell you not to leave!"
Chu Yao hugged his master's thigh tightly, crying very sadly but expressing clearly: "My master is the best in the world, but he is not happy. If he leaves, I will be happy, and I will go with him."
Jiang Wang knew early on that no one but Chongxuan Pang could organize so many old men to come over in such a short period of time. But he knew in his heart that this close friend was not so much trying to keep him by playing emotional cards, but actually it was more about keeping him.
Let him say goodbye properly before leaving Qi State, so that he can leave without any worries.
He rubbed Chu Yao's forehead and said warmly: "Master can't take you away now. You are my disciple, Jiang Wang, and you can understand the truth, so I will reason with you. First, your mother is here
Linzi, you have to stay and take care of her. Secondly, you are still young and your body has not matured yet, so you are not ready to let go of practice. What you need now is to settle down and study hard instead of traveling thousands of miles.
Third, I will leave the swordsmanship you are going to learn next with your Uncle Chongxuan, and I will check it when we meet next time...can you pass my inspection?"
Although Chu Yao is smart, he is still young after all. He only thinks that what the master said makes sense, and Chu Yao is indeed a person who understands the truth. When he heard the last question, he nodded subconsciously: "Yes!"
"Good apprentice." Jiang Wang praised: "You really make me look good!"
Chu Yao wiped away his tears and seemed to be proud.
Chong Xuan Sheng rolled his eyes.
He ran out after Chu Yao, but Yi Shishi and Yi Huaimin were standing together in the crowd. The two brothers and sisters were two extremes.
Fourteen just watched all this and said nothing quietly, while Yi Huaimin shouted: "Brother Jiang! Do you still remember our agreement? It's better to meet by chance than to invite, otherwise today..."
Jiang Wang had no choice but to cup his hands and apologize, "I'll do it next time."
Yi Huaimin was still about to make a fuss when he saw Jiang Wuyou, the master of Huaying Palace striding towards him. He closed his mouth knowingly and retracted his long neck.
Jiang Wuyou had no entourage today. He simply wore a military uniform and tied a ponytail. He probably came from Huaying Palace just after finishing his morning exercises. Judging from the dense sweat on his forehead, the intensity of his morning exercises was very high.
Gao. With her own martial arts strength, it is not easy to sweat.
Adhering to her usual concise style, she only asked: "Jiang Qingyang, don't you have any attachment to Qi Guo?"
This isn't just her problem.
This is also a question that many friends want to ask but fail to ask -
When your friend says that he wants to let go of everything he has and pursue his own path with great courage, as a friend, how can you block his path in the name of friendship?
So Li Longchuan was just aggrieved, so Yi Huaimin just shouted "agreement".
At this moment, Jiang Wang looked at Jiang Wuyou. The morning light was flowing on her wheat-colored skin, giving her a vigorous vitality that was different from other crown princes in addition to her dignity. And her eyes were so heroic and so sharp at this moment.
.
Your Highness, I am attached to everything in Qi, and this is the reason for my resignation. Jiang Wang murmured in his heart.
But he could only reply: "Your Highness, my way is not here."
Jiang Wuyou looked at him quietly.
He also looked back calmly.
Finally, Jiang Wuyou said: "Remember when you agreed to Gu's request?"
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly. "Of course."
He always remembered that he still owed Jiang Wuyou a promise, that he would help Jiang Wuyou with all his strength without reservation, in order to repay Jiang Wuyou for his help in rescuing Zhu Biqiong.
If Jiang Wuyou asked him to stay, he would definitely stay.
Even though his heart is very hungry and needs to swallow the painful fruit of hatred, he can no longer hold back even when he is in the demon world!
"Forgive Qi Shuai." Jiang Wuyou said, "Although she doesn't need it, this is Gu's only request."
Jiang Wang remained silent.
Jiang Wuyou looked into his eyes: "You're right, that's not a deal."
Then he turned around and left in the morning light.
She knew that Jiang Wang intended to cut off, so she took the initiative to unravel the cause and effect.
