'Oh. '

Although Jiang Bei could tell from Lu Yinlong's tone that he was implying himself, there was a high probability that he was guessing.

But the system asked him to show his cards directly, which showed that Lu Yinlong was already quite sure.

'Old Fox...'

Ever since he knew the backgrounds of Lin Yuyan and Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran felt more and more that something was wrong with his suzerain. Although the two women were most likely sent by the Dao of Heaven to target him, why not send them to other places, but to Guixinzong.

In addition, as one of the easiest people to trick him, Jiang Beiran didn't believe that Tiandao would let such a convenient "pawn" like Lu Yinlong go.

'This is a battle of wits and courage again...'

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran replied with a smile: "Sovereign, just say that you guessed it was my idea."

[Optional task completed, reward: Concentration +1]

Seeing Jiang Beiran's quick answer, Lu Yinlong was taken aback for a moment, but soon he laughed and said, "Beiran, do you have hard wings?"

"I don't dare. The disciple just thinks that the contribution made by the disciple is the contribution of the sect. If the suzerain is dissatisfied, the disciple must report it before doing something next time."

Taking a look at Jiang Beiran, Lu Yinlong shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, it was just a joke just now, you've done a good job, just keep going."

"Yes." Jiang Bei cupped his hands.

Then the two chatted for a while about the changes in Lulin County over the past year, as well as some future plans, and then Jiang Beiran left.

Looking at the back of Jiang Beiran leaving, Lu Yinlong played with the jade finger on his left index finger.

"This jade can't be cut... but I have become a weapon, but I don't know who will wear it in the end."

Leaving Tianyun Peak, Jiang Bei ran straight to the house in Jinyao Town at the foot of the mountain.

Entering the backyard, Jiang Beiran entered the self-enchantment in an instant.

"Um?"

The moment he entered the enchantment, Jiang Beiran felt a dry and hot aura straight into his nasal cavity, and the degree of richness was indeed a bit high.

"Brother!?"

Jiang Bei was stunned when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, Jiang Beiran almost laughed out loud.

Currently only Wu Qingce and Gu Qinghuan can enter his self-enchantment.

Although the person in front of him had Qing Huan's face, his figure was a bit too burly.

Jiang Bei Ranyao remembered that before he set off for Qi Country, Gu Qinghuan was still a handsome scholar, but now the granite-like muscles on his arms are simply overwhelming those so-called bodybuilders.

"Are you...?" Jiang Beiran asked, looking at Gu Qinghuan's body.

Gu Qinghuan, who trotted all the way to Jiang Beiran, cupped his hands and replied: "Returning to senior brother, I have never forgotten my senior brother's instructions in the past year. I practice hard forging skills every day. Over time, this has become like this."

Patting Gu Qinghuan on the shoulder, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Well, brother is very pleased."

It's just that Gu Qinghuan has always been the image of a strategist full of tricks in Jiang Beiran's heart, but now he has become so strong, and his style of painting has changed a bit.

'Just hope his brain doesn't turn into a muscle...'

Gu Qinghuan is probably one of the most calm people about the sudden disappearance of his senior brother for more than a year.

When Gu Qinghuan was young, he was also pretentious. Although he was not talented in cultivation, in his eyes, those so-called geniuses were nothing more than prematurely dead ghosts with some talent.

On this continent where the strong are like clouds, cultivation is of course very important, but an exquisite heart with seven apertures is also absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, if geniuses do not live long enough, they will not be as good as those ordinary people, because high talents are often recruited by them. One of the reasons for the murder.

When it comes to dealing with people and observing words and demeanor, Gu Qinghuan has always had a strong self-confidence, so even though his own cultivation talent is not very good, he still entered the best sect in Lulin County by relying on his excellent negotiation skills.

But not long after entering the sect, he met an almost perfect senior brother.

That's right, perfect. Gu Qinghuan, who looks like a short-lived ghost to everyone, can't find any flaws in this senior brother. His caution is not only prudence, but a prophecy like a prophet. Hidden in the city alone.

Gu Qinghuan always thought that she could see through people's hearts, what they saw, what they got, and what they thought, but she couldn't see through this senior at all, not at all.

He could never guess what this senior brother would do next, let alone what he was thinking in his heart.

So even though they only got along for a few days, Gu Qinghuan decided that he was definitely a powerful person worth relying on.

Today, Gu Qinghuan has not changed his original intentions, and still feels that his senior brother is the most important person in the world who knows how to control people's hearts. If such a big person is to die one day because of his involvement in some incident, then this crisis may destroy the entire Xuanlong Continent.

'This aura...is it really a fire aura? '

Although Jiang Beiran was skeptical when he inhaled the first breath of spiritual energy, he felt that it was impossible. Now after taking a few breaths, he was completely sure that his self-enchanting barrier was indeed full of fire spiritual energy.

Although the purity of this fire aura is completely incomparable to that of the Qi country's wood spirit vein, it is still a five-element aura that surpasses ordinary aura.

After confirming this point, Jiang Bei ran a mental scan of Gu Qinghuan.

'Ghost...'

I don't know if I don't scan, but with a light scan, Jiang Beiran found that Gu Qinghuan had been promoted to Xuanling.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in his body is endless, and even if he can't fight like those mysterious saints without relying on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it will be far more durable than most practitioners.

Thinking about what Gu Qinghuan had done over the past year, Jiang Beiran soon understood why.

First of all, as a "battery", Gu Qinghuan has been glowing and glowing in this self-enchantment, that is, the self-environment has been absorbing the spiritual energy that he has dissolved with the True Yuan Tiangang Jue.

Plus the Zhurong tea I gave him before leaving.

The combination of the three evolved into a small amount of fire aura in Gu Qinghuan's body after drinking Zhurong tea for a long time, and this fire aura was continuously dissipated by Zhenyuan Tiangang, and after the cultivation of the self-enchantment, this trace of fire aura She was raised more and more intensely, and finally was sucked back by Gu Qinghuan.

If things go on like this, not only is Gu Qinghuan himself filled with fire aura, but also "fire" in the self-enchantment.

'There is such a good thing? '

A self-enchantment full of fire aura sounds exciting.

Jiang Beiran, who felt that he had made a lot of money, was in a good mood. Although he had just enjoyed the top-matched five-element spirit vein, it didn't make him look down on the lowest-matched one, not to mention that he might be able to raise it better in the future

While Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to cultivate and use this fire aura to form a barrier for himself, Gu Qinghuan handed over a bag and said, "Brother, here are all the materials we collected for you, because the things you listed for me before you left The first list has already been prepared, so I will help you find some other things on my own."

Taking the bag, Jiang Beiran found that it was filled with Qiankun rings, which shows that the number is quite large.

"You always put me at ease when you do things, and what happened in the past year or so, tell me."

Although Mu Yao has already asked this question once, the level of detail in her answer is naturally not comparable to that of Lu Qinghuan.

Sure enough, after Gu Qinghuan described it again, the things worthy of attention increased a lot.

First of all, there was another change in Liang Guo, probably because of the unified goal of Sheng Guo, the suzerains of Liang Guo who were enemies with each other actually formed an alliance, planning to kill the "Cheng Guo" sheep and eat it first. full.

Today's Sheng country has suffered heavy losses many times, if it is attacked by Liang country again, it will definitely be quite uncomfortable.

However, Jiang Beiran could almost think of the reason why Liang Guo had such a crooked mind again.

As soon as he came, the emperor was gone.

Originally, according to the agreement with Su Xiuyu, the emperor himself would keep providing him with all kinds of good news for him to go back to work.

But since he disappeared suddenly for so long, Su Xiuyu probably couldn't stand it anymore.

In addition to foreign enemies, there are also undercurrents surging within Sheng Kingdom. Although Fengzhou's "military morale" has become more stable after cleaning up its internal forces, its overall strength has also been severely damaged.

This made some high-level leaders in Lanzhou a little bit ready to swallow Fengzhou.

It can be said that if the two states hadn't just worked together to solve the miasma crisis, they might have turned their faces by now.

'It really highlights internal and external troubles...'

In addition to the current situation of Sheng Country, Gu Qinghuan told Jiang Beiran about the current market of Sheng Country.

After the joint efforts of several business owners, some natural treasures from other countries have appeared in the underground black market in Sheng country.

Most of these treasures of heaven, material and earth came from unknown sources, and because they could not sell the stolen goods in their own country, they took Sheng Kingdom to cash them out.

But the black market doesn't care whether you stole it or robbed it, as long as you get it, it will definitely sell it for you at a high price.

Jiang Bei certainly likes this change. Although the black market looks like a mixed bag, it is actually far more orderly than a formal auction house, because the boss knows that the people who will come are desperadoes, so he will naturally spend money on safety management. .

In addition, they heard many legends about treasures in Sheng Kingdom and surrounding areas, but they didn't dare to act rashly without the consent of their seniors.

Jiang Beiran nodded after receiving a lot of information.

"Okay, I'll take care of these things one by one slowly." After finishing speaking, Jiang Beiran took out a booklet and handed it to Gu Qinghuan, "This is what you need to do next. But it's not urgent, so don't worry about your daily practice. fall."

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan took the booklet and saluted.

"Well, go about your own business."

After Gu Qinghuan walked away, Jiang Beiran walked into the next hut.

After pouring out the Qiankun rings in the bag one by one, Jiang Beiran began a pleasant "inspection".

'Good boy, good boy! it is good! guy. '

Probably because Qing Huan and the others had improved a lot in strength, the quality of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures collected by Gu Qinghuan himself in the latter batch was quite high, and they were of a complete variety. They even found a lot of production tools for him.

"It's great to have a younger brother."

Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran put the Qiankun ring back into the cloth bag after checking, and then left the self-enchantment.

Blowing out the auspicious clouds and flying straight to the palace, Jiang Beiran soon landed steadily in the backyard of the palace.

'The fox wasn't there, so I felt a little empty. '

Before, every time Jiang Beiran came here, Liuweihu's delicate "Master" was indispensable, but of course he couldn't hear it anymore.

'I don't know if it ever came to me. '

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran took out a whistle and blew it violently.

In less than a cup of tea, a figure appeared in front of him, it was Su Xiuyu who came in holding the phantom curtain.

The moment he saw Jiang Beiran, Su Xiuyu didn't know what expression to put on for a while, and finally he could only bow his head and salute: "See Your Majesty."

"You seem disappointed to see me again." Jiang Beiran asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Su Xiuyu was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I have absolutely no intention of doing this! Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

"What's the lesson? Do you want to dig out your heart? Anyway, no matter what you think in your heart, since you saw me, you should know what you should do."

"Yes, I understand." Su Xiuyu responded.

Taking a quick test of Su Xiuyu's cultivation with his mental power, Jiang Beiran found that he was already at the ninth level of Xuanling, and started to attack Xuanwang.

'What a genius. '

"The improvement of your cultivation base is quite fast, your master should be very proud of you."

Su Xiuyu was taken aback, wondering how Jiang Beiran knew his cultivation without touching his body.

But Su Xiuyu didn't think for too long, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Yes, my master loves me very much."

"So you don't plan to fight for Sheng Guo and Liang Guo?"

"I absolutely dare not!"

Faced with the question that the Gu worm in his head would eat his head if he answered a wrong sentence, Su Xiuyu quickly explained after expressing his position.

"Your Majesty, your sudden disappearance has caused great dissatisfaction among the suzerains of the Liang Kingdom. They no longer want to wait for the internal conflicts to erupt in the Sheng Kingdom before taking advantage of the situation to attack. They clamored for a direct confrontation."

"Then why haven't you fought until now?"

"Firstly, my subordinates are urging all suzerains, and secondly, these people are still discussing how to divide the loot after the war."

'…'

This battle hasn't been fought yet, but it's a dream first.

"Need to discuss for more than a year?" Jiang Beiran asked again.

"Discussing the spoils is just one of them. The other point is that the high-level officials also understand that Shengguo is a difficult bone, so who will take the first bite has become the main topic of their debate."

Hearing this, Jiang Bei was relieved a lot. With this scheduling ability, do you still want to engage in an allied war? Hurry up and go home and sleep.

"So you think they're coming?"

"This... I can't tell. These people are easy to get excited when they do things. Maybe they will never call, maybe they will call after an hour."

"Okay, answering means no answer, and I don't count on you anymore, wait, I'll get you something."
