Shangyuan Road, Qingshan Ancient City.
Chang Qingyu sat cross-legged on the roof of the quiet room, next to her was her master Tian Mingzi, who silently guided her in practicing sword skills. The latter's disguise was exposed, and he was too lazy to act anymore. He lay on the roof humming and basking in the sun. He hadn't touched roast goose for two days.
This is good news for Chang Qingyu. Now she is nearly a hundred years old, she has gotten rid of the greasy type and returned from the flavorful sauce-flavored type of beauty to the fragrant type of beauty.
There is bad news too.
Chang Qingyu has been feeling restless these past two days and has been unable to calm down to practice. In addition to being dissatisfied with his cheap master's teaching philosophy of "cultivation is up to the individual", he is also curious about his master's identity.
"Master, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and my disciple cannot calm down." Chang Qingyu opened his eyes, looked at Lu Bei and sighed softly.
“Close your eyes and dance with the wind, and your heart will be calm.”
Lu Bei didn't care. After having enough food and clothing, he thought about practicing. He was thinking about fighting with the two palace masters and exchanging experiences.
"But the wind is so strong that I am afraid I will fly away while dancing. Master, you don't know that the news has spread outside."
Chang Qingyu moved behind Lu Bei and carefully massaged his shoulders and back: "Master, there is no one here, tell me in secret who you are, so that I can have a better idea."
“Is it important? My current status as a teacher is not worthy of teaching you?” Lu Bei said unhappily, maintaining his teacher’s temperament tightly.
"That's not the case. My ancestor said that being able to worship a famous teacher like you is a blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes."
Chang Qingyu smiled and acted cute, looking aggrieved, "But a teacher is like a father. Master, you don't want your disciple to not even know who his father is, like a fool, right?"
Lu Bei: “…”
To be fair, he felt it was better for Senior Sister Shao not to know.
After all, there is a difference between acting like a fool and being a real fool.
"Master, please say something!"
"There is nothing much to say. I am tired as your teacher. You should practice hard and stop thinking about random things." Lu Bei turned over and jumped down, closing the door of the quiet room.

Who is the true identity of "Tian Mingzi"? Is it important
Very important.
Because the anonymous people from the Holy Land had no impression of this colleague, as if he popped out of a stone, all kinds of intelligence comparisons could not confirm his true identity.
Prince Yan said that 'Tian Ming Zi' was Emperor Ji's man, and Liu Shen Chang Wen Yuan and Jiang Bie He believed it without a doubt. Several anonymous people from the holy land argued that there was no such colleague, and the two were half-believing and half-doubting.
After some analysis, everyone could only guess that Emperor Ji had two plans, one open and one hidden. 'Tian Ming Zi' was the hidden one, a confidant secretly cultivated by Emperor Ji, a Mahayana cultivator who was little known even in the holy land.
It's somewhat unreliable, but based on the current information, 'Tian Mingzi' came in the name of Emperor Ji and is one of us, there is no doubt about that.
After the brief discussion, no one wasted too much time on Tianmingzi. Bad news came one after another from the strongholds of Zhaoqin in various places. Even the marginal areas were firmly controlled by the Imperial Observatory. Under the overwhelming force of the situation, the royal family was defeated and was forced into a state of suffocation by Prince Yan.
There was a huge disparity in the intelligence capabilities of the two sides, and the failure to capture Meng Yuan was only a microcosm of the overall situation of Zhao Qin. Prince Yan seized the initiative everywhere, and every move he made made the royal family run around in a hurry. They could do nothing but minimize the losses.
In addition to the huge difference in intelligence capabilities, the bargaining chips in the hands of the royal family are far from comparable to those of Prince Yan.
It is a shame to say that the current Emperor Zhao Qin, the old emperor who appointed Jiang He as the crown prince, is under house arrest in the capital by Prince Yan.
As an emperor of a country, his orders could not be issued outside the palace, and he was surrounded by only a group of beautiful concubines. His daily life was boring, dull and depressing, and he could only feel at ease for a few seconds occasionally.
Yes, the golden dragon of Zhao Qin's destiny, with the capital at its head and Tianzi Mountain at its tail, is held in Prince Yan's hands.
The resistance forces of the royal family scattered across the country were labeled as rebels. According to the current situation, they would soon be defeated.
"We can't go on like this. I've said before that if we don't make a decision, we'll suffer the consequences. You shouldn't harbor any illusions!"
Four people sat down in the ink-and-wash sky map.
Hengxue Willow God Chang Wenyuan, Five Elders Dong Quhe, King Xin Jiang Li, and the Nameless Zuo Ziyue of the Holy Land.
The person who was speaking was Jiang Li, who had a handsome appearance, was dignified and accomplished, and even when he was in a friendly manner, he gave people a sense of majesty and dominance.
Jiang Li was born into a noble family and could inherit the throne without any effort in his life. Looking at the entire Zhao Qin, except for those in the imperial city, no one had a better ability to be reincarnated than him.
At that time, Zhao Qin faced an unprecedented difficulty in the empire. The spiritual practice forces in various places grew stronger and tacitly resisted the royal family. The influence of the Jiang family was declining day by day.
The external threat is the surrounding vassal states, which have united various spiritual forces and want to undermine the Jiang family and turn Zhao Qin into the second Da Xia.
I would like to add that the former Wuliang Sword Sect was a practice force that only obeyed orders but not announcements.
Faced with internal and external troubles, Jiang Li suddenly realized that he wanted to give up the role of a second-generation rich kid. Being a playboy could not save Zhao Qin, so he decided to become a martial artist.
He practiced hard to realize his talent and had great ambitions, hoping to turn the tide and save the collapsing building.
Failed.
It’s not that Jiang Li didn’t work hard enough, nor is it that he has poor talent. How could Prince Xin, who can compete with God Willow, be a mediocre person
The reason why he failed was that he got the script of the prodigal son, but not the script of the leading role.
Before Jiang Li could realize his ambitions, someone realized his dream ahead of time, led Zhao Qin out of the abyss of no return, and restored the national strength to its peak.
Jiang Suxin.
Like Zhu of Wu Zhou, Jiang of Zhao Qin was also quite large, with royal family members spread all over the world. The Jiang family had so many blood relatives that the genealogy directory could fill up ten Qiankun rings.
As the number of people increases, the quality begins to vary. Some are expensive, while others are cheap.
If Jiang Li is the noble one, then Jiang Suxin's background is much more ordinary. Apart from his surname Jiang, he has almost nothing to do with the royal family.
When he was young, Jiang Su was determined to study hard, make progress every day, read books, take imperial examinations, govern and save the country.
After suffering several beatings from society, he realized that although reading had taught him how to reason, he lacked the means to make people sit down and listen to him quietly.
Then practice!
Jiang Suxin missed the best period for cultivation, and her starting point was far behind Jiang Li's. Apart from being able to read, she had nothing else.
The question is, for someone who can't even take out ten taels of silver, it's hard for him to learn martial arts, so how can he achieve anything in the path to immortality
able.
A top student is a top student wherever he goes, and this is also true across disciplines.
Jiang Suxin has been reading books all her life and deeply understands a truth: reading books is to understand the truth, understanding the truth is to do things, and doing things...
The sharpness of a sword is forged through self-grinding!
Only after experiencing all the ups and downs of life and tasting all the hardships of life can one understand the vicissitudes of life and be qualified to comprehend the teachings of the sages and obtain the great way of nature.
Reading is to understand the truth, doing things is to realize the truth, reading is to realize the truth!
So, when Jiang Li came out of seclusion full of enthusiasm and wanted to revive the empire, he sadly discovered that the world had already been peaceful.
Therefore, the relationship between Jiang Li and Jiang Suxin is not good, but it is not out of jealousy...
Okay, there is some jealousy.
Jiang Li not only admired Jiang Suxin's achievements but also felt a bit dissatisfied. He said sourly that he could be as good as her, but he just couldn't catch up.
My heart is flawed and I dream of crossing this mountain.
The opportunity has come.
Jiang Suxin blamed himself. If he had ascended the throne earlier, his achievements would have been unstoppable. But he didn't. In order to pacify all the unstable factors in the world, he himself became the biggest unstable factor.
The royal family needs to consolidate its regime, and the rising spiritual practice forces need a larger living space. Contradictions are piling up and interests are intertwined. Jiang Suxin could suppress them for a hundred years, but not for a thousand years. Finally, he became the new BOSS.
Here I would like to anonymously praise a certain leader of the Tianjian Sect, who broke through a copy of a certain country. He was greedy, lustful, profit-driven, insidious, cunning, and narrow-minded. Every pore of his body was brimming with the ugliness of human nature. He had too many shortcomings to count, and was a complete scum in the world of immortal cultivation.
Shortcomings are weaknesses, which are controllable risks and it is not difficult to target them.
Jiang Suxin is different. She is so perfect that she has no flaws and no weaknesses can be found. This is a complete uncontrollable risk.
If you can’t even find the moral high ground, how can others survive
With no chance to survive, they had no choice but to rebel against TND.
From Jiang Suxin's perspective, the chaos in Zhao Qin lies in the fact that the royal family is useless. They are incompetent at everything, eat everything they want, and only think about making money all day long.
The various forces are no longer thinking about cultivating immortals and seeking the truth, but are only concerned about competing for fame and fortune.
A bunch of traitors have no clue what they are doing. They want to advance without any ability. If Zhao Qin is left to them, it will be finished sooner or later.
He has to do it himself!
The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable. From their respective perspectives, the other side is blocking their way. There is no other solution to this problem except a fight to the death.
For the Great Xia Emperor, the civil strife in Zhao Qin was a godsend. It was impossible to stand with Prince Yan, and the relatively weak royal family was the priority option.
First, it is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake. Second,...
Emperor Ji and Prince Yan also have irreconcilable contradictions, and sooner or later they will end up fighting to the death.
As a lackey of Emperor Ji, Zuo Ziyue came anonymously with two colleagues under secret orders. Holding the trump card, he said nothing at the meeting. No matter who expressed an opinion, he would agree with it. Yes, yes, yes.
"I have said it before, Jiang Suxin is cautious in every step. He is well-versed in the art of war, and he put down rebellions in his early years. He has also written books. If you play with him in terms of the overall situation, you will only be led by him by the nose." Jiang Li said hatefully, using the cruelest tone to say the most submissive words.
In a nutshell, Jiang Suxin is well-read and they are no match for her.
"Prince Xin's words make sense, and Prince Yan's talent is amazing. I, Zuo, cannot compare to them." Zuo Ziyue nodded in agreement.
"A chaotic war will damage the country's strength and is not advisable."
Qu He shook his head. As the teacher of Crown Prince Jiang He, he attended the meeting on behalf of the old emperor in the capital, and also represented the opinions of the Five Elders of Southern Xinjiang.
Meng Yuan changed teams, and now only the four elders are left.
“What Fellow Daoist Qu He said is true. When two tigers fight, the smaller one will die and the bigger one will be injured. No matter which side wins, it will only hurt Zhao Qin's vitality. This is not advisable.” Zuo Ziyue nodded in agreement.
"If you don't want to fight, what are you going to do? Just sit there and wait to die?"
Jiang Li snorted coldly: "In my opinion, Jiang Suxin controls the capital and Tianzi Mountain. The destiny of Zhao Qin is all in his hands. If we can't seize a lineage and fight quickly, the casualties will only be more severe."
"Prince Xin is right. This is a situation that needs to be decided. We must not be indecisive and cannot delay it any longer." Zuo Ziyue nodded in agreement.
"…" x3
Jiang Li, Qu He, and even the silent Chang Wenyuan were all helpless. They had thought that the envoy from the Holy Land would interfere and make decisions based on their status.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Ziyue and the other two were right in public and did not offend anyone, while Tian Mingzi was secretly acting crazy and stupid, not doing anything active except fighting.
You bunch of old guys from the holy land, can't you give some constructive suggestions
Even if you can just participate for a bit it would be nice!
