Actually, knowing this news is of little use, because the Jiang family is now on the protagonist's side, and she still has to help eliminate some spies. Sigh, she did a good deed but no one knows. This is the disadvantage of the underworld: you can't show off in front of others.
A few days later, the Eighth Prince's imperial edict arrived, ordering the protagonist to lead troops to quell the rebellion. However, the protagonist was not stupid enough to be used as a pawn by the emperor. Instead, he staged a self-directed invasion from outside the capital. Wasn't there a mysterious army before? Now they had surrounded Liangzhou City and staged a scene, risking their lives to send the messenger out, urging the emperor to allocate money and supplies as soon as possible.
They surrounded Liangzhou City but didn't attack, giving the impression of trapping people. They also took care of the spies inside the city. The Wang and Song families were being closely watched, mainly because they couldn't quite grasp the situation.
Given the current situation, it's impossible for you to remain neutral and not side with anyone, especially since this is their stronghold. Once the protagonist destroys the barbarians and finds evidence of collusion between the Wang and Song families and the barbarians, the two families will soon be wiped out.
At first, the people in the besieged city were very uneasy. After half a month, seeing that they still hadn't made any moves, everyone realized that they weren't after Liangzhou City. One of the bolder people went directly to the city wall to watch the excitement. If he hadn't been chased down by the soldiers, he would have sold food to the people.
When Jiang Yue learned about this, his lips twitched. How come there are abstract people everywhere? Wasn't he afraid that the Ninth Prince would accuse him of espionage and kill him? After being detained for half a month, this person even went to a teahouse to brag. Jiang Yue really admired these talented people.
Liangzhou City was besieged for a month, and the imperial court did not provide any support. It was as if the matter did not exist. None of the other princes caused trouble. They were all busy vying for the throne. Who would care about a prince who had been exiled? The last time he repelled the barbarians was just luck.
After being besieged for a month and a half, Liangzhou City was finally unsealed. Jiang Yue knew the reason was that the barbarians had been wiped out, and if the siege continued, no one would dare to do business there. The city's food supply was also running out. The day after the siege was lifted, the Wang and Song families suffered a major misfortune. Both families were arrested and put on a public trial. Those who committed heinous crimes were executed, and the survivors did not fare well either. They would probably have to mine until they died for the rest of their lives.
After a month, business slowly began to recover. After this ordeal, many people dared not come. But the turning point came soon. The protagonist established the country of China in the Northeast. Because he needed to carry out large-scale construction, he lacked everything. He sent an envoy to Liangzhou to discuss trade. Merchants who smelled the opportunity were like sharks. In less than two months, the economy was revitalized. The protagonist, who had wiped out the barbarians, was not short of money for a short time.
While the protagonist was busy, Jiang Yue wasn't idle either. Her strength had reached the Land Immortal Realm. Because the curtain had been raised and spiritual energy had begun to recover, Jiang Yue took the opportunity to find a spiritual cave and broke through directly. After she consolidated her strength, Jiang Yue turned this spiritual cave into a training base for her secret guards. They would train here from now on.
Although she can sense that she hasn't reached the limit of her cultivation level, she has no more techniques to advance further. It seems she will have to return to her ancestral home. However, given the current situation, it will be difficult to obtain her parents' consent without explaining the circumstances.
Let's just wait. Anyway, the war will be over in a few years. It will also take Jiang Yue some time to reach the peak of the Land Immortal realm. In addition, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is not enough for her to continue breaking through. There's no need to rush this.
Jiang Yue had originally intended to discuss the spiritual energy revival with her father, but he brought it up during dinner that evening. He even gave them several nearby locations to cultivate at. Jiang Yue glanced at them and realized they were all locations of spiritual acupoints. Of course, if Jiang Yue knew them, others certainly could too; he wasn't hiding anything about the spiritual energy revival.
"Don't go out and wander around during this time. With the resurgence of spiritual energy, some old monsters will come out. Our family's patriarchs are busy cultivating, so there's no one to protect you."
"knew."
After the meeting, Xiao Cui stared at Jiang Yue with her bright, sparkling eyes. Jiang Yue helplessly patted her head and said, "Go on, go on. I won't go out for a while."
"hey-hey."
After learning that Jiang Yue was at the same cultivation level as her, Xiao Cui felt pressured and had been cultivating in seclusion every day recently. Now that she had the spiritual acupoint, she couldn't resist the urge to cultivate any longer. After Xiao Cui left, Jiang Yue prepared to go to the secret chamber, where there were many martial arts techniques, so she could practice them in her spare time.
On the way to the secret room, there didn't seem to be many people, but Jiang Yue was actually scanned several times in secret. Of course, she was able to swagger in because she had spoken to her father beforehand, and Jiang Yue's talent was indeed quite good, which was why she was qualified.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Jiang Yue found it to be more spacious than she had imagined. The walls were covered with ancient runes that emitted a faint light. Jiang Yue was quite surprised, as she seemed to have never seen these runes before. On a whim, she asked Bai Ze to record the runes on the walls of the secret chamber.
She found a place to start reading and asked Bai Ze to scan the books in the secret room so she wouldn't have to come in to read them again. Bai Ze could keep them without worrying about them being leaked. After Jiang Yue memorized a few martial arts techniques, Bai Ze finished scanning them and then left the secret room.
After leaving the secret room, Jiang Yue went to the library in the open. The guard there was the nineteenth elder of the Jiang family. He used to be a Grandmaster and had recently broken through to the Unity of Heaven and Man. The nineteenth elder especially loved reading, so he spent every day in the library. Jiang Yue wanted to ask him if he knew what those runes were.
Although Bai Ze could gradually deduce it, it would be easier to find out what it was by asking, rather than by experimenting on his own. There were only a few people in the library, just some children reading novels.
Jiang Yue walked up to the Nineteenth Elder, bowed, and asked, "Do you know what those runes in the secret chamber mean? Are there any books on them?"
"It's you, little girl. There are very few records of those things in the family. As far as I know, there isn't much research on them in the family. The carvings in the secret chamber are just copied from the originals. Their function is to keep the secret chamber dry and to provide some lighting."
"It originally had many functions, including protection, early warning, and identification of friendly and enemy personnel, but we didn't learn them well enough, and now only these useless functions are left."
"Elder, where is the original version?"
Elder Nineteen glanced at Jiang Yue, then thought that she knew about the main family's affairs: "The original is with the main family. It was drawn from memory after our ancestor left. Because there was no relevant information and not many people studied it, it has been passed down to our generation and no one understands it."
