The sudden news shattered the peace: King Cheng, Wei Qi, personally led his troops back to the capital to quell the rebellion of the rebel king.
Tang Jian, Ren Tianci, and Han Qingyuan naturally left with King Cheng.
As time went by, Tang's mother's birthday arrived.
Because of Tang Jian's absence, Tang's mother was not in the mood for a big celebration, and the family simply gathered together for a brief reunion.
News from Kyoto also arrived like snowflakes.
The emperor was speechless.
Less than three days after the second prince ascended the throne, the third prince actually produced two Heavenly Stones (crystal cores) to show to the world, ordering all the heroes and ministers to force the second prince to abdicate, trapping him to death in the imperial city.
Lin Zao was surprised to find that the Third Prince had two crystal cores. She guessed that one of them was found according to the treasure map, but she had no idea about the other one.
It wasn't until Lin Zao received a message from Tang Jian saying that the Third Prince was accompanied by a guard named Tang Dali that she realized what was going on.
The crystal core she lost back then must have been taken by Tang Dali.
With Tian Shi's help, the Third Prince successfully ascended the throne.
And the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to issue an edict to the fifth prince, Prince Cheng, for plotting a rebellion, and to order an attack on Ganzhou, capturing Prince Cheng and his family alive.
Upon hearing this news, Ganzhou was immediately thrown into a state of panic.
Upon receiving the news, King Cheng led his troops to garrison on the border of Yaozhou.
King Cheng also produced two Heavenly Stones and evidence of the Third Prince and the Second Prince's conspiracy to rebel, announcing the Third Prince's crimes to the world. Many ministers turned against him and joined King Cheng's side, and the two sides were thus locked in a standoff.
However, King Cheng's side had sharp weapons such as steel knives, crossbows, and telescopes, as well as plenty of food. Even Lin Zao had sent all the usable supplies in his space to Tang Jian.
In this war, the Third Prince's side naturally suffered repeated defeats.
The battle continued until July of the following year. The Third Prince's side was already at its wits' end, while the King's side was about to see the dawn of victory.
A plague suddenly broke out in Ganzhou City, and rumors spread throughout the city that King Cheng had angered Heaven and was therefore being punished.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhang and Hua Nanxing, the successor of the Divine Doctor Valley, stepped forward and distributed the medicine that could treat malaria to the people of Ganzhou free of charge in the name of the Prince Cheng's Mansion.
The news that malaria could be cured spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty in no time, and King Cheng's reputation reached its peak.
The third prince's final struggle was futile, and he hanged himself in the palace.
King Cheng ascended the throne in accordance with the will of the people.
Then they began to reward those who had made contributions.
Tang Jian was appointed Grand Marshal, Ren Tianci was appointed Right Chancellor, and Han Qingyuan was appointed Vice Minister of War...
Tang Jian then relinquished his military power and begged the emperor to allow him to retire from the army and return to his hometown.
Despite the emperor's repeated admonitions, Tang Jian remained adamant and had no choice but to reclaim his military power. At the same time, the emperor enfeoffed Tang Jian as a king of a different surname and granted him the fief of Ganzhou.
By the time Tang Jian returned to Ganzhou, it was almost New Year's Eve.
The family gathered happily together, and the children excitedly clamored to go somewhere fun.
Tang Jian then took Lin Zao's hand and asked.
"Now that the world is at peace, I finally have time to accompany you on your travels. May I ask where my wife would like to go?"
Lin Zao smiled, put her arm around Tang Jian's, and thought for a moment.
“Wuyi, I heard there’s a big snow mountain there.”
"good."
***
Ten years later.
A woman in white skipped and hopped out of the poisonous miasma of the deep forest.
Unfortunately, they hadn't gone far when a middle-aged man in purple called out to them.
"Tang Jianing! Stop right there!"
Upon hearing the sound, the woman in white named Tang Jianing stomped her foot in annoyance and muttered a complaint.
"Damn it, we've been discovered again!"
After saying that, he put on a smile and turned around to show a flattering smile.
"Uncle, Jia Ning just wants to go down the mountain for a bit, please let me go, okay?"
Ji Yunfei, the man in purple, frowned.
"Nonsense! No matter what, you can't just sneak away by yourself. Do you know how dangerous it is outside? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to face your parents?"
Tang Jianing, also known as Ya Ya, pouted.
“I’m a grown man, what are you worried about, Uncle? My brother was able to go to the battlefield three years ago, why can’t I? Besides, I have Gale!”
Ji Yunfei sighed, "You really want to leave?"
"Uncle, I miss Mommy~" Seeing that Ji Yunfei seemed to have calmed down, Ya Ya quickly ran over and hugged his arm, acting coquettishly.
Ji Yunfei raised an eyebrow. "You should know that the time I agreed with your parents is still three years away."
Back then, when Tang Jian and his group came to Wuyi to search for the snow mountain, they unexpectedly encountered Ji Yunfei. Ji Yunfei recognized Lin Zao's identity as soon as he saw her.
Upon learning that his aunt Ji Ruxue had died and that the sacred object had been offered to the new emperor, Ji Yunfei, filled with sorrow, could only ask Lin Zao to stay and inherit the position of Holy Maiden.
To persuade Lin Zao to agree, Ji Yunfei even brought out the clan's secret treasure, the Extreme Cold Snow Clam.
Unexpectedly, the legendary extremely cold snow frog actually exists; Ren Tianci's face is just missing this ingredient.
The couple naturally wanted the extremely cold snow frog, but Tang Jian refused to let Lin Zao stay. Coincidentally, they also discovered that Lin Zao was pregnant at the time, making it even more impossible.
While the two sides were in a standoff, Ya Ya stepped forward and said she was willing to stay in place of her mother. They agreed that Ya Ya could only leave the tribe when she turned 18, which explains this scene.
"Uncle, I'll only be gone for two months and then I'll be back, okay?" Although her parents come to see her every year, she also wants to go back and see her friends.
I wonder if Xiao Bao still remembers her?
Ji Yunfei coughed lightly, "You can go back if you want, but it's too dangerous for you to go alone. How about this, let your cousin Yuze go back with you."
Upon hearing this, Ya Ya quickly shook her head, "I don't want to bring that tagalong with me."
Ji Yunfei: "One year. I'll give you one year."
"make a deal!"
And so a new story begins here.
