Taoist Zhang slowly woke up, suddenly sat up and grimaced in pain. He looked around with a vigilant look, and was stunned when he met those dead eyes: "You, you are someone close to the Third Young Master."
Yang Er nodded and said expressionlessly, "Get up and follow me. My young master wants to take you to the Northern Wasteland. Get up."
"...Uh, my leg is injured, I'm afraid I can't walk, why don't you carry me on your back."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and no one spoke.
Yang Erer walked over without saying a word and carried the person away. It was impossible to expect him to carry the person on his back. What if he was stabbed in the neck? Wouldn't he die miserably?
Besides, Taoist Priest Zhang used to oppose the Jiang family in every way, so it would be more reassuring to arrest and lock him up.
Taoist Zhang fell headfirst, his face flushed and in great pain. He shouted, "Ahhh, please let me go. It's too uncomfortable. I can't breathe."
Yang Er ignored him and quickened his pace towards the inn.
He knocked on the door and went in, throwing the man directly to the ground. He closed the door and looked down at him condescendingly: "The Third Young Master has been brought here."
"Well, Taoist Zhang, long time no see."
Jiang Sheng looked at him gently, "Why don't you tell me why you left the palace and why you came to the Northern Wilderness?"
Taoist Zhang stared at his face, squinted his eyes and murmured, "It is indeed you. Your face has changed. I didn't find the wrong person. You are the one."
"Hmm? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, I left the palace to look for someone. As for why I came to the Northern Wasteland, it was because of the hexagram that guided me here."
Jiang Sheng looked at him without saying anything. It would be the same as saying nothing.
"Then are you willing to go to the Northern Wilderness with me?"
Well, of course he has to go. I'm afraid that the old fox, the National Master, will be here soon. Of course, he has to pave the way for himself before that.
It is better to be with the son of destiny than with that tyrant. Da Gan's luck has come to an end. There is no need to continue wasting time in the palace. The real thing is to find a way out for himself as soon as possible.
Taoist Zhang's eyes flickered, and his attitude became more respectful.
Jiang Sheng took in his expression and said calmly, "Yang Er, arrange a room for Taoist Zhang so he can have a good rest. We'll set off with you tomorrow."
"There are people from the imperial court handling it secretly. Don't let them find us. Just lead them somewhere else."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Taoist Zhang wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back because of something he was thinking about. Forget it, it’s not a good deal.
When I return to the Northern Wilds with the Child of Destiny, I'll always need his help. Then, hehe...
After Jiang Sheng and others went out, he took the cup and drank tea slowly.
Yang San asked doubtfully, "Sir, that Taoist Zhang is clearly hiding something. Why don't you continue asking? Perhaps coming to the Northern Wasteland was His Majesty's intention. What does he want to do?"
"That's fine. Take him back to the Northern Wasteland first. We'll find out whatever we want later. It's not appropriate to ask too many questions here."
"Let's take care of those messes at the imperial court and leave tomorrow."
The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Sheng took his men on a carriage, which slowly drove out of the city and headed towards the northern wilderness.
Taoist Zhang would secretly glance at him from time to time, and seeing that he was always reading, he said, "Third Young Master, what book are you reading? Why don't you give me one to help me pass the time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, something flew towards him and he subconsciously raised his hand to catch it: "Hmm? Words, words...a notebook."
Well, aren’t the children of destiny all very ambitious? How could they watch such boring things? It’s really unbelievable.
Jiang Sheng didn't even look at him, but was flipping through the storybook.
Taoist Zhang tried to find a topic, "Third Young Master, why don't you stay in the Northern Wilderness? It's so dangerous out there. What if you run into bandits?"
"...Oh, Master Zhang seems to care about me. Why?"
"Well, there's no reason for this, I just think the Third Young Master has a very good face and is destined to be very rich and powerful."
"Now I understand why Taoist Zhang was beaten. The charlatan just keeps saying whatever he wants. Be quiet. I'm not providing for you even though I'm feeding you."
A few days later, the carriage arrived outside Beihuang City. Jiang Sheng went straight back to the Marquis' Mansion, asked someone to look after Taoist Zhang, and quickly went to the martial arts training ground to look for his elder brother.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard shouting from above and looked over.
After Jiang Ling kicked someone off the stage, he caught a glimpse of a figure that paused, turned his head to look over, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He jumped off the stage and walked over.
She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, praising him: "Not bad, your muscles have become much stronger after going out. Let's go to my yard and have a couple of drinks."
Jiang Sheng touched his nose and whispered, "Brother, I have something to tell you. Come with me first. We can talk about drinking later. There is no rush for now."
"...Well, let's go to the study."
The two of them entered the study one after the other.
After hearing his words, Jiang Ling, who was usually calm, couldn't help but lose his composure and raised his voice a little: "What? Tell me again, what did you refine?"
Jiang Sheng didn't say anything more. He took off the flowing light from his waist and handed it over, then took out the iron sword from the space and raised it up.
"Brother, try it and you will know whether what I said is true or not. I named this sword Liuguang. It is more powerful than Donglin's Wanyue. You will know after you try it."
The moment the two swords touched, a crisp snapping sound was heard, and the iron sword in Jiang Sheng's hand broke, and one end fell directly to the ground with a crisp collision sound.
Jiang Ling looked at the flowing sword in his hand, then looked down at the broken sword, and thought to himself that if he could train a team on the battlefield, it would be conceivable that they would be invincible.
In the face of an absolutely sharp weapon, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, what can you do? What's more, on the battlefield, everyone's martial arts strength is similar, and one side's weapons completely crush the other side.
Thinking of this, she looked at him with shining eyes.
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being San'er. How did you refine this Flowing Light Sword? Tell me in detail."
Jiang Sheng nodded and told the story of the coal. Then he told the old craftsman that he had not concealed the problem of removing impurities. After he finished speaking, he exhaled: "Brother, the Liuguang Sword is not easy to refine. I only have hundreds of them."
"There are thousands of iron swords inferior to the Liuguang Sword. While there's no unrest on the border before the New Year, it's better to train a team in advance and use them to surprise and destroy the enemy in the future."
"Well, San'er, what you said makes sense. I'll listen to you. Tomorrow I'll take you into the mountains. The team will train in the mountains from now on."
Jiang Ling's face was full of smiles. She didn't expect that this kid's outing could bring such a big surprise. He should go out more often in the future.
Jiang Sheng thought of the granary and felt a little distressed: "The space is full. I want to find a time to take out the grain and plant the next batch to see if we can have enough food in the future."
"There's one last small matter. I brought Taoist Zhang back. Brother, please decide how to deal with him. It's unsafe to leave him outside. It's better to keep him under your watch."
Jiang Ling looked at him in surprise: "...Who, who were you talking about just now?"
