After the man in black was dealt with, Jiang Sheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he was dealt with. However, judging from the posture of the man in black, it seemed that Beixia and the temple were also enemies.
The enemy of my enemy...isn't he an ally?
Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng felt more favorable towards Bei Xia. He turned his head and looked at his elder brother. The two exchanged glances, and seeing his elder brother nodded slightly, he understood.
I thought it was over, but unexpectedly the next wave of attacks came again. Poison needles flew out from the sky and were about to reach him. If the master didn't take action, he would definitely die.
Jiang Sheng dodged and stood in front of the tutor, raising his hand. The poisonous needles in the sky stopped in mid-air. He moved his fingers slightly, changed direction, and stabbed back.
There were continuous screams coming from outside the hall. The people inside the hall looked at the figure in horror. The empress narrowed her eyes and stared closely.
He glanced at Fang Ruo, asking something with his eyes.
Fang Ruo lowered her voice and said, "Much better than this servant!"
The empress raised her eyebrows and looked at the figure with interest, her eyes flickering with thoughts. She didn't expect that Da Gan would give her an unexpected surprise. If that was the case, she could consider forming an alliance.
However, relying on only one person to have this ability is not enough, and we need to try it out again.
The surviving black-robed man flew in and looked at him in horror, his eyes filled with fear: "You are Kong..."
Before he could finish his words, his neck was cut open and blood spurted out. A gurgling sound was heard and he was instantly speechless.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jiang Sheng's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He turned around to look at his eldest brother and whispered, "Brother, I'll go out and take a look. The Taifu and the others are in your care."
Jiang Ling nodded, knowing that his brother was going to silence him. What he did on the Temple Island could not be spread out for the time being, so the only way was to silence him.
After everyone left, the empress asked tentatively, "Major General, was that your brother who just left?"
"In reply to your majesty, it is this general's third brother."
"I see."
A moment later, someone walked in. The Grand Tutor stared at him with a puzzled look in his eyes, not understanding how the famous playboy in the capital could become so powerful all of a sudden.
Could it be that he had been pretending all along? That's right. If he hadn't pretended, His Majesty would have been more wary of the Jiang family. This would make sense.
Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, signaling his brother not to worry.
The empress smiled even more. If Fang Ruo were to deal with those people in the temple, no one would be able to escape unscathed. This man looked young, but his methods were very skillful.
He glanced at his little daughter beside him, the affection in her eyes was obvious to him. He looked away and said with a smile, "May I know the name of this young man?"
"Your Majesty, Jiang Sheng."
"Okay, very good. Since you saved my little princess before, I will definitely treat you to a nice drink in the future. Okay, let's continue the palace banquet."
Jiang Sheng sat next to his brother. The Grand Tutor came over and looked at him eagerly, as if he wanted to strip him naked. After a long while, he spoke: "You are really good at hiding yourself, young man. The Jiang family is lucky to have you."
Thinking of the Third Prince being here, he added, "It's a blessing for Dagan. With you here, you can naturally intimidate Donglin, and then Dagan won't be so passive."
"...Taifu, you're too kind. If it were just me, I wouldn't have such a significant impact. Ultimately, it all depends on Dagan's army."
The Grand Tutor patted his shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
With such treacherous abilities, it would be useless even if His Majesty was wary of the Jiang family. If he didn't want the country to perish, he could only coax and flatter Jiang Sheng. In this way, the Jiang family would naturally have nothing to worry about.
The third prince Li Qing looked at him with a complicated expression, feeling a little jealous. Why wasn't he the one with such ability? If it were him, his father would definitely give the throne to him.
The Jiang family, the Jiang family again, why did God bless the Jiang family so much.
Bei Yueli's eyes were full of admiration. That was great. She was even better than Aunt Fangruo. She didn't look like the dandy girl that the rumors said she was.
Jiang Ling noticed their gazes and lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes. Exposing his brother would only benefit the alliance, but he couldn't say more.
If they knew that the Jiang family had a team of Venerables, then they would not form an alliance but be wary of each other.
It's good enough to maintain the current situation, there's no need for them to know more.
When the palace banquet ended, the third prince came over.
He eagerly asked, "Jiang Sheng, when did you acquire this ability?"
If he has had it since childhood, why has the Jiang family kept it a secret? Could it be that he has ulterior motives? How can my father still hold on to his position? This is really a big worry for the Jiang family.
Jiang Sheng understood what he meant and said with a smile, "It's only been a few months. At first I was very scared and thought I was a freak, so I didn't dare let anyone know. Today I really have no choice. Sigh."
"Third Prince, I'm not sure how this ability came about. It just came to me suddenly. Perhaps it's God's blessing, at least giving me, someone who's neither good at literature nor martial arts, some self-protection skills."
The Third Prince: “…”
He forced a smile and said perfunctorily, "Really? That's really lucky. Normally, if other countries had your ability, they would have risen to prominence."
"Most are regarded as national masters. I wonder what you think of the position of national master."
Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Third Prince, you're joking. I'm just a playboy. It would be disastrous for me to become the Imperial Master. I don't know anything."
"Forget it, forget it. I just want to travel around the world, eat, drink and have fun. I don't know how to do those big things. I just came here to Beixia to have a look and have fun."
The Third Prince felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He had the ability but didn't know how to serve the country. Instead, he wanted to travel. He was indeed... a playboy in the capital.
When he returns, he will tell his father that such a capable person must not be released. It would be a waste if he is not used.
He rolled his eyes and patted his shoulder, smiling kindly: "This prince loves poetry and songs, and you like traveling. If you go out to travel in the future, we can go together."
Jiang Sheng curled his lips, said a few perfunctory words and went back.
Late at night, quiet
A slight sound was heard. Jiang Sheng adjusted his breathing and opened his eyes, staring closely at the place where the noise came from. His body disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was standing behind the man in black.
"You looking for me?"
The high priest heard a voice behind him and his body froze instantly.
He subconsciously used his ability and turned his body into a ball of mist, ready to run away. However, he encountered an invisible barrier and was unable to get out no matter how hard he struggled. He was horrified.
Jiang Sheng stared at the struggling creature inside and asked coldly, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Let me guess, you're the Empress's man, and you want to test my abilities. How about we go there and I'll tell you myself?"
