Chapter 2295 If We Can't Meet Again
Chong Xuansheng understands Jiang Wang.

If I tell him a serious reason, no matter how perfect it is, it may arouse his vigilance - this guy is actually very smart, and his spiritual perception is especially terrifying.

On the contrary, if you just give him a casual assignment like this, or even scold him a few times, he will pass it without any hesitation.

After all, how could Jiang Qingyang doubt Chong Xuan Pang?

But today Jiang Wang still struggled: "Chen Zhitao definitely doesn't want to come to Qi State, after all..."

"I understand! How can I be less sensible than you?" Chong Xuansheng glared at him and said rudely, "I have a comprehensive plan and arranged for you two to meet in Changguo. It's a good opportunity for you to see if there are any unique relics of Jiuyang in Changguo. Cherish your time and take care of his feelings. It's a win-win situation."

Jiang Wang said "Oh" and continued reading.

Chong Xuansheng closed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting. The situation in the entire coastal area was constantly changing in his mind.

"Eh——" Jiang Wang suddenly said.

Chong Xuansheng was startled and opened his eyes impatiently: "What happened again?"

"Why haven't I seen Fourteen?" Jiang Wang asked.

Chong Xuansheng gave him a sidelong look: "You still have some humanity in remembering your old friend. Fourteen was so good to you!"

"That's not very humane, otherwise I should beat you up now - oh no, I should say, test your cultivation." Jiang Wang said as he flipped through the book: "Sheng Ge'er, am I not caring enough about you now?"

"You came at an unfortunate time. Today is the day when the Empress enters the harem." Zhong Xuansheng chuckled and said casually, "All the noble ladies in Linzi City have come to the palace to listen to her lectures. She talks about women's virtues, etiquette, and ways to control husbands."

The Queen talks about "controlling her husband", which is itself very humorous.

Who can control the Great Qi Emperor...

Why did Fourteen need to learn all this? She cared about nothing except Chong Xuansheng. Chong Xuansheng also wanted to give her his life.

"Today is the day when Empress He enters the harem..." Jiang Wang was reading a book when he suddenly changed his mind and temporarily emerged from the world of sealing techniques. He said to Zhong Xuansheng, "Separate the convoy and take me to Huaying Palace first."

The day when the current Empress He was officially crowned as the Empress was also the anniversary of the death of Jiang Wuyou's biological mother, Empress Yin...

After staying in the cold palace for more than half a year, she "died of anger and depression". It is hard to say whether Empress He's being crowned as the queen was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Chong Xuansheng was very happy to see that he still retained some human touch. He raised his finger and tapped the armrest of the seat, and the carriage turned.

When they arrived outside Huaying Palace, Jiang Wuyou was not there.

The old woman who had always been by Jiang Wuyou's side also got into the carriage and looked at Jiang Wang and said, "Your Highness has gone to the Qingshi Palace. She would stay there for a while on this day every year - does Master Jiang want to go into the palace and wait?"

"No." Jiang Wang said calmly: "If it is convenient, can you take me to burn some incense?"

Chong Xuansheng was sitting quietly beside him, also reading a book on sealing techniques. He was in the officialdom of Qi State, and now he was a leader in his own right, so it was not convenient for him to enter Huaying Palace.

The old woman bowed and said, "You are so thoughtful... Of course you can."

The shrine of Queen Yin is very simple. In a very small and secret room, there is a spirit tablet without even a name.

Jiang Wang simply burned some incense and was about to leave.

At the door, the old woman bowed her head and said, "Thank you."

"Thank me?"

"My last name is Yin."

The once powerful Yin family has been wiped out in the history of Qi.

She has always been with Jiang Wuyou and may be the only remaining member of the Yin family.

Jiang Wang gave her one last look and said, "Take care of yourself."

Turn around and leave.

……

"Let's go to Xiashan Villa." Zhong Xuansheng had many things on his mind, but he spoke clearly: "It has been cleaned up for you. The Ninth Prince hasn't lived there for a long time, and now is not the time to enjoy the scenery. There is only a very happy Anle Earl nearby, who can't disturb you in any way..."

Anlebo?
Jiang Wang only had a faint thought in his mind... This name seemed to be very old.

Many things in the past, when I think back now, seem to be separated by a window. It is close, but it is still inside and outside the window, like looking at the scenery somewhere else.

He sat in the car and moved with it.

The car is on the road and the road is under the sky.

A free mind resides in an unfree body.

"Well..." Jiang Wang stared at the contents on the page and said nonchalantly, "After I arrive, seal the gate. Don't tell anyone that I'm back in Linzi, and don't let anyone disturb me."

Whenever he returned to Qi, the most important thing was to socialize with old friends. It was natural to visit every family he was close to. But as Chong Xuansheng said, the premise of "interpersonal communication" was to retain the "human" part.

At this critical moment of swimming across the deep ocean of the Heavenly Dao, everything will be excused and no one will see it again.

"Study hard." Zhong Xuansheng said, "Leave everything outside to me."

In the hot summer, there is no maple leaf sunset, only the chirping of cicadas filling the entire mountain.

Ten carts of secret records filled the other courtyard.

Jiang looked at the three statues and started reading books.

……

……

In the hierarchy of Diaohailou, "pacifying the sea" is the highest, and "protecting the sect" and "practicing" are below it. This is also the highest vision of Diaohailou since its founding.

Chen Zhitao is named "Zhitao", which shows the expectations he carries. Now it seems that he has lived up to these expectations.

At the critical moment when Diaohai Tower was in turmoil and almost extinct, he accepted the task and took on the important responsibility of being the leader of the tower. Although it cannot be said that he "turned the tide", he did withstand the pressure from all sides and allowed the sect to smoothly get through the difficult period.

And in the "post-sinking capital era", Diaohai Tower maintained its autonomy.

When Wei Xun was still alive, it would be a joke to say that the goal of Diaohailou was to ensure independence. At that time, the ambitious Zhenjun Shendu, who had allied with various parties and united all the islands, established the Zhenhai League and was about to unify the sea and pursue maritime hegemony.

But after Wei Xun left, given the situation faced by Diaohailou, "ensuring independence and autonomy" had actually become a rather difficult political goal.

After the war of the mystery world, Qi's unification of the sea borders was almost certain. The Zhenhai League founded by Wei Xun had become Qi's one-man show, and many offshore affairs were decided by Jueming Island.

All the sects, big and small, in the offshore islands began to embroider purple flags overnight. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the sea people became common people.

Due to unique historical reasons and the existence of the Lord Yuejie, Yanggu's status is relatively transcendent.

Diaohailou was able to maintain its orthodoxy only with the support of Jing State.

Or to put it more directly, it was Penglai Island's projection of power in the near sea, the Eastern Heavenly Master Song Huai's personal visit to the sea border, and Yang Gu's statement that led to the reconstruction of Diaohai Tower.

How can Diaohailou maintain its identity in the face of the will of Jing State? How can it uphold its orthodoxy in the face of the authority of Qi State? How can it cope with the offshore situation that has become so clear with its relatively weak body and weak body now?
This will test the new OP's determination and wisdom.

Chen Zhitao has done a good job, but many people ask him to do better.

"These are what I should do."

On the Little Crescent Island, in the Diaohailou sect's headquarters, Chen Zhitao, wearing a sea-blue Taoist robe of the sect leader, knelt in front of the statue of the founder and spoke slowly.

Crescent Island, also known as "Huai Island", has now become a "neutral" territory that meets the definition of Qi State and is open to all sea dwellers. It no longer belongs to any force in name, but is only under the jurisdiction of Zhenhai League, and is also the location of Zhenhai League's headquarters.

A statue of the dragon fisherman is erected on this island, standing on the Tianya Terrace, for people to remember him.

The lineage of the Dragon Fishing Master was moved to Little Crescent Island, which was originally a branch of the original Diaohai Tower. Song Huai, Yue Jie and others fought for the reconstruction of the original site of Huai Island for Diaohai Tower. It was Chen Zhitao who overcame all objections and moved the clan here.

It was obvious that he did not want Diaohailou to become Jingguo's spear on the near-shore front line.

From "unwilling" to actually going, it was a long and difficult journey. Fortunately, I have gone through it.

Now Qin Zhen stood at the door of the Patriarch's Hall, looking at the back of the young sect leader in front of him, and said calmly: "If we only talk about 'should', you have done enough."

She and Chongguang are still Jinghai elders, and there has been no change in their duties and powers, but they are already the de facto supreme elders of Diaohai Tower.

After all, Chen Zhitao was a junior who had grown up in their eyes, and there was still a huge gap in their cultivation level. He could never establish his authority as a sect leader in front of them.

She and Chongguang appear less and less now, which is both a sign of weakness to Qi State and a way to hand the stage over to Chen Zhitao to avoid him stealing the show.

"For Chen Zhitao, it may be enough, but for the owner of Diaohai Tower, I am still far from it." Chen Zhitao did not look back, but said in a heavy voice: "There are ancestors in the distant past and predecessors in the recent past. Zhitao's talent and virtue are both shallow, and it would be embarrassing if anything happened... I feel ashamed and cannot rest in peace."

Chen Zhitao is also a man with high aspirations, otherwise he would not compare himself with Wei Xun and Diaolong Ke.

But people's talents are indeed different. Some are rare, some are rare, and some can only be described as mediocre. Chen Zhitao is certainly not mediocre, he is a genius in all aspects. But if you want to catch up with Wei Xun, or even Diao Long Ke, it really can't be described as "hard work" alone.

Qin Zhen sighed softly in her heart, but her face remained calm. She only said, "Aren't you going to Changguo? Go now. Don't meet Fu Dongxu anymore."

At this time, a voice sounded leisurely outside the door - "Fu Dongxu... why don't you want to see me?"

Qin Zhen instinctively put her fingers together like scissors, but then she forcibly retracted the sharpness. She had an indescribable trance - Diaohailou was no longer qualified to "not see guests".

The man who appeared outside the door at this moment was a man with eyes as clear as a mirror. His eyes were full of scrutiny and he saw other people's concerns. He was wearing a very loose Taoist robe that fluttered gently in the sea breeze. He stood in front of the ancestral hall of the Diaohai Tower, an important place for the sect, and his eyes were roaming around, his posture was very relaxed.

He was naturally the head of Jingshitai, Fu Dongxu, who had now been reinstated. He certainly did not feel any danger in Diaohailou. This arrogance was justified.

Chen Zhitao stood up in front of the statue of the ancestor, turned around, looked directly at the uninvited guest outside the door, took a step forward, and faced him.

He bowed gently, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, "Master Fu! I am Chen Zhitao, the owner of Diaohai Tower, and I would like to greet you. Please give my regards to the emperor of your country."

"No problem." Fu Dongxu's face was bright and he smiled very relaxedly: "Master Chen is a man who knows how to behave! Many people don't know how to write the four words 'repaying kindness' nowadays."

According to Qin Zhen's past temper, if Fu Dongxu stabbed her in front of her like this, she would not be able to vent her anger unless she cut Fu Dongxu a few times. But today, she just stood there silently, like a thin piece of paper floating in the wind.

"I often ask myself - are you trying to solve problems or create them? So I won't be rude. Arrogance, sarcasm, and emotional venting will not help the matter itself." In this situation, Chen Zhitao took a step forward and looked directly at Fu Dongxu: "I wonder what Master Fu thinks?"

Fu Dongxu smiled: "Master Chen really has a first-class character, what he said really makes sense! Indeed, we should solve problems, not create them."

He also bowed to Qin Zhen to express his apology, and then said: "To be honest, I came to Little Crescent Island this time just to solve the problem."

He looked into Chen Zhitao's eyes and emphasized: "Represent the Central Dajing Empire and solve the problems here."

Qin Zhen remained silent throughout the whole process, defending Chen Zhitao's authority as the owner of the building.

Chen Zhitao just looked at Fu Dongxu and said slowly: "The best attitude is to solve the problem. But I don't know what is a 'problem' in Jingguo's eyes?"

I am not afraid that Jingguo wants to solve the problem, but I am afraid that Jingguo regards Diaohailou as a problem.

Fu Dongxu smiled and said, "Master Chen is a wise man, why not try to guess?"

At this moment, the glow on his face disappeared and gathered into a ball of light in front of him. From the ball of light, a brilliant figure walked out.

Chong Guang, the first elder of Diaohai Tower, stood between Chen Zhitao and Fu Dongxu.

There was light on his face, and he was even always in the light. The light of the mirror that Fu Dongxu carried with him was repeatedly driven away by him.

There was no emotion in his eyes, and he took the initiative to speak: "Let me guess - Diaohai Tower? Zhenhai League? Cassiae Island? Qi State?"

Although Diaohai Tower is in decline, its owner should not be looked down upon.

Chen Zhitao couldn't play mysterious guessing games with others, so Chongguang would rather do it himself.

Fu Dongxu put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "In the eyes of Master Chongguang, is this the limit of the world's first empire?"

"Maybe more than that, but I don't know." Chongguang said cautiously: "Is there anything else in this offshore archipelago that is worth you, Fu Dongxu, coming here in person?"

"Me? Haha! In this great event, I am just a vanguard!" Fu Dongxu laughed twice, then his face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "We, Dajing, are based in the Central Region and stand majestically in the world. Looking eastward, there has only ever been one thing that can be called a 'problem' -"

"Mr. Fu, did you mean 'cang hai'?" Chongguang asked with a raised eyebrow.

Fu Dongxu waved his sleeves and said, "Yes!"

Rumble!
Thunder roared overseas.

……

……

First there were a few thunders, followed by heavy rain.

The raindrops formed a curtain in front of the eaves.

Even if you look out through the rain curtain, you cannot chase the free swifts, which are still trapped in the palace.

Under the palace eaves covered with spider webs and dust, Jiang Wuyou stood against the wall, like a slender and plump statue of a goddess. She was the only bright scenery in this dark palace.

She didn't say anything, just watched the rain.

Just like that day many years ago, I quietly waited for the news of my biological mother's death.

At that time, my adoptive mother, Concubine Ning, said that a very important person had left.

At that time she drew out her dagger and danced with it, like a swallow flying through the rain, seemingly unaware that it was her own mother who had died.

Of course she was very sad at that time, but she actually didn't understand the meaning of death.

She just knew that there was someone she would never see again.
