After Black Moonlight failed to escape [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 252 The First Growth (1) (1)
The grandfather of the original owner used to be the grand tutor, and he finally begged to return to his hometown a few years ago.
And in a few days, it will be the old man's [-]th birthday.For this reason, although Jiang Shangshu was busy with official duties and couldn't go back, Jiang Chiqiu was picked up by his mother from Zhufeng Temple and returned to his hometown in a carriage.
Going back with Jiang Chiqiu was his sister Jiang Hexia.
The original owner's hometown is called "Zhouqing City", which is the second largest city in this dynasty.Zhouqing City is surrounded by plains with a vast area of cultivated land, and it is the most important grain-producing area in this dynasty, so the city is also famous for its "richness" all over the world.
Jiang Chiqiu had been staying in Zhufeng Temple for several months, and after being picked up by his mother and put into the carriage, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu's uncontrollably happy look when he got into the carriage, Jiang Chiqiu's sister couldn't help but "tsk", then approached and asked: "Chi Qiu, why are you so happy? Isn't it fun to stay in Zhufengguan?" ?”
Jiang Chiqiu leaned towards the cushion behind, and said by the way: "It's okay, but it's too hard to be watched by people every day."
——Jiang Chiqiu didn't mean to be joking at all.
But who told him that he is just a child who is only over six years old now, after Jiang Chiqiu said this sentence with a serious face, Jiang Hexia and Madam Jiang who were sitting beside him all laughed.
"Being watched?" Wen Yan Jiang Hexia asked very puzzled, "Has the national teacher asked someone to watch you? What do you think of you?"
After all, Jiang Hexia is young, and she often goes to the palace to report.
Therefore, during this period of time, she only went to Zhufeng Temple a few times with her mother, and each time she stayed for a while before leaving.Obviously she was very curious about Jiang Chiqiu's life in Zhufeng Temple.
Also when he said this, Jiang Hexia's eyes also became a little sympathetic.
Jiang Chiqiu nodded and said: "Yes, the national teacher asked Ming Zhouzhi to watch me, he would stare at me every day and drink medicine..."
"Jiang Chiqiu!" Jiang Chiqiu was interrupted by Jiang Hexia before he finished speaking.
The sympathy in Jiang Hexia's eyes disappeared completely at some point, and the girl viciously recited Jiang Chiqiu's name, and finally commented: "You don't know how to be blessed when you are blessed!"
He almost forgot that Jiang Hexia seemed to be a face controler.
Mrs. Jiang on the side kept watching the interaction between her son and daughter. Although the two people made a bit of noise in the carriage, the lively atmosphere hadn't passed for a long time.
This was Jiang Chiqiu's first time traveling in a horse-drawn carriage, and it was a novelty for him at the beginning.But on the second day, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't take it anymore.
Although the interior of the carriage was nailed with a circle of cushions, after a day passed, these cushions were useless.
Especially now that Jiang Chiqiu and his party are getting farther and farther away from the capital, and the condition of the official road on which the carriage travels is gradually getting worse.
Yesterday Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia were still bickering, but today they have all faded away.
Mrs. Jiang knew that such a situation would happen a long time ago, so she took Jiang Chiqiu away from the Phoenix Temple early and set off early.
Seeing the state of Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia, Mrs. Jiang told the carriage to slow down a bit.
In order to divert his attention, Jiang Chiqiu also lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
Just looking at it, the scene outside the window was completely different from Jiang Chiqiu's imagination.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that the carriage he was riding in was passing through a small town. The two sides of the road were not the small merchants and hawkers he imagined, but all the skinny and hungry people...
Although Jiang Chiqiu was already an adult in his shell, he had seen the tragedy of a demon cultivator massacring a city in his last life.But seeing the scene outside the carriage unprepared still surprised him.
"Ah!" Jiang Chiqiu exclaimed softly.
Mrs. Jiang, who was reclining in the carriage reading just now, glanced at Jiang Chiqiu quickly after hearing Jiang Chiqiu's voice, and then drew the curtain of the carriage.
Jiang Chiqiu glanced at the brocade soft bag inside the carriage, and then recalled the scenery he saw just now, he didn't know what to say for a while.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Chiqiu still tried to ask: "Mother was outside just now..."
"Hey..." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "During this winter, it snowed heavily in Baofan City, do you remember?"
Jiang Chiqiu nodded, of course he remembered this.When the first snow fell, my brother took himself to the snowy field outside the city, and Ming Wu Zhi Tian gave him a cloak.
A while ago, Jiang Chiqiu was still regretting that the snow had hardly stopped this winter, and the royal family held the horse race as scheduled during the days when the snow was the heaviest.And I was sick at that time, so I had to be absent.
Mrs. Jiang continued: "The snow has been heavy in the past three to five years. You may not feel anything in the capital. But when you leave the capital, you will know that large tracts of crops have been frozen to death by the weather."
Hearing this, Jiang Hexia, who often hangs out with people while sitting on the side, couldn't help adding: "So that's how it is! No wonder when I went out a few days ago, someone said "a disaster from heaven"..."
Jiang Hexia was still young, so she didn't know how dangerous the words she just said were.
But Mrs. Jiang knew, so Jiang Hexia was interrupted by the woman sharply before she finished speaking.
Since childhood, Jiang Hexia has almost never been so cruel to her mother, so when she saw this scene, her eye sockets turned red all of a sudden...
——In fact, all of this is not a "disaster from heaven", but a pure coincidence.
Jiang Chiqiu's current era happened to have reached a small ice age, with frequent droughts and floods in summer and extremely cold weather in winter.At the same time, the crops planted in the ground are still the ones that were not cold-resistant before. The combination of these factors has led to successive famines in recent years.
It's just that people in this era don't think of this reason. Although no one mentioned it in the court, some folks have long linked this matter with the current emperor's licentiousness.
After Jiang Hexia was reprimanded by his mother, the carriage suddenly became quiet.
Although Jiang Hexia is young and sometimes speaks casually, she is a very kind girl.
After the grievance of being reprimanded by her mother passed, Jiang Hexia gently tugged Madam Jiang's sleeve again, and asked her: "Then mother, can we give them food from our family? "
In an instant, the woman's expression became more complicated. She rubbed Jiang Hexia's hair, sighed and said, "It's good if you have this heart..."
In short, because of this matter, the atmosphere on the carriage gradually became silent.
And as they got closer to Zhouqing City, there were more hungry people outside.Later, it was even difficult for the carriage to move.
At this time, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help asking the system: [System, are you sure this world is a leisure world? 】
Recently, Jiang Chiqiu is still the same as before, every once in a while he will "disturb" the system a little because of anxiety.
But this time the system's answer turned out to be different from before.
After Jiang Chiqiu's voice fell, the system paused and said: 【The host please wait patiently. 】
Wait patiently?What are you waiting for?
Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly asked after hearing this different answer, but this time the system stopped talking like the previous few times.
In the silence halfway, Jiang Chiqiu finally returned to his hometown in Zhouqing City.
This is the birthplace of the Jiang family, although most of the Jiang family members are officials in Baofan City.But in old age, they will still choose to return home.
The grandfather of the original owner was such a person.
According to the memory of the original owner, his grandfather returned to Zhouqing City when the original owner was two years old.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu didn't have many memories of his grandfather in his mind, and he didn't know what kind of person the other party was after thinking about it for a long time.
The area of Zhouqing City is only a little smaller than that of Baofan City in the capital, but the Jiang family, the largest family in Zhouqing City, has a house as grand as the palace of the capital.
After getting off the carriage, seeing the tall courtyard gate, Jiang Chiqiu thought he had made a big circle and returned to the capital.
After all, he came back from the capital to celebrate the old man's birthday. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Chiqiu was led to complete a bunch of complicated etiquettes, and then walked around the garden of the mansion for a long time before finally going to the original owner's grandparents. Meet them.
Many Jiang family members of Jiang Shangshu's generation are officials in the court, but he is currently the one with the largest official position.
Therefore, in addition to the original owner's grandparents, there are many relatives who Jiang Chiqiu can't name in the main house.
The ancient aristocratic family is really troublesome - Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help thinking when he followed his mother to identify people one by one.
And according to the practice of this court, after greeting all the people in this circle, Jiang Chiqiu finally stepped forward to give a big gift to his grandparents.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that although the man and woman in front of him were full of hair, they were in good spirits.The fabrics on their bodies can be seen at a glance that they are not extraordinary.
Although he didn't have many memories about these two people, according to what his mother told him when he came here, Jiang Chiqiu already had a little understanding of their personalities.
They should be unsmiling, even for Jiang Shangshu, the best child of his generation, their attitudes are all lukewarm.
However...something that Jiang Chiqiu did not expect happened.
After paying homage to the two old people, he was suddenly picked up by his grandfather and placed on a soft bed beside him.
One must know that although Jiang Chiqiu is only six years old, he is not young at all.
After Jiang Chiqiu was hugged by the other party, he really broke out in a cold sweat.
"Chi Qiu... I heard that you have been staying in Zhufeng Guan a while ago. I wonder how you get along with the national teacher and Zhou Zhi?" Jiang Chiqiu's grandfather asked while hugging him.
The tone was very kind, not at all like the indifferent old man described by his mother.
Jiang Chiqiu: ...
Jiang Chiqiu felt that apart from the fact that he was the youngest in poor health, the fact that his grandfather treated him so well had something to do with the fact that he had stayed with the national teacher for a while before.
"Well, I've been staying in Zhufeng Guan all the time. The national teacher... is a very nice person. Although he is usually busy, he will spare time to teach us homework. He is a very easy-going person." Jiang Chiqiu tried his best to pretend Speak in the tone of a child.
After hearing Jiang Chiqiu's description, everyone in the room showed envy in an instant.
Well, seeing the eyes of the people in the room, Jiang Chiqiu understood: it might not be him who they gathered here to wait for, but the story of life in Zhufengguan brought by him.
But this made Jiang Chiqiu feel a little relieved. Although everyone is a family in terms of blood relationship, most of the people here have never been seen before.
Jiang Chiqiu seemed more willing to share the stories in Zhufeng Temple with them than being surrounded by everyone to care about.
But thinking about it carefully, when Jiang Chiqiu was in Zhufeng Temple, he spent most of his time with Ming Zhouzhi.So when his family members chased him to ask questions about Zhufeng Temple, the name "Ming Zhou Zhi" kept appearing in Jiang Chiqiu's mouth.
At the same time, Ming Zhouzhi, who was pruning flower branches in Zhufeng Temple, suddenly sneezed.
A few days before Jiang Chiqiu's grandfather's birthday, he first lived here in Zhouqing City with his mother and Jiang Hexia.
At that time, when Jiang Chiqiu was leaving Zhufeng Temple, Ming Zhouzhi once told him to write a letter to himself when he arrived.
At that time, Jiang Chiqiu thought that the other party was joking, or just being polite. After all, he was only going to Zhouqing City for a while, and he didn't really move.
Therefore, after arriving in Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu threw away the matter of writing the letter that Ming Zhouzhi had said before.
However, Jiang Chiqiu did not expect that on the second day after he came to Zhouqing City, he would receive a letter from Ming Zhouzhi.
In the minds of the people of this dynasty, the view of Zhufeng should be mysterious and lofty.So even after listening to Jiang Chiqiu talk about Zhufeng Guan that day, the image of the national teacher's disciple Ming Zhouzhi that Jiang's family made up was still abnormal.
Now, after opening the letter sent by Ming Zhou Zhi, and seeing the trivial things Ming Zhou Zhi wrote about Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but think of the awe-inspiring eyes of his family when they heard the words "Ming Zhou Zhi" .
——Perhaps it was at this moment that Jiang Chiqiu finally regarded Ming Zhouzhi as his friend, more precisely, as his best friend in this world.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chiqiu really added a lot of workload to Ming Zhouzhi during the time he was in Zhufeng Temple.
But the young man didn't get bored with Jiang Chiqiu because of this. On the contrary, after Jiang Chiqiu left here, Ming Zhouzhi, who didn't have to wake him up every day and help him make medicine, felt that something was missing in his life.
Although Ming Zhouzhi officially became a disciple of the national teacher not long ago, he was sent to Zhufeng Temple after he was born.
People in this world are always in awe of Zhufeng Guan, even children.
It might be a bit vulgar to say it, but the fact is: Jiang Chiqiu met him tomorrow, and he was the first person to treat him as an ordinary person.At the same time, Jiang Chiqiu is also one of the rare, or unique, people in this world who has never treated Zhufeng Guan in a special way.
This kind of Jiang Chiqiu made Ming Zhouzhi feel a rare relaxation.
So not long after Jiang Chiqiu left Zhufeng Guan, Ming Wuzhi wrote a letter to Jiang Chiqiu.After receiving the letter, Jiang Chiqiu also wrote back a letter to Ming Zhouzhi neatly, and imitating the tone of the child, introducing him to the characteristics of Zhouqing City——according to Mrs. Jiang, Ming Zhouzhi Since Day Zhi was born, he should have never left Baofan City.
Here, Ming Zhouzhi regards Jiang Chiqiu as a child, while on the other hand, Jiang Chiqiu, who considers himself an adult, also regards Ming Zhouzhi as a child.
So after he left Baofan City and returned to his hometown in Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu thought of the "poor" Ming Zhouzhi who had never been out of Baofan City, so he carefully told him the stories outside the capital .
At the same time...Jiang Chiqiu couldn't hold back, and vaguely mentioned the matter of the hungry people outside the city.
Until now, Jiang Chiqiu didn't think he would stay in this world for too long, so he didn't know how he should change the world.
But Jiang Chiqiu knew that if there was someone in his generation who could change the status quo, that person would not be a certain prince, but definitely Ming Zhouzhi in Zhufengguan.
The days in Zhouqing City passed quickly, and during the time he stayed in the Jiang family's ancestral house, various people who Jiang Chiqiu could be named and those who could not, kept coming to ask him about Zhufengguan.Jiang Chiqiu answered patiently at the beginning, but then he simply pretended not to understand.
Grandpa Jiang's birthday was very large, but Jiang Chiqiu, who was still a child, just ate a few meals and gave the old man a gift.Jiang Chiqiu was not interested in the birthday banquet, and just as Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet was over, another major event happened in Zhouqing City.
——The sage who sits in Baofan City has sent someone to Zhouqing City to select beautiful women.
If Jiang Chiqiu's memory is not wrong, there are already countless concubines in the imperial palace, and the current Majesty has no shortage of heirs.
Jiang Chiqiu knew this truth, and everyone else knew it too.Even so, the event of selecting the best girls was carried out vigorously in Zhouqing City.
The bustling scene in Zhouqing city is really full of contrast with the scene of hungry people everywhere outside the city.
The carriage of Shang Shufu passed through Zhouqing City again and headed towards the gate of the city. Mrs. Jiang took a look at the bustling and prosperous scene in the city, and then at the deserted fields outside the city.After a short pause, the woman said to Jiang Chiqiu: "Chiqiu, after returning to Baofan City this time, you can continue to study in the palace."
Compared with the life in the imperial palace and Zhufeng Temple, Jiang Chiqiu definitely prefers the latter.
But when he heard the woman's words, Jiang Chiqiu didn't bargain, he just nodded quietly.
Jiang Chiqiu gently opened the curtain of the carriage by a small gap. While looking at the scene outside the window, he secretly thought in his heart - before he returned to Baofan City, he must write a letter in advance to inform Ming Zhou this matter.
And at this moment, the voice of the system suddenly came from Jiang Chiqiu's ear.
[The mission plot is ready to be loaded, please prepare the host. 】
Jiang Chiqiu: [What? 】
The carriage itself was extremely quiet, but Jiang Chiqiu was startled by the sudden sound of the system.However, compared to the contents of the system prompt, it is obvious that this sudden sound is nothing.
"The mission plot is ready to load" Is this what I think it means?
After hearing these words, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly remembered something.
Before coming to this world, the system seemed to be saying: "Please prepare and rest for the host, and will go to the second world soon."
So could it be that there was a problem with my understanding at the beginning, this world is not a leisure world, but the real world where the second mission is located.
Fuck it, don't you?
The more Jiang Chiqiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was really the case.
While the system was still there, he hurriedly said: [Wait for the system!You mean I have to complete tasks in this world? 】
[Yes host, please wait for the mission story to load. 】
【How long will it take? 】Jiang Chiqiu asked.
The system stopped for a moment of calculation, and then replied: 【Please wait patiently, the mission will officially start after.... 】
【When did you just say that, I didn't hear clearly. 】Jiang Chiqiu really didn't expect that the system would lose its chain at this time one day.The system was clearly able to speak clearly, but when it came time to estimate the time, it suddenly left this space for itself.
Jiang Chiqiu has reason to suspect that the system doesn't even know when the plot will start.
After Jiang Chiqiu said that he didn't hear clearly, the system repeated what he said just now, and disappeared after he finished speaking.
And Jiang Chiqiu, who calmed down again, also began to think.
I am only six years old now, and I can't do anything at this age.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu guessed that the official start time of the mission is definitely based on "years".
Thinking of this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but after realizing that this was the second official mission world, he also felt that he could no longer be as ignorant as before.
If you want to complete the task well, you still have to study.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting next to Jiang Chiqiu, suddenly heard her youngest son sigh.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was only six years old and still chubby, made such a voice, if it was placed at other times, it would definitely make people feel cute and funny.
But when she appeared now, Madam Jiang suddenly felt a little heavy.
The woman stretched out her hand to rub Jiang Chiqiu's face.She thought - after giving birth to Jiang Chiqiu, she and Jiang Shangshu decided not to put too much pressure on Jiang Chiqiu, and he just wanted to grow up healthy and healthy.
But at this time, the situation is getting worse and worse.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was born in the Jiang family, couldn't be what they thought, a little prince who didn't know the safety of the world.
After returning to Baofan City, the first thing Jiang Chiqiu did was to write a letter to Ming Zhouzhi, telling him that he would continue to study.
And after receiving Jiang Chiqiu's letter, Ming Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Even though he and Jiang Chiqiu were eight years apart in age, he had already regarded Jiang Chiqiu as his only friend during their relationship a while ago.
Although Mingwu knows that Jiang Chiqiu, as the young son of the Jiang family, cannot stay in Zhufeng Guan for too long, but knowing that Jiang Chiqiu will return to the past life track now, Mingwu knows that it is inevitable Still a little lost.
In the following days, natural disasters and famines continued, but the prosperity of Baofan City was even better than before.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was born as a young son of Jiang's family, has returned to the life track of two points and one line between the palace and the family in the past, but whenever he has time, he will go to Zhufeng Temple to find Ming Zhouzhi.
Day by day, Jiang Chiqiu's stature has grown a lot. He is still as white as before, but more than half of his baby fat has disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, six years have passed.
On the carriage to the palace one day, Jiang Hexia, who was sitting next to Jiang Chiqiu, suddenly held his chin and said, "Chiqiu, I think you are much prettier than before. If someone now wants to judge you as the number one beauty in the court If so, I will definitely vote for you."
Jiang Chiqiu, who was squinting and dozing in the carriage, suddenly woke up because of Jiang Hexia's words.
He didn't complain about the title of "No. [-] Beauty", but remembered the incident when Jiang Hexia took him to Zhufeng Temple to see Ming Zhouzhi when he first came to this world many years ago...
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu silently staring at him without saying a word, Jiang Hexia immediately guessed that the other party must have remembered what happened back then.
"Stop, stop! Don't mention that matter again!" Jiang Hexia quickly waved his hands preemptively, "Tsk tsk, who would have thought at that time that you would actually get mixed up with Ming Zhouzhi."
It's not surprising to see too many beauties.
In these years, Jiang Hexia has followed Jiang Chiqiu to Zhufeng Temple many times. At the beginning, she would be excited by it, but she has seen it a lot—especially when she sees Ming Zhouzhi and her younger brother who are naive. After the interaction, Jiang Hexia's filter was completely shattered.
Therefore, the current Jiang Hexia has long regarded that incident as a dark history of his childhood.
Seeing Jiang Hexia's panicked look, Jiang Chiqiu stretched his waist and said half-jokingly: "Then I'll vote for you. You seem to be very interested in this matter."
Speaking of which, the Jiang family in this world are very good-looking, especially Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia. Although they are two years apart, they have six or seven points alike in appearance.According to Jiang Chiqiu's knowledge, many princes in the palace have a crush on his sister Jiang Hexia, but girls don't think much of them.
——Five years later, the emperor of this dynasty is still the same as before, and those princes are also starting to look up and down.
Just as he was talking about the carriage having stopped at the gate of the palace, Jiang Chiqiu lifted the curtain of the carriage and prepared to go down.
But just after the curtain was lifted, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but froze here before he could take a step.
"Chi Qiu, what are you doing..." Immediately after, Jiang Hexia was about to get out of the carriage, and she asked subconsciously when she saw Jiang Chiqiu's motionless appearance.
However, before Jiang Hexia finished speaking, she also stayed here because of the scene outside the car.
The city gate that Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia frequented was called "Quanchun Gate", and it was just a side gate of the palace.Normally, there wouldn't be many people here.
But today not only a bunch of people appeared here, but also a bunch of soldiers in armor.
When Jiang Chiqiu saw them, one of the generals leading the team also saw Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia.
Seeing this, the man holding the hand came forward to salute Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia, and then said: "Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, today's schoolwork is suspended, you should go back home first."
While the man was speaking, a group of soldiers behind him also looked towards him.
Seeing this, Jiang Chiqiu slowly retreated into the carriage with Jiang Hexia, nodded to each other and said, "Okay, thank you General for reminding us, we'll go back right away."
After finishing speaking, the man stepped forward and said a few words to the driver of the carriage, and the carriage immediately turned around and headed towards Jiang's mansion.
Far away from Quan Chun's Gate, Jiang Chi Qiu and Jiang He Xia sat face to face, unable to speak a single word.
When the noise from the street came to his ears, Jiang Hexia finally said to Jiang Chiqiu full of fear: "Was Chiqiu just now sending troops to Quan Chunmen? Then... brother, he won't have a problem, right? "
Jiang Hexia was already trying her best to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled slightly.
In the past five years, Baofan City looked the same as usual.But from the conversations between his parents and his elder brother who came home occasionally, Jiang Chiqiu already knew that the current situation was no longer stable.
But no matter how undercurrents were surging before, there has never been a situation where troops were dispatched at Quanchunmen.
Although Jiang Chiqiu himself was a little nervous, he still comforted Jiang Hexia and said: "It's okay, brother may not be able to go to the battlefield this time. Besides...it's okay even if he does, he has practiced for so many years, the reason is just like this One day? Think about it, is there any general in this world who hasn't been on the battlefield?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Hexia tried to calmly nod, "You're right, brother must be fine."
After chatting these two sentences, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia returned home in silence.
When they went back, the atmosphere in the Jiang family became extremely serious. Obviously, their parents already knew about it.
And the father, who is an official in the court, of course knows more than them.
"Peishan, you don't have to worry. The scale of the Xuejun rebellion this time is not large. Xianwen and the others will definitely be able to handle it."
——The full name of the original owner's mother is Xi Peishan, which Jiang Chiqiu only found out a few years ago.
Hearing this, the woman shook her head slowly and said with a sigh, "I naturally trust Xianwen, but...he is going to fight, how could I not be worried."
Hearing this, Jiang Hexia who was standing at the door couldn't help being taken aback: "Mother, do you think brother is really going to fight?"
"That's right..." Xi Peishan was still the same as a few years ago, gently touching the head of her daughter who had grown a lot.
Jiang Hexia was at the time of adolescence and rebellion. She didn't like her mother communicating with herself like a child.But now that Jiang Hexia was so obedient, she couldn't help muttering: "Does brother have to go?"
It has been more than five years since he came to this world, even though Jiang Chiqiu had repeatedly told himself that he only came to this world to complete the task.But after so many years, Jiang Chiqiu has already regarded the Jiang family as his relatives.
Although Jiang Xianwen cheated Jiang Chiqiu when he was young, as an elder brother, he is absolutely competent.
In the past five years, Jiang Xianwen has grown taller and darker a lot, but the only thing that remains the same is that whenever he returns home when he is free, he will take Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia to have a good time. for a while.
Although Jiang Chiqiu always felt that he was mentally older than Jiang Xianwen, he had already admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was his brother.
Hearing Jiang Hexia's words, Jiang Chiqiu actually followed her and repeated: "Yes, is Jiang Xianwen really going?"
——Jiang Chiqiu was not just simply worried about Jiang Xianwen.
Ever since he heard the system prompt and knew that he would stay in this world for a long time, Jiang Chiqiu also began to try to understand the world.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu soon realized one thing: the dynasty he was in now might soon perish.
This dynasty is called "Mu" and has a history of more than 200 years.
In the past few years, the Mu Dynasty was quite prosperous, but in the past few decades, the Mu Dynasty has experienced abnormal weather first, and then there have been dizzy and incompetent emperors one after another.
Although Jiang Chiqiu only has the memory of two worlds, the knowledge in his subconscious tells him: History is irreversible.
Now that Jiang Xianwen is going to try to reverse history, Jiang Chiqiu naturally disagrees.In addition, as a time traveler, he didn't have much recognition for this era, so Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously said what he just said.
After hearing Jiang Chiqiu's words, Jiang Shangshu immediately said sharply: "Nonsense!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia shut up immediately, only to hear Jiang Shangshu continue: "You guys play around with Jiang Xianwen all day, why didn't you learn what he is good at? It's difficult to learn from the county, don't you think about it?" How do you share your worries for the Holy One, but you want your brother to be a deserter instead?"
Jiang Chiqiu had never seen Jiang Shangshu so angry.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from not far away.Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously looked sideways, and then saw Jiang Xianwen's figure.
As an aristocratic boy, Jiang Xianwen had the privilege to go home and get ready before going on an expedition.
Jiang Xianwen didn't hear the conversation just now. After seeing Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia standing and being scolded, the young man couldn't help laughing at them as usual, and then asked: "Chi Qiu, He Xia, what are you doing?" What are you doing again?"
Xi Peishan didn't want these two unreasonable people to mention what happened just now, she stepped forward and smiled and said, "They are all concerned about you."
"Caring about me?" Jiang Xianwen said exaggeratedly, pinched Jiang Chiqiu's round cheeks that were no longer as round as when he was a child, and then said with great relief, "It seems that my brother has not cared about you in vain all these years."
"Brother, how long will you be back from this expedition?" Jiang Hexia stepped forward and asked.
Jiang Xianwen thought for a while and said: "If it is soon, it will be less than half a month. Waiting for my brother to become a general!"
Jiang Xianwen has always been so confident, but after hearing his words and thinking about the current situation in Xuejun, Jiang Chiqiu's high-hanging heart slowly fell down.He thought that even if Mu Chao was going to collapse sooner or later, it must not be now.
At least for now, Mu Chao should be able to survive.
Jiang Xianwen didn't stay at home for too long. After having dinner, he left Baofan City with the army.
Speaking of which, since he came to this world, Jiang Chiqiu has somewhat disliked the people here's excessive trust in Zhufengguan.Even after he got to know Ming Zhouzhi better, Jiang Chiqiu mentioned this matter to him.
But this time, after Jiang Hexia left Baofan City, Jiang Chiqiu actually went to Zhufeng Temple because of this incident.
Five years have passed, and Ming Zhouzhi has changed from a boy back then to an adult.
His facial features are much deeper, and his temperament is more stable.In Jiang Hexia's words, the word "gongzi" is more suitable for Ming Zhouzhi today than "beauty".
Jiang Chiqiu was already a frequent visitor to Zhufeng Temple. After he came here, he went to Ming Zhou Zhi's place without any hesitation.
It's the same as what Jiang Chiqiu thought - now Ming Zhouzhi is indeed meditating.
Speaking of which, in the past five years, the national teacher who looked very young suddenly fell ill and then aged a lot.Many major events in Zhufeng Temple are now handled by Ming Zhouzhi.
Seeing Ming Zhouzhi who was meditating, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but slow down.
He went to sit opposite Ming Zhouzhi, and when Jiang Chiqiu took his seat, Ming Zhouzhi opened his eyes.
The man's eyes are beautiful, different from Jiang Chiqiu's amber color, Ming Zhouzhi's is as dark as ink.
At first glance his gaze was cold and impersonal.
But when he saw that the person sitting opposite him was Jiang Chiqiu, Ming Zhou Zhi's expression suddenly eased.
"Did I disturb you?" Seeing Ming Zhouzhi suddenly opened his eyes, Jiang Chiqiu asked with some embarrassment.
Seeing this, Ming Zhouzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already finished meditating myself."
"That's it..." Jiang Chiqiu poured himself a cup of tea, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
He took a sip of tea, and then said to Ming Zhouzhi: "I don't know if you have heard that there is a rebellion in Xuejun..."
Asuka nodded slightly.
Jiang Chiqiu continued: "My brother went to Xuejun, and I'm a little worried about him."
Having known Jiang Chiqiu for so many years, this is indeed the first time Ming Zhouzhi saw Jiang Chiqiu write the word "worried" on his face.
"So..." Jiang Chiqiu hesitated and asked, "Can you help me figure out if he will go well this time?"
Speaking of which, when Jiang Chiqiu first came to this world, he thought Zhu Fengguan's so-called pinching was a lie.But after staying there for a few years now, he finally realized that the people in Zhufengguan were not just talking out of thin air as he imagined, but really able to pinch and count.
It's hard to get a hexagram from Zhufengguan, but Mingwuzhi naturally wouldn't refuse Jiang Chiqiu's request.
"Of course..." After hearing Jiang Chiqiu's words, he hurried to
And in a few days, it will be the old man's [-]th birthday.For this reason, although Jiang Shangshu was busy with official duties and couldn't go back, Jiang Chiqiu was picked up by his mother from Zhufeng Temple and returned to his hometown in a carriage.
Going back with Jiang Chiqiu was his sister Jiang Hexia.
The original owner's hometown is called "Zhouqing City", which is the second largest city in this dynasty.Zhouqing City is surrounded by plains with a vast area of cultivated land, and it is the most important grain-producing area in this dynasty, so the city is also famous for its "richness" all over the world.
Jiang Chiqiu had been staying in Zhufeng Temple for several months, and after being picked up by his mother and put into the carriage, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu's uncontrollably happy look when he got into the carriage, Jiang Chiqiu's sister couldn't help but "tsk", then approached and asked: "Chi Qiu, why are you so happy? Isn't it fun to stay in Zhufengguan?" ?”
Jiang Chiqiu leaned towards the cushion behind, and said by the way: "It's okay, but it's too hard to be watched by people every day."
——Jiang Chiqiu didn't mean to be joking at all.
But who told him that he is just a child who is only over six years old now, after Jiang Chiqiu said this sentence with a serious face, Jiang Hexia and Madam Jiang who were sitting beside him all laughed.
"Being watched?" Wen Yan Jiang Hexia asked very puzzled, "Has the national teacher asked someone to watch you? What do you think of you?"
After all, Jiang Hexia is young, and she often goes to the palace to report.
Therefore, during this period of time, she only went to Zhufeng Temple a few times with her mother, and each time she stayed for a while before leaving.Obviously she was very curious about Jiang Chiqiu's life in Zhufeng Temple.
Also when he said this, Jiang Hexia's eyes also became a little sympathetic.
Jiang Chiqiu nodded and said: "Yes, the national teacher asked Ming Zhouzhi to watch me, he would stare at me every day and drink medicine..."
"Jiang Chiqiu!" Jiang Chiqiu was interrupted by Jiang Hexia before he finished speaking.
The sympathy in Jiang Hexia's eyes disappeared completely at some point, and the girl viciously recited Jiang Chiqiu's name, and finally commented: "You don't know how to be blessed when you are blessed!"
He almost forgot that Jiang Hexia seemed to be a face controler.
Mrs. Jiang on the side kept watching the interaction between her son and daughter. Although the two people made a bit of noise in the carriage, the lively atmosphere hadn't passed for a long time.
This was Jiang Chiqiu's first time traveling in a horse-drawn carriage, and it was a novelty for him at the beginning.But on the second day, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't take it anymore.
Although the interior of the carriage was nailed with a circle of cushions, after a day passed, these cushions were useless.
Especially now that Jiang Chiqiu and his party are getting farther and farther away from the capital, and the condition of the official road on which the carriage travels is gradually getting worse.
Yesterday Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia were still bickering, but today they have all faded away.
Mrs. Jiang knew that such a situation would happen a long time ago, so she took Jiang Chiqiu away from the Phoenix Temple early and set off early.
Seeing the state of Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia, Mrs. Jiang told the carriage to slow down a bit.
In order to divert his attention, Jiang Chiqiu also lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
Just looking at it, the scene outside the window was completely different from Jiang Chiqiu's imagination.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that the carriage he was riding in was passing through a small town. The two sides of the road were not the small merchants and hawkers he imagined, but all the skinny and hungry people...
Although Jiang Chiqiu was already an adult in his shell, he had seen the tragedy of a demon cultivator massacring a city in his last life.But seeing the scene outside the carriage unprepared still surprised him.
"Ah!" Jiang Chiqiu exclaimed softly.
Mrs. Jiang, who was reclining in the carriage reading just now, glanced at Jiang Chiqiu quickly after hearing Jiang Chiqiu's voice, and then drew the curtain of the carriage.
Jiang Chiqiu glanced at the brocade soft bag inside the carriage, and then recalled the scenery he saw just now, he didn't know what to say for a while.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Chiqiu still tried to ask: "Mother was outside just now..."
"Hey..." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "During this winter, it snowed heavily in Baofan City, do you remember?"
Jiang Chiqiu nodded, of course he remembered this.When the first snow fell, my brother took himself to the snowy field outside the city, and Ming Wu Zhi Tian gave him a cloak.
A while ago, Jiang Chiqiu was still regretting that the snow had hardly stopped this winter, and the royal family held the horse race as scheduled during the days when the snow was the heaviest.And I was sick at that time, so I had to be absent.
Mrs. Jiang continued: "The snow has been heavy in the past three to five years. You may not feel anything in the capital. But when you leave the capital, you will know that large tracts of crops have been frozen to death by the weather."
Hearing this, Jiang Hexia, who often hangs out with people while sitting on the side, couldn't help adding: "So that's how it is! No wonder when I went out a few days ago, someone said "a disaster from heaven"..."
Jiang Hexia was still young, so she didn't know how dangerous the words she just said were.
But Mrs. Jiang knew, so Jiang Hexia was interrupted by the woman sharply before she finished speaking.
Since childhood, Jiang Hexia has almost never been so cruel to her mother, so when she saw this scene, her eye sockets turned red all of a sudden...
——In fact, all of this is not a "disaster from heaven", but a pure coincidence.
Jiang Chiqiu's current era happened to have reached a small ice age, with frequent droughts and floods in summer and extremely cold weather in winter.At the same time, the crops planted in the ground are still the ones that were not cold-resistant before. The combination of these factors has led to successive famines in recent years.
It's just that people in this era don't think of this reason. Although no one mentioned it in the court, some folks have long linked this matter with the current emperor's licentiousness.
After Jiang Hexia was reprimanded by his mother, the carriage suddenly became quiet.
Although Jiang Hexia is young and sometimes speaks casually, she is a very kind girl.
After the grievance of being reprimanded by her mother passed, Jiang Hexia gently tugged Madam Jiang's sleeve again, and asked her: "Then mother, can we give them food from our family? "
In an instant, the woman's expression became more complicated. She rubbed Jiang Hexia's hair, sighed and said, "It's good if you have this heart..."
In short, because of this matter, the atmosphere on the carriage gradually became silent.
And as they got closer to Zhouqing City, there were more hungry people outside.Later, it was even difficult for the carriage to move.
At this time, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help asking the system: [System, are you sure this world is a leisure world? 】
Recently, Jiang Chiqiu is still the same as before, every once in a while he will "disturb" the system a little because of anxiety.
But this time the system's answer turned out to be different from before.
After Jiang Chiqiu's voice fell, the system paused and said: 【The host please wait patiently. 】
Wait patiently?What are you waiting for?
Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly asked after hearing this different answer, but this time the system stopped talking like the previous few times.
In the silence halfway, Jiang Chiqiu finally returned to his hometown in Zhouqing City.
This is the birthplace of the Jiang family, although most of the Jiang family members are officials in Baofan City.But in old age, they will still choose to return home.
The grandfather of the original owner was such a person.
According to the memory of the original owner, his grandfather returned to Zhouqing City when the original owner was two years old.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu didn't have many memories of his grandfather in his mind, and he didn't know what kind of person the other party was after thinking about it for a long time.
The area of Zhouqing City is only a little smaller than that of Baofan City in the capital, but the Jiang family, the largest family in Zhouqing City, has a house as grand as the palace of the capital.
After getting off the carriage, seeing the tall courtyard gate, Jiang Chiqiu thought he had made a big circle and returned to the capital.
After all, he came back from the capital to celebrate the old man's birthday. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Chiqiu was led to complete a bunch of complicated etiquettes, and then walked around the garden of the mansion for a long time before finally going to the original owner's grandparents. Meet them.
Many Jiang family members of Jiang Shangshu's generation are officials in the court, but he is currently the one with the largest official position.
Therefore, in addition to the original owner's grandparents, there are many relatives who Jiang Chiqiu can't name in the main house.
The ancient aristocratic family is really troublesome - Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help thinking when he followed his mother to identify people one by one.
And according to the practice of this court, after greeting all the people in this circle, Jiang Chiqiu finally stepped forward to give a big gift to his grandparents.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that although the man and woman in front of him were full of hair, they were in good spirits.The fabrics on their bodies can be seen at a glance that they are not extraordinary.
Although he didn't have many memories about these two people, according to what his mother told him when he came here, Jiang Chiqiu already had a little understanding of their personalities.
They should be unsmiling, even for Jiang Shangshu, the best child of his generation, their attitudes are all lukewarm.
However...something that Jiang Chiqiu did not expect happened.
After paying homage to the two old people, he was suddenly picked up by his grandfather and placed on a soft bed beside him.
One must know that although Jiang Chiqiu is only six years old, he is not young at all.
After Jiang Chiqiu was hugged by the other party, he really broke out in a cold sweat.
"Chi Qiu... I heard that you have been staying in Zhufeng Guan a while ago. I wonder how you get along with the national teacher and Zhou Zhi?" Jiang Chiqiu's grandfather asked while hugging him.
The tone was very kind, not at all like the indifferent old man described by his mother.
Jiang Chiqiu: ...
Jiang Chiqiu felt that apart from the fact that he was the youngest in poor health, the fact that his grandfather treated him so well had something to do with the fact that he had stayed with the national teacher for a while before.
"Well, I've been staying in Zhufeng Guan all the time. The national teacher... is a very nice person. Although he is usually busy, he will spare time to teach us homework. He is a very easy-going person." Jiang Chiqiu tried his best to pretend Speak in the tone of a child.
After hearing Jiang Chiqiu's description, everyone in the room showed envy in an instant.
Well, seeing the eyes of the people in the room, Jiang Chiqiu understood: it might not be him who they gathered here to wait for, but the story of life in Zhufengguan brought by him.
But this made Jiang Chiqiu feel a little relieved. Although everyone is a family in terms of blood relationship, most of the people here have never been seen before.
Jiang Chiqiu seemed more willing to share the stories in Zhufeng Temple with them than being surrounded by everyone to care about.
But thinking about it carefully, when Jiang Chiqiu was in Zhufeng Temple, he spent most of his time with Ming Zhouzhi.So when his family members chased him to ask questions about Zhufeng Temple, the name "Ming Zhou Zhi" kept appearing in Jiang Chiqiu's mouth.
At the same time, Ming Zhouzhi, who was pruning flower branches in Zhufeng Temple, suddenly sneezed.
A few days before Jiang Chiqiu's grandfather's birthday, he first lived here in Zhouqing City with his mother and Jiang Hexia.
At that time, when Jiang Chiqiu was leaving Zhufeng Temple, Ming Zhouzhi once told him to write a letter to himself when he arrived.
At that time, Jiang Chiqiu thought that the other party was joking, or just being polite. After all, he was only going to Zhouqing City for a while, and he didn't really move.
Therefore, after arriving in Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu threw away the matter of writing the letter that Ming Zhouzhi had said before.
However, Jiang Chiqiu did not expect that on the second day after he came to Zhouqing City, he would receive a letter from Ming Zhouzhi.
In the minds of the people of this dynasty, the view of Zhufeng should be mysterious and lofty.So even after listening to Jiang Chiqiu talk about Zhufeng Guan that day, the image of the national teacher's disciple Ming Zhouzhi that Jiang's family made up was still abnormal.
Now, after opening the letter sent by Ming Zhou Zhi, and seeing the trivial things Ming Zhou Zhi wrote about Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but think of the awe-inspiring eyes of his family when they heard the words "Ming Zhou Zhi" .
——Perhaps it was at this moment that Jiang Chiqiu finally regarded Ming Zhouzhi as his friend, more precisely, as his best friend in this world.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chiqiu really added a lot of workload to Ming Zhouzhi during the time he was in Zhufeng Temple.
But the young man didn't get bored with Jiang Chiqiu because of this. On the contrary, after Jiang Chiqiu left here, Ming Zhouzhi, who didn't have to wake him up every day and help him make medicine, felt that something was missing in his life.
Although Ming Zhouzhi officially became a disciple of the national teacher not long ago, he was sent to Zhufeng Temple after he was born.
People in this world are always in awe of Zhufeng Guan, even children.
It might be a bit vulgar to say it, but the fact is: Jiang Chiqiu met him tomorrow, and he was the first person to treat him as an ordinary person.At the same time, Jiang Chiqiu is also one of the rare, or unique, people in this world who has never treated Zhufeng Guan in a special way.
This kind of Jiang Chiqiu made Ming Zhouzhi feel a rare relaxation.
So not long after Jiang Chiqiu left Zhufeng Guan, Ming Wuzhi wrote a letter to Jiang Chiqiu.After receiving the letter, Jiang Chiqiu also wrote back a letter to Ming Zhouzhi neatly, and imitating the tone of the child, introducing him to the characteristics of Zhouqing City——according to Mrs. Jiang, Ming Zhouzhi Since Day Zhi was born, he should have never left Baofan City.
Here, Ming Zhouzhi regards Jiang Chiqiu as a child, while on the other hand, Jiang Chiqiu, who considers himself an adult, also regards Ming Zhouzhi as a child.
So after he left Baofan City and returned to his hometown in Zhouqing City, Jiang Chiqiu thought of the "poor" Ming Zhouzhi who had never been out of Baofan City, so he carefully told him the stories outside the capital .
At the same time...Jiang Chiqiu couldn't hold back, and vaguely mentioned the matter of the hungry people outside the city.
Until now, Jiang Chiqiu didn't think he would stay in this world for too long, so he didn't know how he should change the world.
But Jiang Chiqiu knew that if there was someone in his generation who could change the status quo, that person would not be a certain prince, but definitely Ming Zhouzhi in Zhufengguan.
The days in Zhouqing City passed quickly, and during the time he stayed in the Jiang family's ancestral house, various people who Jiang Chiqiu could be named and those who could not, kept coming to ask him about Zhufengguan.Jiang Chiqiu answered patiently at the beginning, but then he simply pretended not to understand.
Grandpa Jiang's birthday was very large, but Jiang Chiqiu, who was still a child, just ate a few meals and gave the old man a gift.Jiang Chiqiu was not interested in the birthday banquet, and just as Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet was over, another major event happened in Zhouqing City.
——The sage who sits in Baofan City has sent someone to Zhouqing City to select beautiful women.
If Jiang Chiqiu's memory is not wrong, there are already countless concubines in the imperial palace, and the current Majesty has no shortage of heirs.
Jiang Chiqiu knew this truth, and everyone else knew it too.Even so, the event of selecting the best girls was carried out vigorously in Zhouqing City.
The bustling scene in Zhouqing city is really full of contrast with the scene of hungry people everywhere outside the city.
The carriage of Shang Shufu passed through Zhouqing City again and headed towards the gate of the city. Mrs. Jiang took a look at the bustling and prosperous scene in the city, and then at the deserted fields outside the city.After a short pause, the woman said to Jiang Chiqiu: "Chiqiu, after returning to Baofan City this time, you can continue to study in the palace."
Compared with the life in the imperial palace and Zhufeng Temple, Jiang Chiqiu definitely prefers the latter.
But when he heard the woman's words, Jiang Chiqiu didn't bargain, he just nodded quietly.
Jiang Chiqiu gently opened the curtain of the carriage by a small gap. While looking at the scene outside the window, he secretly thought in his heart - before he returned to Baofan City, he must write a letter in advance to inform Ming Zhou this matter.
And at this moment, the voice of the system suddenly came from Jiang Chiqiu's ear.
[The mission plot is ready to be loaded, please prepare the host. 】
Jiang Chiqiu: [What? 】
The carriage itself was extremely quiet, but Jiang Chiqiu was startled by the sudden sound of the system.However, compared to the contents of the system prompt, it is obvious that this sudden sound is nothing.
"The mission plot is ready to load" Is this what I think it means?
After hearing these words, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly remembered something.
Before coming to this world, the system seemed to be saying: "Please prepare and rest for the host, and will go to the second world soon."
So could it be that there was a problem with my understanding at the beginning, this world is not a leisure world, but the real world where the second mission is located.
Fuck it, don't you?
The more Jiang Chiqiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was really the case.
While the system was still there, he hurriedly said: [Wait for the system!You mean I have to complete tasks in this world? 】
[Yes host, please wait for the mission story to load. 】
【How long will it take? 】Jiang Chiqiu asked.
The system stopped for a moment of calculation, and then replied: 【Please wait patiently, the mission will officially start after.... 】
【When did you just say that, I didn't hear clearly. 】Jiang Chiqiu really didn't expect that the system would lose its chain at this time one day.The system was clearly able to speak clearly, but when it came time to estimate the time, it suddenly left this space for itself.
Jiang Chiqiu has reason to suspect that the system doesn't even know when the plot will start.
After Jiang Chiqiu said that he didn't hear clearly, the system repeated what he said just now, and disappeared after he finished speaking.
And Jiang Chiqiu, who calmed down again, also began to think.
I am only six years old now, and I can't do anything at this age.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu guessed that the official start time of the mission is definitely based on "years".
Thinking of this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but after realizing that this was the second official mission world, he also felt that he could no longer be as ignorant as before.
If you want to complete the task well, you still have to study.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting next to Jiang Chiqiu, suddenly heard her youngest son sigh.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was only six years old and still chubby, made such a voice, if it was placed at other times, it would definitely make people feel cute and funny.
But when she appeared now, Madam Jiang suddenly felt a little heavy.
The woman stretched out her hand to rub Jiang Chiqiu's face.She thought - after giving birth to Jiang Chiqiu, she and Jiang Shangshu decided not to put too much pressure on Jiang Chiqiu, and he just wanted to grow up healthy and healthy.
But at this time, the situation is getting worse and worse.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was born in the Jiang family, couldn't be what they thought, a little prince who didn't know the safety of the world.
After returning to Baofan City, the first thing Jiang Chiqiu did was to write a letter to Ming Zhouzhi, telling him that he would continue to study.
And after receiving Jiang Chiqiu's letter, Ming Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Even though he and Jiang Chiqiu were eight years apart in age, he had already regarded Jiang Chiqiu as his only friend during their relationship a while ago.
Although Mingwu knows that Jiang Chiqiu, as the young son of the Jiang family, cannot stay in Zhufeng Guan for too long, but knowing that Jiang Chiqiu will return to the past life track now, Mingwu knows that it is inevitable Still a little lost.
In the following days, natural disasters and famines continued, but the prosperity of Baofan City was even better than before.
Jiang Chiqiu, who was born as a young son of Jiang's family, has returned to the life track of two points and one line between the palace and the family in the past, but whenever he has time, he will go to Zhufeng Temple to find Ming Zhouzhi.
Day by day, Jiang Chiqiu's stature has grown a lot. He is still as white as before, but more than half of his baby fat has disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, six years have passed.
On the carriage to the palace one day, Jiang Hexia, who was sitting next to Jiang Chiqiu, suddenly held his chin and said, "Chiqiu, I think you are much prettier than before. If someone now wants to judge you as the number one beauty in the court If so, I will definitely vote for you."
Jiang Chiqiu, who was squinting and dozing in the carriage, suddenly woke up because of Jiang Hexia's words.
He didn't complain about the title of "No. [-] Beauty", but remembered the incident when Jiang Hexia took him to Zhufeng Temple to see Ming Zhouzhi when he first came to this world many years ago...
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu silently staring at him without saying a word, Jiang Hexia immediately guessed that the other party must have remembered what happened back then.
"Stop, stop! Don't mention that matter again!" Jiang Hexia quickly waved his hands preemptively, "Tsk tsk, who would have thought at that time that you would actually get mixed up with Ming Zhouzhi."
It's not surprising to see too many beauties.
In these years, Jiang Hexia has followed Jiang Chiqiu to Zhufeng Temple many times. At the beginning, she would be excited by it, but she has seen it a lot—especially when she sees Ming Zhouzhi and her younger brother who are naive. After the interaction, Jiang Hexia's filter was completely shattered.
Therefore, the current Jiang Hexia has long regarded that incident as a dark history of his childhood.
Seeing Jiang Hexia's panicked look, Jiang Chiqiu stretched his waist and said half-jokingly: "Then I'll vote for you. You seem to be very interested in this matter."
Speaking of which, the Jiang family in this world are very good-looking, especially Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia. Although they are two years apart, they have six or seven points alike in appearance.According to Jiang Chiqiu's knowledge, many princes in the palace have a crush on his sister Jiang Hexia, but girls don't think much of them.
——Five years later, the emperor of this dynasty is still the same as before, and those princes are also starting to look up and down.
Just as he was talking about the carriage having stopped at the gate of the palace, Jiang Chiqiu lifted the curtain of the carriage and prepared to go down.
But just after the curtain was lifted, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but froze here before he could take a step.
"Chi Qiu, what are you doing..." Immediately after, Jiang Hexia was about to get out of the carriage, and she asked subconsciously when she saw Jiang Chiqiu's motionless appearance.
However, before Jiang Hexia finished speaking, she also stayed here because of the scene outside the car.
The city gate that Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia frequented was called "Quanchun Gate", and it was just a side gate of the palace.Normally, there wouldn't be many people here.
But today not only a bunch of people appeared here, but also a bunch of soldiers in armor.
When Jiang Chiqiu saw them, one of the generals leading the team also saw Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia.
Seeing this, the man holding the hand came forward to salute Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia, and then said: "Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, today's schoolwork is suspended, you should go back home first."
While the man was speaking, a group of soldiers behind him also looked towards him.
Seeing this, Jiang Chiqiu slowly retreated into the carriage with Jiang Hexia, nodded to each other and said, "Okay, thank you General for reminding us, we'll go back right away."
After finishing speaking, the man stepped forward and said a few words to the driver of the carriage, and the carriage immediately turned around and headed towards Jiang's mansion.
Far away from Quan Chun's Gate, Jiang Chi Qiu and Jiang He Xia sat face to face, unable to speak a single word.
When the noise from the street came to his ears, Jiang Hexia finally said to Jiang Chiqiu full of fear: "Was Chiqiu just now sending troops to Quan Chunmen? Then... brother, he won't have a problem, right? "
Jiang Hexia was already trying her best to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled slightly.
In the past five years, Baofan City looked the same as usual.But from the conversations between his parents and his elder brother who came home occasionally, Jiang Chiqiu already knew that the current situation was no longer stable.
But no matter how undercurrents were surging before, there has never been a situation where troops were dispatched at Quanchunmen.
Although Jiang Chiqiu himself was a little nervous, he still comforted Jiang Hexia and said: "It's okay, brother may not be able to go to the battlefield this time. Besides...it's okay even if he does, he has practiced for so many years, the reason is just like this One day? Think about it, is there any general in this world who hasn't been on the battlefield?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Hexia tried to calmly nod, "You're right, brother must be fine."
After chatting these two sentences, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia returned home in silence.
When they went back, the atmosphere in the Jiang family became extremely serious. Obviously, their parents already knew about it.
And the father, who is an official in the court, of course knows more than them.
"Peishan, you don't have to worry. The scale of the Xuejun rebellion this time is not large. Xianwen and the others will definitely be able to handle it."
——The full name of the original owner's mother is Xi Peishan, which Jiang Chiqiu only found out a few years ago.
Hearing this, the woman shook her head slowly and said with a sigh, "I naturally trust Xianwen, but...he is going to fight, how could I not be worried."
Hearing this, Jiang Hexia who was standing at the door couldn't help being taken aback: "Mother, do you think brother is really going to fight?"
"That's right..." Xi Peishan was still the same as a few years ago, gently touching the head of her daughter who had grown a lot.
Jiang Hexia was at the time of adolescence and rebellion. She didn't like her mother communicating with herself like a child.But now that Jiang Hexia was so obedient, she couldn't help muttering: "Does brother have to go?"
It has been more than five years since he came to this world, even though Jiang Chiqiu had repeatedly told himself that he only came to this world to complete the task.But after so many years, Jiang Chiqiu has already regarded the Jiang family as his relatives.
Although Jiang Xianwen cheated Jiang Chiqiu when he was young, as an elder brother, he is absolutely competent.
In the past five years, Jiang Xianwen has grown taller and darker a lot, but the only thing that remains the same is that whenever he returns home when he is free, he will take Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia to have a good time. for a while.
Although Jiang Chiqiu always felt that he was mentally older than Jiang Xianwen, he had already admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was his brother.
Hearing Jiang Hexia's words, Jiang Chiqiu actually followed her and repeated: "Yes, is Jiang Xianwen really going?"
——Jiang Chiqiu was not just simply worried about Jiang Xianwen.
Ever since he heard the system prompt and knew that he would stay in this world for a long time, Jiang Chiqiu also began to try to understand the world.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu soon realized one thing: the dynasty he was in now might soon perish.
This dynasty is called "Mu" and has a history of more than 200 years.
In the past few years, the Mu Dynasty was quite prosperous, but in the past few decades, the Mu Dynasty has experienced abnormal weather first, and then there have been dizzy and incompetent emperors one after another.
Although Jiang Chiqiu only has the memory of two worlds, the knowledge in his subconscious tells him: History is irreversible.
Now that Jiang Xianwen is going to try to reverse history, Jiang Chiqiu naturally disagrees.In addition, as a time traveler, he didn't have much recognition for this era, so Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously said what he just said.
After hearing Jiang Chiqiu's words, Jiang Shangshu immediately said sharply: "Nonsense!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia shut up immediately, only to hear Jiang Shangshu continue: "You guys play around with Jiang Xianwen all day, why didn't you learn what he is good at? It's difficult to learn from the county, don't you think about it?" How do you share your worries for the Holy One, but you want your brother to be a deserter instead?"
Jiang Chiqiu had never seen Jiang Shangshu so angry.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from not far away.Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously looked sideways, and then saw Jiang Xianwen's figure.
As an aristocratic boy, Jiang Xianwen had the privilege to go home and get ready before going on an expedition.
Jiang Xianwen didn't hear the conversation just now. After seeing Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia standing and being scolded, the young man couldn't help laughing at them as usual, and then asked: "Chi Qiu, He Xia, what are you doing?" What are you doing again?"
Xi Peishan didn't want these two unreasonable people to mention what happened just now, she stepped forward and smiled and said, "They are all concerned about you."
"Caring about me?" Jiang Xianwen said exaggeratedly, pinched Jiang Chiqiu's round cheeks that were no longer as round as when he was a child, and then said with great relief, "It seems that my brother has not cared about you in vain all these years."
"Brother, how long will you be back from this expedition?" Jiang Hexia stepped forward and asked.
Jiang Xianwen thought for a while and said: "If it is soon, it will be less than half a month. Waiting for my brother to become a general!"
Jiang Xianwen has always been so confident, but after hearing his words and thinking about the current situation in Xuejun, Jiang Chiqiu's high-hanging heart slowly fell down.He thought that even if Mu Chao was going to collapse sooner or later, it must not be now.
At least for now, Mu Chao should be able to survive.
Jiang Xianwen didn't stay at home for too long. After having dinner, he left Baofan City with the army.
Speaking of which, since he came to this world, Jiang Chiqiu has somewhat disliked the people here's excessive trust in Zhufengguan.Even after he got to know Ming Zhouzhi better, Jiang Chiqiu mentioned this matter to him.
But this time, after Jiang Hexia left Baofan City, Jiang Chiqiu actually went to Zhufeng Temple because of this incident.
Five years have passed, and Ming Zhouzhi has changed from a boy back then to an adult.
His facial features are much deeper, and his temperament is more stable.In Jiang Hexia's words, the word "gongzi" is more suitable for Ming Zhouzhi today than "beauty".
Jiang Chiqiu was already a frequent visitor to Zhufeng Temple. After he came here, he went to Ming Zhou Zhi's place without any hesitation.
It's the same as what Jiang Chiqiu thought - now Ming Zhouzhi is indeed meditating.
Speaking of which, in the past five years, the national teacher who looked very young suddenly fell ill and then aged a lot.Many major events in Zhufeng Temple are now handled by Ming Zhouzhi.
Seeing Ming Zhouzhi who was meditating, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but slow down.
He went to sit opposite Ming Zhouzhi, and when Jiang Chiqiu took his seat, Ming Zhouzhi opened his eyes.
The man's eyes are beautiful, different from Jiang Chiqiu's amber color, Ming Zhouzhi's is as dark as ink.
At first glance his gaze was cold and impersonal.
But when he saw that the person sitting opposite him was Jiang Chiqiu, Ming Zhou Zhi's expression suddenly eased.
"Did I disturb you?" Seeing Ming Zhouzhi suddenly opened his eyes, Jiang Chiqiu asked with some embarrassment.
