let go of my skin fairy

……

According to common sense, Jiang Yu'er should go to see his master after the debate is over, and return the Emperor Wu sword.

But Jiang Yu'er didn't do that.

He left Jixia with the Emperor Wu sword, but the master sitting on the top of the mountain of books didn't stop him, as if he forgot to borrow the sword.

So, Jiang Yu'er handed the Emperor Wu Sword to Jiang Chaoge in a deserted place.

And he himself went to Jiaofang Division.

……

into the night.

Jiaofang Secretary.

Jiang Yu'er met Emperor Ping Le and Ying Luo Yu.

This seems to have become a kind of 'normality'. When Emperor Ping Le met Jiang Yu'er, Luo Yu would always be by his side.

From this point of view, Emperor Ping Le still had great trust in Luo Yu.

After Luo Yu saw Jiang Yu'er, he immediately praised Jiang Yu'er's defense performance today.

After she finished boasting, she said: "Tomorrow Puxian will definitely be prepared, do you have any countermeasures?"

Jiang Yu'er smiled wryly: "What countermeasures can be taken? Tomorrow will definitely be Baozhi and Puxian. I can't possibly fight Baozhi and Puxian again?"

"That's...that's true." Luo Yu nodded, no matter how powerful Jiang Yu'er was, he couldn't be the opponent of Baozhi and Puxian Bodhisattva now.

But in this way, Luo Yu couldn't understand: "Then Pu Xian asked you today if you will come again tomorrow, why did you say that you will definitely be there?"

"Oh, this is just Puxian's blindfold." Jiang Yu'er smiled and replied: "The representatives of various schools of thought mistakenly think that Buddhism will pay all attention to me, but in fact they ignore it. The point of this debate."

"The point of defense? What is it?"

"The kingdom of the Southern Regions and the monster races of the Western Regions jointly invaded the Great Qin, and Buddhism wants to use this to enter the Central Plains!"

"But on this point... the emperor's elder brother and the queen mother have reached a consensus, right?" Luo Yu still didn't quite understand.

"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have only agreed to the entry of Buddhism, but the specific conditions of both parties still need to be negotiated."

"what do you mean?"

"Simply put, it is the relationship between 'primary' and 'secondary'."

"Primary?" Luo Yu blinked: "Does this still need to be discussed? If the Buddhist sect wants to settle in the Central Plains, it is naturally my master?"

"What if Daqin begged for Buddhism to settle in?"

"How is this possible?" Luo Yu immediately shook his head: "How can I, Daqin, ask Buddhism to settle in?"

Jiang Yu'er didn't want to explain anymore, but looked at Emperor Ping Le: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"The Buddhist sect threw out the bait, but their sincerity was not enough. I thought...they might be waiting for the battle report from the frontier." Emperor Ping Le replied after a little thought.

Luo Yu understood after hearing this: "So that's what it means. Buddhism wants to wait until my Great Qin is defeated, and then use this to raise conditions with my Great Qin?"

"That's about it." Jiang Yu'er nodded.

"Hmph, Buddhism is still too naive. How can I be defeated by a small country in the southern region when I am a sharp soldier from the Qin Dynasty?" Luo Yu snorted coldly.

Obviously very confident.

However, Emperor Ping Le had a hint of worry on his face: "Although my great Qin warrior is strong, the food and grass that I brought with me this time is not enough, and now it will be winter soon, if this battle drags on In winter..."

Emperor Ping Le did not say the latter words.

However, Jiang Yu'er knew very well that once the battle dragged on to winter and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow... insufficient food and grass, insufficient winter clothes, these problems would all appear.

Jiang Yu'er then asked: "Wu Ping Lord Meng Liang, you should have explained to the Queen Mother the tactical layout of this battle when you set off?"

"En." Emperor Ping Le nodded: "Jun Wu Ping means that the Southern Territory Kingdom has now broken three cities in a row. It is the time when the army is strong, and he wants to be defeated first to show weakness. Together!"

"Soldiers of Xijing?" Luo Yu obviously didn't know about this plan, and he no longer showed any puzzlement when he heard this: "But, isn't the soldiers of Xijing going to defend the monster race in the Western Regions?"

"Yes, Mr. Wu Ping means that as long as you can find the right time to wipe out the main force of the Southern Region Kingdom in one fell swoop, the Western Region Monster Clan will retreat."

After Emperor Ping Le finished speaking, he added another sentence: "This is also the only way to win quickly, otherwise, we will start a war on both sides... The battle will inevitably last for a long time, which is not good for us, Great Qin!"

Jiang Yu'er understood.

Daqin wanted a quick victory, so he could only resort to risky tactics.

To put it bluntly, it is to destroy one side with all our strength first... Although it is a bit risky, there is no way.

Of course, this tactical layout requires a prerequisite, that is, the commander must be experienced and find the most suitable fighter in the battle.

And Wu Ping Jun Mengliang obviously fits this point.

Therefore, after Jiang Yu'er listened, he didn't have any objections.

I hope there won't be... something wrong?

Now that foreign enemies are present, the stability of the court has become even more important.

The real reason why Emperor Ping Le invited Jiang Yu'er to Jiaofang Division was not only to discuss the frontier war situation, but also to take this opportunity to ask about Ji Chaotang's internal affairs.

So, he spoke again: "Now the queen mother reuses Jiang Erlang to supervise the defense of the capital, what does Brother Jiang think of this matter?"

"Jiang Erlang is a talent. With him guarding the capital, there shouldn't be any problems." Jiang Yu'er immediately affirmed.

"Well, since you even said that... then I can rest assured. However, although the safety of the capital is guaranteed, the court still needs some changes. After all, the enemy is now!"

Luo Yu immediately continued: "Brother Huang means that Jiang Erlang is currently in an important position and controls the army in the capital, so, for the sake of balance, I want you to join the Ministry of Officials."

"Join the Ministry of Officials?" Jiang Yu'er understood what Emperor Ping Le meant.

The Queen Mother took control of the troops stationed in the capital.

And Emperor Ping Le wanted him to get in touch with the government formally, so as to get a balance.

"I have sent a secret letter to Xiangguo. Brother Jiang can discuss it with Xiangguo in the next two days. With Brother Jiang's performance in Jixia today, I don't think my mother has any reason to stop it."

"There is no reason to stop it, but it doesn't mean the queen mother won't stop it." Jiang Yu'er replied.

"Then fight!" Emperor Ping Le seemed to have made up his mind.

"Actually, I think it doesn't make much sense to fight for the Ministry of Officials now."

"Why?"

"The Ministry of Officials has always been under the control of Mr. Xiangguo, and there will be no problems for the time being." Jiang Yu'er said his own thoughts: "If you fight for the Ministry of Officials now, even if you win, it will not be of much use, and it will be easy for Your Majesty to fight with you." If the relationship between the Empress Dowagers is stagnant, it will be detrimental to the stability of the court, so I don't recommend fighting for the Ministry of Officials."

"Then fight for the Ministry of Households! Now that the treasury of Daqin is empty, and the Ministry of Households can't afford money, if Brother Jiang can take this opportunity to enter the Ministry of Households, I can rest assured."

Tobe?

Jiang Yu'er could only smile wryly in his heart.

The current household department is a hard job, the war has already begun, and there is no money in the treasury. If he really takes a household department, it will really be a headache.

Of course, from Emperor Ping Le's point of view, he was definitely willing that Jiang Yu'er could sit in the household department and solve the current difficult situation in Daqin.

But this kind of difficulty arises fundamentally, and it is impossible to solve it in a short time.

In the history of the previous life, there are countless lessons of kings who were too hasty to lead to the ruin of the country and family.

Jiang Yu'er didn't want to see such a thing happen: "The household department... From now on, it's best to let the Ying clan go."

"Give it to Ying's clan... what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that last time because of Le Xinhou's incident, Si Che Shu Chang Ying Lin was forced to fall to the Queen Mother?" Jiang Yu'er reminded.

"Of course I know it. Could it be that you want Ying Linlai to be in charge of the household department?"

"Well, although Yinglin's ability is not too strong, but the prestige in the Ying clan is very high. Now that the Great Qin is facing a crisis, the Ying clan will definitely not sit idly by. If Yinglin is in charge of the household department, He will definitely mobilize Ying's clan with all his strength to raise enough money for the frontline war."

"That's true..." Emperor Ping Le seemed to realize something.

"If His Majesty can take the initiative to let the Yingjian concurrently serve as the household department, it may be of great benefit to the pro-government council in the future." Jiang Yu'er continued.

"Okay, I understand." After Emperor Ping Le finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yu'er again: "Then... what about Brother Jiang? Or go to the Ministry of Industry, just to make preparations for the river governance in advance."

That means I can't leave you idle!

Jiang Yu'er naturally understood this, so after thinking for a while, he said, "Treatment of the river is indeed very important, but it's probably not possible to control the river before the war."

"Then go to the Ministry of War!" Emperor Ping Le said again.

"Not quite." Jiang Yu'er shook his head.

"What about the Criminal Department?"

"The criminal department is in charge of solving the case, and now that there is the night investigation department, it doesn't make sense for me to go to the criminal department."

"Ministry of Rites?" Emperor Ping Le asked tentatively.

"I still want to participate in the Spring Festival next year. If I enter the Ministry of Rites, wouldn't it make people suspicious?" Jiang Yu'er smiled wryly: "How is this different from cheating in an open and aboveboard manner?"

"Brother Jiang has traveled to the fairyland for [-] years in a dream, and is the youngest bachelor in Daqin, who would think that Brother Jiang cheated?" Emperor Ping Le still insisted.

Jiang Yu'er shook his head: "There will always be something to talk about."

Emperor Ping Le probably saw Jiang Yu'er's attitude: "Brother Jiang has made a contribution to my Great Qin in the debate this time, so why don't we just fight for nothing?"

"If you don't fight, you are fighting!" Jiang Yu'er said seriously.

"..." Emperor Ping Le.

"Come to the Jiaofang Division, can't you drink without wine?" Jiang Yu'er changed the subject.

Emperor Ping Le could only smile: "How is it possible?"

So, Li Neiguan was called immediately, and the wine and food were served.

Although Jiang Yu'er knew Emperor Ping Le's thoughts, but in fact, he was not willing to get too involved in the government affairs now, after all, the most important thing in his heart was cultivating immortals.

……

on the other side.

On the Naihe Bridge in the underworld.

Jiang Chaoge came in front of Granny Meng.

Po Meng was obviously delighted with Jiang Chaoge's appearance, and immediately pulled Jiang Chaoge to sit down on the bridge: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some soup?"

"Soup...forget it." Jiang Chaoge didn't want to drink Meng Po's soup: "I came this time and brought the Emperor Wu Sword."

"Emperor Wu Sword?!" Granny Meng was startled: "Did you really bring it?"

"En." Jiang Chaoge nodded, and took out the Emperor Wu Sword.

The biggest reason why he took the Emperor Wujian so quickly was that he had already seen the sword spirit.

According to the Sword Spirit, if it is not the owner of the Sword Spirit, it is impossible to enter the world in the Emperor Wu Sword. In this case, if you show the Emperor Wu Sword to Granny Meng, nothing will happen.

After seeing the Emperor Wu Sword, Meng Po's eyes obviously brightened a lot, and she gently stroked the hilt of the Emperor Wu Sword with one hand, looking very excited.

"That's right, it's this sword!" Granny Meng seemed to be recalling the past: "300 years ago, Ying Banzi entered the underworld with this sword. It can be said that no one can beat him."

Jiang Chaoge immediately said: "Didn't mother-in-law say that she wanted to ask about the whereabouts of Emperor Wu Jianying's son-in-law? You can ask now, but after I finish asking, I still need to return Emperor Wu Jian."

Granny Meng nodded, "Well, I won't make things difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, she pulled out the Emperor Wu Sword, and, slightly closing her eyes, touched the blade of the sword with her hand, and let out a soft muttering sound from her mouth.

Jiang Chaoge sat at the side, waiting patiently.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Granny Meng frowned slightly: "This Emperor Wu sword..."

She seemed to hesitate to speak.

Jiang Chaoge asked, "Is there anything wrong with this sword?"

"There is no problem with the sword." Meng Po shook her head: "It's just that she doesn't seem to want to communicate with me too much, and I can't enter the world of the sword."

As expected... Jiang Chaoge's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the sword spirit will not allow 'outsiders' to enter the world in the sword.

But the strange thing is, why can I easily enter?

Jiang Chaoge asked again: "Is there any way?"

"I can only throw her into the water and soak until she is willing to communicate with me." Po Meng replied.

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

Seemingly aware of Jiang Chaoge's embarrassment, Granny Meng immediately smiled again: "However, since this sword is only borrowed temporarily, it is certainly impossible for Granny to throw her into the lake."

After finishing speaking, she handed the sword back to Jiang Chaoge: "Take back the Emperor Wu sword. In fact, I probably already know the answer."

"Got the answer?" Jiang Chaoge was a little surprised.

"Well, if you have a chance, you might be able to take this sword to the Southern Region."

"Southern Region?"

"Yes, there is a witch god there."

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

Po Meng also asked him to find the witch god?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Chaoge felt that maybe he could take this opportunity to ask about the witch god, so he said, "I don't know where this witch god came from?"

"He...he is the last great witch in the world." Po Meng replied.

"The last great witch?"

"That's right. Originally, there were twelve Great Witches, and they were called the Twelve Ancestral Witches by the world. However, after a big defeat, eleven of them died, and the only one left who was seriously injured was him." Granny Meng said directly.

But Jiang Chaoge was stunned.

The witch god... is the last one left among the twelve ancestor witches?

If he guessed right, the battle Po Meng mentioned...is the battle between Chi You and Yanhuang, right?

However, when did that happen?
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, and asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Since mother-in-law knows the origin of the witch god, how do you know the relationship between the witch god and Ying Banzi?"
