Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40, First Glimpse

The first day after Jiang Wangsheng's departure.

Jiang Kongliu put down the bamboo slips in his hand, with serious eyes, looked at the person coming, and chuckled, "Director of the First Division of Dali Temple——Mo Qi?"

"Master Jiang, long time no see. The last time we saw each other was before the Southern Tang battle." Mo Qi said neither humble nor overbearing.

Jiang Kongliu said: "When did Director Mo ignore the golden rules of Dali Temple?"

"No." Mo Qi paused, "I'm not here for any government affairs, but for you."

"Me? Director Mo, please give me some famous words." Jiang Kongliu said.

Sitting beside Jiang Kongliu, Mo Qi took out a letter, put it on the table, and said, "The spies from Haoyue City have received news that Jiang Wangsheng was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown."

Jiang Kongliu frowned, and sneered: "My son Wang Sheng is a ninth-rank master, how many people in this world can hurt him?"

"Then what if it's Tianbang Jiupin?" Mo Qi asked back.

Jiang Kongliu frowned slightly, and opened the envelope.

Mo Qi said, "It was the hands of the actor Chi Yuqing."

"No. 21 on the Tianbang?" Jiang Kongliu felt a little relieved when he heard this.

"That's right, it's the order from Shen Wen, the prefect of Yecheng County." Mo Qi hid his hands in his sleeves, and said, "Although Master Jiang and I are on good terms, Jiang Wangsheng may be Meng Jue's husband. Meng Jue is People from Dali Temple!"

Jiang Kongliu clenched his other hand hidden in his sleeve tightly.

"How's the situation?" Jiang Kongliu asked after reading the letter.

Mo Qi shook his head, "It's not known yet. However, my men captured a woman named Lurui, who is Chi Yuqing's best friend. After interrogation, Chi Yuqing went south to hunt down Jiang Wangsheng."

"In this world, this woman is probably the only one who knows Chi Yuqing's whereabouts." Mo Qi reminded.

Jiang Kongliu asked, "You mean, she knows where Sheng'er fled to?"

"That's right, that's the end of the story. Whether you believe it or not, my people have kept her in a bamboo building outside the city, and they will take her away tomorrow evening. It's up to you whether you go or not."

Mo Qi got up and left.

Before entering the hall, Jiang Kongliu said, "You come to me, and it will soon reach His Majesty's ears."

"Don't worry, I'm here to discuss with you the Ministry of War's anti-corruption campaign." Mo Qi was well prepared.

In the end, only Jiang Kongliu was left, frowning, looking at the letter in his hand, "Ask Shi Chenyang to come see me."

Shi Chenyang walked in and saluted Jiang Kong.

"How is Sheng'er's martial arts? Could it be against the ninth rank of the Tianbang?"

Shi Chenyang hesitated for a moment, "I only know that the young master is at the level of the ninth rank, but I have never seen anyone who can match the young master."

"Then what if the Ninth Rank of Tianbang makes a move?" Jiang Kongliu asked.

Shi Chenyang fell into silence, he had never met the ninth rank of Tianbang with Jiang Wangsheng.

Jiang Kongliu secretly said: "Back then, the national swordsmen didn't know if he was Sheng'er. Those who knew his strength were Huang Mengjue and Yun Yuyan."

"Probably Wu Qiling's master and apprentice also know a thing or two. But since the assassins died in our two families, there have been more and more spies." Jiang Kongliu waved his hand, signaling Shi Chenyang to step back.

"There are many eunuchs in charge of ceremonies among them. With the people around me, it is absolutely impossible to go out to deliver letters." A sigh came out.

Jiang Kongliu took a step forward, staring at the pillar that Jiang Wangsheng had leaned against, and said in his heart, "According to what he said, Chi Yuqing couldn't hurt him. But young people, who haven't had much experience in the world, don't know how big the world is, and capable people come forth in large numbers. "

As a father, knowing the news of Jiang Wangsheng's accident was already in turmoil, but now that he has thought about it carefully, he still cannot be sure.

Jiang Kongliu was born in the barracks, if he was young, he could have taken risks in the army, but now, he dare not make fun of Jiang Wangsheng's life.

When people are old, the only hope is that the children under their knees will be safe and thrive.

"Get ready, come out of town with me tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes." At the corner, the eighth-rank master who was personally protecting Jiang Kongliu responded.

"Do you need to call Shi Chenyang?"

Jiang Kongliu was silent for a long time, "Let him watch at home."

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Kongliu went to the Ministry of War and forged a secret report that the enemy country was hiding outside Tianwang City.

In the afternoon, Jiang Kongliu drove out of the city with three people and his guards.

Before reaching the hillside, a group of people walked up the hill slowly and ran to the bamboo building on the top of the hill.

On both sides of the bamboo building, two members of the Dali Temple held long swords. After seeing Jiang Kongliu, they hurriedly saluted, "My lord, please!"

Jiang Kongliu nodded and walked into the bamboo building.

There is no furniture in the bamboo building, only seven coffins are placed, one of which is made of golden nanmu.

On the four sides are the sword of Western Chu, the sword of Beili, the armor of Southern Tang, the rocks of Shu, the sand of the Yellow River, the vines of the dense forest, and the quicksand of the mud.

Jiang Kongliu frowned.

"Master Jiang." Mo Qi stepped into the bamboo building with a serious expression on his face.

At the same time, hundreds of masked men appeared on the Sifang hillside, holding crossbows and aiming at the bamboo building.

More than a dozen martial arts masters above the seventh rank stood at the door, and Mo Qi picked out a swordsman who had just entered the ninth rank, and followed him to the left and right.

"Mo Qi." Jiang Kongliu thought for a while, "You know me very well."

"These are the traces of Mr. Jiang's battles in all directions. To be honest, I respect you very much, but" Mo Qi changed his tone and shook his head helplessly.

"I, Mo Qi, assure you that after you die, you will be buried in a grand manner, and the Jiang family will enjoy glory and wealth forever." Mo Qi said word by word.

Jiang Kongliu sneered, "If I die, won't His Majesty investigate further? Before and after the investigation, you, Mo Qi, are the most suspected person."

"Don't worry." Mo Qi paused, and said, "Someone in the court took bribes from Bei Li and fled in fear of crime. I will track him down outside the city and bring back the suspect."

"At that time, a Nantang team will appear where they should appear."

Jiang Kongliu murmured: "Looks like it's for the alliance with Beili. Mo Qi, what benefits does Beili promise you? Let you betray Xichu!"

"We didn't betray Xichu, I did it for Xichu!" Mo Qi shouted angrily.

"The alliance with Beili is just a temporary strategy. At that time, we will occupy the Southern Tang Dynasty, the North and the South will confront each other, relying on the favorable location and people's harmony, and when we seize the sky again, let me, Western Chu, become the great Chu that truly dominates the world!" Mo Qi's eyes were full of fanaticism.

Jiang Kongliu nodded and said, "At that time, you, Mo Qi, will be the hero who founded the country and become a good story."

"I've said it before, I'm for Xichu! I can hide in the dark, and when things are done, I can also resign and go back to the mountains." Mo Qi replied.

Jiang Kongliu asked, "Who is behind you?"

"Of course I can't tell you that."

Mo Qi looked at the four people beside Jiang Kongliu, "On the eighth rank, if it is normal, it can indeed keep you safe. But here, letting him put on wings will not be of much use."

The guard bowed forward, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Jiang Kongliu asked: "That Shenger?"

"Don't worry, Jiang Wangsheng is not in danger."

"The governor of Yecheng County, Shen Wen, is also one of yours?"

Mo Qi said, "That's right."

Jiang Kongliu looked around, "With so many people mobilized, won't it be noticed?"

Mo Qi tilted his head, slightly disdainful, "In my impression, Mr. Jiang Kongliu is not such a talkative person."

"I hope you don't ruin your reputation for the sake of a momentary life." Mo Qi said with a heavy tone.

Jiang Kongliu said suddenly, "Don't underestimate Your Majesty."

"what?"

Jiang Kongliu asked slowly: "Do you really think that your majesty ascended the throne because the former emperor had few heirs?"

Mo Qi snorted coldly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is beyond my reach. Besides, we are loyal ministers, not traitors!"

Harem.

Concubine Hui observed the texture of Bai Nenyu's hand, "The fall of a hero will move the stars to the east. It's a pity that such a person cannot be used by us."

"With Jiang Kongliu's death, the second son of the Jiang family will have no background. Huang Yingjun is alone, and it's hard to be successful. We finally succeeded." Concubine Hui stood up.

Concubine Hui looked in the direction of the Queen's bedroom and smiled coldly, "It's finally here. I've been planning for so long, isn't it just for that seat?"

"Chuan'er is useless, so I want to help him ascend to the throne of God, make him the co-lord of the world, and let those who look down on him worship him forever." Concubine Hui opened her hands, as if embracing a bright future.

"Your Majesty." A maid came quickly and said in a low voice, "Jiang Wangsheng has gone to Shenwen's residence now."

"Very well, let's find a way to get rid of this thorn in my side."
