Chapter 101: Requesting Northern Frontier

"Barbarian's weapons, are these people dead soldiers from Northern Xinjiang, coming to take revenge on Young Master Jiang?"

The general looked at these scorched and twisted scimitars: "Master Jiang went out to kill the barbarians. It is very likely that some northern Xinjiang thugs took revenge at night."

Cao Ying watched in silence for a while, "This princess will report it to her father. You will continue to search and report immediately if you find anything."

"A handful of strange fire burned down three hundred elite soldiers, but he himself flew away. This is such a good trick by Jiang Fan."

King Wei stared at Cao Ying with twinkling eyes, as if he meant something.

Cao Ying was silent for a moment and said: "Father, I was ordered to supervise my son and he failed to do his job well. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Punishment?" King Wei sneered: "The will-o'-the-wisp burned down the post house and Xiahou Marshal's Courtyard. Burning the post house can be said to be self-protection. What does the Marshal's Courtyard mean? Do you despise me, Wei?"

Cao Ying immediately said: "I don't know. But why do you think it was Jiang Fan who did it? Why is Jiang Fan like this?"

King Wei stared: "Are you questioning me?"

Cao Ying clasped her fists: "I don't dare, but Jiang Fan never does anything without reason. If there is evidence to prove that the Marshal's Courtyard is what he did, then there must be a reason for it."

"How outrageous!" King Wei burst into action.

Sima Ru sighed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Jiang Fan must have left long ago anyway, which saves him a lot of trouble. The only thing that puzzles the old minister is that the world has never heard of such flames. According to the reports from the soldiers, bricks, earth and stone All of them can be burned. Sprinkling water on them is like pouring oil on them. When they burn, black smoke will billow and heat waves will surge into the sky, a hundred times more intense than ordinary flames."

The King of Wei glanced at Cao Ying and said, "Perhaps my prince can give me an explanation."

Cao Ying just said calmly: "Father, forgive me, I don't know."

"I don't know?" King Wei sneered: "Be the first to evacuate the guards and servants. If you didn't know that Jiang Fan set the fire, why did you do this?"

Cao Ying said: "I had a quarrel with Jiang Fan at night, and I was so angry that I wanted to punish him."

"A quarrel? Are you going to have a quarrel with Jiang Fan? Why don't you tell your father about it?"

Cao Ying said calmly: "Barbarian found out that Jiang Fan knew the secret of the Changying Spear and wanted to get it, but Jiang Fan made things difficult, so there was a quarrel."

King Wei was stunned: "What's the secret of the Changying Spear? What's the secret of the Changying Spear? Could it be that you're trying to prevaricate me?"

Cao Ying took out the gauze scarf from his arms and said: "This is the secret of the long tassel spear. The barbarian got it only after he endured making things difficult."

"Send it up!"

Cao Ying handed it over to the chamberlain generously and conveniently.

"Poison Dragon Spear Technique?" King Wei frowned after looking at it for a long time.

"Yes, the poisonous dragon has nine transformations, seven transformations are honored, eight transformations are canonized, and nine transformations... No one has mastered it, so we don't know yet."

"Eight Transformations and Sainthood?" King Wei was obviously surprised.

"How did he know about such a precious thing, and why did he give it to you?"

Cao Ying said: "I don't know how to know. As for giving it to Man'er, there is an exchange."

King Wei said in a cold voice: "I'm afraid we can help them leave Jian'an City."

Cao Ying remained silent.

Sima Ru saw the atmosphere between the two condensed, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I am more concerned about this fire. Has Your Majesty ever thought about it, if Jiang Fan can really control Jian'an..."

King Wei's thick eyebrows moved, "Burning the city in flames?"

Sima Ru sighed: "It's true. No matter how powerful the Poison Dragon Spear is, it can only be done by one person. And Jiang Fan is the most terrifying if he can control the fire of hell. Can Jian'an City withstand such flames?"

King Wei took a breath of cold air, and after a long while, he turned his gaze to Cao Ying: "Since this thing is given to you, it belongs to you. Take it back. I just want to know what he said to you in the end."

Cao Ying looked at King Wei on the steps, remained silent for a moment and knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped.

"Father, please go to Northern Xinjiang!"

"Northern Xinjiang?" King Wei's hand paused for a moment and he looked at Cao Ying: "Why?"

Cao Ying said calmly: "The barbarians are arrogant and invade the territory repeatedly. The people are suffering unspeakably. My sons and ministers should share the country's worries."

King Wei was silent for a moment: "Is that true? Or... you don't want to get married?"

Cao Ying slowly bowed down: "Master Jiang once said, before the barbarians are wiped out, why should we take care of our family? I deeply agree with this."

King Wei was stunned. Sima Ru smiled slightly: "The barbarians have not been wiped out, so why do we care about our family? This Young Master Jiang is so heroic."

King Wei said: "He must have taught you to go to Northern Xinjiang..."

Cao Ying just remained silent.

Sima Ru pondered for a moment and said to King Wei: "It's rare for a princess to serve the country and the people. Why doesn't the king make it happen?"

The King of Wei frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, my son's ambition is not inferior to that of his men, and he will fulfill his duties as a father."

Cao Ying said in a deep voice: "Thank you, father!"

"Beijiang... what a Jiang Fan!" After Cao Ying left, King Wei could not hide his admiration in his eyes.

Sima Ru said: "It seems that he is playing with the world, but he has the world in his mind. If it weren't for these unpredictable methods, I would have some doubts that this son is Taiyue who came into the world and walked."

The king of Wei said: "The rise and fall of Taiyue's main temple, and the actions of the past dynasties have all affected the world's pattern. There are indeed some similarities with Jiang Fan."

Sima Rudao: "I received a tip a few days ago that Zhang Zhiling, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, received a piece of Linjiang Immortal from a fisherman on the Canglan River. He actually gave it a Spring and Autumn Brush Pen and a black and white inkstone. It has a lot of inheritance meaning."

The King of Wei nodded: "Xiang Zhang was born in Taiyue's generation and has now withdrawn from the world. Is it really such a coincidence that he met Jiang Fan? If there were no doubts, I would inevitably think so."

Sima Ru said: "Be it Taiyue or Kunlun, there has never been such a unique way of walking in the world in the past dynasties, let alone such a young person."

King Wei sighed: "It's a pity that I can't use it. This son is different from Zhang Zhiling who wants to restore the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It seems that he intends to support the one who will unify the world. Has the wind direction changed..."

Sima Ru said: "King Wei, there is no need to be impatient. This son is not yet good enough to participate in the overall situation of the world. Even if he can, it may not be a bad thing for us. Man'er can get his advice and invite Northern Xinjiang. This is a good start."

The King of Wei paced with his hands behind his back: "I just don't know if this son's purpose of asking the barbarians to enter the northern border is the same as ours."

Sima Ru chuckled and said: "The world is like a chess game, changing rapidly, who can control every step? At present, Man'er's trip to Northern Xinjiang meets our needs. If things change in the future, we can respond in time."

King Wei nodded: "That's right. Then let Jiang Fan leave?"

Sima Ru said: "Let him go. Now is not the right time to take action. It is better to let others take over this hot potato."

King Wei said: "It's a pity that Xiahou is incompetent and can't benefit from it."

Sima Ru said: "The king attracted the barbarians from northern Xinjiang to give Xiahou a good opportunity. He did not live up to the king's expectations, but he was a little softer because of Mrs. Wang Tong's life-saving kindness. As a last resort, I had to make some arrangements."

King Wei said: "The master of the country has a clever plan, so there will be no mistakes."

Sima Ru smiled and said, "Only Jiang Fan escaped. The king's head ailment may have to be nursed back to health slowly by me."

King Wei sighed and said helplessly: "It sounds like I dare to rule."
