Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 761 Shaobai 34

Emperor Tai'an had no good feelings towards his son who would compete with him for power, but he was very patient with his grandchildren who were still young, innocent and lively and did not understand what power was. He was also willing to maintain superficial peace with Xiao Ruofeng for Xiao Lingchen's sake.

Zhuoqing was not disappointed when he saw that things did not develop in the direction he had imagined. He used Jiang Xinxin's words to stir up trouble, but he was just trying to get something for nothing.

Jiang Xinxin was somewhat relieved to see that Emperor Tai'an still had some rationality. Didn't you see that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was indeed wise and powerful when he was young, and the Tang Empire reached a height that surpassed the peak founded by his great-grandfather during his reign. However, due to his momentary stupidity in his later years, the Anshi Rebellion, which should have been quickly quelled, was delayed for eight years, and the positive and enterprising mentality of the entire Tang Empire was completely shattered.

Although Emperor Tai'an had always refused to share power with Xiao Ruofeng, and even took various actions to curb the development of Xiao Ruofeng's power, he ultimately did not bring this trend completely into the court. It can be seen that he still hoped to leave a more glorious mark for himself in the history books.

However, just when Jiang Xinxin thought that she could almost go back to Wangcheng Mountain and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time in Tianqi City, she suddenly received news that Emperor Tai'an began to investigate the matter between Baili Dongjun and Beique Emperor's daughter Yueyao, and thus held the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion accountable.

Jiang Xinxin heard the news at Qianjintai, which was the largest den of money-losing in Tianqi City and even in the entire Beili. Therefore, Jiang Xinxin was skeptical about the news.

After another three days, Qi Tianchen suddenly found Jiang Xinxin with a serious face, wanting to ask her for advice: "Your Majesty is going to punish the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion on the grounds that Baili Dongjun and Beique Emperor's daughter Yueyao have been too close. Now someone in the court has impeached the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion. Yuan Xin, do you have any way to resolve the crisis of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion this time?"

Jiang Xinxin thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "If I just want to solve the crisis of the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion this time, I naturally have countless ways. The simplest one is to find someone to disguise as Li Changsheng and show up. Emperor Tai'an is afraid of Li Changsheng, so he will naturally not allow the court to continue to attack the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion."

"But this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Emperor Tai'an is really targeting the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. He does not want to see the Crown Prince's power develop in the army. So the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion cannot be completely regarded as having suffered an unprovoked disaster this time. But as long as they hand over the military token and resign, they can get away with it."

When it comes to the crown prince, Qi Tianchen could only sigh, "But if the East Palace loses the help of the army, then it will really be completely controlled by His Majesty."

Jiang Xinxin didn't care about all this. Anyway, she had already come up with two ways to help the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion escape. It was up to them how to do it.

But it was not a good thing for Qi Tianchen to get too close to Xiao Ruofeng, so she had to give him some advice: "Master, since the prince is the heir apparent you favor, you must behave yourself and not get in touch with anyone from the East Palace easily, otherwise you will harm both the prince and yourself."

How could Qi Tianchen not understand the truth? It was just that he had no choice in the world of martial arts. He couldn't let Huanglong Mountain really cut off its inheritance. Now that Wangcheng Mountain was in its heyday, who would still remember Huanglong Mountain, whose power and reputation were no less than Wangcheng Mountain's today?

Jiang Xinxin understood what Qi Tianchen meant, and remembered the fragments of Dachun Gong and the elixir Nangong Chunshui got from Huanglong Mountain, so she advised him again: "Uncle Master, your Huanglong Mountain elixir is very difficult to practice. If you want to achieve something, you must have the support of natural materials and treasures. And there are so many places in the world where no human beings have set foot. You can find elixir growing in any uninhabited place."

"Uncle Master, you might as well look for one. Maybe in the future you will have the opportunity to cultivate a Taoist genius who is no less talented than Uncle Master Mo Yi, and make Huanglong Mountain famous again."

The decline of Huanglong Mountain did make Qi Tianchen sad. Although what Jiang Xinxin said was true, Qi Tianchen had already made up his mind. Otherwise, why would he give up Huanglong Mountain and enter Tianqi City to be this useless national teacher?

Since Jiang Xinxin couldn't be persuaded at all, she gave up. Xiao Ruofeng also had people who could give suggestions. Of course, someone also thought of pretending to be Li Changsheng to make Emperor Tai'an feel uneasy.

But unexpectedly, Emperor Tai'an not only failed to openly look for trouble with the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion, but actually directly pulled out the underground river that had already reached the shore and asked them to assassinate Baili Luochen and Baili Chengfeng, father and son.

Su Changhe immediately brought Su Muyu to Tianqi City disguised as foreign merchants to ask Jiang Xinxin for advice, "Tianshi, when we bought Muliang City from Emperor Tai'an, we not only paid almost all of Anhe's money, but we also promised to do our best for Emperor Tai'an three times."

"Now he wants us to help him get Baili Luochen's head. Logically speaking, we have the ability to do this, but hasn't Mr. Li appeared again recently? If we don't have a better reason, I'm afraid we can only use our own lives to show our loyalty to Emperor Tai'an."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but secretly curse Emperor Tai'an. Now Baili Luochen's head was not important at all. What was important was that Emperor Tai'an's original intention was to let Anhe and others test the quality of the current "Li Changsheng".

Therefore, the assassins from Dark River would only be able to dispel Emperor Tai'an's suspicion and complete his mission if they were seriously injured. They had to be injured by Li Changsheng before the matter would be over.

But now Su Changhe and the others cannot have any contact with Xiao Ruofeng. After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Xinxin decided to send a message to Ye Dingzhi, asking him to secretly pretend to be Li Changsheng and take action against Su Changhe and the others.

As for Baili Dongjun, who seems to be a better candidate, he, like Xiao Ruofeng, cannot move at all. At this moment, there may be many spies of Emperor Tai'an secretly watching him around him. Therefore, it is more convenient for Ye Dingzhi, who had secretly gone out of the domain early in the morning, to act.

After quickly separating from Su Changhe and Su Muyu, Su Changhe and Su Muyu took the Xie family's masters to Qiandong City, while Jiang Xinxin used the talisman sword to send a message to Ye Dingzhi, asking him to disguise himself as Li Changsheng and go to Qiandong City to seriously injure a group of masters from Anhe.

Strictly speaking, Li Changsheng's technique is a wood-attributed technique, focusing on vitality, and it is easy to borrow the energy of plants and trees between heaven and earth to increase the power of the moves. Ye Dingzhi himself has a fire-attributed spiritual root, and his technique is also a fire-attributed technique. It is not so easy to disguise it as Li Changsheng's Dachun Technique, but who can blame Ye Dingzhi for not only advancing to the realm of wandering in the mysterious realm, but also initially exploring a rough way to refine spiritual energy, so it is not so difficult to disguise the injuries caused by the wood-attributed technique.

The most important thing right now is to prevent the person who pretended to be Li Changsheng from Xiao Ruofeng from conflicting with Ye Dingzhi.

The people on Xiao Ruofeng's side didn't know that Jiang Xinxin had also intervened, and they had no idea that Emperor Tai'an had actually secretly found the Dark River killer to work for him. They could only tell Baili Dongjun, who was still depressed in Xueyue City, about this matter.

After Baili Dongjun left Xueyue City, he finally regained some of his brains and realized that the purpose of his trip was, first, to see his family, and second, to help Ye Dingzhi remove obstacles and complete the play.

When Baili Dongjun saw Xiao Ruofeng, he told him to just pretend to be trying his best to help mediate and not to really do anything else. He would finish the rest of the work with Ye Dingzhi.

After Xiao Ruofeng received Baili Dongjun's affirmative attitude, he handed the initiative to Baili Dongjun. In the end, Su Changhe and Su Muyu returned seriously injured, and a lot of masters of the Anhe Xie family were also "killed". Emperor Tai'an got Zhuoqing's personal confirmation that the person who caused the injuries to Su Changhe and Su Muyu was only at the Shenyou Xuan realm, and received the report that there was no unusual movement in Wangcheng Mountain, so he knew that he could not continue to attack the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.

But seeing that the Zhenxi Marquisate had taken the initiative to reduce its support for Xiao Ruofeng, Emperor Tai'an felt aggrieved but could only force himself to be satisfied.
