Fish swimming around the world

"The old hero is worried that Malu is just using his head, or is he setting up an outpost to test our Great Qin's reaction?"

"Your Majesty Mingjian, a certain person who has been active in the border areas all year round has made this judgment based on these signs, but he is not sure..."

Jiang Fan suddenly looked at him: "So, His Majesty asked you to find me?"

Wang Gelu sighed with satisfaction: "As expected of the prince, he hit the nail on the head."

Jiang Fan chuckled: "I'm afraid there is another reason. His Majesty promised me not to use weapons for the first five years. Now there is still more than one year left. He asked you to come to me because he wanted me to solve this matter."

Wang Gelu cupped his hands and said, "I dare not hide it from your Majesty. I believe that your Majesty also knows that this is a trick that His Majesty has spread, and this time it is indeed His Majesty's guidance."

He was frank and did not hide anything, which actually won Jiang Fan's favor.

"Jiang already knows about this matter. He will meet with His Majesty when he returns to Yangdu soon to discuss countermeasures. The old hero just needs to go to the border and wait for news."

Wang Gelu chuckled and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from the prince."

"Don't worry, even if nothing else is said, as an old hero, Jiang is bound to be enshrined by my Xiaoyao Society."

Wang Gelu laughed loudly and turned to look at his son: "Zhonghou, you have chosen a good master."

Wang Zhonghou just scratched the back of his head and laughed innocently.

Jiang Fan said: "Speaking of this matter of worship, the old hero must also be following His Majesty's orders."

Wang Gelu nodded: "Even so, I personally submitted the request to His Majesty for approval."

"Oh?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "The old hero took the initiative?"

"Yes, the prince is indeed admired by me, a reckless man. Even I am looking forward to the day when the prince will bring thousands of troops and horses to conquer the northern border. At that time, Wang is willing to be the vanguard of the horse."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "The day will come when Da Qin sets foot on the northern frontier."

Wang Gelu sighed with emotion: "Thousands of years of chaos have caused the people to live in dire straits, and all the sons and daughters of our Chinese clan think about it day and night. This is why the Xiaoyaohui was born."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Speaking of Xiaoyaohui, do you recognize the other two enshrined old heroes?"

Wang Gelu chuckled: "There is only one of them, and the prince knows it well. But I don't know the origin of the old man Ku Rong."

Even he didn't know about this matter. Jiang Fan felt more and more interesting and even wanted to ask Zhang Tianshi.

Wang Gelu talked about another matter: "My lord, you have slapped someone in the face again during this grand ceremony. That Gao Jian is not easy to deal with. He will definitely seek revenge in the future. You must be careful." ”

Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "My king and Taihua have long been irreconcilable. To use what I said just now, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."

Wang Gelu pondered for a moment: "I have something to say. I think it's better to inform the prince. Taihua is not just Gao Jian. Yang Bachi, the second disciple of the Holy Lord, is an exception..."

Jiang Fan was stunned, not expecting that he also knew this Yang Bachi.

"How to say it?"

Wang Gelu said: "Senior Yang never fights internally, but only fights against external enemies. He is admired by Wang, and he is also the one who leads the way."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly: "Eight Feet to Three Frontiers is indeed true. You might as well tell the old hero that I have met with that senior and received a martial arts volume from him. It is just right for you to take it to my disciple. Meng Yi.”

Wang Gelu's eyes lit up: "He is indeed a hero, and Senior Yang is still a role model for us."

Jiang Fan took out the volume and put it in Wang Gelu's hand: "This is the hard work of the old man's life. He told Meng Yi that he must not let it down."

Wang Gelu solemnly continued: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring him."

After putting it away, he said with full appreciation: "Meng Yi is worthy of being the prince's first disciple. He traveled across the border, fought bravely, and repeatedly won military honors. Now he has been promoted to the rank of Tiger Colonel. In a short period of time, he has become a feared existence among the barbarians in northern Xinjiang. He is known as the young tiger of the Meng family. During the war not long ago, he smashed Malu's third son to death with his copper mace. His brains exploded on the spot, which was so painful."

Jiang Fan was greatly relieved when he heard this, and Meng Yi finally began to grow up in great strides.

"And his eight personal guards and one hundred soldiers, all of whom are extremely fierce and invincible across the border. They are called the Tiger Vanguard Battalion in the army."

Listening to Wang Gelu's praise, Jiang Fan was also sincerely happy for them. Among the soldiers, they were all growing up, and one day they would become great heroes who could stand up to heaven and earth.

After chatting for a while, Wang Gelu explained to his son again, drank three bowls, and rode away with his whip raised.

After he left, Jiang Fan remembered someone.

"Since entering Taihua, I haven't seen the old man Ku Rong. What is he doing?"

Wang Zhong said kindly: "He has always been there, but he was hiding in the vegetation and watching secretly. Anyone who tried to explore the camp at night these past few days was driven back by him."

Jiang Fan said oh, but he didn't expect that Kurong Sou was very serious about his work.

"Where are you now?"

Wang Zhongzhong said: "I don't know, maybe he left, maybe he is still hiding among the grass and trees. This old man has always been elusive, and it is difficult for us to track his whereabouts. Even when he came to Taihua this time, he personally found him."

Jiang Fan suddenly thought: "Has he ever said...why he came?"

Wang Zhonghou was stunned: "Isn't it to protect the prince?"

Jiang Fan shook his head. At this time, Situ Zheng's wheelchair slowly approached: "Your Majesty, if you have something in mind, I have heard you ask about Taihua Qianhuang Long Live Bamboo."

Qianhuang Long Live Bamboo? Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "What the hell?"

Situ Zhengdao: "There are tens of millions of strange bamboos in Qianhuang Ridge, Taihua. A few of them have lived for a thousand years and are the best of bamboos. The fishing rod used by the old fisherman and the Spring and Autumn pen used by Prime Minister Zhang are made of this bamboo. Among these tens of millions of bamboos, there is a king of bamboos, which has lived for ten thousand years and is the soul of Qianhuang Ridge. Every thousand years, it sprouts a shoot, called a thousand-year shoot, which is full of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It is said that eating it can keep the body from aging until death, and the old can also be rejuvenated. Martial arts practitioners can even increase their skills by a decade. . "

Jiang Fan was very surprised: "Is there such a natural treasure in the world?"

Situ Zheng said: "The thousand-year-old bamboo shoots have always been the king of spiritual plants, and everyone in the world covets them."

"You mean, the old man Ku Rong is eyeing the thousand-year-old bamboo shoots?"

Situ Zheng shook his head: "I don't know, the third priest just asked a question and didn't say much."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "Call him to see me."

Situ Zheng sighed: "The person is gone, and I am really worried..."

Jiang Fan frowned, left? Did he leave or went to Qianhuangling? Jiang Fan never expected that after finally getting off Taihua safely, this kind of thing would happen. If Situ Zheng's guess is correct, then the old man Ku Rong might make a big mess.

"Send a message to Qin Xiao, and tell him to go investigate as soon as possible."

Situ Zheng said: "I have made arrangements, and the news will be reported immediately. The matter of Taihua has just been barely resolved, and I hope this person will not cause any trouble."

"You all go too, and report as soon as there is something. Rest in place for a day and wait for news."

"Yes, sir."
