Chapter 41 Cai Wenji
Chapter 41 Cai Wenji
Wouldn't it be nice to spend more time at home and spend time with your beautiful ladies instead of dealing with state affairs?
"Just send it here, Miss Wan'er, go back."
Arriving a few hundred meters away from the gate of Daming Palace, Jiang Mingche paused and said to Shangguan Wan'er.
After saying that, Jiang Mingche strode away.
"Just friends?" Shangguan Wan'er's expression was very complicated as she watched Jiang Mingche's departing back.
She couldn't explain exactly what her feelings were towards Jiang Mingche. Maybe it was admiration, maybe gratitude, maybe worship, maybe all three.
Jiang Mingche was made a marquis and appointed prime minister at a young age. He had unfathomable cultivation skills and was handsome, gentle and elegant. He did not have the condescending airs of other ministers and had a very easy-going personality.
It is worthy of the saying, the man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
After spending time with such a person, I'm afraid there is no girl who would not be moved.
What's more, Jiang Mingche had saved him once and given him so many Water Spirit Flowers that he needed to break through.
Only when Jiang Mingche's figure completely disappeared at the gate of Daming Palace did Shangguan Wan'er withdrew her complicated thoughts.
"Alas..." With a faint sigh, Shangguan Wan'er turned and headed towards the empress's bedroom.
Although she had Wu Zetian's oral order that she could enter and leave the palace at will, she usually accompanied Wu Zetian when she had no mission.
For the next period of time, Jiang Mingche did not go anywhere. He stayed indoors all day long and stayed at home, reciting poems, writing essays, drinking and appreciating the moon with his wives.
There were rumors in the court and the public that the regent was doing evil all day long, and they requested Wu Zetian to remove Jiang Mingche from the position of regent, but Wu Zetian rejected all the requests.
Good times are always short-lived. Half a month later, after bidding farewell to the four crying girls and promising to return home within two months, Jiang Che set out on his journey again.
Outside the gate of Chang'an City, Jiang Mingche was wearing a black and red robe, with a cold expression, which added a bit of domineering to him.
This was one of the nine gifts bestowed upon him by Wu Zetian, symbolizing his supreme status as regent.
After looking back in the direction of Chang'an City, Jiang Mingche left without looking back.
Because it was still early, Jiang Mingche did not fly directly to Jixia on his sword.
Instead, he rode a white horse alone in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, stopping and walking, admiring the unique scenery of the Heluo area.
Five days later, Jiang Mingche arrived at the easternmost border of Heluo, where there was a river that ran dozens of miles from east to west and spanned a million miles from north to south.
This river is also the dividing line between the Heluo land and the Great River Basin, and the three-part land. As long as you cross this river, you will be in the Great River Basin.
Jiang Mingche sold his horse, came to the river, and found an old man who had docked his boat on the shore.
"Boatman, do you want to go to the three-point land on the other side of the river?" Jiang Mingche came to the old man and asked with a faint smile.
"Young man, what are you going to do in Sanfendi?" The old man looked up at Jiang Mingche and asked suspiciously.
"I have relatives in Jiang County, and I am going to Sanfendi to visit relatives and friends." Jiang Mingche said nonsense casually.
"Sir, please go back. I advise you not to go to Sanfendi at this time."
"Oh? Why can't I go?" After hearing the old man's words, Jiang Mingche also became interested and asked curiously.
There is war going on in the Three-Third Land right now. If you go there at this time, you might be affected...
The old man looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he came in front of Jiang Mingche and spoke in a low voice.
"I heard from the merchants who returned to Heluo from the Three Kingdoms that Cao Cao, the monarch of Weidu, made a deal with Xu Fu of the blood clan, gained supreme power, and turned all his soldiers into blood clans..."
"Cao Cao intends to directly annex the Three-Part Land. I'm afraid that the Three-Part Land will not be peaceful in the near future."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Jiang Mingche pretended to be extremely surprised.
"That's right. After Cao Cao and Xu Fu made a deal, the people of Wei were destitute and miserable, and the gods were angry and the people were resentful..."
"I see that you are also a nobleman from a wealthy family who is out for fun. I advise you to turn around and go back."
"Even if you want to visit relatives and friends, you have to wait until after this period of time." After the old man said that, he stopped talking, turned around, got on the boat, and rowed away.
“I didn’t expect that Xu Fu is not dead…” Jiang Mingche narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured.
He originally thought that Miyamoto Musashi could kill Xu Fu directly after he completely turned evil. Now it seems that he thought too simply.
As an old fellow who has lived for who knows how many years, Xu Fu's strength is unfathomable. How could Miyamoto Musashi kill him easily?
Cao Cao and Xu Fu made a deal, and it seems that there will be no peace in the Three Kingdoms for a long time to come.
However, my top priority now is to go to Jixia Academy first, and other things can be dealt with later.
Since no boatman was willing to go to the Three-Point Land, he could only fly on his own sword.
With a thought, the Jinghong Sword appeared directly in Jiang Mingche's hand.
Jiang Mingche silently recited the incantation in his mind, constantly making the Jinghong Sword bigger. He leaped forward and his body rose directly onto the Jinghong Sword.
The Jinghong Sword rang out and flew towards the clouds in an instant. The river that divided the Heluo and Dahe basins into three parts was several million miles long.
Jiang Mingche flew on his sword for two hours, and around noon, he finally arrived at the border of the Three-Point Land.
As soon as the figure landed on the ground, Jiang Mingche was about to observe the surrounding situation, when the shouting and killing sounds not far away instantly attracted his attention.
"Catch her. Don't let Cai Wenji get away. She has something the monarch needs."
Cai Wenji? Hearing this voice, Jiang Mingche frowned and looked directly in the direction not far away.
A little girl holding a violin was desperately trying to escape under the protection of the energy shield.
Behind her were the soldiers from Wei capital who were chasing her relentlessly, led by a hooded man holding double blades.
Cai Wenji kept wiping away the tears from her eyes while running away. At the age of four or five, her tearful appearance was heartbreaking.
The experience during this period was like a nightmare to Cai Wenji. Her family was broken up when she was young, and she only had her father's disciple A Dian by her side.
After being adopted by her adoptive father Cao Cao, Cao Cao told her that the murderer of her father was Zhuge Liang, who coveted her father's research results on magic.
After Cai Wenji learned the news, she asked A Dian to take her to Yicheng to seek revenge on Zhuge Liang.
Unfortunately, she and A Dian were not Zhuge Liang's murderers. After the defeat, Zhuge Liang did not kill her. Instead, he told Cai Wenji the truth of everything.
After learning that her adoptive father Cao Cao was actually the murderer of her father, Cai Wenji did not believe it at first. However, after Zhuge Liang listed a series of evidence, Cai Wenji finally accepted this fact.
Having accepted the fact, Cai Wenji had no choice but to return to the capital of Wei, planning to wait and see when the opportunity avenges her father.
However, as soon as she and A Dian returned to the Wei capital, Cao Cao heard the news from somewhere.
Seeing that the situation had already failed, Cao Cao simply stopped hiding and directly started hunting down Cai Wenji and Dian Wei who had just returned to the Wei capital.
At the last moment, Adian temporarily stopped Cao Cao for her, buying herself some time to escape.
