The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 41

Jiang Chen walked out of the secret room after about four hours.    

To be honest, the process of healing the poison only took about an hour. Jiang Chen then took another hour to fully convey to his father all aspects of “The Secrets of the Nine Laughing Oceans”.    

In addition, Jiang Chen had used this time to discuss the mystery, the key to training, and some details of the “Secrets of the Nine Laughing Oceans”.    

Bridging the gap between “Big Wave Method” and “The Secrets of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is not that difficult. Anyway, “Great Wave Method” is from “”Secret Nine Laughing Oceans”.    

“The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is just an improved method in the end.    

Of course, the mystery contained in “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is more than ten times that of “The Great Wave Method”.    

As the duke of a territory, Jiang Feng's potential was quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to train up to the peak level of “Great Wave Method at thirty.    

If not for the limits of his methods, his current training level would definitely not be as simple as nine meridians of true qi. With Jiang Feng's potential, it was certain that he would enter the ranks of true qi masters.    

When Jiang Chen walked out of the secret room, Jiang Ying and everyone immediately rushed up to him.    

“Adipati Muda, Yang Mulia…” Jiang Ying adalah orang yang paling peduli dengan kesejahteraan Jiang Feng. Dia menegur dirinya sendiri dengan cukup keras, dan dia merasa sang duke telah terluka karena dia tidak melindunginya dengan baik.    

“Dad has closed the door.” Jiang Chen did not explain the reason exactly.    

Jiang Feng would naturally take advantage of the opportunity to obtain the “Security of the Nine Laughing Seas” to attack ten meridians of true qi. After all, he had spent quite a lot of time to occupy the peak of the nine meridians true qi.    

Now that he had received the inheritance of the method, this was an incredible opportunity given by the heavens. He used this excuse to close his door, one to mess with the outside world, and two to increase his strength. This means killing two birds with one stone.    

Qiao Baishi clearly already looked at Jiang Chen as an ally. He walked over, very concerned. “Young Duke, how did your father hurt?”    

“Thank you for your concern, Third Hallmaster, my father's injury is no longer a serious problem. I will personally pay a visit to the Hall of Healing in a few days to thank the third principal who has made this trip. However, I would like to ask the third principal to keep the events of today a secret.”    

"Of course." Qiao Baishi was well aware of Jiang Chen's intentions.    

With the situation in the capital at the moment, obscuring Jiang Feng's injury status would probably cause the outside world to not fully understand the condition and therefore unwilling to act rashly.    

Seeing Qiao Baishi show a face that yearns for knowledge, Jiang Chen smiled. “I will explain to the third principal in detail the method I use in curing poison when I have time.”    

Qiao Baishi smiled widely, he had been waiting for this sentence. As a spirit alchemist, Qiao Baishi craved for knowledge, this matter was deeply realized by Jiang Chen.    

After sending Qiao Baishi, Jiang Chen gathered Jiang Ying and the others.    

“Jiang Ying, palace needs security upgrade at the moment. There should be no carelessness in this.    

Jiang Fu, deal with the duke's injury problem in an ambiguous manner. Let the outside world speculate as much as possible, it would be better if it became the talk of the city.”    

"Yes." Yeah." Unbeknownst to everyone, they were all used to receiving orders from young duke Jiang Chen.    

It was as if the news that Duke Jiang Han had been ambushed at his doorstep was growing rapidly, and spreading like wildfire.    

Rumors and speculations also sprang up when this matter became a conversation in the city.    

The proud duke of a territory and king of a province has been ambushed at the doorstep of his own house, and it is said that his wounds were not light – that his life was in peril.    

This suddenly made all the other dukes sense danger.    

Although they could all guess that the duke of Jiang Han had offended someone he was not supposed to do, thus resulting in his death, yet still, the duke of a province had experienced an assassination attempt in the capital. Some dukes even sympathized with one of their own kind.    

After all, the Duke of Jiang Han was an unlucky person today, but tomorrow? Who knows if it's someone else's turn.    

Once a precedent was set for things like this, no one knew what else might happen after.    

Other than those who were unfriendly to Duke Jiang Han, the other dukes who were neutral were quite sympathetic towards Duke Jiang's circumstances.    

Inside the palace of Soaring Dragon.    

The Duke of Soaring Dragon held a private banquet inside his palace and entertained his distinguished guests.    

Those who could attend such a very private banquet were all distinguished guests and companions as well as confidants of the Duke of Soaring Dragon.    

Next to the main seat, beside the edge of Duke Long's chair, sat a silver-colored long-robed man with a strange embroidery of flowers and flowers on it.    

This man exuded a ghostly and exotic aura. Her hair was like a yin yang – half of which was black, while the other half was silvery gray, clearly depicting the left and right sides of her head.    

A calm blue light radiated from the pair of eyes, engulfed in a strange and elusive aura.    

“Mr Violet, I personally salute you with this cup of wine.” The Duke of Soaring Dragon raised his cup and said to the graceful and exotic man.    

Supreme Court Chief Wang of Pill King Garden laughed cynically, “Thank you for Master Violet's actions this time. Otherwise, it would take a little effort to kill Jiang Feng without anyone realizing it.”    

The exotic man, Lord Violet, chuckled softly, but unceremoniously accepted Palace Head Wang's flattery without the slightest hint of humility.    

The Duke of Yanmen, Yan Jiuzhuang, chuckled. “Without Jiang Feng, the people in the Jiang Han household would be a bunch of headless dragons. That Jiang Chen brat was only sixteen years old, just how much insight and ability could he possibly possess? Without Jiang Feng, the Jiang family's business would be difficult to defend itself. We will be one step closer to what the Duke of Soaring Dragon is looking for.”    

The Duke of Soaring Dragon laughed cheerfully. “Kissing Jiang Feng is the first step. The second step was to seize the rank of a duke of Jiang Han. Only when the medal signifying the title of a duke is in the hands of our own people is this step considered complete and perfect.”    

“Awardess Jiang Han, Jiang Fu, is very pitiful. He actually came to my Pill King Garden to ask a spirit alchemist to save Jiang Feng. It seems like the Jiang family is turning to any doctor they can find in times of need.” Court Chief Wang felt that he had vented a little of his sense of humor every time he thought of this.    

“And what about Jiang Feng's injury?” The Duke of Soaring Dragon asked.    

Court Chief Wang hurriedly replied. “With Master Violet moving, Jiang Feng must have died. Even a true qi master would not find an antidote if exposed to this poison, let alone nine meridians true qi.”    

“The Jiang family and the Healing Hall have a strong connection, I'm afraid the Hall will get in the way of our goal.” The Duke of Soaring Dragon still felt uneasy, as he had yet to see Jiang Feng die.    

Mr. Violet said lightly, “Duke Long is too worried. With my method, even the Lord Hallmaster of the Hall of Healing only has a thirty percent chance of understanding what happened. And Hallmaster Lord Song Tianxing was not present in the capital these past few days. The ones left in the Hall, heh, are all worthless.”    

Master Violet's tone was extremely arrogant, and she was very confident in her poison method.    

The Duke of Soaring Dragon also seemed to rely heavily on this person. She smiled, “Your help this time represents even heaven that helped me.”    

“Duke Long, I won't spend too much time on polite words. You and I both get what we need. Do not forget to realize what you promised me today, after you seize the throne in the future.”    

“This duke is not someone who burned the bridge after crossing it. Calm down Mr. Violet, when I take the throne in the future, the position of minister of state will undoubtedly be yours. However, the warning was that you should help the Pill King Garden overthrow the Hall of Healing. Before I started my business, I did not want a giant figure like the Healing Hall to stand on the side of the Eastern clan.”    

Mr Violet said weakly, “If I can't handle this small business, what right do I have to bid for a reward with Duke Long?”    

Duke of Soaring Dragon laughed out loud and raised his glass again, “Then, this is a happy partnership and building a big goal together!”    

Inside the palace, Eastern Lu had also received news of an ambush in the Jiang Han palace.    

“Tiandu, what's the latest news?” Eastern Lu's mood was very bad. He had just defeated Du Ruhai today, and had inadvertently attacked Duke Long's arrogance.    

Who would have thought that this Long Zhaofeng would do this in reverse, and point the tip of his spear at Jiang Feng.    

If Jiang Feng died from this, the impact on the royal family would definitely outweigh the impact caused by Du Ruhai's trimming. Regardless of how one looked at it, it was still him, Eastern Lu, who had failed.    

After all, Jiang Feng was a provincial king and his meaning in strategy had recently increased all of a sudden.    

Du Ruhai was just a small character. In the capital, his influence made him someone who was marginalized, someone who was unable to get into the inner circle.    

“Your Highness, it doesn't look good. The Jiang family had summoned the third hall master of the Healing Hall, but the third hall master left not long after arriving. It seems that Jiang Feng's injury wasn't too optimistic.”    

Eastern Lu roughly threw his cup to the ground, his tone sinister and cold. “Long Zhaofeng, do you openly put aside all considerations for the noble face?”    

“Your Majesty please stop being angry. Long Zhaofeng showed his strength in this way, it was likely that his preparations had not been completed yet. Your Majesty still has plenty of time to prepare.”    

Eastern Lu immediately resumed the dignity of his kingdom after his brief anger. “We must be very comforting and soothing to the Jiang family in this matter, no matter what. We also have to prepare for the worst. If Jiang Feng gave up, how to help Jiang Chen successfully navigate the transition would be a very difficult matter    

It is true that. If Jiang Feng died, they would have trouble convincing the public that Jiang Chen, at the age of sixteen, should immediately inherit the rank of a duke.    

Will power in the Jiang Han territory controlled by the Duke of Jiang Han be subject to a teenager, let alone officials and courtiers?    

The territory of a duke covers a vast territory, with many cities possessing many powerful rooted powers and interlocked with one another. If there were no powerful dukes ruling over them, then this local power would be the first party to revolt.    

Your Majesty, no matter what happens, we must calm Jiang Chen down. Otherwise, if he slackened, it would be detrimental to Princess Zhiruo.”'s illness    

Eastern Lu nodded his head, feeling the same way. Eastern Zhiruo's illness required that Eastern Lu could not dispose of Jiang Chen, much less the strategic meaning of Jiang's father and son in fighting the Soaring Dragon duke.    

“Tiandu, select some powerful subordinates and send them to Jiang palace. I was worried that targeting Jiang Feng was only the first step. In order to fully seize the rank of a Jiang duke, Jiang Chen would undoubtedly be the target of the next few people. Nothing can happen to Jiang Chen.”    

“Subject You understand.” Tiandu nodded.    

“Take Gouyu.” Eastern Lu rubbed his forehead slightly, a little tired. Right now, only his younger brother, Gouyu, could calm Eastern Lu's mind.    

When Princess Gouyu learned of the ambush against Jiang Feng, she also felt shocked and inexplicable. He had just finished raiding Du Ruhai's house when he heard Eastern Lu's call, and immediately rushed back to the palace.    

He prayed inwardly for Jiang Chen, hoping nothing would happen to Jiang Feng.
