The Sovereign Of The Three Realms

Chapter 41: The City Talks

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

To be honest, the process of healing the poison only took about an hour. Jiang Chen then took another hour to fully give 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 Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans”.

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

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

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 be able to train to the peak level of “Great Wave Method” at an odd thirty.

If not for the restriction of the method, his current training level would definitely not be as simple as a true qi of nine meridians. With Jiang Feng's potential, it was a sure bet 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.

“Young Duke, Your Majesty ..” Jiang Ying is the most concerned about Jiang Feng's well-being. He reprimanded himself quite loudly, and he felt that the duke had been injured because he had not protected him well.

“Dad has sealed 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 bestowed by the heavens. He used this excuse to seal his door, one to mess with the outside world, and two to increase his strength. It kills two birds with one stone.

Qiao Baishi had clearly seen Jiang Chen as an ally. He walked, very worried. “Young duke, how did your father wound up?”

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

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

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

Seeing Qiao Baishi put on a face that yearned for knowledge, Jiang Chen smiled. “I will explain to the third hallmaster 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 knowledge, Jiang Chen was well aware of this.

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

“Jiang Ying, the manor needs increased security in these days. There should be no carelessness in this.

Jiang Fu, deal with the duke's injury matters 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.”

“Ya.” 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 in front of the door of his own home was growing feet, and spreading like wildfire.

Rumors and speculations surfaced instantly as the matter became the talk of the town.

The proud duke of a territory and a provincial king had been ambushed at his own doorstep, and it was said that his injuries were not light – that his life was in peril.

This gave all the other dukes a sudden feeling of danger.

Although they could all guess that the duke of Jiang Han had offended someone he should not have done, resulting in his death, but still, even the duke of a province had experienced attempted murder in the capital. Some dukes even sympathized with one of their own kind.

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

Once a precedent had been set for things like this, no one knew what else might happen afterwards.

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

Inside the palace of Soaring Dragon.

The Duke of Soaring Dragon was holding a private banquet inside his manor and was entertaining his honored guests.

Those who could appear at the very private banquet were all honored guests and companions and confidants of the Duke of Soaring Dragon.

Next to the main seat, next to the edge of Duke Long's chair, sat a man wearing a silver long robe with fey and strange flowers embroidered on it.

This man exuded a ghostly and exotic air. 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 by an elusive strange aura.

“Heh heh, Your Majesty is too polite. Drink!” The exotic man was quite straightforward as he threw his head back and finished his glass.

Grand Courtmaster Wang from Pill King Garden laughed cynically, “Thanks to Master Violet's actions this time. Otherwise, it would have taken quite a bit of effort to kill Jiang Feng without anyone realizing it.”

The exotic man Master Violet laughed faintly, but justly accepted Court Chief Wang's flattery without the slightest hint of humility.

The Duke of Yanmen, Yan Jiuzhuang, chuckled. “Without Jiang Feng, those in the Jiang Han family would be a bunch of headless dragons. That Jiang Chen brat was only sixteen years old, how many insights and abilities might he have? Without Jiang Feng, the Jiang family's business would have a hard time defending 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 ownership of the rank of a duke is in the hands of our own people, this move will be considered complete and perfect.”

“The servant of Jiang Han, Jiang Fu, is very pitiful. He actually came to my Pill King Garden to ask the spirit alchemist to save Jiang Feng. It seemed like the Jiang family was turning to whichever doctor they could find in times of need. ” Court Chief Wang feels that he has vented a bit of his bad humor every time he thinks of this.

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

Court Chief Wang hurriedly responded. “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 his nine meridians true qi.”

“The Jiang family and the Healing Hall have a strong connection, I fear that Hall may be among our destinations.” The Duke of Soaring Dragon was still not calm, as he had never seen Jiang Feng die.

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

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

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

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

“This duke was not someone who burned the bridge after passing through it. Calm down Mr. Violet, when I take the throne in the future, the position of minister of state will be yours without a doubt. 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. ”

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

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

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

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

Who would have thought that this Long Zhaofeng would take this out on the flipside, and point the spearhead at Jiang Feng.

If Jiang Feng died because of this, his impact on the royal family would undoubtedly be greater than that caused by Du Ruhai's trimming. Regardless of how one looked at it, it remained him, Eastern Lu, who had failed.

After all, Jiang Feng was the king of the province 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 on the outskirts, someone who could not get into the inner circle.

“Your Majesty, things don't look so good. The Jiang family had summoned the third hallmaster of the Hall of Healing, but the third hallmaster left not long after arriving. It seems that Jiang Feng's injury wasn't too optimistic.”

Eastern Lu loudly threw his cup to the ground, his tone sinister and cold. “Long Zhaofeng, do you openly set aside all considerations for the royal 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 restored 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 an extremely difficult matter.

This is indeed the case. If Jiang Feng died, they would find it difficult to convince the public that Jiang Chen, at the age of sixteen, should immediately inherit the rank of a duke.

Would the power in the Jiang Han territory ruled by the duke of Jiang Han be subject to a teenager, let alone the officials and courtiers?

The territory of a duke encompassed a vast territory, with many cities possessing many powerful entrenched powers and intertwined with one another. If there were no powerful dukes ruling over them, then this local power would be the first to rebel.

“Your Majesty, no matter what, we must calm Jiang Chen down. Otherwise, if he slackens, it will harm Princess Zhiruo.”'s illness

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

“Tiandu, select some powerful subordinates and send them to Jiang's house. 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 should happen to Jiang Chen. ”

“Subject you understand.” Tiandu nodded.

“Go take Gouyu.” Eastern Lu rubbed his forehead a little, a little tired. At this moment, only his sister 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 the call from Eastern Lu, and immediately rushed back to the palace.

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