Chapter 22: The Son of Heaven and the Jiang Family
"The Son of Heaven is seriously ill...... Therefore, this year's sacrifice in these counties of Xuling was advanced for a period of time, in order to pray for the blessing of the Son of Heaven?" Jiang Fan showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this,
"Yes, it's probably for this reason......" Jiang Qingfeng nodded.
Jiang Fan has always been very smart,
Jiang Fan's mother left behind a lot of profound and mysterious ancient books and classics, Jiang Qingfeng couldn't understand them at all, but Jiang Fan easily understood them.
Especially the alchemy talent, just like the shadow in his mind, it's a pity that the Jiang family's strength is limited and can't provide Jiang Fan with a chance to practice, otherwise Jiang Qingfeng believes that Jiang Fan is very likely to have become a noble alchemist......
A fifteen-year-old alchemist is rarely placed in the nearby ten countries......
"It's just that what does it have to do with our Jiang family?" Jiang Fan looked at Jiang Qingfeng with a puzzled expression,
"The Kingdom of Surabaya has been established for more than a hundred years, do you know that this Son of Heaven has conquered the territory and made countless achievements, in addition to being brave and good at fighting, there are also ten generals to assist...... In the end, he won the battle for the throne," Jiang Qingfeng said.
"Of course, the nine generals will be sealed and become princes, and their fame will be shocked, but the last general has no news......" Jiang Fan muttered, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly lost his voice,
"Father means that this warrior is a member of our Jiang family?"
"It's your grandfather......" Jiang Qingfeng's face flashed with a hint of pride and remembrance,
"This generation of the Son of Heaven once promised that as long as he was there, the Jiang family would not perish......" Jiang Qingfeng said slowly.
"I see," Jiang Fan suddenly said,
Since ancient times, there has been a son of heaven and a courtier, and it is still like this in the temple, how can these ordinary families who are far away from the center of power avoid it?
"Son of Heaven, our family is growing, and we are coveted by all forces, especially the Zhang family," Jiang Qingfeng's expression was cold,
"Ten years ago, there was civil strife when the position of the head of the Jiang family was suspended, but now the strength of the Zhang family is similar to ours," Jiang Fan said in a deep voice,
"If it's just the Zhang family, it's ......nothing," Jiang Qingfeng wanted to speak and stopped, "That's it, Your Majesty will inherit the mandate of heaven, and it will be safe......
"Don't run around anymore, the Great Elder will summon you in the next few days......"
Without allowing Jiang Fan to react, Jiang Qingfeng left the room,
Jiang Fan faintly noticed that Jiang Qingfeng was hiding some things,
And the family is bigger than before,
Jiang Qingfeng clearly promised that as long as he won the top five, he would tell Jiang Fan something about his injuries and his mother, but he didn't fulfill it, as if he had forgotten,
After talking to his father, Jiang Fan was thoughtful and confused.
"Why did Grandpa follow His Majesty to fight and contribute to the battle for the throne, and he was the only one among the ten generals who was not given the title?"
"And why has this matter not been passed on in the family, not only me, but also from my peers, only those elders know...... It's not a deliberate concealment that needs to be kept secret, but there is a tacit consensus, and these elders hardly mention it. ”
Jiang Fan's eyes flickered for a while, and he didn't understand it and didn't think about it anymore.
Jiang Fan sat on the desk in the room and took out the pen and ink, copied the map in Xu Ling's storage ring, hid all the marks, and handed the copy map and armor to Xiaohuan,
"I was going to give it to my father just now, but he left in a hurry, Xiaohuan will hand over these two items to him tomorrow,"
"The armor needs to be repaired by a trusted craftsman in my father's organization, and as for this map, let my father send someone to inquire, you have to be low-key and careful......" Jiang Fan came to Xiaohuan's room and said to Xiaohuan,
The Jiang family has a weapon workshop, and it is not a big problem to repair the armor, and as for that map, it takes a lot of manpower to search for it, so as not to leak those important information on the map, so Jiang Fan only copied it again.
"Understood, young master......"
Xiaohuan smiled sweetly and brought Jiang Fan a meal, and after eating, Jiang Fan returned to the room,
"Although the second elder has reined in and does not dare to act recklessly, he can't take it lightly,"
"The Zhang family has repeatedly offended and angered my Jiang family, and they are domineering...... Last time I bumped into Zhang Cheng and wanted to win over the medicine king Sun Si, I can also see that the Zhang family's plot is not small, and it is not easy to deal with ......"
"I failed to assassinate Xu Ling, even if he didn't know that it was my revenge, he would definitely try his best to murder me, and I can't let go of the white-clothed figure who rescued Xu Ling!"
"If the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and really dies, in addition to the Zhang family, there will definitely be many forces that will definitely be involved, with bad intentions, my father just concealed it, it is likely that there is a reason for this......"
Jiang Fan's heart is clear and transparent,
defeated Jiang Hai to win the first place in the family competition, and temporarily stabilized the increasingly fierce contradictions within the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is still facing many difficulties,
He has passed the rite of passage and must contribute to the family for his father.
It takes a lot of strength,
This is also the goal that Jiang Fan has been pursuing.
He does not demand fame and fortune, glory and wealth, what Jiang Fan wants is to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts......
Thinking like this, Jiang Fan entered the cultivation, and the room slowly quieted down.
In the middle of the night, Xiaohuan opened a wooden window in another simple room, opened the curtains, and looked in one direction in a trance.
There was a room brightly lit and swaying, and a thin figure loomed.
"The young master is already the first among the younger generation of the family, as always, he is diligent and hardworking, that day and Jiang Hai battled, Jiang Fan's situation was really very dangerous, but I couldn't help at all, wouldn't it be better if I had the strength......"
A young man's shadow stirred in Xiaohuan's eyes, she raised her arm and stretched out her hand to grab this young shadow, and the wisps of pale white rainbow light in her jade hand lingered and scattered, tumbling and rising, and the temperature dropped suddenly......
For a few days, Jiang Fan didn't go out, and stayed in the room to cultivate.
"Young Master, the Great Elder summoned you in the lobby?"
Jiang Fan nodded,
A few days ago, Jiang Qingfeng asked him to stay in the family and told him about it.
Jiang Fan cleaned up and changed into new clothes, pushed the door out, and strode towards the lobby of Jiang's house.
Great Elder Jiang Zhao sat on the main seat, and a group of young people and girls stood respectfully on both sides of the hall.
As soon as Jiang Fan came in, he immediately caused a commotion,
In the family competition, Jiang Fan defeated Jiang Hai and became the most eye-catching existence among the younger generation of the family.
These Jiang family members of the same age showed awe,
Many girls' eyes were full of affection, and their faces were delicate and blushing, which made Jiang Fan a little unnatural.
"Jiang Fan, you're here," Great Elder Jiang Zhao smiled, showing a kind smile,
Jiang Fan's qualifications and talents are above Jiang Hai, and he will definitely be able to become a Destiny Monk in the future, and the Great Elder's attitude towards Jiang Fan is completely different.
Jiang Fan bowed, swept the group of teenagers and girls, and found that Jiang Zhixuan and Jiang He were also among them.
"I summoned you this time to tell you one thing, in the future, you will be sent to various industries of the family to learn management, according to the previous practice, it should be half a year after the end of the coming-of-age ceremony, but you also know that some forces have coveted our Jiang family for a long time, and your cultivation will be adjusted accordingly, I hope you can get the experience faster and share the ...... for the family."
