53. Politics is also a river and lake

When Jiang Ruyun woke up, he found himself in an ordinary carriage. Beside him lay the painting soul, and on the other side of the car wall sat the Venerable Dian Weiren meditating with his eyes closed, while Jingru sat in the back of the car, staring blankly at the slowly fading mountains and trees behind the car.

Behind the car, there were eight slowly moving mounts, on which sat the remaining demon princes.

The crowd didn't look very happy, and someone put their burden up and yawned.

"Are you awake?" said Jingru. As soon as he finished saying this, Jiang Ruyun's body stiffened, and then he felt a heart-penetrating coldness on his body, but this rapid cooling process was a little different from being attacked, the coolness was on his body, and his movement was blocked, but a wave of heat surged up in the dantian's counterattack, and instantly surged into his heart, breaking through this chill, and he immediately regained his ability to move.

The cold light in Jingru's hand slowly subsided.

"I saw that you were seriously injured, but you recovered very quickly, and when the Venerable Master said that you were fine, I didn't believe it at first. But now it looks like you'll be the first to recover from the worst injuries. ”

"They...... How about it?" Jiang Zhiyun pointed to the painting soul and the Venerable Master.

Jing Ru looked at the painting soul and said: "The painting soul leg is broken, and there is no one who can't get better, and the spiritual power of the Venerable Master is almost exhausted, and now he can't do anything." He spread his hands and said with his body movements, and he couldn't do anything about it. Jingru's magic can only heal some flesh wounds, and he has no way to deal with serious injuries and spiritual power loss.

Without waiting for Jiang Ruyun to ask the rest of the questions, Jing Ru continued: "It was the people of Zhao Wangfu who came to kill us last night. The Venerable Master knew them. After you fell unconscious, the soul painting was broken by the female assassin with palm power, and the spiritual power of the Venerable Master was exhausted, Feng Minghua and Zhuo Bufan didn't have any melee attack tricks, so we arrived in time, if we arrived a little later, they would probably have to be reimbursed. The female Assassin saw that there were many of us, and that the soldiers were not of any use, so she abandoned them and fled with her accomplices. I don't know how your shot went, anyway, the female assassin in the hand doesn't seem to have any sense, and it's useless."

When Jing Ru said this, there was a slight look of admiration in his eyes, and Jiang Ruyun was a little weak-hearted.

"We interrogated the officer who led the army, who was under the command of the governor of the county, and who was ordered by the king of Zhao to ambush us with the two female assassins here. They didn't know what was going on, so we let them all go. Alas, it seems that we will not be able to walk the main road. After a little bit of a summary with us, the Venerable Master gave up the main road, and everyone traveled lightly, each riding a fast horse, and entering Beijing from the small road, so that it might be safer, otherwise, there would be no strong people waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net on the main road ahead!"

"Oh, the path will definitely have a lot less eyes and ears for the enemy. Jiang Ruyun nodded.

"This time I was careless. Dianwei opened his eyes. His face was pale, there was not much blood on his lips, and his former handsomeness was completely gone, and now he looked afraid that he would fall to the ground if he was not careful.

"The children of the demon clan will have infighting, this is inevitable, but this is not a big deal, after all, you are the same age and strength, and it is not so easy for anyone to completely defeat anyone. Along the way, what I was most worried about was that various forces from the imperial court intercepted them halfway. ”

"According to common sense, the mission I accepted was an edict, an imperial order, I originally thought that even if they wanted to make a move, it would be a small action, after all, after the shot, they would be held accountable by the emperor's order, and as soon as the issue of life and death came out, they would not be able to explain it to the saints today. I didn't expect that I still thought it was simple, they didn't come, they directly changed the identity of the killer, and they were masters at first, assassinating at night, so we were in a dangerous situation. This is an error in my miscalculation. ”

"After a bitter battle last night, if we walk in the bright place again, we don't know what kind of opponent we will face in the future, so we can't take the big road anymore, but take the small road, and people will go directly to the place where you are about to study - Xiaoyunling Academy. I've got it all set up over there. As long as you go there, Mr. Xu will keep you safe. ”

"Go directly to Xiaoyunling?" Jiang Zhiyun asked.

He had heard of Xiaoyunling, and the senior brothers compared Wanling Hall to there at every turn, so this name was a lofty place in Jiang Zhiyun's ears.

"Yes. Dian Wei nodded.

"Although there seem to be a lot of hostile forces to us in the capital, Mr. Xu Yuan's cultivation is profound, and he is a figure at the level of a national teacher, and even the saint has to give him some face, so King Zhao and his ilk have nothing to do with him. Dian Wei said.

"Hey, King Zhao,...... I'm going to go to his house one day to take a look!" Jing Ru pulled out another gold medal out of nowhere, held it on his finger and shook it leisurely, but he was gritting his teeth and talking in his mouth.

"No!" Dian Wei immediately said solemnly. "There are many guests in King Zhao's mansion, and there are no less than dozens of killers of this level you saw last night. Even the Holy Lord is currently afraid of him, you don't dare to act on your own! Otherwise, even we won't be able to protect you if something happens!"

"Hey, I'm joking. Jingru gritted his teeth and smiled.

After a pause, he let out a long sigh and said, "The Demon Lords of the Ten Halls in the Demon Domain have been too comfortable for nearly a thousand years, and sometimes comfort and no fighting at all are not necessarily a good thing. For the imperial court, they are content to see that the world and the world are not in dispute with the world on the side of the Demon Domain, so that they will not threaten their rule, and naturally hope that the Demon Lords of the Ten Halls in the Demon Domain will live like this, but they have been dormant for too long, and even the Demon Lords have forgotten the meaning of their original existence, how can you, the heirs of the Demon Lords, understand what dignity and homeland are all about? This is not a good thing for the clan!"

Jiang Ruyun and Jingru suddenly looked confused.

Isn't Dian Wei an envoy of the imperial court? Why is it that what he says now is not like an envoy, but ...... Like someone from another force?

Dianwei looked at it in his eyes, smiled meaningfully, and continued: "I know, you don't understand what I said now, it's not your fault, you will slowly understand these things in the future." What I want to say is that the court may not be able to see anything in your eyes now, but there is a sentence that you need to know, that is, the government is not much different from the rivers and lakes, and you can live and die for the sake of interests in the rivers and lakes, so why not in the court?"

Jiang Ruyun was silent. That night, in the camp in the woods, he said that even the gods couldn't help themselves, so they were in the court, and naturally they needed to fight openly and secretly with all forces.

It's a helpless thing to do.

"That'...... There's a saying I don't know when to ask. Jiang Ruyun looked up and said.

"Since you asked, there is nothing wrong with asking. "Dotted the way.

"Could it be that the Venerable Master and the Imperial Court have brought the Demon Lords of the Demon Domain to Xiaoyunling so that they will not be like the current Demon Lords in the future, and they will only care about their own comfortable lives?"

Dian was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "Have you ever known the Demon Lord?"

Jiang Ruyun was also confused by his rhetorical question, and replied, "No." ”

He replied no, in fact, it is not that he has not understood the Demon Lord, those things in the Demon Lord's daily life, no one in the Demon Domain knows, what Dian Wei said, the meaning must mean that Jiang Ruyun has not understood the Demon Monarchs and is not known to the world, that is, he has not shown his side!

How can it be easy to become a demon lord? How can it be only one?

"Then wait until you get to know them. Dian Wei didn't say anything, and directly abolished this topic.

Jiang Ruyun was immediately stunned. What does that mean? Pick up the conversation and then snuff it out......

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Dianwei was letting him find the answer by himself. With these ten devils by his side, Jiang Ruyun is a demon spirit, everyone is studying in one place, and in three years, isn't it possible to touch one and the other thoroughly?

"What is the 'homeland' that the Venerable Master is talking about?" Jiang Ruyun was a little out of the casserole and asked in the end.

Dian Wei's expression was a little strange, and a little starlight was rarely condensed in his eyes, and he said, "Are you interested in this question?"

Jiang Ruyun thought about it and replied, "Not at the moment. I don't even have magical powers, so how can I be interested?, but I'm actually classified as 'demon spirits' by the demon lords, and it doesn't seem right if I don't know anything about it, so I think I should find out. ”

Dianwei nodded again and said, "Okay, there will be a chance." But the time has not yet come. ”
