Chapter 45: Departure [End of Volume 1] (1st Update)
Xia Yu didn't expect Xia Jiang to be so happy when he heard the news, so he nodded again and again to confirm, and suddenly had some kind of idea in his heart, maybe he could bring the relationship between the two sides closer.
"That's right......" Xia Yu thought of this, so he immediately swept the mansion and said, "Brother Jiu, are you going to leave the palace, where are you going?"
The people in the mansion are busy packing up their things, and it looks like a moving house.
"Uh...... Go to a new territory, what's the matter, but the third sister should still stay in the palace?......" Xia Jiang glanced around and asked casually, but he still remembered his mother Concubine Qin, and now that his mother's status has been restored, he can have dinner with his father again, and he can occasionally go out for a walk, buy some pet magic weapons or something.
"Stay in the palace?" Xia Yu frowned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "In another ten days at most, of course I will also go to the Imperial Academy to register, which is much stronger than the ordinary noble academy here." ”
"Indeed......"
Then the two chatted harmoniously, Xia Yu faintly saw that Xia Jiang's cultivation not only surpassed the third brother and the fourth brother, but also surpassed the same cultivation of herself, and her heart was even more unbalanced, especially in the face of Xia Jiang's temperament at this moment, which was no longer what it used to be, so that she couldn't find a sense of superiority, and she was suddenly discouraged and had to say goodbye and leave.
After all, cultivation is the most important thing in this world, if both men and women double cultivate, they will generally look for a cultivation object that matches them, whether they are men or women, they will be weak because of their low cultivation, and this Xia Yu originally belonged to a very strong category, when this kind of female cultivator is looking for a cultivation partner, at least the cultivation before double cultivation must not be lower than the other party, so that their hearts will be balanced and satisfied.
Therefore, when she noticed that Xia Jiang's cultivation had surpassed her, her heart was unbalanced, so she immediately had to seize the time to cultivate, and she would catch it back in the shortest possible time at any cost.
Xia Jiang's current mind is still cultivating in addition to moving, and as soon as he saw Xia Yu leave, he immediately began refining and cultivating.
......
"Now that the ninth sister is not around, some of her abilities are really much weaker......"
After a day of cultivation, Xia Jiang stopped to eat, pondering the experience of the day's refining, and obviously felt that the effect of the abilities shared by Xia Yun'er with him had weakened, but he learned from the old man that this was caused by the gap in cultivation between the two cultivators and the cultivation was too shallow, if he also had the same cultivation as the other party now, then there would not be such an obvious sense of distance, even if Xia Yun'er's cultivation was not so high, which was still the same distance in the same palace, it would not lead to the weakening of his new abilities.
Therefore, the more he knew this, the more Xia Jiang could not slack off, and he had to continue to cultivate, improve his cultivation more quickly, and strengthen his bloodline potential, which could be regarded as sparing no effort to prepare for the Imperial Court in January.
Of course, he also has to face dangers on the way.
Reaching the new territory from this palace is equivalent to about half the world's journey in his previous life, and although he has a super strong mount to travel, he can't get there without ten days and a half months. On the way, you have to pass through a wild land and several large rivers under no jurisdiction, especially that wild land, a territory of millions of square kilometers, and it is rumored that I don't know how many cultivators have stopped in it for thousands of years.
After cleaning up the day, people have not rested at night, making final statistics and preparations.
Early the next morning, when Xia Jiang slept comfortably, he found that Yiqiē was ready, considering that the people were too tired, he bought some pills to help them refresh their minds, strengthen their bodies and bones, and they were all more energetic after taking it.
Let everyone load all the qiē on standby, and Xia Jiang went to say goodbye to his mother.
Coming to the "Qinfei Palace", which was the exclusive territory of his mother, Xia Jiang found his mother as he wished, proving that what Xia Yu said was indeed true.
Seeing that Xia Jiang came to say goodbye, Concubine Qin was not surprised, because when Xia Yu came to ask her for peace yesterday, she said a lot of things about Xia Jiang, so that she finally stopped worrying about Xia Jiang's safety, but she couldn't help but sweat for Xia Jiang, knowing that Xia Jiang's cultivation is now soaring, and he has become the object of the brothers' disobedience to competition, and he can't avoid the open and secret battles between the princes.
"Jiang'er, mother, you don't have to worry about it here, my father has publicly promised to restore my freedom, and there is a better treatment than before, but you, pay attention to safety on the way to the new territory, I heard that it is very dangerous there, you need to be careful...... And after arriving in the new territory, we must live in harmony with the local people, although they already belong to our Xia country, but the pain of the death of the country has not healed, and they can no longer be harmed......"
Xia Jiang has not been with his mother for a long time, knowing that his mother must have endless words and thousands of uneasy advices, he listens to them one by one, and no longer goes in and out of the left ear and the right ear like the original owner of this body, and he can also hear that every word of his mother is very crucial, and it is indeed a matter of great caution.
After a warm conversation and laughter, and a thousand advices, and chatting for a while about the love of his children, Xia Jiang said goodbye to his mother, perhaps because of the two lives, and at the moment of turning around, the corners of his eyes were a little moist uncontrollably.
In his previous life, his mother shed a lot of tears for his brother's affairs, but in this life, this noble mother, but she still worries about him and dedicates herself, how can he not be touched.
Standing far away outside the palace, after his mother had returned to the palace, Xia Jiang stood silently for a while, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then got up and returned to his mansion. He didn't know how long it would take to see each other again, the world was too big, how could he expect it when he was outside?
The subordinates had already been ready for a long time, and they had waited for a long time, and when they saw the arrival of their master, they were still in good spirits.
All the household items have been loaded into eight metal carriages, which are all huge, and can accommodate dozens of people except for the cargo area.
Around the eight chariots, there was an escort team arranged for him by his father, with a total of nearly 100 people, most of whom were warriors with high cultivation, and a few were civil officials of various positions who helped him manage his new territory.
Xia Jiang jumped and rode onto his white horse, a horse still empty beside him. Not only people, but also beasts can practice and double cultivate, these two horses have followed him for many years, from the low level of bloodline to the current high level, and the fit is "two", which is a good mount, but with his current financial resources, he can afford to buy a mount with a fit of "six" or "seven", but now he is about to move, he can't abandon them, so he continues to ride them.
In contrast, the horses equipped with those metal carriages are much more powerful, they are all black, with two horns on their heads, called black horns, and each carriage is equipped with four, all of which are high-level mounts with a blood compatibility of "five", which are also equipped for him by his father, and they are also the horses that all princes and princesses will be equipped with when they go to the Imperial Academy.
"Let's go!"
Xia Jiang raised the Demon Devouring Sword in his hand and gave an order.
Suddenly, all the coachmen raised their whips, ready to follow the prince's white horse, and all of them started at once.
But at this moment, I heard a shout not far behind him: "Ah, Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, wait for me!" A little bit like a small ant for a giant carriage ran over quickly.
When this little dot approached soon, Xia Jiang recognized at a glance who it was, it was actually the fifteenth princess.
"Fifteenth sister, you are ......" said that Xia Jiang and he moved to travel, and he didn't pay attention to this little sister at all, and he didn't say goodbye to the other party, and now he can't help but be a little embarrassed when he sees the other party coming.
"Brother Nine, I've decided, I'm going to go to the new territory with you Brother Nine, how about it?" said the fifteenth princess excitedly, showing the other party a bulging package on her back that was almost the size of her alone.
"Uh, Little Ninth Sister, are you here to say goodbye to Brother Ninth and me?" Seeing that the other party seemed a little confused, Xia Jiang hurriedly changed his tone and asked softly.
But the fifteenth princess immediately shook her head very seriously, and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, I really want to be with you, really! You see that all my things have been packed!"
Xia Jiang looked over and found that the thing seemed to be quite heavy, and he didn't know how many things were stuffed inside.
"Little Ninth Sister, promise Brother Jiu, don't mess around this time, in case your father blames him, he will punish your mother again......" Xia Jiang sank his face, he was afraid of the other party, he himself had to be careful along the way, if she made a mistake, he couldn't afford to take responsibility.
But what made him even more speechless was that the fifteenth princess boarded an empty horse beside him in a few big strides, and the huge weight weighed down the horses with a blood fit of "two" were a little unbearable.
"Brother Jiu, my mother has already promised me, and she has already asked her father to talk to her, so people are not messing around!" While speaking, just when Xia Jiang was still frowning and suspicious, she actually slapped the horse's buttocks, and she was about to take the first step, planning to make a first cut.
But no matter how much he slapped his ass, the white horse under him just shook his head, his body just didn't move, and her plan failed immediately.
If Xia Jiang was still the same as before, he really didn't have a problem with this little sister now, but now he saw through the other party's eyes that she didn't seem to be lying, and she did understand her mother, but it was not clear whether her mother could help her get her father's permission.
"Brother Jiu, you are so lazy with this horse, you don't want to leave with this little weight, do you want the ninth sister to buy you a pair of diligent ones?"
Listening to the tone of the other party's voice, as well as the excitement when he ran over just now, Xia Jiang really couldn't bear to drive her back, sighed secretly, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the bag, don't exhaust my Xiaobai's cultivation partner." ”
Fang Cai also said that he wanted to change horses, and when he heard Xia Jiang say this, the fifteenth sister immediately stopped talking, and immediately untied the big bag on her body, and threw the bag over with a smug smile, obviously hearing the other party's meaning.
When the bag was thrown into Xia Jiang's hand, he weighed it and found that there were at least hundreds of catties, and it was difficult for girls to move, but these fifteen sisters actually threw it to him without much effort, indicating that the cultivation was not low, and the bloodline fit was at least above "five".
"Let's go!"
Throwing the bag into the hands of a guard next to the nearest carriage, Xia Jiang immediately urged the "Xiaobai" under him, who was already unwilling to be humiliated by others' words.
