Jiang Yu called Shangguan Yun over, handed him the page of official documents he had read, and asked, "Do you know the above things?"

Shangguan Yun quickly read the page of official documents, and then handed it back, saying, "I've heard a little." ”

"To know is to know. Jiang Yu said angrily, when the case was in trouble, Jiang Yu became more and more annoyed.

Shangguan Yun said: "That's knowing." ”

In fact, on the official document, the content written was a secret report from the Snow Immortal Sect, which was about the old person of Shixingfan, that is, Yuan Ping's people, gathering party henchmen and meeting in private.

"Since you know, why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Yu asked. Shangguan Yun arched his hand and said: "Because the city lord has instructed you, for the people of the Ten Stars, you can open the net." ”

"Just because the net is open does not mean that you can indulge wantonly. Jiang Yu said angrily.

"Yes, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates!" Shangguan Yun said with his head bowed.

"You go and inform Yuan Ping and tell him to come to me within three days. Jiang Yu instructed Shangguan Yun. When Shangguan Yun heard this, he was about to take the order and leave, but suddenly he remembered something, bowed down and said, "Lord City, I still have something to tell you." ”

"Say it. Jiang Yu asked as much as he could ease his mind.

Shangguan Yun said: "My subordinates have noticed recently, the important ministers of Muyun City have often gathered privately recently, and they are planning further things about you, Lord of the City. ”

"Go further?" Jiang Yu looked sideways and looked at Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun said: "Now that you have fifteen cities under your command, it is no longer appropriate to use the name of the city lord, in other continents, you have already been called the emperor, even if you are not the emperor, you have already been called the king." ”

"So they also want to be crowned kings and marquises, right?" Jiang Yu asked lightly. Shangguan Yun was too frightened to speak. Suddenly, I heard Jiang Yu say: "This is also human nature, it's not a big deal." ”

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Shangguan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved.

"Alright, you can step back first. Jiang Yu flicked his sleeves, and Shangguan Yun took the order to retreat. Seeing that Shangguan Yun was gone, Jiang Yu pulled Hongrou over, Hongrou's body was soft, and she sat directly in Jiang Yu's arms, for Hongrou, she was used to this, and when no one was around, it was already common to be intimate with Jiang Yu.

"Rou'er, do you think it's necessary for me to take this step?" Jiang Yu asked Hongrou who was lying in his arms. As far as Hong Rou is concerned, although she also cultivates, she is not a person in the immortal path after all, and is more inclined to the world, she thought about it and said, "The master should take this step." ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "But I, the city lord, are not happy to do anything, if I can find someone to replace me, I can't wait to pass on the throne to him immediately." ”

"But the master is needed here, and the master can't escape. Hongrou said softly, she was devoted to Jiang Yu, and naturally she regarded Jiang Yu as her own heaven wholeheartedly.

Jiang Yu sighed, and Hongrou continued: "The master also said that the city lord is not happy, further, that is, the king, or the emperor, is actually a name difference for the master, and there is not much difference, but for the people below, the meaning is very different." ”

"Can you let them satisfy the pleasure of being a king and a marquis?" Jiang Yu smiled helplessly. Hongrou snuggled and said: "It's not quite, there are too many cities under the master's command now, if the master doesn't go further, simply managed, it is very chaotic, the most direct is above the official rank, it is chaotic, I don't know who is big and who is small, there is something, I don't know who to find to solve, there is a problem, and I don't know who to ask for responsibility......"

Hongrou said a lot in one breath, Jiang Yu listened to her words, touched her hair, and said, "Say it like you, as if I have to go further." ”

"The host was further kind, we were able to meet a bit. Hongrou smiled playfully.

"Do you want to be a queen?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile. When Hongrou heard this, her eyebrows tightened, she shook her head, and said, "That position should be Sister Bing's, as for me, it's good to be by the master's side, it doesn't matter what I do." ”

"Let me think again. Jiang Yu sighed and said.

In the evening, the remnant sun was like blood, Jiang Yu was alone, sitting on the highest attic in Jiangfu, watching the fading sunset, drinking alone. After a few bites, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yu.

Yang Shen!

"Do you want to drink?" Jiang Yu threw a wine bag in his hand to Yang Shen, and after Yang Shen took it, he took a few big sips on his back. Yang Shen has always been elusive, and in the past year, when he came to Jiang Yu, he always came without saying hello, and he left silently. This time, Jiang Yu didn't know in advance. And in this year, Yang Shen was infected by Jiang Yu, and there were subtle changes, just like drinking like this, it was absolutely impossible for Yang Shen in the past, but now he can get used to it.

"Is this wine to congratulate you on your claim to be the king?" Yang Shen asked lightly, his tone was very serious, not like a joke at all.

Jiang Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yang, you also come to make fun of me, you know that I am unwilling." ”

Yang Shen gently shook off the hood on his head, turned his eyes to the sunset, and said: "People live, that's it, there are too many things that can't be let go, there are too many things that are reluctant, but they have to do." But you and I are different from the world, if you want to transcend everything, you have to get rid of the shackles, if you are addicted to it, and you can't extricate yourself, then you will stop there. ”

Hearing Yang Shen's words, Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Brother Yang, after all, you are more free and easy. ”

"The Jiang Yu I knew in the past is also similar to my current one. Yang Shen looked at Jiang Yu and said.

"Maybe. Jiang Yu sighed. He took another big sip of wine.

"I came this time to tell you that I came here for the last time, because I have gone one step further, beyond the existence of Bazhou and Nine Islands, this time, I can be in front of you, if you don't catch up early, you will not be qualified to drink with me in the future." ”

"yes, haha. Jiang Yu smiled, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is it the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens?"

Yang Shen was noncommittal, and said, "Brother Jiang, you have to rely on your own cultivation, I can't help you." ”

"You're right!" Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Yang Shen looked at Jiang Yu and said, "I know that you can't leave immediately, I think there will be a hard fight in the future, I don't have anything to give you, I said that Brother Jiang, you can master the techniques you have seen, then I will use the immortal technique I comprehended in the past to show you." Quan should be my congratulations on your further gift!" Yang Shen spoke, and began to use immortal arts. Yang Shen is different from others, he doesn't need a spell to use immortal arts, it can be said that it is a lingering one. Therefore, even if Jiang Yu watched him use it, he would not be able to learn his immortal art at all, but in order for Jiang Yu to learn it, Yang Shen used immortal magic in the way of ordinary people this time. I saw that after Yang Shen used the immortal technique, his body became transparent, and then changed back after a while, and the change of virtual and real was exactly Yang Shen's special skill, such as the fog fairy body, an immortal technique that can quickly atomize himself and turn into a non-physical state.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!" Jiang Yu's body became like a fog as Jiang Yu spoke.

Seeing Jiang Yu learn so quickly, Yang Shen was also quite surprised, and suddenly said: "Brother Jiang has a lot of entertainment, do you want me to pass on you another doppelganger method......

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was stunned, Yang Shen buttoned his hat and chuckled: "Forget it, I'm not familiar with this trick myself, goodbye, the next time we meet, I hope you won't be thrown too far by me." ”

"Goodbye!" Jiang Yu said this, drank all the wine in the bag, and then fell asleep on the high attic.

The next day Qingming, Yuan Ping, who received the news, had already rushed to Muyun City, and Yuan Ping was a little apprehensive about Jiang Yu's meeting, because the person who summoned him was Shangguan Yun, and everyone knew what Shangguan Yun was doing.

Jiang Yu did not entertain Yuan Ping in the study, but set up a table of banquets under a ginkgo tree in his courtyard. And the guest is only Yuan Ping.

"Brother Yuan, sit casually!" Jiang Yu, who was waiting, greeted after seeing Yuan Ping arrive.

"The subordinates don't dare!" Yuan Ping responded.

Jiang Yu looked at Yuan Ping, smiled, and said, "Do you remember the first time you and I met? You almost ruined my good deeds, Yuan Ping was not like this at that time." ”

When Yuan Ping heard this, he said: "This time and that time. ”

Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "Could it be that it was Yuan Ping at that time, isn't it now?" Sit down and drink!" Jiang Yu said this, what else could Yuan Ping say, so he had to sit down and drink with Jiang Yu.

After drinking three cups, Jiang Yu threw out that question, about going further. Probably explained the matter clearly, and then asked Yuan Ping, "Brother Yuan, do you think I should go this further?"

When Yuan Ping heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "This matter should not have been discussed by me, but if I had to say it, I think this step should have been taken and should have been done a long time ago." Then Yuan Ping said his reasons, most of his reasons are similar to Hongrou, and there are some that Jiang Yu doesn't understand very well, such as the morale of the people, prestige and so on.

After Jiang Yu heard what he said, he asked a few more questions, all of which made Yuan Ping a little puzzled, because the questions Jiang Yu asked were all about the world and how to govern the wasteland, and these questions should not be for him Yuan Ping to think about. Yuan Ping had always been cautious and knew that Jiang Yu would not ask these questions casually, so he also answered very cautiously. Finally, Jiang Yu glanced at Yuan Ping and said, "Brother Yuan, I heard that the old people of Shixingfan have been going to you a lot recently, is there such a thing?"

As soon as he heard Jiang Yu's words, Yuan Ping immediately bowed to the ground and said, "Lord Shengming, there is indeed such a thing. ”

"Oh, what do you say? I'll hear it. You can't just get together and praise me, right?" Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Yuan Ping sweated coldly and said, "The gathering of the old people of the Ten Stars is the fault of his subordinates, and he did not appease them. ”

"Didn't appease them, when did appeasing them become your business?" Jiang Yu asked, Yuan Ping was speechless. Jiang Yu sighed lightly and said, "Let's be straight, even if something happens, I can forgive you from your sins, as for why, you will know later." ”
