Fish swimming around the world

After exiting the Lingjiang River and entering the Longjiang River, we went straight down the river for a day before arriving at the Tianmen Gorge again.

Jiang Fan stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the two peaks reaching into the sky like dragon horns, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Isn't it true that the imperial court was not grudged that day?"

The fisherman slowly walked up the front road.

Jiang Fan came back to his senses and knew that in the eyes of others, it was inevitable that he would be vindictive because of Jiang Zhan's targeting. But in fact, his original intention was to take down the Dragon Guard Army.

There are three important reasons. First, relationship secrets. The Dragon Guard Army has always guarded the Dragon Vein Underground Palace, but after experiencing the treasure grabbing incident from all directions, Jiang Fan is no longer so confident about the Dragon Vein, especially since the Dragon Guard Army has been guarding the Dragon Vein underground palace for thousands of years and cannot protect the secrets of entry and exit. And he always has to find a way to take out the secret treasure, unable to escape the supervision of the Dragon Guard Army. Therefore, defense must be in your own hands.

Second, it concerns the struggle for military power. Although the Dragon Guard Army is not large in number, it is indeed a top-notch warrior. Ji Zongyi said that due to the existence of the Jiang family, the imperial court cannot obtain this team, but it must not be left to the Jiang family or the Xia State. And by taking advantage of the opportunity of inheriting the title of Zhenguo Yinxiang, Jiang Fan could justifiably take over the Dragon Guard Army.

Third, attacking Jiang Zhan and losing the dragon-protecting army is equivalent to breaking his arm and directly weakening the Jiang family's strength. This is a physical blow, but it also has a mental blow. Jiang Zhan's failure will inevitably delay the Jiang family's pace of action and weaken the Jiang family. its appeal.

"So, of course it's not impulsive and vindictive." After Jiang Fan explained these reasons, the fisherman stroking his beard and nodded: "So that's it, I can lead troops to fight, but in terms of these twists and turns, I'm really not as good as you. It's just that this protection Long Jun is not easy to get."

"Senior Yu is right." Zhang Zhiling also came out of the cabin.

"The Jiang family has been in charge of the Dragon Guard Army for more than nine hundred years, and their dominance is deeply rooted. This is not in the imperial court where you can take advantage of the situation. This is the Jiang family's territory."

The fisherman nodded: "So, let alone whether the Dragon Guard Army recognizes you as the successor of Dazai, Jiang Zhan alone will make it difficult for you."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Yes, how could Jiang Zhan let me see the Dragon Guard Army easily, but..."

He pointed to a merchant ship floating on the river: "Someone will stop Jiang Zhan for me."

"Oh?" Zhang Zhiling raised his eyes and saw a young man in a green shirt smiling and waving his arms at the bow to say hello.

"Taihua... Gu Qingshan?" Zhang Zhiling also felt a little surprised.

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Jiang Zhan is too arrogant. He is not satisfied with me. He also wants to kill Taihua Xing. Gu Qingshan seems to be acting carefree, but the premise is that you don't harm him, otherwise... this poor person is not He’s easy to talk to.”

"Haha, brother-in-law, don't talk about people's merits behind their backs." As he spoke, Gu Qing's shirt had fallen off the bow of the boat like a big bird.

Jiang Fan snorted: "That's the kind of person you are."

Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "The person who knows me is my brother-in-law. However, I am indirectly helping you, what can I say?"

Jiang Fan looked at him: "I think that old shoe is enough."

Gu Qingshan scratched his head: "It doesn't matter, you are a tough guy anyway, so this trip will be considered as free help."

After that, he went forward to greet Zhang Zhiling and the fisherman.

Zhang Zhiling looked at this young man and admired him very much. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to Taihua Gu Qingshan before, until he discovered that this young man had a quick mind and extraordinary intelligence under his carefree and carefree appearance. Coupled with his outstanding talent, he was really a rare and proud man. , to be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Fan, Zhang Zhiling felt that he would probably choose this kid.

Moreover, he also had a strange feeling that this boy was more down-to-earth than Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan... always made people feel a little unreal and unpredictable, as if there was some kind of detachment from the world.

But the fisherman didn't like this guy very much, especially since he had a brother-in-law. Of course, what the old man is even more annoyed about is Jiang Fan, who is messing around with women everywhere to no end.

Gu Qingshan saw that the fisherman's face was not very good, and he probably understood what was going on, so he smiled and said nothing.

"Mr. Gu, as a Taihua traveler, your status is as good as mine, so there is no need to be more polite." Zhang Zhiling said.

Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "Respect the elderly and the virtuous. The seniors have traveled around the world and are famous in the five countries. Gu should be responsible for the juniors' rites."

Zhang Zhiling said with a smile: "How will Mr. Gu stop Jiang Zhan this time?"

Gu Qingshan looked back at Jiang Fan and said mysteriously: "That's why I asked him for those broken shoes."

Jiang Fan was also a little surprised: "Divination? How do you plan to use it?"

To be honest, he had always been puzzled by Gu Qingshan's clear desire for divination. This guy was not the kind of person who believed in horoscopes. What on earth did he want this thing for?

"One of the important reasons is that Jiang Zhan needs this thing to fulfill Jiang Chen."

Jiang Fan's heart moved: "Why?"

Gu Qingshan said: "Of course because of the entire Jiang family. As we all know, the Jiang family is divided into three branches: the Longmen Jiang family, the Huaiyang Jiang family, and the Luxi Jiang family. Jiang Zhan is only the head of the Longmen Jiang family, but he deliberately supports King Xia When Jiang and Chen compete for hegemony, they must win over the most prosperous Jiang family in Huaiyang. But everyone knows that the ancestor of the Jiang family in Huaiyang is a complete fan of Taizu. He has believed in image divination all his life and is always the first to go out. The old magic stick who can predict good and bad luck with every foot, the best way to get his support is to get Taizu's divination skills."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized: "So... you have already planned to get this to attract Jiang Zhan?"

Gu Qingshan chuckled and said: "Of course there are other uses, but this is indeed the most important role at hand."

Jiang Fan squinted at him: "Why don't you mention Luxi Jiang's?"

Gu Qingshan also squinted at him: "What do you think..."

"I don't know, you say." Jiang Fan glanced at him unhappily.

"Haha, OK, I'll tell you, I'm telling you the truth. The Luxi Jiang family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations, and even the queen and the crown princess are from this lineage. Jiang Zhan has no chance of winning over."

Jiang Fan did not comment: "Well... then what do you plan to do in Huaiyang?"

Gu Qingshan glanced into the distance: "Lure the tiger away from the mountain. I'll take this thing directly to Old Master Jiang and persuade him to oppose Jiang Zhan."

"That can't be done." Jiang Fan looked at him and said, "You know it very well."

"Of course it can't be done. The two major branches are nominally headed by Jiang Zhan and have an extremely close relationship. But Jiang Zhan knows what kind of person this old man is. He will worry about what conditions I can exchange, and he also hopes to snatch divination in exchange for the full support of the Huaiyang Jiang family. So, just let him know the news. I think now, he has probably received it."

"But at this juncture, do you think he will leave?"

"Yes," Gu Qingshan said confidently: "Because the news he got is that I want to use divination to lure out Old Master Jiang and kidnap him!"
