Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Jiang Qingyu replied.

Yan Songyu nodded, pushed the door open, walked out of the room, and then sympathetically closed the door for the father and son.

……

After Yan Songyu had left for a long time, someone from the father and son in the room broke the silence first:

"Didn't the father say that he had written a letter to the capital to help the second brother ask for the hereditary position?"

"Why is there another winter hunt to determine the ownership of the son?"

The King of Rejecting Bei laughed happily:

"Oh, my father lied to you."

"I did write such a letter in front of your second mother, but it is believed that I did not send it."

"If I unfortunately fail to take the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in time and die, then someone will send the letter, and you have to obediently go to the capital to get married. If I survive by luck, then this letter will not be counted. "

King Rejecting North reached out and patted Jiang Qingyu's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Actually, among the three sons, my father thinks that you are the most like me. Qing Shu is extremely intelligent, but his wisdom is bound to hurt. Qing Jian shows his sharpness, but it is easy to break just after passing. Only you..."

"Father can't see through."

"When my father was a bandit on the mountain, he also liked to sleep on a woman's lap in the room all day long."

"Later, my subordinates caught a poor fortune-teller. I treated him to a full meal, and he made a fortune-telling for me, saying that I have the fate of Crouching Dragon."

"19 years ago, when Wan'er gave birth to you, I saw that fortune teller again outside the gate of the mansion. This time, I treated him to a good banquet, and he made another fortune teller for you."

"He said that you are the same as being a father, and you are also destined to be a crouching dragon."

The King of Rejecting the North took the imperial decree from Jiang Qingyu's hand, opened it, glanced at it, his eyes froze slightly, and immediately closed it again.

But his face remained calm, and he continued:

"Qingyu, the winter hunt is coming soon, don't say that the father didn't give you a chance."

Chapter 43 My father will teach you a truth today

"Father, we are different."

"I don't sleep on a woman's lap."

Jiang Qingyu retorted softly:

"Also, can you believe what a fortune teller says?"

"You go to the street and find ten fortune tellers, and they can calculate ten different fortunes for you."

Both father and son are Wolong, how can there be such a coincidence?

I think that man is a pure charlatan who only knows the fate of Wolong.

"Why, you don't want to participate in the Winter Hunting Competition?"

"Don't want to be king?"

The King of Rejecting the North put the closed imperial decree in his arms, and took down a famous sword from the wall, stroked it lightly, and couldn't put it down:

"Qingyu, Father remembers that you took an official seal made of jade when you drew lots on the full moon. I thought you were pursuing power."

"after all……"

"That day you grabbed my king's seal!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help but froze.

He has always known the origin of his name, and he also knew that he grabbed an official seal made of jade on the day of the full moon.

But I don't know the official seals of several officials.

No one has ever mentioned this to him, including when his biological mother and eldest brother did not go to the capital before.

I just found out today, it turns out...

What I caught was the Seal of Rejecting the North King?

No wonder even though I have been sleeping in the Ziyan courtyard for more than ten years, ignoring civil and martial arts, and creating a self-defeating idiot, the second brother Jiang Qingjian still has fear of him. The soldiers of the battalion went to their bedrooms to investigate the reality.

"Father, about the position of the son..."

"Actually, I have always thought that the eldest brother is the most suitable candidate."

Jiang Qingyu cited several pieces of evidence:

"The eldest brother is the eldest son, and he has been a hostage in the capital for more than ten years. He bears the burden of humiliation, and his reputation in the three northern states is no worse than that of the second brother."

"Furthermore, he won the first place in the school examination of Jixia Academy last year, and now he is heavily relied on by Crown Prince Jing Yuan. The royal family will feel at ease when he becomes the next King of Rejecting the North."

"As for the second brother..."

"He is good, but his involvement with the Jiang family is too wide and too deep. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no disasters in the future."

The King of Rejecting the North remained silent.

The Jiang family in Yongzhou was indeed a point of concern for him all the time.

"how about you?"

he asked:

"Qingyu, don't you have any idea about the throne?"

"You've worked so hard to build General Drunk and collect news from all over the world, isn't it just to be an idler?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was speechless.

To be honest, he really has no interest in power.

After obtaining the "Yu's Sword Classic", Jiang Qingyu was confident enough to break through the "Great Dream Sutra" to the Yin God Realm within a year, and then the Yin Body would have the strength comparable to the fourth-grade Xiantian Star Reaching Realm.

Innate fourth grade, already beyond the imperial power.

Therefore, even if he is allowed to be the emperor himself, he is too lazy to be the emperor, let alone be the next King of Rejecting the North, guarding the country for the Chu royal family.

"Father, I..."

Jiang Qingyu opened her mouth, but found that what she said was inappropriate.

Because he doesn't want to take responsibility.

So say nothing.

"Qingyu, whether you want to fight or not, your father can tell that you don't want royal power to fall into Jiang's hands."

King Jubei narrowed his eyes slightly, and pulled out the famous sword from its sheath.

In an instant, the sound of the sword was crisp, and the cold light reflected the faces of the father and son.

One is rough and the other is handsome, but those two pairs of similar eyes are equally bright.

"Qingyu, my father will teach you a truth today——"

"Only when you hold an item in your own hands can you be qualified to decide its ownership."

The king of rejecting the North handed over the sword to Jiang Qingyu's hands, and said solemnly:

"Just like the famous sword Shuoyue."

"There are countless people coveting this sword in the world, and my father doesn't like to play with swords, but the famous sword is in my hands, so I can give it to whoever I want, and no one has the right to ask."

"Even if we were given to you, an idiot who is incapable of writing and martial arts, those swordsmen could only scold us behind our backs and dare not snatch us in public."

"Because I refused Northern King Jiang Qiushui to give you this sword!"

King Jubei raised his head slightly, with a proud expression on his face.

He is the second king of different surnames with real power in Chu State. He has three states in the north and 15 elite soldiers.

He has enough qualifications to speak like this.

Jiang Qingyu stared at the famous sword in his hand that had caused several bloody storms in the world before, and murmured in a low voice:

"I... seem to understand a little bit."

Only by grabbing the throne first can he be qualified to decide its ownership.

big deal...

I will be the eldest son for a few years first, and then let my elder brother come back to be the King of Rejecting the North after his cultivation level is comparable to that of the fourth and fifth grades of Xiantian.

At that time, whoever refuses to agree, he will fight until he agrees!

King Rejecting Bei smiled and patted him on the shoulder with a look of relief.

"That's right!"

He planned:

"Now there is only more than a month left before the winter hunting. Qingjian and Qingzhu both have posts in the military department, and each has an elite light cavalry of about a thousand people under their command. If you don't want to lose them, you must have your own direct line force."

"The Jiang family has slowly reached into Bingzhou in the name of Qingjian in the past few years, and most of the military headquarters in Bingzhou clearly support Qingjian."

"As for Yongzhou, it was originally the territory of the Jiang family, needless to say..."

"So, I quietly ordered a thousand cavalry from Youzhou to be dispatched for you."

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:

"Youzhou?"

"Isn't that the territory of the Qiang people?"

More than [-] years ago, King Jubei commanded [-] soldiers and horses. It took three years to take down Youzhou, which was jointly guarded by hundreds of Qiang tribes, and expanded the territory of Chu from eight states to nine states!

After conquering Youzhou, Emperor Jing Hong listened to the suggestion of the King of the North, and did not exterminate the Qiang people, but incorporated them and naturalized them as subjects of the Chu Kingdom.

The few remaining Qiang cavalry also survived.

Most of the people in Youzhou today are still Qiang people, and Ke Tucha, the leader of the Qiang people, even serves as the deputy governor of the Anbei Governor's Mansion, and is highly regarded by the royal family of Chu State.

As for his relationship with Jiang Qiushui, the King of Rejecting the North...

Neither good nor bad.

After all, it was Jiang Qiushui who led the troops to take down Youzhou, and the total number of Qiang people and troops who died because of it was no less than 20. However, thanks to his unremitting efforts, the remaining Qiang people were able to save their lives and not be killed. Killed the clan.

"Qiang people, will they listen to me?"

Jiang Qingyu was deeply suspicious of this.

In the past twenty years, the hatred of hundreds of thousands of lives, how can it be so easy to erase?

King Jubei pointed to the famous sword Shuoyue in Jiang Qingyu's hand:

"It depends on your own ability."

"If my idiot son is unfortunately killed by the Qiang people, it is because he has not lived up to it. Whether the world laughs at him or regrets it, he deserves it."

He glanced at the purple jade stove again, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes:

"However, my father promises to you—"

"If you die at the hands of the Qiang people, this king will summon troops to attack Youzhou again."

"This time, there will be no survivors."

Chapter 44 What if I don't want to marry

While the father and son were chatting alone, the old eunuch Yan Songyu also walked outside the loquat courtyard.

"I want a guest room."

He spoke bluntly to the old housekeeper Xu Erhu.

Although Xu Erhu was the first to see Yan Songyu and lead him into King Jubei's bedroom, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground when he saw Yan Songyu walk out of the room calmly.
