"Master, since our army has captured Jialing Pass, why not take this opportunity to capture Donghai County in one fell swoop?" Teng Fang, the Kang Dynasty general who had just surrendered in Jialing Pass, came over with two other generals. After saluting, he asked impatiently.

The three of them had been under Jiang Cheng's command in the past and were no stranger to Jiang Cheng. In addition, Li Mu was also a general under Jiang Cheng's command in the past, so they could let go here.

"I only brought 30,000 troops, and the surrendered troops brought by you and others were only 60,000 troops. It is easy to occupy the East China Sea, but who will defend the huge territory?" Jiang Cheng put down the bamboo paper in his hand and looked at the three of them and said, "For the sake of the present, it is the main task to strengthen the city. If it is not expected, the army of the Dakang Dynasty's conquest will arrive soon."

"I will obey the order." Tengfang and the other two could only nod helplessly. Seeing Jiang Cheng start to look through the copy, he said goodbye and left politely.

"You asked us to come here with you, why don't you bring Senior Sister Bai and Huo Wei together? With them here, you don't have to waste time dealing with these things." After the three of them left, Shen Qingshu looked at Jiang Cheng with some confusion.

"Why are you concerned about these issues? This is not like you." Jiang Cheng leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Shen Qingshu with interest.

"I just don't want you to waste your time on this meaningless thing and waste your practice." Shen Qingshu said indifferently.

"My practice is different from yours. All the ways in the world are my way of practice, which is also a kind of practice." Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Wangjiang City cannot be separated from my control now. Most people cannot suppress it, including you. There are many people in the court who want me to die. Once Wangjiang City is occupied by others, our retreat food route will be cut off. These 60,000 soldiers will be wiped out in an instant. I can go back and become a sinful body. I need Wangjiang City to become the place where our army leaps."

"Will they take care of their family and country's interests in vain?" Shen Qingshu frowned.

"This is politics, it's dirty, you can also call it the Game of Thrones." Jiang Cheng leaned against the back of the chair and smiled:

"Now the Great Kun Dynasty has annexed the Great Kun Dynasty. There will be a battle between the Great Kun Dynasty and the Great Kang Dynasty sooner or later, but the ministers in the court do not want to give me this military merit. Except here, King Zhenhai is in southern Xinjiang and Wujun for many years, and they are waiting for the royal court to come down and make such unparalleled achievements. Many people in the court stand on his side, hoping that he can fight. The emperor hopes that I can make this contribution. In fact, the Yuan family also wants to intervene. However, Yuan Liang just captured the Great Xia Dynasty, and the emperor will not let him come. Therefore, moving to me will not affect the overall situation. If you operate well, you can also use me as bait to attract the main force of the Great Kun Dynasty to facilitate the King Zhenhai to act. Therefore, our best choice at this time is not an offensive, but it is best to put this matter on the table to discuss it. If you delay diplomacy with the Great Kang Dynasty for a year or two, the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty will be almost digested."

"You don't have to tell me this, I don't understand." Shen Qingshu leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"It's because you don't understand that you tell you that people can't ask, and I can't ask." Jiang Cheng picked up the bamboo paper on the table again, shook his head and smiled, "If you don't like it, forget it, actually I don't like it either. If he can succeed, I will withdraw. If he can't succeed, then I will have to go."

Shen Qingshu frowned and looked at Jiang Cheng, not understanding what Jiang Cheng was saying, so he simply closed his eyes and continued to understand the sword.

"Senior brother, drink tea~" Yue Shan put the teacup on Jiang Cheng's table.

"You don't actually have to do these things yourself." Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Shan and said, "No matter how bad it is, you can just let Amu do it."

"It's okay." Yue Shan shook her head and stood aside without saying a word.

"It's up to you, by the way, go and find Wu Li." Jiang Cheng thought about it and added: "Let him come to see me alone, I need him to do some things."

"Yeah." Yue Shan hesitated for a moment and nodded and left.

"I need to avoid it?" Shen Qingshu looked at Jiang Cheng.

"Of course, I'm going to see you alone." Jiang Cheng smiled.

Shen Qingshu didn't say much, and just left with his sword.

Not long after, Wu Li was sent in by Yue Shan, and Jiang Cheng signaled Yue Shan to leave.

"Sir, I'm looking for me, but I want to kill weapons?" Wu Li said with some turbid eyes at Jiang Cheng, and Wu Li said with confusion.

"It's interesting that a master of Jindan realm came to pretend to be a blacksmith in Qi training realm?" Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Li and smiled.

"When did you find out?" Wu Li was not surprised and looked at Jiang Cheng calmly, as if there was no one in this world, and nothing could make his heart turbulent again.

"The first time I met you." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"It seems that sir has a secret, too." Wu Li's muscles twitched upwards, as if he was laughing. Maybe he hadn't smiled for a long time, and this smile looked a bit weird.

"Everyone has his own secret." Jiang Cheng leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Wu Li and said, "I don't know what you have, but based on your cultivation alone, it is not difficult to get a job in the king's capital, at least better than a blacksmith. But you didn't choose this, but deliberately hid your own cultivation. There are only two situations. First, you have enemies. With your Jindan realm's cultivation, if you are outside the king's capital, the Jindan realm is like a bright lamp and is easy to find, but the kings are different. There are countless Jindan cultivators there, and it is difficult to find you."

Looking at Wu Li's expression, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that not. The second one, I have suspected that you were sent by someone else. But for so long, you do nothing except to make irons every day, don't care about anything, and don't even use your own spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings. Just like a real blacksmith, I don't believe that there are people in the world who have no desires and no desires, but after meeting you, I believe it, but the general people who have no desires and no desires are saints, one is a saint, which only exists in legends, and the other is that your heart dies, encounters a major blow, want to die but are afraid, and you don't know what the meaning of survival is when you live."

Wu Li's eyelids trembled, Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a headache: "It seems that he is the second one, can you tell me?"

If it is the first type, Jiang Cheng will find a way to help and take the person to his own use, but if it is the second type, Jiang Cheng will be a little embarrassed. It usually does not work for such people, such as coercion, temptation, favors, etc.

"Wu Li admires the wisdom of his great master, and there is nothing wrong with saying. I was once a branch of the Wu family in Dongjiang County. I had no talent and had no personality. I was rejected by my family and bullied by my peers. I practiced silently by myself. There was a woman I liked, the wife of the head of the Wu family. I knew it was impossible, so I just buried this love in my heart and practiced silently by myself."

Jiang Cheng didn't speak and listened quietly. Many times, people's feelings were uncontrollable.

"Suddenly one day, I found that I had arrived at the Golden Pill as I practiced. There was only one Golden Pill in the Wu family. I was moved at that time, but I quickly suppressed it. I knew that even if I arrived at the Golden Pill, my wife would not be able to follow me because of this. I just continued to practice silently and did not reveal my cultivation. I just wanted to protect him for the rest of my life until one day..."

Blood began to pop out in Wu Li's turbid eyes.

"She is dead? An enemy?" Jiang Cheng frowned and whispered softly. The sound of the shout was filled with a bit of Dao rhyme that shocked the soul, which calmed Wu Li down.

"It's dead, but it's not an enemy, I killed it with my own hands!" Wu Li closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of turbid tears slid from the corners of his eyes.

"Why?" Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Li. It was not difficult to hear from Wu Li's words that his past was not complicated. An honest man who only knows how to practice hard is generally not going to do anything. He was curious about the reason.

"The head of the family suspected that she was unfaithful because the head of the family was in seclusion for many years. The eldest son coveted her and wanted to have sex, but she refused. The eldest son was afraid that he would report it, so he went to the head of the family to expose it first. I became a scapegoat. I was not convinced, not for me, but for her, and confronted the head of the family for the first time, and even took action. It was then that I realized that I had surpassed the head of the family without realizing it."

Then the matter became simple. Wu Li fought with someone for the first time, and he didn't know the importance of it. The head of the Wu family could not fight. In the moment of crisis, the head of the family caught his wife and blocked him. As a result, the wife died, the Wu family was destroyed, and Wu Li's heart was also dead.

Jiang Cheng poured Wu Li a glass of water, got up and walked to the window, looked out the window and frowned, "First of all, this is not your fault."

"I know." Wu Li nodded.

"You don't have to feel too guilty about the Wu family. They want to kill you, and at most you have lost control, but the main responsibility is not you. But the eldest son, he is the cause of the matter, and the head of the family... It seems you understand..." Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Li with a headache. In fact, these are secondary. The most important thing is that the woman died at Wu Li's hands, which is the key to his pain and confusion.

Wu Li did not answer.

"I'll ask, how many years have you been practicing to the current level?" Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Li curiously and said. He had seen Wu Li's roots and bones, but it was not easy for some geniuses to cultivate to this level.

"Four hundred and thirty years." Wu Li looked at Jiang Cheng: "I have been leaving the Wu family for more than three hundred years."

Four hundred and thirty years, the peak of the Golden Pill is not fast. If you can pass this hurdle, you may not be able to enter the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Can you still remember the appearance of that lady?" Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Li and said.

“It’s hard to forget.”

"Remember it!" Jiang Cheng put his hand on Wu Li's eyebrows.

Wu Li felt that the other party's thoughts invaded his mind, but he did not resist. He subconsciously remembered the past of many wives in his mind. Although there were not many, it was enough for him to remember his life. It was something engraved into his bones.

"Okay." Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand and looked at Wu Li and said, "Now I say nothing is useless. Keep doing what you want. It's better not to die. Some things, if you miss them, you will really lose everything. There are ghosts in this world, but there is no underworld. You should know that don't do stupid things."

Wu Li was puzzled, but he didn't ask much. After reluctantly bowing to Jiang Cheng, he retreated silently.
