Chapter 92: The Situation
Su Changnian put down the dishes and chopsticks, helped Jiang Chaoyang wipe his mouth, looked at Mu Yan on the side, and said calmly: "Taking Chaoyang out for a walk, it's always bad for him to be in a nest." ”
Receiving Su Changnian's order, Mu Yan nodded, took Jiang Chaoyang's hand and left.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Zhao Lin hesitated, but still said, "Can I ......?"
"I'm in trouble." Su Changnian saw her intentions and said lightly.
"Thank you." With Su Changnian's permission, Zhao Lin hurriedly thanked him, and then got up and chased after him.
With Zhao Lin leaving, only Su Changnian and Jiang Hexiao were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
"Now there's no one else here, let's get down to business." Su Changnian looked at Jiang Hexiao, who was sitting in a precarious position, and said calmly.
But Jiang Hexiao kept his head down and was silent, which made Su Changnian feel that something was wrong.
"What, what's the problem?" Su Changnian asked.
Jiang Hexiao sighed and sulked, thinking: "Anyway, sooner or later, you have to know, it's better to say it now......" After making up his mind, he took a deep breath and looked like he was really cheering himself up.
Seeing him like this, Su Changnian's doubts in his heart deepened, why was Jiang Hexiao nervous like this just to talk about the war situation, he obviously heard that the war situation between Canglan Country and Cangteng Country was gratifying, Jiang Hexiao shouldn't have a sad face when he talked about it, could it be that the information was fake?
He guessed like this, and his conjecture was quickly confirmed by Jiang Hexiao's words.
"Grandpa...... Missing. Jiang Hexiao said bitterly, his face a little pale.
"Click......"
Suddenly, a cold aura emanated from Su Changnian's body, and the strong pressure that accompanied the aura made Jiang Hexiao feel a little out of breath, and the dishes on the table were all shattered in an instant because he couldn't bear the pressure under his gaze, and the soup and water were scattered all over the ground.
Not only that, but even the sturdy houses began to shake, and many things fell to the ground.
"King Qin, calm down, calm down, grandpa, his soul lamp has not been extinguished, which means that at least for now, his life is not in danger......"
Under the pressure of Su Changnian's powerful aura, Jiang Hexiao's face turned red and hurriedly calmed Su Changnian's emotions.
Hearing that the soul lamp had not been extinguished, Su Changnian tried his best to contain his killing intent, snorted coldly, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Jiang Hexiao, who had just recovered, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I'm afraid that the more people who know, the more troublesome it will be." ”
"The disappearance of the lord of the country on the battlefield is not a trivial matter, and Jiang Qianmu's matter has not been completely dealt with, in order not to cause panic, we can only tell the people false news."
What he said is true, the current Canglan Country, whether inside or outside, is in chaos, although they have caught Jiang Qianmu, but no one can guarantee that Jiang Qianmu has any other tricks that have not been used.
So in this case, it's better not to let ordinary people know too much, otherwise if there are thieves who take the opportunity to make trouble, the scene will be even more difficult to control.
After listening to Jiang Hexiao's explanation, Su Changnian was silent, although he was a little angry, he could also understand, but it was a little difficult to accept the news of Jiang Tianqi's disappearance.
How to say that Jiang Tianqi is also one of the few relatives in his existing world, and he is also a person who treats him well, and now that he is missing, although he is sure that he is not dead, his mood is still very dull.
He just sat and didn't speak, Jiang Hexiao didn't bother him, just sat quietly opposite and looked at the mess all over the ground.
——————
After a long time, Su Changnian finally came back to his senses, but before he could say anything, he stood up.
Jiang Hexiao saw him stand up, and he subconsciously stood up.
"Let's go out first, there is no one to stay here now, I'll call someone to clean up."
Su Changnian glanced at the house full of wolves, put away the enchantment in the house, and then beckoned a maid in, and after instructing her to clean up the place, he took Jiang Hexiao out of the house.
The two walked on the trail, Su Changnian was in front, and Jiang Hexiao was slightly half a step behind.
Su Changnian broke the silence and asked, "Did you tell them about Jiang Qianmu?" ”
"Got it." Jiang Hexiao replied truthfully.
"That'...... Did you say anything about Chaoyang? Su Changnian continued to ask, without any expression on his face.
"I only told the fourth brother."
Su Changnian was slightly stunned, his steps slowed down, and now he and Jiang Hexiao are side by side.
“......”
"What's his reaction?"
Su Changnian didn't have any expression on his face, but he was very uneasy in his heart, he remembered what he said to Jiang Xuyang when he and Jiang Chaoyang got married that day.
At that time, he said that he would not let Jiang Chaoyang be hurt a little more, but now it seems that he has not been able to do it.
"Fourth brother, he ...... Nothing ...... response."
Jiang Hexiao secretly observed Su Changnian's expression as he spoke, but he only saw a cold piece on Su Changnian's handsome face.
"Really......"
His voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he didn't even hear Jiang Hexiao on the side.
The voice was very calm, but his heart was indeed like a stormy wave, he knew that Jiang Xuyang couldn't really have no reaction, but he also believed that Jiang Hexiao didn't lie to him.
The current Jiang Xuyang may have hated him so much, but Jiang Xuyang did not break out at that time, he knew that the moment Jiang Xuyang broke out, it would be the time for the two to meet.
But he won't run away, because this is his responsibility, he didn't protect Jiang Chaoyang, Jiang Xuyang hated him, he also admitted it, and if Jiang Xuyang hated him, he might feel better......
"How's the war going now?" Su Changnian put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, returned to the topic, and began to settle the real battle situation with Jiang Hexiao.
"It's not good." When it comes to the war situation, Jiang Hexiao's brows can't be relaxed, and he always looks worried, it seems that the situation is really not very optimistic.
"At the beginning, we did have the upper hand, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Cangteng Country couldn't stop our millions of male soldiers at all, and soon the army of Cangteng Country was beaten back."
"Everything went well, but then it ...... There were suddenly a bunch of powerhouses in their army, and there were even more than a dozen powerhouses in the Five Visceral Realms. ”
"Their presence was really unexpected by us, so we ended up losing badly."
Speaking of that battle, Jiang Hexiao clenched his fists, his nails pierced deep into his flesh, and the pain constantly stimulated his nerves.
Although he was not at the scene at the time, he could also imagine the scene of corpses everywhere, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood when he thought of those soldiers dying on the battlefield at a young age.
"Do those people have any characteristics?"
Even though he asked, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"Really! A few days ago, the fourth brother and they caught one of the mysterious powerhouses in that group, and they also asked from him about a term 'magic' that I had never heard of. Jiang Hexiao clapped his hands excitedly and replied.
"Magic ......"
Su Changnian muttered and repeated, his fingers kept rubbing his knuckles, and his eyes revealed the light of thought.
He vaguely remembered that he had heard of this 'magic' a long time ago, but he couldn't remember who said it now.
Jiang Hexiao looked at Su Changnian with expectant eyes, he looked at Su Changnian's appearance, as if he knew something, but he didn't seem to remember it very clearly.
So even if he was in a hurry now, he didn't dare to disturb Su Changnian.
After a while, with Su Changnian's sigh, Jiang Hexiao's expectation disappeared.
At this moment, a picture flashed in his mind, and then, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said to Su Changnian: "King Qin, do you have any pen and paper here that can be painted?" ”
Su Changnian was a little puzzled, Jiang Hexiao suddenly asked why is this, now that he is discussing the battle situation, he actually wants to paint.
However, seeing that he was anxious, Su Changnian still said: "There is a study over there, there should be paper and pen in it that can draw, you can ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Hexiao dropped a sentence and asked him to wait here for him, and then ran into the study in the direction of Su Changnian's finger.
Looking at Jiang Hexiao's panicked figure, Su Changnian's heart was full of confusion, he really couldn't figure out what Jiang Hexiao wanted to do, but since Jiang Hexiao had said that he would wait for him here, then he would do it himself.
So, he stood there, waiting for Jiang Hexiao to come back.
It didn't take long to see Jiang Hexiao walking out of the study with a piece of paper in his hands, and he didn't forget to close the door.
"King Qin, look at this, can you remember it."
Jiang Hexiao walked in and put a piece of paper with a drawing in front of him, and Su Changnian looked down under his guidance.
Just when he saw what was drawn on the picture, his vague memory suddenly became clear.
"Pentagram!?" He exclaimed.
That's right, what Jiang Hexiao showed him was the pentagram of the star, although the details were a little different from the ones he saw before, but in general, he could still recognize it.
"King Qin, do you know?"
Obviously, Jiang Hexiao was very surprised that Su Changnian recognized this painting. However, Su Changnian didn't care, just nodded affirmatively.
"Well, I know, but where did you find it?"
He was very curious, how did Jiang Hexiao know about the pentagram.
When he met the assassin before, because the other party's spiritual power was too strong, the pentagram was too dazzling for him to be able to see clearly, but Jiang Xuyang could see clearly because of his natural different pupils, which could be ignored.
There is also the time when Zhang Jingming was killed before, but Jiang Xuyang also told him that only he obtained the information of the pentagram.
In addition to these two, it was the rescue of the Blood Mist Forest, but there were less than ten people involved in that time, and it was impossible for them to tell Jiang Hexiao this.
All three of these cases have been ruled out, and all that remains is ...... He asked from Jiang Qianmu.
Although he had thought of all the possibilities he could think of, Jiang Hexiao's answer was beyond his expectations.
"This is what the fourth brother told me, he said that many of Cangtengjun's helpers will use this, and he also drew a copy for me to bring back, but I didn't bring it with me, so I can only try to draw one from memory."
He looked at the painting in his hand with a satisfied expression.
"When I saw this picture, I remembered, this is called the pentagram, and it will appear when you cast magic." Su Changnian took the drawing in Jiang Hexiao's hand and explained to him.
"And those who use magic are called magicians." Su Changnian continued.
"Magician?"
Obviously, this is an unfamiliar word for Jiang Hexiao.
"But I've never heard of such a name on the Ten Thousand Souls Continent?" Jiang Hexiao asked.
He really hadn't heard of a magician, if he was from a humble background and hadn't seen much of the world, but he was the second prince of Canglan Kingdom.
And Canglan Country is the top three dynasties in the Ten Thousand Souls Continent, so he has been instilled with all kinds of knowledge since he was a child, whether it is cultivation or the humanities and history of the Ten Thousand Spirits Continent, he has to learn, but even so, he has never heard of the title of magician.
Su Changnian didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said lightly: "It's right if you don't know, because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a magician to appear on the Ten Thousand Souls Continent." ”
"Generally speaking, the cultivation method of magic will only appear in another continent that is very far away from the Ten Thousand Spirits Continent."
"Another Continent ......"
Jiang Hexiao was stunned, and then he understood why he couldn't find information about this pentagram no matter how he looked for it before, it turned out that it was because there were no magicians in the Ten Thousand Souls Continent.
"But isn't there a prohibition between the two continents, how did those people come to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent from the other continent?" Jiang Hexiao naturally knew about the existence of another continent, and not only that, but he also knew that there were three continents in this world.
They are the world they live in, the Continent of Spirits, the Demon Continent full of monsters, and the most mysterious, that is, the original residence of this group of magicians - Lance Continent.
Between the Ten Thousand Souls Continent and the Demon Continent, although there is also a prohibition barrier, but compared to the prohibition of the Lance Continent, it is much weaker, and they have already found a way to shuttle between the Ten Thousand Souls Continent and the Demon Continent in the past ten thousand years, but there are some difficulties.
However, it is very difficult to move between the Lance continent, and both sides have not been able to find any way in the past ten thousand years, only occasionally someone from both sides will succeed in reaching the other continent, but they generally can't go back when they come.
Although there are people from the Reims Continent who can come to the Wanling Continent, but from the Reims Continent to the first stop of the Wanling Continent, the Sea Breeze Country, they will quickly hide the people from the Reims Continent, not giving people from other forces the slightest chance to get close.
Although some people objected, the Sea Breeze Country ignored it at all, and the Sea Breeze Country was far away from the big forces like Canglan Country and Cangteng Country, as well as Guyue Sword Village, so it was difficult to call out.
In the end, the matter was gone, and it was gradually forgotten.
And it just so happened that this important point was ignored by Su Changnian and Jiang Hexiao.
