Chapter 2186: Enjoying Myself Today

Tianjing City is truly a magnificent city.Among its citizens, they number in the billions.Among its strong practitioners, they are countless like stars.Jiang Wang stands alone.He, just one person with one sword, faces the world's foremost city.His voice is not loud, but those who should hear it, can all hear it.And those who understand, like Xu San, don't need further explanation.The entire Taixu Mountain World City is populated by people who came from Jing Country, and the personnel are elite soldiers and strong generals, solely to compete with subordinates from other pavilions and strive for Jing Country's interests.If anyone in World City commits a wrong act from now on, Jiang Wang can potentially drag them to Tianjing City and punish them on the street.Then World City will be unable to ever commit wrong again?"Fairness" can achieve this.But the two characters "fairness" will actually reduce Jing Country's interests. Because they have already gained much by relying on "unfairness."No matter how it was achieved, once gained, it won't be seen as "something that can be returned," only as "inherently belonging to us."Especially with Jing Country's vastness, these interests were allocated long ago.Who will be the first to spit out this mouthful?Who is willing?But if Jing Country is unwilling to spit out these interests, Jiang Wang will repeatedly find excuses, repeatedly come to Tianjing City, and repeatedly damage Jing Country's dignity!This person should be killed!But how to kill him?Leaving aside the halo and legend around the name Jiang Wang itself, just considering the identity of a Taixu Cabinet member. The Taixu Alliance was initially formed by the world collectively. Each alliance covenant was witnessed by all parties involved.Jing Country arbitrarily killing Jiang Wang is rashly destroying the alliance and offending more than just one or two families. This isn't giving others a handle; it's giving a handle to the world.Any party that participated in the Taixu Alliance can use this as a sword to stab at the city wall of Tianjing City.Xu San completely saw Jiang Wang's determination and had to admit that this young cabinet member's words were crazy — his position as the Head of the South City Division, one of the five major figures in the Jixing Division of Tianjing City, was indeed not sufficient to make decisions.But he still asked: "Under what circumstances can you be in a better mood and show some flexibility?"He lightly sighed: "Although repairing this street wasn't much effort, you're not short of money. But it affects the normal lives of the common people, which is ultimately not a good thing. I believe you are also unwilling to do this.""Xu San, you are a reasonable person, you evaluate the reason." Jiang Wang said: "Before coming to Tianjing City, this Cabinet member went to Jingtian Prefecture. To maintain the reputation of Jing Country people within the Taixu Illusion, I went to apprehend a petty thief who was committing fraud in the Taixu Illusion. This Cabinet member spoke with good humor and was polite, reporting to the Six Upper True of Jingtian Prefecture and discussing this matter with them. The result was that this Cabinet member was given a closed door, only receiving a bag of Yuan Stones and news that the thief committed suicide out of fear of punishment —""You tell me." Jiang Wang looked at him, his voice very calm: "Did they not do wrong in this matter? Was that not impolite enough? Did they not put this Cabinet member in their eyes?"Xu San was about to deflect: "This matter should be approached from —"Jiang Wang flicked his sleeve, interrupting his tactic: "After the Taixu decision, this Cabinet member was ordered to thoroughly investigate World City. This Cabinet member's patrol today is not just one person's matter. Jiang Wang losing face is a small matter, the Taixu Cabinet not being respected is a big matter! How exceptional is Li Yi, how heroic is Dou Zhao! Chong Xuan Zun is brave and surpasses the three armies, Huang Sheli has reached the pinnacle, Ju Kui is just and upright without bias, Zhong Xuan writes with a straight pen of Spring and Autumn, Cang Ming feels sorrow for the heavens and pities the people, Qin Zhi Zhen is upright and righteous — all the Cabinet members have entrusted me with a great responsibility, can this Cabinet member just throw their faces on the ground and let people trample on them?"He stared straight at Xu San, his eyes seemingly questioning — Xu San, do you dare to throw away Li Yi's face?Xu San felt immense pressure and was silent for a moment: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"Jiang Wang said, pausing on each word: "This Cabinet member wants to meet with the Six Friends of Jingtian, and wants to hear them apologize to this Cabinet member face-to-face. They must pay the price for their rudeness."Having said this so seriously, he lightly smiled: "Go back inside the yamen and drink tea, Xu Si Prime! This Cabinet member said, you cannot make decisions."Having said that, he turned around on his own and walked towards Wang Kun, who was still lying on the ground.Xu San did not have the authority over the Six Friends of Jingtian. But he was again faced with this unsolvable dilemma — a Taixu Cabinet member wants to investigate the Taixu Cabinet's subordinates, how can Jing Country people have any reason to stop him?He looked at Jiang Wang's back and was about to speak, but stopped again, obviously having received some instruction. His expression relaxed, and he raised the bag of Yuan Stones in his hand: "Since that's the case, this portion of Yuan Stones from Cabinet Elder Jiang, I will accept it first! The scenery in Tianjing City is pleasant, I hope Cabinet Elder Jiang has a happy time here!"For Xu San to be able to say these words with the identity of the Head of the South City Division, it must have been a decision made by a high-level Jing Country figure at least at the level of the Jixing Division's overall Head — the dignity of Tianjing City is very important and cannot allow Jiang Wang to "come again and again." But the face of the Six Friends of Jingtian is also very important, and it's impossible to compromise with Jiang Wang. For this, they can choose to let World City return to "fairness."Jiang Wang wants to use the banner of the Taixu Cabinet and cling to World City, so they will spit out some interests to eliminate his reasons. There must always be some respect shown to the initial Taixu Alliance.This was a huge concession. At least in Xu San's view, the higher-ups made a very decisive decision and showed sufficient respect to the Taixu Cabinet. They were willing to spit out the interests they had already swallowed. How many people under heaven can make Jing Country go to this extent?But Jiang Wang was obviously not satisfied.He didn't look back, only saying: "This Cabinet member has come precisely for happiness! The ancient and magnificent Tianjing City, life indulging in the fast wind! Xu Si Prime, you all must have wonderful preparations to make me fully happy today!"Having said that, he grabbed Wang Kun by the hair, lifted him out of the ground pit, and dragged him along like a dead dog, walking with big strides.Every step he dragged, he was trampling on the faces of the Jixing Division cultivators present."Si Prime, where is he going?" Subordinates gathered around, their eyes fierce.Xu San didn't answer, only throwing the bag of Yuan Stones over: "Take it back and record it."He himself leaped up and chased after Jiang Wang: "What a fast wind! Then where does Cabinet Elder Jiang want to go next, what does he want to play, does he need someone like Xu to be a guide? I dare not say for other things, but when it comes to seeking pleasure, someone like Xu can claim first class!""That's good too!" Jiang Wang strode forward: "This Cabinet member is going to catch a very dangerous criminal next, your Jixing Division had better send more people to control the surrounding environment, lest the thief becomes desperate and disturbs the common people, harming my initial intention.""Under Cabinet Elder Jiang's sword, where is there a criminal who can bear the two characters 'dangerous'?" Xu San followed by his side, his words filled with flattery, his voice gentle: "Wang Kun may have done some wrong things before, but having learned this lesson, he will definitely not commit wrong again afterwards. World City's chaos will surely be rectified, and the things that angered you and drew your sword will not happen again... Cabinet Elder Jiang, Jing Country truly has infinite scenery, where do you seek happiness, is it only one way?""Things that happen later, we'll talk about them later." Jiang Wang said: "Things that have already happened, we cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb, we still need to resolve them as soon as possible. So-called untouchable iron rules are all forged with fresh blood, they cannot rely on people's own awareness. Xu Si Prime is a powerful figure in the Jixing Division, checking for illegal activities and fighting evil thieves all year round — do you think so?""Zhong Zhirou died out of fear of crime, Xiao Linzheng was captured in prison, and Wang Kun is in your hands, you have already accounted for this trip. Who would not praise your iron face and impartiality, your fearlessness of power? You have lived up to the Taixu decision, and your clear name can spread throughout the world. In this city, of course, there will be people who are dissatisfied, but there are also some people, like me, who can understand. For things to end here is most appropriate —" Xu San painstakingly advised, then smiled and probed: "Could it be you really want to go catch Chen Suan?"Jiang Wang turned his head to look at him, a smile also on his face: "What do you think?"Xu San no longer smiled, stopping his steps, looking at Jiang Wang's eyes as if looking at a dead person: "Then, I apologize for not being able to escort you further.""Go back!" Jiang Wang continued to walk forward: "You are still very young. The storms and evils of life, don't get involved.""Cabinet Elder Jiang! Consider this a personal advice from someone named Xu —" Xu San stopped in place: "In this life, some regrets will always happen, and we all have to learn to look forward. I know you probably have very complex feelings, but seeking temporary pleasure is meaningless. How many brilliant lives have been ruined by impulse. A fierce wind howling at sea can stir up huge waves, but once the waves rise, when they stop, it is no longer up to you and me. Please believe, neither you nor I are willing to see that scene.""Do you think this is a very huge wave?" Jiang Wang continued to walk without looking back, his voice as unchanged as his steps: "It cannot reach one ten-thousandth of my heart."Chen Suan, the proud son of Penglai Island, in the year 3919 of the Dao Calendar, was the undisputed number one in the Outer Tower among Jing Country's young generation.In that year, the publicly recognized "country proud sons" representing the central great Jing Country were Wan Si Jinghu at the Inner Mansion stage, Chen Suan at the Outer Tower stage, and Zhao Xuan Yang and Chunyu Gui at the God Near stage.Sadly, Wan Si Jinghu, who had the greatest chance of winning the championship, fell into the demon world one morning. To cover up the great purge at the time and suppress the huge turmoil it would cause, Jing Country urgently recalled Li Yi, who shocked the world with a single sword.Chen Suan, who should have appeared, was unable to walk onto the Guanguan Terrace, and in that time when stars shone brightly, he was unable to bloom his own glory. So people often regret — he missed the era. By not showing brilliance at a crucial moment, he also lost the possibility of becoming the protagonist of the era.Now, Chen Suan holds the official position of Left Vice Censor of the Great Jing Empire, and in the Censorate, which is responsible for supervising all officials, he is considered the third-ranking figure.It is not an exaggeration to say he holds "high position and great power."But with Chen Suan's background and talent, and the momentum he had when he first emerged from Penglai Island, relying on the official path to reach only the position of Left Vice Censor now is considered a great slowdown of his steps.And if one wants to trace the root of all this, it must begin with him missing that Huanghe Meeting...It is both time and fate, heroes of the world, who cannot avoid being trapped by time and fate.Chen Suan's mansion is not that easy to find, but the East Tianshi Residence is very conspicuous — it is the most noble family in the East City.Jing Country has a long history, and strong practitioners have emerged from generation to generation, but the position of Tianshi can only be held by outstanding individuals in the Daoist path. The three major holy lands of Daoism and the Jing Country imperial family each produce a representative, and for three thousand nine hundred years, they have stood firm in all directions. How can they deter the world if they are not strong?Jiang Wang said he wanted to find Chen Suan, but he didn't go to the Censorate or Chen Suan's home. Instead, he dragged Wang Kun all the way to the East Tianshi Residence."There is a Penglai Island cultivator, Chen Suan, who disregards the iron rules of Taixu, goes against the interests of the human race, and harms the heart of the world!" Before the Daoist attendant guarding the gate of the Tianshi Residence could speak, Jiang Wang shouted first: "He is a direct disciple of the East Tianshi, yet he does not think of the Tianshi's teachings, and actually hides this matter from the Tianshi — this Cabinet member swears to capture this thief, and must remove the dirt for the Tianshi and clear the name of Penglai Island! You all quickly summon him!""Oh." He threw Wang Kun, whom he was dragging, forward: "This thief seems to have also cultivated on Penglai Island!"Although both cultivated on Penglai Island, Chen Suan and Wang Kun were not familiar with each other; this involved the internal faction problems of Penglai Island. Wang Kun belonged to the imperial faction, while Chen Suan had a stronger Penglai Island brand. They had cooperated in the matter of the blessed land card position, which could be considered "public matter" cooperation.But no matter, given time, they could become intimately close.Now is precisely the time when Jiang Wang needs this pair of Penglai Island senior and junior brothers to be intimately close without any gap.That Daoist attendant was not panicked or flustered, nor did he angrily rebuke and drive them away. Instead, he raised his hand and pushed open the large door of the Tianshi Residence: "Cabinet Elder Jiang, Senior Brother Chen is just inside the residence, he has been waiting for you for a long time!"He didn't even glance at Wang Kun on the ground.Chen Suan was just inside the East Tianshi Residence! This was an unexpected turn of events."Good courage! Having committed such a serious case, he still dares to sit and wait for this Cabinet member. This Cabinet member cannot help but ask — who exactly is backing him?" Jiang Wang lightly brushed the corner of his clothes and proudly stepped into the Tianshi Residence: "Lead the way! Since ancient times, only thieves have avoided the law, how can the law avoid thieves! This Cabinet member will go and meet him, even if it is a dragon pool or a tiger's den, I will not back down!"After walking a few steps, he said again: "Outside, regarding Wang Kun, can't you just have two people carry him? In case he suffers a poisonous hand, how can this Cabinet member avoid responsibility?""You are overthinking." That Daoist attendant couldn't help but respond: "The East Tianshi Residence is absolutely safe.""Then how did Zhong Zhirou die?" Jiang Wang said coldly: "This Cabinet member is very willing to believe in the character of the East Tianshi, but with the lesson of Jingtian Prefecture's previous experience, I dare not gamble with the life of a criminal again!"The Daoist attendant then waved his hand, and two Daoist priests stepped out on their own, lifted Wang Kun, and followed behind them.The East Tianshi Residence covered an extremely wide area, and the paths were winding, with a scene every five steps, possessing an ancient and elegant charm.Jiang Wang didn't speak along the way, following the Daoist attendant to a courtyard — Chen Suan, dressed in a hemp cloth Daoist robe, possessed a certain mountain and abyss quality, sitting alone in a pavilion, setting up a chess game alone.He held a white piece in his hand, thinking bitterly about the chess game."Senior Brother Chen, Cabinet Elder Jiang has arrived." The Daoist attendant greeted in a low voice.Jiang Wang, without any pity, pushed the Daoist attendant aside, stepped into the pavilion, walked to the chess game, and looked down at Chen Suan's furrowed brow from above."Brother Jiang." Chen Suan, although not lifting his head, spoke first: "You have come a long and hard journey! Life's changes are like this, and looking at this chess game, how can the white pieces be saved? Do you have any wonderful moves to teach me?"Chen Suan's chess game had great mystery! It hid potential hooks, implied situations, and the two advances of fate. It seemed like a dead game, yet had infinite changes.But Jiang Wang just casually brushed a few times, mixing the chess game into a mess: "Chen Suan, your matter is exposed!"Chen Suan lifted his head to look at Jiang Wang, stunned for a long while.Jiang Wang continued: "You will have plenty of time to play chess in the Taixu Mountain prison for the rest of your life, you should consider your own situation now."Chen Suan suddenly shook his head and smiled: "It is indeed you!"Jiang Wang didn't smile: "If I were you, I wouldn't be able to laugh.""Then I can't cry either, can I?" Chen Suan still smiled: "You and I both know that my sin responsibility is not my sin responsibility.""This is truly interesting! If it's not yours, is it mine?" Jiang Wang seemed not to understand Chen Suan's hidden meaning, looking left and right: "Did you expect this Cabinet member to come here to find you?"Chen Suan smiled and said: "I have been waiting for you here for the time it takes for one game of chess."Jiang Wang emphasized: "This might not be considered surrender. It cannot reduce your sin responsibility.""You really know how to focus on the key points..." Chen Suan looked at him: "So this is your reason for being willing to walk in and find me? Just afraid that if I walked a few more steps, it could be claimed as surrender?"Jiang Wang didn't respond, but slightly lowered his gaze: "You are sitting, this Cabinet member is standing, this does not conform to the positioning that should exist between us."Chen Suan smiled and stood up: "Please sit, I will stand — does the Cabinet Elder have anything to reprimand?"Jiang Wang actually just sat down, and extended his hand flatly, pressing down: "You sit too.""The Cabinet Elder is too polite." Chen Suan said: "I am a sinner, I will still stand!"Jiang Wang said: "Do you hope this Cabinet member looks up at you?"Chen Suan then sat down again and sighed: "The Cabinet Elder's rules are really many!""You are not used to it?" Jiang Wang asked.Chen Suan thought for a moment, then smiled again: "Actually, I'm very used to it! It makes me realize that I am indeed in Tianjing City!"What kind of rules Tianjing City has, Jiang Wang had no intention of exploring, only raising his eyes to look at this proud son of Jing Country in front of him: "You don't deny the matter of the blessed land card position?"Chen Suan smiled and said: "You shouldn't have come to arrest me without good evidence, right?""Brother Chen. We have met several times, so we are acquaintances, and I will show you the greatest possible patience." Jiang Wang's tone suddenly became very gentle: "I know this matter was not your intention, you are not that idle, and you are not willing to do this. But you are a person of Jing Country, you receive this duty and this salary, you have no choice. Within the interests of a vast empire, there is no room to accommodate personal right and wrong... I promised the Taixu Dao Master impartial enforcement of the law, so I cannot let you go. But I am willing to give you some discretionary leniency within the scope allowed by the rules, do you understand my meaning?"Chen Suan faced him with a smile: "Not too much."Jiang Wang slowly said: "This investigation targeting World City involves many things, not something that one or two people sitting together can chat out all the results. I will give you a little time to go and find the Six Friends of Jingtian and have them come and chat with me. You don't need to say anything else, you only need them to come forward and have an open and sincere public chat with me — this is very simple, right?"Chen Suan withdrew his smile and shook his head: "I will not do anything. The blessed land incident was completely my own idea and has nothing to do with anyone else. Why does the Cabinet Elder repeatedly emphasize my identity as a person of Jing Country? What are you trying to imply? Do you have hostility towards Jing Country?"Jiang Wang lightly nodded: "Good, I understand your meaning."At this moment, his expression didn't change, but his eyes were heavy like a mountain: "Are you going to tie yourself up, or do you want this Cabinet member to do it?"Chen Suan hooked the corner of his mouth: "As an extremely dangerous criminal, I can't just be taken away so simply, can I?""Oh!" Jiang Wang used an unsurprised tone to express surprise: "You want to resist arrest!"Chen Suan just sat across from Jiang Wang, with only a stone table between them.On the stone table was only a set of messy chess pieces.Their distance was so close, yet there was a "far" in a real sense.Even his "resisting arrest" could be seen as a joke.Looking at the Taixu Cabinet Elder who went to Tianjing alone today, to say that there were no waves in his heart is absolutely impossible.They were clearly proud sons of the same generation, all capable of representing overlord countries to fight on the Guanguan Terrace, yet now such a huge gap has emerged. To what should it be attributed?"People often say I am unlucky, say I missed the tide of the era, and use these words to comfort me."Chen Suan sat there calmly, as if chatting: "I cannot be comforted. Because I am unable to think that way.""If I could be like Wan Si Jinghu, and give the country the confidence to win the championship. On the Guanguan Terrace, the Immortal General would not have helped me forfeit. The country forfeited the Outer Tower round precisely because they didn't see complete confidence in me... And Tai Yu Zhenren could have it.""After the Guanguan Terrace, there was the Xingyue Plain battle. After the grassland of the South Tianshi, Le Bei, there was again the Wangting Guanguan. But the dazzling one was always you, Jiang Zhenren. It's not that this era didn't give me opportunities, those opportunities weren't left specifically for a certain person, it's just that I wasn't able to grasp them, I repeatedly missed them.""The tide of the era never avoided me, Chen Suan, and left, it's just that I myself didn't have the ability to cross it alone and stand firm at the head of the tide.""Jiang Zhenren, do you know when you wrote that open letter calling on the world to eliminate Zhang Linchuan, which sentence moved me the most?"He asked himself and answered: "—Fate is so, from no complain!""The weak only complain about fate, the strong grasp life themselves."He faced Jiang Wang on equal footing: "Jiang Zhenren, today you raise the great banner of Taixu and come, as if stirring up a flood. I was born in this world at this time, and I am also involuntary. But you say this time, can I stand firm?"The wind picked up.The wind rolled up his Daoist robe, and Yuan Force surged from all directions, gathering around him.Beneath Chen Suan's feet appeared black and white colors, rotating in a Eight Trigrams, Qian Heaven and Kun Earth, corresponding to the Five Elements. In this instant, the stone table that was far away appeared in the courtyard and rose into the air.The Eight Trigrams beneath his feet rapidly expanded, like a high suspended stone platform.The proud sun in the sky seemed to become a divine wheel above his head.He stood with his feet apart, stepping on the stone platform, his Daoist robe billowing, his eyebrows and eyes dyed with divine light. At this moment, he was like a celestial being!The so-called "heavenly machine" divine ability, the so-called "must obtain a thread of heavenly machine," a thread of heavenly machine should be at this time!He opened his hands, his long hair flying, and smiled sincerely: "Today... I will see the truth of this world!"A proud son of Jing Country was ascending to Dongzhen right in front of them.Gathering wind and clouds, converging dragons and tigers, stroking the great earth, shaking the blue sky.So magnificent!But Jiang Wang just sat there, doing nothing, quietly waiting for everything to happen.Chen Suan seized the opportunity and calculated his actions, using Taixu Cabinet Elder Jiang as a whetstone, under the heavy pressure he brought, to strongly impact Dongzhen — and Jiang Wang himself remained unmoved.Until the sky was clear and the clouds were pure, the East Tianshi Residence became quiet, and Chen Suan thoroughly completed this step, becoming a genuine Zhenren. At the moment of great disaster, he once again verified his exceptional posture in the world!Jiang Wang just stood up from the stone table, just walked out of the pavilion.There was no expression on his face.His eyes were indifferent.His hand was on the sword hilt."One sword."He said: "You have the courage to resist arrest in front of this Cabinet member, giving this Cabinet member a reason to kill you on the spot. This Cabinet member cannot help but praise your courage, and is therefore willing to wait for you to become true!""This Cabinet member will only strike one sword.""Receive it, and I will let you go.""Fail to receive it, and this is your fate."This chapter is 6k, including 2k added for alliance master "in tomorrow after".Thank you to book friend "floating matter clear cloud" for becoming the alliance master of this book!
