Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 775 Shaobai + Shaoge 12

When Jiang Xinxin arrived in the capital, the first person she discovered was the Imperial Master Qi Tianchen.

When Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin asked about the celestial phenomena before, he figured out that Jiang Xinxin had a deep connection with Taoism, but as they were both from Taoism, he certainly would not easily bring disaster to Taoism, so he concealed this little detail.

It just so happened that Jin Xian, whether intentionally or unintentionally, ignored this detail in front of Emperor Mingde, thus facilitating Qi Tianchen's actions.

Jiang Xinxin's good fortune is no joke. Qi Tianchen noticed her movements almost as soon as she entered Beili. However, he did not have many people he could really use, and Emperor Mingde's supervision of him was even stricter than Emperor Tai'an's. Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to do many things, so he just sent the message to Wangchengshan.

Although Wangchengshan received the news, the only person who was available to handle the matter at that time was Li Fansong. Li Fansong took Feixuan and secretly went to Xueyue City to meet Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi. Xueyue City was crowded with people, and Wangchengshan's influence had never extended there. If something went wrong, Jiang Xinxin's abnormality would be directly exposed to the eyes of the three city lords of Xueyue City, which would surely attract the spying of the Beili royal family. Things would be very unfavorable to both the Taoist sect and Jiang Xinxin.

So the matter came to a standstill there. Wangchengshan did not take any action. Instead, Qi Tianchen, who was far away in Tianqi City, was the first to discover Jiang Xinxin's appearance in Tianqi City.

This time, Jiang Xinxin came to accompany Wuxin to see Yi Wenjun, and then killed Ye Ya and completely destroyed the Xichu medicine man technique. There was nothing Qi Tianchen could help with, so she didn't think of looking for Qi Tianchen.

After waiting for a few days, when Wuxin came out of the palace, Jiang Xinxin saw that he was relaxed and did not ask much, but just asked him to pay more attention to the movements of the Chiwang Mansion and the Baiwang Mansion.

"Among the forces competing for the throne, the most dazzling ones are the Red Palace and the White Palace. There is also the Yong'an Palace, which is in the emperor's heart but is traveling abroad. If we want to pay attention to the Red Palace, we can't just focus on the Red Palace. The person who knows you best is most likely your enemy, so the movements of the White Palace cannot be easily ignored."

Wu Xin nodded and agreed, but then he couldn't help but smiled and asked tentatively: "Master should know Xiao Se's identity, why do you not think highly of Prince Yong'an? You clearly said that Prince Yong'an is the one that Jian likes in the emperor's heart."

Jiang Xinxin shook her head. To be honest, if she hadn't been hostile to the Heavenly Dao, she really would not have pushed Xiao Ruofeng to the throne. After all, Xiao Ruofeng was really not suitable to be the emperor. Even though he seemed to be a much better emperor than Xiao Ruojin, the two were equally bad. Xiao Ruofeng was just a tall guy who was barely chosen from among the short guys.

The current Xiao Chuhe is exactly like the former Xiao Ruofeng, and is even more stubborn and more prone to extremes. If such a person shows any signs of being self-willed, it can easily become a disaster for the country and the people.

"It is said that governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. You have been the leader of the Outer Heaven Sect and are in charge of the thirty-six Outer Heaven Sects. What do you think is the most important thing for an emperor?"

Wu Xin was not completely without any means of controlling his subordinates. Even if he really had no means at the beginning, with his intelligence, he could understand a lot just by watching from the sidelines.

From Hanshui Temple to Yushi Kingdom, and then from Tianwaitian to Tianqi City, I have seen too much along the way. The most obvious feeling is that those scholars keep saying that they serve the country and the people, but the country may be Beili Kingdom, and the people have never included those who work hard in the fields and cannot even support their families.

Wu Xin did not answer Jiang Xinxin's question, but he understood why Jiang Xinxin had never taken Xiao Se seriously.

It is true that Xiao Se has an excellent character and is very intelligent, and in the secular sense he can indeed be considered an excellent choice for the crown prince. But can one become an emperor simply by having an outstanding character and a brilliant mind?

At least in his impression, in Xiao Se's heart, King Langya was more important than the well-being of all the people in the world. To put it bluntly, he did not care about those people who had to work hard all their lives to make a living or even had difficulty making a living.

Therefore, it is very obvious who Jiang Xinxin's favorite candidate is. Among the three forces that have the potential to win the throne, the only one who cares about ordinary people is the blind White King Xiao Chong who seems to have no hope.

Speaking of White King Xiao Chong, although he seems to be only slightly better than Red King, and it is even possible that his virtue is due to the contrast with Red King, his greatest advantage is that he will not be easily constrained by the forces behind him.

The only force he has at his disposal right now is the Angry Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian. He has the support of many officials of relatively low rank in the court, but his shortcoming is also very fatal, that is, he is blind and disabled, and when an emperor ascends the throne, he must be a person without any defects.

Wu Xin asked Jiang Xin Xin: "Does the master intend to cure the eye disease of Bai Wang Xiao Chong?"

Wu Xin didn't know about Prince Bai Xiao Chong's blindness before, but after staying in the palace for a few days, even if he didn't deliberately inquire about certain news, just the occasional remarks from the palace servants were enough for him to infer many things.

The White King Xiao Chong became blind because of Xiao Chuhe. It seemed that someone wanted to assassinate Xiao Chuhe, but the White King Xiao Chong unfortunately became a pawn for Xiao Chuhe and was poisoned instead of Xiao Chuhe. Although the poison was removed later, he has been blind until now because of the poisoning.

Xiao Chong has not given up hope of curing his eyes. Over the years, he has put in ten times or a hundred times more effort than ordinary people. He has even developed a determination that is more than ten times stronger than that of Xiao Chuhe. No wonder Emperor Mingde wants to push him forward to control the Red King Xiao Yu.

Jiang Xinxin nodded, "I intend to use the antidote to make a deal with Bai Wang Xiao Chong. If we have determined the location of Night Crow's hiding place and the location of the drug test, we may need Bai Wang Xiao Chong's help."

A prince actually used living people to experiment with the cruel Western Chu medicine technique, and he did it right under the emperor's nose. Once it was revealed, it would become a scandal comparable to the rebellion of Prince Langya. Emperor Mingde would definitely not allow anyone to convict Xiao Yu of a crime. By then, the only ones who would lose their lives would probably be the people around Xiao Yu and the person who exposed the scandal.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxin had no intention of exposing the matter from the beginning, but made up her mind to cooperate with Bai Wang Xiao Chong. Bai Wang Xiao Chong would definitely not expose Xiao Yu rashly, but keep it in his hand as a handle and use it when the time is right.

Jiang Xinxin was only concerned with dealing with the night crows and the art of destroying the medicine man, and didn't care about anything else. She and the White King Xiao Chong hit it off right away.

However, how to cooperate will certainly require long-term consideration.

After Wuxin left the palace, Jiang Xinxin gave up the small courtyard she had rented and moved to another abandoned house to live quietly. The owner of the house had died long ago, and there was no blood relative to inherit it, so the house was under the jurisdiction of the government, but because the location was not good and the size was a bit awkward, no one cared about it for a while, and it gradually became abandoned.

From then on, Wuxin went out early and came back late to follow the Red King and the White King. After witnessing Xiao Yu's capriciousness and cruelty with his own eyes, the White King was simply a saint. He was upright and kind, but also sharp. He was friendly to his brothers and respectful to his elders. Although he did not necessarily love the people like his own children, he could indeed see the hardships of the common people. Most of the court officials gathered under his command were still willing to serve the people. No wonder Jiang Xinxin was optimistic about him.

So after confirming that Night Crow was hiding in a villa owned by Red King Xiao Yu, not far from Qianjin Terrace and registered under someone else's name, Wu Xin went to White King to reveal his whereabouts.

Prince Bai Xiao Chong kindly invited Wu Xin to sit down and have tea. During the conversation, he did not ask about Wu Xin's name, origin or purpose, and even let Wu Xin look him up and down.

Before leaving, Wu Xin asked, "Is His Royal Highness Bai Wang always so courteous to everyone?"

Bai Wang smiled and said, "Of course not. Although I am not picky, I am not willing to accept everyone. Your martial arts level is not low, and you deliberately left your tracks for me to find, which shows that you came prepared."

Wuxin really likes Bai Wang's personality, no matter he is pretending or it is just his nature, he likes it very much.

"I have a good medicine that can cure His Majesty the White King's eye disease, and I am willing to give His Majesty the White King a chance to become rich and powerful. I just don't know what His Majesty the White King is thinking."

King Bai was so excited that he almost dropped the teacup in his hand. All he cared about was the medicine that Wuxin said could heal his eyes. As for wealth and honor, as long as his eyesight was restored, he would have the opportunity to possess the greatest wealth in the world.
