Half a month later, in the warm room of the Northern Prince's Mansion in Luoyan Town.
The crackling charcoal fire dispelled the biting cold.
Su Wantang leaned on the couch. Although her face was still a little pale, her eyes had basically regained their former brilliance.
Jiang Zai came every day these days to infuse spiritual energy into her and the fetus.
At this moment, a maid hurried in to report: "Your Highness, Princess, Supervisor Du and his men have arrived, and they have brought an imperial edict."
"Yes, yes... General Xu mobilized troops without permission and asked you to rush to Yujing to apologize!"
Jiang Zai said calmly, "I understand. You can go down now."
After the maid left, Su Wantang asked, "How do you plan to deal with this?"
"Send a memorial to tell that ungrateful Zhao Zhen that someone is impersonating him and hunting down my wife and children. Tell him to immediately send me more troops and execute the traitors."
Thinking of what happened half a month ago, Jiang Zai felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Back then, when he was heading out to fight in the northern border, Zhao Zhen had held his hand and said to him personally, "If you can pacify the seven states in the northern border and reclaim your homeland, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and rule the world together!"
Now, the demon tribe in the three northern states has just been wiped out, and he has turned his back on his wife and children.
If he had not arranged for the Red Armor Camp to return to the south for rest and recuperation in advance, his wife and children would have been killed by Zhao Zhen long ago.
Su Wantang then asked, "What about Xu Yuanshou? How do you plan to deal with him?"
"I plan to form a 30,000-man Yulin Guard to garrison the area surrounding Luoyan City. The necessary soldiers will be drawn from the Red Armor Camp."
"Xu Yuanshou will be the commander of the Yulin Guard."
"Zhou Yanchen, let him go to the Red Armor Camp as the commander. He will recruit soldiers and expand the team on his own."
"As for Du Zhigui and He Jinzhong..."
"Since they are here to watch us, let them watch us."
Su Wantang frowned slightly. "Then...what about Old Lady Miao, Liu Yuheng, and Jiang Tao? What are you going to do with them?"
This question really stumped Jiang Zai.
Su Wantang had already told him what happened in Yujing City.
He also knew that the fault lay with his mother and the Jiang family.
But no matter how many faults Miao Guilan had, she was still his biological mother, and Jiang Zai really couldn't bear to do anything to her.
What's more, Emperor Tianwu arranged for them to come here just to watch him kill his mother and sister-in-law.
If you really do this, you will definitely be ridiculed by the world.
But if they don't do this, they will definitely make things difficult for Wan Tang and his children, and may even threaten their safety.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How about...house arrest?"
Su Wantang could also understand Jiang Zai's difficulties.
Emperor Tianwu sent the old hag Miao Guilan to disgust her.
She sighed and said, "No need. I'm not feeling well and will be recuperating in the warm room for the time being. Just don't let them get close to here."
When Jiang Lin heard the conversation between his parents, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
My father and mother are not cruel enough. This old hag has never cared about them. What is the point of keeping her?
If it were me, I would have killed her long ago. _Ru~wen^wang* ^Catch the latest^ chapters and sections!
However, when he thought about it carefully, he could understand his mother's actions.
She did this purely to protect herself.
In the current situation, in order to ensure their safe birth, they must choose to endure humiliation and avoid a complete fallout with Emperor Tianwu.
Jiang Zai said with a guilty look on his face: "It is a misfortune for our family. Thank you, Madam, for your understanding!"
Su Wantang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for our Lin'er."
As she spoke, she gently touched her belly, with unspeakable anticipation in her eyes.
Although she went through many hardships, fortunately the danger was over and she could finally wait for the birth of the fetus with peace of mind.
She firmly believed that her child must be the best in the world.
Jiang Zai also reached out and touched Su Wantang's abdomen: "Don't worry, Lin'er, your father will definitely get back what happened to Yujing City for you."
"How dare Zhao Zhen plot against my son? I will overthrow his Tianwu Dynasty!"
Jiang Lin seemed to be able to feel a rough big hand gently stroking his back, giving him a great sense of security.
The only time he saw his father in his previous life was when his father's body was transported back to Yujing City.
At that time, my father, who was originally full of vigor and vitality, had already become haggard and had a head full of white hair.
In order to protect himself, he was willing to be criticized by people all over the world and secretly helped Emperor Tianwu to trample on all major sects and families.
The only items he always kept close to him during his lifetime were two paintings.
One painting was of his mother, and the other was of himself...
Fortunately, in this life, he had already forcibly twisted the gears of fate.
Wait for him to come out smoothly
After I was born, I could talk to my father, hug him, and even fight alongside him...
He will definitely make up for all the regrets of his previous life.
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully persuaded your father to rebel together and completed the mission! ]
[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]
[Reward: Great River Sword Intent (Top-grade sword technique, mastered to the extreme, one can draw upon the sword intent of heaven and earth for their own use. The sword strikes like a long river flowing backwards, unstoppable); Points +1000]
[Congratulations, host. Your current points have met the requirements for upgrading the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. Would you like to spend 3200 points to cultivate to the third level?]
[Congratulations, host. Your current points are sufficient to practice the Great River Sword Intent. Would you like to spend 3000 points on the first move?]
Seeing these two prompts, Jiang Lin immediately opened the property panel.
[Host: Jiang Lin]
[Age: Six months old]
[Cultivation: Ninth Level of Qi Gathering]
[Tao Body: Chaos Holy Body]
[Bloodline: Chaos Bloodline (Purity 1%), Zhenwu Bloodline (Purity 35%), Sky Fox Bloodline (Purity 21%)]
[Kung Fu: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, Second Revolution]
[Martial Arts: Great River Sword Intent (Uncultivated)]
[Magic Powers: Invulnerability to All Laws - Elementary (Short-term immunity to Dharma attacks) Heaven Covering Technique - Elementary (Concealing cultivation and divine secrets)]
[Limited-time magical power: Mother and child are one body (can sense the mother's state, use the mother's magical power to feed back a hundred times their own spiritual power to the mother, disappear after birth)]
[Items: Chaos Divine Tree (contains endless life force, can quickly repair injuries, and draw blood from others to nourish one's own bloodline); Primordial Flask (condenses one drop of Primordial Fluid daily, currently condensed 23 drops)]
[Points: 5200 (can be used to redeem items or improve skill proficiency)]
Seeing that his points were only 5200, Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment.
In other words, he can only choose between the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and the Great River Sword Intent.
In fact, considering his own situation, choosing to upgrade the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is definitely the safest option.
Because he did not inherit his mother's sword immortal bloodline.
In my previous life, I was not a swordsman and did not have much knowledge of swordsmanship.
However, based on his understanding of the limited-time magical power [Mother and Child in One Body] during this period, if he chooses to practice the Great River Sword Intent, his mother will definitely gain considerable insights and improvements from it.
If I wait until I am born before practicing this technique, it will have no effect at all.
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Lin decided to practice the Dahe Sword Technique.
After all, what he will face in the future is not only the Tianwu Dynasty and the demon clan in the north, but also the Donghuang Imperial Clan above his head.
In order to enable my father and mother to protect themselves, I must plan ahead.
Although doing so may involve great risks.
However, he still had 23 drops of essence liquid.
Saving my life and my mother's life shouldn't be a problem.
"System, practice the Great River Sword Intent immediately!" Jiang Lin was determined.
[Confirm the command, consume 3000 points, and practice the first move of the Great River Sword Intention, "Long River Leading"!]
