Chapter 386 Places You Have Never Been
Yu Shuai drank a bowl of wine quickly, and after Jiang Lin filled it up for him, he smiled and said: "When I first heard about you, you were just an unknown person, and you had to rely on an old man to kneel down and beg to save your life. ”
"It is precisely because I don't want to see anyone kowtow for me anymore that I do my best," Jiang Lin said.
His words seemed to mean something. Yu Shuai didn't answer and only drank the second bowl of wine.
Then came the third bowl, and then began to have border military attachés and people from the garrison coming to toast.
No matter where they are, these frontier army commanders are the ones who attract the most attention, and not even Jiang Lin can cover them up.
After a long time, a group of people became drunk. Yushuai stood up and said: "I am going back too, Jiang Lin, come and see me off."
Jiang Lin knew in his heart that he must have something to say to him, so he followed his words and sent him out.
The two of them moved forward and backward, falling half their height. Yu Shuai did not fly away, but only walked step by step.
Until he stood in the open space near the blacksmith's shop, Yu Shuai looked at several pieces of pig iron that were about to be split and asked: "Did your apprentice chop this?"
"Yes."
"Looking at these marks, it seems that there is some improvement, which is very good." Yu Shuai said.
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander."
Yu Shuai smiled, casually touched the traces on the pig iron, and asked: "You have been here almost three years, right?"
"It's almost there, there are still a few months to go."
"Where is the farthest place? Dachen?"
"Yeah."
"It's quite far away." Yu Shuai said with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Years ago, when I was a general, I accompanied your Majesty to travel to various countries. We have traveled very far, and many frontier troops have Places I’ve never been to.”
As Yu Shuai spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Jiang Lin and asked, "Do you know that every emperor of the Daqian Dynasty must leave the country of Daqian and travel around the world before he is twenty years old?"
"I don't know." Jiang Lin shook his head. No one had ever told him about this kind of royal rule.
"Now that you know, guess why there is this rule." Yu Shuai said.
Jiang Lin said without hesitation: "Only when you go out can you see more and see farther."
Yu Shuai was startled, and then he laughed dumbly: "I forgot that you are far smarter than others, so this problem will naturally not be difficult for you. Yes, only by going out can you see more and see farther."

As he spoke, Yu Shuai's expression became much more serious: "Jiang Lin, I know you don't agree with what His Majesty has done. It's just for self-protection, so why invade other countries? In the final analysis, it's just for the interests of your own dynasty. What's the point? Right? ”
Jiang Lin remained silent. It was difficult for him to answer this question.
But silence in many cases is the answer in itself.
Emperor Shun said so much, Jiang Lin could understand, but disagreed.
From the emperor's point of view, everything may be correct. If he doesn't expand his territory, what kind of emperor can he be?
But from Jiang Lin's personal perspective, the people all over the world suffered terribly and the frontier soldiers suffered heavy casualties, which could have been avoided.
Yu Shuai sighed and said: "You don't agree with Your Majesty because you haven't gone too far. If one day you see what Your Majesty and I saw back then, you will understand why the Great Qian Dynasty started from Emperor Taizu. Keep fighting.”
Jiang Lin raised his head, he was very confused.
Because there was actually a trace of fear in the eyes of this frontier commander who was so aggressive that he could deny face to almost anyone except the emperor.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask: "Yushuai, what exactly did you see back then?"
Yu Shuai looked at him, and after a moment he said: "One day you can go to the place we went to, and you will understand. I am here today just to tell you that what your Majesty did was not wrong."
After a pause, Yu Shuai said again: "No matter whether you are willing to help His Majesty in the future, you must remember the kindness Daqian has given you. You don't have to help, and don't make trouble."
In Yu Shuai's eyes, Jiang Lin saw danger.
He immediately understood that Yu Shuai was warning.
It's okay not to help, just stay away, but if you take the opportunity to mess around and disturb the big event, you will be the enemy of the border army.
This is a bottom line that is neither controversial nor negotiable.
"That's it for now. There's no point in talking anymore. Let's go." Yu Shuai patted Jiang Lin's shoulder, said no more, tapped his toes, and flew away.
Looking at the handsome man's leaving figure, Jiang Lin was filled with doubts and could not explain himself.
He could see that Yu Shuai understood clearly but did not agree with his thoughts, but he still insisted that His Majesty the Emperor did nothing wrong.
The point is that he and the emperor have been to far, far away places, but Jiang Lin has never been there.
Jiang Lin turned around and looked in the direction of Nanjiang.
By far away, does it mean an area further away than Dachen?
What is there... exactly?
The trace of fear in Yu Shuai's eyes made Jiang Lin easily think that the reason why Daqian continued to conquer was because of fear.
Starting from Emperor Taizu, he realized that today's national power cannot resist and must become stronger.
Even if it is ten times stronger, it is not enough, it must be twenty times, fifty times, or hundreds of times stronger!
Today's Daqian is unmatched by the surrounding dynasties. What else can make such a powerful dynasty afraid?
Jiang Lin looked up to the sky. Is he the legendary god?
But he had never heard of a god appearing in the world. The only relevant legend was that the blacksmith master created three magic weapons, and when his body ascended, it attracted all the gods to watch.
Jiang Lin lowered his head and looked at the apprentices who were cleaning up the mess on the ground.
Those apprentices are very happy. Life in the blacksmith camp is becoming more and more comfortable now, and the apprentices can all get their salaries.
They are the bottom of the bottom and don’t need to think about too many things.
But I can't help but think about it. Jiang Lin had the urge to immediately go to the extremely remote place Yu Shuai mentioned to take a look and find out what was there.
But he knew that this impulse meant extreme danger.
A place full of unknowns that can make even frontier commanders fearful. The wisest thing to do is to stay as far away as possible instead of running to join in the fun.
But if you don't go there, you won't be able to understand the reason for Daqian's continuous conquests for more than four hundred years.
For a moment, Jiang Lin was a little confused.
……
The virtual prison road, the world of runes.
Taoist Master Guo Jiuxing stood behind the clouds and mist, staring at the black and white chessboard in front of him.
What was originally only a few twisted lines became more complex, and a large number of farther lines seemed to be affected and began to twist or even break.
He raised his eyes and looked at a tall rune in front of him. He saw the rune flickering and extinguishing, and it seemed difficult to support it.
His eyes returned to the black and white chessboard pattern, and when he pointed, several white light spots rose from the chessboard.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Those eyes contained no emotion at all, like the eyes of a god overlooking the human world, staring at the white light spots for a long time.
Then, he stretched out his right index finger and picked up a black line, connecting these light spots with each other.
In an instant, the entire black and white chessboard was shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
Guo Jiuxing's eyes were constantly flashing with black and white light. Although there were only two colors, they seemed to contain thousands of colors in the world.
After a long time, the shaking of the black and white chessboard stopped, and the distortion of the lines became no longer so intense.
Guo Jiuxing withdrew his hand and stared at the white light spots connected with black lines falling back on the chessboard, blinking his eyes.
He breathed out gently, blowing away some of the clouds in front of him.
"Why can't I see through your past?"
"It seems that something has been overlooked...this variable is elusive."
Directly in front of the clouds and mist, an old man in green came on foot, raised his hands in salute and said: "Master Taoist, after the Xiyi Ten Feathered Archers were seriously injured, the northwest frontier army has made rapid progress. I am afraid they will not be able to hold on for long."
Guo Jiuxing didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, he said: "Maybe the pressure is not high enough."
The old man in green raised his head, seemingly confused.
Guo Jiuxing had no intention of explaining, and raised his hand to point at the flickering rune.
Divine light was injected into it, and the runes flickered endlessly, but it was much brighter than before.
The expression of the old man in green changed slightly and he said: "Tao Master, is this too fast? What if you can't control it..."
Guo Jiuxing cast his eyes, and the old man in green suddenly realized something and quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
"There are too many variables. If we don't mess with it for a while, it will be difficult to sort it out. Let's get down."
When the old man in green heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
He bowed and backed away, then turned and left.
But after leaving Rune World, the old man in green stood in front of the portal, looking at the border troops who had not dispersed outside, with a somewhat solemn expression.
"The backup plan left by the Taoist Master in the past has been used to this extent. What are the variables that the Taoist Master mentioned?"
The old man in green suddenly sighed, thinking in his heart: "I just hope that the Taoist master can suppress this chaos, otherwise, something big will really happen!"
At this time, the frontier army was brave in the northwest frontier. Under the leadership of Commander Hong and Commander Meng, who was armed with chaos arrows, they killed hundreds of thousands of barbarians, forcing the Xiyi archers to retreat.
But if they retreat again, they will return to that huge cliff.
The ten-feathered archer was seriously injured by the Chaos Arrow of the Holy Soldier. Although there was no risk of death, he did not dare to take the lead easily.
Otherwise, with a few more arrows, he would really die.
As for the nine-feather, eight-feather, and even lower-level archers, although there are still many in number, they are still unable to cope with the Daqian army.
Above the million-strong military formation, Commander Hong stood in the void and laughed heartily: "This time, we must kill all these Western archers in one fell swoop to avoid further trouble in the future!"
Meng Shuai also had a smile on his face. He held a bow in one hand and a Chaos Arrow in the other hand, suppressing the Nine-Feathered and Eight-Feathered Divine Archers until they could not lift their heads.
"What Emperor Taizu failed to do back then, if you and I can do it, it can be considered a complete meritorious deed."
"After we go back, we should let Mr. Jiang make more of these holy weapon arrows. They are really good things!" Hong Shuai said happily.
As the two marshals were talking, their expressions suddenly changed.
They simultaneously raised their heads and looked in the direction where the Xiyi archers were evacuating. They saw an astonishing aura rising into the sky like a sharp arrow in the distance, sweeping hundreds of miles in an instant.
The breath blew in front of them, and it was so sharp that it frightened the two frontier commanders who were fearless.
"This is..."
"Beyond the breath of Shiyu!"
