Chapter 6283: Heading to the Great Tang

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He looked at Jiang Shang.

The corpse of the long princess was still on the ground.

He didn’t spare it a glance.

At this moment, Yu Wencheng’s expression was very complicated. He stared at Jiang Shang for a long time before speaking:

“Your Majesty!”

“The assassin you mentioned, could it be me?” Jiang Shang looked at Yu Wencheng, who was kneeling on one knee. She knew the great situation of the Jiang Kingdom had long vanished.

It was evident from today’s plan.

Even the prime minister had betrayed her.

It should be known that it was the prime minister who personally appointed the defense against the invading army of Yue in Langshan County.

Now even her close confidant, “Li Mi,” was dead.

She had truly become a solitary ruler.

This Jiang Kingdom had nothing left to hold onto.

Yu Wencheng, kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang.

“It must be my poor eyesight!”

His eyesight failed him, but Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang’s eyes were fine.

Outside the hall, thousands of elite imperial guards had gathered. With just one order, under the pretense of capturing an assassin, they could flatten this hall.

This was outright rebellion.

Originally, Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang were prepared to fight their way out, but after hearing this, they paused.

Jiang Shang did the same.

She had been an emperor for several years, and it was impossible for her to be completely ignorant.

She had previously glimpsed the prime minister’s wolfish ambition but couldn’t suppress it.

Initially, Li Mi helped her, but now Li Mi was dead, and the prime minister had taken complete control, directly forcing the palace.

Yet, at this moment, Yu Wencheng unexpectedly held back.

He actually turned and walked away.

Jiang Shang was somewhat surprised but said nothing.

At the threshold, Yu Wencheng paused again, speaking indifferently, “The wind is strong tonight; Your Majesty should be careful!”

With that, he walked out of the hall.

The imperial guards withdrew as well.

Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Shang sat wearily on the dragon throne, ultimately unable to protect the great enterprise of the Jiang Kingdom.

Such a decisive departure pleased Jian Wushuang.

If they stayed in Jiang Kingdom, it would not be conducive to their cultivation.

Jiang Shang leaving voluntarily was undoubtedly for the best.

“Wait a moment!” Jian Wushuang licked his lips and walked toward the transformed bloodied flower demon.

Beneath the opponent’s red clothes was a dark green token.

A string of ancient characters was inscribed on it, and upon seeing the words, Jian Wushuang’s brow furrowed.

At this time, Xiang Yang leaned in and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just an ancient token. We should go first!” Jian Wushuang pocketed the token, looked up at Jiang Shang, and asked, “Where are we going?”

“The Eastern Land, Great Tang!” Jiang Shang’s eyes were filled with longing.

Jian Wushuang had once told her that the place where the Wanliu Totem was discovered was in the East Sea.

Before her mother left, she also mentioned the Eastern Land.

She had been thinking about when to visit the Eastern Land of Great Tang.

Whether for her own cultivation or to search for her mother.

She had to go.

Hearing the destination, Jian Wushuang was delighted, nodding quickly, “Alright, I’ll go prepare!”

To head to Great Tang, they naturally needed to travel by ship.

They couldn’t fly through the air yet.

Jiang Shang raised her hand, resolutely saying, “No need to prepare; let’s go together!”

She had made up her mind to abandon the Jiang Kingdom.

Or rather, the Jiang Kingdom had abandoned her.

At the same time, within the palace.

The Prime Minister, Yu Wen Du, personally reported that the army in the city had already cleansed all dissenters and had come to the palace to meet with him.

“Cheng’er, have you captured the young emperor?”

Yu Wencheng knelt on one knee and said without reservation, “I am a minister of His Majesty, how could I have treasonous intentions?”

“Eh?” Yu Wen Du was immediately furious upon hearing these words and said, “Do you know what you are saying?”

He knew that ever since he discovered Jiang Shang was a woman, his son had been infatuated with her.

He never expected this infatuation to hinder his grand plan.

After snorting coldly in frustration, Yu Wen Du personally led the soldiers to the harem.

However, by this time, Jiang Shang and Jian Wushuang had already left the royal city.

They headed eastward.

Following the canal, they traveled all the way to Shajiakou.

After several days of traveling, they arrived at Shajiakou, where the treasure ship to the sea was ready.

Standing at the bow, Jian Wushuang did not disembark to bid farewell.

He only wrote two letters, which he handed over to Wang Lun and Iron-faced Liangchen.

In these few days, the entire Jiang Kingdom had descended into chaos.

The royal city experienced a sudden shift overnight.

Prime Minister Yu Wen Du had someone impersonate Jiang Shang, then remotely controlled the entire court.

Unfortunately, the Wolf Mountain County was no longer able to hold.

Little Liang Wang had defeated the army of Wolf Mountain County.

Now, only the Coastal Guards remained on the right flank, but they were not moving.

This was because they had received news from Jian Wushuang.

There was no need to resist any longer.

Although he was leaving, he would not harm those people.

It would be best if they could find a good future, but even if not, retreating to Coastal County and relying on the canal would not make life too difficult.

After taking care of these matters.

Jian Wushuang personally steered the treasure ship with Jiang Shang and Xiang Yang, heading out to sea.

Their steps had already surpassed the mundane world behind them.

They had one foot in the world of cultivation.

Months later.

On the deep blue sea, a treasure ship ten zhang high was sailing slowly.

Originally, there were only three people on the treasure ship, but now there were over a hundred crew members.

They worked in an orderly manner, taking advantage of the good weather to clean the deck.

Some were cooking, fishing, and sailing below the deck.

However, Jian Wushuang and the other two hadn’t been on the deck for a month.

At this moment, on the deck, a middle-aged man with one ear was directing a few new crew members to clean the deck.

“Move faster! Don’t think I saved you out of the goodness of my heart. Let me tell you, until the ship docks, your lives are mine. Do what I tell you, and don’t argue with me!”

This man was One Ear. He wore a cool vest, sat on a high platform on the deck, leisurely sipping tea, watching the crew work below.

Originally, before going to sea, Jian Wushuang had not intended to take One Ear along.

However, this guy insisted on coming along.

He thought Jian Wushuang was fleeing, but that was not the case.

After a month at sea, he realized the ship barely had enough food, and there were no treasures. Only then did he realize he had followed the wrong person.

And Jian Wushuang and the other two had gone into seclusion.

Being a mortal, he still needed to eat.

He also had to steer the ship.

After eating fish for a month, he finally saw a small island, where he went to procure fresh water and food, and recruited a group of crew members, stabilizing the situation.

Later, he rescued a group of shipwrecked sailors at sea, and life gradually improved.

He even started to enjoy this lifestyle.

Just as he was feeling comfortable, a sailor on the deck suddenly dropped his rag, pointed at the sea, and said, “Look! We’ve reached the Great Tang!”

Splash!

One Ear put down his teacup and stood up.

In the distance across the sea, a continuous coastline had already appeared in front of them.

There lay the Great Tang.

One Ear was momentarily dazed, then immediately rushed from the deck to the cabin.

Earlier, Jian Wushuang had instructed him to remind the three of them as soon as they reached the Great Tang.

Bursting into the cabin, One Ear arrived at the bottommost level with three hidden rooms and banged on the door.

“Masters, we’ve reached the Great Tang!”
