Chapter 347: Five Horse Guests
ut can also turn jealousy into hatred and strengthen itself.He was deliberately misleading Jiang Wang, making him think he saw a chance of victory and make the wrong choice, concentrating his soul ess...In the stone chamber, the dark figure seemed somewhat surprised. It paused for a moment before saying, "So that's how it is...Jiang Wang has already become someone else's pawn."
A voice from within the void said: "Therefore, the more talented he is, the more interesting it becomes. The faster he grows, the greater the danger he poses to Jiang Shu in the future."
The shadow said, "Then from now on, you don't have to worry about him"
“No, there’s still a chance to target him, just don’t actually kill him.” The voice from the void said: “Attacking him is helping him, helping him take it further and win over Jiang Shu’s trust.”
"...I understand." the shadow said.
"That's it for now. Just stay quiet for a while and don't draw attention to yourself." The voice from the hollow said so.
And once again, from the hollow in the stone slab, that mournful wind sighed.

In the stone chamber, silence reigned.
The northern grasslands.
On this grassland, the place where the grass is most lush, the wind and rain are most gentle, and the cattle and sheep are the fattest...

No place surpasses Qionglu Mountain's foot, known as "the Divine Pasture."
The mighty empire that now dominates the entire prairie first emerged from the foot of this very mountain.
Under the guidance of the great Cangtu God, it developed from a small tribe of several hundred people into a Da牧 Empire that could rival the powerful nations of the world.
Archers numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and wherever their horses' hooves fell, all bowed before them.
When the children of the grassland gaze upon Qionglu Mountain, they behold the greatest miracle in the world and find their home in life.
This mountain uses the sky as its roof, with nothing else able to cover it except for the heavens. Therefore, it is called "Qionglu."
It is also it that holds up this expanse of sky, giving the children of the prairie a "home."
The entire prairie's spirit is entrusted to the Cangtu Temple, which is built atop the peak of Qionglu.
For millennia, it has gazed upon the vast grasslands, witnessing the cycle of life and death.
And the highest court of this prairie was the dwelling place of the Empress of MuGuo, where a world treasure, the magnificent "Mirror of Heaven," stood.
This vast freshwater lake, as wide as the sea, lay like a mirror embedded in the boundless prairie.
It is said to be the mirror that the grassland goddess used to look at herself.
In the myths of Mùguó, "The Prairie Goddess" was the first Cangtu divine emissary. She spread the will of the gods, aided humankind, and brought blessings to the prairie.
When the Grassland Goddess returned to the Divine Realm of the Azure Diagram, she left this mirror behind on the grasslands, reflecting the world. As the Heaven's Mirror, the largest lake on the grasslands, it indeed nourished countless cattle and sheep, allowing the children of the grassland to grow strong.

If the grassland is divided into two parts, east and west, Qionglu Mountain is in the center of the western grassland, and Tianjing Mirror is in the center of the eastern grassland.
In the earliest times, the highest royal court was located at the foot of Qionglu Mountain.
With the unification of the grasslands by the Great Shepherd Empire, the Supreme Court also moved continuously until it finally settled near "The Celestial Mirror."
Unlike what outsiders imagine...
Not all people in a nomadic nation sleep on horseback.
Their everyday resting tents, and those used during marches, were also not the same as simple ones.
The tent village stretched out, combining the unique features of different tribes while maintaining an orderly layout.
Different areas, bearing different functions, coexist harmoniously. Compared to pavilions, towers and halls, they possess a unique charm.
Please note that the HTML tags remain unchanged in the output.
This is the most suitable city for a grassland, and even in terms of luxury, the royal court is not inferior to any capital city in the world.
Of course, there are also differences.
>
The supreme court, possessing "divine power," can move as a whole.

The Apex Court, also known as the "City of Eagles".
That is, a city that can fly.
For most countries in the world, migration is a highly politically charged issue and rarely occurs.
The prairie is different. The highest royal court's "migration" happens more frequently. It's only in recent years that it has gradually settled by the Heavenly Mirror.
There are also "traveling merchants" on the prairie.
They usually traveled with five horses, going everywhere. Two were used to carry goods, one carried people, and two took turns resting. Therefore they were also called "Five Horse Travelers".
They are "guests" on the prairie, bringing various goods to herders who graze in different places, and also hoping to receive warm hospitality from their hosts.
This should be simple:```html

At this moment, on the edge of the High King's Court, beside a five-horse carriage nearly sold out of goods, a hooded figure approached.
The scarf pile was incredibly high, almost covering most of her face. But even with just a glimpse every now and then, it was still breathtaking.
The Wu Ma guest's wares on the horse's back were already sparse, with little to choose from.
But the newcomers still picked and chose.
The conversation takes place only between the two parties.
"How is Tiger Bro" the hooded man asked.

Five Horse Guest remarked, "He seems very trusted now. The former Nine River Xuanjia commander died from a relapse of his old injury, and he is most likely the next in line."
“It shouldn't be this way…” The hooded man pondered for a moment before saying, “The death of the previous commander of the Nine Rivers Xuanjia must have something hidden behind it.”
Wuma Ke Dao said, “There must be something strange about this, but I don’t have time to investigate it thoroughly. In any case, Zhuang Ting definitely won’t do anything to him right now, and he may not even want to leave. If I forcibly abduct him, Du Ruhui will certainly catch up.”
“It’s enough that he’s alright, the rest doesn’t matter.” The Hooded Man nodded. “Let things settle for now, we’ll talk about everything at the Yellow River Gathering.”
"To go to the Yellow River's confluence is too risky, I don't agree with it." Wu Ma Ke Dao said.
"Uncle Deng," the hooded man said, "Now that I have news of Third Brother, I must go see him."
The man in the hood speaking, of course, was Zhao Ruocheng.
"Deng Shu," as he was called, naturally refers to Deng Yue, the man known as "One-Finger Breaks the River."

Du Yecho could see through Jiang Wang's current state and realize that there was something wrong with the Fenglin City incident. Jiang Wang could also think that once he became famous throughout the land, Du Yecho would be in danger.
Of course, Zhao Ruzheng, who was even smarter than the two of them, would not have overlooked this.
> After all, human strength has its limits. Even Deng Yue, despite his prowess, could not single-handedly unravel the truth beyond the walls of King Zhuang's palace. He could only inform Zhao Ruocheng of what he had witnessed.
In the imperial court, disguised as a traveling peddler, Deng Yue said: "Since we know he is in Qi and living well, we might as well wait until after the Yellow River meeting to visit him."
"Can you imagine Coming from a small place like Fenglin City, with no background, no lineage, no support...and in the end becoming the number one internal disciple among the younger generation of Qi State, representing Qi State in the Yellow River Assembly. Can you imagine what he went through The fact that he was able to get to this point precisely shows that he didn't have it easy."

Zhao Ruocheng said, "I cannot wait any longer. Not a single moment. If he is able to surpass all others and achieve the greatest glory, he must have some old friends who can witness his brilliance! I will go wearing a mask, just watching... I won't be discovered."
Deng Yue remained silent for a moment. Since entering the desert, Zhao Rucheng had rarely spoken at such length.

This reflects his complex emotions.
"The confluence of the Yellow River..." Deng Yue sighed.
"This time, you mustn't follow me," Zhao Rucheng said. "Just stay on the grassland and find a place to rest. When I've taken a look around and come back, we'll decide what to do next."
On the plains of the Yellow River confluence, there were crowds and a mix of people. The strong gathered here. He mingled with the Mu Guo contingent, protected by Yuwen Tuo, so there should be no problems.
Such a powerful figure as Deng Yue would find it difficult to conceal his identity. Attending the Yellow River gathering would be dangerous instead.
"You're quite the mastermind." Deng Yue looked at him, saying deliberately, "Since Jiang Wang is still alive, are you going to wallow again"
Zhao Rucheng shook his head: "My third brother is a man of two faces. On the outside, he's agreeable and easygoing. He doesn't mind many things and can just laugh them off. But when there's something important to him, he'll definitely pursue it to the end. He won't just let the Fenglin City incident go."

He took out a jade hairpin from his pack.
"There are some things I can't do anything about. But if he wants to do something... I always have to be able to help him."
Handing a few pieces of silver to the five horsemen, he turned and left.all of Jianguo was a foregone conclusion.The first demonic cultivator was in the No Return Valley. This fact wasn't just unknown to Jiang Wang.Neither the upper nor lower levels of the Yong nation kne...
