I really became a king.

Chapter 383 Meeting
Jiang Yi knew that he could not evade or even perfunctorily answer the questions raised by the old lady of Qiu Batu's family.

There are selfless people in the world who are willing to give up everything for their beliefs and homes, but the wise old lady in front of him is obviously not such a person.

So she raised this question right at the start, and also wanted to make a final effort for Qiu Batu, the only golden family of Korhan.

"Madam, how about you try this tea of ​​mine?"

Jiang Yi picked up the teacup on the table and gestured. He took a sip and put it down. Jiang Xiaotong, who was standing quietly beside him, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup.

In addition to Jiang Xiaotong, there was another person in the room, Dong Chengyang from Wen Zong Mansion.

From the moment Mrs. Qiu Batu came in, she had been looking at Dong Chengyang intentionally or unintentionally, with fear in her eyes, because she couldn't see through the other person's depth at all.

The other person was sitting there, seemingly without any cultivation, just like an ordinary person, but the title of the Fourth Patriarch of the Wenzong family was by no means fictitious.

All she could say was that the other person's cultivation had far surpassed hers, and he had even reached the top of the world.

With one move of awakening, he is able to surpass nature, and he is truly worthy of being called the Fourth Ancestor of the Wenzong school!
The rise of Emperor Wenzong should have been the most significant event since ancient times, enough to shake the world, but due to various reasons, it basically did not cause any waves.

Just like flowers blooming and falling, all forces in the entire wild continent tacitly acknowledged Wen Zong's rise, but treated him in a very cold manner, as if they were indifferent.

But in fact, the eyes of all forces are focused on Wen Zong's Mansion in Western Xinjiang. Although the statement that Wen Zong's holy land is in Western Xinjiang has not been widely publicized, it has been recognized by all forces in the world. This may be the reason why they deliberately deal with the rise of Wen Zong in a cold manner.

"Wenzong Avenue..."

The old lady murmured these four words in her heart, feeling an inexplicable pain in her heart.

The holy land is in Western Xinjiang. Because the fourth ancestor Dong Chengyang lives in the Wen Zong Mansion in Western Xinjiang, tens of thousands of scholars have traveled thousands of miles to the Demon Realm Pass and gathered in the Wen Zong Mansion during this period of time.

These scholars have basically awakened to the great path of literary cultivation, and there are even quite a few powerful men in the upper three realms.

But they are very low-key and basically never leave Wenzong's mansion. So far, few people have seen Wenzong's practice method, which also casts a veil of mystery on Wenzong's practice.

The old lady knew in her heart that in time, even within ten years, a large number of powerful men of literary descent would emerge throughout the Western Frontier.

And the Prince Yi in front of him is a half-mentor of all the literati in the world, and he has a strong appeal among the literary masters. By then, the power under his command will expand rapidly. Right now, this Demon Realm Pass will definitely not be able to accommodate him.

After thinking for a while, the old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip, and couldn't help but praise it out loud: "Good tea!"

"Where does the prince's tea come from?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the old lady will be disappointed. This is a tea tree that I planted myself."

The old lady smiled knowingly. As far as she knew, there was not a single tea tree in the entire Western Frontier Demon Realm Pass. She had also never heard that Prince Yi had tea trees in the Dali Dynasty before, so she subconsciously thought that this was just a casual remark.

Jiang Yi did not explain. He really had a tea tree, but it was not in the Dali Imperial Capital, nor in the Demon Realm Pass, but in his mountain and water martial arts realm.

It is a tea tree found in Yinshan Mountains. Tea leaves hang on the tree all year round. A few taels of tea will mature every few days, and new tea will emerge after picking them.

So Jiang Yi named this tea tree "Four Seasons Tea". This tea tree is located on the peak above Qianyun Lake in the Shanshui Wu Realm, also halfway up the mountain, but unlike the Huagai Treasure Tree, it is not in the Xumi Palace courtyard, but outside the gate of Xumi Palace.

The tea tree is not very tall, less than two meters, and is umbrella-shaped, so you can pick the tea leaves with just a lift of your hand. But the trunk is extremely thick, as thick as two people.

Rooted on the edge of the cliff, it exudes a rich and unique tea fragrance and is also a natural viewing platform. Green Flame and Flying Pig often lie under the tea tree and take a nap.

In addition to the Four Seasons Tea, there are several special tea leaves in the center of the crown of this tea tree. They are white all over and have not yet matured, but they exude an aroma different from the Four Seasons Tea.

In their spare time, Lu Yan and Fei Zhu often looked up at the white tea leaves in a daze. If they were not afraid of being blown away by Jiang Yi again, they would probably lie on the crown of the tea tree and not come down.

Jiang Yi was also full of expectations for these pieces of white tea, wondering what effects they would have when they matured.

However, this "Four Seasons Tea" is already the best tea in the Wild Continent. Besides being mellow and delicious, it can also clear the mind and soothe the spirit.

"As for the Qiu Batu family, I wonder what the old lady plans to do?"

Jiang Yi didn't beat around the bush and changed the subject, but took the initiative to continue the conversation.

The old lady's eyelids drooped, and she smiled bitterly: "What plans can I have? I just hope that the prince can leave a way out for the Qiu Batu family..."

She couldn't see through the young prince in front of her.

She had already heard the three conditions mentioned earlier from her son, which made him even more confused because they seemed somewhat contradictory.

Since it was proposed that the Korhan people only needed to be loyal for ten years, why did they have to make the Qiubatu family withdraw from the political stage? Because there was no need for this.

Unless there is only one possibility, the other party is confident that they can completely control Korhan within ten years, so they eliminate the Qiu Batu family in advance.

But this is too obvious. While saying that Korhan only needs to serve for ten years, he is suppressing Korhan's only golden family. It is no different from covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

But the Prince Yi in front of him did just that, and did it without any concealment.

"Within ten years, no one from the Qiu Batu family is allowed to ride on horseback. After ten years, you can choose a younger generation to serve in the military and rejoin the ranks of the nobility." Jiang Yi said slowly.

The old lady was secretly angry when she heard this. She had been humble enough today, but Prince Yi was getting more and more aggressive. Did he really think that the Qiu Batu family could be so easily controlled?
Jiang Yi picked up the teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip, then looked at the old lady and said calmly: "It seems that the old lady is still immersed in the glory of her ancestors. Believe it or not, as long as I am willing, I can make the Qiu Batu family disappear into thin air at any time..."

"Your Highness, please don't push us too far!" the old lady said angrily.

Jiang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "How can you say that you are going too far? Many Korhan leaders hope that the Qiu Batu family will be completely wiped out... Besides, ten years is not a long time, but the entire Western Xinjiang, including the prairie, will definitely be turned upside down, and there will only be one voice from Prince Yi's Mansion!"

The old lady looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Is the prince so confident?"

“Haha…” Jiang Yi laughed loudly and stood up. “So, you don’t understand, because the overall situation is on my side! Maybe it won’t take ten years…”

The old lady stared at Jiang Yi for a while, then sighed in frustration: "My Qiu Batu family can give up everything, but I hope that the prince can keep his promise..."
