Jiang Tài Píng kowtowed deeply head thunking against the ground causing Liu Tián Qǔ to wince, and bend down to pull him up. "I have learned much from Young Master Liu. Our age difference is very big, and I am much older than Young Master Liu. Somehow I still feel as if you're the teacher, and I am the student. I thank Young Master Liu for your words of wisdom. Never again will I offer my life so easily to anyone. From now on, I will do my best to find another way of showing my gratitude and preserve my life for my family." Jiang Tài Píng said feeling so much gratitude towards Liu Tián Qǔ he didn't think he could repay it all in one lifetime.
Just as Jiang Tài Píng finished speaking, Butler Zhou and Housekeeper Gao arrived. Just by the look in their eyes, Liu Tián Qǔ knew they witnessed the exchange between her and Jiang Tài Píng. However, she acted as if She was ignorant of their knowledge of the exchange between her and Jiang Tài Píng. "Butler Zhou and Housekeeper Gao, you have arrived." Liu Tián Qǔ said in greetings
"Yes, I see Young Master and Commander Jiang is here as well. Have you been able to find out anything?" Butler Zhou asked.
"No, Commander Jiang and I went out, but we were told by a patrolling Warrior to return to the residence, so we are still unaware of what is going on. However, I suspect that it has something to do with Veiled Mountain." Liu Tián Qǔ explained.
Commander Jiang looked over to Liu Tián Qǔ, "What is this about Veiled Mountain and sending Wang Fèn Yǒng to warn the Emperor that I heard you mention earlier?"
More servants begin to gather in at the entrance, and Liu Tián Qǔ did not yet trust the new servants, nor did she want her involvement to become common knowledge. She said, "Butler Zhou and Housekeeper Gao, Commander Jiang, and I will retreat to my lounge you may carry on."
They all bowed in farewell to each other. Then Liu Tián Qǔ and Jiang Tài Píng began to make their way to Liu Tián Qǔ's lounge in the chambers of her courtyard as Liu Tián Qǔ and Jiang Tài Píng made their way towards Liu Tián Qǔ's courtyard. Liu Tián Qǔ thought of the original owner's memories of Jiang Tài Píng life from the past. Liu Tián Qǔ heart hurt a little as she thought of the hard life Jiang Tài Píng had according to the memories of the original owner.
Jiang Tài Píng had came from one of the most famous military families of the Tolling Lands. The Jiang Family was originally of the Martial World. However, due to Jiang Tài Píng's grandfather and the Jiang's military might, things had changed drastically for the Jiang family. The Jiang's military prowess spoke for itself.
On the behest of the late Emperor, Elder Jiang had retrained all of the Imperial Armies. Using the Jiang's family secret military Manuels, his knowledge of warfare and his understandings of the military. Elder Jiang created new military training Manuels, exclusively for the various Imperial Armies. Elder Jiang retrained and restructured the Shā Qì Army, Elder Wang's Qiú Fàn army, the Imperial Immortal Warriors, the Imperial Dragoon Warriors, the Wang Royal Manor guards and many of the other Imperial Armies.
Elder Jiang single handily help build strong Imperial Armies for the Imperial family and contributed to more than doubling the Imperial family's might. For all his hard work, loyalty, and dedication, he was granted nobility by the Emperor and given many rewards and gifts. Sadly for all their strength and might, the Jiang Family failed to guard against the schemes of corrupted officials. The Jiang family and three other powerful military families all fell victim to Prime Minister Peng, who almost tore the Tolling Lands apart. A few other Ministers hidden behind the scene was also involved in the conspiracy.
In a deliberate attempt to weaken the country, Prime Minister Peng aimed for the powerful military families. During that time, he set a trap, and using a wicked scheme managed to entrap all four families. The four families were accused of triggering a rebellion and causing the death of the previous Emperor.
Though many were suspicious of the charges leveled against the four families, sadly, all the evidence found pointed towards the four families. Then once the previous Emperor was killed, the rage of the Imperial family, officials, and nobles clouded the eyes of everyone. That sealed the fate of the four families. It wasn't until everyone's anger died down that they began to ask questions. However, it was all too late.
Jiang Tài Píng's father managed to get Jiang Tài Píng out in time. Elder Jiang gave Jiang Tài Píng all the Jiang's family secret Manuals and sent him back out into the Martial World. The Jiang family was originally from the Martial World, so it was no problem for Jiang Tài Píng to live and survive in the Martial World. His sad tale didn't end there, though.

After several years passed, Jiang Tài Píng came back to the Imperial City. He had promised his father that he wouldn't seek revenge for the death of his whole clan. Neither would he go digging for answers. He kept his promise, that was not what brought him back to the Imperial City. What brought him back was the illness of his wife.
His wife Jiang Mín Yuè was terribly ill throughout her pregnancy. Jiang Tài Píng spent all that he had in a bid to keep her alive during her pregnancy. Jiang Mín Yuè insisted on keep her baby no matter what the doctors said. Jiang Tài Píng found a Doctor in the Imperial City that knew of Jiang Mín Yuè's illness and how to control it. With the help of the doctor, she was able to get through her pregnancy safely. It was a tough pregnancy. After giving birth, Jiang Mín Yuè was very weak and ill.
The doctor gave Jiang Tài Píng a prescription. This prescription was capable of taking care of the root of Jiang Mín Yuè's illness and strengthening her body. Since she had already given birth, she was now able to take medicine. The Medicine was too strong for her to take while she was pregnant. It would have hurt the baby.
The problem was Jiang Tài Píng had long ran out of money trying to keep his wife alive during her pregnancy. That was when Liu Tián Qǔ met Jiang Tài Píng in the medicine shop begging for help. Little did Liu Tián Qǔ and Jiang Tài Píng know. Jiang Tài Píng barely missed repeating a life of devastation all over again.
Although Liu Tián Qǔ's predecessor knew who the wicked official was that dragged Jiang Tài Píng to a terrible end. Liu Tián Qǔ's predecessor didn't know what Prime Minister Peng looked like or when and how Jiang Tài Píng met him. She spent her life confined to the Lu family's compound. She was only able to find out this much information because her father, who was a General, was convinced that the Jiang's and the other three military families were innocent.
So General Lu, along with six other generals, had secretly did a lot of digging and investigating into the matters of the Jiang family and the other three families. They didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts, but out of self-preservation. However, they were not able to uncover the truth of the matter in time. The answers came after all four families were already obliterated.
Liu Tián Qǔ had yet to realize that she already met the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Peng was the same man in the medicine shop that watched Jiang Tài Píng almost bash his head in before deciding to help. He was the same man that called out at the same time that Liu Tián Qǔ did for Jiang Tài Píng to be released when the medicine shop attendants were going to throw Jiang Tài Píng from the medicine shop.
Even until now Liu Tián Qǔ haven't realized that she already change Jiang Tài Píng's and his family's fate completely. She was still thinking of how to help him so that his life and outcome would be different from last time. She had no idea that she already incidentally accomplished it.
She had no idea that she already change the fate of the Tolling Lands and will be instrumental in changing the whole structure of the Northern Lands.
The Prime Minister that bought the map of the northern lands last time deliberately weakened the country through many successive schemes, deliberately triggered a war, and betrayed the country during the war, almost tearing the country apart.
However, in the last life, what enabled the Prime Minister to get so far in his schemes was the army that Jiang Tài Píng built for the Prime Minister. Liu Tián Qu wasn't there last time to save Jiang Tài Píng in the Medicine Shop. The Prime Minister had saved him.
After the Prime Minister saved Jiang Tài Píng's wife in the last life. Jiang Tài Píng had sold his service to the Prime Minister, and in gratitude, he dedicated his life to helping the Prime Mister achieve his goals. It was too late by the time Jiang Tài Píng realized what the goals of the Prime Minister was.
Jiang Tài Píng had used the secrets of the Jiang Family manuals and had already built the Prime Minister an extremely powerful army that shook the very foundation of the Tolling Lands.
When the Prime Minister realized that Jiang Tài Píng understood what the Prime Minister was trying to do and wanted no part of it. The Prime Minister arranged for Jiang Tài Píng's wife and son to be killed. He then framed it on the Imperial Family.
After Jiang Tài Píng's wife was killed, he went crazy. He did everything in his power to destroy the Tolling Lands, where his Clan, his wife, and son's lives ended. That was just what the Prime Minister wanted.
Jiang Tài Píng and the army he built left seas of bodies and blood in their wake, sparing no one. He thought he was avenging his wife, son, and his clan, who were all killed by the Imperial Family.
It wasn't until he was captured by the Grand Prince and Wang Fèn Yǒng that the truth came to light. The Prime Minister whom he sold his services to and served whole heartily was the same man who was behind the deaths of Jiang Tài píng clan, his son, and his wife.
When the truth was confirmed and revealed to him, it was said that the beastly animalistic cry of agony he released was so devastating many of the warriors that had surrounded Jiang Tài Píng instantly felt their heart bleed for him. However, it was just all too much for Jiang Tài Píng. It was reported that after he released that terrible cry, he had a heart attack, his heart stopped beating, and he died.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister had sacrificed and abandoned Jiang Tài Píng fleeing into Josper. Only then was it revealed that the Prime Minister was actually an abandoned bastard child of the Emperor of Josper. All the wickedness that he did in the Tolling Lands was to gain the trust of the Emperor of Josper so he could be accepted as a Prince of Josper.
