It had been nearly 15 years since he came to this world, but he never had a clear goal. In other words, the goal was always changing and not fixed.
At the beginning of his reincarnation, in the small mountain village, he only thought about how to live well and avoid dying young. This was only the most basic desire for survival. Until he met Wang Tianlei and the One-eyed Wolf and understood the difference of this world, he began to desire to learn martial arts again. However, the desire and idea at that time was only based on the desire of a Chinese who had just entered the alien world and had been influenced by martial arts novels for decades. It was an instinctive curiosity and a primitive desire for power. Of course, deep in his heart at that time, what he thought most was that practicing martial arts could prolong his life, and that his ability in that aspect should be greatly enhanced.
This was only a shallow and single goal, but the premise was to learn martial arts as the first priority.
He succeeded in learning martial arts. However, after entering the world of martial arts, everything changed. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the novels in his previous life, he developed a strong interest in martial arts. For a long period of time, he was immersed in the world of martial arts and could not be stopped. During that time, he even thought that he would study martial arts for the rest of his life until he died of old age.
However, two things happened during this period. At that time, he didn't feel anything, but now it seemed that they had a profound impact on him. First, he joined the Wu Family and became an Outer Core Disciple of the Wu Family. He came into contact with more advanced martial arts, which also gave him a preliminary understanding of this world. His addiction to martial arts began at that time. However, after being addicted for a period of time, he found that things were not as simple as he had imagined. This world was very complicated. The greatest impact on him was, of course, the death of Old Xing, which made him see the cruelty of this world for the first time. In the world of martial arts, it was impossible to be calm and peaceful, so he had to keep practicing and improving his strength. Only in this way could he avoid the ending of Old Xing. The second was naturally the bloodline of the Fiery Eyes that he possessed. It was not wrong for him to carefully hide it at that time, which proved that he had foresight. If he did not carefully hide it at that time, perhaps his pair of magical eyes would have been dug out by someone and refined into an External Elixir. The bloodline of the Fiery Eyes further increased his sense of crisis. Deep in his heart, he naturally had a strong desire for power, not for anything else but for his own safety.
Therefore, from that time on, his pursuit of power fell into a kind of fanaticism. Therefore, in Zhonghe Prefecture, he cooperated with Jin Nanqing to cheat Wu Yuntian of the ten carts of precious medicinal materials. Therefore, he would listen to Jin Nanqing and work for him. All of this was to make his situation safer.
During this period of time, he also understood another thing. In order to survive and live a good life in this world, in addition to one's own strength, one also needed a strong influence. In this world, people who were famous and lived a free and easy life, which one of them did not have a strong influence as their backer?
Wang She, the Chief of Tian Long Taoism, had Tian Long Taoism as his backer. Lu Shaoyou, the Deacon of Mingyi School, had Mingyi School as his backer. There were also some other people, such as Prince Xiaoming and Xue Wuya. They were well-known experts in the world, but also the backbone of some strong influences. Only when a powerful individual and a huge influence were combined could they exert the greatest effect and power. The bigger the influence, the safer the individual attached to it. Conversely, the more powerful the individual, the greater the deterrence of the influence.
After Tian Long Taoism had Wang She, a Level Nine expert, its status in the whole Great Jin had changed subtly.
This was a matter that complemented and complemented each other.
Understanding this, Junior Leopard naturally began to consider his own problems.
In terms of personal strength, he did not need to worry too much, because he had accumulated too much. Two External Elixirs, Fiery Eyes, several elixir prescriptions, and the benefits he got from Xue Wuya were enough for him to embark on the road of an expert. Therefore, in terms of personal strength, he had never worried about it. What he cared about was his own influence, or in other words, the influence he relied on, the Wu Family in Yunzhou.
He was born in a small village without any foundation. If he did not rely on his strong aptitude to fight his way into the Wu Family, it would be impossible for him to have such achievements.
For Junior Leopard now, the Wu Family was a big tree that could shelter him from the wind and rain. What he needed to do was to cling tightly to this tree. While helping this tree to grow, he would also absorb the nutrition from this tree to strengthen himself.
For most people in this world, the Wu Family in Yunzhou was a huge monster, so big that they could not even think of fighting against it. But for Junior Leopard, it was not enough, far from enough.
There was only a Level Seven expert in charge, and this expert had not cultivated Gang Qi. In his eyes, this kind of power was not worth mentioning at all, because he believed that in 10 years at most, his strength would break through to the Level Seven expert Realm, and he was absolutely sure that he could cultivate Gang Qi. Compared to Lyu Yiyue, the Wu Family Elder, he was much stronger. In fact, he was now sure that he could kill Lyu Yiyue in a direct confrontation.
But these were all things in the future. Now, his strength was only at Level Four. As long as he could show his value to the Wu Family, then the Wu Family would naturally pay attention to him and give him support that he could not get from other places.
Apart from the Wu Family, he still had two trees that he could rely on. One was Li Yuan, the Admiral of Zhonghe Prefecture, and the other was Wang She.
However, compared to the Wu Family, these two trees were much more unreliable. He was only Li Yuan's personal guard, and Li Yuan was only a branch of the Li Family in Pingzhou. His power came from the imperial court of Great Jin, which meant that he had more influence in Zhonghe Prefecture. Outside of Zhonghe Prefecture, no one would believe him at all. What about Wang She? But what about Wang She? Even though his strength was extremely strong and the power behind him was extremely great, he was an extremely unreliable person. To put it nicely, he was unfathomable, but to put it bluntly, he was inexplicable. It was good for Junior Leopard, but it was better to rely on himself than to rely on him!
Therefore, now that he thought about it, the one that he could really rely on, was more reliable, and could bring him huge benefits was only the Wu Family.
In a sense, the Wu Family's benefits were also his benefits. That was why he was so concerned about the ownership of River Heart Island.
Besides this consideration, after coming to Jiang City, he had a new idea. This idea came into his mind after he became the Navy Commander of Jiang City.
That was, he wanted to stay in Jiang City and run his own influence there. This was something he had never thought about before. In fact, he was not qualified to think about it before.
No matter if it was Zhonghe City or Qinlingjun City, they were both too big and there were too many experts. He was just an ordinary teenager. No matter how good his aptitude was and how promising he was, it was impossible for him to grasp too much power and influence. In Zhonghe City, although he was the personal guard of the Governor and the Seneschal of the Wu Family, the personal guard's duty was to protect the Admiral. There was no room for his power to extend. The Seneschal of the Wu Family was just a title. Without real power, he could not play any tricks.
Jiang City was different. It was a small place without so many powerful influences. In the eyes of the people of Jiang City, the powerful and complicated influences were mostly the spokesmen of some stronger influences. In his eyes, they were simply vulnerable. The most important thing was that he was the Navy Commander of Jiang City. Although this Navy Commander was only Level Eight and was not worth mentioning in the whole Great Jin, in a small place like Jiang City, he could be ranked. It was equivalent to the standing committee of a small county in his previous life. Moreover, he had soldiers, ships, power and guns. In a sense, he was now one of the leaders of the biggest influence in Jiang City.
He still had the Wu Family behind him. He believed that the Wu Family would definitely hope that he could gain a foothold in Jiang City and control the most important county of Zhonghe City. At least, he could control the waterway of Jiang City. It might not be easy for others to do this, but for him, it was not difficult at all.
So now, the only thing he had to do was to show his ability in front of the Wu Family and let them see that he indeed had the ability to control the entire waterway of Luo River in Jiang City. As long as he could do this, he believed that the Wu Family would not be stingy with their power to help him secure his position as the Navy Commander of Jiang City.
And with such a position where he could stretch his hands and feet, he could rest assured and be in a semi-dormant state. He could stay in Jiang City and practice peacefully. He could laugh at the changes in Zhonghe City and the entire Great Jin.
… …
Jiang City was peaceful today. From the morning until now, there was no one or thing worth paying attention to.
Half a month ago, the new Navy Commander led his subordinates to wipe out the water bandits at the Broken Dragon Beach. He brought back the head of Li Sanbao, the bandit leader of the Broken Dragon Beach. He also took back the River Heart Island that had always been occupied by the water bandits. This made the biggest news in Jiang City in the past ten years. For half a month, the whole Jiang City was immersed in this strange and enthusiastic atmosphere. Junior Leopard also became the focus of the whole Jiang City. As for some people in Jiang City, their focus was on the ownership of the River Heart Island.
