In troubled times, since there were True Dragons and Sons of Heaven, there were naturally Phoenixes as well.
Although there were dragons and snakes mixed in the True Dragons and other birds mixed in the Phoenixes, as long as they had a trace of nobility, they could greatly help their husband's Yang luck!
Wang Yu's face was filled with excitement when he heard this big secret.
"Hehe … Back in the days, when our ancestors were born, they were accompanied by auspicious energy. The sky was crimson red, and there was clear energy rising, shaped like dragons and tigers. Because of this, we were envied by the imperial court! Even though we became a Jinshi at the age of eighteen, we wasted our time and were only demoted to be a governor when we were middle-aged! Furthermore, there was the Flood Dragon Chaos Chu Feng! "
Wang Su revealed a cold smile as he spoke of the clan's big secret. "The nobles of the imperial court had a good plan. They made my ancestor suppress the Flood Dragon and lost more than half of his Yang luck. Then, they sealed the White Flood Dragon. All these things … Which one of them wasn't a huge waste of luck? After a few times, my ancestor's Yang luck was destroyed and he was at the mercy of the imperial court. A few years later, he vomited blood and died! So what if he had glory after his death?
"Fortunately, my ancestor still had some virtue and gained the support of the people. After a hundred years of hard work, he finally climbed to the position of City God. Our Wang Clan also became a county lord. It was the time for us to develop … But at this time, the imperial court sent Li Zhen down to suppress us …"
At this point, his face was filled with viciousness. "In the past, if the emperor wanted the subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die. Thunder and rain are the grace of the heavens … But now, the heavens have changed and the Flood Dragon has appeared. Do they really think that our Wang Clan is made of clay?"
"This Dragon Gate Meeting will end the karma with the White Flood Dragon. We will take this opportunity to rise in the sky! … Our Wang Clan has little fortune and we can't hope to become a vassal, but we can still become a provincial governor … "
Wang Yu's face was filled with excitement when he heard this.
Chu Feng County had eight counties and hundreds of thousands of people. It was a fool's dream to become a vassal, but it was more than enough to become a provincial governor.
As long as they made it a fait accompli and respectfully submitted a letter, the imperial court would not be able to refute them.
"In this chaotic world, the Dragon Qi is rising in every province and county …"
Wang Yu's heart lit up. "Just in this prefecture alone, there are several military governors. Although they are nominally under the command of the imperial court, they have actually formed their own countries …"
Thinking back to his father's words, his heart skipped a beat, 'No matter how well our Wang Clan does, we can only be a provincial governor. But after we obtain a county, we will work hard to improve our politics, reorganize our troops, and take in Feng Ge's daughter. With her fate, it is not impossible for us to fight for the position of a duke … or even … the Son of Heaven!'
As he thought of this, a ball of fire burned in his heart.
…
On the west side of the county city, there was a stone bridge named 'Baxia'.
The shape of the bridge was like a crescent moon. Below each railing was engraved a lifelike image of a dragon or turtle carrying a heavy load. There were more than three hundred of them, which coincided with the number of heavenly cycles. However, each one was different, hence the name.
Willows could be seen on both sides of the river. In the third month of spring, it was a famous scene in the county city.
At this moment, there were still many pedestrians on the bridge. There were also peddlers and food stalls that were scattered around and hawking their wares.
"Steamed biscuits … freshly made steamed biscuits …"
"Roasted donkey meat, fresh and hot …"
"Fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling …"
"Calligraphy and paintings of famous people …"
Although it was just a small place, it was comparable to the temple fair in Yunping County. The prosperity of the county city made Wu Tiehu feel a little dazzled.
"Young Master! You asked me to buy the fried biscuits! "
Wu Tiehu was tall and strong. He squeezed into the stall and came out after a while with a smile.
"Mm!"
Wu Ming took the oil paper and smelled the fragrance of spring onions. He took a bite and walked slowly on the bridge as if he was enjoying the scenery.
"Young Master, please wait!"
When he reached the East Bridge, a clear female voice was heard.
Wu Ming was stunned. Then, he saw a girl in a green dress walking towards him.
Although this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her body had already grown up and she had about sixty to seventy percent of her age. More importantly, although she was dressed as a servant, she had a heroic look on her face and a long sword.
This was a little out of place, but Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. From the girl's footsteps, breathing, and wrist movements, he knew that this girl really knew swordsmanship and was not just for show. This was a little shocking.
"Young Master, are you Wu Ming?"
The servant with the sword looked at Wu Ming from head to toe. Although she had a smile on her face, her every move was meticulous and respectful.
She looked at him as if she was looking at a playboy.
"Tsundere?!"
Wu Ming almost laughed out loud, but he held it in. "I am Wu Ming. May I know who this lady is …"
"This is a gift from my Young Mistress!"
After the maidservant confirmed it, she acted as if she was doing official business. She handed over an item wrapped in a handkerchief. "My Young Miss said that if anything goes wrong, you can take this item and go to any merchant house in Nan Feng County. There will be someone who will take care of you. You will be safe and sound!"
After she finished speaking, she bowed and left with a cold face.
"Am I … being looked down upon? Or was my reputation as a playboy spread too far? "
Wu Ming was stunned on the spot and was somewhat speechless. "A servant girl wants to send me away?! But she is quite arrogant … Nan Feng County, Wu Clan? "
"Hey! How dare you! "
Just as the servant was about to leave, she saw Wu Tiehu's tower-like figure blocking her way.
If the master was humiliated, the servant would die! Wu Ming didn't feel anything, but Wu Tiehu couldn't hold it in any longer.
Now that he had received pointers from Wu Ming, his martial arts had improved. Furthermore, he had connected with the stars and entered the Realm of True Qi. Just by standing there, he didn't have Wu Ming's natural aura, but his aura was fierce and threatening.
"Who are you?"
Being pressured by this baleful aura, the young lady couldn't help but take two steps back. Her hand was on the hilt of her sword. It was obvious that she really dared to kill someone on the street.
However, she was still a thick-skinned person. Beads of sweat appeared on her face. Wu Ming knew that if they really fought, she would definitely be beheaded in less than ten moves.
But if she did that, she wouldn't be asking for help. Instead, she would be making enemies and finding trouble for herself.
Wu Ming smiled. "Tiehu, aren't you going to step back? My servant was rude and caused you to be startled. I just wanted to ask for your name. Is it possible for you to tell me? "
Seeing Wu Ming's shout, the baleful Wu Tiehu didn't dare to disobey and retreated respectfully. A look of surprise finally appeared in the servant's eyes. "I am Young Miss' sword servant. My name is Jianqiu!"
She didn't stay any longer and left quickly.
"Jianqiu? Keke … Just by hearing the name of the servant, I know the master. That Young Miss probably isn't someone easy to deal with … "
Wu Ming smiled. Such actions were similar to the Three Kingdoms period. Her servant would hold a sword and a knife to serve her, scaring Emperor Liu so much that he would tremble in fear.
He just didn't know who would be so unlucky as to become the son-in-law of the Wu Clan.
Opening the handkerchief, he saw that there was a golden bracelet wrapped in it. The craftsmanship was exquisite. It wasn't much, but it had an aura to it, causing Wu Ming to be slightly shocked.
Opening his spiritual eye, he saw a green aura appearing on the bracelet. It rose in spirals and seemed to form the image of a phoenix.
"Her fate is even higher than my sister's …"
Wu Ming's expression was a little strange. "Even the daughter of a duke or marquis can't compare to her. At the very least, she has to be a princess or a consort … Even though the Wu Clan is the ruler of the Nanfeng County, even the head of the clan doesn't have such an aura, right? This girl's fate is really noble. Who knows, she might even be able to become an empress in the future? "
However, this had nothing to do with him.
Even though Wu Qing had painstakingly prepared an escape route for him, Wu Ming was no longer the same as before, and he was no longer an ignorant fool.
"Let's go!"
After keeping the items, Wu Ming instructed, "Get on the carriage and take a look at a few places …"
…
"Young Miss, I've already passed the item to that person according to your instructions!"
Jian Qiu walked down the bridge and took a few more steps before stopping beside a carriage that was parked by the river. Then, he said respectfully.
She seemed to have a lingering fear in her heart. "That young master is still fine. The burly man beside him is quite a character. It's a pity that he chose to follow that profligate son of a b * tch."
"That's where you're wrong …"
On the carriage, the curtains were slightly lifted, revealing a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars and were filled with heroic spirit. "Although this servant is a warrior, I am still a warrior. "Although the servant is a warrior, if the master isn't capable, how will he be able to command him?"
"Outsiders say that the Wu Clan's siblings are a phoenix and a rat, but in my opinion, even now, that lad isn't inferior to his sister!"
"Young Miss …"
Jianqiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect the proud and arrogant young miss to have such a deep evaluation of that young master.
"On the other hand, you …"
At this moment, the pair of eyes turned to Jianqiu. "What did I tell you before? Why did you neglect him just because of the rumors?"
Even though her words weren't harsh, Jianqiu immediately knelt down. "This servant knows her mistake! Young Miss, please punish me! "
However, she knew that with the headmaster's unyielding character, any attempt to deny it would only increase his hatred. Only by apologizing respectfully would she have a chance of survival.
"En! You know the family's rules. When you return, go to the Law Enforcement Hall yourself! "
Hearing this, Jianqiu's body trembled, and her face turned pale. Clearly, she knew where it was, but she could only kowtow. "Thank you, Young Miss, for your mercy!"
The curtains were lowered, and the carriage slowly set off.
In the carriage, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with unparalleled beauty and a heroic aura rubbed the space between her brows. "This time, when I came to Chu Feng Prefecture, I saw the undercurrents surging. The great change is at the Dragon's Gate! When I return, I will report this to my father and prepare for a rainy day! "
"Right now, in Dingzhou, although there are provincial governors, most of them have a county and a town. My family has already overthrown the governor and obtained all of Nanfeng Prefecture. If we can take down two prefectures in one fell swoop with the Thunder Strike, we will immediately be able to form a great power …"
"Also … I need to place people at father and eldest brother's side as soon as possible …"
The beautiful girl's eyes were gloomy, but they also carried a resolute and murderous look.
She suddenly thought of the youth she saw today. He did have some foundation, which was surprising. Unfortunately, that was all, and she didn't think about him anymore.
