After listening to Lian Que's story, Jiang Wang felt a pang in his heart.
Everything in the world, as long as it had a soul, longed for freedom.
Even a lone wolf would starve to death, and a lone eagle would die from touching a pillar, let alone a human.
"So, you …"
Jiang Wang waited for him to continue. He had a vague idea of what Lian Que wanted to do.
"Although I used to think that this kind of rule was rotten and old, I also knew that it was difficult to change the Lian Family. A rule formed over hundreds of years is not something that can be easily shaken by anyone.
"But today, I truly realized that the Lian Family is rotten to the core. Honor and faith have all disappeared.
"Change must be made, no matter how painful the price of change is. Because if this continues, the Lian Family will be gone! The flame of the ancient furnace that has lasted for so many years will also be extinguished.
"Today, I have made up my mind."
Lian Que's ugly face glowed with a determined and holy light.
"I want to change all of this."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Wang asked.
"I didn't want to fight before, but now I want to fight for the position of the Lian Family's patriarch." He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "Before, I was focused on weaponsmithing and didn't have many friends. So, I want to ask for your help.
"I know that you are working for Chung Geng Sheng, and that Chung Geng Sheng is fighting with Jung Genzun for the right of inheritance. I am willing to join you. I only hope that when I want to change the Lian Family in the future, you can come and help me. "
Jiang Wang realized that this was a very solid force.
With Lian Que's reputation as a weaponsmith, he had enough capital to fight for the position of patriarch in a weaponsmith family like the Lian Family.
The Lian Family in Southern Yao was a family that even members of the imperial family coveted. If not for Emperor Qi's great prestige and strict rule, the fourteenth prince would not have had the chance to come into contact with them.
Unlike the Battle of Dragons, the risk of the Lian Family participating in the internal power struggle of the Junggenjia was not that great. In other words, if Lian Que took control of the Lian Family, he would be able to use more power and have less scruples in the competition between Chung Geng Sheng and Jung Genzun.
To Chung Geng Sheng, this was undoubtedly timely help.
Having an ally like the Lian Family was enough to shorten the distance between him and Jung Genzun. Of course, the premise of all this was that they could help Lian Que fulfill his dream.
Jiang Wang thought about it and didn't lie.
"You and I are friends. On my own behalf, I am willing to help you unconditionally. But I can't make the decision for Chung Geng Sheng. "
"And I have to tell you that the situation we're facing right now is very difficult. Jung Genzun was far superior to Chung Geng Sheng in terms of personal strength, influence, and connections. He had been the first-in-line successor for a long time, while Chung Geng Sheng had only just begun to develop. We may need your help now, but I don't want you to make a rash decision. "
"Jiang Wang," said Lian Que with a serious expression. "Whether it's Jung Genzun or Chung Geng Sheng, I don't trust any of them. So I don't need to think about those things. I only know that you're worthy of my trust. So I'm on your side. I'll help whoever you help. "
"Alright, I'll ask Chung Geng Sheng."
In front of Lian Que, Jiang Wang took out the Sound Returning Pendant and sent a message to Chung Geng Sheng in the restaurant.
He realized that this matter wasn't trivial. Rashly letting Lian Que and Chung Geng Sheng have a private conversation was probably not a good thing. In such an environment like South Distance City, the Sound Returning Pendant he had prepared for the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm came in handy.
As Jiang Wang said, he could only represent himself. He couldn't and wouldn't make a decision on behalf of Chung Geng Sheng.
However, when he discussed with Chung Geng Sheng, this fatty's decisiveness was beyond Jiang Wang's expectations.
"I agree to cooperate. Tell this sentence to Iron Boy, 'I, Chung Geng Sheng, will never treat my allies unfairly. If you help me control Junggenjia today, I'll help you overturn the Lian Family tomorrow!' "
Jiang Wang injected his Dao Energy and placed the Sound Returning Pendant in front of Lian Que.
Lian Que didn't have any objection to being called "Iron Boy". He glanced at Jiang Wang and said, "Then it's settled."
When Chung Geng Sheng heard the response, he immediately said to Jiang Wang, "It's not convenient to talk about it in detail now. I'll privately establish a secret contact with Iron Boy … uh … Lian Que. Leave immediately and come to the restaurant to find me. We'll leave the city immediately. "
Jiang Wang wasn't stupid. It was just that he was limited by his family background and didn't know much about these matters. After hearing Chung Geng Sheng's words, he immediately understood.
The less people knew about his cooperation with Lian Que, the more useful it would be in the future.
If he made a big fuss about it now, it would only do him more harm than good. A good thing might turn into a bad thing.
As the only weaponsmith in the Lian Family who had made famous weapons in the past 50 years, Lian Que had a bright future ahead of him. As long as he was willing to manage it, he would be able to develop it very quickly. In this regard, Chung Geng Sheng could secretly provide him with a lot of help. This included Lian Que's lack of experience in political struggles.
However, if he wanted to truly control the Lian Family, his opponents were not only the other Lian Family descendants who were fighting for the right of inheritance, but also the current vested interests of the Lian Family. Those elders … and even the Lian Family's patriarch, Lian Zhuping!
Lian Que's current status was, of course, of great help to Chung Geng Sheng. However, on the other hand, Lian Que also had a lot of competitors within the Lian Family.
If Chung Geng Sheng openly cooperated with Lian Que, in a way, it was equivalent to pushing Lian Que's competitors to Jung Genzun's side.
There was no need to think about whether Jung Genzun would do this or not.
He himself was doing the same thing. Among all of Jung Genzun's allies and various connections, as long as they were competitors with Jung Genzun, Chung Geng Sheng had contacted them all.
Otherwise, how could he have developed his forces so quickly?
This kind of cooperation existed in the dark and could be used as one of his trump cards. When he and Jung Genzun met in the future, it might be the deciding factor.
The more bargaining chips he had, the more confident he would be when the final result was revealed.
Of course, Jung Genzun knew that Lian Que and Chung Geng Sheng were like-minded. However, he would never have thought that Lian Que and Chung Geng Sheng would reach such a level of cooperation.
Through Jiang Wang, Chung Geng Sheng and Lian Que had made an alliance agreement where they would spare no effort to help each other!
On the contrary, Chung Geng Sheng wanted to leave immediately. The faster he left, the better. The more people would think that he and Lian Que hated each other, the better.
… …
When he returned to the restaurant, Chung Geng Sheng's subordinates had already prepared the carriage. Jiang Wang got on the carriage and left immediately.
Even though the carriage was huge and luxurious, Chung Geng Sheng alone took up almost one-third of the space.
The clan elder who accompanied Chung Geng Sheng to Nanyang was sitting opposite Jiang Wang, resting with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, he was only slightly plump. Otherwise, Jiang Wang wouldn't know where to squeeze in.
Chung Geng Sheng lifted the curtain of the carriage to observe the situation in Nanyang City. At the same time, he explained to Jiang Wang, "I'm not afraid that he has conditions or requests. If I lose, everything will come to an end. If I win, all the problems will be solved. "
"Jiang Wuyong was right about one thing. You're really a gambler."
Chung Geng Sheng's contradictory nature was very prominent. On one hand, he was cautious. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. In fact, he was also vigilant of the environment. On the other hand, he was a gambler and often made a big bet.
When he heard Jiang Wang's words, he just smiled.
"I'm not as good as Jung Genzun in every aspect. If I don't have the courage to stake everything on one throw, how can I compete with him?"
Hearing this, Chung Geng Sheng's clan elder opened his eyes and said with a smile, "You're not better than him in courage."
