At this time, the carriage had already left Nanyao City.
Chung Geng Sheng put down the curtain and looked at the old man opposite him. He said with a smile, "You don't need to mention that I'm more handsome than Jung Genzun. How can a good man win by his appearance?"
The short and fat old man smiled kindly, "It's your face."
He turned to look at Jiang Wang and repeated, "It's your face."
Jiang Wang nodded in agreement.
Chung Geng Sheng didn't care at all. He took the opportunity to introduce to Jiang Wang, "This is my cousin. Because of my handsome face, he has been doting on me since I was a child. Although he looks so kind now, he was called the Fierce Butcher back then. His fierce name can stop children from crying at night! "
The Fierce Butcher, Chu Liang, was the younger brother of the current head of the Chongxuan family. He was the youngest in his generation.
Now, many people might not remember Chongxuan Chu Liang.
But if the fierce battle of Qi and Xia 30 years ago was mentioned, perhaps everyone would know the name of the Fierce Butcher.
That battle was the battle that established Qi's position as the overlord of the Eastern Region.
As a strong challenger of Qi in the Eastern Region, the State of Great Xia's army was extraordinary.
The battle between the two countries lasted for four months.
In the end, it was Chongxuan Chu Liang who led the army to the rear, slaughtered people, cut off food and land, and made the rear of the State of Great Xia chaotic.
In that battle, the State of Great Xia, which had been strong for a time and defeated the two regions in the Eastern and Southern Region, was completely destroyed. It had to cede a large part of its territory, abandon many vassal states, and completely retreat to the Southern Region.
If the State of Jing in the Central Region hadn't intervened to balance the State of Great Xia, the State of Great Xia would have been destroyed.
Because of his extremely fierce leading style in that battle, Chongxuan Chu Liang was called the Fierce Butcher since then.
Probably because they were a little fat and had squinting eyes, among the younger generation, Chung Geng Sheng, who had lost his father since childhood, was his favorite.
Like Jung Genzun, Chung Geng Sheng was the grandson of the current Patriarch, Chongxuan Yunbo. They could be considered cousins by blood.
However, Chung Geng Sheng's father had died early. In this aspect, he was congenitally inferior to Jung Genzun.
However, in the generation of Chung Geng Sheng's father, there were almost no outstanding talents. Otherwise, Jung Genzun and Chung Geng Sheng's generation wouldn't have fought over the inheritance of the family head.
Jung Genzun's father was no exception. He still had power and status in the clan, but it was impossible for him to advance any further. However, he had already thought it through. Now, he was wholeheartedly trying to push his son to the top.
Most of the elders in the clan had ambiguous attitudes. The only one who clearly supported Chung Geng Sheng was this Chongxuan Chu Liang.
In Nanyao City, he forced the Inner Mansion Stage Great Eunuch by Jiang Wuyong's side to retreat with a single sentence. It could be seen that although many years had passed, the might of the Fierce Butcher had not been completely forgotten.
"Greetings, Senior." Jiang Wang greeted him honestly. He didn't have any direct impression of this short and fat old man's ferocity. He only felt that he was kind and amiable.
Chongxuan Chu Liang was all smiles. He seemed to admire Jiang Wang very much. "Sheng 'er has a good eye for people. You're not bad. Your swordsmanship has some charm. "
For an expert like him, "some charm" was already a good evaluation.
Jiang Wang accepted it calmly.
It was a rare opportunity to sit in the same carriage with an expert of this level. He took the opportunity to ask about some obstacles in cultivation.
Chongxuan Chu Liang patiently answered all of them, benefiting him greatly.
By the time they finished talking about cultivation, the carriage had already moved far away.
Chung Geng Sheng was going directly to Handan, the capital of Qi, to continue the unfinished business.
Jiang Wang thought about it and felt that after his battle with Jiang Wuyong, it wasn't suitable for him to appear in Handan.
Even if Jiang Wuyong didn't want to settle old scores, he couldn't help but see him in front of him every day.
Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Chung Geng Sheng, "Now that I've forged my sword, I need time to practice Dao techniques. It's hard for me to break through in a short period of time. It's useless to just sit here. Is there anything I can help with? "
He and Chung Geng Sheng weren't just followers. With Lian Que's cooperation, they were bound even tighter. It could be said that they shared honor and disgrace.
Chung Geng Sheng didn't hold back. Taking Jiang Wang to Handan would be more trouble than help.
He thought about it seriously and said, "There is one thing. The Junggenjia has a celestial bluestone mine in the Yang country. Occasionally, it produces precious celestial bluestone. When we first obtained this mine, we estimated that there would be 30 years of mining left. But for some reason, after five years of mining, it seems to have dried up. The production is dropping rapidly. This is one of the things I'm taking over. If you're interested, you can go to the Yang country on my behalf and see the situation. "
Qi was a powerful country in the world. Not only did it have a vast territory, but it also had many vassal states.
The so-called vassal states were the states that regarded Qi as their sovereign state. Every year, they had to pay tribute. Once Qi went on an expedition, the vassal states had to organize a certain number of troops to accompany them.
Correspondingly, Qi had the obligation to protect these states from being invaded by other states.
The Yang country was one of Qi's vassal states.
The Junggenjia was a prominent family in Qi. It was normal for them to have properties in the neighboring states, especially in a vassal state like the Yang country.
There must be something fishy about the sudden drop in the production of a mine that had been mined for 30 years.
Celestial bluestone was a good material for making artifacts. However, it was only a mineral associated with celestial bluestone. The production was not high. In the past, among the properties that Chung Geng Sheng took over, the value was not high. But now, with the Lian Que line, the value was completely different.
In Chung Geng Sheng's eyes, it was no longer a mineral. It was a standardized artifact that had already been formed!
That was why he took this matter so seriously and asked Jiang Wang to handle it.
Of course, on the other hand, although Jiang Wang's power was not bad, in the internal strife of Qi, he was not very useful. His real value was the qualification to enter the Inner Palace of the God Power. It was his future.
The best way was to leave after building up his reputation, accumulate power in other places, and then return after fulfilling his potential.
Jiang Wang did not think too much and agreed. After all, to him, both Qi and Qi were foreign countries. It did not make a difference where he was.
He promised to help Chung Geng Sheng fight. There was nothing much to say. He just had to do his best.
"Oh, right." Chung Geng Sheng suddenly thought of something and said, "You will pass by Fengxian County on your way to Qi. I received news that Fengxian County's Zhang Yong's family was recently exterminated. Didn't you get along well with Zhang Yong? You can go and ask him about it. "
What he meant was that he wanted Jiang Wang to help recruit him. However, there was no need to say it out loud. Jiang Wang naturally understood.
"Wiped out?" Jiang Wang thought of the shy and introverted young man and frowned. "Did you find out who did it?"
Chung Geng Sheng shook his head. "No."
"Okay, I got it." Jiang Wang was deep in thought.
Who would bear such a deep grudge against the already declining Fengxian Zhang family?
Yet, when Fengxian Zhang had a talent and had a chance to rise again, they did such a terrible thing.
On the official road, one of the Junggenjia's carriages split off.
The wheels rolled and carried Jiang Wang straight to Fengxian County.
