On the way back to the inn, Shuan Zi chatted with Xiao Xiao.
"Ha, there are so many people in the city, huh?"
"The buildings are so tall."
"Watch your step!"
"Miss Xiao Xiao, you really know how to walk."
He was a little clumsy, but because of this clumsiness, he showed some sincerity.
Xiao Xiao finally replied, "Thank you, you know how to walk too."
"Ha, ha!" Shuan Zi said happily, "I've never gone shopping with a girl as pretty as you. No, I've never gone shopping with a girl before … "
"We're not shopping, we're going back to the inn."
"I've never gone back to the inn with a girl before!"
"…"
Xiao Xiao hugged a bolt of cloth and looked down at the road, not saying anything else.
Shuan Zi could only look left and right, pretending as if nothing had happened and that the atmosphere was not awkward.
…
After leaving the small courtyard, Jiang Wang did not wander around the city, but went straight back to the inn.
While chatting with Xi Zichu, he realized something in hindsight.
After he got the famous weapon, Chung Geng Sheng probably asked him to come to Qingyang Town not only for the celestial stone mine, but also to take over the Chongxuan family's business in the entire Yang Kingdom.
This was the support from the family after Chung Geng Sheng took a big step forward in the competition for the inheritance. However, there were still too few people around him that he could use.
The Hu Mine was only the first step in Jiang Wang's trip to the Yang Kingdom. Helping Chung Geng Sheng smoothly control the Junggenjia's resources in the Yang Kingdom and providing further support for his competition with Jung Genzun was Chung Geng Sheng's ultimate goal.
Of course, if Jiang Wang did not handle it well, it would prove that he did not have the talent in this area, and Chung Geng Sheng would probably not let him do the rest of the work.
This was very rare for Jiang Wang. Whether it was facing the White Bone Path or the Zhuang Kingdom, he had the need to build his own power. This was a good opportunity to gain experience. Furthermore, as long as he did things well, Chung Geng Sheng would not mind if he used someone else's shell to lay eggs.
And the premise of all of this was the Hu Mine itself.
He wanted to solve this problem, not to give Chung Geng Sheng an answer, but to give Chung Geng Sheng a reason to convince the others in Junggenjia.
Letting Shuan Zi drive the carriage and carrying the purchased cloth, the three of them directly left the city and rushed to the mine.
Leaving the city at this time, the only problem was safety.
However, with a transcendent cultivator like Jiang Wang around, there was no need to consider it.
The plan to spend a day in Jia City was canceled. Xiaoxiao naturally had no objections, but Shuan Zi was a little disappointed.
While driving the carriage, he asked, "Master Dugu, why don't you live in the city?"
Earlier, Jiang Wang had suddenly left without telling them what he was going to do.
At this moment, he casually said, "There's nothing special about Jia City."
As for why he came to Jia City, he had already achieved his goal, so he didn't need to explain it to Shuan Zi.
For the rest of the journey, Jiang Wang closed his eyes and cultivated. The carriage returned to the mining area peacefully.
…
After unloading the cloth in the carriage back to Jiang Wang's courtyard, Shuan Zi drove the carriage to report to Manager Hu.
Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, stroked the high-quality cloth back and forth, unable to put it down.
Jiang Wang went straight to his bedroom and began to do today's evening lesson.
After familiarizing himself with all the Daoist techniques, he entered the Great Illusionary Realm and matched himself with three battles. He won all three battles.
After retreating for a while, he began to think about the problem of the celestial bluestone mine.
Since the Xi Family was temporarily excluded, things were much easier to handle.
The remaining directions were none other than the transcendent cultivators stationed here and the Hu Family of Qingyang Town.
As for the specific incident, there were three breakthroughs.
One was that a worker saw the sheep in the mine and later left. Another was that the cultivator stationed here fought with a mysterious person who broke into the mine at night and later left. The last one was what Shuan Zi said about the murder of Village Head Hu You's son, Hu Shaomeng.
He wrote down the analysis on a piece of paper and looked at it for a while before lighting a fire and burning it to ashes.
…
In the dead of night.
Jiang Wang jumped out of the window without making the slightest sound.
With his current cultivation level, no one in the Hu Family's mine could discover his tracks.
He left the mine and ran all the way to Qingyang Town.
The village head's house wasn't hard to find. It was the most imposing one in the entire town.
At this time, it was completely silent. Most of the townspeople had already fallen asleep.
Hu You was able to become the actual manager of the Chongxuan Clan's Jia City mine, so he must have his own skills. Jiang Wang wouldn't underestimate him.
He didn't have any suitable concealment Daoist techniques in his current life, so he simply used his physical strength to jump onto the roof, completely relying on his control of his body to achieve noiselessness.
The roof of the Hu Family's residence was covered with blue tiles. Jiang Wang leaped down like a falling leaf.
He found the main house and heard a faint sound.
Jiang Wang estimated the location and slowly pulled out a blue tile. He looked down and immediately turned his eyes.
A pile of white fat almost blinded his eyes.
At this time, he could clearly hear that the faint sound was clearly the creaking of a bed.
Jiang Wang held his breath with rapt attention.
In a flash, the sound stopped.
Then there was a long period of rustling.
Jiang Wang heard an old man's voice say, "Don't come over tomorrow. Shaomeng is coming back."
This person should be the village head of Qingyang Town, Hu You.
Then a woman's voice complained, "Your wife died eight years ago. Isn't it normal to remarry? Why do we always have to be sneaky? Can we hide from him forever? "
Hu You advised, "Just bear with it. He's cultivating outside and doesn't always come back. "
"Then why did he come back this time?"
"Don't ask about this. It won't do you any good to know."
The woman was probably angry, "You only know how to tell me to bear with it and not to ask. Why don't you tell your son to bear with it and not let him call me 'mother'? "
"He's been a brute since he was a child. Now that he's learned some skills, do you dare to provoke him? "
The woman's voice suddenly became small. She only complained, "I've never heard of a father being afraid of his son."
"Alas. When he's gone, I'll make it up to you. "
… …
Jiang Wang listened for a long time but didn't hear anything useful.
The only news he got was that Hu Shaomeng's father, Hu You, secretly found him a stepmother, but because of Hu Shaomeng's temper, he didn't dare to openly marry her.
What the hell was this?!
He carefully put the tile back and then jumped away from here.
He originally planned to search Hu Shaomeng's room tonight, but since Hu Shaomeng hadn't come back for a long time, there wouldn't be any useful clues in his residence.
It was better to wait for him to come back.
From Hu You's words, it should be in these two days.
On the way back to the mine, the summer night wind blew.
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of a problem.
Xi Zichu and Hu Shaomeng were both cultivating outside. Why did they come back during this time? Was it just a coincidence?
… …
With something on his mind, Jiang Wang saw that he was about to reach the small courtyard. His heart moved. He deliberately changed direction and pretended to walk outside.
"Brother Xiang, you also came out to admire the moon?"
He greeted the disheveled uncle who wandered over.
He didn't know why this uncle with the surname Xiang wandered around all day.
This person raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Wang.
"Alas." He sighed.
"… …" Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask, why do you always sigh?"
"Don't you think … …" He yawned weakly. "This kind of life is very boring?"
"… … I just got here."
"Alas, believe me. We don't have much future in this life. Just endure like this. Endure today, endure tomorrow. Day after day, year after year, until we grow old, die, be buried in the yellow earth, and turn into yellow soil. "
His eyelids drooped. "Life is really meaningless."
Jiang Wang wasn't the kind of hot-blooded youth who wanted to burn with others at all times.
"I remember that I still haven't slept for a night."
He didn't say anything else and turned to return to his courtyard. "Goodbye."
