"This is not the first time you've risked everything." Jiang Wang tried to persuade him. "You can't always have good luck."
"I've put everything I have into this war against the Yang Country. It's either I succeed or I die trying. I have no choice now. "
There was a hint of bitterness in Zhong Xuan Sheng's voice, which was easy to overlook. "When you get to know Zhong Xuan Zun, you will understand. If I don't do this, I won't stand a chance at all! "
"With General Chongxuan's military skills and the strength of the Qiu Offense Army, it shouldn't be a problem to treat Song Guang as an enemy and fight him together with Yang Jiande, right?" Jiang Wang asked.
"That's why I 'volunteered'!" Chung Geng Sheng said. "Destroying the Yang Country is the General's achievement. Neutralizing the threat of these seventy thousand soldiers could be considered my achievement. I really need it! "
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wang asked, "Are you confident?"
"I wasn't at first, but when I thought of you, I'm confident!"
"That's why I'm here to invite you." Chung Geng Sheng said meaningfully. "Since we're sincere about cooperating, how can you not apologize for killing his concubine's adopted son?"
Chung Geng Sheng did not say it explicitly, but Jiang Wang understood what he meant.
The so-called negotiation was not a negotiation.
Song Guang was using the negotiation as an excuse to assassinate Song Guang!
If they could kill Song Guang on the spot, Rizhao County would have no leader and the threat would disappear.
However, Song Guang was an experienced Inner Mansion Realm cultivator and had 70,000 soldiers under his command.
If the two sides faced each other, he only needed to spread out the grand formation, and he could crush Zhong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang in a single move.
During this battle, Song Guang would not let his guard down. His 70,000 soldiers were camped outside the county capital. With his Inner Mansion Realm cultivation, he could arrive in a few breaths.
Even if it was an assassination attempt and a sudden attack in the County Manor. However, with Song Guang's cultivation, as long as he revealed the slightest gap, he would be able to lead the army to counterattack … At that time, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
This did not even take into account the other experts in the county manor!
Jiang Wang had many reasons to refuse, and he was completely justified.
For example, Song Guang was an Inner Mansion Realm martial artist, while the two of them were merely in the Soaring Dragon Realm.
For example, he had just pushed open the Heaven and Earth Door and was far from reaching the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm.
Furthermore, this was a completely avoidable risk. Chung Geng Sheng was too much of a gambler. How could he risk his life like this just for some military merits?
But in the end, Jiang Wang only said, "We should apologize to Lord County Governor!"
…
…
In the end, only Chung Geng Sheng, Shi Fourteen, Jiang Wang, and Xiangqian went to the county capital.
Against the Rizhao Prefectural Governor who had 70,000 soldiers, it would be useless no matter how many of them there were.
It would be better for the four of them to go so that Song Guang would be less vigilant.
The four of them flew all the way, and none of them had weak Dao Energy. They flew directly from Qingyang Town to the outskirts of the county capital before landing.
Under normal circumstances, outsiders were not allowed to fly directly within the city.
The continuous stretch of the military camp was built not far from the city, and it could be seen at a glance. There were only some daily drills going on in the camp, but it was already filled with a murderous aura.
Looking at the military camp, Chung Geng Sheng suddenly sighed, "As the saying goes, 'The son of a wealthy family does not need to sit under the awning'. It's a pity that Jung Genzun is already the son of a wealthy family. I guess I can only be the son of a thousand pounds. "
Jiang Wang glanced at his physique and thought deeply, "Son of a thousand pounds, your life is hanging by a thread?"
Chung Geng Sheng laughed out loud and suddenly stopped, "I hope this thread is strong enough!"
Shi Fourteen did not say a word, and he was also very quiet along the way.
He had already sent a letter of greeting in advance, so he did not have to worry about being rejected by Song Guang.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, someone from the county government came to welcome them. This person was the housekeeper of Song Guang's residence, definitely a confidant. He also had the surname Song, which was probably bestowed upon him.
The county capital was very peaceful, probably because of the seventy thousand fighting soldiers stationed outside the city, which gave the city a sense of security.
The group went directly to the county government.
For Jiang Wang, this was his second time here.
However, Song Guang welcomed him in the guest hall last time, but this time, it was in the inner court. This meant that this was a private matter, and those who knew their identities were probably sealed.
Shi Fourteen and Qian Xiang were stopped outside the inner court.
"Please forgive us, guards cannot enter the inner court," Housekeeper Song said apologetically.
The older a person was, the more cowardly he became. Song Guang was even stopped by two Soaring Dragon Realm guards, which showed how cautious he was.
"It's okay," Chung Geng Sheng said with a smile, "You can wait outside."
Jiang Wang also nodded to Qian Xiang.
If Qian Xiang did not set up the sword formation in advance, he would not be able to display the killing power of an Inner Mansion Realm cultivator. It was better to let him guard outside. If necessary, he and Shi Fourteen could intercept the reinforcements from the other experts of the Sunshine County government.
Shi Fourteen and Qian Xiang did not say a word and were led to rest by the servants of the county government.
Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng followed Housekeeper Song into the inner court.
When they entered the inner court, they felt that there was a completely different world in here.
The inner court was deep and spacious, and the decorations were very elegant.
Jiang Wang thought that a greedy person like Song Guang would at least live in a place with gold bricks and jade walls. Now that he saw it, it was quite elegant.
It could be seen that "elegant" was also something that could be bought with money, so it was not a big deal. Even if he did not know how to decorate, he could spend money to hire someone who knew how to decorate.
Housekeeper Song led the way in front. His footsteps were light, and his steps were silent. He was also a Transcendent cultivator, but his strength was definitely not above the Soaring Dragon Realm.
After passing through a few corridors, Song Guang was waiting for them in his tea room.
Two groups of guards stood outside the door, looking straight ahead. Jiang Wang noticed that they were all in the Heavenly Ascension Realm.
After moving the wooden door, the elegantly decorated tea room appeared in front of Jiang Wang and Shi Fourteen.
Song Guang was sitting across a long wooden table. Next to him was a coquettish woman with heavy makeup.
The moment this woman with heavy makeup sat down, the elegant atmosphere of the tea room disappeared.
Chung Geng Sheng's eyes had a hint of mockery, but his face was full of smiles, and it did not show.
Housekeeper Song entered the tea room, knelt at the side, and ordered tea for them.
There was only one praying mat opposite Song Guang. Obviously, there was no space left for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang did not mind and sat on the ground casually.
Chung Geng Sheng used his leg to push the praying mat aside and sat on the ground.
Song Guang noticed this scene, but he did not say anything.
The situation now was completely different from when he first met Jiang Wang. At that time, although he was also the head of a county, he still maintained the necessary respect for the Junggenjia of Da Qi. In other words, he still respected the Junggenjia's financial aid.
Now that he had 70,000 soldiers in his hands, no matter which side it was, they would try to rope him in. He didn't even care about the donations anymore.
After sitting down, Chung Geng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm too fat."
"You're a rich man." Song Guang raised his hand with a smile. "Please have some tea."
