Chung Geng Sheng's business in Linzi wasn't very big.
However, Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng were busy all night. This was also the night that the Jubao Merchants were struggling to save themselves.
However, this wasn't enough to stir up the night in a big city like Linzi.
The night passed in silence in Linzi.
Early the next morning, a servant came to summon the old Marquis!
Chung Geng Sheng was a little tired, but he was in good spirits. He only said, "That uncle of mine isn't good at other things, but he's an expert at complaining!"
Jiang Wang took the time to recuperate on the isolated island and listened to his complaints.
"Uncle told me that he's not good at literature or martial arts, but he's been favored since he was young."
The uncle that Chung Geng Sheng mentioned was naturally his paternal uncle, Chongxuan Chu Liang.
In terms of blood relations, he was closer to Chongxuan Mingguang. However, in terms of their hearts, the two of them were worlds apart.
His paternal uncle, Chongxuan Chu Liang, was his pillar of support since he was young. Unfortunately, his greatest pillar of support was also Jung Genzun's paternal uncle.
Jung Genzun was also an outstanding descendant of Chongxuan Chu Liang. They were blood-related. Even with Xiong Tu's tyranny, he couldn't really do anything to him.
"When I was young, I always wondered why someone like my grandfather would favor such a stupid uncle."
"Later on, I finally understood!"
Probably because the situation had reached a critical juncture, Chung Geng Sheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He also started to ramble. It was a way to calm people down.
"My grandfather had four sons. My father and third uncle are gone. My fourth uncle is far away on an island and doesn't return all year round. I haven't heard a word from him. My uncle, on the other hand, didn't like to be lectured and moved out to live on his own. However, he would always ask questions in the morning and afternoon. "
"It can be seen that everyone has their own strengths. Everyone has their own preferences and what they can be moved about in different ways! Someone as stupid as Uncle Mingguang has his filial side. A hero like my grandfather will inevitably have a soft heart when he gets old! "
Jiang Wang said in surprise, "Did you think of this when you were young?"
"That's right. When I was young, I would always lie in bed alone, thinking about how I was different from others and why I was different. Fourteen was afraid that I would starve, so he always took food and sat by the bed to feed me. I'll think about it as I eat! "
Does thinking too much make a person smarter? Or perhaps, sometimes circumstances force people … to be smart?
Imagining a lonely little fatty struggling to come up with an answer for the cold treatment he received, the scene was inevitably a little sad.
Jiang Wang deliberately laughed and said, "So it's Fourteen's fault that you're so fat!"
"Yes, it's all Fourteenth's fault!" Chung Geng Sheng said. He probably thought that Fourteenth was still injured, so he lost interest in talking. He pushed the booklet in front of him, "Let's go. Accompany me to Marquis Bowang's estate!"
By this time, Jiang Wang had finished his training. Without asking why, he stood up as well.
"It's said that a marquis' family is as deep as the ocean. Thanks to you, I've been to the ocean twice since I came to Linzi!"
Chung Geng Sheng laughed, "You're a good swimmer!"
… …
Following Chung Geng Sheng directly into Marquis Bowang's estate, there were no twists and turns.
Jiang Wang saw Marquis Bowang himself for the first time in the main hall.
He was an awe-inspiring old man. Although the wrinkles on his face were deep, his aura was solemn. He was dressed in casual clothes, but it was as if he was wearing a battle robe. He sat upright.
He was tall and tall. Although he was sitting, he gave off the feeling of a mountain.
Chongxuan Mingguang wasn't present. Perhaps he didn't want to confront Chung Geng Sheng face to face, or perhaps there were other reasons. Jiang Wang didn't know.
But there was a figure covered in black armor standing next to Marquis Bowang.
Who else could it be but Fourteen, who was supposed to be recuperating in Junggenjia territory?
He didn't know when he had recovered, but he didn't return to Chung Geng Sheng's side immediately.
This was a small reminder. In terms of status, Fourteen was Chung Geng Sheng's personal bodyguard. He was also the family's loyalist, first the family, then the master.
Chung Geng Sheng first bowed to Chongxuan, then laughed without restraint, "Fourteen!"
Fourteen bowed his head slightly in response. He then glanced at Jiang Wang and nodded.
For Fourteen, this was a rare recognition and greeting, and it was also because they had fought side by side.
Jiang Wang also bowed to Chung Geng Sheng, "Jiang Wang greets the Marquis."
Chongxuan Yunbo raised his hand slightly, "No need to be so courteous. Chu Liang told me about you. He said you're good! "
It was an honor to be mentioned by Chongxuan Chu Liang in front of Marquis Bowang.
Jiang Wang said modestly, "I don't deserve Marquis Dingyuan's praise."
Chongxuan Yunbo only nodded slightly, then turned to Chung Geng Sheng and said, "Let's talk alone as Junggenjia people?"
With his status, it was already an honor for him to be willing to talk to Jiang Wang.
At this time, he had something to say to Chung Geng Sheng, but he didn't recognize Jiang Wang's qualification to listen in.
Jiang Wang didn't want to argue with the Marquis in front of Junggenjia, so he wanted to leave.
But a fat hand stopped him.
Chung Geng Sheng looked at the Marquis and said, "If it's a private conversation between grandfather and grandson, it's only me and grandfather who can talk. It's said that we want to talk about Junggenjia … Grandfather, I don't have anything that Jiang Wang can't listen to. The same goes for Fourteen. "
"When I had nothing, it was Fourteen who accompanied me. When I had a gloomy future, it was Jiang Wang and Fourteen who accompanied me to the Tianfu Secret Territory. In the Yang Territory, it was the three of us who fought a bloody battle together to achieve what we have today! Grandfather, they have a share in my career. "
Fourteen had always been silent, so Jiang Wang was also silent.
Chongxuan Yunbo looked at his grandson for a while, then said, "The Mountain-Carrying Armor has been repaired, but it's still not as good as before!"
Fourteen's Mountain-Carrying Armor had been broken once before. It was repaired, but it was broken again by Ji Cheng's arrow on the Yang Territory battlefield.
Chung Geng Sheng paused for a while, then replied, "It's not as good as before!"
Chongxuan Yunbo sighed, "The armor can always be repaired, but the person can't."
There was a trace of sadness in his words.
What Jiang Wang didn't know was that the Mountain-Carrying Armor was the armor of Chung Geng Sheng's father, Chongxuan Futu. When he died in a bloody battle, this armor was also broken on the battlefield.
After it was repaired, it was no longer as good as before. This armor was left to Chung Geng Sheng as a legacy, and Chung Geng Sheng gave it to Fourteen.
"Grandfather." Chung Geng Sheng said, "If it can't be repaired, then there's no need to. The armor is the same, and the person is the same! "
Chongxuan Yunbo hoped that his family would be filled with children and grandchildren. How could that be possible?
He hoped so, but he knew that it wasn't realistic.
Thus, he sighed and changed the topic, "I know you hate Jiang Wuliang, but he has been imprisoned for nineteen years. You don't have to stab him again and cut off his remaining hope."
Jiang Wuliang's imprisonment was called the Green Stone Palace.
The name of this palace was very particular.
Let's not talk about the stone and jade, just the word "green".
The Crown Prince usually lived in the East Palace, and the East was mainly green, so the Green Stone Palace often referred to the East Palace.
Although Qi Jun detested the eldest son of the Emperor, there was still a trace of unspoken expectation in his heart. After all, Jiang Wuliang was his first son, who had accompanied him through difficult times.
This time, Chung Geng Sheng used Xu Fang's death to punish the Jubao Merchants, and at the same time, he also dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Wuliang, knocking him into the abyss again.
But … why did he say that Chung Geng Sheng hated Jiang Wuliang?
Why did he hate the deposed Crown Prince?
Jiang Wang was silent at the side. He realized that he was going to hear about the past of Junggenjia and Qi.
