Ginseng above a hundred years of age was prohibited from being sold outside of Goguryeo. Wang Chong didn't expect that the duo would take out a three-hundred-year-old Goguryeon ginseng.
"I'll have to thank you then."
Wang Chong didn't reject the gift. It just so happened that he needed to reach Origin Energy Tier 8, and the gift from the duo came at the right time.
"Brother Wang, you're being too polite."
Seeing Wang Chong accept the gift, Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the Guo Clan and Zi Clan were founding members of the Tang dynasty, it had been centuries since then.
On the other hand, the Wang Clan was a rising power in the Tang dynasty, especially the Old Master of the Wang Clan, 'Duke Jiu'. Not only did he serve as the prime minister, he was also highly respected and wielded great influence in the royal court. The Wang Clan was already showing signs of becoming an established clan, and it wasn't too far off from them.
On the other hand, Wang Chong caused a huge ruckus in the Vast Crane Pavilion, pummeling Yao Feng, and stirring up the regional commanders incident. The duo thought that Wang Chong wouldn't be easy to talk to, or at the very least, he would have a temper.
But from the looks of it now, Wang Chong was unexpectedly easy to get along with.
"Right, if Brother Wang is free, why don't you come to the Tiger Hall in the capital? Brother Chai and I will be sure to treat you well. Perhaps, we might be able to introduce some friends to Brother Wang."
Guo Feng said.
"Indeed. Actually, there are many people who wish to meet Brother Wang. "
Chai Zhiyi added.
There were different classes in the capital as well. Even though they were all descendants of nobles, they were divided into different groups. The 'Eight Gods Pavilion' was the place where the fifteen to seventeen year old scions of the capital went to play.
On the other hand, the 'Tiger Hall' was different. Its level was much higher.
Most of those who were able to enter the 'Tiger Hall' were highly regarded scions of their respective clans or those who were about to enlist in the military.
They were completely different from those profligate scions in the Eight Gods Pavilion.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Wang Chong to enter that place. Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi's words were tantamount to opening the door to Wang Chong, allowing Wang Chong to join their group.
Even though they were all princes of the capital, it was still difficult for many people to enter the Tiger Leopard Hall.
"Hehe, it just so happens that I'm also preparing to set up an Origin Qi Building for exchanging pointers and martial arts. If Brother Guo and Brother Chai are interested, why don't you come over for a chat? "
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"Origin Qi Building?"
Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi looked at each other in surprise.
"I wonder where Brother Wang intends to open his Yuan Qi Tower?"
"Of course it's here!"
Wang Chong extended a finger and pointed outside. Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi looked at each other. For the first time, they couldn't understand Wang Chong.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang. We'll definitely be there when the time comes."
The two of them said in unison.
After lingering in Wang Chong's room for a while, the two of them quickly left. After sending the two of them off, Wang Chong sat alone in the room and fell into deep thought.
Wang Chong wasn't joking about the matter regarding the Origin Qi Tower.
Guo Feng and Chai Shao were prepared to bring Wang Chong into their group, but how could Wang Chong possibly agree to it? The reason why he joined the Kunwu Training Camp wasn't to join any faction.
The Kunwu Training Camp was a camp of a hundred generals, and Wang Chong's wish was to gather all of them together. Then, using his knowledge, horizons, and cultivation technique manuals, he would help them surpass the limits of their previous lives and reach greater heights.
To Wang Chong, these people were his future companions. He had to find a way to gather them together. And the Origin Qi Tower was the best way to do so.
"I'll have to trouble Uncle to handle this matter!"
Wang Chong thought.
Everyone around him had been sent out by him. Shen Hai, Meng Long, Li Zhuxin, and Miyasame Ayaka weren't around.
Tuoba Guiyuan was currently in charge of the Zhang Clan's affairs, and he wasn't familiar with the affairs of the clan either. Arloja and Ablonodan had already left, saying that they would contact him if there was any news.
As a result, Wang Chong didn't have anyone around him that he could use.
Not only so, due to the departure of Li Zhuxin and the others, there was no one around Wang Chong to protect him. Furthermore, outsiders couldn't enter the Kunwu Training Camp either.
This was also a problem that left Wang Chong with a headache.
The Yao Clan, King Qi, and those Hu. Before he could raise his strength, he was still in a precarious situation.
"Perhaps, it's about time to bring that person over."
Wang Chong thought. At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Invincible Great General Li Siye!
In the history of the Tang dynasty, this person had left behind an indelible mark. During the most glorious period of the Tang dynasty, this person had ignited the most radiant light in his life and won the respect of everyone.
He was the only vanguard of the Tang dynasty who didn't understand the art of war and was conferred the title of 'Great General' through his bravery alone. Even though he had commanded an army of a million, and he didn't have the authority to oversee an entire region, his standing in the military and the history of the Tang dynasty was in no way inferior to Zhang Shougui, Gao Xianzhi, and Fomonlința.
In the military of the Tang dynasty, without outstanding strength, standing, and authority, it was impossible for one to become a 'Great General'.
Thus, Wang Chong's father Wang Yan, the Yao Clan's Yao Guang Yi, and the other Conferred Generals weren't able to become a 'Great General'.
The fact that Li Siye was able to become a Great General through his bravery and be conferred the title of 'Invincible Great General' was a testament to his bravery.
In the history of the empire, the evaluation of Li Siye was:
On the battlefield, he was able to rely on his bravery to change the course of a large-scale battle, as well as the final outcome!
This was a unique evaluation!
Li Siye's fighting style was to not avoid arrows and stones, to charge forward bravely. No matter how powerful his opponent was, he would never retreat.
It was also for this reason that Li Siye had more wounds than anyone could imagine.
This was a true man of steel, and he was also the publicly acknowledged number one vanguard in the history of the Tang dynasty!
Of the famed generals of the Tang dynasty, he was the one that Wang Chong wanted to have as his subordinate the most. But even so, it wasn't easy to subdue this future Invincible Great General.
First of all, Li Siye was born in the wilderness. His origins and the trajectory of his life before joining the army had always been a mystery.
Even after Li Siye's death, no one knew about it.
This person seemed to have never mentioned it to anyone.
So even if Wang Chong knew this name, there was no way for him to find it in advance.
In addition, as the future 'Invincible Great General', Li Siye's growth trajectory was really too fast. In his life trajectory, there was only a half-year 'gap'.
If he wanted to recruit him, there was only a short half-year. After half a year, he would enter the service of another great general.
At that time, even if Wang Chong wanted to, he might not be able to do it.
And after another two years, Li Siye's ability would be revealed. At that time, it would be impossible for him to be subdued by anyone.
So for Wang Chong, the real opportunity was only that half-year. If he managed to catch him, then he managed to catch him. If he failed, then he would forever miss this future Invincible Great General!
… If there are no surprises, he should have already been recruited into the army by now!
Wang Chong said to himself.
This was the first time Li Siye had stepped onto the stage of history. Not here, but in the conscript army heading to Anxi, where he was still an insignificant, unnoticed ordinary soldier.
This was probably the moment when he was at his lowest!
But even so, trying to recruit Li Siye was no easy task. The army had its own rules. Once a soldier was registered, it was very difficult to transfer him.
Transferring someone from the conscript army to this place was no easy task. Let alone Wang Chong, not even Wang Chong's father, Wang Yan, could do it.
I can only ask for the help of The King of Song. He is in charge of the Bureau of Military Personnel and has the authority to transfer troops. Only he can do this.
Wang Chong said to himself.
Calming himself down, Wang Chong quickly wrote a letter and sent it via messenger pigeon.
After that, Wang Chong received a few more visitors before heading to the central Kunwu Training Camp. He needed some space to properly study the Art of Life Massacre that So Jung-son had given him.
…
At the same time, on Azure Dragon Peak …
"Hmph, Sun Zhiming, do you really think that you can betray me?"
Deng Mingxin led a group of men and barged into Sun Zhiming's room. As Deng Mingxin had been assigned to Azure Dragon Peak, he had managed to escape the assault last night.
Even though the assault had caused a huge uproar, Deng Mingxin was still most concerned about the servant who had betrayed him.
"Deng gongzi, I don't know what you're talking about. Participating in the Kunwu Training Camp is an opportunity that I fought for myself. There's no such thing as betrayal! "
Seeing the group barging into his room, Sun Zhiming's face paled. He clenched his fists tightly, but there was no sign of compromise on his face.
Seeing Sun Zhiming talk back to him in front of so many people, Deng Mingxin was even more furious. In the past, Sun Zhiming had always been submissive before him, doing whatever he was told. He had never talked back to him like this.
But in just a single day, he actually dared to stand up straight and talk back to him in front of outsiders.
"Sun Zhiming, don't forget your duty. You're just a lowly servant of our Deng Clan! How dare you speak to me like that! "
Deng Mingxin's face darkened.
"I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to betray your master for glory and follow that lad from the Wang Clan, or do you want to follow me again?
"Deng Mingxin, no matter what you say, I won't agree to it this time."
Sun Zhiming gritted his teeth.
It hadn't been easy for him to escape from Deng Mingxin's grasp, so there was no way he would return. Otherwise, given Deng Mingxin's personality, who knew what would happen in the future?
"Deng gongzi, there's no need to be polite with him!"
"This lad is asking for a beating! How dare he speak to Deng gongzi in such a manner! "
"Teach him a lesson, let him know his place!"
…
A group of people who had followed him in chimed in.
"Sun Zhiming, since you're determined to not repent, don't blame me for what happens next. Your father doesn't need to stay in the Bureau of Personnel anymore, he should retire early and return to his hometown. Don't think that you'll be of any use just because you've submitted to that fellow Wang Chong. From now on, the members of your Sun Clan, young and old, don't think that you'll be able to make a name for yourselves anymore. Just stay in your hometown and focus on farming! "
Deng Mingxin flung his sleeves, his expression cold as ice.
"Let me tell you, Sun Zhiming, this is all your fault!"
"Deng Mingxin, you dare!"
In an instant, Sun Zhiming's face paled, turning incomparably pale. The Sun Clan wasn't some powerful clan, but a family of farmers.
Sun Zhiming was born in Annan, a poor and impoverished land. It was through their own hard work that the Sun Clan managed to climb out of that destitute mountain.
In this process, the Sun Clan didn't receive any help. Instead, they paid a huge price to achieve this.
This wasn't the first time Deng Mingxin had threatened him in such a manner. However, Sun Zhiming didn't think that Deng Mingxin would really dare to do so.
Borrowing his father's status, he could wipe out the efforts of the entire Sun Clan with a single word.
Sun Zhiming knew that Deng Mingxin's father had the ability to 'wield great authority'. To the Deng Clan, the Sun Clan was just an insignificant ant that could be trampled to death with a single move.
"Hmph! You'll know soon enough whether I dare or not. "
Deng Mingxin sneered coldly.
Hualala!
Just as they were speaking, the sound of something flying through the air sounded. Everyone turned around, only to see a pitch-black Night Kite descending from the sky. It flew across the hall and landed lightly on Deng Mingxin's arm.
Deng Mingxin recognized it immediately. It was the Night Kite that had delivered the letter to his father.
"Sun Zhiming, you can't be thinking that you've climbed up a high branch, right? Let me tell you, I'll let you know the price of offending me! "
