The carriage had already driven out of Nanyao City at this time.
Chong Xuan Sheng lowered the car curtain, looked at the old man opposite, and said with a playful smile: "There is no need to mention that Chong Xuan Zun is more handsome than Chong Xuan Zun. How can a good man judge winning or losing based on his appearance?"
The short, fat old man smiled kindly and said, "It's shame."
He turned to look at Jiang Wang and repeated, "It's shame."
Jiang Wangshen nodded sympathetically.
Chong Xuansheng didn't take it seriously at all, and took this opportunity to introduce to Jiang Wang: "This is my cousin. Because of my handsome appearance, he has loved me since I was a child. Don't look at how kind he looks now. Back then, he was called Fierce Butcher, and a ferocious name could stop a child from crying at night!"
Chu Liang, the fierce butcher of Chongxuan, was the younger brother of the current head of the Chongxuan clan and the youngest of his generation.
Now when it comes to Chongxuan Chu Liang, many people may not remember him.
But if you mention the fierce battle between Qi and Xia thirty years ago, probably no one will know the name of the fierce massacre.
The battle that year was the battle that established Qi's dominance in the Eastern Region.
As a powerful challenger to Qi in the Eastern Region, Xia's army had extraordinary combat capabilities.
The two countries were at war, and the war lasted for four months.
In the end, it was Chongxuan Chu Liang who led a group of troops to break into the rear, massacred the city, cut off food and land, and caused chaos in the rear of Xia Kingdom.
In that battle, the Xia Kingdom, which had once been powerful for a while and slanted the southeastern and southeastern regions, was completely beaten into half a state. It had to cede a large area of land, abandon many vassal states, and completely retreat to the southern region.
If the Jing State in the Central Region had not taken action for the purpose of balancing, the Xia State would have been destroyed.
And because of his extremely brutal leadership style in that war, Chongxuan Chu Liang has since been dubbed the "Cruel Slaughter".
Probably because they are all a bit fat and have squinty eyes, among the juniors, Chong Xuan Sheng, who lost his father when he was young, has been attracted to him since he was a child.
Chongxuan Sheng, like Chongxuan Zun, is the grandson of the current head of the family, Chongxuan Yunbo. They are considered direct cousins.
It's just that Chong Xuan Sheng's father died early, and in this regard, he was inherently inferior to Zhong Xuan Zun.
But Chong Xuan Sheng's father's generation had almost no outstanding talents. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Chongxuan Zun and Chongxuan Sheng to fight for the inheritance of the family head.
Zhongxuanzun's father is no exception. There is still a position of power in the clan, but it is absolutely impossible to go further. However, he has already thought about it clearly, and now he is focusing on promoting his son to rise to power.
Most of the elders in the family have ambiguous attitudes. The only one who unequivocally supported Zhongxuan's victory was Chongxuan Chu Liang.
In Nanyao City, he forced the eunuchs of the Neifu Realm around Jiang Wuyong to retreat with just one word. It can be seen that although the years have passed, the power of the murderous massacre has not been completely forgotten by people.
"Hello, senior." Jiang Wanglao greeted him honestly. He had no intuitive impression of the fierceness of the short, fat old man, but he only thought he was quite kind and approachable.
Chongxuan Chu Liang smiled and seemed to admire Jiang Wang very much: "Sheng'er has a good eye for seeing people. You are not bad. There is some charm in swordsmanship."
For a strong man like him, "some charm" is already a good evaluation.
Jiang Wang also accepted it calmly.
It was a rare opportunity to sit in the same car with a strong man of this level, so he took the opportunity to ask about some difficulties in his practice.
Chongxuan Chu Liang also patiently answered all questions, which benefited him a lot.
After talking about spiritual matters, the carriage had already driven far away.
Chong Xuan Sheng was going directly to Handan, the capital of Qi, to continue the unfinished business.
Jiang Wang thought about it and realized that after the battle with Jiang Wuyong, it was not suitable to appear in Handan at the moment.
Even if Jiang Wuyong didn't want to settle old scores, he would still be unable to help himself if he saw him hanging in front of him every day.
So he took the initiative and asked Chong Xuan Sheng: "Now that my sword is forged, it takes time to master the Taoist skills, and it will be difficult to break through after practicing for just a while. Sitting there is useless, is there anything I can do to help?"
The relationship between him and Chong Xuan Sheng is not just a simple client relationship. With Lian Que's cooperation, they have become even more tightly bound. It can be said that they share weal and woe.
Chongxuansheng was not polite to him either, and taking Jiang Wang to Handan at this time was more trouble than help.
He thought about it seriously and said: "There is one thing. Our Chongxuan family has a celestite vein in Yang State, which occasionally produces a portion of precious celestite. When we first obtained this vein, it was expected that there would be three more Ten years of mining. But somehow, it has only been mined for five years, and it seems to have been exhausted, and the production has dropped rapidly. This is one of the things I am taking over now. If you are interested, please run on my behalf. Let’s go to Yang Country and check out the situation.”
As a powerful country in the world, Qi State not only has a vast territory, but also has many vassal states in the world.
The so-called vassal state refers to a country that regards Qi as its suzerain state. Resources must be paid as tribute every year. Once Qi goes on an expedition, its vassal states must also organize certain armies to accompany them.
Correspondingly, Qi has the obligation to protect these countries from aggression by other countries.
Yang State is one of the vassal states of Qi State.
As a prominent family in Qi State, it is normal for the Chongxuan family to have industries in neighboring countries, especially in vassal countries like Yang State.
The output of a mineral vein that has been mined for thirty years has suddenly dropped. There must be something fishy in it.
Celestite is of course a good material for casting magical instruments, but it is only a companion mine of celestite and its output is not high. In the past, in the industry that Chong Xuan Sheng took over, the value may not be very high, but now with the Lianque line, the value is completely different.
In Chong Xuan Sheng's eyes, it was no longer an ore, but a standard magical weapon that had already been formed!
That's why he took this matter so seriously and asked Jiang Wang to handle it.
Of course, from another aspect, although Jiang Wang's current strength is pretty good, his role in the internal disputes in Qi State is not too great after all. His real value lies in his qualifications for magical powers and his future.
It's the right way to run away after gaining a reputation, accumulate strength in other places, realize your potential and then come back.
Jiang Wang agreed without much thought. Anyway, for him, Qi State and Yang State were all foreign countries, and there was no difference between them.
He agreed to help Zhongxuan Sheng fight, and he had nothing to say, so he just tried his best.
"That's right." Chong Xuansheng suddenly thought of something and said again: "When you go to Yang Country, you will pass through Fengxian County. I got the news that Zhang Yong from Fengxian County has been wiped out recently. You follow Isn’t Zhang Yong quite easy to talk to? You can drop by to express your condolences to him.”
The implication was to ask Jiang Wang to help recruit, but there was no need to say this explicitly, Jiang Wang would naturally understand.
"The family was wiped out?" Jiang Wang thought of the shy and reserved young man and couldn't help but frowned: "Have you found out who did it?"
Chong Xuan Sheng shook his head: "Not really."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
Who would harbor such hatred for the declining Fengxian Zhang family?
It just happened that Fengxian had a talent and had a chance to rise again, so he did such a tragic thing.
Just on the official road, one of the Chongxuan family's motorcade separated.
The wheels rolled, carrying Jiang Wang straight to Fengxian County.
