In the end, Yang Dong and Mingcheng negotiated a series of cooperation.
In a feudal dynasty like the Zhou Dynasty, the so-called power struggle was often a struggle for interests.
After Yang Dong took out Immortal Drunk, Mingcheng's attitude immediately improved a lot.
If before, Mingcheng's idea was just to establish a connection with the imperial court through Yang Dong, then now Mingcheng has changed his mind and believes that cooperation with the imperial court is of great importance.
After leaving Mingfu,
Yang Dong played with the Southern Xinjiang blood jade in his hand, but he was filled with emotions in his heart.
This piece of Southern Xinjiang blood jade was given to him by Mingcheng himself.
According to Mingcheng, the secret of Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade's ability to store the power of a warrior's energy and blood lies within it.
In fact,
Yang Dong had previously ordered people to investigate the situation of blood jade-related skills in Southern Xinjiang.
But unfortunately, no valuable clues have been found.
But unexpectedly, this time Mingcheng took the initiative to deliver it to him.
Yang Dong shook his head gently to suppress all the thoughts in his mind. He is now somewhat interested in the southern Xinjiang blood jade in his hand.
He divided a small amount of the energy and blood in his body into the Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade.
Soon, he felt the difference in this southern Xinjiang blood jade.
Under the exploration of this power of qi and blood, there is actually a set of operation methods of cultivation techniques hidden inside the entire southern border blood jade.
As long as Yang Dong is in the body and circulates the power of Qi and blood in this way, there will be some connection with the space inside the blood jade.
In this way, the blood jade can naturally store Yang Dong's energy and blood.
However... this method seems to be very practical. But Yang Dong discovered its drawbacks. That is, this set of operation methods will have a certain impact on the meridians in the body.
Although the impact is very small, over time, it will cause irreversible damage to the meridians.
Perhaps this is why those warriors who practice this technique will die suddenly after reaching a certain age.
"Boy, what are your next plans?"
"If there's nothing else, how about helping me open the restaurant first?"
Hong Laoliu chuckled, with a yearning look on his face.
Yang Dong glanced at him angrily and said:
"Nowadays, Jiangnan is a place where undercurrents are surging. Do you think your brothel can be opened until the Xu family's murder case is fully investigated?"
"Don't forget, the head of the famous family just mentioned that the Xu family plans to rely on this brothel to make a comeback."
"It's a pity that the success fell short."
Hong Laoliu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I don't understand business matters anyway. That's all, what do you plan to do next?"
Yang Dong pondered for a moment,
Currently, he has a few cards in his hand.
One was sent back by Jian Chuixue, a descendant of the Xu family. What happened to the Xu family before they voluntarily surrendered? Perhaps these descendants of the Xu family can tell them the truth.
As for the investigation of Zhaoling Village and the Blood Jade League, the breakthrough came from Liu Erzhuang.
After thinking about this clearly, Yang Dong said:
"Before we continue the investigation, let's go see the descendants of the Xu family."
…
Wuzhou City,
In an inconspicuous house,
Yang Dong sat face to face with a young man. There was only a pot of tea and two teacups on the table.
"I won't mention any more polite words. I just want to ask you, what happened to the Xu family?"
Upon hearing Yang Dong's question, a look of hesitation appeared on the young man's cheek.
He subconsciously looked at the old man beside him, but the old man just nodded slightly.
It can be said that he is the only living member of the Xu family now. And this old man, the head of the Xu family, was placed by his side and responsible for protecting his safety.
Seeing the old man nodding, the young man seemed to have made some kind of decision and said:
"Actually... I am the son of the head of the Xu family, and I am also the illegitimate son that he has been trying his best to hide."
After saying this, there was an obvious unnatural look on the young man's face.
But after just a moment, he adjusted his emotions and continued:
"Maybe it's because my identity has never been recognized by my family, so I was able to escape."
Speaking of this, he seemed to have remembered something terrible, and there was a look of horror on his face.
"Mr. Yang, actually, I suspect that someone has premeditated what happened to our Xu family."
"Because just a month before the accident in the Xu family, my father disguised himself and found me. He didn't explain his purpose, but just had dinner with me."
"After dinner, he said some strange words and left Uncle Xia with me, saying he wanted to protect my safety."
Yang Dong frowned slightly when he heard this.
It seems that the head of the Xu family has already guessed the fate of the Xu family.
Therefore, this dinner was probably at Tuogu.
"Do you still remember what your father said to you at that time?"
"Actually, I didn't say anything special."
There was a look of thought on the young man's face.
"But... there are a few words that I still haven't figured out."
"My father told me that the Xu family has reached the end of its strength and needs someone to choose a new path."
"They also said that I am the son of the head of the Xu family, so I should carry the important responsibility on my shoulders."
After saying this, the young man seemed to suddenly remember something and said:
"By the way, my father also said that Uncle Xia will tell me all the truth at the right time. After that, we will leave Wuzhou City."
"It's just that these days, I asked Uncle Xia many times when we would leave, but Uncle Xia kept silent."
After saying this, he turned his attention to Xia Bo.
Uncle Xia looked calm, but slowly stood up and walked over.
"Master, please go and take a rest first."
"These days, you have been frightened and frightened by the old slave, and you have never had a good rest."
"But... I don't think this kind of day will happen again in the future."
After saying this, he looked at Yang Dong meaningfully and said:
"I think Mr. Yang should be able to protect the safety of our young master, right?"
"It's natural!"
Yang Dong nodded slightly and said in a serious tone:
"Although the Xu family was guilty of the tax and silver case back then, it would not be exterminated. Besides, as long as the Xu family confesses, I will naturally give the Xu family their innocence."
After saying this, Yang Dong glanced in the direction of Uncle Xia again and said:
"Actually, you should also know in your heart that Jiangnan is Dazhou's territory after all."
"Although the four major families are the local emperors here, as long as His Majesty is still sitting on the dragon throne, they must bow their heads."
"If they don't want to be decent, the purpose of my visit this time is to help them behave decently."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xia suddenly stood up and saluted Yang Dong:
"Mr. Yang, the Xu family is willing to follow your majesty and Gong Yang!"
