After several conversations, Zhao Chun felt that Wu Zheng was really a person.
Among the more than ten chief stewards, Wu Zheng was the one most trusted by former governor Chen Yuanliang, and it was for this reason that he secured his position as the top steward. Before this trip, in order to understand the situation in Jiuwang Ridge, Zhao Shun also went to visit Chen Yuanliang, who had just returned to the clan.
This person is not an ordinary disciple. His surname is Chen, but he actually comes from the Chen family of Yukang, which is the family that protected Shi Xiangyuan back then. There is a powerful Dongxu in the family, and there are also many monks in the spiritual realm. In Zhaoyan, the Chen family is not a simple surname.
The third-generation master Taiyi Jinxian, whose real name is Chen Hengge, has only one true disciple, and only two Taoist boys who follow him at all times. And these two Taoist boys eventually became immortals. One of them, named Chen Liuzhen, later became the fourth generation head, and the other Taoist boy named Chen Qufeng was the ancestor of the Chen family in Yukang today.
When Taiyi Jinxian was in power, she dominated the country and dominated all directions. She also felt that it was difficult to pass on her legacy, so she never accepted a disciple. Even though the two Taoist boys the sect found for her were extremely qualified, she He never relented, and when Tianmen called him to go, he accepted Chu Yun and accepted him.
However, although these two Taoist boys did not have the name of disciples, they actually received careful guidance from Taiyi Jinxian. In order to prevent their disciples from thinking differently, the fourth generation master had no disciples and no heirs until he ascended. However, he heard that the Yukang Chen family Among them, Shang still retained the sword manual passed down from his ancestors, and it is said that it has some connection with Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Zhao Chun, who was practicing Taiyi Geng Jin swordsmanship, was even more curious about this. He wanted to find an opportunity to go and pay a visit, but he was sent directly to Jiuwang Ridge by a talisman.
As for Chen Yuanliang, although he is indeed a descendant of the Yukang Chen family, he is not the main branch, but is actually a branch of the bloodline. He has been promoted to the true infant realm for more than a thousand years, and has been unable to break through the external form, so he thought of going to a remote place. Practicing hard on the ground can also distract your mind in order to break through the shackles.
Therefore, he rarely interfered in matters in the mine, and almost never asked about it. When Zhao Chun visited him, he only sorted out some of the interpersonal connections in the governor's office, and not much else was known.
If you want to know something about the Nishan Sect, you have to start with people like Wu Zheng who have lived here since childhood.
He seemed to be groveling, trying to flatter Zhao Shun and others, but he was so sincere that no one felt that he was being flattered deliberately. He was so low and not despicable, and others would not be so humble in the first place. He was underestimated. As Chen Yuanliang revealed, when he was stationed at Jiu Wangling, Wu Zheng was actually responsible for all matters, big and small. There were very few troubles and the people under him were extremely peaceful. This shows that Wu Zheng does have some ability and can coordinate with others.
The purpose of Zhao Shun's trip was not to garrison the mine, so she did not want to get involved rashly. If Wu Zheng had such ability, she should delegate power to him, so as not to cause chaos in the mine and cause trouble.
When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, they were immediately greeted by attendants. Since a new official had taken office, Wu Zheng and other stewards also specially prepared a sumptuous banquet for the purpose of welcoming the wind and washing away the dust. Zhao Chun then did his duty and sat directly at the main seat. He also invited Liu Xuan, Shen Lie and others to take their seats one by one. Only then did Wu Zheng call the stewards to come up to see someone.
She only remembered her face and name, but didn't pay much attention to the rest. Wu Zheng suddenly clapped his hands amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, and saw a rather young boy walking out of the queue holding a mahogany box. He had a smile on his face and a pair of slender eyes. The round eyes were shining. At this moment, he leaned down slightly and gently lifted up the wooden box. First, a few rays of magical light overflowed from it, and then what was revealed were more than a dozen ores with different shapes.
Although the varieties are not as precious as those Zhao Shun usually sees, they are all in good condition and in excellent condition. They must have worked hard during the digging and carefully selected them before they were presented to her.
Zhao Shun knew this well, and saw that under each ore, there was a brocade bag embroidered with Ruyi patterns of the same color, and he knew that there were more spiritual minerals in the brocade bag. The treasure that Wu Zheng really wanted to offer, There must be more than meets the eye.
Seeing Zhao Shun's expression as usual and not very surprised by the ore, Wu Zheng also hesitated a little. He didn't know whether the other party was dissatisfied or disliked the bribery with ore. If it was the latter, he would have to make other preparations. .
Fortunately, Zhao Chun raised his eyes and put away the mahogany box with a wave of his hand. He nodded slightly to Wu Zheng and others and said with a smile: "There are many mines in Jiuwangling, so things are complicated. I am not good at managing general affairs." , I still need to take more care of the matters in the mine. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me to deal with it. If there are other issues, you can discuss and resolve them yourself.
"The only thing is, you are never allowed to do anything rebellious to the sect. If you violate it, I will suppress it with an iron fist without mercy!"
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Wu Zheng and others felt happy, and when they saw Zhao Chun's eyes stern and his cold and hard aura swept across the hall, some of them began to fight.
Although this new supervisor talks about delegating power, in terms of temperament, he is actually much tougher than the previous one. You should be more careful when working under her.
Wu Zheng hurriedly prostrated himself, not daring to express his loyalty again. Seeing that Zhao Wan's expression gradually softened, he dared to call people forward to spread the dishes.
Zhao Shun was not in the habit of being served by others. She just waved her right hand and took the chopsticks herself. After eating a few mouthfuls of the delicacies, she put the chopsticks down and asked as if unintentionally: "I heard that Xiang Xiang After crossing the Yangshui River in the south, we will reach Jingshan Guixiao?"
Wu Zheng was waiting nearby and didn't dare to eat at all. Now he stood up from his seat after hearing the words and responded eagerly: "Supervisor, after crossing the Yangshui River, we have to climb over Luofeng Mountain to reach Jingshan Guixiao." , this mountain range is quite high, and the governor can see it from Jiuwang Ridge."
"Luo Feng Mountain is also my territory, Zhaoyan?"
"That's not true," Wu Zheng shook his head, "The Shang Sect's territory ends as far south as the Yangshui River. If it goes further south, it should be owned by the three sects on Luo Feng Mountain."
Zhao Chun nodded thoughtfully, but the young man who had just offered the ore blinked, half-hunched over and smiled: "Do you want to know about the three Luo Feng sects, Supervisor?"
"Bold!" Wu Zheng shouted out quickly when he saw this, trying to pull the young man behind him, "Don't be rude when asking a supervisor's question!" Then he wanted to plead guilty to Zhao Shen.
"It doesn't matter, let him tell you." Zhao Chun caught a glimpse of the cunning light in his eyes, and saw that although Wu Zheng was asking for forgiveness, he actually meant to protect him, and he immediately understood that there might be some relationship between the two.
Upon hearing Zhao Chun's permission, Wu Hua immediately broke free from his father's hands and replied loudly: "There are three sects on Naluofeng Mountain, namely Hanguangguan, Yuluo Sect and Nishan Sect. Among them, Nishan Sect is the most powerful. It is the largest, followed by Yu Luo Sect, and Han Guang Guan ranks at the bottom of the three sects."
Zhao Shun nodded, thinking that this was indeed the news he had learned.
