Yanluoshan is not far from Jiujiang, and we arrived there in one day. In several large cities in the Chu Kingdom, including Yingdu, Shouchun, Yangzhou, Chengfu, and Jiujiang, including Suicheng, the largest of the vassal states, the academy has set up school buildings and divided the town into one town. Speaking of which, Jiujiang should be the smallest among them.
The number of households is just over 6,000, the population is less than 30,000, and the city is a lot smaller than Yangzhou, but its location is important and it is the center of Chu State's control of the river.
Wu Sheng had seen Jiujiang Zhengzheng twice, and he could only admit it once, when he was encircling and suppressing Shen Douke in the south of Kuaiji. At that time, it was just a one-on-one meeting and no words had been spoken, so the two sides were not familiar with each other.
But since they are both walking, at least from a general perspective, they should be naturally familiar with each other. In fact, this was exactly the case. Lian Zheng greeted him with a smile on his face. Wu Sheng said he was presumptuous and kept apologizing. The two parties entered the Jiujiang Academy very acquainted.
The guests and hosts sat down, fragrant tea was served, and the tea was saluted: "I heard that Sun Xingxing took over Yangzhou, and I originally wanted to go to congratulate him in person, but I heard that Xingxing went to Linzi again to study alchemy at the Alchemist Hall, so I delayed it. Today, Sun Xingxing But to come to this humble house makes me ashamed."
Wu Sheng apologized: "What did Lian Xingxing say? I, as a junior, should have come to visit the senior and ask for advice. It's just because when I entered the alchemy master's hall to learn alchemy, the great alchemist saw that I had some talent, so he I have been studying for a long time, so I delay, so I hope you will forgive me."
It wasn't that Wu Sheng was showing off deliberately, it was just that the two of us were not familiar with each other and took the opportunity to let him know - I am not only an alchemist, but I also have someone behind my back.
Lian Zheng sipped his tea and smiled: "You're welcome, you're welcome, please!"
Wu Sheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then sat next to Lian Zheng and nodded: "Okay...hehe."
After drinking, he took out a box from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it over: "I recently had an experience. I have made a lot of progress in the alchemy path. I have refined a few elixirs. Please go and taste them. If you have any If you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to give me your advice so that Sun can improve it and refine elixirs of better quality for our comrades.”
Lian Zheng raised his eyebrows and opened it with a smile. He saw that inside the box were a water-avoiding elixir, a Fenmai elixir, and a dragon-tiger golden elixir. They were not many in number, but they were all top-grade elixirs. This gift was quite considerable. Not bad, the key point is that Wu Sheng’s words were nice and comfortable to hold, so he accepted it immediately: “Thank you Sun Xingxing, I don’t dare to say anything about tasting and teaching, so let’s learn about Sun Xingxing’s alchemy, haha.”
After putting away the things, Wu Sheng was able to speak: "To be honest, I passed through Jiujiang on this trip. Firstly, I came to pay a visit. Secondly, I went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Sun Mou happened to have something to ask for."
Lian Zheng nodded: "Please speak."
Wu Sheng said: "Lian Xingxing may have heard that Sun came from the wilderness and was recommended by the old Song Xingxing, and he entered the palace on the right path."
Lian Zheng sighed: "It's a pity Song Xingxing, I still admire him very much."
Wu Sheng said: "Yes, Song Xingxing is a noble person in Sun's life. Without Song Xingxing, Sun might still be struggling in the wilderness, or he might have been killed by insects. Therefore, Sun has no respect for those who worked together in the wilderness. Fellow Taoist, we have a lot of love, after all we have been through thick and thin together."
Lian Zheng nodded and said: "It is indeed rare for Sun Xingxing to not forget the past."
Wu Sheng sighed: "Sun is such a person. I have no choice but to suffer from it sometimes. I am ashamed to say that the day before yesterday, an old friend of Manhuang asked me to come forward to rescue the three Zhufengshan brothers, but Sun could not do it. I had no choice but to shamelessly ask for mercy from Lian Xingxing. I heard that the three brothers had misbehaved and acted recklessly in Shangyong, and they had offended Lian Xingxing. Sun Mou is here to apologize on behalf of Lian Xingxing. Please also be kind to Lian Xingxing. After being punished, the person can be released. I believe they have learned this lesson and learned how powerful it is. They will act more cautiously in the future and curb the bad habits developed in the wilderness... Even walking with confidence, If they hurt the brothers in Jiujiang Academy, I will make the decision and ask them to pay ten times the cost of the soup and medicine, and I will never let the brothers in Jiujiang Academy suffer!"
Lian Zheng blinked, was stunned for a moment, coughed dryly and said, "Well...it's not that I'm not showing mercy, it's just that things here are a little strange."
Wu Sheng asked: "Dare you ask for details?"
Lian Zheng asked back: "I wonder if the three people from Zhu Fengshan are familiar with Sun Xingxing?"
Wu Sheng felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his question, and quickly clarified: "As I said, it was asked by a friend of Sun's in the wilderness. I am not familiar with it myself."
Lian Zheng sighed: "That's it for the others. Sun Xingxing stepped forward and wanted to release them anyway. But the three of them are no longer in Jiujiang. They were sent to Shouchun last night."
Wu Sheng frowned: "Why are you sent to Shouchun again?"
Lian Zheng said: "To be honest, I did it deliberately by arresting the three people in Zhufengshan. It was not their recklessness. This was Jingtai's intention. Jingtai sent me a letter saying that these three people were involved in a secret case. Please ask me Please help each other, but due to the circumstances of the case, Shouchun Academy cannot come forward publicly, so I, Jiujiang Academy, take action, please don't blame Sun Xingxing."
Jingtai was born in Shouchun. Like Lian Zheng, Wu Sheng also had a relationship with him. They also met him when they rounded up Shen Douke, but they had no interaction with him. It was really unexpected that the three Wei Shumang brothers were arrested in Shangyong and it was his handiwork.
Wu Sheng inquired carefully: "I see... but I don't know what the three of them committed? I wonder if I can tell them. I can give an explanation to my old friend when I get back."
Lian Zheng said: "I don't know about this. It's a secret case. Jingtai didn't tell me, so I can't ask. His people, the three brothers of the Yuan family, have been waiting at my Jiujiang Academy. As soon as they arrived last night, they took them away by boat. Let’s go. Speaking of which, I just returned to Jiujiang last night.”
After Wu Sheng thanked him, he left the Jiujiang Academy. Master Dongsun came up to him and asked what was going on. After hearing this, he was a little bit incredulous: "Why did his three brothers violate the academy's ban? I have never heard of it. In the past two years, Wei Zi and I often communicate with each other and have a close relationship. He also knows that you are traveling in Yangzhou. If such a thing happens, he will definitely not hide it and will definitely try to eliminate the hidden danger in advance."
Wu Sheng thought for a while and asked, "He has frequent contacts with you. Who knows about this?"
Master Dongsun understood immediately: "That's not the case. Hasn't the relationship between me and the layman been cleared up a long time ago? Besides, we can trust Weizi's character and he will never spread it everywhere."
Wu Sheng shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid that thieves are thinking about me. It's not that easy to really clear my name. I'm just afraid of pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud. What can't be asked under severe torture? Of course, that's not the case. Say it’s coming for you and me, but prepare for the worst.”
Master Dongsun thought about it: "Just tell me, layman, what should I do? Are the three brothers of the Yuan family the three so-called Shouchun Three Masters? I have heard that they are just an ordinary god-refiner and two senior qi-refiners. We took a boat last night, and we probably haven’t arrived in Shouchun yet today, so we robbed him like a dog!"
