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 shameless."
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 Slaughter], and a bad 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 we talk about 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 territory, 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 territory, abandon many vassal states, and completely retreat to the southern region.
If the Jing State in the Central Region had not taken action at that time for the purpose of checking and 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, Chong Xuan Zun was inherently inferior.
But Chong Xuan Sheng's father's generation has almost no outstanding talents. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Chong Xuan Zun and Chong Xuan Sheng's generation to fight for the inheritance of the family head.
Chong Xuanzun's father is no exception. He still has a powerful position in the family, but it is absolutely impossible to go further. However, he has already thought clearly about it, and now he is focused on helping his son to rise to power.
Most of the elders in the family have ambiguous attitudes. The only one who clearly supports Zhongxuan Sheng is 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 didn't have any intuitive impression of the menacing power of the short, fat old man. 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. Your swordsmanship has some charm."
For a strong person 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 person of this level, so he took the opportunity to ask about some obstacles in his practice.
Chongxuan and Chu Liang also patiently answered each question one by one, 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.
Chong Xuan Sheng was not polite to him either, so he took Jiang Wang to Handan, which was more trouble than help.
He thought about it seriously and said: "There is one thing. My 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 estimated that there would be three more
Ten years of mining. But for some reason, 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 see what’s going on.”
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 is a country that regards Qi as its suzerain state. It must pay tribute every year. Once Qi goes on an expedition, the vassal states in various places must also organize a certain amount of troops 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 an associated mine of celestite, and the output is not high. In the past, in the industry that Chongxuan Sheng took over, its value may not be very great, but now it has
The value of Lianque's line 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 the inner palace of supernatural powers and in the future.
It's the right way to just build your reputation and then run away, 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 promised 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 news that Zhang Yong from Fengxian County has been killed recently. You and I
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 it 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 Xuansheng shook his head: "Not really."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully.
Who would harbor such hatred for the declining Fengxian Zhang family?
It just happened that when Fengxian showed up with a talent and had a chance to rise again, he did such a tragic thing.
Just on the official road, a car from the Chongxuan family's motorcade separated.
The wheels rolled, carrying Jiang Wang straight to Fengxian County.
