Looking back at the distant city wall of Chongzhou Mansion, Wu Chong felt inexplicably sad.
After being appointed as an official, no one saw him off when he left.
This was all done collectively, and it was a complete failure.
'If it were in the Twenty-eight Prefectures, at least Lianxing would come to see me off.' Wu Chong's mind flashed through the only person he could count as a relative since he came to this world.
But, I still don’t know if I can go back.
The First Demon Forest, the holy temple where demons worship. There are too many things hidden there. At this stage, he can't even understand it even if he goes back, let alone returns. Maybe he can only understand it when he reaches a higher level in the future.
Keep it secret.
Putting down the curtain, Wu Chong closed his eyes and meditated.
This carriage belongs to the post station and can be requisitioned by officials who are out of town. The coachman who drives the carriage is from the post station. For generations, they have been driving horses for the post station.
Walked for half a day.
When they were about to leave the boundary of Chongzhou Prefecture, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's up?"
"Sir, there is someone in front of you to see you off."
The coachman replied cautiously.
Wu Chong was a little surprised, but he still got off the carriage.
There is a pavilion at the boundary monument in front, which is a farewell pavilion built by the state capital. Next to it are some poems left by literati and poets.
There was a gorgeous white carriage parked next to the stagnation. Qu Feiyan, dressed in rich clothes, was standing there, smiling and waving to Wu Chong. Not far from her, there was someone Wu Chong didn't expect.
, it was Ma Runan, his deputy who was promoted when he was in black.
A woman who is incompatible with those old officials, I don’t know how she was deceived by Yue Qun into going to a brothel to treat him to dinner.
"Brother Wu, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"grown ups!"
The two of them took a few steps forward at the same time.
In the carriage behind, there were some guards from the Wangjiang Sword Sect to protect Qu Feiyan, but none of these people came close.
"Why are you here?"
He was still lamenting that no one saw him off, but not long after, two people came. Qu Feiyan was not unexpected, but Ma Runan was something Wu Chong didn't expect, because the two had no personal friendship, it was just a simple working relationship.
In his eyes, Ma Runan is just a relatively easy-to-use tool man.
"Don't you have to go to work today?"
Wu Chong glanced at Qu Feiyan, and then his eyes fell on Ma Runan.
"I've left the black clothes."
Ma Runan responded respectfully, and his attitude was exactly the same as when Wu Chong was still Dutong, and it did not change at all because of his resignation.
"Why?"
Wu Chong was a little surprised.
Ma Runan is no longer an ordinary headhunter in Black Clothes. Normally, he will not leave his job in this kind of position.
"Please take me in, sir. I will never betray you again."
Ma Runan replied cautiously.
This is a stubborn girl. She told Wu Chong last time that she would never betray her again, so she really didn’t betray her. In fact, when he faced Hua Chen for the first time, Wu Chong didn’t even pay attention to Ma Runan’s withdrawal.
Well, given the situation at that time, it was useless for him to stay. Not to mention that when this girl left, she stupidly came up to say goodbye to him, but with this behavior, if Hua Chen was still alive, she would be punished
.
Later, Wu Chong re-enabled her because of this consideration. At least someone like Ma Runan would not betray him silently. He didn't expect that such a small favor would win the other party's die-hard loyalty.
"Your family doesn't object?"
"I am alone, my parents are gone."
Looking at this stubborn girl, Wu Chong finally agreed to her.
When you go to a new place and are short of manpower, it will be much more convenient to have such a familiar person by your side.
"Brother Wu, I can't go there with you."
After the two of them finished speaking, Qu Feiyan spoke.
This little girl is still as sensible as ever, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Stay well in Chongzhou Mansion. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, ask someone to send me a message." Wu Chong reached out skillfully and touched Qu Feiyan's head.
Although this little girl tries hard to pretend to be an adult.
But Wu Chong feels that every age group has its own way of living. If you mature too early, you will lose a lot.
Had a simple meal.
The group of people said goodbye. They got back on the carriage and continued to drive towards the new place. The difference was that this time there was one more person in the car...
Five days later.
The carriage finally entered the territory of Wanjian City after the official route was followed.
Unlike the previous Chongzhou Mansion, the power of the government in Chongzhou Mansion is the strongest, and there are basically no well-established Jianghu sects behind the scenes. But here in Wanjian City, the power of the government is very weak, and the most powerful one here is Mingjian Villa.
Before Mozhou was changed to Daozhou, Mingjian Villa already existed. This is a famous sect that has been passed down for more than three hundred years. Even Wangjiang Sword Sect and Fuwei Escort Agency are here.
Jianshan Villa gave way.
After the demon was defeated, Mingjian Villa led the crowd to surrender, received Daqi's reward, and became a major sect recognized and registered by the Zhenwu Sect.
The position that Wu Chong came to take over was the owner of Jianshan Villa!
Strange to say, most of these local forces should be inherited from the family, but this Sword Villa has gone in the opposite direction. The previous owners of the Famous Sword Villa were all produced by martial arts competitions, and they can become
The owner of the village, whether in terms of fame or force, is a first-rate figure in the Demon State.
Wu Chong was the first to break this common sense.
He, the owner of the village, has little reputation in the Demon State, and no one has ever seen his martial arts. He is considered an official parachute officer.
"This seat is not easy to sit in."
Wu Chong looked at the information on Famous Sword Villa in his hand and had a general understanding of the new force he was about to take over.
There will definitely be trouble inside, but this is a step he must take.
Before he has the strength to overthrow Daqi, he still needs to act according to the rules set by the other party. Otherwise, collecting foundation building materials will be a problem. Calculated according to the setting of energy conservation, the materials needed for the subsequent pill formation will definitely be more difficult to find.
, without the support of forces, just finding the location of those materials will be a problem.
The carriage drove into Wanjian City.
Someone has already arranged a restaurant in the city, and the opening is in full swing. Under such circumstances, no matter what the following people think, whether they are convinced or not, they must show their outward attitude.
"Master, you are here. From now on, our Mingjian Villa will have a backbone."
At the reception banquet, the group took turns toasting wine.
The speaker was a fat man with a flattering smile on his face. This man's name was Bao Cheng, nicknamed 'the shopkeeper'. He was the external manager of Mingjian Villa and one of Wu Chong's subordinates in the future.
After having enough wine and food, Wu Chong put down his wine glass and spoke.
"Thank you for your compliments, but Wu is busy with official duties, so we can discuss other matters after I take over as the owner of the village."
Are you just trying to get things done with this little sugar-coated bullet? Don’t you think Mr. Wu has never seen the world before?
"The owner of the village is so tired from traveling and traveling, why don't you take a good rest? The villa can't be run there, so it doesn't matter if you have it one day earlier or one day later."
Shopkeeper Bao stood up quickly.
"As for official matters, sir, you don't have to worry. I've already asked people to take stock of the accounts. I just wait for you to go there tomorrow morning, and those dogs will prepare everything."
While talking, shopkeeper Bao poured another glass of wine for Wu Chong, and also sent two geishas in. Even Ma Runan, a female subordinate, arranged a few "gongzi" there. This attitude made Ma Runan, who had never seen the world,
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
"Don't worry, you can take me back to the villa first. After all, that will be my territory from now on." Wu Chong said calmly.
These old fritters regard him as a fool. If we really follow their lead, who will have the final say in the future of Mingjian Villa will be a problem.
He, Mr. Wu, likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he doesn't like to be taken advantage of.
