Jiang Heng opened his eyes instantly and asked again with some certainty.
"Yes, Master." Xiaorou quickly replied.
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment. Da Yan valued literature over martial arts. Scholars had a relatively high status in Da Yan, but warriors were not that low. Especially recently, the Yan Dynasty has been having a bad year. There have been constant rebellions in various places, and there are even rumors of people on the border.
Suspected of instability, the warrior's status gradually improved at this time.
"Xiaorou, when does this martial arts competition usually start?"
Jiang Heng is most concerned about the reward. In fact, he is also very interested in this martial arts. After learning about the existence of monsters in this world, the idea of working as an official becomes more and more intense. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do things.
.What's more, people with a military background are generally military attaches, and military attaches have military power!
This is the only thing Jiang Heng is really interested in, and since there is a martial arts system in this world, the imperial court may also have a lot of martial arts secrets. If you become a member of the imperial court, you may not get any benefits.
"Well, Master, it's usually around mid-July." Xiaorou frowned and thought carefully before confirming.
Mid July.
There's still plenty of time!
Jiang Heng nodded slightly. Of course, this martial arts examination was a way to seek an official career, but he secretly decided to discuss it with his father later to see what he really thought.
Now Jiang Heng's thinking has changed. He used to think that the Jiang family's escort business was very good. After knowing that this world is full of evil spirits, Jiang Heng is very yearning for strength, and he is eager to get anything that can improve his strength. The imperial court
In his opinion, his official position is just a help.
If there is a better way, of course he would prefer it!
Jiang Heng believed that his father would call him over soon to discuss it in detail.
As expected, after almost a quarter of an hour, a man came outside the door and talked to Laifu for a while, before Laifu came directly in to report.
"Master, I want you to come over."
Jiang Heng nodded without any surprise. He was probably thinking about the future of the Jiang family.
After walking through the long corridor and going around several small courtyards, we arrived at the study.
At this time, Jiang Erhai was the only one looking at the account books. Now that his uncle was dead, all the tedious things at home fell on him.
"Dad! Did you call me?"
"Heng'er, you're here, come and sit down!"
Jiang Heng took the opportunity to sit across from Jiang Erhai, wondering what Jiang Erhai would plan.
Jiang Erhai was not in a hurry to say anything, but poured the freshly boiled tea for himself and Jiang Heng, and then said in deep thought, "Heng'er, your recent changes really impress me.
!”
"You really hid your clumsiness in the past, and your qualifications are far inferior to mine!" Jiang Erhai sighed deeply.
"No, my child's achievements are all under the influence of my father and the masters in the house." Jiang Heng, not knowing what his old man was planning, hurriedly excused himself.
"You don't need to be humble. I can't see through your strength now. Since you are so talented, Heng'er, becoming a father can't delay you. I originally wanted you to inherit our Jiang family's legacy, even if you don't become a bodyguard in the end.
Business can also make you rich and prosperous for a lifetime. But now you have also seen that the world is becoming more and more uneven..."
Jiang Erhai looked very helpless and a little lonely. He had been working as a bodyguard all his life. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult in today's world.
In just a few months, the Escort Bureau has suffered huge losses. Coupled with the sudden change in the mansion, nearly a hundred people have been lost.
With such a huge loss, Brother Death's beards have directly spent all the profits of the past two years. If this continues, the entire family will be wiped out in a few years.
People of Jiang Erhai's level simply can't understand why sneakers have appeared so frequently since this year, which has increased several times compared to previous years.
Although we have encountered such weird and evil things in the past years, it is good to only encounter them once a year.
"Dad, what are you going to do next?" Jiang Heng asked.
Jiang Erhai looked at Jiang Heng, took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Originally, I wanted you to participate in the martial arts competition. With Heng'er's martial arts qualifications, I thought that even if you couldn't win the top prize in martial arts, you could still win."
An official and a half-job. When you come out, you will be a military attache and have real power. When the time comes, our Jiang family will also be able to benefit a lot."
Hearing this, Jiang Heng also nodded secretly. It seemed that his cheap father had also thought of the same thing as him.
"But......"
Jiang Erhai paused for a moment and then sighed.
"But for the martial arts examination, according to our rules in Dayan, auditions must be held in the prefectural city. This is not a problem. However, after being selected, you must go to the prefecture city, and then to the capital. This journey is thousands of miles away, and today's world is not
Taiping, I'm afraid it will be a common occurrence to encounter sneaky and weird things on the road. In previous years, of course there is no need to be careful, but..."
Jiang Erhai said, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Jiang Heng also suddenly realized that it was true that strange things happened frequently in a small place like Hengjiang County, not to mention that other places in the entire Dayan Land were not much better than Hengjiang County.
"But this is not a solution. Now the Hengjiang County officials have too much time to take care of themselves. If something like this happens again, our Jiang government will probably..." Jiang Heng frowned and expressed his inner thoughts.
In fact, Jiang Heng has been worried about this issue. After all, the Hengjiang County government does not have enough control and the ability to protect one party. It is not even as strong as the Jiang government. If this kind of thing happens again, I am afraid that the Jiang family will have to solve it by themselves.
Although Jiang Heng still has a little confidence in his own strength, he doesn't really think that he can cope with all difficulties now. Sneaky is usually so difficult to deal with, and if he encounters something more powerful than Sneaky, he will probably be very fierce.
Too much luck.
Mainly because of the problem of vision, now Jiang Heng is eager to get in touch with the large group of warriors and understand the general real situation of the world, instead of sitting in a corner of Hengjiang County and observing the sky.
"Well, Heng'er, what you are thinking is not unreasonable. So I discussed it with your third uncle for a while. We still have a property in Fucheng, and we are thinking about whether to move to Fucheng and settle down. And there is Fucheng.
Martial arts is naturally more prosperous than ours in Hengjiang County. Heng'er, you can also have access to higher-level martial arts secrets."
After Jiang Erhai finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Besides, I have already inquired about it. There are many Jianghu forces in Fucheng. Your third uncle and I have also made good friends with several Jianghu forces. In
It’s more convenient over there whether you want to seek refuge with someone else or continue working in the escort business.”
Hearing this, Jiang Heng nodded slightly. Although the martial arts exam was good, he also knew his situation. Maybe it would be good to establish a foothold in Fucheng first, and then wait and see.
