Chapter 69 Life is really... (Happy New Year everyone!)
On the way back to the inn, Shuanzi kept talking to Xiaoxiao.
"Ha, there are so many people in the city, huh?"
"The building is really high."
"Watch your step!"
"Little girl, you really know how to walk."
He was a little helpless and clumsy, but because of this clumsiness, he showed a bit of sincerity.
Xiaoxiao finally replied: "Thank you, you can walk pretty well too."
"Ha, ha!" Shuanzi said happily: "I have never gone shopping with a girl as beautiful as you. No, I have never gone shopping with a girl..."
"We are not shopping, we are going back to the inn."
"I've never been back to an inn with a girl!"
"..."
Xiaoxiao hugged a piece of cloth, looked down at the road, and stopped talking.
Shuanzi could only look left and right, pretending that nothing had happened and the atmosphere was not awkward.
…
After leaving the small courtyard, Jiang Wang did not wander around the city anymore, but went directly back to the inn.
During the chat with Xi Zichu, he realized something belatedly.
After he got the famous instrument Sauvignon Blanc, Chongxuansheng asked him to come to Qingyang Town, probably not just for the lapis lazuli vein, but to take over the Chongxuan family's business in the entire Yang Kingdom.
This was the resource support given by the family after Chongxuan Sheng took a big step in the succession competition. However, there were still too few people around him who could really use it.
Hu's mine is only the first step in Jiang Wangyang's journey. Helping Chongxuansheng successfully control the Chongxuan family's resources in Yangguo and providing further support for his competition with Chongxuanzun is Chongxuansheng's ultimate goal.
Of course, if Jiang Wang doesn't handle it well and proves that he doesn't have the talent in this area, Zhong Xuansheng probably won't leave the rest to him.
This is very rare for Jiang Wang. Whether he is facing the White Bone Road or Zhuang Guo, he has the need to form his own force. This is a good opportunity for experience. Even further, as long as he does things well, he will be able to regain his strength.
Xuan Sheng won't mind if he uses his shell to lay eggs.
The premise of all this lies in the Hu's mine itself.
He wanted to resolve this matter not to give Chongxuansheng an answer, but to give Chongxuansheng a reason to convince the rest of the Chongxuan family.
Let Shuanzi drive the car and load the purchased cloth, and the three of them left the city directly and rushed to the mine.
The only problem when leaving the city at this time is safety.
But with Jiang Wang, an extraordinary monk, there is no need to think about it.
The plan to stay in Jiacheng for one day was cancelled. Xiaoxiao naturally had no objection, but Shuanzi was a little disappointed.
While driving, he asked, "Master Dugu, why don't you live in the city?"
Jiang Wang left suddenly before without telling them what to do.
At this time, he just said casually: "There is nothing special in Jiacheng."
As for the fact that his purpose of coming to Jiacheng has been achieved, there is no need to explain it to Shuanzi.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and meditated all the way, and the carriage returned to the mining area calmly.
…
After unloading all the cloth in the car back to Jiang Wang's yard, Shuanzi drove the car to Manager Hu to report.
Xiaoxiao touched these high-quality cloths, going back and forth, and couldn't put them down.
Jiang Wang went directly into the bedroom and started doing today's evening class.
After getting familiar with all the Taoist techniques, I entered the Taixu Illusion Realm and fought three matches. I won all three matches.
After exiting and reviewing for a while, I began to think about the current problem of this celestite vein.
Now that the Xi family has been ruled out for the time being, things will be much easier to handle.
The remaining directions are nothing more than the extraordinary monks stationed here and the Hu family in Qingyang Town.
As for the specific incident, there are three breakthroughs.
One is that a worker saw a sheep in the mine and later left. The other is that the monk stationed in the mine had a fight with a mysterious man who broke into the mining area at night and later left. The last one is what Shuanzi said about the murder of Hu Shaomeng, the son of the pavilion director Hu You.
.
I wrote these analyzes on paper one by one, read them for a while, then lit a flame and burned them all.
…
It's quiet at night.
Jiang Wang jumped out of the window without making a sound.
With his current level of cultivation, no one in Hu's mine would be able to discover his whereabouts.
Leave the mining area and run all the way to Qingyang Town.
It is not difficult to find the pavilion chief's house, it is the most magnificent one in the whole town.
It was completely silent at this time, and most of the townspeople had fallen asleep.
Hu Youneng must be the actual operator of the Chongxuan clan's Jiacheng mine, so he must be capable. Jiang Wang will not underestimate him.
What he has learned now is indeed no satisfactory concealment technique, so he simply jumps onto the roof with his physical strength, completely relying on the control of his body to make no sound.
The roof of Hu's house was covered with green tiles, and Jiang Wang jumped down like a leaf falling.
I found the main house, but heard a faint sound.
Jiang Wang estimated the position, slowly pulled out a piece of green tile, looked down, and immediately turned his eyes.
A pile of greasy white fat almost blinded his eyes.
Now I could hear it clearly, and the faint sound was clearly the creaking of the bed.
Jiang Wang held his breath and concentrated.
After a while, the sound stopped.
Then there was a long period of rustling.
Jiang Wang heard an old man's voice saying: "Don't come over tomorrow, Shao Meng is coming back."
This person should be Hu You, the pavilion chief of Qingyang Town.
Then a female voice complained: "Your wife has been dead for eight years, isn't it normal for her to renew her relationship? Why do we always have to be secretive? Can we hide from him for the rest of our lives?"
Hu You advised: "Just be patient. He is practicing outside and doesn't always come back."
"Then why did you come back this time?"
"Don't ask about this matter. It will do no good if you find out."
The woman was probably angry: "You just told me to be patient and told me not to ask. Why don't you ask your son to be patient and stop him from calling me mother?"
"He has been a wild man since he was a child. Now he has learned another skill. Do you dare to offend him?"
The woman's voice suddenly became softer, and she just complained: "I've never heard of me being afraid of my son."
"Oh. When he leaves, I will make it up to you."
…
Jiang Wang listened to the corner for a long time, but couldn't hear anything else useful.
The only news we got was that Hu Shaomeng's father, Hu You, secretly found a stepmother for him, but because of Hu Shaomeng's temper, he did not dare to openly marry her.
What is this?
He carefully stuffed the tiles back and then jumped away.
Originally, he planned to search Hu Shaomeng's room tonight, but thinking about it, since Hu Shaomeng hasn't been back for a long time, there won't be any useful clues about his residence.
It's better to wait until he comes back.
Judging from what Hu You said, it only happened in the past two days.
On the way back to the mine, I was blown by the summer night wind.
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of a question.
Xi Zichu and Hu Shaomeng were both practicing in other places. Why did they come back during this time? Is it just a coincidence?
…
With something on his mind and seeing that he was about to reach the small courtyard, Jiang Wang's heart moved and he deliberately changed direction and pretended to be walking out.
"Brother Xiang, are you coming out to admire the moon too?"
He greeted the down-and-out uncle who was wandering over.
I don’t know how hard this uncle named Xiang wanders around all day long.
The man raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Wang.
"Alas." He sighed.
"..." Jiang Wang couldn't help but said: "Can I ask, why do you always sigh?"
"Don't you think..." He yawned and said feebly, "Isn't this kind of life boring?"
"...I just got here."
"Oh, believe me. We have nothing to achieve in this life. Just endure it like this, survive today and survive tomorrow. Day after day, year after year, until we grow old, die, be buried by the loess, and turn into loess.
."
He drooped his eyelids: "Life is really meaningless."
Jiang Wang is not the kind of passionate young man who wants to take others on fire all the time.
"I remembered I still had one more night to sleep."
Without saying a word, he turned around and returned to his yard. "Farewell."
