"It's absolutely true. I've asked many times, so there's absolutely no mistake.”Ouyang Lishan said confidently. Second Brother Jiang looked carefully again. He didn't expect there to be an assassin beside him. Just based on this, Second Brother Jiang already knew the whereabouts of Zang Zifang and the others. Although Second Brother Jiang had never worked on a case before, he was simply a prophet.
"Fengchang, what should we do next?”Lord E asked seriously. At this moment, Lord E was already treating Second Brother Jiang like a god. Elder Jiang said calmly,"The news said that Zang Zifang was a nationalistic youth who loved to share his feelings with the world's talented people. He had thoughts of worrying about the country and the people, but he often misread the route. He originally had a considerable amount of wealth, but he was too forthright and spent money like dirt. Therefore, he squandered quickly and soon became poor. He relied on sponsors to survive, and his hot blood often spurted out in the wrong places. He originally wanted to do something big, but his original group of dog meat friends all ran away in fear when they heard about it. This foolish nationalistic youth often appeared in Ying Du with a group of new nationalistic youths. He was once again worried about the country and the people. Although he had never been to the high court, his ambition was frighteningly high. He even wanted to work for the welfare of all mankind! Such a person was a treasure to some people with ulterior motives! Why? Was it useful? As long as you give him an ideal, you can paint a cake and put it there. You will be a suicide squad regardless of the cost. However, you never thought that those who want to harm you will always tell you that I am doing this for your own good! After capturing this clown, the rest of them would probably return to Chu.”Marquis E also felt that it was reasonable." Since that's the case, we'll head to Ying Du tomorrow to investigate and eliminate the remaining evil.”
As the two of them were talking, Ouyang Lishan took out a wine pot and filled Second Brother Jiang's cup with sake."You two, since your matter has been settled, I wonder if you can put in a good word in front of His Majesty and exempt my family from punishment.”Ouyang Lishan said very attentively. Second Elder Jiang pretended to be happy." Don't worry, Prefectural Governor. Nothing will happen to you. Emperor Xin has been the Holy Lord for thousands of years, and we both know that he is very capable. His merits and demerits are clear, and he will not bury the City Lord's talent. We will not be careless in anything we do. When the time comes, I will push the blame to the Prefectural Governor of Ying Du. Won't you be safe?" The environment here was also not bad. In the future, he could eat, drink, sleep, and rest in peace in this Feng Shui treasure land!”His tone was very confident.
Although Ouyang Lishan didn't know who the Prefectural Governor of Ying Du was, he was naturally happy when he heard Second Brother Jiang's words."This one thanks Lord Feng Chang. Since Lord Feng Chang is leaving tomorrow, let this one be the host tonight. What he needed would be paid out from County Governor Manor tomorrow to prepare for the journey!”"That's for the best. If there's nothing else, the county governor can go back first. I still have something to discuss with the general.”Second Brother Jiang said indifferently. He was so happy that he could not be described as a money-maker. He could eat and drink well along the way and enjoy the scenery by the roadside. Most importantly, he could earn money!
At this moment, Ouyang Lishan seemed to have nothing to do with it and naturally did not want to stay any longer. It would be troublesome if Second Brother Jiang caught hold of something to blackmail him again. He immediately sped up and walked out of the room. "Jiang Fengchang, you've deceived the Prefectural Governor quite a bit this time.”E Hou said in a low voice. "General, you're wrong. If I didn't say this, why would the county governor serve the empire so well? In the end, it's still the two of us who are busy.”Second Jiang said as he looked at Zang Zifang's message.
In the room, the two of them immediately discussed their itinerary. After bidding farewell to Ouyang Lishan, they set off for Ying Du. At night, Ouyang Lishan drank to his heart's content, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. The next day, Ouyang Lishan not only prepared a carriage, but he also prepared a lot of travel expenses. It was all to express Second Brother Jiang's kindness, making Second Brother Jiang seem like his reborn parents. After the killer returned to Xiapi, although he did not change his name, he rarely mentioned his name in front of outsiders. He only found a place to settle down outside the city.
As for Second Brother Jiang and Second Brother Jiang, they were more high-profile. They rode a carriage out of Jincheng and rushed to Xiapi City in the south. It took them a full ten days to arrive at the border of the former Chu State. Speaking of which, it was even stranger. Back then, these people who loved to stir up trouble in the world were born decades earlier. Perhaps the world would have belonged to the Chu Country. "General, where is this place?" Second Brother Jiang said tiredly from the carriage. Marquis E looked around and saw a county city ahead.
"Fengchang, why don't we go over and ask? I don't like to travel far away from home unless there's a war.”E Hou said tactfully. Second Brother Jiang had no choice but to send out his soldiers to inquire about this place since there were no maps in ancient times.
These soldiers reacted quickly. Before Second Brother Jiang's carriage entered the city, the soldiers had already come out of the city with the news. After some understanding, they knew that it was only Wanqiu City in front of them. When he heard that Wanqiu City was in front of him, Second Brother Jiang was confused. Wanqiu City only needed to go south to reach Ying Du. How could it be so fast? It was almost as fast as flying on a sword. He didn't even have any experience with local customs."Who arranged this route?" Second Brother Jiang asked gloomily. Marquis E saw that Second Brother Jiang's expression was not right and did not know what had gone wrong.
"I arranged it." Lord E braced himself and said. Seeing that it was arranged by General E Hou, Second Brother Jiang couldn't say anything. No matter what, he had to go all the way."Those killers are easy to catch. They don't have any profound knowledge. It's just that the journey is a little boring. We can also have some fun. It's a pity that we neglected the beautiful scenery and local customs along the way! His life was only a hundred years. He wondered if he would have the chance to start over again.”Second Lord Jiang forced a smile." But it's fine. Since that's the case, let's go into the city to rest for a day. It's not too late to leave tomorrow."”Second Brother Jiang acted as if nothing had happened and ordered the soldiers to arrange a hotel.
Wanqiu City wasn't big. After entering the city, Second Brother Jiang dismounted and walked forward. This wasn't the capital, so the lives of the commoners were quite passable. Although Emperor Xin had also issued some measures to benefit the people, it was not very effective. After passing through the city gate, they were greeted by a sparse market. Beside it were the storefronts or residences of various families.
E Hou led a few soldiers into the shop first. Second Brother Jiang was just strolling around the street. Compared to the Prefectural Governor, it was quite deserted. After walking past a street, Second Brother Jiang heard snoring at the corner of the street. It was supposed to be noon on a sunny day. As a citizen, he didn't go to feed his family but slept in the streets. Second Brother Jiang was also curious and immediately went there. A young man was sleeping soundly on the side of the walkway. He had the temperament of a scholar and was famous for his elegance. Although his clothes were a little tattered, he was holding the Green Dragon Weir Moon Blade in his hand. There was not much rust on it. There was also a bowl beside him. After looking at it for a while, Second Brother Jiang felt that it was another fallen noble youth. He sighed slightly, then took out the copper coin and wanted to gently place it beside the youth. Perhaps someone was approaching, but the young man suddenly woke up. At the same time, he tightly protected the Green Dragon Moon Weir Blade in his hand. Second Brother Jiang was only two years older than him, but he was much more mature than the young man."What's your name? Why are you sleeping here?" Second Brother Jiang was very kind and handed the copper coin to the youth. "I am Zhang Kui. I wonder why this brother is helping me."”The young man spoke clearly and looked at Second Brother Jiang with some doubt.
Second Brother Jiang was at a loss for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, didn't Zhang Kui travel 1,500 miles in a day? He was even more powerful than his subordinate, Tu Xingsun. How could he be so down and out? Suppressing his surprised expression, he said," I'm Second Brother Jiang, also known as Ziya. People in the world should help each other. You can have unlimited brilliance at your age. Isn't this a little tiring?"”
"It's not that I'm tired, but that I don't have money to buy books. I only have the Green Dragon Weir Moon Blade left behind by my father.”Zhang Kui said helplessly. His father died early? "Zhang Kui, what books do you want to read?”Second Brother Jiang said patiently. "I want to read military books and the art of war. A real man standing between heaven and earth should contribute to the country like this!”Zhang Kui was very confident.
Second Brother Jiang nodded and immediately pulled Zhang Kui up." Let's go. I'll go find some books on war for you. The art of war is deceitful. If you study hard, your future will be limitless."”Zhang Kui was pulled up by Second Brother Jiang in a daze, but he was at a loss. "Big brother, where are you taking me to find military books? Ordinary people don't have military books at home.”
Second Brother Jiang was not in a hurry to speak. He just helped Zhang Kui carry the Green Dragon Moon Weir Saber." I'll take you to the Prefectural Governor to find a book. He must have a military book."”Upon hearing Second Brother Jiang's words, Zhang Kui stood still."I'm just a commoner, how can I enter the government? Young Master is rich, but he can't win against the government.”Zhang Kui felt helpless.
Second Brother Jiang waved his hand." I'm not only rich but also powerful. It's not proper for a man to be so bashful. Just follow me closely. There's no beard in this world that I can't pluck even if I want to!”Zhang Kui didn't say anything else and followed Second Brother Jiang cautiously. After a while, Second Brother Jiang brought Zhang Kui to the Prefectural Governor's residence. At first, Second Lord Jiang didn't want to disturb these Prefectural Governors. He had already booked an inn. However, it seemed worth it to work hard for Zhang Kui. Talents were rare.
Just as Second Brother Jiang was about to enter, he was stopped by the guards in the manor." Who are you? How dare you barge into the County Governor's Manor? You're simply audacious."”"Quickly go and invite your lord out. Such a small official still dares to flaunt his power. Preposterous.”Second Brother Jiang said loudly. The two guards at the gate looked at each other and felt that this person was extraordinary. They immediately ran into the mansion. Second Brother Jiang did not stay and walked straight into the mansion. The guards did not dare to stop him.
He was completely frightened by Second Brother Jiang's aura and happened to meet the Prefectural Governor in the courtyard. The Prefectural Governor looked at Second Brother Jiang in confusion. Second Brother Jiang was dressed like a rich young master, but the young man behind him was dressed in rags and did not have the slightest aura."You are?" The county governor asked respectfully.
Second Brother Jiang didn't answer. He immediately took out the waist token from his waist. On it was carved the word " Feng Chang " and below it was a small seal. It was clearly the seal of Lu Shang."I'm Jiang Ziya, Fengchang of the Hall of Heaven. I'm here to investigate a case.”Second Brother Jiang said confidently. However, the Prefectural Governor was still skeptical. After all, Second Lord Jiang was only seventeen years old. As Feng Chang, he was still young.
Second Elder Jiang paced back and forth." Lord Prefectural Governor, you should know that it's better to believe something than not to believe it. If you do anything wrong, you'll have to bear the consequences.”Second Brother Jiang spoke softly but clearly. After listening to Second Brother Jiang's words, the county governor pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense. He immediately bowed and welcomed Second Brother Jiang and Second Brother Jiang into the living room. He instructed the attendant to prepare tea.
Second Brother Jiang looked calm. Seeing this, the Prefectural Governor felt that this person was calm and should be someone who was in a big deal. He hurriedly filled his tea and said,"May I know why Jiang Fengchang is here?”the county governor asked slowly. He flicked his clothes and said," Take this young man away first. Wash him and change into a clean set of clothes. I have something to tell you."”Second Brother Jiang said unhurriedly.
The Prefectural Governor was puzzled. He waved his hand at the guard beside him, signaling him to bring Zhang Kui down to tidy up. Zhang Kui was on guard and did not want to leave Second Brother Jiang's side at all. "Just let him be. Nothing will happen.”Second Brother Jiang comforted him, which made Zhang Kui feel a little more at ease.
Seeing Zhang Kui leave, he immediately asked,"Fengchang, why did you come to my Wanqiu City?”"When His Majesty returned from the Three Emperors Temple, he was ambushed by the Southern Barbarians. He sent me and General E Hou to investigate the case and came here after searching for clues. However, he saw that the young man looked rich and noble, so he brought me here to arrange a few things.”Second Brother Jiang said slowly.
The Prefectural Governor was a little surprised." I wonder where General E Hou is now? Why didn't you come to my residence? I will definitely entertain you.”The Prefectural Governor was a little terrified. E Hou is one of the three public, the court's power is high, how can the county magistrate not know the truth! Second Elder Jiang picked up his teacup and took a sip." It's not that I'm not coming to the manor, but this is a secret operation. Not many people know about it. Of course, the Prefectural Governor is one of them.”Second Brother Jiang lied.
"I see. Now that the world is at peace, it's really difficult for such a thing to happen.”The county governor pretended to be indignant. While the two were talking, Zhang Kui had changed his attire. He looked much better than before. He was fourteen or fifteen years old and looked like a scholar. He carried the Green Dragon Weir Moon Blade on his back. Although it didn't match, he looked fine overall.
" Lord County Governor, I didn't come here today for the case, but for this young man. Take me to the study and I'll choose a few books for him.”Second Brother Jiang said slowly. The Prefectural Governor was naturally willing to help. He immediately brought Second Elder Jiang and Zhang Kui to the study." There are almost all collections inside. Jiang Fengchang can choose whatever he wants.”The Prefectural Governor said respectfully. Second Lord Jiang nodded and walked into the room. Zhang Kui was a little shy.
"Benefactor, what kind of official position is Fengchang that the county governor would respect you so much?”Zhang Kui asked doubtfully. Second Lord Jiang glanced at him." Feng Chang is only one of the nine ministers. He is an official who is just a bystander behind Emperor Xin. His official position is not very high, but he controls the world's money and food in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. Outside of the Hall of Heaven Tribute was a vassal! King of the Lu Kingdom." Second Brother Jiang said smugly. "Zhang Kui is going to be a high-ranking official in the future. Do you know what kind of official position is suitable for me?”Zhang Kui looked forward to it.
"Other than His Majesty, there are nobles. Now that the world has risen again, there is a great opportunity. I hope you can be conferred the title of Marquis as soon as possible.”Second Brother Jiang sighed. It was not a bad choice to save Zhang Kui by himself."These are all books.”Before Zhang Kui could speak, Second Brother Jiang said. Second Brother Jiang looked at Zhang Kui picking books and immediately sat down on the wooden chair. Due to his fatigue, he fell asleep on the wooden chair. When he woke up, it was already noon.
Second Brother Jiang stood up with a heavy heart, but he didn't know that Zhang Kui's side was filled with bamboo slips."Have you seen it?" Second Brother Jiang said helplessly. Zhang Kui heard the voice and hurriedly stood up." Big Brother, I was too engrossed in reading and forgot to choose a book.”There was a hint of grievance in his tone." Yeah, it's fine. You can read it first. I'll help you choose a few more powerful books."”Second Brother Jiang stretched his body and said. Reading books was difficult, but choosing books was not. In a short while, Second Brother Jiang took out many bamboo slips from the bookshelf, including the Art of War. However, it was still far from his future Six Secret Arts.
