Chapter 1397: Different Paths to the Same Destination
The morning light suddenly rose, and the sound of wheels woke up the city.
The carriage responsible for shopping left the back door of the Jiang family in the morning light.
The Jiang family now has a housekeeper, a groom, a cook, a maid, and more than 20 people. There are expenses everywhere.
Every day, the vegetables are bought by the basket.
Yaoguangfang has its own vegetable market, but probably because the people living here are either rich or noble, the vegetable market is much more expensive than other places.
The thrifty housekeeper Xie certainly doesn't want to let his family suffer this loss.
It's not that the Jiang family doesn't have a carriage. A few more steps away is Huyangfang, which has the largest vegetable market in Linzi. The vegetables are fresh and cheap, especially the fresh fish...
In short, they come here to buy every day.
However, as soon as they entered Huyangfang, a figure walked down from the carriage.
Lord Jiang had some beards on his face, and Ruyixianyi changed into a tight suit, and calmly mixed into the crowd.
…
…
He said that it was none of Chong Xuansheng’s business, but he still needed Chong Xuansheng’s help to cover him.
So Master Sheng started practicing in the yard early in the morning, and at the same time he ordered the servants in the mansion around, asking for this and that.
It was hard to tell how many eyes were staring at the Jiang Mansion now.
Some had been discovered, and some had not.
Master Sheng cursed someone for being stupid and stubborn, and he didn’t miss a single thing that needed to be done.
When Qingzhuan hurried over, Master Sheng had just formed the iron ball in his hand into a little man, and carved the words Jiang Man.
“Master.” He half-knelt on the ground and brought the information.
Chong Xuansheng showed his masterpiece to Fourteen: "Does it look like it? Does it look like it?"
At the same time, he asked in a hurry: "What's wrong?"
"The latest news about Master Zun, Dingyuan Hou asked me to pass it on to you." Qingzhuan reported: "The old marquis should have received the letter by now,"
"You scared me. I thought something happened to Jiang Wang. It's not a good thing to have such a move so soon..." Chong Xuansheng muttered, and said a little casually: "What amazing thing did my good brother do? Come, stand and talk, one by one, and make me a drink!"
He put the iron man he had just molded aside, picked up the wine pot on the small stove, poured himself a cup of hot wine, and looked at Fourteen again with the wine pot.
Fourteen shook his head, and he drank it himself.
"Master Zun was hunting in the maze world and encountered the son of the Dark King. Kill him! This son of the Dark King is said to be the first one among the descendants of the Dark King." Qingzhuan said.
Fourteen took out a few dishes that were still steaming from the food box and gave them to Chong Xuansheng to eat with wine.
Chong Xuansheng picked up a few chopsticks and said, "Nothing special! Didn't Jiang Wang also kill the son of the Blood King?"
Of course, he ignored the fact that Yu Wangu, who was killed by Jiang Wang, was ranked very low, but was only a mid-level commander. The one killed by Chong Xuanzun was already a top-level commander of the sea clan.
The Blood King is indeed no worse than the Dark King, but the two descendants of bloodlines with different rankings are worlds apart.
Of course, Jiang Wang was far worse than he is now.
"King Chongyi personally hunted down Master Zun..." Qingzhuan said, "Master Zun escaped successfully."
Chong Xuansheng glared at Qingzhuan, "You are panting so hard when you talk, I thought my brother was dead! I didn't even decide whether to cry or laugh."
The two-character king of the sea clan is also called the fake king, which is almost similar to the human race's divine monk.
Chong Xuanzun was able to escape the pursuit of a sea clan king, which is dazzling.
And Qingzhuan continued to report: "Later, the Dark King personally came to the maze, and Master Qi tried to stop him."
Zhongxuansheng snorted coldly: "It's quite impressive."
Qingzhuan's tone became solemn: "The sea tribe seemed to have the intention to kill Master Zun, and they were mobilizing troops everywhere. The whole maze was in chaos, and almost set off a war... It is said that Wan Tong personally arranged it."
Zhongxuansheng took a chopstick of meat and took a big sip of wine.
Qingzhuan continued: "Based on this, Zhenjun Weixun of Shendu found the location of Wan Tong's true body, gathered three Zhenjuns and the martial arts master Wang Ao, went deep into the sea, raided Wan Tong... cut off a dragon horn and returned. It was not a complete success, but it also destroyed Wan Tong's practice for at least a hundred years!"
This is really a major event that has not happened in the offshore for a hundred years!
Weixun completed such a feat, and his reputation overseas must be at its peak. This move can be said to have stabilized the situation of the offshore islands at once. The prestige that the Zhenhai League should have gathered long ago was also established.
The beatings of Qi during this period of time were almost wasted...
Wan Tong was in charge of the Eternal Dark Vortex and supported the evolution of the sea race alone. He was able to face the sudden attack and siege of four true masters and a martial arts master Wang Ao without dying.
His strength is obviously beyond the extraordinary peak!
Of course, for Chong Xuansheng, the more important thing may be, what did Chong Xuanzun show that made a being like Wan Tong not hesitate to personally go out and plan the hunt?
"Has the evolution of the sea race been interrupted?" Chong Xuansheng asked.
Qingzhuan shook his head: "Probably not, otherwise it would have been widely spread by now, and the reputation of Zhenjun Chendu would have been further improved."
"So, what about Chongxuanzun?"
"Master Zun was seriously injured, but in the melee, he killed two of the top descendants of the Dark King...Xuehe Zhenjun, who went to the sea with Zhenjun Chendu, expressed his willingness to accept him as a disciple on the spot, but he refused."
Chongxuansheng shook his wine glass: "Is it the same thing as Dao Buyou again?"
"...Yes."
"Why are these people rushing to praise him and give him fame?" Chongxuansheng asked with a wrinkled face.
Qingzhuan obviously couldn't answer this question.
Chongxuansheng raised his glass and drank the wine, then he sighed: "This is really the protagonist in the storyteller's book! Born with a perfect and flawless Tao vein. At a young age, he was favored by the True Lord. In a few years, he was also known as a physiognomist, the best in Linzi. On the Guanhetai, he was also called peerless. Once he went to the world of confusion, he caused a storm. He turned the world upside down and the sea was in turmoil!"
He turned his head to look at Fourteen and smiled: "I look like those useless villains in the book who can only engage in conspiracy and intrigue. Isn't it?"
Fourteen reached out to help him brush his hair and whispered: "I have always seen you as the protagonist."
Chongxuansheng looked at her, and it seemed that he could see her face through the heavy iron helmet.
But because Qingzhuan was there, he just shook her hand.
Then he said: "But this is good news!"
Fourteen tilted his head, obviously not quite understanding why it was good news that Chongxuanzun was so successful in the world of confusion.
Chong Xuansheng sighed, "The weight of the Tianjiao is even heavier, and Jiang Qingyang can also gain more tolerance because of this!"
"Where is my uncle?" Chong Xuansheng asked again.
He has two uncles, one is his own uncle and the other is his cousin.
But Qingzhuan obviously knew who he was asking about, and just lowered his head and said, "The Marquis went out to sea to pick up Master Zun."
Chong Xuansheng nodded, "This is reasonable."
With his keen sense of smell, it is not difficult to judge that Chong Xuanzun was obviously used as bait by Wei Xun and others in the maze this time. And now, except for Chong Xuan Chuliang, there is no one in the Chong Xuan family who can support Chong Xuanzun...
He waved his hand, and Qingzhuan withdrew.
Fourteen looked at him quietly, without saying anything.
He looked at the exquisite wine and food on the table, and suddenly lost interest. He sighed and said casually, "It's all because of Jiang's indifference that he didn't accompany me to drink! This wine is so tasteless!"
"Then..."
He turned his head and saw the shy girl taking off her iron helmet and whispering, "I'll drink with you for a little bit."
...
...
After turning around for a long time, Jiang Wang casually turned into an old alley.
There was no one around.
With the red makeup mirror combined with the immortal state of voice hearing, there were not many people who could hide from his perception. Of course, this range was limited to those who would be sent to monitor Lin Youxie.
He walked perfectly into the blind spot of several secret sentries, stepped out without any fireworks, and landed in the yard.
It was still the red makeup mirror that led the way, reflecting the pattern of the entire yard in his heart. He walked to the outside of a bedroom with closed doors and windows and knocked gently on the door.
The sound was well controlled, and only the people in the room could hear it.
"Who?" Lin Youxie's vigilant voice sounded inside.
She must have used some secret method, the direction of the sound was different from her own location.
Of course, this could not be hidden from the voice-hearing fairy.
"I." Jiang Wang said in a deep voice.
With a creak, the door opened.
Lin Youxie looked at Jiang Wang in the room with a complicated look.
Jiang Wang stepped into the threshold and closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Lin Youxie asked.
Jiang Wang said: "I thought there were many people yesterday, and you might not be able to tell me anything..."
Lin Youxie was silent for a while and said: "Find a place to sit."
She turned and walked to the long table against the wall: "I'm still making medicine."
Jiang Wang looked around and said: "It's okay, I'll stand."
This really doesn't look like a girl's room.
Of course... How many girls' boudoirs has he, Jiang, entered? He is not qualified to comment.
However, this doesn't look like a normal place for people to rest...
He did look for it seriously just now, but except for the bed, there seemed to be no place to sit - how could he sit on a girl's bed as soon as he met her?
"Are there many people outside?" Lin Youxie asked casually.
"I found seven. I don't know if there are any I can't find." Jiang Wang said truthfully.
Lin Youxie slowly pounded the medicine and said, "In most cases, I should be safe. My official position is also useful. What's more, there are so many people watching."
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said, "In the system, we are bound by the system and protected by the system. Because protecting people in the system is protecting the system, and protecting the system is protecting one's own power."
"The viewpoints in the seven chapters of Guo Lun." Lin Youxie said without turning his head: "You summarized it very well."
Jiang Wang coughed, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, he said something else: "Do you need to read so many books to solve the case?"
Lin Youxie was silent for a while, and said: "This is the introductory book of the Legalists."
"..." Jiang Wang looked around again, and then asked, "Can I do something to help you?"
"Sympathize with me?" Lin Youxie asked while pounding the medicine.
"Miss Lin, don't get me wrong, I'm not..."
"Don't get me wrong." Lin Youxie interrupted, "I'm actually very grateful for your sympathy. As the most dazzling genius and the most promising young talent in Qi State, you are not arrogant, but have compassion for me. I am very grateful. But you shouldn't pay too much for sympathy. Wait until you are at the top one day, and then give me a little sympathy. I don't have any fragile self-esteem now, I really thank you."
"I must admit that your experience is sympathetic. I must admit that I have such emotions in my heart - how can I not have them?" Jiang Wang said seriously: "But I want to do something to help you, not only because of sympathy, not only because we have worked together several times, but also because...'fairness'."
He said, "Because I also want the truth. I think there should be truth in this world. It has nothing to do with interests, emotions or other factors, just the truth itself.
Because if the truth itself can be mixed with too many things, there will definitely not be a fair result.
And if the truth is not what the truth itself looks like, it is the greatest injustice to the weak."
If the word truth is not pure, if it is eventually influenced by something, then it will definitely not be clean, and the truth of the weak will definitely not come.
There are still hundreds of thousands of people who are permanently silent in Fenglin City. What kind of answer do they need?
"You have great beliefs." Lin Youxie said slowly: "Unfortunately, what I have is just a paranoid, self-centered, selfish desire to seek justice for my father."
Of course, she believes in Qingpai, justice, and truth.
But these have gradually weathered in the past seventeen years, and finally shattered in front of Uriel's body.
She once embraced justice, but now only selfishness remains.
"If there is a road to justice, I think it must be paved with fairness. So we can reach the same destination in different ways." Jiang Wang said.
Lin Youxie stopped the wooden pestle, turned around in front of the table, and stared at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang subconsciously explained: "I thought of this sentence myself."
The room was not lit, and the doors and windows were closed, so it was dark even in broad daylight.
But as extraordinary monks, they could certainly see each other clearly.
Lin Youxie was not the kind of breathtaking beauty.
Of course, being stared at by her eyes that see through people's hearts, it is difficult for you to care about her appearance.
"Can I trust you completely?" she asked.
Jiang Wang only said: "I think, when you asked me, this question already had an answer."
Lin Youxie was not a hesitant character, so she said without hesitation: "Grandpa Wu used his body to leave me two clues."
The body is made up of clues...
Jiang Wang heard this sentence for the first time from Lin Youxie.
At that time, he only felt cruel and felt that this sentence was too cold.
Only at this moment, he felt a hot piety that was unique to Qingpai.
The old man whose corpse floated on the sea described this sentence in this way.
"What clues?" Jiang Wang asked.
"The first one is Wan Ling Dong Xue."
"Wan Ling Dong Xue?"
"It is the cause of Concubine Lei's death, and the root cause of the cold poison that entered the life of the Eleventh Prince."
"So, if we find Wan Ling Dong Xue, we can find the real murderer, right?"
Lin Youxie did not answer, but continued: "The second clue left by Grandpa Wu in the corpse is Tian Xili."
The current patriarch of the Daze Tian family, Gaochang Hou Tian Xili!
