Chapter 1541: The Spirit of the Wine Shop Was Once Young

When I came out of Donghua Pavilion, the Chaowen Bell hanging in the Star Observation Tower was ringing slowly.

This shocked Jiang Wang's somewhat dazed thoughts.

He was really dizzy from reciting the book and reciting it with trembling fear.

Although I have indeed put in hard work in normal times, if I failed to memorize this one well, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor! The pressure is just too much.

He definitely didn't expect that Emperor Qi summoned him to Donghua Pavilion and spent a whole hour just to check the status of his endorsement!

At this critical moment when the troops are about to conquer Xia.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty were waiting for his will.

This Emperor of Qi...isn't he too idle? ?

But this kind of boredom of not doing serious business before the war, this kind of idleness of teasing the young Viscount before the court meeting.

It really makes people feel a kind of calmness and confidence.

The calmness of looking at the world.

The confidence to grasp the universe!

What is Xia Guo? What's so difficult about this game of chess in the world?

He, Jiang Shu, just chatted casually, called the young man in front of him, recited the words honestly, and made random moves... and the chess fell down the mountain!

Accompanied by Bingbi eunuch Qiu Ji, Jiang Wang walked out of the palace city, feeling really calm in his heart.

"Master Jiang, our family will no longer send gifts."

"Father-in-law, please stay. I won't get lost in Linzi."

Only then did Church smile.

But he still didn't say anything else and returned to the palace.

Before Jiang Wang had time to think about whether Qiu Ji had anything unsaid, he saw the curtain of a large sedan in front of him was lifted.

Chong Xuan Sheng waved to him: "Come in!"

"What happened?" Jiang Wang asked as he sat in the sedan.

The sedan chair has already risen, and the bearer is walking as fast as flying.

Chong Xuan Sheng was still squeezing with Shi Shi, and just waved his hand: "First tell me what happened to you! What does the emperor want from you?"

"Ask me to memorize the book." Jiang Wang said matter-of-factly.

Chong Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Qi Emperor to be so boring at first, but he immediately said: "It seems that today's meeting will decide on the candidate for the coach of Faxia!"

Jiang Wang couldn't figure out how he connected the two things.

But he has long been used to it.

Just believe in Chong Xuan Sheng's conclusion, the analysis process is not very important.

So he shrugged his shoulders: "So where are we going now?"

"Nanyao." Chong Xuansheng was probably still thinking about the political situation, a little carelessly: "It's time to catch up after falling behind for a long time."

Chiyang County, Nanyaocheng, Lian family.

The number one weaponssmith family in Da Qi.

One of the five holy places recognized by the world's armorers.

Of course, this so-called "holy place" is just a bluff, and it is far from comparable to holy places such as Xuankong Temple and Yujing Mountain.

Just like the famous utensils in the world, they are all attached to people and held in their hands. It has never been said that a person is powerful because of any weapon. Only weapons become famous because of the strong person.

Weaponsmiths are also mostly attached to powerful forces and do not have much sense of existence themselves.

And through the relationship between Jiang Wang and Lian Que, Chong Xuansheng has been secretly planning for the Lian family in Nanyao for a long time.

In such a crucial war as Faxia, in the final moment of competition with Zhongxuan Zun, he had to gather all his strength.

Of course Jiang Wang could understand.

So he closed his eyes and began to practice: "Just call me when the time comes."

"It's too late." Chongxuan Sheng suddenly shouted: "Stop the sedan!"

The sedan stopped, and he pushed Jiang Wang: "We have to finish this matter before the results of the court meeting reach Nanyao City. Can't wait to get on the sedan."

The soldiers of Da Qi are in Chiyang, and the soldiers of Chiyang are in Nanyao.

There is of course no doubt about the importance of the Lian family, and the production of military armor in Nanyao City is of course firmly in the hands of Qi Ting.

But it is also a large army going on an expedition. There are so many teams. Who should give the best soldiers and armor to whom? Who can get dressed first, and who can get replenished the fastest?

Under the imperial court's orders, the Lian family also had relative freedom.

This power is very important!

That's why the fourteenth prince Jiang Wuyong wanted to get involved.

When the court meeting is over and the coach of Fuxia is chosen, the war will begin immediately. Among those who will participate in the war, there will definitely be no shortage of people looking for the Lian family.

So Chong Xuan Sheng said, be quick.

So on the streets of Linzi, the three of them stood up and flew directly to Chiyang County.

Jiang Wang's fourth grade green card and Chong Xuan Sheng's family background have a very clear role at this time - almost no one will make a fuss about it.

Those who can yell at them are probably still participating in court meetings in Ziji Palace!

The three people flew straight through the mountains and ridges without any hindrance, crossing counties and cities. Within a few hours, they had arrived at Nanyao City.

Chong Xuan Sheng's purpose was very clear, and he landed directly in front of the Lian clan's ancestral hall.

They flew all the way from Linzi to Nanyao City and then rushed directly to the Lian Ancestral Hall in such a arrogant way. The people of the Lian family would not be still ignorant.

The head of the Lian family, Lian Zhuping, hurried over with several family elders. His expression was unnatural, but he still managed to smile: "Young Master Chongxuan! Lord Jiang! Why are you here today?"

"This is not the place to talk." He extended his hand and said, "I'm hosting a banquet in the restaurant, and I'd like to invite you two to honor me."

Today's Lian Zhuping is very different from the past!

How arrogant in the front, how respectful in the back.

Jiang Wang didn't speak.

But Zhong Xuansheng said in a calm voice: "I don't think it's necessary. Some things should be said in the restaurant, and some things can only be said here!"

Lian Zhuping's face darkened: "What do you mean, Mr. Chongxuan?"

No matter what, he is still the head of a clan and the patriarch of a very prestigious family.

No matter how noble Chong Xuansheng's status is, he is still so young and has not yet been awarded the title...

He has forced himself to smile and ignore the other party's unscrupulous attitude, so why is he still aggressive and trying to tear down the roof?

Chong Xuansheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just looked around and shouted, "Where is Lian Que?"

In the time it took to say a few words, many members of the Lian clan had gathered in front of the Lian clan's ancestral hall.

Lian Que's firm figure came from a distance. Without saying anything, the crowd automatically made a way for him.

Having forged the world-famous Chang Xiang Si, and managed it with the help of Chong Xuansheng for several years, his prestige within the Lian clan has long been different from the past.

The road that the crowd silently parted is where his honor lies!

Lian Zhuping stared at him fiercely, his eyes like an old king who smelled the breath of the new king in a wolf pack: "Lian Que, what do you mean? You colluded with outsiders today and stirred up trouble. Are you trying to belittle our Lian clan ancestral hall?!"

Lian Que's face is not very attractive to look at, because it is indeed not very beautiful. But at this moment, people have to look at him.

He nodded to Jiang Wang first, then looked at Chong Xuansheng: "Is the time right?"

Chong Xuansheng smiled: "If we still need the so-called 'opportunity', then your efforts over the past few years can be said to be in vain! You might as well go to Qingyang Town to forge iron, and I might as well go there to sell buns!"

Lian Que then smiled, of course his smile was not pretty: "I understand the truth, but why do you sell buns?"

Chong Xuansheng grinned and said: "Some people like to eat!"

Lian Que looked at Fourteen...

And then looked at Jiang Wang to comfort himself.

Then he looked back at Lian Zhuping and said calmly: "From today on, the position of the head of the Lian family belongs to me."

His tone was not passionate, because he was not declaring war or attacking anyone. He was just announcing a fact.

Sometimes he felt dazed. He once thought that the difficult predicament was like a natural moat, and he was determined to change his life. He once thought that he had to give everything and fight for his whole life. He was indeed aware of the fact that he would burn himself to death.

But in just a few years, it was already within his reach.

After all, the young man who came from afar to Qi has grown into the first pride of the young generation of Qi.

After all, the disciple of the Chongxuan family who was not respected by many people at that time can now compete with Chongxuanzun who "stole the glory of his peers".

After all, he has not wasted a single day in the past few years.

So the original appointment at the wine shop should indeed be fulfilled today.

Lian Zhuping was shocked and angry: "Absurd!"

He was angry at Lian Que's attitude, and even more terrified by Lian Que's attitude.

He pointed at Lian Que and cursed: "You bastard, do you think that you can cover the sky with one hand and even influence the position of the head of my Lian family by climbing up the high branch of the Chongxuan family and relying on the prestige of Marquis Bowang?"

"You are so bad and stupid! Will Chiyang County allow it? Will the court watch it?"

In his angry roar to cover up his guilty conscience, he did not forget to strip away the influence of the Chongxuan family and build confidence in those who supported him.

But Lian Que had a strange expression: "What does it have to do with the Chongxuan family? Why doesn't Chiyang County allow it?"

His calm tone was in sharp contrast to Lian Zhuping's excitement: "This is our Lian family's own decision."

Lian Zhuping certainly had a certain degree of premonition at this time.

But he refused to believe it.

He has been the head of the family for so many years, has been running the business for so long, and has done so many things for this family... How old is Lian Que? ! How many years has he been famous?

"Lian family?" He sneered. Although he was a little bit lacking in confidence, he still tried his best to hold up his remaining power: "When can you be the master of Lian family?"

Lian Que did not speak.

At this time, more than half of the people surrounding the Lian family ancestral hall almost looked up at the same time and looked at Lian Zhuping!

The gaze had real weight at this moment.

Why should Lian Que speak?

In the past few years, the Lian family has obtained the support of the Chongxuan family through Lian Que's relationship. They are like fish in water in the army and can get the best conditions for every military order. Those troubles that were stuck here and there in the past were all gone as long as Lian Que came forward.

Who would not benefit from the hundreds of people in the Lian family and the many people in the weapon casting industry around the Lian family?

What is the human heart? The human heart is here!

Although Lian Que is not smooth enough and his skills are not smooth, he is definitely a fair person.

He will never let those who follow him suffer losses and will never neglect anyone's benefits. This alone is far better than Lian Zhuping!

Lian Zhuping may have been an excellent patriarch. After all, he still kept the business of the Lian family when the Lian family had not cast a famous weapon for a long time and had no military force to rely on. No merit, but hard work.

But he is old!

He is over sixty years old, but he has not yet achieved the divine presence. It is all thanks to the spiritual medicine that he has not begun to decline.

He has not achieved the divine presence at this age, but he has not given up!

He keeps asking for it from the family, constantly occupying various resources, hoping that he can stay young forever and break the life limit when he achieves the divine presence.

Why should he get close to the fourteenth prince Jiang Wuyong? Why do you do something that walks on the edge of danger?

It all stems from his unwillingness and greed. He wants something that he can't get through normal channels, and he wants more!

Perhaps this is also human nature, but the Lian family members are no longer willing to understand. Because they have a better choice!

In the crowd, the young man named Lian Shao, a rising star of the Lian family, was the first to speak: "The affairs of the Lian family are of course decided by our Lian family. And I, Lian Shao, fully support Lian Que to take charge of the family. I believe in him, just as I believe that the Lian family has a longer-term future! I follow him because I still have hope for this family!"

Back in the secret realm of the Seven Stars Tower, Jiang Wang saved him once, and then he completely stood on the side of Lian Que.

And at this moment, under his leadership, one after another of the young people of the Lian family stood up to express their opinions.

"I believe in Lian Que!"

"If Lian Que doesn't become the head of the family, the Lian family has no future!"

...

Like a spark spreading, it has become a prairie fire.

"Lian Shao!" Lian Zhuping was furious and said angrily: "Don't forget where your life card is!" But as soon as he said it, he realized that he was overwhelmed by anger and fear and said stupid things. Some facts can exist and do exist for a long time, but they should not be said. Without time to think about why they made such stupid moves, the Lian clan members present, including those who remained neutral at the beginning, all took a step forward. A sea of ​​heads surged behind Lian Que! The life card system is the root of the rigidity of the Lian clan, and it is also the old custom of a few high-level officials to exploit the majority of clan members. Many people just dare not say it, but it does not mean that they will not hate it. Life and death are in the hands of people. When fighting for their own rights, they are often threatened like today... Who can not hate it? Lian Zhuping has offended the public! Jiang Wang moved away the evil seal that concealed the fluctuations, and quietly dispersed the seal of the anger of Taoism. Chong Xuansheng still smiled and said nothing, with an attitude of staying out of it. Lian Zhuping wanted to say something to save the situation.

At this time, behind Lian Zhuping, an elder said: "Actually, I also think... Letting Lian Que be the head of the family may indeed be a better choice."

This person is Lian Luyue!

At the beginning, he was still working hard for Jiang Wuyong and actively snatching Chang Xiangsi.

Today, he said solemnly: "Brother Zhuping, we are all old, our ideas can't keep up, and our health is not as good as before... It's time to hand over the burden to the young people."

Lian Zhuping's biggest trump card at this time is the life card system that has maintained the stability of the Lian family for many years.

But there is a most fatal point - the life cards of the Lian family members are in the hands of a group of elders.

Lian Zhuping looked back at Lian Luyue, his eyes were simply panic-stricken!

At the most critical moment, the person he trusted the most stabbed him in the vitals.

Then another elder said, "I also think Lian Que is very suitable to lead the family. In recent years, the only famous weapon of our Lian family was cast by Lian Que. Needless to say, his attainments in casting weapons have long surpassed those of us old men, and he is fully capable of inheriting the foundation of our ancestors. Moreover, he is still so young, and his future is limitless! Our family should of course be handed over to someone with a better future. This is a choice that is closely related to each of us!"

Lian Zhuping could not hear the rest of the words clearly.

Each elder kept coming out to express his views.

He just felt that everything was very messy, and his ears were buzzing.

He wanted to slap Lian Que, just like he forced Lian Que to let go of Chang Xiangsi.

But as soon as his fingers moved, a trace of murderous intent was fixed on his eyebrows.

He woke up in an instant and fully realized what the current situation was.

He was not as powerful as others, not as virtuous as others, not as strong as others, and not as intelligent as others!

There were still elders who supported him, and those who were loyal to him were not all alienated.

But he said nothing.

He turned around and walked into the ancestral hall alone.

The gate of the ancestral hall slowly closed.

There was a fire in his eyes. It was like a furnace fire, like the heat he had pursued when he was young.

Across the gate, the voice of Lian Que came faintly from behind him——

"From today on, the Lian family will abolish the fate card! No one will be born in shackles, and everyone will enjoy the freedom they deserve!"

Then there was cheering.

The cheers were thunderous.

From one prefecture, one street, to the whole city.

The cheers seemed to exist for him.
