Chapter 1626: Summer in Linzi City

When Jiang Wang received the message from Lin Youxie, he had just returned to Linzi and was considering how to talk to Chong Xuansheng about the news of the offshore islands. In fact, he didn't need to speak. The moment he saw him, Chong Xuansheng already understood.

The news from the Qingpai channel was really a life-saving straw.

Jiang Wang opened the body of heaven on the spot, and flew to Lu Shuang County with Chong Xuansheng from Linzi.

Lu Shuang County is located in the northwest of Linzi. It is the home of the Lei clan, Jiang Wuqi's mother's clan. There is only Le'an County between it and Linzi City.

No one thought that Fourteen had been running quietly for several days, and he was still wandering in the heart of Qi State, and he didn't run out of the country at all. No wonder there was no news from the border counties and cities, and no wonder Jiang Wang couldn't catch any trace when he went out to sea himself.

Chong Xuansheng and Jiang Wang mobilized all their connections and drew a huge circle on the vast territory of Qi, but Fourteenth had been circling in this circle...

For so many years, Fourteenth had always been by Chong Xuansheng's side. Wherever Chong Xuansheng went, she went there.

This was her first time to act on her own...It was obviously a mess.

Luckily, it was a mess.

Jiang Wang flew into the forest, leaving the time for reunion and mutual confession without interruption to the two people looking at each other.

At this time, Lin Youxie was sitting on a horizontal branch, with her feet hanging down, shaking unconsciously.

Sometimes she was like a leaf, and also a corner of the forest.

"Thanks to you this time." Jiang Wang flew down and said.

"It's a small matter." Lin Youxie said casually.

Jiang Wang sat down on another horizontal branch and planned to start practicing-I don't know how long Chong Xuansheng and Fourteenth will hum over there, and it's not convenient for him to eavesdrop.

"I remember if you and Lei Zhanqian had conflicts?" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.

"Because both sides were young and energetic, there were some minor conflicts... but they have been resolved long ago." Jiang Wang was in a good mood after finding Fourteen, and smiled: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wuqi gave Jiang Wang a gift, but left Lei Zhanqian to invite someone, which was intended to promote reconciliation between the two sides. Although Lei Zhanqian was disheartened at that time and left alone without saying anything, Jiang Wang was willing to accept this mood.

In the final analysis, he and Lei Zhanqian had no fundamental conflicts, and he had always been the one who took advantage of the conflicts, so there was really no need to hold on to it.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the Lei family was the local snake in Lushuang County." Lin Youxie said.

The Lei family was not a top family. It was prosperous because of Concubine Lei. To be honest, there is no essential difference between it and the Jinghai Gao family today. At most, the Lei family had an extraordinary history, and its foundation was a little stronger than that of the Jinghai Gao family.

After the death of Concubine Lei, the Lei family should have declined.

But although Concubine Lei died, she left Jiang Wuqi in her belly.

Jiang Wuqi, who was poisoned by cold, was loved by the emperor since childhood. With his extraordinary talents, he won the foundation of Changsheng Palace. He was sick and had the possibility of competing for the throne.

The Lei family thus consolidated its foundation.

It happened that Lei Zhanqian's generation was very competitive. Lei Yikun was already excellent, and Lei Zhanqian took off the Thunder Seal. He was regarded as the hope of the Lei family for hundreds of years in the future and had the possibility of truly pushing the Nine Heavens Thunder Propagation to the peak.

With the right time, right place and right people, the Lu Shuang Lei family had a prosperous trend.

But after Jiang Wuqi died, Changsheng Palace was closed from then on. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered, and the Lei family returned to its rightful position.

In the next hundred years, it depends on whether Lei Zhanqian can get out of the shadow of being suppressed by Jiang Wang repeatedly. If he really can't get out, he will be silent.

The Lei family is not the only one that has fallen from power in history.

"My impression of Lu Shuang County is limited to Lu Ming wine." Jiang Wang said, "If I have a chance, I should have a drink with Lei Zhanqian. I just don't know if it's appropriate."

Because of Jiang Wuqi, Jiang Wang intended to help Lei Zhanqian get out of his disheartened state.

With his current status and position, he is indeed qualified to laugh away grudges. However, Lei Zhanqian is a person with too strong self-esteem. If you go to his house rashly, it may be counterproductive.

Lin Youxie was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I will leave Qi tomorrow and go to Sanxing Palace."

She certainly doesn't care about Lei Zhanqian, the Lei family, or even Lu Shuang County.

This sentence has nothing to do with the previous sentence.

But it also shows that this is what she really wants to say today.

So the departure she said is not an ordinary departure. The going to Sanxing Palace she said is not an ordinary disciple of the Legalist going to the holy land for further study.

Instead, he completely cut off ties with the country and all his identities related to Qi. From now on, he would only be a disciple of the Sanxing Palace.

Lin Kuang was dead, Wu Lie was also dead, Li Youjiu was cut into pieces, and the four Qingpai families that had made great contributions to the stability of Qi had disappeared.

But Lin Youxie still had a legacy in the Qingpai system and would still be taken care of in all aspects.

Her ancestors had lived in this country for generations, and she was born and grew up here. She had the deepest habits and the most sincere feelings for this place.

It was not easy to make this decision.

But Jiang Wang could certainly understand it.

If there was anyone in this huge empire who could understand Lin Youxie's feelings, it would probably be only Jiang Wang. Those countless tormented and expected nights disappeared before the same dawn, which was witnessed by Jiang Wang.

He was silent for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going to eat the wedding wine of Chong Xuansheng and Fourteen?"

"Are they going to get married?" Lin Youxie was slightly surprised, but not too upset.

"It may not be easy, but it will be done."

Lin Youxie said: "Then congratulate them for me."

Jiang Wang nodded and said: "After going to the Sanxing Palace, you don't need to do autopsies frequently, right?"

Lin Youxie said quietly: "Every country in the world has its own legal system, but there are not so many cases left to be handled by the Third Palace of Punishers. Moreover, I should not enter the Palace of Punishers."

"That's good." Jiang Wang nodded again, and then said, "I hope you will be happy there and achieve success in your studies."

Lin Youxie smiled at this time.

She smiled and looked at Jiang Wang: "When I was sitting here alone, I was thinking, what will you say when I tell you that I am leaving Qi State?"

Jiang Wang asked: "Then what do you think?"

"That's how it is now." Lin Youxie smiled and said, "This is what you would say."

Don't wait for Jiang Wang to say anything else.

She jumped down from the crossbar and waved her hand: "Let's go!"

Jiang Wang thought for a while and asked from behind: "Didn't I just leave tomorrow?"

Lin Youxie's figure had already walked away.

Only her voice remains in the forest——

"I said it wrong. It's today."

Jiang Wang said nothing more. Sitting alone on the branch of a tree, looking at the light passing through the gap in the forest, listening to the rustling sound of the leaves shaking in the wind.

Zhongxuansheng and Shishi were holding hands and talking outside the forest.

Speaking of getting dark, it turns out to be dawn again.

…

…

Phew~

Phew~

Ding ding ding ding ding~

The wind has different shapes. The wind blowing through the forest and blowing through the eaves have different sounds.

Under the eaves of Yi Mansion in Linzi, there are wind chimes embossed with flying birds.

The sound of the wind is therefore more specific.

The big sedan chair was carried to the door and then dropped down. The middle door of the palace was opened wide.

Jiang Wang was dressed formally today, with a jade sword and fancy clothes.

Suede boots, sapphire hair crown.

Outstanding appearance and graceful steps.

Just because it was a visit with a formal greeting card.

Yi Xingchen personally stood in the courtyard to greet him. Given his status, this is already a courtesy.

Jiang Wang quickly took a few steps closer and stepped forward to greet me: "How dare I bother you to greet me personally?"

"What kind of wind is blowing today? Marquis Wu'an actually came to visit!" Yi Xingchen said with complaint, "I thought you should have come long ago."

Jiang Wang was naturally frightened and explained how he was so busy that he had no time to spare.

Yi Xingchen naturally understood, and it would be great if he came now.

Some courtesies are boring, but necessary.

The connection between him and Yi Xingchen was the case of Cui Zhu's assassination of the emperor the year before last.

The list of talented candidates for the Yellow River Society has always been prepared by the Political Affairs Hall. At that time, Cui Zhu's name was the last one chosen by Yi Xingchen.

This matter may be big or small, sometimes it just happens in a thought.

Although Yi Xingchen could not be thrown into the dust because of this incident, once the purge occurred, he would inevitably lose some blood. Xiu Yuan, the commander of the prison electric army, missed too much because of Cui Zhu.

Jiang Wang stood up at that time to persuade the emperor to calm down his anger, thus avoiding a possible purge. Yi Xingchen also expressed later that in the case of Zhang Yong's Crying Temple, he gave support to Jiang Wang through his disciple Yang Weitong, deputy inspection envoy. He also gave Jiang Wang very dedicated guidance at the general station before setting off for the Yellow River Campaign.

The two sides developed a friendship.

Under Chong Xuansheng's control, Desheng Trading Company would send some gifts to Yi Xingchen's house in Jiang Wang's name every year, but the relationship was preserved. But a further friendship has never happened before.

Without it, the power and status would be too unequal.

Being far away makes people alienated, while flattery makes people look down upon. Chong Xuan Sheng has a good sense of proportion.

It's different now.

Nowadays, Jiang Wang is the youngest military meritorious prince in the Da Qi Empire. He has a household of 3,000 households. He is a person who can enter the political hall with dignity and observe political discussions.

Although it cannot be said that he can be compared with Yi Xingchen, he is still qualified to have an equal dialogue. There is nothing wrong with drinking tea leisurely, laughing and drinking, and talking about state and family affairs.

The two walked into the atrium and took their seats.

Naturally, we started by reminiscing about old times, then talked about the world situation, and discussed Taoist techniques... Yi Xingchen was the most famous magician in Linzi City.

After a while, Jiang Wang finally remembered the purpose of his trip, stopped asking for advice, looked around, and asked abruptly: "Why don't you see Mr. Ling?"

Yi Xingchen has two sons, one in his twenties and one in his thirties. Both have average qualifications and are far less romantic than Yi Xingchen.

As the saying goes, "There are few Yulangjuns in the world, and it is rare to see Yi Xingchen."

It's exactly what Li Zhengshu and Yi Xingchen looked like when they were young.

Some people often say that it is precisely because Yi Xingchen is so rare to see that he takes over the talent of the Yi family, making it difficult for future generations to gain it.

Of course, this is just gossip.

Yi Xingchen shook his head and said with some helplessness: "The eldest son Huai Yong, with dull qualifications, should be checking accounts at the household department right now. The second son Huai Min, with a wild temper and unruly temper, doesn't know which restaurant he is sleeping in right now. . In a few days, I’m going to send him to Xuansha to mine, so that he won’t be an eyesore around me.”

No matter what Yi Huaiyong or Yi Huaimin were, it was not a topic he would talk about casually with others. Talking about it with Jiang Wang was also a kind of closeness. I won't let them make friends, because they are destined not to be on the same level. Just like Yi Xingchen's tone at this moment, he had the attitude of chatting with Jiang Wang about the younger generation.

The person he currently favors to inherit his political resources is Yang Weitong, the deputy inspector. After all, the political platform is passed down by biological children, only talented ones can do it. Even if it is to pave the way for future generations, he will only let Yang Weitong and Jiang Wang have a good relationship.

Jiang Wang certainly won't be arrogant, but just said: "The two brothers have very good character, I know this very well. In today's world, character is the first priority. As for other things, it's not very important."

Yi Xingchen didn't know what Jiang Wang wanted to express, so he took a sip of tea and said: "They are not bad."

Jiang Wang said again: "The two brothers have their own priorities, and they must have no time to accompany the doctor..."

Yi Xingchen was amused.

What made Jiang Wang say that Yi Huaimin had priorities? Didn't he know about his own son? His character was similar to that of Chongxuan Mingguang, who just lived a life of idleness and waited for death.

But he didn't show anything on his face, just looked at Jiang Wang, waiting for him to get to the point.

Jiang Wang was indeed not a person who could be vague. At this point, he felt that the groundwork had been laid, so he said, "I suggest that you adopt an adopted daughter."

Even though Yi Xingchen was knowledgeable, he was a little stunned at this moment: "You mean, if the son is not ambitious, then don't want him?"

With Yi Xingchen's status and position, adopting an adopted daughter is not a simple matter, and it is not something that can be done with just a word. That must be properly entered into the Yi family genealogy, with the name recorded after Yi Xingchen. Recognized by the laws of Qi, she is truly qualified to inherit Yi Xingchen's family business.

"No, no, no." Jiang Wang hurriedly said, "I mean, daughters are more caring than sons, what do you think?"

Yi Xingchen sipped tea and smiled playfully: "I am getting more confused. What are you selling in this gourd? Sons and daughters, Wu Anhou now understands?"

The answer of this doctor Yi did not follow the expected routine at all.

Jiang Wang was speechless for a while.

After a while, he said, "I really think there is a girl who is very suitable to be your adopted daughter."

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "I don't think I am weak enough to need my daughter's care. Even if there is such a day, there are many servants in the house."

"What if your adopted daughter is the future wife of Marquis Bowang?" Jiang Wang asked.

Yi Xingchen finally became more serious and looked up at Jiang Wang: "Oh, really?"

Jiang Wang said solemnly: "And your adopted daughter is my best friend."

Yi Xingchen raised his head slightly: "Well... the future wife of Marquis Bowang, and the current friend of Marquis Wu'an."

Jiang Wang said: "It's true."

Yi Xingchen looked at him meaningfully: "For me, the latter point is particularly important."

Jiang Wang bowed his head and saluted: "I am honored."

Yi Xingchen sighed softly: "I think I may really be old and afraid of loneliness. If I can have a daughter to accompany me, it will be much better."

"I will definitely." Jiang Wang said: "Your daughter is very kind. Your son-in-law... is very lively."

He looked around and added seriously: "It's hard to contain the liveliness of this courtyard."

"Drink tea." Yi Xingchen said.

Ding ding ding ding ding~

The wind chimes under the eaves seem to be celebrating in advance.

This is May 3, 3921 of the Taoist calendar.

The summer in Linzi City is very noisy.
