Chapter 1710 No News
There are hundreds of different people in this world.
Some people can take it and let it go, while others can't take it but can let it go.
Uncle Mingguang is the latter.
In short, sometimes I will have a sudden idea to do something and try hard. Once there is no result, I will forget it immediately.
Of course, Jiang Wang followed Chong Xuansheng's sense and liked Uncle Mingguang for a long time. If it weren't for Uncle Mingguang, would Desheng Commercial Bank have developed so fast?
In the words of Chong Xuansheng, how can you forget the well digger when you drink water.
In Wu'an Marquis's mansion, Jiang Wang was urging Chu Yao to practice boxing.
He has actually been hesitating about one thing recently, that is, whether to bring An'an to Qi.
It's not that Jiang An'an will leave Lingxiao Pavilion.
He has long had no such idea.
Jiang An'an has been in Lingxiao Pavilion for four years and has a deep affection for Lingxiao Pavilion. It is impossible for her to leave it. Moreover, her practice has been built in the system of Lingxiao Pavilion from the beginning, and it is carried out under the guidance of Ye Lingxiao, the real person of the time. If he changed it now, it would mean that all his previous hard work would be wasted.
Besides, no matter how much favor he used, or how powerful a master he invited for Jiang Anan, it would be difficult for him to treat Jiang Anan better than Ye Lingxiao did now.
He was very grateful to Lingxiao Pavilion for taking care of Anan, and he was also very relieved about Anan's life in Lingxiao Pavilion.
So what he hesitated about was... whether to let Jiang Anan share his glory, the results of his hard work, and everything he had gained today.
Should he let the whole world know that Jiang Wang, the Marquis of Wu'an in Daqi, had a sister whom he regarded as his life and treasured as a treasure, and her name was Jiang Anan?
He was willing to do so, and he really wanted to share it with his sister.
Whenever he achieved something, he wanted to see his sister's admiring eyes.
But he didn't know if he could do this.
Can he now let his sister walk in the sun with peace of mind, and can he completely protect his sister?
He would never forget the fear he felt and the pain he experienced on the day when Fenglin City fell.
That kind of pain made him afraid of losing her until now.
Even now that he has become the youngest military meritorious marquis in Qi, he still lacks a sense of security for the person who is most important to him.
"Master! What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yao was wearing a black leather armor and practicing boxing, darting around like a black loach.
This leather armor was specially tailored by an excellent craftsman, taking into full consideration Chu Yao's physical fitness, so that he could practice very tired but not hurt his body.
As he was darting around, he suddenly turned in front of Jiang Wang, raised his head, and asked curiously.
At that time, Jiang Wang was looking at the sunset in the west with his hands behind his back, and the sunset reflected the divine light in his eyes. His eyebrows were clear and sparse, and there were edges and corners in his gentleness, and there was also majesty under his indifference.
"Oh, I'm thinking about your senior brother." He said so.
"What kind of person is he?" Chu Yao asked excitedly.
"He is a very qualified apprentice. Just like the set of boxing I just taught you, he won't talk nonsense to me unless he practices it a hundred times." Jiang Wang said faintly.
Chu Yao silently waved his fists and stepped on the footwork, turning and turning.
Speaking of Tang Dun.
In the beginning, he could not be considered a disciple.
After all, Jiang Wang was very weak at that time. And Tang Dun was already very old. He only agreed to teach him martial arts and help him prepare for the outer gate examination of Fenglin City Taoist Academy because he saw that he was simple and sincere.
Later, Jiang Anan called Tang Dun "senior apprentice" all the time, and Tang Dun also called "senior sister Anan" all the time, picking up and dropping off Jiang Anan to and from school every day.
So he agreed to it in a confused manner.
Although Tang Dun had mediocre qualifications and ordinary background, he could not be said to have any culture. But after spending a long time with him, you can feel that he is a pure-hearted person.
Honest but not stupid, down-to-earth and sober.
He has his own ideals that are not grand, and he is willing to make unremitting efforts for them.
He just wanted to cultivate some skills, and when he was "as powerful as Mr. Jiang", he would return to Tangshe Town to be a constable, truly protect the peace of Tangshe Town, and prevent the tragedy of the demon from exterminating the family from happening again.
He didn't understand that the disasters in this world changed suddenly, and those high and mighty people never cared about the lives of ants. Those ambitious people with green eyes could always easily use human lives as bargaining chips. Even if he really learned skills in Fenglin City Taoist Academy, when greater danger came, he would be just like dust.
He couldn't think that far.
He was indeed like dust.
Later, the entire Fenglin City area sank, and Tangshe Town, which he wanted to protect with all his heart, was of course included.
On the day when Fenglin City had an accident, he happened to be with Jiang Wang.
At that time, they were planning to gather friends together, find an excellent restaurant, and have a lively time before the New Year.
The next moment, the ground cracked and the city sank.
Between the cracks in the earth, above the rolling magma, he thought of "Senior Sister An'an". He asked Jiang Wang to save Jiang An'an.
Is Tang Dun a stupid person?
He actually has a very transparent heart.
He knows who treats him well, who is sincere to him, and who is false.
For example, he once said to Jiang Wang - "Senior Brother Zhang is very polite, but he is not close to people."
If Jiang Wang could pay attention to this sentence at that time, he might have discovered that something was wrong with Zhang Linchuan earlier.
Of course, discovering Zhang Linchuan's problem early would not change the ending of Maple Forest City. Because those who are truly capable and responsible for changing that ending are actually looking forward to the tragedy...
Jiang Wang recognized Tang Dun as his apprentice.
He would always admit that he had such a great apprentice.
He was proud of having such a apprentice, and ashamed of not being able to protect such a apprentice.
This was one of the things he told Chu Yao that would make him feel ashamed.
He had never told Chu Yao in detail what kind of person his founding apprentice was. He wanted to wait until one day, take Chu Yao to Maple Forest City, and then slowly tell the story of Tang Dun.
He believed that day would not be far away.
"My Lord."
When Chu Yao was exhausted and panting, the housekeeper Xie Ping walked into the yard with a letter in his hand: "The letter was returned again."
Jiang Wang took it and looked at it, frowned and said: "What's going on?"
The letter he wrote to Lin Youxie earlier was sent to Tianxing Cliff through the channels of Qi State, but it was returned intact.
Because it was just a letter that was not urgent, Xie Ping did not think of a way to contact him who was already in southern Xinjiang.
This time when he returned to Linzi, he learned about this matter. He didn't know what went wrong, so he asked Xie Ping to send it again. Unexpectedly, it was still returned...
He felt uneasy.
"I specifically asked the messenger to ask this time." Xie Ping explained: "The reply from the Sanxing Palace said... No such person was found."
"No such person was found?" Jiang Wang's eyebrows twisted into a river shape: "Lin Youxie went to Sanxing Palace for further study, how could there be no such person?"
"I don't know about this..." Xie Ping tentatively said: "Did Lord Lin change her mind later and not go to Sanxing Palace?"
"Are you sure it was delivered to the official disciples of Sanxing Palace, and not stopped by someone outside Tianxing Cliff?" Jiang Wang asked.
Xie Ping said: "My Lord, what is your position and identity? The correspondence officer will not ignore the letter sent from our mansion, and the Sanxing Palace will not just dismiss it casually."
"That's strange..."
The more Jiang Wang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had already had a deep understanding of the Sanxing Palace's style of doing things in the Xuehe Sect. They would definitely not just find an excuse to seal his letter back. There was no reason to do so.
And if Lin Youxie had no intention of going to the Sanxing Palace, why would he lie to him?
He pondered for a moment and ordered: "Take my business card and go to the Capital Inspection Office and ask them to help check Lin Youxie's whereabouts. In addition, in my name, ask the Sanxing Palace to help confirm whether there is no Lin Youxie in the three major palaces of Guitian Palace, Judi Palace, and Xingren Palace?"
Xie Ping immediately accepted the order and turned around to do his work.
"Wait." Jiang Wang stopped him again: "I will go to the Capital Inspection Office by myself, you can ask Sanxing Palace to help confirm the news. Take some gold and ask the communication officer to do it urgently."
"Okay. I'll have someone prepare a car for you."
The matter was decided here in a hurry.
Chu Yao's eyes lit up and looked over expectantly: "Master!"
The Capital Inspection Office, it sounds like a very impressive government office. He also wanted to take a look.
Jiang Wang just pointed his finger: "Practice your boxing at home."
The monkey lowered his eyebrows and looked obediently, got ready, and started fighting again.
...
Marquis Wu'an hadn't been to the Capital Inspection Office for a long time, but he was still warmly welcomed when the carriage arrived.
This military merit marquis with a third-grade green badge on his waist is the pride of the Qi State Green Badge. I don't know how many people were shocked by his gorgeous transformation from a green-branded head constable to a military merit marquis.
In recent months, there have been several personnel changes in the Qi court, which Jiang Wang has paid more attention to.
One is that Du Hou Cao Jie resigned from the post of commander of the Spring Death Army, replaced the God of War, and took charge of the Tianfu Army on behalf of the emperor.
In name, Jiang Mengxiong no longer has a strong army under his command, but this does not mean that he has lost power. Because he is still the head of the Military Affairs Hall and the Grand Marshal of the Great Qi. And the new commander of the Spring Death Army is Chen Zeqing, the disciple of the God of War.
This change of military positions certainly has more or less some exchanges at the political level, but in Jiang Wang's view, the more important meaning behind this matter may lie in the God of War himself.
He guessed that the God of War Jiang Mengxiong might be moving towards another level.
Just as Yan Ping attributed his great power to himself after retiring as the prime minister, he truly became the True Lord of Yandao. Now that the God of War has released all military power, what realm will he reach?
Another thing worth noting is that Zheng Shi, the former commander of the Northern Ya, has resigned, released his long-suppressed cultivation, easily achieved the divine presence, and then airdropped into the Zhanyu Army to serve, ranking first among the eight generals of the Zhanyu Army. It is clear that he is going for the vacant position of the commander of the Zhanyu Army.
Yan Tu was cut to death, and the position of the commander of the Zhanyu Army is a huge fat piece of meat that has been vacant.
If the casualties of Tian Anping's troops were not so heavy in the Qi-Xia war, it would not have caused so much alienation of the troops. With his merits and cultivation that is enough to match the commander of the nine soldiers, this position is actually very likely to be his.
If the Tian family can command a strong army of nine soldiers, their momentum will surely be greatly boosted.
It's a pity that Tian Anping is so unreassuring.
Zheng Shi has been in charge of the Northern Ya for many years, and his merits and qualifications are not lacking, but his cultivation is insufficient, and it is difficult to convince the public to airdrop to the commander of the nine soldiers. But now it seems that he should have regarded that position as something in his pocket.
At that time, Chongxuan Chuliang was able to control Qiusha with the cultivation of the top god. Although he could not compare with Chongxuan Chuliang, he was already a strong man in the god realm when he became a god. Dongzhen was not hopeless.
Although not every Beiya Duwei can reach a high position, there are always many who do not end well in this position.
But a Beiya Duwei who can sit long enough and stable enough must be the emperor's confidant and must have enough talent.
I just don't know which type Yang Weitong, the new inspector of the capital inspection office, is.
Yes, among the two people who were actively competing for the position of Beiya Duwei, Jiang Wang resigned from his post, and Chen Fu's disciple Zhang Weiyu also failed to get his wish.
The one who finally sat in this position was Yi Xingchen's disciple, Yang Weitong, who had always been low-key.
The former deputy inspector Yang Weitong was a person that Yi Xingchen intended to inherit the political platform, so his talent would not be bad.
Jiang Wang had contact with him earlier and had a very good impression of him. But it was only a preliminary impression. After Yi Xingchen adopted Fourteen as his adopted daughter, they had more interactions.
He came to Beiya this time without saying hello to anyone in advance, but he still ran into Zheng Shangming by chance.
"My Lord!" Zheng Shangming looked very surprised and strode forward: "Why do you have time to come here today?"
As the son of the former Beiya Commander, he did not get the position of a deputy inspector directly as Jiang Wang thought. The fifth-rank green card was still hanging around his waist.
Thinking about it carefully, this is actually a smarter choice. He went up step by step, and there would be much less resistance when he took back the position of Beiya Commander in the future.
"Brother Shangming." Jiang Wang said with a faint smile: "Still call me as before, I'm not used to you calling me like that."
Some people I met in Linzi earlier gradually drifted away and became different.
He and Chong Xuansheng shared honor and disgrace and were in the same boat.
With Yan Fu and Li Longchuan, they seek common ground while reserving differences and are loyal to each other.
With Gao Zhe, they are on different paths and cannot make plans together. Only superficial courtesy and interests are involved.
With Zheng Shangming, they are also on different paths. They have different ambitions and cannot become close friends, but there is still some affection. Now because of Yi Xingchen, they can get a little closer.
The relationship between people will be affected by too many factors. It is these thousands of threads that entangle the world. Jiang Wang has been moving forward and feeling all the time.
"You are the Marquis wherever you go now. I am afraid that if I suddenly say Brother Jiang, you will be uncomfortable." Zheng Shangming took over the conversation with a smile, and then said naturally: "What's the matter, are you here to inspect the work today, or are you concerned about the people and want to handle a few cases in person?"
His smooth and versatile appearance is completely different from before.
"Nothing else." Jiang Wang said directly: "It's just a friend of mine. I don't know why I haven't heard from her recently. I want to use the Qingpai channel to help find out where she went."
"Our government is very good at finding people." Zheng Shangming agreed to it after hearing this, and then said: "Who is your friend?"
"Lin Youxie." Jiang Wang looked into Zheng Shangming's eyes when he spoke.
Zheng Shangming's eyes tightened for a moment, and his brows frowned, but soon smoothed out.
"Captain Lin lost contact?" He said: "I will give orders immediately to investigate this matter with all my strength."
