Chapter 237: Famous in the South! The Fierce Power Begins to Show.
When Jiang Che began to gradually take over a series of affairs in Tiannan Pass, the result of his battle with Gao Qinian had just begun to ferment, like a hurricane, gradually stirring up a storm in Tiannan City and even outside the city.
After all, Gao Qinian's reputation was really not small. Although his strength was not the top in the area of hundreds of miles around Tiannan Pass, he was definitely an old master.
In addition, he had been operating in Tiannan Pass for more than ten years and had the support of the Tiannan Gao family. His reputation was really not small. After knowing that Jiang Che was trying to seize his position, most people actually thought that a good show would happen.
They were also happy about this. After all, the more chaotic the government was, the greater the benefits that the martial artists in the rivers and lakes could get.
But no one expected that Jiang Che's style of doing things would be so violent. There was no preparation at all, no turnaround, and he directly invited the other party to fight as soon as he took office.
The key is that he did it.
He established his reputation in one battle, and beat Gao Qinian so hard that he had no power to fight back. Moreover, he had no intention of forbearing in the face of many Jianghu masters who were watching.
With a word of "get out", everyone was scared away.
Such strength and power even far exceeded Gao Qinian.
And his cultivation strength was also praised by many warriors. Among them, the most noteworthy thing was not that Jiang Che entered the Xuandan and became a master at the age of just over 20, but what was really shocking was that he had already faintly comprehended the power of heaven and earth!
This is the source of many people's fear of Jiang Che.
When he first entered the Xuandan, he comprehended the power of heaven and earth. Looking at the whole Jianghu, there are not many people who can do it. In the impression of many people, it takes at least several years to comprehend the state of power. Only when you reach the Zhendan cultivation in the middle stage of Xuandan can you touch the threshold.
When you break through the Jindan realm in the late stage of Xuandan, you can truly control part of the power of heaven and earth.
This is the normal progress of cultivation!
For this reason, many masters felt that there were few people in Yuezhou who could rival Jiang Che below the Jindan level, which made his ferocity even more terrifying.
Many warriors who had wanted to sit back and watch the infighting in the government and profit from it quickly suppressed that idea.
Jiang Che was now a new official, and no one wanted to touch his brow at this time, so as not to be implicated.
Nanling Prefecture City, Ning Wang Mansion.
Looking at the news sent back in his hands, Ning Wang's son Ji Changqing frowned and looked solemn. Before, after Jiang Che entered the city, he set off to return to the palace, wanting to sit back and watch Jiang Che and Gao Qinian fight.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Che fought with Gao Qinian as soon as he left. The most important thing was that Gao Qinian was suppressed without any room for resistance.
This was far beyond his expectations. He was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos in Tiannan to reach an exchange of interests with Nanyue. If Jiang Che unified Tiannan City with his powerful power.
It will definitely threaten the plan of the palace.
"This Gao Qinian is such a waste!"
Ji Changqing threw the letter in his hand on the table with a gloomy face. Before, the Ning Palace had also made a lot of moves on the position of Tiannanguan Grand Commander.
Unfortunately, the Gao family was not suppressed. I thought that this person would be easier to deal with, so I didn't bet too much. As a result, someone took advantage of it and threatened the palace.
"Your Highness, Young Master Wei is here."
A voice sounded outside the study.
Ji Changqing took a deep breath, restrained the gloomy expression on his face, and then put the letter away. He forced a smile on his face, stood up and walked to the door, chuckled:
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your style is better than before."
"Don't mention it. I've been very unlucky recently." Wei Junjie exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face looked a little ugly, and followed the other party in.
"Why, you have become the young master of the Wei family, who dares to do dirty things to you?" Ji Changqing was a little surprised, he knew that this cousin was highly valued by the head of the Wei family.
Although his qualifications and reputation were average, he was the son who looked most like his uncle, and he was valued a lot since he was a child. For this reason, he also spent a lot of time to get closer to this cousin.
And the reason why he called him cousin was because his mother, Princess Ning, was from the direct line of the Wei family, and the relationship between her and the head of the Wei family was also quite close, and they were cousins.
"Young master of the Wei family. Alas. Not anymore." Wei Junjie shook his head bitterly, looking a little lonely.
"Huh? What's the situation?"
Ji Changqing looked puzzled.
Wei Junjie sighed lightly and told the other party the cause and effect.
Since the end of the Xuanling Secret Realm, his position as the young master has been questioned within the Wei family, causing many elders to oppose it, and at this critical moment, something went wrong with the Qi family.
Because of Wei Yingjie, the Qi family was completely enraged, causing the upcoming marriage to fall through.
This also became the last straw that broke the camel's back. After all, the reason why Wei Junjie was so concerned about the marriage was because he could secure the position of the young master after the marriage with the Qi family.
After the marriage was broken, under the opposition of many elders of the Wei family, his father could only temporarily cancel his position as the young master under pressure and let him come to Tiannan to try to make him regain the favor of Qi Ningbing.
In this way, there may still be a chance.
"It's this Jiang Che again." After hearing about his cousin's experience, Ji Changqing couldn't help but speak.
"Again? Changqing, do you also have a grudge against Jiang Che?"
Wei Junjie was a little suspicious. He knew that Jiang Che had just been transferred to Tiannan. Could it be that in just a few days, they had already become enemies?
"There are no old grudges, but there are new grudges. The palace has a lot of interests in the Tiannan Pass line. I thought I could take advantage of the dispute between Jiang Che and Gao Qinian, but it turned out..."
Ji Changqing also briefly told Jiang Che's suppression of Gao Qinian.
Wei Junjie was immediately surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"Jiang Che really defeated Gao Qinian? I remember that guy has real alchemy cultivation, right?"
He clearly remembered Jiang Che's cultivation, that is, he had just formed the elixir when he was in the Xuanling Secret Realm. How he could enter the realm so quickly was really unimaginable and even harder to believe for him.
When did it become so easy to break through in cultivation?
"There were many onlookers in that battle, so there will be no lies."
Ji Changqing said in a deep voice.
"This" Wei Junjie was silent. He thought that he would be able to catch up with or even surpass Jiang Che sooner or later with the help of the resources of the Wei family.
Judging from the current situation, the vow he once secretly made may become more difficult.
Don’t be fooled into being poor when you are young, you may even become poor when you are middle-aged or even poor when you are old.
The most important thing is that with Jiang Che as a comparison, wouldn't Qi Ningbing, who already dislikes or even hates him, look down on him even more? Could it be that his position as the young master of the Wei family was completely lost like this?
He is unwilling to do so.
"But cousin, there is no need to feel too uncomfortable. As the saying goes, if a tree is as beautiful as Lin Feng, it will be destroyed. That Jiang Che was so high-profile and suppressed Gao Qinian would not only make the Gao family angry.
The Jianghu forces near Tiannan City will probably not sit back and watch the sudden arrival of the Supreme Emperor. They will definitely find a way to deal with this person. By then, I don't know if you, cousin, will still have a chance. "
Seeing that Wei Junjie was in a bad mood, Ji Changqing comforted him.
"Counting on others, I might as well count on myself." Wei Junjie once had this idea, hoping to see Jiang Che defeated at the hands of the Longhu Taoist Sect and the Lin family.
The results of it?
In the end, Jiang Che dominated all parties. If he hadn't behaved submissively, he might have fallen into the secret realm.
"What my cousin said makes sense. How about we join forces to deal with Jiang Che." Ji Changqing suggested with squinted eyes. The Wei family's power in Yuezhou is not weak, and they also have great influence on the Tiannan Pass trade road. A lot of profit.
He also wanted to completely pull the Wei family into the camp of Prince Ning's Mansion to pursue a great cause.
Even his father said at the beginning that the reason why he married the Wei family's legitimate daughter was to use the power of the Wei family in the future.
As the eldest son, he also didn't want to be like his father and have to pretend to be cowardly all his life. He was afraid that the royal family would be afraid of him. That's why he planned all this.
"Jiang Che is not an easy person to deal with."
Wei Junjie looked hesitant. Although he had been unhappy with Jiang Che for a long time, for some reason he was very afraid of that guy and always felt that he might suffer a big loss.
"No matter how strong Jiang Che is, he is only one person. Even if he has the Beiling Qi clan as his backer, he is still alone after all. Furthermore, this place is thousands of miles away from Yunzhou.
You can't borrow much power at all. Many forces join forces to subdue this person easily. You don't want Jiang Che to really dominate one side, after all, you are also the dignified young master of the Wei family."
"Where is Junjie?"
Just when Ji Changqing kept chanting in an attempt to persuade Wei Junjie, a gentle female voice suddenly came from outside. She immediately choked and stopped talking.
"Meet the princess!"
"Meet the princess!"
Several guards at the door saluted quickly and also revealed the identity of the visitor.
"Aunt, I'm here." Wei Junjie stood up quickly to greet her.
Outside the study, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and a tall and plump figure stepped into the study. His beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, looked around the study and fixed on Wei Junjie. A smile appeared on his face and he whispered:
"Junjie, you haven't been to the palace for a long time."
"Auntie, forgive me, but my nephew was delayed by other things before, so..." Wei Junjie explained quickly.
"You always do this when you lie."
Princess Ning saw through Wei Junjie's little thoughts at a glance.
"My child has met my mother and concubine." Ji Changqing also saluted quickly and was very respectful.
"What are you and Junjie talking about?"
"Mother concubine, my cousin was relieved of his position as young master by my cousin."
Princess Ning frowned slightly:
"What's going on, Junjie, did you make a mistake?"
"Aunt, it's like this." Wei Junjie was still a little scared when facing this always powerful aunt, and quickly explained the cause and effect.
"So, unless that girl from the Qi family agrees to a marriage, can you hope to regain your position as young master?"
"yes."
Wei Junjie touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Don't come forward about this matter yet. I'll go to Tiannan City to meet the girl and test it out." Princess Ning's beautiful eyes moved and she decided to help her nephew.
"Concubine, Tiannan is too dangerous, you should stay in the palace."
Ji Changqing said quickly.
"What's the danger? No matter how arrogant Jiang Che is, will he still dare to be rude to me? Even if Prince Ning's palace declines, it is still a branch of the royal family. As long as he is not caught with anything, nothing will happen.
In addition, I also want to go to Yuanhe Mountain. The prince is grounded and cannot show up in public. I am used to these things. "Princess Ning said in a deep voice.
She is not a weak woman. As a former direct daughter of the Wei family and now Princess Ning, she is actually involved in many of Prince Ning's plans. She also wants to completely let the Wei family support the great cause of Prince Ning's palace.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so close to Wei Junjie.
"Okay."
Ji Changqing couldn't resist her mother-in-law and could only nod.
"Why are there so many things? Who gave them to me?" In the main hall of the city lord's palace, Qi Ningbing walked in and looked at the many gifts piled next to her, and looked at Jiang Che with some curiosity.
Jiang Che, who was at the top, shook his head:
"I can't remember exactly who gave it to me, but I remember clearly who didn't give it to me."
Three days have passed since the day he took office, and after he defeated Gao Qinian and completely established his reputation, there was an endless stream of forces in Tiannan City giving gifts.
Within a few days, it was full of people, and he made a small fortune.
Unfortunately, among so many treasures, not many were valuable, and there were no sacrifices to satisfy his appetite. As a result, he could only secretly reveal the information and purchase a Golden Spirit Lotus and Dragon Heart Nine Ye Zhi at a high price.
"You are becoming more and more comfortable as an official." Qi Ningbing rolled her eyes at Jiang Che and said angrily.
"There is no way, the atmosphere in the world is so bad, I can only go with the flow and open the window to let all the bad atmosphere blow in." Jiang Che smiled lightly.
"By the way, I heard that Gao Qinian left Tiannan City?"
"Well, he was seriously injured. He asked me for leave to recuperate, so I agreed to it." Jiang Che nodded, feeling that Gao Qinian was quite aware of current affairs and knew that he was an eyesore.
Of course, maybe he is preparing to deal with him.
However, Jiang Che didn't care too much about this. Since he dared to do it, he was already prepared for the Gao family's revenge. At the same time, he also took advantage of this period to start to win over officials at all levels in the divided city and try to control the sky. Nanguan armed forces.
"Then you have to be careful, otherwise that guy will hold his breath and look for trouble. Besides, I heard that people in the city are discussing you recently, saying that you are too domineering and so on.
Maybe the nearby Jianghu forces will cause trouble. "
Qi Ningbing reminded in a calm voice.
She has taken over part of the Qi family's power in Tiannan and is very well-informed.
"I just wish they would cause trouble and be wiped out once and for all."
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Almost all the Jianghu forces within a hundred miles of Tiannan City have a foothold, and they all have the support of big forces behind them." Qi Ningbing looked solemn.
"The imperial court is standing behind me!"
"That's true. They probably don't dare to blatantly resist the imperial court."
