Chapter 170: Son of a Thousand Pounds

Shaomeng had always been honest and straightforward, seeming quite innocent.Zhuge Suyao, Zhubi Qiong, Tianfu Secret Realm, Dianghai Lou, Hu Shaomeng...Jiang Wang's mind was a mess of tangled clues.Ju..."This isn't the first time you've gone all in. " Jiang Wang said, half reminding and half persuading, "You can't always have good luck."

“This time, marching into Yang Kingdom, I have gambled everything. If unsuccessful, I will die a hero's death. Now, there is no other choice but to fight.”

There was a hint of bitterness in Chong Xuan Sheng's voice, something easily overlooked: "You'll understand when you get to know Chong Xuan Zun. If I don't do this, there's no chance at all!"

"With Chongxuan, the Great General's military prowess, and coupled with the strength of the Qiu Sha Army, directly treating Song Guang as an enemy and attacking him alongside Yang Jiande shouldn't be a problem, right" Jiang Wang asked.

“So I took the initiative and requested it!” Chong Xuan Sheng said. “The subjugation of Yang Guo was a feat accomplished by the Grand Marshal. Dismantling the threat of these seventy thousand soldiers could be my achievement. I desperately need an accomplishment!”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wang asked, "Are you sure"

"I didn't have it before, but when I thought of you, I did!"

“So I came to ask you,” Chong Xuan said with a deep meaning, “Since we are sincerely cooperating, how can you not apologize after killing his concubine’s son”

Although Chongxuan didn't explicitly say it, Jiang Wang already understood his meaning completely.

What is called a negotiation, is not a negotiation.

This person intends to use the pretext of discussion to carry out an assassination!

If Song Guang could be killed on the spot, the rebels in Rizhao County would lose their leader and their threat would vanish.

However, Song Guang was still a powerful figure with years of experience in internal cultivation, and he now commanded 70,000 soldiers.

If both sides were to confront him, he would only need to deploy his grand formation once, and a single clash would obliterate both Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang.

When war broke out, Song Guang would certainly not be caught unprepared. His 70,000 soldiers were camped just outside the county seat, and with his skill in internal cultivation, he could reach it in a few breaths.

Even if they were assassins who suddenly attacked within the county government, with Song Guang's cultivation, as long as he slightly revealed a gap, once he escaped, in an instant, he could lead the army to counterattack... at that time, they wouldn't even be able to escape.

This doesn't even take into account the other masters that would definitely be in the county government!

Jiang Wang had many reasons to refuse, and they were all completely justified.

For example, Song Guang, a strong Inner Palace Realm expert, they were just Tenglong Realm cultivators.

For example, he had only just opened the Heavenly Gate and was far from exploring the peak of the Tenglong Realm.

For example, this was a completely avoidable adventure. Chong Xuan was too addicted to gambling and how could he risk so much for just a little military merit...

But in the end, Jiang Wang only said, "It's time to apologize to the county magistrate!"

Only Chongxuan Sheng, Fourteen, Jiang Wang, and Xiang Qian remained to go to the county city.

Facing the garrison commander of Rizhao County, who had seventy thousand soldiers at his command, sending more people would be useless.

It's better to just have the four of us go, that way Song Guang will be less suspicious.

The four of them flew all the way, none of them with weak cultivation, directly flying from Qingyang Town to outside the county city before landing.

Generally, outsiders are not allowed to fly directly within the city.

The sprawling military camp was set up just outside the city, visible at a glance. Within the camp, only routine drills were taking place, but an air of formidable intensity hung heavy in the atmosphere.

Looking at the military camp, Zhong Xuan suddenly sighed: "As they say, 'a thousand-gold son never sits idle in his family hall.' It's a pity that a thousand-gold son has already been named Zhong Xuan. I guess I can only be like a thousand-pound son."

Jiang Wang glanced at his physique and nodded knowingly: "A child weighing a thousand pounds, life hanging by a thread"

Zhong Xuan laughed heartily, then suddenly stopped: “I hope this thread is strong enough!”

Fourteen remained silent, walking forward with a stoic expression.

Since I had already delivered a visiting card in advance, I was not worried about being turned away by Song Guang.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, someone from the county governor's mansion came to greet him. This person was the steward of Song Guangfu's household, a completely trusted confidant. He also bore the surname Song, likely a bestowed name.

The city was very peaceful. It was probably the camp of 70,000 soldiers stationed outside the city that gave this city a sense of security.

A group of people went straight to the county government office.

For Jiang Wang, this is already his second time here.

However, this time he was welcomed in the inner courtyard instead of the reception hall. This indicated that it was a private matter, and those who knew their identities had probably been silenced.

Fourteen and Xiangqian were stopped outside the inner courtyard.

“I apologize, but the guards are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.” Manager Song said apologetically.

The older one gets, the smaller their courage becomes. Even two guards of the Tenglong realm need to block the way, which shows Song Guang's caution.

"No problem," Chong Xuan laughed. "Just wait for us outside."

Jiang Wang also nodded in agreement.

If one couldn't set up the sword formation in advance, they wouldn't be able to demonstrate their inner strength level. It would be better to have him stay outside and, if necessary, he could team up with the Fourteenth to intercept reinforcements from other masters of the Sunlit County Manor.

Fourteen said nothing and followed along with him, led by a servant from the county magistrate's residence to rest.

Jiang Wangze and Chong Xuan Sheng, accompanied by Song Butler, walked into the inner courtyard.

Stepping into the inner courtyard, one couldn't help but feel as if it were a hidden paradise.

The courtyard is deep and secluded, with all its arrangements, quite elegant.

Jiang Wang initially thought that someone as greedy as Song Guang would live in a place paved with gold bricks and built with jade walls. Upon seeing it, however, he found it rather tasteful.

"Clearly, 'elegance' is also something that can be bought with money, it's nothing special. Even if you don't understand it yourself, you can just pay someone who understands elegance to arrange it for you."

Song Guanshi led the way ahead, his footsteps light and silent. He was also a cultivator beyond the ordinary, but his strength was definitely no more than the Tenglong realm.

After turning several corridors, Song Guang waited for them in his tea room.

Two guards stood outside the door, eyes fixed straight ahead. Jiang Wang noticed that they both had the cultivation of the Heavenly Transcendence Realm.

Pushing open the wooden door, a elegantly decorated tea room came into view before Jiang Wang and his companion.

A long wooden table, Song Guang sat widely opposite, with a woman of heavy makeup and alluring beauty nestled beside him.

This woman with heavy makeup sat down, and the elegant atmosphere of the entire tea room disappeared.

There was a hint of mockery in Chongxuan's eyes, but his smile remained warm and genuine on the surface.

Song the steward entered the tea room and knelt down on one side, lighting incense for several people.

Across from Song Guang, there was only a single cushion. It was clear that no place had been left for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang didn't take it to heart, just casually sat down on the ground.

Zhong Xuan Sheng used his foot to push the only cushion aside and sat directly on the ground.

Song Guang noticed this scene but didn't say anything special.

At this time, his situation was completely different from when he first met Jiang Wang. Although he was also a governor back then, he still showed due respect to the prestigious Chongxuan Family of Great Qi. Or perhaps, he respected their potential financial assistance.

Now he commands seventy thousand soldiers, and any faction would have to court him. A few donations are no longer enough to catch his eye.

After settling down, Chong Xuan smiled and said: "Sorry, I'm a bit overweight."

"You're a blessed person, aren't you" Song Guang smiled and raised his hand. "Please, have some tea."
