Chapter 71: The Young Are Fearless

ight him to the death today... perhaps I would be inferior.”Zhong Liyan glanced at him: "I said, Master Fan, what kind of low profile are you putting on in front of me"After the end of the Yellow Rive...After identifying Zheng Shangming as the stalker, Jiang Wang did not become complacent, believing he had handled the matter perfectly. Instead, upon returning home, he immediately communicated with Chong Xuansheng.

And Chong Xuan immediately saw through Wen Lianmu's plan, rushed to the Northern Palace, and told Zheng Shi of the imminent danger. Only then did Zheng Shi take timely action.

Zheng Shiluan didn't even have time to change his official robes before rushing to the Zhen Guo Taishuai Mansion, where he personally brought back Zheng Shangming unharmed.

Wang Yiwu, though he clashed with the Northern Barracks Commander, failed to achieve his goals. He ended up losing more than he gained, like a thief who failed to steal chickens and lost his own rice instead.

Zheng Shi led Zheng Shangming back to the Inspectorate in the north of the city. The reason he didn't let his son go home first was that he wanted him to greet Chong Xuan and thank him, as well as get acquainted with him.

Because of this incident, he naturally had some resentment towards Wang Yiwu. But to truly confront the Great Marshal's Mansion head-on seemed like it hadn't gotten to that point. After all, Zheng Shangming returned unharmed, and Wang Yiwu's backer, Jiang Mengxiong, was considered a divine military figure by the people of Qi state.

He was in a difficult position as the commander of the Northern Army, so his attitude towards Chong Xuan Sheng was rather contradictory. On one hand, he was grateful; on the other hand, could he, the esteemed commander of the Northern Army, really participate in the confrontation between Chong Xuan Sheng and Wang Yi Wu

Zheng Shangming, who is the same age as them, is undoubtedly a good buffer. No matter what Zheng Shangming does, his father still has room to cushion him.

Having made thorough plans to return to the patrol headquarters, the patrol soldiers informed Zheng Shi that Chong Xuan had left shortly before him and did not wait at the patrol headquarters to take credit.

"What did he say when he left" Zheng Shiwen asked.

The guard replied, "Young Master Sheng said it's a trifle, nothing to worry about! He also said that he wasn't doing this to help others, but to help himself."

That's being quite straightforward.

Zheng Shi pondered for a moment, then glanced at his son, but said nothing more.

Grand Marshal's Mansion of the State

In response to Wang Yiwu's question, Zheng Shi was able to arrive in time to stop them from using Zheng Shangming as a bargaining chip and leveraging the power of Beiya.

Wen Lianmu could only return a wry smile: “I think, Chong Xuan Sheng must still be in Beiya.”

Wang Yi understood the meaning behind this wry smile.

Zhonghuang Sheng had an acute sense of conspiracy! He was incredibly slick, nothing could ever touch him.

And it is quite obvious that he also had a sufficient understanding of Zheng Shangming, not inferior to Wen Lianmu. This enabled him to see through his schemes in time.

If he were in a different place, he thought to himself, he could never have responded so quickly.

The reason I don't think it was Jiang Wang who thought of this step is because if Jiang Wang could have thought of it, he wouldn't have let Zheng Shangming go at all back then, and he wouldn't have allowed Zheng Shangming to come to the Marshal's Mansion and surrender himself.

When Wen Lianmu first calculated against Chong Xuan Sheng's failure, he even mocked him a bit. This was because at that time, he had considerable confidence in Wen Lianmu and didn't think that a temporary setback was a big deal.

This time the loss was even more severe, yet he showed no resentment whatsoever. He simply asked, “What are your plans now”

Wen Lianmu will wipe away the wry smile, his eyes were not downcast, but rather radiant. He truly enjoyed the feeling of battling it out with people.

This filled him with passion.

"I let you offend people!"

Wang Yi's eyelids didn't even twitch: "If I offended him, so what He's not that big of a deal anyway."

Whether it's Bao Zhongqing or Zheng Shi, they are all the same. The former is far from his opponent, and the latter will sooner or later be surpassed by him.

Wen Lianmu let out a snort: "Fishing won't work anymore, he always takes the bait but never bites. To catch this fat fish, it's better to just dig up the embankment, drain the water, and dry up the pond!"

"Conspiracy is useless, use strategy!"

"How to dig the dyke, release water, and drain the pond" Wang Yiwu asked.

From our research on Chong Xuan Sheng recently, we can tell that the people he trusts most are his personal bodyguard, Fourteen, and Jiang Wang, supposedly from the Zhuang Kingdom in the Western Region. They can be considered his left and right arms.

All the information was in Wen Lianmu's mind, he didn't need to think about it carefully and directly stated: "I found an interesting detail. When Jiang Wang participated in the Tianfu Secret Realm, his hair was still white, but now it has returned to black. Connecting this to Xuan Sheng's attempt to gain longevity during that time, one can easily draw a conclusion - Jiang Wang had suffered a loss of lifespan for some reason!"

As Wang Yiwu's master was the martial god Jiang Mengxiong, he naturally understood the negative impact of a shortened lifespan on cultivation: "He has achieved this level of power, which is not easy. It shows his diligence."

For Wang Yiwu, this is already a rare evaluation.

Of course Jiang Wang may not necessarily need it.

"And I also discovered that Chong Xuan Sheng is now starting to collect treasures that increase lifespan. Chong Xuan Zhu Liang doesn't need them, and Bo Wang Hou has no further use for them. That leaves only one possibility: he is preparing them for Jiang Wang. It is very likely that Jiang Wang's lifespan limit has not yet been filled."

Wang Yiwu asked, "What can be utilized from this"

"The Qi Xing Lou in Dazawa County will open." Wen Lianmu said.

“It means nothing to me.” Wang Yiwu paused and asked, “Where do you want to go”

If Wen Lianmu really wanted to go to Qixing Building, he could only put this matter aside for now and switch to defense.

By now, even with his pride intact, he wouldn't dare believe he could defeat Chong Xuan without resorting to force. The problem was that Linzi wasn't a military camp, nor was it a battlefield. It wasn't just any ordinary city either. He felt like a dragon bound by chains, awkward and stifled everywhere he went.

Wen Lianmu shook his head and said, "There are treasures that can increase lifespan among them."

Wang Yiwu frowned and said, "I haven't heard of this news."

“You'll hear about it soon.” Wen Lianmu smiled and added, “Zhongxuan Sheng will too.”

Wang Yiwu understood. Wen Lianmu wanted to get rid of Jiang Wang, directly removing the left and right arms of Chong Xuan Sheng, leaving Chong Xuan Sheng isolated.

This message may not be true, but Wen Lianmu is certainly able to make people believe it.

Seeing Wang Yiwu's understanding, Wen Lianmu continued, "This information is only known to you and Chongxuan Sheng at this level. Jiang Wang couldn't possibly know on his own."

"Did you reach a cooperation with the Tian family"

It would be impossible to control the news about Qixinglou to this extent without the support of the Tian family.

"He wasn't giving me face, he was giving you, Wang Yiwu, face," Wen Lianmu said.

But he didn't say who "he" was.

Wang Yiwu only asked, "If Chongxuan Sheng knew the news, he would in order to keep Jiang Wang in Linzi to help him at this crucial time, conceal it and not tell you. Have you already thought of how to let Jiang Wang know without a trace"

Wen Lianmu didn't deny it: "When it comes to his own path, he couldn't possibly be without some reservations. Creating a rift between them is more effective than directly dismissing him. Of course, if Chongxuan sincerely confessed, and Jiang Wang went to Dazze County, that would also be the result we desire."

Xiashan Resort.

Because Jiang Wang refused to go out with him to play, Xu Xiangqian lingered for a while but got nowhere. Afterward, he turned and left, saying he was going to the mansion of Marquis Cui Cheng to look for Li Longchuan.

Of course, there may also be factors that some are unwilling to delve into the competition between Chongxuansheng and Chongxuanzun. After all, as soon as we arrived at Xiashan Biefu, we saw Chongxuansheng making a big show of it.

If something really were to happen, would he be better off helping or not helping Better to just leave.

Zhonghuan Sheng said that he had left and returned quickly, it didn't delay too much time, but when he came back, Xu Xiangqian had already left.

He didn't mind, just paying attention to Zheng Shi's reaction and talking to Jiang Wang about it.

At that moment, Jiang Wang realized that behind this seemingly simple tracking, there was so much calculation.

“Are you going to keep parrying every move like this” Jiang Wang said, a little scared. “People like you have so many twists and turns in your mind, I can’t guarantee that I won’t be tricked every time.”

“Of course, I'm already ready to move…” Zhong Xuan Sheng said, then paused, raising his voice: “What kind of people are we” starfield, those true Southern Dipper stars, a collection of rules and concepts in concrete form, have for sixty thousand years been constantly approaching but never truly captured.
