like the back of his hand, gliding effortlessly through the gaps in their positions. Before long, he had left the area behind and ascended a mountain.This mountain, when viewed from afar, resembles a...The carriage had now driven out of Nan Yao City.

Zhong Xuan Sheng dropped the curtain and looked at the old man across from him, with a sly smile: "It goes without saying that Zhong Xuan Sheng is more handsome than you. A fine young man shouldn't be judged by his appearance alone."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

The stout old man smiled kindly: "It's the face."

He turned his head to look at Jiang Wang, and repeated: “It’s your face.”

Jiang Wang nodded in deep agreement.

Zhong Xuan shrugged nonchalantly. He seized the opportunity to introduce Jiang Wang: "This is my esteemed uncle. Because of my handsome looks, he has always doted on me since I was young. Don't let his kind demeanor fool you now; back in the day, he was known as the 'Ferocious Butcher,' a name so fearsome it could make children cry themselves to sleep at night!"

Chong Tu Chong Xuan Chu Liang, the younger brother of the current head of the Chong Xuan family, was the youngest in his generation.

Now, when it comes to Chong Xuan Chulian, many people probably don't remember him.

But if one were to mention the bloody battle of Qi Xia thirty years ago, I am afraid no one would be unaware of the name of the ruthless butcher.

That battle back then was the one that established Qi's dominance in the eastern regions.

As a powerful challenger to Qi in the east, the army of Xia was exceptionally strong.

The two nations waged war, the battle lasting for a full four months.

It was precisely Chong Xuan Chu Liang who, in the end, led his troops to attack the rear lines, killing and plundering cities, cutting off supplies and destroying their land, causing great chaos in Xia's rear.

In that battle, the Xia Kingdom, which had once been powerful and dominated both the east and southeast regions, was thoroughly defeated and reduced to a crippled state. It was forced to cede large swathes of territory, abandon numerous vassal states, and retreat back to the southern region.

This is a simple example of using HTML tags. You can use them to format your text and make it more readable.

If the Jing Kingdom of the Central Plains had not intervened for the purpose of maintaining balance at that time, the Xia Kingdom would have been destroyed.

...because of his extremely brutal style of command in that war, Chong Xuanzhui was thereafter given the name "The Cruel Butcher".

Perhaps because they were both a bit chubby and had squinting eyes, among the younger generation, Chong Xuan, who had lost his father since childhood, always favored him from a young age.

Just like Chongxuan Sheng and Chongxuan Zun, both are grandsons of the current head of the family, Chongxuan Yunbo. They are first cousins.

However, Chong Xuan Sheng's father died young, which put him at a disadvantage compared to Chong Xuan Zun from the start.

But the generation of Chong Xuan's father produced almost no outstanding talents. Otherwise, the succession to the head of the family wouldn't have come down to the generation of Chong Xuan Zun and Chong Xuan Sheng to compete for.

> Chong Xuan's father was no exception. He still held a position of power within the clan, but there was no way he could advance any further. However, he had already made up his mind and now devoted all his energy to helping his son ascend to a higher position.

Most of the elders in the family were lukewarm. The only one who clearly supported Chong Xuan Sheng was this Chong Xuan Chu Liang.

In the city of Nanyao, he managed to drive away Jiang Wuyong's chief eunuch with a single utterance. This shows that despite the passage of time, the terror of the slaughterer is still vividly remembered by people.

“Hello, senior,” Jiang Wang greeted earnestly. He didn't have much of an intuitive impression of this short and stout old man’s fierceness; he just found him quite kind and approachable.

Zhen Xuan chuckled with a satisfied smile, looking quite impressed by Jiang Wang. “Sheng’er has an eye for people,” he said. “You’re quite good. Your swordsmanship has some style.”

For someone as powerful as him, "having some style" is already a good evaluation.

Jiang Wang also accepted it calmly.

It's a rare opportunity to ride in the same car as someone of this level of strength, so he took the chance to ask some difficult questions about cultivation.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang patiently answered his questions one by one, greatly benefiting him.

After chatting about matters of cultivation, the carriage had already driven quite far.

Zhong Xuan Sheng was going straight to Handan, the capital of Qi, to continue what he had left unfinished.

As for Jiang Wang, after thinking it over, he felt that fighting against Jiang Wuyang was not a suitable match for him at the moment, and therefore it wasn't wise to appear in Handan.

Even if Jiang Wuyong didn't want to bring up old grudges, seeing him around every day would be hard to ignore.

Therefore, he proactively asked Chong Xuan Sheng, “My sword is now forged, but my Dao techniques still need time to master. Even half a day of cultivation won't help me break through. Sitting idly is useless, is there anything I can help with”

He and Chongxuan were not simply master-disciple relationships. With the cooperation of Lianque, their bond had become even tighter, they could be said to share weal and woe.

Zhong Xuan didn't bother with polite formalities. He brought Jiang Wang to Handan at this time, where trouble outnumbered help.

He thought about it seriously and said, “There is one thing indeed. My family’s estate in Yangguo has a piece of azure stone vein that occasionally produces some valuable azure cloud stones. When I first got this vein, it was estimated to have another thirty years’ worth of mining capacity. But for some reason, after only five years of mining, it seems to have already depleted, with production declining rapidly. This is one of the things I'm currently taking care of. If you're interested, then I'll make a trip to Yangguo and take a look.”

As a powerful nation, Qi possessed vast territory and had numerous vassal states under its rule.

A vassal state is a country that acknowledges Qi as its overlord. It has to offer tribute annually, and when Qi goes to war, the vassal states must also send troops to assist.

Correspondingly, Qi has the obligation to protect these countries from invasion by other nations.

Yang Guo is one of the vassal states of Qi.

As a prominent family in the State of Qi, it was quite normal for the Chongxuan family to have businesses in neighboring countries, especially vassal states like Yang.

A vein of ore with a proven reserve enough for thirty years' worth of mining suddenly experienced a production drop. There must be something fishy going on.

Celadon jade is certainly a good material for forging weapons, but it's only a companion mineral to celadonite and its yield isn't high. Previously, in the industry passed down by Chongxuan Sheng, its value might not have been very high. But now that there's this "Lianque" lead, its value has become completely different.

In Chongxuan Sheng's eyes, it was no longer ore but a finished standard weapon!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That's why he took this matter so seriously and asked Jiang Wang to handle it.

Of course, from another perspective, although Jiang Wang's current strength is already quite good, his role in the internal strife within Qi Country is not very significant. His true value lies in his qualifications for Shen Tong Nei Fu and in the future.

Make a splash, then leave to accumulate strength elsewhere, and return when you have realized your potential. That's the real path to success.

Jiang Wang didn't think much and agreed, after all, to him Qi and Yang were both foreign countries, there was no difference.

He agreed to help Chongxuan win a match, and there was nothing more to say, he would do his best.

“By the way,” Chong Xuan Sheng suddenly remembered something and continued, “You’re going to Yang Guo anyway, and you’ll pass by Fengxian County. I heard that Zhang Yong in Fengxian County was recently wiped out. You and Zhang Yong get along pretty well, don't you You could drop by and pay your respects.”

The implication was for Ginger to help with recruitment, but there was no need to state it explicitly. Ginger would naturally understand.

"Exterminated" Jiang Wang remembered the shy and introverted boy, and couldn't help but frown. "Have you figured out who did it"

Zhong Xuan shook his head: "Not at all."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wang seemed thoughtful.

Of a fallen Zhang family, who would harbor such deep resentment

But when the phoenix, Fen Xian, rose with a brilliant talent and an opportunity to rebuild its glory, it committed such a disgraceful act.

Right there on the official road, a carriage split away from the convoy of the Heavy Xuan family.

The wheels rumbled, carrying Jiang Wang straight toward Phoenix County.
