Capítulo 2023: Chapter 173: The Lofty Spirits of Youth at the Tavern
When stepping out from Donghua Pavilion, the morning bell hanging from the Star Observation Tower was gently ringing.
It awakened Jiang Wang’s sowhat dazed thoughts.
He was genuinely dizzy from reciting books, feeling nervous.
Though he had indeed worked hard usually, failing to recite this one correctly could be considered a cri against the emperor! The pressure was truly imnse.
He never expected Emperor Qi summoned him to Donghua Pavilion, spent a whole hour just to test his book recitation!
At this crucial mont when troops are about to be dispatched for war against the Sumr Country.
The whole court of civil and military officials awaits his command.
This Great Qi Emperor… Is he really too idle!?
But this kind of idleness before a major battle, this leisure to tease a young Viscount before court discussions.
It indeed conveys a sense of composure, a kind of confidence.
The composure of gazing over the world.
The confidence of grasping heaven and earth!
What is the Sumr Country? What difficulties are there in this ga of the world?
Even if Jiang Shu casually chats, calls young n in front to recite books obediently, casually making moves… As the move lands, the mountain is tipped!
Accompanied by Writing Eunuch Qiu Ji, Jiang Wang walked outside the Imperial City, feeling truly serene within himself.
“Lord Jiang, our family will not accompany further.”
“Eunuch, stay please. I won’t get lost in Linzi.”
It was only then Qiu Ji smiled.
But he still didn’t speak further, directly returning to the palace.
Jiang Wang had no ti to ponder whether Qiu Ji had anything unsaid when he saw a palanquin ahead lifting its curtain.
Zhongxuan Sheng waved to him: “Co in!”
“What’s happening?” Inside the palanquin, Jiang Wang asked.
The palanquin was already lifted, the bearers marched swiftly.
Zhongxuan Sheng still squeezed with Shisi inside, just waved his hand: “First tell about you! What did the emperor find you for?”
“Asked to recite so books.” Jiang Wang said honestly.
Zhongxuan Sheng paused for a mont, seemingly not expecting Emperor Qi to be so idle, but imdiately said: “Seems today’s court discussion will decide the leader of the Fa Xia campaign!”
Jiang Wang couldn’t understand how he linked the two matters.
But he was already accustod.
Trusting Zhongxuan Sheng’s conclusion is sufficient, the analysis process isn’t very important.
So he shrugged his shoulders: “Where are we headed now?”
“Nanyao.” Zhongxuan Sheng seed to be thinking about political affairs, sowhat inattentive: “A move made long ago should be wrapped up.”
Chiyang Prefecture, Nanyao City, Lian’s family.
The foremost weapon-makers’ aristocratic family in Great Qi.
One of the five universally recognized holy lands for weapon-making in the world.
Of course, this so-called “holy land” is rely a title for show, far from comparing with holy places like the Hanging Monastery or Jade Capital Mountain.
Just like the famous weapons in the world, all attach to people, handled by people. Never has anyone been heard strengthened by any weapon, only weapons gaining fa through the strong.
Most weapon-makers also exist attached to powerful forces, having little sense of presence themselves.
Through Jiang Wang and Lian Que’s relationship, Zhongxuan Sheng had secretly been deploying in Nanyao Lian’s family for a long ti.
In a key war like Fa Xia, at the final competitive mont with Zhongxuan Zun, he seeks to gather all his strength.
Jiang Wang naturally understands.
Thus closed his eyes ready for cultivation: “Just call when we’re there.”
“It’s too late.” Zhongxuan Sheng suddenly shouted: “Stop the palanquin!”
The palanquin stopped, he pushed Jiang Wang a bit: “We need to finish this before the court discussion results reach Nanyao City. Can’t wait in the palanquin.”
The Great Qi’s armory is in Chiyang, Chiyang’s armory is in Nanyao.
Lian’s family’s importance naturally cannot be doubted, Nanyao City’s armory output is certainly firmly controlled by the Qi Court too.
But likewise, among the dispatched army, so many units, who should get the most excellent batch of armor, who should first equip, who should get replenishnt quickest?
Under the court’s command, Lian’s family also has relative freedom.
This power is very important!
This is why Fourteenth Prince Jiang Wuyong once had delusions to ddle.
Once court discussion ends, Fa Xia’s leader selection is set, then the battle will start imdiately. By then among participants, those approaching Lian’s family certainly won’t be few.
So Zhongxuan Sheng says, be quick.
Thus on Linzi’s street, the three of them sprang up, flying straight towards Chiyang Prefecture.
Jiang Wang’s Grade-4 Green Badge, and Zhongxuan Sheng’s family background, at such a mont have very clear roles—almost no one would protest.
Those who could protest probably are still in Purple Pole Hall attending court discussions now!
The three flew swiftly unimpeded, directly crossing mountains, spanning prefectures and cities, within a few hours, they had reached Nanyao City.
Zhongxuan Sheng’s goal was very clear, directly landing before Lian’s ancestral temple.
Their bold journey, flying all the way from Linzi to Nanyao City, then coming directly to Lian’s ancestral temple, Lian’s family naturally wouldn’t remain ignorant.
Lian’s family head Lian Zhuping rushed over with several family elders, his expression unnatural, yet still forced a smile: “Young Master Zhongxuan! Lord Jiang! What brings you here today?”
“This isn’t the place to talk.” He extended his hand leading: “I’ve prepared a banquet at the tavern, honored to have you both.”
Today’s Lian Zhuping, vastly different from the past!
What arrogance before, what deference now.
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Zhongxuan Sheng casually said: “I think there’s no need, so things should be said in the tavern, so can only be said here!”
Lian Zhuping’s face fell: “Young Master Zhongxuan, what do you an?”
No matter what, he is the head of a clan, the leader of a notably reputable family.
