Chapter 213 Life Is Real (Happy New Year, Everyone!)
Chapter 213 Life is really... (Happy New Year everyone!)
On the way back to the inn, Shuanzi kept talking to Xiaoxiao.
"Ha, there are so many people in the city, huh?"
"The building is really high."
"Watch your step!"
"Little girl, you really know how to walk."
He was a little helpless and clumsy, but because of this clumsiness, he showed a bit of sincerity.
Xiaoxiao finally replied: "Thank you, you can walk pretty well too."
"Ha, ha!" Shuanzi said happily: "I have never gone shopping with a girl as beautiful as you. No, I have never gone shopping with a girl..."
"We are not shopping, we are going back to the inn."
"I've never been back to an inn with a girl!"
"..."
Xiaoxiao hugged a piece of cloth, looked down at the road, and stopped talking.
Shuanzi could only look left and right, pretending that nothing had happened and the atmosphere was not awkward.
…
After leaving the small courtyard, Jiang Wang did not wander around the city anymore, but went directly back to the inn.
During the chat with Mo Zichu, he realized something belatedly.
After he got the famous instrument Sauvignon Blanc, Chongxuansheng asked him to come to Qingyang Town, probably not just for the lapis lazuli vein, but to take over the Chongxuan family's business in the entire Yang Kingdom.
This is the resource support given by the family after Chongxuan Sheng took a big step in the competition for inheritance rights. However, there are still too few people around him who are truly available.
Hu's mine is only the first step in Jiang Wangyang's journey. Helping Chongxuansheng successfully control the Chongxuan family's resources in Yangguo and providing further support for his competition with Chongxuanzun is Chongxuansheng's ultimate goal.
Of course, if Jiang Wang doesn't handle it well and proves that he doesn't have the talent in this area, Zhong Xuansheng probably won't leave the rest to him.
This is very rare for Jiang Wang. Whether he is facing White Bone Road or Zhuang Guo, he has the need to form his own force. This is a good opportunity for experience. Even further, as long as he does things well, Zhongxuan Sheng will not mind if he uses his shell to lay eggs.
The premise of all this lies in Hu's mine itself.
He wanted to resolve this matter, not to give Chongxuansheng an answer, but to give Chongxuansheng a reason to convince the rest of the Chongxuan family.
Let Shuanzi drive the car and load the purchased cloth, and the three of them left the city directly and rushed to the mine.
The only problem when leaving the city at this time is safety.
But with Jiang Wang, an extraordinary monk, there is no need to think about it.
The plan to stay in Jiacheng for one day was cancelled. Xiaoxiao naturally had no objection, but Shuanzi was a little disappointed.
While driving, he asked, "Master Dugu, why don't you live in the city?"
Jiang Wang left suddenly before without telling them what to do.
At this time, he just said casually: "There is nothing special in Jiacheng."
As for the fact that his purpose of coming to Jiacheng has been achieved, there is no need to explain it to Shuanzi.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and practiced cultivation all the way, and the carriage returned to the mining area calmly.
…
After unloading all the cloth in the car back to Jiang Wang's yard, Shuanzi drove the car to Manager Hu to report.
Xiaoxiao touched these high-quality cloths, going back and forth, and couldn't put them down.
Jiang Wang went directly into the bedroom and started doing today's evening class.
After becoming familiar with all the Taoist techniques, he entered the Taixu Illusion Realm and matched three battles. Three wins.
After exiting and reviewing for a while, I began to think about the issue of this celestite vein.
Now that the Mo family has been ruled out for the time being, things will be much easier to handle.
The remaining directions are nothing more than the extraordinary monks stationed here and the Hu family in Qingyang Town.
As for the specific incident, there are three breakthroughs.
One was that a worker saw a sheep in a mine and later left. One was a resident monk who fought with a mysterious man who broke into the mining area at night and later left. The last one is what Shuanzi said about the murder of Hu Shaomeng, the son of the pavilion chief Hu You.
I wrote these analyzes on paper one by one, read them for a while, and then lit a flame and burned them all.
…
It's quiet at night.
Jiang Wang jumped out of the window without making a sound.
With his current level of cultivation, no one in Hu's mine would be able to discover his whereabouts.
Leave the mining area and run all the way to Qingyang Town.
It is not difficult to find the pavilion chief's house, it is the most magnificent one in the whole town.
It was completely silent at this time, and most of the townspeople had fallen asleep.
Hu Youneng must be the actual operator of the Chongxuan family's Jiacheng mine, so he must have his ability. Jiang Wang will not underestimate him.
What he has learned now is indeed no satisfactory concealment technique, so he simply jumps to the roof with his physical strength, completely relying on the control of his body to make no sound.
The roof of Hu's house was covered with green tiles, and Jiang Wang jumped up like a leaf falling.
I found the main house, but heard a faint sound.
Jiang Wang estimated the position, slowly pulled out a piece of green tile, looked down, and immediately turned his eyes.
A pile of white and greasy fat almost blinded his eyes.
Now I could hear it clearly, and the faint sound was clearly the creaking of the bed.
Jiang Wang held his breath and concentrated.
After a while, the sound stopped.
Then there was a long period of rustling.
Jiang Wang heard an old man's voice saying: "Don't come over tomorrow, Shao Meng is coming back."
This person should be Hu You, the pavilion chief of Qingyang Town.
Then a female voice complained: "Your wife has been dead for eight years. Isn't it normal to remarry? Why do we always have to be sneaky? Can we hide from him forever?"
Hu You advised: "Just bear with it. He is practicing outside and doesn't come back often."
"Then why did he come back this time?"
"Don't ask about it. It's no good to know."
The woman was probably angry: "You just told me to be patient and not to ask. Why don't you tell your son to be patient and not let him call me mother?"
"He has been a barbarian since he was a child. Now he has learned a lot of skills. Do you dare to provoke him?"
The woman's voice suddenly became smaller, and she just complained: "I have never heard that I am afraid of my son."
"Alas. When he leaves, I will make it up to you."
...
Jiang Wang listened to the corner for a long time, but didn't hear anything else useful.
The only news he got was that Hu Shaomeng's father Hu You secretly found a stepmother for him, but because of Hu Shaomeng's temper, he didn't dare to marry her openly.
What the hell is this!
He carefully stuffed the tile back and then jumped away.
He had planned to search Hu Shaomeng's room tonight, but since Hu Shaomeng hadn't been back for a long time, there wouldn't be any useful clues about his residence.
It would be better to wait for him to come back.
Judging from Hu You's words, it happened in the next two days.
On the way back to the mine, the summer night wind blew.
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of a question.
Mo Zichu and Hu Shaomeng were both practicing in other places, why did they both come back during this period? Is it just a coincidence?
...
With something on his mind, Jiang Wang was about to reach the courtyard. He changed direction deliberately and pretended to be walking out.
"Brother Xiang, are you out to enjoy the moon too?"
He greeted the down-and-out uncle who was wandering over.
I don't know why this uncle named Xiang wanders around all day.
The man raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Wang.
"Alas." He sighed.
"..." Jiang Wang couldn't help but asked, "Can I ask you why you always sigh?"
"Don't you think..." He yawned, weakly: "Isn't this kind of life boring?"
"...I just got here."
"Alas, believe me. We won't achieve anything in this life. Just endure it, endure today and tomorrow. Day after day, year after year, until we grow old, die, and are buried in the loess and turn into loess."
He drooped his eyelids: "Life really has no meaning."
Jiang Wang is not the kind of passionate young man who wants to burn with others all the time.
"I remembered that I still have one night to sleep."
He turned around and went back to his yard without saying a word. "Goodbye."
