Chapter 179 Famous Sword Villa

Looking back at the retreating city wall of Chongzhou Mansion, Wu Chong felt inexplicably sad.

After serving as an official for one term, no one saw him off when he left.

This was all done collectively, and it was a complete failure.

‘If it’s in the Twenty-eight Prefectures, at least Lianxing will come to see me off. ’ The only person who could be regarded as a relative since he came to this world flashed through Wu Chong’s mind.

But, I still don’t know if I can go back.

The First Demon Forest, the holy temple where demons worship. There are too many things hidden there, and at this stage, he wouldn't be able to understand it even if he went back, let alone return. Maybe you can figure out the secrets when you reach a higher level in the future.

Putting down the curtain, Wu Chong closed his eyes and meditated.

This carriage belongs to the post station and can be requisitioned by officials who are out. The driver is from the post station. For generations, they have been driving horses for the post station.

Walked for half a day.

When they were about to leave the boundary of Chongzhou Prefecture, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's up?"

"Sir, there is someone in front of you to see you off."

The coachman replied cautiously.

Wu Chong was a little surprised, but still got off the carriage.

There is a pavilion at the boundary monument in front, which is a farewell pavilion built by the state capital. Next to it are some poems left by literati and poets.

There was a gorgeous white carriage parked next to the stop, and Qu Feiyan, dressed in rich clothes, was standing there, smiling and waving to Wu Chong. Not far from her, there was someone Wu Chong didn't expect. It was Ma Runan, the deputy he had promoted when he was in black.

A woman who was incompatible with those old officials didn't know how she was deceived by Yue Qun into going to a brothel to treat him to dinner.

"Brother Wu, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"grown ups!"

The two of them took a few steps forward at the same time.

In the carriage behind, there were some guards from the Wangjiang Sword Sect to protect Qu Feiyan, but none of these people came close.

"Why are you here?"

I was still lamenting that no one saw me off, but not long after, two people came. Qu Feiyan was not a surprise, but Ma Runan was something Wu Chong had not expected, because the two had no personal friendship, just a simple working relationship. In his eyes, Ma Runan was just a relatively easy-to-use tool.

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

Wu Chong glanced at Qu Feiyan, and then his eyes fell on Ma Runan.

"I'm out of black."

Ma Runan responded respectfully, his attitude was exactly the same as when Wu Chong was still Dutong, and it did not change at all because of his resignation.

"Why?"

Wu Chong was a little surprised.

Ma Runan is not an ordinary head catcher in black clothes. Normally, he will not leave this kind of position.

"Please take me in, sir. I will never betray you again."

Ma Runan replied cautiously.

This is a stubborn girl. She told Wu Chong last time that she would never betray her again, so she really didn't betray her anymore. In fact, when he faced Hua Chen for the first time, Wu Chong didn't pay attention to Ma Runan's withdrawal at all. Under the circumstances, it was useless for him to stay. Not to mention that when this girl left, she stupidly came up to say goodbye to him, but with this behavior, if Hua Chen was still alive, she would be punished.

Later, Wu Chong re-enabled her because of this consideration. At least someone like Ma Runan would not betray him silently. I didn't expect that such a small favor would win the other party's die-hard loyalty.

"Your family doesn't object?"

"This subordinate is alone. His parents are long gone."

Looking at this stubborn girl, Wu Chong finally agreed to her.

When you go to a new place and you are short of manpower, it will be much more convenient to have such a familiar person by your side.

"Brother Wu, I can't go with you."

After the two of them finished speaking, Qu Feiyan spoke.

This little girl is still as sensible as ever, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"Stay well in Chongzhou Mansion. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, ask someone to send me a message." Wu Chong reached out and touched Qu Feiyan's head skillfully.

Although this little girl tries hard to pretend to be an adult.

But Wu Chong feels that every age group has its own way of living. If you mature too early, you will lose a lot.

Had a simple meal.

The group of people said goodbye. Get back on the carriage and continue driving towards the new place. The difference is that this time there is one more person in the carriage.

Five days later.

The carriage finally entered the territory of Wanjian City under official conditions.

Unlike the previous Chongzhou Mansion, the government in Chongzhou Mansion was the most powerful, and there were basically no well-established Jianghu sects behind the scenes. But here in Wanjian City, the power of the government is very weak. The most powerful one here is Mingjian Villa.

Before Mozhou was changed to Daozhou, Mingjian Villa already existed. This is a famous sect that has been inherited for more than three hundred years. Even the Wangjiang Sword Sect and Fuwei Escort Agency have to make way for Mingjian Villa here.

After the demon was defeated, Mingjian Villa led the crowd to surrender, received Daqi's reward, and became a major sect recognized and registered by the Zhenwu Sect.

The position that Wu Chong came to take over was the owner of Sword Villa!

Oddly enough, most of these local forces should be inherited from the family, but this Sword Villa does the opposite. The successive owners of the Famous Sword Villa were all selected through martial arts competitions. Those who can become the owner of the Villa are top-notch figures in the world, both in terms of fame and strength, and are famous in the Demon State.

Wu Chong was the first to break this common sense.

He, the owner of the village, has little reputation in the Demon State, and no one has ever seen his martial arts. He is considered an official parachute officer.

"This seat is not easy to sit in."

Wu Chong looked at the information on Famous Sword Villa in his hand and had a general understanding of the new force he was about to take over.

There will definitely be trouble inside, but this is a step he must take.

Before he has the strength to overturn Daqi, he still needs to act according to the rules set by the other party. Otherwise, collecting foundation building materials will be a problem. Calculated according to the settings of energy conservation, the materials needed for pill formation will definitely be more difficult to find later. Without the support of forces, just finding the location of those materials will be a problem.

The carriage drove into Wanjian City.

Someone has already arranged a restaurant in the city, and the Great Qi is at its peak. In this case, no matter what the following people think, whether they are convinced or not, they must show their outward attitude.

"Master, you are here. From now on, our Mingjian Villa will have a backbone."

At the reception banquet, the group took turns toasting.

The speaker was a fat man with a flattering smile on his face. This man's name was Bao Cheng, nicknamed 'the shopkeeper'. He was the external manager of Mingjian Villa and one of Wu Chong's subordinates in the future.

After having enough wine and food, Wu Chong put down his wine glass and spoke.

"Thank you for your compliments, but Wu has official duties, so we can discuss other matters after I take over as the owner of the village."

Just want to do something with this sugar-coated bullet? Do you think he, Mr. Wu, has never seen the world?

"The owner of the village is so tired from traveling and traveling, why don't you take a good rest? The villa can't be run there, so it doesn't matter if you have it one day earlier or one day later."

Shopkeeper Bao stood up quickly.

"As for official matters, sir, you don't have to worry. I've already asked people to take stock of the accounts. I just need to wait for you to go there tomorrow morning, and those dogs will prepare everything."

While talking, shopkeeper Bao poured another glass of wine for Wu Chong and asked two geishas to be sent in. Even Ma Runan, a female subordinate, arranged for a few "gongzi" here. This attitude made Ma Runan, who had never seen the world, Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

"There's no rush. You can take me back to the villa first. After all, that will be my territory from now on." Wu Chong said calmly.

These old fritters treat him as a fool. If we really follow their lead, who will have the final say in Mingjian Villa in the future will be a problem.

He, Mr. Wu, likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he doesn't like to be taken advantage of.
