Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 657 I am no longer a subject of Darong!

An Yuxing drank another cup of Qianbeizui, and this time he savored it carefully.

"Innate warriors will feel a strong heat flow when drinking this. Acquired warriors can add some water to it, but then it will no longer be wine!" Yang Zhengshan also drank a glass.

An Yuxing shook his head, "What a pity, the effect is rare, but I still prefer to drink the Drunken Immortal Wine!"

Well, he likes strong liquor, and liquor like Thousand Cups Drunk is not to his taste.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Since you don't like it, I won't give it to you!"

"I didn't say I don't like it, don't fool me!" An Yuxing said dissatisfiedly.

Being drunk by a thousand cups was not to his taste, but the effect of being drunk by a thousand cups was something he could not refuse.

"There is definitely no more this year, maybe next year! I'll give you a few jars next year!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

An Yuxing immediately smiled, "That's pretty good!"

"I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you a precious herb and a jar of wine!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded indifferently.

He would lose a lot of money if he spent a precious medicine and a jar of wine.

But with An Yuxing, he doesn't need to care about these things.

Although An Yuxing felt that the Thousand Cups of Drunk was extremely precious, he could never have imagined that it was brewed from spiritual fruits, so he underestimated the value of the Thousand Cups of Drunk.

The two chatted while drinking, and after a long time An Yuxing finally turned the topic to business.

"What are your plans?" An Yuxing asked.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him and asked knowingly, "What plan?"

"Darong! Don't say you know nothing!" An Yuxing said.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said calmly, "I plan to let Chengye establish a country and dynasty!"

An Yuxing rarely became serious, "Have you decided?"

Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows, "Are you not surprised?"

An Yuxing shook his head slightly. "What's so surprising? If my descendants are promising, I wouldn't mind them creating a prosperous dynasty!"

You can talk to a congenital warrior about any kind of emotion, including family love, love, friendship, filial piety, and loving one's parents, but you cannot talk to him about loyalty to the emperor. It's not that congenital warriors are not loyal, but very few congenital warriors are loyal to the emperor.

Because once a warrior enters the innate realm, he will become the emperor's guest of honor. The emperor must treat innate warriors with great courtesy and cannot force anything.

An Yuxing has been a congenital warrior for sixty or seventy years. He is no longer the loyal minister and general he once was. He is now one of the top martial arts masters in Darong.

If you talk about loyalty to the emperor in front of him, he will slap you to death.

When Xiantian gets angry, blood splatters five steps away. He can kill an ordinary man or an emperor or a general.

One's own powerful strength is the greatest reliance of an innate warrior. As for the others, they are just icing on the cake.

Yang Zhengshan smiled gently and said, "What do you think?"

An Yuxing sipped the Drunken Immortal Brew, and the spicy and stimulating wine went down his throat. "It doesn't matter what you think. Apart from Chenhui, my An family doesn't have any outstanding talents."

Since the Yang family wants to seize the throne, he no longer has anything to worry about.

The An family is in such a state that it is not worth mentioning at all. As for An Chenhui, he is Yang Zhengshan's disciple and Yang Zhengshan's nephew-in-law, and now he is in Chongshan Town.

If Yang Chengye could really found a country and establish a dynasty, An Chenhui's contribution would be indispensable.

After Yang Chengye founded the country and established the dynasty, An Chenhui would naturally be able to represent the An family in the new dynasty to gain merit and become a noble.

These are enough, he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

"Senior, do you know where Jian Chengfeng went?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

An Yuxing smiled and said, "I know. He talked to me about it before he left Sanshan Valley. But he has his choice, and I can't stop him from making it!"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his long beautiful beard, thinking, "So he joined the bandits?"

"It's not bandits, it's the King of Daliang!" An Yuxing said.

King Daliang used to be a bandit, but now he is no longer a bandit. After he occupied Hanzhong Prefecture, he has been expanding northwards and eastwards. Now he has occupied most of the prefectures and counties in Longnan, and also occupied two prefectures in Shanhe Province.

Among the many rebels, King Daliang is the strongest and closest to Kyoto.

Today, King Daliang has more than 100,000 elite soldiers and many powerful generals under his command, and has become a powerful force.

If the Yang family did not intervene in the dispute in Darong, the final result of this dispute would most likely be a showdown between King Daliang and Chen Hengchang.

It is obvious that Jian Chengfeng surrendered to King Daliang. It is not accurate to say that he surrendered to King Daliang. It would be more accurate to say that he chose to support King Daliang.

Perhaps it was because he was optimistic about King Daliang, or perhaps there were other reasons.

"With Jian Chengfeng's support, King Daliang should be able to march to the capital soon!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Jian Chengfeng's support for King Daliang was not just his own. Don't forget that he also took away more than forty Sanhuangli.

With so many Sanhuangli, you may not be able to cultivate a congenital warrior, but you can definitely cultivate a few half-step congenital warriors.

With these three Huang Lis, the shortcoming of insufficient high-end military force under King Daliang's command was made up.

An Yuxing looked up at Yang Zhengshan and grinned, "Hahaha, you, you, you are so hypocritical!"

He laughed loudly, as if he had heard a very big joke.

Of course, he was not making fun of Yang Zhengshan, he just thought Yang Zhengshan's idea was very interesting.

Yang Zhengshan was quite helpless, "There's no other way, there must be a legitimate reason, hey~~"

An Yuxing restrained his smile and said, "I heard Chen Mingxi is here too?"

"Ok!"

"Haha~~~" An Yuxing sneered disdainfully, "They are still used to being high and mighty. It's amazing that they can let Chen Mingxi come to invite you!"

"What? Is Chen Mingxi not qualified?" Yang Zhengshan was a little surprised.

An Yuxing shook his head slightly, "Chen Mingxi is naturally not qualified. Although she is an innate warrior, her strength is still too weak!"

"If I were Chen Wansong, I would come and invite you in person. This way there might still be a little hope!"

"Not only will I come in person, I will also bring Chen Zhaojun with me!"

"What about the court, what about state affairs? As long as we invite you back, nothing will be a problem!"

He seemed to have great confidence in Yang Zhengshan, and his words made Yang Zhengshan feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh! Do you believe in my ability so much?" Yang Zhengshan asked curiously.

"Of course!" An Yuxing was a little drunk.

The power of Drunken Immortal Wine is really not exaggerated. Even An Yuxing, a big drunkard, can't resist the aftereffects of Drunken Immortal Wine.

Yang Zhengshan was also a little drunk, but he drank less and was able to keep a clear head.

The two chatted nonsense like this until An Yuxing fell into a deep sleep and Yang Zhengshan stood up.

"This old guy is still the same as before!"

Yang Zhengshan complained.

However, he was still considerate enough to help An Yuxing up and sent him to a small courtyard not far away to rest.

……

The next day, Yang Zhengshan still met with Chen Mingxi.

In the ancient teahouse, Yang Zhengshan and Chen Mingxi sat opposite each other, with Qingxia standing beside them, personally serving them.

There is no other way but to ask Qingxia to do the job of serving tea and water.

Although there were more than a dozen maids and old women in Yang Zhengshan's yard, most of them were menial maids and old women, doing chores such as washing, sweeping and cleaning. As for serving tea and water, only Qingxia and Hongyun were able to do it beside Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

If it were someone else, Yang Zhengshan would not need anyone to serve him, but it was different when facing Chen Mingxi. He had to find someone who understood the many etiquette rules to serve him.

"Your Highness, please!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile when he saw Qingxia had already poured the tea.

Chen Mingxi held the tea gracefully and sipped it carefully. Her eyes lit up as the mellow tea aroma entered her throat.

“Good tea!”

Yang Zhengshan explained: "This is the new tea that my wife roasted herself. If Your Highness likes it, you can take a few kilograms with you when you leave!"

"Then I wonder if Madam Yu is here? I've wanted to visit Madam Yu for a long time, but unfortunately I heard that she is not on the island!" Chen Mingxi thought about following Madam Yu Qingyi's lead, but unfortunately Yu Qingyi had been hiding in the space and had never come out.

"Well, it's unfortunate that Your Highness came. She just went out to visit a friend not long ago!" Yang Zhengshan naturally would not say that Yu Qingyi was hiding.

Chen Mingxi nodded slightly and continued to savor the fragrant tea.

Yang Zhengshan was also drinking tea by himself.

To be honest, he didn't know what to say to Chen Mingxi. They were not familiar with each other, so there was nothing to talk about. In addition, Chen Mingxi's identity was different, so Yang Zhengshan couldn't talk nonsense with him.

In comparison, it is more comfortable to drink with An Yuxing. The two of them can talk nonsense, laugh and curse.

Seeing that Yang Zhengshan didn't say anything, Chen Mingxi sighed and could only take the initiative to start the conversation.

"I believe that you, senior, also know that the Darong government is in decline and rebellion is spreading everywhere!"

Yang Zhengshan lowered his eyes slightly, "I've heard of some things."

"The Emperor's uncle and His Majesty want to invite you to go back and preside over the government, restore the imperial power, and wipe out the rebels!" Chen Mingxi said bluntly.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "Your Highness, I am no longer a subject of Darong!"

Chen Mingxi was stunned and looked at Yang Zhengshan with a dull look.

She didn't expect Yang Zhengshan to be so direct.

This is not a rejection, it is a way to draw a clear line with Darong.

"senior!"

Yang Zhengshan interrupted, "Your Highness should understand that it's not that I don't want to go back, but that if I go back, Your Majesty will not be able to live with myself!"

"When the late emperor was in power, he had already considered this issue. It was precisely because of this issue that I chose to leave Darong, and the late emperor was willing to let go!"

"If I go back now, to put it bluntly, even if His Majesty can trust me, I may not be able to trust myself!"

At this point he took a sip of tea and continued, "And your highness may not know that my Yang family has already established a dynasty, the Dajing Dynasty, a thousand miles south of Shenmu Island, and my grandson is the king!"

Chen Mingxi stared at Yang Zhengshan blankly, her mind a little confused.

The Yang family established a dynasty?
This is something she doesn't know!
If the Yang family has founded a country and established a dynasty, then what reason does Yang Zhengshan have to return to Dayong?

Go back and fight for Darong's kingdom?

"This~~"

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and continued to taste the tea casually.

Return to Darong?
He would definitely go back, but not now.

And even if he went back, he would not be loyal to Emperor Darong!

To put it bluntly, Chen Zhaojun is not qualified!

In terms of noble status, the emperor is naturally the most noble existence, but in terms of status and position, sorry, once they leave their territory, what dignity do they have?

To put it simply, the dignity of an emperor only exists within the territory of the dynasty. Once they step out of their own territory, everyone will only look at their strength.

You are strong, so I respect you.

Your strength is weak, haha~~
In the past, Darong was very powerful, and its influence could affect the southeastern waters, which is the western area of ​​the Wanli Sea, but that was all.

When you reach the central and eastern parts of the Wanli Sea, who will care that you are the emperor of Dayong?

And what about the Yang family now?

Although not as powerful as Dayong in the past, the Yang family's might has been demonstrated. Among the many forces in the central area of ​​the Wanli Sea, all of them are in awe of the Yang family.

With just a few words, Yang Zhengshan finished talking so much that Chen Mingxi hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up and asked Yang Zhengshan to go back to Darong.

The reason why she gave up was not because of those "treasonous" words Yang Zhengshan said, but because Yang Zhengshan's attitude said it all.

Chen Mingxi left just like that, and when she left she even forgot about her grandniece Chen Yan.

I don’t know if she did it on purpose or if she really forgot, but she didn’t mention Chen Yan when she left.

Yang Zhengshan was also happy to save himself the trouble. Since she had forgotten, Yang Zhengshan naturally would not take the initiative to remind her.

An Yuxing was not in a hurry to leave. Yang Zhengshan arranged a yard for him and he lived directly on Shenmu Island.

This old guy never cares about those mundane etiquettes, and he is shameless. He is not at all shy staying on Shenmu Island.

An Yuxing also has relatives on Shenmu Island. Although he did not send his descendants to Shenmu Island, don’t forget that Yang Chengmao is still his disciple.

Now that the master has arrived, Yang Chengmao naturally has to accompany him.

So An Yuxing had a very happy stay on Shenmu Island. When Yang Zhengshan was free to pay attention to him, he would go to Yang Zhengshan for a drink. When Yang Zhengshan was not free to pay attention to him, he would take Yang Chengmao to wander around the island.

Sometimes I would also give some advice to Yang Chengmao.

Although Yang Chengmao had Yang Zhengshan as his mentor, it would still be of great benefit to him to have an additional senior mentor.

However, Yang Chengmao's cultivation level greatly surprised An Yuxing.

How old is Yang Chengmao?

He is not even forty years old now.

But he has already reached the ninth level of acquired cultivation, and it seems that it won’t be long before he can reach the half-step innate level.

A half-step innate warrior who is around forty years old is a brilliant existence no matter where he is.

However, what surprised An Yuxing even more was that there were many geniuses on Shenmu Island who were not inferior to Yang Chengmao.

He didn't notice it at first, but when he discovered another genius, his jaw almost dropped.

The genius he discovered was none other than Wang Mingzhe.

Wang Mingzhe is one year younger than Yang Chengmao, but he is already half a step away from being a master of the innate realm.

In terms of talent, Wang Mingzhe is definitely superior to Yang Chengmao.

With the first, there is the second and the third.

An Yuxing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and that day, accompanied by Yang Chengmao, he came to the training ground of Shenmu Island.

This parade ground belongs to the Shenmu Navy. Recently, the Shenmu Navy has been expanding its enrollment and has recruited another 2,500 soldiers, making up the total of 5,000.

This was the time for training of the newly recruited naval officers and soldiers.
