Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 164: Once in power, he is dressed in fine clothes and rides a fierce horse, sucking the marrow out of bones, the Eight Wonders of Jianghuai, the King of Dragons is loyal to him!
In the entire Beicang Marquis Mansion, apart from the daughter Xiao Mingli, this "Shi Po Po" has the longest seniority and the highest status.

Even though he usually lives in seclusion and rarely shows up, all the big banks and families with decades of history in Jiangyin Prefecture are aware of his important position.

Quite literally.

Xiao Pingnan, the Marquis of Beicang, was located in a vassal state, commanding the Cangdu troops and guarding a certain "boundary gate", not in Jiangyin.

And this highly respected Granny Stone.
It was the eye he left in Jiangyin Prefecture!

Any incident in Jiangyin Prefecture involving Princess Xiao Mingli could be reported to the higher authorities as long as Granny Shi wanted.

That is
To offend her is equivalent to offending Marquis Beicang!
Who is Marquis Beicang?
Among the countless people in Daxuan, those who can be regarded as "noble" must at least have passed the examination and become "official".

Official in the government, title of nobility, fief, and marquis!
In the entire Jiangyin Prefecture, there is not even one 'noble family', let alone nobles with fiefs who can dominate a county or even a prefecture!
In the eyes of people of higher status, a mere fishing business is no different from the local rich people who go out to sea to fish, in wind and rain, and engage in menial jobs, or the lowest class of people.

That noble lady sent the most trusted person around this boy to ask him to come to the fishing trip.
Whatever he is thinking, it’s almost written on his face!
Chen Jing's face darkened. Even though he was unwilling, after hearing the waiter's report and the obvious statement of the young lady, he had to suppress the anger in his chest.

After enough interest has passed
The magnate of the Upper Nine Lines, a hero who had roamed the vast seas of the fishing industry, smiled, walked quickly out of the mansion, and went to greet them in person, looking very eager.

"He has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, jade-like bones and fairy-like muscles. His muscles seem to have the power of ten dragons and ten elephants. If I hadn't seen him for the first time, I would have really thought he was a Taoist disciple of the True Sect or a disciple of the Heavenly Pillar!"

Then I followed Granny Shi into the fishing house "Chen's House".

The eager eyes around him have not yet subsided.

When Ji Xiu came forward, he saw a middle-aged warrior with broad shoulders and back, tall and straight figure, walking with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, and with a sense of dignity, coming towards him.

The voice came before the person arrived, and his smile was extremely friendly. Looking at him was as if looking at an old friend.

At this time, Ji Xiu glanced at Granny Shi next to him, and from her nod, he learned that this person was Chen Jing, the "fisherman" who had been in Jiangyin Prefecture for many years and was the leader of the ferry.

The huge Chen residence is centered around him. His family has been passed down for three generations, all of whom make a living by fishing. They have a prominent status and their strength is impeccable, comparable to the master of a school!

Seeing his affectionate eyes as if he was meeting his nephew from the next generation
If he had not crippled a member of his clan and shot down the fishing company's sacrificial flag twice, Ji Xiu could not help but have the illusion that perhaps his master really had an old relationship with this Master Chen.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu curled the corner of his mouth, knowing full well that it must be Xiao Mingli's support that worked.

Otherwise, according to what Chen Jing said to Beicanghou Mansion.
If we don't give him a warning this time, give him a good beating and flatten him, I'm afraid he won't give up.

Thinking of this, looking at Chen Jing's eyes that seemed to show that he had known him for many years, Ji Xiu also smiled:

"Master Chen"

After arriving at the Chen residence of the fishing company and meeting the owner Chen Jing in person.

Seeing that at least on the surface, Granny Shi was following him, even if Chen Jing was the leader of the group, with strength that was stronger than his, and with the ability to reach the sky, he couldn't do anything to him today.
An idea suddenly came to Ji Xiu's mind.

Before, I rode a dragon into the mansion. Because of me, the wild dragon 'Cang Ming Jun' that was worshipping the fishing company was lost. Didn't he wander around the outer ring, without his worshipper, and go hungry all day long?

To raise a giant dragon that is comparable to a peak Qigong master, how much fish, meat, blood, food, spiritual medicine and spiritual materials would be needed!

In the past, Ji Xiu had no way to properly settle this big dragon that had turned against him and make him see the benefits of following him.

but now.
There is a way.

Thinking of this, the smile on Ji Xiu's face became even kinder, and he looked into Chen Jing's eyes, the two even showing a feeling of 'mutual admiration'.

However, just as he opened his mouth slightly, someone from the Chen clan who had been watching eagerly suddenly popped up with a look of indignation on his face:
"Uncle, the Third Master died at the hands of this young master. The mourning shed has not yet been removed, and the descendants of the Third Master are still in mourning!"

"How can you make peace with this kid?!"

Hearing this discordant and angry voice, Ji Xiu tilted his head and saw a familiar face.

It was Chen Chuan, the man from the Chen family who was beaten down by him in the Erhang Erguan at the Anning County Wharf, and who claimed to have mastered the family martial arts "Whale Killing Fist".

At that time, his master Duan Chenzhou was fighting Canglang, and together with Cangmingjun and a dragon, they overwhelmed the four Qi training masters who were coming with great momentum and wanted to seek revenge.

And he also displayed his power with swords, fists and arrows, and subdued these four "unruly" young talents one by one.

But now.
This kid is still the same as before and hasn't made any progress.

However, his own Taoist art has already reached the level of 'spiritual thoughts', and his martial arts have even reached the level of immortal clothes.

It is no exaggeration to say that now I only need to stir up my true energy, let my eyes flash like lightning, and shoot out the "divine fire", and I don't even need to use a single move.
This kid will be turned into ashes!
In the past, when we saw this, we needed to be on high alert.

but now
Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jing with his smile still on his face.

The latter had already frowned, as if in a dark cloud, and immediately slapped Chen Chuan without saying anything, directly knocking him out:
"I'm talking to my nephew Ji Xian, there's no reason for you to interrupt!"

Chen Jing spoke in a stern tone, with a look of disappointment on his face:

"It is because of prodigal sons like you who are defeated but still can't swallow their anger that my fishing business and my nephew Ji Xian have so many filthy things!"

"The third brother traveled a long way to seek revenge. Duan Chenzhou instinctively killed him, but he still let him go."

"Given his personality, is it necessary for him to come here on a dark and windy night to take the life of a useless person?"

"You are putting the blame on nephew Ji Xian for something you have just made up. Who taught you this? Why don't you get off my job? It's embarrassing!"

"If you continue to be so disrespectful, in three days, when the spring comes, you won't get the 'prefectural student quota' for this trip."

The slap in the face with the energy in the air stunned Chen Chuan. He didn't understand why the owner of the gang, who was originally aggressive and ready to take control of the Ji family, was standing in front of his own house.
How come there was such a sudden turn of events and his expression suddenly changed!
Even if I don't understand.

But the ruthlessness in Chen Jing's words still made Chen Chuan silent. Even though his gums were bleeding from being slapped, he dared not utter a word.

Although he was the eldest son of the main wife, he was also considered the young master of a fishing business and a talented young man.

But after all, he is not the young master of the eldest house, nor is he Chen Jing's biological son, the brother of that mansion official who occupies a seat in the palace and has the potential to become a palace official.

If we really come to a serious matter, this resolute and decisive Master Chen will not tolerate him!
Chen Jing's drastic measures made Ji Xiu look surprised, but he soon turned to admire her.

At least if it were him, after suffering such a huge loss, he would not be hypocritical to others even if the situation forced him to do so.

However, this also indirectly shows that this person is unpredictable, has deep maneuvers, and can change his expression as quickly as turning the pages of a book.

It is almost impossible to get over the offense once you have offended such a person.

so.
Of course, we must take advantage of this opportunity and make huge profits by using the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion!

We can't be friends anyway. If I don't squeeze him dry and then blackmail him, how can I justify the pain and suffering I have endured since I entered the mansion and worked so hard like a rootless duckweed?
"Nephew Ji, tell me how to deal with this evildoer. I will listen to you!"

Chen Jing looked at Chen Chuan and said something righteously when he saw that Chen Chuan didn't dare to say anything.

"No need, Master Chen, we have nothing to do with each other in the first place. It's not a good thing to make such a fuss."

Ji Xiu waved his hand and smiled:
"Before the princess came here, she praised Master Chen for his connections in Jiangyin Prefecture and his dominance at the Eight-stage Ferry. He has provided many spiritual fish to the Marquis' Mansion in the past two years and he values her very much."

"so."

"I came here this time, first, to get to know Master Chen, and second, I hope Master Chen can do me a favor, so that I can go to the ferry in the future without any obstacles, walk on the river without any scruples, catch spiritual fish, and regulate the body of the worldly lady."

Seeing Ji Xiu's sincere expression, Chen Jing narrowed his eyes, trying to resist the urge to slap the boy, but thinking of Xiao Mingli, he still forced a smile, waved his hand, and pretended to be heroic:

"What are you talking about, nephew!"

"We hit it off right away, and we both serve the princess. At the Eighth Ferry, tomorrow I will inform all the leaders, fishermen, and boat bosses to tell them to see you as if they were seeing me in person!"

"No matter which pier you go to, your status is equal to mine!"

"how?"

At first glance, it seems that Chen Jing thinks highly of Ji Xiu, but in fact this is Xiao Mingli's intention. If he disobeys, he would be offending the Beicang Marquis' Mansion.

Furthermore, Badan Ferry has been run by himself for many years. Many fishing stations and businesses go through his hands, and the ferry dragon head is also provided by him.

This guy has a title but no substance, and has no power. Since he wants this title, why not give it to him?

Chen Jing thought about it, and then smiled:
"Also, I heard that my nephew was recommended by the Northern Pacification Office's 'Gu Zhihuishi' and obtained a 'prefectural student qualification'. My son, though not talented, is a strong candidate for this 'prefectural official' examination."

"After you enter the government, I will introduce you to others. It will also be a good opportunity for you to win the next government official examination."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuyi grinned and waved his hand:
"Well, that's easy to say, Master Chen."

"But I usually go to the sea to catch spiritual fish, and it's inconvenient to take a boat, so I can't use it."

"Do you still remember the great dragon 'Cang Ming Jun' that was worshipped by the fishing company before?"

Chen Jing's expression froze, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, and his forehead was throbbing.

Lord Cangming?
How could he not remember that bastard who was born in Shuijun Mansion, accepted offerings from his fishing business, turned out to be a two-faced person, and turned against his side when he arrived in Anning County!
Eat the inside out!
He cursed inwardly, but seeing Ji Xiu's malicious smile in front of him, Chen Jing's heart suddenly twitched. Could this kid be...?

"That dragon is my friend. I usually roam the vast ocean. If I can get the help of this dragon and catch spiritual fish and marine life, it will be like having divine help!"

Ji Xiu's eyes were sincere.

"So, considering that you are serving the princess, the owner of the bank is rich and powerful, so he shouldn't care about keeping an extra dragon at the ferry to protect the weather and good harvests, right?"

"It's just right that when I have nothing to do, I can also protect the fishing business. It's like killing two birds with one stone, just like before."

See you in the picture!

How much food would a dragon need to consume if it were to be offered food all day long?
At least it is equivalent to offering sacrifices to the three great Qigong masters, and even more!

For fishing companies, this is a huge burden!

Why don't you worship it yourself? You are talking so high-soundingly!
In the past, fish were raised for fishing considerations.

but now.
The dragon had defected, and Chen Jing even personally demoted it to a "monster" and reported it to the garrison.

He said that as long as the dragon was seen approaching Jiangyin Prefecture, the ordnance camp would send out warships to kill it!

Now you ask him to cancel the reward and invite him back to worship him like an ancestor?

Chen Jing gritted his teeth and was about to consider it, but he caught a glimpse of the coldness in Granny Shi's eyes from the corner of his eye, and his heart sank.

good boy.

Are you trying to use the overwhelming power of the Marquis' Mansion to suppress him?
Row!
".good."

This word almost popped out from between his teeth.

Ji Xiu immediately smiled brightly:
"Master Chen is indeed sensible and has a vision. He is worthy of being the 'Upper Ninth Master' and one of the 'Nine Lords of Jiangyin'!"

"When my friend 'Cang Ming Jun' finds out, he will probably thank you very much!"

After saying this, Ji Xiu achieved his goal and finally decided to resign. Seeing this little fox about to retreat, Chen Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"My dear nephew, what are you talking about? Since you have devoted all your efforts to the Marquis' Mansion, I, Chen Jing, will not be vague about any requests."

"It is noon now, nephew, would you like to have a quick meal before leaving?"

Although he said this, Chen Jing's face was full of the intention of seeing him off, and he couldn't wait to get rid of this unlucky guy.

But after hearing this, Ji Xiu, who was about to leave, paused and his eyes lit up:
"Oh, I almost forgot that Master Chen was originally going to invite me to a banquet."

"It would be bad if I didn't follow the host's wishes. It just so happens that I have been in Jiangyin Prefecture for a month and have never tasted the so-called 'Eight Wonders of Jianghuai'."

The Eight Wonders of Jianghuai!

Chen Jing just felt a tightness in his chest. If Granny Shi hadn't been right next to him, he would have wanted to stab this kid to death!
Among the thirty-six trades in Jiangyin, one was named "Zhenxiu Trade".

As the name suggests, the main products are the world's top delicacies, including the 'Eight Wonders of Jianghuai', which are rarely seen at ordinary times and can only be made when salvaging rare materials.

The materials used are all the precious parts of the earth cultivated in spiritual soil, supplemented with other mountain delicacies and spiritual objects. They are very precious, and one piece costs hundreds of pure gold. Sometimes they may not be available, and you have to have a high status to queue up!

This kid is really a lion's mouth.
But because of face.

Chen Jing closed his eyes and could only squeeze out a few words from between his teeth:

"Since my nephew wants to taste it."

"Then, I'll take you to have a taste!"

"I'm telling you to remember this well. You'll never forget this feeling in your life!"

Ji Xiu smiled brightly:

"Don't worry, Master."

"Ji Xiu will never forget this feeling."

An hour later.

Ji Xiu was content, with a flash of inspiration all over his body. He walked out of a magnificent golden building, full of inspiration.

[The recipient of the ordination certificate can taste the 'Sixth Grade Spiritual Cuisine' Nine Colors and Eight Treasures Stew, which contains the remnants of the Earthly Treasure 'Autumn Leaf Begonia'. This is in line with the practice of the Rainbow Clothes Scroll, and the advance progress increases by +37! ]

[The master of the ordination can taste the 'sixth-grade spiritual food' Jade Dew Flower Pill, which arouses the spirit and soul, makes the thoughts more profound, and makes the Taoist 'Divine Talisman Fire' perception increase, and the advance progress +44! ]

[Feathered Immortal Clothes——Rainbow Skirt (100/1000)! 】

[Rule Fire: (177/800)! 】

Feeling the solidification progress of the Taoist treasure robe, he became more and more advanced, and along with his spiritual thoughts, a brilliant and burning intention rose from his sea of ​​mind.

Looking at the "no common people coming and going" behind him, if one wants to enjoy a delicious meal, one must at least work in Anning County for half a lifetime, a luxurious place, Ji Xiu sincerely sighed:
"The delicacies on the jade plate are worth a thousand dollars. The ancients were not deceiving me!"

"A dish of nine-color and eight-treasure stew, with the flavors of eight kinds of mountain creatures, including deer, leopard, elephant, tiger, snake, crane, cow, sheep, and even parts of local treasures, adding the finishing touch!"

“Although the effect is far inferior to the complete earth treasure and Qi Dao Lingdan, it’s delicious to eat it!”

"Master Chen, you are a good man!"

"To express my gratitude."

"I will lie dormant for a while, and when I am strong enough, I will use the talisman to search the mountains and chase the seas. On my left, I will have the protection of Jiaolong Cangmingjun to ensure good weather and good harvests. On my right, I will have the ability to catch fish and chase the waves, so that I will never be left without an army. My prestige and strength will both surpass yours."

"I will be kind enough to ask you to step down from this seat so that you can have some leisure time and not have to work so hard any more."

"As for the 'bitter fruit' of this huge fishing business."

"I'll take it for you!"

Ji Xiu burped, looking very satisfied.

at the same time.

Cangming Jun, who was originally hungry and full, was swimming in the East Canghai Sea. He opened his bloody mouth and swallowed some small fish and shrimps that had no nutrition, while sighing:
"Alas, I don't know when Young Master Bai Shuo will be able to show his talent and say a few good words to that great dragon son, asking me to go back."

"I really can't stand this kind of poverty-stricken life for even one day!"

Spiritual fish are rarely seen on the Dongcang Sea, and once they have reached the spiritual level, their means of survival are quite extraordinary. Without the corresponding means, whether you can catch one even if you see one depends entirely on luck.

In addition, once his powerful dragon power is revealed, the fish within a ten-mile radius will scatter. Let alone being full, it would be good enough to have a bite to eat!
Thinking of this, his dark dragon head was depressed, and he was recalling the good days when he worked in the fishing business.
In the sea of ​​soul, the 'spiritual connection' established with Ji Xiu suddenly glowed faintly.

Cangming Jun couldn't help but be refreshed, turned over, stirred up thousands of waves, and his heart tightened:
"Could it be that the Ji family encountered trouble in the capital city!?"

"But now that I am no longer being worshipped by the fishing company, the 'Arsenal' where the government soldiers are stationed is eyeing my dragon tendons and flesh. How can I get past them?"

Cangming Jun was in a dilemma for a moment.

But when he frowned and chose to accept this message.

Wait to clearly perceive the message conveyed by Ji Xiu.

The original hesitation was instantly swept away!

Following closely behind, with his eyes shining, he suddenly split the river and rode the waves, heading straight for Jiangyin Prefecture!
"Mr. Ji didn't lie to me, did he?!"

Cangming Jun murmured to himself, sensing the information from the soul, and felt a little excited.

When he arrived at the fishing ferry at lightning speed, he saw the sacrificial flag fluttering down, and the fishermen who used to carry blood and fish for him were once again busy, and there were no warships from the military camp rushing to chase him.
The dragon was immediately overjoyed, and for a moment, he showed even more respect for the Master Ji whom his young master valued:
"As expected of the future 'Prince Consort of the East Bed'. How long have you been in this city?"

"You can even subdue the fishing business. Continue to serve me!"

"If we continue at this speed"

"Why are we waiting for news from Master Bai Shuo?"

"This one obviously has a better future!"

For a moment, the dragon was in a very happy mood, once again enjoying the feeling of being worshipped. It was completely submissive to Ji Xiu and obeyed his every word!
As for the bile that was vomited out.
Only when he returned home, he silently counted the accounts and almost vomited blood.

This,

Just the beginning!
