Chapter 121: The Old Man
n may very well be the springboard for your future glory. At the very least, the other princes will become complacent and less wary of you, no longer seeing you as a threat.""But if you can't even con...Zhenxuan Sheng really didn't say anything. It involves military secrets, it's not a joke.
But he has revealed all that can be revealed, and those who understand will naturally understand.
Qi State will have a major military action soon, but it is unknown who the target of their attack will be!
It seems that the previous assassination of the general at Qu Guo's border town has already touched a nerve. As the overlord of the Eastern countries, Qi Guo's every move will undoubtedly attract attention from all over the world.
And as for the Treasure Pavilion mentioned by Chongxuan Sheng, it has always been on par with the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. Throughout the world, it is also one of the top-tier merchant organizations.

The Treasure Pavilion Merchant Association had a common name and straightforward dealings. They always adhered to the motto "Business is Business," showing no favoritism and only following rules. They paid upon delivery, ensuring a clear transaction.
Because it "smelled too much like copper," it was looked down upon by many high-ranking individuals.
Among them, Xu Fang, a famous scholar, was a typical example. Once, after drinking too much, he angrily denounced in front of many nobles: "In my opinion, among all the people who are smelly and detestable, none compare to the members of the Ju Bao Merchant Association!"
And every time he saw someone from the Treasure Chamber, he would deliberately cover his nose as if to say it smelled too bad.
For a long time, the word "copper smell" was inseparable from the Baoju Association.
In response to this, the president of the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce only said: "It's bustling and crowded with people coming for money and going for money!"

No other response was made.
In the mainstream public opinion arena, Ju Bao Merchant Guild certainly cannot compare to the Four Seas Merchant Alliance with its noble lineage. (The Four Seas Merchant Alliance has a prestigious council of nine members, all of whom are titled nobles and imperial relatives.)
But those who truly hold power can understand that in terms of strength, the Ju Bao Merchant Guild has already become the leader among all merchant guilds in Qi. It has long left the Four Seas Merchant Alliance behind.
For Jiang Wang, all of this could be put aside for now.
Now that the plague has been brought under control, the thing he most wants to do is pursue the true culprit behind this plague, the White Bone Dao!
Although the person who spread the plague using pig bones has died, Jiang Wang has reason to believe that there must be a backup plan from the Bai Gu Dao faction.

Then what is the point of spreading this plague Is it just to kill people

Or sects like the White Bone Dao, there is indeed a tendency toward world-ending.
But relying on this plague alone is obviously not enough.
In fact, if the Jiacheng authorities had chosen to impose a citywide lockdown at the first sign of the plague and ceded some power to Yangting, the plague would not have reached its current scale.
Furthermore, Jiang Wang believed he had a decent understanding of the Bai Gu Dao and knew how terrifying this sect was. In terms of both their vast influence and cruel methods, they were rarely matched.
When Xiao Lin Town was destroyed, Wei Qiji used the Three Cities Discourse to set a trap and kill many Bai Gu Daoist disciples. He thought that everything was over. But afterwards, the entire Feng Lin City area was wiped out.
Never underestimate the Bai Gu Dao! This is what Jiang Wang constantly reminds himself.
When it comes to targets of hatred, Jiang Wang is willing to give the utmost vigilance and caution, giving them the highest level of attention, and only then can there be a chance for the most thorough revenge.
Killing the pig's face bones is only the first step, just a trivial beginning.
On the Bone Road, there are many people to be killed and many waiting for greetings of longing.
Therefore, the most pressing question facing Jiang Wang now is:
Why did the Bai Gu Dao exterminate the Feng Lin City domain to refine the White Bone True Pill And now, in Yang Guo, they are spreading the plague. What is their purpose this time
Perhaps finding the root cause will thwart the White Bone Path's conspiracy.
Or perhaps he still lacks the power to openly challenge Bai Gu Dao. But this is the Eastern Region, tens of thousands of miles away. This is Yang Nation. Bai Gu Dao certainly doesn't have a deep foundation here. And by unleashing the plague, they've naturally become enemies of Yang Ting.
As long as one seizes the opportune moment, it is possible to sever the limbs of Bai Gu Dao's minions right here.
This information about the deepest and most secret aspects of Baigudao is difficult to obtain. So, as a fallback, after Pig Bone Face, who would Baigudao send to Yangguo to continue their work
According to the information revealed by the one who fought against the Pig Bone Faces before, at least four Twelve Bone Faces have already died in Zhu Wei's hands. In addition to the inevitable casualties in the battle of Fenglin City and the recently deceased Pig Bone Faces, there probably aren't many Twelve Bone Faces left alive.
Could this candidate be coming from the twelve faces Or perhaps...
After making arrangements for everything in Qingyang Town, he set off alone with his sword, bypassing Jia City and arriving directly at the residence of the magistrate of Rizhao County.
After stating my identity and purpose, I was received with much warmth.
Here is the translation:

The doorman and maidservants behaved impeccably.
After entering the guest hall, the county magistrate of Rizhao even got up to greet him—this was already an extremely high honor.
>
But at first contact, Jiang Wang felt greatly disappointed.
For, the white-haired elderly magistrate of Rizhao County, after exchanging polite greetings, his first words were: “I wonder how much aid Mr. Chongxuan plans to provide to our county”
It turned out this enthusiasm was because they considered him a representative of the Chongxuan School and believed that the Chongxuan School would make a large donation to Rizhao County—this naturally had precedents. As the sovereign nation, Qi had specially sent officials to perform sacrificial rites for Yang Country, praying for its well-being, and the Qi court also dispatched a team of medical practitioners to Yang Country.

Donations from all over Qi State to Yang Guo continue to flow in.
In fact, many of the materials purchased by the Four Seas Merchant Alliance were reportedly sold at half price or donated after being said to be used for aid in Yang Guo's disaster relief.
This is thanks to the good relations between the two countries over the years, thanks to Yang Guo's "unwavering loyalty".
"Whenever Qi attacks, the state of Yang will surely follow. Whenever Qi has a need, the state of Yang will surely help." This phrase found in diplomatic records is well-remembered by many.
Many people in Qi regarded the people of Yang as their own.
It stands to reason that the county magistrate of Rizhao should care about the donations received by the people within the county.
But the problem is, even if the Chongxuan family wanted to donate supplies to Rizhao County, they wouldn't go through the county magistrate. Delivering them directly to the Sihai Merchant Alliance is undoubtedly a more reassuring choice for the people of Qi. (Of course, after the experience in Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang now knows that the Sihai Merchant Alliance is not very trustworthy either.)
From the depths of Rizhao County Magistrate's aged, cloudy eyes, Jiang Wang saw only bottomless greed!
He forced down his displeasure and said, "Actually, Jiang's purpose in coming here is something else."
“Oh” The magistrate of Rizhao County leaned back in his chair abruptly, his eyes dimmed further, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. He said in a bland tone, “I wonder what important matter could be more urgent than disaster relief”
"Jiang Wang's arrival is to avert the danger of the Ri Zhaogun being destroyed!" Jiang Wang exclaimed, "Do you think this is a matter of importance"
The magistrate of Rizhao County smiled ambiguously, probably having seen too many alarmists: "What kind of imminent danger"
"My lord, do you know the source of this plague outbreak"
"All this is due to the deceit of the two city lords of Jiacheng and Yuecheng. This county magistrate has already sent a report reprimanding them. The lord of Jiacheng has been killed by righteous men." At this point, the magistrate of Rizhao glanced at Jiang Wang before continuing, "As for the lord of Yuecheng's fate, we must wait and see what he says and how he acts."
Jiang Wang simply couldn't believe it, the Yuecheng City Lord was still in office! He had only received a reprimand from the county government. What difference was that from being fined three cups of wine
To kill Xi Munan and expose the state of the plague in Jiaceng isn't he overstepping his bounds, meddling in affairs that don't concern him
At least from the county magistrate of Rizhao's words now, his detached attitude was already very obvious.
It basically means, "Since you're not here to donate, get lost and don't interfere with my business."
But at this time, Jiang Wang could only pretend not to understand.
"My Lord County Magistrate!" he said, "This plague is the result of the White Bone Daoist Master's machinations. It is truly not a natural disaster but a man-made calamity. While the city lords of Jia and Yue are internal threats, the White Bone Dao is the root cause! I wonder if my Lord County Magistrate is aware of this matter"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hearing this, the magistrate of Rizhao County had completely lost interest.
He immediately picked up his teacup, gesturing to his guest with a hint of dismissal: "Matters like this are governed by the county's own regulations, and I, as its magistrate, am not responsible."he surprised me.”“Although I don’t have concrete evidence this time, for someone like Bao Zhongqing, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to speculate with the worst intentions. You're busy dealing with yo...
